High efficiency synchronous rectification, in addition to a 700mV startup voltage and operation down to 500mV once started, provides longer run-time for single or multiple cell battery-powered products. A switching frequency of 2MHz minimizes solution footprint by allowing the use of tiny, low profile inductors and ceramic capacitors. The current mode PWM is internally compensated, simplifying the design process. The LTC3528-2 enters Burst Mode operation at light loads. Anti-ringing circuitry reduces EMI by damping the inductor in discontinuous mode. Additional features include a low shutdown current, open-drain power good output, shortcircuit protection and thermal overload protection. The LTC3528-2 is offered in an 8-lead 2mm × 3mm × 0.75mm DFN package. L, LT, LTC, LTM and Burst Mode are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

There is an internal 4M pull-down resistor on this pin. • SHDN = High: Normal operation • SHDN = Low: Shutdown, quiescent current < 1μA FB (Pin 2): Feedback Input. Connect resistor divider tap to this pin. The output voltage can be adjusted from 1.6V to 5.25V by: ⎛ R2⎞ VOUT = 1.20V • ⎜1+ ⎟ ⎝ R1⎠ PGOOD (Pin 3): Power Good Comparator Output. This open-drain output is low when VFB < 10% from its regulation voltage. VOUT (Pin 4): Output Voltage Sense and Drain Connection of the Internal Synchronous Rectifier. PCB trace length from VOUT to the output filter capacitor (4.7μF minimum) should be as short and wide as possible. SW (Pin 5): Switch Pin. Connect inductor between SW and VIN. Keep PCB trace lengths as short and wide as possible to reduce EMI. If the inductor current falls to zero, or SHDN is low, an internal anti-ringing switch is connected from SW to VIN to minimize EMI. PGND (Pin 6): Power Ground. Provide a short direct PCB path between PGND and the (–) side of the input and output capacitors. SGND (Pin 7): Signal Ground. Provide a short direct PCB path between SGND and the (–) side of the input and output capacitors. VIN (Pin 8): Battery Input Voltage. Connect a minimum of 1μF ceramic decoupling capacitor from this pin to ground. Exposed Pad (Pin 9): The Exposed Pad must be soldered to the PCB ground plane. It serves as another ground connection and as a means of conducting heat away from the die. 35282f 7 LTC3528-2 BLOCK DIAGRAM VIN 0.7V TO 5V L1 2.2μH CIN 4.7μF 8 VIN ANTI-RING VOUT VSEL VBEST VB 5 SW WELL SWITCH VOUT 4 VOUT 1.6V TO 5.25V R2 1 SHDN 4M SHUTDOWN SHUTDOWN GATE DRIVERS AND ANTI-CROSS CONDUCTION –+ PK COMP SLOPE COMP FB IZERO COMP 2 R1 COUT 10μF UVLO UVLO PK IZERO START-UP LOGIC 2MHz OSC 3 PGOOD CLK MODE CONTROL BURST CLAMP + – VREF – 10% FB THERMAL SHUTDOWN TSD WAKE EXPOSED PAD 9 35282 BD PGND 6 SGND 7 8 + – VREF VREF ERROR AMP SLEEP COMP + – VREF FB SOFT-START 35282f LTC3528-2 OPERATION (Refer to Block Diagram) The LTC3528-2 is a 2MHz synchronous boost converter housed in an 8-lead 3mm × 2mm DFN package. With the ability to start up and operate from inputs less than 0.88V, the device features fixed frequency, current mode PWM control for exceptional line and load regulation. The current mode architecture with adaptive slope compensation provides excellent transient load response and requires minimal output filtering. Internal soft-start and internal loop compensation simplifies the design process while minimizing the number of external components. With its low RDS(ON) and low gate charge internal N-channel MOSFET switch and P-channel MOSFET synchronous rectifier, the LTC3528-2 achieves high efficiency over a wide range of load current. The LTC3528-2 features continuous 2MHz PWM operation over a wide range of load current. At very light loads, the LTC3528-2 will enter Burst Mode operation to maintain high efficiency. Operation can be best understood by referring to the Block Diagram. LOW VOLTAGE START-UP The LTC3528-2 includes an independent start-up oscillator designed to operate at an input voltage of 0.70V (typical). Soft-start and inrush current limiting are provided during start-up, as well as normal operating mode. When either VIN or VOUT exceeds 1.6V typical, the IC enters normal operating mode. Once the output voltage exceeds the input by 0.24V, the IC powers itself from VOUT instead of VIN. At this point the internal circuitry has no dependency on the VIN input voltage, eliminating the requirement for a large input capacitor. The input voltage can drop as low as 0.5V. The limiting factor for the application becomes the availability of the power source to supply sufficient power to the output at the low voltages, and the maximum duty cycle, which is clamped at 92% typical. Note that at low input voltages, small voltage drops due to series resistance become critical, and greatly limit the power delivery capability of the converter. LOW NOISE FIXED FREQUENCY OPERATION Soft-Start The LTC3528-2 contains internal circuitry to provide softstart operation. The internal soft-start circuitry slowly ramps the peak inductor current from zero to its peak value of 1.5A (typical), allowing start-up into heavy loads. The soft-start time is approximately 0.5ms. The soft-start circuitry is reset in the event of a commanded shutdown or a thermal shutdown. Oscillator An internal oscillator sets the frequency of operation to 2MHz. Shutdown The converter is shut down by pulling the SHDN pin below 0.25V, and activated by pulling SHDN above 0.88V. Note that SHDN can be driven above VIN or VOUT, as long as it is limited to less than the absolute maximum rating. Error Amplifier The error amplifier is a transconductance type. The noninverting input is internally connected to the 1.20V reference and the inverting input is connected to FB. Clamps limit the minimum and maximum error amp output voltage for improved large-signal transient response. Power converter control loop compensation is provided internally. A voltage divider from VOUT to ground programs the output voltage via FB from 1.6V to 5.25V. ⎛ R2⎞ VOUT = 1.20V • ⎜1+ ⎟ ⎝ R1⎠ Current Sensing Lossless current sensing converts the peak current signal of the N-channel MOSFET switch into a voltage which is summed with the internal slope compensation. The summed signal is compared to the error amplifier output to provide a peak current control command for the PWM. Current Limit The current limit comparator shuts off the N-channel MOSFET switch once its threshold is reached. The current limit comparator delay to output is typically 60ns. Peak switch current is limited to approximately 1.5A, independent of input or output voltage, unless VOUT falls below 0.7V, in which case the current limit is cut in half. 35282f 9 LTC3528-2 OPERATION (Refer to Block Diagram) Zero Current Comparator The zero current comparator monitors the inductor current to the output and shuts off the synchronous rectifier when this current reduces to approximately 20mA. This prevents the inductor current from reversing in polarity, improving efficiency at light loads. Synchronous Rectifier To control inrush current and to prevent the inductor current from running away when VOUT is close to VIN, the P-channel MOSFET synchronous rectifier is only enabled when VOUT > (VIN + 0.24V). Anti-Ringing Control The anti-ringing control connects a resistor across the inductor to prevent high frequency ringing on the SW pin during discontinuous current mode operation. The ringing of the resonant circuit formed by L and CSW (capacitance on SW pin) is low energy, but can cause EMI radiation. Output Disconnect The LTC3528-2 is designed to allow true output disconnect by eliminating body diode conduction of the internal P-channel MOSFET rectifier. This allows for VOUT to go to zero volts during shutdown, drawing no current from the input source. It also enables inrush current limiting at turnon, minimizing surge currents seen by the input supply. Note that to obtain the advantages of output disconnect, a Schottky diode cannot be connected between SW and VOUT. The output disconnect feature also allows VOUT to be forced above the programmed regulation voltage, without any reverse current into the input power source. Thermal Shutdown If the die temperature exceeds 160°C, the LTC3528-2 enters thermal shutdown. All switches will be turned off and the soft-start capacitor will be discharged. The device will be enabled again when the die temperature drops by approximately 15°C. Burst Mode OPERATION The LTC3528-2 will automatically enter Burst Mode operation at light load current and return to fixed frequency PWM mode when the load increases. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics to see the output load Burst Mode threshold vs VIN. The load at which Burst Mode operation is entered can be changed by adjusting the inductor value. Raising the inductor value will lower the load current at which Burst Mode operation is entered. In Burst Mode operation, the LTC3528-2 continues switching at a fixed frequency of 2MHz, using the same error amplifier and loop compensation for peak current mode control. This control method minimizes output transients when switching between modes. In Burst Mode operation, energy is delivered to the output until it reaches the nominal regulated value, then the LTC3528-2 transitions to sleep mode where the outputs are off and the LTC3528-2 consumes only 12μA of quiescent current from VOUT. Once the output voltage has drooped slightly, switching resumes again. This maximizes efficiency at very light loads by minimizing switching and quiescent current losses. Burst Mode output ripple, which is typically 1% peak-to-peak, can be reduced by using more output capacitance (10μF or greater). As the load current increases, the LTC3528-2 automatically leaves Burst Mode operation. Note that larger output capacitor values may cause this transition to occur at lighter loads. The regulator will also leave Burst Mode operation if a load transient occurs which causes the inductor current to repeatedly reach current limit. Once the LTC3528-2 has left Burst Mode operation and returned to normal operation, it will remain there until the output load is reduced below the Burst threshold. Burst Mode operation is inhibited during start-up and until soft-start is done and VOUT is at least 0.24V greater than VIN. Single Cell to 5V Step-Up Applications Due to the high inductor current slew rate in applications boosting to 5V from a single cell (alkaline, NiCd or NiMH), the LTC3528-2 may not enter Burst Mode operation at input voltages below 1.5V. For single cell to 5V applications requiring Burst Mode operation, the 1MHz LTC3528 is recommended. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics for the Burst Mode thresholds for different input and output voltages. 35282f 10 LTC3528-2 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION VIN > VOUT OPERATION The LTC3528-2 maintains voltage regulation even when the input voltage is above the desired output voltage. Note that the efficiency is much lower in this mode, and the maximum output current capability will be less. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics. SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION The LTC3528-2 output disconnect feature allows an output short circuit while maintaining a maximum internally set current limit. To reduce power dissipation under shortcircuit conditions, the peak switch current limit is reduced to 750mA (typical). SCHOTTKY DIODE Although not required, adding a Schottky diode from SW to VOUT will improve efficiency by about 2%. Note that this defeats the output disconnect and short-circuit protection features. PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES The high speed operation of the LTC3528-2 demands careful attention to board layout. A careless layout will not produce the advertised performance. Figure 1 shows + VIN CIN the recommended component placement. A large ground copper area with the package backside metal pad properly soldered will help to lower the chip temperature. A multilayer board with a separate ground plane is ideal, but not absolutely necessary. COMPONENT SELECTION Inductor Selection The LTC3528-2 can utilize small surface mount chip inductors due to its fast 2MHz switching frequency. Inductor values between 1.5μH and 3.3μH are suitable for most applications. Larger values of inductance will allow slightly greater output current capability by reducing the inductor ripple current. Increasing the inductance above 10μH will increase size while providing little improvement in output current capability. The minimum inductance value is given by: L> where: Ripple = Allowable inductor current ripple (amps peakpeak) VIN(MIN) = Minimum input voltage VOUT(MAX) = Maximum output voltage The inductor current ripple is typically set for 20% to 40% of the maximum inductor current. High frequency ferrite core inductor materials reduce frequency dependent power losses compared to cheaper powdered iron types, improving efficiency. The inductor should have low ESR (series resistance of the windings) to reduce the I2R power losses, and must be able to handle the peak inductor current without saturating. Molded chokes and some chip inductors usually do not have enough core area to support the peak inductor currents of 1.5A seen on the LTC3528-2. To minimize radiated noise, use a shielded inductor.

Although ceramic capacitors are recommended, low ESR tantalum capacitors may be used as well. A small ceramic capacitor in parallel with a larger tantalum capacitor may be used in demanding applications which have large load transients. Another method of improving the transient response is to add a small feed-forward capacitor across the top resistor of the feedback divider (from VOUT to FB). A typical value of 68pF will generally suffice. Low ESR input capacitors reduce input switching noise and reduce the peak current drawn from the battery. It follows that ceramic capacitors are also a good choice for input decoupling and should be located as close as possible to the device. A 10μF input capacitor is sufficient for most applications. Larger values may be used without limitations. Table 2 shows a list of several ceramic capacitor manufacturers. Consult the manufacturers directly for detailed information on their selection of ceramic parts. Table 2.

Multilayer ceramic capacitors are an excellent choice as they have extremely low ESR and are available in small footprints. A 10μF to 22μF output capacitor is sufficient for most applications. Values larger than 22μF may be used to obtain extremely low output voltage ripple and improve transient response. X5R and X7R dielectric materials are preferred for their ability to maintain capacitance over wide voltage and temperature ranges. Y5V types should not be used.
