Checking Transient Response The regulator loop response can be checked by looking at the load transient response. Switching regulators take several cycles to respond to a step in load current. When a load step occurs, VOUT immediately shifts by an amount equal to (ΔILOAD • ESR), where ESR is the effective series resistance of COUT. ΔILOAD also begins to charge or dis- charge COUT, which generates a feedback error signal. The regulator loop then acts to return VOUT to its steady state value. During this recovery time VOUT can be monitored for overshoot or ringing that would indicate a stability problem. For a detailed explanation of switching control loop theory, see Application Note 76. A second, more severe transient is caused by switching in loads with large (>1μF) supply bypass capacitors. The discharged bypass capacitors are effectively put in paral- lel with COUT, causing a rapid drop in VOUT. No regulator can deliver enough current to prevent this problem if the load switch resistance is low and it is driven quickly. The only solution is to limit the rise time of the switch drive so that the load rise time is limited to approximately (25 • CLOAD). Thus, a 10μF capacitor charging to 3.3V would require a 250μs rise time, limiting the charging current to about 130mA. Board Layout Considerations When laying out the printed circuit board, the following checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of the LTC3409. These items are also illustrated graphically in the layout diagram of Figure 3. Check the following in your layout. 1. Does the capacitor CIN connect to the power VIN (Pins 3, 4) and GND (Exposed Pad) as close as pos- sible? This capacitor provides the AC current to the internal power MOSFETs and their drivers. 2. Are the COUT and L1 closely connected? The (–) plate of COUT returns current to GND and the (–) plate of CIN. 3. The resistor divider, R1 and R2, must be connected between the (+) plate of COUT and a ground sense line terminated near GND (Exposed Pad). The feedback signals VFB should be routed away from noisy compo- nents and traces, such as the SW line (Pins 6), and its trace should be minimized. 4. Keep sensitive components away from the SW pins. The input capacitor CIN and the resistors R1 and R2 should be routed away from the SW traces and the inductors. 5. A ground plane is preferred, but if not available, keep the signal and power grounds segregated with small signal components returning to the GND pin at one point. They should not share the high current path of CIN or COUT. 6. Flood all unused areas on all layers with copper. Flooding with copper will reduce the temperature rise of power components. These copper areas should be connected to VIN or GND. VIN VIN LTC3409 RUN VFB SYNC MODE SW L1 C1 CIN R1 R2 VIN SGND GND COUT 3409 F03 VOUT Figure 3 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION |
