LT1109-12

LT1109 Micropower Low Cost DC/DC Converter Adjustable and Fixed 5V, 12V FEATURES s s s s s s s s s s DESCRIPTIO Uses Off-the-Shelf Inductors Only 33µH Inductor Required Low Cost 3-Lead TO-92, SO8, or 8-Pin DIP Adjustable or Fixed 5V or 12V Output 120kHz Oscillator Only Three External Components Required 320µA IQ 1.6V Minimum Start-Up Voltage Logic Controlled Shutdown The LT1109 is a simple step-up DC/DC converter. Available in 8-pin SO, 3-lead TO-92 (fixed output only) or miniDIP packages, the devices require only three external components to construct a complete DC/DC converter. Current drain is just 320µA at no load, making the device ideal for cost-sensitive applications where standby current must be kept to a minimum. The LT1109-5 can deliver 5V at 100mA from a 3V input and the LT1109-12 can deliver 12V at 60mA from a 5V input. The 8-pin versions also feature a logic controlled SHUTDOWN pin that turns off the oscillator when taken low. The gated-oscillator design requires no frequency compensation components. The high frequency 120kHz oscillator permits the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors. For a 5V to 12V at 120mA converter, see the LT1109A. Foa a 5V to 12V at 200mA converter with 20µA shutdown current, see the LT1301.

Power for internal regulator circuitry is taken from the VOUT pin, a technique known as “bootstrapping.” Circuit operation can be best understood by referring to the block diagram. VOUT, attenuated by R1 and R2, is applied to the negative input of comparator A1. When this voltage falls below the 1.25V reference voltage, the oscillator is turned on and the power switch Q1 cycles at the oscillator 4 UW U Quiescent Current 450 TA = 25°C 400 400 380 360 340 320 300 280 260 240 220 200 INPUT VOLTAGE (V) Quiescent Current 350 300 250 200 –50 –25 0 25 50 75 100 TEMPERATURE (°C) LT1109 • TPC10 W LT1109-5, -12 N8, S8 Package FB SENSE R2 250k SW SW 1.25V REFERENCE COMPARATOR + A1 120kHz OSCILLATOR DRIVER R1 Q1 Q1 – GND SHUTDOWN LT1109 • TA04 ON FIXED VERSION PIN 8 IS SENSE ON ADJUSTABLE VERSION PIN 8 IS FB AND R1 AND R2 ARE DISCONNECTED frequency of 120kHz. Switch cycling alternately builds current in the inductor, then dumps it into the output capacitor, increasing the output voltage. When A1’s negative input rises above 1.25V, it turns off the oscillator. A small amount of hysteresis in A1 obviates the need for frequency compensation circuitry. When Q1 is off, current into the VOUT pin drops to just 320µA. Quiescent current from the battery will be higher because the device operates off the stepped-up voltage. LT1109 LT1109 S8 A D 8 OPERATIO The 8-pin versions of the LT1109 have separate pins for VIN and SENSE or FB and also have a SHUTDOWN pin. Separating the device VIN pin from the SENSE pin allows the device to be powered from the (lower) input voltage rather than the (higher) output voltage. Although quiescent current remains constant, quiescent power will be APPLICATI S I FOR ATIO Inductor Selection A DC/DC converter operates by storing energy as magnetic flux in an inductor core, and then switching this energy into the load. To operate as an efficient energy transfer element, the inductor must fulfill three requirements. First, the inductance must be low enough for the inductor to store adequate energy under the worst case condition of minimum input voltage and switch-ON time. The inductance must also be high enough so that maximum current ratings of the LT1109 and inductor are not exceeded at the other worst case condition of maximum input voltage and ON time. Additionally, the inductor core must be able to store the required flux; i.e., it must not saturate. At power levels generally encountered with LT1109 designs, small ferrite surface-mount inductors will function well. Lastly, the inductor must have sufficiently low DC resistance so that excessive power is not lost as heat in the windings. Look for DCR values in the inductors’ specification tables; values under 0.5Ω will give best efficiency. An additional consideration is ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI). Toroid and pot core type inductors are recommended in applications where EMI must be kept to a minimum; for example, where there are sensitive analog circuitry or transducers nearby. Rod core types are a less expensive choice where EMI is not a problem. Specifying a proper inductor for an application requires first establishing minimum and maximum input voltage, output voltage, and output current. In a step-up converter, the inductive events add to the input voltage to produce the output voltage. Power required from the inductor is determined by PL = (VOUT + VD – VIN) (IOUT) (01) U reduced by using the 8-pin version since the quiescent current flows from a lower voltage source. The SHUTDOWN pin disables the oscillator when taken to a logic “0.” If left floating or tied high, the converter operates normally. With SHUTDOWN low, quiescent current remains at 320µA. where VD is the diode drop (0.5V for a 1N5818 Schottky). Energy required by the inductor per cycle must be equal or greater than PL FOSC U W U UU UO (02) in order for the converter to regulate the output. When the switch is closed, current in the inductor builds according to –R't  V IL t = IN  1 – e L  R'   () (03) where R' is the sum of the switch equivalent resistance (0.8 typical at 25°C) and the inductor DC resistance. When the drop across the switch is small compared to VIN, the simple lossless equation V IL t = IN t L () (04) can be used. These equations assume that at t = 0, inductor current is zero. This situation is called “discontinuous mode operation” in switching regulator parlance. Setting “t” to the switch-ON time from the LT1109 specification table (typically 4.2µs) will yield IPEAK for a specific “L” and VIN. Once IPEAK is known, energy in the inductor at the end of the switch-ON time can be calculated as EL = 12 LI 2 PEAK (05) EL must be greater than PL/FOSC for the converter to deliver the required power. For best efficiency IPEAK should be 5 LT1109 APPLICATI S I FOR ATIO kept to 600mA or less. Higher switch currents will cause excessive drop across the switch resulting in reduced efficiency. In general, switch current should be held to as low a value as possible in order to keep switch, diode and inductor losses at a minimum. As an example, suppose 12V at 60mA is to be generated from a 4.5V input. Recalling Equation 01, PL = (12V + 0.5V – 4.5V) (60mA) = 480mW. Energy required from the inductor is PL FOSC = 480mW = 4.0µJ. 120kHz (06) Picking an inductor value of 33µH with 0.2Ω DCR results in a peak switch current of I PEAK = –1.0 • 4.2µ s  4.5 V  1 – e 33µH  = 538m A. 1.0Ω    Substituting IPEAK into Equation 03 results in EL = 2 1 33µH 0.538 A = 4.77µJ. 2 ( )( ) Since 4.77µJ > 4µJ the 33µH inductor will work. This trialand-error approach can be used to select the optimum inductor. Keep in mind the switch current maximum rating of 1.2A. If the calculated peak current exceeds this, the input voltage must be increased or the load decreased. Capacitor Selection The output capacitor should be chosen on the basis of its equivalent series resistance (ESR). Surface-mount tantalum electrolytics can be used provided the ESR value is sufficiently low. An ESR of 0.1Ω will result in a 50mV step at the output of the converter when the peak inductor current is 500mA. Physically larger capacitors have lower ESR. Diode Selection Speed, forward drop, and leakage current are the three main considerations in selecting a catch diode for LT1109 converters. General purpose rectifiers such as the 1N4001 6 U W U UO (07) are unsuitable for use in any switching regulator application. Although they are rated at 1A, the switching time of a 1N4001 is in the 10µs-50µs range. At best, efficiency will be severely compromised when these diodes are used; at worst, the circuit may not work at all. Most LT1109 circuits will be well served by a 1N5818 Schottky diode. The combination of 500mV forward drop at 1A current, fast turn-ON and turn-OFF time, and 4µA to 10µA leakage current fit nicely with LT1109 requirements. At peak switch currents of 100mA or less, a 1N4148 signal diode may be used. This diode has leakage current in the 1nA to 5nA range at 25°C and lower cost than a 1N5818. Table 1.
