DESCRIPTIO
The LT®1310 boost DC/DC converter combines a 1.5A
current mode PWM switcher with an integrated phaselocked loop, allowing the user to set the switching frequency anywhere from 10kHz to 4.5MHz. Intended for use
in applications where switching frequency must be accurately controlled, the LT1310 can generate 12V at up to
400mA from a 5V input.
Synchronizable or Constant Frequency
Low Noise Output
Synchronizable Up to 4.5MHz
Wide Input Voltage Range: 2.8V to 18V
Low Profile Surface Mount Solution
(All Ceramic Capacitors)
Low VCESAT Switch: 240mV at 1A
Adjustable Output from VIN to 35V
Small Thermally Enhanced 10-Lead MSOP Package
Switching frequency is set with an external capacitor, and
the device can be operated in either free-running or phaselocked mode. A wide capture range of nearly 2:1 allows the
free-running frequency to be set using standard ±10%
tolerance NP0 dielectric capacitors.

edge triggered and when locked the rising edge of the
sync signal will be aligned with the turn-on of the power

SHDN (Pin 2): Shutdown Pin. For active mode, tie this pin
to a voltage between 2.4V and 18V. To disable the part and
go into low current mode, pull this pin below 0.4V.
PLL-LPF (Pin 3): Phase Locked-Loop Filter Pin. This is the
output of the phase detector and also the input to the
voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). Connect an RC filter
here. Typically, R = 3k and C = 1500pF. The voltage range
at the PLL-LPF pin is approximately 0V to 1.5V with 1.5V
corresponding to the maximum switching frequency. For
applications not requiring synchronization, use a pull-up
resistor at this pin; the pull-up voltage must be above 2.4V.
Set the pull-up resistor value according to:

OPERATIO
To understand operation, refer to the Block Diagram. The
LT1310 contains a boost switching regulator that can be
phase locked to an external synchronizing signal. The
boost regulator uses current mode control and contains a
1.5A NPN power transistor. This type of control uses two
feedback loops. The main control loop sets output voltage
and operates as follows: a load step causes VOUT and the
FB voltage to be slightly perturbed. The error amplifier A1
responds to this change in FB by driving the VC pin either
higher or lower. Because switch current is proportional to
the VC pin voltage, this change causes the switch current
to be adjusted until VOUT is once again satisfied. Loop
compensation is taken care of by an RC network from the
VC pin to ground. Inside this main loop is another that sets
current limit on a cycle-by-cycle basis. This loop utilizes
current comparator A2 to control peak current. The oscillator issues a set pulse to the flip-flop at the beginning of
each cycle, turning the switch on. With the switch now in
the ON state, the SW pin is effectively connected to
ground. Current ramps up in the inductor linearly at a rate
of VIN/L. Switch current is set by the VC pin voltage and
when the voltage across RSENSE trips the current comparator, a reset pulse will be generated and the switch will
be turned off. Since the inductor is now loaded up with
current, the SW pin will fly high until it is clamped by the
catch diode, D1. Current will flow through the diode
decreasing at a rate of (VOUT – VIN)/L until the oscillator
issues a new set pulse, causing the cycle to repeat.
The LT1310 is phase lockable up to 4.5MHz, giving the
user precise control over switching frequency. The phase
detector compares the incoming sync signal to the internal
oscillator signal. If the switching frequency is lower than
the sync signal, or if the phase lags the sync signal, then
the phase detector output will source current into the
PLL-LPF pin, driving it higher. The PLL-LPF pin is also the
input to the voltage controlled oscillator. If the sync signal
is slower than the switching frequency, the PLL-LPF pin
will sink current until the PLL-LPF pin voltage drops. When
locked, the PLL-LPF pin rests at a voltage between 0V and
1.5V. The PLL-LPF pin is capable of sinking or sourcing
approximately 140µA.

OPERATIO
CT Selection for Operating Frequency
To synchronize to an external input signal, the timing
capacitor and PLL filter components must be chosen
properly. This is a simple process and can be done using
the graph in Figure␣ 2a.
In Figure 2a, operating frequency is plotted versus timing
capacitor (CT) with the upper and lower lines corresponding to the minimum and maximum lock frequency given a
specific CT value. To choose the right timing capacitor,
find the intersection of the desired operating frequency
and the dashed line. Then move to the corresponding CT
value.
Because the lock range for the PLL is nearly 2:1, the
nearest standard value NP0 capacitor can be used. For
the application shown in Figure 1, a 1.6MHz switching
frequency corresponds to an 100pF timing capacitor.
Since the switching frequency affects inductor ripple
current, the inductor must also be scaled. Table 1 shows
recommended component values for various switching
frequencies.

Inductor Selection
Capacitor Selection
Several inductors that work well with the LT1310 are listed
in Table 2. This table is not exclusive; there are many other
manufacturers and inductors that can be used. Consult
each manufacturer for more detailed information and for
their entire selection of related parts, as many different
sizes and shapes are available. Ferrite core inductors
should be used to obtain the best efficiency, as core losses
at high frequency are much lower for ferrite cores than for
the cheaper powdered-iron ones. Choose an inductor that
can handle at least 1.5A 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.
Switching frequency will also affect inductor requirements with higher frequencies corresponding to lower
inductance values. A good starting point is to set the
inductor ripple current equal to one-third of the peak
switch current.
Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) capacitors should
be used at the output to minimize the output ripple voltage.
Multilayer ceramic capacitors are an excellent choice, as
they have an 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 20µF 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.
The inductors shown in Table 2 were chosen for small size.
For better efficiency, use similar valued inductors with a
larger volume.
Ceramic capacitors also make a good choice for the input
decoupling capacitor, which should be placed as close as
possible to the LT1310. A 2.2µF to 4.7µF input capacitor is
sufficient for most applications. Table 3 shows a list of
several ceramic capacitor manufacturers. Consult the
manufacturers for detailed information on their entire
selection of ceramic parts.

Compensation—Adjustment
To compensate the feedback loop of the LT1310, a series
resistor-capacitor network should be connected from the
VC pin to GND. For most applications, a capacitor in the
range of 220pF to 1500pF will suffice. With a switching
frequency of 1.6MHz, a good starting value for the compensation capacitor, CC, is 820pF. The compensation
resistor, RC, is usually in the range of 5k to 30k. A good
technique to compensate a new application is to use a
30kΩ potentiometer in place of RC, and use a 820pF
capacitor for CC. By adjusting the potentiometer while
observing the transient response, the optimum value for
RC can be found. Figures 3a to 3c illustrate this process
for the circuit of Figure 1 with a load current stepped from

As with any feedback loop, identifying the gain and phase
contribution of the various elements in the loop is critical.
Figure 4 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 4, the DC gain, poles and zeroes can be
calculated as follows:

Figure 3c. Transient Response is Well Damped
100mA to 200mA. Figure 3a shows the transient response
with RC equal to 3k. The phase margin is poor as evidenced by the excessive ringing in the output voltage and
inductor current. In Figure 3b, the value of R C is increased
to 6k, which results in a more damped response. Figure
3c shows the results when RC is increased further to 15k.
The transient response is nicely damped and the compensation procedure is complete.
Compensation—Theory
Like all other current mode switching regulators, the
LT1310 needs to be compensated for stable and efficient
operation. Two feedback loops are used in the LT1310: a
In addition to the elements from Figure 4, current mode
control aslo results in some other poles and zeroes. These
are as follows:
RHP Zero: Z2 =

Output Zero: Z3 =

Current Mode Pole: P3 > S

The Current Mode zero is a right half plane zero which can
be an issue in feedback control design, but is manageable
with proper external component selection.

From Figure 5, the phase is 120° when the gain reaches
0dB giving a phase margin of 60°. This is more than
adequate. The crossover frequency is 50kHz, which is
about three times lower than the frequency of the right half
plane zero Z2. It is important that the crossover frequency
be at least three times lower than the frequency of the RHP
zero to achieve adequate phase margin.

Diode Selection
A Schottky diode is recommended for use with the LT1310.
The Microsemi UPS120 is a very good choice. Where the
input to output voltage differential exceeds 20V, use the
UPS140 (a 40V diode). These diodes are rated to handle an
average forward current of 1A. For applications where the
average forward current of the diode is less than 0.5A, an
ON Semiconductor MBR0520 diode can be used.
Setting Output Voltage
To set the output voltage, select the values of R1 and R2
(see Figure 1) according to the following equation:
 V

R1 = R2  OUT – 1
 1.255V 
A good range for R2 is from 5k to 30k.
