The devices operate from a wide input supply range of. to 8V. The LT30-3.3 and LT30-5 generate regulated outputs of 3.3V and and the adjustable LT30 can deliver output voltages up to 2. Quiescent current, 20µA in active mode, decreases to just 0µA in shutdown with the low-battery detector still active. Peak switch current, internally set at A, can be reduced by adding a single resistor from the pin to ground. The high speed operation of the LT30 allows the use of small, surface-mountable inductors and capacitors. The LT30 is available in an 8-lead SO package., LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

LT30/LT30-3.3/LT30-5 OPERATIO The LT30 s operation can best be understood by examining the block diagram in Figure. Comparator A monitors the output voltage via resistor divider string R3/R at the FB pin. When V FB is higher than the.2v reference, A2 and the timers are turned off. Only the reference, A and A3 consume current, typically 20µA. As V FB drops below.2v plus A s hysteresis (about 6mV), A enables the rest of the circuit. Power switch Q is then cycled on for 6µs, or until current comparator A2 turns off the ON timer, whichever comes first. Off-time is fixed at approximately.5µs. Q s switching causes current to alternately build up in inductor L and discharge into output capacitor C2 via D, increasing the output voltage. As V FB increases enough to overcome C s hysteresis, switching action ceases. C2 is left to supply current to the load until V OT decreases enough to force A s output high, and the entire cycle repeats. If switch current reaches A, causing A2 to trip, switch ON time is reduced. This allows continuous mode operation during bursts. A2 monitors the voltage across 7.2Ω resistor R, which is directly related to the switch current. Q2 s collector current is set by the emitter-area ratio to 0.5% of Q s collector current. R s voltage drop exceeds 36mV, corresponding to A switch current, A2 s output goes high, truncating the ON time part of the switch cycle. The A peak current can be reduced by tying a resistor between the pin and ground, causing a voltage drop to appear across R2. The drop offsets some of the 36mV reference voltage, lowering peak current. A 22k resistor limits current to approximately 550mA. A capacitor connected between and ground provides soft start. Shutdown is accomplished by grounding the pin. The low-battery detector A3 has its own.7v reference and is always on. The open collector output device can sink up to 500µA. Approximately 35mV of hysteresis is built into A3 to reduce buzzing as the battery voltage reaches the trip level. Inductor Selection Inductors used with the LT30 must be capable of handling the worst-case peak switch current of.2a without saturating. Open flux rod or drum core units may be biased into saturation by 20% with only a small reduction in efficiency. For the majority of 2-cell or 3-cell input LT30 applications, a 22µH or 20µH inductor such as the Sumida CD5-220 (drum) or Coiltronics CTX20- (toroid) will suffice. If switch current is reduced using the pin, smaller inductors such as the Sumida CD3 series or Coilcraft DO608 series can be used. Minimizing DCR is important for best efficiency. Ideally, the inductor DCR should be less than 0.05Ω, although the physical size of such an inductor makes its use prohibitive in many space conscious applications. If EMI is a concern, such as when sensitive analog circuitry is present, a toroidal inductor such as the Coiltronics CTX20- is suggested. A special case exists where the V OT / differential is high, such as a 2V to 2V boost converter. If the required duty cycle for continuous mode operation is higher than the LT30 can provide, the converter must be designed for discontinuous operation. This means that the inductor current decreases to zero during the switch OFF time. For a simple step-up (boost) converter, duty cycle can be calculated by the following formula: DC = [( V SAT )/(V OT V D )] where, = Minimum input voltage V SAT = Switch saturation voltage (0.3V) V OT = Output voltage V D = Diode forward voltage (0.V) If the calculated duty cycle exceeds the minimum LT30 duty cycle of 76%, the converter should be designed for discontinuous mode operation. The inductance must be low enough so that current in the inductor reaches the peak current in a single cycle. Inductor value can be calculated by: L = ( V SAT )(t ON /A) where, t ON = Minimum on-time of LT30 (µs) One advantage of discontinuous mode operation is that inductor values are usually quite low so very small units can be used. Ripple current is higher than with continuous mode designs and efficiency will be somewhat less. 6

High quality input bypassing is also required. For surface mount applications AVX TPS series tantalum capacitors are recommended. These have been specifically designed for switch mode power supplies and have low ESR along with high surge current ratings. A, 0V AVX TPS surface mount capacitor typically limits output ripple voltage to 70mV when stepping up from 2V to at a 200mA load. For through hole applications Sanyo OS-CON capacitors offer extremely low ESR in a small package size. Again, if peak switch current is reduced using the pin, capacitor requirements can be eased and smaller, higher ESR units can be used. Suggested capacitor sources are listed in Table 2. Function The LT30 s current limit ( ) pin can be used for soft start. pon start-up, the LT30 will draw maximum current (about A) from the supply to charge the output capacitor. Figure 3 shows V OT and waveforms as the device is turned on. The high current flow can create IR drops along supply and ground lines or cause the input supply to drop out momentarily. By adding R and C as shown in Figure, the switch current is initially limited to well under A as detailed in Figure 5. Current flowing into C from R and the pin will eventually charge C and R effectively takes C out of the circuit. R also provides a discharge path for C when is brought low for turn-off.

LT30/LT30-3.3/LT30-5 OPERATIO If the full power capability of the LT30 is not required, peak switch current can be limited by connecting a resistor R LIM from the pin to ground. With R LIM = 22k, peak switch current is reduced to approximately 500mA. Smaller power components can then be used. The graph in Figure 6 shows switch current vs R LIM resistor value. V OT 2V/DIV I IN 500mA/DIV bypass capacitor is required. If the input supply is close to the IC, a µf ceramic capacitor can be used instead. The LT30 switches current in A pulses, so a low impedance supply must be available. If the power source (for example, a 2 AA cell battery) is within or 2 inches of the IC, the battery itself provides bulk capacitance and the µf ceramic capacitor acts to smooth voltage spikes at switch turn-on and turn-off. If the power source is far away from the IC, inductance in the power source leads results in high impedance at high frequency. A local high capacitance bypass is then required to restore low impedance at the IC. V 0V/DIV ms/div 30 F05 Figure 5. Start-p Response with µf/mω Components in Figure 2 Added.

In situations where the input supply is more than a few inches away from the IC, a 7µF to solid tantalum Low-Battery Detector The LT30 contains an independent low-battery detector that remains active when the device is shut down. This detector, actually a hysteretic comparator, has an open collector output that can sink up to 500µA. The comparator also operates below the switcher s undervoltage lockout threshold, operating until reaches approximately.v. Figure 8 illustrates the input/output characteristic of the detector. Hysteresis is clearly evident in the figure. 8

AA alkaline cells are not perfect power sources. For efficient power transfer, energy must be taken from AA cells at a rate that does not induce excessive loss. AA cells internal impedance, about 0.2Ω fresh and 0.5Ω end-of-life, results in significant efficiency loss at high discharge rates. Figure 0 illustrates battery life vs load current of Figure 9 s LT30, 2-cell to DC/DC converter. Note the accelerated decrease in hours at higher power levels.

Why? As more current is drawn from the battery, voltage drop across the cells internal impedance increases. This causes internal power loss (heating), reducing cell terminal voltage. Since the regulator input acts as a negative resistance, more current is drawn from the battery as the terminal voltage decreases. This positive feedback action compounds the problem.

OPERATIO LT30/LT30-3.3/LT30-5 Figure 2 shows overall energy conversion efficiency, assuming availability of 6.5WH of battery energy. This efficiency approximates the electrical efficiency at load current levels from ma to 0mA, but drops severely at load currents above 0mA (load power above 50mW). The moral of the story is this: if your system needs at more than 0mA to 50mA, consider using a NiCd battery (/0 the internal impedance) instead of a AA cell alkaline battery.
