FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
■
The LTC ®3405 is a high efficiency monolithic synchronous buck regulator using a constant frequency, current
mode architecture. Supply current during operation is
only 20µA and drops to
1.5V). In this mode, the efficiency is lower at light loads,
but becomes comparable to Burst Mode operation when
the output load exceeds 25mA. The advantage of pulse
skipping mode is lower output ripple and less interference
to audio circuitry.

Short-Circuit Protection
When the output is shorted to ground, the frequency of the
oscillator is reduced to about 210kHz, 1/7 the nominal
frequency. This frequency foldback ensures that the inductor current has more time to decay, thereby preventing
runaway. The oscillator’s frequency will progressively
increase to 1.5MHz when VFB rises above 0V.
Dropout Operation
As the input supply voltage decreases to a value approaching the output voltage, the duty cycle increases toward the
maximum on-time. Further reduction of the supply voltage
forces the main switch to remain on for more than one cycle
Figure 2. Maximum Output Current vs Input Voltage
Slope Compensation and Inductor Peak Current
Slope compensation provides stability in constant frequency architectures by preventing subharmonic oscillations at high duty cycles. It is accomplished internally by
adding a compensating ramp to the inductor current
signal at duty cycles in excess of 40%. Normally, this
results in a reduction of maximum inductor peak current
for duty cycles > 40%. However, the LTC3405 uses a
patent-pending scheme that counteracts this compensating ramp, which allows the maximum inductor peak
current to remain unaffected throughout all duty cycles.

For most applications, the value of the inductor will fall in
the range of 3.3µH to 10µH. Its value is chosen based on
the desired ripple current. Large value inductors lower
ripple current and small value inductors result in higher
ripple currents. Higher VIN or VOUT also increases the ripple
current as shown in equation 1. A reasonable starting point
for setting ripple current is ∆IL = 120mA (40% of 300mA).

The DC current rating of the inductor should be at least
equal to the maximum load current plus half the ripple
current to prevent core saturation. Thus, a 360mA rated
inductor should be enough for most applications (300mA
+ 60mA). For better efficiency, choose a low DC-resistance
inductor.
The inductor value also has an effect on Burst Mode
operation. The transition to low current operation begins
when the inductor current peaks fall to approximately
100mA. Lower inductor values (higher ∆IL) will cause this
to occur at lower load currents, which can cause a dip in
efficiency in the upper range of low current operation. In
Burst Mode operation, lower inductance values will cause
the burst frequency to increase.
Inductor Core Selection
Different core materials and shapes will change the size/
current and price/current relationship of an inductor. Toroid or shielded pot cores in ferrite or permalloy materials
are small and don’t radiate much energy, but generally cost
more than powdered iron core inductors with similar
electrical characteristics. The choice of which style inductor to use often depends more on the price vs size requirements and any radiated field/EMI requirements than on
what the LTC3405 requires to operate. Table 1 shows some
typical surface mount inductors that work well in LTC3405
applications.

CIN and COUT Selection
In continuous mode, the source current of the top MOSFET
is a square wave of duty cycle VOUT/VIN. To prevent large
voltage transients, a low ESR input capacitor sized for the
maximum RMS current must be used. The maximum
RMS capacitor current is given by:
1/ 2
VOUT (VIN − VOUT )]
[
CIN required IRMS ≅ IOMAX
VIN
This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where
IRMS = IOUT/2. This simple worst-case condition is commonly used for design because even significant deviations
do not offer much relief. Note that the capacitor
manufacturer’s ripple current ratings are often based on
2000 hours of life. This makes it advisable to further derate
the capacitor, or choose a capacitor rated at a higher
temperature than required. Always consult the manufacturer if there is any question.
The selection of COUT is driven by the required effective
series resistance (ESR). An ESR in the range of 100mΩ to
200mΩ is necessary to provide a stable loop. For the
LTC3405, the general rule for proper operation is:
0.1Ω ≤ COUT required ESR ≤ 0.6Ω
ESR is a direct function of the volume of the capacitor; that
is, physically larger capacitors have lower ESR. Once the
ESR requirement for COUT has been met, the RMS current
rating generally far exceeds the IRIPPLE(P-P) requirement.
The output ripple ∆VOUT is determined by:

where f = operating frequency, COUT = output capacitance
and ∆IL = ripple current in the inductor. For a fixed output
voltage, the output ripple is highest at maximum input
voltage since ∆IL increases with input voltage.
Aluminum electrolytic and dry tantalum capacitors are
both available in surface mount configurations. In the case
of tantalum, it is critical that the capacitors are surge tested
for use in switching power supplies. An excellent choice is
the AVX TPS series of surface mount tantalum. These are
specially constructed and tested for low ESR so they give
the lowest ESR for a given volume. Other capacitor types
include Sanyo POSCAP, Kemet T510 and T495 series, and
Sprague 593D and 595D series. Consult the manufacturer
for other specific recommendations.
Another solution is to connect the feedback resistor to the
SW pin as shown in Figure 4. Taking the feedback information at the SW pin removes the phase lag due to the output
capacitor resulting in a very stable loop. This configuration
lowers the load regulation by the DC resistance of the
inductor multiplied by the load current. This slight shift in
load regulation actually helps reduce the overshoot and
undershoot of the output voltage during a load transient.

Using Ceramic Input and Output Capacitors
Figure 4. Using All Ceramic Capacitors
Higher values, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now
becoming available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple
current, high voltage rating and low ESR make them ideal
for switching regulator applications. However, care must
be taken when these capacitors are used at the input and
the output. When a ceramic capacitor is used at the input
and the power is supplied by a wall adapter through long
wires, a load step at the output can induce ringing at the
input, VIN. At best, this ringing can couple to the output and
be mistaken as loop instability. At worst, a sudden inrush
of current through the long wires can potentially cause a
voltage spike at VIN, large enough to damage the part.
When ceramic capacitors are used at the output, their low
ESR cannot provide sufficient phase lag cancellation to
stabilize the loop. One solution is to use a tantalum
capacitor, with its higher ESR, to provide the bulk capacitance and parallel it with a small ceramic capacitor to
reduce the ripple voltage as shown in Figure 3.

A third solution is to use a high value resistor to inject a
feedforward signal at VFB mimicking the ripple voltage of
a high ESR output capacitor. The circuit in Figure 5 shows
how this technique can be easily realized. The feedforward
resistor, R2B, is connected to SW as in the previous
example. However, in this case, the feedback information
is taken from the resistive divider, R2A and R1, at the
output. This eliminates most of the load regulation degradation due to the DC resistance of the inductor while
providing a stable operation similar to that obtained from
a high ESR tantalum type capacitor. Using this technique,
the extra feedforward resistor, R2B, must be accounted
for when calculating the resistive divider as follows:

Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce
losses, two main sources usually account for most of the
losses in LTC3405 circuits: VIN quiescent current and I2R
losses. The VIN quiescent current loss dominates the
efficiency loss at very low load currents whereas the I2R
loss dominates the efficiency loss at medium to high load
currents. In a typical efficiency plot, the efficiency curve at
very low load currents can be misleading since the actual
power lost is of no consequence as illustrated in Figure 8.

Efficiency Considerations
The efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to the
output power divided by the input power times 100%. It is
often useful to analyze individual losses to determine what
is limiting the efficiency and which change would produce
the most improvement. Efficiency can be expressed as:
Efficiency = 100% – (L1 + L2 + L3 + ...)
where L1, L2, etc. are the individual losses as a percentage
of input power.
Figure 8. Power Lost vs Load Current
1. The VIN quiescent current is due to two components:
the DC bias current as given in the electrical characteristics and the internal main switch and synchronous
switch gate charge currents. The gate charge current
results from switching the gate capacitance of the
internal power MOSFET switches. Each time the gate is
switched from high to low to high again, a packet of
charge, dQ, moves from VIN to ground. The resulting
dQ/dt is the current out of VIN that is typically larger than
the DC bias current. In continuous mode, IGATECHG =
f(QT + QB) where QT and QB are the gate charges of the
internal top and bottom switches. Both the DC bias and
gate charge losses are proportional to VIN and thus
their effects will be more pronounced at higher supply
voltages.
2. I2R losses are calculated from the resistances of the
internal switches, RSW, and external inductor RL. In
continuous mode, the average output current flowing
through inductor L is “chopped” between the main
switch and the synchronous switch. Thus, the series
resistance looking into the SW pin is a function of both

top and bottom MOSFET RDS(ON) and the duty cycle
(DC) as follows:
RSW = (RDS(ON)TOP)(DC) + (RDS(ON)BOT)(1 – DC)
The RDS(ON) for both the top and bottom MOSFETs can
be obtained from the Typical Performance Charateristics
curves. Thus, to obtain I2R losses, simply add RSW to
RL and multiply the result by the square of the average
output current.
ambient temperature of 70°C. From the typical performance graph of switch resistance, the RDS(ON) of the
P-channel switch at 70°C is approximately 0.94Ω. Therefore, power dissipated by the part is:
PD = ILOAD2 • RDS(ON) = 84.6mW
For the SOT-23 package, the θJA is 250°C/ W. Thus, the
junction temperature of the regulator is:
TJ = 70°C + (0.0846)(250) = 91.15°C
Other losses including CIN and COUT ESR dissipative
losses and inductor core losses generally account for less
than 2% total additional loss.
which is well below the maximum junction temperature of
125°C.
Thermal Considerations
Note that at higher supply voltages, the junction temperature is lower due to reduced switch resistance (RDS(ON)).
In most applications the LTC3405 does not dissipate
much heat due to its high efficiency. But, in applications
where the LTC3405 is running at high ambient temperature with low supply voltage and high duty cycles, such
as in dropout, the heat dissipated may exceed the maximum junction temperature of the part. If the junction
temperature reaches approximately 150°C, both power
switches will be turned off and the SW node will become
high impedance.
To avoid the LTC3405 from exceeding the maximum
junction temperature, the user will need to do a thermal
analysis. The goal of the thermal analysis is to determine
whether the operating conditions exceed the maximum
junction temperature of the part. The temperature rise is
given by:
TR = (PD)(θJA)
where PD is the power dissipated by the regulator and θJA
is the thermal resistance from the junction of the die to the
ambient temperature.
The junction temperature, TJ, is given by:
T J = TA + TR
where TA is the ambient temperature.
As an example, consider the LTC3405 in dropout at an
input voltage of 2.7V, a load current of 300mA and an
Checking Transient Response
The regulator loop response can be checked by looking at
the load transient response. Switching regulators take
several cycles to respond to a step in load current. When
a load step occurs, VOUT immediately shifts by an amount
equal to (∆ILOAD • ESR), where ESR is the effective series
resistance of COUT. ∆ILOAD also begins to charge or
discharge COUT, which generates a feedback error signal.
The regulator loop then acts to return VOUT to its steadystate value. During this recovery time VOUT can be monitored for overshoot or ringing that would indicate a stability
problem. For a detailed explanation of switching control
loop theory, see Application Note 76.
A second, more severe transient is caused by switching in
loads with large (>1µF) supply bypass capacitors. The
discharged bypass capacitors are effectively put in parallel
with COUT, causing a rapid drop in VOUT. No regulator can
deliver enough current to prevent this problem if the load
switch resistance is low and it is driven quickly. The only
solution is to limit the rise time of the switch drive so that
the load rise time is limited to approximately (25 • CLOAD).
Thus, a 10µF capacitor charging to 3.3V would require a
250µs rise time, limiting the charging current to about
130mA.

PC Board Layout Checklist
4. Keep the switching node, SW, away from the sensitive
VFB node.
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of the
LTC3405. These items are also illustrated graphically in
Figures 9 and 10. Check the following in your layout:
Design Example
As a design example, assume the LTC3405 is used in a
single lithium-ion battery-powered cellular phone
application. The VIN will be operating from a maximum of
4.2V down to about 2.7V. The load current requirement
is a maximum of 0.25A but most of the time it will be in
standby mode, requiring only 2mA. Efficiency at both low
and high load currents is important. Output voltage is
2.5V. With this information we can calculate L using
equation (1),
1. The power traces, consisting of the GND trace, the SW
trace and the VIN trace should be kept short, direct and
wide.
2. Does the VFB pin connect directly to the feedback
resistors? The resistive divider R1/R2 must be connected between the (+) plate of COUT and ground.
3. Does the (+) plate of CIN connect to VIN as closely as
possible? This capacitor provides the AC current to the
internal power MOSFETs.
