FEATURES  
DESCRIPTIO  
The LTC®3704 is a wide input range, current mode,  
positive-to-negative DC/DC controller that drives an  
N-channel power MOSFET and requires very few external  
components.Intendedforlowtohighpowerapplications,  
it eliminates the need for a current sense resistor by  
utilizingthepowerMOSFET’son-resistance,therebymaxi-  
mizing efficiency.  
High Efficiency Operation (No Sense  
Resistor Required)  
Wide Input Voltage Range: 2.5V to 36V  
Current Mode Control Provides Excellent Transient  
Response  
High Maximum Duty Cycle (Typ 92%)  
±1% Internal Voltage Reference  
±2% RUN Pin Threshold with 100mV Hysteresis  
Micropower Shutdown: IQ = 10μA  
The IC’s operating frequency can be set with an external  
resistorovera50kHzto1MHzrange, andcanbesynchro-  
nized to an external clock using the MODE/SYNC pin.  
Burst Mode operation at light loads, a low minimum  
operating supply voltage of 2.5V and a low shutdown  
quiescent current of 10μA make the LTC3704 ideally  
suited for battery-operated systems.  
Programmable Switching Frequency  
(50kHz to 1MHz) with One External Resistor  
Synchronizable to an External Clock Up to 1.3 × fOSC  
User-Controlled Pulse Skip or Burst Mode® Operation  
Internal 5.2V Low Dropout Voltage Regulator  
Capable of Operating with a Sense Resistor for High  
Output Voltage Applications (VDS >36V)  
For applications requiring constant frequency operation,  
the Burst Mode operation feature can be defeated using  
the MODE/SYNC pin. Higher than 36V switch voltage  
applicationsarepossiblewiththeLTC3704byconnecting  
the SENSE pin to a resistor in the source of the power  
MOSFET.

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  
reliabilty and lifetime.  
Note 4: The dynamic input supply current is higher due to power MOSFET  
gate charging (Q • f ). See Applications Information.

Note 5: The LTC3704 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V

TH  
Note 2: The LTC3704E 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 LTC3704I is guaranteed over the full  
–40°C to 125°C operating temperature range.  
(the no load to full load operating voltage range for the I pin is 0.3V to  
1.23V).  
Note 6: In a synchronized application, the internal slope compensation  
gain is increased by 25%. Synchronizing to a significantly higher ratio will  
reduce the effective amount of slope compensation, which could result in  
subharmonic oscillation for duty cycles greater than 50%.

RUN (Pin 1): The RUN pin provides the user with an  
accurate means for sensing the input voltage and pro-  
gramming the start-up threshold for the converter. The  
falling RUN pin threshold is nominally 1.248V and the  
comparatorhas100mVofhysteresisfornoiseimmunity.  
When the RUN pin is below this input threshold, the IC is  
shut down and the VIN supply current is kept to a low  
value (typ 10μA). The Absolute Maximum Rating for the  
voltage on this pin is 7V.

rent comparator input threshold increases with this  
control voltage. Nominal voltage range for this pin is 0V  
to 1.40V.  
NFB (Pin 3): Receives the feedback voltage from the  
external resistor divider across the output. Nominal  
voltage for this pin in regulation is –1.230V.  
VIN (Pin 9): Main Supply Pin. Must be closely decoupled  
to ground.  
SENSE (Pin 10): The Current Sense Input for the Control  
Loop. Connect this pin to the drain of the power MOSFET  
for VDS sensing and highest efficiency. Alternatively, the  
SENSE pin may be connected to a resistor in the source  
of the power MOSFET. Internal leading edge blanking is  
provided for both sensing methods.  
FREQ (Pin 4): A resistor from the FREQ pin to ground  
programs the operating frequency of the chip. The nomi-  
nal voltage at the FREQ pin is 0.62V.

and can be controlled over a 50kHz to 1000kHz range. In  
addition, the internal oscillator can be synchronized to an  
external clock applied to the MODE/SYNC pin and can be  
locked to a frequency between 100% and 130% of its  
nominal value. When the MODE/SYNC pin is left open, it is  
pulled low by an internal 50k resistor and Burst Mode  
operation is enabled. If this pin is taken above 2V or an  
external clock is applied, Burst Mode operation is disabled  
and the IC operates in continuous mode. With no load (or  
an extremely light load), the controller will skip pulses in  
order to maintain regulation and prevent excessive output  
ripple.  
The LTC3704 is a constant frequency, current mode  
controller for DC/DC positive-to-negative converter appli-  
cations. The LTC3704 is distinguished from conventional  
current mode controllers because the current control loop  
can be closed by sensing the voltage drop across the  
power MOSFET switch instead of across a discrete sense  
resistor, as shown in Figure 2. This sensing technique  
improves efficiency, increases power density, and re-  
duces the cost of the overall solution.

The LTC3704 can be used either by sensing the voltage

efficiency and minimizes the component count, but limits  
the output voltage to the maximum rating for this pin

inductor current will therefore rise until it equals the load  
current, thereby maintaining output regulation.  
Programming the Operating Mode  
For applications where maximizing the efficiency at very  
light loads (e.g., <100μA) is a high priority, Burst Mode  
operation should be applied (i.e., the MODE/SYNC pin  
should be connected to ground). In applications where  
fixed frequency operation is more critical than low cur-  
rent efficiency, or where the lowest output ripple is  
desired, pulse-skip mode operation should be used and  
the MODE/SYNC pin should be connected to the INTVCC  
pin. This allows discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)  
operation down to near the limit defined by the chip’s

current level, the converter will begin to skip cycles in  
ordertomaintainoutputregulation.Figures3and4show  
the light load switching waveforms for Burst Mode and  
Pulse-Skip Mode operation for the converter in Figure 1.  
buffered ITH burst clamp is removed, allowing the ITH pin  
to directly control the current comparator from no load to  
full load. With no load, the ITH pin is driven below 0.30V,  
the power MOSFET is turned off and sleep mode is  
invoked. Oscilloscopewaveformsillustratingthismodeof  
operation are shown in Figure 4.  
Burst Mode Operation  
MODE/SYNC = INTVCC  
(PULSE-SKIP MODE)  
Burst Mode operation is selected by leaving the MODE/  
SYNC pin unconnected or by connecting it to ground. In  
normal operation, the range on the ITH pin corresponding  
to no load to full load is 0.30V to 1.2V. In Burst Mode  
operation, if the error amplifier EA drives the ITH voltage  
below 0.525V, the buffered ITH input to the current com-  
parator C1 will be clamped at 0.525V (which corresponds  
to 25% of maximum load current). The inductor current  
peak is then held at approximately 30mV divided by the  
power MOSFET RDS(ON). If the ITH pin drops below 0.30V,  
the Burst Mode comparator B1 will turn off the power  
MOSFET and scale back the quiescent current of the IC to  
250μA(sleepmode).Inthiscondition,theloadcurrentwill  
be supplied by the output capacitor until the ITH voltage  
rises above the 50mV hysteresis of the burst comparator.  
At light loads, short bursts of switching (where the aver-  
age inductor current is 25% of its maximum value) fol-  
lowed by long periods of sleep will be observed, thereby  
greatlyimprovingconverterefficiency.Oscilloscopewave-

The LTC3704 uses a constant frequency architecture that  
can be programmed over a 50kHz to 1000kHz range with  
a single external resistor from the FREQ pin to ground, as  
shown in Figure 1. The nominal voltage on the FREQ pin is  
0.6V, and the current that flows into the FREQ pin is used  
to charge and discharge an internal oscillator capacitor. A  
graph for selecting the value of RT for a given operating  
frequency is shown in Figure 6.  
Figure 7. Bypassing the LDO Regulator and Gate Driver Supply  
For input voltages that don’t exceed 7V (the absolute  
maximum rating for this pin), the internal low dropout  
regulator in the LTC3704 is redundant and the INTVCC pin  
can be shorted directly to the VIN pin. With the INTVCC pin  
shorted to VIN, however, the divider that programs the  
regulated INTVCC voltage will draw 10μA of current from  
theinputsupply, eveninshutdownmode. Forapplications  
that require the lowest shutdown mode input supply  
current, do not connect the INTVCC pin to VIN. Regardless  
of whether the INTVCC pin is shorted to VIN or not, it is  
always necessary to have the driver circuitry bypassed  
with a 4.7μF tantalum or low ESR ceramic capacitor to  
ground immediately adjacent to the INTVCC and GND

PIC = VIN • (IQ + f • QG)

where VREF = –1.230V, and INFB is the current which flows  
out of the NFB pin (INFB = –7.5μA). In order to properly  
dimension R2, including the effect of the NFB pin current,  
the following formula can be used:  
The total quiescent current IQ(TOT) consists of the static  
supply current (IQ) and the current required to charge and  
discharge the gate of the power MOSFET. The 10-pin  
MSOP package has a thermal resistance of RTH(JA)

As an example, consider a power supply with VIN = 5V and  
VSW(MAX) = 12V. The switching frequency is 500kHz, and  
the maximum ambient temperature is 70°C. The power  
MOSFET chosen is the IRF7805, which has a maximum  
RDS(ON) of 11mΩ (at room temperature) and a maximum  
total gate charge of 37nC (the temperature coefficient of  
the gate charge is low).

The nominal 7.5μA current which flows out of the NFB pin  
has a production tolerance of approximately±2.5μA, so an  
output divider current of 500μA (R1 = 2.49k) results in a  
0.5% uncertainty in the output voltage. For low power  
applications where the output voltage tolerance is less  
important, efficiency can be increased by increasing the  
value of R1.  
IQ(TOT) = 600μA + 37nC • 500kHz = 19.1mA  
PIC = 5V • 19.1mA = 95mW  
TJ = 70°C + 120°C/W • 95mW = 81.4°C

The LTC3704 contains an independent, micropower volt-  
age reference and comparator detection circuit that re-  
mains active even when the device is shut down, as shown  
in Figure 8. This allows users to accurately program an  
input voltage at which the converter will turn on and off.  
The falling threshold voltage on the RUN pin is equal to the  
internal reference voltage of 1.248V. The comparator has  
100mV of hysteresis to increase noise immunity.  
Topreventthemaximumjunctiontemperaturefrombeing  
exceeded, the input supply current must be checked when  
operating in a continuous mode at high VIN. A tradeoff  
between the operating frequency and the size of the power  
MOSFET may need to be made in order to maintain a  
reliable IC junction temperature. Prior to lowering the  
operating frequency, however, be sure to check with  
power MOSFET manufacturers for their latest-and-great-

Peak and Average Input and Switch Currents  
A simple positive-to-negative application circuit for the  
LTC3704 is shown in Figure 1. The basic operation of this  
circuit is shown in Figure 9. During the on-time the  
inductor currents flow through the switch, and during the  
off-timethesecurrentsflowthroughtheoutputdiode. The  
use of inductors in series with both the input and output  
results in continuous currents in these capacitors, result-  
ing in low input and output noise. Discontinuous currents  
flow in the switch, the coupling capacitor, and the diode.  
The control loop in the LTC3704 is measuring the peak  
switch current (either by using the RDS(ON) of the power  
MOSFET or by using a sense resistor in the MOSFET  
source), so the output current needs to be reflected back  
totheswitchinordertodimensionthepowerMOSFETand

this ramp compensation is internal. Having an internally  
fixed ramp compensation waveform, however, does place  
some constraints on the value of the inductor and the  
operating frequency. If too large an inductor is used, the  
resulting current ramp (ΔIL) will be small relative to the

Inductor Selection  
Since the control loop is looking at the switch current, and  
since the internal slope compensation is acting on this  
switch current, the ripple current percentage should be  
between 20% and 40% of the maximum average current  
at VIN(MIN) and IO(MAX). This corresponds to a value of “χ”  
intheequationsabovebetween0.20and0.40. Expressing  
this ripple current as a function of the output current  
results in the following equation for calculating the induc-  
tor value:  
Selecting inductors for a positive-to-negative converter is  
slightlymorecomplicatedthanforasingle-inductortopol-  
ogy like a buck or boost. The use of separate, uncoupled  
inductors can reduce the size of the solution, at the  
expense of input and output ripple. Using a coupled  
inductor complicates the design procedure, but can result  
in significantly lower input and/or output ripple. It will also  
reduce the number of components that the purchasing  
department has to keep track of.

Regardless of the design goals, however, the inductor

No RSENSE technology in order to improve efficiency and

Operating in Discontinuous Mode  
Discontinuous mode operation occurs when the load  
current is low enough to allow the inductor current to run  
out during the off-time of the switch, as shown in  
Figure 10. Once the inductor current is near zero, the  
switch and diode capacitances resonate with the induc-  
tance to form damped ringing at 1MHz to 10MHz. If the  
off-time is long enough, the drain voltage will settle to the  
input voltage.

During the switch on-time, the control circuit limits the  
maximum voltage drop across the power MOSFET to  
150mV (at low duty cycles). The peak switch current is  
therefore limited to 150mV/RDS(ON). The relationship be-  
tween the maximum load current, the duty cycle and the  
RDS(ON) of the power MOSFET is:  
Depending on the input voltage and the residual energy in  
the inductor, this ringing can cause the drain of the power

Another method of choosing which power MOSFET to use  
is to check the maximum output current for a given  
RDS(ON), since MOSFET on-resistances are generally  
available in discrete values.

Calculating Power MOSFET Switching and Conduction  
Losses and Junction Temperatures  
Inordertocalculatethejunctiontemperatureofthepower  
MOSFET, the power dissipated by the device must be  
known. This power dissipation is a function of the duty  
cycle, the load current and the junction temperature itself  
(duetothepositivetemperaturecoefficientofitsRDS(ON)).  
From a known power dissipated in the power MOSFET, its  
junction temperature can be obtained using the following  
formula:

The RTH(JA) to be used in this equation normally includes  
the RTH(JC) for the device plus the thermal resistance from  
the case to the ambient temperature (RTH(CA)). This value  
of TJ can then be compared to the original, assumed value  
used in the iterative calculation process.

Output Diode Selection  
To maximize efficiency, a fast switching diode with low  
forward drop and low reverse leakage is desired. The  
output diode in a positive-to-negative converter conducts  
current during the switch off-time. The peak reverse  
voltage that the diode must withstand is equal to VIN(MAX)  
– VO. The average forward current in normal operation is  
equal to the output current, and the peak current is equal  
to the peak inductor current.

The output ripple voltage appears as a triangular wave-

The voltage on the coupling capacitor in a positive-to-

due to the ripple currents in the inductors. Generally, the  
DC coupling capacitor is dimensioned based on the high  
RMS ripple which flows in it, as shown in Figure 13.  
The ESR can be minimized by using high quality, X5R- or  
X7R-dielectric ceramic capacitor in parallel with a larger  
value tantalum or aluminum electrolytic bulk capacitor.

capacitor alone will be sufficient.

It should be noted that these equations assume no cou-  
plingbetweentheinductors. Iftheinductorsarewoundon  
the same core, the ripple currents at the input and output  
can be tuned to very low values, and so the equations  
above would be extremely conservative. It is highly rec-  
ommended that the user experiment in the lab with the  
same magnetics and capacitors which will be used in  
production.  
Manufacturers such as Nichicon, United Chemicon and  
Sanyoshouldbeconsideredforhighperformancethrough-  
hole capacitors. The OS-CON semiconductor dielectric  
capacitor available from Sanyo has the lowest product of  
ESR and size of any aluminum electrolytic, at a somewhat  
higher price.  
In surface mount applications, multiple capacitors may  
have to be placed in parallel in order to meet the ESR or  
RMS current handling requirements of the application.  
Note that the ripple current ratings from capacitor manu-  
facturers are often based on only 2000 hours of life. This

causes the inductor current to quickly decay to zero.  
However, because ΔIL is small, it takes multiple cycles for  
the current to ramp back up to IBURST(PEAK). During this  
inductor charging interval, the output capacitor must  
supply the load current and a significant droop in the  
output voltage can occur. Generally, it is a good idea to  
choose a value of inductor ΔIL between 20% and 40% of  
Aluminum electrolytic and dry tantalum capacitors are  
both available in surface mount packages. In the case of  
tantalum, it is critical that the capacitors have been surge  
tested for use in switching power supplies. An excellent  
choice is AVX TPS series of surface mount tantalum. Also,  
ceramic capacitors are now available with extremely low  
ESR, ESL and high ripple current ratings.

the input capacitor, which is typically in the range of 10μF  
to 100μF. A low ESR capacitor is recommended, although  
it is not as critical as for the output capacitor.  
Burst Mode operation can be defeated by connecting the  
MODE/SYNC pin to a high logic-level voltage (either with  
a control input or by connecting this pin to INTVCC). In this  
mode, the burst clamp is removed, and the chip can  
operate at constant frequency from continuous conduc-  
tion mode (CCM) at full load, down into deep discontinu-  
ous conduction mode (DCM) at light load. Prior to skip-  
pingpulsesatverylightload(i.e., <5-10%offullload), the  
controller will operate with a minimum switch on-time in  
DCM. Pulse skipping prevents a loss of control of the  
output at very light loads and reduces output voltage  
ripple.

Please note that the input capacitor can see a very high

specify surge-tested capacitors!  
Checking Transient Response  
Burst Mode Operation and Considerations  
The regulator loop response can be verified by looking at  
the load transient response. Switching regulators gener-  
ally take several cycles to respond to an instantaneous  
step in resistive load current. When the load step occurs,

2. BewareofgroundloopsinmultiplelayerPCboards. Try  
to maintain one central ground node on the board and  
use the input capacitor to avoid excess input ripple for  
high output current power supplies. If the ground plane  
is to be used for high DC currents, choose a path away  
from the small-signal components.  
6. Place the small-signal components away from high  
frequency switching nodes. In the layout shown in  
Figure22,allofthesmall-signalcomponentshavebeen  
placed on one side of the IC and all of the power  
components have been placed on the other. This also  
allows the use of a pseudo-Kelvin connection for the  
signal ground, where high di/dt gate driver currents  
flow out of the IC ground pin in one direction (to the  
bottom plate of the INTVCC decoupling capacitor) and  
small-signal currents flow in the other direction.  
3. Place the CVCC capacitor immediately adjacent to the  
INTVCC and GND pins on the IC package. This capacitor  
carries high di/dt MOSFET gate drive currents. A low  
ESR X5R-dielectric 4.7μF ceramic capacitor works well  
here.  
7. If a sense resistor is used in the source of the power  
MOSFET,minimizethecapacitancebetweentheSENSE  
pin trace and any high frequency switching nodes. The  
LTC3704 contains an internal leading edge blanking  
time of approximately 180ns, which should be ad-  
equate for most applications.  
4. Thehighdi/dtloopfromthedrainofthepowerMOSFET,  
through the coupling capacitor and back through the  
diode to ground should be kept as tight as possible to  
reduce inductive ringing. Excess inductance can cause  
increasedstressonthepowerMOSFETandincreaseHF  
noise on the drain node. It is also important to keep the  
cathodeofthediodeascloseaspossibletotheMOSFET  
source or the bottom of the sense resistor.  
8. For optimum load regulation and true remote sensing,  
the top of the output resistor divider should connect  
independently to the top of the output capacitor (Kelvin  
connection), staying away from any high dV/dt traces.  
Place the divider resistors near the LTC3704 in order to  
keep the high impedance FB node short.  
5. Check the stress on the power MOSFET by measuring  
its drain-to-source voltage directly across the device  
terminals(referencethegroundofasinglescopeprobe  
directly to the source pad on the PC board). Beware of  
inductiveringingwhichcanexceedthemaximumspeci-  
fied voltage rating of the MOSFET. If this ringing cannot  
be avoided and exceeds the maximum rating of the  
device, either choose a higher voltage device or specify  
an avalanche-rated power MOSFET. Not all MOSFETs  
are created equal (some are more equal than others).  
9. For applications with multiple switching power con-  
verters connected to the same input supply, make sure  
that the input filter capacitor for the LTC3704 is not  
shared with other converters. AC input current from  
anotherconvertercouldcausesubstantialinputvoltage  
ripple, and this could interfere with the operation of the  
LTC3704. A few inches of PC trace or wire (L 100nH)  
between the CIN of the LTC3704 and the actual source  
VIN should be sufficient to prevent current sharing  
problems.
