Its unprecedented 2A, 40V internal switch allows high output currents to be generated in a small footprint. Intended for space-conscious applications, the LT1935 switches at 1.2MHz, allowing the use of tiny, low profile inductors and capacitors 2mm or less in height. The NPN switch achieves a VCESAT of just 180mV at 2A independent of supply voltage, resulting in high efficiency even at maximum power levels from a 3V input. A constant frequency, internally compensated, current mode PWM architecture results in low, predictable output noise that is easy to filter. Low ESR ceramic capacitors can be used on the output, further reducing noise to the millivolt level. The high voltage switch on the LT1935 is rated at 40V, making the device ideal for boost converters up to 38V as well as for single-ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC) and flyback designs. The device can generate 5V at up to 1A from a 3.3V supply or 5V at 550mA from four alkaline cells in a SEPIC design. The LT1935 is available in a 5-lead SOT-23 package. , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation. ThinSOT is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation.

Block Diagram U OPERATIO The LT1935 uses a constant frequency, current mode control scheme to provide excellent line and load regulation. Operation can be best understood by referring to the Block Diagram in Figure 2. At the start of each oscillator cycle, the SR latch is set, turning on the power switch Q1. A voltage proportional to the switch current is added to a stabilizing ramp and the resulting sum is fed into the positive terminal of the PWM comparator, A2. When this voltage exceeds the level at the negative input of A2, the SR latch is reset, turning off the power switch. The level at the negative input of A2 is set by error amplifier A1, and is simply an amplified version of the difference between the feedback voltage and the reference voltage of 1.265V. In this manner, the error amplifier sets the correct peak current level to keep the output in regulation. If the error amplifier’s output increases, more current is delivered to the output; if it decreases, less current is delivered. A clamp on the output of A1 (not shown) limits the switch current to 3A. A1’s output is also clamped to the voltage on the SHDN pin, providing a soft-start function by controlling the peak switch current during start-up. 1935f 4 LT1935 U W U U APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Inductor Selection Use inductors that are intended for high frequency power applications. The saturation current rating should be at least 2A. The RMS current rating, which is usually based on heating of the inductor, should be higher than the average current in the inductor in your application. For best efficiency, the DC resistance should be less than 100mΩ. A good first choice for the inductor value results in a ripple current that is 1/3 of the maximum switch current: L = 3 (VIN/VOUT) (VOUT – VIN)/(IMAX • f) IMAX is the maximum switch current of 2A and f is the switching frequency. At lower duty cycles (less than 70%), this value can be lowered somewhat in order to use a physically smaller inductor. Table 1 lists several inductor manufacturers, along with part numbers for inductors that are a good match to the LT1935. Table 1.

Wurth Elektronik WE-PD2S, WE-PD3S, WE-PD4S Coilcraft MSS5131, MSS6132, DO1608 Use a 4.7µF ceramic capacitor to bypass the input of the LT1935. Be aware that the switching regulators require a low impedance input supply. Additional bulk capacitance may be required if the LT1935 circuit is more than a few inches away from the power source. If there are low ESR capacitors nearby, the input bypass capacitor can be reduced to 2.2µF. The output capacitor supports the output under transient loads and stabilizes the control loop of the LT1935. Look at the typical application circuits as a starting point to choose a value. Generally, a higher output capacitance is required at higher load currents and lower input voltages. Figure 3 shows transient response of the circuit in Figure 1. The load is stepped from 200mA to 400mA and back to 200mA. The transient performance can be improved by increasing the output capacitance, but may require a phase lead capacitor between the output and the FB pin. Figure 4 shows the transient response with the output capacitor increased to 20µF. Figure 5 shows the additional improvement resulting from the phase lead capacitor. VOUT 100mV/DIV ILOAD 200mA/DIV Diode Selection Use a Schottky rectifier with a 1A or higher current rating, such as the On Semiconductor MBRM120. Its 20V reverse voltage rating is adequate for most applications. Higher output voltages may require a 30V of 40V diode. 0 50µs/DIV 1935 F03 Figure 3. Transient Response of the Circuit in Figure 1, COUT = 10µF Capacitor Selection Use capacitors with low ESR (equivalent series resistance). In most cases, multilayer ceramic capacitors are the best choice. They offer high performance (very low ESR) in a small package. Use only X5R or X7R types; they maintain their capacitance over temperature and applied voltage. Other suitable capacitor types include low-ESR tantalum capacitors that are specified for power applications, and newer types of capacitors such as Sanyo’s POSCAP and Panasonic’s SP CAP.

Transient Response with COUT = 20µF 1935f 5 LT1935 U U W U APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Soft Start The SHDN pin can be used to soft start the LT1935, reducing the maximum input current during start up. The SHDN pin is driven through an external RC filter to create a ramp at this pin. Figure 6 shows the start-up waveforms with and without the soft start circuit. Without soft start, the input current peaks at ~3A. With soft start, the peak current is reduced to 1A. By choosing a large RC time constant, the peak start-up current can be reduced to the current that is required to regulate the output, with no overshoot. Choose the value of the resistor so that it can supply 100µA when the SHDN pin reaches 1.8V. VOUT 100mV/DIV ILOAD 200mA/DIV 1935 F05 50µs/DIV OUT 84.5k 68pF 20µF FB 10k Figure 5.

Layout Hints L1 D1 The high speed operation of the LT1935 demands careful attention to board layout. You will not get advertised performance with careless layout. Figure 7 shows the recommended component placement. Make the ground pin copper area large. This helps to lower the die temperature. C1 + VIN VOUT + C2 SHDN R2 GND R1 C3 1935 F03 Figure 7.
