LT1945 Dual Micropower DC/DC Converter with Positive and Negative Outputs U FEATURES ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ DESCRIPTIO The LT®1945 is a dual micropower DC/DC converter in a 10-pin MSOP package. Each converter is designed with a 350mA current limit and an input voltage range of 1.2V to 15V, making the LT1945 ideal for a wide variety of applications. Both converters feature a quiescent current of only 20µA at no load, which further reduces to 0.5µA in shutdown. A current limited, fixed off-time control scheme conserves operating current, resulting in high efficiency over a broad range of load current. The 36V switch allows high voltage outputs up to ±34V to be easily generated without the use of costly transformers. The LT1945’s low off-time of 400ns permits the use of tiny, low profile inductors and capacitors to minimize footprint and cost in space-conscious portable applications.

LT1945 Block Diagram U OPERATIO The LT1945 uses a constant off-time control scheme to provide high efficiencies over a wide range of output current. Operation can be best understood by referring to the block diagram in Figure 1. Q1 and Q2 along with R3 and R4 form a bandgap reference used to regulate the output voltage. When the voltage at the NFB1 pin is slightly below –1.23V, comparator A1 disables most of the internal circuitry. Output current is then provided by capacitor C2, which slowly discharges until the voltage at the NFB1 pin goes above the hysteresis point of A1 (typical hysteresis at the NFB1 pin is 8mV). A1 then enables the internal circuitry, turns on power switch Q3, and the current in inductors L1 and L2 begins ramping up. Once the switch current reaches 350mA, comparator A2 resets the oneshot, which turns off Q3 for 400ns. L2 continues to deliver current to the output while Q3 is off. Q3 turns on again and the inductor currents ramp back up to 350mA, then A2 again resets the one-shot. This switching action continues until the output voltage is charged up (until the NFB1 pin reaches –1.23V), then A1 turns off the internal circuitry and the cycle repeats. The second switching regulator is a step-up converter (which generates a positive output) but the basic operation is the same.The LT1945 contains additional circuitry to provide protection during start-up and under shortcircuit conditions. When the FB2 pin voltage is less than approximately 600mV, the switch off-time is increased to 1.5µs and the current limit is reduced to around 250mA (70% of its normal value). This reduces the average inductor current and helps minimize the power dissipation in the power switch and in the external inductor and diode. 1945f 4 LT1945 U U W U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Choosing an Inductor Several recommended inductors that work well with the LT1945 are listed in Table 1, although there are many other manufacturers and devices that can be used. Consult each manufacturer for more detailed information and for their entire selection of related parts. Many different sizes and shapes are available. Use the equations and recommendations in the next few sections to find the correct inductance value for your design. Table 1.

For most regulators with output voltages below 7V, a 4.7µH inductor is the best choice, even though the equation above might specify a smaller value. This is due to the inductor current overshoot that occurs when very small inductor values are used (see Current Limit Overshoot section). For higher output voltages, the formula above will give large inductance values. For a 2V to 20V converter (typical LCD Bias application), a 21µH inductor is called for with the above equation, but a 10µH inductor could be used without excessive reduction in maximum output current. Inductor Selection—SEPIC Regulator The formula below calculates the approximate inductor value to be used for a SEPIC regulator using the LT1945. As for the boost inductor selection, a larger or smaller value can be used. V + VD L = 2 OUT ILIM tOFF Inductor Selection—Boost Regulator The formula below calculates the appropriate inductor value to be used for a boost regulator using the LT1945 (or at least provides a good starting point). This value provides a good tradeoff in inductor size and system performance. Pick a standard inductor close to this value. A larger value can be used to slightly increase the available output current, but limit it to around twice the value calculated below, as too large of an inductance will increase the output voltage ripple without providing much additional output current. A smaller value can be used (especially for systems with output voltages greater than 12V) to give a smaller physical size. Inductance can be calculated as: L= VOUT − VIN(MIN) + VD ILIM tOFF where VD = 0.4V (Schottky diode voltage), ILIM = 350mA and tOFF = 400ns; for designs with varying VIN such as battery powered applications, use the minimum VIN value Inductor Selection—Inverting Regulator The formula below calculates the appropriate inductor value to be used for an inverting regulator using the LT1945 (or at least provides a good starting point). This value provides a good tradeoff in inductor size and system performance. Pick a standard inductor close to this value (both inductors should be the same value). A larger value can be used to slightly increase the available output current, but limit it to around twice the value calculated below, as too large of an inductance will increase the output voltage ripple without providing much additional output current. A smaller value can be used (especially for systems with output voltages greater than 12V) to give a smaller physical size. Inductance can be calculated as: VOUT + VD L = 2 ILIM tOFF where VD = 0.4V (Schottky diode voltage), ILIM = 350mA and tOFF = 400ns. 1945f 5 LT1945 U U W U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO For higher output voltages, the formula above will give large inductance values. For a 2V to 20V converter (typical LCD bias application), a 47µH inductor is called for with the above equation, but a 10µH or 22µH inductor could be used without excessive reduction in maximum output current. Inductor Selection—Inverting Charge Pump Regulator For the inverting regulator, the voltage seen by the internal power switch is equal to the sum of the absolute value of the input and output voltages, so that generating high output voltages from a high input voltage source will often exceed the 36V maximum switch rating. For instance, a 12V to – 30V converter using the inverting topology would generate 42V on the SW pin, exceeding its maximum rating. For this application, an inverting charge pump is the best topology. The formula below calculates the approximate inductor value to be used for an inverting charge pump regulator using the LT1945. As for the boost inductor selection, a larger or smaller value can be used. For designs with varying VIN such as battery powered applications, use the minimum VIN value in the equation below. L= VOUT − VIN(MIN) + VD ILIM tOFF Current Limit Overshoot For the constant off-time control scheme of the LT1945, the power switch is turned off only after the 350mA current limit is reached. There is a 100ns delay between the time when the current limit is reached and when the switch actually turns off. During this delay, the inductor current exceeds the current limit by a small amount. The peak inductor current can be calculated by: VIN(MAX) − VSAT IPEAK = ILIM + 100ns L Where VSAT = 0.25V (switch saturation voltage). The current overshoot will be most evident for regulators with high input voltages and smaller inductor values. This overshoot can be beneficial as it helps increase the amount of available output current for smaller inductor values. This will be the peak current seen by the inductor (and the diode) during normal operation. For designs using small inductance values (especially at input voltages greater than 5V), the current limit overshoot can be quite high. Although it is internally current limited to 350mA, the power switch of the LT1945 can handle larger currents without problem, but the overall efficiency will suffer. Best results will be obtained when IPEAK is kept below 700mA for the LT1945. Capacitor Selection Low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) capacitors should be used at the output to minimize the output ripple voltage. X5R or X7R multilayer ceramic capacitors are the best choice, as they have a very low ESR and are available in very small packages. Y5V ceramics are not recommended. Their small size makes them a good companion to the LT1945’s MS10 package. Solid tantalum capacitors (like the AVX TPS, Sprague 593D families) 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. Ceramic capacitors also make a good choice for the input decoupling capacitor, which should be placed as close as possible to the LT1945. A 4.7µF input capacitor is sufficient for most applications. Table 2 shows a list of several capacitor manufacturers. Consult the manufacturers for more detailed information and for their entire selection of related parts. Table 2.

R1 = VOUT –1.23V ( 1.23V + 2 • 10−6 R2 fast switching speed, are the best match for the LT1945. The Motorola MBR0520, MBR0530, or MBR0540 can also be used. Many different manufacturers make equivalent parts, but make sure that the component is rated to handle at least 0.35A. Lowering Output Voltage Ripple ) Set the output voltage for Switcher 2 (positive output voltage) by choosing the appropriate values for feedback resistors R1B and R2B (see Figure 1). V R1B = R2B OUT − 1 1.23V Diode Selection For most LT1945 applications, the Zetex ZHCS400 surface mount Schottky diode (0.4A, 40V) is an ideal choice. Schottky diodes, with their low forward voltage drop and Using low ESR capacitors will help minimize the output ripple voltage, but proper selection of the inductor and the output capacitor also plays a big role. The LT1945 provides energy to the load in bursts by ramping up the inductor current, then delivering that current to the load. If too large of an inductor value or too small of a capacitor value is used, the output ripple voltage will increase because the capacitor will be slightly overcharged each burst cycle. To reduce the output ripple, increase the output capacitor value or add a 4.7pF feed-forward capacitor in the feedback network of the LT1945 (see the circuits in the Typical Applications section). Adding this small, inexpensive 4.7pF capacitor will greatly reduce the output voltage ripple.
