LT3489
2MHz Boost DC/DC
Converter with 2.5A Switch
and Soft-Start
DESCRIPTIO
The LT
®
3489 is a fixed frequency step-up DC/DC converter
containing an internal 2.5A, 40V switch. The LT3489 is
ideal for large TFT-LCD panel power supplies. The LT3489
switches at 2MHz, allowing the use of tiny, low profile
inductors and low value ceramic capacitors. Loop com-
pensation can be either internal or external, giving the
user flexibility in setting loop compensation and allow-
ing optimized transient response with low ESR ceramic
output capacitors. Soft-start is controlled with an external
capacitor, which determines the input current ramp rate
during start-up.
The 8-lead MS8E package and high switching frequency en-
sure a low profile overall solution less than 1.1mm high.

OPERATIO
The LT3489 uses a constant frequency, current mode con-
trol scheme to provide excellent line and load regulation.
Please refer to Figure 1 for the following description of the
part’s operation. At the start of the oscillator cycle, the SR
latch is set, turning on the power switch, Q1. The switch
current flows through the internal current sense resistor
generating a voltage. This voltage is added to a stabilizing
ramp and the resulting sum is fed into the positive terminal
of the PWM comparator, A2. When this voltage exceeds
the level at the negative input of A2, the SR latch is reset,
turning off the power switch. The level at the negative
input of A2 (V
C
pin) is set by the error amplifier (g
m
) and
is simply an amplified version of the difference between
the feedback voltage and the reference voltage of 1.235V.
In this manner, the error amplifier sets the correct peak
current level to keep the output in regulation.
U
A soft-start function is provided to enable a clean start-up
for the LT3489. When the part is brought out of shut-
down, 10µA of current is sourced out of the SS pin. By
connecting an external capacitor to the SS pin, the rate
of voltage rise on the pin can be set. Typical values for
the soft-start capacitor range from 10nF to 200nF. The SS
pin indirectly limits the rate of rise on the V
C
pin, which
in turn limits the peak switch current. Current limit is
not shown in Figure 1. The switch current is constantly
monitored and not allowed to exceed the nominal value
of 2.5A. If the switch current reaches 2.5A, the SR latch
is reset regardless of the output of comparator A2. This
current limit helps protect the power switch as well as the
external components connected to the LT3489.
