LT1303/LT1303-5 Micropower High Efficiency DC/DC Converters with Low-Battery Detector Adjustable and Fixed 5V U DESCRIPTION FEATURES ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ The LT®1303/LT1303-5 are micropower step-up high efficiency DC/DC converters using Burst ModeTM operation. They are ideal for use in small, low-voltage batteryoperated systems. The LT1303-5 accepts an input voltage between 1.8V and 5V and converts it to a regulated 5V. The LT1303 is an adjustable version that can supply an output voltage up to 25V. Quiescent current is only 120µA from the battery and the shutdown pin further reduces current to 10µA. The low-battery detector provides an opencollector output that goes low when the input voltage drops below a preset level. The on-chip NPN power switch has a low 170mV saturation voltage at a switch current of 1A. The LT1303/LT1303-5 are available in 8-lead PDIP or SO packages, easing board space requirements. 5V at 200mA from a 2V Input Supply Voltage As Low As 1.8V Up to 88% Efficiency 120µA Quiescent Current Low-Battery Detector Low VCESAT Switch: 170mV at 1A Typ Uses Inexpensive Surface Mount Inductors 8-Lead PDIP or SO Package U APPLICATIONS ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ EL Panel Drivers 2-Cell and 3-Cell to 5V Conversion Palmtop Computers Portable Instruments Bar-Code Scanners PDAs Wireless Systems For higher output current, please see the LT1305 or LT1302. , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

LT1303-5 Block Diagram PGND LT1303 BD02 U OPERATION Operation of the LT1303 is best understood by referring to the Block Diagram in Figure 2. When C1’s negative input, related to the output voltage by the appropriate resistordivider ratio, is higher than the 1.24V reference voltage, C1’s output is low. C2, A3 and the oscillator are turned off, drawing no current. Only the reference and C1 consume current, typically 140µA. When C1’s negative input drops below 1.24V and overcomes C1’s 6mV hysteresis, C1’s output goes high, enabling the oscillator, current comparator C2 and driver A3. Quiescent current increases to 2mA as the device goes into active switching mode. Q1 then turns on in controlled saturation for nominally 6µs or until current comparator C2 trips, whichever comes first. The switch then turns off for approximately 1.5µs, then turns on again. The LT1303’s switching causes current to alternately build up in L1 and dump into output capacitor C4 via D1, increasing the output voltage. When the output is high enough to cause C1’s output to go high, switching action ceases. Capacitor C4 is left to supply current to the load until VOUT decreases enough to force C1’s output high, and the entire cycle repeats. Figure 4 details relevant waveforms. C1’s cycling causes low-to-mid-frequency ripple voltage on the output. Ripple can be reduced by making the 6 output capacitor large. The 100µF unit specified results in ripple of 50mV to 100mV on the 5V output. A 220µF capacitor will decrease ripple by approximately 50%. VOUT 100mV/DIV AC COUPLED VSW 5V/DIV IL 1A/DIV 20µs/DIV LT1303 F04 Figure 4. Burst Mode Operation in Action If switch current reaches 1A, causing C2 to trip, switch ontime is reduced and off-time increases slightly. This allows continuous operation during bursts. C2 monitors the voltage across 3Ω resistor R1 which is directly related to the switch current. Q2’s collector current is set by the emitter-area ratio to 0.6% of Q1’s collector current. When R1’s voltage drop exceeds 18mV, corresponding to 1A switch current, C2’s output goes high, truncating the ontime portion of the oscillator cycle and increasing off-time LT1303/LT1303-5 U OPERATION to about 2µs. Response time of C2, which determines minimum on-time, is approximately 300ns. Low Battery Detector hysteresis built in, but hysteresis can be added by connecting a high-value resistor from LBI to LBO as shown in Figure 5. The internal reference can be accessed via the comparator as shown in Figure 6. The low battery detector is enabled when SHDN is low and disabled when SHDN is high.

R3 Adds Hysteresis to Low-Battery Detector U W U U APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Inductor Section Inductors suitable for use with the LT1303 usually fall in the 5µH to 50µH range. The inductor must: (1) handle current of 1.25A without saturating, (2) have enough inductance to provide a di/dt lower than 400mA/µs, and (3) have low enough DC resistance to avoid excessive heating or efficiency losses. Higher value inductors will deliver more power but tend to be physically larger. Most ferrite core drum or rod inductors such as those specified in Table 1 are suitable for use. It is acceptable to bias openflux inductors (e.g. Sumida CD54) into saturation by 10 to 20% without adverse effects. Table 1.

The rapid rise in current shown in Figure 8 results from this inductor saturating at approximately 1A. Saturation occurs when the inductor cannot hold any more magnetic energy in the core. Current then increases rapidly, limited only by the resistance of the winding. Figure 9’s inductor has high DC resistance which results in the exponential time constant shape of the inductor current.

This Inductor Saturates at IL≈1A. A Poor Choice Input and output capacitors should have low ESR for best efficiency. Recommended capacitors include AVX TPS series, Sprague 595D series, and Sanyo OS-CON. The output capacitor’s ESR determines the high frequency ripple amplitude. A 100µF capacitor is the minimum recommended for a 5V output. Higher output voltages can use lower capacitance values. For example, a 12V output can use a 33µF or 47µF capacitor. The VIN pin of the LT1303 should be decoupled with a 47µF or 100µF capacitor at the pin. When driving a transformer, an additional decoupling network of 10Ω and 0.1µF ceramic is recommended as shown in Figure 10. VIN 10Ω + LT1303 F09 VIN 47µF Figure 9. Slight Exponential Shape to Inductor Current Waveform Indicates Excessive DC Resistance 0.1µF CERAMIC SW GND Diode Selection The LT1303’s high switching speed demands a high speed rectifier. Schottky diodes are preferred for their low forward drop and fast recovery. Suitable choices include the 1N5817, MBRS120LT3, and MBR0520LT1. Do not use signal diodes such as 1N4148. They cannot carry 1A current. Also avoid “general-purpose” diodes such as 1N4001. These are far too slow and are unsuitable for any switching regulator application. For high temperature applications a silicon diode such as the MUR105 will have less leakage. 8 • • • LT1303 PGND LT1303 F10 Figure 10. 10Ω-1µF Network to LT1303 VIN Pin Provides Additional Decoupling.
