FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
•
•
•
The LM3310 is a step-up DC/DC converter integrated
with an Operational Amplifier and a gate pulse
modulation switch. The boost (step-up) converter is
used to generate an adjustable output voltage and
features a low RDSON internal switch for maximum
efficiency. The operating frequency is selectable
between 660kHz and 1.28MHz allowing for the use of
small external components. An external soft-start pin
enables the user to tailor the soft-start time to a
specific application and limit the inrush current. The
Op-Amp is capable of sourcing/sinking 135mA of
current (typical). The gate pulse modulation switch
can operate with a VGH voltage of 5V to 30V. The
LM3310 is available in a low profile 24-lead WQFN
package.

Absolute maximum ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions for which the
device is intended to be functional, but device parameter specifications may not be ensured. For specifications and test conditions, see
the Electrical Characteristics.
If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and
specifications.
Under normal operation the VC and CE pins may go to voltages above this value. The maximum rating is for the possibility of a voltage
being applied to the pin, however the VC and CE pins should never have a voltage directly applied to them.
The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ(MAX), the junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance, θJA, and the ambient temperature, TA. See the Electrical Characteristics table for the thermal resistance of various layouts.
The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using: PD (MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA)/θJA. Exceeding
the maximum allowable power dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.
The human body model is a 100pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor into each pin per JEDEC standard JESD22-A114.

CONTINUOUS CONDUCTION MODE
The LM3310 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 44 (a), the transistor is closed and the diode is reverse biased.
Energy is collected in the inductor and the load current is supplied by COUT.
The second cycle is shown in Figure 44 (b). During this cycle, the transistor is open and the diode is forward
biased. 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:
VOUT =
VIN
1-D
, D' = (1-D) =
VIN
VOUT
where
•
•
D is the duty cycle of the switch

SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE (BOOST CONVERTER)
The output voltage is set using the feedback pin and a resistor divider connected to the output as shown in the
Typical Application Circuit. The feedback pin voltage is 1.263V, so the ratio of the feedback resistors sets the
output voltage according to the following equation:
RFB1 = RFB2 x
VOUT - 1.263

SOFT-START CAPACITOR
The LM3310 has a soft-start pin that can be used to limit the inductor inrush current on start-up. The external SS
pin is used to tailor the soft-start for a specific application but is not required for all applications and can be left
open when not needed. When used a current source charges the external soft-start capacitor CSS until it reaches
its typical clamp voltage, VSS. The soft-start time can be estimated as:
TSS = CSS*VSS/ISS
(3)
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The LM3310 includes thermal shutdown. If the die temperature reaches 145°C the device will shut down until it
cools to a safe temperature at which point the device will resume operation. If the adverse condition that is
heating the device is not removed (ambient temperature too high, short circuit conditions, etc...) the device will
continue to cycle on and off to keep the die temperature below 145°C. The thermal shutdown has approximately
20°C of hysteresis. When in thermal shutdown the boost regulator, Op-Amp, and GPM blocks will all be disabled.
INPUT UNDER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION
The LM3310 includes input under-voltage protection (UVP). The purpose of the UVP is to protect the device both
during start-up and during normal operation from trying to operate with insufficient input voltage. During start-up
using a ramping input voltage the UVP circuitry ensures that the device does not begin switching until the input
voltage reaches the UVP On threshold. If the input voltage is present and the shutdown pin is pulled high the
UVP circuitry will prevent the device from switching if the input voltage present is lower than the UVP On
threshold. During normal operation the UVP circuitry will disable the device if the input voltage falls below the
UVP Off threshold for any reason. In this case the device will not turn back on until the UVP On threshold voltage
is exceeded.
OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER
Compensation:
The architecture used for the amplifier in the LM3310 requires external compensation on the output. Depending
on the equivalent resistive and capacitive distributed load of the TFT-LCD panel, external components at the
amplifier outputs may or may not be necessary. If the capacitance presented by the load is equal to or greater
than an equivalent distibutive load of 50Ω in series with 4.7nF no external components are needed as the TFTLCD panel will act as compensation itself. Distributed resistive and capacitive loads enhance stability and
increase performance of the amplifiers. If the capacitance and resistance presented by the load is less than 50Ω
in series with 4.7nF, external components will be required as the load itself will not ensure stability. No external
compensation in this case will lead to oscillation of the amplifier and an increase in power consumption. A good
choice for compensation in this case is to add a 50Ω in series with a 4.7nF capacitor from the output of the
amplifier to ground. This allows for driving zero to infinite capacitance loads with no oscillations, minimal
overshoot, and a higher slew rate than using a single large capacitor. The high phase margin created by the
external compensation will ensure stability and good performance for all conditions.
Layout and Filtering considerations:
When the power supply for the amplifiers (AVIN) is connected to the output of the switching regulator, the output
ripple of the regulator will produce ripple at the output of the amplifiers. This can be minimized by directly
bypassing the AVIN pin to ground with a low ESR ceramic capacitor. For best noise reduction a resistor on the
order of 5Ω to 20Ω from the supply being used to the AVIN pin will create and RC filter and give you a cleaner
supply to the amplifier. The bypass capacitor should be placed as close to the AVIN pin as possible and
connected directly to the AGND plane.
For best noise immunity all bias and feedback resistors should be in the low kΩ range due to the high input
impedance of the amplifier. It is good practice to use a small capacitance at the high impedance input terminals
as well to reduce noise susceptibility. All resistors and capacitors should be placed as close to the input pins as
possible.
Special care should also be taken in routing of the PCB traces. All traces should be as short and direct as
possible. The output pin trace must never be routed near any trace going to the positive input. If this happens
cross talk from the output trace to the positive input trace will cause the circuit to oscillate.

SNVS341E – AUGUST 2005 – REVISED MAY 2013
The op-amp is not a three terminal device it has 5 terminals: positive voltage power pin, AGND, positive input,
negative input, and the output. The op-amp "routes" current from the power input pin and AGND to the output
pin. So in effect an opamp has not two inputs but four, all of which must be kept noise free relative to the
external circuits which are being driven by the op-amp. The current from the power pins goes through the output
pin and into the load and feedback loop. The current exiting the load and feedback loops then must have a return
path back to the op-amp power supply pins. Ideally this return path must follow the same path as the output pin
trace to the load. Any deviation that makes the loop area larger between the output current path and the return
current path adds to the probability of noise pick up.
GATE PULSE MODULATION
The Gate Pulse Modulation (GPM) block is designed to provide a modulated voltage to the gate driver circuitry of
a TFT LCD display. Operation is best understood by referring to the GPM block diagram in the Block Diagrams
section, the drawing in Figure 45 and the transient waveforms in Figure 46 and Figure 47.
There are two control signals in the GPM block, VDPM and VFLK. VDPM is the enable pin for the GPM block. If
VDPM is high, the GPM block is active and will respond to the VFLK drive signal from the timing controller.
However, if VDPM is low, the GPM block will be disabled and both PMOS switches P2 and P3 will be turned off.
The VGHM node will be discharged through a 1kΩ resistor and the NMOS switch N2.
When VDPM is high, typical waveforms for the GPM block can be seen in Figure 45. The pin VGH is typically
driven by a 2x or 3x charge pump. In most cases, the 2x or 3x charge pump is a discrete solution driven from the
SW pin and the output of the boost switching regulator. When VFLK is high, the PMOS switch P2 is turned on
and the PMOS switch P3 is turned off. With P2 on, the VGHM pin is pulled to the same voltage applied to the
VGH pin. This provides a high gate drive voltage, VGHMMAX, and can source current to the gate drive circuitry.
When VFLK is high, NMOS switch N3 is on which discharges the capacitor CE.

When VFLK is low, the NMOS switch N3 is turned off which allows current to charge the CE capacitor. This
creates a delay, tDELAY, given by the following equations:
tDELAY ≊ 1.265V(CE + 7pF)/ICE
(4)
When the voltage on CE reaches about 1.265V and the VFLK signal is low, the PMOS switch P2 will turn off and
the PMOS switch P3 will turn on connecting resistor R3 to the VGHM pin through P3. This will discharge the
voltage at VGHM at some rate determined by R3 creating a slope, MR, as shown in Figure 45. The VGHM pin is
no longer a current source, it is now sinking current from the gate drive circuitry.

As VGHM is discharged through R3, the comparator connected to the pin VDD monitors the VGHM voltage.
PMOS switch P3 will turn off when the following is true:
VGHMMIN ≊ 10VXR2/(R1 + R2)
where
•
VX is some voltage connected to the resistor divider on pin VDD
(5)
VX is typically connected to the output of the boost switching regulator. When PMOS switch P3 turns off, VGHM
will be high impedance until the VFLK pin is high again.
Figure 46 and Figure 47 give typical transient waveforms for the GPM block. Waveform (1) is the VGHM pin, (2)
is the VFLK and (3) is the VDPM. The output of the boost switching regulator is operating at 8.5V and there is a
3x discrete charge pump (~23.5V) supplying the VGH pin. In Figure 46 and Figure 47, the VGHM pin is driving a
purely capacitive load, 4.7nF. The value of resistor R1 is 15kohm, R2 is 1.1kΩ and R3 is 750Ω. In both transient
plots, there is no CE delay capacitor.
Figure 46. Waveform
Figure 47. Waveform
In the GPM block diagram, a signal called “Reset” is shown. This signal is generated from the VIN under-voltage
lockout, thermal shutdown, or the SHDN pin. If the VIN supply voltage drops below 2.3V, typically, then the GPM
block will be disabled and the VGHM pin will discharge through NMOS switch N2 and the 1kΩ resistor. This
applies also if the junction temperature of the device exceeds 145°C or if the SHDN signal is low. As shown in
the Block Diagrams, both VDPM and VFLK have internal 350kΩ pull down resistors. This puts both VDPM and
VFLK in normally “off” states. Typical VDPM and VFLK pin currents can be found in the Typical Performance
Characteristics section.

The LM3310 is 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 48 (a)). If the slope of the inductor current is too great, the circuit will be unstable above
duty cycles of 50%. A 10µH inductor is recommended for most 660 kHz applications, while a 4.7µH inductor may
be used for most 1.28 MHz applications. If the duty cycle is approaching the maximum of 85%, it may be
necessary to increase the inductance by as much as 2X. See INDUCTOR AND DIODE SELECTION for more
detailed inductor sizing.
The LM3310 provides a compensation pin (VC) to customize the voltage loop feedback. It is recommended that a
series combination of RC and CC be used for the compensation network, as shown in the Typical Application
Circuit. For any given application, there exists a unique combination of RC and CC that will optimize the
performance of the LM3310 circuit in terms of its transient response. The series combination of RC and CC
introduces a pole-zero pair according to the following equations:

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, 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.
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:
L>
VINRDSON
0.144 fs
D -1
D'
(in H)
where
•
•
•
fs is the switching frequency
D is the duty cycle
RDSON is the ON resistance of the internal switch taken from the graph "RDSON vs. VIN" in the Typical
Performance Characteristics section
(8)
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 value given by this equation is the inductance necessary to supress
sub-harmonic oscillations. In some cases the value given by this equation may be too small for a given
application. In this case the average inductor current and the inductor current ripple must be considered.
The corresponding inductor current ripple, average inductor current, and peak inductor current as shown in
Figure 48 (a) is given by:
'iL =
VIND
2Lfs
iL(AVE)
(in Amps)
(9)
IOUT
| KD'
iL(PEAK)
|
(10)
iL(AVE) + 'iL
(11)
Continuous conduction mode occurs when ΔiL is less than the average inductor current and discontinuous
conduction mode occurs when ΔiL is greater 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 48 (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.

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
closed-loop 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 LM3310, choosing a crossover point well below where the
right half plane zero is located will ensure sufficient phase margin.
To ensure a bandwidth of ½ or less of the frequency of the RHP zero, calculate 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 ½ the RHP zero, the phase margin should be high
enough for stability. The phase margin can also be improved by adding CC2 as discussed later in this section.
The equation for ADC is given below with additional equations required for the calculation:

INPUT AND OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
The switching action of a boost regulator causes a triangular voltage waveform at the input. A capacitor is
required to reduce the input ripple and noise for proper operation of the regulator. The size used is dependant on
the application and board layout. If the regulator will be loaded uniformly, with very little load changes, and at
lower current outputs, the input capacitor size can often be reduced. The size can also be reduced if the input of
the regulator is very close to the source output. The size will generally need to be larger for applications where
the regulator is supplying nearly the maximum rated output or if large load steps are expected. A minimum value
of 10µF should be used for the less stressful condtions while a 22µF to 47µF capacitor may be required for
higher power and dynamic loads. Larger values and/or lower ESR may be needed if the application requires very
low ripple on the input source voltage.
The choice of output capacitors is also somewhat arbitrary and depends on the design requirements for output
voltage ripple. It is recommended that low ESR (Equivalent Series 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:
ΔVOUT ≊ 2ΔiLRESR (in Volts)
(18)
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:
fP1 =
1
(in Hz)
2S(RESR + RL)COUT

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. Some suitable capacitor vendors include Vishay, Taiyo-Yuden,
and TDK.
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 ½ the frequency of the RHP zero. This zero occurs at a frequency of:
RHPzero =
VOUT(D')2
(in Hz)
2S,LOADL
where
•
ILOAD is the maximum load current
(21)
SELECTING THE COMPENSATION COMPONENTS
The first step in selecting the compensation components RC and CC is to set a dominant low frequency pole in
the control loop. Simply choose values for RC and CC 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:
fPC =
1
(in Hz)
2S(RC + RO)CC
where
•
RO is the output impedance of the error amplifier, approximately 900kΩ
(22)
Since RC 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 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:
fZC =
1
(in Hz)
2SCCRC
(23)
Now RC can be chosen with the selected value for CC. 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.
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, CC2, directly from the compensation pin VC to ground, in parallel with the series combination of
RC and CC. The pole should be placed at the same frequency as fZ1, the ESR zero. The equation for this pole
follows:
fPC2 =
1
(in Hz)
2SCC2(RC //RO)
(24)
To ensure this equation is valid, and that CC2 can be used without negatively impacting the effects of RC and CC,
fPC2 must be greater than 10fZC.

CHECKING THE DESIGN
With all the poles and zeros calculated the crossover frequency can be checked as described in the section DC
GAIN AND OPEN-LOOP GAIN. The compensation 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 RC 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 optimum performance is desired, refer to a more in depth discussion of compensating
current mode DC/DC switching regulators.
POWER DISSIPATION
The output power of the LM3310 is limited by its maximum power dissipation. The maximum power dissipation is
determined by the formula
PD = (Tjmax - TA)/θJA
where
•
•
•
Tjmax is the maximum specified junction temperature (125°C)
TA is the ambient temperature
θJA is the thermal resistance of the package
(25)
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
The input bypass capacitor CIN, as shown in the Typical Application Circuit, 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 capacitor, COUT, should also be placed close to the IC. Any copper trace
connections for the COUT capacitor 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. RE and CE should also be close to the
RE and CE pins to minimize noise in the GPM circuitry. Trace connections made to the inductor and schottky
diode should be minimized to reduce power dissipation and increase overall efficiency. For more detail on
switching power supply layout considerations see Application Note AN-1149: Layout Guidelines for Switching
Power Supplies.
For Op-Amp layout please refer to the OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER section.
Figure 49, Figure 50, and Figure 51 in the Application Information section following show the schematic and an
example of a good layout as used in the LM3310/11 evaluation board.
