QFN Package
The LT®3095 generates two low noise bias supplies from
a common input voltage ranging from 3V to 20V. Each
channel includes a fixed frequency, peak current-mode
step-up switching regulator and a low noise, singleresistor-programmable 50mA linear regulator. The linear
regulator’s high power supply ripple rejection (PSRR)
combined with its low noise performance results in less
than 100µVP-P output ripple and noise.
nn
Each boost regulator adjusts its output voltage to 2V above
the corresponding linear regulator’s output voltage, optimizing power dissipation, PSRR and transient response.
This tracking scheme, along with internal boost regulator
frequency compensation and integrated Schottky diodes,
minimizes external component count and simplifies system
design. Each linear regulator includes internal current limit
and thermal limit protection circuitry.
The LT3095 switching frequency is externally programmable with a single resistor from 450kHz to 2MHz. A
SYNC pin allows synchronization to an external clock. The
LT3095 is available in a thermally enhanced, low profile
(0.75mm) 24-lead 3mm × 5mm QFN package.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime. Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values
beyond which the life of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: The LT3095E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C
to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization, and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LT3095I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. The LT3095MP is 100% tested over the –55°C to
125°C operating junction temperature range.

Note 3: The boost peak current limit is measured in a low frequency test
mode. In operation at high frequencies, the inductor current may exceed
this value due to delays in the control circuitry.
Note 4: Linear Technology® is unable to guarantee maximum load
regulation due to production test limitations with Kelvin-sensing the
package pins. Please consult the Typical Performance Characteristics for
curves of output regulation as a function of load current.
Note 5: For VOUT 1.25V.

PIN FUNCTIONS
GND (Pins 1, 5, 7, 14, 16, 20, Exposed Pad Pin 25):
Ground. Tie the exposed pad Pin 25 directly to all other
GND pins for optimum performance. The exposed pad
provides enhanced thermal performance with its connection to the PCB ground.
BSTOUT1 (Pin 2): Channel 1 Step-Up Regulator Output.
This pin is Channel 1’s boost converter output. Connect
BSTOUT1 directly to LDOIN1. Connect the boost output
capacitor directly from BSTOUT1 to Pin 1’s GND. An internal
feedback loop regulates BSTOUT1’s voltage typically to
(OUT1 + 2V). This optimizes transient response and PSRR
performance of the Linear Regulator.
NC (Pin 3): No Connect. Pin 3 has no internal electrical
connection and may be floated or tied to GND.
INTVCC (Pin 4): Internal Regulator Output. INTVCC powers
most of the internal circuitry for both channels. It nominally regulates to 2.7V. INTVCC is not designed to power
any external load and should not be driven. Connect a
minimum value 0.1µF or higher ceramic capacitor directly
from INTVCC to Pin 5’s GND.
LDOIN1 (Pin 6): Channel 1 Linear Regulator Input. This pin
is Channel 1’s linear regulator input supply pin. Connect
Pin 6 directly to BSTOUT1 at Pin 2.
OUT1 (Pin 8): Channel 1 Linear Regulator Output. This
pin supplies power to Channel 1’s load. Use a minimum
value 2.2µF ceramic capacitor with an ESR less than 0.1Ω
to prevent oscillations. Large load transient applications
require larger value output capacitors to limit peak voltage transients. See the applications information section
for more information on output capacitance. Connect the
output capacitor and the load directly to Pin 7’s GND.
SET1 (Pin 9): Output Voltage Set. This pin is the noninverting input to Channel 1’s LDO error amplifier and the
regulation setpoint. A precision, trimmed 50µA flows out of
SET1. Connecting a resistor from SET1 to GND programs
Channel 1’s output voltage (VOUT = 50µA • RSET1, Ohm’s
Law). Output voltage ranges from 1V to 20V. Connecting
a capacitor from SET1 to Pin 7’s GND improves transient
response, PSRR, noise performance and soft starts the
output. SET1 requires a minimum capacitor of 10nF. Larger
value capacitors reduce output noise while correspondingly increasing startup time. For precision applications,
an external reference or power supply may drive SET1 (see
Applications Information section). This power supply must
be current-limited to < 1mA or diode-clamped to exceed
VLDOIN1 by no more than 1V.
EN1 (Pin 10): Channel 1’s Enable. Pulling EN1 low disables
Channel 1’s boost converter and linear regulator, thus
turning the output off. Its typical rising threshold is 1.23V
with 125mV of hysteresis. Pulling both EN1 and EN2 low
activates the micropower shutdown state in which internal
circuit blocks shared by both channels are also disabled.
EN1 can be used as a digital shutdown pin or, with the
use of an external resistor divider, an external VIN UVLO
threshold can be programmed. If EN1 is unused, tie EN1
to VIN. Do not float EN1.
EN2 (Pin 11): Channel 2’s Enable. Pulling EN2 low turns
off Channel 2’s boost converter and linear regulator, thus
turning the output off. Its typical rising threshold is 1.23V
with 125mV of hysteresis. Pulling both EN1 and EN2 low
activates the micropower shutdown state in which internal
circuit blocks shared by both channels are also disabled.
EN2 can be used as a shutdown pin or, with the use of an
external resistor divider, an external VIN UVLO threshold
can be programmed. If EN2 is unused, tie EN2 to VIN. Do
not float EN2.
SET2 (Pin 12): Output Voltage Set. This pin is the noninverting input to Channel 2’s LDO error amplifier and the
regulation setpoint. A precision, trimmed 50µA flows out of
SET2. Connecting a resistor from SET2 to GND programs
Channel 2’s output voltage (VOUT2 = 50µA • RSET2, Ohm’s
Law). Output voltage ranges from 1V to 20V. Connecting a
capacitor from SET2 to Pin 14’s GND improves transient
response, PSRR, noise performance and soft starts the
output. SET2 requires a minimum capacitor of 10nF. Larger
value capacitors reduce output noise while correspondingly increasing startup time. For precision applications,
an external reference or power supply may drive SET2 (see
Applications Information section). This power supply must
be current-limited to < 1mA or diode-clamped to exceed
VLDOIN2 by no more than 1V.

PIN FUNCTIONS
OUT2 (Pin 13): Channel 2 Linear Regulator Output. This
pin supplies power to Channel 2’s load. Use a minimum
value 2.2µF ceramic capacitor with an ESR less than 0.1Ω
to prevent oscillations. Large load transient applications
require larger value output capacitors to limit peak voltage transients. See the applications information section
for more information on output capacitance. Return the
output capacitor and the load directly to Pin 14’s GND.
LDOIN2 (Pin 15): Channel 2 Linear Regulator Input. This
pin is Channel 2’s linear regulator input supply pin. Connect Pin 15 directly to BSTOUT2 at Pin 19.
RT (Pin 17): Oscillator Frequency Target. A single resistor
from RT to ground programs the internal oscillator from
450kHz to 2MHz. If synchronizing to an external clock,
connect a resistor to program the oscillator to a frequency
close to the SYNC clock frequency. Do not load the RT
pin with a capacitor.
SYNC (Pin 18): External Clock Synchronization Input.
Ground this pin to use the internal oscillator. Tie to a
logic-level clock source for external synchronization. Do
not leave floating.
10
BSTOUT2 (Pin 19): Channel 2 Step-Up Regulator Output.
This pin is Channel 2’s boost converter output. Connect
BSTOUT2 directly to LDOIN2. Connect the boost output
capacitor directly from BSTOUT2 to Pin 20’s GND. An
internal feedback loop regulates BSTOUT2’s voltage typically to (OUT2 + 2V). This optimizes transient response
and PSRR performance of the Linear Regulator.
SW2 (21): Channel 2 Step-Up Regulator Switch Node.
The SW pin is connected internally to the collector of the
power switch and Schottky anode of the corresponding
boost regulator. This is the path for boost input power of
Channel 2.
IN (Pins 23, 22): Input Bias Supply. The IN pins supply
current to the INTVCC regulator and switch drivers. These
pins must be locally bypassed with a minimum of 2.2µF
of low-ESR capacitance. Place the positive terminal of the
capacitor as close as possible to IN pins and return near
to Pin 1 & PIN 20’s GND. Note that Pins 22 and 23 are
internally connected.
SW1 (24): Channel 1 Step-Up Regulator Switch Node.
The SW pin is connected internally to the collector of the
power switch and Schottky anode of the corresponding
boost regulator. This is the path for boost input power of
Channel 1.

LT3095
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LT3095 is an easy-to-use step-up bias generator with
two independent channels supporting loads up to 50mA.
Since the boost converters are monolithic and feature internal compensation, the LT3095 is easy to configure with
a few external components. The output of each switcher is
post-regulated by a linear regulator to filter output ripple
and provide a precision DC voltage with very low noise for
biasing sensitive circuits and sensors. The output of each
channel is programmed with a single resistor and internal
feedback automatically regulates the output of each boost
converter to 2V above the corresponding linear regulator’s
output. The filtered outputs are protected by independent
current limit and thermal shutdown.

The SET pin voltage is buffered to the output, so the linear
regulator always operates in unity gain configuration. This
allows optimal loop gain and bandwidth regardless of
output voltage. With this architecture, it is also possible
to drive the set pin externally for a dynamic supply (see
the Typical Applications section below).
The LT3095 step-up regulator tracks the output of the linear
regulator and maintains 2V typically between LDOIN and
OUT of each channel. This input-to-output voltage control
obviates the need to externally program the boost output
voltage and insures controlled power dissipation in the
linear regulator pass device, even if the target output voltage
is adjusted or programmed dynamically during operation.

The LT3095 step-up converters are internally compensated
and require an output capacitor, which also serves as the
input capacitor for the linear regulator. A value of 10µF is
recommended. Consider capacitance degradation under
bias and temperature conditions, as outlined below. The
connection of the boost output capacitor on the PCB is
crucial for ripple performance, as discussed in the Pin
Functions section.

Figure 1 illustrates the architecture of the LT3095. The
boost converter simply regulates the difference between
LDOIN and OUT – no external feedback configuration is
necessary. The linear regulators have a single-resistorprogrammable reference architecture. An accurate,
temperature-compensated 50µA current flows out of the
SET pin and into an external resistor, RSET, to establish
the reference for the linear regulator output voltage. To

Linear Regulator Stability & Output Capacitor
The LT3095 linear regulators are stable with a minimum
output capacitance of 2.2µF (ESR < 0.1Ω). Use low-ESR
multilayer ceramic capacitors and give consideration to
the actual capacitance under bias and temperature conditions. See the Effective Operating Capacitance section for
more information.
The linear regulator feedback loop has very high bandwidth,
allowing it to respond quickly to load steps and actively
correct input ripple feed-through up to frequencies near
the self-resonance of a typical multilayer ceramic capaci-

LT3095
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
If capacitor types with higher ESR (>100 mΩ) or lower
self-resonant frequencies (< 500 kHz) must be used, it may
be necessary to parallel several output capacitors. This
lowers the effective ESR and ESL and can have beneficial
effects on ripple rejection.
Using an output capacitor with a value greater than the
minimum 2.2µF can improve ripple rejection under certain
conditions, as shown in the Typical Performance plots.
However, due to limitations in parasitic electromagnetic
coupling, the advantages may not be dramatic in practice.
A value of 2.2µF is recommended for most applications.
SET Pin (Reference Bypass) Capacitance
Within the bandwidth of the linear regulator, wideband
thermal noise and injected ripple at the output of the
LT3095’s built-in reference (that is, the SET pin) are
replicated at the output. Minimize this source of noise
by using an external capacitor to bypass the SET pin.
Table 1 shows the total RMS output noise in a 10Hz to
100kHz bandwidth and a 1kHz to 20MHz bandwidth for
several different values of CSET in a typical application.
The lower-bandwidth measurement reflects thermal and
shot noise only, while the higher-bandwidth measurement
includes residual ripple components from the switching converter. Both are influenced by the value of CSET.
A minimum of 10nF is required, but noise is reduced
substantially with CSET ≥ 100nF.

Single channel operation, VIN = 5V, VOUT = 18V, ILOAD = 50mA,

A system level consideration that may limit the value
of CSET is start-up time: when the part is enabled from
shutdown, the SET pin voltage rises with a time constant
of RSET • CSET. Since OUT tracks SET, this causes the
linear regulator output to soft-start. If very fast startup is
required and noise performance cannot be compromised,
use an auxiliary circuit to speed up the start time or drive
the SET pin externally (see Typical Applications).
Effective Operating Capacitance
The effective capacitance of a multilayer ceramic capacitor
varies over temperature and DC bias conditions, and may
be considerably lower than the manufacturer’s nominal
value. To ensure stable operation of the LT3095, make
sure that the boost and linear regulator output capacitors
meet the minimum requirement in their actual operating
conditions, after accounting for temperature and DC bias.

EFFECTIVE CAPACITANCE (µF)
tor. As an example, the loop bandwidth driving a 50mA
load with COUT = 2.2µF is about 1MHz. With such a high
bandwidth, the parasitic series resistance and inductance
of the output capacitor can have a noticeable impact on the
loop dynamics near the unity gain frequency. If the phase
response of the loop is degraded, transient output ringing
can result and supply ripple rejection may suffer. Avoid
these problems by using ceramic capacitors with ESR less
than 100mΩ; place the capacitor as close as possible to
the OUT pin and return directly to the adjacent GND pin.
See the discussion of board layout below for an example
PCB design that meets these requirements.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Capacitance degradation under DC bias can be dramatic.
In some cases, the effective value of a capacitor may be
less than 20% of the nominal value, even at voltages well
below the nominal voltage rating of the component. Different dielectric materials have different sensitivities to
DC bias, with X5R and X7R offering good performance.
Package size also has a large influence on the effective
capacitance achieved at higher voltages. In general, capacitors in physically larger packages suffer less degradation
under DC bias than capacitors of the same voltage rating
in a smaller size. Figure 2 shows typical bias curves for
three X5R capacitors with nominal values of 10µF, all rated
for 25V, but in different package sizes.
The effective values of some ceramic capacitors can
also degrade significantly with temperature, as Figure 3
demonstrates. Of the common dielectric types, X5R and
X7R offer relatively stable capacitance over a wide temperature range. Both are widely available in a variety of
sizes and values.

Figure 3. Capacitance De-Rating with Temperature
In the case of the linear regulator output capacitor, the
regulator can show ringing or degraded ripple rejection
if the effective capacitance is more than 20% below the
recommended minimum of 2.2µF. The recommended
minimum value for CBSTOUT — the output capacitor for
the boost converter — is 10µF; however, lower effective
values may be tolerable in certain applications. At high
duty cycles, for example, the linearized transconductance
of the current control loop is reduced, and less output
capacitance is required to achieve the same unity gain
14
frequency. When using a boost output capacitor with effective capacitance below 8µF, verify the loop dynamics
experimentally or with an AC model to ensure adequate
loop stability in realistic operating conditions.
Programming the Switching Frequency
The LT3095’s two switching regulator channels run out of
phase to reduce input current ripple amplitude. An internal
oscillator generates a precise clock that can be programmed
from 450kHz to 2MHz by connecting an external resistor
from the RT pin to ground. Table 2 lists the closest 1%
resistor values for a few common frequencies. Refer to the
Typical Performance section for a plot of clock frequency
as a function of RT.

Alternatively, an external frequency source can be used to
synchronize the switching edges to a system clock using
the SYNC pin. The voltage and duty-cycle requirements
for the logic level SYNC signal are listed in the Electrical
Characteristics table. When using the SYNC pin to set the
frequency, connect a resistor to the RT pin as if programming the oscillator to the SYNC frequency. Use a resistor
with 1% tolerance to insure appropriate scaling of internal
control signals. The LT3095 will sense a pulsed signal on
the SYNC pin and override the oscillator to align the switch
edges with the external clock.
When using the internal oscillator, each channel will run
at the programmed switching frequency, fOSC, and the
power switches will turn on 180º out-of-phase. If SYNC
functionality is used, each channel will run at the SYNC
pulse frequency: one power switch will turn on at the rising edge of the SYNC input, and the other power switch
at the falling edge.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Inductor Selection & Boost Loop Stability
The choice of inductor for the boost converter affects the
system efficiency, loop stability, and solution size. As a
starting point, choose a value which results in ≤30% current
ripple when the switcher is operating at its peak current of
about 1A. The minimum inductor value that satisfies this
requirement can be calculated from the input and output
voltages and the switching frequency:
( VIN – 0.5) ( VOUT + 3 – VIN)
0.3 ( VOUT + 3) fSW
Finally, with a low inductance, the converter may operate
at or near discontinuous conduction mode, even at large
loads. While stability is guaranteed in discontinuous
conduction mode, switch node ringing may introduce
new frequency components into the system. In extreme
cases (e.g. high boost ratio and heavy load), the step-up
converter may not be able to deliver 50mA average output
current, even when the inductor is energized to the switch
peak current limit each clock cycle.
In some cases, it may be appealing to use a smaller inductor
value because of solution size or other constrains. Before
reducing the inductance, there are some considerations
that must be taken into account. A smaller inductor will
result in increased output ripple and additional conduction losses in the inductor and power switch. Higher peak
currents will translate to increased EMI radiation during
switching, which can easily couple frequency content onto
the output of the linear regulators.
Use an inductor with a sufficient current rating to prevent
core saturation, which can cause the effective inductance
to drop dramatically and the current to jump very quickly.
In case of runaway, an internal protection circuit senses
very high currents in the internal catch diode and prevents
the power switch from turning on until the inductor current
falls. This safety mechanism protects the power switch,
but damage to the power Schottky diode or overvoltage
of the boost converter’s output are still possible. For these
reasons, avoid inductor core saturation during normal
operation: choose an inductor rated for the peak current
in your application, with appropriate margin for tolerances
and transient overshoot. If in doubt, a rating of 1.5A will
provide insurance against saturation in all normal operating conditions.
Furthermore, a small inductor may make the current-control
loop unstable in continuous conduction mode, causing
subharmonic oscillations in the inductor current. This can
introduce unpredictable spectral content into the system.
Subharmonic oscillation is only a concern for duty cycles
greater than 50%, and can be avoided by making sure the
inductor meets the following requirement:
Regarding switching supply loop stability, it is well known
that the control loop of a boost converter has an inherent
right half-plane zero. Fundamentally, this is due to the fact
that current is not delivered to the load while the inductor
is being energized. Thus, when the loop commands more
current, the output voltage temporarily drops. A linearized
approximation of the zero frequency is:
LMIN =
…where VOUT is the programmed voltage at the output of
the linear regulator, and VIN is the supply of the inductor
current.

L is the inductor value. When this zero falls near the loop
unity gain frequency (typically around 50kHz), phase
margin is degraded. For this reason, avoid inductor values
much larger than suggested by the 30% ripple calculation
given above.

High Frequency Edges & Passive Filtering Techniques
Figure 4 shows the output of the LT3095 boost converter
in a typical application with a 50mA load, before and after
filtering by the linear regulator. The most noticeable residual
switching feature is the short spike when the boost power
switch turns off. This edge is generated by high dI/dt circulating through the boost output capacitor parasitic and
the corresponding magnetic circuit on the PCB.
These edges can couple onto the output of the linear
regulator indirectly through parasitic capacitance in the
linear regulator or electromagnetically from one PCB trace
to another. The spikes contain high frequency (>1MHz)
content that the linear regulator control loop cannot actively filter out. Minimize the residual spike amplitude by
following the PCB layout guidelines provided in the next
section. In many applications, the energy associated with
the residual spikes is at a sufficiently high frequency that
it does not interfere with the load.

avoid introducing a large load regulation term to the voltage
seen at the load. Another option is a low-ESR chip ferritebead or inductor. This solution offers the best rejection at
very high frequencies (>10 MHz); however, a resonance
is formed at a frequency of 1/ 2π LFILTERCLOAD that
can amplify noise and introduce a new ripple component
at the load. The peaking, or Q, associated with the filter
can be reduced by introducing a series damping resistor
or reducing the ratio LFILTER /CLOAD.

In cases where extreme ripple rejection up to very high
frequencies is required, a passive filter at the output of
the LDO can be used. Form a pi-network by placing the
output capacitor very close to the LT3095 and another
capacitor directly at the load, as shown Figure 5. Make
sure the additional capacitor is large enough to present
low impedance to the load across the full frequency range.
PCB trace inductance between the LT3095 and load will
provide some high-frequency filtering, but passives with
additional impedance can offer further improvement. One

Board Layout
Figure 7 shows a compact two-layer PCB layout designed
to minimize the residual switching content at the output.
Perhaps the most important component placement is the
boost output capacitor, CBSTOUT. A high frequency “hot”
loop is formed by the internal power switch, the Schottky
diode, and CBSTOUT. The inductance of this loop generates
spikes in the boost output and radiates high frequency
electromagnetic energy that can feed through the parasitic
capacitance of the linear regulator or couple directly to
the post-regulator output. Minimize the size of the loop
by placing the output capacitor as close as possible to
the BSTOUT and adjacent GND pins. Do not force current
to flow through vias while circulating around this loop.
Furthermore, minimize the SW node trace area to prevent
electrostatic coupling of the high dV/dt signal.
While the boost converter hot loop generates electromagnetic energy, the LDO output and reference traces act as
antennas that can pick up and deliver it to the load. Reduce
coupling onto the output by minimizing the unshielded
output PCB trace area and returning COUT and CSET as
close as possible to the adjacent GND pin. Also take care

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
to eliminate any ground loops between this return point
and the reference ground of the regulator’s load. In a
multilayer board, shielding the output trace with ground
conductors can also help prevent coupling.
The presence of a solid ground plane underneath the
routing traces can significantly reduce electromagnetic
radiation and coupling. The dielectric thickness separating the signal traces and ground plane determine how
effective it is. For more information on this topic, and an
extended discussion of PCB layout for high-frequency
switching converters, read Application Note 139 – Power
Supply Layout and EMI. The same principles that apply
to EMI generation by stand-alone switching converters
apply to LT3095 applications where residual ripple is of
critical concern. In the end, electromagnetic coupling is
likely to be responsible for most of the frequency content
observed at the LT3095 output.
Thermal Considerations
The LT3095 has an internal thermal limiting circuit
that will protect the device under overload conditions.
For continuous normal load conditions, do not exceed
the 125°C maximum junction temperature. Carefully consider all sources of thermal resistance from
junction-to-ambient. This includes (but is not limited to)
junction-to-case, case-to-heat sink interface, heat sink
resistance or circuit board-to-ambient, as the application
18
dictates. Consider all additional, adjacent heat generating
sources in proximity on the PCB.
Surface mount packages provide the necessary heat
sinking by using the heat spreading capabilities of the
PC board, copper traces and planes. Surface mount heat
sinks, plated through-holes and solder-filled vias can also
spread the heat generated by power devices.
Junction-to-case thermal resistance is specified from the
IC junction to the bottom of the case directly, or the bottom of the pin most directly in the heat path. This is the
lowest thermal resistance path for heat flow. Only proper
device mounting ensures the best possible thermal flow
from this area of the packages to the heat sinking material.
For further information on thermal resistance and using
thermal information, refer to JEDEC standard JESD51,
notably JESD51-12.
In typical applications, where VIN is below the desired
output voltage, the boost converter will maintain 2V across
the linear regulator pass device. In this case, the power
dissipation in the linear regulators will be limited to a
few hundred milliwatts, even at full load. In applications
where the input voltage may exceed one or both of the
outputs, the linear regulator will dissipate approximately
(VIN – VOUT) • ILOAD. In this case, power dissipation may
be substantial and extra care should be taken to ensure
the maximum junction temperature is not exceeded.
