Electrical Specifications Subject to Change LT3990 60V, 350mA Step-Down Regulator with 2.5µA Quiescent Current and Integrated Diodes FEATURES n DESCRIPTION The LT®3990 is an adjustable frequency monolithic buck switching regulator that accepts a wide input voltage range up to 60V, and consumes only 2.5μA of quiescent current. A high efficiency switch is included on the die along with the catch diode, boost diode, and the necessary oscillator, control and logic circuitry. Low ripple Burst Mode operation maintains high efficiency at low output currents while keeping the output ripple below 5mV in a typical application. Current mode topology is used for fast transient response and good loop stability. A catch diode current limit provides protection against shorted outputs and overvoltage conditions. An enable pin with accurate threshold is available, producing a low shutdown current of 0.7μA. A power good flag signals when VOUT reaches 90% of the programmed output voltage. The LT3990 is available in small 10-pin MSOP and 3mm × 2mm DFN packages. L, LT, LTC, LTM, Burst Mode, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

Connect the feedback resistor divider tap to this pin. EN (Pin 2): The part is in shutdown when this pin is low and active when this pin is high. The hysteretic threshold voltage is 1V going up and 0.97V going down. Tie to VIN if shutdown feature is not used. The EN threshold is accurate only when VIN is above 4.2V. If VIN is lower than 4.2V, ground EN to place the part in shutdown. VIN (Pin 3): The VIN pin supplies current to the LT3990’s internal circuitry and to the internal power switch. This pin must be locally bypassed. GND (Pins 4, 5): Ground. SW (Pin 6): The SW pin is the output of an internal power switch. Connect this pin to the inductor. BOOST (Pin 7): This pin is used to provide a drive voltage, higher than the input voltage, to the internal bipolar NPN power switch. BD (Pin 8): This pin connects to the anode of the boost diode. This pin also supplies current to the LT3990’s internal regulator when BD is above 3.2V. PG (Pin 9): The PG pin is the open-drain output of an internal comparator. PG remains low until the FB pin is within 10% of the final regulation voltage. PG is valid when VIN is above 4.2V and EN is high. RT (Pin 10): A resistor is tied between RT and ground to set the switching frequency. Exposed Pad (Pin 11, DFN Only): Ground. Must be soldered to PCB.

An oscillator, with frequency set by RT, sets an RS flip-flop, turning on the internal power switch. An amplifier and comparator monitor the current flowing between the VIN and SW pins, turning the switch off when this current reaches a level determined by the voltage at VC (see Block Diagram). An error amplifier measures the output voltage through an external resistor divider tied to the FB pin and servos the VC node. If the error amplifier’s output increases, more current is delivered to the output; if it decreases, less current is delivered. Another comparator monitors the current flowing through the catch diode and reduces the operating frequency when the current exceeds the 410mA bottom current limit. This foldback in frequency helps to control the output current in fault conditions such as a shorted output with high input voltage. Maximum deliverable current to the output is therefore limited by both switch current limit and catch diode current limit. An internal regulator provides power to the control circuitry. The bias regulator normally draws power from the VIN pin, but if the BD pin is connected to an external voltage higher than 3.2V, bias power will be drawn from the external source (typically the regulated output voltage). This improves efficiency. If the EN pin is low, the LT3990 is shut down and draws 0.7μA from the input. When the EN pin exceeds 1V, the switching regulator will become active. The switch driver operates from either VIN or from the BOOST pin. An external capacitor is used to generate a voltage at the BOOST pin that is higher than the input supply. This allows the driver to fully saturate the internal bipolar NPN power switch for efficient operation. To further optimize efficiency, the LT3990 automatically switches to Burst Mode operation in light load situations. Between bursts, all circuitry associated with controlling the output switch is shut down reducing the input supply current to 1.7μA. The LT3990 contains a power good comparator which trips when the FB pin is at 90% of its regulated value. The PG output is an open-drain transistor that is off when the output is in regulation, allowing an external resistor to pull the PG pin high. Power good is valid when the LT3990 is enabled and VIN is above 4.2V. 3990p 8 LT3990 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION FB Resistor Network The output voltage is programmed with a resistor divider between the output and the FB pin. Choose the 1% resistors according to: ⎛V ⎞ R1= R2 ⎜ OUT – 1⎟ ⎝ 1.21 ⎠ Reference designators refer to the Block Diagram. Note that choosing larger resistors will decrease the quiescent current of the application circuit. Setting the Switching Frequency The LT3990 uses a constant frequency PWM architecture that can be programmed to switch from 200kHz to 2.2MHz by using a resistor tied from the RT pin to ground. A table showing the necessary RT value for a desired switching frequency is in Table 1. Table 1. Switching Frequency vs RT Value SWITCHING FREQUENCY (MHz) 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2 1.4 1.6 1.8 2.0 2.2 RT VALUE (kΩ) 768 499 357 280 226 158 124 100 80.6 68.1 57.6 49.9 42.2 where VIN is the typical input voltage, VOUT is the output voltage, VD is the integrated catch diode drop (~0.7V), and VSW is the internal switch drop (~0.5V at max load). This equation shows that slower switching frequency is necessary to accommodate high VIN/VOUT ratio. Lower frequency also allows a lower dropout voltage. The input voltage range depends on the switching frequency because the LT3990 switch has finite minimum on and off times. The switch can turn on for a minimum of ~150ns and turn off for a minimum of ~160ns (note that the minimum on-time is a strong function of temperature). This means that the minimum and maximum duty cycles are: DCMIN = fSW • tON(MIN) DCMAX = 1 – fSW • tON(MIN) where fSW is the switching frequency, the tON(MIN) is the minimum switch on-time (~150ns), and the tOFF(MIN) is the minimum switch off-time (~160ns). These equations show that duty cycle range increases when switching frequency is decreased. A good choice of switching frequency should allow adequate input voltage range (see next section) and keep the inductor and capacitor values small. Input Voltage Range The minimum input voltage is determined by either the LT3990’s minimum operating voltage of 4.2V or by its maximum duty cycle (as explained in previous section). The minimum input voltage due to duty cycle is: VIN(MIN) = VOUT + VD –V +V 1– fSW • tOFF(MIN) D SW Operating Frequency Trade-Offs Selection of the operating frequency is a trade-off between efficiency, component size, minimum dropout voltage and maximum input voltage. The advantage of high frequency operation is that smaller inductor and capacitor values may be used. The disadvantages are lower efficiency, lower maximum input voltage, and higher dropout voltage. The highest acceptable switching frequency (fSW(MAX)) for a given application can be calculated as follows: fSW(MAX ) = VOUT + VD tON(MIN) ( VIN – VSW + VD ) where VIN(MIN) is the minimum input voltage, VOUT is the output voltage, VD is the catch diode drop (~0.7V), VSW is the internal switch drop (~0.5V at max load), fSW is the switching frequency (set by RT), and tOFF(MIN) is the minimum switch off-time (160ns). Note that higher switching frequency will increase the minimum input voltage. If a lower dropout voltage is desired, a lower switching frequency should be used. 3990p 9 LT3990 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The highest allowed V IN d uring normal operation (VIN(OP-MAX)) is limited by minimum duty cycle and can be calculated by the following equation: VIN(OP-MAX ) = VOUT + VD –V +V fSW • tON(MIN) D SW where VD is the voltage drop of the catch diode (~0.7V), L is in μH and fSW is in MHz. The inductor’s RMS current rating must be greater than the maximum load current and its saturation current should be about 30% higher. For robust operation in fault conditions (start-up or short circuit) and high input voltage (>30V), the saturation current should be above 500mA. To keep the efficiency high, the series resistance (DCR) should be less than 0.1Ω, and the core material should be intended for high frequency applications. Table 2 lists several vendors and suitable types. This simple design guide will not always result in the optimum inductor selection for a given application. As a general rule, lower output voltages and higher switching frequency will require smaller inductor values. If the application requires less than 350mA load current, then a lesser inductor value may be acceptable. This allows use of a physically smaller inductor, or one with a lower DCR resulting in higher efficiency. There are several graphs in the Typical Performance Characteristics section of this data sheet that show the maximum load current as a function of input voltage for several popular output voltages. Low inductance may result in discontinuous mode operation, which is acceptable but reduces maximum load current. For details of maximum output current and discontinuous mode operation, see Linear Technology Application Note 44. Finally, for duty cycles greater than 50% (VOUT/VIN > 0.5), there is a minimum inductance required to avoid subharmonic oscillations. See Application Note 19. Input Capacitor Bypass the input of the LT3990 circuit with a ceramic capacitor of X7R or X5R type. Y5V types have poor performance over temperature and applied voltage, and should not be used. A 1μF to 4.7μF ceramic capacitor is adequate to bypass the LT3990 and will easily handle where tON(MIN) is the minimum switch on-time (~150ns). However, the circuit will tolerate inputs up to the absolute maximum ratings of the VIN and BOOST pins, regardless of chosen switching frequency. During such transients where VIN is higher than VIN(OP-MAX), the switching frequency will be reduced below the programmed frequency to prevent damage to the part. The output voltage ripple and inductor current ripple may also be higher than in typical operation, however the output will still be in regulation. Inductor Selection For a given input and output voltage, the inductor value and switching frequency will determine the ripple current. The ripple current increases with higher VIN or VOUT and decreases with higher inductance and faster switching frequency. A good starting point for selecting the inductor value is: L=3 VOUT + VD fSW Table 2.

Note that larger input capacitance is required when a lower switching frequency is used (due to longer on-times). If the input power source has high impedance, or there is significant inductance due to long wires or cables, additional bulk capacitance may be necessary. This can be provided with a low performance electrolytic capacitor. 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 LT3990 and to force this very high frequency switching current into a tight local loop, minimizing EMI. A 1μF capacitor is capable of this task, but only if it is placed close to the LT3990 (see the PCB Layout section). A second precaution regarding the ceramic input capacitor concerns the maximum input voltage rating of the LT3990. A ceramic input capacitor combined with trace or cable inductance forms a high quality (under damped) tank circuit. If the LT3990 circuit is plugged into a live supply, the input voltage can ring to twice its nominal value, possibly exceeding the LT3990’s voltage rating. This situation is easily avoided (see the Hot Plugging Safely section). Output Capacitor and Output Ripple The output capacitor has two essential functions. It stores energy in order to satisfy transient loads and stabilize the LT3990’s control loop. Ceramic capacitors have very low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and provide the best ripple performance. A good starting value is: 50 COUT = VOUT • fSW where fSW is in MHz and COUT is the recommended output capacitance in μF Use X5R or X7R types. This choice will . provide low output ripple and good transient response. Transient performance can be improved with a higher value capacitor if combined with a phase lead capacitor (typically 22pF) between the output and the feedback pin. A lower value of output capacitor can be used to save space and cost but transient performance will suffer. The second function is that the output capacitor, along with the inductor, filters the square wave generated by the LT3990 to produce the DC output. In this role it determines the output ripple, so low impedance (at the switching frequency) is important. The output ripple decreases with increasing output capacitance, down to approximately 1mV. See Figure 1. Note that a larger phase lead capacitor should be used with a large output capacitor. 18 WORST-CASE OUTPUT RIPPLE (mV) 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 0 20 60 40 COUT (μF) 80 100 3990 F01 FRONT PAGE APPLICATION CLEAD = 47pF FOR COUT ≥ 47μF VIN = 24V VIN = 12V Figure 1. Worst-Case Output Ripple Across Full Load Range When choosing a capacitor, look carefully through the data sheet to find out what the actual capacitance is under operating conditions (applied voltage and temperature). A physically larger capacitor or one with a higher voltage rating may be required. Table 3 lists several capacitor vendors. Table 3.

However, ceramic capacitors can cause problems when used with the LT3990 due to their piezoelectric nature. When in Burst Mode operation, the LT3990’s switching frequency depends on the load current, and at very light loads the LT3990 can excite the ceramic capacitor at audio frequencies, generating audible noise. Since the LT3990 3990p 11 LT3990 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION SWITCHING FREQUENCY (kHz) operates at a lower current limit during Burst Mode operation, the noise is typically very quiet to a casual ear. If this is unacceptable, use a high performance tantalum or electrolytic capacitor at the output. A final precaution regarding ceramic capacitors concerns the maximum input voltage rating of the LT3990. As previously mentioned, a ceramic input capacitor combined with trace or cable inductance forms a high quality (under damped) tank circuit. If the LT3990 circuit is plugged into a live supply, the input voltage can ring to twice its nominal value, possibly exceeding the LT3990’s rating. This situation is easily avoided (see the Hot Plugging Safely section). Low Ripple Burst Mode Operation To enhance efficiency at light loads, the LT3990 operates in low ripple Burst Mode operation which keeps the output capacitor charged to the proper voltage while minimizing the input quiescent current. During Burst Mode operation, the LT3990 delivers single cycle bursts of current to the output capacitor followed by sleep periods where the output power is delivered to the load by the output capacitor. Because the LT3990 delivers power to the output with single, low current pulses, the output ripple is kept below 5mV for a typical application. See Figure 2. As the load current decreases towards a no load condition, the percentage of time that the LT3990 operates in sleep mode increases and the average input current is greatly reduced resulting in high efficiency even at very low loads. Note that during Burst Mode operation, the switching frequency will be lower than the programmed switching frequency. See Figure 3.

Switching Frequency in Burst Mode Operation At higher output loads (above ~45mA for the front page application) the LT3990 will be running at the frequency programmed by the RT resistor, and will be operating in standard PWM mode. The transition between PWM and low ripple Burst Mode is seamless, and will not disturb the output voltage. BOOST and BD Pin Considerations Capacitor C3 and the internal boost Schottky diode (see the Block Diagram) are used to generate a boost voltage that is higher than the input voltage. In most cases a 0.22μF capacitor will work well. Figure 4 shows two ways to arrange the boost circuit. The BOOST pin must be more than 1.9V above the SW pin for best efficiency. For outputs of 2.2V and above, the standard circuit (Figure 4a) is best. For outputs between 2.2V and 2.5V, use a 0.47μF boost capacitor. For output voltages below 2.2V, the boost diode can be tied to the input (Figure 4b), or to another external supply greater than 2.2V. However, the circuit in Figure 4a is more efficient because the BOOST pin current and BD pin quiescent current come from a lower voltage source. Also, be sure that the maximum voltage ratings of the BOOST and BD pins are not exceeded. The minimum operating voltage of an LT3990 application is limited by the minimum input voltage (4.2V) and by the maximum duty cycle as outlined in a previous section. For proper start-up, the minimum input voltage is also limited by the boost circuit. If the input voltage is ramped slowly, the boost capacitor may not be fully charged. Because 3990p Figure 2.

Two Circuits for Generating the Boost Voltage the boost capacitor is charged 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 generally goes to zero once the circuit has started. Figure 5 shows a plot of minimum load to start and to run as a function of input voltage. In many cases the discharged output capacitor will present a load to the switcher, which will allow it to start. The plots show the worst-case situation where VIN is ramping very slowly. For lower start-up voltage, the boost diode can be tied to VIN; however, this restricts the input range to one-half of the absolute maximum rating of the BOOST pin. Enable Pin The LT3990 is in shutdown when the EN pin is low and active when the pin is high. The rising threshold of the EN comparator is 1V, with a 30mV hysteresis. This threshold is accurate when VIN is above 4.2V. If VIN is lower than 4.2V, tie EN pin to GND to place the part in shutdown. 4.5 4.0 0 50 100 150 200 250 LOAD CURRENT (mA) 300 350 3990 F05 Figure 5. The Minimum Input Voltage Depends on Output Voltage, Load Current and Boost Circuit Adding a resistor divider from VIN to EN programs the LT3990 to regulate the output only when VIN is above a desired voltage (see Figure 6). This threshold voltage, VIN(EN), can be adjusted by setting the values R3 and R4 such that they satisfy the following equation: VIN(EN) = R3 + R4 • 1V R4 where output regulation should not start until VIN is above VIN(EN). Note that due to the comparator’s hysteresis, regulation will not stop until the input falls slightly below VIN(EN). 3990p 13 LT3990 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION 160 VIN R3 EN R4 3990 F06 VIN 1V INPUT CURRENT (μA) LT3990 120 80 40 0 4 VIN(EN) = 6V R3 = 5M R4 = 1M + – SHDN OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V) Figure 6.

Figure 7 shows the startup behavior of a typical application with different programmed VIN(EN). Shorted and Reversed Input Protection If the inductor is chosen so that it won’t saturate excessively, a LT3990 buck regulator will tolerate a shorted output. There is another situation to consider in systems where the output will be held high when the input to the LT3990 is absent. This may occur in battery charging applications or in battery backup systems where a battery or some other supply is diode ORed with the LT3990’s output. If the VIN pin is allowed to float and the EN pin is held high (either by a logic signal or because it is tied to VIN), then the LT3990’s internal circuitry will pull its quiescent current through its SW pin. This is fine if the system can tolerate a few μA in this state. If the EN pin is grounded, the SW pin current will drop to 0.7μA. However, if the VIN pin is grounded while the output is held high, regardless of EN, parasitic diodes inside the LT3990 can pull current from the output through the SW pin and the VIN pin. Figure 8 shows a circuit that will run only when the input voltage is present and that protects against a shorted or reversed input.

Figure 9 shows the recommended component placement with trace, ground plane and via locations. Note that large, switched currents flow in the LT3990’s VIN and SW pins, the internal catch diode and the input capacitor. The loop formed by these components should be as small as possible. These components, along with the inductor and output capacitor, should be placed on the same side of the circuit board, and their connections should be made on that layer. Place a local, unbroken ground plane below these components. The SW and BOOST nodes should be as small as possible. Finally, keep the FB nodes small so that the ground traces will shield them from the SW and BOOST nodes. The Exposed Pad on the bottom of the DFN package must be soldered to ground so that the pad acts as a heat sink. To keep thermal resistance low, extend the ground plane as much as possible, and add thermal vias under and near the LT3990 to additional ground planes within the circuit board and on the bottom side. GND GND with stray inductance in series with the power source, forms an under damped tank circuit, and the voltage at the VIN pin of the LT3990 can ring to twice the nominal input voltage, possibly exceeding the LT3990’s rating and damaging the part. If the input supply is poorly controlled or the user will be plugging the LT3990 into an energized supply, the input network should be designed to prevent this overshoot. See Linear Technology Application Note 88 for a complete discussion. High Temperature Considerations For higher ambient temperatures, care should be taken in the layout of the PCB to ensure good heat sinking of the LT3990. The Exposed Pad on the bottom of the DFN package must be soldered to a ground plane. This ground should be tied to large copper layers below with thermal vias; these layers will spread the heat dissipated by the LT3990. Placing additional vias can reduce thermal resistance further. In the MSOP package, the copper lead frame is fused to GND (Pin 5) so place thermal vias near this pin. The maximum load current should be derated as the ambient temperature approaches the maximum junction rating. Power dissipation within the LT3990 can be estimated by calculating the total power loss from an efficiency measurement and subtracting inductor loss. The die temperature is calculated by multiplying the LT3990 power dissipation by the thermal resistance from junction to ambient. Finally, be aware that at high ambient temperatures the internal Schottky diode will have significant leakage current (see Typical Performance Characteristics) increasing the quiescent current of the LT3990 converter. Other Linear Technology Publications Application Notes 19, 35 and 44 contain more detailed descriptions and design information for buck regulators and other switching regulators. The LT1376 data sheet has a more extensive discussion of output ripple, loop compensation and stability testing.
