8 ltc3417a 3417afa the ltc3417a uses a constant frequency, current mode architecture. both channels share the same clock fre- quency. the phase pin sets whether the channels are running in-phase or out of phase. the operating frequency is determined by connecting the freq pin to v in for 1.5mhz operation or by connecting a resistor from freq to ground for a frequency from 0.6mhz to 4mhz. to suit a variety of applications, the sync/mode pin allows the user to trade off noise for efficiency. the output voltages are set by external dividers returned to the v fb1 and v fb2 pins. an error amplifier compares the divided output voltage with a reference voltage of 0.8v and adjusts the peak inductor current accordingly. undervolt- age comparators will pull the pgood output low when either output voltage is 6% below its targeted value. main control loop for each regulator, during normal operation, the p-chan- nel mosfet power switch is turned on at the beginning of a clock cycle when the v fb voltage is below the reference voltage. the current into the inductor and the load in- creases until the current limit is reached. the switch turns off and energy stored in the inductor flows through the bottom n-channel mosfet switch into the load until the next clock cycle. the peak inductor current is controlled by the voltage on the i th pin, which is the output of the error amplifier. this amplifier compares the v fb pin to the 0.8v reference. when the load current increases the v fb voltage decreases slightly below the reference. this decrease causes the error amplifier to increase the i th voltage until the average inductor current matches the new load current. the main control loop is shut down by pulling the run pin to ground. a digital soft-start is enabled after shutdown, which will slowly ramp the peak inductor current up over 1024 clock cycles. low current operation three modes are available to control the operation of the ltc3417a at low currents. each of the three modes automatically switch from continuous operation to the selected mode when the load current is low. to optimize efficiency, burst mode operation can be selected. when the load is relatively light, the ltc3417a automatically switches into burst mode operation in which the pmos switches operate intermittently based on load demand. by running cycles periodically, the switching losses, which are dominated by the gate charge losses of the power mosfets, are minimized. the main control loop is interrupted when the output voltage reaches the desired regulated value. the hysteresis voltage compara- tor trips when i th is below 0.24v, shutting off the switch and reducing the power. the output capacitor and the inductor supply the power to the load until i th exceeds 0.31v, turning on the switch and the main control loop which starts another cycle. for lower output voltage ripple at low currents, pulse skipping mode can be used. in this mode, the ltc3417a continues to switch at constant frequency down to very low currents, where it will begin skipping pulses used to control the power mosfets. finally, in forced continuous mode, the inductor current is constantly cycled creating a fixed output voltage ripple at all output current levels. this feature is desirable in tele- communications since the noise is a constant frequency and is thus easy to filter out. another advantage of this mode is that the regulator is capable of both sourcing current into a load and sinking some current from the output. the mode selection for the ltc3417a is set using the sync/mode pin. the sync/mode pin sets the mode for both the1a and the 1.5a step-down dc/dc converters. operatio u
9 ltc3417a 3417afa dropout operation when the input supply voltage decreases toward the output voltage, the duty cycle increases to 100%. in this dropout condition, the pmos switch is turned on continu- ously with the output voltage being equal to the input voltage minus the voltage drops across the internal p- channel mosfet and inductor. low supply operation the ltc3417a incorporates an undervoltage lockout cir- cuit which shuts down the part when the input voltage drops below about 2.07v to prevent unstable operation. a general ltc3417a application circuit is shown in figure 4. external component selection is driven by the load requirement, and begins with the selection of the inductors l1 and l2. once l1 and l2 are chosen, c in , c out1 and c out2 can be selected. operating frequency selection of the operating frequency is a tradeoff between efficiency and component size. high frequency operation allows the use of smaller inductor and capacitor values. operation at lower frequencies improves efficiency by reducing internal gate charge losses but requires larger inductance values and/or capacitance to maintain low output ripple voltage. the operating frequency, f o , of the ltc3417a is deter- mined by pulling the freq pin to v in for 1.5mhz operation or by connecting an external resistor from freq to ground. the value of the resistor sets the ramp current that is used to charge and discharge an internal timing capacitor within the oscillator and can be calculated by using the following equation: r f k t o () 161 10 16 586 11 .? C. ?? for 0.6mhz f o 4mhz. alternatively, use figure 1 to select the value for r t . the maximum operating frequency is also constrained by the minimum on-time and duty cycle. this can be calcu- lated as: f v v mhz o max out in max () () . ? ? ? ? ? ? () 667 the minimum frequency is limited by leakage and noise coupling due to the large resistance of r t . inductor selection although the inductor does not influence the operating frequency, the inductor value has a direct effect on ripple current. the inductor ripple current, ? i l , decreases with higher inductance and increases with higher v in or v out . ? = ? ? ? ? ? ? i v fl v v l out o out in ? C 1 accepting larger values of ? i l allows the use of low inductances, but results in higher output voltage ripple, greater core losses and lower output current capability. figure 1. frequency vs r t operatio u applicatio s i for atio wu u u frequency (mhz) 0 r t (k ? ) 60 80 100 1.5 2.5 3.5 3.0 4.0 3417 f01 40 20 0 0.5 1.0 2.0 120 140 160 4.5
10 ltc3417a 3417afa a reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is ? i l = 0.35i load(max) , where i load(max) is the maximum current output. the largest ripple, ? i l , occurs at the maximum input voltage. to guarantee that the ripple current stays below a specified maximum, the inductor value should be chosen according to the following equa- tion: l v fi v v out ol out in max = ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? C () 1 the inductor value will also have an effect on burst mode operation. the transition from low current operation be- gins when the peak inductor current falls below a level set by the burst clamp. lower inductor values result in higher ripple current which causes this to occur at lower load currents. this causes a dip in efficiency in the upper range of low current operation. in burst mode operation, lower inductor values will cause the burst frequency to increase. inductor core selection different core materials and shapes will change the size/ current relationship of an inductor. toroid or shielded pot cores in ferrite or permalloy materials are small and dont radiate much energy, but generally cost more than pow- dered iron core inductors with similar electrical character- istics. the choice of which style inductor to use often depends more on the price vs size requirements of any radiated field/emi requirements than on what the ltc3417a requires to operate. table 1 shows some typical surface mount inductors that work well in ltc3417a applications. input capacitor (c in ) selection in continuous mode, the input current of the converter can be approximated by the sum of two square waves with duty cycles of approximately v out1 /v in and v out2 /v in . to prevent large voltage transients, a low equivalent series resistance (esr) input capacitor sized for the maximum rms current must be used. some capacitors have a de- rating spec for maximum rms current. if the capacitor being used has this requirement, it is necessary to calcu- late the maximum rms current. the rms current calcu- lation is different if the part is used in in phase or out of phase. for in phase, there are two different equations: v out1 > v out2 : iiiddiddidd rms =++ 2 211 2 2 11 12 2 2 2 1 2 2 ?? ?

C C these formula have a maximum at v in = 2v out , where i rms = (i 1 + i 2 )/2. this simple worst case is commonly used to determine the highest i rms . for out of phase operation, the ripple current can be lower than the in phase current. in the out of phase case, the maximum i rms does not occur when v out1 = v out2 . the maximum typically occurs when v out1 C v in /2 = v out2 or when v out2 C v in /2 = v out1 . as a good rule of thumb, the amount of worst case ripple is about 75% of the worst case ripple in the in phase mode. also note that when v out1 = v out2 = v in /2 and i 1 = i 2 , the ripple is zero. note that capacitor manufacturers ripple current ratings are often based on only 2000 hours lifetime. this makes it advisable to further derate the capacitor, or choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than required. several capacitors may also be paralleled to meet the size or height requirements of the design. an additional 0.1 f to 1 f ceramic capacitor is also recommended on v in for high frequency decoupling, when not using an all ceramic capacitor solution. output capacitor (c out1 and c out2 ) selection the selection of c out1 and c out2 is driven by the required esr to minimize voltage ripple and load step transients. typically, once the esr requirement is satisfied, the capacitance is adequate for filtering. the output ripple ( ? v out ) is determined by: ?? + ? ? ? ? ? ? v i esr fc out l cout o out 1 8? ? where f o = operating frequency, c out = output capacitance and ? i l = ripple current in the inductor. the output ripple is highest at maximum input voltage, since ? i l increases with input voltage. with ? i l = 0.35i load(max) , the output ripple will be less than 100mv at maximum v in and f o = 1mhz with: esr cout < 150m ? once the esr requirements for c out have been met, the rms current rating generally far exceeds the i ripple(p-p) requirement, except for an all ceramic solution. in surface mount applications, multiple capacitors may have to be paralleled to meet the capacitance, esr or rms current handling requirement of the application. alumi- num electrolytic, special polymer, ceramic and dry tanta- lum capacitors are all available in surface mount pack- ages. the os-con semiconductor dielectric capacitor available from sanyo has the lowest esr(size) product of any aluminum electrolytic at a somewhat higher price. special polymer capacitors, such as sanyo poscap, offer very low esr, but have a lower capacitance density than other types. tantalum capacitors have the highest capaci- tance density, but it has a larger esr and it is critical that the capacitors are surge tested for use in switching power supplies. an excellent choice is the avx tps series of surface tantalums, available in case heights ranging from 2mm to 4mm. aluminum electrolytic capacitors have a significantly larger esr, and are often used in extremely cost-sensitive applications provided that consideration is applicatio s i for atio wu u u
12 ltc3417a 3417afa given to ripple current ratings and long term reliability. ceramic capacitors have the lowest esr and cost but also have the lowest capacitance density, high voltage and temperature coefficient and exhibit audible piezoelectric effects. in addition, the high q of ceramic capacitors along with trace inductance can lead to significant ringing. other capacitor types include the panasonic specialty polymer (sp) capacitors. in most cases, 0.1 f to 1 f of ceramic capacitors should also be placed close to the ltc3417a in parallel with the main capacitors for high frequency decoupling. ceramic input and output capacitors higher value, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now becoming available in smaller case sizes. these are tempt- ing for switching regulator use because of their very low esr. unfortunately, the esr is so low that it can cause loop stability problems. solid tantalum capacitor esr generates a loop zero at 5khz to 50khz that is instrumen- tal in giving acceptable loop phase margin. ceramic ca- pacitors remain capacitive to beyond 300khz and usually resonate with their esl before esr becomes effective. also, ceramic capacitors are prone to temperature effects which require the designer to check loop stability over the operating temperature range. to minimize their large temperature and voltage coefficients, only x5r or x7r ceramic capacitors should be used. a good selection of ceramic capacitors is available from taiyo yuden, tdk and murata. great care must be taken when using only ceramic input and output capacitors. when a ceramic capacitor is used at the input and the power is being supplied through long wires, such as from a wall adapter, a load step at the output can induce ringing at the v in pin. at best, this ringing can couple to the output and be mistaken as loop instability. at worst, the ringing at the input can be large enough to damage the part. since the esr of a ceramic capacitor is so low, the input and output capacitor must fulfill a charge storage require- ment. during a load step, the output capacitor must instantaneously supply the current to support the load until the feedback loop raises the switch current enough to support the load. the time required for the feedback loop to respond is dependent on the compensation compo- nents and the output capacitor size. typically, 3 to 4 cycles are required to respond to a load step, but only in the first cycle does the output drop linearly. the output droop, v droop , is usually about 2 to 3 times the linear droop of the first cycle. thus, a good place to start is with the output capacitor size of approximately: c i fv out out o droop ? 25 . ? more capacitance may be required depending on the duty cycle and load step requirements. in most applications, the input capacitor is merely re- quired to supply high frequency bypassing, since the impedance to the supply is very low. a 10 f ceramic capacitor is usually enough for these conditions. setting the output voltage the ltc3417a develops a 0.8v reference voltage between the feedback pins, v fb1 and v fb2 , and the signal ground as shown in figure 4. the output voltages are set by two resistive dividers according to the following formulas: vv r r vv r r out out 1 2 08 1 1 2 08 1 3 4 + ? ? ? ? ? ? + ? ? ? ? ? ? . . keeping the current small (<5 a) in these resistors maxi- mizes efficiency, but making the current too small may allow stray capacitance to cause noise problems and reduce the phase margin of the error amp loop. to improve the frequency response, a feed-forward ca- pacitor, c f , may also be used. great care should be taken to route the v fb node away from noise sources, such as the inductor or the sw line. applicatio s i for atio wu u u
13 ltc3417a 3417afa soft-start soft-start reduces surge currents from v in by gradually increasing the peak inductor current. power supply se- quencing can also be accomplished by controlling the i th pin. the ltc3417a has an internal digital soft-start for each regulator output, which steps up a clamp on i th over 1024 clock cycles, as can be seen in figures 2 and 3. as the voltage on i th ramps through its operating range, the internal peak current limit is also ramped at a proportional linear rate. mode selection the sync/mode pin is a multipurpose pin which provides mode selection and frequency synchronization. connect- ing this pin to v in enables burst mode operation for both regulators, which provides the best low current efficiency at the cost of a higher output voltage ripple. when sync/ mode is connected to ground, pulse skipping operation is selected for both regulators, which provides the lowest output voltage and current ripple at the cost of low current efficiency. applying a voltage that is more than 1v from either supply results in forced continuous mode for both regulators, which creates a fixed output ripple and allows the sinking of some current (about 1/2 ? i l ). since the switching noise is constant in this mode, it is also the easiest to filter out. in many cases, the output voltage can be simply connected to the sync/mode pin, selecting the forced continuous mode except at start-up. the ltc3417a can also be synchronized to an external clock signal by the sync/mode pin. the internal oscillator frequency should be set to 20% lower than the external clock frequency to ensure adequate slope compensation, since slope compensation is derived from the internal oscillator. during synchronization, the mode is set to pulse skipping and the top switch turn-on is synchronized to the rising edge of the external clock. when using an external clock, with the phase pin low, the switching of the two channels occur at the edges of the external clock. a 50% duty cycle will therefore produce 180 out-of-phase operation. checking transient response the i th pin compensation allows the transient response to be optimized for a wide range of loads and output capaci- tors. the availability of the i th pin not only allows optimi- zation of the control loop behavior, but also provides a dc coupled and ac filtered closed-loop response test point. the dc step, rise time, and settling at this test point truly reflects the closed-loop response. assuming a predomi- nantly second order system, phase margin and/or damp- ing factor can be estimated using the percentage of overshoot seen at this pin. the bandwidth can also be estimated using the percentage of overshoot seen at this pin or by examining the rise time at this pin. the i th external components shown in the figure 4 circuit will provide an adequate starting point for most applica- tions. the series rc filter sets the dominant pole-zero loop compensation. the values can be modified slightly (from 0.5 to 2 times their suggested values) to optimize transient response once the final pc layout is done and the particu- lar output capacitor type and value have been determined. applicatio s i for atio wu u u figure 2. digital soft-start out1 figure 3. digital soft-start out2 v in = 3.6v v out = 1.8v r l = 0.9 ? 200 s/div i l 1a/div v out 1v/div v run 2v/div v in = 3.6v v out = 2.5v r l = 2 ? 200 s/div i l 0.5a/div v out 1v/div v run 2v/div
14 ltc3417a 3417afa the output capacitors need to be selected because of various types and values determine the loop feedback factor gain and phase. an output current pulse of 20% to 100% of full load current having a rise time of 1 s to 10 s will produce output voltage and i th pin waveforms that will give a sense of overall loop stability without breaking the feedback loop. switching regulators take several cycles to respond to a step in load current. when a load step occurs, v out immediately shifts by an amount equal to ? i load ? esr cout , where esr cout is the effective series resistance of c out . ? i load also begins to charge or discharge c out generat- ing a feedback error signal used by the regulator to return v out to its steady-state value. during this recovery time, v out can be monitored for overshoot or ringing that would indicate a stability problem. the initial output voltage step may not be within the bandwidth of the feedback loop, so the standard second order overshoot/dc ratio cannot be used to determine phase margin. the gain of the loop increases with r ith and the bandwidth of the loop increases with decreasing c ith . if r ith is increased by the same factor that c ith is de- creased, the zero frequency will be kept the same, thereby keeping the phase the same in the most critical frequency range of the feedback loop. in addition, feedforward ca- pacitors, c1 and c2, can be added to improve the high frequency response, as shown in figure 4. capacitor c1 provides phase lead by creating a high frequency zero with r1 which improves the phase margin for the 1.5a sw1 channel. capacitor c2 provides phase lead by creating a high frequency zero with r3 which improves the phase margin for the 1a sw2 channel. the output voltage settling behavior is related to the stability of the closed-loop system and will demonstrate the actual overall supply performance. for a detailed explanation of optimizing the compensation components, including a review of control loop theory, refer to linear technology application note 76. although a buck regulator is capable of providing the full output current in dropout, it should be noted that as the input voltage v in drops toward v out , the load step capa- bility does decrease due to the decreasing voltage across the inductor. applications that require large load step capability near dropout should use a different topology such as sepic, zeta, or single inductor, positive buck boost. in some applications, a more severe transient can be caused by switching in loads with large (>1 f) input capacitors. the discharged input capacitors are effectively put in parallel with c out , causing a rapid drop in v out . no regulator can deliver enough current to prevent this prob- lem, if the switch connecting the load has low resistance and is driven quickly. the solution is to limit the turn-on speed of the load switch driver. a hot swap tm controller is designed specifically for this purpose and usually incorpo- rates current limiting, short-circuit protection, and soft- starting. efficiency considerations the percent 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. percent efficiency can be expressed as: % efficiency = 100% C (p1+ p2 + p3 +) where p1, p2, etc. are the individual losses as a percentage of input power. although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce losses, four main sources account for most of the losses in ltc3417a circuits: 1) ltc3417a i s current, 2) switch- ing losses, 3) i 2 r losses, 4) other losses. 1) the i s current is the dc supply current given in the electrical characteristics which excludes mosfet driver and control currents. i s current results in a small (< 0.1%) loss that increases with v in , even at no load. applicatio s i for atio wu u u hot swap is a trademark of linear technology corporation.
15 ltc3417a 3417afa 2) the switching current is the sum of the mosfet driver and control currents. the mosfet driver current results from switching the gate capacitance of the power mosfets. each time a mosfet gate is switched from low to high to low again, a packet of charge moves from v in to ground. the resulting charge over the switching period is a current out of v in that is typically much larger than the dc bias current. the gate charge losses are proportional to v in and thus their effects will be more pronounced at higher supply voltages. 3) i 2 r losses are calculated from the dc resistances of the internal switches, r sw , and the external inductor, r l . in continuous mode, the average output current flowing through inductor l is chopped between the internal top and bottom switches. thus, the series resistance looking into the sw pin is a function of both top and bottom mosfet r ds(on) and the duty cycle (dc) as follows: r sw = (r ds(on) top)(dc) + (r ds(on) bot)(1 C dc) the r ds(on) for both the top and bottom mosfets can be obtained from the typical performance characteristics curves. thus, to obtain i 2 r losses: i 2 r losses = i out 2 (r sw + r l ) where r l is the resistance of the inductor. 4) other hidden losses such as copper trace and internal battery resistances can account for additional efficiency degradations in portable systems. it is very important to include these system level losses in the design of a system. the internal battery and fuse resistance losses can be minimized by making sure that c in has adequate charge storage and very low esr cout at the switching frequency. other losses including diode conduction losses during dead-time and inductor core losses generally ac- count for less than 2% total additional loss. thermal considerations the ltc3417a requires the package exposed pad (pgnd2/ gndd pin) to be well soldered to the pc board. this gives the dfn and tssop packages exceptional thermal prop- erties, compared to similar packages of this size, making it difficult in normal operation to exceed the maximum junction temperature of the part. in a majority of applica- tions, the ltc3417a does not dissipate much heat due to its high efficiency. however, in applications where the ltc3417a is running at high ambient temperature with low supply voltage and high duty cycles, such as in dropout, the heat dissipated may exceed the maximum junction temperature of the part. if the junction tempera- ture reaches approximately 150 c, both switches in both regulators will be turned off and the sw nodes will become high impedance. to prevent the ltc3417a from exceeding its maximum junction temperature, the user will need to do some thermal analysis. the goal of the thermal analysis is to determine whether the power dissipated exceeds the maximum junction temperature of the part. the tempera- ture rise is given by: t rise = p d ? ja where p d is the power dissipated by the regulator and ja is the thermal resistance from the junction of the die to the ambient temperature. the junction temperature, t j , is given by: t j = t rise + t ambient as an example, consider the case when the ltc3417a is in dropout in both regulators at an input voltage of 3.3v with load currents of 1.5a and 1a. from the typical performance characteristics graph of switch resistance, applicatio s i for atio wu u u
16 ltc3417a 3417afa the r ds(on) resistance of the 1.5a p-channel switch is 0.09 ? and the r ds(on) of the 1a p-channel switch is 0.163 ? . the power dissipated by the part is: pd = i 1 2 ? r ds(on)1 + i 2 2 ? r ds(on)2 pd = 1.5 2 ? 0.09 + 1 2 ? 0.163 pd = 366mw the dfn package junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, ja , is about 43 c/w. therefore, the junction temperature of the regulator operating in a 70 c ambient temperature is approximately: t j = 0.366 ? 43 + 70 t j = 85.7 c remembering that the above junction temperature is obtained from an r ds(on) at 25 c, we might recalculate the junction temperature based on a higher r ds(on) since it increases with temperature. however, we can safely assume that the actual junction temperature will not exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature of 125 c. design example as a design example, consider using the ltc3417a in a portable application with a li-ion battery. the battery provides a v in from 2.8v to 4.2v. one load requires 1.8v at 1.5a in active mode, and 1ma in standby mode. the other load requires 2.5v at 1a in active mode, and 500 a in standby mode. since both loads still need power in standby, burst mode operation is selected for good low load efficiency (sync/mode = v in ). first, determine what frequency should be used. higher frequency results in a lower inductor value for a given ? i l ( ? i l is estimated as 0.35i load(max) ). reasonable values for wire wound surface mount inductors are usually in the range of 1 h to 10 h. converter output i load(max) ? i l sw1 1.5a 525ma sw2 1a 350ma using the 1.5mhz frequency setting (freq = v in ), we get the following equations for l 1 and l 2 : l v mhz ma v v h us 1 18 1 5 525 1 18 42 13 = ? ? ? ? ? ? = . .?
