It has the capability to support up to 1A output current over the output voltage range. The LM3668 regulates the output voltage over the complete input voltage range by automatically switching between buck or boost modes depending on the input voltage. The LM3668 has 2 N-channel MOSFETS and 2 Pchannel MOSFETS arranged in a topology that provides continuous operation through the buck and boost operating modes. There is a MODE pin that allows the user to choose between an intelligent automatic PFM-PWM mode operation and forced PWM operation. During PWM mode, a fixedfrequency 2.2MHz (typ.) is used. PWM mode drives load up to 1A. Hysteretic PFM mode extends the battery life through reduction of the quiescent current to 45µA (typ.) at light loads during system standby. Internal synchronous rectification provides high efficiency. In shutdown mode (Enable pin pulled low) the device turns off and reduces battery consumption to 0.01µA (typ.). The LM3668 is available in a 12-pin WSON package. A high switching frequency of 2.2MHz (typ.) allows the use of tiny surface-mount components including a 2.2µH inductor, a 10µF input capacitor, and a 22µF output capacitor. 1 2 Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of Texas Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

Using a voltage mode architecture with synchronous rectification, the LM3668 has the ability to deliver up to 1A depending on the input voltage, output voltage, ambient temperature and the chosen inductor. In addition, the device incorporates a seamless transition from buck-to-boost or boost-to-buck mode. The internal error amplifier continuously monitors the output to determine the transition from buck-to-boost or boost-to-buck operation. Figure 46 shows the four switches network used for the buck and boost operation. Table 1 summarizes the state of the switches in different modes. There are three modes of operation depending on the current required: PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), PFM (Pulse Frequency Modulation), and shutdown. The device operates in PWM mode at load currents of approximately 80mA or higher to improve efficiency. Lighter load current causes the device to automatically switch into PFM mode to reduce current consumption and extend battery life. Shutdown mode turns off the device, offering the lowest current consumption. VIN VOUT P1 P2 SW1 SW2 N1 N2 Figure 46. Simplified Diagram of Switches Table 1.

Figure 48 shows the simplified circuit for boost mode operation. P1 SW1 P2 SW2 VIN + - Load N2 Figure 48. Simplified Circuit for Boost Operation PWM OPERATION In PWM operation, the output voltage is regulated by switching at a constant frequency and then modulating the energy per cycle to control power to the load. In Normal operation, the internal error amplifier provides an error signal, Vc, from the feedback voltage and Vref. The error amplifier signal, Vc, is compared with a voltage, Vcenter, and used to generate the PWM signals for both Buck & Boost modes. Signal Vcenter is a DC signal which sets the transition point of the buck and boost modes. Below are three regions of operation: • Region I: If Vc is less than Vcenter, Buck mode. • Region II: If Vc and Vcenter are equal, both PMOS switches (P1, P2) are on and both NMOS switches (N1, N2) are off. The power passes directly from input to output via P1 & P2 • Region III: If Vc is greater than Vcenter, Boost mode.

PWM Generator Block Diagram INTERNAL SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFICATION While in PWM mode, the LM3668 uses an internal MOSFET as a synchronous rectifier to reduce rectifier forward voltage drop and associated power loss. Synchronous rectification provides a significant improvement in efficiency whenever the output voltage is relatively low compare to the voltage drop across an ordinary rectifier diode. 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2007–2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM3668 LM3668 www.ti.com SNVS449L – JUNE 2007 – REVISED MARCH 2011 PFM OPERATION At very light loads, the converter enters PFM mode and operates with reduced switching frequency and supply current to maintain high efficiency. The part automatically transitions into PFM mode when either of two following conditions occur for a duration of 128 or more clock cycles: A. The inductor current reaches zero. B. The peak inductor current drops below the IMODE level, (Typically IMODE < 45mA + VIN/80 Ω ). In PFM operation, the compensation circuit in the error amplifier is turned off. The error amplifier works as a hysteretic comparator. The PFM comparator senses the output voltage via the feedback pin and controls the switching of the output FETs such that the output voltage ramps between ~0.8% and ~1.6% of the nominal PWM output voltage (Figure 50). If the output voltage is below the ‘high’ PFM comparator threshold, the P1 & P2 (Buck mode) or N2 & P1 (Boost mode) power switches are turned on. It remains on until the output voltage reaches the ‘high’ PFM threshold or the peak current exceeds the IPFM level set for PFM mode. The typical peak current in PFM mode is: IPFM = 220mA Once the P1 (Buck mode) or N2 (Boost mode) power switch is turned off, the N1 & P2 (Buck mode) or P1 & P2 (Boost mode) power switches are turned on until the inductor current ramps to zero. When the zero inductor current condition is detected, the N1(Buck mode) or P2 (Boost mode) power switches are turned off. If the output voltage is below the ‘high’ PFM comparator threshold, the P1 & P2 (Buck mode) or N2 & P1 (Boost mode) switches are again turned on and the cycle is repeated until the output reaches the desired level. Once the output reaches the ‘high’ PFM threshold, the N1 & P2 (Buck mode) or P1 & P2 (Boost mode) switches are turned on briefly to ramp the inductor current to zero, then both output switches are turned off and the part enters an extremely low power mode. Quiescent supply current during this ‘sleep’ mode is 45µA (typ), which allows the part to achieve high efficiency under extremely light load conditions.

PFM to PWM Mode Transition In addition to the auto mode transition, the LM3668 operates in PFM Buck or PFM Boost based on the following conditions. There is a small delta (~500mV) known as dv1(~200mV) & dv2(~300mV) when VOUT_TARGET is very close to VIN where the LM3668 can be in either Buck or Boost mode. For example, when VOUT_TARGET = 3.3V and VIN is between 3.1V & 3.6V, the LM3668 can be in either mode depending on the VIN vs VOUT_TARGET. • Region I: If VIN < VOUT_TARGET - dv1, the regulator operates in Boost mode. • Region II: If VOUT_TARGET - dv1 < VIN < VOUT_TARGET+ dv2 ,the regulator operates in either Buck or Boost mode.

VOUT vs VIN Transition In the buck PFM operation, P2 is always turned on and N2 is always turned off , P1 and N1 power switches are switching. P1 and N1 are turned off to enter " sleep mode" when the output voltage reaches the "high" comparator threshold. In boost PFM operation, P2 and N2 are switching. P1 is turned on and N1 is turned off when the output voltage is below the "high" threshold. Unlike in buck mode, all four power switches are turned off to enter "sleep" mode when the output voltage reaches the "high" threshold in boost mode. In addition, the internal current sensing of the IPFM is used to determine the precise condition to switch over to buck or boost mode via the PFM generator. CURRENT LIMIT PROTECTION The LM3668 has current limit protection to prevent excessive stress on itself and external components during overload conditions. The internal current limit comparator will disable the power device at a typical switch peak current limit of 1.85A(typ.). UNDERVOLTAGE PROTECTION The LM3668 has an UVP comparator to turn the power device off in case the input voltage or battery voltage is too low . The typical UVP threshold is around 2V. SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION When the output of the LM3668 is shorted to GND, the current limit is reduced to about half of the typical current limit value until the short is removed. SHUTDOWN When the EN pin is pulled low, P1 and P2 are off; N1 and N2 are turned on to pull SW1 and SW2 to ground. THERMAL SHUTDOWN The LM3668 has an internal thermal shutdown function to protect the die from excessive temperatures. The thermal shutdown trip point is typically 150°C; normal operation resumes when the temperature drops below 125°C. STARTUP The LM3668 has a soft-start circuit that smooth the output voltage and ramp current during startup. During startup the bandgap reference is slowly ramped up and switch current limit is reduced to half the typical value. Soft start is activated only if EN goes from logic low to logic high after VIN reaches 2.5V. The startup time thereby depends on the output capacitor and load current demanded at startup. It is not recommended to start up the device at full load while in soft-start. 16 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2007–2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM3668 LM3668 www.ti.com SNVS449L – JUNE 2007 – REVISED MARCH 2011 APPLICATION INFORMATION SYNC/MODE PIN If the SYNC/MODE pin is set high, the device is set to operate at PWM mode only. If SYNC/MODE pin is set low, the device is set to automatically transition from PFM to PWM or PWM to PFM depending on the load current. Do not leave this pin floating. The SYNC/MODE pin can also be driven by an external clock to set the desired switching frequency between 1.6MHz to 2.7MHz. VSEL PIN The LM3668 has built in logic for conveniently setting the output voltage, for example if VSEL high, the output is set to 3.3V; with VSEL low the output is set to 2.8V. It is not recommended to use this function for dynamically switching between 2.8V and 3.3V or switching at maximum load. MAXIMUM CURRENT The LM3668 is designed to operate up to 1A. For input voltages at 2.5V, the maximum operating current is 600mA and 800mA for 2.7V input voltage. In any mode it is recommended to avoid starting up the device at minimum input voltage and maximum load. Special attention must be taken to avoid operating near thermal shutdown when operating in boost mode at maximum load (1A). A simple calculation can be used to determine the power dissipation at the operating condition; PD-MAX = (TJ-MAX-OP – TA-MAX)/θJA. The LM3668 has thermal resistance θJA = 34°C/W (1) (2) and maximum operating ambient of 85°C. As a result, the maximum power dissipation using the above formula is around 1176mW. Refer to for PD-MAX value at different ambient temperatures. Dissipation Rating Table θJA 34°C/W (4 layers board per JEDEC standard) (1) (2) TA ≤ 25°C TA ≤ 60°C TA ≤ 85°C 2941mW 1912mW 1176mW In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may have to be derated. Maximum ambient temperature (TA-MAX) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ-MAX-OP = 125ºC), the maximum power dissipation of the device in the application (PD-MAX), and the junction-to ambient thermal resistance of the part/package in the application (θJA), as given by the following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP – (θJA × PD-MAX). All voltage is with respect to SGND. INDUCTOR SELECTION There are two main considerations when choosing an inductor: the inductor should not saturate, and the inductor current ripple should be small enough to achieve the desired output voltage ripple. Different saturation current rating specifications are followed by different manufacturers so attention must be given to details. Saturation current ratings are typically specified at 25°C. However, ratings at the maximum ambient temperature of application should be requested from the manufacturer. Shielded inductors radiate less noise and should be preferred. In the case of the LM3668, there are two modes (Buck & Boost) of operation that must be consider when selecting an inductor with appropriate saturation current. The saturation current should be greater than the sum of the maximum load current and the worst case average to peak inductor current. The first equation shows the buck mode operation for worst case conditions and the second equation for boost condition.

A more conservative and recommended approach is to choose an inductor that has a saturation current rating greater than the maximum current limit of 2.05A. A 2.2µH inductor with a saturation current rating of at least 2.05A is recommended for most applications. The inductor’s resistance should be less than 100mΩ for good efficiency. For low-cost applications, an unshielded bobbin inductor could be considered. For noise critical applications, a toroidal or shielded-bobbin inductor should be used. A good practice is to lay out the board with overlapping footprints of both types for design flexibility. This allows substitution of a low-noise shielded inductor, in the event that noise from low-cost bobbin model is unacceptable. Table 2.

Place the input capacitor as close as possible to the PVIN pin of the device. A larger value may be used for improved input voltage filtering. Use X7R or X5R types; do not use Y5V. DC bias characteristics of ceramic capacitors must be considered when selecting case sizes like 0805 or 0603. The input filter capacitor supplies current to the PFET switch of the LM3668 in the first half of each cycle and reduces voltage ripple imposed on the input power source. A ceramic capacitor’s low ESR provides the best noise filtering of the input voltage spikes due to this rapidly changing current. For applications where input voltage is 4V or higher, it is best to use a higher voltage rating capacitor to eliminate the DC bias affect over capacitance. OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION A ceramic output capacitor of 22µF, 6.3V (use 10V or higher rating for 4.5/5V output option) is sufficient for most applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors such as X5R or X7R with low ESR is a good choice for this as well. These capacitors provide an ideal balance between small size, cost, reliability and performance. Do not use Y5V ceramic capacitors as they have poor dielectric performance over temperature and poor voltage characteristic for a given value. In other words, ensure the minimum COUT value does not exceed −40% of the above-suggested value over the entire range of operating temperature and bias conditions. Extra attention is required if a smaller case size capacitor is used in the application. Smaller case size capacitors typically have less capacitance for a given bias voltage as compared to a larger case size capacitor with the same bias voltage. Please contact the capacitor manufacturer for detail information regarding capacitance verses case size. Table 1 lists several capacitor suppliers. The output filter capacitor smooths out current flow from the inductor to the load, helps maintain a steady output voltage during transient load changes and reduces output voltage ripple. These capacitors must be selected with sufficient capacitance and sufficiently low ESR to perform these functions. Note that the output voltage ripple is dependent on the inductor current ripple and the equivalent series resistance of the output capacitor (RESR). The RESR is frequency dependent (as well as temperature dependent); make sure the value used for calculations is at the switching frequency of the part. Table 3.

Below are some layout recommendations: 1. Place input filter and output filter capacitors close to the IC to minimize copper trace resistance which will directly effect the overall ripple voltage. 2. Route noise sensitive trace away from noisy power components. Separate power GND (Noisy GND) and Signal GND (quiet GND) and star GND them at a single point on the PCB preferably close to device GND. 3. Connect the ground pins and filter capacitors together via a ground plane to prevent switching current circulating through the ground plane. Additional layout consideration regarding the WSON package can be found in Application AN1187.
