FEATURES  
DESCRIPTIO  
The LTC®1701/LTC1701B are the industry’s first SOT-23  
step-down,currentmode,DC/DCconverters.Intendedfor  
lowtomediumpowerapplications,theyoperatefrom2.5V  
to 5.5V input voltage range and switch at 1MHz, allowing  
the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and inductors 2mm or  
less in height. The output voltage is adjustable from 1.25V  
to 5V. A built-in 0.28switch allows up to 0.5A of output  
current at high efficiency. OPTI-LOOPTM compensation  
allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide  
range of loads and output capacitors.

The LTC1701 incorporates automatic power saving Burst  
ModeTM operation to reduce gate charge losses when the  
load current drops below the level required for continuous  
operation. The LTC1701B operates continuously to very  
low load currents to provide low ripple at the expense of  
lightloadefficiency.Withnoload,theLTC1701drawsonly

.
The output voltage is set by an external divider returned to  
theVFB pin. Anerroramplfiercomparesthedividedoutput  
voltage with a reference voltage of 1.25V and adjusts the  
peak inductor current accordingly.  
Low Current Operation  
To optimize efficiency when the load is relatively light, the  
LTC1701 automatically switches to Burst Modeoperation  
in which the internal PMOS switch operates intermittently  
based on load demand. The main control loop is inter-  
rupted when the output voltage reaches the desired regu-  
lated value. The hysteretic voltage comparator trips when  
ITH/RUN is below 1.5V, shutting off the switch and reduc-  
ing the power consumed. The output capacitor and the  
inductor supply the power to the load until the output  
voltage drops slightly and the ITH/RUN pin exceeds 1.5V,  
turning on the switch and the main control loop which  
starts another cycle.  
Main Control Loop  
During normal operation, the internal PMOS switch is  
turned on when the VFB voltage is below the reference  
voltage. The current into the inductor and the load in-  
creases until the current limit is reached. The switch turns  
off and energy stored in the inductor flows through the  
external Schottky diode into the load. After the constant  
off-timeinterval,theswitchturnsonandthecyclerepeats.  
The peak inductor current is controlled by the voltage on  
the ITH/RUN pin, which is the output of the error  
amplifier.This amplifier compares the VFB pin to the 1.25V  
reference. Whentheloadcurrentincreases, theFBvoltage  
decreases slightly below the reference. This decrease  
causes the error amplifier to increase the ITH/RUN voltage  
until the average inductor current matches the new load  
current.  
For reduced output ripple, the LTC1701B doesn't use  
Burst Mode operation and operates continuously down to  
very low currents where the part starts skipping cycles.  
Dropout Operation  
Indropout, theinternalPMOSswitchisturnedoncontinu-  
ously (100% duty cycle) providing low dropout operation  
with VOUT at VIN. Since the LTC1701 does not incorporate  
an under voltage lockout, care should be taken to shut  
down the LTC1701 for VIN < 2.5V.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO  
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 = 0.4A.  
Catch Diode Selection  
The diode D1 shown in Figure 1 conducts during the off-  
time. It is important to adequately specify the diode peak  
current and average power dissipation so as not to exceed  
the diode ratings.  
The inductor value also has an effect on low current  
operation. Lower inductor values (higher IL) will cause  
Burst Mode operation to begin at higher 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 de-  
crease.  
Losses in the catch diode depend on forward drop and  
switching times. Therefore, Schottky diodes are a good  
choice for low drop and fast switching times.  
Since the catch diode carries the load current during the  
off-time, the average diode current is dependent on the  
switch duty cycle. At high input voltages, the diode con-  
ducts most of the time. As VIN approaches VOUT, the diode  
conducts only a small fraction of the time. The most  
stressful condition for the diode is when the regulator  
output is shorted to ground.  
Inductor Core Selection  
Once the value for L is selected, the type of inductor must  
be chosen. Basically, there are two kinds of losses in an  
inductor —core and copper losses.  
Under short-circuit conditions (VOUT = 0V), the diode  
must safely handle ISC(PK) at close to 100% duty cycle.  
Under normal load conditions, the average current con-  
ducted by the diode is simply:  
Core losses are dependent on the peak-to-peak ripple  
current and core material. However, it is independent of  
the physical size of the core. By increasing inductance, the  
peak-to-peak inductor ripple current will decrease, there-  
fore reducing core loss. Unfortunately, increased induc-  
tance requires more turns of wire and, therefore, copper  
losses will increase.

Remember to keep lead lengths short and observe proper  
grounding (see Board Layout Considerations) to avoid  
ringing and increased dissipation.  
Highefficiencyconvertersgenerallycannotaffordthecore  
loss found in low cost powdered iron cores, forcing the  
use of more expensive ferrite, molypermalloy or Kool Mµ®  
cores. Ferrite designs have very low core loss and are  
preferred at high switching frequencies. Ferrite core ma-  
terial saturates “hard,” which means that inductance col-  
lapses abruptly when the peak design current is exceeded.

Molypermalloy (from Magnetics, Inc.) is a very good, low

ferrite. A reasonable compromise from the same manu-  
facturer is Kool Mµcore material. Toroids are very space  
efficient, expecially when you can use several layers of  
wire. Because they generally lack a bobbin, mounting is  
more difficult. However, surface mount designs that do  
not increase the height significantly are available  
Most LTC1701 circuits will be well served by either an  
MBR0520L or an MBRM120L. An MBR0520L is a good  
choice for IOUT(MAX) 500mA, as long as the output  
doesn’t need to sustain a continuous short.

Input Capacitor (CIN) Selection  
When the capacitance of COUT is made too small, the  
outputrippleatlowfrequencieswillbelargeenoughtotrip  
the ITH comparator. This causes Burst Mode operation to  
be activated when the LTC1701 would normally be in  
continuousmodeoperation. Theeffectcanbeimprovedat  
higher frequencies with lower inductor values.  
In continuous mode, the input current of the converter is  
a square wave with a duty cycle of approximately VOUT  
VIN. To prevent large voltage transients, a low equivalent  
series resistance (ESR) input capacitor sized for the maxi-  
mum RMS current must be used. The maximum RMS  
capacitor current is given by:  
/
In surface mount applications, multiple capacitors may  
have to be paralleled to meet the capacitance, ESR or RMS  
current handling requirement of the application. Alumi-  
num electrolyte and dry tantulum capacitors are both  
available in surface mount configurations. In the case of  
tantalum, it is critical that the capacitors are surge tested  
for use in switching power supplies. An excellent choice is  
the AVX TPS, AVX TPSV and KEMET T510 series of  
surfacemounttantalums, avalableincaseheightsranging

where the maximum average output current IMAX equals  
the peak current (1 Amp) minus half the peak-to-peak  
ripple current, IMAX = 1 – IL/2.  
This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where IRMS  
= IOUT/2. This simple worst-case is commonly used to  
design because even significant deviations do not offer  
much relief. Note that capacitor manufacturer’s ripple  
current ratings are often based on only 2000 hours life-  
time. This makes it advisable to further derate the capaci-  
tor, or choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature  
thanrequired. Severalcapacitorsmayalsobeparalleledto  
meet the size or height requirements of the design. An  
additional 0.1µF to 1µF ceramic capacitor is also recom-  
mended on VIN for high frequency decoupling.  
Ceramic Capacitors  
Higher value, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now  
becomingavailableinsmallercasesizes.Thesearetempt-  
ing for switching regulator use because of their very low  
ESR. Unfortunately, the ESR is so low that it can cause  
loop stability problems. Solid tantalum capacitor ESR  
generatesaloopzeroat5kHzto50kHzthatisinstrumen-  
tal in giving acceptable loop phase margin. Ceramic ca-  
pacitors remain capacitive to beyond 300kHz and usually  
resonate with their ESL before ESR becomes effective.  
Also, ceramic caps are prone to temperature effects which  
requires the designer to check loop stability over the  
operating temperature range.  
Output Capacitor (COUT) Selection  
The selection of COUT is driven by the required ESR.  
Typically, once the ESR requirement is satisfied, the  
capacitance is adequate for filtering. The output ripple  
(VOUT) is determined by:  
For these reasons, most of the input and output capaci-  
tance should be composed of tantalum capacitors for  
stability combined with about 0.1µF to 1µF of ceramic  
capacitorsforhighfrequencydecoupling. Greatcaremust

Figure 2. The output voltage is set by a resistive divider  
according to the following formula:  
of 20% to 100% of full-load current having a rise time of  
1µs to 10µs will produce output voltage and ITH pin  
waveforms that will give a sense of the overall loop  
stability without breaking the feedback loop.  
V
OUT = 1.25V(1 + R2/R1)  
To prevent stray pickup, a capacitor of about 5pF can be  
added across R1, located close to the LTC1701. Unfortu-  
nately, the load step response is degraded by this capaci-  
tor. Using a good printed circuit board layout eliminates  
the need for this capacitor. Great care should be taken to  
route the VFB line away from noise sources, such as the  
inductor or the SW line.  
The initial output voltage step may not be within the  
bandwidth of the feedback loop, so the standard second-  
order overshoot/DC ratio cannot be used to determine  
phase margin. The gain of the loop increases with R3 and  
the bandwidth of the loop increases with decreasing C3. If  
R3 is increased by the same factor that C3 is decreased,  
the zero frequency will be kept the same, thereby keeping  
the phase the same in the most critical frequency range of  
the feedback loop. In addition, a feed-forward capacitor,  
CF, can be added to improve the high frequency response,  
as shown in Figure 2. Capacitor CF provides phase lead by

The output voltage settling behavior is related to the  
stability of the closed-loop system and will demonstrate  
the actual overall supply performance. For a detailed  
explanation of optimizing the compensation components,  
including a review of control loop theory, refer to Applica-  
tion Note 76.  
Figure 2. Setting the Output Voltage  
Transient Response  
The OPTI-LOOP compensation allows the transient re-  
sponse to be optimized for a wide range of loads and  
output capacitors. The availability of the ITH pin not only  
allows optimization of the control loop behavior but also  
provides a DC coupled and AC filtered closed-loop re-  
sponsetestpoint.TheDCstep,risetimeandsettlingatthis  
test point truly reflects the closed-loop response. Assum-  
ing a predominately second order system, phase margin  
and/ordampingfactorcanbeestimatedusingthepercent-  
age of overshoot seen at this pin. The bandwidth can also  
be estimated by examining the rise time at the pin.  
RUN Function  
The ITH/RUN pin is a dual purpose pin that provides the  
loopcompensationandameanstoshutdowntheLTC1701.  
Soft-startcanalsobeimplementedwiththispin.Soft-start  
reduces surge currents from VIN by gradually increasing  
theinternalpeakinductorcurrent. Powersupplysequenc-  
ing can also be accomplished using this pin.  
An external pull-up is required to charge the external  
capacitor C3 in Figure 1. Typically, a 1M resistor between  
The ITH external components shown in the Figure 1 circuit  
will provide an adequate starting point for most applica-  
tions. The series R3-C3 filter sets the dominant pole-zero  
loop compensation. The values can be modified slightly  
(from 0.5 to 2 times their suggested values) to optimize  
transient response once the final PC layout is done and the  
particular output capacitor type and value have been  
determined. The output capacitors need to be selected  
because the various types and values determine the loop  
feedback factor gain and phrase. An output current pulse  
V
IN and ITH/RUN is used. When the voltage on ITH/RUN  
reaches about 0.8V the LTC1701 begins operating. At this  
point the error amplifier pulls up the ITH/RUN pin to the  
normal operating range of 1.25V to 2.25V.  
Soft-start can be implemented by ramping the voltage on  
ITH/RUN during start-up as shown in Figure 3(b). As the  
voltage on ITH/RUN ramps through its operating range the  
internal peak current limit is also ramped at a proportional  
linear rate.

During normal operation the voltage on the ITH/RUN pin  
will vary from 1.25V to 2.25V depending on the load  
current. Pulling the ITH/RUN pin below 0.8V puts the  
LTC1701 into a low quiescent current shutdown mode  
(IQ < 1µA). This pin can be driven directly from logic as  
shown in Figures 3(a).  
continuous mode, IGATECHG = f • QP, where QP is the gate  
charge of the internal MOSFET switch.  
3) I2R Losses are predicted from the DC resistances of the  
MOSFET and inductor. In continuous mode the average  
output current flows through L, but is “chopped” between  
the topside internal MOSFET and the Schottky diode. At  
low supply voltages where the switch on-resistance is  
higher and the switch is on for longer periods due to the  
higher duty cycle, the switch losses will dominate. Using  
a larger inductance helps minimize these switch losses. At  
high supply voltages, these losses are proportional to the  
load. I2R losses cause the efficiency to drop at high output  
currents.

4) The Schottky diode is a major source of power loss at  
high currents and gets worse at low output voltages. The  
diode loss is calculated by multiplying the forward voltage  
drop times the diode duty cycle multiplied by the load  
current.  
Efficiency Considerations  
The percent efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to  
the output power divided by the input power times 100%.  
It is often useful to analyze individual losses to determine  
what is limiting the efficiency and what change would  
produce the most improvement. Percent efficiency can be  
expressed as:  
Other “hidden” losses such as copper trace and internal  
battery resistances can account for additional efficiency  
degradations in portable systems. It is very important to  
include these “system” level losses in the design of a  
system. The internal battery and fuse resistance losses  
can be minimized by making sure that CIN has adequate  
charge storage and very low ESR at the switching fre-  
quency.OtherlossesincludingSchottkyconductionlosses  
during dead-time and inductor core losses generally ac-  
count for less than 2% total additional loss.  
%Efficiency = 100% – (L1 + L2 + L3 + ...)  
whereL1, L2, etc. aretheindividuallossesasapercentage  
of input power.  
Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce  
losses, 4 main sources usually account for most of the  
losses in LTC1701 circuits: 1) LTC1701 VIN current,  
2) switching losses, 3) I2R losses, 4) Schottky diode  
losses.  
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS  
The power handling capability of the device at high ambi-  
ent temperatures will be limited by the maximum rated  
junction temperature (125°C). It is important to give  
careful consideration to all sources of thermal resistance  
fromjunctiontoambient.Additionalheatsourcesmounted  
nearby must also be considered.  
1) The VIN current is the DC supply current given in the  
electrical characteristics which excludes MOSFET driver  
andcontrolcurrents.VIN currentresultsinasmall(<0.1%)  
loss that increases with VIN, even at no load.  
2)TheswitchingcurrentisthesumoftheinternalMOSFET  
driver and control currents. The MOSFET driver current  
results from switching the gate capacitance of the power  
MOSFET. Each time a MOSFET gate is switched from low  
tohightolowagain, apacketofchargedQmovesfromVIN  
to ground. The resulting dQ/dt is a current out of VIN that  
is typically much larger than the control circuit current. In  
For surface mount devices, heat sinking is accomplished  
by using the heat spreading capabilities of the PC board  
and its copper traces. Copper board stiffeners and plated  
through-holes can also be used to spread the heat gener-  
ated by power devices.

different board sizes and copper areas. All measurements  
were taken in still air on 3/32" FR-4 board with one ounce  
copper.  
Remembering that the above junction temperature is ob-  
tained from a R at 25°C, we might recalculate the  
DS(ON)  
junction temperature based on a higher R  
since it

sume that the actual junction temperature will not exceed  
the absolute maximum junction temperature of 125°C.

In a majority of applications, the LTC1701 does not dissi-

applications where the switching regulator is running at  
high duty cycles or the part is in dropout with the switch  
turned on continuously (DC), some thermal analysis is  
required. The goal of the thermal analysis is to determine  
whether the power dissipated by the regulator exceeds the
