BFor more information www.analog.comDocument Feedback TYPICAL APPLICATION FEATURES DESCRIPTION 100V VIN and VOUT Synchronous 4-Switch Buck-Boost DC/DC Controller with Pass-Thru The LT®8210 is a 4-switch synchronous buck-boost DC/DC controller that can operate in pass-thru, forced continuous, pulse-skipping and Burst Mode ® operation. Pass-Thru is a feature that passes the input directly to the output when the input is within a user programmable window. Pass-Thru mode eliminates switching losses and EMI along with maximizing efficiency. For input voltages above or below the pass-thru window, the buck or boost regulation loops maintain the output at the set maximum or minimum values, respectively. The GATEVCC driver supply is regulated to 10.6V allow - ing the use of standard-level MOSFETs and can be pow- ered through the EXTVCC pin for improved efficiency. The GATEVCC regulator is back-drive-protected to ride through input brownouts while maintaining regulation. Optional reverse input protection down to –40V can be imple - mented with the addition of a single N-channel MOSFET . The LT8210 includes a precision current sense ampli - fier that can accurately monitor and limit output or input average current. Pass-Thru T ransfer Characteristic (VOUT(BOOST) = 8V, VOUT(BUCK) = 16V)

VIN = 12V, VINP = 12V, VEN/UVLO = 3.3V Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device reliability and lifetime. Note 2: The LT8210E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications from 0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The LT8210I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range. Note 3: Do not apply a voltage or current source to these pins. They must be connected to capacitive loads only, otherwise permanent damage may occur . Note 4: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperature will exceed the maximum operating junction temperature when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction temperature range may impair the device reliability. Note 5: Negative voltages on the SW1, SW2, SNSP1 and SNSN1 pins are limited, in an application, by the body diodes of the external NMOS devices, MB and MC, or parallel Schottky diodes when present. These pins are tolerant of these negative voltages in excess of one diode drop below ground, guaranteed by design. Note 6: Do not force voltage on the VC1, VC2, or SS pin.

  • VINP(MIN) VOUT Inductor Selection The operating frequency and inductor selection are inter- related in that higher operating frequencies allow the use of smaller inductor and capacitor values. The inductor value is inversely related to the ripple current. Typically, the inductor ripple current, ∆IL, is set to 20%to 40% of the maximum inductor current. The minimum inductor value necessary to maintain a desired ripple can be calculated for both buck and boost regions as: L( BUCK) > VOUT • VIN(MAX) − VOUT( ) fSW • IOUT(MAX) • ΔIL % • VIN(MAX) L( BOOST) > VIN(MIN)2 • VOUT − VIN(MIN)( ) fSW • IOUT(MAX) • ΔIL % • VOUT 2 In addition to ripple considerations, the inductance should be large enough to prevent subharmonic oscillations. In a current mode controlled regulator , the current sense loop creates a double pole at half the switching frequency which can degrade system stability when its quality factor (QCS) is much greater than 1.0. The current sense loop damping is a function of the inductor current slope and the internal slope compensating ramp. The LT8210 slope compensation scheme is designed to provide optimal damping of the current sense loop for any input voltage when the inductor value is set to the following value. LOPTIMAL = (260 + (5.5 • VOUT ))•RSENSE • 1 fSW for example : LOPTIMAL(VOUT =12V) = 325 •RSENSE • 1 fSW LOPTIMAL(VOUT =48V) = 525 •RSENSE • 1 fSW This simplifies loop compensation as the current sense loop damping becomes independent of duty cycle and switching region. Selecting LOPTIMAL also optimizes line regulation and line step response. A lower inductance value will increase QCS, and a sufficiently undersized inductor can result in sub- harmonic oscillation for buck duty cycles above 50% and boost duty cycles below 50%. Choose an inductor at least 70% of the calculated optimal value to avoid subharmonic A margin of 20% to 30% on the lower of the two cal- culated R SENSE values is usually recommended. The RSENSE resistor should be a low inductance type so as not to degrade stability. A small low pass filter between RSENSE and the SNSP1 and SNSN1 pins like that shown in Figure 18 is not required but may improve switching edge jitter in some applications. These filter components should be placed near the pins.

  • VOUT VIN ⎟• 1− VOUT VIN ∆VIN is typically chosen at a level acceptable to the user . 100mV to 200mV is a good starting point. The ESR of the input capacitance should be less than: ESR(IN,MAX) < ∆VIN IOUT(MAX) The input RMS current can be approximated by: IIN(RMS) ≈ IOUT(MAX) • VOUT VIN
  • VIN VOUT − 1 This formula has a maximum at V IN = 2VOUT, where IRMS = I OUT(MAX)/2. This simple worst-case condition is commonly used for design because even significant deviations do not offer much relief. The capacitance nec- essary to achieve a desired output ripple, ∆VOUT, can be calculated for the buck and boost switching regions: COUT(BOOST) = IOUT(MAX) • VOUT − VIN(MIN)( ) ∆VOUT • fsw • VOUT COUT(BUCK) = VOUT • VIN(MAX) − VOUT( ) ∆VOUT • fsw 2 • VIN(MAX) • 8 •L The ESR of the output capacitor should be low enough to not significantly increase the ripple voltage: ESR(BOOST) < ∆VOUT • VIN(MIN) IOUT(MAX) • VOUT ESR(BUCK) < ∆VOUT •L • fSW VOUT • 1– VOUT VIN(MAX) COUT should also tolerate the maximum RMS output cur- rent of when operating in the boost region: IOUT(RMS) ≈ IOUT(MAX) • VOUT VIN(MIN) − 1 For both the CIN and COUT capacitors, a good approach for larger values is to use a parallel combination of aluminum electrolytics for bulk capacitance and ceramics for low ESR and to handle the RMS currents. When used together , the percentage of RMS current that will flow through the aluminum electrolytic capacitor can be approximated by the following equation: %IRMS,ALUM ≈ 100% 1+ 2π • fSW •C(CER) •RESR(ALUM)( ) Where RESR(ALUM) is the ESR of the aluminum capacitor and C(CER) is the total value of the ceramic capacitor(s). Ceramic capacitors should be placed near the regulator input and output to suppress high frequency switching spikes. Specifically, the ceramic capacitors on the input should be placed in close proximity to switches A and B, and output ceramics should be placed close to switches C and D. Due to their excellent low ESR characteristics, ceramic capacitors can significantly reduce ripple voltage and help reduce power loss in higher ESR bulk capacitors. X5R and X7R are preferred, as these materials retain their capacitance over wide voltage and temperature ranges. At higher input and output voltages multiple ceramic capaci- tors in parallel may be needed due to limited availability of high voltage, large value ceramic capacitors in standard footprints. In situations with high input and/or output volt- age ripple a RC low-pass filter with time constant of 1μs or greater is recommended for V INP and VOUT inputs to maintain low jitter on switching edges. Bootstrap Capacitors (CBST1, CBST2) The top MOSFET gate drive signals, T G1 and T G2, are driven between their respective BST and SW pin voltages. The BST1 and BST2 voltages are biased from floating bootstrap capacitors CBST1 and CBST2, which are normally recharged from GATEVCC through diodes DBST1 and DBST2 when their respective top MOSFET is off. The bootstrap capacitors CBST1 and C BST2 need to store roughly 100 times the gate charge (Q G) required by top switches A and D. In most situations, a 0.1μF to 0.47μF, X5R or X7R, 25V capacitor is adequate. The bypass capacitance from GATEVCC to ground should be at least ten times the value APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Rev. B For more information www.analog.com of the CBST1, CBST2 capacitors. The rise times of the SW1 and SW2 pins can be slowed down through the addi - tion of series resistors between the respective bootstrap capacitors and the BST1 or BST2 pins. The slowing down of the switch edges can improve overshoot but may also degrade efficiency due to increased transitional losses. Bootstrap Diodes (DBST1, DBST2) Silicon diodes rated for 1A with very fast reverse recov - ery time ( <50ns) are recommended for the bootstrap diodes, DBST1 and DBST2. Although Schottky diodes have the benefit of low forward drops, they can exhibit high reverse current leakage and have the potential for thermal runaway under high voltage and temperature conditions. Make sure that DBST1 and DBST2 have reverse breakdown voltage ratings higher than V INP(MAX) and V OUT(MAX), respectively, and have less than 50μ A of reverse leak - age at the maximum operating temperature. In pass- thru mode low reverse leakage is critical. The bootstrap diode leakage current will have a disproportionate effect on quiescent current due to the limited efficiency of the internal charge pump. For pass-thru use diodes with reverse leakage currents 10μA or less at the maximum operating temperature. In some cases, it can be benefi - cial to add a small resistor (< 5Ω) in series with D BST1 and DBST2. The resistors reduce surge currents in the diodes and can reduce ringing at the SW and BST pins of the IC. Since SW pin ringing is highly dependent on PCB layout, SW pin edge rates and the types of diodes used, careful measurements directly at the SW pins of the IC are recommended. If required, a single resistor can be placed between GATEVCC and the anodes of both DBST1 and DBST2 or by placing separate resistors between the cathodes of each diode and the respective BST pins. Excessive resistance in series with DBST1 and DBST2 can reduce the bootstrap capacitor voltage when the switch B and C on-times are very short and should be avoided. EXTVCC, GATEVCC and VDD GATEVCC is the power supply for the gate drivers and should be bypassed with a minimum 4.7μF, 25V, ceramic capacitor to ground placed close to the pin. Good local APPLICATIONS INFORMATION bypass is necessary to supply the high transient current required by the MOSFET gate drivers. The GATEVCC volt- age is regulated to 10.6V from PMOS low-dropout regula- tors powered from the V INP or EXTVCC pins. VINP is the default power supply but if the voltage on EXTVCC exceeds 8V (typical) and is simultaneously lower than the VINP volt- age, GATEVCC will be regulated from EXTVCC. The LT8210 automatically selects the lower of these two supplies to minimize power dissipation. The comparison criteria is invalid when VINP drops below 8.5V to allow EXTV CC to hold up GATEVCC during input brownouts. EXTVCC can be connected to VOUT or any supply up to 40V for improved system efficiency. If not used, EXTVCC should be tied to ground through a 100k resistor . The maximum current the GATEVCC regulator can supply is typically 110mA at V IN = 12V and drops linearly at higher voltages. This limits the internal power dissipation of the LT8210 to roughly 3W. The GATEV CC current limit foldback helps prevent triggering a thermal shutdown (typically 175 °C) due to excessive internal power dissipation. The current limit should be considered when selecting power MOSFETs and setting the switching frequency. I GATEVCC is domi - nated by gate charge current which reaches a maximum in the buck-boost region when all four power MOSFETs are switching. The peak gate drive current is equal to the product of fSW and the sum of the MOSFET gate charges (QG(TOT) = QG(A) + QG(B) + QG(C) + QG(D)). The GATEVCC pin is backdrive-protected should the voltage on either the VINP or EXTVCC drop below GATEVCC. This can be a useful feature, allowing the LT8210 to maintain operation dur - ing input brownout conditions even when EXTVCC is not used. The length of time GATEVCC is able to ride-through an input transient will depend on I GATEVCC and the size of its bypass capacitor . The GATEVCC regulator is stable with capacitors up to 220μF for flexibility in designing for many millisecond ride-through conditions. The V DD pin is regulated to 3.3V from GATEV CC with a low-dropout PMOS regulator . The VDD pin powers internal low-voltage circuitry within the LT8210 and can source a maximum of 10mA. It should be bypassed with a minimum 2.2μF X5R/X7R capacitor to ground placed close to the pin. The VDD supply is a convenient pull-up rail for the MODE1, MODE2, SYNC, and PWGD pins when tying those inputs

  • 1 RSERIES While beneficial for efficiency, low series resistance leads to high Q and underdamped transient response. Without increasing RSERIES the quality factor can be reduced either by decreasing the inductor value or increasing the output capacitance. A lower inductor value requires operating at a higher switching frequency to maintain ripple per - formance and sub-harmonic stability while switching. Depending on the details of the application this can be a good approach if the input voltage is expected to be within the pass-thru window the majority of the time and lower efficiency due to increased switching losses is not a major concern. Otherwise, increasing the output capacitance is a more or less benign approach for lowering Q other than possibly requiring adjustment to the loop compensa- tion.

Rev. B For more information www.analog.com is limiting the efficiency and which change would produce the most improvement. Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce losses, these are the main sources of losses in LT8210 circuits: 1. Switching Losses. These losses arises from the brief amount of time switch A or switch C spends in the saturated region during SW1, SW2 node transitions, respectively. Power loss depends upon the input volt- age, output voltage, load current, driver strength and MOSFET capacitance, among other factors. See the Power MOSFET Selection section for more details. 2. DC I2R Losses. These arise from the resistances of the MOSFETs, sensing resistors, inductor and PC board traces and cause the efficiency to drop at high output currents. 3. GATEV CC Current. The sum of the MOSFET driver current, VDD pin current and control currents. The GATEVCC regulator’ s power supply voltage times the current represents lost power . This loss can be reduced by supplying GATEV CC current through the EXTVCC pin from a high efficiency source, such as the output or alternate supply if available. Lower Q G MOSFETs can reduce GATEV CC current and power loss as can lowering the switching frequency. 4. C IN and COUT Loss. The input capacitor has the dif - ficult job of filtering the large RMS input current to the regulator in buck mode. The output capacitor has the difficult job of filtering the large RMS output current in boost mode. Both CIN and COUT are required to have low ESR to minimize the AC I 2R loss and sufficient capacitance to prevent the RMS current from causing additional upstream losses in fuses or batteries. 5. Other Losses. Inductor core loss occurs predomi - nately at light loads. 6. When making adjustments to improve efficiency, the input current is the best indicator of changes in effi- ciency. If one makes a change and the input current decreases, then the efficiency has increased. If there is no change in input current, then there is no change in efficiency. PC Board Layout Checklist The basic circuit board layout requires a dedicated ground plane layer . Also, for high current, a multilayer board pro- vides heat sinking for power components.

  • The ground plane layer should not have any traces and should be as close as possible to the layer with the power MOSFETs.
  • Separate the power ground from the signal ground. The power ground should connect to the (–) terminals of CIN, COUT, CGATEVCC, and the sources of switches B and C. All small-signal components and compensa - tion components should connect to a separate signal ground which in turn connects to the PCB ground at one location away from high currents and switching noise. The GND pin and back tab must connect to this signal ground.
  • Place switch A, switch B and the input capacitor(s) in one compact area with short PC trace lengths.
  • Place switch C, switch D and the output capacitor(s) in one compact area with short PC trace lengths.
  • Minimize the routing resistance from the TG1 and BG2 pins to power switches A and C, respectively.
  • Use planes for VIN, VINP, and VOUT to maintain good voltage filtering and to keep power losses low.
  • The SW1 and SW2 planes should be wide enough to provide low resistance connections between the power switches, inductor and sense resistor , but otherwise as compact as possible to minimize parasitic capacitance.
  • Route the inductor current sense traces (SNSP1 / N1) together with minimum PC trace spacing. The optional filter network capacitor between positive and negative sense traces should be as close as possible to the IC. Ensure accurate current sensing with Kelvin connections at the RSENSE resistor . APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

  • Route the average current sense traces (SNSP2/ N2) together with minimum PC trace spacing. Avoid crossing or running parallel to high dV/dT signals. The optional filter network capacitor between posi - tive and negative sense traces should be as close as possible to the IC. Ensure accurate current sensing with Kelvin connections at the RSENSE2 resistor .
  • Keep the high dv/dt nodes SW1, SW2, BST1, BST2, TG1, TG2, SNSP1 and SNSN1 away from sensitive small-signal nodes.
  • Avoid running signal traces parallel to the traces that carry high di/dt current because they can receive inductively coupled voltage noise. This includes the SW1, SW2, TG1, TG2, BG1 and BG2 traces to the controller .
  • Connect the top driver bootstrap capacitor , C BST1, closely to the BST1 and SW1 pins. Connect the top driver bootstrap capacitor , CBST2, closely to the BST2 and SW2 pins.
  • Connect the FB1 and FB2 pin resistor dividers between the (+) terminal of COUT and signal ground. The resis- tor connections should not be along the high current or noise paths.
  • If EXTV CC is connected to V OUT it should have a Kelvin connection to the (+) terminal of C OUT and a ceramic bypass capacitor should be placed close to the EXTVCC pin.
  • Connect the V C1/VC2 pin compensation networks closely to the IC, between V C1/VC2 and the signal ground pins. The capacitor helps to filter the effects of PCB noise and output voltage ripple voltage from the compensation loop.
  • Connect the GATEV CC and V DD bypass capacitors close to the IC. The capacitors carry the MOSFET drivers’ current peaks.
  • Flood all unused areas on all layers with copper . Flooding with copper will reduce the temperature rise of power components. Connect the copper areas to a DC net (e.g., quiet GND). APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
