Buck-Boost Controller  
FeaTures  
DescripTion  
The LTC®3785 is a high power synchronous buck-boost  
controller that drives all N-channel power MOSFETs from  
input voltages above, below and equal to the output volt-  
age. With an input range of 2.7V to 10V, the LTC3785 is  
well suited for a wide variety of single or dual cell Li-Ion  
or multicell alkaline/NiMH applications.

Output Overvoltage and Undervoltage Protection  
Programmable Frequency: 100kHz to 1MHz  
Selectable Burst Mode® Operation  
The operating frequency can be programmed from  
100kHz to 1MHz. The soft-start time and current limit are  
also programmable. The soft-start capacitor doubles as  
the fault timer which can program the IC to latch off or  
recycle after a determined off time. Burst Mode opera-  
tion is user controlled and can be enabled by driving the  
MODE pin high.  
Available in 24-Lead (4mm × 4mm) Exposed Pad  
QFN Package  
Protection features include foldback current limit, short-  
circuit and overvoltage protection.

pin FuncTions  
RUN/SS (Pin 1): Run Control and Soft-Start Input. An  
internal 1µA charges the soft-start capacitor and will  
charge to approximately 2.5V. During a current limit fault,  
the soft-start capacitor will incrementally discharge. Once  
the pin drops below 1.225V the IC will enter fault mode,  
turning off the outputs for 32 times the soft-start time. If  
>5µA (at RUN/SS = 1.225V) is applied externally, the part  
will latch off after a fault is detected. If >40µA (at RUN/SS  
= 1.225V) is applied externally, current limit faults will not  
discharge the SS capacitor.  
V (Pin 2): Error Amp Output. A frequency compensa-  
C

compensate the loop. See Closing the Feedback Loop in  
the Applications Information section for guidelines.  
FB (Pin 3): Feedback Pin. Connect resistor divider tap

Once the voltage between I

of the voltage loop, resulting in a lower output voltage  
to regulate the input current. This fault condition causes  
the RUN/SS capacitor to begin discharging. The level of  
the discharge current depends on how much the current  
exceeds the programmed threshold. Figure 3 is a simpli-  
fied diagram of the current sense and fault circuitry. If the  
current limit fault duration is long enough to discharge the  
RUN/SS capacitor below 1.225V, the fault latch is set and  
will cycle the RUN/SS capacitor 16 times (1µA charging

The error amplifier is a voltage mode amplifier with a

SCHOTTKY DIODE (D1, D2) SELECTION  
Optional Schottky diodes D1 and D2 shown in the Block  
Diagramconductduringthedeadtimebetweentheconduc-

prevent the body diode of synchronous switches B and D  
from turning on and storing charge during the dead time.  
In particular, D2 significantly reduces reverse recovery

CLOSING THE FEEDBACK LOOP  
A simple Type I compensation network (Figure 5) can be  
incorporated to stabilize the loop but at a cost of reduced  
bandwidthandslowertransientresponse.Toensureproper  
phase margin, the loop must cross over almost a decade  
before the L-C double pole.

EFFICIENCY CONSIDERATIONS  
switch C causes reverse recovery current loss in boost  
mode.Whenmakingadjustmentstoimproveefficiency,  
the input current is the best indicator of changes in  
efficiency. If you make a change and the input current  
decreases, then the efficiency has increased. If there  
is no change in input current, then there is no change  
in efficiency.  
The percentage efficiency of a switching regulator is  
equal to 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. Although all dissipative  
elements in circuits produce losses, four main sources  
account for most of the losses in LTC3785 application  
circuits:  
5. V regulator loss. In applications where the input  
CC  
voltage is above 5V, such as two Li-Ion cells, the V  
CC  
regulator will dissipate some power due the differential  
voltage and the average output current to the drive the  
2
gates of the output switches. The V pin can be driven  
1. DC I R losses. These arise from the resistances of the  
CC  
directly from a high efficiency external 5V source if  
desired to incrementally improve overall efficiency at  
lighter loads.  
MOSFETs, sensing resistor (if used), inductor and PC  
board traces and cause the efficiency to drop at high  
output currents.  
2. Transition loss. This loss arises from the brief voltage  
transition time of switch A or switch C. It depends upon  
theswitchvoltage,inductorcurrent,driverstrengthand  
MOSFET capacitance, among other factors.  
DESIGN EXAMPLE  
As a design example, assume V = 2.7V to 10V (3.6V  
nominal Li-Ion with 9V adapter), V  
I = 3A and f = 500kHz.
