LT8410/LT8410-1 Ultralow Power Boost Converter with Output Disconnect DESCRIPTION FEATURES Ultralow Quiescent Current 8.5A in Active Mode 0A in Shutdown Mode n Comparator Built into SHDN Pin n Low Noise Control Scheme n Adjustable FB Reference Voltage n Wide Input Range: 2.5V to 16V n Wide Output Range: Up to 40V n Integrated Power NPN Switch 25mA Current Limit (LT8410) 8mA Current Limit (LT8410-1) n Integrated Schottky Diode n Integrated Output Disconnect n High Value (12.4M/0.4M) Feedback Resistors Integrated n Built in Soft-Start (Optional Capacitor from V REF to GND) n Overvoltage Protection for CAP and V OUT Pins n Tiny 8-Pin 2mm x 2mm DFN Package The LT(R)8410/LT8410-1 are ultralow power boost converters with integrated power switch, Schottky diode and output disconnect circuitry. The parts control power delivery by varying both the peak inductor current and switch offtime. This control scheme results in low output voltage ripple as well as high efficiency over a wide load range. The quiescent current is a low 8.5A, which is further reduced to 0A in shutdown. The internal disconnect circuitry allows the output voltage to be blocked from the input during shutdown. High value (12.4M/0.4M) resistors are integrated on chip for output voltage detection, significantly reducing input referred quiescent current. The LT8410/ LT8410-1 also features a comparator built into the SHDN pin, overvoltage protection for the CAP and VOUT pins, built in soft-start and comes in a tiny 8-pin 2mm x 2mm DFN package. n L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

Soft-start can be achieved by placing a capacitor from this pin to GND. This cap will be discharged for 70s (typical) at the beginning of start-up and then be charged to 1.235V with a 10A current source. VCC (Pin 2): Input Supply Pin. Must be locally bypassed to GND. See the Typical Applications section. FBP (Pin 8): Positive Feedback Pin. This pin is the error amplifier's positive input terminal. To achieve the desired output voltage, choose the FBP pin voltage (VFBP) according to the following formula: GND (Pin 3): Ground. Tie directly to local ground plane. SW (Pin 4): Switch Pin.

The operation of the part can be better understood by referring to the Block Diagram. The part senses the output voltage by monitoring the internal FB node, and servoing the FB node voltage to be equal to the FBP pin voltage. The chip integrates an accurate high value resistor divider (12.4M/0.4M) from the VOUT pin. The output voltage is set by the FBP pin voltage, which in turn is set by an external resistor divider from the VREF pin. The FBP pin voltage can also be directly biased with an external reference, allowing full control of the output voltage during operation. The switch control block senses the output of the amplifier and adjusts the switching frequency as well as other parameters to achieve regulation. During the start-up of the circuit, special precautions are taken to ensure that the inductor current remains under control The LT8410 series also has a PMOS output disconnect switch. The PMOS switch is turned on when the part is enabled via the SHDN pin. When the part is in shutdown, the PMOS switch turns off, allowing the VOUT node to go to ground. This type of disconnect function is often required in power supplies. The differences between the LT8410 and LT8410-1 are the SW current limit and the output disconnect PMOS current limit. For the LT8410, the SW current limit and PMOS current limit are approximately 25mA and 19mA, respectively, while those of the LT8410-1 are approximately 8mA and 4mA, respectively. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Inductor Selection Several inductors that work well with the LT8410 and LT8410-1 are listed in Table 1. The tables are not complete, and there are many other manufacturers and devices that can be used. Consult each manufacturer for more detailed information and for their entire selection of related parts, as many different sizes and shapes are available. Inductors with a value of 47H or higher are recommended for most LT8410 series designs. Inductors with low core losses and small DCR (copper wire resistance) are good choices for LT8410 series applications. For full output power, the inductor should have a saturation current rating higher than the peak inductor current. The peak inductor current can be calculated as: VIN * 150 * 10 - 6 IPK = ILIMIT + mA L where the worst case ILIMIT is 30mA and 10mA for LT8410 and LT8410-1, respectively. L is the inductance value in henrys and VIN is the input voltage to the boost circuit. Table 1.

X5R and X7R types are recommended because they retain their capacitance over wider voltage and temperature ranges than other types such as Y5V or Z5U. A 2.2F or higher input capacitor, and a 0.1F to 1F output capacitor, are sufficient for most applications. Always use a capacitor with a sufficient voltage rating. Many ceramic capacitors rated at 0.1F to 1F have greatly reduced capacitance when bias voltages are applied. Be sure to check actual capacitance at the desired output voltage. Generally, a 0603 84101fb 8 LT8410/LT8410-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION or 0805 size capacitor will be adequate. A 0.1F to 1F capacitor placed on the CAP node is recommended to filter the inductor current, while a 0.1F to 1F capacitor placed on the VOUT node will give excellent transient response and stability. To make the VREF pin less sensitive to noise, putting a capacitor on the VREF pin is recommended, but not required. A 47nF to 220nF 0402 capacitor will be sufficient. Table 2 shows a list of several capacitor manufacturers. Consult the manufacturers for more detailed information and for their entire selection of related parts. Table 2.

VOUT is equal to 31.85 * VFBP when the output is regulated, as shown in Figure 1. Since the VREF pin provides a good reference (1.235V), the FBP voltage can be easily set by a resistor divider from the VREF pin to ground. The series resistance of this resistor divider should be kept larger than 200K to prevent loading down the VREF pin. The FBP pin can also be biased directly by an external reference. For overvoltage protection, the output voltage is limited to 40V. Therefore, if VFBP is higher than 1.235V, the output voltage will stay at 40V. Connecting the Load to the CAP Node The efficiency of the converter can be improved by connecting the load to the CAP pin instead of the VOUT pin. The power loss in the PMOS disconnect circuit is then made negligible. No quiescent current will be consumed in the internal feedback resistor divider string during shutdown since the PMOS transistor will be open and the internal feedback resistor divider is connected at the VOUT pin. The disadvantage of this method is that the CAP node cannot go to ground during shutdown, but will be limited to around a diode drop below VCC. Loads connected to the part should only sink current. Never force external power supplies onto the CAP or VOUT pins. Maximum Output Load Current The maximum output current of a particular LT8410 series circuit is a function of several circuit variables. The following method can be helpful in predicting the maximum load current for a given circuit: Step 1. Calculate the peak inductor current: IPK = ILIMIT + VIN * 150 * 10 - 6 mA L where ILIMIT is 25mA and 8mA for LT8410 and LT8410-1 respectively. L is the inductance value in henrys and VIN is the input voltage to the boost circuit. Step 2. Calculate the inductor ripple current: IRIPPLE VOUT + 1 - VIN ) * 200 * 10 - 6 ( = mA 50 where VOUT is the desired output voltage. If the inductor ripple current is less than the peak current, then the circuit will only operate in discontinuous conduction mode. The inductor value should be increased so that IRIPPLE < IPK. An application circuit can be designed to operate only in discontinuous mode, but the output current capability will be reduced. 40 OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V) L 30 20 10 Step 3. Calculate the average input current: 0 0 0.5 1 1.5 FBP VOLTAGE (V) 2 8410-1 F01 Figure 1. FBP to VOUT Transfer Curve IIN(AVG) = IPK - IRIPPLE mA 2 84101fb 9 LT8410/LT8410-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Step 4. Calculate the nominal output current: IOUT(NOM) = IIN(AVG) * VIN * 0.7 VOUT mA Step 5. Derate output current: IOUT = IOUT(NOM) * 0.8 For low output voltages the output current capability will be increased. When using output disconnect (load current taken from VOUT), these higher currents will cause the drop in the PMOS switch to be higher resulting in lower output current capability than predicted by the preceding equations. protection against pin glitches and slow ramping), then an internal 10A current source pulls the VREF pin slowly to 1.235V. Since the VOUT voltage is set by the FBP pin voltage, the VOUT voltage will also slowly increase to the regulated voltage, which results in lower peak inductor current. The voltage ramp rate on the pin can be set by the value of the VREF pin capacitor. Output Disconnect The LT8410 series has an output disconnect PMOS that blocks the load from the input during shutdown. The maximum current through the PMOS is limited by circuitry inside the chip, helping the chip survive output shorts. Inrush Current SHDN Pin Comparator and Hysteresis Current When VCC is stepped from ground to the operating voltage while the output capacitor is discharged, a high level of inrush current may flow through the inductor and Schottky diode into the output capacitor. Conditions that increase inrush current include a larger more abrupt voltage step at VCC, a larger output capacitor tied to the CAP pin and an inductor with a low saturation current. While the chip is designed to handle such events, the inrush current should not be allowed to exceed 0.3A. For circuits that use output capacitor values within the recommended range and have input voltages of less than 6V, inrush current remains low, posing no hazard to the device. In cases where there are large steps at VCC (more than 6V) and/or a large capacitor is used at the CAP pin, inrush current should be measured to ensure safe operation. An internal comparator compares the SHDN pin voltage with an internal voltage reference (1.3V) which gives a precise turn-on voltage level. The internal hysteresis of this turn-on voltage is about 60mV. When the chip is turned on, and the SHDN pin voltage is close to this turn-on voltage, 0.1A current flows out of the SHDN pin. This current is called SHDN pin hysteresis current, and will go away when the chip is off. By connecting the external resistors as in Figure 2, a user-programmable enable voltage function can be realized. Soft-Start The LT8410 series contains a soft-start circuit to limit peak switch currents during start-up. High start-up current is inherent in switching regulators, in general, since the feedback loop is saturated due to VOUT being far from its final value. The regulator tries to charge the output capacitor as quickly as possible, which results in large peak current. When the FBP pin voltage is generated by a resistor divider from the VREF pin, the start-up current can be limited by connecting an external capacitor (typically 47nF to 220nF) to the VREF pin. When the part is brought out of shutdown, this capacitor is first discharged for about 70s (providing 10 The turn-on voltage for the configuration is: R1 1.30 * 1+ R2 and the turn-off voltage is: R1 -7 (1.24 - R3 * 10 -7 ) * 1+ R2 - (R1* 10 ) where R1, R2 and R3 are resistance value in .

Programming Enable Voltage by Using External Resistors 84101fb LT8410/LT8410-1 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Board Layout Considerations As with all switching regulators, careful attention must be paid to the PCB layout and component placement. To maximize efficiency, switch rise and fall times are made as short as possible. To prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems, proper layout of the high frequency switching path is essential. The voltage signal of the SW pin has sharp rising and falling edges. Minimize the length and area of all traces connected to the SW pin and always use a ground plane under the switching regulator to minimize interplane coupling. In addition, the FBP pin and VREF pin are sensitive to noise. Minimize the length and area of all traces to these two pins is recommended. Recommended component placement is shown in Figure 3.
