FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
Low Ripple Burst Mode® Operation  
The LT®3970 is an adjustable frequency monolithic buck  
switching regulator that accepts a wide input voltage  
range up to 40V, and consumes only 2.5μA of quiescent  
current. A high efficiency switch is included on the die  
along with the catch diode, boost diode, and the neces-  
saryoscillator, controlandlogiccircuitry. LowrippleBurst  
Mode operation maintains high efficiency at low output  
currents while keeping the output ripple below 5mV in a  
typical application. Current mode topology is used for fast  
transient response and good loop stability. A catch diode  
current limit provides protection against shorted outputs  
and overvoltage conditions. An enable pin with accurate  
threshold is available, producing a low shutdown current

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS  
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.  
LT3970I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction  
temperature range. The LT3970H is guaranteed over the full –40°C to  
150°C operating junction temperature range. High junction temperatures  
degrade operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime is derated at junction  
temperatures greater than 125°C.  
Note 3: Bias current flows into the FB pin.  
Note 4: This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to  
Note 2: The LT3970E 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  
guarantee full saturation of the switch.

OPERATION  
The LT3970 is a constant frequency, current mode step-  
down regulator. An oscillator, with frequency set by RT,  
sets an RS flip-flop, turning on the internal power switch.  
An amplifier and comparator monitor the current flowing  
If the EN pin is low, the LT3970 is shut down and draws  
0.7μA from the input. When the EN pin exceeds 1V, the  
switching regulator will become active.  
The switch driver operates from either V or from the  
IN  
between the V and SW pins, turning the switch off when

voltage at the BOOST pin that is higher than the input  
supply. This allows the driver to fully saturate the internal  
bipolar NPN power switch for efficient operation.

V (see Block Diagram). An error amplifier measures the

the FB pin and servos the V node. If the error amplifier’s

output increases, more current is delivered to the output;  
if it decreases, less current is delivered.  
Anothercomparatormonitorsthecurrentowingthrough  
thecatchdiodeandreducestheoperatingfrequencywhen  
the current exceeds the 400mA bottom current limit. This  
foldback in frequency helps to control the output current  
in fault conditions such as a shorted output with high  
input voltage. Maximum deliverable current to the output  
is therefore limited by both switch current limit and catch  
diode current limit.  
The LT3970 contains a power good comparator which  
trips when the FB pin is at 90% of its regulated value. The  
PG output is an open-drain transistor that is off when the  
output is in regulation, allowing an external resistor to pull  
the PG pin high. Power good is valid when the LT3970 is  
enabled and V is above 4.2V.  
IN  
An internal regulator provides power to the control cir-  
cuitry. The bias regulator normally draws power from  
the V pin, but if the BD pin is connected to an external  
IN  
voltage higher than 3.2V, bias power will be drawn from  
theexternalsource(typicallytheregulatedoutputvoltage).  
This improves efficiency.

A good choice of switching frequency should allow ad-

the inductor and capacitor values small.  
Input Voltage Range  
The minimum input voltage is determined by either the

maximum duty cycle (as explained in previous section).

This simple design guide will not always result in the  
optimum inductor selection for a given application. As a  
general rule, lower output voltages and higher switching  
frequency will require smaller inductor values. If the ap-  
plication requires less than 350mA load current, then a  
lesser inductor value may be acceptable. This allows use  
of a physically smaller inductor, or one with a lower DCR  
resulting in higher efficiency. There are several graphs in  
theTypicalPerformanceCharacteristicssectionofthisdata  
sheet that show the maximum load current as a function  
of input voltage for several popular output voltages. Low

which is acceptable but reduces maximum load current.

damage to the part. The output voltage ripple and inductor  
current ripple may also be higher than in typical operation,  
however the output will still be in regulation.  
Inductor Selection

and switching frequency will determine the ripple current.  
The ripple current increases with higher V or V

Output Capacitor and Output Ripple  
The output capacitor has two essential functions. It stores  
energy in order to satisfy transient loads and stabilize the  
LT3970’s control loop. Ceramic capacitors have very low  
equivalent series resistance (ESR) and provide the best  
ripple performance. A good starting value is:

Ceramic Capacitors  
Ceramic capacitors are small, robust and have very low  
ESR. However, ceramic capacitors can cause problems  
whenusedwiththeLT3970duetotheirpiezoelectricnature.  
When in Burst Mode operation, the LT3970’s switching  
frequency depends on the load current, and at very light  
loads the LT3970 can excite the ceramic capacitor at audio  
frequencies, generating audible noise. Since the LT3970

A final precaution regarding ceramic capacitors concerns  
the maximum input voltage rating of the LT3970. As pre-  
viously mentioned, a ceramic input capacitor combined  
with trace or cable inductance forms a high quality (under  
damped)tankcircuit. IftheLT3970circuitispluggedintoa

low ripple Burst Mode is seamless, and will not disturb  
the output voltage.  
BOOST and BD Pin Considerations  
CapacitorC3andtheinternalboostSchottkydiode(seethe  
Block Diagram) are used to generate a boost voltage that  
is higher than the input voltage. In most cases a 0.22μF  
capacitor will work well. Figure 4 shows two ways to ar-  
range the boost circuit. The BOOST pin must be more than  
1.9V above the SW pin for best efficiency. For outputs of  
2.2V and above, the standard circuit (Figure 4a) is best.  
For outputs between 2.2V and 2.5V, use a 0.47μF boost  
capacitor. For output voltages below 2.2V, the boost diode  
can be tied to the input (Figure 4b), or to another external  
supply greater than 2.2V. However, the circuit in Figure 4a  
is more efficient because the BOOST pin current and BD  
pin quiescent current come from a lower voltage source.  
Also, be sure that the maximum voltage ratings of the  
BOOST and BD pins are not exceeded.

charged with the energy stored in the inductor, the circuit

the boost circuit. The minimum load generally goes to

Shorted and Reversed Input Protection

a LT3970 buck regulator will tolerate a shorted output.  
There is another situation to consider in systems where  
the output will be held high when the input to the LT3970  
is absent. This may occur in battery charging applications  
or in battery backup systems where a battery or some  
other supply is diode ORed with the LT3970’s output. If

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
PCB Layout  
with stray inductance in series with the power source,  
forms an under damped tank circuit, and the voltage at  
For proper operation and minimum EMI, care must be  
taken during printed circuit board layout. Figure 9 shows  
the recommended component placement with trace,  
ground plane and via locations. Note that large, switched  
the V pin of the LT3970 can ring to twice the nominal  
IN  
input voltage, possibly exceeding the LT3970’s rating and  
damaging the part. If the input supply is poorly controlled  
or the user will be plugging the LT3970 into an energized  
supply, the input network should be designed to prevent  
thisovershoot.SeeLinearTechnologyApplicationNote 88  
for a complete discussion.  
currents flow in the LT3970’s V and SW pins, the internal  
IN  
catch diode and the input capacitor. The loop formed by  
these components should be as small as possible. These  
components,alongwiththeinductorandoutputcapacitor,  
should be placed on the same side of the circuit board,  
and their connections should be made on that layer. Place  
a local, unbroken ground plane below these components.  
The SW and BOOST nodes should be as small as possible.  
Finally, keep the FB nodes small so that the ground traces  
will shield them from the SW and BOOST nodes. The  
Exposed Pad on the bottom of the DFN package must be  
soldered to ground so that the pad acts as a heat sink. To  
keep thermal resistance low, extend the ground plane as  
much as possible, and add thermal vias under and near  
the LT3970 to additional ground planes within the circuit  
board and on the bottom side.  
High Temperature Considerations  
For higher ambient temperatures, care should be taken  
in the layout of the PCB to ensure good heat sinking  
of the LT3970. The Exposed Pad on the bottom of the  
DFN package must be soldered to a ground plane. This  
ground should be tied to large copper layers below with  
thermal vias; these layers will spread the heat dissipated  
by the LT3970. Placing additional vias can reduce thermal  
resistance further. In the MSOP package, the copper lead  
frame is fused to GND (Pin 5) so place thermal vias near  
this pin. The maximum load current should be derated  
as the ambient temperature approaches the maximum  
junction rating.  
GND  
GND  
Power dissipation within the LT3970 can be estimated by  
calculatingthetotalpowerlossfromanefficiencymeasure-  
ment and subtracting inductor loss. The die temperature  
is calculated by multiplying the LT3970 power dissipation  
by the thermal resistance from junction to ambient.

Application Notes 19, 35 and 44 contain more detailed  
descriptions and design information for buck regulators

Hot Plugging Safely  
The small size, robustness and low impedance of ceramic  
capacitors make them an attractive option for the input  
bypass capacitor of LT3970 circuits. However, these ca-  
pacitors can cause problems if the LT3970 is plugged into  
a live supply. The low loss ceramic capacitor, combined
