The LT1302 operates in one of two modes, depending on load. With light loads, comparator CMP1 controls the output; with heavy loads, control is passed to error amplifier A1. Burst Mode operation consists of monitoring the FB pin voltage with hysteretic comparator CMP1. When the FB voltage, related to the output voltage by external attenuator R1 and R2, falls below the 1.24V reference voltage, the oscillator is enabled. Switch Q4 alternately turns on, causing current buildup in inductor L1, then turns off, allowing the built-up current to flow into output capacitor C3 via D1.

LT1302-5 Block Diagram U CMP1’s hysteresis (about 5mV) CMP1 turns the oscillator off. In this mode, peak switch current is limited to approximately 1A by A2, Q2, and Q3. Q2’s current, set at 34µA, flows through R5, causing A2’s negative input to be 25mV lower than VIN. This node must fall more than 36mV below VIN for A2 to trip and turn off the oscillator. The remaining 11mV is generated by Q3’s current flowing through R4. Emitter-area scaling sets Q3’s collector current to 0.625% of switch Q4’s current. When Q4’s current is 1A, Q3’s current is 6.25mA, creating an 11mV drop across R4 which, added to R5’s 25mV drop, is enough to trip A2. When the output load is increased to the point where the 1A peak current cannot support the output voltage, LT1302/LT1302-5 OPERATIO CMP1 stays on and the peak switch current is regulated by the voltage on the VC pin (A1’s output). VC drives the base of Q1. As the VC voltage rises, Q2 conducts less current, resulting in less drop across R5. Q4’s peak current must then increase in order for A2 to trip. This current mode control results in good stability and immunity to input voltage variations. Because this is a linear, APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Inductor Selection Inductors used with the LT1302 must fulfill two requirements. First, the inductor must be able to handle current of 2.5A to 3A without runaway saturation. Rod or drum core units usually saturate gradually and it is acceptable to exceed manufacturers’ published saturation currents by 20% or so. Second, it should have low DCR, under 0.05Ω so that copper loss is kept low. Inductance value is not critical. Generally, for low voltage inputs down to 2V, a 10µH inductor is recommended (such as Coilcraft DO3316103). For inputs above 4V to 5V use a 22µH unit (such as Coilcraft DO3316-223). Switching frequency can reach up to 400kHz so the core material should be able to handle high frequency without loss. Ferrite or molypermalloy cores are a better choice than powdered iron. If EMI is a concern a toroidal inductor is suggested, such as Coiltronics CTX20-4. For a boost converter, duty cycle can be calculated by the following formula: L≤ V  DC = 1–  IN   VOUT  A special situation exists where the VOUT/VIN differential is high, such as a 2V-to-12V converter. The required duty cycle is higher than the LT1302 can provide, so the converter must be designed for discontinuous operation. This means that inductor current goes to zero during the switch off-time. In the 2V-to-12V case, inductance must be low enough so that current in the inductor can reach 2A in a single cycle. Inductor value can be defined by: U W U U U closed-loop system, frequency compensation is required. A series RC from VC to ground provides the necessary pole-zero combination. The LT1302-5 incorporates feedback resistors R1 and R2 into the device. Output voltage is set at 5.05V in Burst Mode, dropping to 4.97V in current mode. (V IN − VSW )× t ON 2A With the 2V input a value of 3.3µH is acceptable. Since the inductance is so low, usually a smaller core size can be used. Efficiency will not be as high as for the continuous case since peak currents will necessarily be higher. Table 1 lists inductor suppliers along with appropriate part numbers. Table 1.

A high ESR capacitor can result in “modehopping” between current mode and Burst Mode at high load currents because the output voltage will increase by ISW × ESR when the inductor current is flowing into the diode. Figure 4 shows output voltage of an LT1302-5 boost converter with two 220µF AVX TPS capacitors at the output. Ripple voltage at a 510mA load is about 30mVP-P 7 LT1302/LT1302-5 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION and there is no low frequency component. The total ESR is under 0.03Ω. If a single 100µF aluminum electrolytic capacitor is used instead, the converter mode-hops between current mode and Burst Mode due to high ESR, causing the voltage comparator to trip as shown in Figure 5. The ripple voltage is now over 500mVP-P and contains a low frequency component. Maximum allowable output capacitor ESR can be calculated by the following formula: ESRMAX = VOS × VOUT VREF × 1A Input Capacitor The input supply should be decoupled with a good quality electrolytic capacitor close to the LT1302 to provide a stable input supply. Long leads or traces from power source to the switcher can have considerable impedance at the LT1302’s switching frequency. The input capacitor provides a low impedance at high frequency. A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is required right at the VIN pin. When the input voltage can be above 5V, a 10Ω/1µF decoupling network for VIN is recommended as detailed in Figure 6. This network is also recommended when driving a transformer. VIN > 5V 10Ω where, VOS = 15mV VREF = 1.24V VOUT 50mV/DIV AC COUPLED ILOAD 510mA 10mA 500µs/DIV 1302 F04 Figure 4.

Do not use “general purpose” diodes such as 1N4001. They are much too slow for use in switching regulator applications. LT1302/LT1302-5 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Frequency Compensation Obtaining proper RC values for the frequency compensation network is largely an empirical procedure, since variations in input and output voltage, topology, capacitor ESR and inductance make a simple formula elusive. As an example, consider the case of a 2.5V to 5V boost converter supplying 500mA. To determine optimum compensation, the circuit is built and a transient load is applied to the circuit. Figure 7 shows the setup. In Figure 7a, the VC pin is simply left floating. Although output voltage is maintained and transient response is good, switch current rises instantaneously to the internal current limit upon application of load. This is an undesirable situation as it places maximum stress on the switch and the other power components. Additionally, efficiency is well down from its optimal value. Next, a 0.1µF capacitor is connected with no resistor. Figure 7b details response. Although the circuit eventually stabilizes, the loop is quite underdamped. Initial output “sag” exceeds 5%.

Output Shows Low Frequency Components Under Load U W U U behavior in the 4th graticule is the result of the LT1302’s Burst Mode comparator turning off all switching as output voltage rises above its threshold. In Figure 7c, the 0.1µF capacitor has been replaced by a 0.01µF unit. Undershoot is less but the response is still underdamped. Figure 7d shows the results of the 0.1µF capacitor and a 10k resistor in series. Now some amount of damping is observed, and behavior is more controlled. Figure 7e details response with a 0.01µF/10k series network. Undershoot is down to around 100mV, or 2%. A slight underdamping is still noticeable. Finally, a 0.01µF/24k series network results in the response shown in Figure 7f. This has optimal damping, undershoot less than 100mV and settles in less than 1ms. The VC pin is sensitive to high frequency noise. Some layouts may inject enough noise to modulate peak switch current at 1/2 the switching frequency. A small capacitor connected from VC to ground will eliminate this. Do not exceed 1/10 of the compensation capacitor value.

To disable Burst Mode, 3.3k resistor R1 is connected from IT to gound. More conservative frequency compensation must be used when in this mode. A 0.1µF capacitor and 4.7k resistor from VC to ground has been found to be adequate. Low frequency Burst Mode ripple can be reduced or eliminated using this technique in many applications. To illustrate, the transient load response of Figure 8’s circuit is pictured without and with R1. Figure 8a shows output voltage and inductor current without the resistor. Note the 6kHz burst rate when the converter is delivering 25mA. By adding the 3.3k resistor, the low frequency bursting is eliminated, as shown in Figure 8b.

Suggested Component Placement for LT1302 U W U U The IT pin cannot be used as a soft-start. Large capacitors connected to the pin will cause erratic operation. If operating the device in Burst Mode, let the pin float. Keep high dV/dt signals away from the pin. Figure 8c details efficiency with and without the addition of R1. Burst Mode operation keeps efficiency high at light load with IT floating. Efficiency falls off at light load with R1 added because the LT1302 cannot transition into Burst Mode. Layout The high speed, high current switching associated with the LT1302 mandates careful attention to layout. Follow the suggested component placement in Figure 9 for proper operation. High current functions are separated by the package from sensitive control functions. Feedback resistors R1 and R2 should be close to the feedback pin (pin4). Noise can easily be coupled into this pin if care is not taken. A small capacitor (100pF to 200pF) from FB to ground provides a high frequency bypass. If the LT1302 is operated off a three-cell or higher input, R3 (2Ω to 10Ω) in series with VIN is recommended. This isolates the device from noise spikes on the input supply. Do not put in R3 if the device must operate from a 2V input, as input current will cause the voltage at the LT1302’s VIN pin to go below 2V. The 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor C3 (use X7R, not Z5U) should be mounted as close as possible to the package. When R3 is used, C3 should be a 1µF tantalum unit. Grounding should be segregated as illustrated. C3’s ground trace should not carry switch current. Run a CC 1302 F09 11 LT1302/LT1302-5 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION separate ground trace up under the package as shown. The battery and load return should go to the power side of the ground copper. Thermal Considerations The LT1302 contains a thermal shutdown feature which protects against excessive internal (junction) temperature. If the junction temperature of the device exceeds the protection threshold, the device will begin cycling between normal operation and an off state. The cycling is not harmful to the part. The thermal cycling occurs at a slow rate, typically 10ms to several seconds, which depends on the power dissipation and the thermal time constants of the package and heat sinking. Raising the ambient temperature until the device begins thermal shutdown gives a good indication of how much margin there is in the thermal design. For surface mount devices heat sinking is accomplished by using the heat spreading capabilities of the PC board and its copper traces. Experiments have shown that the heat spreading copper layer does not need to be electrically connected to the tab of the device. The PCB material can be very effective at transmitting heat between the pad area attached to pins 1 and 8 of the device, and a ground or power plane layer either inside or on the opposite side of the board. Although the actual thermal resistance of the PCB material is high, the length/area ratio of the thermal resistance between the layer is small. Copper board stiffeners and plated through holes can also be used to spread the heat generated by the device. Table 3 lists thermal resistance for the SO package. Measured values of thermal resistance for several different board sizes and copper areas are listed for each surface mount package. All measurements were taken in still air on 3/32" FR-4 board with 1oz copper. This data can be used as a rough guideline in estimating thermal resistance. The thermal resistance for each application will be affected by thermal interactions with other components as well as board size and shape. Table 3.
