FEATURES  
DESCRIPTIO  
The LT®1373 is a low supply current high frequency  
current mode switching regulator. It can be operated in all  
standard switching configurations including boost, buck,  
flyback, forward, inverting and “Cuk.” A 1.5A high effi-  
ciency switch is included on the die, along with all oscilla-  
tor, control and protection circuitry. All functions of the  
LT1373 are integrated into 8-pin SO/PDIP packages.  
1mA IQ at 250kHz  
Uses Small Inductors: 15µH  
All Surface Mount Components  
Only 0.6 Square Inch of Board Space  
Low Minimum Supply Voltage: 2.7V  
Constant Frequency Current Mode  
Current Limited Power Switch: 1.5A  
Regulates Positive or Negative Outputs  
Compared to the 500kHz LT1372, which draws 4mA of  
quiescent current, the LT1373 switches at 250kHz, typi-  
cally consumes only 1mA and has higher efficiency. High  
frequencyswitchingallowsforsmallinductorstobeused.  
All surface mount components consume less than 0.6  
square inch of board space.  
Shutdown Supply Current: 12µA Typ

APPLICATIO S  
New design techniques increase flexibility and maintain  
ease of use. Switching is easily synchronized to an exter-  
nal logic level source. A logic low on the shutdown pin  
reduces supply current to 12µA. Unique error amplifier  
circuitry can regulate positive or negative output voltage  
while maintaining simple frequency compensation tech-  
niques. Nonlinear error amplifier transconductance re-  
duces output overshoot on start-up or overload recovery.  
Oscillator frequency shifting protects external compo-  
nents during overload conditions.

VC (Pin 1): Compensation Pin. The VC pin is used for

tween 300kHz and 340kHz.  
VIN (Pin 5): Input Supply Pin. Bypass VIN with 10µF or  
more. The part goes into undervoltage lockout when VIN  
drops below 2.5V. Undervoltage lockout stops switching  
and pulls the VC pin low.  
FB (Pin 2): The feedback pin is used for positive output  
voltage sensing and oscillator frequency shifting. It is the  
inverting input to the error amplifier. The noninverting  
input of this amplifier is internally tied to a 1.245V  
reference. Load on the FB pin should not exceed 100µA  
when the NFB pin is used. See Applications Information.  
GND S (Pin 6): The ground sense pin is a “clean” ground.  
The internal reference, error amplifier and negative feed-  
back amplifier are referred to the ground sense pin. Con-  
nect it to ground. Keep the ground path connection to the  
output resistor divider and the VC compensation network  
free of large ground currents.  
NFB(Pin3):Thenegativefeedbackpinisusedfornegative  
output voltage sensing. It is connected to the inverting  
input of the negative feedback amplifier through a 400k  
source resistor.  
GND (Pin 7): The ground pin is the emitter connection of  
thepowerswitchandhaslargecurrentsflowingthroughit.  
It should be connected directly to a good quality ground  
plane.  
S/S (Pin 4): Shutdown and Synchronization Pin. The S/S  
pin is logic level compatible. Shutdown is active low and  
the shutdown threshold is typically 1.3V. For normal  
operation, pull the S/S pin high, tie it to VIN or leave it

SW (Pin 8): The switch pin is the collector of the power  
switch and has large currents flowing through it. Keep the  
traces to the switching components as short as possible to  
minimize radiation and voltage spikes.

OPERATIO  
The LT1373 is a current mode switcher. This means that  
switch duty cycle is directly controlled by switch current  
rather than by output voltage. Referring to the Block  
Diagram, the switch is turned “On” at the start of each  
oscillator cycle. It is turned “Off” when switch current  
reaches a predetermined level. Control of output voltage  
is obtained by using the output of a voltage sensing error  
amplifier to set current trip level. This technique has  
several advantages. First, it has immediate response to  
input voltage variations, unlike voltage mode switchers  
which have notoriously poor line transient response.  
Second,itreducesthe90°phaseshiftatmid-frequencies  
in the energy storage inductor. This greatly simplifies  
closed-loop frequency compensation under widely vary-  
ing input voltage or output load conditions. Finally, it  
allows simple pulse-by-pulse current limiting to provide  
maximum switch protection under output overload or  
short conditions. A low dropout internal regulator pro-  
vides a 2.3V supply for all internal circuitry. This low  
dropout design allows input voltage to vary from 2.7V to  
25V with virtually no change in device performance. A  
250kHz oscillator is the basic clock for all internal timing.  
It turns “On” the output switch via the logic and driver  
circuitry. Special adaptive anti-sat circuitry detects onset  
of saturation in the power switch and adjusts driver  
current instantaneously to limit switch saturation. This  
minimizes driver dissipation and provides very rapid  
turn-off of the switch.  
put overshoot on start-up or overload recovery. When  
the feedback voltage exceeds the reference by 40mV,  
error amplifier transconductance increases ten times,  
whichreducesoutputovershoot.Thefeedbackinputalso  
invokes oscillator frequency shifting, which helps pro-  
tect components during overload conditions. When the  
feedback voltage drops below 0.6V, the oscillator fre-  
quencyisreduced5:1.Lowerswitchingfrequencyallows  
full control of switch current limit by reducing minimum  
switch duty cycle.  
Unique error amplifier circuitry allows the LT1373 to  
directly regulate negative output voltages. The negative  
feedback amplifier’s 400k source resistor is brought out  
fornegativeoutputvoltagesensing. TheNFBpinregulates  
at 2.45V while the amplifier output internally drives the  
FB pin to 1.245V. This architecture, which uses the same  
main error amplifier, prevents duplicating functions and  
maintains ease of use. (Consult Linear Technology Mar-  
keting for units that can regulate down to 1.25V.)  
The error signal developed at the amplifier output is  
brought out externally. This pin (VC) has three different  
functions. Itisusedforfrequencycompensation, current  
limit adjustment and soft starting. During normal regula-  
tor operation this pin sits at a voltage between 1V (low  
outputcurrent)and 1.9V(highoutputcurrent). Theerror  
amplifierisacurrentoutput(gm)type, sothisvoltagecan  
be externally clamped for lowering current limit. Like-  
wise, acapacitorcoupledexternalclampwillprovidesoft  
start. Switch duty cycle goes to zero if the VC pin is pulled  
below the control pin threshold, placing the LT1373 in an  
idle mode.  
A 1.245V bandgap reference biases the positive input of  
the error amplifier. The negative input of the amplifier is  
broughtoutforpositiveoutputvoltagesensing.Theerror  
amplifier has nonlinear transconductance to reduce out-

A logic low on the S/S pin activates shutdown, reducing  
the part’s supply current to 12µA. Typical synchronization  
range is from 1.05 and 1.8 times the part’s natural switch-  
ingfrequency,butisonlyguaranteedbetween300kHzand  
340kHz. A 12µs resetable shutdown delay network guar-  
antees the part will not go into shutdown while receiving  
a synchronization signal.  
Negative Output Voltage Setting  
The LT1373 develops a 2.45V reference (VNFR) from the  
NFB pin to ground. Output voltage is set by connecting the  
NFB pin to an output resistor divider (Figure 2). The 7µA  
NFBpinbiascurrent(INFB)cancauseoutputvoltageerrors  
and should not be ignored. This has been accounted for in  
the formula in Figure 2. The suggested value for R2 is  
2.49k. The FB pin is normally left open for negative output  
applications. SeeDualPolarityOutputVoltageSensingfor  
limitations of FB pin loading when using the NFB pin.  
Caution should be used when synchronizing above  
330kHz because at higher sync frequencies the ampli-  
tude of the internal slope compensation used to prevent  
subharmonic switching is reduced. This type of  
subharmonic switching only occurs when the duty cycle  
of the switch is above 50%. Higher inductor values will  
tend to eliminate problems.

Thermal Considerations  
NFR  
LT1373 • F02  
Care should be taken to ensure that the worst-case input  
voltage and load current conditions do not cause exces-  
sive die temperatures. The packages are rated at 120°C/W  
for SO (S8) and 130°C/W for PDIP (N8).  
Figure 2. Negative Output Resistor Divider  
Dual Polarity Output Voltage Sensing  
Certain applications benefit from sensing both positive  
and negative output voltages. One example is the Dual  
Output Flyback Converter with Overvoltage Protection  
circuit shown in the Typical Applications section. Each  
output voltage resistor divider is individually set as de-  
scribed above. When both the FB and NFB pins are used,  
the LT1373 acts to prevent either output from going  
beyond its set output voltage. For example in this applica-  
tion, if the positive output were more heavily loaded than  
the negative, the negative output would be greater and  
would regulate at the desired set-point voltage. The posi-  
tive output would sag slightly below its set-point voltage.  
This technique prevents either output from going unregu-  
lated high at no load. Please note that the load on the FB  
pin should not exceed 100µA when the NFB pin is used.  
This situation occurs when the resistor dividers are used  
at both FB and NFB. True load on FB is not the full divider  
current unless the positive output is shorted to ground.  
See Dual Output Flyback Converter application.  
Average supply current (including driver current) is:  
IIN = 1mA + DC (ISW/60 + ISW • 0.004)  
ISW = switch current  
DC = switch duty cycle  
Switch power dissipation is given by:  
PSW = (ISW)2 • RSW • DC  
RSW = output switch “On” resistance  
Total power dissipation of the die is the sum of supply  
current times supply voltage plus switch power:  
P
D(TOTAL) = (IIN • VIN) + PSW  
Choosing the Inductor  
For most applications the inductor will fall in the range of  
10µHto50µH.Lowervaluesarechosentoreducephysical  
size of the inductor. Higher values allow more output  
current because they reduce peak current seen by the  
power switch which has a 1.5A limit. Higher values also  
reduce input ripple voltage, and reduce core loss.  
Shutdown and Synchronization  
The dual function S/S pin provides easy shutdown and  
synchronization. It is logic level compatible and can be  
pulledhigh, tiedtoVIN orleftfloatingfornormaloperation.  
When choosing an inductor you might have to consider  
maximum load current, core and copper losses, allowable

like high efficiency, low profile and high temperature  
operation will increase cost, sometimes dramatically.  
component height, output voltage ripple, EMI, fault cur-  
rent in the inductor, saturation, and of course, cost. The  
following procedure is suggested as a way of handling  
thesesomewhatcomplicatedandconflictingrequirements.  
1. Assume that the average inductor current (for a boost  
converter) is equal to load current times VOUT/VIN and  
decide whether or not the inductor must withstand  
continuous overload conditions. If average inductor  
current at maximum load current is 0.5A, for instance,  
a 0.5A inductor may not survive a continuous 1.5A  
overload condition. Also, be aware that boost convert-  
ers are not short-circuit protected, and that under  
outputshortconditions, inductorcurrentislimitedonly  
by the available current of the input supply.  
5. After making an initial choice, consider the secondary  
things like output voltage ripple, second sourcing, etc.  
Use the experts in the Linear Technology application  
department if you feel uncertain about the final choice.  
They have experience with a wide range of inductor  
types and can tell you about the latest developments in  
low profile, surface mounting, etc.  
Output Capacitor  
The output capacitor is normally chosen by its effective  
series resistance (ESR), because this is what determines  
output ripple voltage. At 500kHz, any polarized capacitor  
is essentially resistive. To get low ESR takes volume, so  
physically smaller capacitors have high ESR. The ESR  
range for typical LT1373 applications is 0.05to 0.5. A  
typical output capacitor is an AVX type TPS, 22µF at 25V,  
with a guaranteed ESR less than 0.2. This is a “D” size  
surface mount solid tantalum capacitor. TPS capacitors  
are specially constructed and tested for low ESR, so they  
give the lowest ESR for a given volume. To further reduce  
ESR, multiple output capacitors can be used in parallel.  
The value in microfarads is not particularly critical and  
values from 22µF to greater than 500µF work well, but you  
cannot cheat mother nature on ESR. If you find a tiny 22µF  
solid tantalum capacitor, it will have high ESR and output  
ripple voltage will be terrible. Table 1 shows some typical  
solid tantalum surface mount capacitors.  
2. Calculate peak inductor current at full load current to  
ensure that the inductor will not saturate. Peak current  
can be significantly higher than output current, espe-  
cially with smaller inductors and lighter loads, so don’t  
omit this step. Powered iron cores are forgiving be-  
cause they saturate softly, whereas ferrite cores satu-  
rate abruptly. Other core materials fall in between  
somewhere. The following formula assumes continu-  
ous mode operation, but it errors only slightly on the  
high side for discontinuous mode, so it can be used for  
all conditions.

3. Decide if the design can tolerate an “open” core geom-  
etry like a rod or barrel, which have high magnetic field  
radiation, or whether it needs a closed core like a toroid  
to prevent EMI problems. One would not want an open  
core next to a magnetic storage media for instance!  
This is a tough decision because the rods or barrels are  
temptingly cheap and small, and there are no helpful  
guidelines to calculate when the magnetic field radia-  
tion will be a problem.

Many engineers have heard that solid tantalum capacitors  
are prone to failure if they undergo high surge currents.  
This is historically true and type TPS capacitors are  
speciallytestedforsurgecapability,butsurgeruggedness  
is not a critical issue with the output capacitor. Solid  
tantalum capacitors fail during very high turn-on surges,  
which do not occur at the output of regulators. High  
discharge surges, such as when the regulator output is  
dead shorted, do not harm the capacitors.  
aluminum electrolytic capacitors may also be used and  
have a high tolerance to turn-on surges.  
Ceramic Capacitors  
Higher value, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now  
becomingavailableinsmallercasesizes.Thesearetempt-  
ing for switching regulator use because of their very low  
ESR. Unfortunately, the ESR is so low that it can cause  
loop stability problems. Solid tantalum capacitor ESR  
generatesaloopzeroat5kHzto50kHzthatisinstrumen-  
tal in giving acceptable loop phase margin. Ceramic ca-  
pacitors remain capacitive to beyond 300kHz and usually  
resonate with their ESL before ESR becomes effective.  
They are appropriate for input bypassing because of their  
highripplecurrentratingsandtoleranceofturn-onsurges.  
Linear Technology plans to issue a Design Note on the use  
of ceramic capacitors in the near future.  
Single inductor boost regulators have large RMS ripple  
current in the output capacitor, which must be rated to  
handle the current. The formula to calculate this is:

The suggested output diode (D1) is a 1N5818 Schottky or  
its Motorola equivalent, MBR130. It is rated at 1A average  
forward current and 30V reverse voltage. Typical forward  
voltage is 0.42V at 1A. The diode conducts current only  
during switch-off time. Peak reverse voltage for boost  
converters is equal to regulator output voltage. Average  
forward current in normal operation is equal to output  
current.  
Input Capacitors  
The input capacitor of a boost converter is less critical due  
to the fact that the input current waveform is triangular,  
and does not contain large squarewave currents as is  
found in the output capacitor. Capacitors in the range of  
10µF to 100µF with an ESR (effective series resistance) of  
0.3or less work well up to a full 1.5A switch current.  
Higher ESR capacitors may be acceptable at low switch  
currents. Input capacitor ripple current for boost con-  
verter is:  
Frequency Compensation  
Loop frequency compensation is performed on the output  
oftheerroramplifier(VC pin)withaseriesRC network.The  
main pole is formed by the series capacitor and the output  
impedance (1M) of the error amplifier. The pole falls in  
the range of 5Hz to 30Hz. The series resistor creates a  
“zeroat2kHzto10kHz, whichimprovesloopstabilityand

Several manufacturers have developed a line of solid

(AVX TPS series, for instance), but even these units may  
fail if the input voltage approaches the maximum voltage  
rating of the capacitor. AVX recommends derating capaci-

Thehighspeedswitchingcurrentpathisshownschemati-  
cally in Figure 3. Minimum lead length in this path is  
essential to ensure clean switching and low EMI. The path  
including the switch, output diode and output capacitor is  
the only one containing nanosecond rise and fall times.  
Keep this path as short as possible.

RC = series resistor on VC pin

To prevent irregular switching, VC pin ripple should be  
kept below 50mVP-P. Worst-case VC pin ripple occurs at  
maximum output load current and will also be increased if  
poor quality (high ESR) output capacitors are used. The  
addition of a 0.001µF capacitor on the VC pin reduces  
switching frequency ripple to only a few millivolts. A low  
value for RC will also reduce VC pin ripple, but loop phase  
margin may be inadequate.

(magnetic) radiation is minimized by keeping output di-

length and area of all traces connected to the switch pin.  
A ground plane should always be used under the switcher  
circuitry to prevent interplane coupling.
