A switching frequency of 500kHz minimizes overall solution footprint by allowing the use of tiny, low profile
inductors and ceramic capacitors. Current mode PWM
control with internal compensation reduces external parts
count thereby saving critical board real estate. The LTC3429
shifts automatically to power saving Burst Mode operation
at light loads while the LTC3429B features continuous
switching at light loads. Antiringing control circuitry reduces EMI concerns by damping the inductor in discontinuous mode.

Output capacitor can be completely discharged through
the load or feedback resistors. A 150Ω resistor is
internally connected between SW and VIN.
SW (Pin 1): Switch Pin. Connect inductor between SW
and VIN. Keep these PCB trace lengths as short and wide
as possible to reduce EMI and voltage overshoot. If the
inductor current falls to zero, or SHDN is low, an internal
150Ω antiringing switch is connected from SW to VIN to
minimize EMI.
VOUT (Pin 5): Output Voltage Sense Input and Drain of the
Internal Synchronous Rectifier MOSFET. Bias is derived
from VOUT. PCB trace length from VOUT to the output filter
capacitor(s) should be as short and wide as possible. VOUT
is completely disconnected from VIN when SHDN is low
due to the output disconnect feature.
GND (Pin 2): Signal and Power Ground. Provide a short
direct PCB path between GND and the (–) side of the output
capacitor(s).
FB (Pin 3): Feedback Input to the gm Error Amplifier.
Connect resistor divider tap to this pin. The output voltage
can be adjusted from 2.5V to 5V by:
VIN (Pin 6): Battery Input Voltage. The device gets its
start-up bias from VIN. Once VOUT exceeds VIN, bias
comes from VOUT. Thus, once started, operation is completely independent from VIN. Operation is only limited by
the output power level and the battery’s internal series
resistance.

LTC3429/LTC3429B
U
OPERATIO
The LTC3429/LTC3429B are 500kHz, synchronous boost
converters housed in a 6-lead SOT-23 package. Able to
operate from an input voltage below 1V, the device features fixed frequency, current mode PWM control for
exceptional line and load regulation. Low RDS(ON) internal
MOSFET switches enable the device to maintain high
efficiency over a wide range of load current. Detailed
descriptions of the different operating modes follow.
Operation can be best understood by referring to the Block
Diagram.
LOW VOLTAGE START-UP
The LTC3429/LTC3429B include an independent start-up
oscillator designed to start up at input voltages of 0.85V
typically. The frequency and duty cycle of the start-up
oscillator are internally set to 150kHz and 67% respectively. In this mode, the IC operates completely open-loop
and the current limit is also set internally to 850mA. Once
the output voltage exceeds 2.3V, the start-up circuitry is
disabled and normal close-loop PWM operation is initiated. In normal mode, the LTC3429/LTC3429B power
themselves from VOUT instead of VIN. This allows the
battery voltage to drop to as low as 0.5V without affecting
the circuit operation. The only limiting factor in the application becomes the ability of the battery to supply sufficient energy to the output. Soft-start and inrush current
limiting are provided during start-up as well as normal
mode operation.
Soft-Start
The LTC3429/LTC3429B provide soft-start by charging an
internal capacitor with a very weak current source. The
voltage on this capacitor, in turn, slowly ramps the peak
inductor current from zero to a maximum value of 850mA.
The soft-start time is typically 2.5ms, the time it takes to
charge the capacitor from zero to 1.35V. However, this
time varies greatly with load current, output voltage and
input voltage (see Typical Performance Characteristics,
Inrush Current Control and Soft-Start). The soft-start
capacitor is discharged completely in the event of a
commanded shutdown or a thermal shutdown. It is discharged only partially in case of a short circuit at the
output.
LOW NOISE FIXED FREQUENCY OPERATION
Oscillator
The frequency of operation is internally set to 500kHz.
Error Amp
The error amplifier is an internally compensated transconductance type (current output) with a transconductance
(gm) = 33 microsiemens. The internal 1.23V reference
voltage is compared to the voltage at the FB pin to generate
an error signal at the output of the error amplifier. A voltage divider from VOUT to ground programs the output
voltage via FB from 2.5V to 5V using the equation:
VOUT = 1.23V • [1 + (R1/R2)]
Current Sensing
Lossless current sensing converts the NMOS switch
current signal to a voltage to be 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. Peak switch current is
limited to approximately 850mA independent of input or
output voltage. The switch current signal is blanked for
60ns to enhance noise rejection.
Zero Current Comparator
The zero current comparator monitors the inductor current to the output and shuts off the synchronous rectifier
once this current reduces to approximately 27mA. This
prevents the inductor current from reversing in polarity
thereby improving efficiency at light loads.
Antiringing Control
The antiringing control circuitry prevents high frequency
ringing of the SW pin as the inductor current goes to zero
in discontinuous mode. The damping of the resonant
circuit formed by L and CSW (capacitance on SW pin) is
achieved by placing a 150Ω resistor across the inductor.
Synchronous Rectifier
To prevent the inductor current from running away, the
PMOS synchronous rectifier is only enabled when VOUT >
(VIN + 0.1V) and the FB pin is >0.8V.

LTC3429/LTC3429B
U
OPERATIO
Thermal Shutdown
An internal temperature monitor will start to reduce the
peak current limit if the die temperature exceeds 125°C. If
the die temperature continues to rise and reaches 160°C,
the part will go into thermal shutdown, all switches will be
turned off and the soft-start capacitor will be reset. The
part will be enabled again when the die temperature drops
by about 15°C.
Burst Mode OPERATION (LTC3429 Only)
Portable devices frequently spend extended time in low
power or standby mode, only switching to high power
consumption when specific functions are enabled. To
improve battery life in these types of products, it is
important to maintain a high power conversion efficiency
over a wide output power range. The LTC3429 provides
automatic Burst Mode operation to increase efficiency of
the power converter at light loads. Burst Mode operation
is initiated if the output load current falls below an internally programmed threshold. This threshold has an inverse dependence on the duty cycle of the converter and
also the value of the external inductor (See Typical Performance Characteristics, Output Current Burst Mode Threshold vs VIN). Once Burst Mode operation is initiated, only
the circuitry required to monitor the output is kept alive
and the rest of the device is turned off. This is referred to
as the sleep state in which the IC consumes only 20µA
from the output capacitor. When the output voltage droops
by about 1% from its nominal value, the part wakes up and
commences normal PWM operation. The output capacitor
recharges and causes the part to re-enter the sleep state
if the output load remains less than the Burst Mode
threshold. The frequency of this intermittent PWM or
burst operation depends on the load current; that is, as the
load current drops further below the burst threshold, the
LTC3429 turns on less frequently. When the load current
increases above the burst threshold, the LTC3429
seamlessly resumes continuous PWM operation. Thus,
Burst Mode operation maximizes the efficiency at very
light loads by minimizing switching and quiescent losses.
However, the output ripple typically increases to about 2%
peak-to-peak. Burst Mode ripple can be reduced, in some
circumstances, by placing a small phase-lead capacitor
(CPL) between VOUT and FB pins (refer to the Block
Diagram). However, this may adversely affect the efficiency and the quiescent current requirement at light
loads. Typical values of CPL range from 15pF to 220pF.
OUTPUT DISCONNECT AND INRUSH LIMITING
The LTC3429/LTC3429B are designed to allow true output
disconnect by eliminating body diode conduction of the
internal PMOS rectifier. This allows VOUT to go to zero
volts during shutdown, drawing zero current from the
input source. It also allows for inrush current limiting at
start-up, minimizing surge currents seen by the input
supply. Note that to obtain the advantage of output disconnect, there must not be an external Schottky diode connected between the SWITCH pin and VOUT.
Board layout is extremely critical to minimize voltage
overshoot on the SWITCH pin due to stray inductance.
Keep the output filter capacitor as close as possible to the
VOUT pin and use very low ESR/ESL ceramic capacitors
tied to a good ground plane. For applications with VOUT
over 4.3V, a Schottky diode is required to limit the peak
SWITCH voltage to less than 6V unless some form of
external snubbing is employed. This diode must also be
placed very close to the pins to minimize stray inductance.
See the Applications Information.
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Unlike most boost converters, the LTC3429/LTC3429B
allow their output to be short circuited due to the output disconnect feature. The devices incorporate internal features
such as current limit foldback, thermal regulation and thermal shutdown for protection from an excessive overload
or short circuit. In the event of a short circuit, the internal
soft-start capacitor gets partially discharged. This, in turn,
causes the maximum current limit to foldback to a smaller
value. In addition to this, a thermal regulation circuit starts
to dial back the current limit farther if the die temperature
rises above 125°C. If the die temperature still reaches
160°C, the device shuts off entirely.
VIN > VOUT OPERATION
The LTC3429/LTC3429B will maintain voltage regulation
even if the input voltage is above the output voltage. This

OPERATIO
is achieved by terminating the switching of the synchronous PMOS and applying VIN statically on its gate. This
ensures that the slope of the inductor current will reverse
during the time current is flowing to the output. Since the
PMOS no longer acts as a low impedance switch in this
mode, there will be more power dissipation within the IC.
This will cause a sharp drop in the efficiency (see Typical
Performance Characteristics, Efficiency vs VIN). The maximum output current should be limited in order to maintain
an acceptable junction temperature.

PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
The high speed operation of the LTC3429/LTC3429B
demands careful attention to board layout. You will not get
advertised performance with careless layout. Figure 2
shows the recommended component placement. A large
ground pin copper area will help to lower the chip temperature. A multilayer board with a separate ground plane is
ideal, but not absolutely necessary.
inductor ripple current. Increasing the inductance above
10µH will increase size while providing little improvement
in output current capability.
The approximate output current capability of the LTC3429
versus inductance value is given in the equation below and
illustrated graphically in Figure 3.

COMPONENT SELECTION
Inductor Selection
The LTC3429/LTC3429B can utilize small surface mount
and chip inductors due to its fast 500kHz switching
frequency. Typically, a 4.7µH inductor is recommended
for most applications. Larger values of inductance will
allow greater output current capability by reducing the

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
The inductor current ripple is typically set for 20% to 40%
of the maximum inductor current (IP). 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 to
support the peak inductor currents of 850mA seen on the
LTC3429/LTC3429B. To minimize radiated noise, use a
toroid, pot core or shielded bobbin inductor. See Table 1
for some suggested components and suppliers.
Output and Input Capacitor Selection
Table 1. Recommended Inductors
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
virtually any application. 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 entire selection of
ceramic capacitors.

Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) capacitors should
be used to minimize the output voltage ripple. Multilayer
ceramic capacitors are an excellent choice as they have
extremely low ESR and are available in small footprints. A
4.7µF to 15µF output capacitor is sufficient for most
applications. Larger values up to 22µF may be used to
obtain extremely low output voltage ripple and improve
transient response. An additional phase lead capacitor
may be required with output capacitors larger than 10µF
to maintain acceptable phase margin. X5R and X7R
dielectric materials are preferred for their ability to maintain capacitance over wide voltage and temperature ranges.

improvement but will negate the output disconnect feature. If output disconnect is required, an active snubber
network is suggested as shown below. Examples of Schottky diodes are: MBR0520L, PMEG2010EA, 1N5817 or
equivalent.
When the output voltage is programmed above 4.3V, it is
necessary to add a Schottky diode either from SW to VOUT,
or to add a snubber network in order to maintain an
acceptable peak voltage on the SW pin. The Schottky diode
between SW and VOUT will provide a peak efficiency
