LT3471 Dual 1.3A, 1.2MHz Boost/Inverter in 3mm x 3mm DFN DESCRIPTION FEATURES n n n n n n n n n n n The LT(R)3471 dual switching regulator combines two 42V, 1.3A switches with error amplifiers that can sense to ground providing boost and inverting capability. The low VCESAT bipolar switches enable the device to deliver high current outputs in a small footprint. The LT3471 switches at 1.2MHz, allowing the use of tiny, low cost and low profile inductors and capacitors. High inrush current at start-up is eliminated using the programmable soft-start function, where an external RC sets the current ramp rate. A constant frequency current mode PWM architecture results in low, predictable output noise that is easy to filter. 1.2MHz Switching Frequency Low VCESAT Switches: 330mV at 1.3A High Output Voltage: Up to 40V Wide Input Range: 2.4V to 16V Inverting Capability 5V at 630mA from 3.3V Input 12V at 320mA from 5V Input -12V at 200mA from 5V Input Uses Tiny Surface Mount Components Low Shutdown Current: < 1A Low Profile (0.75mm) 10-Lead 3mm x 3mm DFN Package The LT3471 switches are rated at 42V, making the device ideal for boost converters up to 40V as well as SEPIC and flyback designs. Each channel can generate 5V at up to 630mA from a 3.3V supply, or 5V at 510mA from four alkaline cells in a SEPIC design. The device can be configured as two boosts, a boost and inverter or two inverters.

Block Diagram OPERATION The LT3471 uses a constant frequency, current mode control scheme to provide excellent line and load regulation. Refer to the Block Diagram. At the start of each oscillator cycle, the SR latch is set, which turns on the power switch, Q1 (Q2). A voltage proportional to the switch current is added to a stabilizing ramp and the resulting sum is fed into the positive terminal of the PWM comparator A2 (A4). When this voltage exceeds the level at the negative input of A2 (A4), the SR latch is reset, turning off the power switch Q1 (Q2). The level at the negative input of A2 (A4) is set by the error amplifier A1 (A3) and is simply an amplified version of the difference between the negative feedback voltage and the positive feedback voltage, usually tied to the reference voltage VREG. In this manner, the error amplifier sets the correct peak current level to keep the output in regulation. If the error amplifier's output increases, more current is delivered to the output. Similarly, if the error decreases, less current is delivered. Each switcher functions independently but they share the same oscillator and thus the switchers are always in phase. Enabling the part is done by taking either SHDN/SS pin above 1.8V. Disabling the part is done by grounding both SHDN/SS pins. The soft-start feature of the LT3471 allows for clean start-up conditions by limiting the amount of voltage rise at the output of comparator A1 and A2, which in turn limits the peak switching current. The soft-start feature for each switcher is enabled by slowly ramping that switcher's SHDN/SS pin, using an RC network, for example. Typical resistor and capacitor values are 0.33F and 4.7k, allowing for a start-up time on the order of milliseconds. The LT3471 has a current limit circuit not shown in the Block Diagram. The switch current is constantly monitored and not allowed to exceed the maximum switch current (typically 1.6A). If the switch 3471fb 5 LT3471 OPERATION current reaches this value, the SR latch is reset regardless of the state of the comparator A2 (A4). Also not shown in the Block Diagram is the thermal shutdown circuit. If the temperature of the part exceeds approximately 160C, both latches are reset regardless of the state of comparators A2 and A4. The current limit and thermal shutdown circuits protect the power switch as well as the external components connected to the LT3471. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Duty Cycle The typical maximum duty cycle of the LT3471 is 94%. The duty cycle for a given application is given by: DC = | VOUT |+| VD | - | VIN | | VOUT |+| VD | - | VCESAT | Where VD is the diode forward voltage drop and VCESAT is in the worst case 330mV (at 1.3A) The LT3471 can be used at higher duty cycles, but it must be operated in the discontinuous conduction mode so that the actual duty cycle is reduced. Setting Output Voltage Setting the output voltage depends on the topology used. For normal noninverting boost regulator topologies: R1 VOUT = VFBP 1+ R2 where VFBN is connected between R1 and R2 (see the Typical Applications section for examples). Select values of R1 and R2 according to the following equation: V R1= R2 OUT - 1 VREF A good value for R2 is 15k which sets the current in the resistor divider chain to 1.00V/15k = 67A. VFBP is usually just tied to VREF = 1.00V, but VFBP can also be tied to a divided down version of VREF or some other voltage as long as the absolute maximum ratings for the feedback pins are not exceeded (see Absolute Maximum Ratings). For inverting topologies, VFBN is tied to ground and VFBP is connected between R1 and R2. R2 is between VFBP and VREF and R1 is between VFBP and VOUT (see the Applications section for examples). In this case: R1 VOUT = VREF R2 Select values of R1 and R2 according to the following equation: V R1=R2 OUT VREF A good value for R2 is 15k, which sets the current in the resistor divider chain to 1.00V/15k = 67A. Switching Frequency and Inductor Selection The LT3471 switches at 1.2 MHz, allowing for small valued inductors to be used. 4.7H or 10H will usually suffice. Choose an inductor that can handle at least 1.4A without saturating, and ensure that the inductor has a low DCR (copper-wire resistance) to minimize I2R power losses. 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 one half of the total switch current. For better efficiency, use similar valued inductors with a larger volume. Many different sizes and shapes are available from various manufacturers. Choose a core material that has low losses at 1.2 MHz, such as ferrite core. Table 1.

To shut down one switcher but not the other one, ground that switcher's SHDN/SS pin. The soft-start feature provides a way to limit the inrush current drawn from the supply upon start-up. To use the soft-start feature for either switcher, slowly ramp up that switcher's SHDN/SS pin. The rate of voltage rise at the output of the switcher's comparator (A1 or A3 for switcher 1 or switcher 2 respectively) tracks the rate of voltage rise at the SHDN/SS pin once the SHDN/SS pin has reached about 1.1V. The soft-start function will go away once the voltage at the SHDN/SS pin exceeds 1.8V. See the Peak Switch Current vs SHDN/SS Voltage graph in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. The rate of voltage rise at the SHDN/SS pin can easily be controlled with a simple RC network connected between the control signal and the SHDN/SS pin. Typical values for the RC network are 4.7k and 0.33F, giving start-up times on the order of milliseconds. This RC time constant can be adjusted to give different start-up times. If different values of resistance are to be used, keep in mind the SHDN/SS Current vs SHDN/SS voltage graph along with the Peak Switch Current vs SHDN/SS Voltage graph, both found in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. The impedance looking into the SHDN/SS pin depends on whether the SHDN/SS is above or below VIN. Normally SHDN/SS will not be driven above VIN, and thus the impedance looks like 100k in series with a diode. If the voltage of the SHDN/SS pin is above VIN, the impedance looks more like 50k in series with a diode. This 100k or 50k impedance can have a slight effect on the start-up time if you choose the R in the RC soft-start network too large. Another consideration is selecting the soft-start time so that the soft-start feature is dominated by the RC network and not the capacitor on VREF. (See VREF voltage reference section of the Applications Information for details.) Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) capacitors should be used at the output to minimize the output ripple voltage. Multi-layer ceramic capacitors are an excellent choice, as they have extremely low ESR and are available in very small packages. X5R dielectrics are preferred, followed by X7R, as these materials retain the capacitance over wide voltage and temperature ranges. A 4.7F to 15F output capacitor is sufficient for most applications, but systems with very low output currents may need only a 1F or 2.2F output capacitor. 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. Always use a capacitor with a sufficient voltage rating. The soft-start feature is of particular importance in applications where the switch will see voltage levels of 30V or higher. In these applications, the simultaneous presence of high current and voltage during startup may cause an overstress condition to the switch. Therefore, depending on input and output voltage conditions, higher RC time constant values may be necessary to improve the ruggedness of the design. Ceramic capacitors also make a good choice for the input decoupling capacitor, which should be placed as close as possible to the LT3471. A 4.7F to 10F 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 Taiyo Yuden (408) 573-4150 www.t-yuden.com AVX (803) 448-9411 www.avxcorp.com Murata (714) 852-2001 www.murata.com The decision to use either low ESR (ceramic) capacitors or the higher ESR (tantalum or OS-CON) capacitors can affect the stability of the overall system. The ESR of any capacitor, along with the capacitance itself, contributes a zero to the system. For the tantalum and OS-CON capacitors, this zero is located at a lower frequency due to the higher value of the ESR, while the zero of a ceramic capacitor is at a much higher frequency and can generally be ignored. A phase lead zero can be intentionally introduced by placing a capacitor (CPL) in parallel with the resistor (R3) between VOUT and VFB as shown in Figure 2. The frequency of the zero is determined by the following equation.

Li-Ion OLED Driver 3471fb 8 LT3471 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION By choosing the appropriate values for the resistor and capacitor, the zero frequency can be designed to improve the phase margin of the overall converter. The typical target value for the zero frequency is between 35kHz to 55kHz. Figure 3 shows the transient response of the step-up converter from Figure 2 without the phase lead capacitor CPL. Although adequate for many applications, phase margin is not ideal as evidenced by 2-3 "bumps" in both the output voltage and inductor current. A 33pF capacitor for CPL results in ideal phase margin, which is revealed in Figure 4 as a more damped response and less overshoot.

This pin must be bypassed with at least 0.01F and no more than 1F. This will ensure stability as well as reduce the noise on this pin. The buffer has a built-in current limit of at least 1mA (typically 1.4mA). This not only means that you can use this pin as an external reference for supplemental circuitry, but it also means that it is possible to provide a soft-start feature if this pin is used as one of the feedback pins for the error amplifier. Normally the soft-start time will be dominated by the RC time constant discussed in the soft-start and shutdown section. However, because of the finite current limit of the buffer for the VREG pin, it will take some time to charge up the bypass capacitor. During this time, the voltage at the VREG pin will ramp up, and this action provides an alternate means for soft-starting the circuit. If the largest recommended bypass capacitor is used, 1F, the worst-case (longest) soft-start function that would be provided from the VREF pin is: 1F * 1.00V =1.0ms 1.0mA Choose the RC network such that the soft-start time is longer than this time, or choose a smaller bypass capacitor for the VREF pin (but always larger than 0.01F) so that the RC network dominates the soft-starting of the LT3471. The voltage at the VREF pin can also be divided down and used for one of the feedback pins for the error amplifier. This is especially useful in LED driver applications, where the current through the LEDs is set using the voltage reference across a sense resistor in the LED chain. Using a smaller or divided down reference leads to less wasted power in the sense resistor. See the Typical Applications section for an example of LED driving applications. 50s/DIV Figure 4. Transient Response of Figure 2's Step-Up Converter with 33pF Phase Lead Capacitor 3471fb 9 LT3471 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION DIODE SELECTION Compensation--Theory A Schottky diode is recommended for use with the LT3471. For high efficiency, a diode with good thermal characteristics at high currents should be used such as the On Semiconductor MBRM120. This is a 20V diode. Where the switch voltage exceeds 20V, use the MBRM140, a 40V diode. These diodes are rated to handle an average forward current of 1.0A. In applications where the average forward current of the diode is less than 0.5A, use the Philips PMEG 2005, 3005, or 4005 (a 20V, 30V or 40V diode, respectively). Like all other current mode switching regulators, the LT3471 needs to be compensated for stable and efficient operation. Two feedback loops are used in the LT3471: 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. LAYOUT HINTS The high speed operation of the LT3471 demands careful attention to board layout. You will not get advertised performance with careless layout. Figure 5 shows the recommended component placement. As with any feedback loop, identifying the gain and phase contribution of the various elements in the loop is critical. Figure 6 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 the equivalent transconductance amplifier gmp. gmp acts as a current source where the output current is proportional to the VC voltage. Note that the maximum output current of gmp is finite due to the current limit in the IC.
