The input supply voltage range is 2.5V to 5.5V, making it  
ideal for Li-Ion and USB powered applications. 100% duty  
cyclecapabilityprovideslowdropoutoperation,extending  
the run time in battery-operated systems. Low output  
voltages are supported with the 0.6V feedback reference  
voltage. The LTC3606B can supply 800mA output current.

n
The LTC3606B’s programmable average input current  
limit is ideal for USB applications and for point-of-load  
power supplies because the LTC3606B’s limited input  
current will still allow its output to deliver high peak load  
currentswithoutcollapsingtheinputsupply.Theoperating  
frequency is internally set at 2.25MHz allowing the use of  
smallsurfacemountinductors. Internalsoft-startreduces  
in-rushcurrentduringstart-up. TheLTC3606Bisavailable  
in an 8-Lead 3mm × 3mm DFN package.

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 ±: The switch on-resistance is guaranteed by correlation to wafer  
level measurements.  
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 7: The converter is tested in a proprietary test mode that connects  
the output of the error amplifier to the SW pin, which is connected to an  
external servo loop.  
Note 2: Guaranteed by long term current density limitations.  
Note 3: The LTC3606BE is guaranteed to meet performance specifications  
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating  
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and  
correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3606BI is guaranteed  
to meet specified performance over the full –40°C to 125°C operating  
junction temperature range.  
Note 8: T is calculated from the ambient temperature T and the power  
J

Note 4: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge  
dissipation as follows: T = T + (P )(θ °C/W)

LTC3606B  
OPERATION  
The LTC3606B uses a constant-frequency, current mode  
architecture. The operating frequency is set at 2.25MHz.  
at constant-frequency down to very low currents, where it  
will begin skipping pulses to maintain output regulation.  
This mode of operation exhibits low output ripple as well  
as low audio noise and reduced RF interference while  
providing reasonable low current efficiency.  
The output voltage is set by an external resistor divider  
returned to the V pins. An error amplifier compares the  
FB  
dividedoutputvoltagewithareferencevoltageof0.6Vand  
regulates the peak inductor current accordingly.  
Dropout Operation  
The LTC3606B continuously monitors the input current  
via the voltage drop across the R  
When the input supply voltage decreases toward the  
output voltage the duty cycle increases to 100%, which  
is the dropout condition. In dropout, the PMOS switch is  
turnedoncontinuouslywiththeoutputvoltagebeingequal  
to the input voltage minus the voltage drops across the  
internal P-channel MOSFET and the inductor.

P-channel MOSFET. When the input current exceeds the  
programmedinputcurrentlimitsetbyanexternalresistor,

, theregulator’sinputcurrentislimited. Theregulator  
output voltage will drop to meet output current demand  
and to maintain constant input current.  
An important design consideration is that the R  
DS(ON)  
Main Control Loop  
of the P-channel switch increases with decreasing input  
supplyvoltage(seetheTypicalPerformanceCharacteristics  
section). Therefore, the user should calculate the worst-  
case power dissipation when the LTC3606B is used at  
100% duty cycle with low input voltage (see Thermal  
Considerations in the Applications Information section).  
Duringnormaloperation,thetoppowerswitch(P-channel  
MOSFET) is turned on at the beginning of a clock cycle  
when the V voltage is below the reference voltage. The

When the output is loaded heavily, for example, with  
millifarad of capacitance, it may take longer than 750ꢀs to  
charge the output to regulation. If the output is still low  
after the soft-start time, the LTC3606B will try to quickly  
charge the output capacitor. In this case, the input current  
limit (after it engages) can prevent excessive amount of  
instantaneous current that is required to quickly charge  
the output. See the Start-Up from Shutdown curve  
When the input current limit is engaged, the peak inductor  
current will be lowered, which then reduces the switching  
duty cycle and V . This allows the input voltage to stay

Programming Input Current Limit  
When either regulator output is shorted to ground, the  
corresponding internal N-channel switch is forced on for  
a longer time period for each cycle in order to allow the  
inductor to discharge, thus preventing inductor current  
runaway. This technique has the effect of decreasing  
switching frequency. Once the short is removed, normal  
operation resumes and the regulator output will return to  
its nominal voltage.

The inductor value will also have an effect on Burst Mode  
operation. The transition to low current operation begins  
when the peak inductor current falls below a level set by  
the internal burst clamp. Lower inductor values result in  
higher ripple current which causes the transition to occur  
at lower load currents. This causes a dip in efficiency in  
the upper range of low current operation. Furthermore,  
lower inductance values will cause the bursts to occur  
with increased frequency.

conduction losses during dead-time, and inductor

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
PC Board Laꢀout Considerations  
should be routed away from noisy components and  
traces, such as the SW line (Pin 4), and their trace  
length should be minimized.  
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following  
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of  
the LTC3606B. These items are also illustrated graphically  
in the layout diagrams of Figures 3a and 3b. Check the  
following in your layout:

5. A ground plane is preferred, but if not available, keep  
the signal and power grounds segregated with small  
signal components returning to the GND pin at a single  
point. These ground traces should not share the high  
and GND (Pin 9) as closely as possible? This capacitor  
provides the AC current of the internal power MOSFETs  
and their drivers.

Design Example

very low.  
As a design example, consider using the LTC3606B in a  
The feedback resistors program the output voltage. To  
maintain high efficiency at light loads, the current in these  
resistors should be kept small. Choosing 10ꢀA with the  
0.6V feedback voltage makes R1~60k. A close standard  
1% resistor is 59k. Using Equation (2).

A feedforward capacitor is not used since the 4.4mF  
SuperCap will inhibit any fast output voltage transients.

For the inductor, use the closest standard value of 1.5ꢀH.  
The 4.4mF supercaps are used to deliver the required  
2A pulses to power the RF power amplifiers, while the  
LTC3606B recharges the supercap after the pulse ends,  
see Figure 4c. As for the input capacitor, a typical value
