The LTC proprietary topology allows input voltages above, below or equal to the output voltage by properly phasing the output switches. The error amp output voltage on VC determines the output duty cycle of the switches. Since VC is a filtered signal, it provides rejection of frequencies well below the switching frequency. The low RDS(ON), low gate charge synchronous switches provide high frequency pulse width modulation control at high efficiency. Schottky diodes across the synchronous switch D and synchronous switch B are not required, but provide a lower voltage drop during the break-before-make time (typically 15ns). Schottky diodes will improve peak efficiency by typically 1% to 2%. High efficiency is achieved at light loads when Burst Mode operation is entered and the IC’s quiescent current drops to a low 35μA. LOW NOISE FIXED FREQUENCY OPERATION Oscillator The frequency of operation is programmed by an external resistor from RT to ground, according to the following equation: f(kHz) = 48,000 RT (kΩ) Error Amp The error amplifier is a voltage mode amplifier. The loop compensation components are configured around the amplifier (from FB to VC) to obtain stability of the converter. For improved bandwidth, an additional RC feedforward network can be placed across the upper feedback divider resistor. The voltage on SHDN/SS clamps the error amp output, VC, to provide a soft-start function. cally 50ns. A second amplifier will begin to source current into the FB pin to drop the output voltage once the peak input current exceeds 1A typical. This method provides a closed loop means of clamping the input current. During conditions where VOUT is near ground, such as during a short-circuit or during startup, this threshold is cut in half providing a fold back feature. For this current limit feature to be most effective, the Thevenin resistance from FB to ground should be greater than 100k. Reverse Current Limit During fixed frequency operation, the LTC3532 operates in forced continuous conduction mode. The reverse current limit amplifier monitors the inductor current from the output through switch D. Once the negative inductor current exceeds 340mA typical, the IC will shut off switch D. 4-Switch Control Figure 1 shows a simplified diagram of how the four internal switches are connected to the inductor, VIN, VOUT and GND. Figure 2 shows the regions of operation for the LTC3532 as a function of the internal control voltage, VCI. Depending on the control voltage, the IC will operate in either buck, buck/boost or boost mode. The VCI voltage is a level shifted voltage from the output of the error amp (VC) (see Figure 5). The four power switches are properly phased so the transfer between operating modes is continuous, smooth and transparent to the user. When VIN approaches VOUT the buck/boost region is reached where the conduction time of the 4-switch region is typically 150ns. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the various regions of operation will now be described. VIN VOUT 7 6 PMOS D PMOS A Internal Current Limit There are two different current limit circuits in the LTC3532. They have internally fixed thresholds which vary inversely with VIN. The first circuit is a high speed peak current limit comparator that will shut off switch A if the current exceeds 1.1A typical. The delay to output of this amplifier is typi- SW1 SW2 3 4 NMOS B NMOS C 3532 F01 Figure 1.

Switch Control vs Internal Control Voltage, VCI Buck Region (VIN > VOUT) Switch D is always on and switch C is always off during this mode. When the internal control voltage, VCI, is above voltage V1, output A begins to switch. During the off-time of switch A, synchronous switch B turns on for the remainder of the time. Switches A and B will alternate like a typical synchronous buck regulator. As the control voltage increases, the duty cycle of switch A increases until the maximum duty cycle of the converter in buck mode reaches DMAX_BUCK, given by: DMAX_BUCK = 100 – D4SW % where D4SW = duty cycle % of the 4-switch range. D4SW = (150ns • f) • 100 % where f = operating frequency, Hz. Beyond this point the “4-switch,” or buck/boost region is reached. Buck/Boost or 4-Switch (VIN ~ VOUT) When the internal control voltage, VCI, is above voltage V2, switch pair AD remain on for duty cycle DMAX_BUCK, and the switch pair AC begins to phase in. As switch pair AC phases in, switch pair BD phases out accordingly. When the VCI voltage reaches the edge of the buck/boost range, at voltage V3, the AC switch pair completely phase out the BD pair, and the boost phase begins at duty cycle D4SW. The input voltage, VIN, where the 4-switch region begins is given by: Switch A is always on and switch B is always off during this mode. When the internal control voltage, VCI, is above voltage V3, switch pair CD will alternately switch to provide a boosted output voltage. This operation is like a synchronous boost regulator. The maximum duty cycle of the converter is limited to 88% typical and is reached when VCI is above V4. Burst Mode OPERATION Burst Mode operation occurs when the IC delivers energy to the output until it is regulated and then goes into a sleep mode where the outputs are off and the IC is consuming only 35μA of quiescent current from VIN. In this mode the output ripple has a variable frequency component that depends upon load current, and will typically be about 2% peak-to-peak. Burst Mode operation ripple can be reduced slightly by using more output capacitance (47μF or greater). Another method of reducing Burst Mode operation ripple is to place a small feedforward capacitor across the upper resistor in the VOUT feedback divider network (as in Type III compensation). During the period where the device is delivering energy to the output, the peak switch current will be equal to 250mA typical and the inductor current will terminate at zero current for each cycle. In this mode the typical maximum average output current is given by: IOUT(MAX)BURST ≈ 0.2 • VIN A VOUT + VIN 3532fc 8 LTC3532 U OPERATIO VIN VOUT VIN VOUT 7 6 7 6 SW1 + L A D – 4 SW2 B C 250mA 3 SW1 – dI ≈ – VOUT L dt + L 4 SW2 B 0mA C 3532 F03 T1 5 5 GND GND Figure 3. Inductor Charge Cycle During Burst Mode Operation Note that the peak efficiency during Burst Mode operation is less than the peak efficiency during fixed frequency because the part enters full-time 4-switch mode (when servicing the output) with discontinuous inductor current as illustrated in Figures 3 and 4. During Burst Mode operation, the control loop is nonlinear and cannot utilize the control voltage from the error amp to determine the control mode, therefore full-time 4-switch mode is required to maintain the buck/boost function. The efficiency below 1mA becomes dominated primarily by the quiescent current. The Burst Mode operation efficiency is given by: EFFICIENCY ≅ D n • ILOAD 35μA + ILOAD where n is typically 88% during Burst Mode operation. Automatic Burst Mode Operation Control Burst Mode operation can be automatic or manually controlled with a single pin. In automatic mode, the IC will enter Burst Mode operation at light load and return to fixed frequency operation at heavier loads. The load current at which the mode transition occurs is programmed using a single external resistor from the BURST pin to ground, according to the following equations: Enter Burst Mode Operation: I = Leave Burst Mode Operation: I = 10.5V RBURST 7V RBURST IINDUCTOR 3 dI ≈ VIN dt L IINDUCTOR A 250mA 0mA T2 3532 F04 Figure 4. Inductor Disharge Cycle During Burst Mode Operation where RBURST is in kΩ and IBURST is the load transition current in Amps. For automatic operation, a filter capacitor should also be connected from BURST to ground to prevent ripple on BURST from causing the IC to oscillate in and out of Burst Mode operation. The equation for the minimum capacitor value is: CBURST(MIN) ≥ COUT • VOUT 60,000V where CBURST(MIN) and COUT are in μF. In the event that a load transient causes the feedback pin to drop by more than 4% from the regulation value while in Burst Mode operation, the IC will immediately switch to fixed frequency mode and an internal pull-up will be momentarily applied to BURST, rapidly charging the BURST capacitor. This prevents the IC from immediately reentering Burst Mode operation once the output achieves regulation. Manual Burst Mode Operation For manual control of Burst Mode operation, the RC network connected to BURST can be eliminated. To force fixed frequency mode, BURST should be connected to VOUT. To force Burst Mode operation, BURST should be grounded. When commanding Burst Mode operation manually, the circuit connected to BURST should be able to sink up to 2mA. For optimum transient response with large dynamic loads, the operating mode should be controlled manually by the host. By commanding fixed frequency operation prior to a sudden increase in load, output voltage droop can 3532fc 9 LTC3532 U OPERATIO be minimized. Note that if the load current applied during forced Burst Mode operation (BURST pin is grounded) exceeds the current that can be supplied, the output voltage will start to droop and the IC will automatically come out of Burst Mode operation and enter fixed frequency mode, raising VOUT. Once regulation is achieved, the IC will then enter Burst Mode operation once again, and the cycle will repeat, resulting in about 4% output ripple. Note that Burst Mode operation is inhibited during soft-start. incorporates an active clamp circuit that holds the voltage on VC at an optimal voltage during Burst Mode operation. This minimizes any output transient when returning to fixed frequency mode operation. For optimum transient response, Type 3 compensation is also recommended to broad band the control loop and roll off past the two pole response of the output LC filter. (See Closing the Feedback Loop.) Burst Mode Operation to Fixed Frequency Transient Response The soft-start function is combined with shutdown. When the SHDN/SS pin is brought above 1V typical, the IC is enabled but the EA duty cycle is clamped from VC. A detailed diagram of this function is shown in Figure 5. The components RSS and CSS provide a slow ramping voltage on SHDN/SS to provide a soft-start function. To ensure that VC is not being clamped, SHDN/SS must be raised above 2.4V. To enable Burst Mode operation, SHDN/SS must be raised to within 0.5V of VIN. In Burst Mode operation, the compensation network is not used and VC is disconnected from the error amplifier. During long periods of Burst Mode operation, leakage currents in the external components or on the PC board could cause the compensation capacitor to charge (or discharge), which could result in a large output transient when returning to fixed frequency mode of operation, even at the same load current.

The steady state ripple due to charge is given by: The high frequency operation of the LTC3532 allows the use of small surface mount inductors. The inductor ripple current is typically set to 20% to 40% of the maximum inductor current. For a given ripple the inductance terms are given as follows: % RIPPLE_BOOST = VIN(MIN) • (VOUT – VIN(MIN) ) % RIPPLE_BUCK = LBOOST > LBUCK > f • ΔIL • VOUT VOUT • (VIN(MAX) – VOUT ) f • ΔIL • VIN(MAX) H IOUT(MAX) • (VOUT – VIN(MIN) ) • 100 COUT • VOUT 2 • f % (VIN(MAX) – VOUT ) • 100% 1 • VIN(MAX) 8LCf2 H where f = Operating frequency, Hz ΔIL = Maximum allowable inductor ripple current, A VIN(MIN) = Minimum input voltage VIN(MAX) = Maximum input voltage VOUT = Output voltage IOUT(MAX) = Maximum output load current For high efficiency, choose a ferrite inductor with a high frequency core material to reduce core losses. The inductor should have low ESR (equivalent series resistance) to reduce the I2R losses, and must be able to handle the peak inductor current without saturating. Molded chokes or chip inductors usually do not have enough core to support the where COUT = output filter capacitor in Farads and f = switching frequency in Hz. The output capacitance is usually many times larger than the minimum value in order to handle the transient response requirements of the converter. As a rule of thumb, the ratio of the operating frequency to the unity-gain bandwidth of the converter is the amount the output capacitance will have to increase from the above calculations in order to maintain the desired transient response. The other component of ripple is due to the ESR (equivalent series resistance) of the output capacitor. Low ESR capacitors should be used to minimize output voltage ripple. For surface mount applications, Taiyo Yuden or TDK ceramic capacitors, AVX TPS series tantalum capacitors or Sanyo POSCAP are recommended.

Capacitor Vendor Information Operating Frequency Selection SUPPLIER WEB SITE AVX www.avxcorp.com Murata www.murata.com Sanyo www.sanyovideo.com Taiyo Yuden www.t-yuden.com TDK www.component.tdk.com Higher operating frequencies allow the use of a smaller inductor and smaller input and output filter capacitors, thus reducing board area and component height. However, higher operating frequencies also increase the IC’s total quiescent current due to the gate charge of the four switches, as given by: Input Capacitor Selection Since VIN is the supply voltage for the IC, as well as the input to the power stage of the converter, it is recommended to place at least a 4.7μF, low ESR ceramic bypass capacitor close to the VIN and GND pins. It is also important to minimize any stray resistance from the converter to the battery or other power source. Optional Schottky Diodes The Schottky diodes across the synchronous switches B and D are not required (VOUT < 4.3V), but provide a lower drop during the break-before-make time (typically 15ns) improving efficiency. Use a surface mount Schottky diode such as an MBRM120T3 or equivalent. Do not use ordinary rectifier diodes, since the slow recovery times will compromise efficiency. For applications with an output voltage above 4.3V, a Schottky diode is required from SW2 to VOUT. Output Voltage > 4.3V A Schottky diode from SW2 to VOUT is required for output voltages over 4.3V. The diode must be located as close to the pins as possible in order to reduce the peak voltage on SW2 due to the parasitic lead and trace inductance. Input Voltage > 4.5V For applications with input voltages above 4.5V which could exhibit an overload or short-circuit condition, a 2Ω/1nF series snubber is required between SW1 and GND. A Schottky diode from SW1 to VIN should also be added as close to the pins as possible. For the higher input voltages, VIN bypassing becomes more critical; therefore, a ceramic bypass capacitor as close to the VIN and SGND pins as possible is also required. Buck: IQ = (0.125 • VIN • f) mA Boost: IQ = [0.06 • (VIN + VOUT) • f] mA Buck/Boost: IQ = [f • (0.19 • VIN + 0.06 • VOUT)] mA where f = switching frequency in MHz. Therefore frequency selection is a compromise between the optimal efficiency and the smallest solution size. Closing the Feedback Loop The LTC3532 incorporates voltage mode PWM control. The control to output gain varies with operation region (buck, boost, buck/boost), but is usually no greater than 15. The output filter exhibits a double pole response, as given by: f FILTER — POLE = 1 2 • π • L • COUT Hz (in buck mode) f FILTER — POLE = VIN 2 • VOUT • π • L • COUT Hz (in boost mode) where L is in henrys and COUT is in farads. The output filter zero is given by: f FILTER — ZERO = 1 2 • π • RESR • COUT Hz where RESR is the equivalent series resistance of the output capacitor. A troublesome feature in boost mode is the right-half plane zero (RHP), given by: f RHPZ = VIN2 Hz 2 • π • IOUT • L • VOUT 3532fc 12 LTC3532 U U W U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO The loop gain is typically rolled off before the RHP zero frequency. A simple Type I compensation network can be incorporated to stabilize the loop, but at a cost of reduced bandwidth and slower transient response. To ensure proper phase margin using Type I compensation, the loop must be crossed over a decade before the LC double pole. The unity-gain frequency of the error amplifier with the Type I compensation is given by: the output filter. Referring to Figure 8, the location of the poles and zeros are given by: fPOLE1 ≅ 1 Hz 2 • π • 32e3 • R1• CP1 (which is extremely close to DC) fZERO1 = 1 Hz 2 • π • RZ • CP1 fZERO2 = 1 Hz 2 • π • R1• CZ1 referring to Figure 7. fPOLE2 = Most applications demand an improved transient response to allow a smaller output filter capacitor. To achieve a higher bandwidth, Type III compensation is required, providing two zeros to compensate for the double-pole response of 1 Hz 2 • π • RZ • CP2 where resistance is in ohms and capacitance is in farads. fUG = 1 Hz 2 • π • R1• CP1 VOUT + VOUT + ERROR AMP – 1.22V R1 FB 10 – 1.22V R1 CZ1 FB 9 VC 9 VC ERROR AMP CP1 RZ R2 10 CP1 R2 CP2 3532 F08 3532 F07 Figure 7.
