This pin connects to the drains of the internal power MOSFET switches. VIN (Pin 2): Main Supply Pin. A ceramic bypass capacitor should be tied between this pin and GND (Pin 8). VOUT/VFB (Pin 6): Output Voltage Feedback. For the fixed output versions, connect this pin to the output supply. For the adjustable version, an external resistive divider should be used to divide the output voltage down for comparison to the 0.8V reference. ISET (Pin 3): Peak Current Set Input. A resistor from this pin to ground sets the peak current trip threshold. Leave floating for the maximum peak current (115mA). Short this pin to ground for the minimum peak current (25mA). A 1μA current is sourced out of this pin. HYST (Pin 7): Run Hysteresis Open-Drain Logic Output. This pin is pulled to ground when RUN (Pin 5) is below 1.2V. This pin can be used to adjust the RUN pin hysteresis. See Applications Information. SS (Pin 4): Soft-Start Control Input. A capacitor to ground at this pin sets the ramp time to full current output during start-up. A 5μA current is sourced out of this pin. If left floating, the ramp time defaults to an internal 0.75ms soft-start. Exposed Pad (Pin 9): Ground. Must be soldered to PCB ground for optimal electrical and thermal performance. GND (Pin 8): Chip Ground. RUN (Pin 5): Run Control Input. A voltage on this pin above 1.2V enables normal operation. Forcing this pin below 0.7V shuts down the LTC3642, reducing quiescent current to approximately 3μA. 3642f 6 LTC3642 BLOCK DIAGRAM VIN 1μA ISET 2 C2 3 – PEAK CURRENT COMPARATOR + RUN LOGIC AND SHOOTTHROUGH PREVENTION + 5 1.2V – SW L1 VOUT 1 C1 HYST 7 + REVERSE CURRENT COMPARATOR FEEDBACK COMPARATOR GND GND 8 9 – VOLTAGE REFERENCE + + – 0.800V 5μA SS 4 R1 VOUT/VFB 6 R2 PART NUMBER R1 R2 LTC3642 LTC3642-3.3 LTC3642-5 0 2.5M 4.2M d 800k 800k 3642 BD IMPLEMENT DIVIDER EXTERNALLY FOR ADJUSTABLE VERSION 3642f 7 LTC3642 OPERATION (Refer to Block Diagram) The LTC3642 is a step-down DC/DC converter with internal power switches that uses Burst Mode control, combining low quiescent current with high switching frequency, which results in high efficiency across a wide range of load currents. Burst Mode operation functions by using short “burst” cycles to ramp the inductor current through the internal power switches, followed by a sleep cycle where the power switches are off and the load current is supplied by the output capacitor. During the sleep cycle, the LTC3642 draws only 12μA of supply current. At light loads, the burst cycles are a small percentage of the total cycle time which minimizes the average supply current, greatly improving efficiency. Main Control Loop The feedback comparator monitors the voltage on the VFB pin and compares it to an internal 800mV reference. If this voltage is greater than the reference, the comparator activates a sleep mode in which the power switches and current comparators are disabled, reducing the VIN pin supply current to only 12μA. As the load current discharges the output capacitor, the voltage on the VFB pin decreases. When this voltage falls 5mV below the 800mV reference, the feedback comparator trips and enables burst cycles. At the beginning of the burst cycle, the internal high side power switch (P-channel MOSFET) is turned on and the inductor current begins to ramp up. The inductor current increases until either the current exceeds the peak current comparator threshold or the voltage on the VFB pin exceeds 800mV, at which time the high side power switch is turned off. The low side power switch (N-channel MOSFET) is then turned on. The inductor current ramps down until the reverse current comparator trips, signaling that the current is close to zero. If the voltage on the VFB pin is still less than the 800mV reference, the high side power switch is turned on again and another cycle commences. The average current during a burst cycle will normally be greater than the average load current. For this architecture, the maximum average output current is equal to half of the peak current. The hysteretic nature of this control architecture results in a switching frequency that is a function of the input voltage, output voltage and inductor value. This behavior provides inherent short-circuit protection. If the output is shorted to ground, the inductor current will decay very slowly during a single switching cycle. Since the high side switch turns on only when the inductor current is near zero, the LTC3642 inherently switches at a lower frequency during start-up or short-circuit conditions. Start-Up and Shutdown If the voltage on the RUN pin is less than 0.7V, the LTC3642 enters a shutdown mode in which all internal circuitry is disabled, reducing the DC supply current to 3μA. When the voltage on the RUN pin exceeds 1.21V, normal operation of the main control loop is enabled. The RUN pin comparator has 110mV of internal hysteresis, and therefore must fall below 1.1V to disable the main control loop. The HYST pin provides an added degree of flexibility for the RUN pin operation. This open-drain output is pulled to ground whenever the RUN comparator is not tripped, signaling that the LTC3642 is not in normal operation. In applications where the RUN pin is used to monitor the VIN voltage through an external resistive divider, the HYST pin can be used to increase the effective RUN comparator hysteresis. An internal 1ms soft-start function limits the ramp rate of the output voltage on start-up to prevent excessive input supply droop. If a longer ramp time and consequently less supply droop is desired, a capacitor can be placed from the SS pin to ground. The 5μA current that is sourced out of this pin will create a smooth voltage ramp on the capacitor. If this ramp rate is slower than the internal 1ms soft-start, then the output voltage will be limited by the ramp rate 3642f 8 LTC3642 OPERATION (Refer to Block Diagram) on the SS pin instead. The internal and external soft-start functions are reset on start-up and after undervoltage or overvoltage event on the input supply. In order to ensure a smooth start-up transition in any application, the internal soft-start also ramps the peak inductor current from 25mA during its 1ms ramp time to the set peak current threshold. The external ramp on the SS pin does not limit the peak inductor current during start-up; however, placing a capacitor from the ISET pin to ground does provide this capability. Peak Inductor Current Programming The offset of the peak current comparator nominally provides a peak inductor current of 115mA. This peak inductor current can be adjusted by placing a resistor from the ISET pin to ground. The 1μA current sourced out of this pin through the resistor generates a voltage that is translated into an offset in the peak current comparator, which limits the peak inductor current. 3642f 9 LTC3642 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The basic LTC3642 application circuit is shown on the front page of this data sheet. External component selection is determined by the maximum load current requirement and begins with the selection of the peak current programming resistor, RISET. The inductor value L can then be determined, followed by capacitors CIN and COUT. Peak Current Resistor Selection The peak current comparator has a maximum current limit of 115mA nominally, which results in a maximum average current of 55mA. For applications that demand less current, the peak current threshold can be reduced to as little as 25mA. This lower peak current allows the use of lower value, smaller components (input capacitor, output capacitor and inductor), resulting in lower input supply ripple and a smaller overall DC/DC converter. The threshold can be easily programmed with an appropriately chosen resistor (RISET) between the ISET pin and ground. The value of resistor for a particular peak current can be computed by using Figure 1 or the following equation: RISET = IPEAK • 9.09 • 106 where 25mA < IPEAK < 115mA. The peak current is internally limited to be within the range of 25mA to 115mA. Shorting the ISET pin to ground programs the current limit to 25mA, and leaving it floating sets the current limit to the maximum value of 115mA. When selecting this resistor value, be aware that the 1100 1000 900 800 RISET (k) 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 MAXIMUM LOAD CURRENT (mA) 50 3642 F01 Figure 1. RISET Selection maximum average output current for this architecture is limited to half of the peak current. Therefore, be sure to select a value that sets the peak current with enough margin to provide adequate load current under all foreseeable operating conditions. Inductor Selection The inductor, input voltage, output voltage and peak current determine the switching frequency of the LTC3642. For a given input voltage, output voltage and peak current, the inductor value sets the switching frequency when the output is in regulation. A good first choice for the inductor value can be determined by the following equation: ⎛ V ⎞ L = ⎜ OUT ⎟ ⎝ f • IPEAK ⎠ ⎛ V ⎞ • ⎜ 1 – OUT ⎟ VIN ⎠ ⎝ The variation in switching frequency with input voltage and inductance is shown in the following two figures for typical values of VOUT. For lower values of IPEAK, multiply the frequency in Figure 2 and Figure 3 by 115mA/IPEAK. An additional constraint on the inductor value is the LTC3642’s 100ns minimum on-time of the high side switch. Therefore, in order to keep the current in the inductor well controlled, the inductor value must be chosen so that it is larger than LMIN, which can be computed as follows: L MIN = VIN(MAX ) • tON(MIN) IPEAK(MAX ) where VIN(MAX) is the maximum input supply voltage for the application, tON(MIN) is 100ns, and IPEAK(MAX) is the maximum allowed peak inductor current. Although the above equation provides the minimum inductor value, higher efficiency is generally achieved with a larger inductor value, which produces a lower switching frequency. For a given inductor type, however, as inductance is increased DC resistance (DCR) also increases. Higher DCR translates into higher copper losses and lower current rating, both of which place an upper limit on the inductance. The recommended range of inductor values for small surface mount inductors as a function of peak current is shown in Figure 4. The values in this range are a good compromise between the tradeoffs discussed above. For applications 3642f 10 LTC3642 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION 700 VOUT = 5V ISET OPEN SWITCHING FREQUENCY (kHz) 600 where board area is not a limiting factor, inductors with larger cores can be used, which extends the recommended range of Figure 4 to larger values.

Switching Frequency for VOUT = 5V 500 VOUT = 3.3V ISET OPEN SWITCHING FREQUENCY (kHz) 450 Ferrite designs have very low core losses and are preferred at high switching frequencies, so design goals can concentrate on copper loss and preventing saturation. Ferrite core material saturates “hard,” which means that inductance collapses abruptly when the peak design current is exceeded. This results in an abrupt increase in inductor ripple current and consequently output voltage ripple. Do not allow the core to saturate! L = 47μH 400 350 L = 68μH 300 L = 100μH 250 200 L = 150μH 150 L = 220μH 100 L = 470μH 50 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 VIN INPUT VOLTAGE (V) 40 45 3642 F03 Figure 3. Switching Frequency for VOUT = 3.3V 10000 INDUCTOR VALUE (μH) Once the value for L is known, the type of inductor must be selected. High efficiency converters generally cannot afford the core loss found in low cost powdered iron cores, forcing the use of the more expensive ferrite cores. Actual core loss is independent of core size for a fixed inductor value but is very dependent of the inductance selected. As the inductance increases, core losses decrease. Unfortunately, increased inductance requires more turns of wire and therefore copper losses will increase. 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 do not radiate energy but generally cost more than powdered iron core inductors with similar characteristics. The choice of which style inductor to use mainly depends on the price vs size requirements and any radiated field/EMI requirements. New designs for surface mount inductors are available from Coiltronics, Coilcraft, Toko, Sumida and Vishay. CIN and COUT Selection 1000 100 10 100 The input capacitor, CIN, is needed to filter the trapezoidal current at the source of the top high side MOSFET. To prevent large ripple voltage, a low ESR input capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current should be used. Approximate RMS current is given by: PEAK INDUCTOR CURRENT (mA) 3642 F04 Figure 4. Recommended Inductor Values for Maximum Efficiency IRMS = IOUT(MAX ) • VOUT VIN • −1 VIN VOUT 3642f 11 LTC3642 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where IRMS = IOUT/2. This simple worst-case condition is commonly used for design because even significant deviations do not offer much relief. Note that ripple current ratings from capacitor manufacturers are often based only on 2000 hours of life which makes it advisable to further derate the capacitor, or choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than required. Several capacitors may also be paralleled to meet size or height requirements in the design. electrolytic capacitors have significantly higher ESR but can be used in cost-sensitive applications provided that consideration is given to ripple current ratings and longterm reliability. Ceramic capacitors have excellent low ESR characteristics but can have high voltage coefficient and audible piezoelectric effects. The high quality factor (Q) of ceramic capacitors in series with trace inductance can also lead to significant ringing. The output capacitor, COUT, filters the inductor’s ripple current and stores energy to satisfy the load current when the LTC3642 is in sleep. The output voltage ripple during a burst cycle is dominated by the output capacitor equivalent series resistance (ESR) and can be estimated by the following equation: Higher value, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now becoming available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple current, high voltage rating and low ESR make them ideal for switching regulator applications. However, care must be taken when these capacitors are used at the input and output. When a ceramic capacitor is used at the input and the power is supplied by a wall adapter through long wires, a load step at the output can induce ringing at the input, VIN. At best, this ringing can couple to the output and be mistaken as loop instability. At worst, a sudden inrush of current through the long wires can potentially cause a voltage spike at VIN large enough to damage the part. VOUT < ΔVOUT ≤ IPEAK • ESR 160 where the lower limit of VOUT/160 is due to the 5mV feedback comparator hysteresis. The value of the output capacitor must be large enough to accept the energy stored in the inductor without a large change in output voltage. Setting this voltage step equal to 1% of the output voltage, the output capacitor must be: COUT ⎛I ⎞ > 50 • L • ⎜ PEAK ⎟ ⎝V ⎠ 2 OUT Typically, a capacitor that satisfies the ESR requirement is adequate to filter the inductor ripple. To avoid overheating, the output capacitor must also be sized to handle the ripple current generated by the inductor. The worst-case ripple current in the output capacitor is given by IRMS = IPEAK/2. Multiple capacitors placed in parallel may be needed to meet the ESR and RMS current handling requirements. Dry tantalum, special polymer, aluminum electrolytic, and ceramic capacitors are all available in surface mount packages. Special polymer capacitors offer very low ESR but have lower capacitance density than other types. Tantalum capacitors have the highest capacitance density but it is important only to use types that have been surge tested for use in switching power supplies. Aluminum Using Ceramic Input and Output Capacitors For applications with inductive source impedance, such as a long wire, a series RC network may be required in parallel with CIN to dampen the ringing of the input supply. Figure 5 shows this circuit and the typical values required to dampen the ringing. LTC3642 LIN VIN R= LIN CIN 4 • CIN 3642 F05 CIN Figure 5. Series RC to Reduce VIN Ringing Output Voltage Programming For the adjustable version, the output voltage is set by an external resistive divider according to the following equation: ⎛ R1⎞ VOUT = 0.8 V • ⎜ 1+ ⎟ ⎝ R2 ⎠ 3642f 12 LTC3642 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The resistive divider allows the VFB pin to sense a fraction of the output voltage as shown in Figure 6.

Setting the Output Voltage To minimize the no-load supply current, resistor values in the megohm range should be used. The increase in supply current due to the feedback resistors can be calculated from: ⎛ V ⎞ ΔIVIN = ⎜ OUT ⎟ ⎝ R1+ R2 ⎠ ⎛V ⎞ • ⎜ OUT ⎟ ⎝ VIN ⎠ The LTC3642 has a low power shutdown mode controlled by the RUN pin. Pulling the RUN pin below 0.7V puts the LTC3642 into a low quiescent current shutdown mode (IQ ~ 3μA). When the RUN pin is greater than 1.2V, the controller is enabled. Figure 7 shows examples of configurations for driving the RUN pin from logic. VIN LTC3642 RUN ⎛ R1⎞ Ri sin g VIN UVLO Threshold = 1.21V • ⎜ 1+ ⎟ ⎝ R2 ⎠ ⎛ R1 ⎞ Fallin g VIN UVLO Threshold = 1.10 V • ⎜ 1+ ⎝ R2 + R3 ⎟⎠ Run Pin with Programmable Hysteresis VSUPPLY Specific values for these UVLO thresholds can be computed from the following equations: 4.7M LTC3642 RUN 3642 F07 Figure 7. RUN Pin Interface to Logic The RUN pin can alternatively be configured as a precise undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on the VIN supply with a resistive divider from VIN to ground. The RUN pin comparator nominally provides 10% hysteresis when used in this method; however, additional hysteresis may be added with the use of the HYST pin. The HYST pin is an opendrain output that is pulled to ground whenever the RUN comparator is not tripped. A simple resistive divider can be used as shown in Figure 8 to meet specific VIN voltage requirements. The minimum value of these thresholds is limited to the internal VIN UVLO thresholds that are shown in the Electrical Characteristics table. The current that flows through this divider will directly add to the shutdown, sleep and active current of the LTC3642, and care should be taken to minimize the impact of this current on the overall efficiency of the application circuit. Resistor values in the megohm range may be required to keep the impact on quiescent shutdown and sleep currents low. Be aware that the HYST pin cannot be allowed to exceed its absolute maximum rating of 6V. To keep the voltage on the HYST pin from exceeding 6V, the following relation should be satisfied: ⎛ ⎞ R3 < 6V VIN(MAX ) • ⎜ ⎝ R1+ R2 + R3 ⎟⎠ The RUN pin may also be directly tied to the VIN supply for applications that do not require the programmable undervoltage lockout feature. In this configuration, switching is enabled when VIN surpasses the internal undervoltage lockout threshold. Soft-Start The internal 0.75ms soft-start is implemented by ramping both the effective reference voltage from 0V to 0.8V and the peak current limit set by the ISET pin (25mA to 115mA). 3642f 13 LTC3642 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION To increase the duration of the reference voltage soft-start, place a capacitor from the SS pin to ground. An internal 5μA pull-up current will charge this capacitor, resulting in a soft-start ramp time given by: tSS = CSS • 0.8 V 5μA When the LTC3642 detects a fault condition (input supply undervoltage or overvoltage) or when the RUN pin falls below 1.1V, the SS pin is quickly pulled to ground and the internal soft-start timer is reset. This ensures an orderly restart when using an external soft-start capacitor. The duration of the 1ms internal peak current soft-start may be increased by placing a capacitor from the ISET pin to ground. The peak current soft-start will ramp from 25mA to the final peak current value determined by a resistor from ISET to ground. A 1μA current is sourced out of the ISET pin. With only a capacitor connected between ISET and ground, the peak current ramps linearly from 25mA to 115mA, and the peak current soft-start time can be expressed as: tSS(ISET) = CISET • 0.8 V 1μA A linear ramp of peak current appears as a quadratic waveform on the output voltage. For the case where the peak current is reduced by placing a resistor from ISET to ground, the peak current offset ramps as a decaying exponential with a time constant of RISET • CISET. For this case, the peak current soft-start time is approximately 3 • RISET • CISET. Unlike the SS pin, the ISET pin does not get pulled to ground during an abnormal event; however, if the ISET pin is floating (programmed to 115mA peak current), the SS and ISET pins may be tied together and connected to a capacitor to ground. For this special case, both the peak current and the reference voltage will soft-start on power-up and after fault conditions. The ramp time for this combination is CSS(ISET) • (0.8V/6μA). Efficiency Considerations The efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to the output power divided by the input power times 100%. It is often useful to analyze individual losses to determine what is limiting the efficiency and which change would produce the most improvement. Efficiency can be expressed as: Efficiency = 100% – (L1 + L2 + L3 + ...) where L1, L2, etc. are the individual losses as a percentage of input power. Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce losses, two main sources usually account for most of the losses: VIN operating current and I2R losses. The VIN operating current dominates the efficiency loss at very low load currents whereas the I2R loss dominates the efficiency loss at medium to high load currents. 1. The VIN operating current comprises two components: The DC supply current as given in the electrical characteristics and the internal MOSFET gate charge currents. The gate charge current results from switching the gate capacitance of the internal power MOSFET switches. Each time the gate is switched from high to low to high again, a packet of charge, dQ, moves from VIN to ground. The resulting dQ/dt is the current out of VIN that is typically larger than the DC bias current. 2. I2R losses are calculated from the resistances of the internal switches, RSW, and external inductor RL. When switching, the average output current flowing through the inductor is “chopped” between the high side PMOS switch and the low side NMOS switch. Thus, the series resistance looking back into the switch pin is a function of the top and bottom switch RDS(ON) values and the duty cycle (DC = VOUT/VIN) as follows: RSW = (RDS(ON)TOP)DC + (RDS(ON)BOT)(1 – DC) The RDS(ON) for both the top and bottom MOSFETs can be obtained from the Typical Performance Characteristics curves. Thus, to obtain the I2R losses, simply add RSW to RL and multiply the result by the square of the average output current: I2R Loss = IO2(RSW + RL) 3642f 14 LTC3642 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Other losses, including CIN and COUT ESR dissipative losses and inductor core losses, generally account for less than 2% of the total power loss. Thermal Considerations The LTC3642 does not dissipate much heat due to its high efficiency and low peak current level. Even in worst-case conditions (high ambient temperature, maximum peak current and high duty cycle), the junction temperature will exceed ambient temperature by only a few degrees. Design Example As a design example, consider using the LTC3642 in an application with the following specifications: VIN = 24V, VOUT = 3.3V, IOUT = 50mA, f = 250kHz. Furthermore, assume for this example that switching should start when VIN is greater than 12V and should stop when VIN is less than 8V. First, calculate the inductor value that gives the required switching frequency: ⎛ ⎞ 3.3V L=⎜ ⎝ 250kHz • 115mA ⎟⎠ ⎛ 3.3V ⎞ • ⎜ 1– ≅ 100μH 24V ⎟⎠ ⎝ Next, verify that this value meets the LMIN requirement. For this input voltage and peak current, the minimum inductor value is: 24V • 100ns L MIN = ≅ 22μH 115mA Therefore, the minimum inductor requirement is satisfied, and the 100μH inductor value may be used. Next, CIN and COUT are selected. For this design, CIN should be size for a current rating of at least: COUT will be selected based on the ESR that is required to satisfy the output voltage ripple requirement. For a 1% output ripple, the value of the output capacitor ESR can be calculated from: ΔVOUT = 0.01 ≤ 115mA • ESR A capacitor with a 90mΩ ESR satisfies this requirement. A 10μF ceramic capacitor has significantly less ESR than 90mΩ. The output voltage can now be programmed by choosing the values of R1 and R2. Choose R2 = 240k and calculate R1 as: ⎛V ⎞ R1 = ⎜ OUT – 1⎟ • R2 = 750k ⎝ 0.8 V ⎠ The undervoltage lockout requirement on VIN can be satisfied with a resistive divider from VIN to the RUN and HYST pins. Choose R1 = 2M and calculate R2 and R3 as follows: ⎞ ⎛ 1.21V R2 = ⎜ ⎟ • R1 = 224k ⎝ VIN(RISING) – 1.21V ⎠ ⎛ ⎞ 1.1V R3 = ⎜ ⎟ • R1 – R2 = 90.8k ⎝ VIN(FALLING) – 1.1V ⎠ Choose standard values for R2 = 226k and R3 = 91k. The ISET pin should be left open in this example to select maximum peak current (115mA). Figure 9 shows a complete schematic for this design example. 100μH VIN 24V VIN 1μF 2M Due to the low peak current of the LTC3642, decoupling the VIN supply with a 1μF capacitor is adequate for most applications.

Check the following in your layout: 1. Large switched currents flow in the power switches and input capacitor. The loop formed by these components should be as small as possible. A ground plane is recommended to minimize ground impedance. 3. Keep the switching node, SW, away from all sensitive small signal nodes. The rapid transitions on the switching node can couple to high impedance nodes, in particular VFB, and create increased output ripple. 4. Flood all unused area on all layers with copper. Flooding with copper will reduce the temperature rise of power components. You can connect the copper areas to any DC net (VIN, VOUT, GND or any other DC rail in your system). 2. Connect the (+) terminal of the input capacitor, CIN, as close as possible to the VIN pin. This capacitor provides the AC current into the internal power MOSFETs.
