1611 is the industry’s first inverting 5-lead SOT-23
current mode DC/DC converter. Intended for use in small,
low power applications, it operates from an input voltage
as low as 1.1V and switches at 1.4MHz, allowing the use
of tiny, low cost capacitors and inductors 2mm or less in
height. Its small size and high switching frequency enable
the complete DC/DC converter function to consume less
than 0.25 square inches of PC board area. Capable of
generating – 5V at 150mA from a 5V supply or – 5V at
100mA from a 3V supply, the LT1611 replaces nonregulated
“charge pump” solutions in many applications.
The LT1611 operates in a dual inductor inverting topology
which filters the input side as well as the output side of the
DC/DC converter. Fixed frequency switching ensures a
clean output free from low frequency noise typically present
with charge pump solutions. No load quiescent current of
the LT1611 is 3mA, while in shutdown quiescent current
drops to 0.5µA. The 36V switch allows V
IN
to V
OUT
differential of up to 33V.
The LT1611 is available in the 5-lead SOT-23 package.

OPERATIO
The LT1611 combines a current mode, fixed frequency
PWM architecture with a –1.23V reference to directly
regulate negative outputs. Operation can be best under-
stood by referring to the block diagram of Figure 2. Q1 and
Q2 form a bandgap reference core whose loop is closed
around the output of the converter. The driven reference
point is the lower end of resistor R4, which normally sits
at a voltage of –1.23V. As the load current changes, the
NFB pin voltage also changes slightly, driving the output
of g
m
amplifier A1. Switch current is regulated directly on
a cycle-to-cycle basis by A1’s output. The flip-flop is set at
the beginning of each cycle, turning on the switch. When
the summation of a signal representing switch current and
a ramp generator (introduced to avoid subharmonic oscil-
lations at duty factors greater than 50%) exceeds the V
C
signal, comparator A2 changes stage, resetting the flip-
flop and turning off the switch. Output voltage decreases
(the magnitude increases) as switch current is increased.
The output, attenuated by external resistor divider R1 and
R2, appears at the NFB pin, closing the overall loop.
Frequency compensation is provided internally by R
C
and
C
C
. Transient response can be optimized by the addition of
a phase lead capacitor, C
PL
, in parallel with R1 in applica-
tions where large value or low ESR output capacitors are
used.
As load current is decreased, the switch turns on for a
shorter period each cycle. If the load current is further
decreased, the converter will skip cycles to maintain
output voltage regulation.
The LT1611 can work in either of two topologies. The
simpler topology appends a capacitive level shift to a

boost converter, generating a negative output voltage,
which is directly regulated. The circuit schematic is de-
tailed in Figure 3. Only one inductor is required, and the
two diodes can be in a single SOT-23 package. Output
noise is the same as in a boost converter, because current
is delivered to the output only during the time when the
LT1611’s internal switch is off.
If D2 is replaced by an inductor, as shown in Figure 4, a
higher performance solution results. This converter topol-
ogy was developed by Professor S. Cuk of the California
Institute of Technology in the 1970s. A low ripple voltage
results with this topology due to inductor L2 in series with
the output. Abrupt changes in output capacitor current are
eliminated because the output inductor delivers current to
the output during both the off-time and the on-time of the
LT1611 switch. With proper layout and high quality output
capacitors, output ripple can be as low as 1mV
P–P
.
The operation of Cuk’s topology is shown in Figures 5
and 6. During the first switching phase, the LT1611’s
switch, represented by Q1, is on. There are two current
loops in operation. The first loop begins at input capacitor
C1, flows through L1, Q1 and back to C1. The second loop
flows from output capacitor C3, through L2, C2, Q1 and
back to C3. The output current from R
LOAD
is supplied by
L2 and C3. The voltage at node SW is V
CESAT
and at node
SWX the voltage is –(V
IN
+ |V
OUT
|). Q1 must conduct both
L1 and L2 current. C2 functions as a voltage level shifter,
with an approximately constant voltage of (V
IN
+ |V
OUT
|)
across it.

When Q1 turns off during the second phase of switching,
the SW node voltage abruptly increases to (V
IN
+ |V
OUT
|).
The SWX node voltage increases to V
D
(about 350mV).
Now current in the first loop, begining at C1, flows through
L1, C2, D1 and back to C1. Current in the second loop flows
from C3 through L2, D1 and back to C3. Load current
continues to be supplied by L2 and C3.
An important layout issue arises due to the chopped
nature of the currents flowing in Q1 and D1. If they are both
tied directly to the ground plane before being combined,
switching noise will be introduced into the ground plane.
It is almost impossible to get rid of this noise, once present
in the ground plane. The solution is to tie D1’s cathode to
the ground pin of the LT1611 before the combined cur-
rents are dumped into the ground plane as drawn in
Figures 4, 5 and 6. This single layout technique can
virtually eliminate high frequency “spike” noise so often
present on switching regulator outputs.
Output ripple voltage appears as a triangular waveform
riding on V
OUT
. Ripple magnitude equals the ripple current
of L2 multiplied by the equivalent series resistance (ESR)
of output capacitor C3. Increasing the inductance of L1
and L2 lowers the ripple current, which leads to lower
output voltage ripple. Decreasing the ESR of C3, by using
ceramic or other low ESR type capacitors, lowers output
ripple voltage. Output ripple voltage can be reduced to
arbitrarily low levels by using large value inductors and
low ESR, high value capacitors.
