The LTC
®
3561 is a constant-frequency, synchronous,
step-down DC/DC converter. Intended for medium power
applications, it operates from a 2.63V to 5.5V input voltage
range and has a user configurable operating frequency up
to 4MHz, allowing the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and
inductors 2mm or less in height. The output voltage is
adjustable from 0.8V to 5V. Internal synchronous 0.11Ω
power switches with 1.4A peak current ratings provide
high efficiency. The LTC3561’s current mode architecture
and external compensation allow the transient response
to be optimized over a wide range of loads and output
capacitors.
To further maximize battery life, the P-channel MOSFET is
turned on continuously in dropout (100% duty cycle). The
no-load quiescent current is only 240µA. In shutdown, the
device draws <1µA.

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. No pin shall exceed 6V.
Note 2:
The LTC3561E is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the – 40°C to 85°C operating ambient
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
The LTC3561 is tested in a feedback loop which servos V
FB
to the
midpoint for the error amplifier (V
ITH
= 0.6V).
Note 4:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
being delivered at the switching frequency.

OPERATIO
The LTC3561 uses a constant frequency, current mode
architecture. The operating frequency is determined by
the value of the R
T
resistor.
The output voltage is set by an external divider returned to
the V
FB
pin. An error amplifier compares the divided
output voltage with a reference voltage of 0.8V and adjusts
the peak inductor current accordingly.
Main Control Loop
During normal operation, the top power switch (P-channel
MOSFET) is turned on at the beginning of a clock cycle
when the V
FB
voltage is below the reference voltage. The
current into the inductor and the load increases until the
current limit is reached. The switch turns off and energy
stored in the inductor flows through the bottom switch (N-
channel MOSFET) into the load until the next clock cycle.
The peak inductor current is controlled by the voltage on
the I
TH
pin, which is the output of the error amplifier. This
amplifier compares the V
FB
pin to the 0.8V reference.
When the load current increases, the V
FB
voltage de-
creases slightly below the reference. This decrease causes
the error amplifier to increase the I
TH
voltage until the
average inductor current matches the new load current. At

low load currents, the inductor current becomes discontinu-
ous, and pulses may be skipped to maintain regulation.
The main control loop is shut down by pulling the SHDN/R
T
pin to SV
IN
. A digital soft-start is enabled after shutdown,
which will slowly ramp the peak inductor current up over
1024 clock cycles or until the output reaches regulation,
whichever is first. Soft-start can be lengthened by ramping
the voltage on the I
TH
pin (see Applications Information
section).
Dropout Operation
When the input supply voltage decreases toward the
output voltage, the duty cycle increases to 100% which is
the dropout condition. In dropout, the PMOS switch is
turned on continuously with the output voltage being
equal to the input voltage minus the voltage drops across
the internal P-channel MOSFET and the inductor.
Low Supply Operation
The LTC3561 incorporates an undervoltage lockout circuit
which shuts down the part when the input voltage drops
below about 2.5V to prevent unstable operation.
