The LTC
®
1701/LTC1701B are the industry’s first SOT-23
step-down, current mode, DC/DC converters. Intended for
low to medium power applications, they operate from 2.5V
to 5.5V input voltage range and switch at 1MHz, allowing
the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and inductors 2mm or
less in height. The output voltage is adjustable from 1.25V
to 5V. A built-in 0.28Ω switch allows up to 0.5A of output
current at high efficiency. OPTI-LOOP
TM
compensation
allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide
range of loads and output capacitors.
The LTC1701 incorporates automatic power saving Burst
Mode
TM
operation to reduce gate charge losses when the
load current drops below the level required for continuous
operation. The LTC1701B operates continuously to very
low load currents to provide low ripple at the expense of
light load efficiency. With no load, the LTC1701 draws only
135µA. In shutdown, both devices draw less than 1µA,
making them ideal for current sensitive applications.
Their small size and switching frequency enables a
complete DC/DC converter function to consume less than
0.3 square inches of PC board area.

OPERATIO
The LTC1701 uses a contant off-time, current mode archi-
tecture. The operating frequency is then determined by the
off-time and the difference between V
IN
and V
OUT
.
The output voltage is set by an external divider returned to
the V
FB
pin. An error amplfier compares the divided output
voltage with a reference voltage of 1.25V and adjusts the
peak inductor current accordingly.
Main Control Loop
During normal operation, the internal PMOS switch is
turned on when the V
FB
voltage is below the reference
voltage. The current into the inductor and the load in-
creases until the current limit is reached. The switch turns
off and energy stored in the inductor flows through the
external Schottky diode into the load. After the constant
off-time interval, the switch turns on and the cycle repeats.
The peak inductor current is controlled by the voltage on
the I
TH
/RUN pin, which is the output of the error
amplifier.This amplifier compares the V
FB
pin to the 1.25V
reference. When the load current increases, the FB voltage
decreases slightly below the reference. This decrease
causes the error amplifier to increase the I
TH
/RUN voltage
until the average inductor current matches the new load
current.
The main control loop is shut down by pulling the I
TH
/RUN
pin to ground. When the pin is released an external resistor
is used to charge the compensation capacitor. When the
voltage at the I
TH
/RUN pin reaches 0.8V, the main control
APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
The basic LTC1701 application circuit is shown in
Figure 1. External component selection is driven by the
load requirement and begins with the selection of L1. Once
L1 is chosen, the Schottky diode D1 can be selected
followed by C
IN
and C
OUT
.
L Selection and Operating Frequency
The operating frequency is fixed by V
IN
, V
OUT
and the
constant off-time of about 500ns. The complete expres-
sion for operating frequency is given by:

U
loop is enabled and the error amplifier drives the I
TH
/RUN
pin. Soft-start can be implemented by ramping the voltage
on the I
TH
/RUN pin (see Applications Information sec-
tion).
Low Current Operation
To optimize efficiency when the load is relatively light, the
LTC1701 automatically switches to Burst Mode operation
in which the internal PMOS switch operates intermittently
based on load demand. The main control loop is inter-
rupted when the output voltage reaches the desired regu-
lated value. The hysteretic voltage comparator trips when
I
TH
/RUN is below 1.5V, shutting off the switch and reduc-
ing the power consumed. The output capacitor and the
inductor supply the power to the load until the output
voltage drops slightly and the I
TH
/RUN pin exceeds 1.5V,
turning on the switch and the main control loop which
starts another cycle.
For reduced output ripple, the LTC1701B doesn't use
Burst Mode operation and operates continuously down to
very low currents where the part starts skipping cycles.
Dropout Operation
In dropout, the internal PMOS switch is turned on continu-
ously (100% duty cycle) providing low dropout operation
with V
OUT
at V
IN
. Since the LTC1701 does not incorporate
an under voltage lockout, care should be taken to shut
down the LTC1701 for V
IN
< 2.5V.
