LT1308A Exhibits Burst Mode Operation Output Voltage Ripple at 50mA Load, LT1308B Does Not OPERATION The LT1308A combines a current mode, fixed frequency PWM architecture with Burst Mode micropower operation to maintain high efficiency at light loads. Operation can be best understood by referring to the block diagram in Figure 2. Q1 and Q2 form a bandgap reference core whose loop is closed around the output of the converter. When VIN is 1V, the feedback voltage of 1.22V, along with an 80mV drop across R5 and R6, forward biases Q1 and Q2’s base collector junctions to 300mV. Because this is not enough to saturate either transistor, FB can be at a higher voltage than VIN. When there is no load, FB rises slightly above 1.22V, causing VC (the error amplifier’s output) to decrease. When VC reaches the bias voltage on hysteretic comparator A1, A1’s output goes low, turning off all circuitry except the input stage, error amplifier and low- battery detector. Total current consumption in this state is 140 μA. As output loading causes the FB voltage to decrease, A1’s output goes high, enabling the rest of the IC. Switch current is limited to approximately 400mA initially after A1’s output goes high. If the load is light, the output voltage (and FB voltage) will increase until A1’s output goes low, turning off the rest of the LT1308A. Low frequency ripple voltage appears at the output. The ripple frequency is dependent on load current and output capaci- tance. This Burst Mode operation keeps the output regu- lated and reduces average current into the IC, resulting in high efficiency even at load currents of 1mA or less. If the output load increases sufficiently, A1’s output remains high, resulting in continuous operation. When the LT1308A is running continuously, peak switch current is controlled by VC to regulate the output voltage. The switch is turned on at the beginning of each switch cycle. When the summation of a signal representing switch current and a ramp generator (introduced to avoid subharmonic oscil- lations at duty factors greater than 50%) exceeds the VC signal, comparator A2 changes state, resetting the flip-flop and turning off the switch. Output voltage increases as switch current is increased. The output, attenuated by a resistor divider, appears at the FB pin, closing the overall loop. Frequency compensation is provided by an external series RC network connected between the VC pin and ground. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Low-battery detector A4’s open-collector output (LBO) pulls low when the LBI pin voltage drops below 200mV. There is no hysteresis in A4, allowing it to be used as an amplifier in some applications. The entire device is dis- abled when the SHDN pin is brought low. To enable the converter, SHDN must be at 1V or greater. It need not be tied to VIN as on the LT1308. The LT1308B differs from the LT1308A in that there is no hysteresis in comparator A1. Also, the bias point on A1 is set lower than on the LT1308B so that switching can occur at inductor current less than 100mA. Because A1 has no hysteresis, there is no Burst Mode operation at light loads and the device continues switching at constant frequency. This results in the absence of low frequency output voltage ripple at the expense of efficiency. The difference between the two devices is clearly illus- trated in Figure 3. The top two traces in Figure 3 shows an LT1308A/LT1308B circuit, using the components indi- cated in Figure 1, set to a 5V output. Input voltage is 3V. Load current is stepped from 50mA to 800mA for both circuits. Low frequency Burst Mode operation voltage ripple is observed on Trace A, while none is observed on Trace B. At light loads, the LT1308B will begin to skip alternate cycles. The load point at which this occurs can be de- creased by increasing the inductor value. However, output ripple will continue to be significantly less than the LT1308A output ripple. Further, the LT1308B can be forced into micropower mode, where IQ falls from 3mA to 200μA by sinking 40 μA or more out of the VC pin. This stops switching by causing A1’s output to go low. |
