The LT ®1614 is a fixed frequency, inverting mode switching reglator that operates from an input voltage as low as
1V. Utilizing a low noise topology, the LT1614 can generate a negative output down to – 24V from a 1V to 5V input.
Fixed frequency switching ensures a clean output free
from low frequency noise. The device contains a lowbattery detector with a 200mV reference and shuts down
to less than 10µA. No load quiescent current of the LT1614
is 1mA and the internal NPN power switch handles a
500mA current with a voltage drop of just 295mV.

OPERATIO
The LT1614 combines a current mode, fixed frequency
PWM architecture with a –1.23V reference to directly
regulate negative outputs. Operation can be best understood by referring to the block diagram of Figure 2. Q1 and
Q2 form a bandgap reference core whose loop is closed
around the output of the converter. The driven reference
point is the lower end of resistor R4, which normally sits
at a voltage of –1.23V. As the load current changes, the
NFB pin voltage also changes slightly, driving the output
of gm amplifier A1. Switch current is regulated directly on
a cycle-to-cycle basis by A1’s output. The flip-flop is set at
the beginning of each cycle, turning on the switch. When
the summation of a signal representing switch current and
a ramp generator (introduced to avoid subharmonic oscillations at duty factors greater than 50%) exceeds the VC
signal, comparator A2 changes stage, resetting the flipflop and turning off the switch. Output voltage decreases
(the magnitude increases) as switch current is increased.
The output, attenuated by external resistor divider R1 and
R2, appears at the NFB pin, closing the overall loop.
Frequency compensation is provided externally by a series
RC connected from the VC pin to ground. Typical values
are 100k and 1nF. Transient response can be tailored by
adjustment of these values.
As load current is decreased, the switch turns on for a
shorter period each cycle. If the load current is further
decreased, the converter will skip cycles to maintain
output voltage regulation.

If D2 is replaced by an inductor, as shown in Figure 4, a
higher performance solution results. This converter topology was developed by Professor S. Cuk of the California
Institute of Technology in the 1970s. A low ripple voltage
results with this topology due to inductor L2 in series with
the output. Abrupt changes in output capacitor current are
eliminated because the output inductor delivers current to
the output during both the off-time and the on-time of the
LT1614 switch. With proper layout and high quality output
capacitors, output ripple can be as low as 1mVP–P.
The operation of Cuk’s topology is shown in Figures 5
and␣ 6. During the first switching phase, the LT1614’s
switch, represented by Q1, is on. There are two current
loops in operation. The first loop begins at input capacitor
C1, flows through L1, Q1 and back to C1. The second loop
flows from output capacitor C3, through L2, C2, Q1 and
back to C3. The output current from RLOAD is supplied by
L2 and C3. The voltage at node SW is VCESAT and at node
SWX the voltage is –(VIN + |VOUT|). Q1 must conduct both
L1 and L2 current. C2 functions as a voltage level shifter,
with an approximately constant voltage of (VIN + |VOUT|)
across it.

The LT1614 can work in either of two topologies. The
simpler topology appends a capacitive level shift to a
boost converter, generating a negative output voltage,
which is directly regulated. The circuit schematic is detailed in Figure 3. Only one inductor is required, and the
two diodes can be in a single SOT-23 package. Output
noise is the same as in a boost converter, because current
is delivered to the output only during the time when the
LT1614’s internal switch is on.

U
OPERATIO
When Q1 turns off during the second phase of switching,
the SWX node voltage abruptly increases to (VIN + |VOUT|).
The SW node voltage increases to VD (about 350mV). Now
current in the first loop, begining at C1, flows through L1,
C2, D1 and back to C1. Current in the second loop flows
from C3 through L2, D1 and back to C3. Load current
continues to be supplied by L2 and C3.
rents are dumped into the ground plane as drawn in
Figures 4, 5 and 6. This single layout technique can
virtually eliminate high frequency “spike” noise so often
present on switching regulator outputs.
Output ripple voltage appears as a triangular waveform
riding on VOUT. Ripple magnitude equals the ripple current
of L2 multiplied by the equivalent series resistance (ESR)
of output capacitor C3. Increasing the inductance of L1
and L2 lowers the ripple current, which leads to lower
output voltage ripple. Decreasing the ESR of C3, by using
ceramic or other low ESR type capacitors, lowers output
ripple voltage. Output ripple voltage can be reduced to
arbitrarily low levels by using large value inductors and
low ESR, high value capacitors.
An important layout issue arises due to the chopped
nature of the currents flowing in Q1 and D1. If they are both
tied directly to the ground plane before being combined,
switching noise will be introduced into the ground plane.
It is almost impossible to get rid of this noise, once present
in the ground plane. The solution is to tie D1’s cathode to
the ground pin of the LT1614 before the combined cur–(VIN + VOUT)

Transient Response
The inverting architecture of the LT1614 can generate a
very low ripple output voltage. Recently available high
value ceramic capacitors can be used successfully in
LT1614 designs. The addition of a phase lead capacitor,
CPL, reduces output perturbations due to load steps when
lower value ceramic capacitors are used and connected in
parallel with feedback resistor R1. Figure 7 shows an
LT1614 inverting converter with resistor loads RL1 and
RL2. RL1 is connected across the output, while RL2 is
switched in externally via a pulse generator. Output voltage waveforms are pictured in subsequent figures, illustrating the performance of output capacitor type.
Figure 8 shows the output voltage with a 50mA to 200mA
load step, using an AVX TAJ “B” case 33µF tantalum
capacitor at the output. Output perturbation is approximately 250mV as the load changes from 50mA to 200mA.
Steady-state ripple voltage is 40mVP–P, due to L1’s ripple
current and C3’s ESR. Figure 9 pictures the output voltage
and switch pin voltage at 500ns per division. Note the
absence of high frequency spikes at the output. This is
easily repeatable with proper layout, described in the next
section.
In Figure 10, output capacitor C3 is replaced by a ceramic
unit. These large value capacitors have ESR of 2mΩ or less
and result in very low output ripple. A 1nF capacitor, CPL,
connected across R1 reduces output perburbation due to
load step. This keeps the output voltage within 5% of
steady-state value. Figure 11 pictures the output and
switch nodes at 500ns per division. Output ripple is about
5mVP-P. Again, good layout is essential to achieve this low
noise performance.
Layout
The LT1614 switches current at high speed, mandating
careful attention to layout for best performance. You will
not get advertised performance with careless layout. Figure␣ 12
shows recommended component placement. Follow this
closely in your printed circuit layout. The cut ground
copper at D1’s cathode is essential to obtain the low noise
achieved in Figures 10 and 11’s oscillographs. Input
bypass capacitor C1 should be placed close to the LT1614
as shown. The load should connect directly to output
capacitor C2 for best load regulation. You can tie the local
ground into the system ground plane at C3’s ground
terminal.

Each of the two inductors used with the LT1614 should
have a saturation current rating (where inductance is
approximately 70% of zero current inductance) of approximately 0.4A or greater. If the device is used in
“charge pump” mode, where there is only one inductor,
then its rating should be 0.75A or greater. DCR of the
inductors should be 0.4Ω or less. 22µH inductors are
called out in the applications schematics because these
Murata units are physically small and inexpensive. Increasing the inductance will lower ripple current, increasing available output current. A coupled inductor of 33µH,
such as Coiltronics CTX33-2, will provide 290mA at – 5V
from a 5V input. Inductance can be reduced if operating
from a supply voltage below 3V. Table 1 lists several
inductors that will work with the LT1614, although this is
not an exhaustive list. There are many magnetics vendors
whose components are suitable.

OPERATIO
Capacitors
As described previously, ceramic capacitors can be used
with the LT1614. For lower cost applications, small tantalum units can be used. A value of 22µF is acceptable,
although larger capacitance values can be used. ESR is the
most important parameter in selecting an output capacitor. The “flying” capacitor (C2 in the schematic figures)
should be a 1µF ceramic type. An X5R or X7R dielectric
should be used to avoid capacitance decreasing severely
with applied voltage. The input bypass capacitor is less
critical, and either tantalum or ceramic can be used with
little trade-off in circuit performance. Some capacitor
types appropriate for use with the LT1614 are listed in
Table 2.
Diodes
A Schottky diode is recommended for use with the LT1614.
The Motorola MBR0520 is a very good choice. Where the
input to output voltage differential exceeds 20V, use the
MBR0530 ( a 30V diode).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Shutdown Pin
3.3V
R1
The LT1614 has a Shutdown pin (SHDN) that must be
grounded to shut the device down or tied to a voltage equal
or greater than VIN to operate. The shutdown circuit is
shown in Figure 13.

Note that allowing SHDN to float turns on both the startup current (Q2) and the shutdown current (Q3) for VIN >
2VBE. The LT1614 doesn’t know what to do in this situation
and behaves erratically. SHDN voltage above VIN is allowed. This merely reverse-biases Q3’s base emitter junction, a benign condition. The low-battery detector is disabled when SHDN is low.

Low-Battery Detector
The LT1614’s low-battery detector is a simple PNP input
gain stage with an open collector NPN output. The negative input of the gain stage is tied internally to a 200mV
reference. The positive input is the LBI pin. Arrangement
as a low-battery detector is straightforward. Figure 14
details hookup. R1 and R2 need only be low enough in
value so that the bias current of the LBI pin doesn’t cause
large errors. For R2, 100k is adequate. The 200mV reference can also be accessed as shown in Figure 15. The lowbattery detect is not operative when the device is shut
down.
Coupled Inductors
The applications shown in this data sheet use two uncoupled inductors because the Murata units specified are
small and inexpensive. This topology can also be used
with a coupled inductor as shown in Figure 16. Be sure to
get the phasing right.
