For a boost or inverting converter, tie a resistor from the FB pin to VOUT according to the following equations: RFB = RFB = ( VOUT - 1.215) ; Boost or SEPIC Converter ( 83.3 * 10 -6 VOUT + 5mV 83.3 * 10 -6 ) ; Inverting Converter VC (Pin 2): Error Amplifier Output Pin. Tie external compensation network to this pin. VIN (Pin 3): Input Supply Pin. Must be locally bypassed. SW (Pin 4): Switch Pin. This is the collector of the internal NPN Power switch. Minimize the metal trace area connected to this pin to minimize EMI. RT (Pin 6): Timing Resistor Pin. Adjusts the switching frequency. Place a resistor from this pin to ground to set the frequency to a fixed free running level. Do not float this pin. SS (Pin 7): Soft-Start Pin. Place a soft-start capacitor here. Upon start-up, the SS pin will be charged by a (nominally) 275k resistor to about 2.2V. SYNC (Pin 8): To synchronize the switching frequency to an outside clock, simply drive this pin with a clock. The high voltage level of the clock needs to exceed 1.3V, and the low level should be less 0.4V. Drive this pin to less than 0.4V to revert to the internal free running clock. See the Applications Information section for more information. GND (Exposed Pad Pin 9): Ground. Exposed pad must be soldered directly to local ground plane. SHDN (Pin 5): Shutdown Pin. In conjunction with the UVLO (undervoltage lockout) circuit, this pin is used to enable/disable the chip and restart the soft-start sequence. Drive below 1.24V (LT3580E, LT3580I) or 1.22V (LT3580H, LT3580MP) to disable the chip. Drive above 1.38V (LT3580E, LT3580I) or 1.40V (LT3580H, LT3580MP) to activate chip and restart the soft-start sequence.

Refer to the Block Diagram which shows the LT3580 in a boost configuration. At the start of each oscillator cycle, the SR latch (SR1) is set, which turns on the power switch, Q1. The switch current flows through the internal current sense resistor generating a voltage proportional to the switch current. This voltage (amplified by A4) is added to a stabilizing ramp and the resulting sum is fed into the positive terminal of the PWM comparator A3. When this voltage exceeds the level at the negative input of A3, the SR latch is reset, turning off the power switch. The level at the negative input of A3 (VC pin) is set by the error amplifier A1 (or A2) and is simply an amplified version of the difference between the feedback voltage (FB pin) and the reference voltage (1.215V or 5mV depending on the configuration). In this manner, the error amplifier sets the correct peak current level to keep the output in regulation. The LT3580 has a novel FB pin architecture that can be used for either boost or inverting configurations. When configured as a boost converter, the FB pin is pulled up to the internal bias voltage of 1.215V by the RFB resistor connected from VOUT to FB. Comparator A2 becomes inactive and comparator A1 performs the inverting amplification from FB to VC. When the LT3580 is in an inverting configuration, the FB pin is pulled down to 5mV by the RFB resistor connected from VOUT to FB. Comparator A1 becomes inactive and comparator A2 performs the noninverting amplification from FB to VC. 3580fg 6 LT3580 OPERATION SEPIC Topology The LT3580 can be configured as a SEPIC (single-ended primary inductance converter). This topology allows for the input to be higher, equal, or lower then the desired output voltage. Output disconnect is inherently built into the SEPIC topology, meaning no DC path exists between the input and output. This is useful for applications requiring the output to be disconnected from the input source when the circuit is in shutdown. Inverting Topology The LT3580 can also work in a dual inductor inverting topology. The part's unique feedback pin allows for the inverting topology to be built by simply changing the connection of external components. This solution results in very low output voltage ripple due to inductor L2 in series with the output. Abrupt changes in output capacitor current are eliminated because the output inductor delivers current to the output during both the off-time and the on-time of the LT3580 switch. Start-Up Operation Several functions are provided to enable a very clean start-up for the LT3580. * First, the SHDN pin voltage is monitored by an internal voltage reference to give a precise turn-on voltage level. An external resistor (or resistor divider) can be connected from the input power supply to the SHDN pin to provide a user-programmable undervoltage lockout function.

Follow Noted Phasing if Coupled VOUT R1 GND VC SYNC CC L2 D1 FB C3 RC CSS * LT3580 + GND C2 * VIN + VC SYNC The LT3580 has a current limit circuit not shown in the Block Diagram. The switch current is consistently monitored and not allowed to exceed the maximum switch current at a given duty cycle (see the Electrical Characteristics table). If the switch current reaches this value, the SR latch (SR1) is reset regardless of the state of the comparator (A1/A2). Also not shown in the Block Diagram is the thermal shutdown circuit. If the temperature of the part exceeds approximately 165C, the SR2 latch is set regardless of the state of the comparator (A1/A2). A full soft-start cycle will then be initiated. The current limit and thermal shutdown circuits protect the power switch as well as the external components connected to the LT3580. C1 SHDN SHUTDOWN Current Limit and Thermal Shutdown Operation L2 LT3580 C1 * Finally, the frequency foldback circuit reduces the switching frequency when the FB pin is in a nominal range of 350mV to 900mV. This feature reduces the minimum duty cycle that the part can achieve thus allowing better control of the switch current during start-up. When the FB voltage is pulled outside of this range, the switching frequency returns to normal. D1 * + * Second, the soft-start circuitry provides for a gradual ramp-up of the switch current. When the part is brought out of shutdown, the external SS capacitor is first discharged (providing protection against SHDN pin glitches and slow ramping), then an integrated 275k resistor pulls the SS pin up to ~2.2V. By connecting an external capacitor to the SS pin, the voltage ramp rate on the pin can be set. Typical values for the soft-start capacitor range from 100nF to 1F.

Follow Noted Phasing if Coupled 3580fg 7 LT3580 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Setting Output Voltage Inductor Selection The output voltage is set by connecting a resistor (RFB) from VOUT to the FB pin. RFB is determined from the following equation: |V - V | RFB = OUT FB 83.3A General Guidelines: The high frequency operation of the LT3580 allows for the use of small surface mount inductors. For high efficiency, choose inductors with high frequency core material, such as ferrite, to reduce core losses. To improve efficiency, choose inductors with more volume for a given inductance. The inductor should have low DCR (copper wire resistance) to reduce I2R losses, and must be able to handle the peak inductor current without saturating. 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 a fraction of the total switch current. Molded chokes or chip inductors usually do not have enough core area to support peak inductor currents in the 2A to 3A range. To minimize radiated noise, use a toroidal or shielded inductor. Note that the inductance of shielded types will drop more as current increases, and will saturate more easily. See Table 1 for a list of inductor manufacturers. Thorough lab evaluation is recommended to verify that the following guidelines properly suit the final application. where VFB is 1.215V (typical) for non-inverting topologies (i.e., boost and SEPIC regulators) and 5mV (typical) for inverting topologies (see the Electrical Characteristics). Power Switch Duty Cycle In order to maintain loop stability and deliver adequate current to the load, the power NPN (Q1 in the Block Diagram) cannot remain "on" for 100% of each clock cycle. The maximum allowable duty cycle is given by: DCMAX = (TP - Min Off Time) * 100% TP where TP is the clock period and Min Off Time (found in the Electrical Characteristics) is typically 60ns. The application should be designed so that the operating duty cycle does not exceed DCMAX. Duty cycle equations for several common topologies are given below, where VD is the diode forward voltage drop and VCESAT is typically 300mV at 1.5A. For the boost topology: V -V +V DC OUT IN D VOUT + VD - VCESAT For the SEPIC or dual inductor inverting topology (see Figures 1 and 2): VD +| VOUT | DC VIN + | VOUT | + VD - VCESAT The LT3580 can be used in configurations where the duty cycle is higher than DCMAX, but it must be operated in the discontinuous conduction mode so that the effective duty cycle is reduced.

When choosing an inductor, there are two conditions that limit the minimum inductance; (1) providing adequate load current, and (2) avoidance of subharmonic oscillation. Choose an inductance that is high enough to meet both of these requirements. Adequate Load Current : Small value inductors result in increased ripple currents and thus, due to the limited peak switch current, decrease the average current that can be 3580fg 8 LT3580 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION provided to a load (IOUT). In order to provide adequate load current, L should be at least: L> DC * VIN |V |* I 2(f) ILIM - OUT OUT VIN * for boost, topologies, or: L> 2(f) ILIM - DC * VIN VOUT * IOUT VIN * - IOUT for the SEPIC and inverting topologies. where: L = L1||L2 for uncoupled dual inductor topologies DC = switch duty cycle (see previous section) ILIM = switch current limit, typically about 2.4A at 50% duty cycle (see the Typical Performance Characteristics section). = power conversion efficiency (typically 88% for boost and 75% for dual inductor topologies at high currents). f = switching frequency Negative values of L indicate that the output load current IOUT exceeds the switch current limit capability of the LT3580. for the uncoupled inductor SEPIC and uncoupled inductor inverting topologies. Maximum Inductance: Excessive inductance can reduce current ripple to levels that are difficult for the current comparator (A3 in the Block Diagram) to cleanly discriminate, thus causing duty cycle jitter and/or poor regulation. The maximum inductance can be calculated by: LMAX = VIN - VCESAT DC * IMIN-RIPPLE f where LMAX is L1||L2 for uncoupled dual inductor topologies and IMIN-RIPPLE is typically 95mA. Current Rating: Finally, the inductor(s) must have a rating greater than its peak operating current to prevent inductor saturation resulting in efficiency loss. In steady state, the peak input inductor current (continuous conduction mode only) is given by: IL1-PEAK = VOUT *IOUT VIN * + VIN * DC 2 * L1* f for the boost, uncoupled inductor SEPIC and uncoupled inductor inverting topologies. For uncoupled dual inductor topologies, the peak output inductor current is given by: IL2-PEAK =IOUT + VOUT * (1- DC) 2 * L2 * f Avoiding Subharmonic Oscillations: The LT3580's internal slope compensation circuit will prevent subharmonic oscillations that can occur when the duty cycle is greater than 50%, provided that the inductance exceeds a minimum value. In applications that operate with duty cycles greater than 50%, the inductance must be at least: V * (2 * DC - 1) L > IN (1-DC) * (f) For the coupled inductor topologies: for boost, coupled inductor SEPIC, and coupled inductor inverting topologies, or: 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 have an extremely low ESR and are available in very small packages. X5R or X7R dielectrics are preferred, as L1 L2 > VIN * (2 * DC - 1) (1-DC) * (f) V * DC V IOUT 1+ OUT + IN * VIN 2 * L * f Note: Inductor current can be higher during load transients. It can also be higher during start-up if inadequate soft-start capacitance is used. Capacitor Selection 3580fg 9 LT3580 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION these materials retain their capacitance over wider voltage and temperature ranges. A 4.7F to 20F output capacitor is sufficient for most applications, but systems with very low output currents may need only a 1F or 2.2F output capacitor. Always use a capacitor with a sufficient voltage rating. Many capacitors rated at 2.2F to 20F, particularly 0805 or 0603 case sizes, have greatly reduced capacitance at the desired output voltage. Solid tantalum or OS-CON capacitors can be used, but they will occupy more board area than a ceramic and will have a higher ESR with greater output ripple. Ceramic capacitors also make a good choice for the input decoupling capacitor, which should be placed as closely as possible to the LT3580. A 2.2F to 4.7F input capacitor is sufficient for most applications. Table 2 shows a list of several ceramic capacitor manufacturers. Consult the manufacturers for detailed information on their entire selection of ceramic parts. Table 2. Ceramic Capacitor Manufacturers Kemet www.kemet.com Murata www.murata.com Taiyo Yuden www.t-yuden.com Compensation--Adjustment To compensate the feedback loop of the LT3580, a series resistor-capacitor network in parallel with a single capacitor should be connected from the VC pin to GND. For most applications, the series capacitor should be in the range of 470pF to 2.2nF with 1nF being a good starting value. The parallel capacitor should range in value from 10pF to 100pF with 47pF a good starting value. The compensation resistor, RC , is usually in the range of 5k to 50k. A good technique to compensate a new application is to use a 100k potentiometer in place of series resistor RC. With the series capacitor and parallel capacitor at 1nF and 47pF respectively, adjust the potentiometer while observing the transient response and the optimum value for RC can be found. Figures 3a to 3c illustrate this process for the circuit of Figure 14 with a load current stepped between 400mA and 500mA. Figure 3a shows the transient response with RC equal to 1k. The phase margin is poor, as evidenced by the excessive ringing in the output voltage and inductor current. In Figure 3b, the value of RC is increased to 3k, which results in a more damped response. Figure 3c shows the results when RC is increased further to 10k. The transient response is nicely damped and the compensation procedure is complete.

Two feedback loops are used in the LT3580-- a fast current loop which does not require compensation, and a slower voltage loop which does. Standard bode plot analysis can be used to understand and adjust the voltage feedback loop. As with any feedback loop, identifying the gain and phase contribution of the various elements in the loop is critical. Figure 4 shows the key equivalent elements of a boost converter. Because of the fast current control loop, the power stage of the IC, inductor and diode have been replaced by a combination of the equivalent transconductance amplifier gmp and the current controlled current source (which converts IVIN to VIN/VOUT * IVIN). gmp acts as a current source where the peak input current, IVIN, is proportional to the VC voltage. is the efficiency of the switching regulator, and is typically about 88%. Note that the maximum output currents of gmp and gma are finite. The limits for gmp are in the Electrical Characteristics section (switch current limit), and gma is nominally limited to about 12A. - + H * VIN *IVIN VOUT RESR COUT Output Pole: P1= 2 2 * * RL * COUT Error Amp Pole: P2 = 1 2 * * RO + RC * CC Error Amp Zero: Z1= 1 2 * * RC * CC DC Gain: (Breaking Loop at FB Pin) ADC = A OL (0) = VC IVIN VOUT VFB * * * = VFB VC IVIN VOUT (gma * R0 ) * gmp * * VVIN ESR Zero: Z2 = RHP Zero: Z3 = RL VC CF RC CC RO R1 + gma R2 - RL 0.5R2 * 2 R1+ 0.5R2 1 2 * * RESR * COUT VIN 2 * RL 2 * * VOUT 2 * L Phase Lead Zero: Z4 = CPL 1.215V REFERENCE * OUT High Frequency Pole: P3 > VOUT IVIN gmp From Figure 4, the DC gain, poles and zeros can be calculated as follows: Phase Lead Pole: P4 = fS 3 1 2 * * R1* CPL 1 R2 2 *C 2** R2 PL R1+ 2 R1* FB 3580 F04 R2 CC: COMPENSATION CAPACITOR COUT: OUTPUT CAPACITOR CPL: PHASE LEAD CAPACITOR CF: HIGH FREQUENCY FILTER CAPACITOR gma: TRANSCONDUCTANCE AMPLIFIER INSIDE IC gmp: POWER STAGE TRANSCONDUCTANCE AMPLIFIER RC: COMPENSATION RESISTOR RL: OUTPUT RESISTANCE DEFINED AS VOUT DIVIDED BY ILOAD(MAX) RO: OUTPUT RESISTANCE OF gma R1, R2: FEEDBACK RESISTOR DIVIDER NETWORK RESR: OUTPUT CAPACITOR ESR Figure 4.

The Microsemi UPS120 is a very good choice. Where the input-to-output voltage differential exceeds 20V, use the UPS140 (a 40V diode). These diodes are rated to handle an average forward current of 1A. Oscillator The operating frequency of the LT3580 can be set by the internal free-running oscillator. When the SYNC pin is driven low (< 0.4V), the frequency of operation is set by a resistor from RT to ground. An internally trimmed timing capacitor resides inside the IC. The oscillator frequency is calculated using the following formula: fOSC = 91.9 (R T + 1) where fOSC is in MHz and RT is in k. Conversely, RT (in k) can be calculated from the desired frequency (in MHz) using: RT = 91.9 -1 fOSC Clock Synchronization The operating frequency of the LT3580 can be synchronized to an external clock source. To synchronize to the external source, simply provide a digital clock signal into the SYNC pin. The LT3580 will operate at the SYNC clock frequency. The LT3580 will revert to the internal free-running oscillator clock after SYNC is driven low for a few free-running clock periods. Driving SYNC high for an extended period of time effectively stops the operating clock and prevents latch SR1 from becoming set (see the Block Diagram). As a result, the switching operation of the LT3580 will stop. -200 -20 10 100 1k 10k FREQUENCY (Hz) 100k 1M 3580 F05 Figure 5. Bode Plot for Example Boost Converter The duty cycle of the SYNC signal must be between 35% and 65% for proper operation. Also, the frequency of the SYNC signal must meet the following two criteria: 3580fg 12 LT3580 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION (2) The SYNC frequency can always be higher than the free-running oscillator frequency, fOSC , but should not be less than 25% below fOSC . Operating Frequency Selection There are several considerations in selecting the operating frequency of the converter. The first is staying clear of sensitive frequency bands, which cannot tolerate any spectral noise. For example, in products incorporating RF communications, the 455kHz IF frequency is sensitive to any noise, therefore switching above 600kHz is desired. Some communications have sensitivity to 1.1MHz, and in that case, a 1.5MHz switching converter frequency may be employed. The second consideration is the physical size of the converter. As the operating frequency goes up, the inductor and filter capacitors go down in value and size. The tradeoff is efficiency, since the switching losses due to NPN base charge (see Thermal Calculations), Schottky diode charge, and other capacitive loss terms increase proportionally with frequency. Soft-Start The LT3580 contains a soft-start circuit to limit peak switch currents during start-up. High start-up current is inherent in switching regulators in general since the feedback loop is saturated due to VOUT being far from its final value. The regulator tries to charge the output capacitor as quickly as possible, which results in large peak currents. The start-up current can be limited by connecting an external capacitor (typically 100nF to 1F) to the SS pin. This capacitor is slowly charged to ~2.2V by an internal 275k resistor once the part is activated. SS pin voltages below ~1.1V reduce the internal current limit. Thus, the gradual ramping of the SS voltage also gradually increases the current limit as the capacitor charges. This, in turn, allows the output capacitor to charge gradually toward its final value while limiting the start-up current. In the event of a commanded shutdown or lockout (SHDN pin), internal undervoltage lockout (UVLO) or a thermal lockout, the soft-start capacitor is automatically discharged to ~200mV before charging resumes, thus assuring that the soft-start occurs after every reactivation of the chip. Shutdown The SHDN pin is used to enable or disable the chip. For most applications, SHDN can be driven by a digital logic source. Voltages above 1.38V enable normal active operation. Voltages below 300mV will shutdown the chip, resulting in extremely low quiescent current. While the SHDN voltage transitions through the lockout voltage range (0.3V to 1.24V) the power switch is disabled and the SR2 latch is set (see the Block Diagram). This causes the soft-start capacitor to begin discharging, which continues until the capacitor is discharged and active operation is enabled. Although the power switch is disabled, SHDN voltages in the lockout range do not necessarily reduce quiescent current until the SHDN voltage is near or below the shutdown threshold. Also note that SHDN can be driven above VIN or VOUT as long as the SHDN voltage is limited to less than 32V. ACTIVE (NORMAL OPERATION) 1.38V 1.24V SHDN (V) (1) SYNC may not toggle outside the frequency range of 200kHz to 2.5MHz unless it is stopped low to enable the free-running oscillator. 0.3V 0.0V (HYSTERESIS AND TOLERANCE) LOCKOUT (POWER SWITCH OFF, SS CAPACITOR DISCHARGED) SHUTDOWN (LOW QUIESCENT CURRENT) 3580 F06 Figure 6. Chip States vs SHDN Voltage Configurable Undervoltage Lockout Figure 7 shows how to configure an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) for the LT3580. Typically, UVLO is used in situations where the input supply is current-limited, has a relatively high source resistance, or ramps up/down slowly. A switching regulator draws constant power from the source, so source current increases as source voltage drops. This looks like a negative resistance load to the source and can cause the source to current-limit or latch low under low 3580fg 13 LT3580 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION VIN VIN 1.3V RUVLO1 SHDN - ACTIVE/ LOCKOUT + RUVLO1 = 11.6A AT 1.3V RUVLO2 (OPTIONAL) GND 3580 F07 Figure 7. Configurable UVLO source voltage conditions. UVLO prevents the regulator from operating at source voltages where these problems might occur. The shutdown pin comparator has voltage hysteresis with typical thresholds of 1.32V (rising) and 1.29V (falling). Resistor RUVLO2 is optional. RUVLO2 can be included to reduce the overall UVLO voltage variation caused by variations in SHDN pin current (see the Electrical Characteristics). A good choice for RUVLO2 is 10k 1%. After choosing a value for RUVLO2 , RUVLO1 can be determined from either of the following: VIN+ -1.32V RUVLO1 = 1.32V +11.6A RUVLO2 or RUVLO1 = - VIN -1.29V 1.29V +11.6A RUVLO2 where VIN+ and VIN- are the VIN voltages when rising or falling respectively. For example, to disable the LT3580 for VIN voltages below 3.5V using the single resistor configuration, choose: RUVLO1 = 3.5V -1.29V =190.5k 1.29V +11.6A To activate the LT3580 for VIN voltage greater than 4.5V using the double resistor configuration, choose RUVLO2 = 10k and: 4.5V -1.32V = 22.1k 1.32V +11.6A 10k Internal Undervoltage Lockout The LT3580 monitors the VIN supply voltage in case VIN drops below a minimum operating level (typically about 2.3V). When VIN is detected low, the power switch is deactivated, and while sufficient VIN voltage persists, the soft-start capacitor is discharged. After VIN is detected high, the power switch will be reactivated and the soft-start capacitor will begin charging. Thermal Considerations For the LT3580 to deliver its full output power, it is imperative that a good thermal path be provided to dissipate the heat generated within the package. This is accomplished by taking advantage of the thermal pad on the underside of the IC. It is recommended that multiple vias in the printed circuit board be used to conduct heat away from the IC and into a copper plane with as much area as possible. Thermal Lockout If the die temperature reaches approximately 165C, the part will go into thermal lockout, the power switch will be turned off and the soft-start capacitor will be discharged. The part will be enabled again when the die temperature has dropped by ~5C (nominal). Thermal Calculations Power dissipation in the LT3580 chip comes from four primary sources: switch I2R loss, NPN base drive (AC), NPN base drive (DC), and additional input current. The following formulas can be used to approximate the power losses. These formulas assume continuous mode operation, 3580fg 14 LT3580 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION so they should not be used for calculating efficiency in discontinuous mode or at light load currents. *I V Average Input Current: IIN = OUT OUT VIN * Switch I2R Loss: PSW = (DC)(IIN )2 (RSW ) Base Drive Loss (AC): PBAC =13n(IIN )(VOUT )(f) Base Drive Loss (DC): PBDC = (VIN )(IIN )(DC) 50 Input Power Loss: PINP = 7mA(VIN ) where: RSW = switch resistance (typically 200m at 1.5A) DC = duty cycle (see the Power Switch Duty Cycle section for formulas) = power conversion efficiency (typically 88% at high currents) Example: boost configuration, VIN = 5V, VOUT = 12V, IOUT = 0.5A, f = 1.25MHz, VD = 0.5V: IIN = 1.36A DC = 61.5% PSW = 228mW PBAC = 270mW PBDC = 84mW PINP = 35mW Total LT3580 power dissipation (PTOT) = 617mW Thermal resistance for the LT3580 is influenced by the presence of internal, topside or backside planes. To calculate die temperature, use the appropriate thermal resistance number and add in worst-case ambient temperature: TJ = TA + JA * PTOT where TJ = junction temperature, TA = ambient temperature, JA = 43C/W for the 3mm x 3mm DFN package and 35C/W to 40C/W for the MSOP Exposed Pad package. PTOT is calculated above. VIN Ramp Rate While initially powering a switching converter application, the VIN ramp rate should be limited. High VIN ramp rates can cause excessive inrush currents in the passive components of the converter. This can lead to current and/or voltage overstress and may damage the passive components or the chip. Ramp rates less than 500mV/s, depending on component parameters, will generally prevent these issues. Also, be careful to avoid hot-plugging. Hot-plugging occurs when an active voltage supply is "instantly" connected or switched to the input of the converter. Hot-plugging results in very fast input ramp rates and is not recommended. Finally, for more information, refer to Linear application note AN88, which discusses voltage overstress that can occur when an inductive source impedance is hot-plugged to an input pin bypassed by ceramic capacitors. Layout Hints As with all high frequency switchers, when considering layout, care must be taken to achieve optimal electrical, thermal and noise performance. One will not get advertised performance with a careless layout. For maximum efficiency, switch rise and fall times are typically in the 5ns to 10ns range. To prevent noise, both radiated and conducted, the high speed switching current path, shown in Figure 8, must be kept as short as possible. This is implemented in the suggested layout of a boost configuration in Figure 9. Shortening this path will also reduce the parasitic trace inductance. At switch-off, this parasitic inductance produces a flyback spike across the LT3580 switch. When operating at higher currents and output voltages, with poor layout, this spike can generate voltages across the LT3580 that may exceed its absolute maximum rating. A ground plane should also be used under the switcher circuitry to prevent interplane coupling and overall noise. The VC and FB components should be kept as far away as practical from the switch node. The ground for these components should be separated from the switch current path. Failure to do so can result in poor stability or subharmonic oscillation. 3580fg 15 LT3580 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Board layout also has a significant effect on thermal resistance. The exposed package ground pad is the copper plate that runs under the LT3580 die. This is a good thermal path for heat out of the package. Soldering the pad onto the board reduces die temperature and increases the power capability of the LT3580. Provide as much copper area as possible around this pad. Adding multiple feedthroughs around the pad to the ground plane will also help. Figures 9 and 10 show the recommended component placement for the boost and SEPIC configurations, respectively. Layout Hints for Inverting Topology Figure 11 shows recommended component placement for the dual inductor inverting topology. Input bypass capacitor, C1, should be placed close to the LT3580, as shown. The load should connect directly to the output capacitor, C2, for best load regulation. You can tie the local ground into the system ground plane at the C3 ground terminal. The cut ground copper at D1's cathode is essential to obtain low noise. This important layout issue arises due to the chopped nature of the currents flowing in Q1 and D1. If they are both tied directly to the ground plane before being combined, switching noise will be introduced into the ground plane. It is almost impossible to get rid of this noise, once present in the ground plane. The solution is to tie D1's cathode to the ground pin of the LT3580 before the combined currents are dumped in the ground plane as drawn in Figure 2, Figure 12 and Figure 13. This single layout technique can virtually eliminate high frequency "spike" noise, so often present on switching regulator outputs.
