LTC3563 500mA, Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC Converter with Selectable Output Voltage DESCRIPTIO
The LTC(R)3563 is a high efficiency monolithic synchronous buck converter using a constant frequency, current mode architecture. A voltage select input allows the user to program the output voltage to 1.28V or 1.87V. Supply current during operation is only 26A, dropping to <1A in shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range makes the LTC3563 ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-powered applications. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation, extending battery life in portable systems. Internal power switches are optimized to provide high efficiency and eliminate the need for an external Schottky diode. The switching frequency is internally set at 2.25MHz, allowing the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors. The LTC3563 is specifically designed to work well with ceramic output capacitors, achieving very low output voltage ripple and a small PCB footprint. The LTC3563 is configured for the power saving Burst Mode Operation.

LTC3563 OPERATIO
The LTC3563 uses a constant frequency, current mode, step-down architecture. The operating frequency is set at 2.25MHz. The output voltage is set by an internal divider. An error amplifier compares the divided output voltage with a reference voltage of 0.6V and adjusts the peak inductor current accordingly. Main Control Loop During normal operation, the top power switch (P-channel MOSFET) is turned on at the beginning of a clock cycle when the VOUT voltage is below the regulated voltage. The current flows into the inductor and the load increases until the current limit is reached. The switch turns off and energy stored in the inductor flows through the bottom switch (N-channel MOSFET) into the load until the next clock cycle. The peak inductor current is controlled by the internally compensated output of the error amplifier. When the load current increases, the feedback voltage decreases slightly below the reference. This decrease causes the error amplifier to increase its output 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. Burst Mode Operation During light load currents, the LTC3563 operates in Burst Mode operation in which the internal power MOSFETs operate intermittently based on load demand.

U
In Burst Mode operation, the peak current of the inductor is set to approximately 60mA regardless of the output load. Each burst event can last from a few cycles at light loads to almost continuously cycling with short sleep intervals at moderate loads. In between these burst events, the power MOSFETs and any unneeded circuitry are turned off, reducing the quiescent current to 26A. In this sleep state, the load current is being supplied solely from the output capacitor. As the output voltage drops, the EA amplifier's output rises above the sleep threshold and turns the top MOSFET on. This process repeats at a rate that is dependent on the load demand. By running cycles periodically, the switching losses which are dominated by the gate charge losses of the power MOSFETs are minimized. Low Supply Operation To prevent unstable operation, the LTC3563 incorporates an undervoltage lockout circuit which shuts down the part when the input voltage drops below 2V. Internal Soft-Start At start-up when the RUN pin is brought high, the internal reference is linearly ramped from 0V to 0.6V in about 1ms. The regulated output voltage follows this ramp from 0% to 100% in 1ms. The current in the inductor during soft-start is defined by the combination of the current needed to charge the output capacitance and the current provided to the load as the output voltage ramps up. The start-up waveform, shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics, shows the output voltage start-up from 0V to 1.87V with a 500mA load and VIN = 3.6V.

LTC3563 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
A general LTC3563 application circuit is shown in Figure1. External component selection is driven by the load requirement and begins with the selection of the inductor L. Once the inductor is chosen, CIN and COUT can be selected.

Figure 1. LTC3563 General Schematic
Inductor Selection The inductor value has a direct effect on ripple current IL, which decreases with higher inductance and increases with higher VIN or VOUT, as shown in following equation: IL = VOUT VOUT 1- O * L VIN
where fO is the switching frequency. A reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is IL = 0.4 * IOUT(MAX), where IOUT(MAX) is 500mA. The largest ripple current IL 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 equation: L= VOUT VOUT 1- O * IL VIN(MAX )
The DC current rating of the inductor should be at least equal to the maximum load current plus half the ripple current to prevent core saturation. Thus, a 600mA rated inductor should be enough for most applications (500mA + 100mA). For better efficiency, choose a low DC-resistance inductor. The inductor value will also have an effect on Burst Mode operation. The transition to low current operation begins when the inductor's peak current falls below a level set by
U
the burst clamp. Lower inductor values result in higher ripple current which causes the transition 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 inductance values cause the burst frequency to increase. Inductor Core Selection Different core materials and shapes change the size/current and price/current relationships of an inductor. 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 electrical characteristics. The choice of which style inductor to use often depends more on the price vs size requirements and any radiated field/EMI requirements than on what the LTC3563 requires to operate. Table 1 shows some typical surface mount inductors that work well in LTC3563 applications. Input Capacitor (CIN) Selection In continuous mode, the input current of the converter is a square wave with a duty cycle of approximately VOUT/VIN. To prevent large voltage transients, a low equivalent series resistance (ESR) input capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current must be used. The maximum RMS capacitor current is given by: IRMS IMAX VOUT ( VIN - VOUT ) VIN
COUT
W
UU
where the maximum average output current IMAX equals the peak current minus half the peak-to-peak ripple current, IMAX = ILIM - IL/2. This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where IRMS = IOUT/2. This simple worst-case is commonly used to design because even significant deviations do not offer much relief. Note that capacitor manufacturer's ripple current ratings are often based on only 2000 hours life time. 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 0.1F to 1F ceramic capacitor is also recommended on VIN for high frequency decoupling, when not using an all ceramic capacitor solution. Output Capacitor (COUT) Selection The selection of COUT is driven by the required ESR to minimize voltage ripple and load step transients. Typically, once the ESR requirement is satisfied, the RMS current rating generally far exceeds the IRIPPLE(P-P) requirement, except for an all ceramic solution. The output ripple (VOUT) is determined by: 1 VOUT IL ESR + 8 * O * COUT where fO is the switching frequency, COUT is the output capacitance and IL is the inductor ripple current. For a fixed output voltage, the output ripple is highest at maximum input voltage since IL increases with input voltage. If tantalum capacitors are used, 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 mount tantalums, available in case heights ranging from 2mm to 4mm. These are specially constructed and tested for low ESR so they give the lowest ESR for a given volume. Other capacitor types include Sanyo POSCAP, Kemet T510 and

T495 series, and Sprague 593D and 595D series. Consult the manufacturer for other specific recommendations. Ceramic Input and Output Capacitors Higher value, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now becoming available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple current rating, high voltage rating and low ESR are tempting for switching regulator use. However, the ESR is so low that it can cause loop stability problems. Since the LTC3563's control loop does not depend on the output capacitor's ESR for stable operation, ceramic capacitors can be used to achieve very low output ripple and small circuit size. X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors are recommended because these dielectrics have the best temperature and voltage characteristics of all the ceramics for a given value and size. 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 VIN 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. For more information, see Application Note 88. The recommended capacitance value to use is 10F for both input and output capacitors.

LTC3563 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Efficiency Considerations The 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. Efficiency can be expressed as: Efficiency = 100% - (L1 + L2 + L3 + ...) where L1, L2, etc. are the individual losses as a percentage of input power. Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce losses, three main sources usually account for most of the losses in LTC3563 circuits: 1) VIN quiescent current, 2) I2R loss and 3) switching loss. VIN quiescent current loss dominates the power loss at very low load currents, whereas the other two dominate at medium to high load currents. In a typical efficiency plot, the efficiency curve at very low load currents can be misleading since the actual power loss is of no consequence as illustrated in Figure 2.

1) The VIN quiescent current is the DC supply current given in the Electrical Characteristics which excludes MOSFET charging current. VIN current results in a small (<0.1%) loss that increases with VIN, even at no load. 2) I2R losses are calculated from the DC resistances of the internal switches, RSW, and external inductor, RL. In continuous mode, the average output current flows through inductor L, but 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 RDS(ON) and the duty cycle (D) as follows: RSW = (RDS(ON)TOP)(D) + (RDS(ON)BOT)(1 - D) The RDS(ON) for both the top and bottom MOSFETs can be obtained from the Typical Performance Characteristics curves. Thus, to obtain I2R losses: I2R losses = IOUT2(RSW + RL) 3) The switching current is MOSFET gate charging current, that 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 dQ moves from VIN to ground. The resulting dQ/dt is a current out of VIN that is typically much larger than the DC bias current. In continuous mode, IGATECHG = fO(QT + QB), where QT and QB are the gate charges of the internal top and bottom MOSFET switches. The gate charge losses are proportional to VIN and thus their effects will be more pronounced at higher supply voltages. Other "hidden" losses such as copper trace and internal battery resistances can account for additional efficiency degradations in portable systems. The internal battery and fuse resistance losses can be minimized by making sure that CIN has adequate charge storage and very low ESR at the switching frequency. Other losses include diode conduction losses during dead-time and inductor core losses generally account for less than 2% total additional loss.

LTC3563 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Thermal Considerations In most applications the LTC3563 does not dissipate much heat due to its high efficiency. But in applications where the LTC3563 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 temperature reaches approximately 150C, both power switches will be turned off and the SW node will become high impedance. To avoid the LTC3563 from exceeding the maximum junction temperature, the user needs 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 temperature rise is given by: TR = (PD)(JA) where PD is the power dissipated by the regulator and JA is the thermal resistance from the junction of the die to the ambient. The junction temperature, TJ, is given by: TJ = TA + TR where TA is the ambient temperature. As an example, consider the LTC3563 with an output voltage of 1.87V, an input voltage of 2.7V, a load current of 500mA and an ambient temperature of 70C. From the typical performance graph of switch resistance, the RDS(ON) of the P-channel switch at 70C is approximately 0.7 and the RDS(ON) of the N-channel synchronous switch is approximately 0.4. The duty cycle in this case is approximately 70%. The series resistance looking into the SW pin is: RSW = 0.7 (0.7) + 0.4 (0.3) = 0.61 Therefore, for the power dissipated by the part is: PD = ILOAD2 * RSW = 152.5mW For the DFN package, the JA is 40C/W. Thus, the junction temperature of the regulator is: TJ = 70C + (0.1525)(40) = 76.1C

U
which is below the maximum junction temperature of 125C. Note that at higher supply voltages, the junction temperature is lower due to reduced switch resistance (RDS(ON)). Checking Transient Response The regulator loop response can be checked by looking at the load transient response. Switching regulators take several cycles to respond to a step in load current. When a load step occurs, VOUT immediately shifts by an amount equal to ILOAD * ESR, where ESR is the effective series resistance of COUT. ILOAD also begins to charge or discharge COUT, generating a feedback error signal used by the regulator to return VOUT to its steady-state value. During this recovery time, VOUT can be monitored for overshoot or ringing that would indicate a stability problem. 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 Application Note 76. In some applications, a more severe transient can be caused by switching loads with large (>1F) bypass capacitors. The discharged bypass capacitors are effectively put in parallel with COUT, causing a rapid drop in VOUT. No regulator can deliver enough current to prevent this problem, 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 SwapTM controller is designed specifically for this purpose and usually incorporates current limit, short circuit protection and soft-start. Design Example As a design example, assume the LTC3563 is used in a single lithium-ion battery-powered cellular phone application. The VIN will be operating from a maximum of 4.2V down to about 2.7V. The load current requirement is a maximum of 0.5A, but most of the time it will be in standby mode, requiring only 2mA. Efficiency at both low and high load currents is important. Output voltage is either 1.87V or 1.28V.

L= V 1 * VOUT * 1- OUT f * IL VIN With this information we can calculate L using:
Substituting VOUT = 1.87V, VIN = 4.2V, IL = 200mA and f = 2.25MHz gives: L= 1.87 V 1.87 V * 1- = 2.31H 2.25MHz * 200mA 4.2V With VOUT = 1.28 V
1.28 V 1.28 V * 1- = 1.98H L= 2.25MHz * 200mA 4.2V Choosing a vendor's closest inductor value of 2.2H results in a maximum ripple current of: For VOUT = 1.87 V IL = 1.87 V 1.87 V * 1 - = 209.6mA 2.25MHz * 2.2H 4.2V
For VOUT = 1.28 V 1.28 V 1.28 V * 1 - = 179.8mA IL = 2.25MHz * 2.2H 4.2V

CIN will require an RMS current rating of at least 0.25A ILOAD(MAX)/2 at temperature and COUT will require ESR of less than 0.2. In most cases, ceramic capacitors will satisfy these requirements. Select COUT = 10F and CIN = 10F. Figure 3 shows the complete circuit along with its efficiency curve, load step response and recommended layout. PC Board Layout Checklist When laying out the printed circuit board, the following checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of the LTC3563. These items are also illustrated graphically in Figure 3b. Check the following in your layout: 1. The power traces, consisting of the GND trace, the SW trace and the VIN trace should be kept short, direct and wide. 2. Does the (+) plate of CIN connect to VIN as closely as possible? This capacitor provides the AC current to the internal power MOSFETs. 3. Keep the (-) plates of CIN and COUT as close as possible.
