APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Output Voltage and Feedback Network

The output voltage of the buck switching regulators is

programmed by a resistor divider between the output

and the FB pin. Choose the resistor values according to

Equation 1.

Typical values for RB range from 40kΩ to 400kΩ. 0.1%

resistors are recommended to maintain output voltage

accuracy. The buck regulator transient response may

improve with an optional phase lead capacitor CFF that

helps cancel the pole created by the feedback resistors

and the input capacitance of the FB pin. Experimentation

with capacitor values between 2pF and 40pF may improve

transient response. The values used in the typical applica-

tion circuits are a good starting point.

Operating Frequency Selection and Trade-Offs

Selection of the operating frequency is a trade-off between

efficiency, component size, transient response, and input

voltage range.

The advantage of high frequency operation is that smaller

inductor and capacitor values may be used. Higher

switching frequencies allow for higher control loop

bandwidth and, therefore, faster transient response. The

disadvantages of higher switching frequencies are lower

efficiency, because of increased switching losses, and a

smaller input voltage range, because of minimum switch

on-time limitations.

The minimum on-time of the buck regulators imposes

a minimum operating duty cycle. The highest switching

frequency (fSW(MAX)) for a given application can be cal-

culated with Equation 2.

(

tON MIN

( ) •PVIN(MAX)

where PVIN(MAX) is the maximum input voltage, VOUT

is the output voltage, and tON(MIN) is the minimum top

switch on-time. This equation shows that a slower switch-

ing frequency might be necessary to accommodate a high

VIN/VOUT ratio.

The LTC3314A is capable of a maximum duty cycle of

98%. Therefore, the VIN-to-VOUT dropout is limited by

0.98 times the input supply, the RDS(ON) of the top switch,

the inductor DCR, and the load current.

Setting the Switching Frequency

The LTC3314A uses a constant frequency, peak current

mode control architecture. There are three methods to

set the switching frequency. The slope compensation is

automatically adapted to the clock frequency.

The first method, connecting the RT pin to VIN, sets the

switching frequency to the internal default with a nominal

value of 2MHz.

The second method is with a resistor (RT) tied from the RT

pin to ground. The frequency can be programmed from

1MHz to 3MHz. Table 1 and Equation 3 show the neces-

sary RT value for a desired switching frequency:

RT =

73.4

fSW

where RT is in kΩ and fSW is the desired switching fre-

quency in MHz, ranging from 1MHz to 3MHz.
