10 ltc1436a ltc1436-pll-a/ltc1437a operatio u (refer to functional diagram) main control loop the ltc1436a/ltc1437a use a constant frequency, cur- rent mode step-down architecture. during normal opera- tion, the top mosfet is turned on each cycle when the oscillator sets the rs latch and turned off when the main current comparator i1 resets the rs latch. the peak inductor current at which i1 resets the rs latch is con- trolled by the voltage on i th pin, which is the output of error amplifier ea. v prgm and v osense pins, described in the pin functions, allow ea to receive an output feedback voltage v fb from either internal or external resistive dividers. when the load current increases, it causes a slight decrease in v fb relative to the 1.19v reference, which in turn causes the i th voltage to increase until the average inductor current matches the new load current. while the top mosfet is off, the bottom mosfet is turned on until either the inductor current starts to reverse, as indicated by current compara- tor i2, or the beginning of the next cycle. the top mosfet drivers are biased from floating boot- strap capacitor c b , which normally is recharged during each off cycle. however, when v in decreases to a voltage close to v out , the loop may enter dropout and attempt to turn on the top mosfet continuously. the dropout detec- tor counts the number of oscillator cycles that the top mosfet remains on, and periodically forces a brief off period to allow c b to recharge. the main control loop is shut down by pulling run/ss pin low. releasing run/ss allows an internal 3 m a current source to charge soft start capacitor c ss . when c ss reaches 1.3v, the main control loop is enabled with the i th voltage clamped at approximately 30% of its maximum value. as c ss continues to charge, i th is gradually re- leased allowing normal operation to resume. comparator ov guards against transient overshoots > 7.5% by turning off the top mosfet and keeping it off until the fault is removed. low current operation adaptive power mode allows the ltc1436a/ltc1437a to automatically change between two output stages sized for different load currents. tgl and bg pins drive large synchronous n-channel mosfets for operation at high currents, while the tgs pin drives a much smaller n-channel mosfet used in conjunction with a schottky diode for operation at low currents. this allows the loop to continue to operate at normal frequency as the load current decreases without incurring the large mosfet gate charge losses. if the tgs pin is left open, the loop defaults to burst mode operation in which the large mosfets operate intermittently based on load demand. adaptive power mode provides constant frequency opera- tion down to approximately 1% of rated load current. this results in an order of magnitude reduction of load current before burst mode operation commences. without the small mosfet (i.e.: no adaptive power mode), the transi- tion to burst mode operation is approximately 10% of rated load current. the transition to low current operation begins when com- parator i2 detects current reversal and turns off the bottom mosfet. if the voltage across r sense does not exceed the hysteresis of i2 (approximately 20mv) for one full cycle, then on following cycles the top drive is routed to the small mosfet at tgs pin and bg pin is disabled. this continues until an inductor current peak exceeds 20mv/ r sense or the i th voltage exceeds 0.6v, either of which causes drive to be returned to tgl pin on the next cycle. two conditions can force continuous synchronous opera- tion, even when the load current would otherwise dictate low current operation. one is when the common mode voltage of the sense + and sense C pins is below 1.4v and the other is when the sfb pin is below 1.19v. the latter condition is used to assist in secondary winding regulation as described in the applications information section. frequency synchronization a phase-locked loop (pll) is available on the ltc1436a-pll and ltc1437a to allow the oscillator to be synchronized to an external source connected to the pllin pin. the output of the phase detector at the pll lpf pin is also the control input of the oscillator, which operates over a 0v to 2.4v range corresponding to C 30% to 30% in frequency. when locked, the pll aligns the turn- on of the top mosfet to the rising edge of the synchroniz- ing signal. when pllin is left open or at a constant dc voltage, pll lpf goes low, forcing the oscillator to mini- mum frequency.
11 ltc1436a ltc1436a-pll/ltc1437a operatio u (refer to functional diagram) power-on reset the por pin is an open drain output which pulls low when the main regulator output voltage is out of regulation. when the output voltage rises to within 7.5% of regula- tion, a timer is started which releases por after 2 16 (65536) oscillator cycles. in shutdown, the por output is pulled low. auxiliary linear regulator the auxiliary linear regulator in the ltc1436a/ltc1437a controls an external pnp transistor for operation up to 500ma. an internal auxfb resistive divider set for 12v operation is invoked when auxdr pin is above 9.5v to allow 12v vpp supplies to be easily implemented. when auxdr is below 8.5v an external feedback divider may be used to set other output voltages. taking the auxon pin low shuts down the auxiliary regulator providing a conve- nient logic controlled power supply. the aux block can be used as a comparator having its inverting input tied to the internal 1.19v reference. the auxdr pin is used as the output and requires an external pull-up to a supply less than 8.5v in order to inhibit the invoking of the internal resistive divider. intv cc /drv cc /extv cc power power for the top and bottom mosfet drivers and most of the other ltc1436a/ltc1437a circuitry is derived from the intv cc pin. the bottom mosfet driver supply drv cc pin is internally connected to intv cc in the ltc1436a and externally connected to intv cc in the ltc1437a. when the extv cc pin is left open, an internal 5v low dropout regulator supplies intv cc power. if extv cc is taken above 4.8v, the 5v regulator is turned off and an internal switch is turned on to connect extv cc to intv cc . this allows the intv cc power to be derived from a high efficiency external source such as the output of the regulator itself or a secondary winding, as described in the applications infor- mation section. applicatio n s i n for m atio n wu u u the basic ltc1436a application circuit is shown in figure 1, high efficiency step-down converter. external compo- nent selection is driven by the load requirement, and begins with the selection of r sense . once r sense is known, c osc and l can be chosen. next, the power mosfets and d1 are selected. finally, c in and c out are selected. the circuit shown in figure 1 can be configured for operation up to an input voltage of 28v (limited by the external mosfets). r sense selection for output current r sense is chosen based on the required output current. the ltc1436a/ltc1437a current comparator has a maxi- mum threshold of 150mv/r sense and an input common mode range of sgnd to intv cc . the current comparator threshold sets the peak of the inductor current, yielding a maximum average output current i max equal to the peak value less half the peak-to-peak ripple current d i l . allowing a margin for variations in the ltc1436a/ ltc1437a and external component values yields: r mv sense max = 100 i the ltc1436a/ltc1437a work well with r sense values 3 0.005 w . c osc selection for operating frequency the ltc1436a/ltc1437a use a constant frequency architecture with the frequency determined by an external oscillator capacitor c osc . each time the topside mosfet turns on, the voltage on c osc is reset to ground. during the on-time, c osc is charged by a fixed current plus an additional current which is proportional to the output voltage of the phase detector v plllpf (ltc1436a-pll/ ltc1437a). when the voltage on the capacitor reaches 1.19v, c osc is reset to ground. the process then repeats. the value of c osc is calculated from the desired operating frequency. assuming the phase-locked loop has no exter- nal oscillator input (v plllpf = 0v):

(see phase-locked loop and frequency syn- chronization.) for low duty cycle, high frequency applications where the required minimum on-time, t v vf on min out in max () () = ()() is less than 350ns, there may be further restrictions on the inductance to ensure proper operation. see minimum on- time considerations section for more details. operating frequency (khz) 0 inductor value ( h) 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 50 100 150 200 1436 f03 250 300 v out = 5v v out = 3.3v v out 2.5v figure 3. recommended inductor values d i fl v v v l out out in = ()( ) - ? ? ? ? 1 1 accepting larger values of d i l allows the use of low inductances, but results in higher output voltage ripple and greater core losses. a reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is d i l = 0.4 (i max ). remember, the maximum d i l occurs at the maximum input voltage. the inductor value also has an effect on low current operation. the transition to low current operation begins when the inductor current reaches zero while the bottom mosfet is on. lower inductor values (higher d i l ) will cause this to occur at higher load currents, which can cause a dip in efficiency in the upper range of low current operation. in burst mode operation (tgs pin open), lower inductance values will cause the burst frequency to decrease. the figure 3 graph gives a range of recommended induc- tor values vs operating frequency and v out .

(a higher r ds(on) mosfet has a smaller gate capacitance and thus requires less current to charge its gate). for cost sensitive applications the small mosfet can be removed. the circuit will then begin burst mode operation as the load current is dropped. the peak-to-peak gate drive levels are set by the intv cc voltage. this voltage is typically 5v during start-up (see extv cc pin connection). consequently, logic level threshold mosfets must be used in most ltc1436a/ ltc1437a applications. the only exception is applications in which extv cc is powered from an external supply greater than 8v (must be less than 10v), in which standard threshold mosfets [v gs(th) < 4v] may be used. pay close attention to the bv dss specification for the mosfets as well; many of the logic level mosfets are limited to 30v or less. selection criteria for the power mosfets include the on resistance r sd(on) , reverse transfer capacitance c rss , input voltage and maximum output current. when the ltc1436a/ltc1437a are operating in continuous mode the duty cycles for the top and bottom mosfets are given by: main switch duty cycle = v v out in synchronous switch duty cycle = v in - () v v out in kool m m is a registered trademark of magnetics, inc. p v v ir kv i c f p vv v ir main out in max ds on in max rss sync in out in max ds on = () + () + () ( )( )() = - () + () () () 2 185 2 1 1 d d . inductor core selection once the value for l is known, the type of inductor must be selected. high efficiency converters generally cannot afford the core loss found in low cost powdered iron cores, forcing the use of more expensive ferrite, molypermalloy, or kool m m ? cores. actual core loss is independent of core size for a fixed inductor value, but it is very dependent on inductance selected. as inductance increases, core losses go down. unfortunately, increased inductance requires more turns of wire and therefore copper losses will increase. ferrite designs have very low core loss and are prefered at high switching frequencies, so design goals can concen- trate on copper loss and preventing saturation. ferrite core material saturates hard, which means that induc- tance collapses abruptly when the peak design current is exceeded. this results in an abrupt increase in inductor ripple current and consequent output voltage ripple. do not allow the core to saturate! molypermalloy (from magnetics, inc.) is a very good, low loss core material for toroids, but it is more expensive than ferrite. a reasonable compromise from the same manu- facturer is kool m m . toroids are very space efficient, especially when you can use several layers of wire. because they generally lack a bobbin, mounting is more difficult. however, designs for surface mount are available which do not increase the height significantly. power mosfet and d1 selection three external power mosfets must be selected for use with the ltc1436a/ltc1437a: a pair of n-channel mos- fets for the top (main) switch and an n-channel mosfet for the bottom (synchronous) switch. to take advantage of the adaptive power output stage, two topside mosfets must be selected. a large (low r sd(on) ) mosfet and a small (higher r ds(on) ) mosfet are required. the large mosfet is used as the main switch and works in conjunction with the synchronous switch. the smaller mosfet is only enabled under low load current conditions. this increases midcurrent efficiencies while continuing to operate at constant frequency. also, by using the small mosfet the circuit can maintain constant the mosfet power dissipations at maximum output current are given by:
