FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
The LTC®1435 is a synchronous step-down switching  
regulator controller that drives external N-channel power  
MOSFETs using a fixed frequency architecture. Burst  
ModeTM operation provides high efficiency at low load  
currents.Amaximumdutycyclelimitof99%provideslow  
dropout operation which extends operating time in bat-  
tery-operated systems.  
Dual N-Channel MOSFET Synchronous Drive  
Programmable Fixed Frequency  
Wide VIN Range: 3.5V to 36V Operation  
Ultrahigh Efficiency  
Very Low Dropout Operation: 99% Duty Cycle  
Low Standby Current  
Secondary Feedback Control  
Programmable Soft Start  
The operating frequency is set by an external capacitor  
allowing maximum flexibility in optimizing efficiency. A  
secondary winding feedback control pin, SFB, guarantees  
regulation regardless of load on the main output by  
forcing continuous operation. Burst Mode operation is  
inhibited when the SFB pin is pulled low which reduces  
noise and RF interference.  
Remote Output Voltage Sense  
Logic Controlled Micropower Shutdown: IQ < 25µA  
Foldback Current Limiting (Optional)  
Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line and Load  
Transient Response  
Output Voltages from 1.19V to 9V  
Available in 16-LUead Narrow SO and SSOP Packages  
Soft start is provided by an external capacitor which can  
be used to properly sequence supplies. The operating  
currentlevelisuser-programmableviaanexternalcurrent  
sense resistor. Wide input supply range allows operation  
from 3.5V to 30V (36V maximum).

in Applications Information section. Do notexceed10V on  
this pin. Connect to VOUT if VOUT 5V.  
COSC (Pin 1): External capacitor COSC from this pin to  
ground sets the operating frequency.  
RUN/SS (Pin 2): Combination of Soft Start and Run  
Control Inputs. A capacitor to ground at this pin sets the  
ramp timeto fullcurrentoutput. The timeis approximately  
0.5s/µF. Forcing this pin below 1.3V causes the device to

PGND (Pin 10): Driver Power Ground. Connects to source  
of bottom N-channel MOSFET and the (–) terminal of CIN.  
BG (Pin 11): High Current Gate Drive for Bottom  
N-Channel MOSFET. Voltage swing at this pin is from  
ground to INTVCC.  
ITH (Pin 3): Error Amplifier Compensation Point. The  
current comparator threshold increases with this control  
voltage. Nominal voltage range for this pin is 0V to 2.5V.  
INTVCC (Pin 12): Output of the Internal 5V Regulator and  
EXTVCC Switch. The driver and control circuits are pow-  
ered from this voltage. Must be closely decoupled to power  
ground with a minimum of 2.2µF tantalum or electrolytic  
capacitor.  
SFB (Pin 4): Secondary Winding Feedback Input. Nor-  
mally connected to a feedback resistive divider from the  
secondary winding. This pin should be tied to: ground to  
force continuous operation; INTVCC in applications that  
don’tuseasecondarywinding;andaresistivedividerfrom  
the output in applications using a secondary winding.  
VIN (Pin 13): Main Supply Pin. Must be closely decoupled  
to the IC’s signal ground pin.  
SW (Pin 14): Switch Node Connection to Inductor. Volt-  
age swing at this pin is from a Schottky diode (external)  
voltage drop below ground to VIN.  
SGND (Pin 5): Small-Signal Ground. Must be routed  
separately from other grounds to the (–) terminal of COUT  
.
VOSENSE (Pin 6): Receives the feedback voltage from an  
BOOST (Pin 15): Supply to Topside Floating Driver. The  
bootstrap capacitor is returned to this pin. Voltage swing  
at this pin is from INTVCC to VIN + INTVCC.

SENSE(Pin 7): The (–) Input to the Current Comparator.  
SENSE+ (Pin 8): The (+) Input to the Current Comparator.  
Built-in offsets between SENSEand SENSE+ pins in  
conjunction with RSENSE set the current trip thresholds.  
TG (Pin 16): High Current Gate Drive for Top N-Channel  
MOSFET. This is the output of a floating driver with a  
voltage swing equal to INTVCC superimposed on the  
switch node voltage SW.

OPERATION  
Main Control Loop  
Low Current Operation  
The LTC1435 uses a constant frequency, current mode  
step-down architecture. During normal operation, the top  
MOSFET is turned on each cycle when the oscillator sets  
the RS latch, and turned off when the main current  
comparator I1 resets the RS latch. The peak inductor  
current at which I1 resets the RS latch is controlled by the  
voltageontheITHpin,whichistheoutputoferroramplifier  
EA. The VOSENSE pin, described in the Pin Functions  
section, allows EA to receive an output feedback voltage  
VFB from an external resistive divider. When the load  
current increases, it causes a slight decrease in VFB  
relativetothe1.19Vreference,whichinturncausestheITH  
voltage to increase until the average inductor current  
matches the new load current. While the top MOSFET is  
off, the bottom MOSFET is turned on until either the  
inductor current starts to reverse, as indicated by current  
comparator I2, or the beginning of the next cycle.  
The LTC1435 is capable of Burst Mode operation in which  
the external MOSFETs operate intermittently based on  
load demand. The transition to low current operation  
begins when comparator I2 detects current reversal and  
turnsoffthebottomMOSFET. IfthevoltageacrossRSENSE  
doesnotexceedthehysteresisofI2(approximately20mV)  
for one full cycle, then on following cycles the top and  
bottom drives are disabled. This continues until an induc-  
tor current peak exceeds 20mV/RSENSE or the ITH voltage  
exceeds 0.6V, either of which causes drive to be returned  
to the TG pin on the next cycle.  
Twoconditionscanforcecontinuoussynchronousopera-  
tion, even when the load current would otherwise dictate  
low current operation. One is when the common mode  
voltage of the SENSE+ and SENSEpins is below 1.4V and  
the other is when the SFB pin is below 1.19V. The latter  
conditionisusedtoassistinsecondarywindingregulation  
as described in the Applications Information section.  
The top MOSFET driver is biased from floating bootstrap  
capacitor CB, which normally is recharged during each off  
cycle. However, when VIN decreases to a voltage close to  
VOUT, the loop may enter dropout and attempt to turn on  
thetopMOSFETcontinuously.Thedropoutdetectorcounts  
the number of oscillator cycles that the top MOSFET  
remains on and periodically forces a brief off period to  
allow CB to recharge.  
INTVCC/EXTVCC Power  
Power for the top and bottom MOSFET drivers and most  
oftheotherLTC1435circuitryisderivedfromtheINTVCC  
pin. The bottom MOSFET driver supply pin is internally  
connected to INTVCC in the LTC1435. When the EXTVCC  
pin is left open, an internal 5V low dropout regulator  
supplies INTVCC power. If EXTVCC is taken above 4.8V,  
the 5V regulator is turned off and an internal switch is  
turned on to connect EXTVCC to INTVCC. This allows the  
INTVCC power to be derived from a high efficiency  
external source such as the output of the regulator itself  
or a secondary winding, as described in the Applications  
Information section.  
The main control loop is shut down by pulling the RUN/SS  
pin low. Releasing RUN/SS allows an internal 3µA current  
source to charge soft start capacitor CSS. When CSS  
reaches 1.3V, the main control loop is enabled with the ITH  
voltage clamped at approximately 30% of its maximum  
value. As CSS continues to charge, ITH is gradually re-  
leased allowing normal operation to resume.  
Comparator OV guards against transient overshoots  
> 7.5% by turning off the top MOSFET and keeping it off  
until the fault is removed.

1, HighEfficiencyStep-DownConverter. Externalcompo-  
nent selection is driven by the load requirement and  
begins with the selection of RSENSE. Once RSENSE is  
known, COSC and L can be chosen. Next, the power  
MOSFETs and D1 are selected. Finally, CIN and COUT are  
selected. The circuit shown in Figure 1 can be configured  
for operation up to an input voltage of 28V (limited by the  
external MOSFETs).

RSENSE is chosen based on the required output current.  
TheLTC1435currentcomparatorhasamaximumthresh-  
old of 150mV/RSENSE and an input common mode range  
of SGND to INTVCC. The current comparator threshold  
sets the peak of the inductor current, yielding a maximum  
average output current IMAX equal to the peak value less  
half the peak-to-peak ripple current IL.

Considerations). The maximum recommended switching  
frequency is 400kHz.  
Inductor Value Calculation  
Allowing a margin for variations in the LTC1435 and  
external component values yields:  
The operating frequency and inductor selection are inter-  
related in that higher operating frequencies allow the use  
of smaller inductor and capacitor values. So why would  
anyone ever choose to operate at lower frequencies with  
larger components? The answer is efficiency. A higher  
frequency generally results in lower efficiency because of  
MOSFET gate charge losses. In addition to this basic  
trade-off, the effect of inductor value on ripple current and  
low current operation must also be considered.

The LTC1435 works well with values of RSENSE from

COSC Selection for Operating Frequency  
TheLTC1435 usesa constantfrequencyarchitecture with  
thefrequencydeterminedbyanexternaloscillatorcapaci-  
tor COSC. Each time the topside MOSFET turns on, the  
voltage COSC is reset to ground. During the on-time, COSC  
is charged by a fixed current. When the voltage on the  
capacitor reaches 1.19V, COSC is reset to ground. The  
process then repeats.

Accepting larger values of IL allows the use of low  
inductances, but results in higher output voltage ripple  
and greater core losses. A reasonable starting point for  
setting ripple current is IL = 0.4(IMAX). Remember, the  
maximum IL occurs at the maximum input voltage.

The peak-to-peak gate drive levels are set by the INTVCC

(VGS(TH) < 4V) may be used. Pay close attention to the

Ferrite designs have very low core loss and are preferred

core material saturates “hard,” which means that induc-  
tance collapses abruptly when the peak design current is  
exceeded. This results in an abrupt increase in inductor  
ripple current and consequent output voltage ripple. Do

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
INTVCC Regulator  
additional circuitry is required to derive INTVCC power  
from the output.  
An internal P-channel low dropout regulator produces the  
5V supply which powers the drivers and internal circuitry  
within the LTC1435. The INTVCC pin can supply up to  
15mA and must be bypassed to ground with a minimum  
of2.2µFtantalumorlowESRelectrolytic. Goodbypassing  
isnecessarytosupplythehightransientcurrentsrequired  
by the MOSFET gate drivers.  
The following list summarizes the four possible connec-  
tions for EXTVCC:  
1. EXTVCC left open (or grounded). This will cause INTVCC  
to be powered from the internal 5V regulator resulting  
in an efficiency penalty of up to 10% at high input  
voltages.  
High input voltage applications, in which large MOSFETs  
are being driven at high frequencies, may cause the  
maximum junction temperature rating for the LTC1435 to  
be exceeded. The IC supply current is dominated by the  
gate charge supply current when not using an output  
derived EXTVCC source. The gate charge is dependent on  
operatingfrequencyasdiscussedintheEfficiencyConsid-  
erations section. The junction temperature can be esti-  
mated by using the equations given in Note 1 of the  
Electrical Characteristics. For example, the LTC1435 is  
limited to less than 17mA from a 30V supply:  
2. EXTVCC connected directly to VOUT. This is the normal  
connection for a 5V regulator and provides the highest  
efficiency.  
3. EXTVCC connectedtoanoutput-derivedboostnetwork.  
For 3.3V and other low voltage regulators, efficiency  
gains can still be realized by connecting EXTVCC to an  
output-derived voltage which has been boosted to  
greater than 4.8V. This can be done with either the  
inductive boost winding as shown in Figure 4a or the  
capacitivechargepumpshowninFigure4b.Thecharge  
pump has the advantage of simple magnetics.

supply is available in the 5V to 10V range (EXTVCC  
VIN), it may be used to power EXTVCC providing it is  
compatible with the MOSFET gate drive requirements.  
When driving standard threshold MOSFETs, the exter-  
nal supply must always be present during operation to  
prevent MOSFET failure due to insufficient gate drive.  
EXTVCC Connection  
The LTC1435 contains an internal P-channel MOSFET  
switch connected between the EXTVCC and INTVCC pins.  
The switch closes and supplies the INTVCC power when-  
ever the EXTVCC pin is above 4.8V, and remains closed  
until EXTVCC drops below 4.5V. This allows the MOSFET  
driver and control power to be derived from the output  
during normal operation (4.8V < VOUT < 9V) and from the  
internal regulator when the output is out of regulation  
(start-up, short circuit). Do not apply greater than 10V to  
the EXTVCC pin and ensure that EXTVCC < VIN.

The switch node voltage SW rises to VIN and the Boost pin

An internal 3µA current source charges up an external

the LTC1435 begins operating. As the voltage on RUN/SS  
continues to ramp from 1.3V to 2.4V, the internal current  
limit is also ramped at a proportional linear rate. The  
current limit begins at approximately 50mV/RSENSE (at  
VRUN/SS = 1.3V) and ends at 150mV/RSENSE (VRUN/SS  
>
2.7V). The output current thus ramps up slowly, charging  
theoutputcapacitor.IfRUN/SShasbeenpulledalltheway

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Foldback Current Limiting  
Efficiency Considerations  
As described in Power MOSFET and D1 Selection, the  
worst-case dissipation for either MOSFET occurs with a  
short-circuited output, when the synchronous MOSFET  
conducts the current limit value almost continuously. In  
most applications this will not cause excessive heating,  
even for extended fault intervals. However, when heat  
sinking is at a premium or higher RDS(ON) MOSFETs are  
being used, foldback current limiting should be added to  
reducethecurrentinproportiontotheseverityofthefault.  
The efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to the  
output power divided by the input power times 100%. It is  
oftenusefultoanalyzeindividuallossestodeterminewhat  
is limiting the efficiency and which change would produce  
the most improvement. Efficiency can be expressed as:  
Efficiency = 100% – (L1 + L2 + L3 + ...)  
whereL1, L2, etc. aretheindividuallossesasapercentage  
of input power.  
Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce  
losses, four main sources usually account for most of the  
losses in LTC1435 circuits. LTC1435 VIN current, INTVCC  
current,I2Rlosses,andtopsideMOSFETtransitionlosses.  
Foldback current limiting is implemented by adding diode  
DFB between the output and the ITH pin as shown in the  
Functional Diagram. In a hard short (VOUT = 0V) the  
current will be reduced to approximately 25% of the  
maximum output current. This technique may be used for  
all applications with regulated output voltages of 1.8V or  
greater.  
1. The VIN current is the DC supply current given in the  
electricalcharacteristicswhichexcludesMOSFETdriver  
and control currents. VIN current results in a small  
(< 1%) loss which increases with VIN.  
SFB Pin Operation  
2. INTVCC current is the sum of the MOSFET driver and  
control currents. The MOSFET driver current results  
from switching the gate capacitance of the power  
MOSFETs. Each time a MOSFET gate is switched from  
low to high to low again, a packet of charge dQ moves  
from INTVCC to ground. The resulting dQ/dt is a current  
out of INT VCC which is typically much larger than the  
control circuit current. In continuous mode,  
IGATECHG = f(QT + QB), where QT and QB are the gate  
charges of the topside and bottom side MOSFETs.  
When the SFB pin drops below its ground referenced  
1.19V threshold, continuous mode operation is forced. In  
continuous mode, the large N-channel main and synchro-  
nous switches are used regardless of the load on the main  
output.  
In addition to providing a logic input to force continuous  
synchronous operation, the SFB pin provides a means to  
regulate a flyback winding output. Continuous synchro-  
nous operation allows power to be drawn from the auxil-  
iary windings without regard to the primary output load.  
The SFB pin provides a way to force continuous synchro-  
nous operation as needed by the flyback winding.  
By powering EXTVCC from an output-derived source,  
the additional VIN current resulting from the driver and  
control currents will be scaled by a factor of  
Duty Cycle/Efficiency. For example, in a 20V to 5V  
application, 10mA of INTVCC current results in approxi-  
mately3mAofVIN current. Thisreducesthemidcurrent  
loss from 10% or more (if the driver was powered  
directly from VIN) to only a few percent.

MOSFET and the synchronous MOSFET. If the two  
MOSFETs have approximately the same RDS(ON), then  
the resistance of one MOSFET can simply be summed  
with the resistances of L and RSENSE to obtain I2R  
losses. For example, if each RDS(ON) = 0.05,  
RL = 0.15, and RSENSE = 0.05, then the total  
resistance is 0.25. This results in losses ranging  
from 3% to 10% as the output current increases from  
0.5A to 2A. I2R losses cause the efficiency to drop at  
high output currents.  
Automotive Considerations:  
Plugging into the Cigarette Lighter  
As battery-powered devices go mobile, there is a natural  
interest in plugging into the cigarette lighter in order to  
conserveorevenrechargebatterypacksduringoperation.  
But before you connect, be advised: you are plugging into  
the supply from hell. The main battery line in an automo-  
bileisthesourceofanumberofnastypotentialtransients,  
including load dump, reverse battery and double battery.  
4. Transition losses apply only to the topside MOSFET(s),  
and only when operating at high input voltages (typi-  
cally 20V or greater). Transition losses can be esti-  
mated from:  
Transition Loss = 2.5 (VIN)1.85(IMAX)(CRSS)(f)  
Load dump is the result of a loose battery cable. When the  
cablebreaksconnection,thefieldcollapseinthealternator  
can cause a positive spike as high as 60V which takes  
several hundred milliseconds to decay. Reverse battery is  
just what it says, while double battery is a consequence of  
tow truck operators finding that a 24V jump start cranks  
cold engines faster than 12V.  
Other losses, including CIN and COUT ESR dissipative  
losses, Schottky conduction losses during dead-time,  
and inductor core losses, generally account for less  
than 2% total additional loss.  
Checking Transient Response  
The network shown in Figure 7 is the most straightfor-  
ward approach to protect a DC/DC converter from the  
ravages of an automotive battery line. The series diode  
prevents current from flowing during reverse battery,  
while the transient suppressor clamps the input voltage  
during load dump. Note that the transient suppressor  
should not conduct during double battery operation, but  
muststillclamptheinputvoltagebelowbreakdownofthe  
converter. Although the LT1435 has a maximum input  
voltage of 36V, most applications will be limited to 30V  
The regulator loop response can be checked by looking at  
the load transient response. Switching regulators take  
several cycles to respond to a step in DC (resistive) load  
current.Whenaloadstepoccurs,VOUT immediatelyshifts  
by an amount equal to (ILOAD)(ESR), where ESR is the  
effective series resistance of COUT. ILOAD also begins to  
charge or discharge COUT which generates a feedback  
error signal. The regulator loop then acts to return VOUT to  
its steady-state value. During this recovery time VOUT can  
be monitored for overshoot or ringing which would indi-  
cate a stability problem. The ITH external components  
shown in the Figure 1 circuit will provide adequate com-  
pensation for most applications.

A second, more severe transient is caused by switching in

RSENSE = 100mV/3A = 0.033Ω  
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following  
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of the  
LTC1435. These items are also illustrated graphically in  
the layout diagram of Figure 8. Check the following in your  
layout:  
COSC = 1.37(104)/250 – 11 = 43pF  
Referring to Figure 3, a 10µH inductor falls within the  
recommended range. To check the actual value of the  
ripple current the following equation is used:  
1. Are the signal and power grounds segregated? The  
LTC1435 signal ground pin must return to the (–) plate  
of COUT. The power ground connects to the source of  
the bottom N-channel MOSFET, anode of the Schottky  
diode, and (–) plate of CIN, which should have as short  
lead lengths as possible.

The highest value of the ripple current occurs at the  
maximum input voltage:

2. Does the VOSENSE pin connect directly to the feedback  
resistors? The resistive divider R1, R2 must be con-  
nectedbetweenthe(+)plateofCOUT andsignalground.  
The 100pF capacitor should be as close as possible to  
the LTC1435.  
3. AretheSENSEandSENSE+ leadsroutedtogetherwith  
minimum PC trace spacing? The filter capacitor be-  
tween SENSE+ and SENSEshould be as close as  
possible to the LTC1435.

The power dissipation on the topside MOSFET can be  
easily estimated. Choosing a Siliconix Si4412DY results  
in: RDS(ON) = 0.042, CRSS = 100pF. At maximum input  
voltage with T(estimated) = 50°C:

4. Does the (+) plate of CIN connect to the drain of the  
topsideMOSFET(s)ascloselyaspossible?Thiscapaci-  
tor provides the AC current to the MOSFET(s).  
The most stringent requirement for the synchronous  
N-channel MOSFET occurs when VOUT = 0 (i.e. short  
circuit). In this case the worst-case dissipation rises to:  
5. Is the INTVCC decoupling capacitor connected closely  
between INTVCC and the power ground pin? This ca-  
pacitor carries the MOSFET driver peak currents.

6. KeeptheswitchingnodeSWawayfromsensitivesmall-  
signal nodes. Ideally the switch node should be placed  
at the furthest point from the LTC1435.  
With the 0.033sense resistor ISC(AVG) = 4A will result,  
increasing the Si4412DY dissipation to 950mW at a die  
temperature of 105°C.  
7. SGND should be exclusively used for grounding exter-  
nal components on COSC, ITH, VOSENSE and SFB pins.  
CIN is chosen for an RMS current rating of at least 1.5A at  
temperature. COUT is chosen with an ESR of 0.03for low  
outputripple. Theoutputrippleincontinuousmodewillbe
