DESCRIPTION

1.4A, 500kHz Step-Down Switching Regulator The L T®1936 is a current mode PWM step-down DC/DC converter with an internal 1.9A power switch, packaged in a tiny, thermally enhanced 8-lead MSOP. The wide in- put range of 3.6V to 36V makes the L T1936 suitable for regulating power from a wide variety of sources, including automotive batteries, 24V industrial supplies and unregu- lated wall adapters. Its high operating frequency allows the use of small, low cost inductors and ceramic capacitors, resulting in low, predictable output ripple. Cycle-by-cycle current limit, frequency foldback and thermal shutdown provide protection against shorted outputs, and soft-start eliminates input current surge during start-up. T ransient response can be optimized by using external compensation components, or board space can be minimized by using internal compensation. The low current (<2μA) shutdown mode enables easy power management in battery-powered systems. ■ Wide Input Range: 3.6V to 36V ■ Short-Circuit Protected Over Full Input Range ■ 1.9A Guaranteed Minimum Switch Current ■ 5V at 1.4A from 10V to 36V Input ■ 3.3V at 1.4A from 7V to 36V Input ■ 5V at 1.2A from 6.3V to 36V Input ■ 3.3V at 1.2A from 4.5V to 36V Input ■ Output Adjustable Down to 1.20V ■ 500kHz Fixed Frequency Operation ■ Soft-Start ■ Uses Small Ceramic Capacitors ■ Internal or External Compensation ■ Low Shutdown Current: <2μA ■ Thermally Enhanced 8-Lead MSOP Package ■ Automotive Battery Regulation ■ Industrial Control Supplies ■ Unregulated Wall Adapters 3.3V Step-Down Converter Effi ciency VIN 4.5V TO 36V ON OFF 0.22μF 10μH 17.4k 22μF

BOOST (Pin 1): The BOOST pin is used to provide a drive voltage, higher than the input voltage, to the internal bipolar NPN power switch. V IN (Pin 2): The VIN pin supplies current to the L T1936’s internal regulator and to the internal power switch. This pin must be locally bypassed. SW (Pin 3): The SW pin is the output of the internal power switch. Connect this pin to the inductor , catch diode and boost capacitor . GND (Pin 4): Tie the GND pin to a local ground plane below the L T1936 and the circuit components. Return the feedback divider to this pin. SHDN (Pin 5): The SHDN pin is used to put the L T1936 in shutdown mode. Tie to ground to shut down the L T1936. Tie to 2.3V or more for normal operation. If the shutdown feature is not used, tie this pin to the V IN pin. SHDN also provides a soft-start function; see the Applications Infor- mation. Do not drive SHDN more than 5V above V IN. FB (Pin 6): The L T1936 regulates its feedback pin to 1.200V . Connect the feedback resistor divider tap to this pin. Set the output voltage according to V OUT = 1.200V (1 + R1/R2). A good value for R2 is 10k. VC (Pin 7): The VC pin is used to compensate the L T1936 control loop by tying an external RC network from this pin to ground. The COMP pin provides access to an internal RC network that can be used instead of the external components. COMP (Pin 8): To use the internal compensation network, tie the COMP pin to the V C pin. Otherwise, tie COMP to ground or leave it fl oating. Exposed Pad (Pin 9): The Exposed Pad must be soldered to the PCB and electrically connected to ground. Use a large ground plane and thermal vias to optimize thermal performance.

OPERATION (Refer to Block Diagram) The L T1936 is a constant frequency, current mode step- down regulator . A 500kHz oscillator enables an RS fl ip-fl op, turning on the internal 1.9A power switch Q1. An ampli- fi er and comparator monitor the current fl owing between the V IN and SW pins, turning the switch off when this current reaches a level determined by the voltage at V C. An error amplifi er measures the output voltage through an external resistor divider tied to the FB pin and servos the V C pin. If the error amplifi er’s output increases, more current is delivered to the output; if it decreases, less current is delivered. An active clamp (not shown) on the V C pin provides current limit. The VC pin is also clamped to the voltage on the SHDN pin; soft-start is implemented by generating a voltage ramp at the SHDN pin using an external resistor and capacitor . An internal regulator provides power to the control circuitry. This regulator includes an undervoltage lockout to prevent switching when V IN is less than ~3.45V . The SHDN pin is used to place the L T1936 in shutdown, disconnecting the output and reducing the input current to less than 2μA. The switch driver operates from either the input or from the BOOST pin. An external capacitor and diode are used to generate a 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 effi cient opera- tion. The oscillator reduces the L T1936’s operating frequency when the voltage at the FB pin is low. This frequency foldback helps to control the output current during startup and overload.

R2 should be 20k or less to avoid bias current errors. Reference designators refer to the Block Diagram. Table 1. Inductor Vendors

inductance may result in discontinuous mode operation, which is okay but further reduces maximum load current. For details of maximum output current and discontinuous mode operation, see Linear Technology Application Note 44. Finally, for duty cycles greater than 50% (V OUT/VIN > 0.5), there is a minimum inductance required to avoid subharmonic oscillations. Choosing L greater than 1.6 OUT + VD) μH prevents subharmonic oscillations at all duty cycles. Catch Diode A 1A Schottky diode is recommended for the catch diode, D1. The diode must have a reverse voltage rating equal to or greater than the maximum input voltage. The ON Semiconductor MBRM140 is a good choice. It is rated for 1A DC at a case temperature of 110°C and 1.5A at a case temperature of 95°C. Diode Incorporated’s DFLS140L is rated for 1.1A average current; the DFLS240L is rated for 2A average current. The average diode current in an L T1936 application is approximately I OUT (1 – DC). Input Capacitor Bypass the input of the L T1936 circuit with a 4.7μF or higher value ceramic capacitor of X7R or X5R type. Y5V types have poor performance over temperature and ap- plied voltage, and should not be used. A 4.7μF ceramic is adequate to bypass the L T1936 and will easily handle the ripple current. However , if the input power source has high impedance, or there is signifi cant inductance due to long wires or cables, additional bulk capacitance may be necessary. This can be provided with a low performance electrolytic capacitor . Step-down regulators draw current from the input sup- ply in pulses with very fast rise and fall times. The input capacitor is required to reduce the resulting voltage ripple at the L T1936 and to force this very high frequency switching current into a tight local loop, minimizing EMI. A 4.7μF capacitor is capable of this task, but only if it is placed close to the L T1936 and the catch diode; see the PCB Layout section. A second precaution regarding the ceramic input capacitor concerns the maximum input voltage rating of the L T1936. A ceramic input capacitor combined with trace or cable inductance forms a high quality (under damped) tank circuit. If the L T1936 circuit is plugged into a live supply, the input voltage can ring to twice its nominal value, possibly exceeding the L T1936’s voltage rating. This situation is easily avoided; see the Hot Plugging Safety section. For space sensitive applications, a 2.2μF ceramic capaci- tor can be used for local bypassing of the L T1936 input. However , the lower input capacitance will result in in- creased input current ripple and input voltage ripple, and may couple noise into other circuitry. Also, the increased voltage ripple will raise the minimum operating voltage of the L T1936 to ~3.7V . Output Capacitor The output capacitor has two essential functions. Along with the inductor , it fi lters the square wave generated by the L T1936 to produce the DC output. In this role it determines the output ripple, and low impedance at the switching frequency is important. The second function is to store energy in order to satisfy transient loads and stabilize the L T1936’s control loop. Ceramic capacitors have very low equivalent series re- sistance (ESR) and provide the best ripple performance. A good value is: C VOUT OUT = 150 where COUT is in μF . Use X5R or X7R types. This choice will provide low output ripple and good transient response. T ransient performance can be improved with a high value capacitor if the compensation network is also adjusted to maintain the loop bandwidth. A lower value of output capacitor can be used, but transient performance will suffer . With an external compensation network, the loop gain can be lowered to compensate for the lower capacitor value. When using the internal compensa- tion network, the lowest value for stable operation is: C VOUT OUT > 66 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

One method of damping the tank circuit is to add another capacitor with a series resistor to the circuit. In Figure 8b an aluminum electrolytic capacitor has been added. This capacitor’s high equivalent series resistance damps the circuit and eliminates the voltage overshoot. The extra capacitor improves low frequency ripple fi ltering and can slightly improve the effi ciency of the circuit, though it is likely to be the largest component in the circuit. An alternative solution is shown in Figure 8c. A 0.7Ω resistor is added in series with the input to eliminate the voltage overshoot (it also reduces the peak input current). A 0.1μF capacitor improves high frequency fi ltering. This solution is smaller and less expensive than the electrolytic capacitor . For high input voltages its impact on effi ciency is minor , reducing effi ciency by one percent for a 5V output at full load operating from 24V . Other Linear Technology Publications Application Notes 19, 35 and 44 contain more detailed descriptions and design information for buck regulators and other switching regulators. The L T1376 data sheet has a more extensive discussion of output ripple, loop compensation and stability testing. Design Note 100 shows how to generate a bipolar output supply using a buck regulator . Outputs Greater Than 6V For outputs greater than 6V , add a resistor of 1k to 2.5k across the inductor to damp the discontinuous ringing of the SW node, preventing unintended SW current. The 12V Step-Down Converter circuit in the Typical Applica- tions section shows the location of this resistor . Also note that for outputs above 6V , the input voltage range will be limited by the maximum rating of the BOOST pin. The 12V circuit shows how to overcome this limitation using an additional Zener diode. 3.3V Step-Down Converter TYPICAL APPLICATIONS VIN 4.5V TO 36V ON OFF 10μH 17.4k 47μF
