LT3684  
36V, 2A, 2.8MHz Step-Down  
Switching Regulator  
FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
TheLT®3684isanadjustablefrequency(300kHzto2.8MHz)  
monolithic buck switching regulator that accepts input  
voltages up to 34V (36V maximum). A high efficiency  
0.18Ω switch is included on the die along with a boost  
Schottky diode and the necessary oscillator, control and  
logic circuitry. Current mode topology is used for fast  
transient response and good loop stability. The LT3684’s  
high operating frequency allows the use of small, low cost  
inductors and ceramic capacitors resulting in low output  
ripple while keeping total solution size to a minimum.  
The low current shutdown mode reduces input supply  
current to less than 1µA while a resistor and capacitor on  
the RUN/SS pin provide a controlled output voltage ramp  
Wide Input Range: 3.6V to 34V Operating,

LT3684  
OPERATION  
The LT3684 is a constant frequency, current mode step-  
down regulator. An oscillator, with frequency set by RT,  
enables an RS flip-flop, turning on the internal power  
switch. An amplifier and comparator monitor the current  
This improves efficiency. The RUN/SS pin is used to place  
the LT3684 in shutdown, disconnecting the output and  
reducing the input current to less than 1µA.  
The switch driver operates from either the input or from  
the BOOST pin. An external capacitor and diode are used  
to generate a voltage at the BOOST pin that is higher than  
the input supply. This allows the driver to fully saturate  
the internal bipolar NPN power switch for efficient  
operation.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Of course, such a simple design guide will not always re-  
sult in the optimum inductor for your application. A larger  
value inductor provides a slightly higher maximum load  
current and will reduce the output voltage ripple. If your  
load is lower than 2A, then you can decrease the value of  
the inductor and operate with higher ripple current. This  
allows you to use a physically smaller inductor, or one  
with a lower DCR resulting in higher efficiency. There are  
several graphs in the Typical Performance Characteristics  
section of this data sheet that show the maximum load  
current as a function of input voltage and inductor value  
for several popular output voltages. Low inductance may  
result in discontinuous mode operation, which is okay  
but further reduces maximum load current. For details of  
maximum output current and discontinuous mode opera-  
tion, see Linear Technology Application Note 44. Finally,  
ceramic input capacitor concerns the maximum input  
voltage rating of the LT3684. A ceramic input capacitor  
combined with trace or cable inductance forms a high  
quality (under damped) tank circuit. If the LT3684 circuit  
is plugged into a live supply, the input voltage can ring to  
twice its nominal value, possibly exceeding the LT3684’s  
voltage rating. This situation is easily avoided (see the Hot  
Plugging Safety section).  
For space sensitive applications, a 2.2µF ceramic capaci-  
tor can be used for local bypassing of the LT3684 input.  
However, the lower input capacitance will result in in-  
creased input current ripple and input voltage ripple, and  
may couple noise into other circuitry. Also, the increased  
voltage ripple will raise the minimum operating voltage  
of the LT3684 to ~3.7V.

a higher value capacitor if the compensation network is  
also adjusted to maintain the loop bandwidth. A lower  
value of output capacitor can be used to save space and  
cost but transient performance will suffer. See the Fre-  
quency Compensation section to choose an appropriate  
compensation network.  
Step-down regulators draw current from the input sup-  
ply in pulses with very fast rise and fall times. The input  
capacitor is required to reduce the resulting voltage  
ripple at the LT3684 and to force this very high frequency  
switching current into a tight local loop, minimizing EMI.

placed close to the LT3684 and the catch diode (see the

When choosing a capacitor, look carefully through the  
data sheet to find out what the actual capacitance is under  
operating conditions (applied voltage and temperature).  
A physically larger capacitor, or one with a higher voltage  
rating, may be required. High performance tantalum or  
electrolyticcapacitorscanbeusedfortheoutputcapacitor.  
Low ESR is important, so choose one that is intended for  
use in switching regulators. The ESR should be specified  
by the supplier, and should be 0.05Ω or less. Such a  
capacitor will be larger than a ceramic capacitor and will  
have a larger capacitance, because the capacitor must be  
large to achieve low ESR. Table 2 lists several capacitor  
vendors.

Figure 2. Model for Loop Response  
Loop compensation determines the stability and transient  
performance. Designing the compensation network is a  
bit complicated and the best values depend on the ap-  
plication and in particular the type of output capacitor. A  
practical approach is to start with one of the circuits in  
this data sheet that is similar to your application and tune  
the compensation network to optimize the performance.  
Stability should then be checked across all operating  
conditions, including load current, input voltage and  
temperature. The LT1375 data sheet contains a more  
thorough discussion of loop compensation and describes  
how to test the stability using a transient load. Figure 2  
shows an equivalent circuit for the LT3684 control loop.  
The error amplifier is a transconductance amplifier with  
finite output impedance. The power section, consisting of  
the modulator, power switch and inductor, is modeled as  
a transconductance amplifier generating an output cur-  
BOOST and BIAS Pin Considerations  
Capacitor C3 and the internal boost Schottky diode (see  
the Block Diagram) are used to generate a boost volt-  
age that is higher than the input voltage. In most cases  
a 0.22µF capacitor will work well. Figure 2 shows three  
ways to arrange the boost circuit. The BOOST pin must be  
more than 2.3V above the SW pin for best efficiency. For  
outputs of 3V and above, the standard circuit (Figure 4a)  
is best. For outputs between 2.8V and 3V, use a 1µF boost  
capacitor. A 2.5V output presents a special case because it  
is marginally adequate to support the boosted drive stage  
whileusingtheinternalboostdiode.ForreliableBOOSTpin  
operation with 2.5V outputs use a good external Schottky  
diode (such as the ON Semi MBR0540), and a 1µF boost  
capacitor (see Figure 4b). For lower output voltages the  
boost diode can be tied to the input (Figure 4c), or to  
another supply greater than 2.8V. The circuit in Figure 4a  
is more efficient because the BOOST pin current and BIAS  
pin quiescent current comes from a lower voltage source.  
You must also be sure that the maximum voltage ratings  
of the BOOST and BIAS pins are not exceeded.

This occurs, for example, if RUN/SS is asserted after V

is applied. The plots show the worst-case situation where  
proper start-up, the minimum input voltage is also limited  
by the boost circuit. If the input voltage is ramped slowly,  
or the LT3684 is turned on with its RUN/SS pin when the  
output is already in regulation, then the boost capacitor  
may not be fully charged. Because the boost capacitor is  
charged with the energy stored in the inductor, the circuit  
will rely on some minimum load current to get the boost  
circuit running properly. This minimum load will depend  
on input and output voltages, and on the arrangement of  
the boost circuit. The minimum load generally goes to  
zero once the circuit has started. Figure 5 shows a plot  
of minimum load to start and to run as a function of input

The Exposed Pad on the bottom of the package must be  
soldered to ground so that the pad acts as a heat sink. To  
keep thermal resistance low, extend the ground plane as

pin is held high (either by a logic signal or because it is  
tied to V ), then the LT3684’s internal circuitry will pull

its quiescent current through its SW pin. This is fine if  
your system can tolerate a few mA in this state. If you  
ground the RUN/SS pin, the SW pin current will drop to  
essentially zero. However, if the V pin is grounded while  
the output is held high, then parasitic diodes inside the

input to eliminate the voltage overshoot (it also reduces  
the peak input current). A 0.1µF capacitor improves high  
frequency filtering. For high input voltages its impact on  
efficiency is minor, reducing efficiency by 1.5 percent for  
a 5V output at full load operating from 24V.  
The small size, robustness and low impedance of ceramic  
capacitors make them an attractive option for the input  
bypasscapacitorofLT3684circuits.However,thesecapaci-  
tors can cause problems if the LT3684 is plugged into a  
live supply (see Linear Technology Application Note 88 for  
a complete discussion). The low loss ceramic capacitor,  
combined with stray inductance in series with the power  
source, forms an under damped tank circuit, and the  
High Temperature Considerations  
The PCB must provide heat sinking to keep the LT3684  
cool. The Exposed Pad on the bottom of the package must  
be soldered to a ground plane. This ground should be tied  
to large copper layers below with thermal vias; these lay-  
ers will spread the heat dissipated by the LT3684. Place  
additionalviascanreducethermalresistancefurther. With  
these steps, the thermal resistance from die (or junction)  
voltage at the V pin of the LT3684 can ring to twice the  
IN  
nominal input voltage, possibly exceeding the LT3684’s  
rating and damaging the part. If the input supply is poorly  
controlled or the user will be plugging the LT3684 into an  
energized supply, the input network should be designed  
to prevent this overshoot. Figure 9 shows the waveforms  
that result when an LT3684 circuit is connected to a 24V  
supply through six feet of 24-gauge twisted pair. The  
first plot is the response with a 4.7µF ceramic capacitor  
at the input. The input voltage rings as high as 50V and  
the input current peaks at 26A. A good solution is shown  
in Figure 9b. A 0.7Ω resistor is added in series with the  
to ambient can be reduced to θ = 35°C/W or less. With  
JA  
100 LFPM airflow, this resistance can fall by another 25%.  
Further increases in airflow will lead to lower thermal re-  
sistance. Because of the large output current capability of  
the LT3684, it is possible to dissipate enough heat to raise  
thejunctiontemperaturebeyondtheabsolutemaximumof  
125°C. When operating at high ambient temperatures, the

Application Notes 19, 35 and 44 contain more detailed  
descriptions and design information for buck regulators  
and other switching regulators. The LT1376 data sheet  
has a more extensive discussion of output ripple, loop  
compensation and stability testing. Design Note 100  
shows how to generate a bipolar output supply using a  
buck regulator.  
Power dissipation within the LT3684 can be estimated by  
calculatingthetotalpowerlossfromanefficiencymeasure-  
ment and subtracting the catch diode loss and inductor  
loss. The die temperature is calculated by multiplying the  
LT3684 power dissipation by the thermal resistance from  
junction to ambient.
