Pulse Skipping at Light Load  
The LTC3872-1 provides excellent AC and DC load and  
line regulation with 1.ꢀ5 output voltage accuracy. It  
incorporates an undervoltage lockout feature that shuts  
down the device when the input voltage falls below 2.3V.

LTC3872-1 has the same functionality as the standard  
LTC3872 except that it has no frequency foldback in cur-  
rent limit.  
Low Profile (1mm) SOT-23 and 2mm × 3mm DFN  
Packages  
High switching frequency of ꢀꢀ0kHz allows the use of a  
small inductor. The LTC3872-1 is available in an 8-lead  
low profile (1mm) ThinSOTTM package and 8-pin 2mm ×  
3mm DFN package.

from 0°C to 8ꢀ°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 8ꢀ°C operating  
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and  
correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3872-1I is guaranteed  
over the –40°C to 12ꢀ°C operating junction temperature range. The  
LTC3872-1H is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 1ꢀ0°C operating junction  
temperature range. 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.

Under very light load current conditions, the I pin volt-

age will be very close to the zero current level of 0.8ꢀV.  
As the load current decreases further, an internal offset at  
the current comparator input will assure that the current  
comparatorremainstripped(evenatzeroloadcurrent)and  
the regulator will start to skip cycles, as it must, in order  
to maintain regulation. This behavior allows the regulator  
to maintain constant frequency down to very light loads,  
resulting in low output ripple as well as low audible noise  
and reduced RF interference, while providing high light  
load efficiency.  
the FB voltage relative to the reference voltage causes the

pin to rise, which causes the current comparator to  
trip at a higher peak inductor current value. The average  
inductor current will therefore rise until it equals the load  
current, thereby maintaining output regulation.  
The LTC3872-1 can be used either by sensing the voltage  
drop across the power MOSFET or by connecting the SW  
pin to a conventional sensing resistor in the source of the

Duty Cycle Considerations  
For a current mode boost regulator operating in CCM,  
slope compensation must be added for duty cycles above  
ꢀ05 in order to avoid subharmonic oscillation. For the  
LTC3872-1, thisrampcompensationisinternal. Havingan  
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

the inductor value can be determined using the following  
equation:  
inductanceselected. Asinductanceincreases, corelosses  
go down. Unfortunately, increased inductance requires  
more turns of wire and therefore, copper losses will in-  
crease. Generally, there is a tradeoff between core losses  
and copper losses that needs to be balanced.

Ferrite designs have very low core losses and are pre-  
ferred at high switching frequencies, so design goals can  
concentrate on copper losses and preventing saturation.  
Ferrite core material saturates “hard,” meaning that the  
inductancecollapsesrapidlywhenthepeakdesigncurrent  
is exceeded. This results in an abrupt increase in inductor  
ripple current and consequently, output voltage ripple. Do  
not allow the core to saturate!

Remember that boost converters are not short-circuit  
protected. Under a shorted output condition, the induc-  
tor current is limited only by the input supply capability.  
The minimum required saturation current of the inductor  
can be expressed as a function of the duty cycle and the  
load current, as follows:  
Different core materials and shapes will change the size/  
currentandprice/currentrelationshipofaninductor.Toroid  
or shielded pot cores in ferrite or permalloy materials are  
small and don’t radiate much energy, but generally cost  
more than powdered iron core inductors with similar  
characteristics. The choice of which style inductor to use  
mainly depends on the price vs size requirements and any  
radiated field/EMI requirements. New designs for surface  
mount inductors are available from Coiltronics, Coilcraft,  
Toko and Sumida.

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

The input capacitor of a boost converter is less critical  
than the output capacitor, due to the fact that the inductor  
is in series with the input and the input current waveform  
is continuous (see Figure 6b). The input voltage source  
impedance determines the size of 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

nected between the (+) plate of C  
and signal ground.
