Pin Functions
BOOST: The BOOST pin is used to provide a drive voltage,
higher than the input voltage, to the internal power switch.
The BOOST pin is also internally connected to the cathode
of the BOOST diode.
RUN: The Run pin is used to put the LT3663 into shutdown
mode. Tie to ground to shut down the LT3663. Tie to 2.5V
or more for normal operation. If the shutdown feature is
not used, connect this pin to VIN.
GND (Exposed Pad Pin 9) : Ground. The exposed pad
must be soldered to the PCB and electrically connected
to ground. Use a large ground plane and thermal vias to
optimize thermal performance.
SW: The SW pin is the output of the internal power switch.
Connect this pin to the inductor, catch diode and boost
capacitor.
FB (LT3663): The LT3663 regulates the FB pin to 0.8V.
Connect the feedback resistor divider tap to this pin.
VIN: The VIN pin supplies current to the LT3663’s internal
regulator and internal power switch. Capacitively bypass
the pin to ground.
ILIM: Output Current Limit Program Pin. Connect a resistor
to ground to program the regulator output current limit.
VOUT: The VOUT pin is connected to the negative terminal
of the internal output current limit sense resistor.
ISENSE: The ISENSE pin is the positive input to the internal
output current limit sense resistor. The ISENSE pin is also
the anode to the internal BOOST diode.
VOUTS (LT3663-X): Output Voltage Sense Pin. Connect to
the positive terminal of the output capacitor.

LT3663
Operation
(Refer to Block Diagram)
The LT3663 is a constant frequency, current mode step
down regulator. A switch cycle is initiated when the oscillator enables the RS flip flop, turning on the internal
power switch, Q1. The sense amplifier (A1) monitors the
switch current via the voltage dropped across the current
sense resistor RSENSE1. The comparator compares the
amplified current signal with the output (VC) of the error
amplifier (G1). The switch is turned off when this current
exceeds a value determined by the VC voltage. The error
amplifier monitors the VOUT voltage through an internal
resistor divider and, when not driven externally, servos
the VC voltage to regulate VOUT. If the VOUT voltage drops,
the VC voltage will be driven higher increasing the output
current and VOUT voltage. An active clamp (not shown)
on the VC node provides current limit. The LT3663 is
internally compensated with a pole-zero combination on
the VC node.
An external capacitor and internal diode, D2, 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. The switch driver
operates from either VIN or BOOST to ensure startup.
An internal regulator provides power to the control circuitry.
This regulator includes input undervoltage and overvoltage
protection which disables switching action when VIN is
out of range. When switching is disabled, the LT3663
safely sustains input voltages up to 60V. Note that while
switching is disabled the output will discharge.
Output current limiting is provided via the servo action of
amplifier G2. The voltage across sense resistor, RSENSE2,
is compared to a voltage programmed by external resistor
RILIM on the ILIM pin. A capacitor averages the inductor
ripple current. If the average inductor current exceeds the
programmed value then the VC voltage is pulled low, reducing the current in the regulator. The output current limit
circuit allows for a lower current rated inductor and diode
and provides better control of system power dissipation.

Applications Information
FB Resistor Network
The output voltage of the LT3663 is programmed with a
resistor divider. Choose the 1% resistors according to:
Figure 2. illustrates switching waveforms in pulse skip
mode a 3.3V output application with VIN = 30V.
R1 = R2 (VOUT/0.8 – 1)
Reference designators refer to the Block Diagram.
The resistor divider is internal on the fixed output voltage
versions, LT3663-X.
IL
1A/DIV
Minimum Duty Cycle
As the input voltage increases the duty cycle decreases. At
some point, the minimum duty cycle of the IC is reached
and pulse skipping begins. The output voltage continues to
regulate but the output voltage ripple increases. The input
voltage at which this occurs is calculated as follows:
VIN =
( VOUT + VF ) – V

VOUT

3663 F02
Figure 2. Pulse-Skip Mode
Inductor Selection
F + VSW
A good first choice for the inductor value is:
Where VF is the forward voltage drop of the catch diode,
D1, and VSW is the voltage drop on the internal switch,
Q1. LT3663 DCMIN is typically 0.12.
For VF = 0.4V, VSW = 0.3V, and VOUT = 3.3V pulse skipping
occurs at about 24.5V.
Figure 1 illustrates switching waveforms in normal mode
for a 3.3V output application with VIN = 20V.
VSW
20V/DIV
IL
1A/DIV
VOUT
200mV/DIV
AC-COUPLED
2.5µs/DIV
L = VOUT + VD (µH)
where VD is the voltage drop of the catch diode (~0.4V)
and L is in µH. With this value there is no sub-harmonic
oscillation for applications with 50% or greater duty
cycle. The inductor’s RMS current rating must be greater
than the maximum load current. Size the inductor so the
saturation current rating is about 30% higher than the
maximum load current. The output current limit circuit
tightly controls the maximum average inductor current,
therefore the inductor RMS current rating does not have
to be overrated to handle short circuit or overload conditions. For high efficiency, keep the series resistance (DCR)
less than 0.1Ω. A higher value inductor is larger in size
and slows transient response but reduces output voltage
ripple. A lower value inductor has higher ripple currents
but is physically smaller or, for the same size, it has lower
DCR typically resulting in higher efficiency.

Applications Information
Catch Diode
The catch diode conducts current only during switch-off
time. Average forward current in normal operation is
calculated from:
ID( AVG) = IOUT
VIN – VOUT
VIN
where IOUT is the maximum output load current programmed by the ILIM resistor. Peak reverse voltage is equal
to the regulator input voltage. Use a Schottky diode with a
reverse voltage rating greater than the input voltage. The
overvoltage protection feature in the LT3663 keeps the
switch off when VIN > 39V (typical) allowing the use of a
45V rated Schottky even when VIN ranges up to 60V.
Input Capacitor
Bypass the input of the LT3663 circuit with a 1µF or higher
value ceramic capacitor of X7R or X5R type. Y5V types
have poor performance over temperature and applied voltage and are not recommended. 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 LT3663 and
to force this very high frequency switching current into
a tight local loop, minimizing EMI. Place the capacitor in
close proximity to the LT3663 and the catch diode; (see
the PCB Layout section).
Use X5R or X7R types and keep in mind that a ceramic
capacitor biased with VOUT has less than its specified
nominal capacitance.
High performance electrolytic capacitors can be used for
the output capacitor. Low ESR is important, so choose
one that is intended for use in switching regulators. Keep
the ESR less than 0.1Ω.
ILIM Resistor
The LT3663 output current limit controls the maximum
current delivered from the LT3663 regulator. This allows
tighter control of the system power dissipation and also
protects the inductor and diode from overheating during
an overload or short circuit condition. A resistor connected from ILIM pin to GND programs the output current.
Table 1 details the ILIM resistor values for specific output
current limits.

There may be a reason in some applications to move the
output current limit. The following simple circuit demonstrates how the output current limit can be adjusted:

Output Capacitor
A 10µF or greater ceramic capacitor is recommended to
provide low output ripple and good transient response.
Ceramic capacitors have very low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and provide the best ripple performance.

BOOST and BIAS Pin Considerations
boost diode. For reliable BOOST pin operation with 2.5V
outputs use a good external Schottky diode (such as the
ON Semi, MBR0540) and a 1µF boost capacitor (see Figure
4b). For lower output voltages connect an external Schottky
diode to the input (Figure 4c), or to another supply greater
than 2.8V. Using VIN reduces the maximum input voltage
to 25V. The circuit in Figure 4a is more efficient because
the BOOST pin current comes from a lower voltage source.
Take care to ensure that the maximum voltage ratings of
the BOOST pin is not exceeded.

Diagram) are used to generate a boost voltage that is higher
than the input voltage. In most cases a 0.1µF capacitor
works well. Figure 4 shows three ways to arrange the boost
circuit. The BOOST pin must be more than 2.3V above the
SW pin for best efficiency. For outputs of 3V and above, the
standard circuit (Figure 4a) is best. For outputs between
2.8V and 3V, use a 1µF boost capacitor. A 2.5V output
presents a special case because it is marginally adequate
to support the boosted drive stage while using the internal

Applications Information
PCB Layout
Proper operation and minimum EMI, requires careful
printed circuit board layout. Figure 5 shows the recommended component placement with trace, ground plane
and via locations. Note that large, switched currents flow
in the LT3663’s VIN and SW pins, the catch diode (D2)
and the input capacitor (C1). Keep the loop formed by
these components as small as possible and tied to system
ground in only one place. Locate these components, along
with the inductor and output capacitor, on the same side
of the circuit board, and keep their connections on that
layer. Place a local, unbroken ground plane below these
components, and tie this ground plane to system ground
at one location, ideally at the ground terminal of the output
capacitor C1. Make the SW and BOOST PCB trace as short
as possible. Include vias near the exposed GND pad of
the LT3663 to help remove heat from the LT3663 to the
ground plane.
High Temperature Considerations
The die temperature of the LT3663 must not exceed the
maximum rating. This is generally not a concern unless
VIN
the ambient temperature is above 85°C. For higher temperatures, take care in the layout of the circuit to ensure
good heat sinking of the LT3663. De-rate the maximum
load current as the ambient temperature approaches the
maximum temperature rating. Calculate the die temperature by multiplying the LT3663 power dissipation by the
thermal resistance from junction to ambient. Estimate
the power dissipation within the LT3663 by calculating
the total power loss from an efficiency measurement
and subtracting the catch diode loss. Thermal resistance
depends on the layout of the circuit board, but 64°C/W is
typical for the (2mm × 3mm) DFN (DCB) package.
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. Design Note 100
shows how to generate a bipolar output supply using a
Buck regulator.
