LT1074/LT1076 Step-Down Switching Regulator positive “buck” configuration but several design innovations allow this device to be used as a positive-to-negative converter, a negative boost converter, and as a flyback converter. The switch output is specified to swing 40V below ground, allowing the LT1074 to drive a tappedinductor in the buck mode with output currents up to 10A.

This makes the device respond nearly instantaneously to input voltage fluctuations and makes loop gain independent of input voltage. As a result, dynamic behavior of the regulator is significantly improved over previous designs.

The power switch, all oscillator and control circuitry, and all current limit components, are included on the chip. The topology is a classic On-chip pulse by pulse current limiting makes the LT1074 nearly bust-proof for output overloads or shorts. The input voltage range as a buck converter is 8V to 60V, but a selfboot feature allows input voltages as low as 5V in the inverting and boost configurations. The LT1074 is available in low cost TO-220 or TO-3 packages with frequency pre-set at 100kHz and current limit at 6.5A (LT1076 = 2.6A). A 7-pin TO-220 package is also available which allows current limit to be adjusted down to zero. In addition, full micropower shutdown can be programmed. See Application Note 44 for design details. A fixed 5V output, 2A version is also available. See LT1076-5. , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

Note 4: Total voltage from VIN pin to ground pin must be ≥ 8V after startup for proper regulation. Note 5: Switch frequency is internally scaled down when the feedback pin voltage is less than 1.3V to avoid extremely short switch on times.

The pulse that sets the latch also locks out the switch via gate G1. The effective width of this pulse is approximately 700ns, which sets the maximum switch duty cycle to approximately 93% at 100kHz switching frequency. The switch is turned off by comparator C1, which resets the latch. C1 has a sawtooth waveform as one input and the output of an analog multiplier as the other input. The multiplier output is the product of an internal reference voltage, and the output of the error amplifier, A1, divided by the regulator input voltage. In standard buck regulators, this means that the output voltage of A1 required to keep a constant regulated output is independent of regulator input voltage. This greatly improves line transient response, and makes loop gain independent of input voltage. The error amplifier is a transconductance type with a GM at null of approximately 5000µmho. Slew current going positive is 140µA, while negative slew current is about 1.1mA. This asymmetry helps prevent overshoot on start-up. Overall loop frequency compensation is accomplished with a series RC network from VC to ground. voltages by feeding the FB signal into the oscillator and creating a linear frequency downshift when the FB signal drops below 1.3V. Current trip level is set by the voltage on the ILIM pin which is driven by an internal 320µA current source. When this pin is left open, it self-clamps at about 4.5V and sets current limit at 6.5A for the LT1074 and 2.6A for the LT1076. In the 7-pin package an external resistor can be connected from the ILIM pin to ground to set a lower current limit. A capacitor in parallel with this resistor will soft-start the current limit. A slight offset in C2 guarantees that when the ILIM pin is pulled to within 200mV of ground, C2 output will stay high and force switch duty cycle to zero. Switch current is continuously monitored by C2, which resets the R/S latch to turn the switch off if an overcurrent condition occurs. The time required for detection and switch turn off is approximately 600ns. So minimum switch “on” time in current limit is 600ns. Under dead shorted output conditions, switch duty cycle may have to be as low as 2% to maintain control of output current. This would require switch on time of 200ns at 100kHz switching frequency, so frequency is reduced at very low output The switch used in the LT1074 is a Darlington NPN (single NPN for LT1076) driven by a saturated PNP. Special patented circuitry is used to drive the PNP on and off very quickly even from the saturation state. This particular switch arrangement has no “isolation tubs” connected to the switch output, which can therefore swing to 40V below ground. The “Shutdown” pin is used to force switch duty cycle to zero by pulling the ILIM pin low, or to completely shut down the regulator. Threshold for the former is approximately 2.35V, and for complete shutdown, approximately 0.3V. Total supply current in shutdown is about 150µA. A 10µA pull-up current forces the shutdown pin high when left open. A capacitor can be used to generate delayed startup. A resistor divider will program “undervoltage lockout” if the divider voltage is set at 2.35V when the input is at the desired trip point. 5 LT1074/LT1076 U W TYPICAL PERFOR A CE CHARACTERISTICS VC Pin Characteristics Feedback Pin Characteristics 2.0 500 150 1.5 400 VFB ADJUSTED FOR IC = 0 AT VC = 2V 0 SLOPE ≈ 400kΩ –100 VFB ≥ 2.5V 200 CURRENT (µA) 50 –50 300 1.0 CURRENT (mA) 100 CURRENT (mA) VC Pin Characteristics 200 0.5 0 –0.5 –400 –2.0 –200 1 2 3 5 4 6 7 8 0 9 1 2 3 5 4 7 6 30 –5 20 –10 –20 40 –15 6 7 8 9 10 50 0 SHUTDOWN THRESHOLD –20 –25 Tj = 25°C –100 –150 –200 –250 –300 –350 50 60 70 0 80 0.5 1.0 VOLTAGE (V) 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 VOLTAGE (V) LT1074•PC05 Supply Current 20 18 INPUT CURRENT (mA) 16 14 DEVICE NOT SWITCHING 12 VC = 1V 10 8 6 4 2 0 0 10 20 30 –400 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 VOLTAGE (V) LT1074•TPC04 40 50 60 INPUT VOLTAGE (V) LT1074•TPC11 6 5 LT1074•TPC03 Tj = 25°C CURRENT FLOWS OUT OF SHUTDOWN PIN –40 30 4 ILIM Pin Characteristics –35 –40 20 3 100 –30 DETAILS OF THIS AREA SHOWN IN OTHER GRAPH 10 2 –50 –10 0 1 VOLTAGE (V) CURRENT (µA) 0 THIS POINT MOVES WITH VIN 0 Shutdown Pin Characteristics 0 CURRENT (µA) CURRENT (µA) Shutdown Pin Characteristics 40 10 –500 9 LT1074•TPC02 LT1074•TPC01 VIN = 50V 8 VOLTAGE (V) VOLTAGE (V) –30 0 –100 –300 –1.5 –150 0 100 –200 –1.0 VFB ≤ 2V START OF FREQUENCY SHIFTING LT1074•TPC06 LT1074/LT1076 U W TYPICAL PERFOR A CE CHARACTERISTICS Reference Voltage vs Temperature Supply Current (Shutdown) 3.0 Tj = 25°C 2.24 250 2.5 150 100 “ON” VOLTAGE (V) 2.23 200 VOLTAGE (V) 2.22 2.21 2.20 LT1074 1.5 LT1076 1.0 2.18 2.17 –50 –25 0 0 10 20 40 30 50 60 INPUT VOLTAGE (V) 0 25 50 75 TRI WAVE –20 SQUARE WAVE –40 –50 –60 –70 200 120 7k 150 115 100 110 θ 6k 5k 50 4k 0 GM 2k –100 90 1k –150 85 0 PEAK-TO-PEAK RIPPLE AT FB PIN (mV) 10k 100k –200 10M 1M 80 –50 –25 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 JUNCTION TEMPERATURE (°C) LT1074•TPC18 LT1074•TPC17 Feedback Pin Frequency Shift Current Limit vs Temperature* 160 8 140 7 OUTPUT CURRENT LIMIT (A) SWITCHING FREQUENCY (kHz) 95 FREQUENCY (Hz) LT1074•TPC16 6 100 –50 1k 5 105 3k 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 120 100 80 150°C –55°C 40 4 Switching Frequency vs Temperature 8k –80 60 3 LT1074•TPC28 PHASE (°) TRANSCONDUCTANCE (µmho) 0 20 40 2 SWITCH CURRENT (A) Error Amplifier Phase and GM 10 0 1 LT1074•TPC14 20 –30 0 JUNCTION TEMPERATURE (°C) Reference Shift with Ripple Voltage –10 0.5 100 125 150 LT1074•TPC13 CHANGE IN REFERENCE VOLTAGE (mV) 2.0 2.19 50 FREQUENCY (kHz) INPUT CURRENT (µA) Switch “On” Voltage 2.25 300 25°C 20 I LIM PIN OPEN 6 5 R LIM = 10kΩ 4 3 2 R LIM= 5kΩ 1 0 0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 FEEDBACK PIN VOLTAGE (V) *MULTIPLY CURRENTS BY 0.4 FOR LT1076 0 –50 –25 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 JUNCTION TEMPERATURE (°C) LT1074•TPC19 LT1074•TPC22 7 LT1074/LT1076 U U PI DESCRIPTIO S VIN PIN The VIN pin is both the supply voltage for internal control circuitry and one end of the high current switch. It is important, especially at low input voltages, that this pin be bypassed with a low ESR, and low inductance capacitor to prevent transient steps or spikes from causing erratic operation. At full switch current of 5A, the switching transients at the regulator input can get very large as shown in Figure 1. Place the input capacitor very close to the regulator and connect it with wide traces to avoid extra inductance. Use radial lead capacitors. ( )( dl dt LP ∆VOUT = (∆VGND )( VOUT ) 2.21 To ensure good load regulation, the ground pin must be connected directly to the proper output node, so that no high currents flow in this path. The output divider resistor should also be connected to this low current connection line as shown in Figure 2.

Input Capacitor Ripple LP = Total inductance in input bypass connections and capacitor. “Spike” height (dI/dt • LP) is approximately 2V per inch of lead length for LT1074 and 0.8V per inch for LT1076. “Step” for ESR = 0.05Ω and ISW = 5A is 0.25V. “Ramp” for C = 200µF, TON = 5µs, and ISW = 5A, is 0.12V. Input current on the VIN Pin in shutdown mode is the sum of actual supply current (≈140µA, with a maximum of 300µA), and switch leakage current. Consult factory for special testing if shutdown mode input current is critical. GROUND PIN It might seem unusual to describe a ground pin, but in the case of regulators, the ground pin must be connected properly to ensure good load regulation. The internal reference voltage is referenced to the ground pin; so any error in ground pin voltage will be multiplied at the output; 8 Figure 2. Proper Ground Pin Connection FEEDBACK PIN The feedback pin is the inverting input of an error amplifier which controls the regulator output by adjusting duty cycle. The noninverting input is internally connected to a trimmed 2.21V reference. Input bias current is typically 0.5µA when the error amplifier is balanced (IOUT = 0). The error amplifier has asymmetrical GM for large input signals to reduce startup overshoot. This makes the amplifier more sensitive to large ripple voltages at the feedback pin. 100mVp-p ripple at the feedback pin will create a 14mV offset in the amplifier, equivalent to a 0.7% output voltage shift. To avoid output errors, output ripple (P-P) should be less than 4% of DC output voltage at the point where the output divider is connected. See the “Error Amplifier” section for more details. Frequency Shifting at the Feedback Pin The error amplifier feedback pin (FB) is used to downshift the oscillator frequency when the regulator output voltage is low. This is done to guarantee that output short-circuit LT1074/LT1076 U U PI DESCRIPTIO S current is well controlled even when switch duty cycle must be extremely low. Theoretical switch “on” time for a buck converter in continuous mode is: tON = VOUT + VD VIN • f VD = Catch diode forward voltage ( ≈ 0.5V) f = Switching frequency At f = 100kHz, tON must drop to 0.2µs when VIN = 25V and the output is shorted (VOUT = 0V). In current limit, the LT1074 can reduce tON to a minimum value of ≈0.6µs, much too long to control current correctly for VOUT = 0. To correct this problem, switching frequency is lowered from 100kHz to 20kHz as the FB pin drops from 1.3V to 0.5V. This is accomplished by the circuitry shown in Figure 3. TO OSCILLATOR VOUT +2V VC + ERROR AMPLIFIER – 2.21V Q1 R1 R3 3k EXTERNAL DIVIDER FB R2 2.21k SHUTDOWN PIN The shutdown pin is used for undervoltage lockout, micropower shutdown, soft-start, delayed start, or as a general purpose on/off control of the regulator output. It controls switching action by pulling the ILIM pin low, which forces the switch to a continuous “off” state. Full micropower shutdown is initiated when the shutdown pin drops below 0.3V. The V/I characteristics of the shutdown pin are shown in Figure 4. For voltages between 2.5V and ≈VIN, a current of 10µA flows out of the shutdown pin. This current increases to ≈25µA as the shutdown pin moves through the 2.35V threshold. The current increases further to ≈30µA at the 0.3V threshold, then drops to ≈15µA as the shutdown voltage fall below 0.3V. The 10µA current source is included to pull the shutdown pin to its high or default state when left open. It also provides a convenient pull-up for delayed start applications with a capacitor on the shutdown pin. When activated, the typical collector current of Q1 in Figure 5, is ≈2mA. A soft-start capacitor on the ILIM pin will delay regulator shutdown in response to C1, by ≈(5V)(CLIM)/2mA. Soft-start after full micropower shutdown is ensured by coupling C2 to Q1. 0 LT1074•PD03 Tj = 25°C CURRENT FLOWS OUT OF SHUTDOWN PIN –5 Figure 3. Frequency Shifting Q1 is off when the output is regulating (VFB = 2.21V). As the output is pulled down by an overload, VFB will eventually reach 1.3V, turning on Q1. As the output continues to drop, Q1 current increases proportionately and lowers the frequency of the oscillator. Frequency shifting starts when the output is ≈ 60% of normal value, and is down to its minimum value of ≅ 20kHz when the output is ≅ 20% of normal value. The rate at which frequency is shifted is determined by both the internal 3k resistor R3 and the external divider resistors. For this reason, R2 should not be increased to more than 4kΩ, if the LT1074 will be subjected to the simultaneous conditions of high input voltage and output short-circuit.

To calculate a value for RFB, first calculate RLIM, the RFB: RFB = *Change 0.44 to 0.16, and 0.5 to 0.18 for LT1076. 320 µ A Example: ILIM = 4A, ISC = 1.5A, RLIM = (4)(2k) + 1k = 9k D2 Q1 D1 R1 8K (ISC − 0.44 *)(RL ) R in kΩ (L ) 0.5 * (RL − 1kΩ) − ISC 4.3V D3 6V RFB = (1.5 − 0.44)(9kΩ) 3.8kΩ ( ) 0.5(9k − 1k ) − 1.5 VOUT I LIM LT1047•PD12 LT1074 Figure 8. ILIM Pin Circuit FB I LIM When ILIM is left open, the voltage at Q1 base clamps at 5V through D2. Internal current limit is determined by the current through Q1. If an external resistor is connected between ILIM and ground, the voltage at Q1 base can be reduced for lower current limit. The resistor will have a voltage across it equal to (320µA)(R), limited to ≈5V when clamped by D2. Resistance required for a given current limit is: RLIM = ILIM(2kΩ) + 1kΩ (LT1074) RLIM = ILIM(5.5kΩ) + 1kΩ (LT1076) As an example, a 3A current limit would require 3A(2k) + 1k = 7kΩ for the LT1074. The accuracy of these formulas is ±25% for 2A ≤ ILIM ≤ 5A (LT1074) and 7A ≤ ILIM ≤ 1.8A (LT1076), so ILIM should be set at least 25% above the peak switch current required. Foldback current limiting can be easily implemented by adding a resistor from the output to the ILIM pin as shown in Figure 9. This allows full desired current limit (with or without RLIM) when the output is regulating, but reduces current limit under short-circuit conditions. A typical value for RFB is 5kΩ, but this may be adjusted up or down to set the amount of foldback. D2 prevents the output voltage R FB R LIM D2 1N4148 LT1074•PD13 Figure 9. Foldback Current Limit Error Amplifier The error amplifier in Figure 10 is a single stage design with added inverters to allow the output to swing above and below the common mode input voltage. One side of the amplifier is tied to a trimmed internal reference voltage of 2.21V. The other input is brought out as the FB (feedback) pin. This amplifier has a GM (voltage “in” to current “out”) transfer function of ≈5000µmho. Voltage gain is determined by multiplying GM times the total equivalent output loading, consisting of the output resistance of Q4 and Q6 in parallel with the series RC external frequency compensation network. At DC, the external RC is ignored, and with a parallel output impedance for Q4 and Q6 of 400kΩ, voltage gain is ≈2000. At frequencies above a few hertz, voltage gain is determined by the external compensation, RC and CC. 11 LT1074/LT1076 U U PI DESCRIPTIO S 5.8V Q4 90 µ A 90 µ A Q3 50 µ A Q1 Q2 X1.8 VC D1 FB 50 µ A 90 µ A D2 Q6 2.21V EXTERNAL FREQUENCY COMPENSATION RC 140 µ A CC 300 Ω ALL CURRENTS SHOWN ARE AT NULL CONDITION LT1074 • PD11 Figure 10. Error Amplifier Gm at mid frequencies 2π • f • CC A V = Gm • RC at high frequencies AV = Phase shift from the FB pin to the VC pin is 90° at mid frequencies where the external CC is controlling gain, then drops back to 0° (actually 180° since FB is an inverting input) when the reactance of CC is small compared to RC. The low frequency “pole” where the reactance of CC is equal to the output impedance of Q4 and Q6 (rO), is: fPOLE = 1 rO ≈ 400kΩ 2π • rO • C Although fPOLE varies as much as 3:1 due to rO variations, mid-frequency gain is dependent only on Gm, which is specified much tighter on the data sheet. The higher frequency “zero” is determined solely by RC and CC. fZERO = 12 1 2π • RC • CC The error amplifier has asymmetrical peak output current. Q3 and Q4 current mirrors are unity-gain, but the Q6 mirror has a gain of 1.8 at output null and a gain of 8 when the FB pin is high (Q1 current = 0). This results in a maximum positive output current of 140µA and a maximum negative (sink) output current of ≅1.1mA. The asymmetry is deliberate—it results in much less regulator output overshoot during rapid start-up or following the release of an output overload. Amplifier offset is kept low by area scaling Q1 and Q2 at 1.8:1. Amplifier swing is limited by the internal 5.8V supply for positive outputs and by D1 and D2 when the output goes low. Low clamp voltage is approximately one diode drop (≈0.7V – 2mV/°C). Note that both the FB pin and the VC pin have other internal connections. Refer to the frequency shifting and synchronizing discussions.
