8 / 16 page 8 LTC3406 LTC3406-1.5/LTC3406-1.8 3406fa APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO The basic LTC3406 application circuit is shown in Figure 1. External component selection is driven by the load require- ment and begins with the selection of L followed by CIN and COUT. Inductor Selection For most applications, the value of the inductor will fall in the range of 1µH to 4.7µH. Its value is chosen based on the desired ripple current. Large value inductors lower ripple current and small value inductors result in higher ripple currents. Higher VIN or VOUT also increases the ripple current as shown in equation 1. A reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is ∆IL = 240mA (40% of 600mA). ∆ = ()( ) − ⎛ ⎝ ⎜ ⎞ ⎠ ⎟ I fL V V V L OUT OUT IN 1 1 (1) The DC current rating of the inductor should be at least equal to the maximum load current plus half the ripple current to prevent core saturation. Thus, a 720mA rated inductor should be enough for most applications (600mA + 120mA). For better efficiency, choose a low DC-resis- tance inductor. The inductor value also has an effect on Burst Mode operation. The transition to low current operation begins when the inductor current peaks fall to approximately 200mA. Lower inductor values (higher ∆IL) will cause this to occur at lower load currents, which can cause a dip in efficiency in the upper range of low current operation. In Burst Mode operation, lower inductance values will cause the burst frequency to increase. Inductor Core Selection Different core materials and shapes will change the size/ current and price/current relationship of an inductor. Toroid or shielded pot cores in ferrite or permalloy mate- rials are small and don’t radiate much energy, but gener- ally cost more than powdered iron core inductors with similar electrical characteristics. The choice of which style Table 1.

Table 1 shows some typical surface mount inductors that work well in LTC3406 applications. CIN and COUT Selection In continuous mode, the source current of the top MOSFET is a square wave of duty cycle VOUT/VIN. To prevent large voltage transients, a low ESR input capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current must be used. The maximum RMS capacitor current is given by: CI VV V V IN OMAX OUT IN OUT IN required IRMS ≅ − () [] 12 / This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where IRMS = IOUT/2. This simple worst-case condition is com- monly used for design because even significant deviations do not offer much relief. Note that the capacitor manufacturer’s ripple current ratings are often based on 2000 hours of life. This makes it advisable to further derate the capacitor, or choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than required. Always consult the manufac- turer if there is any question. |
