LTC3414
4A, 4MHz, Monolithic
Synchronous Step-Down Regulator
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
3414 is a high efficiency monolithic synchro-
nous, step-down DC/DC converter utilizing a constant
frequency, current mode architecture. It operates from an
input voltage range of 2.25V to 5.5V and provides a
regulated output voltage from 0.8V to 5V while delivering
up to 4A of output current. The internal synchronous
power switch with 67mΩ on-resistance increases effi-
ciency and eliminates the need for an external Schottky
diode. Switching frequency is set by an external resistor or
can be synchronized to an external clock. 100% duty cycle
provides low dropout operation extending battery life in
portable systems. OPTI-LOOP
®
compensation allows the
transient response to be optimized over a wide range of
loads and output capacitors.
The LTC3414 can be configured for either Burst Mode
operation or forced continuous operation. Forced continu-
ous operation reduces noise and RF interference while
Burst Mode operation provides high efficiency by reduc-
ing gate charge losses at light loads. In Burst Mode
operation, external control of the burst clamp level allows
the output voltage ripple to be adjusted according to the
requirements of the application.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC3414E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LTC3414I is guaranteed over the full
–40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. The LTC3414MP is
guaranteed over the full –55°C to 125°C operating tempaerature range.
Note 3:
The LTC3414 is tested in a feedback loop that adjusts V
FB
to
achieve a specified error amplifier output voltage (I
TH
).
Note 4:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
being delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 5:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
as follows: T
J
=T
A
+ (P
D
)(38°C/W)
Note 6:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliabability.

PGND (Pins 1, 10, 11, 20):
Power Ground. Connect this
pin closely to the (–) terminal of C
IN
and C
OUT
.
RT (Pin 2):
Oscillator Resistor Input. Connecting a resistor
to ground from this pin sets the switching frequency.
SYNC/MODE (Pin 3):
Mode Select and External Clock
Synchronization Input. To select Forced Continuous, tie to
SV
IN
. Connecting this pin to a voltage between 0V and 1V
selects Burst Mode operation with the burst clamp set to
the pin voltage.
RUN/SS (Pin 4):
Run Control and Soft-Start Input. Forcing
this pin below 0.5V shuts down the LTC3414. In shutdown
all functions are disabled. Less than 1μA of supply current
is consumed. A capacitor to ground from this pin sets the
ramp time to full output current.
SGND (Pin 5):Signal
Ground. All small signal components
and compensation components should connect to this
ground, which in turn connects to PGND at one point.
NC (Pin 6):
Open. No internal connection.
PV
IN
(Pins 7, 14):
Power Input Supply. Decouple this pin
to PGND with a capacitor.
SW (Pins 8, 9, 12, 13):
Switch Node Connection to
Inductor. This pin connects to the drains of the internal
main and synchronous power MOSFET switches.
NC (Pin 15):
Open. No internal connection.
SV
IN
(Pin 16):
Signal Input Supply. Decouple this pin to
SGND with a capacitor.
PGOOD (Pin 17):
Power Good Output. Open drain logic
output that is pulled to ground when the output voltage is
not within
±7.5%
of regulation point.
I
TH

Error Amplifier Compensation Point. The
current comparator threshold increases with this control
voltage. Nominal voltage range for this pin is from 0.2V to
1.4V with 0.4V corresponding to the zero-sense voltage
(zero current).
V
FB

Feedback Pin. Receives the feedback voltage
from a resistive divider connected across the output.
