DESCRIPTIO  
The LTC®1874 is a dual constant frequency current mode  
step-downDC/DCcontrollerwithexcellentACandDCload  
and line regulation. Each controller has an accurate  
undervoltage lockout that shuts down the individual con-  
troller when the input voltage falls below 2.0V.

High Output Currents Easily Achieved  
Wide VIN Range: 2.5V to 9.8V  
Constant Frequency 550kHz Operation  
Burst ModeTM Operation at Light Load  
Low Dropout: 100% Duty Cycle  
0.8V Reference Allows Low Output Voltages  
Current Mode Operation for Excellent  
Line and Load Transient Response  
Low Quiescent Current: 270µA (Each Controller)  
Separate Shutdown Pin for Each Controller  
Shutdown Mode Draws Only  
8µA Supply Current (Each Controller)  
±2.5% Reference Accuracy  
The LTC1874 boasts ±2.5% output voltage accuracy and  
consumes only 270µA of quiescent current per controller.  
The LTC1874 is configured with Burst Mode operation,  
which enhances efficiency at low output current for appli-  
cations where efficiency is a prime consideration.  
To further maximize the life of a battery source, each  
external P-channel MOSFET is turned on continuously in  
dropout(100%dutycycle). Inshutdown, eachcontroller  
draws a mere 8µA. High constant operating frequency of  
550kHz allows the use of small external inductors.

high, turning off the external MOSFET. The sleep signal  
goes low when the ITH/RUN voltage goes above 0.925V  
and the controller resumes normal operation. The next  
oscillator cycle will turn the external MOSFET on and the  
switching cycle repeats.  
The LTC1874 is a dual, constant frequency current mode  
switching regulator. The two switching regulators func-  
tionidenticallybutindependentofeachother.Thefollow-  
ing description of operation is written for a single  
switching regulator.  
Dropout Operation  
Main Control Loop  
When the input supply voltage decreases towards the  
output voltage, the rate of change of inductor current  
during the ON cycle decreases. This reduction means that  
the external P-channel MOSFET will remain on for more  
thanoneoscillatorcyclesincetheinductorcurrenthasnot  
ramped up to the threshold set by EAMP. Further reduc-  
tion in input supply voltage will eventually cause the  
P-channel MOSFET to be turned on 100%, i.e., DC. The  
outputvoltagewillthenbedeterminedbytheinputvoltage  
minus the voltage drop across the MOSFET, the sense  
resistor and the inductor.  
During normal operation, the external P-channel power  
MOSFET is turned on by the oscillator and turned off when  
the current comparator (ICMP) resets the RS latch. The  
peak inductor current at which ICMP resets the RS latch is  
controlled by the voltage on the ITH/RUN pin, which is the  
output of the error amplifier EAMP. An external resistive  
divider connected between VOUT and ground allows the  
EAMPtoreceiveanoutputfeedbackvoltageVFB.Whenthe  
load current increases, it causes a slight decrease in VFB  
relative to the 0.8V reference, which in turn causes the  
ITH/RUN voltage to increase until the average inductor  
current matches the new load current.  
Undervoltage Lockout  
ThemaincontrolloopisshutdownbypullingtheITH/RUN  
pin low. Releasing ITH/RUN allows an internal 0.5µA  
current source to charge up the external compensation  
network. When the ITH/RUN pin reaches 0.35V, the main  
control loop is enabled with the ITH/RUN voltage then  
pulled up to its zero current level of approximately 0.7V.  
Astheexternalcompensationnetworkcontinuestocharge  
up, the corresponding output current trip level follows,  
allowing normal operation.  
TopreventoperationoftheP-channelMOSFETbelowsafe  
input voltage levels, an undervoltage lockout is incorpo-  
rated into the controller. When the input supply voltage  
drops below approximately 2.0V, the P-channel MOSFET  
and all circuitry is turned off except the undervoltage  
block, which draws only several microamperes.  
Short-Circuit Protection  
Whentheoutputisshortedtoground, thefrequencyofthe  
oscillator will be reduced to about 120kHz. This lower  
frequency allows the inductor current to safely discharge,  
thereby preventing current runaway. The oscillator’s fre-  
quency will gradually increase to its designed rate when  
the feedback voltage again approaches 0.8V.  
Comparator OVP guards against transient overshoots  
greater than 7.5% by turning off the external P-channel  
power MOSFET and keeping it off until the fault is  
removed  
.
Burst Mode Operation  
The controller enters Burst Mode operation at low load  
currents. In this mode, the peak current of the inductor is  
set as if VITH/RUN = 1V (at low duty cycles) even though  
the voltage at the ITH/RUN pin is at a lower value. If the  
inductor’saveragecurrentisgreaterthantheloadrequire-  
ment, the voltage at the ITH/RUN pin will drop. When the  
ITH/RUN voltage goes below 0.85V, the sleep signal goes  
Overvoltage Protection  
As a further protection, the overvoltage comparator in the  
controller will turn the external MOSFET off when the  
feedback voltage has risen 7.5% above the reference  
voltage of 0.8V. This comparator has a typical hysteresis  
of 20mV.

The basic LTC1874 application circuit is shown in  
Figure 1. External component selection for each control-  
ler is driven by the load requirement and begins with the

MOSFET (M1) and the output diode (D1) are selected  
followed by CIN and COUT (= C1).

RSENSE Selection for Output Current  
Inductor Value Calculation  
RSENSE is chosen based on the required output current.  
Withthecurrentcomparatormonitoringthevoltagedevel-  
oped across RSENSE, the threshold of the comparator  
determines the inductor’s peak current. The output cur-  
rent the controller can provide is given by:  
The operating frequency and inductor selection are inter-  
related in that higher operating frequencies permit the use  
of a smaller inductor for the same amount of inductor  
ripplecurrent. However, thisisattheexpenseofefficiency

The main selection criteria for the power MOSFET are the  
In Burst Mode operation on an LTC1874 controller, the  
ripple current is normally set such that the inductor  
current is continuous during the burst periods. Therefore,  
the peak-to-peak ripple current must not exceed:  
threshold voltage VGS(TH), the “on” resistance RDS(ON),  
reverse transfer capacitance CRSS and total gate charge.  
Since the controller is designed for operation down to low  
input voltages, a logic level threshold MOSFET (RDS(ON)  
guaranteed at VGS = 2.5V) is required for applications that  
workclosetothisvoltage.WhentheseMOSFETsareused,  
make sure that the input supply to the controller is less  
than the absolute maximum VGS rating, typically 8V.

temperature curve, but δp = 0.005/°C can be used as an  
approximation for low voltage MOSFETs.  
Inductor Core Selection  
Once the value of inductor is known, an off the shelf  
inductor can be selected. The inductor should be rated for  
the calculated peak current. Some manufacturers specify  
both peak saturation current and peak RMS current. Make  
sure that the RMS current meets your continuous load  
requirements. Also, you may want to compare the DC  
resistance of different inductors in order to optimize the  
efficiency.  
In applications where the maximum duty cycle is less than  
100% and the controller is in continuous mode, the  
RDS(ON) is governed by:

Inductor core losses are usually not specified and you will  
need to evaluate them yourself. Usually, the core losses  
are not a problem because the inductors operate with  
relatively low magnetic flux swings. The best way to  
evaluate the core losses is by measuring the converters  
efficiency. Converter efficiency will reveal the difference in  
both DC current losses and core losses.  
where DC is the maximum operating duty cycle of the  
controller.  
Output Diode Selection  
The catch diode carries load current during the off-time.  
The average diode current is therefore dependent on the  
MOSFET duty cycle. At high input voltages the diode  
conducts 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 output is

short-circuited.Underthisconditionthediodemustsafely  
handle IPEAK at close to 100% duty cycle. Therefore, it is  
importanttoadequatelyspecifythediodepeakcurrentand  
average power dissipation so as not to exceed the diode  
ratings.  
This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where IRMS  
= IOUT/2. This simple worst-case condition is commonly  
usedfordesignbecauseevensignificantdeviationsdonot  
offer much relief. Several capacitors may be paralleled to  
meet the size or height requirements in the design. Due to  
the high operating frequency of the controller, ceramic  
capacitors can also be used for CIN. Always consult the  
manufacturer if there is any question.  
Under normal load conditions, the average current con-  
ducted by the diode is:  
The selection of COUT is driven by the required effective  
series resistance (ESR). Typically, once the ESR require-  
ment is satisfied, the capacitance is adequate for filtering.  
The output ripple (VOUT) is approximated by:  
V VOUT  
V + VD  
IN  
IN  
ID =  
IOUT  
The allowable forward voltage drop in the diode is calcu-  
lated from the maximum short-circuit current as:  
1
VOUT IRIPPLE ESR +  
PD  
VF ≈  
4fCOUT  
ISC(MAX)  
where f is the operating frequency, COUT is the output  
capacitance and IRIPPLE is the ripple current in the induc-  
tor. The output ripple is highest at maximum input voltage  
since IL increases with input voltage.  
where PD is the allowable power dissipation and will be  
determined by efficiency and/or thermal requirements.  
Schottky diodes are a good choice for low forward drop  
and fast switching times. Remember to keep lead length  
short and observe proper grounding (see Board Layout  
Checklist) to avoid ringing and increased dissipation.  
Once the ESR requirement for COUT has been met, the  
RMS current rating generally far exceeds the IRIPPLE(P-P)  
requirement. Multiple capacitors may have to be paral-  
leled to meet the ESR or RMS current handling require-  
ments of the application. Aluminum electrolytic and dry  
tantalum capacitors are both available in surface mount  
configurations. Anexcellentchoiceoftantalumcapacitors  
are the AVX TPS and KEMET T510 series of surface mount  
tantalum capacitors.  
CIN and COUT Selection  
In continuous mode, the source current of the P-channel  
MOSFET is a square wave of duty cycle (VOUT + VD)/  
(VIN + VD). To prevent large voltage transients, a low ESR  
input capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current must  
beused. ThemaximumRMScapacitorcurrentisgivenby:

Although the controller can function down to approxi-

reducedwhenVIN decreasesbelow3V. Figure3showsthe  
amount of change as the supply is reduced down to 2V.

The controller develops a 0.8V reference voltage between  
the feedback (VFB) terminal and ground (see Figure 4). By  
selecting resistor R1, a constant current is caused to flow  
through R1 and R2 to set the overall output voltage. The  
regulated output voltage is determined by:

Foldback Current Limiting  
Figure 4. Setting Output Voltage  
As described in the Output Diode Selection, the worst-  
case dissipation occurs with a short-circuited output  
when the diode conducts the current limit value almost  
continuously. To prevent excessive heating in the diode,  
foldback current limiting can be added to reduce the  
current in proportion to the severity of the fault.

Foldback current limiting is implemented by adding di-

pin as shown in Figure 5. In a hard short (VOUT = 0V), the

5. Is the trace from SENSEto the SENSE resistor kept  
short? Does the trace connect close to RSENSE  
?
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following  
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of the  
LTC1874. These items are illustrated graphically for a  
single controller in the layout diagram in Figure 6. Check  
the following in your layout:  
6. Keep the switching node PGATE away from sensitive  
small signal nodes.  
7. Does the VFB pin connect directly to the feedback  
resistors? The resistive divider R1 and R2 must be  
connected between the (+) plate of COUT and signal  
ground.  
1. IstheSchottkydiodecloselyconnectedbetweenpower  
ground (PGND) and the drain of the external MOSFET?  
2. Does the (+) plate of CIN connect to the sense resistor  
as closely as possible? This capacitor provides AC  
current to the MOSFET.  
8. PVIN must connect to VIN and PGND must connect to  
GND. Isolate high current power paths from signal  
power and signal ground where possible in the layout.  
An unbroken ground plane is recommended.  
3. Is the input decoupling capacitor (0.1µF) connected  
closely between VIN and signal ground (GND)?  
4. Connect the end of RSENSE as close to VIN as possible.  
The VIN pin is the SENSE+ of the current comparator.
