DESCRIPTION  
FEATURES  
The LTC®3417A-1 is a dual constant frequency, synchro-  
nous step-down DC/DC converter. Intended for medium  
power applications, it operates from a 2.25V to 5.5V input  
voltagerangeandhasaconstantprogrammableswitching  
frequency, allowing the use of tiny, low cost capacitors  
and inductors 2mm or less in height. Each output voltage  
is adjustable from 0.8V to 5V. Internal synchronous, low

125μA Quiescent Current in Sleep Mode  
A user selectable mode input allows the user to trade  
off ripple voltage for light load efficiency. Burst Mode  
operation provides high efficiency at light loads, while  
pulse skip mode provides low ripple noise at light loads.  
A phase mode pin allows the second channel to operate  
in-phase or 180° out-of-phase with respect to channel 1.  
Out-of-phase operation produces lower RMS current on

APPLICATIONS  
To further maximize battery life, the P-channel MOSFETs  
are turned on continuously in dropout (100% duty cycle)  
and both channels draw a total quiescent current of only  
100μA. In shutdown, the device draws <1μA.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS  
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 5: Switch on-resistance is guaranteed by design and test correlation  
on the DHC package and by final test correlation on the FE package.  
Note 6: Variable frequency operation with resistor is guaranteed by design  
but not production tested and is subject to duty cycle limitations.  
Note 2: The LTC3417AE-1 is guaranteed to meet specified performance  
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating  
ambient temperature range are assured by design, characterization  
and correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3417AI-1 is  
guaranteed to meet performance specifications over the –40°C to 125°C  
operating temperature range.  
Note 7: 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 8: T is calculated from the ambient temperature, T , and power  
J
A
Note 3: The LTC3417A-1 is tested in feedback loop which servos V to  
FB1  
dissipation, P , according to the following formula:  
D
the midpoint for the error amplifier (V  
= 0.6V) and V to the midpoint

Note 4: Total supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge being

LTC3417A-1  
OPERATION  
The LTC3417A-1 uses a constant frequency, current  
mode architecture. Both channels share the same clock  
frequency. The PHASE pin sets whether the channels are  
runningin-phaseoroutofphase. Theoperatingfrequency

Three modes are available to control the operation of the  
LTC3417A-1 at low currents. Each of the three modes

selected mode when the load current is low.  
is determined by connecting the FREQ pin to V for  
IN  
1.5MHz operation or by connecting a resistor from FREQ  
to ground for a frequency from 0.6MHz to 4MHz. To suit  
a variety of applications, the SYNC/MODE pin allows the  
user to trade off noise for efficiency.  
To optimize efficiency, Burst Mode operation can be se-  
lected. When the load is relatively light, the LTC3417A-1  
automaticallyswitchesintoBurstModeoperationinwhich  
the PMOS switches operate 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  
desiredregulatedvalue.Thehysteresisvoltagecomparator

starts another cycle.  
Main Control Loop  
For lower output voltage ripple at low currents, pulse skip-  
ping mode can be used. In this mode, the LTC3417A-1  
continues to switch at constant frequency down to very  
low currents, where it will begin skipping pulses used to  
control the power MOSFETs.  
For each regulator, during normal operation, the P-chan-  
nel MOSFET power switch is turned on at the beginning  
of a clock cycle when the V voltage is below the refer-  
ence 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 N-channel MOSFET switch into the load until  
the next clock cycle.  
FB  
Finally, in forced continuous mode, the inductor current is  
constantlycycledcreatingaxedoutputvoltagerippleatall  
output current levels. This feature is desirable in telecom-  
munications since the noise is 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 I pin, which is the output of the error amplifier.

The main control loop is shut down by pulling the RUN pin

which will slowly ramp the peak inductor current up over  
1024 clock cycles.

Operating Frequency  
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  
inductance values and/or capacitance to maintain low  
output ripple voltage.

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

LTC3417A-1  
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
In most cases, 0.1μF to 1μF of ceramic capacitors should  
also be placed close to the LTC3417A-1 in parallel with  
the main capacitors for high frequency decoupling.  
More capacitance may be required depending on the duty  
cycle and load step requirements.  
Inmostapplications,theinputcapacitorismerelyrequired  
to supply high frequency bypassing, since the impedance  
to the supply is very low. A 10μF ceramic capacitor is  
usually enough for these conditions.  
Ceramic Input and Output Capacitors  
Higher value, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now  
becoming available in smaller case sizes. Because the  
LTC3417 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. When choosing the input and output  
ceramic capacitors, choose the X5R or X7R dielectric  
formulations. These dielectrics have the best temperature  
and voltage characteristics of all the ceramics for a given  
value and size.  
Setting the Output Voltage

At worst, the ringing at the input can be large enough to  
damage the part.  
To improve the frequency response, a feed-forward ca-  
Since the ESR of a ceramic capacitor is so low, the input  
and output capacitor must fulfill a charge storage re-  
quirement. During a load step, the output capacitor must  
instantaneously supply the current to support the load  
until the feedback loop raises the switch current enough  
to support the load. The time required for the feedback  
loop to respond is dependent on the compensation com-  
ponents and the output capacitor size. Typically, 3 to 4  
cycles are required to respond to a load step, but only in  
the first cycle does the output drop linearly. The output  
pacitor, C , may also be used. Great care should be taken

at the cost of a higher output voltage ripple. When SYNC/  
MODE is connected to ground, pulse skipping operation  
is selected for both regulators, which provides the low-  
est output voltage and current ripple at the cost of low  
current efficiency. Applying a voltage that is more than  
1V from either supply results in forced continuous mode  
for both regulators, which creates a fixed output ripple

Since the switching noise is constant in this mode, it is  
also the easiest to filter out. In many cases, the output

the phase the same in the most critical frequency range  
of the feedback loop. In addition, feedforward capacitors,  
C1 and C2, can be added to improve the high frequency  
response, as shown in Figure 4. Capacitor C1 provides  
phase lead by creating a high frequency zero with R1  
which improves the phase margin for the 1.5A SW1 chan-

Thermal Considerations

The LTC3417A-1 requires the package Exposed Pad  
(PGND2/GNDD pin) to be well soldered to the PC board.  
This gives the DFN and TSSOP packages exceptional  
thermal properties, compared to similar packages of this  
size, making it difficult in normal operation to exceed the  
maximum junction temperature of the part. In a majority  
of applications, the LTC3417A-1 does not dissipate much  
heat due to its high efficiency. However, in applications  
where the LTC3417A-1 is running at high ambient tem-  
perature 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  
temperature reaches approximately 150°C, both switches  
in both regulators will be turned off and the SW nodes will  
become high impedance.

V to ground. The resulting charge over the switching
