11 / 20 page LT3518 11 3518fe APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Use only ceramic capacitors with X7R, X5R or better dielec- tric as they are best for temperature and DC bias stability of the capacitor value. All ceramic capacitors exhibit loss of capacitance value with increasing DC voltage bias, so it may be necessary to choose a higher value capacitor to get the required capacitance at the operation voltage. Always check that the voltage rating of the capacitor is sufficient. Table 2 shows some recommended capacitor vendors. Table 2.

The external inductor, output capacitor, and the compensa- tion resistor and capacitor determine the loop stability. The inductor and output capacitor are chosen based on performance, size and cost. The compensation resistor and capacitor at VC are selected to optimize control loop stability. For typical LED applications, a 10nF compensation capacitor at VC is adequate, and a series resistor is not required. A compensation resistor may be used to increase the slew rate on the VC pin to maintain tighter regulation of LED current during fast transients on VIN or CTRL. Diode Selection The Schottky diode conducts current during the interval when the switch is turned off. Select a diode rated for the maximum SW voltage. If using the PWM feature for dimming, it is important to consider diode leakage, which increases with the temperature, from the output during the PWM low interval. Therefore, choose the Schottky diode with sufficiently low leakage current. Table 3 has some recommended component vendors. Table 3.

The Exposed Pad of the package is the only GND terminal of the IC and is also important for thermal management of the IC. It is crucial to achieve a good electrical and thermal contact between the Exposed Pad and the ground plane of the board. To reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), it is important to minimize the area of the SW node. Use a GND plane under SW and minimize the length of traces in the high frequency switching path between SW and GND through the diode and the capacitors. Since there is a small DC input bias current to the ISN and ISP inputs, resistance in series with these inputs should be minimized and matched, otherwise there will be an offset. Finally, the bypass capacitor on the VIN supply to the LT3518 should be placed as close as possible to the VIN terminal of the device. Soft-Start For many applications, it is necessary to minimize the inrush current at start-up. The built-in soft-start circuit significantly reduces the start-up current spike and output voltage overshoot. A typical value for the soft-start capacitor is 0.1μF. |
