APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
OPERATION
The LT1610 combines a current mode, fixed frequency
PWM architecture with Burst Mode micropower operation
to maintain high efficiency at light loads. Operation can be
best understood by referring to the block diagram in
Figure 2. Q1 and Q2 form a bandgap reference core whose
loop is closed around the output of the converter. When
VIN is 1V, the feedback voltage of 1.23V, along with an
70mV drop across R5 and R6, forward biases Q1 and Q2’s
base collector junctions to 300mV. Because this is not
enough to saturate either transistor, FB can be at a higher
voltage than VIN. When there is no load, FB rises slightly
above 1.23V, causing VC (the error amplifier’s output) to
decrease. When VC reaches the bias voltage on hysteretic
comparator A1, A1’s output goes low, turning off all
circuitry except the input stage, error amplifier and lowbattery detector. Total current consumption in this state is
30µA. As output loading causes the FB voltage to decrease, A1’s output goes high, enabling the rest of the IC.
Switch current is limited to approximately 100mA initially
after A1’s output goes high. If the load is light, the output
voltage (and FB voltage) will increase until A1’s output
goes low, turning off the rest of the LT1610. Low frequency ripple voltage appears at the output. The ripple
frequency is dependent on load current and output capacitance. This Burst Mode operation keeps the output regulated and reduces average current into the IC, resulting in
high efficiency even at load currents of 1mA or less.
If the output load increases sufficiently, A1’s output remains
high, resulting in continuous operation. When the LT1610
is running continuously, peak switch current is controlled
by VC to regulate the output voltage. The switch is turned
on at the beginning of each switch cycle. When the summation of a signal representing switch current and a ramp
generator (introduced to avoid subharmonic oscillations at
duty factors greater than 50%) exceeds the VC signal,
comparator A2 changes state, resetting the flip-flop and
turning off the switch. Output voltage increases as switch
current is increased. The output, attenuated by a resistor
divider, appears at the FB pin, closing the overall loop.
Frequency compensation is provided by either an external
series RC network connected between the VC pin and
ground or the internal RC network on the COMP pin (Pin
8). The typical values for the internal RC are 50k and 50pF.
LAYOUT
Although the LT1610 is a relatively low current device, its
high switching speed mandates careful attention to layout
for optimum performance. For boost converters, follow
the component placement indicated in Figure 3 for the best
results. C2’s negative terminal should be placed close to
Pin 4 of the LT1610. Doing this reduces switching currents
in the ground copper which keeps high frequency “spike”
noise to a minimum. Tie the local ground into the system
ground plane at one point only, using a few vias, to avoid
introducing dI/dt induced noise into the ground plane.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
COMPONENT SELECTION
Inductors
Inductors used with the LT1610 should have a saturation
current rating (–30% of zero current inductance) of approximately 0.5A or greater. DCR should be 0.5Ω or less.
The value of the inductor should be matched to the power
requirements and operating voltages of the application. In
most cases a value of 4.7µH or 10µH is suitable. The Murata
LQH3C inductors specified throughout the data sheet are
small and inexpensive, and are a good fit for the LT1610.
Alternatives are the CD43 series from Sumida and the
DO1608 series from Coilcraft. These inductors are slightly
larger but will result in slightly higher circuit efficiency.
Chip inductors, although tempting to use because of their
small size and low cost, generally do not have enough
energy storage capacity or low enough DCR to be used
successfully with the LT1610.
Diodes
The Motorola MBR0520 is a 0.5 amp, 20V Schottky diode.
This is a good choice for nearly any LT1610 application,
unless the output voltage or the circuit topology require a
diode rated for higher reverse voltages. Motorola also
offers the MBR0530 (30V) and MBR0540 (40V) versions.
Most one-half amp and one amp Schottky diodes are
suitable; these are available from many manufacturers. If
you use a silicon diode, it must be an ultrafast recovery
type. Efficiency will be lower due to the silicon diode’s
higher forward voltage drop.
Capacitors
The input capacitor must be placed physically close to the
LT1610. ESR is not critical for the input. In most cases
inexpensive tantalum can be used.
The choice of output capacitor is far more important. The
quality of this capacitor is the greatest determinant of the
output voltage ripple. The output capacitor performs two
major functions. It must have enough capacitance to
satisfy the load under transient conditions and it must
shunt the AC component of the current coming through
the diode from the inductor. The ripple on the output
results when this AC current passes through the finite
8
impedance of the output capacitor. The capacitor should
have low impedance at the 1.7MHz switching frequency of
the LT1610. At this frequency, the impedance is usually
dominated by the capacitor’s equivalent series resistance
(ESR). Choosing a capacitor with lower ESR will result in
lower output ripple.
Perhaps the best way to decrease ripple is to add a 1µF
ceramic capacitor in parallel with the bulk output capacitor. Ceramic capacitors have very low ESR and 1µF is
enough capacitance to result in low impedance at the
switching frequency. The low impedance can have a
dramatic effect on output ripple voltage. To illustrate,
examine Figure 6’s circuit, a 4-cell to 5V/100mA SEPIC
DC/DC converter. This design uses inexpensive aluminum
electrolytic capacitors at input and output to keep cost
down. Figure 7 details converter operation at a 100mA
load, without ceramic capacitor C5. Note the 400mV
spikes on VOUT.
After C5 is installed, output ripple decreases by a factor of
8 to about 50mVP-P. The addition of C5 also improves
efficiency by 1 to 2 percent.
Low ESR and the required bulk output capacitance can be
obtained using a single larger output capacitor. Larger
tantalum capacitors, newer capacitor technologies (for
example the POSCAP from Sanyo and SPCAP from
Panasonic) or large value ceramic capacitors will reduce
the output ripple. Note, however, that the stability of the
circuit depends on both the value of the output capacitor
and its ESR. When using low value capacitors or capacitors with very low ESR, circuit stability should be evaluated carefully, as described below.
Loop Compensation
The LT1610 is a current mode PWM switching regulator
that achieves regulation with a linear control loop. The
LT1610 provides the designer with two methods of compensating this loop. First, you can use an internal compensation network by tying the COMP pin to the VC pin. This
results in a very small solution and reduces the circuit’s
total part count. The second option is to tie a resistor RC
and a capacitor CC in series from the VC pin to ground. This
allows optimization of the transient response for a wide
variety of operating conditions and power components.

It is best to choose the compensation components empirically. Once the power components have been chosen
(based on size, efficiency, cost and space requirements),
a working circuit is built using conservative (or merely
guessed) values of RC and CC. Then the response of the
circuit is observed under a transient load, and the compen-
Large value ceramic capacitors that are suitable for use as
the main output capacitor of an LT1610 regulator are now
available. These capacitors have very low ESR and therefore offer very low output ripple in a small package.
However, you should approach their use with some
caution.
Ceramic capacitors are manufactured using a number of
dielectrics, each with different behavior across temperature and applied voltage. Y5V is a common dielectric used
for high value capacitors, but it can lose more than 80% of
the original capacitance with applied voltage and extreme
temperatures. The transient behavior and loop stability of
the switching regulator depend on the value of the output
capacitor, so you may not be able to afford this loss. Other
dielectrics (X7R and X5R) result in more stable characteristics and are suitable for use as the output capacitor. The
X7R type has better stability across temperature, whereas
the X5R is less expensive and is available in higher values.
The second concern in using ceramic capacitors is that
many switching regulators benefit from the ESR of the

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
output capacitor because it introduces a zero in the
regulator’s loop gain. This zero may not be effective
because the ceramic capacitor’s ESR is very low. Most
current mode switching regulators (including the LT1610)
can easily be compensated without this zero. Any design
should be tested for stability at the extremes of operating
temperatures; this is particularly so of circuits that use
ceramic output capacitors.
Figure 9 details a 2.5V to 5V boost converter. Transient
response to a 5mA to 105mA load step is pictured in Figure
10. The “double trace” of VOUT at 105mA load is due to the
ESR of C2. This ESR aids stability. In Figure 11, C2 is
replaced by a 10µF ceramic capacitor. Note the low phase
margin; at higher input voltage, the converter may oscillate. After replacing the internal compensation network
with an external 220pF/220k series RC, the transient
response is shown in Figure 12. This is acceptable transient response.
