Theoperatingfrequencyisprogrammablefrom800kHzto  
4MHz with an external resistor. The high frequency capa-  
bility allows the use of small surface mount inductors. For  
switching noise sensitive applications, it can be externally  
synchronized from 800kHz to 4MHz. The PHMODE pin  
allows user control of the phase of the outgoing clock  
signal. The unique constant frequency/controlled on-time  
architecture is ideal for high step-down ratio applications  
that are operating at high frequency while demanding  
fast transient response. Two internal phase-lock loops  
synchronize the internal oscillator to the external clock  
and also servos the regulator on-time to lock on to either  
the internal clock or the external clock if it’s present.

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. Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond  
which the life of a device may be impaired.  
Note 4: The LTC3605 is tested in a feedback loop that adjusts V to  
achieve a specified error amplifier output voltage (ITH).  
FB  
Note 5: T is calculated from the ambient temperature T and  
J
A
power dissipation as follows: T = T + P (37°C/W). See Thermal  
J
A
D
Considerations section.  
Note 2: The LTC3605E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications  
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating  
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation  
with statistical process controls. The LTC3605I is guaranteed over the full  
–40°C to 125°C operating temperature range.  
Note 6: 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: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge  
being delivered at the switching frequency.

pin FuncTions  
RT (Pin 1): Oscillator Frequency Programming Pin. Con-  
nect an external resistor (between 200k to 40k) from RT  
to SGND to program the frequency from 800kHz to 4MHz.  
Since the synchronization range is 30% of set frequency,  
be sure that the set frequency is within this percentage  
range of the external clock to ensure frequency lock.  
V
(Pin 9): On-Time Voltage Input. Voltage trip point for  
ON  
the on-time comparator. Tying this pin to the output volt-  
age makes the on-time proportional to V and keeps the  
OUT  
switching frequency constant at different V . However,

FB (Pin 4): Output Feedback Voltage. Input to the error  
amplifierthatcomparesthefeedbackvoltagetotheinternal

SV (Pin 19): Signal V . Filtered input voltage to the  
IN

on-chip 3.3V regulator. Connect a (1Ω to 10Ω) resistor  
TRACK/SS (Pin 5): Output Tracking and Soft-Start Pin.  
Allows the user to control the rise time of the output volt-  
age. Putting a voltage below 0.6V on this pin bypasses  
the internal reference input to the error amplifier, instead  
it servos the FB pin to the TRACK voltage. Above 0.6V,  
the tracking function stops and the internal reference  
resumes control of the error amplifier. There’s an internal  
between SV and PV and bypass to GND with a 0.1µF

capacitor.  
BOOST (Pin 20): Boosted Floating Driver Supply for Inter-  
nal Top Power MOSFET. The (+) terminal of the bootstrap  
capacitor connects here. This pin swings from a diode

RUN (Pin 7): Run Control Input. Enables chip operation  
by tying RUN above 1.2V. Tying it below 1.1V shuts down  
the part.  
CLKIN (Pin 24): External Synchronization Input to Phase  
Detector.ThispinisinternallyterminatedtoSGNDwith20k.  
The phase-locked loop will force the top power NMOS’s  
turn on signal to be synchronized with the rising edge of  
the CLKIN signal.

Logic. PGOOD is pulled to ground when the voltage on the  
FB pin is not within 10% of the internal 0.6V reference.

The LTC3605 is a current mode monolithic step-down  
regulator. In normal operation, the internal top power  
MOSFET is turned on for a fixed interval determined by  
a one-shot timer, OST. When the top power MOSFET  
turns off, the bottom power MOSFET turns on until the  
Foldback current limiting is provided if the output is

the comparator threshold corresponding to the inductor

its shutdown state, turning off both power MOSFETs and

Once the value for L is known, the type of inductor must  
be selected. Actual core loss is independent of core size

creases, core losses decrease. Unfortunately, increased  
inductance requires more turns of wire and therefore  
copper losses will increase.

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:  
3. Other “hidden” losses such as transition loss and cop-  
per trace and internal load resistances can account for  
additional efficiency degradations in the overall power  
system. It is very important to include these “system”  
level losses in the design of a system. Transition loss  
arises from the brief amount of time the top power  
MOSFET spends in the saturated region during switch  
node transitions. The LTC3605 internal power devices  
switch quickly enough that these losses are not signifi-  
cantcomparedtoothersources. Otherlossesincluding  
diodeconductionlossesduringdead-timeandinductor  
core losses which generally account for less than 2%  
total additional loss.  
% Efficiency = 100%–(L1 + L2 + L3 +…)  
where L1, L2, etc. are the individual losses as a percent-  
age of input power.  
Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce  
losses, three main sources usually account for most of  
the losses in LTC3605 circuits: 1) I R losses, 2) switching  
and biasing losses, 3) other losses.

the internal switches, R , and external inductor, R .

In continuous mode, the average output current flows  
through inductor L but is “chopped” between the

Thermal Considerations

2. The INTV current is the sum of the power MOSFET  
CC  
To avoid the LTC3605 from exceeding the maximum junc-  
tion 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 temperature rise is  
given by:  
driver and control currents. The power MOSFET driver  
current results from switching the gate capacitance of  
thepowerMOSFETs.EachtimeapowerMOSFETgateis

Junction Temperature Measurement  
IN  
with no load is about 11mA, which includes switching  
and internal biasing current loss, transition loss, inductor  
core loss and other losses in the application. Therefore,  
the total power dissipated by the part is:  
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance will vary de-  
pending on the size and amount of heat sinking copper  
on the PCB board where the part is mounted, as well as  
the amount of air flow on the device. One of the ways to  
measure the junction temperature directly is to use the  
internal junction diode on one of the pins (PGOOD) to  
measure its diode voltage change based on ambient  
temperature change. First remove any external passive  
component on the PGOOD pin, then pull out 100µA from  
the PGOOD pin to turn on its internal junction diode and  
bias the PGOOD pin to a negative voltage. With no output  
current load, measure the PGOOD voltage at an ambient  
temperature of 25°C, 75°C and 125°C to establish a slope  
relationship between the delta voltage on PGOOD and  
deltaambienttemperature.Oncethisslopeisestablished,  
then the junction temperature rise can be measured as a  
function of power loss in the package with corresponding  
outputloadcurrent.Keepinmindthatdoingsowillviolate  
absolute maximum voltage ratings on the PGOOD pin,  
however, with the limited current, no damage will result.

TheQFN4mm×4mmpackagejunction-to-ambientthermal  
resistance, θ , is around 37°C/W. Therefore, the junction  
JA  
temperature of the regulator operating in a 25°C ambient  
temperature is approximately:  
T = 1.14W 37°C/W + 25°C = 67°C  
J
Remembering that the above junction temperature is  
obtained from an R  
at 25°C, we might recalculate  
DS(ON)  
the junction temperature based on a higher R  
since  
DS(ON)  
it increases with temperature. Redoing the calculation  
assuming that R increased 15% at 67°C yields a new  
SW  
junction temperature of 72°C. If the application calls for  
a higher ambient temperature and/or higher switching  
frequency, careshouldbetakentoreducethetemperature  
rise of the part by using a heat sink or air flow. Figure 2  
is a temperature derating curve based on the DC1215  
demo board.  
Board Layout Considerations  
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following  
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of  
the LTC3605 (refer to Figure 3). Check the following in  
your layout:
