Editor's Notes
- Welcome to the training module on Linear Technology LTC3529: Step-Up DC/DC Converter for USB OTG. This training module introduces the LTC3529 step-up DC/DC converter for USB On-The-Go applications.
- The LTC3529 is a 1.5MHz, current mode, synchronous boost DC/DC converter with automatic overload fault detection. The USB-OTG specific protection circuit includes a fault flag and can be programmed to either latch-off or restart after a time-out duration when the bus is overloaded. The LTC3529’s internal 1.5A switches can deliver up to 500mA of output current to a fixed 5V output (from single cell Li-Ion). The LTC3529 is most similar to the LTC3528B as they share synchronous rectification, integrated output disconnect, V IN >V OUT regulation and a very compact footprint. However, the LTC3529 adds an automatic fault protection functionality needed for USB-OTG applications.
- The LTC3529 is a 5V output, synchronous, fixed frequency step-up DC/DC converter optimized for USB On-The-Go OTG) hosting applications, such as personal media players, digital cameras and printers, smart phones, and digital broadcast tuners.
- The LTC3529’s input voltage range of 1.8V to 5.25V make it ideal for Li-Ion/Polymer or multicell alkaline/NiCd/NiMH applications. Synchronous rectification enables efficiencies of up to 95% extending battery run-time in handheld applications. The combination of a 2mm x 3mm DFN-8 package and a constant switching frequency of 1.5MHz minimize both inductor and capacitor sizes, thereby providing a tiny solution footprint required in handheld applications. It uses internal switches with an R DS(ON) of only 90mOhm (N-Channel) and 120mOhm (P-Channel) to deliver efficiencies as high as 95%. The output disconnect feature allows the output to be completely disconnected in shutdown. It also limits the inrush of current during start-up, minimizing surge currents seen at the input supply rail. The LTC3529 will also regulate the output if input voltage exceeds the output voltage. Additional features include anti-ringing control, short-circuit protection, soft-start, short circuit latch-off and thermal protection.
- The LTC3529 is most similar to the LTC3528B as they share synchronous rectification, integrated output disconnect, V IN >V OUT regulation and a very compact footprint. However, the LTC3529’s 1.8V to 5.25V input voltage range is targeted at dual cell alkaline and single cell Li-Ion applications whereas the LTC3528/B’s 0.7V start up voltage also targets single cell alkaline applications. Similarly, as the LTC3529 is targeted at USB applications, it uses a fixed 5V output in lieu of the LTC3528/B’s adjustable output. The LTC3529 does NOT use BurstMode operation making it closer to the LTC3528B and also has a slightly lower switch current rating (1.5A vs. 2A). However, the largest difference is the LTC3529’s automatic fault detection which protects USB-OTG devices from a shorted USB output. If the output is shorted, the LTC3529 will reach its current limit, if this lasts longer than 22ms, it will send up a fault flag and the device will shutdown. If the auto start option is enabled (via the RST pin) the device will automatically attempt to restart every 22ms until the short is removed. If the auto start option is not enabled, the IC will remain shutdown until being manually restarted by toggling the SHDN pin or cycling the input voltage. In general, if the application is a USB-OTG host, the LTC3529 will be the preferred device.
- USB-OTG is an emerging sector of electronics that allows devices to be connected to each other via a USB2.0 cable, eliminating the need for a central host such as a PC. For example a printer could host a digital camera and the same camera could host a cell phone. Some applications can be both a host and a peripheral, while others are solely peripherals. These USB 2.0 connections generally have two functions, the first is to transmit data and the second is to provide power. The USB power standards are set at 5V with either a 100mA or 500mA continuous current rating. How does the USB-OTG requirements affect power ICs in these applications? First, the IC needs to protect the host from overloading and destroying the power IC/host in case the USB output is shorted; the most common reason for a short will be water in the USB port or cable end. This is precisely what the LTC3529’s automatic fault detection does. It can be programmed to restart after a short is removed or after the device’s power is toggled on/off. The other important requirement for USB power ICs is that they must be stable with a relatively low value 6.5 μF output capacitor to ensure that the data link ramps up in the required time frame.
- The LTC3529 step-up DC/DC converter can achieve very high efficiency. The efficiency of it can reach as high as 95%.
- The LTC3529 operates with an input voltage as low as 1.8V and features fixed-frequency current-mode PWM control for exceptional line and load regulation. Internal MOSFET switches with low RDS(ON) and low gate charge enable the device to maintain high efficiency over a wide range of load current. The LTC3529 provides soft-start by ramping the inductor current limit from zero to its peak value in approximately 2ms. The LTC3529 is shut down by pulling the SHDN pin below 0.35V, and activated by pulling the SHDN pin above 1V. To prevent the device from providing power to a shorted output, the switch current is monitored to detect an over-current condition. The anti-ringing circuit connects a resistor across the inductor to damp the ringing on SW in discontinuous conduction mode. If the die temperature reaches approximately 160 º C, the device enters thermal shutdown, and all switches are turned off.
- The LTC3529 switches large currents at high frequencies. Special care should be given to the PCB layout to ensure stable, noise-free operation. The figure depicts the recommended PCB layout to be utilized for the LTC3529. Here also list a few key guidelines for the PCB layout.
