Output capacitor can be completely discharged through the load or feedback resistors. A 150 resistor is internally connected between SW and VIN. SW (Pin 1): Switch Pin. Connect inductor between SW and VIN. Keep these PCB trace lengths as short and wide as possible to reduce EMI and voltage overshoot. If the inductor current falls to zero, or SHDN is low, an internal 150 antiringing switch is connected from SW to VIN to minimize EMI. VOUT (Pin 5): Output Voltage Sense Input and Drain of the Internal Synchronous Rectifier MOSFET. Bias is derived from VOUT. PCB trace length from VOUT to the output filter capacitor(s) should be as short and wide as possible. VOUT is completely disconnected from VIN when SHDN is low due to the output disconnect feature. GND (Pin 2): Signal and Power Ground. Provide a short direct PCB path between GND and the (-) side of the output capacitor(s). FB (Pin 3): Feedback Input to the gm Error Amplifier. Connect resistor divider tap to this pin. The output voltage can be adjusted from 2.5V to 5V by: VIN (Pin 6): Battery Input Voltage. The device gets its start-up bias from VIN. Once VOUT exceeds VIN, bias comes from VOUT. Thus, once started, operation is completely independent from VIN. Operation is only limited by the output power level and the battery's internal series resistance. VOUT = 1.23V * [1 + (R1/R2)] SHDN (Pin 4): Logic Controlled Shutdown Input.

Able to operate from an input voltage below 1V, the device features fixed frequency, current mode PWM control for exceptional line and load regulation. Low RDS(ON) internal MOSFET switches enable the device to maintain high efficiency over a wide range of load current. Detailed descriptions of the different operating modes follow. Operation can be best understood by referring to the Block Diagram. LOW VOLTAGE START-UP The LTC3429/LTC3429B include an independent start-up oscillator designed to start up at input voltages of 0.85V typically. The frequency and duty cycle of the start-up oscillator are internally set to 150kHz and 67% respectively. In this mode, the IC operates completely open-loop and the current limit is also set internally to 850mA. Once the output voltage exceeds 2.3V, the start-up circuitry is disabled and normal close-loop PWM operation is initiated. In normal mode, the LTC3429/LTC3429B power themselves from VOUT instead of VIN. This allows the battery voltage to drop to as low as 0.5V without affecting the circuit operation. The only limiting factor in the application becomes the ability of the battery to supply sufficient energy to the output. Soft-start and inrush current limiting are provided during start-up as well as normal mode operation. Soft-Start The LTC3429/LTC3429B provide soft-start by charging an internal capacitor with a very weak current source. The voltage on this capacitor, in turn, slowly ramps the peak inductor current from zero to a maximum value of 850mA. The soft-start time is typically 2.5ms, the time it takes to charge the capacitor from zero to 1.35V. However, this time varies greatly with load current, output voltage and input voltage (see Typical Performance Characteristics, Inrush Current Control and Soft-Start). The soft-start capacitor is discharged completely in the event of a commanded shutdown or a thermal shutdown. It is discharged only partially in case of a short circuit at the output. LOW NOISE FIXED FREQUENCY OPERATION Oscillator The frequency of operation is internally set to 500kHz. Error Amp The error amplifier is an internally compensated transconductance type (current output) with a transconductance (gm) = 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 voltage divider from VOUT to ground programs the output voltage via FB from 2.5V to 5V using the equation: VOUT = 1.23V * [1 + (R1/R2)] Current Sensing Lossless current sensing converts the NMOS switch current signal to a voltage to be 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. Peak switch current is limited to approximately 850mA independent of input or output voltage. The switch current signal is blanked for 60ns 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 approximately 27mA. This prevents the inductor current from reversing in polarity thereby improving efficiency at light loads. Antiringing Control The antiringing control circuitry prevents high frequency ringing of the SW pin as the inductor current goes to zero in discontinuous mode. The damping of the resonant circuit formed by L and CSW (capacitance on SW pin) is achieved by placing a 150 resistor across the inductor. Synchronous Rectifier To prevent the inductor current from running away, the PMOS synchronous rectifier is only enabled when VOUT > (VIN + 0.1V) and the FB pin is >0.8V. 3429fa 6 LTC3429/LTC3429B U OPERATIO Thermal Shutdown An internal temperature monitor will start to reduce the peak current limit if the die temperature exceeds 125C. If the die temperature continues to rise and reaches 160C, the part will go into thermal shutdown, all switches will be turned off and the soft-start capacitor will be reset. The part will be enabled again when the die temperature drops by about 15C. Burst Mode OPERATION (LTC3429 Only) Portable devices frequently spend extended time in low power or standby mode, only switching to high power consumption when specific functions are enabled. To improve battery life in these types of products, it is important to maintain a high power conversion efficiency over a wide output power range. The LTC3429 provides automatic Burst Mode operation to increase efficiency of the power converter at light loads. Burst Mode operation is initiated if the output load current falls below an internally programmed threshold. This threshold has an inverse dependence on the duty cycle of the converter and also the value of the external inductor (See Typical Performance Characteristics, Output Current Burst Mode Threshold vs VIN). Once Burst Mode operation is initiated, only the circuitry required to monitor the output is kept alive and the rest of the device is turned off. This is referred to as the sleep state in which the IC consumes only 20A from the output capacitor. When the output voltage droops by about 1% from its nominal value, the part wakes up and commences normal PWM operation. The output capacitor recharges and causes the part to re-enter the sleep state if the output load remains less than the Burst Mode threshold. The frequency of this intermittent PWM or burst operation depends on the load current; that is, as the load current drops further below the burst threshold, the LTC3429 turns on less frequently. When the load current increases above the burst threshold, the LTC3429 seamlessly resumes continuous PWM operation. Thus, Burst Mode operation maximizes the efficiency at very light loads by minimizing switching and quiescent losses. However, the output ripple typically increases to about 2% peak-to-peak. Burst Mode ripple can be reduced, in some circumstances, by placing a small phase-lead capacitor (CPL) between VOUT and FB pins (refer to the Block Diagram). However, this may adversely affect the efficiency and the quiescent current requirement at light loads. Typical values of CPL range from 15pF to 220pF. OUTPUT DISCONNECT AND INRUSH LIMITING The LTC3429/LTC3429B are designed to allow true output disconnect by eliminating body diode conduction of the internal PMOS rectifier. This allows VOUT to go to zero volts during shutdown, drawing zero current from the input source. It also allows for inrush current limiting at start-up, minimizing surge currents seen by the input supply. Note that to obtain the advantage of output disconnect, there must not be an external Schottky diode connected between the SWITCH pin and VOUT. Board layout is extremely critical to minimize voltage overshoot on the SWITCH pin due to stray inductance. Keep the output filter capacitor as close as possible to the VOUT pin and use very low ESR/ESL ceramic capacitors tied to a good ground plane. For applications with VOUT over 4.3V, a Schottky diode is required to limit the peak SWITCH voltage to less than 6V unless some form of external snubbing is employed. This diode must also be placed very close to the pins to minimize stray inductance. See the Applications Information. SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION Unlike most boost converters, the LTC3429/LTC3429B allow their output to be short circuited due to the output disconnect feature. The devices incorporate internal features such as current limit foldback, thermal regulation and thermal shutdown for protection from an excessive overload or short circuit. In the event of a short circuit, the internal soft-start capacitor gets partially discharged. This, in turn, causes the maximum current limit to foldback to a smaller value. In addition to this, a thermal regulation circuit starts to dial back the current limit farther if the die temperature rises above 125C. If the die temperature still reaches 160C, the device shuts off entirely. VIN > VOUT OPERATION The LTC3429/LTC3429B will maintain voltage regulation even if the input voltage is above the output voltage. This 3429fa 7 LTC3429/LTC3429B U OPERATIO is achieved by terminating the switching of the synchronous PMOS and applying VIN statically on its gate. This ensures that the slope of the inductor current will reverse during the time current is flowing to the output. Since the PMOS no longer acts as a low impedance switch in this mode, there will be more power dissipation within the IC. This will cause a sharp drop in the efficiency (see Typical Performance Characteristics, Efficiency vs VIN). The maximum output current should be limited in order to maintain an acceptable junction temperature. U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES The high speed operation of the LTC3429/LTC3429B 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 temperature. A multilayer board with a separate ground plane is ideal, but not absolutely necessary. inductor ripple current. Increasing the inductance above 10H will increase size while providing little improvement in output current capability. The approximate output current capability of the LTC3429 versus inductance value is given in the equation below and illustrated graphically in Figure 3.

Maximum Output Current vs Inductance Based on 90% Efficiency 3429fa 8 LTC3429/LTC3429B U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO The inductor current ripple is typically set for 20% to 40% of the maximum inductor current (IP). 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 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 LTC3429/LTC3429B. 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 Table 1. Recommended Inductors 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 10F input capacitor is sufficient for virtually any application. Larger values may be used without limitations. Table 2 shows a list of several ceramic capacitor manufacturers.

Multilayer ceramic capacitors are an excellent choice as they have extremely low ESR and are available in small footprints. A 4.7F to 15F output capacitor is sufficient for most applications. Larger values up to 22F 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 10F to maintain acceptable phase margin. X5R and X7R dielectric materials are preferred for their ability to maintain capacitance over wide voltage and temperature ranges. Table 2.

If output disconnect is required, an active snubber network is suggested as shown below. Examples of Schottky diodes are: MBR0520L, PMEG2010EA, 1N5817 or equivalent.

The Schottky diode between SW and VOUT will provide a peak efficiency Application Circuit for VOUT > 4.3V Where Inrush Current Limiting and Output Disconnect are Required Li-Ion to 5V Efficiency D1* 100 + Li-Ion C1 4.7F 1 6 MP1 SW VIN VOUT OFF ON SHDN FB 3 R2 604k GND 2 C2 10F 3429 TA04 VIN = 4.2V 90 10 EFFICIENCY *LOCATE COMPONENTS CLOSE TO THE PIN C1: TAIYO YUDEN X5R JMK212BJ475MM C2: TAIYO YUDEN X5R JMK212BJ106MM D1: MOTOROLA MBR0520L L1: COILCRAFT D0160C-472 MP1: ZETEX ZXM61P02F VIN = 3.6V 80 1 70 0.1 VIN = 3.6V VIN = 4.2V 60 0.01 POWER LOSS (W) R1 1.82M LTC3429 4 VOUT 5V 250mA 5 100 C3* 0.22F EFFICIENCY (%) VIN 2.7V TO 4.2V L1 4.7H POWER LOSS 50 40 0.1 0.001 0.0001 1000 1 10 100 OUTPUT CURRENT (mA) 3429 TA04b Application Circuit for VOUT > 4.3V Where Inrush Current Limiting and Output Disconnect are Not Required L1 4.7H + 100 2 AA CELL C1 4.7F 6 SW VIN VOUT 5 4 SHDN FB 3 GND 2 R1 1.82M R2 604k VOUT 5V 150mA C2 10F 3429 TA05 *LOCATE COMPONENTS CLOSE TO THE PIN C1: TAIYO YUDEN X5R JMK212BJ475MM C2: TAIYO YUDEN X5R JMK212BJ106MM D1: MOTOROLA MBR0520L L1: COILCRAFT D0160C-472 VIN = 3V 90 80 70 EFFICIENCY 10 VIN = 2.4V 1 VIN = 2.4V 0.1 VIN = 3V 0.01 60 POWER LOSS (W) LTC3429 OFF ON 100 1 EFFICIENCY (%) VIN 2-Cell to 5V Efficiency D1* POWER LOSS 50 40 0.1 0.001 1 10 100 OUTPUT CURRENT (mA) 0.0001 1000 3429 TA05b 3429fa 10 LTC3429/LTC3429B U PACKAGE DESCRIPTIO S6 Package 6-Lead Plastic TSOT-23 (Reference LTC DWG # 05-08-1636) 0.62 MAX 2.90 BSC (NOTE 4) 0.95 REF 1.22 REF 3.85 MAX 2.62 REF 1.4 MIN 2.80 BSC 1.50 - 1.75 (NOTE 4) PIN ONE ID RECOMMENDED SOLDER PAD LAYOUT PER IPC CALCULATOR 0.30 - 0.45 6 PLCS (NOTE 3) 0.95 BSC 0.80 - 0.90 0.20 BSC 0.01 - 0.10 1.00 MAX DATUM `A' 0.30 - 0.50 REF 0.09 - 0.20 (NOTE 3) 1.90 BSC S6 TSOT-23 0302 NOTE: 1.
