LTC3402
3402fa
2A, 3MHz Micropower
Synchronous Boost Converter
The LTC
3402 is a high efficiency, fixed frequency, step-
up DC/DC converter that operates from an input voltage
below 1V. The device includes a 0.16
N-channel MOSFET
switch and a 0.18
P-channel synchronous rectifier.
Switching frequencies up to 3MHz are programmed with
an external timing resistor and the oscillator can be
synchronized to an external clock. An external Schottky
diode is optional but will slightly improve efficiency.
Quiescent current is only 38
A in Burst Mode operation,
maximizing battery life in portable applications. Burst
Mode operation is user controlled and can be enabled by
driving the MODE/SYNC pin high. If the MODE/SYNC pin
has either a clock or is driven low, then fixed frequency
switching is enabled.
Other features include a 1
A shutdown, antiringing con-
trol, open-drain power good output, thermal shutdown
and current limit. The LTC3402 is available in the 10-lead
thermally enhanced MSOP package. Lower current appli-
cations should use the 1A rated LTC3401 synchronous
boost converter. Applications that require V
OUT
< 2.6V
should use the LTC3424.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: The LTC3402E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0
C to 70
C. Specifications over the 40
C to 85
C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3: Current is measured into the V
OUT
pin since the supply current is
bootstrapped to the output pin and in the application will reflect to the
input supply by (V
OUT
/V
IN
) Efficiency. The outputs are not switching.
Note 4: Once the output is started, the IC is not dependent upon the V
IN
supply.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The LTC3402 provides high efficiency, low noise power
for applications such as portable instrumentation. The
current mode architecture with adaptive slope compensa-
tion provides ease of loop compensation with excellent
transient load response. The low R
DS(ON)
, low gate charge
synchronous switches provide the pulse width modula-
tion control at high efficiency.
The Schottky diode across the synchronous PMOS switch
provides a lower drop during the break-before-make time
(typically 20ns) of the NMOS to PMOS transition. The
addition of the Schottky diode will improve efficiency (see
graph "Efficiency Loss Without Schottky vs Frequency").
While the IC's quiescent current is a low 38
A, high
efficiency is achieved at light loads when Burst Mode
operation is entered.
Low Voltage Start-Up
The LTC3402 is designed to start up at input voltages of
typically 0.85V. The device can start up under some load,
(see graph Start-Up vs Input Voltage). Once the output
voltage exceeds a threshold of 2.3V, then the IC powers
itself from V
OUT
instead of V
IN
. At this point, the internal
circuitry has no dependency on the input voltage, eliminat-
ing the requirement for a large input capacitor. The input
voltage can drop below 0.5V without affecting the opera-
tion, but the limiting factor for the application becomes the
availability of the power source to supply sufficient energy
to the output at the low voltages.
Low Noise Fixed Frequency Operation
Oscillator. The frequency of operation is set through a
resistor from the R
t
pin to ground where f = 3 10
10
/R
t
. An
internally trimmed timing capacitor resides inside the IC.
The oscillator can be synchronized with an external clock
inserted on the MODE/SYNC pin. When synchronizing the
oscillator, the free running frequency must be set to
approximately 30% lower than the desired synchronized
frequency. Keeping the sync pulse width below 2
s will
ensure that Burst Mode operation is disabled.
Current Sensing. Lossless current sensing converts the
peak current signal to a voltage to sum in with the internal
slope compensation. This summed signal is compared to
the error amplifier output to provide a peak current control
command for the PWM. The slope compensation in the IC
is adaptive to the input and output voltage. Therefore, the
converter provides the proper amount of slope compensa-
tion to ensure stability and not an excess causing a loss of
phase margin in the converter.
Error Amp. The error amplifier is a transconductance
amplifier with g
m
= 0.1ms. A simple compensation net-
work is placed from the V
C
pin to ground.
Current Limit. The current limit amplifier will shut the
NMOS switch off once the current exceeds its threshold.
The current amplifier delay to output is typically 50ns.
Zero Current Amp. The zero current amplifier monitors the
inductor current to the output and shuts off the synchro-
nous rectifier once the current is below 50mA, preventing
negative inductor current.
Antiringing Control. The anitringing control will place an
impedance across the inductor to damp the ringing on the
SW pin during discontinuous mode operation. The LC
SW
ringing (L = inductor, C
SW
= capacitance on the switch pin)
is low energy, but can cause EMI radiation.
Burst Mode Operation
Burst Mode operation is when the IC delivers energy to the
output until it is regulated and then goes into a sleep mode
where the outputs are off and the IC is consuming only
38
A. In this mode, the output ripple has a variable
frequency component with load current and the steady
state ripple will be typically below 3%.
During the period where the device is delivering energy to
the output, the peak current will be equal to 1/6 the current
limit value and the inductor current will terminate at zero
current for each cycle. In this mode the maximum output
current is given by:
I
V
V
Amps
OUT MAXBURST

OUT
(

Burst Mode operation is user controlled by driving the
MODE/SYNC pin high to enable and low to disable. It is
recommended that Burst Mode operation be entered after
the part has started up.

= Capacitor Series Resistance
Low ESR capacitors should be used to minimize output
voltage ripple. For surface mount applications, AVX TPS
series tantalum capacitors and Sanyo POSCAP or Taiyo-
Yuden ceramic X5R or X7R type capacitors are recom-
mended. For through-hole applications Sanyo OS-CON
capacitors offer low ESR in a small package size. See Table
2 for a list of component suppliers. In some layouts it may
be required to place a 1
F low ESR capacitor as close to the
V
OUT
and GND pins as possible.

For high efficiency, choose an inductor with a high fre-
quency core material, such as ferrite, to reduce core
losses. The inductor should have low ESR (equivalent
series resistance) to reduce the I
2
R losses and must be
able to handle the peak inductor current without saturat-
ing. Molded chokes or chip inductors usually do not have
enough core to support the peak inductor currents in the
1A to 2A region. To minimize radiated noise, use a toroid,
pot core or shielded bobbin inductor. See Table 1 for
suggested components and Table 1 for a list of component
suppliers.

Input Capacitor Selection
The input filter capacitor reduces peak currents drawn from
the input source and reduces input switching noise. Since
the IC can operate at voltages below 0.5V once the output
is regulated, then demand on the input capacitor is much
less and in most applications a 4.7
F is recommended.
Output Diode
For applications with output voltages over 4.3V, a Schottky
diode is required to ensure that the SW pin voltage does
not exceed its absolute maximum rating. The Schottky
diode across the synchronous PMOS switch provides a
lower drop during the break-before-make time (typically
20ns) of the NMOS to PMOS transition. The Schottky
diode improves peak efficiency (see graph "Efficiency
Loss Without Schottky vs Frequency). Use of a Schottky
diode such as a MBR0520L, 1N5817 or equivalent. Since
slow recovery times will compromise efficiency, do not
use ordinary rectifier diodes.
Operating Frequency Selection
There are several considerations in selecting the operating
frequency of the converter. The first is determining the
sensitive frequency bands that cannot tolerate any spec-
tral noise. For example, in products incorporating RF
communications, the 455kHz IF frequency is sensitive to
any noise, therefore switching above 600kHz is desired.
Some communications have sensitivity to 1.1MHz. In this
case, a 2MHz converter frequency may be employed.
The second consideration is the physical size of the
converter. As the operating frequency goes up, the induc-
tor and filter caps go down in value and size. The trade off
is in efficiency since the switching losses due to gate
charge are going up proportional with frequency. For
example in Figure 2, for a 2.4V to 3.3V converter, the
efficiency at 100mA is 5% less at 2MHz compared to
300kHz.
Another operating frequency consideration is whether the
application can allow "pulse skipping." In this mode, the
minimum on time of the converter cannot support the duty
cycle, so the converter ripple will go up and there will be
a low frequency component of the output ripple. In many

applications where physical size is the main criterion then
running the converter in this mode is acceptable. In
applications where it is preferred not to enter this mode,

Reducing Output Capacitance with a Load Feed
Forward Signal
In many applications the output filter capacitance can be
reduced for the desired transient response by having the
device commanding the change in load current, (i.e.
system microcontroller), inform the power converter of
the changes as they occur. Specifically, a "load feed
forward" signal coupled into the V
C
pin gives the inner
current loop a head start in providing the change in output
current. The transconductance of the LTC3402 converter
at the V
C
pin with respect to the inductor current is typically
170mA/100mV, so the amount of signal injected is pro-
portional to the anticipated change of inductor current
with load. The outer voltage loop performs the remainder
of the correction, but because of the load feed forward
signal, the range over which it must slew is greatly
reduced. This results in an improved transient response.
A logic level feed forward signal, V
FF
, is coupled through
components C5 and R6. The amount of feed forward

signal is attenuated with resistor R6 and is given by the

Closing the Feedback Loop
The LTC3402 used current mode control with internal
adaptive slope compensation. Current mode control elimi-
nates the 2nd order filter due to the inductor and output
capacitor exhibited in voltage mode controllers, and sim-
plifies it to a single-pole filter response. The product of the
modulator control to output DC gain plus the error amp
open-loop gain equals the DC gain of the system.
