U ■ The LT1300 is a micropower step-up DC/DC converter that utilizes Burst Mode™ operation. The device can deliver 5V or 3.3V from a two-cell battery input. It features programmable 5V or 3.3V output via a logic-controlled input, noload quiescent current of 120µA and a shutdown pin which reduces supply current to 10µA. The on-chip power switch has a low 170mV saturation voltage at a switch current of 1A, a four-fold reduction over prior designs. A 155kHz internal oscillator allows the use of extremely small surface mount inductors and capacitors. Operation is guaranteed at 1.8V input. This allows more energy to be extracted from the battery increasing operating life. The ILIM pin can be used to program peak switch current with a single resistor allowing the use of less expensive and smaller inductors and capacitors in lighter load applications. The LT1300 is available in an 8-lead SOIC package, minimizing board space requirements. For a 5V/12V Selectable Output Converter see the LT1301. For increased output current see the LT1302.

When A1’s negative input, related to the Sense pin voltage by the appropriate resistor-divider ratio, is higher that the 1.25V reference voltage, A1’s output is low. A2, A3 and the oscillator are turned off, drawing no current. Only the reference and A1 consume current, typically 120µA. When the voltage at A1’s negative input decreases below 1.25V, overcoming A1’s 6mV hysteresis, A1’s output goes high, enabling the oscillator, current comparator A2, and driver A3. Quiescent current increases to 2mA as the device prepares for high current switching. Q1 then turns on in a controlled saturation for (nominally) 5.3µs or until current comparator A2 trips, whichever comes first. After a fixed off-time of (nominally) 1.2µs, Q1 turns on again. The LT1300’s switching causes current to alternately build up in L1 and dump into capacitor C2 via D1, increasing the output voltage. When the output is high enough to cause A1’s output to go to low, switching action ceases. C2 is left to supply current to the load until VOUT decreases enough to force A1’s output high, and the entire cycle repeats. If switch current reaches 1A, causing A2 to trip, switch ontime is reduced and off-time increases slightly. This allows continuous mode operation during bursts. Current comparator A2 monitors the voltage across 3Ω resistor R1 which is directly related to inductor L1’s current. Q2’s collector current is set by the emitter-area ratio to 0.6% of Q1’s collector current. When R1’s voltage drop exceeds 18mV, corresponding to 1A inductor current, A2’s output goes high, truncating the on-time portion of the oscillator cycle and increasing off-time to about 2µs as shown in Figure 2, trace A. This programmed peak current can be TRACE A 500mA/DIV ILIM PIN OPEN TRACE B 500mA/DIV ILIM PIN GROUNDED 20µs/DIV LT1300 F2 Figure 2. Switch Pin Current With ILIM Floating or Grounded reduced by tying the ILIM pin to ground, causing 15µA to flow through R2 into Q3’s collector. Q3’s current causes a 10.4mV drop in R2 so that only an additional 7.6mV is required across R1 to turn off the switch. This corresponds to a 400mA switch current as shown in Figure 2, trace B. The reduced peak switch current reduces I2R loses in Q1, L1, C1 and D1. Efficiency can be increased by doing this provided that the accompanying reduction in full load output current is acceptable. Lower peak currents also extend alkaline battery life due to the alkaline cell’s high internal impedance. Typical operating waveforms are shown in Figure 3.

Burst Mode Operation in Action 5 LT1300 U W U U APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Output Voltage Selection The LT1300 can be selected to 3.3V or 5V under logic control or fixed at either by tying SELECT to ground or VIN respectively. It is permissible to tie SELECT to a voltage higher than VIN as long as it does not exceed 10V. Efficiency in 3.3V mode will be slightly less that in 5V mode due to the fact that the diode drop is a greater percentage of 3.3V than 5V. Since the bipolar switch in the LT1300 gets its base drive from VIN, no reduction in switch efficiency occurs when in 3.3V mode. When VIN exceeds the programmed output voltage the output will follow the input. This is characteristic of the simple step-up or “boost” converter topology. A circuit example that provides a regulated output with an input voltage above or below the output (called a buck-boost or SEPIC) is shown in the Typical Applications section.

Addition of R1 and C3 Limit Input Current at Startup VOUT 2VDIV Shutdown ILIM Function The LT1300’s current limit (ILIM) pin can be used for soft start. Upon start-up, switching regulators require maximum current from the supply. The high currents flowing can create IR drops along supply and ground lines and are especially demanding on alkaline batteries. By installing an R1 and C3 as shown in Figure 4, the switch current in the LT1300 is limited to 400mA until the 15µA flowing out of the ILIM pin charges up the 0.1µF capacitor. Input current is held to under 500mA while the output voltage ramps up to 5V as shown in Figure 5. The 1Meg resistor provides a discharge path for the capacitor without appreciably decreasing peak switch current. When the full capability of the LT1300 is not required, peak current can be reduced by changing the value of R3 as shown in Figure 6. With R3 = 0, switch current is limited to approximately 400mA. 6 IBATTERY 500mA/DIV VSHDN 10V/DIV 500µs/DIV REP RATE = 1Hz LT1300 F5 Figure 5.

Recommended Capacitors For full output power, the inductor should have a saturation current rating of 1.25A for worst-case current limit, although it is acceptable to bias an inductor 20% or more into saturation. Smaller inductors can be used in conjunction with the ILIM pin. Efficiency is significantly affected by inductor DCR. For best efficiency limit the DCR to 0.03Ω or less. Toroidal types are preferred in some cases due to their closed design and inherent EMI/RFI superiority. Recommended inductors are listed in Table 1. VENDOR AVX Sanyo Panasonic Capacitor Selection Low ESR capacitors are required for both input and output of the LT1300. ESR directly affects ripple voltage and efficiency. For surface mount applications AVX TPS series tantalum capacitors are recommended. These have been specially designed for SMPS and have low ESR along with high surge current ratings. For through-hole application Sanyo OS-CON capacitors offer extremely low ESR in a small size. Again, if peak switch current is reduced using the ILIM pin, capacitor requirements can be relaxed and smaller, higher ESR units can be used. Low frequency output ripple can be reduced by adding multiple output capacitors. If capacitance is reduced, output ripple will increase. Suggested capacitor sources are listed in Table 2.

Phillips Components makes this in surface mount as the PRLL5817. Motorola makes the MBRS130LT3 which is slightly better and also in surface mount. For lower output power a 1N4148 can be used although efficiency will suffer substantially. Layout Considerations The LT1300 is a high speed, high current device. The input capacitor must be no more than 0.2" from VIN (pin 6) and ground. Connect the PGND and GND (pins 8 and 1) together under the package. Place the inductor adjacent to SW (pin 7) and make the switch pin trace as short as possible. This keeps radiated noise to a minimum.
