The LTC
®
1430A is a high power, high efficiency switching
regulator controller optimized for 5V to 1.xV-3.xV applica-
tions. It includes a precision internal reference and an inter-
nal feedback system that can provide output regulation of
±1%
over temperature, load current and line voltage shifts.
The LTC1430A uses a synchronous switching architecture
with two N-channel output devices, eliminating the need for
a high power, high cost P-channel device. Additionally, it
senses output current across the drain-source resistance
of the upper N-channel FET, providing an adjustable cur-
rent limit without an external low value sense resistor.
The LTC1430A includes a fixed frequency PWM oscillator
for low output ripple under virtually all operating condi-
tions. The 200kHz free-running clock frequency can be
externally adjusted from 100kHz to above 500kHz. The
LTC1430A’s maximum duty cycle is typically 93.5% com-
pared to 88% for the LTC1430. This permits 3.3V to 2.xV
conversion using a low power 5V supply. The LTC1430A
features low 350µA quiescent current, allowing greater
than 90% efficiency operation in converter designs from
1A to greater than 50A output current. Shutdown mode
drops the LTC1430A supply current to 1µA.

The
q
denotes specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range.
Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device
pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to ground unless otherwise
specified.
Note 3:
Supply current in normal operation is dominated by the current
needed to charge and discharge the external FET gates. This will vary with
the LTC1430A operating frequency, operating voltage and the external
FETs used.
Note 4:
The I
LIM
amplifier can sink but cannot source current. Under
normal (not current limited) operation, the I
LIM
output current will be zero.
Note 5:
The open-loop DC gain and transconductance from the FB pin
(SENSE

–
floating) to COMP pin will be A
V

respectively.

LTC1430A
PI FU CTIO S
G1 (Pin 1/Pin 1):
Driver Output 1. Connect this pin to the
gate of the upper N-channel MOSFET, Q1. This output will
swing from PV
CC1
to PGND. It will always be low when G2
is high.
PV
CC1
(Pin 2/Pin 2):
Power V
CC
for Driver 1. This is the
power supply input for G1. G1 will swing from PGND to
PV
CC1
. PV
CC1
must be connected to a potential of at least
PV
CC
+ V
GS(ON)
(Q1). This potential can be generated using
an external supply or a simple charge pump connected to
the switching node between the upper MOSFET and the
lower MOSFET; see Applications Information for details.
PGND (Pin 3/Pin 3):
Power Ground. Both drivers return to
this pin. It should be connected to a low impedance ground
in close proximity to the source of Q2. 8-lead parts have
PGND and GND tied together at Pin 3.
GND (Pin 4/Pin 3):
Signal Ground. All low power internal
circuitry returns to this pin. To minimize regulation errors
due to ground currents, GND should be connected to
PGND right at the LTC1430A. 8-lead parts have PGND and
GND tied together internally at Pin 3.
SENSE
–
, FB, SENSE
+
(Pins 5, 6, 7/Pin 4):
These three
pins connect to the internal resistor divider and to the
internal feedback node. To use the internal divider to set
the output voltage to 3.3V, connect SENSE
+
to the positive
terminal of the output capacitor and SENSE
–
to GND. FB
should be left floating in applications that use the internal
divider. To use an external resistor divider to set the output
voltage, float SENSE
+
and SENSE
–
and connect the exter-
nal resistor divider to FB.
SHDN (Pin 8/Pin 5):
Shutdown. A TTL compatible low
level at SHDN for longer than 50µs puts the LTC1430A into
shutdown mode. In shutdown, G1 and G2 go low, all
internal circuits are disabled and the quiescent current
drops to 10µA max. A TTL compatible high level at SHDN
allows the part to operate normally.
SS (Pin 9/NA):
Soft Start. The SS pin allows an external
capacitor to be connected to implement a soft start func-
tion. An external capacitor from SS to ground controls the
start-up time and also compensates the current limit loop,
allowing the LTC1430A to enter and exit current limit
cleanly. See Applications Information for more details.
U
U
U
(16-Lead Package/8-Lead Package)
COMP (Pin 10/Pin 6):
External Compensation. The COMP
pin is connected directly to the output of the error amplifier
and the input of the PWM. An RC network is used at this
node to compensate the feedback loop to provide opti-
mum transient response. See Applications Information for
compensation details.
FREQSET (Pin 11/NA):
Frequency Set. This pin is used to
set the free running frequency of the internal oscillator.
With the pin floating, the oscillator runs at about 200kHz.
A resistor from FREQSET to ground will speed up the
oscillator; a resistor to V
CC
will slow it down. See Applica-
tions Information for resistor selection details.
I
MAX
(Pin 12/NA):
Current Limit Set. I
MAX
sets the thresh-
old for the internal current limit comparator. If I
FB
drops
below I
MAX
with G1 on, the LTC1430A will go into current
limit. I
MAX
has a 12µA pull-down to GND. It can be adjusted
with an external resistor to PV
CC
or an external voltage
source.
I
FB
(Pin 13/NA):
Current Limit Sense. Connect to the
switched node at the source of Q1 and the drain of Q2
through a 1k resistor. The 1k resistor is required to prevent
voltage transients from damaging I
FB
. This pin can be
taken up to 18V above GND without damage.
V
CC
(Pin 14/Pin 7):
Power Supply. All low power internal
circuits draw their supply from this pin. Connect to a clean
power supply, separate from the main PV
CC
supply at the
drain of Q1. This pin requires a 4.7µF or greater bypass
capacitor. 8-lead parts have V
CC
and PV
CC2
tied together
at Pin 7 and require at least a 10µF bypass to GND.
PV
CC2
(Pin 15/Pin 7):
Power V
CC
for Driver 2. This is the
power supply input for G2. G2 will swing from GND to
PV
CC2
. PV
CC2
is usually connected to the main high power
supply. 8-lead parts have V
CC
and PV
CC2
tied together at
Pin 7 and require at least a 10µF bypass to GND.
G2 (Pin 16/Pin 8):
Driver Output 2. Connect this pin to the
gate of the lower N-channel MOSFET, Q2. This output will
swing from PV
CC2
to PGND. It will always be low when G1
is high.
