The LTC
®
3400/LTC3400B are synchronous, fixed fre-
quency, step-up DC/DC converters delivering high effi-
ciency in a 6-lead ThinSOT™ package. Capable of supplying
3.3V at 100mA from a single AA cell input, the devices
contain an internal NMOS switch and PMOS synchronous
rectifier.
A switching frequency of 1.2MHz minimizes solution
footprint by allowing the use of tiny, low profile inductors
and ceramic capacitors. The current mode PWM design is
internally compensated, reducing external parts count.
The LTC3400 features automatic shifting to power saving
Burst Mode operation at light loads, while the LTC3400B
features continuous switching at light loads. Antiringing
control circuitry reduces EMI concerns by damping the
inductor in discontinuous mode, and the devices feature
low shutdown current of under 1µA.
Both devices are available in the low profile (1mm)
SOT-23 package.

OPERATIO
U
The LTC3400/LTC3400B are 1.2MHz, synchronous boost
converters housed in a 6-lead ThinSOT package. Able to
operate from an input voltage below 1V, the devices
feature fixed frequency, current mode PWM control for
exceptional line and load regulation. With its low R
DS(ON)
and gate charge internal MOSFET switches, the devices
maintain high efficiency over a wide range of load current.
Detailed descriptions of the three distinct operating modes
follow. Operation can be best understood by referring to
the Block Diagram.
Low Voltage Start-Up
The LTC3400/LTC3400B will start up at a typical V
IN
volt-
age of 0.85V or higher. The low voltage start-up circuitry
controls the internal NMOS switch up to a maximum peak
inductor current of 850mA (typ), with an approximate
1.5µs off-time during start-up, allowing the devices to
start up into an output load. Once V
OUT
exceeds 2.3V, the
start-up circuitry is disabled and normal fixed frequency
PWM operation is initiated. In this mode, the LTC3400/
LTC3400B operate independent of V
IN
, allowing extended
operating time as the battery can droop to several tenths
of a volt without affecting output voltage regulation. The
limiting factor for the application becomes the ability of the
battery to supply sufficient energy to the output.
Low Noise Fixed Frequency Operation
Oscillator: The frequency of operation is internally set to
1.2MHz.
Error Amp: The error amplifier is an internally compensated
transconductance type (current output) with a transconduc-
tance (g
m
) = 33 microsiemens. The internal 1.23V reference
voltage is compared to the voltage at the FB pin to generate
an error signal at the output of the error amplifier. A volt-
age divider from V
OUT
to ground programs the output
voltage via FB from 2.5V to 5V using the equation:
V
OUT
= 1.23V • [1 + (R1/R2)]
Current Sensing: A signal representing NMOS switch
current is summed with the slope compensator. The
summed signal is compared to the error amplifier output
to provide a peak current control command for the PWM.
Peak switch current is limited to approximately 850mA
independent of input or output voltage. The current signal
is blanked for 40ns to enhance noise rejection.
Zero Current Comparator: The zero current comparator
monitors the inductor current to the output and shuts off
the synchronous rectifier once this current reduces to ap-
proximately 20mA. This prevents the inductor current from
reversing in polarity improving efficiency at light loads.
Antiringing Control: The antiringing control circuitry pre-
vents high frequency ringing of the SW pin as the inductor
current goes to zero by damping the resonant circuit
formed by L and C
SW
(capacitance on SW pin).
Burst Mode Operation
Portable devices frequently spend extended time in low
power or standby mode, only switching to high power
drain when specific functions are enabled. In order to
improve battery life in these types of products, high power
converter efficiency needs to be maintained over a wide
output power range. In addition to its high efficiency at
moderate and heavy loads, the LTC3400 includes auto-
matic Burst Mode operation that improves efficiency of
the power converter at light loads. Burst mode operation
is initiated if the output load current falls below an
internally programmed threshold (see Typical Perfor-
mance graph, Output Load Burst Mode Threshold vs VIN).
Once initiated, the Burst Mode operation circuitry shuts
down most of the device, only keeping alive the circuitry
required to monitor the output voltage. This is referred to
as the sleep state. In sleep, the LTC3400 draws only 19µA
from the output capacitor, greatly en
hancing efficiency.
When the output voltage has drooped approximately 1%
from nominal, the LTC3400 wakes up and commences
normal PWM operation. The output capacitor recharges
and causes the LTC3400 to reenter sleep if the output load
remains less than the sleep threshold. The frequency of
this intermittent PWM or burst operation is proportional to
load current; that is, as the load current drops further
below the burst threshold, the LTC3400 turns on less
frequently. When the load current increases above the

PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
The high speed operation of the LTC3400/LTC3400B
demands careful attention to board layout. You will not get
advertised performance with careless layout. Figure 2
shows the recommended component placement. A large
ground pin copper area will help to lower the chip tempera-
ture. A multilayer board with a separate ground plane is
ideal, but not absolutely necessary.

of inductance will allow greater output current capability
by reducing the inductor ripple current. Increasing the
inductance above 10µH will increase size while providing
little improvement in output current capability.

PWM operation seamlessly. Referring to the Block Dia-
gram, an optional capacitor (C

) between V
OUT
and FB in
some circumstances can reduce the peak-to-peak V
OUT
ripple and input quiescent current during Burst Mode
operation. Typical values for C
FF
range from 15pF to
220pF. The LTC3400B does not use Burst Mode operation
and features continous operation at light loads, eliminat-
ing low frequency output voltage ripple at the expense of
light load efficiency.

3400fa
The inductor current ripple is typically set for 20% to 40%
of the maximum inductor current (I
P
). High frequency
ferrite core inductor materials reduce frequency depen-
dent power losses compared to cheaper powdered iron
types, improving efficiency. The inductor should have low
ESR (series resistance of the windings) to reduce the I
2
R
power losses, and must be able to handle the peak
inductor current without saturating. Molded chokes and
some chip inductors usually do not have enough core to
support the peak inductor currents of 850mA seen on the
LTC3400/LTC3400B. To minimize radiated noise, use a
toroid, pot core or shielded bobbin inductor. See Table 1
for some suggested components and suppliers.

Output and Input Capacitor Selection
Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) capacitors should
be used to minimize the output voltage ripple. Multilayer
ceramic capacitors are an excellent choice as they have
APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
WUUU
extremely low ESR and are available in small footprints. A
2.2µF to 10µF output capacitor is sufficient for most
applications. Larger values up to 22µF may be used to
obtain extremely low output voltage ripple and improve
transient response. An additional phase lead capacitor
may be required with output capacitors larger than 10µF
to maintain acceptable phase margin. X5R and X7R
dielectric materials are preferred for their ability to main-
tain capacitance over wide voltage and temperature ranges.
Low ESR input capacitors reduce input switching noise
and reduce the peak current drawn from the battery. It
follows that ceramic capacitors are also a good choice for
input decoupling and should be located as close as pos-
sible to the device. A 4.7µF input capacitor is sufficient for
virtually any application. Larger values may be used with-
out limitations. Table 2 shows a list of several ceramic
capacitor manufacturers. Consult the manufacturers di-
rectly for detailed information on their entire selection of
ceramic parts.

Output Diode
Use a Schottky diode such as an MBR0520L, PMEG2010EA,
1N5817 or equivalent if the converter output voltage is 4.5V
or greater. The Schottky diode carries the output current for
the time it takes for the synchronous rectifier to turn on. Do
not use ordinary rectifier diodes, since the slow recovery
times will compromise efficiency. A Schottky diode is
optional for output voltages below 4.5V, but will increase
converter efficiency by 2% to 3%.
