All outputs are enabled and disabled together through the ENALL pin. The output regulation voltages are set during manufacturing to 1.2V nominal for the buck, 2.8V nominal for LDO1, and 1.8V nominal for LDO2. For versions of the IC with different output regulation voltages, consult the LTC factory. SYNCHRONOUS BUCK REGULATOR The synchronous buck uses a constant-frequency current mode architecture, switching at 2.25MHz down to very light loads, and supports no-load operation by skipping cycles. When the input voltage drops very close to or falls below the target output voltage, the buck supports 100% duty cycle operation (low dropout mode). Soft-start circuitry limits inrush current when powering on. Output current is limited in the event of an output short-circuit. The switch node is slew-rate limited to reduce EMI radiation. The buck regulation control-loop compensation is internal to the IC, and requires no external components. Main Control Loop An error amplifier monitors the difference between an internal reference voltage and the voltage on the BUCKOUT pin. When the BUCKOUT voltage is below the reference, the error amplifier output voltage increases. When the BUCKOUT voltage exceeds the reference, the error amplifier output voltage decreases. The error amplifier output controls the peak inductor current through the following mechanism: Paced by a free-running 2.25MHz oscillator, the main P-channel MOSFET switch is turned on at the start of the oscillator cycle. Current flows from the VIN supply through this PMOS switch, through the inductor via the SW pin, and into the output capacitor and load. When the current reaches the level programmed by the output of the error amplifier, the PMOS is shut off, and the N-channel MOSFET synchronous rectifier turns on. Energy stored in the inductor discharges into the load through this NMOS. The NMOS turns off at the end of the 2.25MHz cycle, or sooner, if the current through it drops to zero before the end of the cycle. Through these mechanisms, the error amplifier adjusts the peak inductor current to deliver the required output power to regulate the output voltage as sensed by the BUCKOUT pin. All necessary control-loop compensation is internal to the step-down switching regulator, requiring only a single ceramic output capacitor for stability. Light Load/No-Load Cycle-Skipping At light loads, the inductor current may reach zero before the end of the oscillator cycle, which will turn off the NMOS synchronous rectifier. In this case, the SW pin goes high impedance and will show damped “ringing”. This is known as discontinuous operation, and is normal behavior for a switching regulator. At very light load and no-load conditions, the buck will automatically skip cycles as needed to maintain output regulation. Soft-Start Soft-start in the buck regulator is accomplished by gradually increasing the maximum allowed peak inductor current over a 200μs period. This allows the output to rise slowly, controlling the inrush current required to charge up the output capacitor. A soft-start cycle occurs whenever the LTC3672B-2 is enabled, or after a fault condition has occurred (thermal shutdown or UVLO). 3672b2fa 7 LTC3672B-2 OPERATION Switch Slew-Rate Control LOW DROPOUT LINEAR REGULATORS (LDOs) The buck regulator contains new patent pending circuitry to limit the slew rate of the switch node (SW pin). This new circuitry is designed to transition the switch node over a period of a couple nanoseconds, significantly reducing radiated EMI and conducted supply noise while maintaining high efficiency. The LTC3672B-2 contains two 150mA fixed-output LDO regulators. LDO1 takes power from the VIN1 pin and regulates a 2.8V output at the LDO1 pin. LDO2 takes power straight from VIN and regulates a 1.8V output at the LDO2 pin. For stability, each LDO output must be bypassed to ground with a minimum 1μF ceramic capacitor. LOW VIN SUPPLY UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT An undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit shuts down the LTC3672B-2 when VIN drops below about 1.7V. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION BUCK REGULATOR INDUCTOR SELECTION Many different sizes and shapes of inductors are available from numerous manufacturers. Choosing the right inductor from such a large selection of devices can be overwhelming, but following a few basic guidelines will make the selection process much simpler. The buck regulator is designed to work with inductors in the range of 2.2μH to 10μH. A 4.7μH inductor is a good starting point. Larger value inductors reduce ripple current, which improves output ripple voltage. Lower value inductors result in higher ripple current and improved transient response time. To maximize efficiency, choose an inductor with a low DC resistance. Choose an inductor with a DC current rating at least 1.5 times larger than the maximum load current to ensure that the inductor does not saturate during normal operation. If output short-circuit is a possible condition, the inductor should be rated to handle the maximum peak current specified for the stepdown converters. Different core materials and shapes will change the size/current and price/current relationship of an inductor. Toroid or shielded pot cores in ferrite or Permalloy™ materials are small and don’t radiate much energy, but generally cost more than powdered iron core inductors with similar electrical characteristics. Inductors that are very thin or have a very small volume typically have much higher core and DCR losses, and will not give the best efficiency. The choice of which style inductor to use often depends more on the price vs size, performance, and any radiated EMI requirements than on what the buck regulator needs to operate. Table 1 shows several inductors that work well with the buck regulator. These inductors offer a good compromise in current rating, DCR and physical size. Consult each manufacturer for detailed information on their entire selection of inductors. 3672b2fa 8 LTC3672B-2 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Table 1.

Only X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors should be used because they retain their capacitance over wider voltage and temperature ranges than other ceramic types. A 10μF output capacitor is sufficient for the buck regulator output. For good transient response and stability the output capacitor for the buck regulator should retain at least 4μF of capacitance over operating temperature and bias voltage. The VIN pin should be bypassed with a 2.2μF capacitor. The LDO1 and LDO2 output pins should be bypassed with a 1μF capacitor or greater. VIN1 should be bypassed with a 1μF capacitor, which may be omitted if VIN1 is tied to the VIN pin. Consult with capacitor manufacturers for detailed information on their selection and specifications of ceramic capacitors. Many manufacturers now offer very thin (<1mm tall) ceramic capacitors ideal for use in height-restricted designs. Table 2 shows a list of several ceramic capacitor manufacturers. Table 2.

The GND side of these capacitors should connect directly to the ground plane of the part. The VIN capacitor provides the AC current to the buck regulator’s power MOSFETs and their drivers. It is especially important to minimize PCB trace inductance from this capacitor to the VIN and GND pins of the LTC3672B-2. 3) The switching power trace connecting the SW pin to the inductor should be kept as short as possible to reduce radiated EMI and parasitic coupling. 4) The LDO output capacitors should be placed as close to the IC as possible, and connect to the LDO outputs and the GND pin as directly as possible. 3672b2fa 10 LTC3672B-2 PACKAGE DESCRIPTION DC Package 8-Lead Plastic DFN (2mm × 2mm) (Reference LTC DWG # 05-08-1719 Rev Ø) 0.70 ±0.05 2.55 ±0.05 1.15 ±0.05 0.64 ±0.05 (2 SIDES) PACKAGE OUTLINE 0.25 ± 0.05 0.45 BSC 1.37 ±0.05 (2 SIDES) RECOMMENDED SOLDER PAD PITCH AND DIMENSIONS APPLY SOLDER MASK TO AREAS THAT ARE NOT SOLDERED R = 0.05 TYP 2.00 ±0.10 (4 SIDES) PIN 1 BAR TOP MARK (SEE NOTE 6) R = 0.115 TYP 5 8 0.40 ± 0.10 0.64 ± 0.10 (2 SIDES) PIN 1 NOTCH R = 0.20 OR 0.25 × 45° CHAMFER (DC8) DFN 0106 REVØ 4 0.200 REF 1 0.23 ± 0.05 0.45 BSC 0.75 ±0.05 1.37 ±0.10 (2 SIDES) 0.00 – 0.05 BOTTOM VIEW—EXPOSED PAD NOTE: 1.
