lt3506/lt3506a 1 3506afc dual monolithic 1.6a step-down switching regulator the lt ? 3506 is a dual current mode pwm step-down dc/dc converter with internal 2a power switches. both convert- ers are synchronized to a single oscillator and run with opposite phases, reducing input ripple current. the output voltages are set with external resistor dividers, and each regulator has independent shutdown and soft-start circuits. each regulator generates a power-good signal when its output is in regulation, easing power supply sequencing and interfacing with microcontrollers and dsps. the lt3506 switching frequency is 575khz and the lt3506a is 1.1mhz. these high switching frequencies allow the use of tiny inductors and capacitors, resulting in a very small dual 1.6a output solution. constant frequency and ceramic capacitors combine to produce low, predictable output ripple voltage. with its wide input range of 3.6v to 25v, the lt3506 regulates a wide variety of power sources, from 4-cell batteries and 5v logic rails to unregulated wall transformers, lead acid batteries and distributed-power supplies. current mode pwm architecture provides fast transient response with simple compensation components and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. frequency foldback and thermal shutdown provide additional protection. l , lt, ltc, ltm, linear technology and the linear logo are registered trademarks of linear technology corporation. all other trademarks are the property of their respective owners. n disk drives n dsp power supplies n wall transformer regulation n distributed power regulation n dsl modems n cable modems n wide input voltage range, 3.6v to 25v n two 1.6a output switching regulators with internal power switches n constant switching frequency lt3506: 575khz lt3506a: 1.1mhz n anti-phase switching reduces ripple n accurate 0.8v reference, 1% n independent shutdown/soft-start pins n independent power good indicators ease supply sequencing n uses small inductors and ceramic capacitors n small 16-lead thermally enhanced 5mm 4mm dfn and tssop surface mount packages ef? ciency typical application description features applications i out (a) 0 50 efficiency (%) 70 100 0.5 1.0 3506 ta01b 60 90 80 1.5 2.0 v in = 5v v out = 1.8v v out = 3.3v v in 4.5v to 25v pgood1 pgood2 3506 ta01a 1.5nf 22f 47f 22f 0.22f 0.22f 10.7k 18.7k 100k 100k 33.2k 6.4h 4.7h v out2 3.3v 1.6a v out1 1.8v 1.6a 15k d1 d2 15k 10k 1.5nf 1000pf 2200pf lt3506 v in2 v in1 gnd 1/2 bat-54a 1/2 bat-54a d1, d2: on semi mbr5230lt3 boost2 sw2 fb2 v c2 run/ss2 boost1 sw1 fb1 v c1 run/ss1 pgood1 pgood2

lt3506/lt3506a 7 3506afc the lt3506 is a dual, constant frequency, current mode buck regulator with internal 2a power switches. the two regulators share common circuitry including voltage reference and oscillator. in addition, the analog blocks on both regulators share the v in1 supply voltage, but are otherwise independent. this section describes the opera- tion of the lt3506. if the run/ss (run/soft-start) pins are both tied to ground, the lt3506 is shut down and draws 30a from v in1 . internal 2a current sources charge external soft-start capacitors, generating voltage ramps at these pins. if either run/ss pin exceeds 0.6v, the internal bias circuits turn on, including the internal regulator, 800mv reference and 575khz master oscillator. in this state, the lt3506 draws 3.8ma from v in1 , whether one or both run/ss pins are high. neither switching regulator will begin to operate until its run/ss pin reaches ~0.8v. the master oscillator generates two clock signals of opposite phase. the two switchers are current mode, step-down regulators. this means that instead of directly modulating the duty cycle of the power switch, the feedback loop controls the peak current in the switch during each cycle. this cur- rent mode control improves loop dynamics and provides cycle-by-cycle current limit. the block diagram in figure 2 shows only one of the two switching regulators. a pulse from the slave oscillator sets the rs ? ip-? op and turns on the internal npn bipolar power switch. current in the switch and the external induc- tor begins to increase. when this current exceeds a level determined by the voltage at v c , current comparator c1 resets the ? ip-? op, turning off the switch. the current in the inductor ? ows through the external schottky diode, and begins to decrease. the cycle begins again at the next pulse from the oscillator. in this way the voltage on the v c pin controls the current through the inductor to the output. the internal error ampli? er regulates the output voltage by continually adjusting the v c pin voltage. the threshold for switching on the v c pin is 0.75v, and an active clamp of 1.9v limits the output current. the v c pin is also clamped to the run/ss pin voltage. as the internal current source charges the external soft-start capacitor, the current limit increases slowly. each switcher contains an independent oscillator. this slave oscillator is normally synchronized to the master oscillator. however, during start-up, short-circuit or overload conditions, the fb pin voltage will be near zero and an internal comparator gates the master oscillator clock signal. this allows the slave oscillator to run the regulator at a lower frequency. this frequency foldback behavior helps to limit switch current and power dissipation under fault conditions. the switch driver operates from either the input or from the boost pin. an external capacitor and diode are used to generate a voltage at the boost pin that is higher than the input supply. this allows the driver to fully saturate the internal bipolar npn power switch for ef? cient opera- tion. a power good comparator trips when the fb pin is at 90% of its regulated value. the pg output is an open collector transistor that is off when the output is in regulation, al- lowing an external resistor to pull the pg pin high. power good is valid when the lt3506 is enabled (either run/ss pin is high) and v in is greater than ~3.4v. (refer to the block diagram) operation
lt3506/lt3506a 8 3506afc fb resistor network the output voltage is programmed with a resistor divider between the output and the fb pin. choose the 1% resis- tors according to: r1 = r2(v out /0.8 C 1) the parallel combination of r1 and r2 should be 10k or less to avoid bias current errors. reference designators refer to the block diagram in figure 2. input voltage range the minimum input voltage is determined by either the lt3506s minimum operating voltage of ~3.6v, or by its maximum duty cycle. the duty cycle is the fraction of time that the internal switch is on and is determined by the input and output voltages: dc = (v out + v d )/(v in C v sw + v d ) where v d is the forward voltage drop of the catch diode (~0.4v) and v sw is the voltage drop of the internal switch (~0.3v at maximum load). this leads to a minimum input voltage of: v in(min) = (v out + v d )/dc max C v d + v sw with dc max = 0.89 (0.78 for the lt3506a). a more detailed analysis includes inductor loss and the dependence of the diode and switch drop on operating current. a common application where the maximum duty cycle limits the input voltage range is the conversion of 5v to 3.3v. the maximum load current that the lt3506 can deliver at 3.3v depends on the accuracy of the 5v input supply. with a low loss inductor (dcr less than 80m ), the lt3506 can deliver 1.2a for v in > 4.7v and 1.6a for v in > 4.85v. the maximum input voltage is determined by the absolute maximum ratings of the v in and boost pins and by the minimum duty cycle dc min = 0.08 (0.15 for the lt3506a): v in(max) = (v out + v d )/dc min C v d + v sw . this limits the maximum input voltage to ~21v with v out = 1.2v and ~15v with v out = 0.8v. for the lt3506a the maximum input voltage is ~8v with v out = 0.8v. note that this is a restriction on the operating input voltage; the circuit will tolerate transient inputs up to the absolute maximum rating. inductor selection and maximum output current a good ? rst choice for the inductor value is: l = 2 ? (v out + v d ) for the lt3506 l = (v out + v d ) for the lt3506a where v d is the voltage drop of the catch diode (~0.4v) and l is in h. with this value the maximum load current will be ~1.6a, independent of input voltage. the inductors rms current rating must be greater than your maximum load current and its saturation current should be about 30% higher. to keep ef? ciency high, the series resistance (dcr) should be less than 0.1 . table 1 lists several vendors and types that are suitable. of course, such a simple design guide will not always result in the optimum inductor for your application. a larger value provides a slightly higher maximum load current, and will reduce the output volt- age ripple. if your load is lower than 1.6a, then you can decrease the value of the inductor and operate with higher ripple current. this allows you to use a physically smaller inductor, or one with a lower dcr resulting in higher ef- ? ciency. be aware that if the inductance differs from the simple rule above, then the maximum load current will depend on input voltage. there are several graphs in the typical performance characteristics section of this data sheet that show the maximum load current as a function of input voltage and inductor value for several popular output voltages. also, low inductance may result in dis- continuous mode operation, which may be acceptable, but further reduces maximum load current. for details of maximum output current and discontinuous mode opera- tion, see linear technology application note 44. finally, for duty cycles greater than 50%(v out /v in < 0.5), there is a minimum inductance required to avoid subharmonic oscillations. see application note 19 for detailed informa- tion on subharmonic oscillations. the following discussion assumes continuous inductor current. applications information
lt3506/lt3506a 9 3506afc the current in the inductor is a triangle wave with an average value equal to the load current. the peak switch current is equal to the output current plus half the peak-to- peak inductor ripple current. the lt3506 limits its switch current in order to protect itself and the system from overload faults. therefore, the maximum output current that the lt3506 will deliver depends on the current limit, the inductor value and the input and output voltages. l is chosen based on output current requirements, output voltage ripple requirements, size restrictions and ef? ciency goals. when the switch is off, the inductor sees the output voltage plus the catch diode drop. this gives the peak-to- peak ripple current in the inductor: i l = (1 C dc)(v out + v d )/(l ? f) where f is the switching frequency of the lt3506 and l is the value of the inductor. the peak inductor and switch current is i swpk = i lpk = i out + i l /2. to maintain output regulation, this peak current must be less than the lt3506s switch current limit i lim . i lim is at least 2a at low duty cycle and decreases linearly to 1.7a at dc = 0.8. the maximum output current is a function of the chosen inductor value: i out(max) = i lim C i l /2 = 2a ?

lt3506/lt3506a 10 3506afc tor must have low impedance at the switching frequency to do this effectively, and it must have an adequate ripple current rating. with two switchers operating at the same frequency but with different phases and duty cycles, cal- culating the input capacitor rms current is not simple. however, a conservative value is the rms input current for the channel that is delivering most power (v out ? i out ). this is given by: ii vvv v i inrms out out in out in out = ? () < ? 2 and is largest when v in = 2v out (50% duty cycle). as the second, lower power channel draws input current, the input capacitors rms current actually decreases as the out-of-phase current cancels the current drawn by the higher power channel. considering that the maximum load current from a single channel is ~1.6a, rms ripple current will always be less than 0.8a. the high frequency of the lt3506 reduces the energy storage requirements of the input capacitor, so that the capacitance required is less than 22f (less than 10f for the lt3506a). the combination of small size and low impedance (low equivalent series resistance or esr) of ceramic capacitors makes them the preferred choice. the low esr results in very low voltage ripple and the capacitors can handle plenty of ripple current. they are also comparatively robust and can be used in this application at their rated voltage. x5r and x7r types are stable over temperature and applied voltage, and give dependable service. other types (y5v and z5u) have very large tem- perature and voltage coef? cients of capacitance, so they may have only a small fraction of their nominal capacitance in your application. while they will still handle the rms ripple current, the input voltage ripple may become fairly large, and the ripple current may end up ? owing from your input supply or from other bypass capacitors in your system, as opposed to being fully sourced from the local input capacitor. an alternative to a high value ceramic capacitor is a lower value along with a larger electrolytic capacitor, for example a 1f ceramic capacitor in parallel with a low esr tantalum capacitor. for the electrolytic capacitor, a value larger than 22f (10f for the lt3506a) will be required to meet the esr and ripple current requirements. because the input capacitor is likely to see high surge currents when the input source is applied, tantalum capacitors should be surge rated. the manufacturer may also recommend operation below the rated voltage of the capacitor. be sure to place the 1f ceramic as close as possible to the v in and gnd pins on the ic for optimal noise immunity. a ? nal caution is in order regarding the use of ceramic capacitors at the input. a ceramic input capacitor can combine with stray inductance to form a resonant tank circuit. if power is applied quickly (for example by plug- ging the circuit into a live power source) this tank can ring, doubling the input voltage and damaging the lt3506. the solution is to either clamp the input voltage or dampen the tank circuit by adding a lossy capacitor in parallel with the ceramic capacitor. for details, see application note 88. output capacitor selection the output capacitor ? lters the inductor current to gen- erate an output with low voltage ripple. it also stores energy in order satisfy transient loads and to stabilize the lt3506s control loop. because the lt3506 operates at a high frequency, you dont need much output capacitance. also, the current mode control loop doesnt require the presence of output capacitor series resistance (esr). for these reasons, you are free to use ceramic capacitors to achieve very low output ripple and small circuit size. estimate output ripple with the following equations: v ripple = i l /(8 ? f ? c out ) for ceramic capacitors v ripple = i l ? esr for electrolytic capacitors (tantalum and aluminum) where i l is the peak-to-peak ripple current in the induc- tor. the rms content of this ripple is very low, and the rms current rating of the output capacitor is usually not of concern. another constraint on the output capacitor is that it must have greater energy storage than the inductor; if the stored energy in the inductor is transferred to the output, you would like the resulting voltage step to be small compared applications information
lt3506/lt3506a 11 3506afc to the regulation voltage. for a 5% overshoot, this require- ment becomes c out > 10l(i lim /v out ) 2 . finally, there must be enough capacitance for good transient performance. the last equation gives a good starting point. alternatively, you can start with one of the designs in this data sheet and experiment to get the desired performance. this topic is covered more thoroughly in the section on loop compensation. for 5v and 3.3v outputs with greater than 1a output, a 22f 6.3v ceramic capacitor (x5r or x7r) at the output results in very low output voltage ripple and good tran- sient response. for lower voltages, 22f is adequate but increasing c out will improve transient performance. for the lt3506a, 10f of output capacitance is suf? cient at v out between 3.3v and 5v. other types and values can be used. the following discusses tradeoffs in output ripple and transient performance. the high performance (low esr), small size and robust- ness of ceramic capacitors make them the preferred type for lt3506 applications. however, all ceramic capacitors are not the same. as mentioned above, many of the higher value capacitors use poor dielectrics with high temperature and voltage coef? cients. in particular, y5v and z5u types lose a large fraction of their capacitance with applied voltage and temperature extremes. because the loop stability and transient response depend on the value of c out , you may not be able to tolerate this loss. use x7r and x5r types. you can also use electrolytic capacitors. the esrs of most aluminum electrolytics are too large to deliver low output ripple. tantalum and newer, lower esr organic electrolytic capacitors intended for power supply use are suitable, and the manufacturers will specify the esr. the choice of capacitor value will be based on the esr required for low ripple. because the volume of the capacitor determines its esr, both the size and the value will be larger than a ceramic capacitor that would give similar ripple perfor- mance. one bene? t is that the larger capacitance may give better transient response for large changes in load current. table 2 lists several capacitor vendors. table 2. low-esr surface mount capacitors vendor type series taiyo-yuden ceramic avx ceramic tantalum tps kemet tantalum tantalum organic aluminum organic t491, t494, t495, t520 a700 sanyo tantalum or aluminum organic poscap panasonic aluminum organic sp cap tdk ceramic catch diode the catch diode (d1 in figure 2) must have a reverse volt- age rating greater than the maximum input voltage. the average current of the catch diode is given by: i dave = i out (1 C dc min ) a schottky diode with a 1a average forward current rating will suf? ce for most applications. the on semiconductor mbrm120lt3 (20v) and mbrm130lt3 (30v) are good choices; they have a tiny package with good thermal proper- ties. many vendors have suitable surface mount versions of the 1n5817 (20v) and 1n5818 (30v) 1a schottky diodes such as the microsemi ups120. applications with large step down ratios and high output currents may have more than 1a of average diode current. the on semiconductor mbrs230lt3 or international rec- ti? er 20bq030 (both 2a, 30v) would be good choices. applications information
lt3506/lt3506a 12 3506afc boost pin considerations the capacitor and diode tied to the boost pin generate a voltage that is higher than the input voltage. in most cases a 0.1f capacitor and fast switching diode (such as the cmdsh-3 or fmmd914) will work well. figure 3 shows three ways to arrange the boost circuit. the boost pin must be more than 2.5v above the sw pin for full ef? ciency. for outputs of 3.3v and higher the standard circuit (figure 3a) is best. for outputs between 2.8v and 3.3v, use a small schottky diode (such as the bat-54). for lower output voltages the boost diode can be tied to the input (figure 3b). the circuit in figure 3a is more ef- ? cient because the boost pin current comes from a lower voltage source. finally, as shown in figure 3c, the anode of the boost diode can be tied to another source that is at least 3v. for example, if you are generating 3.3v and 1.8v and the 3.3v is on whenever the 1.8v is on, the 1.8v boost diode can be connected to the 3.3v output. in any case, you must also be sure that the maximum voltage at the boost pin is less than the maximum speci? ed in the absolute maximum ratings section. the boost circuit can also run directly from a dc voltage that is higher than the input voltage by more than 3v, as in figure 3d. the diode is used to prevent damage to the lt3506 in case v inb is held low while v in is present. the circuit saves several components (both boost pins can be tied to d2). however, ef? ciency may be lower and dissipation in the lt3506 may be higher. also, if v inb is absent, the lt3506 will still attempt to regulate the output, but will do so with very low ef? ciency and high dissipation because the switch will not be able to saturate, dropping 1.5v to 2v in conduction. v in boost gnd sw v in lt3506 (3a) d2 v out c3 v boost C v sw v out max v boost v in + v out v in boost gnd sw v in lt3506 (3b) d2 v out c3 v boost C v sw v in max v boost 2v in v in boost gnd sw v in lt3506 (3d) 3506 f03 v out max v boost C v sw v inb max v boost v inb minimum value for v inb = v in + 3v v inb >v in + 3v d2 v in boost gnd sw v in lt3506 (3c) v out v boost C v sw v inb max v boost v inb + v in minimum value for v inb = 3v d2 v inb > 3v c3 figure 3. generating the boost voltage applications information

lt3506/lt3506a 14 3506afc frequency compensation the lt3506 uses current mode control to regulate the output. this simpli? es loop compensation. in particular, the lt3506 does not require the esr of the output capacitor for stability so you are free to use ceramic capacitors to achieve low output ripple and small circuit size. frequency compensation is provided by the components tied to the v c pin. generally a capacitor and a resistor in series to ground determine loop gain. in addition, there is a lower value capacitor in parallel. this capacitor is not part of the loop compensation but is used to ? lter noise at the switching frequency. loop compensation determines the stability and transient performance. designing the compensation network is a bit complicated and the best values depend on the application and in particular the type of output capacitor. a practical approach is to start with one of the circuits in this data sheet that is similar to your application and tune the compensa- tion network to optimize the performance. stability should then be checked across all operating conditions, including load current, input voltage and temperature. the lt1375 data sheet contains a more thorough discussion of loop compensation and describes how to test the stability using a transient load. figure 4 shows an equivalent circuit for the lt3506 control loop. the error amp is a transconductance ampli? er with ? nite output impedance. the power section, consisting of the modulator, power switch and inductor, is modeled as a transconductance ampli? er generating an output current proportional to the voltage at the v c pin. note that the output capacitor integrates this current, and that the capacitor on the v c pin (c c ) integrates the error ampli? er output current, resulting in two poles in the loop. in most cases a zero is required and comes from either the output capacitor esr or from a resistor in series with c c . this simple model works well as long as the value of the inductor is not too high and the loop crossover frequency is much lower than the switching frequency. a phase lead capacitor (c pl ) across the feedback divider may improve the transient response. soft-start and shutdown the run/ss (run/soft-start) pins are used to place the individual switching regulators and the internal bias circuits in shutdown mode. they also provide a soft-start function. to shut down either regulator, pull the run/ss pin to ground with an open-drain or collector. if both run/ss pins are pulled to ground, the lt3506 enters its shutdown mode with both regulators off and quiescent current reduced to ~30a. internal 2a current sources pull up on each pin. if either pin reaches ~0.6v, the internal bias circuits start and the quiescent current increases to ~3.5ma. if a capacitor is tied from the run/ss pin to ground, then the internal pull-up current will generate a voltage ramp on this pin. this voltage clamps the v c pin, limiting the peak switch current and therefore input current during start-up. a good value for the soft-start capacitor is c out /10,000, where c out is the value of the output capacitor. the run/ss pins can be left ? oating if the shutdown feature is not used. they can also be tied together with a single capacitor providing soft-start. the internal current sources will charge these pins to ~2.5v. the run/ss pins provide a soft-start function that limits peak input current to the circuit during start-up. this helps to avoid drawing more current than the input source can figure 4. circuit model for frequency compensation C + v fb 800mv v sw v c lt3506 gnd 3506 f04 r1 output esr c f c c r c 1m error amplifier fb r2 c1 c1 current mode power stage g mp 2.4a/v 330umhos + polymer or tantalum ceramic c pl applications information
lt3506/lt3506a 15 3506afc supply or glitching the input supply when the lt3506 is enabled. the run/ss pins do not provide an accurate delay to start or an accurately controlled ramp at the output voltage, both of which depend on the output ca- pacitance and the load current. however, the power good indicators can be used to sequence the two outputs, as described below. power good indicators the pg pin is the open collector output of an internal comparator. pg remains low until the fb pin is within 10% of the ? nal regulation voltage. tie the pg pin to any supply with a pull-up resistor that will supply less than 250a. note that this pin will be open when the lt3506 is placed in shutdown mode (both run/ss pins at ground) regardless of the voltage at the fb pin. power good is valid when the lt3506 is enabled (either run/ss pin is high) and v in is greater than ~2.4v. output sequencing the pg and run/ss pins can be used to sequence the two outputs. figure 5 shows several circuits to do this. in each case channel 1 starts ? rst. note that these circuits sequence the outputs during start-up. when shut down the two channels turn off simultaneously. in figure 5a, a larger capacitor on run/ss2 delays channel 2 with respect to channel 1. the soft-start capacitor on run/ss2 should be at least twice the value of the capacitor on run/ss1. a larger ratio may be required, depending on the output capacitance and load on each channel. make sure to test the circuit in the system before deciding on ? nal values for these capacitors. the circuit in figure 5b requires the fewest components, with both channels sharing a single soft-start capacitor. the power good comparator of chan- nel 1 disables channel 2 until output 1 is in regulation. for independent control of channel 2, use the circuit in figure 5c. the capacitor on run/ss1 is smaller than the figure 5. sequencing the outputs off 3506 f05 run/ss1 pg1 on gnd off run/ss1 lt3506 lt3506 on gnd run/ss2 off run/ss1 on off2 on2 gnd run/ss2 run/ss2 v c2 pg1 1nf 1nf 1nf 2.2nf 1nf 1.5nf 1.5nf (5b) fewest components (5c) independent control of channel 2 off run/ss1 on gnd run/ss2 pg1 (5d) doesn't work !

lt3506/lt3506a 16 3506afc capacitor on run/ss2. this allows the lt3506 to start up and enable its power good comparator before run/ss2 gets high enough to allow channel 2 to start switching. channel 2 only operates when it is enabled with the external control signals and output 1 is in regulation. the circuit in figure 5a leaves both power good indicates free. however, the circuits in figures 5b and 5c have another advantage. as well as sequencing the two outputs at start-up, they also disable channel 2 if output 1 falls out of regulation (due to a short-circuit or a collapsing input voltage). finally, be aware that the circuit in figure 5d does not work , because the power good comparators are disabled in shutdown. when the system is placed in shutdown mode by pulling down on run/ss1, then output 1 will go low, pg1 will pull down on run/ss2, and the lt3506 will enter its low current shutdown state. this disables pg1, and run/ss2 ramps up again to enable the lt3506. the circuit will oscillate and pull extra current from the input. multiple input supplies the internal supplies of the lt3506 operate from v in1 . it is possible to supply v in2 from a different source, provided v in1 is above the minimum supply level whenever v in2 is present. this could be used when a system has two pri- mary supplies available. it is more ef? cient to generate the desired outputs with the lowest step-down ratio possible. for example, if a system has 18v and 5v power available and needs to generate 12v and 2.5v, it would be more ef? cient to generate the 2.5v output from the 5v supply and the 12v output from the 18v supply. the lt3506 can step down 18v to 2.5v, but the ef? ciency would be lower than stepping down from 5v to 2.5v. this feature can also be used when the maximum step- down ratio is exceeded. in this case, v in2 can be tied to v out1 for applications requiring high v in to v out ratios. a dual step-down application steps down the input voltage (v in1 ) to the highest output voltage then uses that voltage to power the second channel (v in2 ). v out1 must be able to provide enough current for its output plus the average current drawn from v out2 . note that the v out1 must be above minimum input voltage for v in2 when the second channel starts to switch. delaying the second channel can be accomplished by either using independent soft-start capacitors or sequencing with the pg1 output. the two stage step-down circuit in the applications section shows an example of the latter approach. figure 6. shorted input protection v in v in v out sw lt 3 5 0 6 d4 parasitic diode 3506 f06 v in sw gnd (7a) v in v sw c1 d1 c2 3506 f07 l1 sw gnd ( 7c ) v in sw gnd (7b) i c1 figure 7. subtracting the current when the switch is on (a) from the current when the switch in off (b) reveals the path of the high frequency switching current (c) keep this loop small. the voltage on the sw and boost nodes will also be switched; keep these nodes as small as possible. finally, make sure the circuit is shielded with a local ground plane. applications information
lt3506/lt3506a 17 3506afc shorted input protection if the inductor is chosen so that it wont saturate exces- sively, the lt3506 will tolerate a shorted output. there is another situation to consider in systems where the output will be held high when the input to the lt3506 is absent. if the v in and one of the run/ss pins are allowed to ? oat, then the lt3506s internal circuitry will pull its quiescent current through its sw pin. this is ? ne if your system can tolerate a few ma of load in this state. with both run/ss pins grounded, the lt3506 enters shutdown mode and the sw pin current drops to ~30a. however, if the v in pin is grounded while the output is held high, then parasitic diodes inside the lt3506 can pull large currents from the output through the sw pin and the v in pin. a schottky diode in series with the input to the lt3506 will protect the lt3506 and the system from a shorted or reversed input, as shown in figure 6. pcb layout for proper operation and minimum emi, care must be taken during printed circuit board (pcb) layout. figure 7 shows the high-di/dt paths in the buck regulator circuit. note that large, switched currents ? ow in the power switch, the catch diode and the input capacitor. the loop formed by these components should be as small as possible. these components, along with the inductor and output capacitor, should be placed on the same side of the circuit board, and their connections should be made on that layer. place a local, unbroken ground plane below these components, and tie this ground plane to system ground at one location, ideally at the ground terminal of the output capacitor c2. additionally, the sw and boost nodes should be kept as small as possible. figure 8 shows recommended compo- nent placement with trace and via locations. thermal considerations the pcb must also provide heat sinking to keep the lt3506 cool. the exposed metal on the bottom of the package must be soldered to a ground plane. this ground should be tied to other copper layers below with thermal vias; these layers will spread the heat dissipated by the lt3506. place additional vias near the catch diodes. adding more copper to the top and bottom layers and tying this cop- per to the internal planes with vias can reduce thermal resistance further. with these steps, the thermal resis- tance from die (or junction) to ambient can be reduced to ja = 43c/w. the power dissipation in the other power components catch diodes, boost diodes and inductors, cause additional copper heating and can further increase what the ic sees as ambient temperature. see the lt1767 data sheets thermal considerations section. via to local ground plane via to v in pin 1 top mark 3506 f08 gnd v out1 v out2 figure 8. a good pcb layout ensures proper low emi operation applications information
lt3506/lt3506a 18 3506afc single, low-ripple 3.2a output the lt3506 can generate a single, low-ripple 3.2a output if the outputs of the two switching regulators are tied together and share a single output capacitor. by tying the two fb pins together and the two v c pins together, the two channels will share the load current. there are several advantages to this two-phase buck regulator. ripple cur- rents at the input and output are reduced, reducing volt- age ripple and allowing the use of smaller, less expensive capacitors. although two inductors are required, each will be smaller than the inductor required for a single-phase regulator. this may be important when there are tight height restrictions on the circuit. the typical applications section shows circuits with maximum heights of 1.4mm, 1.8mm and 2.1mm. there is one special consideration regarding the two phase circuit. when the difference between the input voltage and output voltage is less than 2.5v, then the boost circuits may prevent the two channels from properly sharing current. if, for example, channel 1 gets started ? rst, it can supply the load current, while channel 2 never switches enough current to get its boost capacitor charged. in this case, channel 1 will supply the load until it reaches current limit, the output voltage drops, and channel 2 gets started. the solution is to generate a boost supply generated from either sw pin that will service both boost pins. the low pro? le, single output 5v to 3.3v converter shown in the typical applications section shows how to do this. other linear technology publications application notes 19, 35 and 44 contain more detailed descriptions and design information for buck regulators and other switching regulators. the lt1376 data sheet has a more extensive discussion of output ripple, loop compensation and stability testing. design note 100 shows how to generate a dual (+ and C) output supply using a buck regulator. applications information
