QFN Packages
The LT®8711 is a multitopology current mode PWM controller that can easily be configured as a synchronous buck,
boost, SEPIC, ZETA or as a nonsynchronous buck-boost
converter. Its dual gate drive voltage inputs optimize gate
driver efficiency.
nn
The 15µA no-load quiescent current with the output voltage
in regulation extends operating run time in battery powered
systems. Low ripple Burst Mode operation enables high
efficiency at very light loads while maintaining low output
voltage ripple. The LT8711's fixed switching frequency can
be set from 100kHz to 750kHz or can be synchronized to
an external clock.
The additional features include 100% duty cycle capability
when in buck mode, a topology selection pin and adjustable
soft-start. LT8711 is available in the 20-lead TSSOP and
20-lead 3mm × 4mm QFN packages.

PIN FUNCTIONS
(TSSOP/QFN)
EN/FBIN (Pin 1/Pin 19): Enable and Input Voltage Regulation Pin. In conjunction with the UVLO (undervoltage
lockout) circuit, this pin is used to enable/disable the chip
and restart the soft-start sequence. The EN/FBIN pin is
also used to limit the switching regulator current to avoid
collapsing the input supply. Drive below 0.2V to disable the
chip with very low quiescent current. Drive above 1.03V
(typical) to activate the chip. The commanded input current will adjust when the EN/FBIN pin voltage is between
1.12V and 1.27V. Drive above 1.35V (typical) to activate
switching with no reduction in input current and restart the
soft-start sequence. See the Block Diagram and Applications section for more information. Do not float this pin.
TG (Pin 10/Pin 8): PFET Gate Drive Pin. Low and high
levels are INTVEE and BIAS respectively with a 2A drive
capability.
BG (Pin 11/Pin 10): NFET Gate Drive Pin. Low and high
levels are GND and INTVCC respectively with a 2A drive
capability.

divider tap to this pin.
INTVCC (Pin 13/Pin 12): 5V Dual Input LDO Regulator Pin.
Must be locally bypassed with a minimum capacitance of
2.2µF to GND. Logic will choose to run INTVCC from the
VIN or EXTVCC pins. A maximum 10mA external load can

410k resistor to about 4.3V. During an overtemperature
or UVLO condition, the SS pin will be quickly discharged
to reset the part. Once those conditions are clear, the part
will attempt to restart.

Must be locally bypassed with a minimum capacitance of
2.2µF to INTVEE. The BIAS pin sets the top rail for the TG
gate driver.

CSN & CSP (Pins 16 & 17/ Pins 15 & 16): Current Sense
Negative and Positive Input Pins Respectively. Kelvin
connect CSN and CSP pins to a sense resistor to limit
the input current. The maximum sense voltage at low

frequency to an outside clock, simply drive this pin with
a clock. The high voltage level of the clock must exceed
1.3V, and the low level must be less than 0.4V. Drive this
pin to less than 0.4V to revert to the internal free running
clock. See the Applications Information section for more
information.

SETTING THE INPUT VOLTAGE REGULATION OR
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
By connecting a resistor divider between VIN, EN/FBIN,
and GND, the EN/FBIN pin provides a means to regulate
the input voltage or to create an undervoltage lockout
function. Referring to error amplifier EA2 in the block
diagram, when EN/FBIN is lower than the 1.2V reference,
VC is pulled low. For example, if VIN is provided by a
relatively high impedance source (e.g. a solar panel) and
the current draw pulls VIN below a preset limit, VC will be
reduced, thus reducing current draw from the input supply
and limiting the input voltage drop.

NTC Resistor Divider
The FB voltages regulates to 0.8V (typical). For an accurate
room temperature output voltage, size the resistor divider

used to sum into the FB pin to create an output voltage
that decreases with temperature. See Figure 8 for the

SWITCH CURRENT LIMIT (CSP-CSN CURRENT
SENSING)
The external current sense resistor (RSENSE) sets the maximum peak current. The maximum voltage across RSENSE
is 50mV (typical) at very low switch duty cycles, and then
slope compensation decreases the current limit as the duty
cycle increases (see the Max Current Limit vs Duty Cycle
(CSP-CSN) plot in the Typical Performance Characteristics).
The equation below gives the switch current limit for a given
duty cycle and current sense resistor (find VCSPN at the
operating duty cycle in the plot mentioned).

The ISP-ISN circuitry delays switching if the rectifier switch
current goes too high. This mechanism also protects
the part during short-circuit and overload conditions by
keeping the current through the inductor under control.

Figure 9. ISP-ISN Current Sensing Example
A potential controllability problem could occur under
short-circuit conditions without rectifier switch current
sensing. If the power supply output is short circuited, the
feedback amplifier (EA) responds to the low output voltage
by raising the control voltage, VC, to its peak current limit
value. Ideally, the top switch would be turned on, and then
turned off as its current exceeded the value indicated by
VC. However, there is finite response time involved in both
the current comparator and turnoff of the top switch. These
result in a minimum on time, tON(MIN). When combined
with high VIN, the potential exists for a loss of control.
Rev A

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Expressed mathematically the requirement to maintain
control is:
f • tON ≤
VR(SENSE)_L + VDS_NMOS + I • R
where:
VIN
f = switching frequency
tON = switch minimum on time
VR(SENSE)_L = voltage drop on high side sense resistor
VDS_NMOS = voltage drop on high side PMOS switch
VIN = Input voltage
I • R = inductor I • R voltage drop
If this condition is not observed, the current will not be
limited at IPK, but will cycle-by-cycle ratchet up to some
higher value. With rectifier switch current sensing, the
current through the inductor would be controlled under
the whole clock cycle. The switching will only resume once
rectifier switch current has fallen below IPK.
ISP-ISN current sensing is also used in reverse current
detecting for DCM operation.

plots in the Typical Performance Characteristics).
Positive bias currents flow into the pins. Negative bias
currents flow out of the pins.
Bias current of 4µA ~ 25µA and –4µA ~ –25µA in the

Certain applications may require filtering of the current
sense signals due to excessive switching noise that can
appear across RSENSE1 and/or RSENSE2. Higher operating
voltages, higher inductor current, higher values of RSENSE,
and more capacitive MOSFETs will all contribute additional
noise across RSENSE when MOSFETs transition. The CSP/
CSN and/or the ISP/ISN sense signals can be filtered by
adding one of the RC networks shown in Figure 10. The
filter shown in Figure 10a filters out differential noise,
whereas the filter in Figure 10b filters out the differential
and common mode noise at the expense of an additional
capacitor and approximately twice the capacitance value.
It is recommended to Kelvin tie the ground connection
directly to the paddle of the LT8711 if using the filter in
Figure 10b. The filter network should be placed as close
as possible to the LT8711. Resistors greater than 10Ω
should be avoided as this can Increase the offset voltages

SWITCHING FREQUENCY
The LT8711 uses a constant frequency architecture whose
frequency can be between 100kHz and 750kHz. The frequency can be set using the internal oscillator or can be

LT8711
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
the switching frequency is a trade-off between efficiency
and component size. Low frequency operation increases
efficiency by reducing MOSFET switching losses, but
requires larger inductance and/or capacitance to maintain
low output ripple voltage. For high power applications,
consider operating at lower frequencies to minimize
MOSFET heating from switching losses. The switching
frequency can be set by placing an appropriate resistor
from the RT pin to ground and tying the SYNC pin low. The
frequency can also be synchronized to an external clock
source driven into the SYNC pin. The following sections
provide more details.
Oscillator Timing Resistor (RT)
The operating frequency of the LT8711 can be set by the
internal free-running oscillator. When the SYNC pin is
driven low (< 0.4V), the frequency of operation is set by a
resistor from the RT pin to ground. The oscillator frequency
is calculated using the following formula:
f=
25000
RT + 2
where f is in kHz and RT is in kΩ. Conversely, RT can be
calculated from the desired frequency using:
RT =
25000
f
–2
Clock Synchronization
An external source can set the operating frequency of
the LT8711 by providing a digital clock signal into the
SYNC pin (RT resistor still required). The LT8711 will
operate at the SYNC clock frequency. The LT8711 will
revert to its internal free-running oscillator clock when
the SYNC pin is driven below 0.4V for a few free-running
clock periods. The LT8711 will operate in FCM mode with
internal free-running oscillator clock if driving SYNC high
for an extended period of time.
The duty cycle of the SYNC signal must be between 20%
and 80% for proper operation. Also, the frequency of the
SYNC signal must meet the following two criteria:
1. SYNC may not toggle outside the frequency range of
140kHz to 750kHz unless it is stopped below 0.4V to
enable the free-running oscillator.
22
2. The SYNC frequency can always be higher than the freerunning oscillator frequency (as set by the RT resistor),
fOSC, but should not be less than 20% below fOSC.
LDO REGULATORS
The LT8711 has two linear regulators to run the BG and
TG gate drivers. The INTVCC LDO regulates 5V (typical)
above ground, and the INTVEE regulator regulates 5.15V
(typical) below the BIAS pin.
INTVCC LDO Regulator
The INTVCC LDO is used as the top rail for the BG gate
driver. An external capacitor greater than 2.2μF must be
placed from the INTVCC pin to ground. The capacitor should
have low ESR, such as a ceramic capacitor.
The INTVCC LDO can run off VIN or EXTVCC and will
intelligently select to run off the best rail for minimizing
chip power loss, but at the same time, select the proper
input for maintaining INTVCC as close to 5V as possible.
For example, Figure 11 is a plot that shows how VIN or
EXTVCC is selected.
Overcurrent protection circuitry typically limits the maximum current draw from the LDO to ~50mA. If the selected
input voltage is greater than 24V (typical), then the current
limit of the LDO reduces linearly with input voltage to limit
the maximum power in the INTVCC pass device. See the
INTVCC Current Limit vs VIN or EXTVCC plot in the Typical
Performance Characteristics.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Power dissipated in the INTVCC LDO should be minimized to
improve efficiency and prevent overheating of the LT8711.
The current limit reduction with input voltage circuit helps
prevent the part from overheating, but these guidelines
should be followed. The maximum current drawn through
the INTVCC LDO occurs under the following conditions:
1. Large (capacitive) MOSFETs being driven at high
frequencies
2. The converter’s switch voltage (VIN for BUCK, VOUT
for BOOST and BUCK-BOOST, VIN + VOUT for SEPIC
converters) is high, thus requiring more charge to
turn the MOSFET gates on and off.
because the LT8711 doesn’t have to supply gate drive to
the PFET. Figure 12 shows the recommended connections for using the LT8711 as a nonsynchronous boost
converter, however the same concept can be used for any
other converter topology.
VIN
CIN

OPMODE
INTVCC
In general, use appropriately sized MOSFETs and lower
the switching frequency for higher voltage applications to
keep the INTVCC current at a minimum.
INTVEE LDO Regulator
The BIAS and INTVEE voltages are used for the top and
bottom rails of the TG gate driver respectively. An external
capacitor greater than 2.2μF must be placed between the
BIAS and INTVEE pins. The capacitor should have low
ESR, such as ceramic capacitor.
Overcurrent protection circuitry typically limits the maximum current draw from the regulator to ~80mA. If the
BIAS voltage is greater than 15V (typical), then the current
limit of the regulator reduces linearly with input voltage
to limit the maximum power in the INTVEE pass device.
See the INTVEE Current Limit vs BIAS plot in the Typical
Performance Characteristics.
The same thermal guidelines from the INTVCC LDO Regulator section apply to the INTVEE regulator as well.
NONSYNCHRONOUS CONVERTER
It may be desirable in some applications to replace the
external PFET with a Schottky diode to make a nonsynchronous converter. One example would be a high output
voltage application because the voltage drop across the
rectifier has a small effect on the efficiency of the converter.
In fact, for high output voltage applications, replacing
the PFET with a Schottky may result in higher efficiency

LAYOUT GUIDELINES FOR BUCK, BOOST, SEPIC, ZETA
AND BUCK-BOOST TOPOLOGIES
General Layout Guidelines
• To optimize thermal performance, solder the exposed pad of the LT8711 to the ground plane with
multiple vias around the pad connecting to additional
ground planes.
• High speed switching path (see specific topology
below for more information) must be kept as short
as possible.
• The FB, VC and RT components should be placed as
close to the LT8711 as possible, while being far away
as practically possible from switching nodes. The
ground for these components should be separated

The primary components on the board that consume the
most power and produce the most heat are the power
switches, MN and MP, the power inductor, the Schottky
diodes in the nonsynchronous buck-boost converter and
the LT8711 IC. It is imperative that a good thermal path
be provided for these components to dissipate the heat
generated within the packages. This can be accomplished
by taking advantage of the thermal pads on the underside
of the packages. It is recommended that multiple vias in
the printed circuit board be used to conduct heat away
from each of these components and into a copper plane
with as much area as possible. For the case of the power
switches, the copper area of the drain connections shouldn’t
be too big as to create a large EMI surface that can radiate
noise around the board.

The LT8711 requires two external power MOSFETs, an
NFET switch for the BG gate driver and a PFET switch for
the TG gate driver. Important parameters for estimating
the power dissipation in the MOSFETs are:
1. On-resistance (RDS(ON))
2. Gate-to-drain charge (QGD)
3. PFET body diode forward voltage (VBD)
4. VDS of the FETs during their Off-Time
5. Switch current (ISW)
6. Switching frequency (f)
The power loss in each power switch has a DC and AC
term. The DC term is when the power switch is fully on,
and the AC term is when the power switch is transitioning
from on-off or off-on.

Typical values for tRF are 10ns to 40ns depending on the
MOSFET capacitance and drain voltage. In general, the
lower the QGD of the MOSFET, the faster the rise and fall
times of its drain voltage. For best calculations, measure
the rise and fall times in the application.
PFET body diode reverse recovery power loss is dependent on many factors and can be difficult to quantify in
an application. In general, this power loss increases with
higher VDS and/or higher switching frequency.
Chip Power and Thermal Calculations
Power dissipation in the LT8711 chip comes from three
primary sources: INTVCC and INTVEE LDOs providing gate
drive to the BG and TG pins and the chip quiescent current. The average current through each LDO is determined
by the gate charge of the power switches, MN and MP,
and the switching frequency. Below are the equations for
calculating the chip power loss.
where:
f

IN

IP

tRF
= Average of the rise and fall times of the NFET’s

The INTVCC LDO primarily supplies voltage for the BG
gate driver. The BIAS and INTVEE voltages supply the top
and bottom rails of the TG gate driver respectively. The
chip Q current comes from INTVCC. Below are the chip
power equations:
ISW

Thermal Lockout
If the die temperature reaches ~165°C, the part will go
into shutdown, so the power switches turn off and the
soft-start capacitor will be discharged. The LT8711 will
come out of shutdown when the die temperature drops
by ~5°C (typical).

APPENDIX
POWER SWITCH DUTY CYCLE
The external power main switch (PFET in the Block Diagram) cannot remain off for 100% of each clock cycle, and
will turn on for a minimum on time (MinOnTime) when in
regulation. This MinOnTime governs the minimum allowable duty cycle given by:
DCMIN =
(MinOnTime)
TP
• 100%
to handle the peak inductor current without saturating.
Note that in some applications, the current handling
requirements of the inductor can be lower, such as in the
SEPIC topology where each inductor carries a fraction of
the total switch current. Molded chokes or chip inductors
do not have enough core area to support peak inductor
currents in the 5A to 15A range. To minimize radiated
noise, use a toroidal or shielded inductor. See Table 7 for
a list of inductor manufacturers.
where TP is the clock period and MinOnTime (found in
the Electrical Characteristics) is 100ns (typ).

Although there can be a trade-off with efficiency, it is
often desirable to minimize board space by choosing
smaller inductors. When choosing an inductor, there are
two conditions that limit the minimum inductance; (1)
providing adequate load current, and (2) avoidance of
subharmonic oscillation.

INDUCTOR SELECTION
For high efficiency, choose inductors with high frequency
core material, such as ferrite, to reduce core losses.
Additionally, choose inductors with more volume for a given
inductance. The inductor should have low DCR (copperwire resistance) to reduce I2R losses, and must be able
Avoiding Subharmonic Oscillations
The LT8711’s internal slope compensation circuit will
prevent subharmonic oscillations that can occur when
the duty cycle is greater than 50%, provided that the inductance exceeds a minimum value. In applications that
operate with duty cycles greater than 50%, the inductance
must be at least:

LMIN = L1 = L2 for coupled dual inductor topologies
(SEPIC and ZETA)
LMIN = L1 || L2 for uncoupled dual inductor topologies
(SEPIC and ZETA)
Inductor Current Rating
The inductor(s) must have a rating greater than its (their)
peak operating current to prevent inductor saturation,
which would result in efficiency losses.
POWER MOSFET SELECTION
The LT8711 requires two external power MOSFETs, an
NFET switch for the BG gate driver and a PFET switch for
the TG gate driver. It is important to select MOSFETs for
optimizing efficiency. For choosing an NFET and PFET, the
important device parameters are:
1. Breakdown voltage (BVDSS)
2. Gate threshold voltage (VGSTH)
3. On-resistance (RDS(ON))
4. Total gate charge (QG)
5. Turn-off delay time (tD(OFF))
6. Package has exposed paddle
If operating close to the BVDSS rating of the MOSFET, check
the leakage specifications on the MOSFET because leakage
can decrease the efficiency of the converter.
The NFET and PFET gate-to-source drive is 5V typical.
The BG gate driver can begin switching when the INTVCC
voltage exceeds ~4.1V, so ensure the selected NFET is in
the linear mode of operation with 4.1V of gate-to-source
drive to prevent possible damage to the NFET.
The TG gate driver can begin switching when the BIASINTVEE voltage exceeds ~3.85V, so it is optimal that the
PFET be in the linear mode of operation with 3.85V of
gate-to-source drive. Try to choose a PFET with a low body
diode reverse recovery time to minimize stored charge in
the PFET. The stored charge in the PFET body diode gets
28
removed when the NFET switch turns on and can lead to
efficiency hits especially in applications where the VDS of
the PFET (during off-time) is high. For these applications, it
may be beneficial to put a Schottky diode across the PFET
to reduce the amount of charge in the PFET body diode.
Power MOSFET on-resistance and total gate charge go
hand-in-hand and are typically inversely proportional to
each other; the lower the on-resistance, the higher the
total gate charge. Choose MOSFETs with an on-resistance
to give a voltage drop to be less than 300mV at the peak
current. At the same time, choose MOSFETs with a lower
total gate charge to reduce LT8711 power dissipation and
MOSFET switching losses.
The turn-off delay time (tD(OFF)) of available NFETs is
generally smaller than the LT8711’s non-overlap time.
However, the turn-off time of the available PFETs should
be looked at before deciding on a PFET for a given application. The turn-off time must be less than the non-overlap
time of the LT8711 or else the NFET and PFET could be
on at the same time and damage to external components
may occur. If the PFET turn-off delay time as specified in
the data sheet is less than the LT8711 non-overlap time,
then the PFET is good to use. If the turn-off delay time is
longer than the non-overlap time, it doesn’t necessarily
mean it can’t be used. It may be unclear how the PFET
manufacturer measures the turn-off delay time, so it is
best to measure the PFET turn-off delay time with respect
to the PFET gate voltage.
Finally, both the NFET and PFET power MOSFETs should
be in a package with an exposed paddle for the drain
connection to be able to dissipate heat. The on-resistance
of MOSFETs is proportional to temperature, so it’s more
efficient if the MOSFETs are running cool with the help
of the exposed paddle. See Table 8 for a list of power
MOSFET manufacturers.

APPENDIX
INPUT AND OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
Input and output capacitance is necessary to suppress
voltage ripple caused by discontinuous current moving
in and out of the regulator. A parallel combination of
capacitors is typically used to achieve high capacitance and
low ESR (equivalent series resistance). Tantalum, special
polymer, aluminum electrolytic and ceramic capacitors are
all available in surface mount packages. Capacitors with
low ESR and high ripple current ratings, such as OS-CON
and POSCAP are also available.
Ceramic capacitors should be placed near the regulator
input and output to suppress high frequency switching
noise. A minimum 1μF ceramic capacitor should also be
placed from VIN to GND and from EXTVCC to GND as close
to the LT8711 pins as possible. Due to their excellent low
ESR characteristics, ceramic capacitors can significantly
reduce ripple voltage and help reduce power loss in the
higher ESR bulk capacitors. X5R or X7R dielectrics are
preferred, as these materials retain their capacitance over
wide voltage and temperature ranges. Many ceramic ca-
pacitors, particularly 0805 or 0603 case sizes, have greatly
reduced capacitance at the desired operating voltage.
COMPENSATION – ADJUSTMENT
To compensate the feedback loop of the LT8711, a series
resistor capacitor network in parallel with an optional single
capacitor should be connected from the VC pin to GND. For
most applications, choose a series capacitor in the range
of 0.47nF to 10nF with 2.2nF being a good starting value.
The optional parallel capacitor should range in value from
47pF to 220pF with 100pF being a good starting value.
The compensation resistor, RC, is usually in the range
of 10k to 100k. A good technique to compensate a new
application is to use a 100k potentiometer in place of the
series resistor RC. With the series and parallel capacitors
at 2.2nF and 100pF respectively, adjust the potentiometer
while observing the transient response and the optimum
value for RC can be found. The series capacitor can be
reduced or increased from 2.2nF to speed up the converter
or slow down the converter, respectively.
