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.  
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.  
Note 2: The LTC3637 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that  
T ≈ T . The LTC3637E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications  
J
A
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating  
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and  
correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3637I is guaranteed  
over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range, the  
LTC3637H is guaranteed over the –40°C to 150°C operating junction  
temperature range and the LTC3637MP is tested and guaranteed over the  
–55°C to 150°C operating junction temperature range.  
Note 3: The junction temperature (T , in °C) is calculated from the ambient  
J
temperature (T , in °C) and power dissipation (P , in Watts) according to  
A
D
the formula:  
T = T + (P θ )  
JA

where θ is 43°C/W for the DFN or 45°C/W for the MSOP.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS  
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.  
junction temperature may impair device reliability or permanently damage  
the device. The overtemperature protection level is not production tested.  
Note 5: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being  
delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information.  
Note 4: This IC includes over temperature protection that is intended to  
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. The maximum  
rated junction temperature will be exceeded when this protection is active.  
Continuous operation above the specified absolute maximum operating  
Note 6: For application concerned with pin creepage and clearance  
distances at high voltages, the MSOP package should be used. See  
Applications Information.

PIN FUNCTIONS  
SW (Pin 1): Switch Node Connection to Inductor. This  
pin connects to the drains of the internal power MOSFET  
switches.  
I
(Pin 11): Peak Current Set Input and Voltage Output  
SET  
Ripple Filter. A resistor from this pin to ground sets the  
peak current comparator threshold. Leave floating for the  
maximum peak current (2.4A typical) or short to ground  
for minimum peak current (0.24A typical). The maximum  
outputcurrentisone-halfthepeakcurrent.The5µAcurrent  
that is sourced out of this pin when switching, is reduced  
to 1µA in sleep. Optionally, a capacitor can be placed from  
this pin to GND to trade off efficiency for light load output  
voltage ripple. See Applications Information.  
NC (Pins 2, 4, 13, 15 DHC Package Only): No Internal  
Connection. Leave these pins open.  
V
(Pin 3): Main Input Supply Pin. A ceramic bypass  
IN  
capacitor should be tied between this pin and GND.  
FBO (Pin 5): Feedback Comparator Output. The typical  
pull-up current is 20µA. The typical pull- down imped-  
ance is 70Ω.  
OVLO (Pin 12): Overvoltage Lockout Input. Connect to  
the input supply through a resistor divider to set the over-  
voltage lockout level. A voltage on this pin above 1.21V  
disables the internal MOSFET switch. Normal operation  
resumes when the voltage on this pin decreases below  
1.10V. A transient exceeding the OVLO threshold triggers  
a soft-start reset, resulting in a graceful recovery from  
an input supply transient. Connect this pin to ground to  
disable the overvoltage lockout.

plane for optimal thermal performance.  
RUN (Pin 14): Run Control Input. A voltage on this pin  
above 1.21V enables normal operation. Forcing this pin  
below 0.7V shuts down the LTC3637, reducing quiescent  
current to approximately 3µA. Optionally, connect to the  
input supply through a resistor divider to set the under-  
voltage lockout.

(Pin 9): Output Voltage Feedback. When configured  
for an adjustable output voltage, connect to an external  
resistive divider to divide the output voltage down for  
comparison to the 0.8V reference. For the fixed output  
configuration,directlyconnectthispintotheoutputsupply.  
SS (Pin 10): Soft-Start Control Input. A capacitor to  
ground at this pin sets the output voltage ramp time. A  
50µA current initially charges the soft-start capacitor until  
switching begins, at which time the current is reduced to  
its nominal value of 5µA. The output voltage ramp time  
from zero to its regulated value is 1ms for every 16.5nF  
of capacitance from SS to GND. If left floating, the ramp  
time defaults to an internal 0.8ms soft-start.

OPERATION  
The LTC3637 is a step-down DC/DC regulator with an  
internal high side power switch that uses Burst Mode  
control. The low quiescent current and high switching  
frequency results in high efficiency across a wide range  
of load currents. Burst Mode operation functions by us-  
ing short “burst” cycles to switch the inductor current  
through the internal power MOSFET, followed by a sleep  
cycle where the power switch is off and the load current  
is supplied by the output capacitor. During the sleep cycle,  
the LTC3637 draws only 12µA of supply current. At light  
loads, the burst cycles are a small percentage of the total  
cycle time which minimizes the average supply current,  
greatly improving efficiency. Figure 1 shows an example  
of Burst Mode operation. The switching frequency and the  
number of switching cycles during Burst Mode operation  
are dependent on the inductor value, peak current, load  
current, input voltage and output voltage.  
reducing the V pin supply current to only 12µA. As the  
IN  
load current discharges the output capacitor, the voltage  
on the V pin decreases. When this voltage falls 5mV  
FB  
below the 800mV reference, the feedback comparator  
trips and enables burst cycles.  
At the beginning of the burst cycle, the internal high side  
power switch (P-channel MOSFET) is turned on and the  
inductor current begins to ramp up. The inductor current  
increases until either the current exceeds the peak current  
comparatorthresholdorthevoltageontheV pinexceeds  
FB  
800mV, at which time the high side power switch is turned  
off and the external catch diode turns on. The inductor  
current ramps down until the reverse current compara-  
tor trips, signaling that the current is close to zero. If the  
voltage on the V pin is still less than the 800mV refer-  
FB  
ence, the high side power switch is turned on again and  
another cycle commences. The average current during a  
burst cycle will normally be greater than the average load  
current.Forthisarchitecture,themaximumaverageoutput  
current is equal to half of the peak current.

The hysteretic nature of this control architecture results  
in a switching frequency that is a function of the input  
voltage, output voltage, and inductor value. This behavior  
provides inherent short-circuit protection. If the output is  
shorted to ground, the inductor current will decay very  
slowly during a single switching cycle. Since the high side  
switch turns on only when the inductor current is near  
zero,theLTC3637inherentlyswitchesatalowerfrequency

the SS pin to ground. The 5µA current that is sourced  
out of this pin will create a smooth voltage ramp on the  
capacitor. If this ramp rate is slower than the internal  
0.8ms soft-start, then the output voltage will be limited  
by the ramp rate on the SS pin instead. The internal and  
external soft-start functions are reset on start-up and after  
an undervoltage or overvoltage event on the input supply.  
Input Voltage and Overtemperature Protection  
When using the LTC3637, care must be taken not to  
exceed any of the ratings specified in the Absolute Maxi-  
mum Ratings section. As an added safeguard, however,  
the LTC3637 incorporates an overtemperature shutdown  
feature.Ifthejunctiontemperaturereachesapproximately  
180°C, the LTC3637 will enter thermal shutdown mode.  
Both power switches will be turned off and the SW node  
will become high impedance. After the part has cooled  
below 160°C, it will restart. The overtemperature level is  
not production tested.  
The peak inductor current is not limited by the internal or  
external soft-start functions; however, placing a capacitor  
from the I pin to ground does provide this capability.  
SET  
Peak Inductor Current Programming  
The LTC3637 additionally implements protection features  
whichinhibitswitchingwhentheinputvoltageisnotwithin  
a programmed operating range. By using a resistive di-  
vider from the input supply to ground, the RUN and OVLO  
pins can serve as a precise input supply voltage monitor.  
Switching is disabled when either the RUN pin falls below  
1.1V or the OVLO pin rises above 1.21V, which can be  
configured to limit switching to a specific range of input  
supply voltage. Pulling the RUN pin below 700mV forces  
a low quiescent current shutdown (3µA). Furthermore, if  
theinputvoltagefallsbelow3.5Vtypical(3.7Vmaximum),  
an internal undervoltage detector disables switching.  
The peak current comparator nominally limits the peak  
inductor current to 2.4A. This peak inductor current can  
be adjusted by placing a resistor from the I  
pin to  
SET  
ground. The 5µA current sourced out of this pin through  
the resistor generates a voltage that adjusts the peak cur-  
rent comparator threshold.

Whenswitchingisdisabled,theLTC3637cansafelysustain  
input voltages up to the absolute maximum rating of 80V.  
Input supply undervoltage or overvoltage events trigger a  
soft-start reset, which results in a graceful recovery from  
an input supply transient.  
Dropout Operation  
When the input supply decreases toward the output sup-  
ply, the duty cycle increases to maintain regulation. The  
P-channel MOSFET top switch in the LTC3637 allows  
the duty cycle to increase all the way to 100%. At 100%  
duty cycle, the P-channel MOSFET stays on continuously,  
providing output current equal to the peak current, which  
can be greater than 2A. The power dissipation of the  
LTC3637 can increase dramatically during dropout opera-  
tionespeciallyatinputvoltageslessthan10V.Theincreased  
power dissipation is due to higher potential output current  
and increased P-channel MOSFET on-resistance. See  
the Thermal Considerations section of the Applications  
Information for a detailed example.  
High Input Voltage Considerations

ferential of more than 65V, a minimum output load current  
of 10mA is required to maintain a well-regulated output  
voltageunderalloperatingconditions,includingshutdown  
mode. If this 10mA minimum load is not available, then  
the minimum output voltage that can be maintained by  
the LTC3637 is limited to V – 65V.

core loss is independent of core size for a fixed inductor  
value but is very dependent of the inductance selected.  
As the inductance increases, core losses decrease. Un-  
fortunately, increased inductance requires more turns of  
wire and therefore copper losses will increase.

current, and the factor of 1.2 accounts for typical inductor  
tolerance and variation over temperature. For applications  
that have large input supply transients, the OVLO pin can  
be used to disable switching above the maximum operat-

, so that the minimum inductor value  
IN(MAX)  
is not artificially limited by a transient condition. Inductor  
values that violate the above equation will cause the peak  
current to overshoot and permanent damage to the part  
may occur.  
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 satura-  
tion. Ferrite core material saturates “hard,” which means  
that inductance collapses abruptly when the peak design  
current is exceeded. This results in an abrupt increase in  
inductor ripple current and consequently output voltage  
ripple. Do not allow the core to saturate!  
Although the above equation provides the minimum in-  
ductor value, higher efficiency is generally achieved with  
a larger inductor value, which produces a lower switching  
frequency.Foragiveninductortype,however,asinductance

Output Voltage Programming  
The LTC3637 has three fixed output voltage modes that  
can be selected with the V and V pins and an  
adjustable mode. The fixed output modes use an internal  
feedback divider which enables higher efficiency, higher  
noise immunity, and lower output voltage ripple for 5V,  
3.3V and 1.8V applications. To select the fixed 5V output

with minimum reverse leakage current. Low leakage  
Schottky diodes often have larger forward voltage drops  
at a given current, so a trade-off can exist between low  
load and high load efficiency. Often Schottky diodes with  
larger reverse bias ratings will have less leakage at a given  
output voltage than a diode with a smaller reverse bias  
rating. Therefore, superior leakage performance can be  
achieved at the expense of diode size.

Soft-Start  
For applications that do not need a precise external OVLO,  
the OVLO pin can be tied directly to ground. The RUN pin  
in this type of application can be used as an external UVLO  
using the above equations with R5 = 0Ω.  
Soft-start is implemented by ramping the effective refer-  
ence voltage from 0V to 0.8V. To increase the duration of  
soft-start, place a capacitor from the SS pin to ground.  
An internal 5µA pull-up current will charge this capacitor.  
The value of the soft-start capacitor can be calculated by  
the following equation:

The minimum soft-start time is limited to the internal soft-  
start timer of 0.8ms. When the LTC3637 detects a fault  
condition(inputsupplyundervoltageorovertemperature)  
or when the RUN pin falls below 1.1V, or when the OVLO  
pinrisesabove1.21V,theSSpinisquicklypulledtoground  
and the internal soft-start timer is reset. This ensures an  
orderly restart when using an external soft-start capacitor.  
Be aware that the OVLO pin cannot be allowed to exceed  
its absolute maximum rating of 6V. To keep the voltage  
on the OVLO pin from exceeding 6V, the following relation

Inmostapplications,theLTC3637doesnotdissipatemuch

the LTC3637 is running at high ambient temperature with  
low supply voltage and high duty cycles, such as dropout,  
the heat dissipated may exceed the maximum junction  
temperature of the part.  
Efficiency = 100% – (L1 + L2 + L3 + ...)  
where L1, L2, etc. are the individual losses as a percent-

Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce  
losses, two main sources usually account for most of  
To prevent the LTC3637 from exceeding the maximum

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Generally, the worst-case power dissipation is in dropout  
at low input voltage. In dropout, the LTC3637 can provide  
a DC current as high as the full 2.4A peak current to the  
output. At low input voltage, this current flows through a  
higher resistance MOSFET, which dissipates more power.  
Therefore, the minimum inductor requirement is satisfied  
and the 4.7μH inductor value may be used.

PC Board Layout Checklist  
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following  
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of  
the LTC3637. Check the following in your layout:  
1. Large switched currents flow in the power switches  
and input capacitor. The loop formed by these compo-  
nents should be as small as possible. A ground plane  
is recommended to minimize ground impedance.

(minimum space) between pins and paddle on the DHC  
package may not provide sufficient PC board trace clear-  
ance between high and low voltage pins in some higher  
voltage applications. In applications where clearance is  
required, the MSE16 package should be used. The MSE16  
package has removed pins between all the adjacent high  
voltage and low voltage pins, providing 0.657mm clear-  
ance which will be sufficient for most applications. For

3. Keep the switching node, SW, away from all sensitive

4. Flood all unused area on all layers with copper except  
for the area under the inductor. Flooding with copper  
will reduce the temperature rise of power components.
