The LTC®3407A is a dual, constant frequency, synchronous
step-down DC/DC converter. Intended for low power applications, it operates from a 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage
range and has a constant 1.5MHz switching frequency,
enabling the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and inductors
1mm or less in height. Each output voltage is adjustable
from 0.6V to 5V. Internal synchronous 0.35Ω, 1A power
switches provide high efficiency without the need for
external Schottky diodes.
A user selectable mode input is provided to allow the user
to trade-off ripple noise for low power efficiency. Burst
Mode® operation provides the highest efficiency at light
loads, while Pulse Skip Mode provides the lowest ripple
noise at light loads.
To further maximize battery life, the P-channel MOSFETs
are turned on continuously in dropout (100% duty cycle),
and both channels draw a total quiescent current of only
40μA. In shutdown, the device draws <1μA.

LTC3407A
OPERATION
The LTC3407A uses a constant frequency, current mode
architecture. The operating frequency is set at 1.5MHz
and can be synchronized to an external oscillator. Both
channels share the same clock and run in-phase. To suit
a variety of applications, the selectable MODE/SYNC pin
allows the user to trade-off noise for efficiency.
The output voltage is set by an external divider returned
to the VFB pins. An error amplifier compares the divided
output voltage with a reference voltage of 0.6V and adjusts
the peak inductor current accordingly. Overvoltage and
undervoltage comparators will pull the POR output low if
the output voltage is not within ±8.5%. The POR output
will go high after 65,536 clock cycles (about 44ms in pulse
skipping mode) of achieving regulation.
the PMOS switch operates intermittently based on load
demand with a fixed peak inductor current. By running
cycles periodically, the switching losses which are dominated by the gate charge losses of the power MOSFETs
are minimized. The main control loop is interrupted when
the output voltage reaches the desired regulated value. A
voltage comparator trips when ITH is below 0.65V, shutting
off the switch and reducing the power. The output capacitor and the inductor supply the power to the load until ITH
exceeds 0.65V, turning on the switch and the main control
loop which starts another cycle.
For lower ripple noise at low currents, the pulse skipping
mode can be used. In this mode, the LTC3407A continues
to switch at a constant frequency down to very low currents, where it will begin skipping pulses.
Main Control Loop
During normal operation, the top power switch (P-channel
MOSFET) is turned on at the beginning of a clock cycle when
the VFB voltage is below the reference voltage. The current
into the inductor and the load increases until the current
limit is reached. The switch turns off and energy stored in
the inductor flows through the bottom switch (N-channel
MOSFET) into the load until the next clock cycle.
Dropout Operation
The peak inductor current is controlled by the internally
compensated ITH voltage, which is the output of the error amplifier.This amplifier compares the VFB pin to the
0.6V reference. When the load current increases, the
VFB voltage decreases slightly below the reference. This
decrease causes the error amplifier to increase the ITH
voltage until the average inductor current matches the
new load current.
An important design consideration is that the RDS(ON)
of the P-channel switch increases with decreasing input
supply voltage (See Typical Performance Characteristics).
Therefore, the user should calculate the power dissipation
when the LTC3407A is used at 100% duty cycle with low
input voltage (See Thermal Considerations in the Applications Information Section).
The main control loop is shut down by pulling the RUN/SS
pin to ground.
Low Supply Operation
Low Current Operation
Two modes are available to control the operation of the
LTC3407A at low currents. Both modes automatically
switch from continuous operation to the selected mode
when the load current is low.
To optimize efficiency, the Burst Mode operation can be
selected. When the load is relatively light, the LTC3407A
automatically switches into Burst Mode operation in which
When the input supply voltage decreases toward the
output voltage, the duty cycle increases to 100% which
is the dropout condition. In dropout, the PMOS switch is
turned on continuously with the output voltage being equal
to the input voltage minus the voltage drops across the
internal P-channel MOSFET and the inductor.
The LTC3407A incorporates an undervoltage lockout circuit
which shuts down the part when the input voltage drops
below about 1.65V to prevent unstable operation.
A general LTC3407A application circuit is shown in
Figure 1. External component selection is driven by the
load requirement, and begins with the selection of the
inductor L. Once the inductor is chosen, CIN and COUT
can be selected.

Inductor Selection
Although the inductor does not influence the operating frequency, the inductor value has a direct effect on
ripple current. The inductor ripple current ΔIL decreases
with higher inductance and increases with higher VIN or
VOUT :
V V
IL = OUT • 1– OUT fO • L VIN Accepting larger values of ΔIL allows the use of low
inductances, but results in higher output voltage ripple,
greater core losses, and lower output current capability. A
reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is ΔIL =
0.3 • ILIM, where ILIM is the peak switch current limit. The
largest ripple current ΔIL occurs at the maximum input
voltage. To guarantee that the ripple current stays below a
specified maximum, the inductor value should be chosen
according to the following equation:
V
V
L = OUT • 1– OUT fO • IL VIN(MAX) The inductor value will also have an effect on Burst Mode
operation. The transition from low current operation
begins when the peak inductor current falls below a level
set by the burst clamp. Lower inductor values result in
higher ripple current which causes this transition to occur
at lower load currents. This causes a dip in efficiency in
the upper range of low current operation. In Burst Mode
operation, lower inductance values will cause the burst
frequency to increase.
Different core materials and shapes will change the size/
current and price/current relationship of an inductor. Toroid
or shielded pot cores in ferrite or permalloy materials are
small and don’t radiate much energy, but generally cost
more than powdered iron core inductors with similar electrical characterisitics. The choice of which style inductor
to use often depends more on the price vs size requirements and any radiated field/EMI requirements than on
what the LTC3407A requires to operate. Table 1 shows
some typical surface mount inductors that work well in
LTC3407A applications.

Input Capacitor (CIN) Selection
In continuous mode, the input current of the converter is a
square wave with a duty cycle of approximately VOUT/VIN.
To prevent large voltage transients, a low equivalent series
resistance (ESR) input capacitor sized for the maximum
RMS current must be used. The maximum RMS capacitor
current is given by:
VOUT (VIN – VOUT )
IRMS ≈IMAX
VIN
where the maximum average output current IMAX equals
the peak current minus half the peak-to-peak ripple current, IMAX = ILIM – ΔIL/2.
3407afa

LTC3407A
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where IRMS
= IOUT/2. This simple worst-case is commonly used to
design because even significant deviations do not offer
much relief. Note that capacitor manufacturer’s ripple current ratings are often based on only 2000 hours lifetime.
This makes it advisable to further derate the capacitor,
or choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than
required. Several capacitors may also be paralleled to meet
the size or height requirements of the design. An additional
0.1μF to 1μF ceramic capacitor is also recommended on
VIN for high frequency decoupling, when not using an all
ceramic capacitor solution.
Output Capacitor (COUT) Selection
The selection of COUT is driven by the required ESR to
minimize voltage ripple and load step transients. Typically,
once the ESR requirement is satisfied, the capacitance
is adequate for filtering. The output ripple (ΔVOUT) is
determined by:
1
VOUT IL ESR +
8fO COUT where fO = operating frequency, COUT = output capacitance
and ΔIL = ripple current in the inductor. The output ripple
is highest at maximum input voltage since ΔIL increases
with input voltage. With ΔIL = 0.3 • ILIM the output ripple
will be less than 100mV at maximum VIN and fO = 1.5MHz
with:
ESRCOUT < 150mΩ
Once the ESR requirements for COUT have been met, the
RMS current rating generally far exceeds the IRIPPLE(P-P)
requirement, except for an all ceramic solution.
In surface mount applications, multiple capacitors may
have to be paralleled to meet the capacitance, ESR or
RMS current handling requirement of the application.
Aluminum electrolytic, special polymer, ceramic and dry
tantulum capacitors are all available in surface mount
packages. The OS-CON semiconductor dielectric capacitor
available from Sanyo has the lowest ESR(size) product
of any aluminum electrolytic at a somewhat higher price.
Special polymer capacitors, such as Sanyo POSCAP, offer very low ESR, but have a lower capacitance density
than other types. Tantalum capacitors have the highest
capacitance density. However, they also have a larger
ESR and it is critical that they are surge tested for use in
switching power supplies. An excellent choice is the AVX
TPS series of surface mount tantalums, available in case
heights ranging from 2mm to 4mm. Aluminum electrolytic
capacitors have a significantly larger ESR, and are often
used in extremely cost-sensitive applications provided that
consideration is given to ripple current ratings and long
term reliability. Ceramic capacitors have the lowest ESR
and cost, but also have the lowest capacitance density,
a high voltage and temperature coefficient, and exhibit
audible piezoelectric effects. In addition, the high Q of
ceramic capacitors along with trace inductance can lead
to significant ringing. Other capacitor types include the
Panasonic Special Polymer (SP) capacitors.
In most cases, 0.1μF to 1μF of ceramic capacitors should
also be placed close to the LTC3407A in parallel with the
main capacitors for high frequency decoupling.
Ceramic Input and Output Capacitors
Higher value, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now becoming available in smaller case sizes. These are tempting
for switching regulator use because of their very low ESR.
Unfortunately, the ESR is so low that it can cause loop
stability problems. Solid tantalum capacitor ESR generates a loop “zero” at 5kHz to 50kHz that is instrumental in
giving acceptable loop phase margin. Ceramic capacitors
remain capacitive to beyond 300kHz and usually resonate
with their ESL before ESR becomes effective. Also, ceramic
caps are prone to temperature effects which requires the
designer to check loop stability over the operating temperature range. To minimize their large temperature and
voltage coefficients, only X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors
should be used. A good selection of ceramic capacitors
is available from Taiyo Yuden, TDK, and Murata.
Great care must be taken when using only ceramic input
and output capacitors. When a ceramic capacitor is used
at the input and the power is being supplied through long
wires, such as from a wall adapter, a load step at the output
can induce ringing at the VIN pin. At best, this ringing can
couple to the output and be mistaken as loop instability.
At worst, the ringing at the input can be large enough to
damage the part.

LTC3407A
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Since the ESR of a ceramic capacitor is so low, the input
and output capacitor must instead fulfill a charge storage
requirement. During a load step, the output capacitor must
instantaneously supply the current to support the load
until the feedback loop raises the switch current enough
to support the load. The time required for the feedback
loop to respond is dependent on the compensation and
the output capacitor size. Typically, 3-4 cycles are required
to respond to a load step, but only in the first cycle does
the output drop linearly. The output droop, VDROOP, is
usually about 3 times the linear drop of the first cycle.
Thus, a good place to start is with the output capacitor
size of approximately:
ΔIOUT
COUT ≈ 3
fO • VDROOP
More capacitance may be required depending on the duty
cycle and load step requirements.
In most applications, the input capacitor is merely required
to supply high frequency bypassing, since the impedance
to the supply is very low. A 10μF ceramic capacitor is
usually enough for these conditions.
Setting the Output Voltage
The LTC3407A develops a 0.6V reference voltage between
the feedback pin, VFB, and ground as shown in Figure 1.
The output voltage is set by a resistive divider according
to the following formula:
R2 VOUT = 0.6V 1+ R1
Keeping the current small (<5μA) in these resistors maximizes efficiency, but making them too small may allow
stray capacitance to cause noise problems and reduce the
phase margin of the error amp loop.
To improve the frequency response, a feed-forward capacitor CF may also be used. Great care should be taken to
route the VFB line away from noise sources, such as the
inductor or the SW line.
Power-On Reset
The POR pin is an open-drain output which pulls low when
either regulator is out of regulation. When both output
voltages are within ±8.5% of regulation, a timer is started
which releases POR after 216 clock cycles (about 44ms
in pulse skipping mode). This delay can be significantly
longer in Burst Mode operation with low load currents,
since the clock cycles only occur during a burst and there
could be milliseconds of time between bursts. This can
be bypassed by tying the POR output to the MODE/SYNC
input, to force pulse skipping mode during a reset. In
addition, if the output voltage faults during Burst Mode
sleep, POR could have a slight delay for an undervoltage
output condition and may not respond to an overvoltage
output. This can be avoided by using pulse skipping mode
instead. When either channel is shut down, the POR output
is pulled low, since one or both of the channels are not
in regulation.
Mode Selection & Frequency Synchronization
The MODE/SYNC pin is a multipurpose pin which provides
mode selection and frequency synchronization. Connecting this pin to VIN enables Burst Mode operation, which
provides the best low current efficiency at the cost of a
higher output voltage ripple. When this pin is connected
to ground, pulse skipping operation is selected which
provides the lowest output ripple, at the cost of low current efficiency.
The LTC3407A can also be synchronized to another
LTC3407A by the MODE/SYNC pin. During synchronization, the mode is set to pulse skipping and the top switch
turn-on is synchronized to the rising edge of the external
clock.
Checking Transient Response
The regulator loop response can be checked by looking at the load transient response. Switching regulators
take several cycles to respond to a step in load current.
When a load step occurs, VOUT immediately shifts by an
amount equal to ΔILOAD • ESR, where ESR is the effective
series resistance of COUT. ΔILOAD also begins to charge or
discharge COUT generating a feedback error signal used
by the regulator to return VOUT to its steady-state value.
3407afa
10
LTC3407A
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
During this recovery time, VOUT can be monitored for overshoot or ringing that would indicate a stability problem.
The initial output voltage step may not be within the
bandwidth of the feedback loop, so the standard secondorder overshoot/DC ratio cannot be used to determine
phase margin. In addition, a feed-forward capacitor can be
added to improve the high frequency response, as shown
in Figure 1. Capacitors C1 and C2 provide phase lead by
creating high frequency zeros with R2 and R4 respectively,
which improve the phase margin.
The output voltage settling behavior is related to the stability
of the closed-loop system and will demonstrate the actual
overall supply performance. For a detailed explanation of
optimizing the compensation components, including a review of control loop theory, refer to Application Note 76.
In some applications, a more severe transient can be caused
by switching in loads with large (>1μF) input capacitors.
The discharged input capacitors are effectively put in parallel with COUT, causing a rapid drop in VOUT. No regulator
can deliver enough current to prevent this problem, if the
switch connecting the load has low resistance and is driven
quickly. The solution is to limit the turn-on speed of the
load switch driver. A Hot Swap™ controller is designed
specifically for this purpose and usually incorporates current limiting, short-circuit protection, and soft-starting.
Soft-Start
The RUN/SS pins provide a means to separately run or shut
down the two regulators. In addition, they can optionally be
used to externally control the rate at which each regulator
starts up and shuts down. Pulling the RUN/SS1 pin below
1V shuts down regulator 1 on the LTC3407A. Forcing this
pin to VIN enables regulator 1. In order to control the rate
at which each regulator turns on and off, connect a resistor
and capacitor to the RUN/SS pins as shown in Figure 1.
The soft-start duration can be calculated by using the
following formula:
V 1 t SS = RSSCSSIn IN
(s)
VIN 1.6 For approximately a 1ms ramp time, use RSS = 4.7MΩ
and CSS = 680pF at VIN = 3.3V.
Efficiency Considerations
The percent efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to
the output power divided by the input power times 100%.
It is often useful to analyze individual losses to determine
what is limiting the efficiency and which change would
produce the most improvement. Percent efficiency can
be expressed as:
%Efficiency = 100% - (L1 + L2 + L3 + ...)
where L1, L2, etc. are the individual losses as a percentage of input power.
Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce
losses, 4 main sources usually account for most of the
losses in LTC3407A circuits: 1) VIN quiescent current, 2)
switching losses, 3) I2R losses, 4) other losses.
1) The VIN current is the DC supply current given in the
Electrical Characteristics which excludes MOSFET
driver and control currents. VIN current results in a
small (<0.1%) loss that increases with VIN, even at no
load.
2) The switching current is the sum of the MOSFET driver
and control currents. The MOSFET driver current results from switching the gate capacitance of the power
MOSFETs. Each time a MOSFET gate is switched from
low to high to low again, a packet of charge dQ moves
from VIN to ground. The resulting dQ/dt is a current
out of VIN that is typically much larger than the DC bias
current. In continuous mode, IGATECHG = fO(QT + QB),
where QT and QB are the gate charges of the internal
top and bottom MOSFET switches. The gate charge
losses are proportional to VIN and thus their effects
will be more pronounced at higher supply voltages.
3) I2R losses are calculated from the DC resistances of
the internal switches, RSW, and external inductor, RL.
In continuous mode, the average output current flows
through inductor L, but is “chopped” between the internal
top and bottom switches. Thus, the series resistance
looking into the SW pin is a function of both top and
bottom MOSFET RDS(ON) and the duty cycle (D) as
follows:
RSW = (RDS(ON)TOP)(D) + (RDS(ON)BOT)(1 – D)

3407afa

LTC3407A
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The RDS(ON) for both the top and bottom MOSFETs can
be obtained from the Typical Performance Characteristics
curves. Thus, to obtain I2R losses:
I2R losses = IOUT2(RSW + RL)
4) Other ‘hidden’ losses such as copper trace and internal
battery resistances can account for additional efficiency
degradations in portable systems. It is very important
to include these “system” level losses in the design of a
system. The internal battery and fuse resistance losses
can be minimized by making sure that CIN has adequate
charge storage and very low ESR at the switching frequency. Other losses including diode conduction losses
during dead-time and inductor core losses generally
account for less than 2% total additional loss.
Thermal Considerations
In a majority of applications, the LTC3407A does not
dissipate much heat due to its high efficiency. However,
in applications where the LTC3407A is running at high
ambient temperature with low supply voltage and high
duty cycles, such as in dropout, the heat dissipated may
exceed the maximum junction temperature of the part. If
the junction temperature reaches approximately 150°C,
both power switches will be turned off and the SW node
will become high impedance.
To prevent the LTC3407A from exceeding the maximum
junction temperature, the user will need to do some thermal
analysis. The goal of the thermal analysis is to determine
whether the power dissipated exceeds the maximum
junction temperature of the part. The temperature rise is
given by:
TRISE = PD • θJA
where PD is the power dissipated by the regulator and θJA
is the thermal resistance from the junction of the die to
the ambient temperature.
The junction temperature, TJ, is given by:
TJ = TRISE + TAMBIENT
As an example, consider the case when the LTC3407A is
in dropout on both channels at an input voltage of 2.7V
with a load current of 600mA and an ambient temperature
of 70°C. From the Typical Performance Characteristics
graph of Switch Resistance, the RDS(ON) resistance of
the main switch is 0.425Ω. Therefore, power dissipated
by each channel is:
PD = I2 • RDS(ON) = 153mW
The MS package junction-to-ambient thermal resistance,
θJA, is 45°C/W. Therefore, the junction temperature of
the regulator operating in a 70°C ambient temperature is
approximately:
TJ = 2 • 0.153 • 45 + 70 = 84°C
which is below the absolute maximum junction temperature of 125°C.
Design Example
As a design example, consider using the LTC3407A in a
portable application with a Li-Ion battery. The battery provides a VIN = 2.8V to 4.2V. The load requires a maximum
of 600mA in active mode and 2mA in standby mode. The
output voltage is VOUT = 2.5V. Since the load still needs
power in standby, Burst Mode operation is selected for
good low load efficiency.
First, calculate the inductor value for about 30% ripple
current at maximum VIN:
2.5V
2.5V L=
• 1–
= 2.25μH
1.5MHz • 300mA 4.2V Choosing the closest inductor from a vendor of 2.2μH
inductor, results in a maximum ripple current of:
2.5V
2.5V IL =
• 1
= 307mA
1.5MHz • 2.2μH 4.2V For cost reasons, a ceramic capacitor will be used. COUT
selection is then based on load step droop instead of ESR
requirements. For a 5% output droop:
600mA
COUT ≈ 3
= 9.6μF
1.5MHz • (5% • 2.5V)
The closest standard value is 10μF. Since the output impedance of a Li-Ion battery is very low, CIN is typically 10μF.
3407afa

LTC3407A
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The output voltage can now be programmed by choosing
the values of R1 and R2. To maintain high efficiency, the
current in these resistors should be kept small. Choosing
2μA with the 0.6V feedback voltage makes R1~300k. A close
standard 1% resistor is 280k, and R2 is then 887k.
The POR pin is a common drain output and requires a pullup resistor. A 100k resistor is used for adequate speed.
Figure 3 shows the complete schematic for this design
example. The specific passive components chosen allow
for a 1mm height power supply that maintains a high efficiency across load.
Board Layout Considerations
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of
the LTC3407A. These items are also illustrated graphically
in the layout diagram of Figure 2. Check the following in
your layout:
1. Does the capacitor CIN connect to the power VIN (Pin 3)
and GND (exposed pad) as closely as possible? This
capacitor provides the AC current to the internal power
MOSFETs and their drivers.
2. Are COUT and L1 closely connected? The (–) plate of
COUT returns current to GND and the (–) plate of CIN.
3. The resistor divider formed by R1 and R2 must be
connected between the (+) plate of COUT and a ground
sense line terminated near GND (exposed pad). The
feedback signals VFB1 and VFB2 should be routed away
from noisy components and traces, such as the SW lines
(Pins 4 and 7), and their traces should be minimized.
4. Keep sensitive components away from the SW pins. The
input capacitor CIN and the resistors R1 to R4 should be
routed away from the SW traces and the inductors.
5. A ground plane is preferred, but if not available keep
the signal and power grounds segregated with small
signal components returning to the GND pin at one
point. Addtionally the two grounds should not share
the high current paths of CIN or COUT.
6. Flood all unused areas on all layers with copper. Flooding
with copper will reduce the temperature rise of power
components. These copper areas should be connected
to VIN or GND.
