The LT
®
3436 is an 800kHz monolithic boost switching
regulator. A high efficiency 3A, 0.1Ω switch is included on
the die together with all the control circuitry required to
complete a high frequency, current-mode switching regu-
lator. Current-mode control provides fast transient re-
sponse and excellent loop stability.
New design techniques achieve high efficiency at high
switching frequencies over a wide operating range. A low
dropout internal regulator maintains consistent perfor-
mance over a wide range of inputs from 24V systems to Li-
Ion batteries. An operating supply current of 1mA main-
tains high efficiency, especially at lower output currents.
Shutdown reduces quiescent current to 11µA. Maximum
switch current remains constant at all duty cycles. Syn-
chronization capability allows an external logic level signal
to increase the internal oscillator from 1MHz to 1.4MHz.
Full cycle-by-cycle switch current limit protection and ther-
mal shutdown are provided. High frequency operation al-
lows the reduction of input and output filtering components
and permits the use of tiny chip inductors. The LT3436 is
available in an exposed pad, 16-pin TSSOP package.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT3436E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C. Specifications over the – 40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
Minimum input voltage is defined as the voltage where the internal
regulator enters lockout. Actual minimum input voltage to maintain a
regulated output will depend on output voltage and load current. See
Applications Information.

PIN FUNCTIONS
GND (Pins 1, 5, 6, 8, 9, 16, 17):
Short GND pins 1, 5, 6,8,
9, 16 and the exposed pad (pin 17) on the PCB. The GND
is the reference for the regulated output, so load regulation
will suffer if the “ground” end of the load is not at the same
voltage as the GND of the IC. This condition occurs when
the load current flows through the metal path between the
GND pins and the load ground point. Keep the ground path
short between the GND pins and the load and use a ground
plane when possible. Keep the path between the input
bypass and the GND pins short. The exposed pad should
be attached to a large copper area to improve thermal
performance.
V
IN
(Pin 2):
This pin powers the internal circuitry and
internal regulator. Keep the external bypass capacitor
close to this pin.
SW (Pins 3, 4):
The switch pin is the collector of the on-
chip power NPN switch and has large currents flowing
through it. Keep the traces to the switching components as
short as possible to minimize radiation and voltage spikes.
SHDN (Pin 11):
The shutdown pin is used to turn off the
regulator and to reduce input drain current to a few
microamperes. The 1.35V threshold can function as an
accurate undervoltage lockout (UVLO), preventing the
regulator from operating until the input voltage has reached
a predetermined level. Float or pull high to put the regula-
tor in the operating mode.
FB (Pin 12):
The feedback pin is used to set output voltage
using an external voltage divider that generates 1.2V at the
pin with the desired output voltage. If required, the current
limit can be reduced during start up when the FB pin is
below 0.5V (see the Current Limit Foldback graph in the
Typical Performance Characteristics section). An imped-
ance of less than 5kΩ at the FB pin is needed for this
feature to operate.
V
C
(Pin 13):
The V
C
pin is the output of the error amplifier
and the input of the peak switch current comparator. It is
normally used for frequency compensation, but can do
double duty as a current clamp or control loop override.
This pin sits at about 0.3V for very light loads and 0.9V at
maximum load.
SYNC (Pin 14):
The sync pin is used to synchronize the
internal oscillator to an external signal. It is directly logic
compatible and can be driven with any signal between
20% and 80% duty cycle. The synchronizing range is
equal to
initial
operating frequency, up to 1.4MHz. See
Synchronization section in Applications Information for
details. When not in use, this pin should be grounded.

BLOCK DIAGRAM
The LT3436 is a constant frequency, current-mode boost
converter. This means that there is an internal clock and
two feedback loops that control the duty cycle of the power
switch. In addition to the normal error amplifier, there is a
current sense amplifier that monitors switch current on a
cycle-by-cycle basis. A switch cycle starts with an oscilla-
tor pulse which sets the R
S
flip-flop to turn the switch on.
When switch current reaches a level set by the inverting
input of the comparator, the flip-flop is reset and the
switch turns off. Output voltage control is obtained by
using the output of the error amplifier to set the switch
current trip point. This technique means that the error

amplifier commands current to be delivered to the output
rather than voltage. A voltage fed system will have low
phase shift up to the resonant frequency of the inductor
and output capacitor, then an abrupt 180° shift will occur.
The current fed system will have 90° phase shift at a much
lower frequency, but will not have the additional 90° shift
until well beyond the LC resonant frequency. This makes
it much easier to frequency compensate the feedback loop
and also gives much quicker transient response.
A comparator connected to the shutdown pin disables the
internal regulator, reducing supply current.
