FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®1627 is a monolithic current mode synchronous
buck regulator using a fixed frequency architecture. The
operating supply range is from 8.5V down to 2.65V, making
it suitable for one or two lithium-ion battery-powered appli-
cations. Burst Mode operation provides high efficiency at
low load currents. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout
operation, which extends operating time in battery-operated
systems.

PIN FUNCTIONS
ITH (Pin 1): Error Amplifier Compensation Point. The
current comparator threshold increases with this control
voltage. Nominal voltage range for this pin is 0V to 1.2V.
VIN (Pin 6): Main Supply Pin. Must be closely decoupled
to GND, Pin 4.
VDR (Pin 7): Top Driver Return Pin. This pin can be
bootstrapped to go below ground to improve efficiency at
low VIN (see Applications Information).
RUN/SS (Pin 2): Combination of Soft-Start and Run
Control Inputs. A capacitor to ground at this pin sets the
ramptimetofullcurrentoutput. Thetimeisapproximately
0.5s/µF. Forcing this pin below 0.4V shuts down all the
circuitry.
SYNC/FCB (Pin 8): Multifunction Pin. This pin performs
three functions: 1) secondary winding feedback input, 2)
external clock synchronization and 3) Burst Mode opera-
tion or forced continuous mode select. For secondary
winding applications connect a resistive divider from the
secondary output. To synchronize with an external clock
apply a TTL/CMOS compatible clock with a frequency
between385kHzand525kHz. ToselectBurstModeopera-
tion, float the pin or tie it to VIN. Grounding Pin 8 forces
continuous operation (see Applications Information).
VFB (Pin 3): Feedback Pin. Receives the feedback voltage
from an external resistive divider across the output.
GND (Pin 4): Ground Pin.
SW (Pin 5): Switch Node Connection to Inductor. This pin
connects to the drains of the internal main and synchro-
nous power MOSFET switches.

OPERATIO
(Refer to Functional Diagram)
Main Control Loop
output load exceeds 100mA. The threshold voltage be-
tween Burst Mode operation and forced continuous mode
is 0.8V. This can be used to assist in secondary winding
regulationasdescribedinAuxiliaryWindingControlUsing
SYNC/FCB Pin in the Applications Information section.
The LTC1627 uses a constant frequency, current mode
step-down architecture. Both the main and synchronous
switches, consisting of top P-channel and bottom
N-channel power MOSFETs, are internal. During normal
operation, the internal top power MOSFET is turned on
each cycle when the oscillator sets the RS latch, and
turned off when the current comparator, ICOMP, resets the
RS latch. The peak inductor current at which ICOMP resets
the RS latch is controlled by the voltage on the ITH pin,
which is the output of error amplifier EA. The VFB pin,
described in the Pin Functions section, allows EA to
receive an output feedback voltage from an external resis-
tive divider. When the load current increases, it causes a
slight decrease in the feedback voltage relative to the 0.8V
reference, which, in turn, causes the ITH voltage to in-
crease 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 the current reversal
comparator IRCMP, or the beginning of the next cycle.
When the converter is in Burst Mode operation, the peak
current of the inductor is set to approximately 200mA,
even though the voltage at the ITH pin indicates a lower
value. The voltage at the ITH pin drops when the inductor’s
average current is greater than the load requirement. As
theITH voltagedropsbelow0.12V, theBURSTcomparator
trips, causing the internal sleep line to go high and turn off
both power MOSFETs.
In sleep mode, both power MOSFETs are held off and the
internal circuitry is partially turned off, reducing the quies-
cent current to 200µA. The load current is now being
supplied from the output capacitor. When the output
voltage drops, causing ITH to rise above 0.22V, the top
MOSFET is again turned on and this process repeats.
Short-Circuit Protection
The main control loop is shut down by pulling the RUN/SS
pin low. Releasing RUN/SS allows an internal 2.25µA
current source to charge soft-start capacitor CSS. When
CSS reaches0.7V,themaincontrolloopisenabledwiththe
Whentheoutputisshortedtoground, thefrequencyofthe
oscillator is reduced to about 35kHz, 1/10 the nominal
frequency. This frequency foldback ensures that the
inductor current has more time to decay, thereby prevent-
ing runaway. The oscillator’s frequency will progressively
increase to 350kHz (or the synchronized frequency) when
I
TH voltage clamped at approximately 5% of its maximum
value. As CSS continues to charge, ITH is gradually
released, allowing normal operation to resume.
V
FB rises above 0.3V.
Comparator OVDET guards against transient overshoots
>7.5% by turning the main switch off and turning the
synchronous switch on. With the synchronous switch
turned on, the output is crowbarred. This may cause a
large amount of current to flow from VIN if the main switch
is damaged, blowing the system fuse.
Frequency Synchronization
The LTC1627 can be synchronized with an external
TTL/CMOS compatible clock signal. The frequency range
of this signal must be from 385kHz to 525kHz. Do not
attempt to synchronize the LTC1627 below 385kHz as this
may cause abnormal operation and an undesired fre-
quency spectrum. The top MOSFET turn-on follows the
rising edge of the external source.
Burst Mode Operation
The LTC1627 is capable of Burst Mode operation in which
the internal power MOSFETs operate intermittently based
on load demand. To enable Burst Mode operation, simply
allow the SYNC/FCB pin to float or connect it to a logic
high. To disable Burst Mode operation and enable forced
continuous mode, connect the SYNC/FCB pin to GND. In
this mode, the efficiency is lowest at light loads, but
becomes comparable to Burst Mode operation when the
When the LTC1627 is clocked by an external source, Burst
Mode operation is disabled; the LTC1627 then operates in
PWM pulse skipping mode. In this mode, when the output
loadisverylow,currentcomparatorICOMP remainstripped
for more than one cycle and forces the main switch to stay
off for the same number of cycles. Increasing the output

Dropout Operation
Figure 2. Using a Charge Pump to Bias VDR
When the input supply voltage decreases toward the out-
put voltage, the duty cycle increases toward the maximum
on-time. Further reduction of the supply voltage forces the
main switch to remain on for more than one cycle until it
reaches 100% duty cycle. The output voltage will then be
determined by the input voltage minus the voltage drop
across the P-channel MOSFET and the inductor.
the charge pump at VIN ≥ 4.5V is not recommended to
ensure that (VIN – VDR) does not exceed its absolute
maximum voltage.
When VIN decreases to a voltage close to VOUT, the loop
may enter dropout and attempt to turn on the P-channel
MOSFET continuously. When the VDR charge pump is
enabled, a dropout detector counts the number of oscilla-
tor cycles that the P-channel MOSFET remains on, and
periodically forces a brief off period to allow C1 to
recharge.100%dutycycleisallowedwhenVDR isgrounded.

inductance selected. As inductance increases, core losses
go down. Unfortunately, increased inductance requires
more turns of wire and therefore copper losses will
increase.
frequency. The actual reduction in average current is less
than for peak current.
The basic LTC1627 application circuit is shown in Figure
1. External component selection is driven by the load
requirementandbeginswiththeselectionofLfollowedby
CIN and COUT.
Ferritedesignshaveverylowcorelossesandarepreferred
at high switching frequencies, so design goals can con-
centrate on copper loss and preventing saturation. Ferrite
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
not allow the core to saturate!
Inductor Value Calculation
The inductor selection will depend on the operating fre-
quency of the LTC1627. The internal preset frequency is
350kHz, but can be externally synchronized up to 525kHz.
The operating frequency and inductor selection are inter-
related in that higher operating frequencies allow the use
of smaller inductor and capacitor values. However, oper-
ating at a higher frequency generally results in lower
efficiency because of internal gate charge losses.
Kool Mµ (from Magnetics, Inc.) is a very good, low loss
corematerialfortoroidswitha“soft”saturationcharacter-
istic. Molypermalloy is slightly more efficient at high
(>200kHz) switching frequencies but quite a bit more
expensive. Toroids are very space efficient, especially
when you can use several layers of wire, while inductors
wound on bobbins are generally easier to surface mount.
New designs for surface mount are available from
Coiltronics, Coilcraft and Sumida.

CIN and COUT Selection
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).
Incontinuousmode,thesourcecurrentofthetopMOSFET
is a square wave of duty cycle VOUT/VIN. To prevent large
voltage transients, a low ESR input capacitor sized for the
maximum RMS current must be used. The maximum
RMS capacitor current is given by:
The inductor value also has an effect on Burst Mode
operation. The transition to low current operation begins
when the inductor current peaks fall to approximately
200mA. Lower inductor values (higher ∆IL) will cause this
to occur at lower load currents, which can cause a dip in
efficiency in the upper range of low current operation. In
Burst Mode operation, lower inductance values will cause
the burst frequency to increase.

Run/Soft-Start Function
The RUN/SS pin is a dual purpose pin that provides the
soft-startfunctionandameanstoshutdowntheLTC1627.
Soft-start reduces surge currents from VIN by gradually
increasing the internal current limit. Power supply
sequencing can also be accomplished using this pin.
C
OUT required ESR < 0.25Ω
Manufacturers such as Nichicon, United Chemicon and
Sanyoshouldbeconsideredforhighperformancethrough-
hole capacitors. The OS-CON semiconductor dielectric
capacitor available from Sanyo has the lowest ESR/size
ratio of any aluminum electrolytic at a somewhat higher
price. Once the ESR requirement for COUT has been met,
the RMS current rating generally far exceeds the
IRIPPLE(P-P) requirement.
An internal 2.25µA current source charges up an external
capacitor CSS. When the voltage on RUN/SS reaches 0.7V
the LTC1627 begins operating. As the voltage on RUN/SS
continues to ramp from 0.7V to 1.8V, the internal current
limit is also ramped at a proportional linear rate. The
current limit begins at 25mA (at VRUN/SS ≤ 0.7V) and ends
at the Figure 3 value (VRUN/SS ≈ 1.8V). The output current
thus ramps up slowly, charging the output capacitor. If
RUN/SS has been pulled all the way to ground, there will
be a delay before the current starts increasing and is given
by:
In surface mount applications multiple capacitors may
have to be paralleled to meet the ESR or RMS current
handling requirements of the application. Aluminum elec-
trolytic and dry tantalum capacitors are both available in
surfacemountconfigurations. Inthecaseoftantalum, itis
critical that the capacitors are surge tested for use in
switching power supplies. An excellent choice is the AVX
TPS series of surface mount tantalum, available in case
heights ranging from 2mm to 4mm. Other capacitor types
include Sanyo POSCAP, KEMET T510 and T495 series,
Nichicon PL series and Sprague 593D and 595D series.

Auxiliary Winding Control Using SYNC/FCB Pin
whereL1, L2, etc. aretheindividuallossesasapercentage
of input power.
The SYNC/FCB pin can be used as a secondary feedback
input to provide a means of regulating a flyback winding
output. When this pin drops below its ground referenced
0.8V threshold, continuous mode operation is forced. In
continuous mode, the main and synchronous MOSFETs
are switched continuously regardless of the load on the
main output.
Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce
losses, two main sources usually account for most of the
losses in LTC1627 circuits: VIN quiescent current and I2R
losses.
1. The VIN quiescent current is due to two components:
the DC bias current as given in the electrical character-
istics and the internal main switch and synchronous
switch gate charge currents. The gate charge current
results from switching the gate capacitance of the
internal power MOSFET switches. Each time the gate is
switched from high to low to high again, a packet of
charge dQ moves from VIN to ground. The resulting
dQ/dt is the current out of VIN that is typically larger
thantheDCbiascurrent. Incontinuousmode, IGATECHG
= f(QT + QB) where QT and QB are the gate charges of
the internal top and bottom switches. Both the DC bias
and gate charge losses are proportional to VIN and thus
their effects will be more pronounced at higher supply
voltages.
2. I2R losses are calculated from the resistances of the
internal switches RSW and external inductor RL. In
continuous mode the average output current flowing
through inductor L is “chopped” between the main
switch and the synchronous switch. Thus, the series
resistance looking into SW pin from L is a function of
both top and bottom MOSFET RDS(ON) and the duty
cycle (DC) as follows:
Synchronous switching removes the normal limitation
that power must be drawn from the inductor primary
winding in order to extract power from auxiliary windings.
With continuous synchronous operation power can be
drawn from the auxiliary windings without regard to the
primary output load.

current.

Efficiency Considerations
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:
Other losses including CIN and COUT ESR dissipative losses,
MOSFETswitchinglossesandinductorcorelossesgenerally
account for less than 2% total additional loss.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Checking Transient Response
the load rise time is limited to approximately (25 • CLOAD).
Thus, a 10µF capacitor would require a 250µs rise time,
limiting the charging current to about 130mA.
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 load current. When
a load step occurs, VOUT immediately shifts by an amount
equal to (∆ILOAD • ESR), where ESR is the effective series
resistance of COUT. ∆ILOAD also begins to charge or dis-
chargeCOUT, whichgeneratesafeedbackerrorsignal. The
regulator loop then acts to return VOUT to its steady-state
value.DuringthisrecoverytimeVOUT canbemonitoredfor
overshoot or ringing that would indicate a stability prob-
lem. The internal compensation provides adequate com-
pensationformostapplications. Butifadditionalcompen-
sation is required, the ITH pin can be used for external
compensation as shown in Figure 7.
PC Board Layout Checklist
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of the
LTC1627. These items are also illustrated graphically in
the layout diagram of Figure 7. Check the following in your
layout:
1. Are the signal and power grounds segregated? The
LTC1627 signal ground consists of the resistive
divider, the optional compensation network (RC and
CC1), CSS and CC2. The power ground consists of the
(–) plate of CIN, the (–) plate of COUT and Pin 4 of the
LTC1627. The power ground traces should be kept
short, direct and wide. The signal ground and power
ground should converge to a common node in a star-
ground configuration.
A second, more severe transient is caused by switching in
loads with large (>1µF) supply bypass capacitors. The
dischargedbypasscapacitorsareeffectivelyputinparallel
with COUT, causing a rapid drop in VOUT. No regulator can
deliver enough current to prevent this problem if the load
switch resistance is low and it is driven quickly. The only
solution is to limit the rise time of the switch drive so that
2. Does the VFB pin connect directly to the feedback
resistors? The resistive divider R1/R2 must be con-
nectedbetweenthe(+)plateofCOUT andsignalground.

Design Example
CIN will require an RMS current rating of at least 0.25A at
temperature and COUT will require an ESR of less than
0.25Ω. In most applications, the requirements for these
capacitors are fairly similar.
As a design example, assume the LTC1627 is used in a
singlelithium-ionbattery-poweredcellularphoneapplica-
tion. The VIN will be operating from a maximum of 4.2V
down to about 2.7V. The load current requirement is a
maximumof0.5Abutmostofthetimeitwillbeonstandby

load currents is important. Output voltage is 2.5V. With
