FEATURES  
DESCRIPTIO  
The LTC®1773 is a current mode synchronous buck regu-  
lator controller that drives external complementary power  
MOSFETs using a fixed frequency architecture. The oper-  
ating supply range is from 2.65V to 8.5V, making it  
suitable for 1- or 2-cell lithium-ion battery powered appli-  
cations. BurstMode® operationprovideshighefficiencyat  
low load currents. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout  
operation which extends operating time in battery-oper-  
ated systems.

The operating frequency is internally set at 550kHz, allow-  
ing the use of small surface mount inductors. For switch-  
ing-noisesensitiveapplications, itcanbesynchronizedup  
to 750kHz. Peak current limit is user programmable with  
an external high side sense resistor. A SYNC/FCB control  
pin guarantees regulation of secondary windings regard-  
less of load on the main output by forcing continuous  
operation. Burst Mode operation is inhibited during syn-  
chronization or when the SYNC/FCB pin is pulled low to  
reducenoiseandRFinterference. Soft-startisprovidedby  
an external capacitor.

PIN FUNCTIONS  
ITH (Pin 1): Error Amplifier Compensation Point. The  
current comparator threshold increases with this control  
voltage. Nominal voltage range for this pin is 0V to 1.2V.  
Under high duty cycle and nearing current limit, ITH can  
swing up to 2.4V.  
VFB (Pin 4): Feedback Pin. Receives the feedback voltage  
fromanexternalresistivedivideracrosstheoutput.Donot  
use more than 0.01µF of feedforward capacitance from FB  
to the output.  
GND (Pin 5): Ground Pin.  
RUN/SS (Pin 2): Combination of Soft-Start and Run  
Control Inputs. A capacitor to ground at this pin sets the  
ramptimetofullcurrentoutput. Thetimeisapproximately  
0.8s/µF. Forcing this pin below 0.4V shuts down all the  
circuitry.  
BG (Pin 6): Bottom Gate Driver of External N-Channel  
Power MOSFET. This pin swings from 0V to VIN.  
TG (Pin 7): Top Gate Driver of External P-Channel Power  
MOSFET. This pin swings from 0V to VIN.  
VIN (Pin 8) : Main Supply Pin. Must be closely decoupled  
SYNC/FCB (Pin 3): Multifunction Pin. This pin performs  
three functions: 1) secondary winding feedback input, 2)  
external clock synchronization and 3) Burst Mode opera-  
tion or forced continuous mode select. For secondary  
winding applications, connect to a resistive divider from  
the secondary output. To synchronize with an external  
clock, apply a TTL/CMOS compatible clock with a fre-  
quency between 585kHz and 750kHz. To select Burst  
Mode operation, tie SYNC/FCB to VIN. Grounding this pin  
forces continuous operation.  
to GND (pin 5).  
SENSE(Pin 9): The Negative Input to the Current Com-  
parator. A sense resistor between this pin and VIN sets the  
peak current in the top switch. Connect this pin to the  
source of the external P-Channel power MOSFET.  
SW (Pin 10): Switch Node Connection to Inductor. This  
pin connects to the drains of the external main and  
synchronous power MOSFET switches.

OPERATIO  
Main Control Loop  
secondary winding regulation as described in Auxiliary  
Winding Control Using SYNC/FCB Pin in the Applications  
Information section.  
The LTC1773 uses a constant frequency, current mode  
step-downarchitecturetodriveanexternalpairofcomple-  
mentary power MOSFETs. During normal operation, the  
externaltopP-channelpowerMOSFETturnsoneachcycle  
when the oscillator sets the RS latch, and turns off when  
the current comparator ICOMP resets the RS latch. The  
peak inductor current at which ICOMP resets the RS latch  
is controlled by the voltage on the ITH pin, which is the  
output of error amplifier EA. The VFB pin, described in the  
Pin Functions section, allows EA to receive an output  
feedback voltage from an external resistive divider. When  
the load current increases, it causes a slight decrease in  
the feedback voltage relative to the 0.8V reference, which  
in turn causes the ITH voltage to increase until the average  
inductor current matches the new load current. While the  
top P-channel MOSFET is off, the bottom N-channel  
MOSFET is turned on until either the inductor current  
starts to reverse, as indicated by the current reversal  
comparator IRCMP, or the beginning of the next cycle.  
When the converter operates in Burst Mode operation the  
peak current of the inductor is set to approximately a third  
of the maximum peak current value during normal opera-  
tioneventhoughthevoltageattheITH pinindicatesalower  
value. The voltage at the ITH pin drops when the inductor’s  
average current is greater than the load requirement. As  
the ITH voltage drops below 0.22V, the BURST compara-  
tor trips, causing the internal sleep line to go high and turn  
off both power MOSFETs.  
The circuit enters sleep mode with both power MOSFETs  
turned off. In sleep mode, the internal circuitry is partially  
turned off, reducing the quiescent current to about 80µA.  
The load current is now being supplied from the output  
capacitor. When the output voltage drops, causing ITH to  
rise above 0.27V, the internal sleep line goes low, and the  
LTC1773 resumes normal operation. The next oscillator  
cycle will turn on the external top MOSFET and the switch-  
ing cycle repeats.  
The main control loop is shut down by pulling the RUN/SS  
pin low. Releasing RUN/SS allows an internal 1.5µA  
current source to charge the external soft-start capacitor  
CSS. When CSS reaches 0.7V, the main control loop is  
enabled with the internal buffered ITH voltage clamped at  
approximately 5% of its maximum value. As CSS contin-  
ues to charge, the internal buffered ITH is gradually re-  
leased allowing normal operation to resume.  
Short-Circuit Protection  
Whentheoutputisshortedtoground, thefrequencyofthe  
oscillator is reduced to about 55kHz, 1/10 the nominal  
frequency. This frequency foldback ensures that the in-  
ductorcurrenthasmoretimetodecay, therebypreventing  
runaway. The oscillator’s frequency will gradually in-  
crease to 550kHz after VFB rises above 0.4V.  
An overvoltage comparator, 0V, guards against transient  
overshoots (>7.5%) as well as other more serious condi-  
tions that may overvoltage the output. In this case, the top  
MOSFETisturnedoffandthebottomMOSFETisturnedon  
until the overvoltage condition is cleared.  
Frequency Synchronization  
The LTC1773 can be synchronized with an external TTL/  
CMOS compatible clock signal. The frequency range of  
this signal must be from 585kHz to 750kHz. Do not  
synchronizetheLTC1773below585kHzasthismaycause  
abnormal operation and an undesired frequency spec-  
trum. The top MOSFET turn-on follows the rising edge of  
the external source.  
Burst Mode Operation  
The LTC1773 is capable of Burst Mode operation in which  
the external power MOSFETs operate intermittently based  
on load demand. To enable Burst Mode operation, simply  
allow the SYNC/FCB pin to float or connect it to a logic  
high. To disable Burst Mode operation and force continu-  
ous mode, connect the SYNC/FCB pin to GND. The thresh-  
old voltage between Burst Mode operation and forced  
continuous mode is 0.8V. This can be used to assist in  
When the LTC1773 is clocked by an external source, Burst  
Mode operation is disabled; the LTC1773 then operates in  
PWM pulse skipping mode preventing current reversal. In  
this mode, when the output load is very low, current  
comparatorICOMP remainstrippedformorethanonecycle

andforcesthemainswitchtostayoffforthesamenumber  
of cycles. Increasing the output load current slightly,  
above the minimum required for discontinuous conduc-  
tion mode, allows constant frequency PWM.  
Low Supply Operation  
The LTC1773 is designed to operate down to a 2.65V  
supply voltage. For proper operation at this low input  
voltage, sub-logic level MOSFETs are required. When the  
value of the output voltage is very close to the input  
voltage, the converter is running at high duty cycles or in  
dropout where the main switch is on continuously. See  
Efficiency Considerations in the Applications Information  
section.  
Frequency synchronization is inhibited when the feedback  
voltage, VFB, is below 0.6V. This prevents the external  
clock from interfering with the frequency foldback for  
short-circuit protection.  
Dropout Operation  
Slope Compensation and Inductor Peak Current  
When the input supply voltage decreases toward the  
output voltage, the duty cycle increases toward the maxi-  
mum on-time. Further reduction of the supply voltage  
forces the main switch to remain on for more than one  
cycle until it reaches 100% duty cycle. The output voltage  
will then be determined by the input voltage minus the IR

Slope compensation provides stability by preventing

conditions in which the duty cycle is below 30%. As a  
result, the maximum inductor peak current is lower for  
VOUT/VIN > 0.3 than when VOUT/VIN < 0.3.  
Undervoltage Lockout  
To compensate for this loss in maximum inductor peak  
current during high duty cycles, the LTC1773 uses a  
patent pending scheme that raises the ITH clamp level  
(proportional to the amount of slope compensation) when  
duty cycle is above 30%.

Power MOSFET and Schottky Diode Selection  
Two external power MOSFETs must be selected for use  
with the LTC1773: a P-channel MOSFET for the top (main)  
switch, and an N-channel MOSFET for the bottom (syn-  
chronous) switch.  
Accepting larger values of IL allows the use of lower  
inductances, but results in higher output voltage ripple  
and greater core losses. A reasonable starting point for  
setting ripple current is 30% to 40% of IMAX. Remember,  
the maximum IL occurs at the maximum input voltage.  
The peak-to-peak gate drive levels are set by the VIN  
voltage. Therefore, for VIN > 5V, logic-level threshold  
MOSFETs should be used. But, for VIN < 5V, sub-logic  
level threshold MOSFETs (VGS(TH) < 3V) should be used.  
In these applications, make sure that the VIN to the  
LTC1773 is less than 8V because the absolute maximum  
VGS rating of the majority of these sub-logic threshold  
MOSFETs is 8V.  
The inductor value also has an effect on Burst Mode  
operation. The transition to low current operation begins  
when the inductor current peaks fall to approximately 1/3  
its original value. Lower inductor values (higher IL) will  
causethistooccuratlowerloadcurrents,whichcancause  
a dip in efficiency in the upper range of low current  
operation. In Burst Mode operation, lower inductance  
values will cause the burst frequency to increase.

charge. When the LTC1773 is operating in continuous  
mode the duty cycles for the top and bottom MOSFETs are  
given by:  
Once the value for L is known, the type of inductor must be  
selected. High efficiency converters generally cannot af-  
ford the core loss found in low cost powdered iron cores,  
forcing the use of more expensive ferrite, molypermalloy,  
or Kool Mµ® cores. Actual core loss is independent of core  
size for a fixed inductor value, but it is very dependent on  
inductance selected. As inductance increases, core losses  
go down. Unfortunately, increased inductance requires  
more turns of wire and therefore copper losses will in-  
crease. Ferrite designs have very low core losses and are  
preferred at high switching frequencies, so design goals  
canconcentrateoncopperlossandpreventingsaturation.  
Ferrite core material saturates “hard”, which means that  
inductance collapses abruptly when the peak design cur-  
rent is exceeded. This results in an abrupt increase in

OUT Selection  
The selection of COUT is driven by the required effective  
series resistance (ESR). Typically, once the ESR require-  
ment is satisfied the capacitance is adequate for filtering.  
The output ripple (VOUT) is determined by:  
Typical gate charge for the selected P-channel MOSFET  
should be less than 30nC (at 4.5VGS) while the turn-off  
delay should be less than 150ns. However, due to differ-  
encesintestandspecificationmethodsofvariousMOSFET  
manufacturers, the P-channel MOSFET ultimately should  
be evaluated in the actual LTC1773 application circuit to  
ensure proper operation.

where f = operating frequency, COUT = output capacitance  
and IL = ripple current in the inductor. The output ripple  
is highest at maximum input voltage since IL increases  
with input voltage. With IL = 0.4IOUT(MAX) and allowing  
for 2/3 of the ripple due to ESR, the output ripple will be  
less than 50mV at max VIN assuming:  
A Schottky diode can be placed in parallel with the syn-  
chronous MOSFET to improve efficiency. It conducts  
during the dead-time between the conduction of the two  
power MOSFETs. This prevents the body diode of the  
bottom MOSFET from turning on and storing charge  
during the dead-time, which could cost as much as 1% in  
efficiency. A 1A Schottky is generally a good size for 5A to  
8A regulators due to the relatively small average current.  
Larger diodes result in additional transition losses due to  
their larger junction capacitance. The diode may be omit-  
ted if the efficiency loss can be tolerated.

Run/Soft-Start Function  
The RUN/SS pin is a dual purpose pin that provides the  
soft-startfunctionandameanstoshutdowntheLTC1773.  
Soft-start reduces surge currents from VIN by gradually  
increasing the internal current limit. Power supply se-  
quencing can also be accomplished using this pin.  
Manufacturers such as Nichicon, United Chemicon and  
Sanyoshouldbeconsideredforhighperformancethrough-  
hole capacitors. The OS-CON semiconductor dielectric  
capacitor available from Sanyo has the lowest ESR/size  
ratio of any aluminum electrolytic at a somewhat higher  
price. Once the ESR requirement for COUT has been met,  
the RMS current rating generally far exceeds the  
An internal 1.5µA current source charges up an external  
capacitor CSS. When the voltage on RUN/SS reaches 0.7V  
the LTC1773 begins operating. As the voltage on RUN/SS  
continues to ramp from 0.7V to 1.8V, the ITH clamp is also  
ramped at a proportionally linear rate. Depending on the  
external RSENSE used, the peak inductor current, and thus  
the internal current limit, rises with the RUN/SS voltage.  
The output current thus ramps up slowly, charging the  
output capacitor. If RUN/SS has been pulled all the way to  
ground, there will be a delay before the current starts  
increasing and is given by:

critical that the capacitors are surge tested for use in

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Synchronous switching removes the normal limitation  
that power must be drawn from the inductor primary  
winding in order to extract power from auxiliary windings.  
With continuous synchronous operation, power can be  
drawn from the auxiliary windings without regard to the  
primary output load.  
Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce  
losses, four main sources usually account for most of the  
lossesinLTC1773circuits:VIN quiescentcurrent, external  
power MOSFET gate charge current, I2R losses, and  
topside MOSFET transition losses.  
1. The VIN quiescent current is due to the DC bias current  
as given in the electrical characteristics, it excludes  
MOSFETdriverandcontrolcurrents.VIN currentresults  
in a small loss which increases with VIN.

secondary regulated voltage, VSEC, in Figure 5 is given by:  
2. The external MOSFET gate charge current results from  
switching the gate capacitance of the external power  
MOSFET switches. Each time the gate is switched from  
high to low to high again, a packet of charge dQ moves  
from VIN to ground. The resulting dQ/dt is the current  
out of VIN; it is typically larger than the DC bias current.  
In continuous mode, IGATECHG = f(QT + QB) where QT  
and QB are the gate charges of the external main and  
synchronous switches. Both the DC bias and gate  
charge losses are proportional to VIN and thus their  
effects will be more pronounced at higher supply volt-  
ages.

and the external inductor (RL). In continuous mode, the  
average output current flowing through inductor L is

datasheets. Thus, to obtain I2R losses, simply add RSW  
and RL together and multiply their sum by the square of  
the average output current.  
Efficiency Considerations  
The efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to the  
output power divided by the input power times 100%. It is  
oftenusefultoanalyzeindividuallossestodeterminewhat  
is limiting the efficiency and which change would produce  
the most improvement. Efficiency can be expressed as:

increase when operating at high input voltages and

estimated from:

bandwidth of the loop will be increased by decreasing CC.  
If RC is increased by the same factor that CC is decreased,  
the zero frequency will be kept the same, thereby keeping  
the phase shift the same in the most critical frequency  
range of the feedback loop. The output voltage settling  
behavior is related to the stability of the closed-loop  
system and will demonstrate the actual overall supply  
performance. For a detailed explanation of optimizing the  
compensation components, including a review of control  
loop theory, refer to Application Note 76.  
Checking Transient Response  
The regulator loop response can be checked by looking at  
the load transient response. Switching regulators take  
several cycles to respond to a step in load current. When  
a load step occurs, VOUT immediately shifts by an amount  
equal to (ILOAD)(ESR), where ESR is the effective series  
resistance of COUT. ILOAD also begins to charge or dis-  
chargeCOUT, whichgeneratesafeedbackerrorsignal. The  
regulator loop then returns VOUT to its steady-state value.  
During this recovery time, VOUT can be monitored for  
overshoot or ringing. OPTI-LOOP compensation allows  
the transient response to be optimized over a wide range  
of output capacitance and ESR values. The availability of  
the ITH pin not only allows optimization of control loop  
behavior but also provides a DC coupled and an AC filtered  
closed-loop response test point. The DC step, rise time  
and settling at this test point reflects the closed loop  
response. Assuming a predominantly second order sys-  
tem, phase margin and/or damping factor can be esti-  
mated using the percentage of overshoot seen at this pin.  
The bandwidth can also be estimated by examining the  
rise time at the pin. The ITH external components shown in  
the Figure 1 circuit will provide an adequate starting point  
for most applications.  
A second, more severe transient is caused by switching in  
loads with large (>1µF) supply bypass capacitors. The  
dischargedbypasscapacitorsareeffectivelyputinparallel  
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  
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.  
Minimum On-Time Considerations  
Minimum on-time, tON(MIN), is the smallest amount of  
time that the LTC1773 is capable of turning the top  
MOSFET on and off again. It is determined by internal  
timing delays and the gate charge required to turn on the  
top MOSFET. The minimum on-time for the LTC1773 is  
about 250ns. Low duty cycle and high frequency synchro-  
nous applications may approach this minimum on-time  
limit and care should be taken to ensure that:  
The ITH series RC-CC filter sets the dominant pole-zero  
loop compensation. The values can be modified slightly  
(from 0.5 to 2 times their suggested values) to optimize  
transient response once the final PC layout is done and the  
particular output capacitor type and value have been  
determined. The output capacitors need to be decided  
upon because the various types and values determine the  
loop feedback factor gain and phase. An output current  
pulseof20%to100%offullloadcurrenthavingarisetime  
of 1µs to 10µs will produce output voltage and ITH pin  
waveforms that will give a sense of the overall loop  
stability without breaking the feedback loop. The initial  
outputvoltagestepmaynotbewithinthebandwidthofthe  
feedback loop, so the standard second order overshoot/  
DC ratio cannot be used to determine phase margin. The  
gain of the loop will be increased by increasing RC, and the

but the ripple current and ripple voltage will increase.  
If an application can operate close to the minimum on-  
time limit, an inductor must be chosen that has low  
enough inductance to provide sufficient ripple amplitude  
to meet the minimum on-time requirement. As a general  
rule, keep the inductor ripple current equal or greater than  
30% of the IOUT(MAX) at VIN(MAX).

PC Board Layout Checklist  
Design Example  
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following  
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of the  
LTC1773. These items are also illustrated graphically in  
the layout diagram of Figure 6. Check the following in your  
layout:  
As a design example, assume the LTC1773 is used in a  
single lithium-ion battery powered cellular phone applica-  
tion. The VIN will be operating from a maximum of 4.2V  
down to about 2.7V. The load current requirement is a  
maximum of 2A but most of the time it will be on standby  
mode, requiring only 2mA. Efficiency at both low and high  
load currents is important. Output voltage is 2.5V. With  
this information we can calculate RSENSE to be around  
33m. For the inductor L, using equation (1),  
1) Are the signal and power grounds segregated? The  
LTC1773 signal ground consists of the resistive divider,  
the compensation network and CSS. The power ground  
consists of the (–) plate of CIN, the (–) plate of COUT, the  
source of the external synchronous NMOS, and Pin 5 of  
the LTC1773. The power ground traces should be kept  
short, direct and wide. Connect the synchronous  
MOSFETs source directly to the input capacitor ground.

A 2.5µH inductor works well for this application. For good  
efficiency choose a 4A inductor with less than 0.1series  
resistance.  
3) Does the (+) terminal of CIN connect to VIN as closely as  
possible? This capacitor provides the AC current to the  
external power MOSFETs.  
CIN will require an RMS current rating of at least 1A at  
temperature and COUT will require an ESR of less than  
0.066. In most applications, the requirements for these  
capacitors are fairly similar.

sensitive small-signal nodes, especially from the voltage
