LTC3311S  
5V, 12.5A Synchronous Step-Down  
Silent Switcher 2 in 3mm x 3mm LQFN  
FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
The LTC®3311S is a very small, low noise, monolithic  
step-down DC/DC converter capable of providing up to  
12.5A of output current from a 2.25V to 5.5V input supply.  
The device employs Silent Switcher 2 architecture with  
internal hot loop bypass capacitors to achieve both low  
EMI and high efficiency at switching frequencies as high  
as 5MHz. For systems with higher power requirements,  
multi-phasing parallel converters is readily implemented.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings  
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute  
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device  
reliability and lifetime.  
Note 2: The LTC3311SE is guaranteed to meet performance specifications from  
0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C  
operating junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization,  
and correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3311SI Is guaranteed  
over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range.  
Note 3: The LTC3311S includes overtemperature protection which  
protects the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction  
temperatures will exceed 150°C when overtemperature protection is  
active. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating  
junction temperature may impair device reliability.  
Note 4: Supply current specification does not include switching currents.  
Actual supply currents will be higher.  
VIN = 3.3V, TA = 25°C, unless otherwise noted.

PIN FUNCTIONS  
EN (Pin 1): The EN pin has a precision enable threshold  
with hysteresis. An external resistor divider, from V or  
PGOOD (Pin 14): The PGOOD pin is a power good pin and  
is the open drain output of an internal comparator. The  
PGOOD output is pulled low when VIN is above 2.25V and  
the part is in shutdown.  
IN  
from another supply, programs the threshold below which  
the LTC3311S will shut down. If the precision threshold  
is not used, directly connect the pin to V . When the EN  
IN  
RT (Pin 15): The RT pin sets the oscillator frequency  
with an external resistor to AGND or sets the phasing  
for multiphase operation. (see Multiphase Operation in  
Applications Information).  
pin is low, the LTC3311S enters a low current shutdown  
mode where all internal circuitry is disabled.  
AGND (Pin 2): The AGND pin is the output voltage remote  
ground sense. Connect the AGND pin directly to the nega-  
tive terminal of the output capacitor at the load and to the  
feedback divider resistor.  
SSTT (Pin 16): Soft-Start, Track, Temperature Monitor.  
An internal 10µA current into an external capacitor on the  
soft-start pin programs the output voltage ramp rate dur-  
ing start-up. During the soft-start cycle, the FB pin voltage  
will track the SSTT pin voltage. When the soft-start cycle  
is complete, the tracking function is disabled, the internal  
reference resumes control of the error amplifier and the  
SSTT pin servos to a voltage representative of junction  
temperature. For a clean recovery from an output short  
circuit condition, the SSTT pin is pulled down to approxi-  
VIN (Pins 3, 4, 11, 12): The VIN pins supply current to the  
internal circuitry and topside power switch. All of the V  
IN  
pins must be connected together with short, wide traces  
and bypassed to PGND with low ESR capacitors located  
as close as possible to the pins. Internal capacitors are  
included, which are connected between V and PGND  
IN  
and V and AGND.  
IN  
mately 140mV above the V voltage and a new soft-start  
FB  
PGND (Pins 5, 10, 19): The PGND pins are the return  
path of the internal bottom side power switch. Connect  
the PGND pins together and to the exposed pad. Connect  
the negative terminal of the input capacitors as close to  
the PGND pins as possible. The PGND node is the main  
thermal highway and should be connected to a large PCB  
ground plane with many large vias.  
cycle is initiated. During shutdown and fault conditions,  
the SSTT pin is pulled to ground.  
ITH (Pin 17): The ITH pin is the compensation node for  
the output voltage regulation control loop. Compensation  
components connected to this pin are referenced to AGND.  
FB (Pin 18): The output voltage feedback pin is externally  
connected to the output voltage via a resistive divider and  
is internally connected to the inverting input of the error  
amplifier. The LTC3311S regulates the FB pin to 500mV.  
SW (Pins 6–9): The SW pins are the switching outputs of  
the internal power switches. Connect these pins together  
to the inductor with short, wide traces.  
A phase lead capacitor connected between V and V  
FB  
OUT  
MODE/SYNC (Pin 13): The MODE/SYNC pin facilitates  
multiphase operation and synchronization to an external  
clock. Depending on the mode of operation, the MODE/  
SYNC pin either accepts an input clock pulse or outputs  
a clock pulse at its operating frequency. (see Multiphase  
Operation in Applications Information). The MODE/SYNC  
pin also programs the mode of operation: pulse skip or  
forced continuous.

LTC3311S  
OPERATION  
Voltage Regulation  
Synchronizing the Oscillator to an External Clock  
The LTC3311S is a monolithic, constant frequency, cur-  
rent mode step-down DC/DC converter. An oscillator turns  
on the internal top power switch at the beginning of each  
clock cycle. Current in the inductor increases until the  
top switch current comparator trips and turns off the top  
power switch. The peak inductor current at which the top  
switch turns off is controlled by the voltage on the ITH  
node. The error amplifier servos the ITH node by com-  
paring the voltage on the FB pin with an internal 500mV  
reference. When the load current increases, it causes a  
reduction in the feedback voltage relative to the reference  
leading the error amplifier to raise the ITH voltage until the  
average inductor current matches the new load current.  
When the top power switch turns off, the synchronous  
power switch turns on until the next clock cycle begins  
or, in pulse-skipping mode, inductor current falls to zero.  
If overload conditions result in excessive current flowing  
through the bottom switch, the next clock cycle will be  
delayed until switch current returns to a safe level.  
The LTC3311S’s internal oscillator is synchronized  
through an internal PLL circuit to an external frequency  
by applying a square wave clock signal to the MODE/  
SYNC pin.  
During synchronization, the top power switch turn-on is  
locked to the rising edge of the external frequency source.  
While synchronizing, the switcher operates in forced con-  
tinuous mode. The slope compensation is automatically  
adapted to the external clock frequency.  
After detecting an external clock on the first rising edge  
of the MODE/SYNC pin, the internal PLL gradually adjusts  
its operating frequency to match the frequency and phase  
of the signal on the MODE/SYNC pin. When the external  
clock is removed, the LTC3311S detects the absence of  
the external clock within approximately 20µs. During this  
time, the PLL will continue to provide clock cycles. Once  
the external clock removal has been detected, the oscilla-  
tor gradually adjusts its operating frequency back to the  
default frequency.  
The output voltage is resistively divided externally to cre-  
ate a feedback voltage for the regulator. In high current  
operation, a ground offset may be present between the  
LTC3311S local ground and ground at the load. To over-  
come this offset, AGND should have a Kelvin connec-  
tion to the load ground, and the lowest potential node of  
the resistor divider should be connected to AGND. The  
internal error amplifier senses the difference between  
this feedback voltage and a 0.5V AGND referenced volt-  
age. This scheme overcomes any ground offsets between  
local ground and remote output ground, resulting in a  
more accurate output voltage. The LTC3311S allows for  
remote output ground deviations as much as 100mV  
with respect to local ground.  
Mode Selection  
The MODE/SYNC pin either synchronizes the switch-  
ing frequency to an external clock, is a clock output, or  
sets the PWM mode. The PWM modes of operation are  
either pulse skip or forced continuous. See Table 6 in  
the Applications Information section. In pulse skip mode,  
switching cycles are skipped at light loads to regulate the  
output voltage. During forced continuous mode, the top  
switch turns on every cycle and light load regulation is  
achieved by allowing negative inductor current.  
Output Power Good  
Comparators monitoring the FB pin voltage pull the  
PGOOD pin low if the output voltage varies from the  
nominal set point or if a fault condition is present. The  
comparator includes voltage hysteresis. A time delay to  
report PGOOD is used to filter short duration output volt-  
age transients.  
If the EN pin is low, the LTC3311S is shut down and in a  
low quiescent current state. When the EN pin is above its  
threshold, the switching regulator will be enabled.  
The S in LTC3311S refers to the second generation Silent  
Switcher technology. This technology allows fast switch-  
ing edges for high efficiency at high switching frequen-  
cies, while simultaneously achieving optimized EMI per-  
formance. Ceramic capacitors on V keep all the fast AC  
IN  
current loops small, improving EMI performance.

Output Short-Circuit Protection and Recovery  
The soft-start tracking function facilitates supply sequenc-  
The peak inductor current level, at which the current com-  
parator shuts off the top power switch, is controlled by the  
voltage on the ITH pin. If the output current increases, the  
error amplifier raises the ITH pin voltage until the average  
inductor current matches the load current. The LTC3311S  
clamps the maximum ITH pin voltage, thereby limiting the  
peak inductor current.

parks itself at a voltage representative of the LTC3311S

during shutdown, V UVLO and thermal shutdown. See

Application section.  
When the output is shorted to ground, the inductor cur-  
rent decays very slowly during a single switching cycle  
because the voltage across the inductor is low. To keep  
the inductor current in control, a secondary limit is  
imposed on the valley of the inductor current. If the induc-  
tor current measured through the bottom power switch  
Dropout Operation  
As the input supply voltage approaches the output volt-  
age, the duty cycle increases. Further reduction of the  
supply voltage forces the main switch to remain on for  
more than one cycle, eventually reaching 100% duty  
cycle. The output voltage will then be determined by the  
input voltage minus the DC voltage drop across the inter-  
nal main P-channel MOSFET and the inductor.

be held off. Subsequent switching cycles will be skipped  
until the inductor current is reduced below I  
.
VALLEY(MAX)  
In many designs when the input voltage approaches the  
output voltage, the amplitude of the output ripple volt-  
age increases from its normally low value. To avoid any  
increase in output ripple voltage under these conditions,  
it is recommended to utilize a resistor divider on the EN  
input and limit the VIN turn-on and turn-off thresholds  
to where the output ripple voltage is acceptable for the  
given application.  
Recovery from an output short circuit goes through a  
soft-start cycle. When V  
goes below regulation, as  
defined by the PGOOD tOhUreTshold, the SSTT voltage is  
pulled to a voltage just above the FB voltage. Because  
the SSTT pin is pulled low, a soft-start cycle is initiated  
once the output short is removed.  
Low Supply Operation  
The LTC3311S is designed to operate down to an input  
supply voltage of 2.25V. An important thermal design  
consideration is that the R

The advantage of high frequency operation is that smaller  
inductor and capacitor values may be used. Higher  
switching frequencies allow for higher control loop  
bandwidth and, therefore, faster transient response. The  
disadvantages of higher switching frequencies are lower  
efficiency, because of increased switching losses, and a  
smaller input voltage range, because of minimum switch  
on-time limitations.

To keep the efficiency high, choose an inductor with the

2MHz default frequency. The LTC3311S operates in forced  
continuous mode when synchronized to an external clock.  
The LTC3311S limits the peak switch current in order  
to protect the switches and the system from overload  
faults. The inductor value must then be sufficiently large

Considerations in choosing an inductor are inductance,

core loss.  
Therefore, the maximum output current that the LTC3311S  
will deliver depends on the switch current limit, the induc-  
tor value, and the input and output voltages. The inductor  
value may have to be increased if the inductor ripple cur-  
rent does not allow sufficient maximum output current

LTC3311S  
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
X5R capacitors are recommended for best performance  
across temperature and input voltage variations. Note that  
larger input capacitance is required when a lower switch-  
ing frequency is used. For high frequency applications,  
adding two small capacitors close to the part is recom-  
mended. If the input power source has high impedance, or  
there is significant inductance due to long wires or cables,  
additional bulk capacitance may be necessary. This can  
be provided with a low performance electrolytic capacitor.  
X5R or X7R type capacitors will provide low output ripple  
and good transient response. Transient performance is  
improved with a higher value output capacitor and the  
addition of a feedforward capacitor placed between  
V
and FB. Increasing the output capacitance will also  
OUT  
decrease the output voltage ripple. A lower value of output  
capacitor saves space and cost but transient performance  
will suffer and may cause loop instability. See the Typical  
Applications in this data sheet for suggested capacitor  
values.  
A ceramic input capacitor combined with trace or cable  
inductance forms a high quality (under damped) tank  
circuit. If the LTC3311S circuit is plugged into a live sup-  
ply, the input voltage can ring to twice its nominal value,  
possibly exceeding the LTC3311S’s voltage rating. This  
situation is easily avoided (see Analog Devices Application  
Note 88).  
Multiphase Operation  
The LTC3311S is easily configurable for multiphase oper-  
ation. See Table 4.  
Connecting the RT pin, of the master phase, to a resis-  
tor to AGND programs the frequency and configures the  
MODE/SYNC pin to become clock output used to drive  
the MODE/SYNC pin of the slave phase(s).

figures the MODE/SYNC pin to become an input capable  
of accepting an external clock. The switching frequency  
defaults to the nominal 2MHz internal frequency when  
the external clock is unavailable, such as during start-up.

Connecting the FB pin to VIN configures a phase as a  
slave. The MODE/SYNC becomes an input and the voltage  
control loop is disabled. The slave phase current control  
loop is still active and the peak current is controlled via the  
shared ITH node. Careful consideration should be taken  
when routing the ITH node between phases. Routing the  
ITH and AGND nodes together is recommended to create  
a low inductance path. See the Multi-Phase Demo Board  
PCB layout as an example.  
Output Capacitor and Output Ripple  
The output capacitor has two essential functions. Along  
with the inductor, it filters the square wave, generated by  
the LTC3311S, to produce the DC output. In this role it  
determines the output ripple, thus, low impedance at the  
switching frequency is important. The second function  
is to store energy in order to satisfy transient loads and  
stabilize the LTC3311S’s control loop. Ceramic capaci-  
tors have very low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and  
provide the best ripple performance. For good starting  
values, see the Typical Applications section.  
Connecting the PGOOD pins together and adding an exter-  
nal pull-up resistor allows the master phase to commu-  
nicate with the slave phases on when start-up has been  
completed.

will switch at its default frequency of 2MHz. Once the  
externally applied clock is recognized, the switching fre-  
quency will gradually transition from the default frequency  
to the applied frequency. If the external clock is removed,  
the LTC3311S will slowly transition back to the default  
frequency.

MODE of Operation  
The LTC3311S operates in forced continuous mode during  
synchronization. An internal 200kΩ resistor on MODE/SYNC  
pin to AGND allows the MODE/SYNC pin to be left floating.  
For most configurations, the LTC3311S operates in forced  
continuous mode. While in forced continuous mode, reg-  
ulation at low currents is achieved by allowing negative  
inductor current. Switching cycles are not skipped.  
Transient Response and Loop Compensation  
The LTC3311S operates in pulse skip mode when both RT  
and MODE/SYNC pins are connected to V . In this mode,  
the switching frequency is set with theINnominal 2MHz  
internal clock. While in pulse skip mode negative current  
is disallowed and regulation at low currents is achieved  
by skipping switching cycles.  
When determining the compensation components, C ,

required to meet transient response requirements.

An internal 10μA pulls up the SSTT pin. Putting an external  
capacitor on SSTT enables soft-starting the output to pre-  
vent current surge on the input supply and output voltage  
overshoot. During the soft-start ramp, the output volt-  
age will proportionally track the SSTT pin voltage. When  
the soft-start is complete, the pin will servo to a voltage  
proportional to the LTC3311S junction temperature. See  
Figure 3 showing the SSTT pin operating range.

For output tracking applications, SSTT can be externally  
driven by another voltage source. From 0V to 0.5V, the  
SSTT voltage will override the internal 0.5V reference  
input to the error amplifier, thus regulating the FB pin  
voltage to that of SSTT pin. When SSTT is above 0.5V,  
tracking is disabled and the feedback voltage will regulate  
to the internal reference voltage

An active pull-down circuit is connected to the SSTT pin  
to discharge the external soft-start capacitor in the case  
of fault conditions. The ramp will restart when the fault is  
cleared. Fault conditions that clear the soft-start capacitor  
are the EN/UV pin transitioning low, VIN voltage falling too  
low or thermal shutdown.

Output Power Good  
Once the soft-start cycle has completed and the output  
power good flag thrown, the SSTT pin reports the die  
junction temperature. The LTC3311S regulates the SSTT  
pin to a voltage proportional to the junction temperature.  
While reporting the temperature, the SSTT voltage is not  
valid below 1V. The junction temperature is calculated  
with the following formula:  
When the LTC3311S’s output voltage is within the  
–2/+10% window of the nominal regulation voltage the  
output is considered good and the open-drain PGOOD pin  
goes high impedance and is typically pulled high with an  
external resistor. Otherwise, the internal pull-down device  
will pull the PGOOD pin low. To prevent glitching both the  
upper and lower thresholds, include 1% of hysteresis as  
well as a built in time delay, typically 125µs. The PGOOD

To avoid noise coupling into FB, the resistor divider should  
be placed near the FB and AGND pins and physically  
close to the LTC3311S. The remote output and ground  
traces should be routed together as a differential pair to  
the remote output. These traces should be terminated as  
close as physically possible to the remote output point  
that is to be accurately regulated through remote differ-  
ential sensing.  
OUT  
Output Short Circuit Protection and Recovery  
The peak inductor current at which the current compara-  
tor shuts off the top power switch is controlled by the  
voltage on the ITH pin. If the output current increases,  
the error amplifier raises the ITH pin voltage until the  
average inductor current matches the new load current.  
In normal operation, the LTC3311S clamps the maximum  
ITH pin voltage.  
See Figure 4 for a recommended PCB layout.  
When the output is shorted to ground, the inductor cur-  
rent decays very slowly during the switch off time because  
of the low voltage across the inductor. To keep the current  
in control, a secondary limit is also imposed on the valley  
inductor current. If the inductor current measured through

Recovery from a short circuit can be abrupt and because  
the output is shorted and below regulation the regulator  
is requesting the maximum current to charge the output.  
When the short circuit condition is removed, the induc-  
tor current could cause an extreme voltage overshoot in  
the output. The LTC3311S addresses this potential issue  
by regulating the SSTT voltage just above the FB volt-  
age anytime the output is out of regulation. Therefore,  
a recovery from an output short circuit goes through a  
soft-start cycle. The output ramp is controlled and the  
overshoot is minimized.

and PGND pins and the input capacitors. The loops formed  
by the input capacitors should be as small as possible by  
placing the capacitors adjacent to the VIN and PGND pins.  
Place the input capacitors, inductor and output capaci-  
tors on the same layer of the circuit board. Place a local,  
unbroken ground plane under the application circuit on  
the layer closest to the surface layer.  
For higher ambient temperatures, care should be taken in  
the layout of the PCB to ensure good heat sinking of the  
LTC3311S. The PGND pins and the exposed pad on the  
bottom of the package should be soldered to a ground  
plane. This ground should be tied to large copper layers  
below with many thermal vias; these layers will spread  
heat dissipated by the LTC3311S. Placing additional vias  
can reduce thermal resistance further. The maximum load  
current should be derated as the ambient temperature  
approaches the maximum junction rating. Power dissipa-  
tion within the LTC3311S can be estimated by calculat-  
ing the total power loss from an efficiency measurement  
and subtracting the inductor loss. The die temperature is  
monitored with the SSTT pin.  
The SW node should be as short as possible. Finally,  
keep the FB and RT nodes small and away from the noisy  
SW node.
