16-Lead, 0.75mm × 3mm × 3mm QFN Package
The LTC3527/LTC3527-1 limit inrush current during startup. Selectable 1.2MHz or 2.2MHz operation provides a
choice between the highest efficiency or smallest solution footprint. The current mode PWM design is internally
compensated reducing external parts count. Burst Mode
operation or fixed frequency operation is selectable via the
MODE pin. Anti-ring circuitry reduces EMI in discontinuous
mode. This device also features thermal shutdown.
True output disconnect allows the output to be completely
open in shutdown. The LTC3527-1 actively discharges
VOUT1 or VOUT2 when its respective SHDN goes low. Quiescent current in shutdown is less than 2μA.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The LTC3527E/LTC3527E-1 are guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C
operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 3: Current is measured into the VOUT pin since the supply current is
bootstrapped to the output. The current will reflect to the input supply by:
(VOUT /VIN) • (1/Efficiency). All switches are off.

Note 4: Specification is guaranteed by design and not 100% tested in
production.
Note 5: The LTC3527/LTC3527-1 includes an overtemperature shutdown
that is intended to protect the device during momentary overload
conditions. Junction temperature will exceed 125°C when the overtemperature shutdown is active. Continuous operation above the specified
maximum junction temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 6: The NMOS and PMOS switch leakage currents are tested in parallel
for the LTC3527-1 because VOUT1,2 are actively pulled to ground when
SHDN1,2 = 0V

LTC3527/LTC3527-1
OPERATION
(Refer to Block Diagram)
The LTC3527/LTC3527-1 are dual 1.2MHz/2.2MHz synchronous boost converters housed in a 16-lead 3mm ×
3mm QFN package. With the ability to start up and operate
from inputs less than 880mV, these devices feature 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, requiring minimal output filtering. Internal
soft-start and loop compensation simplifies the design
process while minimizing the number of external components. Each converter has a separate input supply pin
and is operated independently of the other, but they share
the same oscillator thus providing in-phase switching.
If different input supply voltages are used, the third VIN
pin must be wired to the higher of the two supplies and
each VOUT must be higher than the highest VIN. Bypass
capacitors are recommended on all VIN pins.
With low RDS(ON) and low gate charge internal N-channel
MOSFET switches and P-channel MOSFET synchronous
rectifiers, the LTC3527/LTC3527-1 achieve high efficiency
over a wide range of load current. With the MODE pin low,
automatic Burst Mode operation maintains high efficiency
at very light loads, reducing the quiescent current to just
12μA. If MODE is high, fixed frequency PWM switching
provides low voltage ripple on the outputs. Operation can
be best understood by referring to the Block Diagram.
current limiting are provided to each converter independently during start-up, as well as during normal mode.
When VIN, VOUT1, or VOUT2 exceeds 1.4V (typical), the IC
enters normal operating mode. Once the higher of VOUT1
or VOUT2 exceeds VIN by 0.24V, the IC powers itself from
the higher 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.
With single-cell operation, the limiting factor for the application becomes the availability of the power source to
supply sufficient energy to the outputs at low voltages, and
maximum duty cycle, which is clamped at 90% (typical).
Note that at low input voltages, small voltage drops due
to the higher series resistance of a depleted cell become
critical and greatly limit the power delivery capability of
the converter. A higher value, low ESR input capacitor can
help to improve this to a small degree.
Low Noise Fixed Frequency Operation
A PGOOD signal is provided independently for each converter which can be used with the SHDN pins to provide
sequencing of the outputs.
Soft-Start: The LTC3527/LTC3527-1 contain internal circuitry to provide independent soft-start operation to each
converter. The soft-start circuitry ramps the peak inductor
current from zero to its peak value of 900mA (typical)
for converter 1 or 500mA (typical) for converter 2 in approximately 0.5ms, allowing start-up into heavy loads. The
soft-start circuitry for both converters is reset in the event
of a thermal shutdown or shutdown command.
The LTC3527-1 provides an instant off feature which
discharges VOUT1 or VOUT2 when their respective SHDN
pins go low.
Oscillator: An internal oscillator sets the switching frequency to 1.2MHz if the FSEL pin is below 0.35V, or 2.2MHz
if the FSEL pin is above 0.88V.
A frequency select function allows for 1.2MHz switching
(FSEL = Low) or 2.2MHz switching (FSEL = High).
Shutdown: Shutdown is accomplished independently for
each converter by pulling its respective SHDN pin below
0.35V, and enabled by pulling each SHDN pin above
0.88V. Note that the SHDN pins can be driven above VIN
or VOUT, as long as it is limited to less than the absolute
maximum rating.
Low Voltage Start-Up
The LTC3527/LTC3527-1 include an independent start-up
oscillator designed to start up at an input voltage of 0.7V
(typical). The two converters can be started together or
in either sequence of boost 1 and boost 2 with appropriate control of SHDN1 and SHDN2. Soft-start and inrush
Error Amplifier: The noninverting input of each
transconductance error amplifier is internally connected
to the 1.20V reference. The inverting inputs are connected
35271fc
10
LTC3527/LTC3527-1
OPERATION
to FB1 for converter 1 and FB2 for converter 2. Clamps
limit the minimum and maximum error amp output voltages for improved large-signal transient response. Power
converter control loop compensation is provided internally.
An external resistive voltage divider from VOUT1 (VOUT2)
to ground programs the respective output voltage via FB1
(FB2) from 1.6V to 5.25V.
⎡ R1 ⎤
VOUT1 = 1 . 20 V • ⎢1 + ⎥
⎣ R2 ⎦
⎡ R3 ⎤
VOUT2 = 1 . 20 V • ⎢1 + ⎥ (See Block Diagram)
⎣ R4 ⎦
Current Sensing: Lossless current sensing converts the
peak current signal of each N-channel MOSFET switch
into a voltage which is summed with its corresponding
internal slope compensation. The summed signals are
compared to their respective error amplifier outputs to
provide individual peak current control commands for the
PWM of each converter.
Current Limit: The current limit comparators shut off
the N-channel MOSFET switches once their threshold
is reached. Each current limit comparator delay time to
output is typically 60ns. Peak switch current is limited
to approximately 900mA for converter 1 and 500mA for
converter 2, independent of input or output voltage. If
VOUT1 or VOUT2 falls below 1V, its respective current limit
is cut in half.
Zero Current Comparator: The zero current comparators
monitor the inductor current to the outputs and shut off
the synchronous rectifiers when the current reduces to approximately 30mA. 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 currents from running away when
VOUT1 or VOUT2 is close to VIN, the P-channel MOSFET
synchronous rectifiers are only enabled when their respective VOUT > (VIN + 0.24V).
Anti-Ringing Control: The anti-ringing control connects a
resistor across the inductor to prevent high frequency ringing on the SW1 (SW2) pins during discontinuous current
mode operation. Although the ringing of the resonant circuit
formed by the inductors and CSW (capacitance on SW1 or
SW2 pins) is low energy, it can cause EMI radiation.
Output Disconnect: The LTC3527/LTC3527-1 are designed
to allow true output disconnect by eliminating body diode
conduction of the internal P-channel MOSFET rectifiers.
This allows VOUT1 and VOUT2 to go to zero volts during
shutdown, drawing no current from the input source. It
also allows for inrush current limiting at turn-on, minimizing surge currents seen by the input supply. Note that to
obtain the advantages of output disconnect, there must
not be external Schottky diodes connected between the
SW1 (SW2) pins and VOUT1 (VOUT2). The output disconnect feature also allows VOUT1 or VOUT2 to be pulled high,
without any reverse current into a battery on VIN.
Thermal Shutdown: If the die temperature exceeds 160°C,
the device will go into thermal shutdown. All switches
will be turned off and the soft-start capacitors will be
discharged. The device will be enabled again when the
die temperature drops by about 15°C.
Burst Mode Operation
To realize the efficiency benefits of Burst Mode operation,
both VOUT1 and VOUT2 must be under a light load current
condition, if they are both enabled. If one converter is shut
down, then Burst Mode operation is enabled on the other
converter. With the MODE pin low, the LTC3527/LTC3527-1
will automatically enter Burst Mode operation at light load
and return to fixed frequency PWM mode when the load
increases. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics
to see the Output Load Burst Mode Threshold Current vs
VIN. The load current at which Burst Mode operation is
entered can be changed by adjusting the inductor value.
Raising the inductor value will lower the load current at
which Burst Mode is operation entered.
In Burst Mode operation, the LTC3527/LTC3527-1 still
switch at a fixed frequency of 1.2MHz (FSEL = 0) or 2.2MHz
(FSEL = 1), using the same error amplifier and loop compensation for peak current mode control. This control method
eliminates the output transient when switching between
modes. In Burst Mode operation, energy is delivered to the
35271fc
11
LTC3527/LTC3527-1
OPERATION
output until it reaches the nominal regulation value, then
the LTC3527/LTC3527-1 transition to sleep mode where
the outputs are off and the LTC3527/LTC3527-1 consume
only 12μA of quiescent current from the higher of VOUT1 or
VOUT2. When the output voltage droops slightly, switching
resumes. This maximizes efficiency at very light loads by
minimizing switching and quiescent current losses. Burst
Mode output voltage ripple, which is typically 1% peak-topeak, can be reduced by using more output capacitance
(10μF or greater), or with a small capacitor (15pF) connected between VOUT1 (VOUT2) and FB1 (FB2).
If either load current increases, the LTC3527/LTC3527-1
will automatically leave Burst Mode operation. Note that
larger output capacitor values may cause this transition
to occur at lighter loads. Once the LTC3527/LTC3527-1
have left Burst Mode operation and returned to normal
operation, they will remain there until both output loads
are reduced below the burst threshold current.
Burst Mode operation is inhibited during start-up and softstart and until both VOUT1 and VOUT2 are at least 0.24V
greater than VIN if neither channel is in shutdown.
When the MODE pin is high, LTC3527/LTC3527-1 feature
continuous PWM fixed frequency operation at 1.2MHz
(FSEL = Low) or 2.2MHz (FSEL = High). At very light
loads, the LTC3527/LTC3527-1 will exhibit pulse-skipping
operation.
Single Cell to 5V Step-Up Applications
Due to the high inductor current slew rate in applications boosting to 5V from a single-cell (alkaline, NiCd
or NiMH), the LTC3527/LTC3527-1 may not enter Burst
Mode operation at input voltages below 1.5V in a 2.2MHz
application (FSEL = high). For a single-cell to 5V application requiring Burst Mode 1.2MHz operation, (FSEL =
low) is recommended. Refer to the Typical Performance
Characteristics for the Burst Mode thresholds for different
input and output voltages.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
VIN > VOUT Operation
Short-Circuit Protection
The LTC3527/LTC3527-1 will maintain output voltage
regulation even when the input voltage is above one or
both of the desired output voltages. Note, all VINS must
be common to support this mode of operation. Since
this mode is less efficient and will dissipate more power
in the LTC3527/LTC3527-1, the maximum output current
capability is limited in order to maintain an acceptable
junction temperature. When operating with VIN > VOUT
the power is defined by:
The LTC3527/LTC3527-1 output disconnect feature allows
an output short-circuit while maintaining a maximum internally set current limit. The converters also incorporate
internal features such as current limit foldback and thermal
shutdown for protection from an excessive overload or
short circuit. To reduce power dissipation under shortcircuit conditions, the peak switch current limit is reduced
to 500mA (typical) for converter 1 and 350mA (typical)
for converter 2 when VOUT is less than 1V.
POUT = IOUT ⎡⎣( VIN + 1 . 5) − VOUT ⎤⎦
To maintain a junction temperature below 125°C, the following formula must be adhered to:
(POUT1 + POUT 2 ) 68 °C / W = 125 − TA
Schottky Diode
Although it is not required, adding a Schottky diode from
SW1 (SW2) to VOUT1 (VOUT2) will improve efficiency by
about 2%. Note that this defeats the output disconnect
and short-circuit protection features.

PCB Layout Guidelines
The minimum inductance value is given by:
The high speed operation of the LTC3527/LTC3527-1
demands careful attention to board layout. A careless
layout will result in reduced performance. Figure 1 shows
the recommended component placement. A large ground
pin copper area will help to lower the die temperature. A
multilayer board with a separate ground plane is ideal, but
not absolutely necessary.

f • Ripple • VOUT(MAX )
where:
Ripple = Allowable inductor current ripple (amps
peak-to-peak)
VIN(MIN) = Minimum input voltage
VOUT(MAX) = Maximum output voltage
f = Oscillator frequency (MHz)
COMPONENT SELECTION
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 support 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 900mA (500mA)
seen on the LTC3527/LTC3527-1. To minimize radiated
noise, use shielded inductors. See Table 1 for suggested
components and suppliers.
Inductor Selection
The LTC3527/LTC3527-1 can utilize small surface mount
inductors due to their fast 1.2MHz/2.2MHz switching
frequencies. Inductor values between 3.3μH and 4.7μH
are suitable for most 1.2MHz applications. Inductor values
between 1.5μH and 2.2μH are suitable for most 2.2MHz
applications. Larger values of inductance will allow slightly
greater output current capability (and lower the Burst
Mode threshold) by reducing the inductor ripple current. Increasing the inductance above 10μH will increase
size while providing little improvement in output current
capability.

Output and Input Capacitor Selection
Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) capacitors should
be used to minimize output voltage ripple. Multilayer
ceramic capacitors are an excellent choice as they have
extremely low ESR and are available in small footprints.
A 4.7μF to 10μF output capacitor is sufficient for most
applications. Larger values up to 22μF may be used to
obtain lower 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 LTC3527/
LTC3527-1 is designed to be stable with output capacitor
values of 4.7μF 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 improv-
ing the transient response is to add a small feedforward
capacitor across the top resistor of the feedback divider
[from VOUT1 (VOUT2) to FB1 (FB2)]. A typical value of 15pF
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 2.2μF input capacitor is sufficient for most
applications, although 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.
