The LT8609S can deliver 2A of continuous cur - rent with peak loads of 3A (<1sec) to support applications such as GSM transceivers which require high transient loads. Top and bottom power switches are included with all necessary circuitry to minimize the need for external components. Low ripple Burst Mode operation enables high efficiency down to very low output currents while keeping the output ripple below 10mV P-P. A SYNC pin allows synchronization to an external clock, or spread spectrum modulation of switching frequencies for low EMI operation. Internal compensation with peak current mode topology allows the use of small inductors and results in fast transient response and good loop stability. The EN/UV pin has an accurate 1V threshold and can be used to program V IN undervoltage lockout or to shut down the LT8609S reducing the input supply current to 1µA. A capacitor on the TR/SS pin programs the output voltage ramp rate during start-up while the PG flag signals when V OUT is within ±8.5% of the programmed output voltage as well as fault conditions. The LT8609S is available in a small 16-lead 3mm × 3mm LQFN package.

For more information www.linear .com/L T8609S pin FuncTions RT (Pin 1): A resistor is tied between RT and ground to set the switching frequency. INTVCC (Pin 2): Internal 3.5V Regulator Bypass Pin. The internal power drivers and control circuits are powered from this voltage. INTV CC max output current is 20mA. Voltage on INTVCC will vary between 2.8V and 3.5V. De- couple this pin to power ground with at least a 1μF low ESR ceramic capacitor . Do not load the INTVCC pin with external circuitry. GND (Pins 3, 4, 8, 14, 17): Exposed Pad Pin. These pads must be connected to the negative terminal of the input capacitor and soldered to the PCB in order to lower the thermal resistance. SW (Pins 5, 6): The SW pin is the output of the internal power switches. Connect this pin to the inductor and boost capacitor. This node should be kept small on the PCB for good performance. N/C (Corner Pins, Pin 7): Connect these pins to the ground plane for improved mechanical performance while temperature cycling. V IN (Pins 9, 10): The VIN pin supplies current to the LT8609S internal circuitry and to the internal topside power switch. This pin must be locally bypassed. Be sure to place the positive terminal of the input capacitor as close as pos - sible to the V IN pins, and the negative capacitor terminal as close as possible to the GND pins. EN/UV (Pin 11): The LT8609S is shut down when this pin is low and active when this pin is high. The hysteretic threshold voltage is 1.05V going up and 1.00V going down. Tie to V IN if the shutdown feature is not used. An external resistor divider from VIN can be used to program a VIN threshold below which the LT8609S will shut down. PG (Pin 12): The PG pin is the open-drain output of an internal comparator. PG remains low until the FB pin is within ±8.5% of the final regulation voltage, and there are no fault conditions. PG is valid when V IN is above 3.2V and EN/UV is high. PG will pull low when VIN is above 3.2V and EN/UV is low. PG will be high impedance when VIN is low. FB (Pin 13): The LT8609S regulates the FB pin to 0.774V. Connect the feedback resistor divider tap to this pin. TR/SS (Pin 15): Output T racking and Soft-Start Pin. This pin allows user control of output voltage ramp rate during start-up. A TR/SS voltage below 0.774V forces the LT8609S to regulate the FB pin to equal the TR/SS pin voltage. When TR/SS is above 0.774V, the tracking function is disabled and the internal reference resumes control of the error amplifier. An internal 2μA pull-up current from INTV CC on this pin allows a capacitor to program output voltage slew rate. This pin is pulled to ground with a 300Ω MOSFET during shutdown and fault conditions; use a series resistor if driving from a low impedance output. SYNC (Pin 16): External Clock Synchronization Input. Ground this pin for low ripple Burst Mode operation at low output loads. Tie to a clock source for synchronization to an external frequency. Leave floating for pulse-skipping mode with no spread spectrum modulation. Tie to INTV CC or tie to a voltage between 3.2V and 5.0V for pulse-skipping mode with spread spectrum modulation. When in pulse- skipping mode, the I Q will increase to several mA.

For more information www.linear .com/L T8609S operaTion The LT8609S is a monolithic constant frequency current mode step-down DC/DC converter. An oscillator with frequency set using a resistor on the RT pin turns on the internal top power switch at the beginning of each clock cycle. Current in the inductor then increases until the top switch current comparator trips and turns off the top power switch. The peak inductor current at which the top switch turns off is controlled by the voltage on the internal VC node. The error amplifier servos the VC node by comparing the voltage on the V FB pin with an internal 0.774V reference. When the load current increases it causes a reduction in the feedback voltage relative to the reference leading the error amplifier to raise the VC volt- age until the average inductor current matches the new load current. When the top power switch turns off the synchronous power switch turns on until the next clock cycle begins or inductor current falls to zero. If overload conditions result in excess current flowing through the bottom switch, the next clock cycle will be delayed until switch current returns to a safe level. If the EN/UV pin is low, the LT8609S is shut down and draws 1µA from the input. When the EN/UV pin is above 1V, the switching regulator becomes active. To optimize efficiency at light loads, the LT8609S enters Burst Mode operation during light load situations. Between bursts, all circuitry associated with controlling the output switch is shut down, reducing the input supply current to 1.7μA. In a typical application, 2.5μA will be consumed from the input supply when regulating with no load. The SYNC pin is tied low to use Burst Mode operation and can be floated to use pulse-skipping mode. If a clock is applied to the SYNC pin the part will synchronize to an external clock frequency and operate in pulse-skipping mode. While in pulse-skipping mode the oscillator oper- ates continuously and positive SW transitions are aligned to the clock. During light loads, switch pulses are skipped to regulate the output and the quiescent current will be several mA. The SYNC pin may be tied high for spread spectrum modulation mode, and the LT8609S will oper- ate similar to pulse-skipping mode but vary the clock frequency to reduce EMI. Comparators monitoring the FB pin voltage will pull the PG pin low if the output voltage varies more than ±8.5% (typical) from the set point, or if a fault condition is present. The oscillator reduces the LT8609S’s operating frequency when the voltage at the FB pin is low. This frequency fold- back helps to control the inductor current when the output voltage is lower than the programmed value which occurs during start-up. When a clock is applied to the SYNC pin the frequency foldback is disabled. Frequency foldback is only enabled when the SYNC pin is tied to ground.

For more information www.linear .com/L T8609S applicaTions inForMaTion Inductor Selection and Maximum Output Current The LT8609S is designed to minimize solution size by al- lowing the inductor to be chosen based on the output load requirements of the application. During overload or short circuit conditions the LT8609S safely tolerates operation with a saturated inductor through the use of a high speed peak-current mode architecture. A good first choice for the inductor value is: L = VOUT + VSW(BOT) fSW where f SW is the switching frequency in MHz, V OUT is the output voltage, V SW(BOT) is the bottom switch drop (~0.25V) and L is the inductor value in μH. To avoid overheating and poor efficiency, an inductor must be chosen with an RMS current rating that is greater than the maximum expected output load of the application. In addition, the saturation current (typically labeled I SAT) rat- ing of the inductor must be higher than the load current plus 1/2 of in inductor ripple current: IL(PEAK) =ILOAD(MAX) + 1 2 ∆L where ∆IL is the inductor ripple current as calculated several paragraphs below and ILOAD(MAX) is the maximum output load for a given application. As a quick example, an application requiring 1A output should use an inductor with an RMS rating of greater than 1A and an I SAT of greater than 1.3A. To keep the ef- ficiency high, the series resistance (DCR) should be less than 0.04Ω, and the core material should be intended for high frequency applications. The LT8609S limits the peak switch current in order to protect the switches and the system from overload faults. The top switch current limit (I LIM) is typically 4.75A at low duty cycles and decreases linearly to 4.0A at D = 0.8. The inductor value must then be sufficient to supply the desired maximum output current (I OUT(MAX)), which is a function of the switch current limit (ILIM) and the ripple current: IOUT(MAX) =ILIM – ∆IL The peak-to-peak ripple current in the inductor can be calculated as follows: ∆IL = VOUT L •fSW 1– VOUT VIN(MAX) where fSW is the switching frequency of the LT8609S, and L is the value of the inductor. Therefore, the maximum output current that the LT8609S will deliver depends on the minimum switch current limit, the inductor value, and the input and output voltages. The inductor value may have to be increased if the inductor ripple current does not allow sufficient maximum output current (I OUT(MAX)) given the switching frequency, and maximum input voltage used in the desired application. The optimum inductor for a given application may differ from the one indicated by this design guide. A larger value inductor provides a higher maximum load current and re- duces the output voltage ripple. For applications requiring smaller load currents, the value of the inductor may be lower and the LT8609S may operate with higher ripple current. This allows use of a physically smaller inductor, or one with a lower DCR resulting in higher efficiency. Be aware that low inductance may result in discontinuous mode operation, which further reduces maximum load current. The internal circuitry of the LT8609S is capable of supplying I OUT(MAX) up to 3A. Thermal limitations of the LT8609S prevent continuous output of 3A loads due to unsafe operating temperatures. In order to ensure safe operat - ing temperature, the average LT8609S current must be kept below 2A, but will allow transient peaks up to 3A or I OUT(MAX). If high average currents cause unsafe heating of the part, the LT8609S will stop switching and indicate a fault condition to protect the internal circuitry.

Finally, for duty cycles greater than 50% (V OUT/VIN > 0.5), a minimum inductance is required to avoid sub-harmonic oscillation. See Application Note 19. Input Capacitor Bypass the input of the LT8609S circuit with a ceramic capacitor of X7R or X5R type. Y5V types have poor performance over temperature and applied voltage, and should not be used. A 4.7μF to 10μF ceramic capacitor is adequate to bypass the LT8609S and will easily handle the ripple current. Note that larger input capacitance is required when a lower switching frequency is used. If the input power source has high impedance, or there is sig- nificant 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 LT8609 S 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 LT8609S (see the PCB Layout sec - tion). A second precaution regarding the ceramic input capacitor concerns the maximum input voltage rating of the LT8609S. A ceramic input capacitor combined with trace or cable inductance forms a high quality (under damped) tank circuit. If the LT8609S circuit is plugged into a live supply, the input voltage can ring to twice its nominal value, possibly exceeding the LT8609S’s voltage rating. This situation is easily avoided (see Linear Technology Application Note 88). Output Capacitor and Output Ripple The output capacitor has two essential functions. Along with the inductor, it filters the square wave generated by the LT8609S to produce the DC output. In this role it determines the output ripple, thus low impedance at the switching frequency is important. The second function is to store energy in order to satisfy transient loads and stabilize the LT8609S’s control loop. Ceramic capacitors have very low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and pro- vide the best ripple performance. A good starting value is: COUT = 100 VOUT •fSW where fSW is in MHz, and COUT is the recommended output capacitance 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 higher value output capacitor and the addition of a feedforward capacitor placed between V OUT and FB. Increasing the output capacitance will also decrease the output voltage ripple. A lower value of output capacitor can be used to save space and cost but transient performance will suffer and may cause loop instability. See the Typical Applications in this data sheet for suggested capacitor values. When choosing a capacitor, special attention should be given to the data sheet to calculate the effective capacitance under the relevant operating conditions of voltage bias and temperature. A physically larger capacitor or one with a higher voltage rating may be required. Ceramic Capacitors Ceramic capacitors are small, robust and have very low ESR. However, ceramic capacitors can cause problems when used with the LT8609S due to their piezoelectric nature. When in Burst Mode operation, the LT8609S’s switching frequency depends on the load current, and at very light loads the LT8609S can excite the ceramic capacitor at audio

Since the LT8609S operates at a lower current limit during Burst Mode operation, the noise is typically very quiet to a casual ear. If this is unacceptable, use a high performance tantalum or electrolytic capacitor at the output. A final precaution regarding ceramic capacitors concerns the maximum input voltage rating of the LT8609S. As previously mentioned, a ceramic input capacitor combined with trace or cable inductance forms a high quality (under damped) tank circuit. If the LT8609S circuit is plugged into a live supply, the input voltage can ring to twice its nominal value, possibly exceeding the LT8609S’s rating. This situation is easily avoided (see Linear Technology Application Note 88). Enable Pin The LT8609S is in shutdown when the EN pin is low and active when the pin is high. The rising threshold of the EN comparator is 1.05V, with 50mV of hysteresis. The EN pin can be tied to V IN if the shutdown feature is not used, or tied to a logic level if shutdown control is required. Adding a resistor divider from V IN to EN programs the LT8609S to regulate the output only when V IN is above a desired voltage (see Block Diagram). Typically, this threshold, VIN(EN), is used in situations where the input supply is current limited, or has a relatively high source resistance. A switching regulator draws constant power from the source, so source current increases as source voltage drops. This looks like a negative resistance load to the source and can cause the source to current limit or latch low under low source voltage conditions. The V IN(EN) threshold prevents the regulator from operating at source voltages where the problems might occur. This threshold can be adjusted by setting the values R3 and R4 such that they satisfy the following equation: VIN(EN) = R3 R4 +1⎛ ⎝⎜ ⎞ ⎠⎟ •1V applicaTions inForMaTion where the LT8609S will remain off until VIN is above VIN(EN). Due to the comparator’s hysteresis, switching will not stop until the input falls slightly below VIN(EN). When in Burst Mode operation for light-load currents, the current through the VIN(EN) resistor network can easily be greater than the supply current consumed by the LT8609S. Therefore, the VIN(EN) resistors should be large to minimize their effect on efficiency at low loads. INTVCC Regulator An internal low dropout (LDO) regulator produces the 3.5V supply from VIN that powers the drivers and the internal bias circuitry. The INTVCC can supply enough current for the LT8609S’s circuitry and must be bypassed to ground with a minimum of 1μF ceramic capacitor. Good bypassing is necessary to supply the high transient currents required by the power MOSFET gate drivers. Applications with high input voltage and high switching frequency will increase die temperature because of the higher power dissipation across the LDO. Do not connect an external load to the INTV CC pin. Output Voltage T racking and Soft-Start The LT8609S allows the user to program its output voltage ramp rate by means of the TR/SS pin. An internal 2μA pulls up the TR/SS pin to INTV CC. Putting an external capaci - tor on TR/SS enables soft-starting the output to prevent current surge on the input supply . During the soft-start ramp the output voltage will proportionally track the TR/SS pin voltage. For output tracking applications , TR/SS can be externally driven by another voltage source. From 0V to 0.774V, the TR/SS voltage will override the internal 0.774V reference input to the error amplifier, thus regulat- ing the FB pin voltage to that of TR/SS pin. When TR/SS is above 0.774V, tracking is disabled and the feedback voltage will regulate to the internal reference voltage.

For more information www.linear .com/L T8609S applicaTions inForMaTion An active pull-down circuit is connected to the TR/SS pin which will discharge the external soft-start capacitor in the case of fault conditions and restart the ramp when the faults are cleared. Fault conditions that clear the soft-start capacitor are the EN/UV pin transitioning low, V IN voltage falling too low, or thermal shutdown. Output Power Good When the LT8609S’s output voltage is within the ±8.5% window of the regulation point, which is a VFB voltage in the range of 0.716V to 0.849V (typical), the output voltage is considered good and the open-drain PG pin goes high impedance and is typically pulled high with an external resistor. Otherwise, the internal drain pull-down device will pull the PG pin low. To prevent glitching both the upper and lower thresholds include 0.5% of hysteresis. The PG pin is also actively pulled low during several fault conditions: EN/UV pin is below 1V, INTV CC has fallen too low, VIN is too low, or thermal shutdown. Synchronization To select low ripple Burst Mode operation, tie the SYNC pin below 0.4V (this can be ground or a logic low output). To synchronize the LT8609S oscillator to an external frequency connect a square wave (with 20% to 80% duty cycle) to the SYNC pin. The square wave amplitude should have valleys that are below 0.9V and peaks above 2.7V (up to 5V). The LT8609S will not enter Burst Mode operation at low output loads while synchronized to an external clock, but instead will pulse skip to maintain regulation. The LT8609S may be synchronized over a 200kHz to 2.2MHz range. The R T resistor should be chosen to set the LT8609S switching frequency equal to or below the lowest synchro- nization input. For example, if the synchronization signal will be 500kHz and higher, the RT should be selected for 500kHz. The slope compensation is set by the R T value, while the minimum slope compensation required to avoid subharmonic oscillations is established by the inductor size, input voltage, and output voltage. Since the syn - chronization frequency will not change the slopes of the inductor current waveform, if the inductor is large enough to avoid subharmonic oscillations at the frequency set by R T, then the slope compensation will be sufficient for all synchronization frequencies. For some applications it is desirable for the LT8609S to operate in pulse-skipping mode, offering two major differ- ences from Burst Mode operation. First is the clock stays aw ake at all times and all switching cycles are aligned to the clock. Second is that full switching frequency is reached at lower output load than in Burst Mode operation as shown in Figure 1b in an earlier section. These two differences come at the expense of increased quiescent current. To enable pulse-skipping mode the SYNC pin is floated. For some applications, reduced EMI operation may be desirable, which can be achieved through spread spectrum modulation. This mode operates similar to pulse skipping mode operation, with the key difference that the switching frequency is modulated up and down by a 3 kHz triangle wave. The modulation has the frequency set by R T as the low frequency, and modulates up to approximately 20% higher than the frequency set by R T. To enable spread spectrum mode, tie SYNC to INTVCC or drive to a voltage between 3.2V and 5V. The LT8609S does not operate in forced continuous mode regardless of SYNC signal. Shorted and Reversed Input Protection The LT8609S will tolerate a shorted output. Several fea - tures are used for protection during output short-circuit and brownout conditions . The first is the switching frequency will be folded back while the output is lower than the set point to maintain inductor current control (only if SYNC = 0V).. Second, the bottom switch current
