OPERATIO
Main Control Loop
The LTC1929 uses a constant frequency, current mode
step-down architecture with inherent current sharing.
During normal operation, the top MOSFET is turned on
each cycle when the oscillator sets the RS latch, and
turned off when the main current comparator, I1, resets
the RS latch. The peak inductor current at which I1 resets
the RS latch is controlled by the voltage on the I
which is the output of the error amplifier EA. The differen-
tial amplifier, A1, produces a signal equal to the differential
voltage sensed across the output capacitor but re-refer-
ences it to the internal signal ground (SGND) reference.
The EAIN pin receives a portion of this voltage feedback
signal at the DIFFOUT pin which is compared to the
internal reference voltage by the EA. When the load current
increases, it causes a slight decrease in the EAIN pin
voltage relative to the 0.8V reference, which in turn causes
the I
current matches the new load current. After the top
MOSFET has turned off, the bottom MOSFET is turned on
for the rest of the period.
The top MOSFET drivers are biased from floating boot-
strap capacitor C
each off cycle through an external Schottky diode. When
V
may enter dropout and attempt to turn on the top MOSFET
continuously. A dropout detector detects this condition
and forces the top MOSFET to turn off for about 400ns
every 10th cycle to recharge the bootstrap capacitor.
The main control loop is shut down by pulling Pin 1 (RUN/
SS) low. Releasing RUN/SS allows an internal 1.2 A
current source to charge soft-start capacitor C

RUN/SS pin is low, all LTC1929 functions are shut down.

invoked as described in the Applications Information
section.

Low Current Operation
The LTC1929 operates in a continuous, PWM control
mode. The resulting operation at low output currents
optimizes transient response at the expense of substantial
negative inductor current during the latter part of the
period. The level of ripple current is determined by the
inductor value, input voltage, output voltage, and fre-
quency of operation.
Frequency Synchronization
The phase-locked loop allows the internal oscillator to be
synchronized to an external source via the PLLIN pin. The
output of the phase detector at the PLLFLTR pin is also the
DC frequency control input of the oscillator that operates
over a 140kHz to 310kHz range corresponding to a DC
voltage input from 0V to 2.4V. When locked, the PLL aligns
the turn on of the top MOSFET to the rising edge of the
synchronizing signal. When PLLIN is left open, the PLLFLTR
pin goes low, forcing the oscillator to minimum frequency.
Input capacitance ESR requirements and efficiency losses
are substantially reduced because the peak current drawn
from the input capacitor is effectively divided by two and
power loss is proportional to the RMS current squared. A
two stage, single output voltage implementation can re-
duce input path power loss by 75% and radically reduce
the required RMS current rating of the input capacitor(s).
