FEATURES  
DESCRIPTIO  
Small 10-Lead MSOP or DFN Package  
The LTC®3411 is a constant frequency, synchronous,  
step- down DC/DC converter. Intended for medium power  
applications,itoperatesfroma2.63Vto5.5Vinputvoltage  
range and has a user configurable operating frequency up  
to 4MHz, allowing the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and  
inductors 2mm or less in height. The output voltage is  
adjustable from 0.8V to 5V. Internal sychronous 0.11Ω  
power switches with 1.6A peak current ratings provide  
high efficiency. The LTC3411’s current mode architecture  
and external compensation allow the transient response  
to be optimized over a wide range of loads and output  
capacitors.

SHDN/RT (Pin 1): Combination Shutdown and Timing  
Resistor Pin. The oscillator frequency is programmed by  
connecting a resistor from this pin to ground. Forcing this  
pin to SVIN causes the device to be shut down. In shut-  
down all functions are disabled.  
PGND (Pin 5): Main Power Ground Pin. Connect to the  
(–) terminal of COUT, and (–) terminal of CIN.  
PVIN (Pin 6): Main Supply Pin. Must be closely decoupled  
to PGND.  
SVIN (Pin 7): The Signal Power Pin. All active circuitry is  
powered from this pin. Must be closely decoupled to  
SGND. SVIN must be greater than or equal to PVIN.  
SYNC/MODE (Pin 2): Combination Mode Selection and  
Oscillator Synchronization Pin. This pin controls the op-  
eration of the device. When tied to SVIN or SGND, Burst  
Mode operation or pulse skipping mode is selected, re-  
spectively. If this pin is held at half of SVIN, the forced  
continuous mode is selected. The oscillation frequency  
can be syncronized to an external oscillator applied to this  
pin. When synchronized to an external clock pulse skip  
mode is selected.  
PGOOD (Pin 8): The Power Good Pin. This common drain  
logic output is pulled to SGND when the output voltage is  
not within ±7.5% of regulation.  
VFB (Pin 9): Receives the feedback voltage from the  
external resistive divider across the output. Nominal volt-  
age for this pin is 0.8V.  
SGND (Pin 3): The Signal Ground Pin. All small signal  
components and compensation components should be  
connected to this ground (see Board Layout Consider-  
ations).  
ITH (Pin 10): Error Amplifier Compensation Point. The  
current comparator threshold increases with this control  
voltage. Nominal voltage range for this pin is 0V to 1.5V.  
SW (Pin 4): The Switch Node Connection to the Inductor.  
This pin swings from PVIN to PGND.

LTC3411  
U
OPERATIO  
The LTC3411 uses a constant frequency, current mode  
architecture. The operating frequency is determined by  
the value of the RT resistor or can be synchronized to an  
external oscillator. To suit a variety of applications, the  
selectable Mode pin, allows the user to trade-off noise for  
efficiency.  
To optimize efficiency, the Burst Mode operation can be  
selected. When the load is relatively light, the LTC3411  
automaticallyswitchesintoBurstModeoperationinwhich  
the PMOS switch operates intermittently based on load  
demand. By running cycles periodically, the switching  
losses which are dominated by the gate charge losses of  
thepowerMOSFETsareminimized. Themaincontrolloop  
is interrupted when the output voltage reaches the desired  
regulated value. The hysteretic voltage comparator B trips  
when ITH is below 0.24V, shutting off the switch and  
reducingthepower. Theoutputcapacitorandtheinductor  
supply the power to the load until ITH/RUN exceeds 0.31V,  
turning on the switch and the main control loop which  
starts another cycle.  
The output voltage is set by an external divider returned to  
theVFB pin. Anerroramplfiercomparesthedividedoutput  
voltage with a reference voltage of 0.8V and adjusts the  
peak inductor current accordingly. Overvoltage and  
undervoltage comparators will pull the PGOOD output low  
if the output voltage is not within ±7.5%.  
Main Control Loop  
For lower output voltage ripple at low currents, pulse  
skipping mode can be used. In this mode, the LTC3411  
continues to switch at a constant frequency down to very  
lowcurrents,whereitwilleventuallybeginskippingpulses.  
Duringnormaloperation,thetoppowerswitch(P-channel  
MOSFET) is turned on at the beginning of a clock cycle  
when the VFB voltage is below the the reference voltage.  
The current into the inductor and the load increases until  
the current limit is reached. The switch turns off and  
energy stored in the inductor flows through the bottom  
switch (N-channel MOSFET) into the load until the next  
clock cycle.  
Finally, in forced continuous mode, the inductor current is  
constantly cycled which creates a fixed output voltage  
ripple at all output current levels. This feature is desirable  
in telecommunications since the noise is at a constant  
frequency and is thus easy to filter out. Another advantage  
of this mode is that the regulator is capable of both  
sourcing current into a load and sinking some current  
from the output.  
The peak inductor current is controlled by the voltage on  
the ITH pin, which is the output of the error amplifier.This  
amplifier compares the VFB pin to the 0.8V reference.  
When the load current increases, the VFB voltage de-  
creasesslightlybelowthereference.Thisdecreasecauses  
the error amplifier to increase the ITH voltage until the  
average inductor current matches the new load current.  
Dropout Operation  
When the input supply voltage decreases toward the  
output voltage, the duty cycle increases to 100% which is  
the dropout condition. In dropout, the PMOS switch is  
turned on continuously with the output voltage being  
equal to the input voltage minus the voltage drops across  
the internal P-channel MOSFET and the inductor.  
ThemaincontrolloopisshutdownbypullingtheSHDN/RT  
pin to SVIN. A digital soft-start is enabled after shutdown,  
which will slowly ramp the peak inductor current up over  
1024 clock cycles or until the output reaches regulation,  
whicheverisfirst.Soft-startcanbelengthenedbyramping  
the voltage on the ITH pin (see Applications Information  
section).  
Low Supply Operation  
TheLTC3411incorporatesanundervoltagelockoutcircuit  
which shuts down the part when the input voltage drops  
below about 2.5V to prevent unstable operation.  
Low Current Operation  
Three modes are available to control the operation of the  
LTC3411 at low currents. All three modes automatically  
switch from continuous operation to to the selected mode  
when the load current is low.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO  
A general LTC3411 application circuit is shown in  
Figure 5. External component selection is driven by the  
load requirement, and begins with the selection of the  
inductor L1. Once L1 is chosen, CIN and COUT can be  
selected.  
A reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is  
IL = 0.3ILIM, whereILIM isthepeakswitchcurrentlimit.  
The largest ripple current IL occurs at the maximum  
input voltage. To guarantee that the ripple current stays  
below a specified maximum, the inductor value should be  
chosen according to the following equation:  
Operating Frequency  
VOUT  
fOIL  
VOUT  
VIN(MAX)  
Selection of the operating frequency is a tradeoff between  
efficiency and component size. High frequency operation  
allows the use of smaller inductor and capacitor values.  
Operation at lower frequencies improves efficiency by  
reducing internal gate charge losses but requires larger

The inductor value will also have an effect on Burst Mode

Catch Diode Selection  
Although unnecessary in most applications, a small im-  
provement in efficiency can be obtained in a few applica-  
tionsbyincludingtheoptionaldiodeD1showninFigure 5,  
which conducts when the synchronous switch is off.  
When using Burst Mode operation or pulse skip mode, the  
synchronous switch is turned off at a low current and the  
remaining current will be carried by the optional diode. It  
is important to adequately specify the diode peak current  
and average power dissipation so as not to exceed the  
diode ratings. The main problem with Schottky diodes is  
that their parasitic capacitance reduces the efficiency,  
usually negating the possible benefits for LTC3411 cir-  
cuits. Another problem that a Schottky diode can intro-  
duceishigherleakagecurrentathightemperatures,which  
could reduce the low current efficiency.  
Output Capacitor (COUT) Selection  
The selection of COUT is driven by the required ESR to  
minimizevoltagerippleandloadsteptransients.Typically,  
once the ESR requirement is satisfied, the capacitance is  
adequate for filtering. The output ripple (VOUT) is deter-  
mined by:

VOUT ≈ ∆IL ESR +  
8fOCOUT  
Remember to keep lead lengths short and observe proper  
grounding (see Board Layout Considerations) to avoid  
ringing and increased dissipation when using a catch  
diode.  
where f = operating frequency, COUT = output capacitance  
and IL = ripple current in the inductor. The output ripple  
is highest at maximum input voltage since IL increases  
with input voltage. With IL = 0.3 • ILIM the output ripple  
will be less than 100mV at maximum VIN and fO = 1MHz

Once the ESR requirements for COUT have been met, the  
RMS current rating generally far exceeds the IRIPPLE(P-P)  
requirement, except for an all ceramic solution.  
pacitors remain capacitive to beyond 300kHz and ususally  
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. To minimize their large  
temperature and voltage coefficients, only X5R or X7R  
ceramic capacitors should be used. A good selection of  
ceramiccapacitorsisavailablefromTaiyoYuden,TDKand

In surface mount applications, multiple capacitors may  
havetobeparalleledtomeetthecapacitance, ESRorRMS  
current handling requirement of the application. Alumi-  
numelectrolytic,specialpolymer,ceramicanddrytantulum  
capacitors are all available in surface mount packages.  
The OS-CON semiconductor dielectric capacitor available  
from Sanyo has the lowest ESR(size) product of any  
aluminumelectrolyticatasomewhathigherprice. Special  
polymer capacitors, such as Sanyo POSCAP, offer very  
low ESR, but have a lower capacitance density than other  
types. Tantalum capacitors have the highest capacitance  
density, but it has a larger ESR and it is critical that the  
capacitors are surge tested for use in switching power  
supplies. An excellent choice is the AVX TPS series of  
surface mount tantalums, avalable in case heights rang-  
ing from 2mm to 4mm. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors  
have a significantly larger ESR, and is often used in  
extremely cost-sensitive applications provided that con-  
sideration is given to ripple current ratings and long term  
reliability. Ceramic capacitors have the lowest ESR and  
cost but also have the lowest capacitance density, a high  
voltage and temperature coefficient and exhibit audible  
piezoelectric effects. In addition, the high Q of ceramic  
capacitors along with trace inductance can lead to signifi-  
cant ringing. Other capacitor types include the Panasonic  
specialty polymer (SP) capacitors.  
Great care must be taken when using only ceramic input  
and output capacitors. When a ceramic capacitor is used  
at the input and the power is being supplied through long  
wires,suchasfromawalladapter,aloadstepattheoutput  
can induce ringing at the VIN pin. At best, this ringing can  
couple to the output and be mistaken as loop instability. At  
worst, the ringing at the input can be large enough to  
damage the part.  
Since the ESR of a ceramic capacitor is so low, the input  
and output capacitor must instead fulfill a charge storage  
requirement.Duringaloadstep,theoutputcapacitormust  
instantaneously supply the current to support the load  
untilthefeedbackloopraisestheswitchcurrentenoughto  
support the load. The time required for the feedback loop  
to respond is dependent on the compensation compo-  
nentsandtheoutputcapacitorsize. Typically, 3to4cycles  
are required to respond to a load step, but only in the first  
cycle does the output drop linearly. The output droop,  
VDROOP, is usually about 2 to 3 times the linear drop of the  
first cycle. Thus, a good place to start is with the output  
capacitor size of approximately:  
In most cases, 0.1µF to 1µF of ceramic capacitors should  
also be placed close to the LTC3411 in parallel with the  
main capacitors for high frequency decoupling.

the feedback pin, VFB, and the signal ground as shown in  
Figure 5. The output voltage is set by a resistive divider  
according to the following formula:  
ITH over 1024 clock cycles, as can be seen in Figure 4.  
The soft-start time can be increased by ramping the  
voltage on ITH during start-up as shown in Figure 3(c). As  
the voltage on ITH ramps through its operating range the  
internal peak current limit is also ramped at a proportional  
linear rate.

Keeping the current small (<5µA) in these resistors maxi-

stray capacitance to cause noise problems and reduce the  
phase margin of the error amp loop.  
Mode Selection and Frequency Synchronization  
TheSYNC/MODEpinisamultipurposepinwhichprovides  
mode selection and frequency synchronization. Connect-  
ing this pin to VIN enables Burst Mode operation, which  
provides the best low current efficiency at the cost of a  
higheroutputvoltageripple. Whenthispinisconnectedto  
ground, pulse skipping operation is selected which pro-  
vides the lowest output voltage and current ripple at the  
costoflowcurrentefficiency. Applyingavoltagewithin1V  
of the supplies, results in forced continuous mode, which  
createsafixedoutputrippleandiscapableofsinkingsome  
current (about 1/2IL). Since the switching noise is con-  
stantinthismode,itisalsotheeasiesttofilterout.Inmany  
cases, the output voltage can be simply connected to the  
SYNC/MODE pin, giving the forced continuous mode,  
except at startup.  
To improve the frequency response, a feed-forward ca-  
pacitor CF may also be used. Great care should be taken to  
route the VFB line away from noise sources, such as the  
inductor or the SW line.  
Shutdown and Soft-Start  
The SHDN/RT pin is a dual purpose pin that sets the  
oscillator frequency and provides a means to shut down  
the LTC3411. This pin can be interfaced with control logic  
in several ways, as shown in Figure 3(a) and Figure 3(b).  
The ITH pin is primarily for loop compensation, but it can  
also be used to increase the soft-start time. Soft start

The LTC3411 can also be synchronized to an external  
clocksignalbytheSYNC/MODEpin.Theinternaloscillator  
frequency should be set to 20% lower than the external  
clock frequency to ensure adequate slope compensation,  
since slope compensation is derived from the internal  
oscillator. During synchronization, the mode is set to  
pulse skipping and the top switch turn on is synchronized  
to the rising edge of the external clock.

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,  
Checking Transient Response  
where ESR is the effective series resistance of COUT  
.
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 predominantly second order system, phase margin  
and/ordampingfactorcanbeestimatedusingthepercent-

be estimated by examining the rise time at the pin.  
ILOAD also begins to charge or discharge COUT generat-  
ing a feedback error signal used by the regulator to return  
VOUT to its steady-state value. During this recovery time,  
VOUT canbemonitoredforovershootorringingthatwould  
indicate a stability problem.  
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 R and  
the bandwidth of the loop increases with decreasing C. If  
R is increased by the same factor that C 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 feedforward capacitor CF can  
be added to improve the high frequency response, as  
shown in Figure 5. Capacitor CF provides phase lead by  
creatingahighfrequencyzerowithR2whichimprovesthe

The ITH external components shown in the Figure 1 circuit

tions. The series R-C 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

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 Linear  
Technology Application Note 76.  
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) The switching current is the sum of the MOSFET driver  
and control currents. The MOSFET driver current results  
fromswitchingthegatecapacitanceofthepowerMOSFETs.  
Each time a MOSFET gate is switched from low to high to  
low again, a packet of charge dQ moves from VIN to  
ground. The resulting dQ/dt is a current out of VIN that is  
typically much larger than the DC bias current. In continu-  
ous mode, IGATECHG = fO(QT + QB), where QT and QB are  
the gate charges of the internal top and bottom MOSFET  
switches. The gate charge losses are proportional to VIN  
and thus their effects will be more pronounced at higher  
supply voltages.  
3)I2RLossesarecalculatedfromtheDCresistancesofthe  
internal switches, RSW, and external inductor, RL. In  
continuous mode, the average output current flowing  
through inductor L but is “chopped” between the internal  
top and bottom switches. 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:  
Although a buck regulator is capable of providing the full  
output current in dropout, it should be noted that as the  
input voltage VIN drops toward VOUT, the load step capa-  
bility does decrease due to the decreasing voltage across  
the inductor. Applications that require large load step  
capability near dropout should use a different topology  
such as SEPIC, Zeta or single inductor, positive buck/  
boost.  
In some applications, a more severe transient can be  
caused by switching in loads with large (>1uF) input  
capacitors.Thedischargedinputcapacitorsareeffectively  
put in parallel with COUT, causing a rapid drop in VOUT. No  
regulator can deliver enough current to prevent this prob-  
lem, if the switch connecting the load has low resistance  
and is driven quickly. The solution is to limit the turn-on  
speed of the load switch driver. A hot swap controller is  
designedspecificallyforthispurposeandusuallyincorpo-  
rates current limiting, short-circuit protection, and soft-  
starting.  
RSW = (RDS(ON)TOP)(DC) + (RDS(ON)BOT)(1 – DC)  
Efficiency Considerations  
The RDS(ON) for both the top and bottom MOSFETs can be  
obtained from the Typical Performance Characteristics  
curves. Thus, to obtain I2R losses:  
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 which change would  
produce the most improvement. Percent efficiency can be  
expressed as:  
I2R losses = IOUT2(RSW + RL)  
4)Otherhiddenlossessuchascoppertraceandinternal  
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. Other losses including diode conduction losses  
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, four main sources usually account for most of the  
losses in LTC3411 circuits: 1) LTC3411 VIN current,  
2) switching losses, 3) I2R losses, 4) other losses.

assume that the actual junction temperature will not  
exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature of  
125°C.  
In a majority of applications, the LTC3411 does not  
dissipate much heat due to its high efficiency. However, in  
applications where the LTC3411 is running at high ambi-  
ent temperature with low supply voltage and high duty  
cycles, suchasindropout, theheatdissipatedmayexceed  
the maximum junction temperature of the part. If the  
junction temperature reaches approximately 150°C, both  
power switches will be turned off and the SW node will  
become high impedance.  
Design Example  
As a design example, consider using the LTC3411 in a  
portable application with a Li-Ion battery. The battery  
provides a VIN = 2.5V to 4.2V. The load requires a maxi-  
mumof1Ainactivemodeand10mAinstandbymode.The  
output voltage is VOUT = 2.5V. Since the load still needs  
power in standby, Burst Mode operation is selected for  
good low load efficiency.  
To avoid the LTC3411 from exceeding the maximum  
junction temperature, the user will need to do some  
thermal analysis. The goal of the thermal analysis is to  
determine whether the power dissipated exceeds the  
maximum junction temperature of the part. The tempera-  
ture rise is given by:

Choosing the closest inductor from a vendor of 2.2µH,  
results in a maximum ripple current of:  
As an example, consider the case when the LTC3411 is in  
dropout at an input voltage of 3.3V with a load current of

The MS10 package junction-to-ambient thermal resis-

Therefore, the junction temperature of the regulator oper-  
ating in a 70°C ambient temperature is approximately:  
1MHz (5%2.5V)  
The closest standard value is 22µF. Since the output  
impedance of a Li-Ion battery is very low, CIN is typically  
10µF. In noisy environments, decoupling SVIN from PVIN  
with an R6/C8 filter of 1/0.1µF may help, but is typically  
not needed.  
TJ = 0.11 • 120 + 70 = 83.2°C  
Remembering that the above junction temperature is  
obtained from an RDS(ON) at 25°C, we might recalculate  
the junction temperature based on a higher RDS(ON) since  
it increases with temperature. However, we can safely

2. Are the COUT and L1 closely connected? The (–) plate of  
COUT returns current to PGND and the (–) plate of CIN.  
The compensation should be optimized for these compo-  
nents by examining the load step response but a good  
place to start for the LTC3411 is with a 13kand 1000pF  
filter. The output capacitor may need to be increased  
depending on the actual undershoot during a load step.  
3. The resistor divider, R1 and R2, must be connected  
between the (+) plate of COUT and a ground line terminated  
near SGND (Pin 3). The feedback signal VFB should be

The PGOOD pin is a common drain output and requires a

When laying out the printed circuit board, the following  
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of the  
LTC3411. These items are also illustrated graphically in  
the layout diagram of Figure 6. Check the following in your  
layout:  
6. Flood all unused areas on all layers with copper.  
Flooding with copper will reduce the temperature rise of  
power components. These copper areas should be con-  
nected to one of the input supplies: PVIN, PGND, SVIN or  
SGND.  
1. Does the capacitor CIN connect to the power VIN (Pin 6)  
and power GND (Pin 5) as close as possible? This
