FEATURES

LTC3526L/LTC3526LB 550mA 1MHz Synchronous Step-Up DC/DC Converters in 2mm x 2mm DFN DESCRIPTION
The LTC(R)3526L/LTC3526LB are synchronous, fixed frequency step-up DC/DC converters with output disconnect. Synchronous rectification enables high efficiency in the low profile 2mm x 2mm DFN package. Battery life in single AA/AAA powered products is extended further with a 680mV start-up voltage and operation down to 500mV once started. A switching frequency of 1MHz 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 LTC3526L features Burst Mode operation at light load conditions allowing it to maintain high efficiency over a wide range of load. The LTC3526LB features fixed frequency operation for low noise applications. Anti-ring circuitry reduces EMI by damping the inductor in discontinuous mode. Additional features include a low shutdown current of under 1A and thermal shutdown. The LTC3526L/LTC3526LB are housed in a 2mm x 2mm x 0.75mm DFN package.

PIN FUNCTIONS
SW (Pin 1): Switch Pin. Connect inductor between SW and VIN. Keep PCB trace lengths as short and wide as possible to reduce EMI. If the inductor current falls to zero or SHDN is low, an internal anti-ringing switch is connected from SW to VIN to minimize EMI. GND (Pin 2): Signal and Power Ground. Provide a short direct PCB path between GND and the (-) side of the input and output capacitors. VIN (Pin 3): Input Supply Pin. Connect a minimum of 1F ceramic decoupling capacitor from this pin to ground using short direct PCB traces. SHDN (Pin 4): Logic Controlled Shutdown Input. There is an internal 4M pull-down on this pin. * SHDN = High: Normal operation * SHDN = Low: Shutdown, quiescent current < 1A FB (Pin 5): Feedback Input to the gm Error Amplifier. Connect resistor divider tap to this pin. The top of the divider connects to the output capacitor, the bottom of the divider connects to GND. Referring to the Block Diagram, the output voltage can be adjusted from 1.5V to 5.25V by: VOUT =1.195V * 1+ R2 R1
VOUT (Pin 6): Output voltage sense and drain of the internal synchronous rectifier. PCB trace from VOUT to the output filter capacitor (4.7F minimum) should be as short and wide as possible. Exposed Pad (Pin 7): The Exposed Pad must be soldered to the PCB ground plane. It serves as an additional ground connection and as a means of conducting heat away from the package.

LTC3526L/LTC3526LB OPERATION
(Refer to Block Diagram)
The LTC3526L/LTC3526LB are 1MHz synchronous boost converters housed in a 6-lead 2mm x 2mm DFN package. With a guaranteed ability to start up and operate from inputs less than 0.8V, this device features fixed frequency, current mode PWM control for exceptional line and load regulation. The current mode architecture with adaptive slope compensation provides excellent transient load response, requiring minimal output filtering. Internal soft-start and internal loop compensation simplifies the design process while minimizing the number of external components. With its low RDS(ON) and low gate charge internal N-channel MOSFET switch and P-channel MOSFET synchronous rectifier, the LTC3526L achieves high efficiency over a wide range of load currents. Burst Mode operation maintains high efficiency at very light loads, reducing the quiescent current to just 9A. Operation can be best understood by referring to the Block Diagram. LOW VOLTAGE START-UP The LTC3526L/LTC3526LB include an independent startup oscillator designed to start up at an input voltage of 0.68V (typical). Soft-start and inrush current limiting are provided during start-up, as well as normal mode. When either VIN or VOUT exceeds 1.3V typical, the IC enters normal operating mode. When the output voltage exceeds the input by 0.24V, the IC powers itself from VOUT instead of VIN. At this point the internal circuitry has no dependency on the VIN input voltage, eliminating the requirement for a large input capacitor. The input voltage can drop as low as 0.5V. The limiting factor for the application becomes the availability of the power source to supply sufficient energy to the output at low voltages, and maximum duty cycle, which is clamped at 90% typical. Note that at low input voltages, small voltage drops due to series resistance become critical, and greatly limit the power delivery capability of the converter. LOW NOISE FIXED FREQUENCY OPERATION Soft-Start The LTC3526L/LTC3526LB contain internal circuitry to provide soft-start operation. The soft-start circuitry slowly
ramps the peak inductor current from zero to its peak value of 750mA (typical) in approximately 0.5ms, allowing startup into heavy loads. The soft-start circuitry is reset in the event of a shutdown command or a thermal shutdown. Oscillator An internal oscillator sets the switching frequency to 1MHz. Shutdown Shutdown is accomplished by pulling the SHDN pin below 0.3V and enabled by pulling the SHDN pin above 0.8V. Note that SHDN can be driven above VIN or VOUT, as long as it is limited to less than the absolute maximum rating. Error Amplifier The positive input of the transconductance error amplifier is internally connected to the 1.195V reference and the negative input is connected to FB. Clamps limit the minimum and maximum error amp output voltage for improved large-signal transient response. Power converter control loop compensation is provided internally. An external resistive voltage divider from VOUT to ground programs the output voltage via FB from 1.5V to 5.25V. VOUT =1.195V * 1+ Current Sensing Lossless current sensing converts the peak current signal of the N-channel MOSFET switch into a voltage that is summed with the internal slope compensation. The summed signal is compared to the error amplifier output to provide a peak current control command for the PWM. Current Limit The current limit comparator shuts off the N-channel MOSFET switch once its threshold is reached. The current limit comparator delay to output is typically 60ns. Peak switch current is limited to approximately 750mA, independent of input or output voltage, unless VOUT falls below 0.7V, in which case the current limit is cut in half.

LTC3526L/LTC3526LB OPERATION
(Refer to Block Diagram)
Zero Current Comparator The zero current comparator monitors the inductor current to the output and shuts off the synchronous rectifier when this current reduces to approximately 30mA. This prevents the inductor current from reversing in polarity, improving efficiency at light loads. Synchronous Rectifier To control inrush current and to prevent the inductor current from running away when VOUT is close to VIN, the P-channel MOSFET synchronous rectifier is only enabled when VOUT > (VIN + 0.24V). Anti-Ringing Control The anti-ring circuit connects a resistor across the inductor to prevent high frequency ringing on the SW pin during discontinuous current mode operation. Although the ringing of the resonant circuit formed by L and CSW (capacitance on SW pin) is low energy, it can cause EMI radiation. Output Disconnect The LTC3526L/LTC3526LB are designed to allow true output disconnect by eliminating body diode conduction of the internal P-channel MOSFET rectifier. This allows for VOUT to go to zero volts during shutdown, drawing no current from the input source. It also allows for inrush current limiting at turn-on, minimizing surge currents seen by the input supply. Note that to obtain the advantages of output disconnect, there must not be an external Schottky diode connected between SW and VOUT. The output disconnect feature also allows VOUT to be pulled high, without any reverse current into a battery connected to VIN. Thermal Shutdown If the die temperature exceeds 160C, the LTC3526L/ LTC3526LB will go into thermal shutdown. All switches will be off and the soft-start capacitor will be discharged. The device will be enabled again when the die temperature drops by about 15C.
Burst Mode OPERATION The LTC3526L will enter Burst Mode operation at light load current and return to fixed frequency PWM mode when the load increases. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics to see the output load Burst Mode threshold current vs VIN. The load current at which Burst Mode operation is entered can be changed by adjusting the inductor value. Raising the inductor value will lower the load current at which Burst Mode operation is entered. In Burst Mode operation, the LTC3526L still switches at a fixed frequency of 1MHz, using the same error amplifier and loop compensation for peak current mode control. This control method eliminates any output transient when switching between modes. In Burst Mode operation, energy is delivered to the output until it reaches the nominal regulation value, then the LTC3526L transitions to sleep mode where the outputs are off and the LTC3526L consumes only 9A of quiescent current from VOUT. When the output voltage droops slightly, switching resumes. This maximizes efficiency at very light loads by minimizing switching and quiescent losses. Burst Mode output voltage ripple, which is typically 1% peak-to-peak, can be reduced by using more output capacitance (10F or greater), or with a small capacitor (10pF to 50pF) connected between VOUT and FB. As the load current increases, the LTC3526L will automatically leave Burst Mode operation. Note that larger output capacitor values may cause this transition to occur at lighter loads. Once the LTC3526L has left Burst Mode operation and returned to normal operation, it will remain there until the output load is reduced below the burst threshold current. Burst Mode operation is inhibited during start-up and softstart and until VOUT is at least 0.24V greater than VIN. The LTC3526LB features continuous PWM operation at 1MHz. At very light loads, the LTC3526LB will exhibit pulse-skip operation.

LTC3526L/LTC3526LB APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
VIN > VOUT OPERATION The LTC3526L/LTC3526LB will maintain voltage regulation even when the input voltage is above the desired output voltage. Note that the efficiency is much lower in this mode, and the maximum output current capability will be less. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics. SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION The LTC3526L/LTC3526LB output disconnect feature allows output short circuit while maintaining a maximum internally set current limit. To reduce power dissipation under short-circuit conditions, the peak switch current limit is reduced to 400mA (typical). SCHOTTKY DIODE Although not recommended, adding a Schottky diode from SW to VOUT will improve efficiency by about 2%. Note that this defeats the output disconnect and short-circuit protection features. PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES The high speed operation of the LTC3526L/LTC3526LB demands careful attention to board layout. A careless layout will result in reduced performance. Figure 1 shows the recommended component placement. A large ground pin copper area will help to lower the die temperature. A multilayer board with a separate ground plane is ideal, but not absolutely necessary. COMPONENT SELECTION Inductor Selection The LTC3526L/LTC3526LB can utilize small surface mount chip inductors due to their fast 1MHz switching frequency. Inductor values between 3.3H and 6.8H are suitable for most applications. Larger values of inductance will allow slightly greater output current capability (and lower the Burst Mode threshold) by reducing the inductor ripple current. Increasing the inductance above 10H will increase component size while providing little improvement in output current capability. The minimum inductance value is given by: L> where: Ripple = Allowable inductor current ripple (amps peakpeak) VIN(MIN) = Minimum input voltage VOUT(MAX) = Maximum output voltage The inductor current ripple is typically set for 20% to 40% of the maximum inductor current. High frequency ferrite core inductor materials reduce frequency dependent power losses compared to cheaper powdered iron types, improving efficiency. The inductor should have low ESR (series resistance of the windings) to reduce the I2R power losses, and must be able to support the peak inductor VIN(MIN) * VOUT(MAX ) - VIN(MIN) Ripple * VOUT(MAX)

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 extremely low ESR and are available in small footprints. A 4.7F to 10F output capacitor is sufficient for most applications. Larger values may be used to obtain extremely low output voltage ripple and improve transient response. X5R and X7R dielectric materials are preferred for their ability to maintain capacitance over wide voltage and temperature ranges. Y5V types should not be used. The internal loop compensation of the LTC3526L/ LTC3526LB are designed to be stable with output capacitor values of 4.7F or greater (without the need for any external series resistor). Although ceramic capacitors are recommended, low ESR tantalum capacitors may be used as well. A small ceramic capacitor in parallel with a larger tantalum capacitor may be used in demanding applications that have large load transients. Another method of improving the transient response is to add a small feed-forward capacitor across the top resistor of the feedback divider (from VOUT to FB). A typical value of 22pF will generally suffice. 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 possible to the device. A 2.2F input capacitor is sufficient for most applications, although larger values may be used without limitations. Table 2 shows a list of several ceramic capacitor manufacturers. Consult the manufacturers directly for detailed information on their selection of ceramic capacitors.
