LT1610 Block Diagram 5 LT1610 U W U U APPLICATIONS INFORMATION OPERATION The LT1610 combines a current mode, fixed frequency PWM architecture with Burst Mode micropower operation to maintain high efficiency at light loads. Operation can be best understood by referring to the block diagram in Figure 2. Q1 and Q2 form a bandgap reference core whose loop is closed around the output of the converter. When VIN is 1V, the feedback voltage of 1.23V, along with an 70mV drop across R5 and R6, forward biases Q1 and Q2’s base collector junctions to 300mV. Because this is not enough to saturate either transistor, FB can be at a higher voltage than VIN. When there is no load, FB rises slightly above 1.23V, causing VC (the error amplifier’s output) to decrease. When VC reaches the bias voltage on hysteretic comparator A1, A1’s output goes low, turning off all circuitry except the input stage, error amplifier and lowbattery detector. Total current consumption in this state is 30µA. As output loading causes the FB voltage to decrease, A1’s output goes high, enabling the rest of the IC. Switch current is limited to approximately 100mA initially after A1’s output goes high. If the load is light, the output voltage (and FB voltage) will increase until A1’s output goes low, turning off the rest of the LT1610. Low frequency ripple voltage appears at the output. The ripple frequency is dependent on load current and output capacitance. This Burst Mode operation keeps the output regulated and reduces average current into the IC, resulting in high efficiency even at load currents of 1mA or less. If the output load increases sufficiently, A1’s output remains high, resulting in continuous operation. When the LT1610 is running continuously, peak switch current is controlled by VC to regulate the output voltage. The switch is turned on at the beginning of each switch cycle. When the summation of a signal representing switch current and a ramp generator (introduced to avoid subharmonic oscillations at duty factors greater than 50%) exceeds the VC signal, comparator A2 changes state, resetting the flip-flop and turning off the switch. Output voltage increases as switch current is increased. The output, attenuated by a resistor divider, appears at the FB pin, closing the overall loop. Frequency compensation is provided by either an external series RC network connected between the VC pin and ground or the internal RC network on the COMP pin (Pin 8). The typical values for the internal RC are 50k and 50pF. LAYOUT Although the LT1610 is a relatively low current device, its high switching speed mandates careful attention to layout for optimum performance. For boost converters, follow the component placement indicated in Figure 3 for the best results. C2’s negative terminal should be placed close to Pin 4 of the LT1610. Doing this reduces switching currents in the ground copper which keeps high frequency “spike” noise to a minimum. Tie the local ground into the system ground plane at one point only, using a few vias, to avoid introducing dI/dt induced noise into the ground plane.

Recommended Component Placement for SEPIC 7 LT1610 U W U U APPLICATIONS INFORMATION COMPONENT SELECTION Inductors Inductors used with the LT1610 should have a saturation current rating (–30% of zero current inductance) of approximately 0.5A or greater. DCR should be 0.5Ω or less. The value of the inductor should be matched to the power requirements and operating voltages of the application. In most cases a value of 4.7µH or 10µH is suitable. The Murata LQH3C inductors specified throughout the data sheet are small and inexpensive, and are a good fit for the LT1610. Alternatives are the CD43 series from Sumida and the DO1608 series from Coilcraft. These inductors are slightly larger but will result in slightly higher circuit efficiency. Chip inductors, although tempting to use because of their small size and low cost, generally do not have enough energy storage capacity or low enough DCR to be used successfully with the LT1610. Diodes The Motorola MBR0520 is a 0.5 amp, 20V Schottky diode. This is a good choice for nearly any LT1610 application, unless the output voltage or the circuit topology require a diode rated for higher reverse voltages. Motorola also offers the MBR0530 (30V) and MBR0540 (40V) versions. Most one-half amp and one amp Schottky diodes are suitable; these are available from many manufacturers. If you use a silicon diode, it must be an ultrafast recovery type. Efficiency will be lower due to the silicon diode’s higher forward voltage drop. Capacitors The input capacitor must be placed physically close to the LT1610. ESR is not critical for the input. In most cases inexpensive tantalum can be used. The choice of output capacitor is far more important. The quality of this capacitor is the greatest determinant of the output voltage ripple. The output capacitor performs two major functions. It must have enough capacitance to satisfy the load under transient conditions and it must shunt the AC component of the current coming through the diode from the inductor. The ripple on the output results when this AC current passes through the finite 8 impedance of the output capacitor. The capacitor should have low impedance at the 1.7MHz switching frequency of the LT1610. At this frequency, the impedance is usually dominated by the capacitor’s equivalent series resistance (ESR). Choosing a capacitor with lower ESR will result in lower output ripple. Perhaps the best way to decrease ripple is to add a 1µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with the bulk output capacitor. Ceramic capacitors have very low ESR and 1µF is enough capacitance to result in low impedance at the switching frequency. The low impedance can have a dramatic effect on output ripple voltage. To illustrate, examine Figure 6’s circuit, a 4-cell to 5V/100mA SEPIC DC/DC converter. This design uses inexpensive aluminum electrolytic capacitors at input and output to keep cost down. Figure 7 details converter operation at a 100mA load, without ceramic capacitor C5. Note the 400mV spikes on VOUT. After C5 is installed, output ripple decreases by a factor of 8 to about 50mVP-P. The addition of C5 also improves efficiency by 1 to 2 percent. Low ESR and the required bulk output capacitance can be obtained using a single larger output capacitor. Larger tantalum capacitors, newer capacitor technologies (for example the POSCAP from Sanyo and SPCAP from Panasonic) or large value ceramic capacitors will reduce the output ripple. Note, however, that the stability of the circuit depends on both the value of the output capacitor and its ESR. When using low value capacitors or capacitors with very low ESR, circuit stability should be evaluated carefully, as described below. Loop Compensation The LT1610 is a current mode PWM switching regulator that achieves regulation with a linear control loop. The LT1610 provides the designer with two methods of compensating this loop. First, you can use an internal compensation network by tying the COMP pin to the VC pin. This results in a very small solution and reduces the circuit’s total part count. The second option is to tie a resistor RC and a capacitor CC in series from the VC pin to ground. This allows optimization of the transient response for a wide variety of operating conditions and power components.

Switching Waveforms with Ceramic Capacitor C5. Note the 50mV/DIV Scale for VOUT It is best to choose the compensation components empirically. Once the power components have been chosen (based on size, efficiency, cost and space requirements), a working circuit is built using conservative (or merely guessed) values of RC and CC. Then the response of the circuit is observed under a transient load, and the compen- Large value ceramic capacitors that are suitable for use as the main output capacitor of an LT1610 regulator are now available. These capacitors have very low ESR and therefore offer very low output ripple in a small package. However, you should approach their use with some caution. Ceramic capacitors are manufactured using a number of dielectrics, each with different behavior across temperature and applied voltage. Y5V is a common dielectric used for high value capacitors, but it can lose more than 80% of the original capacitance with applied voltage and extreme temperatures. The transient behavior and loop stability of the switching regulator depend on the value of the output capacitor, so you may not be able to afford this loss. Other dielectrics (X7R and X5R) result in more stable characteristics and are suitable for use as the output capacitor. The X7R type has better stability across temperature, whereas the X5R is less expensive and is available in higher values. The second concern in using ceramic capacitors is that many switching regulators benefit from the ESR of the 9 LT1610 U U W U APPLICATIONS INFORMATION output capacitor because it introduces a zero in the regulator’s loop gain. This zero may not be effective because the ceramic capacitor’s ESR is very low. Most current mode switching regulators (including the LT1610) can easily be compensated without this zero. Any design should be tested for stability at the extremes of operating temperatures; this is particularly so of circuits that use ceramic output capacitors. Figure 9 details a 2.5V to 5V boost converter. Transient response to a 5mA to 105mA load step is pictured in Figure 10. The “double trace” of VOUT at 105mA load is due to the ESR of C2. This ESR aids stability. In Figure 11, C2 is replaced by a 10µF ceramic capacitor. Note the low phase margin; at higher input voltage, the converter may oscillate. After replacing the internal compensation network with an external 220pF/220k series RC, the transient response is shown in Figure 12. This is acceptable transient response.
