DFN Package
The LTC®3442 is a highly efficient, fixed frequency, buckboost DC/DC converter, which operates from input voltages above, below, and equal to the output voltage. The
topology incorporated in the IC provides a continuous
transfer function through all operating modes, making the
product ideal for a single lithium-ion or multicell alkaline
applications where the output voltage is within the battery
voltage range.
The device includes two 0.10Ω N-channel MOSFET
switches and two 0.10Ω P-channel switches. Operating
frequency and average input current limit can each be
programmed with an external resistor. Quiescent current
is only 35µA in Burst Mode operation, maximizing battery
life in portable applications. Automatic Burst Mode operation allows the user to program the load current for Burst
Mode operation, or to control it manually.
Other features include 1µA shutdown current, programmable soft-start, peak current limit and thermal shutdown.
The LTC3442 is available in a low profile, thermally enhanced 12-lead (4mm × 3mm × 0.75mm) DFN package.

PIN FUNCTIONS
SHDN/SS (Pin 1): Combined Soft-Start and Shutdown.
Applied voltage <0.4V shuts down the IC. Tie to >1.4V to
enable the IC and >2.4V to ensure the error amp is not
clamped from soft-start. For Burst Mode operation, this
pin must be pulled up to within 0.5V of VIN. An RC network
from the shutdown command signal to this pin will provide
a soft-start function by limiting the rise time of the VC pin.
RT (Pin 2): Programs the Frequency of the Internal Oscillator. Place a resistor from this pin to ground. See the
Applications Information section for component value
selection.
SGND (Pin 3): Signal Ground for the IC.
SW1 (Pin 4): Switch Pin Where Internal Switches A and B
Are Connected. Connect inductor from SW1 to SW2. An
optional Schottky diode can be connected from SW1 to
ground for a moderate efficiency improvement. Minimize
trace length to reduce EMI.
BURST (Pin 7): Used to Set the Automatic Burst Mode Operation Threshold. Place a resistor and capacitor in parallel
from this pin to ground. See the Applications Information
section for component value selection. For manual control,
ground the pin to force Burst Mode operation, connect to
VOUT to force fixed frequency mode.
VOUT (Pin 8): Output of the Synchronous Rectifier. A filter
capacitor is placed from VOUT to GND. A ceramic bypass
capacitor is recommended as close to the VOUT and GND
pins as possible.
VIN (Pin 9): Input Supply Pin. Internal VCC for the IC. A
10µF ceramic capacitor is recommended as close to VIN
and SGND as possible.
RLIM (Pin 10): Sets the Average Input Current Limit
Threshold. Place a resistor and capacitor in parallel from
this pin to ground. See the Applications Information section for component value selection.
PGND (Pin 5, 13): Power Ground for the Internal NMOS
Power Switches. The exposed pad must be soldered to
PCB ground to provide both electrical contact and a good
thermal contact to the PCB.
VC (Pin 11): Error Amp Output. A frequency compensation
network is connected from this pin to FB to compensate
the loop. During Burst Mode operation, VC is internally
connected to a hold circuit.
SW2 (Pin 6): Switch Pin Where Internal Switches C
and D Are Connected. An optional Schottky diode can be
connected from SW2 to VOUT for a moderate efficiency
improvement. Minimize trace length to reduce EMI.
FB (Pin 12): Feedback Pin. Connect resistor divider tap
here. The output voltage can be adjusted from 2.4V to
5.25V. The feedback reference voltage is typically 1.22V.

LTC3442
OPERATION
The LTC3442 provides high efficiency, low noise power
for applications such as portable instrumentation. The
LTC proprietary topology allows input voltages above,
below or equal to the output voltage by properly phasing
the output switches. The error amp output voltage on VC
determines the output duty cycle of the switches. Since VC
is a filtered signal, it provides rejection of frequencies from
well below the switching frequency. The low RDS(ON), low
gate charge synchronous switches provide high frequency
pulse width modulation control at high efficiency. Schottky
diodes across the synchronous switch D and synchronous
switch B are not required, but provide a lower voltage
drop during the break-before-make time (typically 15ns).
Schottky diodes will improve peak efficiency by typically
1% to 2%. High efficiency is achieved at light loads when
Burst Mode operation is entered and the IC’s quiescent
current drops to a low 35µA.
LOW NOISE FIXED FREQUENCY OPERATION
Oscillator
The frequency of operation is programmed by an external
resistor from RT to ground, according to the following
equation:
f (kHz) =
43,300
RT(kΩ)
Error Amp
The error amplifier is a voltage mode amplifier. The loop
compensation components are configured around the
amplifier (from FB to VC) to obtain stability of the converter.
For improved bandwidth, an additional RC feedforward
network can be placed across the upper feedback divider
resistor. The voltage on SHDN/SS clamps the error amp
output, VC, to provide a soft-start function.
Internal Current Limit
There are three different current limit circuits in the
LTC3442. Two have internally fixed thresholds which vary
inversely with VIN, the third is externally programmable,
and does not vary with input voltage.
The first circuit is a high speed peak current limit amplifier
that will shut off switch A if the current exceeds 5A typical. The delay to output of this amplifier is typically 50ns.
A second amplifier will begin to source current into the FB
pin to drop the output voltage once the peak input current
exceeds 3A typical. This method provides a closed loop
means of clamping the input current. During conditions
where VOUT is near ground, such as during a short-circuit
or during startup, this threshold is cut in half, providing a
foldback feature. For this current limit feature to be most
effective, the Thevenin resistance from FB to ground should
be greater than 100kΩ.
Externally Programmable Current Limit
The third current limit circuit is programmed by an external
resistor on RLIM. This circuit works by mirroring the input
current in switch A, averaging it by means of the external
RC network on RLIM, and comparing the resulting voltage
with an internal reference. If the voltage on RLIM starts
to exceed 0.95V, a Gm amplifier will clamp VC, lowering
VOUT to maintain control of the input current. This allows
the user to program a maximum average input current, for
applications such as USB, where the current draw from the
bus must be limited to 500mA. The resistor and capacitor
values are determined by the following equations:

(2 • VIN – VOUT ) 
70 •  0.86 +

40

RLIM(kΩ) =
IIN(AMPS)
CLIM(µF) ≥
0.1
RLIM(kΩ)
The programmable current limit feature is disabled in
Burst Mode operation.

LTC3442
OPERATION
Reverse Current Limit
During fixed frequency operation, the LTC3442 operates
in forced continuous conduction mode. The reverse current limit amplifier monitors the inductor current from
the output through switch D. Once the negative inductor
current exceeds 500mA typical, the IC will shut off switch D.
Four-Switch Control
Figure 1 shows a simplified diagram of how the four internal switches are connected to the inductor, VIN, VOUT
and GND. Figure 2 shows the regions of operation for the
LTC3442 as a function of the internal control voltage, VCI.
Depending on the control voltage, the IC will operate in
either buck, buck/boost or boost mode. The VCI voltage
is a level shifted voltage from the output of the error amp
(VC) (see Figure 5). The four power switches are properly
phased so the transfer between operating modes is continuous, smooth and transparent to the user. When VIN
approaches VOUT the buck/boost region is reached where

this mode. When the internal control voltage, VCI, is
above voltage V1, output A begins to switch. During the
off-time of switch A, synchronous switch B turns on for
the remainder of the time. Switches A and B will alternate
similar to a typical synchronous buck regulator. As the
control voltage increases, the duty cycle of switch A
increases until the maximum duty cycle of the converter
in buck mode reaches DMAX_BUCK, given by:
DMAX_BUCK = 100 – D4SW %
where D4SW = duty cycle % of the four switch range.
D4SW = (150ns • f) • 100 %
where f = operating frequency, Hz.
Beyond this point the “four switch,” or buck/boost region
is reached.

the conduction time of the four switch region is typically
150ns. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the various regions
of operation will now be described.

Buck/Boost or Four Switch (VIN ~ VOUT)
When the internal control voltage, VCI, is above voltage
V2, switch pair AD remain on for duty cycle DMAX_BUCK,
and the switch pair AC begins to phase in. As switch pair
AC phases in, switch pair BD phases out accordingly.
When the VCI voltage reaches the edge of the buck/boost
range, at voltage V3, the AC switch pair completely phase
out the BD pair, and the boost phase begins at duty cycle
D4SW. The input voltage, VIN, where the four switch region
begins is given by:

OPERATION
Switch A is always on and switch B is always off during
this mode. When the internal control voltage, VCI, is above
voltage V3, switch pair CD will alternately switch to provide
a boosted output voltage. This operation is typical to a
synchronous boost regulator. The maximum duty cycle
of the converter is limited to 88% typical and is reached
when VCI is above V4.

BURST MODE OPERATION
Figure 4. Inductor Discharge Cycle During Burst Mode Operation
Burst Mode operation occurs when the IC delivers energy
to the output until it is regulated and then goes into a sleep
mode where the outputs are off and the IC is consuming
only 35µA of quiescent current from VIN. In this mode the
output ripple has a variable frequency component that
depends upon load current, and will typically be about
2% peak-to-peak. Burst Mode operation ripple can be
reduced slightly by using more output capacitance (47µF
or greater). Another method of reducing Burst Mode
operation ripple is to place a small feedforward capacitor
across the upper resistor in the VOUT feedback divider
network (as in Type III compensation).
because the part enters full-time 4-switch mode (when
servicing the output) with discontinuous inductor current as illustrated in Figures 3 and 4. During Burst Mode
operation, the control loop is nonlinear and cannot utilize
the control voltage from the error amp to determine the
control mode, therefore full-time 4-switch mode is required
to maintain the buck/boost function. The efficiency below
1mA becomes dominated primarily by the quiescent current. The Burst Mode operation efficiency is given by:
During the period where the device is delivering energy to
the output, the peak switch current will be equal to 900mA
typical and the inductor current will terminate at zero
current for each cycle. In this mode the typical maximum
average output current is given by:
where n is typically 82% during Burst Mode operation.

Automatic Burst Mode Operation Control
Burst Mode operation can be automatic or manually controlled with a single pin. In automatic mode, the IC will
enter Burst Mode operation at light load and return to fixed
frequency operation at heavier loads. The load current at
which the mode transition occurs is programmed using
a single external resistor from the BURST pin to ground,
according to the following equations:

OPERATION
For automatic operation, a filter capacitor should also
be connected from BURST to ground to prevent ripple
on BURST from causing the IC to oscillate in and out of
Burst Mode operation. The equation for the minimum
capacitor value is:
CBURST(MIN) ≥
COUT • VOUT
60,000
frequency mode, raising VOUT. Once regulation is achieved,
the IC will then enter Burst Mode operation once again,
and the cycle will repeat, resulting in about 4% output
ripple. Note that Burst Mode operation is inhibited during
soft-start.
Burst Mode Operation to Fixed Frequency Transient
Response
where CBURST(MIN) and COUT are in µF.
In the event that a load transient causes the feedback pin
to drop by more than 4% from the regulation value while
in Burst Mode operation, the IC will immediately switch
to fixed frequency mode and an internal pull-up will be
momentarily applied to BURST, rapidly charging the
BURST cap. This prevents the IC from immediately reentering Burst Mode operation once the output achieves
regulation.
Manual Burst Mode Operation
For manual control of Burst Mode operation, the RC
network connected to BURST can be eliminated. To force
fixed frequency mode, BURST should be connected to
VOUT. To force Burst Mode operation, BURST should be
grounded. When commanding Burst Mode operation
manually, the circuit connected to BURST should be able
to sink up to 2mA.
For optimum transient response with large dynamic loads,
the operating mode should be controlled manually by the
host. By commanding fixed frequency operation prior to
a sudden increase in load, output voltage droop can be
minimized. Note that if the load current applied during
forced Burst Mode operation (BURST pin is grounded)
exceeds the current that can be supplied, the output
voltage will start to droop and the IC will automatically come out of Burst Mode operation and enter fixed
In Burst Mode operation, the compensation network is
not used and VC is disconnected from the error amplifier.
During long periods of Burst mode operation, leakage
currents in the external components or on the PC board
could cause the compensation capacitor to charge (or
discharge), which could result in a large output transient
when returning to fixed frequency mode of operation, even
at the same load current. To prevent this, the LTC3442
incorporates an active clamp circuit that holds the voltage
on VC at an optimal voltage during Burst Mode operation.
This minimizes any output transient when returning to
fixed frequency mode operation. For optimum transient
response, Type 3 compensation is also recommended
to broad band the control loop and roll off past the two
pole response of the output LC filter. (See Closing the
Feedback Loop.)
Soft-Start
The soft-start function is combined with shutdown. When
the SHDN/SS pin is brought above 0.7V typical, the IC
is enabled but the EA duty cycle is clamped from VC. A
detailed diagram of this function is shown in Figure 5. The
components RSS and CSS provide a slow ramping voltage
on SHDN/SS to provide a soft-start function. To ensure
that VC is not being clamped, SHDN/SS must be raised
above 2.4V. To enable Burst Mode operation, SHDN/SS
must be raised to within 0.5V of VIN.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
For high efficiency, choose a ferrite inductor with a high
frequency core material to reduce core loses. The inductor should have low ESR (equivalent series resistance) to
reduce the I2R losses, and must be able to handle the peak
inductor current without saturating. Molded chokes or chip
inductors usually do not have enough core to support the
peak inductor currents in the 1A to 2A region. To minimize
radiated noise, use a shielded inductor. See Table 1 for a
suggested list of inductor suppliers.
Output Capacitor Selection
The bulk value of the output filter capacitor is set to reduce
the ripple due to charge into the capacitor each cycle. The
steady-state ripple due to charge is given by:
% RIPPLE_BOOST=
(
%
COUT • VOUT • f
)
%
2
% RIPPLE_BUCK =
(
IOUT(MAX) • VIN(MAX) – VOUT • 100
COUT • VIN(MAX) • VOUT • f
The other component of ripple is due to the ESR (equivalent series resistance) of the output capacitor. Low ESR
capacitors should be used to minimize output voltage
ripple. For surface mount applications, Taiyo Yuden or
TDK ceramic capacitors, AVX TPS series tantalum capacitors or Sanyo POSCAP are recommended. See Table 2 for
contact information.
Input Capacitor Selection
)
IOUT(MAX) • VOUT – VIN(MIN) • 100
The output capacitance is usually many times larger than
the minimum value in order to handle the transient response
requirements of the converter. For a rule of thumb, the ratio
of the operating frequency to the unity-gain bandwidth of
the converter is the amount the output capacitance will
have to increase from the above calculations in order to
maintain the desired transient response.
Since VIN is the supply voltage for the IC, as well as the input
to the power stage of the converter, it is recommended to
place at least a 4.7µF, low ESR ceramic bypass capacitor
close to the VIN and SGND pins. It is also important to
minimize any stray resistance from the converter to the
battery or other power source.

LTC3442
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Optional Schottky Diodes
The Schottky diodes across the synchronous switches B
and D are not required (VOUT < 4.3V), but provide a lower
drop during the break-before-make time (typically 15ns)
improving efficiency. Use a surface mount Schottky diode
such as an MBRM120T3 or equivalent. Do not use ordinary rectifier diodes, since the slow recovery times will
compromise efficiency. For applications with an output
voltage above 4.3V, a Schottky diode is required from
SW2 to VOUT.
However, higher operating frequencies also increase the
IC’s total quiescent current due to the gate charge of the
four switches, as given by:
Buck:
Iq = (0.8 • VIN • f) mA
Boost:
Iq = [0.4 • (VIN + VOUT) • f] mA
Buck/Boost: Iq = [f • (1.2 • VIN + 0.4 • VOUT)] mA
where f = switching frequency in MHz. Therefore frequency
selection is a compromise between the optimal efficiency
and the smallest solution size.
Output Voltage < 2.4V
Closing the Feedback Loop
The LTC3442 can operate as a buck converter with output voltages as low as 0.4V. The part is specified at 2.4V
minimum to allow operation without the requirement of a
Schottky diode. Synchronous switch D is powered from
VOUT and the RDS(ON) will increase at low output voltages,
therefore a Schottky diode is required from SW2 to VOUT
to provide the conduction path to the output. Note that
Burst Mode operation is inhibited at output voltages below
1.6V typical.
The LTC3442 incorporates voltage mode PWM control. The
control to output gain varies with operation region (buck,
boost, buck/boost), but is usually no greater than 15. The
output filter exhibits a double pole response, as given by:
f FILTER —POLE =
(in buck mode)
Output Voltage > 4.3V
f FILTER —POLE =
A Schottky diode from SW2 to VOUT is required for output
voltages over 4.3V. The diode must be located as close to
the pins as possible in order to reduce the peak voltage
on SW2 due to the parasitic lead and trace inductance.
(in boost mode)
Input Voltage > 4.5V
For applications with input voltages above 4.5V which
could exhibit an overload or short-circuit condition, a
2Ω/1nF series snubber is required between SW1 and GND.
A Schottky diode from SW1 to VIN should also be added
as close to the pins as possible. For the higher input voltages, VIN bypassing becomes more critical; therefore, a
ceramic bypass capacitor as close to the VIN and SGND
pins as possible is also required.
Operating Frequency Selection
Higher operating frequencies allow the use of a smaller
inductor and smaller input and output filter capacitors, thus reducing board area and component height.

A simple Type I compensation network can be incorporated
to stabilize the loop, but at a cost of reduced bandwidth

margin using Type I compensation, the loop must be
