The LT®3467/LT3467A switching regulators combine a
42V, 1.1A switch with a soft-start function. Pin compatible
with the LT1930, its low VCESAT bipolar switch enables the
device to deliver high current outputs in a small footprint.
The LT3467 switches at 1.3MHz, allowing the use of tiny,
low cost and low height inductors and capacitors. The
LT3467A switches at 2.1MHz, allowing the use of even
smaller components. High inrush current at start-up is
eliminated using the programmable soft-start function.
A single external capacitor sets the current ramp rate. A
constant frequency current mode PWM architecture results
in low, predictable output noise that is easy to filter.

LT3467/LT3467A
OPERATION
The LT3467 uses a constant frequency, current-mode control scheme to provide excellent line and load regulation.
Refer to the Block Diagram. At the start of each oscillator
cycle, the SR latch is set which turns on the power switch
Q1. A voltage proportional to the switch current is added
to a stabilizing ramp and the resulting sum is fed into the
positive terminal of the PWM comparator A2. When this
voltage exceeds the level at the negative input of A2, the
SR latch is reset, turning off the power switch. The level
at the negative input of A2 is set by the error amplifier A1,
and is simply an amplified version of the difference between
the feedback voltage and the reference voltage of 1.255V.
In this manner, the error amplifier sets the correct peak
current level to keep the output in regulation. If the error
amplifier’s output increases, more current is delivered to
the output. Similarly, if the error decreases, less current
is delivered. The soft-start feature of the LT3467 allows
for clean start-up conditions by limiting the rate of voltage
rise at the output of comparator A1 which, in turn, limits
the peak switch current. The soft-start pin is connected
to a reference voltage of 1.255V through a 250k resistor,
providing 4μA of current to charge the soft-start capacitor.
Typical values for the soft-start capacitor range from 10nF
to 200nF. The LT3467 has a current limit circuit not shown
in the Block Diagram. The switch current is constantly
monitored and not allowed to exceed the maximum switch
current (typically 1.4A). If the switch current reaches
this value, the SR latch is reset regardless of the state
of comparator A2. This current limit protects the power
switch as well as the external components connected to
the LT3467.
The Block Diagram for the LT3467A (not shown) is identical
except that the oscillator frequency is 2.1MHz.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Duty Cycle
Switching Frequency and Inductor Selection
The typical maximum duty cycle of the LT3467 is 94%
(88% for the LT3467A). The duty cycle for a given application is given by:
The LT3467 switches at 1.3 MHz, allowing for small valued
inductors to be used. 4.7μH or 10μH will usually suffice.
The LT3467A switches at 2.1MHz, allowing for even smaller
valued inductors to be used. 0.9μH to 6.8μH will usually
suffice. Choose an inductor that can handle at least 1.2A
without saturating, and ensure that the inductor has a
low DCR (copper-wire resistance) to minimize I2R power
losses. Note that in some applications, the current handling
requirements of the inductor can be lower, such as in the
SEPIC topology where each inductor only carries one-half
of the total switch current. For better efficiency, use similar
valued inductors with a larger volume. Many different sizes
and shapes are available from various manufacturers.
Choose a core material that has low losses at 1.3MHz,
(2.1MHz for the LT3467A) such as ferrite core.
DC =
| VOUT | +| VD | – | VIN |
| VOUT | +| VD | – | VCESAT |
where VD is the diode forward voltage drop and VCESAT is
in the worst case 330mV (at 1.1A)
The LT3467 and LT3467A can be used at higher duty cycles,
but must be operated in the discontinuous conduction
mode so that the actual duty cycle is reduced.
Setting Output Voltage
R1 and R2 determine the output voltage.

Supply Current of Figure 2 During Start-Up
Without Soft-Start Capacitor
VOUT
1V/DIV
Soft-Start
The soft-start feature provides a way to limit the inrush
current drawn from the supply upon start-up. An internal
250k resistor charges the external soft-start capacitor
to 1.255V. After the capacitor reaches 0.15V the rate of
voltage rise at the output of the comparator A1 tracks the
rate of voltage rise of the soft-start capacitor. This limits
the inrush current drawn from the supply during startup. The soft-start feature plays another important role in
applications where the switch will reach levels of 30V or
higher. During start-up, excessively high switch current,
together with the presence of high voltage can overstress
the switch. A properly used soft-start feature will keep the
switch current from overshooting. This practice will greatly
improve the robustness of such designs. Once the part is
shut down, the soft-start capacitor is quickly discharged
to 0.4V, then slowly discharged through the 250k resistor
to ground. If the part is to be shut down and re-enabled in
a short period of time while soft-start is used, you must
ensure that the soft-start capacitor has enough time to
discharge before re-enabling the part. Typical values of
the soft-start capacitor range from 10nF to 200nF.

LT3467/LT3467A
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Capacitor Selection
Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) capacitors should
be used at the output to minimize the output ripple voltage.
Multi-layer ceramic capacitors are an excellent choice,
as they have extremely low ESR and are available in very
small packages. X5R dielectrics are preferred, followed
by X7R, as these materials retain the capacitance over
wide voltage and temperature ranges. A 4.7μF to 15μF
output capacitor is sufficient for most applications, but
systems with very low output currents may need only a
1μF or 2.2μF output capacitor. Solid tantalum or OS-CON
capacitors can be used, but they will occupy more board
area than a ceramic and will have a higher ESR. Always
use a capacitor with a sufficient voltage rating.
Ceramic capacitors also make a good choice for the input
decoupling capacitor, which should be placed as close as
possible to the LT3467. A 1μF to 4.7μF input capacitor
is sufficient for most applications. Table 2 shows a list
of several ceramic capacitor manufacturers. Consult the
manufacturers for detailed information on their entire
selection of ceramic parts.

The decision to use either low ESR (ceramic) capacitors
or the higher ESR (tantalum or OS-CON) capacitors can
affect the stability of the overall system. The ESR of any
capacitor, along with the capacitance itself, contributes
a zero to the system. For the tantalum and OS-CON capacitors, this zero is located at a lower frequency due to
the higher value of the ESR, while the zero of a ceramic
capacitor is at a much higher frequency and can generally
be ignored.
A phase lead zero can be intentionally introduced by placing
a capacitor (C4) in parallel with the resistor (R1) between
VOUT and VFB as shown in Figure 2. The frequency of the
zero is determined by the following equation.
ƒZ =
1
2π • R1• C4
By choosing the appropriate values for the resistor and
capacitor, the zero frequency can be designed to improve
the phase margin of the overall converter. The typical
target value for the zero frequency is between 35kHz
to 55kHz. Figure 3 shows the transient response of the
step-up converter from Figure 8 without the phase lead
capacitor C4. Although adequate for many applications,
phase margin is not ideal as evidenced by 2-3 “bumps”
in both the output voltage and inductor current. A 22pF
capacitor for C4 results in ideal phase margin, which is
revealed in Figure 4 as a more damped response and less
overshoot.
Diode Selection
A Schottky diode is recommended for use with the LT3467
and the LT3467A. The Philips PMEG 2005 is a very good
choice. Where the switch voltage exceeds 20V, use the
PMEG 3005 (a 30V diode). Where the switch voltage
exceeds 30V, use the PMEG 4005 (a 40V diode). These
diodes are rated to handle an average forward current of
0.5A. In applications where the average forward current
of the diode exceeds 0.5A, a Philips PMEG 2010 rated at
1A is recommended. For higher efficiency, use a diode
with better thermal characteristics such as the On Semiconductor MBRM120 (a 20V diode) or the MBRM140 (a
40V diode).

The high speed operation of the LT3467/LT3467A demands
careful attention to board layout. You will not get advertised performance with careless layout. Figure 5a shows
the recommended component placement for the ThinSOT
package. Figure 5b shows the recommended component
placement for the DFN package. Note the vias under the
Exposed Pad. These should connect to a local ground
plane for better thermal performance.

LT3467/LT3467A
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Compensation—Theory
Like all other current mode switching regulators, the
LT3467/LT3467A needs to be compensated for stable
and efficient operation. Two feedback loops are used in
the LT3467/LT3467A: a fast current loop which does not
require compensation, and a slower voltage loop which
does. Standard Bode plot analysis can be used to understand and adjust the voltage feedback loop.
As with any feedback loop, identifying the gain and phase
contribution of the various elements in the loop is critical.
Figure 6 shows the key equivalent elements of a boost
converter. Because of the fast current control loop, the
power stage of the IC, inductor and diode have been replaced by the equivalent transconductance amplifier gmp.
gmp acts as a current source where the output current is
proportional to the VC voltage. Note that the maximum
output current of gmp is finite due to the current limit
in the IC.
From Figure 6, the DC gain, poles and zeroes can be
calculated as follows:
