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 4: The quiescent current in forced continuous mode does not include  
switching loss of the power FETs.  
Note 5: The LTC3621 is tested in a proprietary test mode that connects V  
FB  
to the output of error amplifier.  
Note 2: Transient absolute maximum voltages should not be applied for  
more than ±0 of the switching duty cycle.  
Note 6: T is calculated from the ambient, T , and power dissipation, P ,  
according to the following formula:  
J
A
D
Note 3: The LTC3621 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that  
T = T + (P θ )

Note 7: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended

T ≈ T . The LTC3621E is guaranteed to meet specifications from

A
4°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –±4°C to  
125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,  
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The  
LTC3621I is guaranteed over the –±4°C to 125°C operating junction  
temperature range, and the LTC3621H is guaranteed over the –±4°C to  
154°C operating junction temperature range. High junction temperatures  
degrade operating lifetimes; operating lifetime is derated for junction  
temperatures greater than 125°C. Note that the maximum ambient  
temperature consistent with these specifications is determined by specific  
operating conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package  
thermal impedance and other environmental factors.  
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction  
temperature will exceed 154°C when overtemperature protection is active.  
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction  
temperature may impair device reliability.

operaTion

and regulates with ultralow quiescent current. The opera-  
tion frequency is set at either 2.25MHz or 1MHz and can  
be synchronized to an external oscillator ±±40 of the  
inherent frequency. To suit a variety of applications, the  
selectable MODE/SYNC pin allows the user to trade off  
output ripple for efficiency.  
operation, the peak inductor current is set to be at least  
±44mA, even if the output of the error amplifier demands  
less.Thus,whentheswitcherisonatrelativelylightoutput  
loads, FB voltage will rise and cause the ITH voltage to  
drop. Once the ITH voltage goes below 4.2V, the switcher  
goes into its sleep mode with both power switches off.  
The switcher remains in this sleep state until the external  
load pulls the output voltage below its regulation point.  
During sleep mode, the part draws an ultralow 3.5µA of  
The output voltage is set by an external divider returned to  
the FB pin. An error amplifier compares the divided output  
voltage with a reference voltage of 4.6V and adjusts the  
peak inductor current accordingly. In the MS8E package,  
overvoltage and undervoltage comparators will pull the  
PGOOD output low if the output voltage is not within 7.50  
of the programmed value. The PGOOD output will go high  
immediately after achieving regulation and will go low 32  
clock cycles after falling out of regulation.  
quiescent current from V .  
IN  
To minimize V  
ripple, pulse-skipping mode can be se-  
OUT  
lected by grounding the MODE/SYNC pin. In the LTC3621,  
pulse-skipping mode is implemented similarly to Burst  
Mode operation with the peak inductor current set to be  
at about 66mA. This results in lower output voltage ripple  
than in Burst Mode operation with the trade-off being  
slightly lower efficiency.  
Main Control Loop  
Duringnormaloperation,thetoppowerswitch(P-channel  
MOSFET) is turned on at the beginning of a clock cycle.  
The inductor current is allowed to ramp up to a peak level.  
Once that level is reached, the top power switch is turned  
off and the bottom switch (N-channel MOSFET) is turned  
on until the next clock cycle. The peak current level is con-  
trolledbytheinternallycompensatedITHvoltage,whichis  
the output of the error amplifier. This amplifier compares  
the FB voltage to the 4.6V internal reference. When the  
load current increases, the FB voltage decreases slightly  
below the reference, which causes the error amplifier to  
increase the ITH voltage until the average inductor current  
matches the new load current.  
Forced Continuous Mode Operation  
Aside from the two discontinuous-conduction modes,  
the LTC3621 also has the ability to operate in the forced  
continuous mode by setting the MODE/SYNC voltage  
between 1V and V  
– 1V. In forced continuous mode,  
INTVCC  
the switcher will switch cycle by cycle regardless of what  
the output load current is. If forced continuous mode is  
selected, the minimum peak current is set to be –133mA  
in order to ensure that the part can operate continuously  
at zero output load.  
High Duty Cycle/Dropout Operation  
Whentheinputsupplyvoltagedecreasestowardstheoutput  
voltage, the duty cycle increases and slope compensation  
is required to maintain the fixed switching frequency. The  
LTC3621 has internal circuitry to accurately maintain the

Twodiscontinuous-conductionmodes(DCMs)areavailable  
to control the operation of the LTC3621 at low currents.  
Both modes, Burst Mode operation and pulse-skipping,  
automatically switch from continuous operation to the  
selected mode when the load current is low.  
As the duty cycle approaches 1440, the LTC3621 enters  
dropout operation. During dropout, if force continuous  
mode is selected, the top PMOS switch is turned on  
continuously, and all active circuitry is kept alive. How-  
ever, if Burst Mode operation or pulse-skipping mode is

reduces the quiescent current, thus prolonging the use  
of the input supply.

More capacitance may be required depending on the duty  
cycle and load-step requirements. In most applications,  
the input capacitor is merely required to supply high  
frequency bypassing, since the impedance to the supply  
is very low. A 14μF ceramic capacitor is usually enough  
for these conditions. Place this input capacitor as close  
to the V

Output Power Good  
In the MS8E package, when the LTC3621’s output voltage  
is within the ±7.50 window of the regulation point, the  
output voltage is good and the PGOOD pin is pulled high  
withanexternalresistor.Otherwise,aninternalopen-drain  
pull-down device (275Ω) will pull the PGOOD pin low.

Using Ceramic Input and Output Capacitors  
Higher values, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now  
becoming available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple  
current, high voltage rating and low ESR make them ideal  
for switching regulator applications. However, care must  
be taken when these capacitors are used at the input and  
output. When a ceramic capacitor is used at the input  
and the power is supplied by a wall adapter through long  
wires, a load step at the output can induce ringing at the

Checking Transient Response  
Lower ripple current reduces power losses in the inductor,  
ESR losses in the output capacitors and output voltage  
ripple. Highest efficiency operation is obtained at low  
frequency with small ripple current. However, achieving  
this requires a large inductor. There is a trade-off between  
component size, efficiency and operating frequency.

The initial output voltage step may not be within the  
bandwidth of the feedback loop, so the standard second  
order overshoot/DC ratio cannot be used to determine  
phase margin. In addition, a feedforward capacitor can  
be added to improve the high frequency response, as

Once the value for L is known, the type of inductor must  
be selected. Actual core loss is independent of core size  
for a fixed inductor value, but is very dependent on the  
inductance selected. As the inductance or frequency in-  
creases, core losses decrease. Unfortunately, increased  
inductance requires more turns of wire and therefore  
copper losses will increase. Copper losses also increase  
as frequency increases.

the phase margin.  
The output voltage settling behavior is related to the sta-  
bility of the closed-loop system and will demonstrate the  
actual overall supply performance. LTpowerCAD™ and  
LTSpice® can be used to check control loop and transient  
performance.  
Ferrite designs have very low core losses and are pre-  
ferred at high switching frequencies, so design goals can  
concentrate on copper loss and preventing saturation.  
Ferrite core material saturates “hard”, which means that

ripple current and consequent output voltage ripple. Do

Efficiency Considerations  
1. I R losses are calculated from the DC resistances of  
the internal switches, R , and external inductor, R .  
SW  
L
The percent efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to  
the output power divided by the input power times 1440.  
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:  
In continuous mode, the average output current flows  
through inductor L but is “chopped” between the  
internal top and bottom power MOSFETs. Thus, the  
series resistance looking into the SW pin is a function  
of both top and bottom MOSFET R  
cycle (DC) as follows:  
and the duty

where Loss1, Loss2, etc. are the individual losses as a  
percentageofinputpower.Althoughalldissipativeelements  
in the circuit produce losses, three main sources usually

2. The switching current is the sum of the MOSFET driver  
andcontrolcurrents.ThepowerMOSFETdrivercurrent  
resultsfromswitchingthegatecapacitanceofthepower  
MOSFETs. Each time a power MOSFET gate is switched  
from low to high to low again, a packet of charge dQ  
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:

As an example, consider the case when the LTC3621  
is used in applications where V = 12V, I = 1A,

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 LTC3621 internal power devices  
switch quickly enough that these losses are not sig-  
nificant compared to other sources. These losses plus  
other losses, including diode conduction losses during  
dead-time and inductor core losses, generally account  
for less than 20 total additional loss.  
The V current during 2.25MHz force continuous opera-  
IN  
tion with no load is about 5mA, 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:

TheDFN2mm× 3mmpackagejunction-to-ambientthermal  
resistance, θ , is around 6±°C/W. Therefore, the junction

temperature of the regulator operating in a 25°C ambient  
Thermal Conditions  
temperature is approximately:  
In a majority of applications, the LTC3621 does not dis-  
sipatemuchheatduetoitshighefficiencyandlowthermal  
resistance of its exposed pad package. However, in ap-  
plications where the LTC3621 is running at high ambient  
T = 0.243W • 64°C/W + 25°C = 40.6°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)  
temperature, high V , high switching frequency, and  
IN  
it increases with temperature. Redoing the calculation  
maximum output current load, the heat dissipated may  
exceed the maximum junction temperature of the part. If  
the junction temperature reaches approximately 164°C,  
bothpowerswitcheswillbeturnedoffuntilthetemperature  
drops about 15°C cooler.  
assuming that R increased 50 at ±4.6°C yields a new  
SW  
junction temperature of ±1.1°C. If the application calls  
for a higher ambient temperature and/or higher switching  
frequency, care should be takentoreducethe temperature  
rise of the part by using a heat sink or forced air flow.  
To avoid the LTC3621 from exceeding the maximum junc-  
tion temperature, the user will need to do some thermal

When laying out the printed circuit board, the following  
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of  
the LTC3621 (refer to Figure 3). Check the following in  
your layout:  
be routed away from the SW trace and the inductor.  
6. A ground plane is preferred.  
7. Flood all unused areas on all layers with copper, which  
reduces the temperature rise of power components.  
These copper areas should be connected to GND.
