LTC3411  
1.25A, 4MHz, Synchronous  
Step-Down DC/DC Converter  
FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
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.

Note 2: The LTC3411E is guaranteed to meet specified performance from  
0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating termperature  
range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with  
statistical process controls. The LTC3411I is guaranteed to meet specified  
performance over the full –40°C to 125°C operating temperature range.  
Note 6: Switch on-resistance is guaranteed by correlation to wafer level  
measurements.  
Note 7: 4MHz operation is guaranteed by design but not production tested  
and is subject to duty cycle limitations (see Applications Information).  
Note 8: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended  
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction  
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.  
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction  
temperature may impair device reliability.  
Note 3: The LTC3411 is tested in a feedback loop which servos V to the  
FB  
midpoint for the error amplifier (V = 0.6V).  
ITH  
Note 4: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge  
being delivered at the switching frequency.

LTC3411  
OPERATION  
The LTC3411 uses a constant frequency, current mode  
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  
the power MOSFETs are minimized. The main control loop  
is interrupted when the output voltage reaches the desired  
regulated value. The hysteretic voltage comparator B  
architecture. The operating frequency is determined by  
the value of the R resistor or can be synchronized to an  
T
external oscillator. To suit a variety of applications, the  
selectable Mode pin, allows the user to trade-off noise  
for efficiency.  
The output voltage is set by an external divider returned  
to the V pin. An error amplfier compares the divided  
FB  
outputvoltagewithareferencevoltageof0.8Vandadjusts  
the peak inductor current accordingly. Overvoltage and  
undervoltage comparators will pull the PGOOD output  
low if the output voltage is not within 7.5%.  
trips when I is below 0.24V, shutting off the switch and  
TH  
reducing the power. The output capacitor and the inductor  
supply the power to the load until I /RUN exceeds 0.31V,  
TH  
turning on the switch and the main control loop which  
starts another cycle.  
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 low currents, where it will eventually begin skipping  
pulses.  
Duringnormaloperation,thetoppowerswitch(P-channel  
MOSFET)isturnedonatthebeginningofaclockcyclewhen  
the V voltage is below the reference voltage. The current  
FB  
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 advan-  
tage of this mode is that the regulator is capable of both

Selection of the operating frequency is a tradeoff between

allows the use of smaller inductor and capacitor values.  
Operation at lower frequencies improves efficiency by  
reducing internal gate charge losses but requires larger

load currents. This causes 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 increase.  
Catch Diode Selection  
Although unnecessary in most applications, a small  
improvement in efficiency can be obtained in a few ap-  
plications by including the optional diode D1 shown in  
Figure 5, which conducts when the synchronous switch is  
off. WhenusingBurstModeoperationorpulseskipmode,  
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 cur-  
rent 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,  
usuallynegatingthepossiblebenefitsforLTC3411circuits.  
Another problem that a Schottky diode can introduce is  
higher leakage current at high temperatures, which could  
reduce the low current efficiency.  
Inductor Core Selection  
Different core materials and shapes will change the  
size/current and price/current relationship of an induc-  
tor. Toroid or shielded pot cores in ferrite or permalloy  
materials are small and don’t radiate much energy, but  
generally cost more than powdered iron core inductors  
with similar electrical characteristics. The choice of which  
style inductor to use often depends more on the price vs  
sizerequirementsandanyradiatedeld/EMIrequirements  
than on what the LTC3411 requires to operate. Table 1  
shows some typical surface mount inductors that work  
well in LTC3411 applications.  
Remember to keep lead lengths short and observe proper  
grounding(seeBoardLayoutConsiderations)toavoidring-  
ing and increased dissipation when using a catch diode.

LTC3411  
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
The output voltage can now be programmed by choosing  
the values of R1 and R2. To maintain high efficiency, the  
current in these resistors should be kept small. Choosing  
2μA with the 0.8V feedback voltage makes R1~400k. A  
close standard 1% resistor is 412k and R2 is then 887k.  
1. Does the capacitor C connect to the power V (Pin 6)  
IN IN  
andpowerGND(Pin5)ascloseaspossible?Thiscapacitor  
provides the AC current to the internal power MOSFETs  
and their drivers.  
2. Are the C

The compensation should be optimized for these compo-  
nentsbyexaminingtheloadstepresponsebutagoodplace  
to start for the LTC3411 is with a 13kΩ and 1000pF filter.  
The output capacitor may need to be increased depending  
on the actual undershoot during a load step.  
C
returns current to PGND and the (–) plate of C .  
OUT IN  
3. The resistor divider, R1 and R2, must be connected  
between the (+) plate of C  
and a ground line terminated  
OUT  
near SGND (Pin 3). The feedback signal V should be  
FB  
routed away from noisy components and traces, such as  
the SW line (Pin 4), and its trace should be minimized.  
The PGOOD pin is a common drain output and requires  
a pull-up resistor. A 100k resistor is used for adequate  
speed.  
4. Keep sensitive components away from the SW pin. The  
input capacitor C , the compensation capacitor C and  
IN  
C
Figure 1 shows the complete schematic for this design  
example.  
C
and all the resistors R1, R2, R , and R should be  
ITH T C  
routed away from the SW trace and the inductor L1.  
5. A ground plane is preferred, but if not available, keep  
thesignalandpowergroundssegregatedwithsmallsignal  
components returning to the SGND pin at one point which  
is then connected to the PGND pin.  
Board Layout Considerations  
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. Flood-  
ing with copper will reduce the temperature rise of power  
components. These copper areas should be connected to  
one of the input supplies: PV , PGND, SV or SGND.
