LTC3130/LTC3130-1  
25V, 600mA Buck-Boost  
DC/DC Converter with  
1.6µA Quiescent Current  
FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
The LTC3130/LTC3130-1 are high efficiency, low noise,  
600mA buck-boost converters with wide V and V  
ranges. For high efficiency operation at light loads,  
BurstModeoperationcanbeselected, reducingthequies-  
cent current to just 1.6µA. Converter start-up is achieved  
from sources as low as 7.5µW.

TheLTC3130/LTC3130-1employanultralownoise,1.2MHz  
PWM architecture that minimizes solution footprint by  
allowing the use of tiny, low profile inductors and ceramic  
capacitors. Built-in loop compensation and soft-start  
reduces external parts count and simplifies the design.  
FeaturesincludeanaccurateRUNcomparator thresholdto  
allow predictable regulator turn-on and a maximum power  
point control (MPPC) capability that ensures maximum  
power extraction from non-ideal sources such as photo-  
voltaic panels. The LTC3130-1 includes an internal voltage  
divider to provide four selectable fixed output voltages.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings  
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute  
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device  
reliability and lifetime.  
Note 3: Specification is guaranteed by design and not 100% tested in  
production.  
Note 4: Current measurements are made when the output is not switching.  
Note 5: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended  
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction  
temperature will exceed 165°C when overtemperature protection is active.  
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction  
temperature may result in device degradation or failure.  
Note 6: Failure to solder the exposed backside of the package to the PC  
board ground plane will result in a much higher thermal resistance.  
Note 2: The LTC3130/LTC3130-1 is tested under pulsed load conditions  
such that T ≈ T . The LTC3130E/LTC3130E-1 is guaranteed to meet  
J
A
specifications from 0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over  
the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by  
design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.  
The LTC3130I/LTC3130I-1 is guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C  
operating junction temperature range. The junction temperature (T ) is  
J
Note 7: Switching time measurements are made in an open-loop test  
calculated from the ambient temperature (T ) and power dissipation (P )  
A
D
configuration. Timing in the application may vary somewhat from these values due  
to differences in the switch pin voltage during non-overlap durations when switch  
pin voltage is influenced by the magnitude and duration of the inductor current.  
Note 8: Voltage transients on the switch pin(s) beyond the DC limits  
specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings are non-disruptive to normal  
operation when using good layout practices as described elsewhere in the  
data sheet and application notes and as seen on the product demo board.  
according to the formula:  
T = T + (P • θ °C/W),  
J

where θ is the package thermal impedance. Note that the maximum  
JA  
ambient temperature consistent with these specifications is determined by  
specific operating conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated  
thermal package thermal resistance and other environmental factors.

When powered through long leads or from a high ESR  
source, a larger bulk input capacitor (typically 47μF or  
larger) may be required.

OPERATION  
INTRODUCTION  
The LTC3130/LTC3130-1 also feature an accurate RUN  
comparator threshold with hysteresis, allowing the  
buck/boost DC/DC converter to turn on and off at user-  
The LTC3130/LTC3130-1 are 1.6µA quiescent current,  
monolithic, current mode, buck-boost DC/DC converters  
that can operate over a wide input voltage range of 0.6V  
(2.4V to start) to 25V and provide up to 600mA to the  
programmed V voltage thresholds. With a wide voltage

If the MODE pin is high (or if the load current on the con-  
verter is high enough to command PWM mode operation  
with MODE low), the LTC3130/LTC3130-1 operate in a  
fixed1.2MHzPWM modeusinganinternallycompensated  
averagecurrentmodecontrolloop.PWM modeminimizes  
output voltage ripple and yields a low noise switching  
frequency spectrum. A proprietary switching algorithm  
provides seamless transitions between operating modes  
and eliminates discontinuities in the average inductor

throughout all modes of operation. These advantages  
result in increased efficiency, improved loop stability and

complexity and maximize efficiency. A proprietary switch  
control algorithm allows the buck-boost converter to  
maintainoutputvoltageregulationwithinputvoltagesthat  
are above, below or equal to the output voltage. Transi-  
tions between the step-up or step-down operating modes  
are seamless and free of transients and sub-harmonic  
switching, making this product ideal for noise sensitive  
applications. The LTC3130/LTC3130-1 operate at a fixed  
nominal switching frequency of 1.2MHz, which provides  
an ideal trade-off between small solution size and high  
efficiency. Current mode control provides inherent input  
line voltage rejection, simplified compensation and rapid  
response to load transients.  
Burst Mode capability is included in the LTC3130/  
LTC3130-1 and is user-selected via the MODE pin. In  
Burst Mode operation, exceptional light-load efficiency is  
achieved by operating the converter only when necessary  
to maintain voltage regulation. The Burst Mode quiescent  
current is a miserly 1.6µA. When Burst Mode operation  
is selected, the converter automatically switches to fixed  
frequency PWM mode at higher loads. (Please refer to the  
Typical Performance Characteristic curves for the mode  
transition point at different input and output voltages.)  
If the application requires extremely low noise under all  
load conditions, continuous PWM operation can also be  
selected via the MODE pin by pulling it high.  
Figure 1 shows the topology of the power stage which is  
comprised of four N-channel DMOS switches and their  
associated gate drivers. In PWM mode operation both  
switch pins transition on every cycle independent of the  
input and output voltages. In response to the internal  
control loop command, an internal pulse width modulator  
generates the appropriate switch duty cycle to maintain  
regulation of the output voltage.

OPERATION  
When stepping down from a high input voltage to a lower  
output voltage, the converter operates in buck mode and  
switch D remains on for the entire switching cycle except  
fortheminimumswitchlowduration(typically70ns).Dur-  
ing the switch low duration, switch C is turned on which  
and the comparator outputs are used to control the duty  
cycle of the switch pins on a cycle-by-cycle basis.  
The voltage error amplifier makes adjustments to the cur-  
rentcommandasnecessarytomaintainV inregulation.

The voltage error amplifier therefore controls the outer  
voltage regulation loop. The average current amplifier  
makes adjustments to the inductor current as directed  
by the voltage error amplifier, and is commonly referred  
to as the inner current loop amplifier.  
forces SW2 low and charges the flying capacitor, C  
.
BST2  
This ensures that the switch D gate driver power supply  
rail on BST2 is maintained. The duty cycle of switches A  
and B are adjusted to maintain output voltage regulation  
in buck mode.  
The average current mode control technique is similar to  
peak current mode control except that the average current  
amplifier, by virtue of its configuration as an integrator,  
controls average current instead of the peak current. This  
difference eliminates the peak to average current error  
inherent to peak current mode control, while maintaining  
most of the advantages inherent to peak current mode  
control.  
If the input voltage is lower than the output voltage, the  
converter operates in boost mode. Switch A remains on  
for the entire switching cycle except for the minimum  
switch low duration (typically 70ns). During the switch  
low duration, switch B is turned on which forces SW1  
low and charges the flying capacitor, C  
. This ensures

Inductor Current Sense and Maximum Average  
Output Current  
As part of the current control loop required for current  
mode control, the LTC3130/LTC3130-1 include a pair  
of current sensing circuits that measure the buck-boost  
converter inductor current.  
Current Mode Control  
The LTC3130/LTC3130-1 utilizes average current mode  
control for the pulse width modulator. Current mode  
control, both average and the better known peak method,  
enjoy some benefits compared to other control methods  
including: simplified loop compensation, rapid response  
to load transients and inherent line voltage rejection.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
A standard application circuit for the LTC3130-1 is shown

other application examples for both the LTC3130-1 and

this data sheet.

efficiency. Larger values of inductance will also lower the  
right half plane (RHP) zero frequency when operating in  
boost mode, which can compromise loop stability. Nearly  
all LTC3130/LTC3130-1 application circuits deliver the  
best performance with an inductor value between 3.3µH  
The appropriate selection of external components is de-  
pendent upon the required performance of the IC in each  
particular application given considerations and trade-offs  
such as PCB area, input and output voltage range, output  
voltage ripple, transient response, required efficiency,  
thermal considerations and cost. This section of the data  
sheet provides some basic guidelines and considerations

To avoid the possibility of inductor saturation during load  
transients, an inductor with a saturation current rating  
of at least 1200mA is recommended for all applications  
(unless the ILIM pin of the LTC3130 is set low, in which  
case a 650mA rated inductor may be used).

Note that in boost mode, especially at large step-up ra-  
tios, the output current capability is often limited by the  
total resistive losses in the power stage. These losses  
include switch resistances, inductor DC resistance and  
PCB trace resistance. Avoid inductors with a high DC  
resistance (DCR) as they can degrade the maximum out-  
put current capability from what is shown in the Typical  
Performance Characteristics section and from the Typical

Recommended maximum inductor values and minimum  
output capacitor values, for different output voltage  
ranges are given in Table 3 as a guideline. These values  
were chosen to minimize inductor size while ensuring  
loop stability over the entire load range of the converter.  
As a guideline, the inductor DCR should be significantly  
less than the typical power switch resistance of 350mΩ.  
The only exceptions are applications that have a maxi-  
mum output current much less than what the LTC3130/  
LTC3130-1 are capable of delivering. Generally speaking,  
inductors with a DCR in the range of 0.05Ω to 0.15Ω are  
recommended. Lower values of DCR will improve the ef-  
ficiency at the expense of size, while higher DCR values  
will reduce efficiency (typically by a few percent) while  
allowing the use of a physically smaller inductor.

intended for power applications experience a significant  
loss in capacitance from their rated value as the DC bias  
voltage on the capacitor increases. It is not uncommon for  
a small surface mount capacitor to lose more than 50%  
of its rated capacitance when operated at even half of its  
maximum rated voltage. This effect is generally reduced  
as the case size is increased for the same nominal value

hysteresis) about a fixed voltage, as determined by the  
divider. This allows the high impedance source to oper-

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
For example, a 3.6V battery with a capacity of 2600mA-Hr  
(2.6A-Hr) could power the IC continuously in fixed  
frequency mode for ~433 hours (only about 18 days).  
However, if the IC is in Burst Mode operation at light load,  
the battery life time will be extended, possibly by orders  
of magnitude (depending on the load) since the current  
demand when the IC is sleeping will be only 1.6µA typical.  
In shutdown, the current draw will be only 0.5µA typical.

Thermal Considerations  
ofOhmsormore),theLTC3130/LTC3130-1maystilldraw  
The power switches of the LTC3130/LTC3130-1 are de-  
signed to operate continuously with currents up to the  
internalcurrentlimitthresholds.However,whenoperating  
at high current levels, there may be significant heat gener-  
ated within the IC. As a result, careful consideration must  
be given to the thermal environment of the IC in order to  
provide a means to remove heat from the IC and ensure  
thattheLTC3130/LTC3130-1isabletoprovideitsfull-rated  
output current. Specifically, the exposed die attach pad  
of both the QFN and MSE packages must be soldered to  
a copper layer on the PCB to maximize the conduction of  
heat out of the IC package. This can be accomplished by  
utilizing multiple vias from the die attach pad connection  
underneaththeICpackagetootherPCBlayer(s)containing  
a large copper plane. A typical board layout incorporating  
these concepts in show in Figure 7.  
more current than the source can provide, causing V to  
IN  
drop below the UVLO threshold. For these applications,  
it is recommended that the programmable RUN feature  
be used, as described in a previous section.  
MPPC Compensation and Gain  
When using MPPC, there are a number of variables that  
affect the gain and phase of the input voltage control loop.  
Primarilythesearetheinputcapacitance,theMPPCresistor  
divider ratio and the V source resistance. To simplify the  
IN  
design of the application circuit, the MPPC control loop  
in the LTC3130/LTC3130-1 is designed with a relatively  
low gain, such that external MPPC loop compensation is  
generally not required when using a V capacitor of at  
IN  
least 22µF.  
The gain from the MPPC pin to the internal control voltage  
is about ten, and the gain of the internal control voltage  
to average inductor current is about one. Therefore, a  
change of 60mV a the MPPC pin will result in a change of  
average inductor current of about 600mA, which is close  
to the full current capability of the IC. So the programmed  
input voltage will be maintained within about 6% over the  
full current range of the IC (which may be more than that  
required by the load).  
As described elsewhere in this data sheet, the EXTV  
CC  
pin may be used to reduce the V power dissipation  
CC  
term significantly in high V applications, lowering die  
IN  
temperature and improving efficiency.  
If the IC die temperature exceeds approximately 165°C,  
overtemperatureshutdownwillbeinvokedandallswitching  
will be inhibited. The part will remain disabled until the die  
temperature cools by approximately 10°C. The soft-start  
circuit is re-initialized in overtemperature shutdown to  
provide a smooth recovery when the IC die temperature  
cools enough to resume operation.
