Block Diagram 3570fa LT3570 OPERATION The LT3570 is a constant frequency, current mode, buck converter and boost converter with an NPN LDO regulator. Operation can be best understood by referring to the Block Diagram. If all of the SHDN pins are held low, the LT3570 is shut down and draws zero quiescent current. When any of the pins exceed 1.4V the internal bias circuits turn on. Each regulator will only begin regulating when its corresponding SHDN pin is pulled high. Each switching regulator controls the output voltage in a similar manner. The operation of the switchers can be understood by looking at the boost regulator. A pulse from the oscillator sets the RS flip-flop A4 and turns on the internal NPN bipolar power switch Q1. Current in Q1 and the external inductor L1 begins to increase. When this current exceeds a level determined by the voltage at VC1, comparator A3 resets A4, turning off Q1. The current in L1 flows through the external Schottky diode D1 and begins to decrease. The cycle begins again at the next pulse from the oscillator. In this way, the voltage on the VC1 pin controls the current through the inductor to the output. The internal error amplifier A1 regulates the output voltage by continually adjusting the VC1 pin voltage. The threshold for switching on the VC1 pin is approximately 750mV and an active clamp of 1.15V limits the output current. The soft-start capacitor C6A allows the part to slowly start up by ramping the internal reference. The driver for the buck regulator can operate from either VIN2 or from the BOOST pin. An external capacitor and diode are used to generate a voltage at the BOOST pin that is higher than the input supply. This allows the driver to saturate the internal bipolar NPN power switch for efficient operation. The driver for the boost regulator is operated from VIN1. The BIAS pin allows the internal circuitry to draw its current from a lower voltage supply than the input. This reduces power dissipation and increases efficiency. If the voltage on the BIAS pin falls below 2.5V, then the LT3570 quiescent current will flow from VIN2. 3570fa 9 LT3570 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION FB Resistor Network The output voltage is programmed with a resistor divider (refer to the Block Diagram) between the output and the FB pin. Choose the resistors according to: ⎞ ⎛V R1= R2 ⎜ OUT – 1⎟ ⎝ 788mV ⎠ Buck Inductor Selection and Maximum Output Current A good first choice for the inductor value is L= VOUT2 + VF for SW2 0.75 • f The optimum inductor for a given application may differ from the one indicated by this simple design guide. A larger value inductor provides a slightly higher maximum load current and will reduce the output voltage ripple. If your load is lower than the maximum load current, then you can relax the value of the inductor and operate with higher ripple current. This allows you to use a physically smaller inductor or one with a lower DCR resulting in higher efficiency. Be aware that if the inductance differs from the simple rule above, then the maximum load current will depend on input voltage. In addition, low inductance may result in discontinuous mode operation, which further reduces maximum load current. For details of maximum output current and discontinuous mode operation, see Linear Technology’s Application Note 44. Finally, for duty cycles greater than 50% (VOUT2/VIN2 > 0.5) a minimum inductance is required to avoid subharmonic oscillations, see Application Note 19. The current in the inductor is a triangle wave with an average value equal to the load current. The peak switch current is equal to the output current plus half the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current. The LT3570 limits its switch current in order to protect itself and the system from overload faults. Therefore, the maximum output current that the LT3570 will deliver depends on the switch current limit, the inductor value and the input and output voltages. When the switch is off, the potential across the inductor is the output voltage plus the catch diode drop. This gives the peak-to-peak ripple current in the inductor: ΔIL2 = where VF is the voltage drop of the catch diode (~0.4V) and f is the switching frequency. With this inductance value or greater, the maximum load current will be 1A, independent of input voltage. The inductor’s RMS current rating must be greater than the maximum load current and its saturation current should be at least 30% higher. For highest efficiency, the series resistance (DCR) should be less than 0.1Ω. Table 1 lists several vendors and types that are suitable. Table 1.

ILIM2 is at least 1.5A at low duty cycles and decreases linearly 3570fa 10 LT3570 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION to 1.2A at DC2 = 0.8. The maximum output current is a function of the chosen inductor value: IOUT2(MAX) = ILIM2 – ΔIL2 2 ΔIL2 2 Powdered iron cores are forgiving because they saturate softly, whereas ferrite cores saturate abruptly. Other core materials fall somewhere in between. The following formula assumes continuous mode operation but it errs only slightly on the high side for discontinuous mode, so it can be used for all conditions. IPEAK1 = IOUT1 • VOUT1 VIN1 ( VOUT1 – VIN1 ) + VIN1 2 • f • L • VOUT1 = 1.5 • (1– 0.25 • DC2) – Choosing an inductor value so that the ripple current is small will allow a maximum output current near the switch current limit. One approach to choosing the inductor is to start with the simple rule given above, look at the available inductors and choose one to meet cost or space goals. Then use these equations to check that the LT3570 will be able to deliver the required output current. Note again that these equations assume that the inductor current is continuous. Discontinuous operation occurs when IOUT2 is less than ΔIL2/2. Boost Inductor Selection For most applications the inductor will fall in the range of 2.2μH to 22μH. Lower values are chosen to reduce physical size of the inductor. Higher values allow more output current because they reduce peak current seen by the power switch, which has a 1.5A current limit. Higher values also reduce input ripple voltage and reduce core loss. The following procedure is suggested as a way of choosing a more optimum inductor. Assume that the average inductor current for a boost converter is equal to the load current times VOUT1/VIN1 and decide whether or not the inductor must withstand continuous overload conditions. If average inductor current at maximum load current is 0.5A, for instance, a 0.5A inductor may not survive a continuous 1.5A overload condition. Also be aware that boost converters are not short-circuit protected, and that under short conditions, inductor current is limited only by the available current of the input supply Calculate peak inductor current at full load current to ensure that the inductor will not saturate. Peak current can be significantly higher than output current, especially with smaller inductors and lighter loads, so don’t omit this step. Make sure that IPEAK1 is less than the switch current ILIM1. ILIM1 is at least 1.5A at low duty cycles and decreases linearly to 1.2A at DC1 = 0.8. The maximum switch current limit can be calculated by the following formula: ILIM1 = 1.5 • (1 – 0.25 • DC1) where DC1 is the duty cycle and is defined as: DC1= 1– VIN1 VOUT1 Remember also that inductance can drop significantly with DC current and manufacturing tolerance. Consideration should also be given to the DC resistance of the inductor as this contributes directly to the efficiency losses in the overall converter. Table 1 lists several inductor vendors and types that are suitable. Buck Output Capacitor Selection For 5V and 3.3V outputs, a 10μF 6.3V ceramic capacitor , (X5R or X7R) at the output results in very low output voltage ripple and good transient response. For lower voltages, 10μF is adequate for ripple requirements but increasing COUT will improve transient performance. Other types and values will also work; the following discusses tradeoffs in output ripple and transient performance. The output capacitor filters the inductor current to generate an output with low voltage ripple. It also stores energy in order to satisfy transient loads and stabilize the LT3570’s control loop. Because the LT3570 operates at a high frequency, minimal output capacitance is necessary. In addition, the control loop operates well with or without the presence of output capacitor series resistance (ESR). Ceramic capacitors, which achieve very low output ripple 3570fa 11 LT3570 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION and small circuit size, are therefore an option. You can estimate output ripple with the following equations: VRIPPLE = and VRIPPLE = ΔIL2 • ESR for electrolytic capacitors (tantalum and aluminum) The RMS content of this ripple is very low so the RMS current rating of the output capacitor is usually not of concern. It can be estimated with the formula: IC(RMS) = ΔIL2 12 ΔIL2 for ceramic capacitors 8 • f • COUT response for large changes in load current. Table 2 lists several capacitor vendors. Table 2. Low ESR Surface Mount Capacitors VENDOR Taiyo Yuden AVX Kemet TYPE Ceramic Ceramic Tantalum Tantalum Ta Organic Al Organic Ta or Al Organic Al Organic Ceramic SERIES X5R, X7R X5R, X7R TPS T491, T494, T495 T520 A700 POSCAP SP CAP X5R, X7R Sanyo Panasonic TDK Boost Output Capacitor Selection Low ESR capacitors should be used at the output to minimize the output ripple voltage. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are the best choice, as they have a very low ESR and are available in very small packages. Always use a capacitor with a sufficient voltage rating. Boost regulators have large RMS ripple current in the output capacitor, which must be rated to handle the current. The formula to calculate this is: IRIPPLE(RMS) = IOUT V –V DC1 = IOUT1 OUT1 IN1 VIN1 1– DC1 Another constraint on the output capacitor is that it must have greater energy storage than the inductor; if the stored energy in the inductor transfers to the output, the resulting voltage step should be small compared to the regulation voltage. For a 5% overshoot, this requirement indicates: ⎛I ⎞ COUT > 10 • L • ⎜ LIM2 ⎟ ⎝ VOUT2 ⎠ 2 The low ESR and small size of ceramic capacitors make them the preferred type for LT3570 applications. Not all ceramic capacitors are the same, however. Many of the higher value capacitors use poor dielectrics with high temperature and voltage coefficients. In particular, Y5V and Z5U types lose a large fraction of their capacitance with applied voltage and at temperature extremes. Because loop stability and transient response depend on the value of COUT, this loss may be unacceptable. Use X7R and X5R types. Electrolytic capacitors are also an option. The ESRs of most aluminum electrolytic capacitors are too large to deliver low output ripple. Tantalum, as well as newer, lower ESR organic electrolytic capacitors intended for power supply use are suitable. Chose a capacitor with a low enough ESR for the required output ripple. Because the volume of the capacitor determines its ESR, both the size and the value will be larger than a ceramic capacitor that would give similar ripple performance. One benefit is that the larger capacitance may give better transient and is largest when VIN1 is at its minimum value if VOUT1 and IOUT1 are constant. With a 1.5A current limit, the maximum that the output current ripple can be is ~0.75A. Table 2 lists several capacitor vendors. Buck Input Capacitor Selection Bypass the input of the LT3570 circuit with a 10μF or higher ceramic capacitor of X7R or X5R type. A lower value or a less expensive Y5V type will work if there is additional bypassing provided by bulk electrolytic capacitors, or if the input source impedance is low. The following paragraphs describe the input capacitor considerations in more detail. Step-down regulators draw current from the input supply in pulses with very fast rise and fall times. The input capacitor is required to reduce the resulting voltage ripple at the LT3570 input and to force this switching current 3570fa 12 LT3570 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION into a tight local loop, minimizing EMI. The input capacitor must have low impedance at the switching frequency to do this effectively and it must have an adequate ripple current rating. The RMS input current is: IIN2(RMS) = IOUT2 • VOUT2 ( VIN2 – VOUT2 ) VIN2 < IOUT2 2 Boost Input Capacitor Selection The capacitor of a boost converter is less critical due to the fact that the input current waveform is triangular and does not contain large squarewave currents as found in the output capacitor. Capacitors in the range of 10μF to 100μF with an ESR of 0.3Ω or less work well up to the full 1.5A switch current. Higher ESR capacitors may be acceptable at low switch currents. Input capacitor ripple current for boost converters is: IRIPPLE = 0.3 • VIN1 • Buck Diode Selection The catch diode (D2 from Figure 1) conducts current only during switch off time. Average forward current in normal operation can be calculated from: ID(AVG) = IOUT1 • VIN1 – VOUT1 VIN1 VOUT1 – VIN1 f • L • VOUT1 and is largest when VIN2 = 2 • VOUT2 (50% duty cycle). Considering that the maximum load current is ~1.5A, RMS ripple current will always be less than 0.75A. The high frequency of the LT3570 reduces the energy storage requirements of the input capacitor, so that the capacitance required is often less than 10μF The combi. nation of small size and low impedance (low equivalent series resistance or ESR) of ceramic capacitors makes them the preferred choice. The low ESR results in very low voltage ripple. Ceramic capacitors can handle larger magnitudes of ripple current than other capacitor types of the same value. Use X5R and X7R types. An alternative to a high value ceramic capacitor is a lower value along with a larger electrolytic capacitor, for example a 1μF ceramic capacitor in parallel with a low ESR tantalum capacitor. For the electrolytic capacitor, a value larger than 10μF will be required to meet the ESR and ripple current requirements. Because the input capacitor is likely to see high surge currents when the input source is applied, tantalum capacitors should be surge rated. The manufacturer may also recommend operation below the rated voltage of the capacitor. Be sure to place the 1μF ceramic as close as possible to the VIN2 and GND pins on the IC for optimal noise immunity. A final caution is in order regarding the use of ceramic capacitors at the input. A ceramic input capacitor can combine with stray inductance to form a resonant tank circuit. If power is applied quickly (for example by plugging the circuit into a live power source), this tank can ring, doubling the input voltage and damaging the LT3570. The solution is to either clamp the input voltage or dampen the tank circuit by adding a lossy capacitor in parallel with the ceramic capacitor. For details, see Application Note 88. The only reason to consider a diode with a larger current rating than necessary for nominal operation is for the worst-case condition of shorted output. The diode current will then increase to the typical peak switch current. Peak reverse voltage is equal to the regulator input voltage. Use a diode with a reverse voltage rating greater than the input voltage. Table 3 lists several Schottky diodes and their manufacturers. Table 3.

The Microsemi UPS120 is a very good choice. Where the input to output voltage differential exceeds 20V, use the UPS140 (a 40V diode). These diodes are rated to handle an average forward current of 1A. For applications where the average forward current of the diode is less than 0.5A, use an ON Semiconductor MBR0520L diode. BOOST Pin Considerations The capacitor and diode tied to the BOOST pin generate a voltage that is higher than the input voltage. In most cases, a 0.1μF capacitor and fast switching diode (such as the CMDSH-3 or MMSD914LT1) will work well. Figure 2 shows three ways to arrange the boost circuit. The BOOST pin must be more than 2.5V above the SW pin for full efficiency. For outputs of 3.3V and higher, the standard circuit (Figure 2a) is best. For outputs between 2.8V and 3.3V, use a small Schottky diode (such as the BAT-54). For lower output voltages, the boost diode can be tied to the input (Figure 2b). The circuit in Figure 2a is more efficient because the BOOST pin current comes from a lower voltage source. Finally, as shown in Figure 2c, the anode of the boost diode can be tied to another source that is at least 3V. For example, if you are generating 3.3V and 1.8V and the 3.3V is on whenever the 1.8V is on, the 1.8V boost diode can be connected to the 3.3V output. In any case, be sure that the maximum voltage at the BOOST pin is less than 60V and the voltage difference between the BOOST and SW2 pins is less than 25V. The minimum operating voltage of an LT3570 application is limited by the undervoltage lockout (2.5V) and by the maximum duty cycle. The boost circuit also limits the minimum input voltage for proper start-up. If the input voltage ramps slowly, or the LT3570 turns on when the output is already in regulation, the boost capacitor may not be fully charged. Because the boost capacitor charges with the energy stored in the inductor, the circuit will rely on some minimum load current to get the boost circuit running properly. This minimum load will depend on input and output voltages, and on the arrangement of the boost circuit. The minimum load current generally goes to zero VIN GND BOOST LT3570 VIN GND SW D2 C2 C3 D3 (2a) D3 BOOST LT3570 SW C5 D2 C2 (2b) D3 VEXT BOOST LT3570 VIN GND SW D2 C2 C5 (2c) 3570 F02 Figure 2. Boost Pin Configurations once the circuit has started. Even without an output load current, in many cases the discharged output capacitor will present a load to the switcher that will allow it to start. Switcher Frequency Compensation The LT3570 uses current mode control to regulate the output. This simplifies loop compensation. In particular, the LT3570 does not depend on the ESR of the output capacitor for stability so you are free to use ceramic capacitors to achieve low output ripple and small circuit size. To compensate the feedback loop of the LT3570, a series resistor-capacitor network should be connected from the VC pin to GND. For most applications, a capacitor in the range of 500pF to 4.7nF will suffice. A good starting . value for the compensation capacitor, CC, is 1nF The 3570fa 14 LT3570 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION compensation resistor, RC, is usually in the range of 5k to 50k. A good technique to compensate a new application is to use a 50k potentiometer in place of RC, and use a 1nF capacitor for CC. By adjusting the potentiometer while observing the transient response, the optimum value for RC can be found. Figures 3a to 3c illustrate this process for the circuit of Figure 1 with load current stepped from 100mA to 500mA for the buck converter. Figure 3a shows the transient response with RC equal to 1.6k. The phase margin is poor as evidenced by the excessive ringing in the output voltage and inductor current. In Figure 3b, the value of RC is increased to 5.75k, which results in a more damped response. Figure 3c shows the result when RC is increased further to 25k. The transient response is nicely damped and the compensation procedure is complete. The same procedure is used to compensate the boost converter. Soft-Start The Soft-start time is programmed with an external capacitor to ground on SS. An internal current source charges it with a nominal 4.5μA. The voltage on the soft-start pin is used to control the feedback voltage. The soft-start time is determined by the equation: tSS = 0.2 • CSS where CSS is in nF and tSS is in ms. In the event of a commanded shutdown, ULVO on the input or a thermal shutdown, the capacitor is discharged automatically. The soft-start will remain low and only charge back up after the fault goes away and the voltage on SS is less than approximately 100mV.

The oscillator frequency vs RT can be seen in Figure 4. The oscillator can be synchronized with an external clock applied to the SYNC pin. When synchronizing the oscillator, the free running frequency must be set approximately 10% lower than the desired synchronized frequency. 2250 2000 1750 FREQUENCY (kHz) 1500 1250 1000 750 500 250 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 RESISTANCE (kΩ) 40 45 MINIMUM DUTY CYCLE (%) 25 20 15 10 5 0 500 750 1000 1250 1500 FREQUENCY (kHz) 1750 2000 3570 F05 Figure 5. Minimum Duty Cycle vs Frequency LDO Regulator The LT3570 LDO regulator is capable of delivering up to 10mA of base drive for an external NPN transistor. For stable operation the total output capacitance can be from 1μF up to 100μF The regulator has its own independent . supply voltage which allows for the base of the NPN to be driven from a higher voltage than its collector. This allows for the NPN regulator to run more efficiently. The power Dissipated in the external NPN is equal to: PDISS = (VCOL – VOUT3) • ILOAD where VCOL is the collector voltage of the NPN. The maximum output voltage is limited to: VIN3 – 1.4V and VCOL – 0.2V or 8V The short-circuit protection of the NPN regulator is set by the max output current of the NPN_DRV pin multiplied by the beta of the NPN. Thermal Shutdown An internal temperature monitor will turn off the internal circuitry and prevent the switches from turning on when the die temperature reaches approximately 160°C. When the die temperature has dropped below this value the part 3570 F04 Figure 4. Frequency vs RT Resistance Buck Regulator Minimum On-Time As the input voltage is increased, the LT3570 is required to turn on for shorter periods of time. Delays associated with turning off the power switch determine the minimum on-time that can be achieved and limit the minimum duty cycle. Figure 5 shows the minimum duty cycle versus frequency for the LT3570. When the required on-time has decreased below the minimum on-time of the LT3570 the inductor current will increase, exceeding the current limit. If the current through the inductor exceeds the current limit of the LT3570, the switch is prevented from turning on for 10μs allowing the inductor current to decrease. The 10μs off-time limits the average current that can be delivered to the load. To return to normal switching frequency either the input voltage or load current must decrease. 3570fa 16 LT3570 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION will be enabled again going through a soft-start cycle. Note: Overtemperature protection is intended to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction temperature may result in device degradation or failure. PCB Layout For proper operation and minimum EMI, care must be taken during printed circuit board (PCB) layout. Figure 6 shows the high current paths in the step-down regulator circuit. Note that in the step-down regulator, large switched currents flow in the power switch, the catch diode and the input capacitor. Figure 7 shows the high current paths in the step-up regulator. In the boost regulator, large switched currents flow through the power switch, the switching diode, and the output capacitor. The loop formed by these large switched current components should be as small as possible. Place these components on the same side of the circuit board and connect them on that layer. Place a local, unbroken ground plane below these components and tie this ground plane LT3570 L2 to system ground at one location. Additionally, keep the SW and BOOST nodes as small as possible. This is implemented in the suggested layout of Figure 8 for the QFN package which shows the topside metal from the DC1106A demonstration board. Thermal Considerations To deliver the power that the LT3570 is capable of, it is imperative that a good thermal path be provided to dissipate the heat generated within the package. This can be accomplished by taking advantage of the large thermal pad on the underside of the IC. It is recommended that multiple vias in the printed circuit board be used to conduct heat away from the IC and into a copper plane with as much area as possible.
