PIN FUNCTIONS
SHDN (Pin 1): Logic Controlled Shutdown Input. There is
an internal 4MΩ pull-down resistor on this pin.
• SHDN = High: Normal operation
• SHDN = Low: Shutdown, quiescent current < 1μA
FB (Pin 2): Feedback Input. Connect resistor divider tap
to this pin. The output voltage can be adjusted from 1.6V
to 5.25V by:
⎛ R2⎞
VOUT = 1.20V • ⎜1+ ⎟
⎝ R1⎠
PGOOD (Pin 3): Power Good Comparator Output. This
open-drain output is low when VFB < 10% from its regulation voltage.
VOUT (Pin 4): Output Voltage Sense and Drain Connection
of the Internal Synchronous Rectifier. PCB trace length
from VOUT to the output filter capacitor (4.7μF minimum)
should be as short and wide as possible.
SW (Pin 5): Switch Pin. Connect inductor between SW
and VIN. Keep PCB trace lengths as short and wide as
possible to reduce EMI. If the inductor current falls to
zero, or SHDN is low, an internal anti-ringing switch is
connected from SW to VIN to minimize EMI.
PGND (Pin 6): Power Ground. Provide a short direct PCB
path between PGND and the (–) side of the input and
output capacitors.
SGND (Pin 7): Signal Ground. Provide a short direct PCB
path between SGND and the (–) side of the input and
output capacitors.
VIN (Pin 8): Battery Input Voltage. Connect a minimum
of 1μF ceramic decoupling capacitor from this pin to
ground.
Exposed Pad (Pin 9): The Exposed Pad must be soldered
to the PCB ground plane. It serves as another ground
connection and as a means of conducting heat away
from the die.

LTC3528B-2
OPERATION
(Refer to Block Diagram)
The LTC3528B-2 is a 2MHz synchronous boost converter
housed in an 8-lead 3mm × 2mm DFN package. With the
ability to start-up and operate from inputs less than 0.88V,
the device features fixed frequency, current mode PWM
control for exceptional line and load regulation. The current mode architecture with adaptive slope compensation
provides excellent transient load response and requires
minimal output filtering. Internal soft-start and internal
loop compensation simplifies the design process while
minimizing the number of external components.
With its low RDS(ON) and low gate charge internal N-channel MOSFET switch and P-channel MOSFET synchronous
rectifier, the LTC3528-2 achieves high efficiency over a
wide range of load current. The LTC3528B-2 features continuous PWM operation at 2MHz. At very light loads, the
LTC3528B-2 will exhibit pulse-skip operation. Operation can
be best understood by referring to the Block Diagram.
LOW VOLTAGE START-UP
The LTC3528B-2 includes an independent start-up oscillator
designed to operate at an input voltage of 0.70V (typical).
Soft-start and inrush current limiting are provided during
start-up, as well as normal operating mode.
When either VIN or VOUT exceeds 1.6V typical, the IC enters
normal operating mode. Once the output voltage exceeds
the input by 0.24V, the IC powers itself from VOUT instead of
VIN. At this point the internal circuitry has no dependency
on the VIN input voltage, eliminating the requirement for
a large input capacitor. The input voltage can drop as low
as 0.5V. The limiting factor for the application becomes
the availability of the power source to supply sufficient
power to the output at the low voltages, and the maximum
duty cycle, which is clamped at 92% typical. Note that
at low input voltages, small voltage drops due to series
resistance become critical, and greatly limit the power
delivery capability of the converter.
LOW NOISE FIXED FREQUENCY OPERATION
Soft-Start
The LTC3528B-2 contains internal circuitry to provide
soft-start operation. The internal soft-start circuitry slowly
ramps the peak inductor current from zero to its peak
value of 1.5A (typical), allowing start-up into heavy loads.
The soft-start time is approximately 0.5ms. The soft-start
circuitry is reset in the event of a commanded shutdown
or a thermal shutdown.
Oscillator
An internal oscillator sets the frequency of operation to
2MHz.
Shutdown
The converter is shut down by pulling the SHDN pin below
0.25V, and activated by pulling SHDN above 0.88V. Note
that SHDN can be driven above VIN or VOUT, as long as it
is limited to less than the absolute maximum rating.
Error Amplifier
The error amplifier is a transconductance type. The noninverting input is internally connected to the 1.20V reference
and the inverting input is connected to FB. Clamps limit
the minimum and maximum error amp output voltage for
improved large-signal transient response. Power converter
control loop compensation is provided internally. A voltage
divider from VOUT to ground programs the output voltage
via FB from 1.6V to 5.25V.

LTC3528B-2
OPERATION
(Refer to Block Diagram)
Current Sensing
Anti-Ringing Control
Lossless current sensing converts the peak current signal
of the N-channel MOSFET switch into a voltage which
is summed with the internal slope compensation. The
summed signal is compared to the error amplifier output to
provide a peak current control command for the PWM.
The anti-ringing control connects a resistor across the
inductor to prevent high frequency ringing on the SW pin
during discontinuous current mode operation. The ringing
of the resonant circuit formed by L and CSW (capacitance
on SW pin) is low energy, but can cause EMI radiation.
Current Limit
Output Disconnect
The current limit comparator shuts off the N-channel
MOSFET switch once its threshold is reached. The current
limit comparator delay to output is typically 60ns. Peak
switch current is limited to approximately 1.5A, independent of input or output voltage, unless VOUT falls below
0.7V, in which case the current limit is cut in half.
The LTC3528B-2 is designed to allow true output disconnect by eliminating body diode conduction of the internal
P-channel MOSFET rectifier. This allows for VOUT to go to
zero volts during shutdown, drawing no current from the
input source. It also enables inrush current limiting at turnon, minimizing surge currents seen by the input supply.
Note that to obtain the advantages of output disconnect,
a Schottky diode cannot be connected between SW and
VOUT. The output disconnect feature also allows VOUT to be
forced above the programmed regulation voltage, without
any reverse current into a battery on VIN.
Zero Current Comparator
The zero current comparator monitors the inductor current to the output and shuts off the synchronous rectifier
when this current reduces to approximately 20mA. This
prevents the inductor current from reversing in polarity,
improving efficiency at light loads.
Synchronous Rectifier
To control inrush current and to prevent the inductor
current from running away when VOUT is close to VIN, the
P-channel MOSFET synchronous rectifier is only enabled
when VOUT > (VIN + 0.24V).
Thermal Shutdown
If the die temperature exceeds 160°C, the LTC3528B-2
enters thermal shutdown. All switches will be turned off
and the soft-start capacitor will be discharged. The device
will be enabled again when the die temperature drops by
approximately 15°C.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
VIN > VOUT OPERATION
soldered will help to lower the chip temperature. A multilayer board with a separate ground plane is ideal, but not
absolutely necessary.
The LTC3528B-2 maintains voltage regulation even when
the input voltage is above the desired output voltage. Note
that the efficiency is much lower in this mode, and the
maximum output current capability will be less. Refer to
the Typical Performance Characteristics.
COMPONENT SELECTION
Inductor Selection
The LTC3528B-2 can utilize small surface mount chip
inductors due to their fast 2MHz switching frequency.
Inductor values between 1.5μH and 3.3μH are suitable for
most applications. Larger values of inductance will allow
slightly greater output current capability by reducing the
inductor ripple current. Increasing the inductance above
10μH will increase size while providing little improvement
in output current capability.
SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The LTC3528B-2 output disconnect feature allows an output
short circuit while maintaining a maximum internally set
current limit. To reduce power dissipation under shortcircuit conditions, the peak switch current limit is reduced
to 750mA (typical).
SCHOTTKY DIODE
The minimum inductance value is given by:
Although not required, adding a Schottky diode from
SW to VOUT will improve efficiency by about 2%. Note
that this defeats the output disconnect and short-circuit
protection features.

LTC3528B-2
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The inductor current ripple is typically set for 20% to
40% of the maximum inductor current. High frequency
ferrite core inductor materials reduce frequency dependent
power losses compared to cheaper powdered iron types,
improving efficiency. The inductor should have low ESR
(series resistance of the windings) to reduce the I2R power
losses, and must be able to handle the peak inductor current
without saturating. Molded chokes and some chip inductors usually do not have enough core area to support the
peak inductor currents of 1.5A seen on the LTC3528B-2.
To minimize radiated noise, use a shielded inductor. See
Table 1 for suggested components and suppliers.

Output and Input Capacitor Selection
Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) capacitors should
be used to minimize the output voltage ripple. Multilayer
ceramic capacitors are an excellent choice as they have
extremely low ESR and are available in small footprints.
A 10μF to 22μF output capacitor is sufficient for most applications. Values larger than 22μF may be used to obtain
extremely low output voltage ripple and improve transient
response. X5R and X7R dielectric materials are preferred
for their ability to maintain capacitance over wide voltage
and temperature ranges. Y5V types should not be used.
The internal loop compensation of the LTC3528B-2 is
designed to be stable with output capacitor values of 10μF
or greater. Although ceramic capacitors are recommended,
low ESR tantalum capacitors may be used as well.
A small ceramic capacitor in parallel with a larger tantalum
capacitor may be used in demanding applications which
have large load transients. Another method of improving
the transient response is to add a small feed-forward
capacitor across the top resistor of the feedback divider
(from VOUT to FB). A typical value of 33pF will generally
suffice.
Low ESR input capacitors reduce input switching noise
and reduce the peak current drawn from the battery. It
follows that ceramic capacitors are also a good choice
for input decoupling and should be located as close as
possible to the device. A 10μF input capacitor is sufficient
for most applications. Larger values may be used without
limitations. Table 2 shows a list of several ceramic capacitor manufacturers. Consult the manufacturers directly for
detailed information on their selection of ceramic parts.
