8 / 20 page 8 LTC3440 3440fb OPERATIO The LTC3440 provides high efficiency, low noise power for applications such as portable instrumentation. The LTC proprietary topology allows input voltages above, below or equal to the output voltage by properly phasing the output switches. The error amp output voltage on the VC pin determines the output duty cycle of the switches. Since the VC pin is a filtered signal, it provides rejection of frequencies from well below the switching frequency. The low RDS(ON), low gate charge synchronous switches pro- vide high frequency pulse width modulation control at high efficiency. Schottky diodes across the synchronous switch D and synchronous switch B are not required, but provide a lower drop during the break-before-make time (typically 15ns). The addition of the Schottky diodes will improve peak efficiency by typically 1% to 2% at 600kHz. High efficiency is achieved at light loads when Burst Mode operation is entered and when the IC’s quiescent current is a low 25 μA. LOW NOISE FIXED FREQUENCY OPERATION Oscillator The frequency of operation is user programmable and is set through a resistor from the RT pin to ground where: f e R Hz T = ⎛ ⎝⎜ ⎞ ⎠⎟ 610 An internally trimmed timing capacitor resides inside the IC. The oscillator can be synchronized with an external clock applied to the MODE/SYNC pin. A clock frequency of twice the desired switching frequency and with a pulse width between 100ns and 2 μs is applied. The oscillator RT component value required is given by: R f T SW = 81010 • where fSW = desired synchronized switching frequency. For example to achieve a 1.2MHz synchronized switching frequency the applied clock frequency to the MODE/SYNC pin is set to 2.4MHz and the timing resistor, RT, is set to 66.5k (closest 1% value). Error Amp The error amplifier is a voltage mode amplifier. The loop compensation components are configured around the amplifier to provide loop compensation for the converter. The SHDN/SS pin will clamp the error amp output, VC, to provide a soft-start function. Supply Current Limit The current limit amplifier will shut PMOS switch A off once the current exceeds 2.7A typical. The current ampli- fier delay to output is typically 50ns. Reverse Current Limit The reverse current limit amplifier monitors the inductor current from the output through switch D. Once a negative inductor current exceeds – 400mA typical, the IC will shut off switch D. Output Switch Control Figure 1 shows a simplified diagram of how the four internal switches are connected to the inductor, VIN, VOUT and GND. Figure 2 shows the regions of operation for the LTC3440 as a function of the internal control voltage, VCI. The VCI voltage is a level shifted voltage from the output of the error amp (VC pin) (see Figure 5). The output switches are properly phased so the transfer between operation modes is continuous, filtered and transparent to the user. When VIN approaches VOUT the Buck/Boost region is reached where the conduction time of the four switch region is typically 150ns. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the various regions of operation will now be described. Figure 1.
