DESCRIPTION
The LM3687 is a step-down DC-DC converter with an
integrated low dropout Linear Regulator optimized for
powering ultra-low voltage circuits from a single Li-Ion
cell or 3 cell NiMH/NiCd batteries. It provides a dual
output with fixed output voltages and combined load
current up to 750mA in post regulation mode or
1100mA in independent mode of operation, over an
input voltage range from 2.7V to 5.5V. There are
several different fixed output voltage combinations
available (refer to Voltage Options).

Combined Common Features:
The Linear Regulator being driven from the fixed
output voltage of the buck converter (post regulation)
translates to high efficiency.
The device offers superior features and performance
for mobile phones and similar portable applications
with complex power management systems. Automatic
intelligent switching between PWM low-noise and
PFM low-current mode offers improved efficiency
over the full load current range. During full-power
operation, a fixed-frequency 1.8MHz (typ.) PWM
mode drives loads from ~80mA to 750mA max.
Hysteretic PFM mode extends the battery life through
reduction of the quiescent current during light loads
and system standby.

DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
Two enable pins allow the separate operation of either the DC-DC or the Linear Regulator alone or both. If the
power input voltage for the Linear Regulator VIN_LIN is not sufficiently high (e.g. the DC-DC converter is not
enabled or starting up) a startup LDO supplies the Linear Regulator Output from VBATT for 50mA rated load
current (Startup Mode). If VIN_LIN is at the required voltage level, the startup LDO is deactivated and the main
regulator provides 350mA output current. In shutdown mode (Enable pins pulled low) the device turns off and
reduces battery consumption to 0.1µA (typ.).
The LM3687 is available in a tiny, lead-free (NO PB) 9-bump DSBGA package. A high switching frequency of
1.8MHz (typ.) allows the use of tiny surface-mount components. Only four external components -one inductor
and three ceramic capacitors- are required.

Startup Mode:
VIN_LIN must be higher than VOUT_LIN(NOM) + 200mV in order to enable the main regulator (IMAX = 350mA).
If VIN_LIN < VOUT_LIN(NOM) + 100mV (100mV hysteresis), the startup LDO (IMAX = 50mA) is active, supplied from
VBATT
.
For example in the typical post regulation application the LDO will remain in startup mode until the DC-DC
converter has ramped up its output voltage.
These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.

which operation of the device is guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed
performance limits and associated test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics tables.
(2) All voltages are with respect to the potential at the SGND pin.
(3) The battery input voltage range recommended for ideal applications performance for the specified output voltages is given as follows:
VBATT = 2.7V to 5.5V for 1.0V < VOUT_DCDC < 1.8V; VBATT = (VOUT_DCDC +1V) to 5.5V for 1.8V ≤ VOUT_DCDC ≤ 1.875V
(4) In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may
have to be derated. Maximum ambient temperature (TA-MAX) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ-MAX-OP
=
125°C), the maximum power dissipation of the device in the application (PD-MAX), and the junction-to ambient thermal resistance of the
part/package in the application (θJA), as given by the following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP – (θJA × PD-MAX).

(1) Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is highly application and board-layout dependent. In applications where high maximum power
dissipation exists, special attention must be paid to thermal dissipation issues in board design.

OPERATION DESCRIPTION
DEVICE INFORMATION
The LM3687 incorporates a high efficiency synchronous switching step-down DC-DC converter and a very low
dropout linear regulator.
The DC-DC converter delivers a constant voltage from a single Li- Ion battery and input voltage rails from 2.7V to
5.5V to portable devices such as cell phones and PDAs. Using a voltage mode architecture with synchronous
rectification, it has the ability to deliver up to 750mA load current depending on the input voltage, output voltage,
ambient temperature and the inductor chosen.
The linear regulator delivers a constant voltage biased from VIN_LIN power input - typically the output voltage of
the DC-DC converter is used (post regulation) - with a maximum load current of 350mA.
Two enable pins allow the independent control of the two outputs. Shutdown mode turns off the device, offering
the lowest current consumption (ISHUTDOWN = 0.1 µA typ).
Besides the shutdown feature, for the DC-DC converter there are two more modes of operation depending on the
current required:
•
•
PWM Operation, and
PFM Operation.
The device operates in PWM mode at load current of approximately 80 mA or higher. Lighter load currents cause
the device to automatically switch into PFM for reduced current consumption (IQ_VBATT = 27 µA typ) and a longer
battery life.
Additional features include soft-start, startup mode of the linear regulator, under-voltage protection, current
overload protection, and over-temperature protection.
As shown in Typical Application Circuit, only four external surface-mount components are required for
implementation -one inductor and three ceramic capacitors.
An internal reference generates 1.8V biasing an internal resistive divider to create a reference voltage range from
0.45V to 1.8V (in 50mV steps) for the linear regulator (depending on the output voltage setting defined in the fab)
and the 0.5V reference used for the DC-DC converter.
The Under-voltage lockout feature enables the device to startup once VBATT has reached 2.65V typically and
turns the device off if VBATT drops below 2.41V typically.
NOTE
In the case that the DC-DC converter is switched off while the Linear Regulator is still
enabled, an overshoot of up to 150mV might appear at VOUT_LIN, if all of the following
conditions are present:
•
•
high VBATT
down ramp on VIN_LIN of greater than 100mV/16us taking the Linear Regulator into
dropout
•
light load on Linear Regulator
DC-DC CONVERTER OPERATION
During the first part of each switching cycle, the control block in the LM3687 turns on the internal PFET switch.
This allows current to flow from the input VBATT through the switch pin SW and the inductor to the output filter
capacitor and load. The inductor limits the current to a ramp with a slope of (VBATT - VOUT_DCDC) / L, by storing
energy in the magnetic field.
During the second part of each cycle, the controller turns the PFET switch off, blocking current flow from the
input, and then turns the NFET synchronous rectifier on. The inductor draws current from ground through the
NFET to the output filter capacitor and load, which ramps the inductor current down with a slope of (- VOUT_DCDC
L).
/
The output filter stores charge when the inductor current is high, and releases it when low, smoothing the voltage
across the load.

SNVS473B –DECEMBER 2007–REVISED MAY 2013
The output voltage is regulated by modulating the PFET switch on time to control the average current sent to the
load. The effect is identical to sending a duty-cycle modulated rectangular wave formed by the switch and
synchronous rectifier at the SW pin to a low-pass filter formed by the inductor and output filter capacitor. The
output voltage is equal to the average voltage at the SW pin.
PWM Operation
During PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) operation the converter operates as a voltage-mode controller with input
voltage feed forward. This allows the converter to achieve good load and line regulation. The DC gain of the
power stage is proportional to the input voltage. To eliminate this dependency, feed forward inversely
proportional to the input voltage is introduced.
While in PWM mode, the output voltage is regulated by switching at a constant frequency and then modulating
the energy per cycle to control power to the load. At the beginning of each clock cycle the PFET switch is turned
on and the inductor current ramps up until the duty-cycle-comparator trips and the control logic turns off the
switch. The current limit comparator can also turn off the switch in case the current limit of the PFET is
exceeded. Then the NFET switch is turned on and the inductor current ramps down. The next cycle is initiated by
the clock turning off the NFET and turning on the PFET.

Internal Synchronous Rectification
While in PWM mode, the DC-DC converter uses an internal NFET as a synchronous rectifier to reduce rectifier
forward voltage drop and associated power loss. Synchronous rectification provides a significant improvement in
efficiency whenever the output voltage is relatively low compared to the voltage drop across an ordinary rectifier
diode.
Current Limiting
A current limit feature allows the LM3687 to protect itself and external components during overload conditions.
PWM mode implements current limiting using an internal comparator that trips at 1172 mA (typ). If the output is
shorted to ground the device enters a timed current limit mode where the NFET is turned on for a longer duration
until the inductor current falls below a low threshold. This allows the inductor current more time to decay, thereby
preventing runaway.
PFM Operation
At very light load, the DC-DC converter enters PFM mode and operates with reduced switching frequency and
supply current to maintain high efficiency. The part automatically transitions into PFM mode when either of two
conditions occurs for a duration of 32 or more clock cycles:
•
•
The NFET current reaches zero.
The peak PMOS switch current drops below the IMODE level, (typically IMODE < 36mA + VBATT / 35Ω ).

Figure 24. Typical PFM Operation
During PFM operation, the DC-DC converter positions the output voltage slightly higher than the nominal output
voltage during PWM operation, allowing additional headroom for voltage drop during a load transient from light to
heavy load. The PFM comparators sense the output voltage via the feedback pin and control the switching of the
output FETs such that the output voltage ramps between ~0.6% and ~1.7% above the nominal PWM output
voltage. If the output voltage is below the ‘high’ PFM comparator threshold, the PMOS power switch is turned on.
It remains on until the output voltage reaches the ‘high’ PFM threshold or the peak current exceeds the IPFM level
set for PFM mode. The typical peak current in PFM mode is: IPFM = 134mA + VBATT / 23Ω.
Once the PMOS power switch is turned off, the NMOS power switch is turned on until the inductor current ramps
to zero. When the NMOS zero-current condition is detected, the NMOS power switch is turned off. If the output
voltage is below the ‘high’ PFM comparator threshold (see Figure 25), the PMOS switch is again turned on and
the cycle is repeated until the output reaches the desired level. Once the output reaches the ‘high’ PFM
threshold, the NMOS switch is turned on briefly to ramp the inductor current to zero and then both output
switches are turned off and the part enters an extremely low power mode. Quiescent supply current during this
‘sleep’ mode is 27µA (typ), which allows the part to achieve high efficiency under extremely light load conditions.
If the load current should increase during PFM mode (see Figure 25) causing the output voltage to fall below the
‘low2’ PFM threshold, the part will automatically transition into fixed-frequency PWM mode.
When VBATT =2.7V the part transitions from PWM to PFM mode at ~30mA output current and from PFM to PWM
mode at ~80mA , when VBATT=3.6V, PWM to PFM transition happens at ~60mA and PFM to PWM transition
happens at ~90mA, when VBATT =5.5V, PWM to PFM transition happens at ~100mA and PFM to PWM transition
happens at ~125mA.

Soft Start
The DC-DC converter has a soft-start circuit that limits in-rush current during start-up. During start-up the switch
current limit is increased in steps. Soft start is activated only if EN_DCDC goes from logic low to logic high after
VBATT reaches 2.7V. Soft start is implemented by increasing switch current limit in steps of 85mA, 170mA,
340mA and 1120mA (typical switch current limit). The start-up time thereby depends on the output capacitor and
load current demanded at start-up. Typical start-up times with a 10µF output capacitor and 750mA load is 455 µs
and with 1mA load is 180µs.
LINEAR REGULATOR OPERATION
In the typical post regulation application the power input voltage VIN_LIN for the linear regulator is generated by
the DC-DC converter. Using a buck converter to reduce the battery voltage to a lower input voltage for the linear
regulator translates to higher efficiency and lower power dissipation.
It's also possible to operate the linear regulator independent of the DC-DC converter output voltage either from
VBATT or a different source. In this case it's important that VIN_LIN does not exceed VBATT at any time. VBATT is
needed for the linear regulator as well, it supplies internal circuitry.
An input capacitor of 1µF at VIN_LIN needs to be added if no other filter or bypass capacitor is present in the
VIN_LIN path.
Startup Mode
If the linear regulator is enabled (logic high at EN_LIN), the power input voltage VIN_LIN is continuously compared
to the nominal output voltage of the linear regulator VOUT_LIN
.
If VIN_LIN > VOUT_LIN(NOM) + 200mV the main regulator is active, offering a rated output current of 350mA and
supplied by VIN_LIN
.
If VIN_LIN < VOUT_LIN(NOM) + 100mV the startup LDO is active, providing a reduced rated output current of 50mA
typical, supplied by VBATT. Between these two levels a hystersis of 100mV is established. This feature is intended
to enable the supply of loads at the output of the linear regulator while the output of the DC-DC converter is still
ramping up.

In the typical post regulation application with both enable pins connected to VBATT and VIN_LIN supplied by
VOUT_DCDC as an example, the linear regulator turns on in startup mode (IMAX = 50mA) supplied out of VBATT. At
the same time the DC-DC converter turns on, but VOUT_DCDC startup time is longer. The internal signal 'Mode
Switch' monitors the voltage level of VIN_LIN. Once VIN_LIN > VOUT_LIN(NOM) + 200mV, the linear regulator changes
to normal mode (IMAX = 350mA) supplied out of VIN_LIN. If VIN_LIN drops below VOUT_LIN(NOM) + 100mV the linear
regulator switches back to startup mode.

Current Limiting
The LM3687 incorporates also a current limit feature for the linear regulator to protect itself and external
components during overload conditions at VOUT_LIN. In the event of a peak over-current condition at VOUT_LIN the
output current through the NFET pass device will be limited.
Application Hints
INDUCTOR SELECTION
There are two main considerations when choosing an inductor; the inductor should not saturate, and the inductor
current ripple should be small enough to achieve the desired output voltage ripple. Different saturation current
rating specifications are followed by different manufacturers so attention must be given to details. Saturation
current ratings are typically specified at 25°C. However, ratings at the maximum ambient temperature of
application should be requested from the manufacturer. The minimum value of inductance to guarantee good
performance is 1.76µH at ILIM (typ) dc current over the ambient temperature range. Shielded inductors
radiate less noise and should be preferred. There are two methods to choose the inductor saturation current
rating.
Method 1
The saturation current should be greater than the sum of the maximum load current and the worst case average
to peak inductor current. This can be written as:

Method 2
A more conservative and recommended approach is to choose an inductor that has a saturation current rating
greater than the maximum current limit of 1380mA.
A 2.2 µH inductor with a saturation current rating of at least 1380mA is recommended for most applications. The
inductor’s resistance should be less than 0.3Ω for good efficiency. Table 1 lists suggested inductors and
suppliers. For low-cost applications, an unshielded bobbin inductor could be considered. For noise critical
applications, a toroidal or shielded- bobbin inductor should be used. A good practice is to lay out the board with
overlapping footprints of both types for design flexibility. This allows substitution of a low-noise shielded inductor,
in the event that noise from low-cost bobbin models is unacceptable.

EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
As is common with most regulators, the LM3687 requires external capacitors to ensure stable operation. The
LM3687 is specifically designed for portable applications requiring minimum board space and the smallest size
components. These capacitors must be correctly selected for good performance.
INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
VBATT
A ceramic input capacitor of 4.7 µF, 6.3V is sufficient for most applications. Place the input capacitor as close as
possible to the VBATT pin of the device. A larger value may be used for improved input voltage filtering. Use X7R
or X5R types; do not use Y5V. DC bias characteristics of ceramic capacitors must be considered when selecting
case sizes like 0805 and 0603. The minimum input capacitance to guarantee good performance is 2.2µF at 3V
dc bias; 1.5µF at 5V dc bias including tolerances and over ambient temperature range. The input filter capacitor
supplies current to the PFET switch of the LM3687 DC-DC converter in the first half of each cycle and reduces
voltage ripple imposed on the input power source. A ceramic capacitor’s low ESR provides the best noise filtering
of the input voltage spikes due to this rapidly changing current. Select a capacitor with sufficient ripple current
rating. The input current ripple can be calculated as:

If the linear regulator is used as post regulation no additional capacitor is needed at VIN_LIN as the output filter
capacitor of the DC-DC converter is close by and therefore sufficient.
In case of independent use, a 1.0µF ceramic capacitor is recommended at VIN_LIN if no other filter capacitor is
present in the VIN_LIN supply path. This capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 1 cm from the
VIN_LIN input pin and returned to a clean analogue ground. Any good quality ceramic, tantalum, or film capacitor
may be used at this input.
Important
Tantalum capacitors can suffer catastrophic failures due to surge current when connected to a low-impedance
source of power (like a battery or a very large capacitor). If a tantalum capacitor is used at this input, it must be
guaranteed by the manufacturer to have a surge current rating sufficient for the application.
The ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of this input capacitor should be in the range of 3mΩ to 300mΩ. The
tolerance and temperature coefficient must be considered when selecting the capacitor to ensure the
capacitance will remain ≥ 470nF over the entire operating temperature range.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR
VOUT_DCDC
A ceramic output capacitor of 10 µF, 6.3V is sufficient for most applications. Use X7R or X5R types; do not use
Y5V. DC bias characteristics of ceramic capacitors must be considered when selecting case sizes like 0805 and
0603. DC bias characteristics vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and dc bias curves should be requested
from them as part of the capacitor selection process.
The minimum output capacitance to guarantee good performance is 5.75µF at 1.8V DC bias including
tolerances and over ambient temperature range. The output filter capacitor smoothes out current flow from
the inductor to the load, helps maintain a steady output voltage during transient load changes and reduces
output voltage ripple. These capacitors must be selected with sufficient capacitance and sufficiently low ESR to
perform these functions.
The output voltage ripple is caused by the charging and discharging of the output capacitor and by the RESR and
can be calculated as:
Voltage peak-to-peak ripple due to capacitance can be expressed as follow:
IRIPPLE
=
VPP-C
4 x f x C
(4)
Voltage peak-to-peak ripple due to ESR can be expressed as follow:
VPP-ESR = (2*IRIPPLE) * RESR
Because these two components are out of phase, the rms (root mean squared) value can be used to get an
approximate value of peak-to-peak ripple. The peak-to-peak ripple voltage, rms value can be expressed as
follow:
2
VPP-RMS
=
VPP-C2 + VPP-ESR

SNVS473B –DECEMBER 2007–REVISED MAY 2013
Note that the output voltage ripple is dependent on the inductor current ripple and the equivalent series
resistance of the output capacitor (RESR). The RESR is frequency dependent (as well as temperature dependent);
make sure the value used for calculations is at the switching frequency of the part.
VOUT_LIN
The linear regulator is designed specifically to work with very small ceramic output capacitors. A ceramic
capacitor (dielectric types X7R, Z5U, or Y5V) in the 2.2µF range (up to 10µF) and with an ESR between 3mΩ to
300mΩ is suitable as COUT_LIN in the LM3687 application circuit.
This capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 1cm from the VOUT_LIN pin and returned to a clean
analogue ground. It is also possible to use tantalum or film capacitors at the device output, VOUT_LIN, but these
are not as attractive for reasons of size and cost (see CAPACITOR CHARACTERISTICS).
CAPACITOR CHARACTERISTICS
The LM3687 is designed to work with ceramic capacitors on the outputs to take advantage of the benefits they
offer. For capacitance values in the range of 1µF to 4.7µF, ceramic capacitors are the smallest, least expensive
and have the lowest ESR values, thus making them best for eliminating high frequency noise. The ESR of a
typical 1µF ceramic capacitor is in the range of 3mΩ to 40mΩ, which easily meets the ESR requirement for
stability for the LM3687.
For both input and output capacitors, careful interpretation of the capacitor specification is required to ensure
correct device operation. The capacitor value can change greatly, depending on the operating conditions and
capacitor type.
In particular, the output capacitor selection should take account of all the capacitor parameters, to ensure that the
specification is met within the application. The capacitance can vary with DC bias conditions as well as
temperature and frequency of operation. Capacitor values will also show some decrease over time due to aging.
The capacitor parameters are also dependant on the particular case size, with smaller sizes giving poorer
performance figures in general. As an example, the graph below shows a comparison of different capacitor case
sizes in a Capacitance vs. DC Bias plot. As shown in the graph, increasing the DC Bias condition can result in
the capacitance value falling below the minimum recommended value. It is therefore recommended that the
capacitor manufacturers’ specifications for the nominal value capacitor are consulted for all conditions, as some
capacitor sizes (e.g. 0402) may not be suitable in the actual application.

Figure 27. Graph Showing a Typical Variation In Capacitance vs. DC Bias
The ceramic capacitor’s capacitance can vary with temperature. The capacitor type X7R, which operates over a
temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, will only vary the capacitance to within ±15%. The capacitor type X5R
has a similar tolerance over a reduced temperature range of -55°C to +85°C. Many large value ceramic
capacitors, larger than 1µF are manufactured with Z5U or Y5V temperature characteristics. Their capacitance
can drop by more than 50% as the temperature varies from 25°C to 85°C. Therefore X7R is recommended over
Z5U and Y5V in applications where the ambient temperature will change significantly above or below 25°C.

Tantalum capacitors are less desirable than ceramic for use as output capacitors because they are more
expensive when comparing equivalent capacitance and voltage ratings in the 1µF to 4.7µF range.
Another important consideration is that tantalum capacitors have higher ESR values than equivalent size
ceramics. This means that while it may be possible to find a tantalum capacitor with an ESR value within the
stable range, it would have to be larger in capacitance (which means bigger and more costly) than a ceramic
capacitor with the same ESR value. It should also be noted that the ESR of a typical tantalum will increase about
2:1 as the temperature goes from 25°C down to -40°C, so some guard band must be allowed. For the output
capacitor of the DC-DC converter, please note that the output voltage ripple is dependent on the ESR of the
output capacitor.

POWER DISSIPATION AND DEVICE OPERATION
The permissible power dissipation for any package is a measure of the capability of the device to pass heat from
the power source, the junctions of the IC, to the ultimate heat sink, the ambient environment. Thus the power
dissipation is dependent on the ambient temperature and the thermal resistance across the various interfaces
between the die and ambient air.
As stated in Operating Ratings, the allowable power dissipation for the device in a given package can be
calculated using the equation:
PD_SYS = (TJ(MAX) - TA) / θJA
(6)
For the LM3687 there are two different main sources contributing to the systems power dissipation (PD_SYS): the
DC-DC converter (PD_DCDC) and the linear regulator (PD_LIN). Neglecting switching losses and quiescent currents
these two main contributors can be estimated by the following equations:
PD_LIN = (VIN_LIN - VOUT_LIN) * IOUT_LIN
(7)
PD_DCDC = IOUT_DCDC2 * [(RDSON(P) * D) + (RDSON(N) * (1-D))]
where
•
duty cycle D= VOUT_DCDC / VBATT.
(8)
As an example, assuming the typical post regulation application, the conversion from VBATT = 3.6V to VOUT_DCDC
= 1.8V and further to VOUT_LIN = 1.5V, at maximum load currents, results in following power dissipations:
PD_DCDC = (0.75A)2 * (0.38Ω * 1.8V / 3.6V + 0.25Ω * (1 - 1.8V / 3.6V)) = 177mW and
PD_LIN = (1.8V - 1.5V) * 0.35A = 105mW.
PD_SYS = 282mW.
With a θJA = 70°C/W for the DSBGA 9 package this PD_SYS will cause a rise of the junction temperature TJ of:
ΔTJ = PD_SYS * θJA = 20K.
For the same conditions but the linear regulator biased from VBATT, this results in a PD_LIN of 735mW, PD_DCDC
50mW (because IOUT_DCDC = 400mA) and therefore an increase of TJ of 55K.
=
As lower total power dissipation translates to higher efficiency this example highlights the advantage of the post
regulation setup.
NO-LOAD STABILITY
Both outputs of the LM3687 will remain stable and in regulation with no external load. This is an important
consideration in some circuits, for example CMOS RAM keep-alive applications.

ENABLE OPERATION
The outputs of LM3687 may be switched ON or OFF by a logic input at the Enable pins, VEN_DCDC and VEN_LIN. A
logic high (related to VBATT) at these pins will turn the outputs on (for information on startup sequence please
refer to Operation Description).
When both enable pins are low, the outputs are off (pins SW and VOUT_LIN are high impedance) and the device
typically consumes 0.1µA.
If the application does not require the Enable switching feature, the enable pins should be tied to VBATT to keep
the outputs permanently on.
To ensure proper operation, the signal source used to drive the enable inputs must be able to swing above and
below the specified turn-on/off voltage thresholds listed in Electrical Characteristics: Enable Pins (EN_DCDC,
EN_LIN), VIL and VIH.
FAST TURN ON
For VOUT_LIN fast turn-on is guaranteed by an optimized architecture allowing a fast ramp of the output voltage to
reach the target voltage while the inrush current is controlled low at 120mA typical (for a COUT of 2.2µF;
assuming VIN_LIN is settled before enable happens).
SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Both outputs of the LM3687 are short circuit protected and in the event of a peak over-current condition, the
output current through the MOS transistors will be limited.
If the over-current condition exists for a longer time, the average power dissipation will increase depending on
the input to output voltage differences until the thermal shutdown circuitry will turn off the MOS transistors.
Please refer to POWER DISSIPATION AND DEVICE OPERATION for calculations.
THERMAL-OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Thermal-Overload Protection limits the total power dissipation in the LM3687. When the junction temperature
exceeds TJ = 160°C typ., the shutdown logic is triggered and the output MOS transistors are turned off, allowing
the device to cool down. After the junction temperature dropped by 20°C (temperature hysteresis), the output
MOS transistors are activated again. This results in a pulsed output voltage during continuous thermal-overload
conditions.
As the DC-DC converter in PFM mode (low load current) does not contribute significantly to an increase of TJ, it
is not turned off in case a thermal shutdown is initiated. If the DC-DC converter operates in PWM mode, the
PMOS is turned off in case of a thermal shutdown.
The Thermal-Overload Protection is designed to protect the LM3687 in the event of a fault condition. For normal,
continuous operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature rating of TJ = +150°C (see
Absolute Maximum Ratings).
REVERSE CURRENT PATH
There are two body diodes at the switch pin of the DC-DC converter. It is not allowed to pull the switch pin above
VBATT or below PGND by more than 200mV.
On the main linear regulator there is a bulk switching feature in place preventing the parasitic diode structures
from conducting current. This feature is only active as long as any of the regulators is enabled.
For the startup LDO, VOUT_LIN must not exceed VBATT
.

DSBGA PACKAGE ASSEMBLY AND USE
Use of the DSBGA package requires specialized board layout, precision mounting and careful re-flow
techniques, as detailed in Application Note 1112 SNVA009. Refer to the section "Surface Mount Assembly
Considerations". For best results in assembly, alignment ordinals on the PC board should be used to facilitate
placement of the device. The pad style used with DSBGA package must be the NSMD (non-solder mask
defined) type. This means that the solder-mask opening is larger than the pad size. This prevents a lip that
otherwise forms if the soldermask and pad overlap, from holding the device off the surface of the board and
interfering with mounting. See Application Note 1112 SNVA009 for specific instructions how to do this. The 9-
Bump package used for LM3687 has 300 micron solder balls and requires 275 micron pads for mounting on the
circuit board. The trace to each pad should enter the pad with a 90° entry angle to prevent debris from being
caught in deep corners. Initially, the trace to each pad should not exceed 183 micron, for a section approximately
183 micron long or longer, as a thermal relief. Then each trace should neck up or down to its optimal width. The
important criteria is symmetry. This ensures the solder bumps on the LM3687 re-flow evenly and that the device
solders level to the board. In particular, special attention must be paid to the pads for bumps A1, A2, C1 and B3,
because PGND, SGND, VBATT and VIN_LIN are typically connected to large copper planes, inadequate thermal
relief can result in late or inadequate re-flow of these bumps. The DSBGA package is optimized for the smallest
possible size in applications with red or infrared opaque cases. Because the DSBGA package lacks the plastic
encapsulation characteristic of larger devices, it is vulnerable to light. Backside metallization and/or epoxy
coating, along with frontside shading by the printed circuit board, reduce this sensitivity. However, the package
has exposed die edges. In particular, DSBGA devices are sensitive to light, in the red and infrared range, shining
on the package’s exposed die edges.
BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
PC board layout is an important part of DC-DC converter design. Poor board layout can disrupt the performance
of a DC-DC converter and surrounding circuitry by contributing to EMI, ground bounce, and resistive voltage loss
in the traces. These can send erroneous signals to the DC-DC converter IC, resulting in poor regulation or
instability. Good layout for the LM3687 can be implemented by following a few simple design rules below. Refer
to Figure 28 for top layer board layout.
1. Place the LM3687, inductor and filter capacitor close together and make the traces short. The traces
between these components carry relatively high switching currents and act as antennas. Following this rule
reduces radiated noise. Special care must be given to place the input filter capacitor very close to the VBATT
and PGND pin. Place the output capacitor of the linear regulator close to the output pin.
2. Arrange the components so that the switching current loops curl in the same direction. During the first half of
each cycle, current flows from the input filter capacitor through the LM3687 and inductor to the output filter
capacitor and back through ground, forming a current loop. In the second half of each cycle, current is pulled
up from ground through the LM3687 by the inductor to the output filter capacitor and then back through
ground forming a second current loop. Routing these loops so the current curls in the same direction
prevents magnetic field reversal between the two half-cycles and reduces radiated noise.
3. Connect the ground pins of the LM3687 and filter capacitors together using generous component-side
copper fill as a pseudo-ground plane. Then, connect this to the ground-plane (if one is used) with several
vias. This reduces ground-plane noise by preventing the switching currents from circulating through the
ground plane. It also reduces ground bounce at the LM3687 by giving it a low impedance ground connection.
Route SGND to the ground-plane by a separate trace.
4. Use wide traces between the power components and for power connections to the DC-DC converter circuit.
This reduces voltage errors caused by resistive losses across the traces.
5. Route noise sensitive traces, such as the voltage feedback path (FB_DCDC), away from noisy traces
between the power components. The voltage feedback trace must remain close to the LM3687 circuit and
should be direct but should be routed opposite to noisy components. This reduces EMI radiated onto the DC-
DC converter’s own voltage feedback trace. A good approach is to route the feedback trace on another layer
and to have a ground plane between the top layer and layer on which the feedback trace is routed.
6. Place noise sensitive circuitry, such as radio IF blocks, away from the DC-DC converter, CMOS digital blocks
and other noisy circuitry. Interference with noise sensitive circuitry in the system can be reduced through
distance.

In mobile phones, for example, a common practice is to place the DC-DC converter on one corner of the board,
arrange the CMOS digital circuitry around it (since this also generates noise), and then place sensitive
preamplifiers and IF stages on the diagonally opposing corner. Often, the sensitive circuitry is shielded with a
metal pan and power to it is postregulated to reduce conducted noise, a good field of application for the on-chip
low-dropout linear regulator.
