FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
U
The LT
®
1680 is a high power, current mode switching
power supply controller optimized for boost topologies.
The IC drives N-channel MOSFET switches for DC/DC
converters in applications up to 60V input. A high current
gate drive output handles up to 10,000pF gate capaci-
tance, enabling the construction of high power DC/DC
converters. Current sense common mode range up to 60V
allows current sensing to be referenced to the input
supply, eliminating the need for sense blanking circuits.
The LT1680 incorporates programmable average current
limiting allowing accurate limiting of DC current in the
magnetics, independent of ripple current . User adjustable
slope compensation provides stable operation at duty
cycles up to 90%.
The LT1680 operating frequency is programmable and
can be synchronized up to 200kHz. Minimum off-time
operation provides switch protection. The IC also incorpo-
rates a soft start feature that is gated by both shutdown
and undervoltage lockout conditions.

LT1680
OPERATION
U
Basic Control Loop
The LT1680 uses a constant frequency, current mode
architecture. The timing of the IC is provided through an
internal oscillator circuit that can be synchronized to an
external clock and is programmable to operate at frequen-
cies up to 200kHz. The oscillator creates a modified
sawtooth wave at its timing node (C
T
) with a slow charge,
rapid discharge characteristic.
During typical boost converter operation, the MOSFET
switch is enabled at the start of each oscillator cycle. The
switch stays enabled until the current through the switched
inductor, sensed via the voltage across a series sense
resistor (R
SENSE
), is sufficient to trip the current com-
parator (IC1) and reset the RS latch. When the switch is
disabled, the inductor current is redirected to the supply
output. If the current comparator threshold is not reached
throughout the entire oscillator charge period, the RS
latch is bypassed and the main switch is disabled during
the oscillator discharge time. This “minimum off time”
protects the switch, and is typically about 1µs.
The current comparator trip threshold is set on the V
C
pin,
which is the output of a transconductance amplifier, or
error amplifier (EA). The error amplifier integrates the
difference between a feedback voltage (on the V
FB
pin) and
an internal bandgap generated reference voltage of 1.25V,
forming a signal that represents required load current. If
the supplied current is insufficient for a given load, the
output will droop, thus reducing the feedback voltage. The
error amplifier responds by forcing current out of the V
C
pin, increasing the current comparator threshold. Thus,
the circuit will servo until the provided current is equal to
the required load and the average output voltage is at the
value programmed by the feedback resistors.
Input Average Current Limit
The output of the sense amplifier is monitored by a single
pole integrator comprised of an external capacitor on the
I
AVG
pin and an output impedance of approximately 50kΩ.
If this averaged value signal exceeds a level corresponding
to 120mV across the external sense resistor, the current
comparator threshold is clamped and cannot continue to
rise in response to the error amplifier. Thus, if average
input current requirements exceed 120mV/R
SENSE
, the
supply will current limit and the output voltage will fall out
of regulation. The average current limit circuit monitors
the sense amplifier output without slope compensation or
ripple current contributions. Therefore, the average input
current limit threshold is unaffected by duty cycle.
Undervoltage Lockout
The LT1680 employs an undervoltage lockout circuit
(UVLO) that monitors the 12V
IN
supply rail. This circuit
disables the output drive capability of the LT1680 if the
12V supply drops below 9V. Unstable mode switching is
prevented through 350mV of UVLO threshold hysteresis.
Shutdown
The LT1680 can be put into low current shutdown by
pulling the RUN/SHDN pin low, disabling all circuit func-
tions. The shutdown threshold is a bandgap referred
voltage of 1.25V typical. Use of a precision threshold on
the shutdown circuit enables use of this pin for under-
voltage protection of the V
IN
supply and/or power supply
sequencing.
Soft Start
The LT1680 incorporates a soft start function that oper-
ates by slowly increasing current limit. This limit is
controlled by internally clamping the V
C
pin to a low
voltage that climbs with time as an external capacitor on
the SS pin is charged with about 10µA. This forces a
graceful climb of output current source capability, and
thus a graceful increase in output voltage until steady-
state regulation is achieved. The soft start timing capaci-
tor is clamped to ground during shutdown and during
undervoltage lockout, yielding a graceful output recovery
from either condition.
5V Internal Reference
Power for the oscillator timing elements and most other
internal LT1680 circuits is derived from an internal 5V
reference, accessible at the 5V
REF
pin. This supply pin
can be loaded with up to 10mA DC (20mA pulsed) for
convenient biasing of local elements such as control
logic, etc.

Slope Compensation
For duty cycles greater than 50%, slope compensation is
required to prevent current mode duty cycle instability in
the regulator control loop. The LT1680 employs internal
slope compensation that is adequate for most applica-
tions. However, if additional slope compensation is de-
sired, it is available through the SL/ADJ pin. Excessive
slope compensation will cause reduction in maximum
load current capability and is generally not desirable.

Output Voltage Programming
Output voltage is programmed through a resistor feed-
back network to the V
FB
pin (Pin 7) on the LT1680. This pin
is the inverting input of the error amplifier, which is
internally referenced to 1.25V. The divider is ratioed to
provide 1.25V at the V
FB
pin when the output is at its
desired value. Output voltage is thus set following the
relation:
V
OUT
= 1.25V(1 + R2/R1)
when an external resistor divider is connected to the
output as shown in Figure 1.
If high value feedback resistors are used, the input bias
current of the V
FB
pin (1µA maximum) could cause a slight
increase in output voltage. A Thevenin resistance at the
V
FB
pin of <5k is recommended.

Shutdown Function—Input Undervoltage Detect
and Threshold Hysteresis
The LT1680 RUN/SHDN pin uses a bandgap generated
reference threshold of about 1.25V. This precision thresh-
old allows use of the RUN/SHDN pin for both logic-level
shutdown applications and analog monitoring applica-
tions such as power supply sequencing.
Because an LT1680 controlled converter is a power trans-
fer device, a voltage that is lower than expected on the
input supply could require currents that exceed the sourc-
ing capabilities of that supply, causing the system to lock-
up in an undervoltage state. Input supply start-up protection
can be achieved by enabling the RUN/SHDN pin using a
resistor divider from the input supply to ground. Setting
the divider output to 1.25V when the supply is almost fully
enabled prevents the LT1680 regulator from drawing large
currents until the input supply is able to supply the
required power.
If additional hysteresis is desired for the enable function,
an external feedback resistor can be used from the LT1680
regulator output. If connection to the regulator output is
not desired, the 5V
REF
internal supply pin can be used.
Figure 3 shows an input supply sequencing configuration
on a 24V input converter. This configuration yields an
enable condition of 90% V
IN
(~21.5V) with about 10%
threshold hysteresis.
The shutdown function can be disabled by connecting the
RUN/SHDN pin to the 12V
IN
rail. This pin is internally
clamped to 2.5V through a 20k series input resistance and
will therefore draw 0.5mA when tied directly to 12V. This

Average Current Limit
The average current limit function is implemented using
an external capacitor (C
AVG
) connected from I
AVG
to
SGND. This capacitor forms a single pole integrator with
the 50kΩ output impedance of the I
AVG
pin. The integrator
corner frequency is typically set 1 to 2 orders of magnitude
below the oscillator frequency and follows the relation:
f
–3dB
= (3.2)(10
–6
)/C
AVG
The average current limit function can be disabled by
shorting the I
AVG
pin directly to SGND. In some applica-
tions it is theoretically possible for the average current
limit circuit to overdrive the error amplifier output (V
C
pin)
beyond the operating range of the current sense compara-
tor. These applications include those where open-loop
system operation occurs, such as boost regulators in
output short-circuit condition, or in systems with poor
signal ground integrity. The potential for this overdrive can
be eliminated by connecting an external clamp diode
between the I
AVG
and V
C
pins (anode to I
AVG
and cathode
to V
C
). Connection of this diode will have no adverse
effects in any system and is recommended. This clamp is
required for all boost converter topologies.
Soft Start Programming
The LT1680 current control pin (V
C
) limits inductor cur-
rent to zero at voltages less than ≈0.7V through full
average current limit at V
C
≈ 2.5V, yielding 1.8V over the
full regulation range of average load current. With the SS
pin at 0V, the V
C
pin is clamped to its zero inductor current
level. Given the typical soft start charge current of 10µA

additional current can be minimized by making the con-

When shutting down the LT1680, the RUN/SHDN pin volt-
age must remain between the shutdown threshold (~1.13V)
and a minimum shutdown control limit voltage (see Fig-
ure 4) for a least 25µs. If a digital input or fast moving
clamp is used, this can be achieved by forcing a shutdown
control voltage above the minimum limit or by using a
simple integrator to increase the fall time of the input sig-
nal. A single pole integrator stage must have a
τ ≥ (7)(10

The inductor core type is determined by peak current and
efficiency requirements. The inductor core must with-
stand this peak current without saturating, and the series
winding resistance and core losses should be kept as
small as is practical to maximize conversion efficiency.
The LT1680 peak current threshold is 40% greater than
the average limit threshold. Slope compensation effects
reduce this margin as duty cycle increases. This margin
must be maintained to prevent peak current limit from
corrupting the programmed value for average current
limit. Programming the peak ripple current to less than
15% of the desired average current limit value will assure
proper operation of the average current limit feature
through 90% duty cycle (see Slope Compensation).
Slope Compensation
Current mode switching regulators that operate with a
duty cycle greater than 50% and have continuous inductor
current can exhibit duty cycle instability. While a regulator
will not be damaged and may even continue to function
acceptably during this type of subharmonic oscillation, an
irritating high-pitched squeal is usually produced.
The criterion for current mode duty cycle instability is
met when the increasing slope of the inductor ripple
current is less than the decreasing slope, which is the
case at duty cycles greater than 50%. This condition is
illustrated in Figure 9a. The inductor ripple current starts
at I
1
, the beginning of each oscillator switch cycle.
Current increases at a rate S1 until the current reaches
the control trip level I
2
. The controller servo loop then
disables the switch and inductor current begins to de-
crease at a rate S2. If the current switch point (I
2
) is
perturbed slightly and increased by ∆I, the cycle time
ends such that the minimum current point is increased by
a factor of 1 + (S2/S1) to start the next cycle. On each
successive cycle, this error is multiplied by a factor of S2/
S1. Therefore, if S2/S1 is ≥1, the system is unstable.
Subharmonic oscillations can be eliminated by augment-
ing the increasing ripple current slope (S1) in the control
loop. This is accomplished by adding an artificial ramp on
the inductor current waveform internal to the IC (with a
slope S
X
) as shown in Figure 9b. If the sum of the slopes
S1 + S
X
is greater than S2, this condition for subharmonic
oscillation no longer exists.

A down side of slope compensation is that, since the IC
servo loop senses an increase in perceived inductor cur-
rent, the internal current limit functions are affected such
that the maximum current capability of a regulator is
reduced by the same amount as the effective current
referred slope compensation. The LT1680, however, uses
a current limit scheme that is independent of the slope
compensation effects (Average Current Limiting). This
provides operation at any duty cycle with no reduction in
current sourcing capability, provided ripple current peak
amplitude is less than 15% of the current limit value. For
example, if the converter is set up to average current limit
at 10A, as long as the peak inductor current is less than
11.5A, duty cycles up to 90% can be achieved without
compromising the average current limit value.
If an inductor smaller than the minimum required for
internal slope compensation (calculated above as L
MIN
) is
desired, additional slope compensation is necessary. The
LT1680 provides this capability through the SL/ADJ pin.

In a typical LT1680 boost converter, the switch current is
equal to the inductor current, but is chopped according to
duty cycle (DC). The conduction loss (P

The output diode is often a major source of power loss in
switching regulators and selection of adequately rated
diodes is important. In a boost converter, when the output
voltage is significantly higher than the input voltage, the
peak diode current becomes much higher than average
output currents and diode current ratings must be ob-
served with caution. The peak diode current is:

Supply Decoupling Capacitor Selection

Under normal steady state boost operation, output current
provided by the converter is a square wave of duty cycle V

, the average value being equal to the required DC load
current (I

associated catastrophic failure), low ESR output capacitors
sized for the maximum RMS current must be used. This

LT1680
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
WUU U
The input bypass capacitors generally have less ripple
current than the output bypass capacitors as the input
current in a boost converter is continuous. Input bypass
capacitor selection can be made using ripple current
ratings. Peak-to-peak ripple current is equal to the induc-
tor ripple current (∆I
L
).
Efficiency Considerations and Heat Dissipation
High output power applications create an inherent con-
cern regarding power dissipation in regulator compo-
nents. Although high efficiencies are achieved using the
LT1680, the power dissipated in the regulator climbs to
relatively high values when the load draws large amounts
of power. Even at 90% efficiency, a 500W application has
conversion loss of 55W.
I
2
R dissipation in the MOSFET switch, sense resistor and
inductor series resistance can generate substantial con-
version loss under high current conditions. Generally, the
dominant I
2
R loss is evidenced in the FET switch, which is
proportional to the steady-state duty cycle, or conduction
time of the switch. For example, in a 5V to 48V boost
converter, the duty cycle is:
DC = 1 – (V
IN
/V
OUT
)
DC = 1 – 5/48 ≈ 90%
The FET switch conducts inductor current for almost 90%
of the cycle time, and thus may require increased consid-
eration for dissipating I
2
R power.
Gate Drive Buffer
The LT1680 is designed to drive relatively large capacitive
loads. However, in certain applications, efficiency im-
provements can be realized by adding an external buffer
stage to drive the gate of the FET switch. When the switch
gate loads the driver output such that rise/fall times
exceed 100ns, buffers can sometimes result in efficiency
gains. Buffers can also reduce effects of back injection into
the gate driver output due to coupling of switch node
transitions through the switch FET C
MILLER
.
Optimizing Transient Response–
Compensation Component Values
The dominant compensation point for an LT1680 con-
verter is the V
C
pin (Pin 5), or error amplifier output. This
pin connects to an external series RC network, R
VC
and
C
VC
. The infinite permutations of input/output filtering,
capacitor ESR, input voltage, load current, etc. make for an
empirical method of optimizing loop response for a spe-
cific set of conditions.
Loop response can be observed by injecting a step change
in load current. This can be achieved by using a switchable
load. With the load switching, the transient response of the
output voltage can be observed with an oscilloscope.
Iterating through RC combinations will yield optimized
response. Refer to Application Note 19 in the
