LTC1174 LTC1174-3.3/LTC1174-5 High Efficiency Step-Down and Inverting DC/DC Converter U FEATURES DESCRIPTIO The LTC(R)1174 is a simple current mode DC/DC converter ideally suited for 9V to 5V, 5V to 3.3V or 5V to - 5V operation. With an internal 0.9 switch (at a supply voltage of 9V), the LTC1174 requires only four external components to construct a complete high efficiency DC/DC converter. High Efficiency: Up to 94% Peak Inductor Current Independent of Inductor Value Short-Circuit Protection Optimized for 5V to - 5V Applications Wide VIN Range: 4V to 18.5V Low Dropout Operation Low-Battery Detector Pin Selectable Current Limit Internal 0.9 Power Switch: VIN = 9V Only Four External Components Required 130A Standby Current Active Low Micropower Shutdown Under a no load condition the LTC1174 draws only 130A. In shutdown, it draws a mere 1A making this converter ideal for current sensitive applications. In dropout, the internal P-channel MOSFET switch is turned on continuously allowing the user to maximize the life of the battery source. The maximum inductor current of the LTC1174 family is pin selectable to either 340mA or 600mA, optimizing efficiency for a wide range of applications. Operation up to 200kHz permits the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors.

The off-time is set by an internal timing capacitor and the operating frequency is a function of VIN. The output voltage is set by an internal resistive divider (LTC1174-3.3 and LTC1174-5) or an external divider returned to VFB Pin 1 (LTC1174). A voltage comparator A1 compares the divided output voltage to a reference voltage of 1.25V. To optimize efficiency, the LTC1174 automatically switches between continuous and Burst Mode(R) operation. The voltage comparator is the primary control element when the device is in Burst Mode operation, while the current comparator controls the output voltage in continuous mode. During the switch"ON" time, switch current flows through the 0.1 sense resistor. When this current reaches the threshold of the current comparator A2, its output signal will change state, setting the flip-flop and turning the switch off. The timing capacitor, CT, begins to discharge until its voltage goes below VTH1. Comparator A4 will then trip, which resets the flip-flop and causes the switch to turn on again. Also, the timing capacitor is recharged. The inductor current will again ramp up until the current comparator A2 trips. The cycle then repeats. When the load is relatively light, the LTC1174 automatically goes into Burst Mode operation. The current mode loop is interrupted when the output voltage reaches the desired regulated value. The hysteretic voltage comparator A1 trips when VOUT is above the desired output voltage, shutting off the switch and causing the timing capacitor to discharge. This capacitor discharges past VTH1 until its voltage drops below VTH2. Comparator A5 then trips and a sleep signal is generated. In sleep mode, the LTC1174 is in standby and the load current is supplied by the output capacitor. All unused circuitry is shut off, reducing quiescent current from 0.45mA to 0.13mA. When the output capacitor discharges by the amount of the hysteresis of the comparator A1, the P-channel switch turns on again and the process repeats itself. Operating Frequency and Inductor Since the LTC1174 utilizes a constant off-time architecture, its operating frequency is dependent on the value of VIN. The frequency of operation can be expressed as: f= 1 VIN - VOUT t OFF VIN + VD (Hz) where tOFF = 4s and VD is the voltage drop across the diode. Note that the operating frequency is a function of the input and ouput voltage. Although the size of the inductor does not affect the frequency, it does affect the ripple current. The peak-to-peak ripple current is given by: + VD V IRIPPLE = 4 * 10 -6 OUT L ( A P- P) By choosing a smaller inductor, a low ESR output filter capacitor has to be used (see CIN and COUT). Moreover, core loss will also increase (see Inductor Core Selection section) due to higher ripple current. Burst Mode is a registered trademark of Linear Technology Corporation. 1174fe 7 LTC1174 LTC1174-3.3/LTC1174-5 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Inductor Core Selection With the value of L selected, the type of inductor must be chosen. Basically there are two kinds of losses in an inductor, core and copper Core losses are dependent on the peak-to-peak ripple current and the core material. However it is independent of the physical size of the core. By increasing the inductance the inductor's peak-to-peak ripple current will decrease, therefore reducing core loss. Utilizing low core loss material, such as molypermalloy or Kool M will allow users to concentrate on reducing copper loss and preventing saturation. Figure 1 shows the effect of different core material on the efficiency of the LTC1174. The CTX core is Kool M and the CTXP core is powdered iron (material 52). EFFICIENCY (%) 50 10 100 LOAD CURRENT (mA) 500 100 EFFICIENCY (%) VIN To avoid overheating, the output capacitor must be sized to handle the ripple current generated by the inductor. The worst case RMS ripple current in the output capacitor is given by: VIN = 5V VOUT = 3.3V IPGM = VIN 60 CTX50-4 CTX50-4P 80 70 VIN = 5V VOUT = 3.3V IPGM = VIN 50 1 ]1/2 (A ) RMS COUT 70 60 IRMS [ IOUT VOUT ( VIN - VOUT ) CTX100-4P 80 90 In continuous mode the source current of the P-channel MOSFET is a square wave of duty cycle VOUT/VIN. To prevent large voltage transients, a low ESR input capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current must be used. The CIN RMS current is given by: CTX100-4 100 1 CIN This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where IRMS = IOUT/2. This simple worst case is commonly used for design because even significant deviations do not offer much relief. Note that ripple current directly affects capacitor's lifetime. DO NOT UNDERSPECIFY THIS COMPONENT. An additional 0.1F ceramic capacitor is also required on VIN for high frequency decoupling. Although higher inductance reduces core loss, it increases copper loss as it requires more windings. When space is not 90 a premium larger gauge wire can be used to reduce the wire resistance. This also prevents excessive heat dissipation. 10 100 LOAD CURRENT (mA) 500 1174 F01 Figure 1. Efficiency Using Different Types of Inductor Core Material IPEAK ( A RMS) 2 = 170 mA or 300mA IRMS Although the output voltage ripple is determined by the hysteresis of the voltage comparator, ESR of the output capacitor is also a concern. Too high of an ESR will create a higher ripple output voltage and at the same time cause the LTC1174 to sleep less often. This will affect the efficiency of the LTC1174. For a given technology, ESR is a direct function of the volume of the capacitor. Several small-sized capacitors can also be paralleled to obtain the same ESR as one large can. Manufacturers such as Nichicon, Chemicon and Sprague should be considered for high performance capacitors. The OS-CON semiconductor dielectric capacitor available from Sanyo has the lowest ESR for its size, at a higher price. 1174fe 8 LTC1174 LTC1174-3.3/LTC1174-5 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Catch Diode Selection The catch diode carries load current during the off-time. The average diode current is therefore dependent on the P-channel switch duty cycle. At high input voltages the diode conducts most of the time. As VIN approaches VOUT the diode conducts only a small fraction of the time. The most stressful condition for the diode is when the output is short-circuited. Under this condition the diode must safely handle IPEAK at close to 100% duty cycle. A fast switching diode must also be used to optimize efficiency. Schottky diodes are a good choice for low forward drop and fast switching times. Most LTC1174 circuits will be well served by either a 1N5818, a MBRS140T3 or a MBR0520L Schottky diode. compared with a 1.25V reference voltage. With the current going into Pin 3 being negligible, the following expression is used for setting the trip limit: R4 VLBTRIP = 1.251 + R3 When the LTC1174 is shut down, the low-battery detector is inactive. VIN LTC1174 R4 3 R3 - + 1.25V REFERENCE Short-Circuit Protection 1174 F03 The LTC1174 is protected from output short by its internal current limit. Depending on the condition of IPGM pin, the limit is either set to 340mA or 600mA. In addition, the offtime of the switch is increased to allow the inductor's current to decay far enough to prevent any current build-up (see Figure 2). IPGM = VIN Figure 3. Low-Battery Comparator LTC1174 Adjustable/Low Noise Applications The LTC1174 develops a 1.25V reference voltage between the feedback (Pin 1) terminal and ground (see Figure 4). By selecting resistor R1, a constant current is caused to flow through R1 and R2 to set the overall output voltage. The regulated output voltage is determined by: R2 VOUT = 1.25 1 + R1 IPGM = 0 GND L = 100H VIN = 13.5V 20s/DIV 1174 F02 Figure 2. Inductor's Current with Output Shorted Low-Battery Detector The low-battery indicator senses the input voltage through an external resistive divider. This divided voltage connects to the "-" input of a voltage comparator (Pin 3) which is For most applications, a 30k resistor is suggested for R1. To prevent stray pickup, a 100pF capacitor is suggested across R1 located close to the LTC1174. Alternatively, a capacitor across R2 can be used to increase the switching frequency for low noise operation. Inverting Applications The LTC1174 can easily be set up for a negative output voltage. If - 5V is desired, the LTC1174-5 is ideal for this application as it requires the least components. Figure 5 shows the schematic for this application.

Positive-to-Negative 5V Converter output voltage is now taken off the GND pin. Therefore, the maximum input voltage is now determined by the difference between the absolute maximum voltage rating and the output voltage. A maximum of 12V is specified in Figure 5, giving the circuit a 1.5V of headroom for VIN. Note that the circuit can operate from a minimum of 4V, making it ideal for a 4 NiCad cell application. For a higher output current circuit, please refer to the Typical Applications section. LTC1174-5 regulator and also to one or more loads in parallel with the the regulator's VIN. If the battery is disconnected while the LTC1174/LTC1174-3.3/LTC1174-5 regulator is supplying a light load and one of the parallel circuits is a heavy load, the input capacitor of the LTC1174/ LTC1174-3.3/LTC1174-5 regulator could be pulled down faster than the output capacitor, causing the absolute maximum ratings to be exceeded. The result is often a latchup which can be destructive if VIN is reapplied. Battery disconnect is possible as a result of mechanical stress, bad battery contacts or use of a lithium-ion battery with a built-in internal disconnect. The user needs to assess his/her application to determine whether this situation could occur. If so, additional protection is necessary. Prevention against latchup can be accomplished by simply connecting a Schottky diode across the SW and VIN pins as shown in Figure 6. The diode will normally be reverse biased unless VIN is pulled below VOUT at which time the diode will clamp the (VOUT - VIN) potential to less than the 0.6V required for latchup. Note that a low leakage Schottky should be used to minimize the effect on no-load supply current. Schottky diodes such as MBR0530, BAS85 and BAT84 work well. Another more serious effect of the protection diode leakage is that at no load with nothing to provide a sink for this leakage current, the output voltage can potentially float above the maximum allowable tolerance. To prevent this from occuring, a resistor must be connected between VOUT and ground with a value low enough to sink the maximum possible leakage current. LATCHUP PROTECTION SCHOTTKY Absolute Maximum Ratings and Latchup Prevention The absolute maximum ratings specify that SW (Pin 5) can never exceed VIN (Pin 6) by more than 0.3V. Normally this situation should never occur. It could, however, if the output is held up while the supply is pulled down. A condition where this could potentially occur is when a battery is supplying power to an LTC1174/LTC1174-3.3/ VIN VOUT SW LTC1174 LTC1174-3.3 LTC1174-5 + 1174 F06 Figure 6.

These items are also illustrated graphically in the layout diagram in Figure 7. Check the following in your layout: As a design example, assume VIN = 9V (nominal), VOUT = 5V, and IOUT = 350mA maximum. The LTC1174-5 is used for this application, with IPGM (Pin 7) connected to VIN. The minmum value of L is determined by assuming the LTC1174-5 is operating in continuous mode. 2. Is the "+" plate of CIN closely connected to VIN (Pin 6)? This capacitor provides the AC current to the internal P-channel MOSFET. IPEAK INDUCTOR CURRENT 1. Is the Schottky catch diode closely connected between ground (Pin 4) and switch (Pin 5)? AVG CURRENT = IOUT I +I = PEAK V IV 2 = 350mA 3. Is the 0.1F VIN decoupling capacitor closely conected between VIN (Pin 6) and ground (Pin 4)? This capacitor carries the high frequency peak currents. 4. Is the SHUTDOWN (Pin 8) actively pulled to VIN during normal operation? The SHUTDOWN pin is high impedance and must not be allowed to float. 5. Is the IPGM (Pin 7) pulled either to VIN or ground? The IPGM pin is high impedance and must not be allowed to float. OUTPUT DIVIDER REQUIRED WITH ADJUSTABLE VERSION ONLY R2 R1 1 VOUT (VFB) 2 LBOUT 3 LBIN 4 GND TIME 1174 F08 Figure 8.

LTC1174 Layout Diagram (See Board Layout Checklist) 1174fe 11 LTC1174 LTC1174-3.3/LTC1174-5 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Solving for L in the above equation and with VD = 0.6V, L = 44.8H. The next higher standard value of L is 50H (example: Coiltronics CTX50-4). The operating frequency, neglecting voltage across diode VD is: V f 2.5 * 105 1 - OUT VIN = 111kHz With the value of L determined, the requirements for CIN and COUT are calculated. For CIN, its RMS current rating should be at least: IRMS = [ ] IOUT VOUT ( VIN - VOUT ) VIN 1/ 2 ( A RMS) = 174mA For COUT, the RMS current rating should be at least: IPEAK ( A RMS) 2 = 300mA IRMS Now allow VIN to drop to 6V. At this minimum input voltage the operating frequency will decrease. The new frequency is 42kHz. Table 1.
