With a unique single feedback pin architecture it is capable of boost, SEPIC or inverting configurations. Burst Mode operation consumes as low as 9µA quiescent current to maintain high efficiency at very low output currents, while keeping typical output ripple below 15mV. nn APPLICATIONS Industrial and Automotive Telecom nn Medical Diagnostic Equipment nn Portable Electronics nn nn An external compensation pin allows optimization of loop bandwidth over a wide range of input and output voltages and programmable switching frequencies between 300kHz and 2MHz. A SYNC/MODE pin allows synchronization to an external clock. It can also be used to select between burst or pulse-skip modes of operation with or without Spread Spectrum Frequency Modulation for low EMI. For increased efficiency, a BIAS pin can accept a second input to supply the INTVCC regulator. Additional features include frequency foldback and programmable soft-start to control inductor current during startup. The LT8361 is available in a thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package with four pins removed for high voltage pin spacings.

The LT8361 is shut down when this pin is low and active when this pin is high. Below an accurate 1.6V threshold, the part enters undervoltage lockout and stops switching. This allows an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold to be programmed for system input voltage by resistively dividing down system input voltage to the EN/UVLO pin. An 80mV pin hysteresis ensures part switching resumes when the pin exceeds 1.68V. EN/UVLO pin voltage below 0.2V reduces VIN current below 1µA. If shutdown and UVLO features are not required, the pin can be tied directly to system input. RT: A resistor from this pin to the exposed pad GND copper (near FBX) programs switching frequency. VIN: Input Supply. This pin must be locally bypassed. Be sure to place the positive terminal of the input capacitor as close as possible to the VIN pin, and the negative terminal as close as possible to the exposed pad PGND copper (near EN/UVLO). INTVCC: Regulated 3.2V Supply for Internal Loads. The INTVCC pin must be bypassed with a 1µF low ESR ceramic capacitor to GND. No additional components or loading is allowed on this pin. INTVCC draws power from the BIAS pin if 4.4V ≤ BIAS ≤ VIN, otherwise INTVCC is powered by the VIN pin. NC: No Internal Connection. Leave this pin open. BIAS: Second Input Supply for Powering INTVCC. Removes the majority of INTVCC current from the VIN pin to improve efficiency when 4.4V ≤ BIAS ≤ VIN. If unused, tie the pin to GND. VC: Error Amplifier Output Pin. Tie external compensation network to this pin. FBX: Voltage Regulation Feedback Pin for Positive or Negative Outputs. Connect this pin to a resistor divider between the output and the exposed pad GND copper (near FBX). FBX reduces the switching frequency during start-up and fault conditions when FBX is close to 0V. SS: Soft-Start Pin. Connect a capacitor from this pin to GND copper (near FBX) to control the ramp rate of inductor current during converter start-up. SS pin charging current is 2μA. An internal 220Ω MOSFET discharges this pin during shutdown or fault conditions. SYNC/MODE: This pin allows five selectable modes for optimization of performance. SYNC/MODE Pin Input Capable Mode(s) of Operation (1) GND or <0.14V Burst (2) External Clock Pulse-skip/Sync (3) 100k Resistor to GND Burst/SSFM (4) Float (pin open) Pulse-skip (5) INTVCC or >1.7V Pulse-skip/SSFM where the selectable modes of operation are, Burst = low IQ, low output ripple operation at light loads Pulse-skip = skipped pulse(s) at light load (aligned to clock) Sync = switching frequency synchronized to external clock SSFM = Spread Spectrum Frequency Modulation for low EMI SW1, SW2 (SW): Output of the Internal Power Switch. Minimize the metal trace area connected to these pins to reduce EMI. PGND,GND: Power Ground and Signal Ground for the IC. The package has an exposed pad underneath the IC which is the best path for heat out of the package. The pin should be soldered to a continuous copper ground plane under the device to reduce die temperature and increase the power capability of the LT8361. Connect power ground components to the exposed pad copper exiting near the EN/ UVLO and SW pins. Connect signal ground components to the exposed pad copper exiting near the VC and FBX pins.

Operation can be best understood by referring to the Block Diagram. An oscillator (with frequency programmed by a resistor at the RT pin) turns on the internal power switch at the beginning of each clock cycle. Current in the inductor then increases until the current comparator trips and turns off the power switch. The peak inductor current at which the switch turns off is controlled by the voltage on the VC pin. The error amplifier servos the VC pin by comparing the voltage on the FBX pin with an internal reference voltage (1.60V or –0.80V, depending on the chosen topology). When the load current increases it causes a reduction in the FBX pin voltage relative to the internal reference. This causes the error amplifier to increase the VC pin voltage until the new load current is satisfied. In this manner, the error amplifier sets the correct peak switch current level to keep the output in regulation. The LT8361 is capable of generating either a positive or negative output voltage with a single FBX pin. It can be configured as a boost or SEPIC converter to generate a positive output voltage, or as an inverting converter to generate a negative output voltage. When configured as a Boost converter, as shown in the Block Diagram, the FBX pin is pulled up to the internal bias voltage of 1.60V by a voltage divider (R1 and R2) connected from VOUT to GND. Amplifier A2 becomes inactive and amplifier A1 performs (inverting) amplification from FBX to VC. When the LT8361 is in an inverting configuration, the FBX pin is pulled down to –0.80V by a voltage divider from VOUT to GND. Amplifier A1 becomes inactive and amplifier A2 performs (non-inverting) amplification from FBX to VC. If the EN/UVLO pin voltage is below 1.6V, the LT8361 enters undervoltage lockout (UVLO), and stops switching. When the EN/UVLO pin voltage is above 1.68V (typical), the LT8361 resumes switching. If the EN/UVLO pin voltage is below 0.2V, the LT8361 draws less than 1µA from VIN. For the SYNC/MODE pin tied to ground or <0.14V, the LT8361 will enter low output ripple Burst Mode operation for ultra low quiescent current during light loads to maintain high efficiency. For a 100k resistor from SYNC/ MODE pin to GND, the LT8361 uses Burst Mode operation for improved efficiency at light loads but seamlessly transitions to Spread-Spectrum Modulation of switching frequency for low EMI at heavy loads. For the SYNC/ MODE pin floating (left open), the LT8361 uses pulseskipping mode, at the expense of hundreds of microamps, to maintain output voltage regulation at light loads by skipping switch pulses. For the SYNC/MODE pin tied to INTVCC or >1.7V, the LT8361 uses pulse-skipping mode and performs Spread-Spectrum Modulation of switching frequency. For the SYNC/MODE pin driven by an external clock, the converter switching frequency is synchronized to that clock and pulse-skipping mode is also enabled. See the Pin Functions section for SYNC/MODE pin. The LT8361 includes a BIAS pin to improve efficiency across all loads. The LT8361 intelligently chooses between the VIN and BIAS pins to supply the INTVCC for best efficiency. The INTVCC supply current can be drawn from the BIAS pin instead of the VIN pin for 4.4V ≤ BIAS ≤ VIN. Protection features ensure the immediate disable of switching and reset of the SS pin for any of the following faults: internal reference UVLO, INTVCC UVLO, switch current > 1.5× maximum limit, EN/UVLO < 1.6V or junction temperature > 170°C. Rev 0 For more information www.analog.com 9 LT8361 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION ACHIEVING ULTRALOW QUIESCENT CURRENT To enhance efficiency at light loads the LT8361 uses a low ripple Burst Mode architecture. This keeps the output capacitor charged to the desired output voltage while minimizing the input quiescent current and output ripple. In Burst Mode operation, the LT8361 delivers single small pulses of current to the output capacitor followed by sleep periods where the output power is supplied by the output capacitor. While in sleep mode, the LT8361 consumes only 9µA. As the output load decreases, the frequency of single current pulses decreases (see Figure 1) and the percentage of time the LT8361 is in sleep mode increases, resulting in much higher light load efficiency than for typical converters. To optimize the quiescent current performance at light loads, the current in the feedback resistor divider must be minimized as it appears to the output as load current. In addition, all possible leakage currents from the output should also be minimized as they all add to the equivalent output load. The largest contributor to leakage current can be due to the reverse biased leakage of the Schottky diode (see Diode Selection in the Applications Information section). While in Burst Mode operation, the current limit of the switch is approximately 400mA resulting in the output voltage ripple shown in Figure 2. Increasing the output capacitance will decrease the output ripple proportionally. As the output load ramps upward from zero the switching frequency will increase but only up to the fixed frequency defined by the resistor at the RT pin as shown in Figure 1. SWITCHING FREQUENCY (MHz) 2.5 FRONT PAGE APPLICATION VIN = 12V VOUT = 48V 2.0 VOUT 2mV/DIV 10µs/DIV 8361 F02 Figure 2. Burst Mode Operation The output load at which the LT8361 reaches the fixed frequency varies based on input voltage, output voltage, and inductor choice. PROGRAMMING INPUT TURN-ON AND TURN-OFF THRESHOLDS WITH EN/UVLO PIN The EN/UVLO pin voltage controls whether the LT8361 is enabled or is in a shutdown state. A 1.6V reference and a comparator A6 with built-in hysteresis (typical 80mV) allow the user to accurately program the system input voltage at which the IC turns on and off (see the Block Diagram). The typical input falling and rising threshold voltages can be calculated by the following equations: R3 + R4 R4 R3 + R4 = 1.68 • R4 VIN(FALLING,UVLO(–)) = 1.60 • VIN(RISING, UVLO(+)) VIN current is reduced below 1µA when the EN/UVLO pin voltage is less than 0.2V. The EN/UVLO pin can be connected directly to the input supply VIN for always-enabled operation. A logic input can also control the EN/UVLO pin. When operating in Burst Mode operation for light load currents, the current through the R3 and R4 network can easily be greater than the supply current consumed by the LT8361. Therefore, R3 and R4 should be large enough to minimize their effect on efficiency at light loads. 1.5 1.0 0.5 0 IL 200mA/DIV 0 20 40 60 80 LOAD CURRENT (mA) 100 8361 F01 Figure 1. Burst Frequency vs Load Current 10 Rev 0 For more information www.analog.com LT8361 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION INTVCC REGULATOR Synchronization and Mode Selection A low dropout (LDO) linear regulator, supplied from VIN, produces a 3.2V supply at the INTVCC pin. A minimum 1µF low ESR ceramic capacitor must be used to bypass the INTVCC pin to ground to supply the high transient currents required by the internal power MOSFET gate driver. To select low ripple Burst Mode operation, for high efficiency at light loads, tie the SYNC/MODE pin below 0.14V (this can be ground or a logic low output). No additional components or loading is allowed on this pin. The INTVCC rising threshold (to allow soft-start and switching) is typically 2.65V. The INTVCC falling threshold (to stop switching and reset soft-start) is typically 2.5V. To improve efficiency across all loads, the majority of INTVCC current can be drawn from the BIAS pin (4.4V ≤ BIAS ≤ VIN) instead of the VIN pin. For SEPIC applications with VIN often greater than VOUT, the BIAS pin can be directly connected to VOUT. If the BIAS pin is connected to a supply other than VOUT, be sure to bypass the pin with a local ceramic capacitor. Programming Switching Frequency The LT8361 uses a constant frequency PWM architecture that can be programmed to switch from 300kHz to 2MHz by using a resistor tied from the RT pin to ground. A table showing the necessary RT value for a desired switching frequency is in Table 1. The RT resistor required for a desired switching frequency can be calculated using: RT = 51.2 – 5.6 fOSC where RT is in kΩ and fOSC is the desired switching frequency in MHz. Table 1. SW Frequency vs RT Value fOSC (MHz) RT (kΩ) 0.3 165 0.45 107 0.75 63.4 1 45.3 1.5 28.7 2 20 To synchronize the LT8361 oscillator to an external frequency connect a square wave (with 20% to 80% duty cycle) to the SYNC pin. The square wave amplitude should have valleys that are below 0.4V and peaks above 1.7V (up to 6V). The LT8361 will not enter Burst Mode operation at low output loads while synchronized to an external clock, but instead will pulse skip to maintain regulation. The LT8361 may be synchronized over a 300kHz to 2MHz range. The RT resistor should be chosen to set the LT8361 switching frequency equal to or below the lowest synchronization input. For example, if the synchronization signal will be 500kHz and higher, the RT should be selected for 500kHz. For some applications it is desirable for the LT8361 to operate in pulse-skipping mode, offering two major differences from Burst Mode operation. Firstly, the clock stays awake at all times and all switching cycles are aligned to the clock. Secondly, the full switching frequency is maintained at lower output load than in Burst Mode operation. These two differences come at the expense of increased quiescent current. To enable pulse-skipping mode, float the SYNC pin. To improve EMI/EMC, the LT8361 can provide spread spectrum frequency modulation (SSFM). This feature varies the clock with a triangle frequency modulation of 20%. For example, if the LT8361's frequency was programmed to switch at 2MHz, spread spectrum mode will modulate the oscillator between 2MHz and 2.4MHz. The 20% modulation will occur at a frequency: fOSC/256 where fOSC is the switching frequency programmed using the RT pin. The LT8361 can also be configured to operate in pulseskipping/SSFM mode by tying the SYNC/MODE pin above 1.7V. The LT8361 can also be configured for Burst Mode operation at light loads (for improved efficiency) and SSFM at heavy loads (for low EMI) by tying a 100k from the SYNC/MODE pin to GND. Rev 0 For more information www.analog.com 11 LT8361 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION DUTY CYCLE CONSIDERATION The LT8361 minimum on-time, minimum off-time and switching frequency (fOSC) define the allowable minimum and maximum duty cycles of the converter (see Minimum On-Time, Minimum Off-Time, and Switching Frequency in the Electrical Characteristics table). Minimum Allowable Duty Cycle = Minimum On-Time(MAX) • fOSC(MAX) Maximum Allowable Duty Cycle = 1 – Minimum Off-Time(MAX) • fOSC(MAX) The required switch duty cycle range for a Boost converter operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM) can be calculated as: DMIN = 1 – DMAX = 1 – VIN(MAX) VOUT + VD VIN(MIN) VOUT + VD where VD is the diode forward voltage drop. If the above duty cycle calculations for a given application violate the minimum and/or maximum allowed duty cycles for the LT8361, operation in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) might provide a solution. For the same VIN and VOUT levels, operation in DCM does not demand as low a duty cycle as in CCM. DCM also allows higher duty cycle operation than CCM. The additional advantage of DCM is the removal of the limitations to inductor value and duty cycle required to avoid sub-harmonic oscillations and the right half plane zero (RHPZ). While DCM provides these benefits, the trade-off is higher inductor peak current, lower available output power and reduced efficiency. SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE The output voltage is programmed with a resistor divider from the output to the FBX pin. Choose the resistor values for a positive output voltage according to: ⎛V ⎞ R1 = R2 • ⎜ OUT – 1⎟ ⎝ 1.60V ⎠ 12 Choose the resistor values for a negative output voltage according to: ⎛ |V | ⎞ R1 = R2 • ⎜ OUT – 1⎟ ⎝ 0.80V ⎠ The locations of R1 and R2 are shown in the Block Diagram. 1% resistors are recommended to maintain output voltage accuracy. Higher-value FBX divider resistors result in the lowest input quiescent current and highest light-load efficiency. FBX divider resistors R1 and R2 are usually in the range from 25k to 1M. SOFT-START The LT8361 contains several features to limit peak switch currents and output voltage (VOUT) overshoot during start-up or recovery from a fault condition. The primary purpose of these features is to prevent damage to external components or the load. High peak switch currents during start-up may occur in switching regulators. Since VOUT is far from its final value, the feedback loop is saturated and the regulator tries to charge the output capacitor as quickly as possible, resulting in large peak currents. A large surge current may cause inductor saturation or power switch failure. The LT8361 addresses this mechanism with a programmable soft-start function. As shown in the Block Diagram, the soft-start function controls the ramp of the power switch current by controlling the ramp of VC through Q1. This allows the output capacitor to be charged gradually toward its final value while limiting the start-up peak currents. Figure 3 shows the output voltage and supply current for the first page Typical Application. It can be seen that both the output voltage and supply current come up gradually. FAULT PROTECTION An inductor overcurrent fault (> 3.75A) and/or INTVCC undervoltage (INTVCC < 2.5V) and/or thermal lockout (TJ > 170°C) will immediately prevent switching, will reset the SS pin and will pull down VC. Once all faults are removed, the LT8361 will soft-start VC and hence inductor peak current. Rev 0 For more information www.analog.com LT8361 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION IL1 + IL2 1A/DIV VOUT 10V/DIV 200µs/DIV 8361 F02 Figure 3. Soft-Start Waveforms FREQUENCY FOLDBACK During start-up or fault conditions in which VOUT is very low, extremely small duty cycles may be required to maintain control of inductor peak current. The minimum on-time limitation of the power switch might prevent these low duty cycles from being achievable. In this scenario inductor current rise will exceed inductor current fall during each cycle, causing inductor current to “walk up” beyond the switch current limit. The LT8361 provides protection from this by folding back switching frequency whenever FBX or SS pins are close to GND (low VOUT levels or start-up). This frequency foldback provides a larger switch-off time, allowing inductor current to fall enough each cycle (see Normalized Switching Frequency vs FBX Voltage in the Typical Performance Characteristics section). THERMAL LOCKOUT If the LT8361 die temperature reaches 170°C (typical), the part will stop switching and go into thermal lockout. When the die temperature has dropped by 5°C (nominal), the part will resume switching with a soft-started inductor peak current. network is usually connected from the VC pin to GND. The Block Diagram shows the typical VC compensation network. For most applications, the capacitor should be in the range of 100pF to 10nF, and the resistor should be in the range of 5k to 100k. A small capacitor is often connected in parallel with the RC compensation network to attenuate the VC voltage ripple induced from the output voltage ripple through the internal error amplifier. The parallel capacitor usually ranges in value from 2.2pF to 22pF. A practical approach to designing the compensation network is to start with one of the circuits in this data sheet that is similar to your application, and tune the compensation network to optimize the performance. Stability should then be checked across all operating conditions, including load current, input voltage and temperature. Application Note 76 is a good reference. THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS Care should be taken in the layout of the PCB to ensure good heat sinking of the LT8361. Both packages have an exposed pad underneath the IC which is the best path for heat out of the package. The exposed pad should be soldered to a continuous copper ground plane under the device to reduce die temperature and increase the power capability of the LT8361. The ground plane should be connected to large copper layers to spread heat dissipated by the LT8361. Power dissipation within the LT8361 (PDISS_LT8361) can be estimated by subtracting the inductor and Schottky diode power losses from the total power losses calculated in an efficiency measurement. The junction temperature of LT8361 can then be estimated by: TJ(LT8361) = TA + θ JA • PDISS_LT8361 APPLICATION CIRCUITS COMPENSATION Loop compensation determines the stability and transient performance. The LT8361 uses current mode control to regulate the output which simplifies loop compensation. The optimum values depend on the converter topology, the component values and the operating conditions (including the input voltage, load current, etc.). To compensate the feedback loop of the LT8361, a series resistor-capacitor The LT8361 can be configured for different topologies. The first topology to be analyzed will be the boost converter, followed by the SEPIC and inverting converters. Boost Converter: Switch Duty Cycle The LT8361 can be configured as a boost converter for the applications where the converter output voltage is higher than the input voltage. Remember that boost converters are Rev 0 For more information www.analog.com 13 LT8361 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION not short-circuit protected. Under a shorted output condition, the inductor current is limited only by the input supply capability. For applications requiring a step-up converter that is short-circuit protected, please refer to the Applications Information section covering SEPIC converters. The conversion ratio as a function of duty cycle is: VOUT 1 = VIN 1− D in continuous conduction mode (CCM). For a boost converter operating in CCM, the duty cycle of the main switch can be calculated based on the output voltage (VOUT) and the input voltage (VIN). The maximum duty cycle (DMAX) occurs when the converter has the minimum input voltage: DMAX = VOUT − VIN(MIN) VOUT Discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) provides higher conversion ratios at a given frequency at the cost of reduced efficiencies, higher switching currents, and lower available output power. Boost Converter: Maximum Output Current Capability and Inductor Selection For the boost topology, the maximum average inductor current is: I L(MAX)(AVG) = IO(MAX) • 1 1 • 1 − DMAX η where η (< 1.0) is the converter efficiency. Due to the current limit of its internal power switch, the LT8361 should be used in a boost converter whose maximum output current (IO(MAX)) is: I O(MAX) ≤ VIN(MIN) VOUT • (2A − 0.5 • ΔISW ) • η Minimum possible inductor value and switching frequency should also be considered since they will increase inductor ripple current ∆ISW. The inductor ripple current ∆ISW has a direct effect on the choice of the inductor value and the converter’s maximum 14 output current capability. Choosing smaller values of ∆ISW increases output current capability, but requires large inductances and reduces the current loop gain (the converter will approach voltage mode). Accepting larger values of ∆ISW provides fast transient response and allows the use of low inductances, but results in higher input current ripple and greater core losses, and reduces output current capability. It is recommended to choose a ∆ISW of approximately 0.75A. Given an operating input voltage range, and having chosen the operating frequency and ripple current in the inductor, the inductor value of the boost converter can be determined using the following equation: L = VIN(MIN) ΔISW • fOSC • DMAX The peak inductor current is the switch current limit (maximum 3.4A), and the RMS inductor current is approximately equal to IL(MAX)(AVG). Choose an inductor that can handle at least 3.4A without saturating, and ensure that the inductor has a low DCR (copper-wire resistance) to minimize I2R power losses. Note that in some applications, the current handling requirements of the inductor can be lower, such as in the SEPIC topology where each inductor only carries one-half of the total switch current. For better efficiency, use similar valued inductors with a larger volume. Many different sizes and shapes are available from various manufacturers (see Table 2). Choose a core material that has low losses at the programmed switching frequency, such as a ferrite core. The final value chosen for the inductor should not allow peak inductor currents to exceed 2A in steady state at maximum load. Due to tolerances, be sure to account for minimum possible inductance value, switching frequency and converter efficiency. For inductor current operation in CCM and duty cycles above 50%, the LT8361's internal slope compensation prevents sub-harmonic oscillations provided the inductor value exceeds a minimum value given by: L> VIN (–5 •D2 +9 •D– 1) • (fOSC ) • (2 •D– 1) (1–D) Lower L values are allowed if the inductor current operates in DCM or duty cycle operation is below 50%.

The Output Ripple Waveform of a Boost Converter BOOST CONVERTER: INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION Bypass the input of the LT8361 circuit with a ceramic capacitor of X7R or X5R type placed as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins. Y5V types have poor performance over temperature and applied voltage, and should not be used. A 4.7µF to 10µF ceramic capacitor is adequate to bypass the LT8361 and will easily handle the ripple current. If the input power source has high impedance, or there is significant inductance due to long wires or cables, additional bulk capacitance may be necessary. This can be provided with a low performance electrolytic capacitor. A precaution regarding the ceramic input capacitor concerns the maximum input voltage rating of the LT8361. A ceramic input capacitor combined with trace or cable inductance forms a high quality (under damped) tank circuit. If the LT8361 circuit is plugged into a live supply, the input voltage can ring to twice its nominal value, possibly exceeding the LT8361’s voltage rating. This situation is easily avoided (see Application Note 88). BOOST CONVERTER: OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) capacitors should be used at the output to minimize the output ripple voltage. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are an excellent choice, as they are small and have extremely low ESR. Use X5R or X7R types. This choice will provide low output ripple and good transient response. A 4.7µF to 47µF output capacitor is sufficient for most applications, but systems with very low output currents may need only a 1µF or 2.2µF output capacitor. Solid tantalum or OS-CON capacitor can be used, but they will occupy more board area than a ceramic and will have a higher ESR. Always use a capacitor with a sufficient voltage rating. Contributions of ESR (equivalent series resistance), ESL (equivalent series inductance) and the bulk capacitance must be considered when choosing the correct output capacitors for a given output ripple voltage. The effect of these three parameters (ESR, ESL and bulk C) on the output voltage ripple waveform for a typical boost converter is illustrated in Figure 4. The choice of component(s) begins with the maximum acceptable ripple voltage (expressed as a percentage of the output voltage), and how this ripple should be divided between the ESR step ∆VESR and the charging/discharging ∆VCOUT. For the purpose of simplicity, we will choose 2% for the maximum output ripple, to be divided equally between ∆VESR and ∆VCOUT. This percentage ripple will change, depending on the requirements of the application, and the following equations can easily be modified. For a 1% contribution to the total ripple voltage, the ESR of the output capacitor can be determined using the following equation: ESRCOUT ≤ 0.01 • VOUT ID(PEAK) For the bulk C component, which also contributes 1% to the total ripple: COUT ≥ IO(MAX) 0.01 • VOUT • fOSC The output capacitor in a boost regulator experiences high RMS ripple currents, as shown in Figure 4. The RMS ripple current rating of the output capacitor can be determined using the following equation: IRMS(COUT) ≥ IO(MAX) • DMAX 1 − DMAX Rev 0 For more information www.analog.com 15 LT8361 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Multiple capacitors are often paralleled to meet ESR requirements. Typically, once the ESR requirement is satisfied, the capacitance is adequate for filtering and has the required RMS current rating. Additional ceramic capacitors in parallel are commonly used to reduce the effect of parasitic inductance in the output capacitor, which reduces high frequency switching noise on the converter output. CERAMIC CAPACITORS Ceramic capacitors are small, robust and have very low ESR. However, ceramic capacitors can cause problems when used with the LT8361 due to their piezoelectric nature. When in Burst Mode operation, the LT8361’s switching frequency depends on the load current, and at very light loads the LT8361 can excite the ceramic capacitor at audio frequencies, generating audible noise. Since the LT8361 operates at a lower current limit during Burst Mode operation, the noise is typically very quiet to a casual ear. If this is unacceptable, use a high performance tantalum or electrolytic capacitor at the output. Low noise ceramic capacitors are also available. VIN Table 3.

Careless layout will result in performance degradation. Figure 5 shows the recommended component placement for a boost converter. Note the vias under the exposed pad. These should connect to a local ground plane for better thermal performance. The LT8361 can be configured as a SEPIC (single-ended primary inductance converter), as shown in Figure 6.

L1 and L2 can be independent, but can also be wound on the same core, since identical voltages are applied to L1 and L2 throughout the switching cycle. For the SEPIC topology, the current through L1 is the converter input current. Based on the fact that, ideally, the output power is equal to the input power, the maximum average inductor currents of L1 and L2 are: FBX GND 8361 F06 Figure 6. LT8361 Configured in a SEPIC Topology In a SEPIC converter, no DC path exists between the input and output. This is an advantage over the boost converter for applications requiring the output to be disconnected from the input source when the circuit is in shutdown. SEPIC Converter: Switch Duty Cycle and Frequency For a SEPIC converter operating in CCM, the duty cycle of the main switch can be calculated based on the output voltage (VOUT), the input voltage (VIN) and the diode forward voltage (VD). IL1(MAX)(AVG) = IIN(MAX)(AVG) = IO(MAX) • DMAX 1 − DMAX IL2(MAX)(AVG) = IO(MAX) In a SEPIC converter, the switch current is equal to IL1 + IL2 when the power switch is on, therefore, the maximum average switch current is defined as: ISW(MAX)(AVG) = IL1(MAX)(AVG) + IL2(MAX)(AVG) = IO(MAX) • 1 1 − DMAX Rev 0 For more information www.analog.com 17 LT8361 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Given an operating input voltage range, and having chosen ripple current in the inductor, the inductor value (L1 and L2 are independent) of the SEPIC converter can be determined using the following equation: and the peak switch current is: ⎛ χ ⎞ 1 ISW(PEAK) = ⎜1 + ⎟ • IO(MAX) • ⎝ 2 ⎠ 1 − DMAX The variable c in the preceding equations represents the percentage peak-to-peak ripple current in the switch, relative to ISW(MAX)(AVG), as shown in Figure 7. Then, the switch ripple current ∆ISW can be calculated by: ∆ISW = χ • ISW(MAX)(AVG) The inductor ripple currents ∆IL1 and ∆IL2 are identical: ∆IL1 = ∆IL2 = 0.5 • ∆ISW ΔISW = χ • ISW(MAX)(AVG) VIN(MIN) 0.5 • ΔISW • fOSC • DMAX For most SEPIC applications, the equal inductor values will fall in the range of 2.2µH to 100µH. By making L1 = L2, and winding them on the same core, the value of inductance in the preceding equation is replaced by 2L, due to mutual inductance: L= ISW VIN(MIN) ΔISW • fOSC • DMAX This maintains the same ripple current and energy storage in the inductors. The peak inductor currents are: ISW(MAX)(AVG) t DTS TS 8361 F07 Figure 7. The Switch Current Waveform of the SEPIC Converter The inductor ripple current has a direct effect on the choice of the inductor value. Choosing smaller values of ∆IL requires large inductances and reduces the current loop gain (the converter will approach voltage mode). Accepting larger values of ∆IL allows the use of low inductances, but results in higher input current ripple and greater core losses. It is recommended that c falls in the range of 0.5 to 0.8. Due to the current limit of its internal power switch, the LT8361 should be used in a SEPIC converter whose maximum output current (IO(MAX)) is: IO(MAX) < (1 – DMAX ) • (2A – 0.5 • ∆ISW ) • η where η (< 1.0) is the converter efficiency. Minimum possible inductor value and switching frequency should also be considered since they will increase inductor ripple current ∆ISW. 18 L1 = L2 = IL1(PEAK) = IL1(MAX) + 0.5 • ∆IL1 IL2(PEAK) = IL2(MAX) + 0.5 • ∆IL2 The maximum RMS inductor currents are approximately equal to the maximum average inductor currents. Based on the preceding equations, the user should choose the inductors having sufficient saturation and RMS current ratings. Similar to Boost converters, the SEPIC converter also needs slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillations while operating in CCM. The equation presented in the Boost Converter section defines the minimum inductance value to avoid sub-harmonic oscillations when coupled inductors are used. For uncoupled inductors, the minimum inductance requirement is doubled. SEPIC Converter: Output Diode Selection To maximize efficiency, a fast switching diode with a low forward drop and low reverse leakage is desirable. The average forward current in normal operation is equal to the output current.

SEPIC Converter: Output and Input Capacitor Selection The selections of the output and input capacitors of the SEPIC converter are similar to those of the boost converter. SEPIC Converter: Selecting the DC Coupling Capacitor The DC voltage rating of the DC coupling capacitor (CDC, as shown in Figure 6) should be larger than the maximum input voltage: VCDC > VIN(MAX) CDC has nearly a rectangular current waveform. During the switch off-time, the current through CDC is IIN, while approximately –IO flows during the on-time. The RMS rating of the coupling capacitor is determined by the following equation: IRMS(CDC) > IO(MAX) • CDC L1 For an inverting converter operating in CCM, the duty cycle of the main switch can be calculated based on the negative output voltage (VOUT) and the input voltage (VIN). The maximum duty cycle (DMAX) occurs when the converter has the minimum input voltage: DMAX = VOUT VOUT − VD − VD − VIN(MIN) Conversely, the minimum duty cycle (DMIN) occurs when the converter operates at the maximum input voltage : DMIN = VOUT VOUT − VD − VD − VIN(MAX) Be sure to check that DMAX and DMIN obey : DMAX < 1 – Minimum Off-Time(MAX) • fOSC(MAX) and DMIN > Minimum On-Time(MAX) • fOSC(MAX) where Minimum Off-Time, Minimum On-Time and fOSC are specified in the Electrical Characteristics table.

This is due to the fact that, in the inverting converter, the inductor L2 is in series with the output, and the ripple current flowing through the output capacitors are continuous.
