DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3413 is a high efficiency monolithic synchro-
nous step-down DC/DC converter utilizing a constant
frequency, current mode architecture. It operates from
an input voltage range of 2.25V to 5.5V and provides a
regulated output voltage equal to (0.5)V
REF
while sourcing
or sinking up to 3A of output current. An internal voltage
divider reduces component count and eliminates the need
for external resistors by dividing the reference voltage in
half. The internal synchronous power switch with 85mΩ
on-resistance increases efficiency and eliminates the need
for an external Schottky diode. Switching frequencies up
to 2MHz are set by an external resistor.
Forced-continuous operation in the LTC3413 reduces
noise and RF interference. Fault protection is provided
by an overcurrent comparator that limits output current
during both sourcing and sinking operations. Adjustable
compensation allows the transient response to be optimized
over a wide range of loads and output capacitors.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC3413E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. LTC3413I is guaranteed to meet specified
performance from –40°C to 85°C.
Note 3:
The LTC3413 is tested in a feedback loop that adjusts V
FB
to
achieve a specified error amplifier output voltage (I
TH
).
Note 4:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
being delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 5:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature TA and power
dissipation P
D
as follows: LTC3413E: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 38°C/W)
Note 6:
2MHz operation is guaranteed by design and not production tested.
Note 7:
Shutdown current and SW leakage current are only tested during
wafer sort.
Note 8:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.

PIN FUNCTIONS
SV
IN
(Pin 1):
Signal Input Supply. Decouple this pin to
SGND with a capacitor. SV
IN
must be greater or equal to
PV
IN
, however, the difference between SV
IN
and PV
IN
must
be less than 0.5V.
PGOOD (Pin 2):
Power Good Output. Open-drain logic
output that is pulled to ground when the output voltage
is not within ±10% of regulation point.
I
TH
(Pin 3):
Error Amplifier Compensation Point. The
current comparator threshold increases with this control
voltage. Nominal voltage range for this pin is from 0.2V
to 1.4V with 0.6V corresponding to the zero-sense voltage
(zero current).
V
FB
(Pin 4):
Feedback Pin. Receives the feedback voltage
from the output.
R
T
(Pin 5):
Oscillator Resistor Input. Connecting a resistor
to ground from this pin sets the switching frequency.
V
REF
(Pin 6):
Reference Voltage Input. The positive input
of the internal error amplifier senses one-half of the volt-
age at this pin through a resistor divider.
RUN/SS (Pin 7):
Run Control and Soft-Start Input. Forcing
this pin below 0.5V shuts down the LTC3413. In shutdown
all functions are disabled drawing < 1μA of supply current.
A capacitor to ground from this pin sets the ramp time to
full output current.
SGND (Pin 8):
Signal Ground. All small-signal components
and compensation components should connect to this
ground, which in turn connects to PGND at one point.
PV
IN
(Pins 9, 16):
Power Input Supply. Decouple this pin
to PGND with a capacitor.
SW (Pins 10, 11, 14, 15):
Switch Node Connection to
Inductor. This pin connects to the drains of the internal
main and synchronous power MOSFET switches.
PGND (Pins 12, 13):
Power Ground. Connect this pin
closely to the (–) terminal of C
IN
and C
OUT
.
Exposed Pad (Pin 17):
Should be connected to PCB
ground.
