The LT®3495/LT3495B/LT3495-1/LT3495B-1 are low noise
boost converters with integrated power switch, feedback
resistor and output disconnect circuitry. The parts control
power delivery by varying both the peak inductor current
and switch off-time. This novel* control scheme results
in low output voltage ripple as well as high efficiency
over a wide load range. For the LT3495/LT3495-1, the
off-time of the switch is not allowed to exceed a fixed
level, guaranteeing the switching frequency stays above
the audio band for the entire load range. The parts feature
a high performance NPN power switch with a 650mA
and 350mA current limit for the LT3495/LT3495B and
LT3495-1/LT3495B-1 respectively. The quiescent current
is a low 60µA, which is further reduced to less than 0.1µA
in shutdown. The internal disconnect circuitry allows the
output voltage to be isolated from the input during shutdown. An auxiliary reference input (CTRL pin) overrides
the internal 1.235V feedback reference with any lower
value allowing full control of the output voltage during
operation. The LT3495 series are available in a tiny 10-lead
3mm × 2mm DFN package.

LT3495-1/LT3495B-1
OPERATION
The LT3495 series utilizes a variable peak current, variable
off-time control scheme to provide high efficiency over a
wide range of output current.
The operation of the part can be better understood by
referring to the Block Diagram. The part senses the output
voltage by monitoring the voltage on the FB pin. The user
sets the desired output voltage by choosing the value of
the external top feedback resistor. The parts incorporate
a precision 76k bottom feedback resistor. Assuming that
output voltage adjustment is not used (CTRL pin is tied to
1.5V or greater), the internal reference (VREF = 1.235V) sets
the voltage at which FB will servo to during regulation.
The Switch Control block senses the output of the amplifier and adjusts the switching frequency as well as other
parameters to achieve regulation. During the start-up of
the circuit, special precautions are taken to ensure that
the inductor current remains under control.
For the LT3495/LT3495-1, the switching frequency is never
allowed to fall below approximately 45kHz. Because of this,
a minimum load must be present to prevent the output
voltage from drifting too high. For most applications, this
minimum load is automatically generated within the part
via the Shunt Control block. The level of this current is
adaptable, removing itself when not needed to improve
efficiency at higher load levels. However when the input
voltage and output voltage are close, the internal shunt
current may not be large enough. Under this condition,
a minimum output load is required to prevent the output
voltage from drifting too high.
For the LT3495B/B-1, the minimum switching frequency
feature is disabled and the switching frequency can be as
low as zero. As a result, the output voltage will never drift
high and no minimum output load is required.
The LT3495 series also has a PMOS output disconnect
switch. The PMOS switch is turned on when the part is
enabled via the SHDN pin. When the parts are in shutdown,
the PMOS switch turns off, allowing the VOUT node to go to
ground. This type of disconnect function is often required
in power supplies.
The LT3495 series also sets a maximum switch on time of
10µs. This feature guarantees that the parts can continue
to deliver energy to the output even if the input supply
impedance becomes so large that the commanded peak
switch current is never reached.
The difference between the LT3495/LT3495B and LT3495-1/
LT3495B-1 is the level of the current limit. LT3495/LT3495B
have a typical peak current limit of 650mA while the
LT3495-1/LT3495B-1 have a typical peak current limit of
350mA. The differences between the LT3495 and LT3495B/
LT3495-1/LT3495B-1 are listed in Table 1.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Inductor Selection
Several inductors that work well with the LT3495/LT3495B
are listed in Table 2 and those for the LT3495-1/LT3495B-1
are listed in Table 3. These tables are not complete, and
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,
as many different sizes and shapes are available.
Inductors with a value of 3.3µH or higher are recommended
for most LT3495 series designs. Inductors with low core
losses and small DCR (copper wire resistance) are good
choices for LT3495 series applications. For full output
power, the inductor should have a saturation current rating
higher than the peak inductor current. The peak inductor
current can be calculated as:
IPK =ILIMIT +
VIN • 200 •10
L
–9
amps
where ILIMIT is 0.65A and 0.35A for LT3495/LT3495B and
LT3495-1/LT3495B-1 respectively. L is the inductance
value in Henrys and VIN is the input voltage to the boost
circuit.

Capacitor Selection
The small size and low ESR of ceramic capacitors makes
them suitable for most LT3495 series applications. X5R
and X7R types are recommended because they retain
their capacitance over wider voltage and temperature
ranges than other types such as Y5V or Z5U. A 4.7µF
input capacitor and a 1µF to 10µF output capacitor are
sufficient for most applications. Always use a capacitor
with a sufficient voltage rating. Many capacitors rated at
1µF to 10µF, particularly 0603 case sizes, have greatly
reduced capacitance when bias voltages are applied. Be
sure to check actual capacitance at the desired output
voltage. Generally a 0805 or 1206 size capacitor will be
adequate. A 2.2µF capacitor placed on the CAP node is
recommended to filter the inductor current while a 1µF to
10µF capacitor placed on the VOUT node will give excellent
transient response and stability. Table 4 shows a list of
several capacitor manufacturers. Consult the manufacturers for more detailed information and for their entire
selection of related parts.

Diode Selection
Schottky diodes, with their low forward voltage drops and
fast switching speeds, are recommended for use with the
LT3495 series. The Diodes Inc. B0540WS-7 is a very good
choice. This diode is rated to handle an average forward
current of 0.5A with 40V reverse breakdown.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Setting Output Voltage and the Auxiliary Reference
Input
The LT3495 series is equipped with both an internal
1.235V reference and an auxiliary reference input. This
allows the user to select between using the built-in reference and supplying an external reference voltage. The
voltage at the CTRL pin can be adjusted while the chip is
operating to alter the output voltage for purposes such
as display dimming or contrast adjustment. To use the
internal 1.235V reference, the CTRL pin must be held
higher than 1.5V. When the CTRL pin is held between 0V
and 1.235V, the parts will regulate the output such that
the FB pin voltage is nearly equal to the CTRL pin voltage.
At CTRL voltages close to 1.235V, a soft transition occurs
between the CTRL pin and the internal reference. Figure 1
shows this behavior.
To set the maximum output voltage, select the values of
R1 according to the following equation:
⎛V
⎞
R1= 76 • ⎜ OUT – 1⎟ kΩ
⎝ 1.235 ⎠
When CTRL is used to override the internal reference,
the output voltage can be lowered from the maximum
value down to nearly the input voltage level. If the voltage source driving the CTRL pin is located at a distance
to the LT3495, a small 0.1µF capacitor may be needed to
bypass the pin locally.
Choosing a Feedback Node
The single feedback resistor may be connected to the
VOUT pin or to the CAP pin (see Figure 2). Regulating the
VOUT pin eliminates the output offset resulting from the
voltage drop across the output disconnect PMOS. Regulating the CAP pin does not compensate for the voltage
drop across the output disconnect, resulting in an output
voltage VOUT that is slightly lower than the voltage set by
the resistor divider. Under most conditions, it is advised
that the feedback resistor be tied to the VOUT pin.
Connecting the Load to the CAP Node
The efficiency of the converter can be improved by connecting the load to the CAP pin instead of the VOUT pin.
The power loss in the PMOS disconnect circuit is then
made negligible. By connecting the feedback resistor to
the VOUT pin, no quiescent current will be consumed in the
feedback resistor string during shutdown since the PMOS
transistor will be open (see Figure 3). The disadvantage
of this method is that the CAP node cannot go to ground
during shutdown, but will be limited to around a diode
drop below VCC. Loads connected to the part should only
sink current. Never force external power supplies onto
the CAP or VOUT pins.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Maximum Output Load Current
Inrush Current
The maximum output current of a particular LT3495 series
circuit is a function of several circuit variables. The following method can be helpful in predicting the maximum
load current for a given circuit:
When VCC is stepped from ground to the operating voltage
while the output capacitor is discharged, a higher level of
inrush current may flow through the inductor and Schottky
diode into the output capacitor. Conditions that increase
inrush current include a larger more abrupt voltage step
at VIN, a larger output capacitor tied to the CAP pin and an
inductor with a low saturation current. While the chip is
designed to handle such events, the inrush current should
not be allowed to exceed 1.5A. For circuits that use output
capacitor values within the recommended range and have
input voltages of less than 5V, inrush current remains low,
posing no hazard to the device. In cases where there are
large steps at VCC (more than 5V) and/or a large capacitor
is used at the CAP pin, inrush current should be measured
to ensure safe operation.
Step 1: Calculate the peak inductor current:
IPK =ILIMIT +
VIN • 200 •10 –9
amps
L
where ILIMIT is 0.65A and 0.35A for LT3495/LT3495B and
LT3495-1/LT3495B-1 respectively. L is the inductance
value in Henrys and VIN is the input voltage to the boost
circuit.
Step 2: Calculate the inductor ripple current:
IRIPPLE
VOUT +1– VIN ) • 200 •10 –9
(
=
amps
L
where VOUT is the desired output voltage. If the inductor
ripple current is greater than the peak current, then the
circuit will only operate in discontinuous conduction mode.
The inductor value should be increased so that IRIPPLE < IPK.
An application circuit can be designed to operate only in
discontinuous mode, but the output current capability
will be reduced.
Soft-Start
By connecting the SHDN and CTRL pins as shown in
Figure 4, using an RC filter at the CTRL pin to limit the
start-up current, the LT3495 is able to achieve soft-start.
The small bias current of the CTRL pin allows using a
small capacitor for a large RC time constant. The softstart waveform is shown in Figure 5. The soft-start time

For low output voltages the output current capability will
be increased. When using output disconnect (load current taken from VOUT), these higher currents will cause
the drop in the PMOS switch to be higher resulting in
reduced output current capability than those predicted
by the preceding equations.

can be set by the value of RCTRL and CCTRL. The following
expression can be used to design the soft-start time:
Also be aware of the thermal dissipation in the PMOS at
all times. In addition, if the input voltage is more than 8V,
the PMOS will turn on during shutdown, resulting in the
output voltage no longer being blocked from the input.
Under this condition, the output voltage will be about 8V
lower than the input voltage.
⎛
⎞
VSHDN
TSTART−UP = RCTRL • CCTRL •In ⎜
⎟
⎝ VSHDN – 1.235 ⎠
where VSHDN is the voltage at SHDN pin when the part is
enabled. To ensure soft-start will work, the initial voltage
at CTRL pin when the part is enabled should be close to
0V. The soft-start may not work if this initial condition is
not satisfied.
Board Layout Considerations
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 electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems, proper layout of the high frequency
switching path is essential. The voltage signal of the
SW pin has sharp rising and falling edges. 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. In addition, the FB pin
feeds into the internal error amplifier and is sensitive to
noise. Minimizing the length and area of all traces to this
pin is recommended. Connect the feedback resistor R1
directly from the VOUT pin to the FB pin and keep the trace
as short as possible. Recommended component placement
is shown in Figure 6.
Output Disconnect
The LT3495 series has an output disconnect PMOS that
blocks the load from the input during shutdown. During
normal operation, the maximum current through the PMOS
is limited by circuitry inside the chip. When the CAP and
VOUT voltage difference is more than 8.7V (typ), the current through the PMOS is no longer limited, and can be
much higher. As a result, forcing 8.7V or higher voltage
from the CAP to the VOUT pins can damage the PMOS.
In cases when the CAP voltage is high and/or a large capacitor is used at the CAP pin, shorting VOUT to GND can
cause large PMOS currents to flow. Under this condition,
the PMOS peak current should be kept at less than 1A.
