Final Electrical Specifications LT1308 Single Cell High Current Micropower 600kHz Boost DC/DC Converter January 1998 U DESCRIPTION FEATURES ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ 5V at 1A from a Single Li-Ion Cell 3.3V at 300mA from a Single NiCd Cell Low Quiescent Current: 100µA Operates with VIN as Low as 1V Fixed Frequency Operation: 600kHz Current Mode PWM Delivers Low Output Ripple Guaranteed Start-Up into Full Load Low Shutdown Current: 3µA Low-Battery Comparator Automatic Burst ModeTM Operation at Light Load Low VCESAT Switch: 300mV at 2A U APPLICATIONS ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ The device contains a low-battery detector with a 200mV reference and shuts down to less than 5µA quiescent current. No-load quiescent current is 100µA and the internal NPN power switch handles a 2A current with a voltage drop of just 300mV. High frequency 600kHz switching allows the use of small, surface mount components. The LT1308’s current mode architecture provides fast response to load and line variations. The device is available in an 8-lead SO package.

You will not get advertised performance with careless layouts. Figure 2 shows recommended component placement. Follow this closely in your PC layout. Note the direct path of the switching loops. Input capacitor CIN must be placed close (< 5mm) to the IC package. As little as 10mm of wire or PC trace from CIN to VIN will cause problems such as inability to regulate or oscillation. A 10µF ceramic bypass capacitor is the only input capacitance required provided the battery has a low inductance path to the circuit. The battery itself provides the bulk capacitance the device requires for proper operation.

Trace Area at FB Pin and VC Pin is Kept Low. Lead Length to Battery Should Be Kept Short. Ground Plane Should Be Placed Under All Components 5 LT1308 U U W U APPLICATIONS INFORMATION distance from the circuit, an additional input capacitor may be required. A 220µF aluminum electrolytic unit works well in these cases. This capacitor need not have low ESR. OPERATION FROM A LABORATORY POWER SUPPLY If a lab supply is used, the leads used to connect the circuit to the supply can have significant inductance at the LT1308’s switching frequency. As in the previous situation, an electrolytic capacitor may be required at the circuit in order to reduce the AC impedance of the input sufficiently. An alternative solution is to attach the circuit directly to the power supply at the supply terminals, without the use of leads. The power supply’s output capacitance will then provide the bulk capacitance the LT1308 circuit requires. tive input of the gain stage is tied internally to a 200mV reference. The positive input is the LBI pin. Arrangement as a low-battery detector is straightforward. Figure 4 details hookup. R1 and R2 need only be low enough in value so that the bias current of the LBI pin doesn’t cause large errors. For R2, 100k is adequate. The 200mV reference can also be accessed as shown in Figure 5. 3.3V R1 VIN LBI LT1308 1M + LBO R2 100k TO PROCESSOR – 200mV INTERNAL REFERENCE GND VBAT R1 = SHUTDOWN PIN VLB – 200mV 2µA 1308 F04 The LT1308 has a shutdown pin (SHDN) that must be grounded to shut the device down or tied to a voltage equal or greater than VIN to operate. The shutdown circuit is shown in Figure 3. Note that allowing SHDN to float turns on both the startup current (Q2) and the shutdown current (Q3) for VIN > 2VBE. The LT1308 doesn’t know what to do in this situation and behaves erratically. SHDN voltage above VIN is allowed. This merely reverse-biases Q3’s base emitter junction, a benign condition. Figure 4.

Figure 6 details a Li-Ion to 5V converter circuit using frequency compensation optimized for a typical GSM pulsed load. Figure 7 details transient response of Figure 6’s circuit with a 100mA to 1A pulsed load. A slower time sweep is used to show several transmit pulses in Figure 8. At a VIN of 2.7V, additional output capacitance is recommended to help minimize VOUT droop. Figure 9 shows VOUT with an input voltage of 2.7V. Figure 10 expands the horizontal sweep speed to 500µs/division to show detail of one transmit pulse. LT1308 U U W U APPLICATIONS INFORMATION DECT PHONES VIN = 2.7V The DECT standard specifies a transmit pulse 416µs in duration. The LT1308 is capable of delivering a 400mA pulse load from a 1.2V input with output capacitance of 100µF. Figure 11 depicts VOUT transient response of Figure 6’s circuit, configured for a 3.3V output by changing resistor R1 to 169k. Figure 12 shows detail of one transmit pulse at a higher sweep speed.
