FEATURES  
DESCRIPTIO  
The LTC®3408 is a high efficiency monolithic synchro-  
nous buck regulator optimized for WCDMA power ampli-  
fier applications. The output voltage can be dynamically  
programmed from 0.3V to 3.5V. At VOUT > 3.6V an internal  
0.08bypass P-channel MOSFET connects VOUT directly  
to VIN, eliminating power loss through the inductor.

High Efficiency: Up to 96%  
1.5MHz Constant Frequency Operation  
No Schottky Diode Required  
Low Dropout Operation: 100% Duty Cycle  
2.5V to 5V Input Voltage Range  
Shutdown Mode Draws <1µA Supply Current  
Current Mode Operation for Excellent Line and  
Load Transient Response  
Overtemperature Protected  
Available in 8-Lead 3mm × 3mm DFN Package  
P-Channel MOSFET Bypass  
The input voltage range is 2.5V to 5V making the LTC3408  
ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered applica-  
tions. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation,  
extending battery life in portable systems.  
Switching frequency is internally set at 1.5MHz, allowing  
the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors.  
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency and  
eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode.

The output voltage can be dynamically programmed from  
0.3V to 3.5V using theREF input. Because the gain toVOUT  
from REF is internally set to 3, the corresponding input  
range at REF is 0.1V to 1.167V. VOUT can be modulated  
during operation by driving REF with an external DAC.

Figure 1. Typical Application  
Main Control Loop  
TheLTC3408usesaconstantfrequency,currentmodestep-  
down architecture. The main (P-channel MOSFET), syn-  
chronous (N-channel MOSFET) and bypass (P-channel  
MOSFET) switches are internal. During normal operation,  
the internal main switch is turned on each cycle when the  
oscillator sets the RS latch, and turned off when the cur-  
rent comparator, ICOMP, resets the RS latch. The peak in-  
ductor current at which ICOMP resets the RS latch, is con-  
trolled by the output of error amplifier EA. When the load  
current increases, it causes a slight decrease in the feed-  
back voltage, FB, relative to the external reference, which  
inturn,causestheEAamplifier’soutputvoltagetoincrease  
untiltheaverageinductorcurrentmatchesthenewloadcur-  
rent. While the main switch is off, the synchronous switch  
is turned on until the beginning of the next clock cycle.  
WhenREFexceeds1.2V,a0.08internalbypassP-channel  
MOSFET connects VIN to VOUT, dramatically reducing the  
drop across the inductor and the main switch.  
Short-Circuit Protection  
A current sense comparator monitors the current across  
the bypass P-channel MOSFET with a trip current of about  
2.5A. When this current is exceeded during a VOUT short  
to ground, the bypass P-channel MOSFET is immediately  
turned off. The propagation delay of the current sensing  
comparator, IBCMP, detecting an overcurrent condition to  
turningoffthebypassP-channelMOSFETisapproxmately  
100ns.OncethebypassP-channelMOSFETisoffforabout  
10µs to 20µs, it is allowed to turn back on. The initial  
current limit is then lowered to about 1.6A after the first  
current limit trip. If the short to ground persists, the cur-  
The LTC3408 operates in forced continuous mode where  
the inductor current is constantly cycled. In this mode, the  
rent comparator will trip at the lower current limit, turning

but less than VIN/3, the bypass P-channel MOSFET will be

and lowest voltage drop from VIN to VOUT, always ensure  
that the REF voltage is greater than both 1.2V and VIN/3.  
offandonthebypassP-channelMOSFETwithafrequency  
of approximately 50kHz to 100kHz at 1.6A peak current.  
This will continue until the short is removed. While the  
bypass P-channel MOSFET is pulsing intermittently, the  
inherent current limit of the step-down regulator limits its  
peak current to about 1A.  
An important detail to remember is that at low input  
supply voltages, the RDS(ON) of the P-channel switch  
increases (see Typical Performance Characteristics).  
Therefore, the user should calculate the power dissipa-  
tion when the LTC3408 is used at 100% duty cycle with  
low input voltage (See Thermal Considerations in the  
Applications Information section).  
Dropout Operation  
If the reference voltage would cause VOUT to exceed VIN,  
the LTC3408 enters dropout operation. During dropout,  
the main switch remains on continuously and operates at  
100%dutycycle. IfthevoltageatREFislessthan1.2V, the  
bypass P-channel MOSFET will stay off even in dropout  
operation. The output voltage is then determined by the  
inputvoltageminusthevoltagedropacrossthemainswitch  
and the inductor. If the voltage at REF is greater than 1.2V,  
Low Supply Operation  
The LTC3408 will operate with input supply voltages as  
low as 2.5V, but the maximum allowable output current is

Slope compensation provides stability in constant fre-  
quency architectures by preventing subharmonic oscilla-  
tions at high duty cycles. It is accomplished internally by  
adding a compensating ramp to the inductor current  
signal at duty cycles in excess of 40%. Normally, this  
results in a reduction of maximum inductor peak current  
for duty cycles >40%. However, the LTC3408 uses a  
patent-pending scheme that counteracts this compensat-  
ing ramp, which allows the maximum inductor peak  
current to remain unaffected throughout all duty cycles.

currents. As Equation 1 shows, a greater difference be-  
tween VIN and VOUT produces a larger ripple current.  
Where these voltages are subject to change, the highest  
VIN and lowest VOUT will determine the maximum ripple  
current. A reasonable starting point for setting ripple

For most applications, the value of the inductor will fall in

The selection of COUT is driven by the required effective

higher is the voltage spike at the input. For best results,  
ramp the REF pin from high to low as slow as the  
application will allow. Avoid abrupt changes in voltage of  
>0.2V/µs. If ramp control is unavailable, an RC filter with

Higher values, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now  
becoming available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple  
current, high voltage rating and low ESR make them ideal  
for switching regulator applications. Because the  
LTC3408’s control loop does not depend on the output  
capacitor’s ESR for stable operation, ceramic capacitors  
can be used freely to achieve very low output ripple and  
small circuit size.

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:  
However, care must be taken when ceramic capacitors are  
usedattheinputandtheoutput.Whenaceramiccapacitor  
is used at the input and the power is supplied by a wall  
adapter through long wires, a load step at the output can  
induce ringing at the input, VIN. At best, this ringing can  
couple to the output and be mistaken as loop instability. At  
worst, a sudden inrush of current through the long wires  
can potentially cause a voltage spike at VIN large enough  
to damage the part.  
Efficiency = 100% – (L1 + L2 + L3 + ...)  
whereL1, L2, etc. aretheindividuallossesasapercentage  
of input power.  
Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce  
losses, two main sources usually account for most of the  
losses in LTC3408 circuits: VIN quiescent current and I2R  
losses. The VIN quiescent current loss dominates the effi-  
ciencylossatlowloadcurrentswhereastheI2Rlossdomi-  
nates the efficiency loss at medium to high load currents.  
In a typical efficiency plot, the efficiency curve at low load  
currents can be misleading since the actual power lost is  
of little consequence as illustrated in Figure 4.  
When choosing the input and output ceramic capacitors,  
choose the X5R or X7R dielectric formulations. These  
dielectrics have the best temperature and voltage charac-  
teristics of all the ceramics for a given value and size.  
Ceramic capacitors of Y5V material are not recommended  
because normal operating voltages cause their bulk ca-  
pacitance to become much less than the nominal value.

To prevent the LTC3408 from exceeding the maximum

where PD is the power dissipated by the regulator and θJA  
is the thermal resistance from the junction of the die to the  
ambient temperature.  
Figure 4. Power Lost vs Load Current  
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,  
thus, their effects will be more pronounced at higher  
supply voltages. (The gate charge of the bypass FET is,  
of course, negligible because it is infrequently cycled.)  
2. I2R losses are calculated from the resistances of the  
internal switches, RSW, and external inductor RL. In con-  
tinuousmode, theaverageoutputcurrentflowingthrough  
inductor L is “chopped” between the main switch and the  
synchronous switch. Thus, the series resistance looking  
into the SW pin is a function of both top and bottom  
MOSFET RDS(ON) and the duty cycle (DC) as follows:  
The junction temperature, TJ, is given by:  
TJ = TA + TR  
where TA is the ambient temperature.  
As an example, consider the LTC3408 in dropout at an  
inputvoltageof2.7V,aloadcurrentof600mA(0.9VVREF  
< 1.2V) and an ambient temperature of 70°C. With VREF  
<
1.2V, the entire 600mA flows through the main P-channel  
FET. From the typical performance graph of switch resis-  
tance, the RDS(ON) of the P-channel switch at 70°C is  
approximately 0.52. Therefore, power dissipated by the  
part is:  
RSW = (RDS(ON)TOP)(DC) + (RDS(ON)BOT)(1 – DC)  
PD = (ILOAD2) • RDS(ON) = 187.2mW  
The RDS(ON) for both the top and bottom MOSFETs can be  
obtained from the Typical Performance Charateristics  
curves. Hence, to obtain I2R losses, simply add RSW to RL  
and multiply the result by the square of the average output  
current.  
For the 8L DFN package, the θJA is 43°C/W. Thus, the  
junction temperature of the regulator is:  
TJ = 70°C + (0.1872)(43) = 78°C  
which is below the maximum junction temperature of  
125°C.  
Other losses including CIN and COUT ESR dissipative  
losses and inductor core losses generally account for less  
than 2% total additional loss.  
Modifying this example, suppose that VREF is raised to  
1.2V or higher. This turns on the bypass P-channel FET as  
wellasthemainP-channelFET.Assumethattheinductor’s  
DC resistance is 0.1, the RDS(ON) of the main P-channel  
switch is 0.52, and the RDS(ON) of the bypass P-channel  
switchis0.08.ThecurrentthroughtheP-channelswitch  
and the inductor will be 69mA, causing power dissipation  
of (0.069A)2 • 0.62= 2.9mW. The bypass FET will  
Thermal Considerations  
In most applications the LTC3408 does not dissipate  
much heat due to its high efficiency. But, in applications  
where the LTC3408 is running at high ambient tempera-  
ture with low supply voltage and high duty cycles, such as  
in dropout, the heat dissipated may exceed the maximum

dissipate (0.531A)2 • 0.08= 22.6mW. Thus, TJ = 70°C +  
(0.0143 + 0.0425)(43) = 71.1°C.  
PC Board Layout Checklist  
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following  
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of the  
LTC3408. These items are also illustrated graphically in  
Figures 5 and 6. Check the following in your layout:  
Reductions in power dissipation occur at higher supply  
voltages, where the junction temperature is lower due to  
reduced switch resistance (RDS(ON)).  
1. The power traces, consisting of the GND trace, the SW  
traceandtheVIN traceshouldbekeptshort,directandwide.  
Checking Transient Response  
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. For a detailed explanation of switching control loop  
theory, see Application Note 76.  
2. Does the (+) plate of CIN connect to VIN as closely as  
possible? This capacitor provides the AC drive to the  
internal power MOSFETs.  
3. Keep the (–) plates of CIN and COUT as close as possible.  
Design Example  
As a design example, assume the LTC3408 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  
maximum of 0.6A but most of the time it will be in standby  
mode, requiring only 2mA. Efficiency at both low and high  
load currents is important. Output voltage is 2.5V. With  
this information we can calculate L using Equation (1),  
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  
the load rise time is limited to approximately (25 • CLOAD).  
Thus, a 10µF capacitor charging to 3.3V would require a  
250µs rise time, limiting the charging current to about  
130mA.
