FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
n
The LT®3479 is a current mode, fixed frequency step-up
DC/DC converter with an internal 3A, 42V switch. Efficiencies of up to 89% can be achieved in typical applications. It
features a programmable soft-start function to limit inductor current during start-up and inrush current protection
to protect the LT3479 during shorts and line transients.
Both inputs of the error amplifier are available to the user
allowing positive and negative output voltages. Through
an external resistor, the user can program the switching frequency from 200kHz to 3.5MHz. The low profile
(0.75mm) 14-pin, 4mm × 3mm DFN package provides
excellent thermal performance in a small footprint. The
LT3479 is also available in a thermally enhanced 16-pin
TSSOP package.

LT3479
OPERATION
The LT3479 uses a fixed frequency, current mode control
scheme to provide excellent line and load regulation. Operation can be best understood by referring to the Block
Diagram. The start of each oscillator cycle sets the SR latch
and turns on power switch Q1. The signal at the inverting
input of the PWM comparator (SLOPE) is proportional to
the sum of the switch current and oscillator ramp. When
SLOPE exceeds VC (the output of the feedback amplifier),
the PWM comparator resets the latch and turns off the
power switch. In this manner, the feedback amplifier and
PWM comparators set the correct peak current level to
keep the output in regulation.
The LT3479 also features a soft-start function. During
start-up, 10μA of current charges the external soft-start
capacitor. The SS pin directly limits the rate of voltage rise
on the VC pin, which in turn limits the peak switch current. The switch current is constantly monitored and not
allowed to exceed the nominal value of 3A. If the switch
current reaches 3A, the SR latch is reset regardless of the
output of the PWM comparator. Current limit protects the
power switch and external components.
Soft-start plays an important role in applications where the
switch will reach levels of 30V or higher. During startup,
an overshoot in the switch current together with the presence of high switch voltage can overstress the switch. A
properly used soft-start feature will greatly improve the
robustness of such designs.
In addition to soft-start, inrush current protection protects
the LT3479 against shorts and line transients. During such
faults, the inductor current can momentarily exceed 3A and
damage the switch. Through an internal 8.5mΩ resistor
placed in series with the inductor, the inrush current protection comparator measures the inductor current. If it exceeds
5A, a soft-start cycle is initiated. The LT3479 will remain in
the soft-start condition until the fault has passed.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Capacitor Selection
Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) ceramic capacitors should be used at the output to minimize the output
ripple voltage. Use only X5R or X7R dielectrics, as these
materials retain their capacitance over wider voltage and
temperature ranges better than other dielectrics. A 4.7μF
to 10μF output capacitor is sufficient for most high output
current designs. Converters with lower output currents
may need only a 1μF or 2.2μF output capacitor.

Inductor Selection
can pass a current larger than its rated value without
damaging it. Aggressive designs where board space is
precious will exceed the maximum current rating of the
inductor to save board space. Consult each manufacturer
to determine how the maximum inductor current is
measured and how much more current the inductor can
reliably conduct.
Physically larger inductors provide better efficiency than
smaller ones. Figure 1 shows a 3% to 4% efficiency gain
in using a larger inductor in a 1MHz, 5V to 12V application.
The efficiency of the TOKO FDV0630-4R7M, which measures 7mm × 7.7mm and 3 mm thick, peaks at 87%. The
smaller Sumida CDRH4D28-4R7 which is 5mm × 5mm and
3mm thick yields a peak efficiency of 85% in an identical
application. Thus, if board space is abundant, then larger
inductors should be used to maximize efficiency.
90
Several inductors that work well with the LT3479 are listed
in Table 2. However, there are many other manufacturers
and devices that can be used. Consult each manufacturer
for more detailed information and their entire range of
parts. Ferrite core inductors should be used to obtain the
best efficiency. Choose an inductor that can handle the
necessary peak current without saturating, and ensure
that the inductor has a low DCR (copper-wire resistance)
to minimize I2R power losses. A 4.7μH or 10μH inductor
will suffice for most LT3479 applications.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Diode Selection
Setting Negative Output Voltages
Schottky diodes, with their low forward voltage drop and
fast switching speed, are ideal for LT3479 applications.
Table 3 lists several Schottky diodes that work well with the
LT3479. The diode’s average current rating must exceed
the average output current. The diode’s maximum reverse
voltage must exceed the output voltage. The diode conducts
current only when the power switch is turned off (typically
less than 50% duty cycle), so a 3A diode is sufficient for
most designs. The companies below also offer Schottky
diodes with high voltage and current ratings.
To set a negative output voltage, select the values of R3 and
R4 (see Figure 3) according to the following equation:

Board Layout
As with all switching regulators, careful attention must
be paid to the PCB board layout and component placement. To maximize efficiency, switch rise and fall times
are made as short as possible. To prevent radiation and
high frequency resonance problems, proper layout of the
high frequency switching path is essential. Minimize the
length and area of all traces connected to the SW pin and
always use a ground plane under the switching regulator
to minimize interplane coupling. The signal path including
the switch, output diode D1 and output capacitor COUT,
contains nanosecond rise and fall times and should be
kept as short as possible. Recommended component
placement is shown in Figure 4.

Soft-Start
For many applications, it is necessary to minimize the
inrush current at start-up. The built-in soft-start circuit
significantly reduces the start-up current spike and output
voltage overshoot. A typical value is 10nF for 1.65ms.
Figure 5 shows the start-up output voltage and inductor current waveforms in a typical application without a
soft-start capacitor. Notice the output voltage overshoot
and the large initial current. The addition of a 22nF capacitor eliminates the output overshoot and reduces the peak
inductor current (Figure 6).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Increasing switching frequency reduces output voltage
ripple but also reduces efficiency. The user should set
the frequency for the maximum tolerable output voltage
ripple. Figure 8 shows a reduction in efficiency of about
4% between 1MHz and 2MHz operation in a typical
application.
Inrush Current Protection
The LT3479 features a novel inductor current sensing
circuit that protects the LT3479 during hot plugging and
short circuits. An internal resistor in series with the external inductor senses the inductor current at all times.
When it exceeds 5A, a soft-start cycle is initiated. Figure 9
shows an output overload with inrush current protection
disabled. Notice that soft-start remains high, and that
the inductor current does not return to zero. Figure 10
illustrates the benefits of inrush current protection. The
output short initiates a new soft start cycle reducing the
inductor current. After the fault has passed, the inductor
current slowly returns to its equilibrium value. To ensure
bond wire integrity, the inductor current should not exceed
8A for more than 10ms.
Bypassing the 8.5mΩ inductor current sense resistor
disables inrush current protection. Connect the inductor
supply trace and bypass capacitor to the L pin and leave
the VS pin open to disable this feature.
