The boost regulator provides power to the linear regulator. The boost regulator output voltage is regulated to 1.1V above the LDO output, optimizing LDO ripple rejection and transient response. Fixed frequency operation and current mode control allow the use of very small inductors and results in low, predictable output ripple. The linear regulator in the LT3048 generates a programmable output and the LT3048-XX generate fixed output voltages. High power supply ripple rejection combined with a low noise internal reference results in less than 500VP-P output ripple and noise. The LT3048 is available in a 8-lead 2mm x 2mm DFN package.

LT3048-XX Block Diagram 3048fa For more information www.linear.com/LT3048 9 LT3048 Series OPERATION The LT3048 combines a boost regulator with a low dropout linear regulator to produce a programmable output from a lower input voltage. The LT3048-15, LT3048-12, LT3048-5, LT3048-3.3 regulate to 15V, 12V, 5V and 3.3V, respectively. With EN below 0.4V, all circuits are turned off, Q2 disconnects the load from the input, and current consumption is less than 1A. Driving EN high enables the oscillator and all bias circuits including voltage reference and regulation amplifiers. The boost regulator uses peak current mode operation, providing cycle-by-cycle current regulation and limiting, fast transient response, and good stability. The error amplifier, A1, regulates BSTOUT (and LDOIN) to 1.1V above LDOOUT or VIN, whichever is higher. Regulating 1.1V between LDOIN and LDOOUT allows the linear regulator to provide good transient response and ripple rejection, while maintaining good efficiency. This regulation loop also minimizes total power dissipation in fault conditions. If the output is overloaded, the linear regulator will enter current limit, LDOOUT voltage will decrease. By reducing the boost regulator output voltage, the voltage across Q2 will be reduced, limiting dissipation in Q2. Thermal shutdown provides additional protection. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Capacitor Selection Inductor Selection A 4.7F ceramic capacitor should be sufficient for the boost regulator output bypass. Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) ceramic capacitors should be used at the outputs of the regulator to minimize the output ripple voltage. Use only X5R or X7R dielectrics, as these materials retain their capacitance over wider voltage and temperature ranges better than other dielectrics. A 5.6H inductor will suffice for most LT3048 applications. See Table 2 for recommended inductor values. Smaller value inductors can be used at the cost of reduced maximum load current. Figure 2 shows the maximum load current as a function of output voltage. The inductor's RMS current rating must be greater than the maximum input current. To keep efficiency high, the DCR (series resistance) should be minimized. Table 3 lists several vendors. Table 1. Ceramic Capacitor Manufacturers MANUFACTURER PHONE WEB Table 2.

LT3048 Typical and Guaranteed Load Current vs. Output Voltage Reducing Output Noise With A Bypass Capacitor The LT3048 relies on the power supply rejection of the linear regulator to reduce switching regulator noise at LDOOUT. The linear regulator also contributes thermal noise to the output. The thermal noise can be reduced, and transient response improved, by adding a capacitor between LDOOUT and BYP. A typical value is 1nF. This capacitor increases start-up time of the regulator. Recommended PCB Layout Figure 3 shows the recommended layout for LT3048 circuits. Most important is careful placement of the BSTOUT bypass capacitor C2. High frequency AC current flows in a loop formed by C2, internal power transistor Q1 and boost diode D2. Keep this loop small. Also be sure to place an unbroken ground plane below this loop, on the highest copper layer below the surface. This prevents the AC loop from coupling to LDOOUT and other nearby circuitry. Keep the SW node as small as possible. LDO Stability and Output Capacitance The LT3048 linear regulator requires an output capacitor for stability. It is designed to be stable with most low ESR capacitors (typically ceramic, tantalum or low ESR electrolytic). A minimum output capacitor of 1F with an ESR of 1 or less is recommended to prevent oscillations. Larger values of output capacitance decrease peak 3048 F03 Figure 3. Recommended PCB Layout deviations and provide improved transient response for larger load current changes. Bypass capacitors, used to decouple individual components powered by the LT3048, increase the effective output capacitor value. Give consideration to the use of ceramic capacitors as they are manufactured with a variety of dielectrics, each with different behavior across temperature and applied voltage. The most common dielectrics used are specified with EIA codes of Z5U, Y5V, X5R and X7R. Typical voltage and temperature coefficients are shown in Figures 4 and 5. The X5R and X7R dielectrics have more stable characteristics and are most suitable for use as the output capacitor. The X7R type has better stability across temperature, while the X5R is less expensive and is available in higher values. Care still must be exercised when using X5R and X7R capacitors; the codes only specify operating temperature range and maximum capacitance change over temperature. Capacitance change due to DC bias with X5R and X7R capacitors can be significant enough to drop capacitor values below appropriate levels. Capacitor DC bias characteristics tend to improve as case size increases, but expected capacitance at operating voltage should be verified. 3048fa For more information www.linear.com/LT3048 11 LT3048 Series APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Wide Input Voltage Applications 40 The LT3048 can be used in wide input voltage applications. The input supply voltage to the LT3048 must be between 2.7V and 4.8V and capable of at least 10mA. The inductor can run off a separate voltage supply (PVIN). This technique allows the output to be powered from 1V to 23V (see Figure 6).

Ceramic Capacitor DC Bias Characteristics Voltage and temperature coefficients are not the only sources of problems. Some ceramic capacitors have a piezoelectric response. A piezoelectric device generates voltage across its terminals due to mechanical stress. In a ceramic capacitor, the stress can be induced by vibrations in the system or thermal transients. 12 3048fa For more information www.linear.com/LT3048 LT3048 Series APPLICATIONS INFORMATION LT3048 LT3048 Efficiency 70 5.6H WE-LHMI4020 SW BSTOUT VIN 1F 60 4.7F LDOUT 301k LT3048 1nF FB OUT 5V 30mA 100k OFF ON BYP EN 50 EFFICIENCY (%) IN 2.7V TO 4.8V 1F GND 40 30 VOUT = 5V L = 5.6H DCR = 120m VIN = 2.7V VIN = 3.3V VIN = 3.6V 20 3048 TA2a 10 0 0 5 10 20 15 LOAD CURRENT (mA) 25 30 3048 TA02b LT3048-15 80 10H LPS3008-103MLB SW 1F 70 4.7F BSTOUT VIN LDOIN LT3048-15 LDOOUT OFF ON 60 BYP EN 1nF GND 3048 TA03a OUT 15V 1F VIN (V) IOUT (mA) 2.7 19 3.3 22 3.6 24 EFFICIENCY (%) IN 2.7V TO 4.8V LT3048-15: Efficiency 50 40 30 LDOOUT = 15V L = 10H DCR = 650m VIN = 2.7V VIN = 3.3V VIN = 3.6V 20 10 0 5 0 10 20 15 LOAD CURRENT (mA) 25 3048 TA03b LT3048-12 80 10H LPS3008-103MR SW 1F 70 4.7F BSTOUT VIN LDOIN LT3048-12 LDOOUT OFF ON 60 BYP EN GND 3048 TA04a 1nF OUT 12V 1F VIN (V) IOUT (mA) 2.7 25 3.3 29 3.6 30 EFFICIENCY (%) IN 2.7V TO 4.8V LT3048-12: Efficiency 50 40 30 VOUT = 12V L = 10H DCR = 650m VIN = 2.7V VIN = 3.3V VIN = 3.6V 20 10 0 0 5 10 20 15 LOAD CURRENT (mA) 25 30 3048 TA04b 3048fa For more information www.linear.com/LT3048 13 LT3048 Series PACKAGE DESCRIPTION Please refer to http://www.linear.com/designtools/packaging/ for the most recent package drawings.
