Operation  
The buck converters are current mode controlled and  
utilize an internal synchronous rectifier to improve ef-  
ficiency. The buck converters support 100% duty cycle  
operation to extend battery life. If the PWM pin is held  
low, the buck converters automatically transition from  
Burst Mode operation to PWM mode at high loads. With  
the PWM pin held high, the buck converters remain in low  
noise, 1.1MHz PWM mode.

LTC3521  
operaTion  
The LTC3521 combines dual synchronous buck DC/DC  
converters and a 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC converter  
in a 4mm × 4mm QFN package and a 20-pin thermally  
enhanced TSSOP package. The buck-boost converter  
utilizes a proprietary switching algorithm which allows its  
output voltage to be regulated above, below or equal to  
the input voltage. The buck converters provide a high ef-  
ficiencylowervoltageoutputandsupport100%dutycycle  
operation to extend battery life. In Burst Mode operation,  
the total quiescent current for the LTC3521 is reduced to  
30μA. All three converters are synchronized to the same  
internal 1.1MHz oscillator.  
Dropout Operation  
As the input voltage decreases to a value approaching the  
output regulation voltage, the duty cycle increases toward  
the maximum on-time. Further reduction of the supply  
voltage will force the main switch to remain on for more  
than one cycle until 100% duty cycle operation is reached  
where the main switch remains on continuously. In this  
dropout state, the output will be determined by the input  
voltage less the resistive voltage drop across the main  
switch and series resistance of the inductor.  
Slope Compensation  
Currentmodecontrolrequirestheuseofslopecompensa-  
tion to prevent subharmonic oscillations in the inductor  
current at high duty cycle operation. This is accomplished  
internally on the LTC3521 through the addition of a com-  
pensatingramptothecurrentsensesignal.Insomecurrent  
mode ICs, current limiting is performed by clamping the  
error amplifier voltage to a fixed maximum. This leads to a  
reduced output current capability at low step-down ratios.  
In contrast, the LTC3521 performs current limiting prior  
to addition of the slope compensation ramp and therefore  
achieves a peak inductor current limit that is independent  
of duty cycle.  
BUCK CONVERTER OPERATION  
PWM Mode Operation  
When the PWM pin is held high, the LTC3521 buck con-  
verters use a constant-frequency, current mode control  
architecture. Both the main (P-channel MOSFET) and  
synchronous rectifier (N-channel MOSFET) switches  
are internal. At the start of each oscillator cycle, the  
P-channel switch is turned on and remains on until the  
currentwaveformwithsuperimposedslopecompensation  
ramp exceeds the error amplifier output. At this point,  
the synchronous rectifier is turned on and remains on  
until the inductor current falls to zero or a new switching  
cycle is initiated. As a result, the buck converters operate  
with discontinuous inductor current at light loads, which  
improvesefficiency.Atextremelylightloads,theminimum  
on-time of the main switch will be reached and the buck  
converters will begin turning off for multiple cycles in  
order to maintain regulation.  
Short-Circuit Protection  
When the output is shorted to ground, the error amplifier  
will saturate high and the P-channel MOSFET switch will  
turn on at the start of each cycle and remain on until the  
current limit trips. During this minimum on-time, the in-  
ductor current will increase rapidly and will decrease very  
slowly during the remainder of the period due to the very  
small reverse voltage produced by a hard output short.  
To eliminate the possibility of inductor current runaway in  
this situation, the buck converter switching frequency is  
reducedto250kHzwhenthevoltageonthebuckFBpinfalls  
below 0.25V. The buck soft-start circuit is reset when the  
buck FB pin falls below 0.25V to provide a smooth restart  
once the short-circuit condition at the output voltage is  
no longer present. Additionally, the PMOS current limit  
is decreased from 1050mA to 700mA when the voltage  
on the buck FB pin falls below 0.25V.  
Burst Mode Operation  
When the PWM pin is forced low, the buck converters will  
automatically transition between Burst Mode operation  
at sufficiently light loads (below approximately 15mA)  
and PWM mode at heavier loads. Burst Mode entry is  
determined by the peak inductor current. Therefore,  
the load current at which Burst Mode operation will be  
entered depends on the input voltage, the output voltage  
and the inductor value. Typical curves for Burst Mode  
entry threshold are provided in the Typical Performance  
Characteristics section of this data sheet. In dropout and  
neardropoutconditions,BurstModeoperationisdisabled.

Soft-Start  
BUCK-BOOST CONVERTER OPERATION  
PWM Mode Operation  
The buck converters have an internal voltage mode  
soft-start circuit with a nominal duration of 800μs. The  
converters remain in regulation during soft-start and will  
therefore respond to output load transients which occur  
during this time. In addition, the output voltage rise time  
has minimal dependency on the size of the output capaci-  
tor or load current.  
When the PWM pin is held high, the LTC3521 buck-boost  
converter operates in a constant-frequency PWM mode  
with voltage mode control. A proprietary switching algo-  
rithm allows the converter to switch between buck, buck-  
boost and boost modes without discontinuity in inductor  
current or loop characteristics. The switch topology for  
the buck-boost converter is shown in Figure 1.  
Error Amplifier and Compensation  
When the input voltage is significantly greater than the  
output voltage, the buck-boost converter operates in  
buck mode. Switch D turns on continuously and switch  
C remains off. Switches A and B are pulse width modu-  
lated to produce the required duty cycle to support the  
output regulation voltage. As the input voltage decreases,  
switch A remains on for a larger portion of the switching  
cycle. When the duty cycle reaches approximately 85%,  
the switch pair AC begins turning on for a small fraction  
of the switching period. As the input voltage decreases  
further, theACswitchpairremainsonforlongerdurations  
and the duration of the BD phase decreases proportion-  
ally. As the input voltage drops below the output voltage,  
the AC phase will eventually increase to the point that  
there is no longer any BD phase. At this point, switch A  
remains on continuously while switch pair CD is pulse  
width modulated to obtain the desired output voltage. At  
this point, the converteris operating solely in boostmode.  
The LTC3521 buck converters utilize an internal transcon-  
ductance error amplifier. Compensation of the feedback  
loop is performed internally to reduce the size of the  
application circuit and simplify the design process. The  
compensation network has been designed to allow use of  
a wide range of output capacitors while simultaneously  
ensuring rapid response to load transients.  
PGOOD Comparators  
The PGOOD2 and PGOOD3 pins are open-drain outputs  
which indicate the status of the buck converters. If  
the buck output voltage falls 9% below the regulation  
voltage, the respective PGOOD open-drain output will  
pull low. The output voltage must rise 2% above the  
falling threshold before the pull-down will turn off. In  
addition, there is a 60μs typical deglitching delay in  
the flag in order to prevent false trips due to voltage  
transients on load steps. The respective PGOOD output  
will also pull low during overtemperature shutdown,  
undervoltage lockout or if the respective buck con-  
verter SHDN pin is pulled low to indicate these fault  
conditions.  
This switching algorithm provides a seamless transition  
between operating modes and eliminates discontinuities  
in average inductor current, inductor current ripple and  
loop transfer function throughout all three operational

and stability in comparison to the traditional 4-switch  
buck-boost converter.  
this case, the increased bandwidth created by decreasing  
R2 is used to counteract the reduced converter bandwidth  
caused by the large output capacitor.  
Error Amplifier and Compensation  
Current Limit Operation  
The buck-boost converter utilizes a voltage mode error  
amplifierwithaninternalcompensationnetworkasshown  
in Figure 2.  
The buck-boost converter has two current limit circuits.  
The primary current limit is an average current limit circuit  
which injects an amount of current into the feedback node  
which is proportional to the extent that the switch A cur-  
rent exceeds the current limit value. Due to the high gain  
of this loop, the injected current forces the error amplifier  
outputtodecreaseuntiltheaveragecurrentthroughswitch  
A decreases approximately to the current limit value. The  
averagecurrentlimitutilizestheerroramplifierinanactive  
state and thereby provides a smooth recovery with little  
overshootoncethecurrentlimitfaultconditionisremoved.  
Since the current limit is based on the average current  
through switch A, the peak inductor current in current  
limit will have a dependency on the duty cycle (i.e., on the  
input and output voltages in the overcurrent condition).

The speed of the average current limit circuit is limited by  
thedynamicsoftheerroramplifier.Onahardoutputshort,  
it would be possible for the inductor current to increase  
substantially beyond current limit before the average cur-  
rent limit circuit would react. For this reason, there is a  
second current limit circuit which turns off switch A if the  
current ever exceeds approximately 165% of the average  
current limit value. This provides additional protection in  
the case of an instantaneous hard output short.  
Notice that resistor R2 of the external resistor divider  
networkplaysanintegralroleindeterminingthefrequency  
response of the compensation network. The ratio of R2 to  
R1 must be set to program the desired output voltage but  
this still allows the value of R2 to be adjusted to optimize

of R2 generally leads to greater stability at the expense of  
reduced transient response speed. Increasing the value of

use of a small value output capacitor or a large inductance  
(particularly with large boost step-up ratios). Conversely,  
decreasing the value of R2 increases the loop bandwidth  
which can improve the speed of the converter’s transient  
response. This can be useful in improving the transient  
response if a large valued output capacitor is utilized. In

Burst Mode Operation  
voltage through the action of the voltage mode error am-  
plifier. Since the soft-start is voltage mode, the feedback  
voltage will track the output voltage correctly during  
soft-start, and the PGOOD1 output will correctly indicate  
the point at which the buck-boost attains regulation at the  
end of soft-start. Therefore, the PGOOD1 output can be  
utilized for sequencing purposes. Once in regulation, the  
feedback voltage will no longer track the output voltage,  
and the PGOOD1 pin will not directly respond to a loss  
of regulation in the output. However, the only means by  
which a loss of regulation can occur is if the current limit  
has been reached, thereby preventing the buck-boost  
converter from delivering the required output current.  
In such cases, the occurrence of current limit will cause  
the PGOOD1 flag to fall indicating a fault state. There can  
be cases, however, when the buck-boost converter is  
continuously in current limit, causing the PGOOD1 output  
to pull low, while the output voltage still remains slightly  
above the PGOOD1 comparator trip point.  
With the PWM pin held low, the buck-boost converter  
operatesutilizingavariablefrequencyswitchingalgorithm  
designed to improve efficiency at light load and reduce  
the standby current at zero load. In Burst Mode operation,  
the inductor is charged with fixed peak amplitude current  
pulses. These current pulses are repeated as often as  
necessary to maintain the output regulation voltage. The  
maximum output current which can be supplied in Burst  
Mode operation is dependent upon the input and output

Soft-Start  
ThePGOOD1outputalsopullslowduringovertemperature  
shutdown, undervoltage lockout or if the SHDN1 pin is  
pulled low.  
The buck-boost converter has an internal voltage mode  
soft-start circuit with a nominal duration of 600μs. The  
converter remains in regulation during soft-start and will  
therefore respond to output load transients that occur  
during this time. In addition, the output voltage rise time  
has minimal dependency on the size of the output capaci-  
tor or load. During soft-start, the buck-boost converter is  
forced into PWM operation regardless of the state of the  
PWM pin.  
COMMON FUNCTIONS  
Thermal Shutdown  
If the die temperature exceeds 150°C, all three converters  
will be disabled. All power devices will be turned off and  
all switch nodes will be high impedance. The soft-start  
circuits for all three converters are reset during thermal  
shutdown to provide a smooth recovery once the over-  
temperature condition is eliminated. All three converters  
will restart (if enabled) when the die temperature drops  
to approximately 140°C.  
PGOOD Comparator  
The PGOOD1 pin is an open-drain output which indicates  
the status of the buck-boost converter. In Burst Mode  
operation (PWM = Low), the PGOOD1 open-drain output  
will pull low when the feedback voltage falls 9% below the  
regulationvoltage.Thereisapproximately3%hysteresisin  
this threshold when the output voltage is returning good.  
In addition, there is a 60μs typical deglitching delay to  
prevent false trips due to short duration voltage transients  
in response to load steps.  
Undervoltage Lockout  
If the supply voltage decreases below 1.7V (typical) then  
all three converters will be disabled and all power devices  
will be turned off. The soft-start circuits for all three con-  
verters are reset during undervoltage lockout to provide  
a smooth restart once the input voltage rises above the  
undervoltage lockout threshold.  
In PWM mode, operation of the PGOOD1 comparator is  
complicated by the fact that the feedback pin voltage is  
driven to the reference voltage independent of the output

The basic LTC3521 application circuit is shown as the  
Typical Application on the front page of this data sheet.  
The external component selection is determined by the  
desired output voltages, output currents and ripple volt-  
age requirements of each particular application. Basic  
guidelines and considerations for the design process are  
provided in this section.

Buck Inductor Selection  
The choice of buck inductor value influences both the ef-  
ficiency and the magnitude of the output voltage ripple.  
Larger inductance values will reduce inductor current  
ripple and lead to lower output voltage ripple. For a fixed  
DC resistance, a larger value inductor will yield higher  
efficiency by lowering the peak current closer to the av-  
erage. However, a larger inductor within the same family  
will generally have a greater series resistance, thereby  
offsetting this efficiency advantage.  
Buck Output Capacitor Selection  
A low ESR output capacitor should be utilized at the buck  
output in order to minimize voltage ripple. Multilayer ce-  
ramic capacitors are an excellent choice as they have low  
ESR and are available in small footprints. In addition to  
controlling the ripple magnitude, the value of the output  
capacitor also sets the loop crossover frequency and can,  
therefore, impact loop stability. There is both a minimum  
andmaximumcapacitancevaluerequiredtoensurestabil-  
ity of the loop. If the output capacitance is too small, the  
loop crossover frequency will increase to the point where  
the switching delay and the high frequency parasitic poles  
of the error amplifier will degrade the phase margin. In  
addition, the wider bandwidth produced by a small output  
capacitor will make the loop more susceptible to switch-  
ing noise. At the other extreme, if the output capacitor  
is too large, the crossover frequency can decrease too  
far below the compensation zero and lead to a degraded  
phase margin. Table 2 provides a guideline for the range  
of allowable values of low ESR output capacitors. Larger  
value output capacitors can be accommodated provided  
they have sufficient ESR to stabilize the loop.

( )

IN  
A reasonable choice for ripple current is ΔI = 240mA  
L
which represents 40% of the maximum 600mA load  
current. The DC current rating of the inductor should be  
at least equal to the maximum load current, plus half the  
ripple current, in order to prevent core saturation and loss  
of efficiency during operation. To optimize efficiency, the  
inductor should have a low series resistance.  
In particularly space-restricted applications, it may be  
advantageous to use a much smaller value inductor at  
the expense of larger ripple current. In such cases, the  
converter will operate in discontinuous conduction for a  
wider range of output loads and efficiency will be reduced.  
In addition, there is a minimum inductor value required  
to maintain stability of the current loop (given the fixed  
internal slope compensation). Specifically, if the buck  
converter is going to be utilized at duty cycles over 40%,

Buck Input Capacitor Selection  
Buck-Boost Output Voltage Programming  
ThePV pinprovidescurrenttothebuckconverterpower  
The buck-boost output voltage is set by a resistive divider  
according to the following formula:  
IN2  
switch and is the supply pin for the IC’s internal circuitry.  
It is recommended that a low ESR ceramic capacitor with  
a value of at least 4.7µF be used to bypass this pin. The  
capacitor should be placed as close to the pin as possible  
and have a short return to ground.  
R2  
R1  
VOUT1 = 0.6V 1+  
The external divider is connected to the output, as shown  
in Figure 4. The buck-boost converter utilizes voltage  
mode control and the value of R2 plays an integral role  
in the dynamics of the feedback loop. In general, a larger  
value for R2 will increase stability and reduce the speed of  
the transient response. A smaller value of R2 will reduce  
stabilitybutincreasethetransientresponsespeed.Agood  
starting point is to choose R2 = 1MΩ, then calculate the  
required value of R1 to set the desired output voltage ac-  
cording to the above formula. If a large output capacitor  
is used, the bandwidth of the converter is reduced. In  
such cases R2 can be reduced to improve the transient  
response. If a large inductor or small output capacitor is  
utilized, the loop will be less stable and the phase margin  
can be improved by increasing the value of R2.  
Buck Output Voltage Programming  
The output voltage is set by a resistive divider, according  
to the following formula:  
R2  
R1  
VOUT2,3 = 0.6V 1+  
The external divider is connected to the output, as shown  
in Figure 3. It is recommended that a feedforward capaci-  
tor, C , be placed in parallel with resistor R2 to improve  
FF  
the noise immunity of the feedback node. Table 3 provides  
the recommended resistor and feedforward capacitor  
combinations for common output voltage options.

To achieve high efficiency, a low ESR inductor should  
be utilized for the buck-boost converter. The inductor  
must have a saturation rating greater than the worst  
case average inductor current plus half the ripple current.  
The peak-to-peak inductor current ripple will be larger in  
buck and boost mode than in the buck-boost region. The  
peak-to-peak inductor current ripple for each mode can

be calculated from the following formulas, where f is the  
frequency in MHz and L is the inductance in μH:  
Since the output current is discontinuous in boost mode,  
the ripple in this mode will generally be much larger than  
the magnitude of the ripple in buck mode. In addition to  
controlling the ripple magnitude, the value of the output  
capacitoralsoaffectsthelocationoftheresonantfrequency  
in the open loop converter transfer function. If the output  
capacitor is too small, the bandwidth of the converter will  
extendhighenoughtodegradethephasemargin.To prevent  
this from happening, it is recommended that a minimum  
valueof1Fbeusedforthebuck-boostoutputcapacitor.

In addition to affecting output current ripple, the size of  
the inductor can also affect the stability of the feedback  
loop. In boost mode, the converter transfer function has  
a right half plane zero at a frequency that is inversely  
proportional to the value of the inductor. As a result, a  
large inductor can move this zero to a frequency that is  
low enough to degrade the phase margin of the feedback  
loop. It is recommended that the chosen inductor value be  
less than 10μH if the buck-boost converter is to be used  
in the boost region.

capacitor with a value of at least 4.7μF be located as close  
to this pin as possible.  
Inductor Style and Core Material  
Different inductor core materials and styles have an  
impact on the size and price of an inductor at any given  
peak current rating. Toroid or shielded pot cores in ferrite  
or permalloy materials are small and reduce emissions,  
but generally cost more than powdered iron core induc-  
tors with similar electrical characteristics. The choice of  
inductor style depends upon the price, sizing, and EMI  
requirements of a particular application. Table 4 provides  
a sampling of inductors that are well suited to many  
LTC3521 application circuits.  
Buck-Boost Output Capacitor Selection  
A low ESR output capacitor should be utilized at the buck-  
boost converter output in order to minimize output volt-  
age ripple. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are an excellent  
choice as they have low ESR and are available in small  
footprints. The capacitor should be chosen large enough  
to reduce the output voltage ripple to acceptable levels.  
Neglecting the capacitor ESR and ESL, the peak-to-peak  
output voltage ripple can be calculated by the following  
formulas, where f is the frequency in MHz, C  
is the

PCB Layout Considerations  
BoththeinputandoutputcapacitorsusedwiththeLTC3521  
must be low ESR and designed to handle the large AC cur-  
rents generated by switching converters. The vendors in  
Table 5 provide capacitors that are well suited to LTC3521  
application circuits.  
The LTC3521 switches large currents at high frequencies.  
Special care should be given to the PCB layout to ensure  
stable, noise-free operation. Figure 5 depicts the recom-  
mended PCB layout to be utilized for the LTC3521. A few  
key guidelines follow:  
1. Allcirculatinghighcurrentpathsshouldbekeptasshort  
as possible. This can be accomplished by keeping the  
routes to all bold components in Figure 5 as short and  
as wide as possible. Capacitor ground connections  
should via down to the ground plane in the shortest

and should have the shortest possible paths to ground.  
2. Thesmall-signalgroundpad(GND)shouldhaveasingle  
point connection to the power ground. A convenient  
way to achieve this is to short the pin directly to the  
Exposed Pad as shown in Figure 5.

www.avxcorp.com SM055C106KHN480 10μF  
Minimizing solution size is usually a priority. Please be  
aware that ceramic capacitors can exhibit a significant  
reduction in effective capacitance when a bias is applied.  
The capacitors exhibiting the highest reduction are those  
packaged in the smallest case size.  
3. The components shown in bold, and their connections,  
should all be placed over a complete ground plane.  
4. To prevent large circulating currents from disrupting  
theoutputvoltagesensing, thegroundforeachresistor  
divider should be returned directly to the small signal  
ground pin (GND).  
5. Use of vias in the die attach pad will enhance the ther-  
mal environment of the converter, especially if the vias  
extend to a ground plane region on the exposed bottom  
surface of the PCB.
