driver power to be derived from the regulated output
voltageprovidingsignificantefficiencyimprovementwhen
operating at high input voltages. The constant off-time
current-mode architecture maintains constant ripple cur-
rent in the inductor and provides excellent line and load
transient response. The output current level is user pro-
grammable via an external current sense resistor.

APPLICATIO S
■
Step-Down and Inverting Regulators
The LTC1159 automatically switches to power saving
Burst Mode operation when load current drops below
approximately 15% of maximum current. Standby current
is only 300µA while still regulating the output and shut-
down current is a low 20µA.

OPERATIO
(Refer to Functional Diagram)
The LTC1159 uses a current mode, constant off-time
architecture to synchronously switch an external pair of
complementary power MOSFETs. Operating frequency is
set by an external capacitor at the CT pin.
level-shiftingtheP-drivesignalviaaninternal550kresistor
and external capacitor.
During the switch “ON” cycle in continuous mode, current
comparator C monitors the voltage between the SENSE+
and SENSE– pins connected across an external shunt in
serieswiththeinductor.Whenthevoltageacrosstheshunt
reaches its threshold value, the P-gate output is switched
to VIN, turning off the P-channel MOSFET. The timing
capacitor CT is now allowed to discharge at a rate deter-
mined by the off-time controller. The discharge current is
made proportional to the output voltage to model the
inductor current, which decays at a rate which is also
proportional to the output voltage. While the timing
capacitor is discharging, the N-gate output is high, turning
on the N-channel MOSFET.
The output voltage is sensed either by an internal voltage
divider connected to the SENSE– pin (LTC1159-3.3 and
LTC1159-5) or an external divider returned to the VFB pin
(LTC1159). A voltage comparator V, and a gain block G,
compare the divided output voltage with a reference volt-
age of 1.25V. To optimize efficiency, the LTC1159 auto-
matically switches between two modes of operation, burst
and continuous.
A low dropout 4.5V regulator provides the operating volt-
ageVCC fortheMOSFETdriversandcontrolcircuitryduring
start-up. During normal operation, the LTC1159 family
powers the drivers and control from the output via the
EXTVCC pin to improve efficiency. The N-GATE pin is
referenced to ground and drives the N-channel MOSFET
gate directly. The P-channel gate drive must be referenced
to the main supply input VIN, which is accomplished by
WhenthevoltageonCThasdischargedpastVTH1,compara-
torTtrips,settingtheflip-flop.ThiscausestheN-gateoutput
to go low (turning off the N-channel MOSFET) and the P-
gate output to also go low (turning the P-channel MOSFET
back on). The cycle then repeats. As the load current

the output of the gain stage to increase the current com-
parator threshold, thus tracking the load current.
(Refer to Functional Diagram)
is turned off, dropping the supply current from several
milliamps (with the MOSFETs switching) to 300µA. When
the output capacitor has discharged by the amount of
hysteresis in comparator V, the P-channel MOSFET is
again turned on and this process repeats. To avoid the
operation of the current loop interfering with Burst Mode
operation, abuilt-inoffsetisincorporatedinthegainstage.
The sequence of events for Burst Mode operation is very
similar to continuous operation with the cycle interrupted
bythevoltagecomparator. Whentheoutputvoltageisator
above the desired regulated value, the P-channel MOSFET
is held off by comparator V and the timing capacitor con-
tinues to discharge below VTH1. When the timing capacitor
discharges past VTH2, voltage comparator S trips, causing
theinternalSLEEPlinetogolowandtheN-channelMOSFET
to turn off.
To prevent both the external MOSFETs from being turned
on at the same time, feedback is incorporated to sense the
stateofthedriveroutputpins. BeforetheN-gateoutputcan
gohigh, theP-driveoutputmustalsobehigh. Likewise, the
P-drive output is prevented from going low when the
N-gate output is high.
The circuit now enters sleep mode with both power
MOSFETs turned off. In sleep mode, much of the circuitry

tion to reduced quiescent and shutdown currents, the
LTC1159 adds an internal switch which allows the driver
and control sections to be powered from an external
source for higher efficiency. This change affects Power
MOSFET Selection, EXTVCC Pin Connection, Important
Information About LTC1159 Adjustable Applications, and
Efficiency Considerations found in this section.
Since efficiency generally increases with ripple current,
the maximum allowable ripple current is assumed, i.e.,
IRIPPLE(P-P) = 0.025V/RSENSE (see CT and L Selection for
Operating Frequency). Solving for RSENSE and allowing
a margin for variations in the LTC1159 and external
component values yields:
The basic LTC1159 application circuit shown in Figure 1
is limited to a maximum input voltage of 30V due to
MOSFET breakdown. If the application does not require
greater than 18V operation, then the LTC1148 or
LTC1148HV should be used. For higher input voltages
wherequiescentandshutdowncurrentarenotcritical,the
LTC1149 may be a better choice since it is set up to drive
standard threshold MOSFETs.

Both MOSFETs have I2R losses while the P-channel
equation includes an additional term for transition losses,
which are highest at high input voltages. For VIN < 20V the
high current efficiency generally improves with larger
MOSFETs,whileforVIN >20Vthetransitionlossesrapidly
increase to the point that the use of a higher RDS(ON)
device with lower CRSS actually provides higher effi-
ciency. The N-channel MOSFET losses are the greatest at
high input voltage or during a short circuit when the
N-channel duty cycle is nearly 100%.
Power MOSFET Selection
Two external power MOSFETs must be selected for use
with the LTC1159: a P-channel MOSFET for the main
switch and an N-channel MOSFET for the synchronous
switch.
The peak-to-peak drive levels are set by the VCC voltage on
the LTC1159. This voltage is typically 4.5V during start-up
and 5V to 7V during normal operation (see EXTVCC Pin
Connection). Consequently, logic-level threshold
MOSFETs must be used in most LTC1159 family applica-
tions. The only exception is applications in which EXTVCC
is powered from an external supply greater than 8V, in
whichstandardthresholdMOSFETs(VGS(TH) <4V)maybe
used. PaycloseattentiontotheBVDSS specificationforthe
MOSFETs as well; many of the logic-level MOSFETs are
limited to 30V.
Theterm(1+∂)isgenerallygivenforaMOSFETintheform

∂ = 0.007/°C can be used as an approximation for low
voltage MOSFETs. CRSS is usually specified in the MOSFET
electricalcharacteristics.Theconstantk=5canbeusedfor
the LTC1159 to estimate the relative contributions of the
two terms in the P-channel dissipation equation.
Selection criteria for the power MOSFETs include the “ON”
resistance RDS(ON), reverse transfer capacitance CRSS
input voltage and maximum output current. When the
LTC1159 is operating in continuous mode, the duty cycle
for the P-channel MOSFET is given by:
The Schottky diode D1 shown in Figure 1 only conducts
during the dead time between the conduction of the two
power MOSFETs. D1 prevents the body diode of the
N-channel MOSFET from turning on and storing charge
during the dead time, which could cost as much as 1% in
efficiency (although there are no other harmful effects if
D1 is omitted). Therefore, D1 should be selected for a

mendations.
CIN and COUT Selection
In continuous mode, the source current of the P-channel
MOSFET is a square wave of duty cycle VOUT/VIN.
To prevent large voltage transients, a low ESR input
capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current must be
used. The maximum RMS capacitor current is given by:
At low supply voltages, a minimum value of COUT is
suggestedtopreventanabnormallowfrequencyoperating
mode (see Figure 4). When COUT is too small, the output
ripple at low frequencies will be large enough to trip the
voltage comparator. This causes the Burst Mode operation
to be activated when the LTC1159 would normally be in
continuous operation. The effect is most pronounced with
low values of RSENSE and can be improved by operating at
higher frequencies with lower values of L. The output
remains in regulation at all times.

ripple current ratings are often based on only 2000 hours
of life. This makes it advisable to further derate the
capacitor, or to choose a capacitor rated at a higher
temperature than required. Several capacitors may be
paralleled to meet size or height requirements in the
design. An additional 0.1µF ceramic capacitor may also be
required on VIN for high frequency decoupling.

Switching regulators take several cycles to respond to a

also begins to charge or discharge COUT until the regulator
loop adapts to the current change and returns VOUT to its
steady-state value. During this recovery time VOUT can be
monitored for overshoot or ringing which would indicate a
stability problem. The ITH external components shown in
the Figure 1 circuit will provide adequate compensation for
most applications.

discharged bypass capacitors are effectively put in parallel
with COUT, causing a rapid drop in VOUT. No regulator can
deliver enough current to prevent this problem if the load
switch resistance is low and it is driven quickly. The only
solution is to limit the rise time of the switch drive so that

driver and control currents will be scaled by a factor of
(Duty Cycle)/(Efficiency). For 5V regulators this simply
means connecting the EXTVCC pin directly to VOUT. How-
ever, for 3.3V and other low voltage regulators, additional
circuitry is required to derive VCC power from the output.
the load rise time is limited to approximately 25 • CLOAD
.
Thus a 10µF capacitor would require a 250µs rise time,
limiting the charging current to about 200mA.
Line Transient Response
The LTC1159 has better than 60dB line rejection and is
generally impervious to large positive or negative line
voltage transients. However, one rarely occurring condi-
tion can cause the output voltage to overshoot if the proper
precautions are not observed. This condition is a negative
VIN transition of several volts followed within 100µs by a
positive transition of greater than 0.5V/µs slew rate.
The following list summarizes the four possible connec-
tions for EXTVCC:
1. EXTVCC Left Open. This will cause VCC to be powered
only from the internal 4.5V regulator resulting in reduced
MOSFET gate drive levels and an efficiency penalty of up to
10% at high input voltages.
The reason this condition rarely occurs is because it takes
tens of amps to slew the regulator input capacitor at this
rate! The solution is to add a diode between the cap and VIN
pins of the LTC1159 as shown in several of the typical
application circuits. If you think your system could have
this problem, add the diode. Note that in surface mount
applications it can be combined with the P-gate diode by
using a low cost common cathode dual diode.
2. EXTVCC Connected Directly to VOUT. This is the normal
connection for a 5V regulator and provides the highest
efficiency.
3. EXTVCC Connected to an Output-Derived Boost Net-
work. For 3.3V and other low voltage regulators, efficiency
gains can still be realized by connecting EXTVCC to an
output-derived voltage which has been boosted to greater
than 4.5V. This can be done either with the inductive boost
winding shown in Figure 5a or the capacitive charge pump
shown in Figure 5b. The charge pump has the advantage of
simple magnetics and generally provides the highest effi-
ciency at the expense of a slightly higher parts count.
EXTVCC Pin Connection
The LTC1159 contains an internal PNP switch connected
between the EXTVCC and VCC pins. The switch closes and
supplies the VCC power whenever the EXTVCC pin is higher
in voltage than the 4.5V internal regulator. This allows the

In LTC1159N and LTC1159S applications with VOUT >
5.5V, the VCC pin may self-power through the SENSE pins
when SHDN2 is taken high, preventing shutdown. In these
applications, apull-downmustbeaddedtotheSENSE– pin
as shown in Figure 6. This pull-down effectively takes the
place of the SHDN1 pin, ensuring complete shutdown.

nal supply must always be present during operation to
prevent MOSFET failure due to insufficient gate drive. The

output capacitor and load. This operates the current sense
comparator at 0V common mode, increasing the off-time
approximately 40% and requiring the use of a smaller
timing capacitor CT.
When an output voltage other than 3.3V or 5V is required,

the same process as in conventional applications, using
either the internal divider (LTC1159-3.3, LTC1159-5) or an
external divider with the adjustable version.
By powering EXTVCC from an output-derived source, the
additional VIN current resulting from the driver and control
currents will be scaled by a factor of (Duty Cycle)/(Effi-
ciency). For example in a 20V to 5V application, 10mA of
Figure 15 in the Typical Applications shows a synchronous
12V to –12V converter that can supply up to 1A with better
than 85% efficiency. By grounding the EXTVCC pin in the
Figure 15 circuit, the entire 12V output voltage is placed
across the driver and control circuits since the LTC1159
ground pins are at –12V. During start-up or short-circuit
conditions, operating power is supplied by the internal
4.5V regulator. The shutdown signal is level-shifted to the
negative output rail by Q3, and Q4 ensures that Q1 and Q2
remain off during the entire shutdown sequence.
VCC current results in approximately 3mA of VIN current.

3. I2R losses are easily predicted from the DC resistances

mode all of the output current flows through L and
R
SENSE, but is “chopped” between the P-channel and
N-channel MOSFETs. If the two MOSFETs have approxi-
mately the same RDS(ON), then the resistance of one
MOSFET can simply be summed with the resistances of L
and RSENSE to obtain I2R losses. For example, if each
RDS(ON) = 0.1Ω, RL = 0.15Ω, and RSENSE = 0.05Ω, then
the total resistance is 0.3Ω. This results in losses ranging
from 3% to 12% as the output current increases from
0.5A to 2A. I2R losses cause the efficiency to roll-off at
high output currents.
Efficiency Considerations
The percent efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to
the output power divided by the input power times 100%.
It is often useful to analyze individual losses to determine
what is limiting the efficiency and which change would
produce the most improvement. Percent efficiency can be
expressed as:
4. Transition losses apply only to the P-channel MOSFET,
and only when operating at high input voltages (typically
20V or greater). Transition losses can be estimated from:
%Efficiency = 100 – (L1 + L2 + L3 + ...)
whereL1, L2, etc., aretheindividuallossesasapercentage
of input power.
Transition Loss ≈ 5(VIN)2(IMAX)(CRSS)(f)
OtherlossesincludingCINandCOUT ESRdissipativelosses,
Schottkyconductionlossesduringdeadtime,andinductor
core losses, generally account for less than 2% total
additional loss.
Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce
losses, four main sources usually account for most of the
losses in LTC1159 circuits: 1) LTC1159 VIN current, 2)
LTC1159 VCC current, 3) I2R losses and 4) P-channel
transition losses.
Auxiliary Windings—Suppressing Burst Mode
Operation
1. LTC1159 VIN current is the DC supply current given in
theelectricalcharacteristicswhichexcludesMOSFETdriver
and control currents. VIN current results in a small (<1%)
loss which increases with VIN.
The LTC1159 synchronous switch removes the normal
limitation that power must be drawn from the inductor
primarywindinginordertoextractpowerfromauxiliary
windings. With synchronous switching, auxiliary out-
putsmaybeloadedwithoutregardtotheprimaryoutput
load, providing that the loop remains in continuous
mode operation.
2. LTC1159 VCC current is the sum of the MOSFET driver
and control circuit currents. The MOSFET driver current
results from switching the gate capacitance of the power
MOSFETs. Each time a MOSFET gate is switched from low
to high to low again, a packet of charge dQ moves from VCC
to ground. The resulting dQ/dt is a current out of VCC which
is typically much larger than the control circuit current. In
continuousmode, IGATECHG ≈f(QP +QN), whereQP andQN
are the gate charges of the two MOSFETs.
Burst Mode operation can be suppressed at low output
currents with a simple external network that cancels the

If VOFFSET > 0.025V, the minimum threshold will be

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
U
1) Are the signal and power grounds segregated? The
LTC1159 signal ground must connect separately to the
(–) plate of COUT. The other ground pin(s) should return to
the source of the N-channel MOSFET, anode of the Schot-
tky diode and (–) plate of CIN, which should have as short
lead lengths as possible.
2) Does the LTC1159 SENSE– pin connect to a point close
to RSENSE and the (+) plate of COUT? In adjustable applica-
tions, the resistive divider R1, R2 must be connected
between the (+) plate of COUT and signal ground.
7) Is the SHDN1 pin actively pulled to ground during
normal operation? SHDN1 is a high impedance pin and
must not be allowed to float.
Troubleshooting Hints
SinceefficiencyiscriticaltoLTC1159applicationsitisvery
important to verify that the circuit is functioning correctly
in both continuous and Burst Mode operation. The wave-
form to monitor is the voltage on the CT pin .
In continuous mode (ILOAD > IBURST) the voltage should be
asawtoothwitha0.9VP-P swing. Thisvoltageshouldnever
dip below 2V as shown in Figure 9a. When the load current
islow(ILOAD <IBURST), BurstModeoperationshouldoccur
with the CT waveform periodically falling to ground as
shown in Figure 9b.

) Are the SENSE– and SENSE+ leads routed together
with minimum PC trace spacing? The differential
decouplingcapacitorbetweenthetwoSENSEpinsshould
be as close as possible to the LTC1159. Up to 100Ω may
be placed in series with each sense lead to help decouple
the SENSE pins. However, when these resistors are used,
the capacitor should be no larger than 1000pF.
If the CT pin is observed falling to ground at high output
currents, it indicates poor decoupling or improper ground-
ing. Refer to the Board Layout Checklist.
4) Does the (+) plate of CIN connect to the source of the
P-channel MOSFET as closely as possible? An additional
0.1µF ceramic capacitor between VIN and power ground
may be required in some applications.

5) Is the VCC decoupling capacitor connected closely be-
tween the VCC pins of the LTC1159 and power ground?
This capacitor carries the MOSFET driver peak currents.

tor switch signal.
