9 / 20 page LTC3412A 9 3412afc The operating frequency is externally set by an external resistor connected between the RT pin and ground. The practical switching frequency can range from 300kHz to 4MHz. Overvoltage and undervoltage comparators will pull the PGOOD output low if the output voltage comes out of regulation by ± 7.5%. In an overvoltage condition, the top power MOSFET is turned off and the bottom power MOSFET is switched on until either the overvoltage condition clears or the bottom MOSFET’s current limit is reached. Forced Continuous Mode Connecting the SYNC/MODE pin to SVIN will disable Burst Mode operation and force continuous current operation. At light loads, forced continuous mode operation is less efficient than Burst Mode operation, but may be desirable in some applications where it is necessary to keep switching harmonics out of a signal band. The output voltage ripple is minimized in this mode. Burst Mode Operation Connecting the SYNC/MODE pin to a voltage in the range of 0V to 1V enables Burst Mode operation. In Burst Mode operation, the internal power MOSFETs operate intermit- tently at light loads. This increases efficiency by minimiz- ing switching losses. During Burst Mode operation, the minimum peak inductor current is externally set by the voltage on the SYNC/MODE pin and the voltage on the ITH pin is monitored by the burst comparator to determine when sleep mode is enabled and disabled. When the average inductor current is greater than the load current, the voltage on the ITH pin drops. As the ITH voltage falls below 150mV, the burst comparator trips and enables sleep mode. During sleep mode, the top power MOSFET is held off and the ITH pin is disconnected from the output of the error amplifier. The majority of the internal circuitry is also turned off to reduce the quiescent current to 64μA while the load current is solely supplied by the output capacitor. When the output voltage drops, the ITH pin is reconnected to the output of the error amplifier and the top power MOSFET along with all the internal circuitry is switched back on. This process repeats at a rate that is dependent on the load demand. Pulse Skipping operation is implemented by connecting the SYNC/MODE pin to ground. This forces the burst clamp level to be at 0V. As the load current decreases, the peak inductor current will be determined by the voltage on the ITH pin until the ITH voltage drops below 400mV. At this point, the peak inductor current is determined by the minimum on-time of the current comparator. If the load demand is less than the average of the minimum on-time inductor current, switching cycles will be skipped to keep the output voltage in regulation. Frequency Synchronization The internal oscillator of the LTC3412A can be synchro- nized to an external clock connected to the SYNC/MODE pin. The frequency of the external clock can be in the range of 300kHz to 4MHz. For this application, the oscil- lator timing resistor should be chosen to correspond to a frequency that is 25% lower than the synchronization frequency. During synchronization, the burst clamp is set to 0V, and each switching cycle begins at the falling edge of the clock signal. Dropout Operation When the input supply voltage decreases toward the output voltage, the duty cycle increases toward the maximum on-time. Further reduction of the supply voltage forces the main switch to remain on for more than one cycle eventually reaching 100% duty cycle. The output voltage will then be determined by the input voltage minus the voltage drop across the internal P-channel MOSFET and the inductor. Low Supply Operation The LTC3412A is designed to operate down to an input supply voltage of 2.25V. One important consideration at low input supply voltages is that the RDS(ON) of the P-channel and N-channel power switches increases. The user should calculate the power dissipation when the LTC3412A is used at 100% duty cycle with low input volt- ages to ensure that thermal limits are not exceeded. OPERATIO |
