LM2716
Dual (Step-Up and Step-Down) PWM DC/DC Converter
General Description
Features
The LM2716 is composed of two PWM DC/DC converters. A
buck (step-down) converter is used to generate a fixed output voltage of 3.3V. A boost (step-up) converter is used to
generate an adjustable output voltage. Both converters feature low RDSON (0.16Ω and 0.12Ω) internal switches for
maximum efficiency. Operating frequency can be adjusted
anywhere between 300kHz and 600kHz allowing the use of
small external components. External soft-start pins for each
enables the user to tailor the soft-start times to a specific
application. Each converter may also be shut down independently with its own shutdown pin. The LM2716 is available in
a low profile 24-lead TSSOP package.

PROTECTION (BOTH REGULATORS)
The LM2716 has dedicated protection circuitry running during normal operation to protect the IC. The Thermal Shutdown circuitry turns off the power devices when the die
temperature reaches excessive levels. The UVP comparator
protects the power devices during supply power startup and
shutdown to prevent operation at voltages less than the
minimum input voltage. The OVP comparator is used to
prevent the output voltage from rising at no loads allowing
full PWM operation over all load conditions. The LM2716
also features a shutdown mode for each converter decreasing the supply current to 9µA (both in shutdown mode).
INDUCTOR SELECTION
The most critical parameters for the inductor are the inductance, peak current and the DC resistance. The inductance
is related to the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current, the
input and the output voltages:
CONTINUOUS CONDUCTION MODE
The LM2716 contains a current-mode, PWM buck regulator.
A buck regulator steps the input voltage down to a lower
output voltage. In continuous conduction mode (when the
inductor current never reaches zero at steady state), the
buck regulator operates in two cycles. The power switch is
connected between VIN and SW1.
In the first cycle of operation the transistor is closed and the
diode is reverse biased. Energy is collected in the inductor
and the load current is supplied by COUT and the rising
current through the inductor.
A higher value of ripple current reduces inductance, but
increases the conductance loss, core loss, current stress for
the inductor and switch devices. It also requires a bigger
output capacitor for the same output voltage ripple requirement. A reasonable value is setting the ripple current to be
30% of the DC output current. Since the ripple current increases with the input voltage, the maximum input voltage is
always used to determine the inductance. The DC resistance
of the inductor is a key parameter for the efficiency. Lower
DC resistance is available with a bigger winding area. A good
tradeoff between the efficiency and the core size is letting the
inductor copper loss equal 2% of the output power.
During the second cycle the transistor is open and the diode
is forward biased due to the fact that the inductor current
cannot instantaneously change direction. The energy stored
in the inductor is transferred to the load and output capacitor.
The ratio of these two cycles determines the output voltage.
The output voltage is defined approximately as:
OUTPUT CAPACITOR
The selection of COUT is driven by the maximum allowable
output voltage ripple. The output ripple in the constant frequency, PWM mode is approximated by:
The ESR term usually plays the dominant role in determining
the voltage ripple. A low ESR aluminum electrolytic or tantalum capacitor (such as Nichicon PL series, Sanyo OS-CON,
Sprague 593D, 594D, AVX TPS, and CDE polymer aluminum) is recommended. An electrolytic capacitor is not recommended for temperatures below −25˚C since its ESR
rises dramatically at cold temperature. A tantalum capacitor
has a much better ESR specification at cold temperature and
is preferred for low temperature applications.
where D is the duty cycle of the switch, D and D' will be
required for design calculations.
DESIGN PROCEDURE
This section presents guidelines for selecting external components.
INPUT CAPACITOR
A low ESR aluminum, tantalum, or ceramic capacitor is
needed betwen the input pin and power ground. This capacitor prevents large voltage transients from appearing at the
input. The capacitor is selected based on the RMS current
and voltage requirements. The RMS current is given by:
BOOT CAPACITOR
A 3.3 nF or larger ceramic capacitor is recommended for the
bootstrap capacitor.
SOFT-START CAPACITOR (BOTH REGULATORS)
The SS pins are used to tailor the soft-start for a specific
application. A current source charges the external soft-start
capacitor, CSS. The soft-start time can be estimated as:
TSS = CSS*0.6V/ISS
The RMS current reaches its maximum (IOUT/2) when
VIN equals 2VOUT. This value should be increased by 50% to
account for the ripple current increase due to the boost
regulator. For an aluminum or ceramic capacitor, the voltage
rating should be at least 25% higher than the maximum input
voltage. If a tantalum capacitor is used, the voltage rating
required is about twice the maximum input voltage. The
tantalum capacitor should be surge current tested by the
manufacturer to prevent being shorted by the inrush current.
The minimum capacitor value should be 47µF for lower
output load current applications and less dynamic (quickly
Soft-start times may be implemented using the SS pin and a
capacitor CSS.
When programming the softstart time, simply use the equation given in the Soft-Start Capacitor section above. This
equation uses the typical room temperature value of the soft
start current to set the soft start time.

changing) load conditions. For higher output current applications or dynamic load conditions a 68µF to 100µF low ESR
capacitor is recommended. It is also recommended to put a
small ceramic capacitor (0.1 µF) between the input pin and
ground pin to reduce high frequency spikes.
Buck Operation
LM2716
Buck Operation
FPC1 = 1/(2πCC1(Ro+RC1)), FZC1 = 1/2πCC1RC1.
In some applications, the ESR zero FZ1 can not be cancelled
by FP2. Then, CC3 is needed to introduce FPC2 to cancel the
ESR zero, FP2 = 1/(2πCC3Ro\RC1).
(Continued)
COMPENSATION COMPONENTS
In the control to output transfer function, the first pole FP1
can be estimated as 1/(2πROUTCOUT); The ESR zero FZ1 of
the output capacitor is 1/(2πESRCOUT); Also, there is a high
frequency pole FP2 in the range of 45kHz to 150kHz:
FP2 = FSW/(πn(1−D))
where D = VOUT/VIN, n = 1+0.348L/(VIN−VOUT) (L is in µHs
and VIN and VOUT in volts).
The total loop gain G is approximately 500/IOUT where IOUT
is in amperes.
The rule of thumb is to have more than 45˚ phase margin at
the crossover frequency (G=1).
SCHOTTKY DIODE
The breakdown voltage rating of D1 is preferred to be 25%
higher than the maximum input voltage. Since D1 is only on
for a short period of time, the average current rating for D1
only requires being higher than 30% of the maximum output
current.
A Gm amplifier is used inside the LM2716. The output resistor Ro of the Gm amplifier is about 85kΩ. CC1 and RC1
together with Ro give a lag compensation to roll off the gain:

CONTINUOUS CONDUCTION MODE
The LM2716 contains a current-mode, PWM boost regulator.
A boost regulator steps the input voltage up to a higher
output voltage. In continuous conduction mode (when the
inductor current never reaches zero at steady state), the
boost regulator operates in two cycles.
In the first cycle of operation, shown in Figure 1 (a), the
transistor is closed and the diode is reverse biased. Energy

COUT.
The second cycle is shown in Figure 1 (b). During this cycle,
the transistor is open and the diode is forward biased. The

where D is the duty cycle of the switch, D and D' will be
required for design calculations.
SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The output voltage is set using the feedback pin and a
resistor divider connected to the output as shown in Figure 3.
The feedback pin voltage is 1.26V, so the ratio of the feedback resistors sets the output voltage according to the following equation:

LM2716
Boost Operation
(Continued)
The LM2716 has a current mode PWM boost converter. The
signal flow of this control scheme has two feedback loops,
one that senses switch current and one that senses output
voltage.
To keep a current programmed control converter stable
above duty cycles of 50%, the inductor must meet certain
criteria. The inductor, along with input and output voltage,
will determine the slope of the current through the inductor
(see Figure 2 (a)). If the slope of the inductor current is too
great, the circuit will be unstable above duty cycles of 50%.
If the duty cycle is approaching near 85% up to the maximum
of 95%, it may be necessary to increase the inductance by
as much as 2X. See Inductor and Diode Selection for more
detailed inductor sizing.
The LM2716 provides a compensation pin (VC2) to customize the voltage loop feedback. It is recommended that a
series combination of RC2 and CC2 be used for the compensation network, as shown in Figure 3. For any given application, there exists a unique combination of RC2 and CC2
that will optimize the performance of the LM2716 circuit in
terms of its transient response. The series combination of
RC2 and CC2 introduces a pole-zero pair according to the
following equations:
where FSW is the switching frequency, D is the duty cycle,
and RDSON is the ON resistance of the internal switch taken
from the graph "Boost Switch RDSON vs. Input Voltage" in the
Typical Performance Characteristics section. This equation
is only good for duty cycles greater than 50% (D > 0.5), for
duty cycles less than 50% the recommended values may be
used. The corresponding inductor current ripple as shown in
Figure 2 (a) is given by:
The inductor ripple current is important for a few reasons.
One reason is because the peak switch current will be the
average inductor current (input current or ILOAD/D’) plus ∆iL.
As a side note, discontinuous operation occurs when the
inductor current falls to zero during a switching cycle, or ∆iL
is greater than the average inductor current. Therefore, continuous conduction mode occurs when ∆iL is less than the
average inductor current. Care must be taken to make sure
that the switch will not reach its current limit during normal
operation. The inductor must also be sized accordingly. It
should have a saturation current rating higher than the peak
inductor current expected. The output voltage ripple is also
affected by the total ripple current.
The output diode for a boost regulator must be chosen
correctly depending on the output voltage and the output
current. The typical current waveform for the diode in continuous conduction mode is shown in Figure 2 (b). The diode
must be rated for a reverse voltage equal to or greater than
the output voltage used. The average current rating must be
greater than the maximum load current expected, and the
peak current rating must be greater than the peak inductor
current. During short circuit testing, or if short circuit conditions are possible in the application, the diode current rating
must exceed the switch current limit. Using Schottky diodes
with lower forward voltage drop will decrease power dissipation and increase efficiency.
where RO is the output impedance of the error amplifier,
approximately 850kΩ. For most applications, performance
can be optimized by choosing values within the range 5kΩ ≤
RC2 ≤ 20kΩ (RC2 can be up to 200kΩ if CC4 is used, see
High Output Capacitor ESR Compensation) and 680pF ≤
CC2 ≤ 4.7nF. Refer to the Applications Information section for
recommended values for specific circuits and conditions.
Refer to the Compensation section for other design requirement.
COMPENSATION
This section will present a general design procedure to help
insure a stable and operational circuit. The designs in this
datasheet are optimized for particular requirements. If different conversions are required, some of the components may
need to be changed to ensure stability. Below is a set of
general guidelines in designing a stable circuit for continuous conduction operation (loads greater than approximately
100mA), in most all cases this will provide for stability during
discontinuous operation as well. The power components and
their effects will be determined first, then the compensation
components will be chosen to produce stability.
DC GAIN AND OPEN-LOOP GAIN
Since the control stage of the converter forms a complete
feedback loop with the power components, it forms a closedloop system that must be stabilized to avoid positive feedback and instability. A value for open-loop DC gain will be
required, from which you can calculate, or place, poles and
zeros to determine the crossover frequency and the phase
margin. A high phase margin (greater than 45˚) is desired for
the best stability and transient response. For the purpose of
stabilizing the LM2716, choosing a crossover point well below where the right half plane zero is located will ensure
sufficient phase margin. A discussion of the right half plane
zero and checking the crossover using the DC gain will
follow.
INDUCTOR AND DIODE SELECTION
Although the inductor sizes mentioned earlier are fine for
most applications, a more exact value can be calculated. To
ensure stability at duty cycles above 50%, the inductor must
have some minimum value determined by the minimum
input voltage and the maximum output voltage. This equation is:
www.national.com
OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
The choice of output capacitors is somewhat arbitrary and
depends on the design requirements for output voltage
ripple. It is recommended that low ESR (Equivalent Series
12
zero is not exact. Determine the range of fP1 over the expected loads and then set the zero fZC to a point approximately in the middle. The frequency of this zero is determined by:
(Continued)
Resistance, denoted RESR) capacitors be used such as
ceramic, polymer electrolytic, or low ESR tantalum. Higher
ESR capacitors may be used but will require more compensation which will be explained later on in the section. The
ESR is also important because it determines the peak to
peak output voltage ripple according to the approximate
equation:
∆VOUT ) 2∆iLRESR (in Volts)
Now RC2 can be chosen with the selected value for CC2.
Check to make sure that the pole fPC is still in the 10Hz to
500Hz range, change each value slightly if needed to ensure
both component values are in the recommended range. After
checking the design at the end of this section, these values
can be changed a little more to optimize performance if
desired. This is best done in the lab on a bench, checking the
load step response with different values until the ringing and
overshoot on the output voltage at the edge of the load steps
is minimal. This should produce a stable, high performance
circuit. For improved transient response, higher values of
RC2 should be chosen. This will improve the overall bandwidth which makes the regulator respond more quickly to
transients. If more detail is required, or the most optimal
performance is desired, refer to a more in depth discussion
of compensating current mode DC/DC switching regulators.
A minimum value of 10µF is recommended and may be
increased to a larger value. After choosing the output capacitor you can determine a pole-zero pair introduced into the
control loop by the following equations:
Where RL is the minimum load resistance corresponding to
the maximum load current. The zero created by the ESR of
the output capacitor is generally very high frequency if the
ESR is small. If low ESR capacitors are used it can be
neglected. If higher ESR capacitors are used see the High
Output Capacitor ESR Compensation section.
HIGH OUTPUT CAPACITOR ESR COMPENSATION
When using an output capacitor with a high ESR value, or
just to improve the overall phase margin of the control loop,
another pole may be introduced to cancel the zero created
by the ESR. This is accomplished by adding another capacitor, CC4, directly from the compensation pin VC2 to ground, in
parallel with the series combination of RC2 and CC2. The
pole should be placed at the same frequency as fZ1, the ESR
zero. The equation for this pole follows:
RIGHT HALF PLANE ZERO
A current mode control boost regulator has an inherent right
half plane zero (RHP zero). This zero has the effect of a zero
in the gain plot, causing an imposed +20dB/decade on the
rolloff, but has the effect of a pole in the phase, subtracting
another 90˚ in the phase plot. This can cause undesirable
effects if the control loop is influenced by this zero. To ensure
the RHP zero does not cause instability issues, the control
loop should be designed to have a bandwidth of less than 1⁄2
the frequency of the RHP zero. This zero occurs at a frequency of:
To ensure this equation is valid, and that CC4 can be used
without negatively impacting the effects of RC2 and CC2, fPC4
must be greater than 10fZC.
CHECKING THE DESIGN
The final step is to check the design. This is to ensure a
bandwidth of 1⁄2 or less of the frequency of the RHP zero.
This is done by calculating the open-loop DC gain, ADC. After
this value is known, you can calculate the crossover visually
by placing a −20dB/decade slope at each pole, and a +20dB/
decade slope for each zero. The point at which the gain plot
crosses unity gain, or 0dB, is the crossover frequency. If the
crossover frequency is less than 1⁄2 the RHP zero, the phase
margin should be high enough for stability. The phase margin can also be improved by adding CC4 as discussed earlier
in the section. The equation for ADC is given below with
additional equations required for the calculation:
where ILOAD is the maximum load current and D’ corresponds to the minimum input voltage.
SELECTING THE COMPENSATION COMPONENTS
The first step in selecting the compensation components
RC2 and CC2 is to set a dominant low frequency pole in the
control loop. Simply choose values for RC2 and CC2 within
the ranges given in the Introduction to Compensation section
to set this pole in the area of 10Hz to 500Hz. The frequency
of the pole created is determined by the equation:
where RO is the output impedance of the error amplifier,
approximately 850kΩ. Since RC2 is generally much less than
RO, it does not have much effect on the above equation and
can be neglected until a value is chosen to set the zero fZC.
fZC is created to cancel out the pole created by the output
capacitor, fP1. The output capacitor pole will shift with different load currents as shown by the equation, so setting the

directly to a dedicated analog ground plane and this ground
plane must connect to the AGND pin. If no analog ground
plane is available then the ground connections of the feedback and compensation networks must tie directly to the
AGND pin. Connecting these networks to the PGND can
inject noise into the system and effect performance.
The input bypass capacitor CIN, as shown in Figure 3, must
be placed close to the IC. This will reduce copper trace
resistance which effects input voltage ripple of the IC. For
additional input voltage filtering, a 100nF bypass capacitor
can be placed in parallel with CIN, close to the VIN pin, to
shunt any high frequency noise to ground. The output capacitors, COUT1 and COUT2, should also be placed close to
the IC. Any copper trace connections for the COUTX capacitors can increase the series resistance, which directly effects
output voltage ripple. The feedback network, resistors RFB1
and RFB2, should be kept close to the FB pin, and away from
the inductor, to minimize copper trace connections that can
inject noise into the system. Trace connections made to the
inductors and schottky diodes should be minimized to reduce power dissipation and increase overall efficiency. See
Figure 3, Figure 4, and Figure 5 for a good example of
proper layout. For more detail on switching power supply
layout considerations see Application Note AN-1149: Layout
Guidelines for Switching Power Supplies.

where RL is the minimum load resistance, VIN is the minimum input voltage, gm is the error amplifier transconductance found in the Electrical Characteristics table, and RDSON is the value chosen from the graph "RDSON2 vs. VIN " in
the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
The LM2716 uses two separate ground connections, PGND
for the drivers and boost NMOS power device and AGND for
the sensitive analog control circuitry. The AGND and PGND
pins should be tied directly together at the package. The
feedback and compensation networks should be connected
