3 Description
The LM2734-Q1 regulator is a monolithic, high-
frequency, PWM step-down DC/DC converter in a 6-
pin Thin SOT package. The device provides all the
active functions to provide local DC/DC conversion
with fast transient response and accurate regulation
in the smallest possible PCB area.
With a minimum of external components and online
design support through WEBENCH, the LM2734-Q1
regulator is easy to use. The ability to drive 1-A loads
with an internal 300-mΩNMOS switch using state-of-
the-art 0.5-µm BiCMOS technology results in the best
power density available. The world-class control
circuitry allows for on-times as low as 13 ns, thus
supporting exceptionally high-frequency conversion
over the entire 3-V to 20-V input operating range
down to the minimum output voltage of 0.8 V.
Switching frequency is internally set to 550 kHz
(LM2734Y) or 1.6 MHz (LM2734X), allowing the use
of extremely small surface-mount inductors and chip
capacitors. Even though the operating frequencies
are very high, efficiencies up to 90% are easy to
achieve. External shutdown is included, featuring an
ultra-low standby current of 30 nA.
The LM2734-Q1 regulator uses current-mode control
and internal compensation to provide high-
performance regulation over a wide range of
operating conditions. Additional features include
internal soft-start circuitry to reduce inrush current,
pulse-by-pulse current limit, thermal shutdown, and
output overvoltage protection.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM2734-Q1 device is a constant frequency PWM buck regulator IC that delivers a 1-A load current. The
regulator has a preset switching frequency of either 550 kHz (LM2734Y) or 1.6 MHz (LM2734X). These high
frequencies allow the LM2734-Q1 device to operate with small surface-mount capacitors and inductors, resulting
in DC/DC converters that require a minimum amount of board space. The LM2734-Q1 device is internally
compensated, so it is simple to use, and requires few external components. The LM2734-Q1 device uses
current-mode control to regulate the output voltage.
The following operating description of theLM2734-Q1 device will refer to the Simplified Block Diagram () and to
the waveforms in Figure 12. The LM2734-Q1 device supplies a regulated output voltage by switching the internal
NMOS control switch at constant frequency and variable duty cycle. A switching cycle begins at the falling edge
of the reset pulse generated by the internal oscillator. When this pulse goes low, the output control logic turns on
the internal NMOS control switch. During this on-time, the SW pin voltage (VSW) swings up to approximately VIN,
and the inductor current (IL) increases with a linear slope. ILis measured by the current-sense amplifier, which
generates an output proportional to the switch current. The sense signal is summed with the regulator’s
corrective ramp and compared to the error amplifier’s output, which is proportional to the difference between the
feedback voltage and VREF. When the PWM comparator output goes high, the output switch turns off until the
next switching cycle begins. During the switch off-time, inductor current discharges through Schottky diode D1,
which forces the SW pin to swing below ground by the forward voltage (VD) of the catch diode. The regulator
loop adjusts the duty cycle (D) to maintain a constant output voltage.

7.2 Functional Block Diagram
7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Output Overvoltage Protection
The overvoltage comparator compares the FB pin voltage to a voltage that is 10% higher than the internal
reference Vref. Once the FB pin voltage goes 10% above the internal reference, the internal NMOS control
switch is turned off, which allows the output voltage to decrease toward regulation.
7.3.2 Undervoltage Lockout
Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) prevents the LM2734-Q1 from operating until the input voltage exceeds 2.74 V
(typical).
The UVLO threshold has approximately 440 mV of hysteresis, so the part will operate until VIN drops below 2.3 V
(typical). Hysteresis prevents the part from turning off during power up if VIN is nonmonotonic.
7.3.3 Current Limit
The LM2734-Q1 uses cycle-by-cycle current limiting to protect the output switch. During each switching cycle, a
current limit comparator detects if the output switch current exceeds 1.7 A (typical), and turns off the switch until
the next switching cycle begins.
7.3.4 Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown limits total power dissipation by turning off the output switch when the IC junction temperature
exceeds 165°C. After thermal shutdown occurs, the output switch does not turn on until the junction temperature
drops to approximately 150°C.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Enable Pin / Shutdown Mode
The LM2734-Q1 has a shutdown mode that is controlled by the enable pin (EN). When a logic low voltage is
applied to EN, the part is in shutdown mode and its quiescent current drops to typically 30 nA. Switch leakage
adds another 40 nA from the input supply. The voltage at this pin must never exceed VIN + 0.3 V.
7.4.2 Soft Start
This function forces VOUT to increase at a controlled rate during start up. During soft start, the error amplifier’s
reference voltage ramps from 0 V to its nominal value of 0.8 V in approximately 200 µs. This forces the regulator
output to ramp up in a more linear and controlled fashion, which helps reduce inrush current. Under some
circumstances at start-up, an output voltage overshoot may still be observed. This may be due to a large output
load applied during start-up. Large amounts of output external capacitance can also increase output voltage
overshoot. A simple solution is to add a feed forward capacitor with a value between 470 pf and 1000 pf across
the top feedback resistor (R1). See Figure 23 for further detail.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
8.1.1 Boost Function
Capacitor CBOOST and diode D2 in Figure 13 are used to generate a voltage VBOOST. VBOOST - VSW is the gate
drive voltage to the internal NMOS control switch. To properly drive the internal NMOS switch during its on-time,
VBOOST needs to be at least 1.6 V greater than VSW. Although the LM2734-Q1 device will operate with this
minimum voltage, it may not have sufficient gate drive to supply large values of output current. Therefore, it is
recommended that VBOOST be greater than 2.5 V above VSW for best efficiency. VBOOST – VSW should not exceed
the maximum operating limit of 5.5 V.
5.5 V > VBOOST – VSW > 2.5 V for best performance.
Figure 13. VOUT Charges CBOOST
When the LM2734-Q1 device starts up, internal circuitry from the BOOST pin supplies a maximum of 20 mA to
CBOOST. This current charges CBOOST to a voltage sufficient to turn the switch on. The BOOST pin continues to
source current to CBOOST until the voltage at the feedback pin is greater than 0.76 V.
There are various methods to derive VBOOST:
1. From the input voltage (VIN)
2. From the output voltage (VOUT)
3. From an external distributed voltage rail (VEXT)
4. From a shunt or series Zener diode
In the simplified block diagram of Functional Block Diagram, capacitor CBOOST and diode D2 supply the gate-
drive current for the NMOS switch. Capacitor CBOOST is charged via diode D2 by VIN. During a normal switching
cycle, when the internal NMOS control switch is off (TOFF) (refer to Figure 12), VBOOST equals VIN minus the
forward voltage of D2 (VFD2), during which the current in the inductor (L) forward biases the Schottky diode D1
(VFD1). Therefore, the voltage stored across CBOOST is:
VBOOST - VSW = VIN - VFD2 + VFD1 (1)
When the NMOS switch turns on (TON), the switch pin rises to:
VSW = VIN – (RDSON × IL), (2)
forcing VBOOST to rise thus reverse biasing D2. The voltage at VBOOST is then:
VBOOST = 2 VIN – (RDSON × IL) – VFD2 + VFD1 (3)
which is approximately:
2VIN – 0.4 V (4)

Application Information (continued)
for many applications. Thus the gate-drive voltage of the NMOS switch is approximately:
VIN – 0.2 V (5)
An alternate method for charging CBOOST is to connect D2 to the output as shown in Figure 13. The output
voltage should be from 2.5 V and 5.5 V, so that proper gate voltage will be applied to the internal switch. In this
circuit, CBOOST provides a gate drive voltage that is slightly less than VOUT.
In applications where both VIN and VOUT are greater than 5.5 V, or less than 3 V, CBOOST cannot be charged
directly from these voltages. If VIN to VOUT are greater than 5.5 V, CBOOST can be charged from VIN or VOUT minus
a Zener voltage by placing a Zener diode D3 in series with D2, as shown in Figure 14. When using a series
Zener diode from the input, ensure that the regulation of the input supply does not create a voltage that falls
outside the recommended VBOOST voltage.
(VINMAX – VD3) < 5.5 V (6)
(VINMIN – VD3) > 1.6 V (7)
Figure 14. Zener Reduces Boost Voltage from VIN
An alternative method is to place the Zener diode D3 in a shunt configuration as shown in Figure 15. A small 350
mW to 500 mW 5.1-V Zener diode in a SOT or SOD package can be used for this purpose. A small ceramic
capacitor such as a 6.3 V, 0.1-µF capacitor (C4) should be placed in parallel with the Zener diode. When the
internal NMOS switch turns on, a pulse of current is drawn to charge the internal NMOS gate capacitance. The
0.1-µF parallel shunt capacitor ensures that the VBOOST voltage is maintained during this time.
Resistor R3 should be chosen to provide enough RMS current to the Zener diode (D3) and to the BOOST pin. A
recommended choice for the Zener current (IZENER) is 1 mA. The current IBOOST into the BOOST pin supplies the
gate current of the NMOS control switch and varies typically according to the following formula for the X version:
IBOOST = 0.56 × (D + 0.54) × (VZENER – VD2) mA (8)
IBOOST can be calculated for the Y version using the following:
IBOOST = 0.22 × (D + 0.54) × (VZENER – VD2) µA (9)
where D is the duty cycle, VZENER and VD2 are in volts, and IBOOST is in milliamps. VZENER is the voltage applied to
the anode of the boost diode (D2), and VD2 is the average forward voltage across D2. Note that this formula for
IBOOST gives typical current. For the worst case IBOOST, increase the current by 40%. In that case, the worst case
boost current will be:
IBOOST-MAX = 1.4 × IBOOST (10)
R3 will then be given by:
R3 = (VIN – VZENER) / (1.4 × IBOOST + IZENER) (11)
For example, using the X-version let VIN = 10 V, VZENER =5V,VD2 = 0.7 V, IZENER = 1 mA, and duty cycle D =
50%. Then:
IBOOST = 0.56 × (0.5 + 0.54) × (5 - 0.7) mA = 2.5 mA (12)
R3 = (10 V – 5 V) / (1.4 × 2.5 mA + 1 mA) = 1.11 kΩ(13)

8.2.1.2.2 Inductor Selection
The Duty Cycle (D) can be approximated quickly using the ratio of output voltage (VO) to input voltage (VIN):
(14)
The catch diode (D1) forward voltage drop and the voltage drop across the internal NMOS must be included to
calculate a more accurate duty cycle. Calculate D by using the following formula:
(15)
VSW can be approximated by:
VSW = IOx RDS(ON) (16)
The diode forward drop (VD) can range from 0.3 V to 0.7 V depending on the quality of the diode. The lower VD
is, the higher the operating efficiency of the converter.
The inductor value determines the output ripple current. Lower inductor values decrease the size of the inductor,
but increase the output ripple current. An increase in the inductor value will decrease the output ripple current.
The ratio of ripple current (ΔiL) to output current (IO) is optimized when it is set between 0.3 and 0.4 at 1 A. The
ratio r is defined as:
(17)
One must also ensure that the minimum current limit (1.2 A) is not exceeded, so the peak current in the inductor
must be calculated. The peak current (ILPK) in the inductor is calculated as shown in Equation 18:
ILPK = IO+ΔIL/2 (18)
If r = 0.5 at an output of 1 A, the peak current in the inductor will be 1.25 A. The minimum specified current limit
over all operating conditions is 1.2 A. One can either reduce r to 0.4 resulting in a 1.2-A peak current, or make
the engineering judgement that 50 mA over is safe enough with a 1.7-A typical current limit and 6 sigma limits.
When the designed maximum output current is reduced, the ratio r can be increased. At a current of 0.1 A, r can
be made as high as 0.9. The ripple ratio can be increased at lighter loads because the net ripple is actually quite
low, and if r remains constant the inductor value can be made quite large. An equation empirically developed for
the maximum ripple ratio at any current less than 2 A is:
r = 0.387 x IOUT-0.3667 (19)
Note that this is just a guideline.
The LM2734-Q1 operates at frequencies allowing the use of ceramic output capacitors without compromising
transient response. Ceramic capacitors allow higher inductor ripple without significantly increasing output ripple.
See Output Capacitor for more details on calculating output voltage ripple.
Now that the ripple current or ripple ratio is determined, the inductance is calculated as shown in Equation 20:
where
• fsis the switching frequency
• IOis the output current. (20)
When selecting an inductor, make sure that it is capable of supporting the peak output current without saturating.
Inductor saturation will result in a sudden reduction in inductance and prevent the regulator from operating
correctly. Because of the speed of the internal current limit, it necessary to specify the peak current of the
inductor only for the required maximum output current. For example, if the designed maximum output current is
0.5 A and the peak current is 0.7 A, then the inductor should be specified with a saturation current limit of >0.7 A.

There is no need to specify the saturation or peak current of the inductor at the 1.7-A typical switch current limit.
The difference in inductor size is a factor of 5. Because of the operating frequency of the LM2734-Q1, ferrite
based inductors are preferred to minimize core losses. This presents little restriction because the variety of ferrite
based inductors is huge. Lastly, inductors with lower series resistance (DCR) will provide better operating
efficiency. For recommended inductors see example circuits.
8.2.1.2.3 Input Capacitor
An input capacitor is necessary to ensure that VIN does not drop excessively during switching transients. The
primary specifications of the input capacitor are capacitance, voltage, RMS current rating, and ESL (Equivalent
Series Inductance). The recommended input capacitance is 10 µF, although 4.7 µF is sufficient for input voltages
below 6 V. The input voltage rating is specifically stated by the capacitor manufacturer. Make sure to check any
recommended deratings and also verify if there is any significant change in capacitance at the operating input
voltage and the operating temperature. The input capacitor maximum RMS input current rating (IRMS-IN) must be
greater than:
(21)
From Equation 21 from the above equation that maximum RMS capacitor current occurs when D = 0.5. Always
calculate the RMS at the point where the duty cycle, D, is closest to 0.5. The ESL of an input capacitor is usually
determined by the effective cross sectional area of the current path. A large leaded capacitor will have high ESL
and a 0805 ceramic chip capacitor will have very low ESL. At the operating frequencies of the LM2734-Q1
device, certain capacitors may have an ESL so large that the resulting impedance (2πfL) will be higher than that
required to provide stable operation. As a result, surface-mount capacitors are strongly recommended. Sanyo
POSCAP, Tantalum or Niobium, Panasonic SP or Cornell Dubilier ESR, and multilayer ceramic capacitors
(MLCC) are all good choices for both input and output capacitors and have very low ESL. For MLCCs it is
recommended to use X7R or X5R dielectrics. Consult the capacitor manufacturer data sheet to see how rated
capacitance varies over operating conditions.
8.2.1.2.4 Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is selected based upon the desired output ripple and transient response. The initial current
of a load transient is provided mainly by the output capacitor. The output ripple of the converter is:
(22)
When using MLCCs, the ESR is typically so low that the capacitive ripple may dominate. When this occurs, the
output ripple will be approximately sinusoidal and 90° phase shifted from the switching action. Given the
availability and quality of MLCCs and the expected output voltage of designs using the LM2734-Q1 device, there
is really no need to review any other capacitor technologies. Another benefit of ceramic capacitors is their ability
to bypass high frequency noise. A certain amount of switching edge noise will couple through parasitic
capacitances in the inductor to the output. A ceramic capacitor will bypass this noise while a tantalum will not.
Because the output capacitor is one of the two external components that control the stability of the regulator
control loop, most applications will require a minimum at 10 µF of output capacitance. Capacitance can be
increased significantly with little detriment to the regulator stability. Like the input capacitor, recommended
multilayer ceramic capacitors are X7R or X5R. Again, verify actual capacitance at the desired operating voltage
and temperature.
Check the RMS current rating of the capacitor. The RMS current rating of the capacitor chosen must also meet
the following condition:
(23)
8.2.1.2.5 Catch Diode
The catch diode (D1) conducts during the switch off-time. A Schottky diode is recommended for its fast switching
times and low forward voltage drop. The catch diode should be chosen so that its current rating is greater than:
ID1 = IOx (1-D) (24)

Submit Documentation FeedbackCopyright © 2018, Texas Instruments Incorporated
The reverse breakdown rating of the diode must be at least the maximum input voltage plus appropriate margin.
To improve efficiency choose a Schottky diode with a low forward voltage drop.
8.2.1.2.6 Boost Diode
A standard diode such as the 1N4148 type is recommended. For VBOOST circuits derived from voltages less than
3.3 V, a small-signal Schottky diode is recommended for greater efficiency. A good choice is the BAT54 small
signal diode.
8.2.1.2.7 Boost Capacitor
A ceramic 0.01-µF capacitor with a voltage rating of at least 16 V is sufficient. The X7R and X5R MLCCs provide
the best performance.

An alternative method when VIN is greater than 5.5 V is to place the zener diode D3 in a shunt configuration. A
small 350 mW to 500 mW 5.1 V zener in a SOT or SOD package can be used for this purpose. A small ceramic
capacitor such as a 6.3 V, 0.1 μF capacitor (C4) should be placed in parallel with the zener diode. When the
internal NMOS switch turns on, a pulse of current is drawn to charge the internal NMOS gate capacitance. The
0.1 μF parallel shunt capacitor ensures that the VBOOST voltage is maintained during this time.

8.2.10 LM2734Y (550 kHz) VBOOST Derived from Series Zener Diode (VOUT)15Vto9V/1A
Figure 31. LM2734Y (550 kHz) VBOOST Derived from Series Zener Diode (VOUT)15Vto9V/1-A
8.2.10.1 Design Requirements
In applications where both VIN and VOUT are greater than 5.5 V, or less than 3 V, CBOOST cannot be charged
directly from these voltages. If VIN and VOUT are greater than 5.5 V, CBOOST can be charged from VOUT minus a
zener voltage by placing a zener diode D3 in series with D2.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
Input voltage is rated as 3 V to 18 V; however, care must be taken in certain circuit configurations (for example,
VBOOST derived from VIN where the requirement that VBOOST – VSW < 5.5 V should be observed) Also, for best
efficiency VBOOST should be at least 2.5-V above VSW.
The voltage on the Enable pin should not exceed VIN by more than 0.3 V.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
When planning layout there are a few things to consider when trying to achieve a clean, regulated output. The
most important consideration when completing the layout is the close coupling of the GND connections of the CIN
capacitor and the catch diode D1. These ground ends should be close to one another and be connected to the
GND plane with at least two through-holes. Place these components as close to the IC as possible. Next in
importance is the location of the GND connection of the COUT capacitor, which should be near the GND
connections of CIN and D1.
There should be a continuous ground plane on the bottom layer of a two-layer board except under the switching
node island.
The FB pin is a high-impedance node — take care to make the FB trace short to avoid noise pickup and
inaccurate regulation. The feedback resistors should be placed as close as possible to the IC, with the GND of
R2 placed as close as possible to the GND of the IC. The VOUT trace to R1 should be routed away from the
inductor and any other traces that are switching.
High AC currents flow through the VIN, SW and VOUT traces, so they should be as short and wide as possible.
However, making the traces wide increases radiated noise, so the designer must make this trade-off. Radiated
noise can be decreased by choosing a shielded inductor.
The remaining components should also be placed as close as possible to the IC. See Application Note AN-1229
(SNVA054) for further considerations and the LM2734-Q1 demo board as an example of a four-layer layout.
