LTC3412  
2.5A, 4MHz, Monolithic  
Synchronous Step-Down Regulator  
U
FEATURES  
DESCRIPTIO  
The LTC®3412 is a high efficiency monolithic synchro-  
nous, step-down DC/DC converter utilizing a constant  
frequency, current mode architecture. It operates from an  
input voltage range of 2.625V to 5.5V and provides an  
adjustable regulated output voltage from 0.8V to 5V while  
delivering up to 2.5A of output current. The internal  
synchronous power switch with 85mΩ on-resistance  
increases efficiency and eliminates the need for an exter-  
nal Schottky diode. Switching frequency is set by an  
external resistor or can be sychronized to an external  
clock. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation  
extending battery life in portable systems. OPTI-LOOP®  
compensation allows the transient response to be opti-  
mized over a wide range of loads and output capacitors.  
The LTC3412 can be configured for either Burst Mode®  
operation or forced continuous operation. Forced con-  
tinuousoperationreducesnoiseandRFinterferencewhile  
Burst Mode operation provides high efficiency by reduc-  
ing gate charge losses at light loads. In Burst Mode  
operation, external control of the burst clamp level allows  
the output voltage ripple to be adjusted according to the  
requirements of the application. To further maximize  
battery life, the P-channel MOSFET is turned on continu-  
ously in dropout (100% duty cycle).

OPERATIO  
Main Control Loop  
current increases, it causes a reduction in the feedback  
voltage relative to the reference. The error amplifier raises  
the ITH voltage until the average inductor current matches  
the new load current. When the top power MOSFET shuts  
off, the synchronous power switch (N-channel MOSFET)  
turns on until either the bottom current limit is reached or  
the beginning of the next clock cycle. The bottom current  
limit is set at –2A for forced continuous mode and 0A for  
Burst Mode operation.  
TheLTC3412isamonolithic, constant-frequency, current  
mode step-down DC/DC converter. During normal opera-  
tion, the internal top power switch (P-channel MOSFET) is  
turned on at the beginning of each clock cycle. Current in  
the inductor increases until the current comparator trips  
and turns off the top power MOSFET. The peak inductor  
current at which the current comparator shuts off the top  
power switch is controlled by the voltage on the ITH pin.  
The error amplifier adjusts the voltage on the ITH pin by  
comparing the feedback signal from a resistor divider on  
the VFB pin with an internal 0.8V reference. When the load  
The operating frequency is set by an external resistor  
connected between the RT pin and ground. The practical  
switching frequency can range from 300kHz to 4MHz.

OPERATIO  
peak inductor current will be determined by the voltage on  
theITH pinuntiltheITH voltagedropsbelow200mV. Atthis  
point, the peak inductor current is determined by the  
minimum on-time of the current comparator. If the load  
demand is less than the average of the minimum on-time  
inductor current, switching cycles will be skipped to keep  
the output voltage in regulation.  
Overvoltage and undervoltage comparators will pull the  
PGOOD output low if the output voltage comes out of  
regulation by ±7.5%. In an overvoltage condition, the top  
power MOSFET is turned off and the bottom power MOS-  
FET is switched on until either the overvoltage condition  
clears or the bottom MOSFET’s current limit is reached.  
Forced Continuous Mode  
Frequency Synchronization  
Connecting the SYNC/MODE pin to SVIN will disable Burst  
Mode operation and force continuous current operation.  
At light loads, forced continuous mode operation is less  
efficient than Burst Mode operation but may be desirable  
in some applications where it is necessary to keep switch-  
ing harmonics out of a signal band. The output voltage  
ripple is minimized in this mode.  
TheinternaloscillatoroftheLTC3412canbesynchronized  
toanexternalclockconnectedtotheSYNC/MODEpin.The  
frequency of the external clock can be in the range of  
300kHz to 4MHz. For this application, the oscillator timing  
resistor should be chosen to correspond to a frequency  
that is 25% lower than the synchronization frequency.  
During synchronization, the burst clamp is set to 0V and  
each switching cycle begins at the falling edge of the  
external clock signal.  
Burst Mode Operation  
Connecting the SYNC/MODE pin to a voltage between 0V  
to 1V enables Burst Mode operation. In Burst Mode  
operation, the internal power MOSFETs operate intermit-  
tently at light loads. This increases efficiency by minimiz-  
ing switching losses. During Burst Mode operation, the  
minimum peak inductor current is externally set by the  
voltage on the SYNC/MODE pin and the voltage on the ITH  
pin is monitored by the burst comparator to determine  
when sleep mode is enabled and disabled. When the  
average inductor current is greater than the load current,  
the voltage on the ITH pin drops. As the ITH voltage falls  
below 150mV, the burst comparator trips and enables  
sleep mode. During sleep mode, the top MOSFET is held  
off and the ITH pin is disconnected from the output of the  
error amplifier. The majority of the internal circuitry is also  
turned off to reduce the quiescent current to 62μA while  
the load current is solely supplied by the output capacitor.  
When the output voltage drops, the ITH pin is reconnected  
to the output of the error amplifier and the top power  
MOSFET along with all the internal circuitry is switched  
back on. This process repeats at a rate that is dependent  
on the load demand.  
Dropout Operation  
When the input supply voltage decreases toward the  
output voltage, the duty cycle increases toward the maxi-  
mum on-time. Further reduction of the supply voltage  
forces the main switch to remain on for more than one  
cycle eventually reaching 100% duty cycle. The output  
voltage will then be determined by the input voltage minus  
the voltage drop across the internal P-channel MOSFET  
and the inductor.  
Low Supply Operation  
The LTC3412 is designed to operate down to an input  
supply voltage of 2.625V. One important consideration at  
low input supply voltages is that the RDS(ON) of the P-  
channel and N-channel power switches increases. The  
user should calculate the power dissipation when the  
LTC3412 is used at 100% duty cycle with low input  
voltages to ensure that thermal limits are not exceeded.  
Slope Compensation and Inductor Peak Current  
Pulse skipping operation can be implemented by connect-  
ing the SYNC/MODE pin to ground. This forces the burst  
clamp level to be at 0V. As the load current decreases, the  
Slope compensation provides stability in constant fre-  
quency architectures by preventing subharmonic oscilla-  
tions at duty cycles greater than 50%. It is accomplished

internally by adding a compensating ramp to the inductor  
current signal at duty cycles in excess of 40%. Normally,  
the maximum inductor peak current is reduced when  
slope compensation is added. In the LTC3412, however,  
slope compensation recovery is implemented to keep the  
maximum inductor peak current constant throughout the  
range of duty cycles. This keeps the maximum output  
current relatively constant regardless of duty cycle.  
Short-Circuit Protection  
Whentheoutputisshortedtoground,theinductorcurrent  
decays very slowly during a single switching cycle. To  
prevent current runaway from occurring, a secondary  
current limit is imposed on the inductor current. If the  
inductor valley current increases larger than 4.8A, the top  
powerMOSFETwillbeheldoffandswitchingcycleswillbe  
skipped until the inductor current falls to a safe level.

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 and switching losses but  
requires larger inductance values and/or capacitance to  
maintain low output ripple voltage.  
Having a lower ripple current reduces the ESR losses in  
the output capacitors and the output voltage ripple. High-  
est efficiency operation is achieved at low frequency with  
small ripple current. This, however, requires a large  
inductor.  
A reasonable starting point for selecting the ripple current  
is ΔIL = 0.4(IMAX). The largest ripple current occurs at the  
highest VIN. To guarantee that the ripple current stays  
below a specified maximum, the inductor value should be  
chosen according to the following equation:  
The operating frequency of the LTC3412 is determined by  
an external resistor that is connected between the RT pin

The inductor value will also have an effect on Burst Mode

current which causes this to occur at lower load currents.  
This causes a dip in efficiency in the upper range of low  
current operation. In Burst Mode operation, lower induc-  
tance values will cause the burst frequency to increase.  
Although frequencies as high as 4MHz are possible, the  
minimum on-time of the LTC3412 imposes a minimum  
limit on the operating duty cycle. The minimum on-time is  
typically 110ns. Therefore, the minimum duty cycle is  
equal to 100 • 110ns • f(Hz).

offer much relief. Note that ripple current ratings from  
capacitor manufacturers are often based on only 2000  
hours of life which makes it advisable to further derate the  
capacitor, orchooseacapacitorratedatahighertempera-  
ture than required. Several capacitors may also be paral-  
leled to meet size or height requirements in the design.  
Inductor Core Selection  
Once the value for L is known, the type of inductor must be  
selected. High efficiency converters generally cannot af-  
ford the core loss found in low cost powdered iron cores,  
forcing the use of more expensive ferrite, mollypermalloy,  
or Kool Mμ® cores. Actual core loss is independent of core  
size for a fixed inductor value but it is very dependent on  
theinductanceselected.Astheinductanceincreases,core  
losses decrease. Unfortunately, increased inductance re-  
quires more turns of wire and therefore copper losses will  
increase.  
The selection of COUT is determined by the effective series  
resistance (ESR) that is required to minimize voltage  
ripple and load step transients, as well as the amount of  
bulk capacitance that is necessary to ensure that the  
control loop is stable. Loop stability can be checked by  
viewing the load transient response as described in a later  
section. The output ripple, ΔVOUT, is determined by:  
Ferritedesignshaveverylowcorelossesandarepreferred  
at high switching frequencies, so design goals can con-  
centrate on copper loss and preventing saturation. Ferrite  
core material saturates “hard,” which means that induc-  
tance collapses abruptly when the peak design current is  
exceeded. This results in an abrupt increase in inductor  
ripple current and consequent output voltage ripple. Do  
not allow the core to saturate!

The output ripple is highest at maximum input voltage  
since ΔIL increases with input voltage. Multiple capacitors

mer, aluminum electrolytic and ceramic capacitors are all  
available in surface mount packages. Special polymer  
capacitors offer very low ESR but have lower capacitance  
density than other types. Tantalum capacitors have the  
highest capacitance density but it is important to only use  
types that have been surge tested for use in switching  
power supplies. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors have  
significantly higher ESR but can be used in cost-sensitive  
applications provided that consideration is given to ripple  
current ratings and long term reliability. Ceramic capaci-  
tors have excellent low ESR characteristics but can have a  
high voltage coefficient and audible piezoelectric effects.  
The high Q of ceramic capacitors with trace inductance  
can also lead to significant ringing.  
Different core materials and shapes will change the size/  
current and price/current relationship of an inductor.  
Toroid or shielded pot cores in ferrite or permalloy mate-  
rials are small and don’t radiate energy but generally cost  
more than powdered iron core inductors with similar  
characteristics. The choice of which style inductor to use  
mainly depends on the price vs size requirements and any  
radiated field/EMI requirements. New designs for surface  
mount inductors are available from Coiltronics, Coilcraft,  
Toko and Sumida.  
CIN and COUT Selection  
The input capacitance, CIN, is needed to filter the trapezoi-  
dal current at the source of the top MOSFET. To prevent

Using Ceramic Input and Output Capacitors  
Higher values, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now  
becoming available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple

current to remain equal to IBURST regardless of further  
reductions in the load current. Since the average inductor  
current is greater than the output load current, the voltage  
on the ITH pin will decrease. When the ITH voltage drops to  
150mV, sleep mode is enabled in which both power  
MOSFETs are shut off along with most of the circuitry to  
minimize power consumption. All circuitry is turned back  
on and the power MOSFETs begin switching again when  
the output voltage drops out of regulation. The value for  
IBURST is determined by the desired amount of output  
voltage ripple. As the value of IBURST increases, the sleep  
period between pulses and the output voltage ripple in-  
crease. The burst clamp voltage, VBURST, can be set by a

The resistive divider allows the VFB pin to sense a fraction

MOSFET turn-on is locked to the falling edge of the

range is 300kHz to 4MHz. Synchronization only occurs if  
the external frequency is greater than the frequency set by  
the external resistor. Because slope compensation is  
generated by the oscillator’s RC circuit, the external fre-  
quency should be set 25% higher than the frequency set  
by the external resistor to ensure that adequate slope  
compensation is present.

V
BURST greater than 1V, IBURST is set at 3.75A. For values  
of VBURST less than 0.2V, IBURST is set at 0A. As the output  
load current drops, the peak inductor current decreases to  
keep the output voltage in regulation. When the output  
load current demands a peak inductor current that is less  
than IBURST, the burst clamp will force the peak inductor  
The RUN/SS pin provides a means to shut down the  
LTC3412 as well as a timer for soft-start. Pulling the  
RUN/SS pin below 0.5V places the LTC3412 in a low  
quiescent current shutdown state (IQ < 1μA).

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO  
The LTC3412 contains an internal soft-start clamp that  
gradually raises the clamp on ITH after the RUN/SS pin is  
pulled above 2V. The full current range becomes available  
on ITH after 1024 switching cycles. If a longer soft-start  
period is desired, the clamp on ITH can be set externally  
with a resistor and capacitor on the RUN/SS pin as shown  
in Figure 1. The soft-start duration can be calculated by  
using the following formula:  
switches. Both the DC bias and gate charge losses are  
proportional to VIN and thus their effects will be more  
pronounced at higher supply voltages.  
2. I2R losses are calculated from the resistances of the  
internal switches, RSW and external inductor RL. In con-  
tinuous mode the average output current flowing through  
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:

tSS = RSSCSS ln

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, simply add RSW to RL  
and multiply the result by the square of the average output  
current.  
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:  
Other losses including CIN and COUT ESR dissipative  
losses and inductor core losses generally account for less  
than 2% of the total loss.  
Efficiency = 100% – (L1 + L2 + L3 + ...)  
whereL1, L2, etc. aretheindividuallossesasapercentage  
of input power.  
Thermal Considerations  
Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce  
losses, two main sources usually account for most of the  
losses: VIN quiescent current and I2R losses.  
In most applications, the LTC3412 does not dissipate  
much heat due to its high efficiency. But, in applications  
where the LTC3412 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  
junction temperature of the part. If the junction tempera-  
ture reaches approximately 150°C, both power switches  
will be turned off and the SW node will become high  
impedance.  
The VIN quiescent current loss dominates the efficiency  
loss at very low load currents whereas the I2R loss  
dominates the efficiency loss at medium to high load  
currents. In a typical efficiency plot, the efficiency curve at  
very low load currents can be misleading since the actual  
power lost is of no consequence.  
To avoid the LTC3412 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:  
1. The VIN quiescent current is due to two components:  
theDCbiascurrentasgivenintheelectricalcharacteristics  
and the internal main switch and synchronous switch gate  
charge currents. The gate charge current results from  
switching the gate capacitance of the internal power  
MOSFET switches. Each time the gate is switched from  
high to low to high again, a packet of charge dQ moves  
from VIN to ground. The resulting dQ/dt is the current out  
of VIN that is typically larger than the DC bias current. In  
continuous mode, IGATECHG=f(QT + QB) where QT and QB  
are the gate charges of the internal top and bottom

where PD is the power dissipated by the regulator and θJA

Note that at higher supply voltages, the junction tempera-

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 ΔILOAD(ESR), where ESR is the effective series  
resistance of COUT. ΔILOAD also begins to charge or  
dischargeCOUT generatingafeedbackerrorsignalusedby  
the regulator to return VOUT to its steady-state value.  
During this recovery time, VOUT can be monitored for  
overshoot or ringing that would indicate a stability prob-  
lem. The ITH pin external components and output capaci-  
tor shown in Figure 1 will provide adequate compensation  
for most applications.
