output current. Extensive feature integration and very
low resistance internal power switches minimize the total
solution footprint for even the most demanding applications. A proprietary 4-switch PWM architecture provides
seamless low noise operation from input voltages above,
equal to, or below the output voltage.
Applications
Other features include: output short-circuit protection,
thermal overload protection, less than 3µA shutdown
current, power good indicator, Burst Mode operation, and
maximum power point control.

External frequency programming as well as synchronization using an internal PLL enable operation over a wide
switching frequency range of 400kHz to 2MHz. The wide
2.5V to 18V input range is well suited for operation from
unregulated power sources including battery stacks and
backup capacitors. After start-up, operation is possible
with input voltages as low as 250mV.
The LTC3119 is offered in thermally enhanced 28-lead
4mm × 5mm QFN and TSSOP packages.

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.
Note 2: The LTC3119 is tested under pulsed load conditions such
that TJ ≈ TA. The LTC3119E is guaranteed to meet specifications from
0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specification over the –40°C to
125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LTC3119I specifications are guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range. The LTC3119H specifications are guaranteed
over the –40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature range. The
LTC3119MP specifications are guaranteed and tested over the –55°C to
150°C operating junction temperature range. High temperatures degrade
operating lifetimes; operating lifetime is derated for junction temperatures
greater than 125°C.

Note 3: Current measurements are performed when the LTC3119 is
not switching. The current limit values measured in operation will be
somewhat higher due to the propagation delay of the comparators.
Note 4: Minimum input voltage is governed by the VCC UVLO threshold. If
VCC is maintained though external bootstrapping, the part will continue to
operate until power transfer to the output is no longer possible.
Note 5: Switch timing measurements are made in an open-loop test
configuration. Timing in the application may vary somewhat from these
values due to differences in the switch pin voltage during the non-overlap
durations when switch pin voltage is influenced by the magnitude and
direction of the inductor current.
Note 6: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. The maximum
rated junction temperature will be exceeded when this protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified absolute maximum operating
junction temperature may impair device reliability or permanently damage
the device.

Programming Custom VIN UVLO Thresholds
With the addition of an external resistive divider connected
to VIN as shown in Figure 8, the RUN pin can be used to
program the input voltage at which the LTC3119 is enabled
and disabled.
For a rising input voltage, the LTC3119 is enabled when VIN
reaches a threshold given by the following equation, where
R1 and R2 are the values of the resistor divider resistors:
Therefore, the rising UVLO threshold and the amount of
hysteresis can be independently programmed via appropriate selection of resistors R1 and R2. For high levels
of hysteresis the value of R1 can become larger than is
desirable in a practical implementation. In such cases, the
amount of hysteresis can be increased further through the
addition of an additional resistor RH, as shown in Figure 9.
When using the additional RH resistor, the rising RUN pin
threshold remains as given by the original equation and
the hysteresis is given by the following expression:
R R2+RHR1+R1R2
0.25µA + R1+R2 0.09V
VHYST = H
R2

VTH(RISING) = 1.205V

RUN
R2
To ensure robust operation in the presence of noise, the RUN
pin has two forms of hysteresis. A fixed 90mV hysteresis
within the RUN pin comparator provides hysteresis equal
to 7.5% of the input turn-on voltage independent of the
resistor divider values. In addition, an internal hysteresis
current that is sourced from the RUN pin during operation generates an additive level of hysteresis which can
be programmed by the value of R1 to increase the overall
hysteresis to suit the requirements of specific applications.
Once the IC is enabled, it will remain enabled until the

To improve the noise robustness and accuracy of the UVLO
threshold, the RUN pin input can be filtered by adding a

with operation of the hysteresis.
Switching Frequency Selection
The switching frequency is set by the value of a resistor
connected between the RT pin and ground. The switching
frequency is related to the resistor value by the following
equation where RT is the resistance:

Applications Information
Higher switching frequencies facilitate the use of smaller
inductors as well as smaller input and output filter capacitors which results in a smaller solution size and reduced
component height. However, higher switching frequencies
also generally reduce conversion efficiency due to the
increased switching losses.
Output Capacitor Selection
A low ESR output capacitor should be utilized at the buckboost converter output in order to minimize output voltage
ripple. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are an excellent option
as they have low ESR and are available in small footprints.
The capacitor value should be chosen large enough to
reduce the output voltage ripple to acceptable levels.
Neglecting the capacitor ESR and ESL, the peak-to-peak
output voltage ripple can be calculated by the following
formulas, where fSW is the switching frequency, COUT is
the output capacitance, tLOW is the switch pin minimum
low time, and ILOAD is the output current. Curves for the
value of tLOW as a function of VCC voltage and temperature
can be found in Typical Performance Characteristics section of this data sheet.

The output voltage ripple increases with load current and
is generally higher in boost mode than in buck mode.
These expressions only take into account the output
voltage ripple that results from the output current being
discontinuous. They provide a good approximation to the
ripple at any significant load current but underestimate
the output voltage ripple at very light loads where output
voltage ripple is dominated by the inductor current ripple.
In addition to output voltage ripple generated across the
output capacitance, there is also output voltage ripple
produced across the internal resistance of the output
capacitor. The ESR-generated output voltage ripple is
proportional to the series resistance of the output capacitor
and is given by the following expressions where RESR is
the series resistance of the output capacitor and all other
terms are as previously defined.

Input Capacitor Selection
The PVIN pin carries the full inductor current and provides
power to internal control circuits in the IC. To minimize
input voltage ripple and ensure proper operation of the IC,
a low ESR bypass capacitor with a value of at least 10μF
should be located as close to this pin as possible. The
traces connecting this capacitor to PVIN and the ground
plane should be made as short as possible. The VIN pin
provides power to the VCC regulator and other internal
circuitry. If the PCB trace connecting VIN to PVIN is long, it
may be necessary to add an additional small value bypass
capacitor near the VIN pin.
When powered through long leads or from a high ESR
power source, a larger value bulk input capacitor may be
required. In such applications, a 47μF to 100μF electrolytic
capacitor in parallel with a 1μF ceramic capacitor generally
yields a high performance, low cost solution.
When powered through an inductive connection such as
a long cable, the inductance of the power source and the
input bypass capacitor form a high-Q resonant LC filter. In
such applications, hot-plugging into a powered source can
lead to a significant voltage overshoot, even up to twice the
nominal input source voltage. Care must be taken in such
situations to ensure that the absolute maximum input voltage
rating of the LTC3119 is not violated. See Linear Technology
Application Note 88 for solutions to increase damping in
the input filter and minimize this voltage overshoot.
Inductor Selection
The choice of inductor used in LTC3119 application circuits
influences the maximum deliverable output current, the
converter bandwidth, the magnitude of the inductor current
ripple and the overall converter efficiency. The inductor must
have a low DC series resistance, when compared to the
3119fb

internal switch resistance (30mΩ), or output current capability and efficiency will be compromised. Larger inductor
values reduce inductor current ripple but may not increase
output current capability as is the case with peak current
mode control as described in the Maximum Output Current
section. Larger value inductors also tend to have a higher
DC series resistance for a given case size, which will have a
negative impact on efficiency. Larger values of inductance
will also lower the right half plane zero (RHPZ) frequency
when operating in boost mode, which can compromise loop
stability. Nearly all LTC3119 application circuits deliver the
best performance with an inductor value between 1.5μH
and 15μH. Buck mode only applications can use the larger
inductor values as they are unaffected by the RHPZ, while
mostly boost applications generally require inductance on the
lower end of this range depending on how large the step-up
ratio is. Regardless of inductor value, the saturation current
rating should be selected such that it is greater than the worst
case average inductor current plus half of the ripple current.
The peak-to-peak inductor current ripple for each operational mode can be calculated from the following formula,
where fSW is the programmed switching frequency, L is
the inductance and tLOW is the switch pin minimum low
time, typically 90ns.

It should be noted that the worst-case peak-to-peak inductor ripple current occurs when the duty cycle in buck
mode is minimum (highest VIN) and in boost mode when
the duty cycle is 50% (VOUT @ 2 • VIN).
As an example, if VIN (minimum) = 2.5V and VIN (maximum) = 15V, VOUT = 5V, fSW = 1MHz and L = 4.7μH, the
peak-to-peak inductor ripples at the voltage extremes (15V
VIN for buck and 2.5V VIN for boost) are:

2.5 5− 2.5
∆IL (P-P )(BOOST ) @

One half of this inductor ripple current must be added to
the highest expected average inductor current in order to
select the proper saturation current rating for the inductor.
Programming the Output Voltage
The output voltage is set via the external resistive divider
comprised of resistors RTOP and RBOT as shown in Figure 4.
The resistor divider values determine the output regulation
voltage according to:
R
VOUT = 0.795V • 1+ TOP
RBOT
Programming the MPPC Voltage
The LTC3119 includes an MPPC function to optimize
performance when operating from current limited input
sources. Using an external voltage divider from VIN (refer to
Figure 5), the MPPC function takes control of the average
inductor current when necessary to maintain a minimum
input voltage VMPPC, as programmed by the user.
R5
VMPPC = 0.798V • 1+
R6
This is useful for such applications as photovoltaic powered
converters, since the maximum power transfer point occurs
when the photovoltaic panel is operated at approximately
75% of its open-circuit voltage. For example, when operating from a photovoltaic panel with an open-circuit voltage
of 10V, the maximum power transfer point will be when the
panel is loaded such that its output voltage is about 7.5V.
When using the MPPC function, the input capacitor should
be sized between 100µF and 470µF. Resistor R6 should
be chosen between 50k and 250k. Lower values will result
in smaller undershoot of the MPPC tracking point during
line and load transient conditions, but will draw more
current from the input supply. For this example, a value
of 100k will be used.

Compensation of the Buck-Boost Converter
The LTC3119 incorporates an average current mode control
architecture which consists of two control loops. Both the
inner average current mode control loop and outer control
loop require compensation to maintain stability. The inner
current mode control loop is internally compensated to
maintain wide bandwidth and good transient response.
For many applications, the inner current loop can be
treated like a voltage controlled current source (VCCS).
This current source is commanded by the voltage error
amplifier to regulate the output load formed primarily by
the load resistance (RLOAD) and output capacitor (COUT).
This simplified version is illustrated in Figure 10, showing the key components that need to be considered when
compensating the converter.

The MPPC loop requires compensation to maintain
stability of the input voltage regulation loop. This can be
accomplished by means of a pole-zero pair on the MPPC
pin created with a series RC network in parallel with the
lower MPPC resistor R6.
The pole and zero locations should be selected to create
a low frequency pole at or below approximately 360Hz
and a zero at a frequency that is scaled based on the size
of the input capacitor. The equations for determining the
values for the compensation capacitor CC2, and zero
resistor RC2 are:

Using these resistor values, the MPPC function is programmed to control the maximum input current so as
to maintain VIN at a minimum of 7.56V. Note that if the
photovoltaic panel can provide more power than the
LTC3119 can draw or the load requires, the input voltage
will rise above the programmed MPPC point. Higher input
voltages do not present a problem so long as the input
voltage does not exceed the maximum operating input
voltage. For photovoltaic panel applications, it may be also
desirable to use the programmable RUN feature to disable
the part when VIN drops too low due to lack of sufficient
light. Using the RUN pin provides a well controlled behavior
when the input power source is dropping out. Preventing
switching while under these conditions is important to
minimize discharging of the output storage element due
to switching while the input source is dropping out. This
custom input UVLO voltage should be programmed to be
below the MPPC tracking voltage with sufficient margin to
ensure the part does not disable under transient conditions.

With a full-scale command on VC, the LTC3119 buckboost converter will generate an average inductor current
of 8A. With a VC voltage range of 220mV to 960mV, the
resulting current gain for the inner average current loop
is 10.8A/V. Similar to peak current mode control, the inner
average current mode control loop effectively turns the
inductor into a current source over the frequency range
of interest, resulting in a frequency response from the

power stage that exhibits a single pole (–20dB/decade)
roll off. The output capacitor (COUT) and load resistance
(RLOAD) form the normally dominant low frequency pole
and the effective series resistance of the output capacitor
and its capacitance form a zero, usually at a high enough
frequency to be ignored. A potentially troublesome right
half plane zero (RHPZ) is also encountered if the LTC3119
is operated in boost mode. The RHPZ causes an increase
in gain, like a zero, but a decrease in phase, like a pole.
This will ultimately limit the maximum converter bandwidth
that can be achieved with the LTC3119. The RHPZ is not
present when operating in buck mode. The overall open
loop gain at DC is the product of the following terms:

In boost mode, the output current level will be reduced
by the efficiency divided by the boost ratio. Refer to the
typical curves for efficiency information.

In some cases it may not be possible to achieve sufficient
loop bandwidth and phase margin using a simple RC network connected to the VC pin. In these cases, additional
compensation may be required. This is accomplished by the
addition of a feed forward RC network in parallel with the
top resistor of the feedback divider. A small feed forward
capacitor alone may be sufficient in some applications.
A common situation that may require a feed forward network is when the converter is operating in boost mode
and the closed loop crossover frequency (fCC) is close the
Right Half Plane Zero (RHPZ). This may be done in order
to reduce output capacitance requirements by increasing
the loop bandwidth. Due to the phase additions of the
RHPZ, a simple compensator on the VC pin may not be
able to provide sufficient phase boost to stabilize the loop.
Compensation Example
This section will demonstrate how to derive and select the
compensation components for a 5V output supplying 2A
from an input voltage as low as 3V. Designing compensation for most other applications is simply a matter of
substituting in different values to the equations given in
the example and reviewing the resulting Bode Plot, adjusting as needed. Since the compensation design procedure
uses a simplified model of the LTC3119, results should
be checked using time domain step response tests to
validate the effectiveness of the compensation chosen. It
is assumed that values and types for capacitors and the
inductor will be selected based on the guidance given
elsewhere in this data sheet. Particular attention should

be paid to voltage biasing effects on capacitors used for
input and output bypassing. Similarly, it is assumed that
inductor values and current ratings are selected based on
application requirements.
Example Operating Conditions:
VIN = 3V to 15V
Since the converter will be operating in boost mode, the
GCS term must be scaled to represent the commanded
output current.
Looking in the Typical Curves section, we find the efficiency
to be roughly 77%. Using this information, the effective
output current gain can be calculated.

GCS(OUT) = GCS • IN • Eff = 4.99 A V

VOUT = 5V
ILOAD(MAX) = 2A
COUT = 150µF
Using this information, the gain and phase contributions
from the output filter are calculated.
L = 3.3µH
fSW = 1MHz
First it is necessary to determine the lowest frequency for
fRHPZ. This will determine the maximum bandwidth that
can safely be configured for the converter while operating
in boost mode.
fRHPZ =
VIN 2 • RLOAD
VOUT 2 • 2π • L
= 43.4kHz
In order to ensure sufficient safety margin, a closed loop
crossover frequency (fCC) should be sufficiently below the
RHPZ frequency to account for variability of the internal
components of the IC as well as variability of external influences on the converter response at the cost of possibly
higher loop bandwidth. If sufficient phase margin exists
at the crossover frequency, a higher loop bandwidth may
be realizable while still maintaining stability and good
transient response. In this example, we will use cross
over frequency equal to one sixth of the RHPZ frequency.

PCB Layout Considerations
The LTC3119 buck-boost converter switches large currents at high frequencies. Special attention should be
paid to the PC board layout to ensure a stable, noise-free
and efficient application circuit. Figures 11 and 12 show
a representative PCB layout for each package option to
outline some of the primary considerations. A few key
guidelines are provided below:
1. The parasitic inductance and resistance of all circulating high current paths should be minimized. This
can be accomplished by keeping the routes to all bold
components in Figures 11 and 12 as short and as wide
as possible. Capacitor ground connections should via
down to the ground plane by way of the shortest route
possible. The bypass capacitors on PVIN, PVOUT and
VCC should be placed as close to the IC as possible
and should have the shortest possible paths to ground.
2. The exposed pad is the electrical ground connection
for the LTC3119. Multiple vias should connect the
back pad directly to the ground plane. In addition,
maximization of the metallization connected to the
back pad will improve the thermal environment and
improve the power handling capabilities of the IC in
both the FE and UFD packages.
3. There should be an uninterrupted ground plane under
the entire converter in order to minimize the crosssectional area of the high frequency current loops.
This minimizes EMI and reduces the inductive drops
in these loops thereby minimizing SW pin overshoot
and ringing.
4. Connections to all of the components shown in bold
should be made as wide as possible to reduce the
series resistance. This will improve efficiency and
maximize the output current capability of the buckboost converter.
5. To prevent large circulating currents in the ground
plane from disrupting operation of the LTC3119, all
small-signal grounds should return directly to GND
by way of a dedicated Kelvin route. This includes the
ground connection for the RT pin resistor, and the
ground connection for the feedback network as shown
in Figures 11 and 12.
6. Keep the routes connecting to the high impedance,
noise sensitive inputs FB and RT as short as possible
to reduce noise pick-up.
