They can be configured as either a boost, flyback, SEPIC or inverting converter. The LT3758/LT3758A drive a low side external N-channel power MOSFET from an internal regulated 7.2V supply. The fixed frequency, current-mode architecture results in stable operation over a wide range of supply and output voltages. nn The operating frequency of LT3758/LT3758A can be set with an external resistor over a 100kHz to 1MHz range, and can be synchronized to an external clock using the SYNC pin. A minimum operating supply voltage of 5.5V, and a low shutdown quiescent current of less than 1A, make the LT3758/LT3758A ideally suited for batterypowered systems. Applications The LT3758/LT3758A feature soft-start and frequency foldback functions to limit inductor current during startup and output short-circuit. The LT3758A has improved load transient performance compared to the LT3758.

Used to stabilize the voltage loop with an external RC network. FBX (Pin 2): Positive and Negative Feedback Pin. Receives the feedback voltage from the external resistor divider across the output. Also modulates the switching frequency during start-up and fault conditions when FBX is close to GND. SS (Pin 3): Soft-Start Pin. This pin modulates compensation pin voltage (VC) clamp. The soft-start interval is set with an external capacitor. The pin has a 10A (typical) pull-up current source to an internal 2.5V rail. The softstart pin is reset to GND by an undervoltage condition at SHDN/UVLO, an INTVCC undervoltage or overvoltage condition or an internal thermal lockout. RT (Pin 4): Switching Frequency Adjustment Pin. Set the frequency using a resistor to GND. Do not leave this pin open. SYNC (Pin 5): Frequency Synchronization Pin. Used to synchronize the switching frequency to an outside clock. If this feature is used, an RT resistor should be chosen to program a switching frequency 20% slower than the SYNC pulse frequency. Tie the SYNC pin to GND if this feature is not used. SYNC is bypassed when FBX is close to GND. SENSE (Pin 6): The Current Sense Input for the Control Loop. Kelvin connect this pin to the positive terminal of the switch current sense resistor in the source of the NFET. The negative terminal of the current sense resistor should be connected to GND plane close to the IC. 8 GATE (Pin 7): N-Channel MOSFET Gate Driver Output. Switches between INTVCC and GND. Driven to GND when IC is shut down, during thermal lockout or when INTVCC is above or below the overvoltage or UV thresholds, respectively. INTVCC (Pin 8): Regulated Supply for Internal Loads and Gate Driver. Supplied from VIN and regulated to 7.2V (typical). INTVCC must be bypassed with a minimum of 4.7F capacitor placed close to pin. INTVCC can be connected directly to VIN, if VIN is less than 17.5V. INTVCC can also be connected to a power supply whose voltage is higher than 7.5V, and lower than VIN, provided that supply does not exceed 17.5V. SHDN/UVLO (Pin 9): Shutdown and Undervoltage Detect Pin. An accurate 1.22V (nominal) falling threshold with externally programmable hysteresis detects when power is okay to enable switching. Rising hysteresis is generated by the external resistor divider and an accurate internal 2A pull-down current. An undervoltage condition resets sort-start. Tie to 0.4V, or less, to disable the device and reduce VIN quiescent current below 1A. VIN (Pin 10): Input Supply Pin. Must be locally bypassed with a 0.22F, or larger, capacitor placed close to the pin. Exposed Pad (Pin 11): Ground. This pin also serves as the negative terminal of the current sense resistor. The exposed pad must be soldered directly to the local ground plane. 3758afe For more information www.linear.com/LT3758 LT3758/LT3758A Block Diagram CDC L1 D1 VOUT * VIN R4 + R3 CIN L2 * 9 IS2 10A VC 1 RC 1.72V -0.88V - + - + G3 A11 A12 VC Q2 2 8 + - 5V UP 4.5V DOWN G5 R S GATE G2 O A6 VISENSE RAMP 1.28V RAMP GENERATOR - +A3 G1 + + - SS M1 - + + A5 - 110mV SENSE 6 GND RSENSE 100kHz-1MHz OSCILLATOR A4 Q1 FREQ PROG RT SYNC 5 CSS 7 11 D3 3 CVCC PWM COMPARATOR 1.2V D2 INTVCC DRIVER - +A7 FREQUENCY FOLDBACK R5 8k CURRENT LIMIT 7.2V LDO SLOPE + A2 - -0.8V VIN SR1 + A1 - 1.6V FBX A8 TSD 165C G6 17.5V + A9 - UVLO G4 COUT2 1.22V Q3 CC1 FBX - + R2 + COUT1 R1 10 SHDN/UVLO INTERNAL REGULATOR AND UVLO 2.5V IS3 CC2 A10 IS1 2A 2.5V FBX 4 3758 F01 RT Figure 1. LT3758 Block Diagram Working as a SEPIC Converter 3758afe For more information www.linear.com/LT3758 9 LT3758/LT3758A Applications Information Main Control Loop The LT3758 uses a fixed frequency, current mode control scheme to provide excellent line and load regulation. Operation can be best understood by referring to the Block Diagram in Figure 1. The start of each oscillator cycle sets the SR latch (SR1) and turns on the external power MOSFET switch M1 through driver G2. The switch current flows through the external current sensing resistor RSENSE and generates a voltage proportional to the switch current. This current sense voltage VISENSE (amplified by A5) is added to a stabilizing slope compensation ramp and the resulting sum (SLOPE) is fed into the positive terminal of the PWM comparator A7. When SLOPE exceeds the level at the negative input of A7 (VC pin), SR1 is reset, turning off the power switch. The level at the negative input of A7 is set by the error amplifier A1 (or A2) and is an amplified version of the difference between the feedback voltage (FBX pin) and the reference voltage (1.6V or -0.8V, depending on the configuration). In this manner, the error amplifier sets the correct peak switch current level to keep the output in regulation. The LT3758 has a switch current limit function. The current sense voltage is input to the current limit comparator A6. If the SENSE pin voltage is higher than the sense current limit threshold VSENSE(MAX) (110mV, typical), A6 will reset SR1 and turn off M1 immediately. The LT3758 is capable of generating either positive or negative output voltage with a single FBX pin. It can be configured as a boost, flyback or SEPIC converter to generate positive output voltage, or as an inverting converter to generate negative output voltage. When configured as a SEPIC converter, as shown in Figure 1, the FBX pin is pulled up to the internal bias voltage of 1.6V by a voltage divider (R1 and R2) connected from VOUT to GND. Comparator A2 becomes inactive and comparator A1 performs the inverting amplification from FBX to VC. When the LT3758 is in an inverting configuration, the FBX pin is pulled down to -0.8V by a voltage divider connected from VOUT to GND. Comparator A1 becomes inactive and comparator A2 performs the noninverting amplification from FBX to VC. 10 The LT3758 has overvoltage protection functions to protect the converter from excessive output voltage overshoot during start-up or recovery from a short-circuit condition. An overvoltage comparator A11 (with 20mV hysteresis) senses when the FBX pin voltage exceeds the positive regulated voltage (1.6V) by 8% and provides a reset pulse. Similarly, an overvoltage comparator A12 (with 10mV hysteresis) senses when the FBX pin voltage exceeds the negative regulated voltage (-0.8V) by 11% and provides a reset pulse. Both reset pulses are sent to the main RS latch (SR1) through G6 and G5. The power MOSFET switch M1 is actively held off for the duration of an output overvoltage condition. Programming Turn-On and Turn-Off Thresholds with the SHDN/UVLO Pin The SHDN/UVLO pin controls whether the LT3758 is enabled or is in shutdown state. A micropower 1.22V reference, a comparator A10 and a controllable current source IS1 allow the user to accurately program the supply voltage at which the IC turns on and off. The falling value can be accurately set by the resistor dividers R3 and R4. When SHDN/UVLO is above 0.4V, and below the 1.22V threshold, the small pull-down current source IS1 (typical 2A) is active. The purpose of this current is to allow the user to program the rising hysteresis. The Block Diagram of the comparator and the external resistors is shown in Figure 1. The typical falling threshold voltage and rising threshold voltage can be calculated by the following equations: (R3+R4) R4 VVIN,RISING = 2A *R3+ VIN,FALLING VVIN,FALLING =1.22 * For applications where the SHDN/UVLO pin is only used as a logic input, the SHDN/UVLO pin can be connected directly to the input voltage VIN through a 1k resistor for always-on operation. 3758afe For more information www.linear.com/LT3758 LT3758/LT3758A Applications Information INTVCC Regulator Bypassing and Operation QG = power MOSFET total gate charge An internal, low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator produces the 7.2V INTVCC supply which powers the gate driver, as shown in Figure 1. The LT3758 contains an undervoltage lockout comparator A8 and an overvoltage lockout comparator A9 for the INTVCC supply. The INTVCC undervoltage (UV) threshold is 4.5V (typical), with 0.5V hysteresis, to ensure that the MOSFETs have sufficient gate drive voltage before turning on. The logic circuitry within the LT3758 is also powered from the internal INTVCC supply. The LT3758 uses packages with an Exposed Pad for enhanced thermal conduction. With proper soldering to the Exposed Pad on the underside of the package and a full copper plane underneath the device, thermal resistance (JA) will be about 43C/W for the DD package and 40C/W for the MSE package. For an ambient board temperature of TA = 70C and maximum junction temperature of 125C, the maximum IDRIVE (IDRIVE(MAX)) of the DD package can be calculated as: The INTVCC overvoltage threshold is set to be 17.5V (typical) to protect the gate of the power MOSFET. When INTVCC is below the UV threshold, or above the overvoltage threshold, the GATE pin will be forced to GND and the soft-start operation will be triggered. The INTVCC regulator must be bypassed to ground immediately adjacent to the IC pins with a minimum of 4.7F ceramic capacitor. Good bypassing is necessary to supply the high transient currents required by the MOSFET gate driver. In an actual application, most of the IC supply current is used to drive the gate capacitance of the power MOSFET. The on-chip power dissipation can be a significant concern when a large power MOSFET is being driven at a high frequency and the VIN voltage is high. It is important to limit the power dissipation through selection of MOSFET and/or operating frequency so the LT3758 does not exceed its maximum junction temperature rating. The junction temperature TJ can be estimated using the following equations: TA = ambient temperature Based on the preceding equation and the INTVCC Minimum Output Current vs VIN graph, the user can calculate the maximum MOSFET gate charge the LT3758 can drive at a given VIN and switch frequency. A plot of the maximum QG vs VIN at different frequencies to guarantee a minimum 4.7V INTVCC is shown in Figure 2. 140 300kHz 120 100 80 60 JA = junction-to-ambient thermal resistance 40 PIC = IC power consumption 20 0 = VIN * (IQ + IDRIVE) 1MHz 1 10 VIN (V) IQ = VIN operation IQ = 1.6mA IDRIVE = average gate drive current = f * QG f = switching frequency (TJ -TA ) 1.28W -IQ = -1.6mA ( JA * VIN ) VIN The LT3758 has an internal INTVCC IDRIVE current limit function to protect the IC from excessive on-chip power dissipation. The IDRIVE current limit decreases as the VIN increases (see the INTVCC Minimum Output Current vs VIN graph in the Typical Performance Characteristics section). If IDRIVE reaches the current limit, INTVCC voltage will fall and may trigger the soft-start. QG (nC) TJ = TA + PIC * JA IDRIVE(MAX) = 100 3758 F02 Figure 2. Recommended Maximum QG vs VIN at Different Frequencies to Ensure INTVCC Higher Than 4.7V 3758afe For more information www.linear.com/LT3758 11 LT3758/LT3758A Applications Information As illustrated in Figure 2, a trade-off between the operating frequency and the size of the power MOSFET may be needed in order to maintain a reliable IC junction temperature. Prior to lowering the operating frequency, however, be sure to check with power MOSFET manufacturers for their most recent low QG, low RDS(ON) devices. Power MOSFET manufacturing technologies are continually improving, with newer and better performance devices being introduced almost yearly. An effective approach to reduce the power consumption of the internal LDO for gate drive is to tie the INTVCC pin to an external voltage source high enough to turn off the internal LDO regulator. If the input voltage VIN does not exceed the absolute maximum rating of both the power MOSFET gate-source voltage (VGS) and the INTVCC overvoltage lockout threshold voltage (17.5V), the INTVCC pin can be shorted directly to the VIN pin. In this condition, the internal LDO will be turned off and the gate driver will be powered directly from the input voltage VIN . With the INTVCC pin shorted to VIN, however, a small current (around 16A) will load the INTVCC in shutdown mode. For applications that require the lowest shutdown mode input supply current, do not connect the INTVCC pin to VIN . A resistor RVCC can be connected, as shown in Figure 3, to limit the inrush current from VOUT. Regardless of whether or not the INTVCC pin is connected to an external voltage source, it is always necessary to have the driver circuitry bypassed with a 4.7F low ESR ceramic capacitor to ground immediately adjacent to the INTVCC and GND pins. Operating Frequency and Synchronization The choice of operating frequency may be determined by on-chip power dissipation, otherwise it is a trade-off between efficiency and component size. Low frequency operation improves efficiency by reducing gate drive current and MOSFET and diode switching losses. However, lower frequency operation requires a physically larger inductor. Switching frequency also has implications for loop compensation. The LT3758 uses a constantfrequency architecture that can be programmed over a 100kHz to 1000kHz range with a single external resistor from the RT pin to ground, as shown in Figure 1. The RT pin must have an external resistor to GND for proper operation of the LT3758. A table for selecting the value of RT for a given operating frequency is shown in Table 1. Table 1. Timing Resistor (RT ) Value SWITCHING FREQUENCY (kHz) RT (k) 100 140 200 63.4 300 41.2 400 30.9 500 24.3 600 19.6 700 16.5 800 14 900 12.1 1000 10.5 In SEPIC or flyback applications, the INTVCC pin can be connected to the output voltage VOUT through a blocking diode, as shown in Figure 3, if VOUT meets the following conditions: 1. VOUT < VIN (pin voltage) 2. VOUT < 17.5V 3. VOUT < maximum VGS rating of power MOSFET LT3758 DVCC INTVCC RVCC VOUT CVCC 4.7F GND 3758 F03 Figure 3. Connecting INTVCC to VOUT 12 The operating frequency of the LT3758 can be synchronized to an external clock source. By providing a digital clock signal into the SYNC pin, the LT3758 will operate at the SYNC clock frequency. If this feature is used, an RT resistor should be chosen to program a switching frequency 20% slower than SYNC pulse frequency. It is recommended the SYNC pulse have a minimum pulse width of 200ns. Tie the SYNC pin to GND if this feature is not used. 3758afe For more information www.linear.com/LT3758 LT3758/LT3758A Applications Information Duty Cycle Consideration Soft-Start Switching duty cycle is a key variable defining converter operation. As such, its limits must be considered. Minimum on-time is the smallest time duration that the LT3758 is capable of turning on the power MOSFET. This time is generally about 220ns (typical) (see Minimum On-Time in the Electrical Characteristics table). In each switching cycle, the LT3758 keeps the power switch off for at least 220ns (typical) (see Minimum Off-Time in the Electrical Characteristics table). The LT3758 contains several features to limit peak switch currents and output voltage (VOUT) overshoot during start-up or recovery from a fault condition. The primary purpose of these features is to prevent damage to external components or the load. The minimum on-time and minimum off-time and the switching frequency define the minimum and maximum switching duty cycles a converter is able to generate: Minimum duty cycle = minimum on-time * frequency Maximum duty cycle = 1 - (minimum off-time * frequency) Programming the Output Voltage The output voltage VOUT is set by a resistor divider, as shown in Figure 1. The positive and negative VOUT are set by the following equations: R2 VOUT,POSITIVE =1.6V * 1+ R1 R2 VOUT,NEGATIVE = -0.8V * 1+ R1 High peak switch currents during start-up may occur in switching regulators. Since VOUT is far from its final value, the feedback loop is saturated and the regulator tries to charge the output capacitor as quickly as possible, resulting in large peak currents. A large surge current may cause inductor saturation or power switch failure. The LT3758 addresses this mechanism with the SS pin. As shown in Figure 1, the SS pin reduces the power MOSFET current by pulling down the VC pin through Q2. In this way the SS allows the output capacitor to charge gradually toward its final value while limiting the start-up peak currents. The typical start-up waveforms are shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. The inductor current IL slewing rate is limited by the softstart function. Besides start-up (with SHDN/UVLO), soft-start can also be triggered by the following faults: 1. INTVCC > 17.5V The resistors R1 and R2 are typically chosen so that the error caused by the current flowing into the FBX pin during normal operation is less than 1% (this translates to a maximum value of R1 at about 158k). In the applications where VOUT is pulled up by an external positive power supply, the FBX pin is also pulled up through the R2 and R1 network. Make sure the FBX does not exceed its absolute maximum rating (6V). The R5, D2, and D3 in Figure 1 provide a resistive clamp in the positive direction. To ensure FBX is lower than 6V, choose sufficiently large R1 and R2 to meet the following condition: R2 R2 6V * 1+ + 3.5V * > VOUT(MAX) R1 8k 2. INTVCC < 4.5V 3. Thermal lockout Any of these three faults will cause the LT3758 to stop switching immediately. The SS pin will be discharged by Q3. When all faults are cleared and the SS pin has been discharged below 0.2V, a 10A current source IS2 starts charging the SS pin, initiating a soft-start operation. The soft-start interval is set by the soft-start capacitor selection according to the equation: TSS = CSS * 1.25V 10A where VOUT(MAX) is the maximum VOUT that is pulled up by an external power supply. 3758afe For more information www.linear.com/LT3758 13 LT3758/LT3758A Applications Information FBX Frequency Foldback When VOUT is very low during start-up or a GND fault on the output, the switching regulator must operate at low duty cycles to maintain the power switch current within the current limit range, since the inductor current decay rate is very low during switch off time. The minimum on-time limitation may prevent the switcher from attaining a sufficiently low duty cycle at the programmed switching frequency. So, the switch current will keep increasing through each switch cycle, exceeding the programmed current limit. To prevent the switch peak currents from exceeding the programmed value, the LT3758 contains a frequency foldback function to reduce the switching frequency when the FBX voltage is low (see the Normalized Switching Frequency vs FBX graph in the Typical Performance Characteristics section). During frequency foldback, external clock synchronization is disabled to prevent interference with frequency reducing operation. Thermal Lockout If LT3758 die temperature reaches 165C (typical), the part will go into thermal lockout. The power switch will be turned off. A soft-start operation will be triggered. The part will be enabled again when the die temperature has dropped by 5C (nominal). Loop Compensation Loop compensation determines the stability and transient performance. The LT3758/LT3758A use current mode control to regulate the output which simplifies loop compensation. The LT3758A improves the no-load to heavy load transient response, when compared to the LT3758. New internal circuits ensure that the transient from not switching to switching at high current can be made in a few cycles. The optimum values depend on the converter topology, the component values and the operating conditions (including the input voltage, load current, etc.). To compensate the feedback loop of the LT3758/ LT3758A, a series resistor-capacitor network is usually connected from the VC pin to GND. Figure 1 shows the typical VC compensation network. For most applications, the capacitor should be in the range of 470pF to 22nF, and the resistor should be in the range of 5k to 50k. A small capacitor is often connected in parallel with the RC compensation network to attenuate the VC voltage ripple induced from the output voltage ripple through the internal error amplifier. The parallel capacitor usually ranges in value from 10pF to 100pF. A practical approach to design the compensation network is to start with one of the circuits in this data sheet that is similar to your application, and tune the compensation network to optimize the performance. Stability should then be checked across all operating conditions, including load current, input voltage and temperature. SENSE Pin Programming For control and protection, the LT3758 measures the power MOSFET current by using a sense resistor (RSENSE) between GND and the MOSFET source. Figure 4 shows a typical waveform of the sense voltage (VSENSE) across the sense resistor. It is important to use Kelvin traces between the SENSE pin and RSENSE, and to place the IC GND as close as possible to the GND terminal of the RSENSE for proper operation. VSENSE VSENSE = * VSENSE(MAX) VSENSE(MAX) VSENSE(PEAK) t DTS TS 3758 F04 Figure 4. The Sense Voltage During a Switching Cycle 14 3758afe For more information www.linear.com/LT3758 LT3758/LT3758A Applications Information Due to the current limit function of the SENSE pin, RSENSE should be selected to guarantee that the peak current sense voltage VSENSE(PEAK) during steady state normal operation is lower than the SENSE current limit threshold (see the Electrical Characteristics table). Given a 20% margin, VSENSE(PEAK) is set to be 80mV. Then, the maximum switch ripple current percentage can be calculated using the following equation: c= VSENSE 80mV -0.5 * VSENSE c is used in subsequent design examples to calculate inductor value. VSENSE is the ripple voltage across RSENSE. The LT3758 switching controller incorporates 100ns timing interval to blank the ringing on the current sense signal immediately after M1 is turned on. This ringing is caused by the parasitic inductance and capacitance of the PCB trace, the sense resistor, the diode, and the MOSFET. The 100ns timing interval is adequate for most of the LT3758 applications. In the applications that have very large and long ringing on the current sense signal, a small RC filter can be added to filter out the excess ringing. Figure 5 shows the RC filter on the SENSE pin. It is usually sufficient to choose 22 for RFLT and 2.2nF to 10nF for CFLT. Keep RFLT's resistance low. Remember that there is 65A (typical) flowing out of the SENSE pin. Adding RFLT will affect the SENSE current limit threshold: VSENSE_ILIM = 110mV - 65A * RFLT LT3758 CFLT Boost Converter: Switch Duty Cycle and Frequency The LT3758 can be configured as a boost converter for the applications where the converter output voltage is higher than the input voltage. Remember that boost converters are not short-circuit protected. Under a shorted output condition, the inductor current is limited only by the input supply capability. For applications requiring a step-up converter that is short-circuit protected, please refer to the Applications Information section covering SEPIC converters. The conversion ratio as a function of duty cycle is: VOUT 1 = VIN 1-D in continuous conduction mode (CCM). For a boost converter operating in CCM, the duty cycle of the main switch can be calculated based on the output voltage (VOUT) and the input voltage (VIN). The maximum duty cycle (DMAX) occurs when the converter has the minimum input voltage: DMAX = VOUT - VIN(MIN) VOUT Boost Converter: Inductor and Sense Resistor Selection RFLT SENSE GND The LT3758 can be configured as different topologies. The first topology to be analyzed will be the boost converter, followed by the flyback, SEPIC and inverting converters. Discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) provides higher conversion ratios at a given frequency at the cost of reduced efficiencies and higher switching currents. M1 GATE Application Circuits RSENSE 3758 F05 For the boost topology, the maximum average inductor current is: IL(MAX) = IO(MAX) * Figure 5. The RC Filter on the SENSE Pin 1 1-DMAX Then, the ripple current can be calculated by: IL = c *IL(MAX) = c *IO(MAX) * 1 1-DMAX 3758afe For more information www.linear.com/LT3758 15 LT3758/LT3758A Applications Information The constant c in the preceding equation represents the percentage peak-to-peak ripple current in the inductor, relative to IL(MAX). The inductor ripple current has a direct effect on the choice of the inductor value. Choosing smaller values of IL requires large inductances and reduces the current loop gain (the converter will approach voltage mode). Accepting larger values of IL provides fast transient response and allows the use of low inductances, but results in higher input current ripple, greater core losses, and in some cases, subharmonic oscillation. A good starting point for c is 0.2 and careful evaluation of system stability should be made to ensure adequate design margin. Given an operating input voltage range, and having chosen the operating frequency and ripple current in the inductor, the inductor value of the boost converter can be determined using the following equation: L= VIN(MIN) IL * f *DMAX The peak and RMS inductor current are: c2 12 Set the sense voltage at IL(PEAK) to be the minimum of the SENSE current limit threshold with a 20% margin. The sense resistor value can then be calculated to be: 80mV IL(PEAK) Boost Converter: Power MOSFET Selection Important parameters for the power MOSFET include the drain-source voltage rating (VDS), the threshold voltage 16 The power dissipated by the MOSFET in a boost converter is: PFET = I2L(MAX) * RDS(ON) * DMAX + 2 * V2OUT * IL(MAX) * CRSS * f/1A The first term in the preceding equation represents the conduction losses in the device, and the second term, the switching loss. CRSS is the reverse transfer capacitance, which is usually specified in the MOSFET characteristics. For maximum efficiency, RDS(ON) and CRSS should be minimized. From a known power dissipated in the power MOSFET, its junction temperature can be obtained using the following equation: TJ must not exceed the MOSFET maximum junction temperature rating. It is recommended to measure the MOSFET temperature in steady state to ensure that absolute maximum ratings are not exceeded. Based on these equations, the user should choose the inductors having sufficient saturation and RMS current ratings. RSENSE = The power MOSFET will see full output voltage, plus a diode forward voltage, and any additional ringing across its drain-to-source during its off-time. It is recommended to choose a MOSFET whose BVDSS is higher than VOUT by a safety margin (a 10V safety margin is usually sufficient). TJ = TA + PFET * JA = TA + PFET * (JC + CA) c IL(PEAK) = IL(MAX) * 1+ 2 IL(RMS) =IL(MAX) * 1+ (VGS(TH)), the on-resistance (RDS(ON)), the gate to source and gate to drain charges (QGS and QGD), the maximum drain current (ID(MAX)) and the MOSFET's thermal resistances (RJC and RJA). Boost Converter: Output Diode Selection To maximize efficiency, a fast switching diode with low forward drop and low reverse leakage is desirable. The peak reverse voltage that the diode must withstand is equal to the regulator output voltage plus any additional ringing across its anode-to-cathode during the on-time. The average forward current in normal operation is equal to the output current, and the peak current is equal to: c ID(PEAK) =IL(PEAK) = 1+ *IL(MAX) 2 It is recommended that the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating VRRM is higher than VOUT by a safety margin (a 10V safety margin is usually sufficient). 3758afe For more information www.linear.com/LT3758 LT3758/LT3758A Applications Information The power dissipated by the diode is: For the bulk C component, which also contributes 1% to the total ripple: PD = IO(MAX) * VD and the diode junction temperature is: COUT TJ = TA + PD * RJA The RJA to be used in this equation normally includes the RJC for the device plus the thermal resistance from the board to the ambient temperature in the enclosure. TJ must not exceed the diode maximum junction temperature rating. Boost Converter: Output Capacitor Selection Contributions of ESR (equivalent series resistance), ESL (equivalent series inductance) and the bulk capacitance tON tOFF VCOUT VOUT (AC) VESR RINGING DUE TO TOTAL INDUCTANCE (BOARD + CAP) 3758 F06 Figure 6. The Output Ripple Waveform of a Boost Converter must be considered when choosing the correct output capacitors for a given output ripple voltage. The effect of these three parameters (ESR, ESL and bulk C) on the output voltage ripple waveform for a typical boost converter is illustrated in Figure 6. The choice of component(s) begins with the maximum acceptable ripple voltage (expressed as a percentage of the output voltage), and how this ripple should be divided between the ESR step VESR and the charging/discharging VCOUT. For the purpose of simplicity, we will choose 2% for the maximum output ripple, to be divided equally between VESR and VCOUT. This percentage ripple will change, depending on the requirements of the application, and the following equations can easily be modified. For a 1% contribution to the total ripple voltage, the ESR of the output capacitor can be determined using the following equation: ESRCOUT 0.01* VOUT ID(PEAK) IO(MAX) 0.01* VOUT * f The output capacitor in a boost regulator experiences high RMS ripple currents, as shown in Figure 6. The RMS ripple current rating of the output capacitor can be determined using the following equation: IRMS(COUT) IO(MAX) * DMAX 1-DMAX Multiple capacitors are often paralleled to meet ESR requirements. Typically, once the ESR requirement is satisfied, the capacitance is adequate for filtering and has the required RMS current rating. Additional ceramic capacitors in parallel are commonly used to reduce the effect of parasitic inductance in the output capacitor, which reduces high frequency switching noise on the converter output. Boost Converter: Input Capacitor Selection The input capacitor of a boost converter is less critical than the output capacitor, due to the fact that the inductor is in series with the input, and the input current waveform is continuous. The input voltage source impedance determines the size of the input capacitor, which is typically in the range of 10F to 100F. A low ESR capacitor is recommended, although it is not as critical as for the output capacitor. The RMS input capacitor ripple current for a boost converter is: IRMS(CIN) = 0.3 * IL Flyback Converter Applications The LT3758 can be configured as a flyback converter for the applications where the converters have multiple outputs, high output voltages or isolated outputs. Figure 7 shows a simplified flyback converter. The flyback converter has a very low parts count for multiple outputs, and with prudent selection of turns ratio, can have high output/input voltage conversion ratios with 3758afe For more information www.linear.com/LT3758 17 LT3758/LT3758A Applications Information a desirable duty cycle. However, it has low efficiency due to the high peak currents, high peak voltages and consequent power loss. The flyback converter is commonly used for an output power of less than 50W. VDS The flyback converter can be designed to operate either in continuous or discontinuous mode. Compared to continuous mode, discontinuous mode has the advantage of smaller transformer inductances and easy loop compensation, and the disadvantage of higher peak-to-average current and lower efficiency.

A Simplified Flyback Converter Flyback Converter: Switch Duty Cycle and Turns Ratio The flyback converter conversion ratio in the continuous mode operation is: VOUT NS D = * VIN NP 1-D Where NS/NP is the second to primary turns ratio. Figure 8 shows the waveforms of the flyback converter in discontinuous mode operation. During each switching period TS, three subintervals occur: DTS, D2TS, D3TS. During DTS, M is on, and D is reverse-biased. During D2TS, M is off, and LS is conducting current. Both LP and LS currents are zero during D3TS. The flyback converter conversion ratio in the discontinuous mode operation is: t D3TS 3758 F08 Figure 8.

The selections of the duty cycle and the turns ratio are somewhat iterative processes, due to the number of variables involved. The user can choose either a duty cycle or a turns ratio as the start point. The following trade-offs should be considered when selecting the switch duty cycle or turns ratio, to optimize the converter performance. A higher duty cycle affects the flyback converter in the following aspects: * Lower MOSFET RMS current ISW(RMS), but higher MOSFET VDS peak voltage * Lower diode peak reverse voltage, but higher diode RMS current ID(RMS) * Higher transformer turns ratio (NP/NS) The choice, D 1 = D+D2 3 (for discontinuous mode operation with a given D3) gives the power MOSFET the lowest power stress (the product of RMS current and peak voltage). The choice, D 2 = D+D2 3 (for discontinuous mode operation with a given D3) gives the diode the lowest power stress (the product of 3758afe For more information www.linear.com/LT3758 LT3758/LT3758A Applications Information RMS current and peak voltage). An extreme high or low duty cycle results in high power stress on the MOSFET or diode, and reduces efficiency. It is recommended to choose a duty cycle between 20% and 80%. Flyback Converter: Transformer Design for Discontinuous Mode Operation The transformer design for discontinuous mode of operation is chosen as presented here. According to Figure 8, the minimum D3 (D3MIN) occurs when the the converter has the minimum VIN and the maximum output power (POUT). Choose D3MIN to be equal to or higher than 10% to guarantee the converter is always in discontinuous mode operation. Choosing higher D3 allows the use of low inductances but results in higher switch peak current. The user can choose a DMAX as the start point. Then, the maximum average primary currents can be calculated by the following equation: ILP(MAX) =ISW(MAX) = POUT(MAX) DMAX * VIN(MIN) * h where h is the converter efficiency. If the flyback converter has multiple outputs, POUT(MAX) is the sum of all the output power. The maximum average secondary current is: ILS(MAX) = ID(MAX) = where IOUT(MAX) D2 D2 = 1 - DMAX - D3 the primary and secondary RMS currents are: D ILP(RMS) = 2 *ILP(MAX) * MAX 3 D2 ILS(RMS) = 2 *ILS(MAX) * 3 According to Figure 8, the primary and secondary peak currents are: ILP(PEAK) = ISW(PEAK) = 2 * ILP(MAX) ILS(PEAK) = ID(PEAK) = 2 * ILS(MAX) The primary and second inductor values of the flyback converter transformer can be determined using the following equations: LP = LS = D2 * V2 MAX IN(MIN) * h 2 *POUT(MAX) * f D22 *(VOUT + VD) 2 *IOUT(MAX) * f The primary to second turns ratio is: NP L = P NS LS Flyback Converter: Snubber Design Transformer leakage inductance (on either the primary or secondary) causes a voltage spike to occur after the MOSFET turn-off. This is increasingly prominent at higher load currents, where more stored energy must be dissipated. In some cases a snubber circuit will be required to avoid overvoltage breakdown at the MOSFET's drain node. There are different snubber circuits, and Application Note 19 is a good reference on snubber design. An RCD snubber is shown in Figure 7. The snubber resistor value (RSN) can be calculated by the following equation: V2 RSN = 2 * SN - VSN * VOUT * I2 SW(PEAK) *L LK NP NS *f where VSN is the snubber capacitor voltage. A smaller VSN results in a larger snubber loss. A reasonable VSN is 2 to 2.5 times of: VOUT *NP NS 3758afe For more information www.linear.com/LT3758 19 LT3758/LT3758A Applications Information LLK is the leakage inductance of the primary winding, which is usually specified in the transformer characteristics. LLK can be obtained by measuring the primary inductance with the secondary windings shorted. The snubber capacitor value (CCN) can be determined using the following equation: CCN = VSN VSN *RCN * f where VSN is the voltage ripple across CCN. A reasonable VSN is 5% to 10% of VSN. The reverse voltage rating of DSN should be higher than the sum of VSN and VIN(MAX). Flyback Converter: Sense Resistor Selection In a flyback converter, when the power switch is turned on, the current flowing through the sense resistor (ISENSE) is: ISENSE = ILP Set the sense voltage at ILP(PEAK) to be the minimum of the SENSE current limit threshold with a 20% margin. The sense resistor value can then be calculated to be: RSENSE = 80mV TJ = TA + PFET * JA = TA + PFET * (JC + CA) TJ must not exceed the MOSFET maximum junction temperature rating. It is recommended to measure the MOSFET temperature in steady state to ensure that absolute maximum ratings are not exceeded. Flyback Converter: Output Diode Selection The output diode in a flyback converter is subject to large RMS current and peak reverse voltage stresses. A fast switching diode with a low forward drop and a low reverse leakage is desired. Schottky diodes are recommended if the output voltage is below 100V. Approximate the required peak repetitive reverse voltage rating VRRM using: VRRM > NS * VIN(MAX) + VOUT NP The power dissipated by the diode is: ILP(PEAK) PD = IO(MAX) * VD Flyback Converter: Power MOSFET Selection For the flyback configuration, the MOSFET is selected with a VDC rating high enough to handle the maximum VIN, the reflected secondary voltage and the voltage spike due to the leakage inductance. Approximate the required MOSFET VDC rating using: BVDSS > VDS(PEAK) and the diode junction temperature is: TJ = TA + PD * RJA The RJA to be used in this equation normally includes the RJC for the device, plus the thermal resistance from the board to the ambient temperature in the enclosure. TJ must not exceed the diode maximum junction temperature rating. Flyback Converter: Output Capacitor Selection where VDS(PEAK) = VIN(MAX) + VSN The power dissipated by the MOSFET in a flyback converter is: PFET = I2M(RMS) * RDS(ON) + 2 * V2DS(PEAK) * IL(MAX) * CRSS * f/1A The first term in this equation represents the conduction losses in the device, and the second term, the switching loss. CRSS is the reverse transfer capacitance, which is usually specified in the MOSFET characteristics. 20 From a known power dissipated in the power MOSFET, its junction temperature can be obtained using the following equation: The output capacitor of the flyback converter has a similar operation condition as that of the boost converter. Refer to the Boost Converter: Output Capacitor Selection section for the calculation of COUT and ESRCOUT. The RMS ripple current rating of the output capacitors in discontinuous operation can be determined using the following equation: IRMS(COUT),DISCONTINUOUS IO(MAX) * 4-(3 *D2) 3 *D2 3758afe For more information www.linear.com/LT3758 LT3758/LT3758A Applications Information Flyback Converter: Input Capacitor Selection The input capacitor in a flyback converter is subject to a large RMS current due to the discontinuous primary current. To prevent large voltage transients, use a low ESR input capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current. The RMS ripple current rating of the input capacitors in discontinuous operation can be determined using the following equation: IRMS(CIN),DISCONTINUOUS POUT(MAX) VIN(MIN) * h * 4-(3 *DMAX ) 3 *DMAX SEPIC Converter Applications The LT3758 can be configured as a SEPIC (single-ended primary inductance converter), as shown in Figure 1. This topology allows for the input to be higher, equal, or lower than the desired output voltage. The conversion ratio as a function of duty cycle is: VOUT + VD D = VIN 1-D in continuous conduction mode (CCM). In a SEPIC converter, no DC path exists between the input and output. This is an advantage over the boost converter for applications requiring the output to be disconnected from the input source when the circuit is in shutdown. Compared to the flyback converter, the SEPIC converter has the advantage that both the power MOSFET and the output diode voltages are clamped by the capacitors (CIN, CDC and COUT), therefore, there is less voltage ringing across the power MOSFET and the output diodes. The SEPIC converter requires much smaller input capacitors than those of the flyback converter. This is due to the fact that, in the SEPIC converter, the inductor L1 is in series with the input, and the ripple current flowing through the input capacitor is continuous. SEPIC Converter: Switch Duty Cycle and Frequency For a SEPIC converter operating in CCM, the duty cycle of the main switch can be calculated based on the output voltage (VOUT), the input voltage (VIN) and the diode forward voltage (VD). The maximum duty cycle (DMAX) occurs when the converter has the minimum input voltage: DMAX = VOUT + VD VIN(MIN) + VOUT + VD SEPIC Converter: Inductor and Sense Resistor Selection As shown in Figure 1, the SEPIC converter contains two inductors: L1 and L2. L1 and L2 can be independent, but can also be wound on the same core, since identical voltages are applied to L1 and L2 throughout the switching cycle. For the SEPIC topology, the current through L1 is the converter input current. Based on the fact that, ideally, the output power is equal to the input power, the maximum average inductor currents of L1 and L2 are: IL1(MAX) =IIN(MAX) =IO(MAX) * DMAX 1-DMAX IL2(MAX) =IO(MAX) In a SEPIC converter, the switch current is equal to IL1 + IL2 when the power switch is on, therefore, the maximum average switch current is defined as: ISW(MAX) =IL1(MAX) +IL2(MAX) =IO(MAX) * 1 1-DMAX and the peak switch current is: c 1 ISW(PEAK) = 1+ *IO(MAX) * 2 1-DMAX The constant c in the preceding equations represents the percentage peak-to-peak ripple current in the switch, relative to ISW(MAX), as shown in Figure 9. Then, the switch ripple current ISW can be calculated by: ISW = c * ISW(MAX) The inductor ripple currents IL1 and IL2 are identical: IL1 = IL2 = 0.5 * ISW The inductor ripple current has a direct effect on the choice of the inductor value. Choosing smaller values of IL requires large inductances and reduces the current loop gain (the converter will approach voltage mode). 3758afe For more information www.linear.com/LT3758 21 LT3758/LT3758A Applications Information Accepting larger values of IL allows the use of low inductances, but results in higher input current ripple, greater core losses, and in some cases, subharmonic oscillation. A good starting point for c is 0.2 and careful evaluation of system stability should be made to ensure adequate design margin. ISW t DTS TS 3758 F09 Figure 9. The Switch Current Waveform of the SEPIC Converter Given an operating input voltage range, and having chosen the operating frequency and ripple current in the inductor, the inductor value (L1 and L2 are independent) of the SEPIC converter can be determined using the following equation: VIN(MIN) 0.5 * ISW * f *DMAX By making L1 = L2, and winding them on the same core, the value of inductance in the preceding equation is replaced by 2L, due to mutual inductance: ISW * f This maintains the same ripple current and energy storage in the inductors. The peak inductor currents are: IL1(PEAK) = IL1(MAX) + 0.5 * IL1 IL2(PEAK) = IL2(MAX) + 0.5 * IL2 The RMS inductor currents are: 22 c 2 L2 12 IL2 IL2 (MAX) Based on the preceding equations, the user should choose the inductors having sufficient saturation and RMS current ratings. In a SEPIC converter, when the power switch is turned on, the current flowing through the sense resistor (ISENSE) is the switch current. Set the sense voltage at ISENSE(PEAK) to be the minimum of the SENSE current limit threshold with a 20% margin. The sense resistor value can then be calculated to be: 80 mV ISW(PEAK) SEPIC Converter: Power MOSFET Selection For the SEPIC configuration, choose a MOSFET with a VDC rating higher than the sum of the output voltage and input voltage by a safety margin (a 10V safety margin is usually sufficient). The power dissipated by the MOSFET in a SEPIC converter is: *DMAX IL1(RMS) =IL1(MAX) * 1+ IL1(MAX) RSENSE = For most SEPIC applications, the equal inductor values will fall in the range of 1H to 100H. VIN(MIN) IL1 IL2(RMS) =IL2(MAX) * 1+ cL2 = ISW(MAX) L= cL1 = where ISW = * ISW(MAX) L1=L2 = where c 2 L1 12 PFET = I2SW(MAX) * RDS(ON) * DMAX + 2 * (VIN(MIN) + VOUT)2 * IL(MAX) * CRSS * f/1A The first term in this equation represents the conduction losses in the device, and the second term, the switching loss. CRSS is the reverse transfer capacitance, which is usually specified in the MOSFET characteristics. For maximum efficiency, RDS(ON) and CRSS should be minimized. From a known power dissipated in the power 3758afe For more information www.linear.com/LT3758 LT3758/LT3758A Applications Information MOSFET, its junction temperature can be obtained using the following equation: TJ = TA + PFET * JA = TA + PFET * (JC + CA) TJ must not exceed the MOSFET maximum junction temperature rating. It is recommended to measure the MOSFET temperature in steady state to ensure that absolute maximum ratings are not exceeded. SEPIC Converter: Output Diode Selection To maximize efficiency, a fast switching diode with a low forward drop and low reverse leakage is desirable. The average forward current in normal operation is equal to the output current, and the peak current is equal to: c 1 ID(PEAK) = 1+ *IO(MAX) * 2 1-DMAX It is recommended that the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating VRRM is higher than VOUT + VIN(MAX) by a safety margin (a 10V safety margin is usually sufficient). The power dissipated by the diode is: CDC has nearly a rectangular current waveform. During the switch off-time, the current through CDC is IIN, while approximately -IO flows during the on-time. The RMS rating of the coupling capacitor is determined by the following equation: IRMS(CDC) >IO(MAX) * A low ESR and ESL, X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor works well for CDC. Inverting Converter Applications The LT3758 can be configured as a dual-inductor inverting topology, as shown in Figure 10. The VOUT to VIN ratio is: VOUT - VD D =- VIN 1-D in continuous conduction mode (CCM). L1 VIN PD = IO(MAX) * VD VOUT + VD VIN(MIN) + CDC + L2 - - CIN and the diode junction temperature is: COUT LT3758 TJ = TA + PD * RJA GATE The RJA used in this equation normally includes the RJC for the device, plus the thermal resistance from the board, to the ambient temperature in the enclosure. TJ must not exceed the diode maximum junction temperature rating. SEPIC Converter: Output and Input Capacitor Selection The selections of the output and input capacitors of the SEPIC converter are similar to those of the boost converter. Please refer to the Boost Converter: Output Capacitor Selection and Boost Converter: Input Capacitor Selection sections. SEPIC Converter: Selecting the DC Coupling Capacitor The DC voltage rating of the DC coupling capacitor (CDC, as shown in Figure 1) should be larger than the maximum input voltage: M1 VOUT + D1 SENSE RSENSE GND + 3758 F10 Figure 10. A Simplified Inverting Converter Inverting Converter: Switch Duty Cycle and Frequency For an inverting converter operating in CCM, the duty cycle of the main switch can be calculated based on the negative output voltage (VOUT) and the input voltage (VIN). The maximum duty cycle (DMAX) occurs when the converter has the minimum input voltage: DMAX = VOUT - VD VOUT - VD - VIN(MIN) VCDC > VIN(MAX) 3758afe For more information www.linear.com/LT3758 23 LT3758/LT3758A Applications Information Inverting Converter: Inductor, Sense Resistor, Power MOSFET, Output Diode and Input Capacitor Selections The selections of the inductor, sense resistor, power MOSFET, output diode and input capacitor of an inverting converter are similar to those of the SEPIC converter. Please refer to the corresponding SEPIC converter sections. Inverting Converter: Output Capacitor Selection The inverting converter requires much smaller output capacitors than those of the boost, flyback and SEPIC converters for similar output ripples. This is due to the fact that, in the inverting converter, the inductor L2 is in series with the output, and the ripple current flowing through the output capacitors are continuous. The output ripple voltage is produced by the ripple current of L2 flowing through the ESR and bulk capacitance of the output capacitor: 1 VOUT(P - P) = IL2 * ESRCOUT + 8 * f *COUT After specifying the maximum output ripple, the user can select the output capacitors according to the preceding equation. The ESR can be minimized by using high quality X5R or X7R dielectric ceramic capacitors. In many applications, ceramic capacitors are sufficient to limit the output voltage ripple. The RMS ripple current rating of the output capacitor needs to be greater than: IRMS(COUT) > 0.3 * IL2 Inverting Converter: Selecting the DC Coupling Capacitor The DC voltage rating of the DC coupling capacitor (CDC, as shown in Figure 10) should be larger than the maximum input voltage minus the output voltage (negative voltage): VCDC > VIN(MAX) - VOUT 24 CDC has nearly a rectangular current waveform. During the switch off-time, the current through CDC is IIN, while approximately -IO flows during the on-time. The RMS rating of the coupling capacitor is determined by the following equation: IRMS(CDC) >IO(MAX) * DMAX 1-DMAX A low ESR and ESL, X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor works well for CDC. Board Layout The high speed operation of the LT3758 demands careful attention to board layout and component placement. The Exposed Pad of the package is the only GND terminal of the IC, and is important for thermal management of the IC. Therefore, it is crucial to achieve a good electrical and thermal contact between the Exposed Pad and the ground plane of the board. For the LT3758 to deliver its full output power, it is imperative that a good thermal path be provided to dissipate the heat generated within the package. It is recommended that multiple vias in the printed circuit board be used to conduct heat away from the IC and into a copper plane with as much area as possible. To prevent radiation and high frequency resonance problems, proper layout of the components connected to the IC is essential, especially the power paths with higher di/ dt. The following high di/dt loops of different topologies should be kept as tight as possible to reduce inductive ringing: * In boost configuration, the high di/dt loop contains the output capacitor, the sensing resistor, the power MOSFET and the Schottky diode. * In flyback configuration, the high di/dt primary loop contains the input capacitor, the primary winding, the power MOSFET and the sensing resistor. The high di/ dt secondary loop contains the output capacitor, the secondary winding and the output diode. * In SEPIC configuration, the high di/dt loop contains the power MOSFET, sense resistor, output capacitor, Schottky diode and the coupling capacitor. 3758afe For more information www.linear.com/LT3758 LT3758/LT3758A Applications Information * In inverting configuration, the high di/dt loop contains power MOSFET, sense resistor, Schottky diode and the coupling capacitor. The small-signal components should be placed away from high frequency switching nodes. For optimum load regulation and true remote sensing, the top of the output voltage sensing resistor divider should connect independently to the top of the output capacitor (Kelvin connection), staying away from any high dV/dt traces. Place the divider resistors near the LT3758 in order to keep the high impedance FBX node short. Check the stress on the power MOSFET by measuring its drain-to-source voltage directly across the device terminals (reference the ground of a single scope probe directly to the source pad on the PC board). Beware of inductive ringing, which can exceed the maximum specified voltage rating of the MOSFET. If this ringing cannot be avoided, and exceeds the maximum rating of the device, either choose a higher voltage device or specify an avalancherated power MOSFET.
