The LT
®
1931/LT1931A are the industry’s highest power
inverting SOT-23 current mode DC/DC converters. Both
parts include a 1A integrated switch allowing high current
outputs to be generated in a small footprint. The LT1931
switches at 1.2MHz while the LT1931A switches at 2.2MHz.
These high speeds enable the use of tiny, low cost
capacitors and inductors 2mm or less in height. The
LT1931 is capable of generating 5V at 350mA or –12V
at 150mA from a 5V supply, while the LT1931A can
generate –5V at 300mA using significantly smaller induc-
tors. Both parts are easy pin-for-pin upgrades for higher
power LT1611 applications.
The LT1931/LT1931A operate in a dual inductor inverting
topology that filters both the input side and output side
current. Very low output voltage ripple approaching 1mV
P-P
can be achieved when ceramic output capacitors are used.
Fixed frequency switching ensures a clean output free
from low frequency noise typically present with charge
pump solutions. The low impedance output remains within
1% of nominal during large load steps. The 36V switch
allows V

to V
OUT
differential of up to 34V.
The LT1931/LT1931A are available in the 5-lead ThinSOT
package.

Figure 2
OPERATIO
U
The LT1931 uses a constant frequency, current mode
control scheme to provide excellent line and load regula-
tion. Operation can be best understood by referring to the
Block Diagram in Figure 2. At the start of each oscillator
cycle, the SR latch is set, turning on the power switch Q3.
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. When this
voltage exceeds the level at the negative input of A2, the SR
latch is reset, turning off the power switch. The level at the
negative input of A2 is set by the error amplifier (g
m
) and
is simply an amplified version of the difference between
the feedback voltage and the reference voltage of –1.255V.
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 taken from
the output; if it decreases, less current is taken. One
function not shown in Figure 2 is the current limit. The
switch current is constantly monitored and not allowed to
exceed the nominal value of 1.2A. If the switch current
reaches 1.2A, the SR latch is reset regardless of the state
of comparator A2. This current limit protects the power
switch as well as various external components connected
to the LT1931.
The Block Diagram for the LT1931A is identical except that
the oscillator is 2.2MHz and resistors R3 to R6 are one-half
the LT1931 values.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
WUUU
LT1931A AND LT1931 DIFFERENCES:
Switching Frequency
The key difference between the LT1931A and LT1931 is
the faster switching frequency of the LT1931A. At 2.2MHz,
the LT1931A switches at nearly twice the rate of the
LT1931. Care must be taken in deciding which part to use.
The high switching frequency of the LT1931A allows
smaller cheaper inductors and capacitors to be used in a
given application, but with a slight decrease in efficiency
and maximum output current when compared to the
LT1931. Generally, if efficiency and maximum output
current are critical, the LT1931 should be used. If applica-
tion size and cost are more important, the LT1931A will be
the better choice. In many applications, tiny inexpensive
chip inductors can be used with the LT1931A, reducing
solution cost.
Duty Cycle
The maximum duty cycle (DC) of the LT1931A is 75%
compared to 84% for the LT1931. The duty cycle for a
given application using the dual inductor inverting topol-
ogy is given by:
DC V
VV
OUT
IN OUT
=+
||
||| |
For a 5V to –5V application, the DC is 50% indicating that
the LT1931A can be used. A 5V to –16V application has a
DC of 76.2% making the LT1931 the right choice. The
LT1931A can still be used in applications where the DC, as
calculated above, is above 75%. However, the part must
be operated in the discontinuous conduction mode so that
the actual duty cycle is reduced.
INDUCTOR SELECTION
Several inductors that work well with the LT1931 are listed
in Table 1 and those for the LT1931A are listed in Table 2.
Besides these, there are many other inductors that can be
used. Consult each manufacturer for detailed information
and for their entire selection of related parts. Ferrite core
inductors should be used to obtain the best efficiency, as
core losses at frequencies above 1MHz are much lower for
ferrite cores than for powdered-iron units. When using
coupled inductors, choose one that can handle at least 1A
of current without saturating, and ensure that the inductor
has a low DCR (copper-wire resistance) to minimize I
2
R
power losses. If using uncoupled inductors, each inductor
need only handle one-half of the total switch current so
that 0.5A per inductor is sufficient. A 4.7µH to 15µH
coupled inductor or a 15µH to 22µH uncoupled inductor
will usually be the best choice for most LT1931 designs.
For the LT1931A, a 2.2µH to 4.7µH coupled inductor or a
3.3µH to 10µH uncoupled inductor will usually suffice. In
certain applications such as the “Charge Pump” inverting
DC/DC converter, only a single inductor is used. In this
case, the inductor must carry the entire 1A switch current.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
WUUU
The inductors shown in Table 2 for use with the LT1931A
were chosen for their small size. For better efficiency, use
similar valued inductors with a larger volume. For in-
stance, the Sumida CR43 series, in values ranging from
3.3µH to 10µH, will give a LT1931A application a few
percentage points increase in efficiency.
CAPACITOR SELECTION
Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) capacitors should
be used at the output to minimize the output ripple voltage.
Multilayer ceramic capacitors are an excellent choice, as
they have an extremely low ESR and are available in very
small packages. X5R dielectrics are preferred, followed by
X7R, as these materials retain their capacitance over wide
voltage and temperature ranges. A 10µF to 22µF output
capacitor is sufficient for most LT1931 applications while
a 4.7µF to 10µF capacitor will suffice for the LT1931A.
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.
Ceramic capacitors also make a good choice for the input
decoupling capacitor, which should be placed as close as
possible to the LT1931/LT1931A. A 1µF to 4.7µF input
capacitor is sufficient for most applications. Table 3 shows
a list of several ceramic capacitor manufacturers. Consult
the manufacturers for detailed information on their entire
selection of ceramic parts.

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
effect 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 capaci-
tors, 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 (C4) in parallel with the resistor (R1)
between V
OUT
and V
NFB
as shown in Figure 1. The
frequency of the zero is determined by the following
equation.
ƒ=π
ZRC
1
214••
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 20kHz to
60kHz. Figure 3 shows the transient response of the
inverting converter from Figure 1 without the phase lead
capacitor C4. The phase margin is reduced as evidenced
by more ringing in both the output voltage and inductor
current. A 220pF capacitor for C4 results in better phase
margin, which is revealed in Figure 4 as a more damped
response and less overshoot. Figure 5 shows the transient
response when a 22µF tantalum capacitor with no phase
lead capacitor is used on the output. The higher output
voltage ripple is revealed in the upper waveform as a
thicker line. The transient response is adequate which
implies that the ESR zero is improving the phase margin.

START-UP/SOFT-START
For most LT1931/LT1931A applications, the start-up in-
rush current can be high. This is an inherent feature of
switching regulators in general since the feedback loop is
saturated due to V
OUT
being far from its final value. The
APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
WUUU
regulator tries to charge up the output capacitor as quickly
as possible, which results in a large inrush current. Fig-
ure 6 shows a typical oscillograph of the start-up wave-
form for the application of Figure 1 starting into a load of
33. The lower waveform shows SHDN being pulsed
from 0V to 5V. The middle waveform shows the input
current, which reaches as high as 0.8A. The total time
required for the output to reach its final value is approxi-
mately 500µs. For some applications, this initial inrush
current may not be acceptable. If a longer start-up time is
acceptable, a soft-start circuit consisting of R
SS
and C
SS
,
as shown in Figure 7, can be used to limit inrush current
to a lower value. Figure 8 shows the relevant waveforms
with R

Where the input to output voltage differential exceeds 20V,
use the MBR0530 (a 30V diode). These diodes are rated to
handle an average forward current of 0.5 A. In applications
where the average forward current of the diode exceeds
0.5A, a Microsemi UPS5817 rated at 1A is recommended.
LAYOUT HINTS
The high-speed operation of the LT1931/LT1931A de-
mands careful attention to board layout. You will not get
advertised performance with careless layout. Figure 10
shows the recommended component placement. The
ground cut at the cathode of D1 is essential for low noise
operation.
