SYNC (Pin 1): Oscillator Synchronization Pin with TTL-
Level Compatible Input. Input drives internal rising edge
triggered one-shot; sync signal on/off times should be
1µs (10% to 90% DC at 100kHz). Does not contain
internal pull-up. Connect to SGND if not used.
5V
REF
(Pin 2): 5V Output Reference. Allows connection
of external loads up to 10mA DC. (Reference is not
available in shutdown.) Typically bypassed with 1µF
capacitor to SGND.
CT (Pin 3): Oscillator Timing Pin. Connect a capacitor
(C
CT
) to ground and a pull-up resistor (R
CT
) to the 5V
REF
supply. Typical values are CT = 1000pF and 10k R
CT
30k.
SL/ADJ (Pin 4): Slope Compensation Adjustment.
Allows increased slope compensation for certain high
duty cycle applications. Resistive loading of the pin
increases effective slope compensation. A resistor
divider from the 5V
REF
pin can tailor the onset of addi-
tional slope compensation to specific regions in each
switch cycle. Pin can be floated or connected to 5V
REF
if
no additional slope compensation is required. (See
Applications Information section for slope compensa-
tion details.)
I
AVG
(Pin 5): Average Current Limit Integration. Fre-
quency response characteristic is set using the 50k
output impedance and external capacitor to ground.
Averaging roll-off typically set at 1 to 2 orders of magni-
tude under switching frequency. (Typical capacitor value
~1000pF for f
O
= 100kHz.) Shorting this pin to SGND will
disable the average current limit function.
SS (Pin 6): Soft Start. Generates ramping threshold for
regulator current limit during start-up and after UVLO
event by sourcing about 8µA into an external capacitor.
V
C
(Pin 7): Error Amplifier Output. RC load creates
dominant compensation in power supply regulation feed-
back loop to provide optimum transient response. (See
Applications Information section for compensation de-
tails.)
SGND (Pin 8): Small-Signal Ground. Connect to negative
terminal of C
OUT
.
V
FB

V
REF
(Pin 10): Bandgap Generated Voltage Reference
Decoupling. Connect a capacitor to signal ground. (Typi-
cal capacitor value ~0.1µF.)
SENSE
+
(Pin 11): Current Sense Amplifier Inverting
Input. Connect to most positive (DC) terminal of current
sense resistor.
SENSE
(Pin 12): Current Sense Amplifier Noninverting
Input. Connect to most negative (DC) terminal of current
sense resistor.
RUN/SHDN (Pin 13): Precision Referenced Shutdown.
Can be used as logic level input for shutdown control or
as an analog monitor for input supply undervoltage
protection, etc. IC is enabled when RUN/SHDN pin rising
edge exceeds 1.25V. About 25mV of hysteresis helps
assure stable mode switching. All internal functions are
disabled in shutdown mode. If this function is not
desired, connect RUN/SHDN to 12V
IN
(typically through
a 100k resistor). See Applications Information section.
PHASE (Pin 14): Output Driver Phase Control. If Pin 14
is not connected (floating), the topside driver operates
the main switch, with the bottom side driver operating
the synchronous switch. Shorting Pin 14 to ground
reverses the roles of the output drivers. PHASE is typi-
cally shorted to ground for inverting and boost configu-
rations. Positive buck configuration requires the PHASE
pin to float. See Applications Information section.
PGND (Pin 15): Power Ground. References the bottom
side output switch and internal driver control circuits.

connects to source of topside external power FET and
inductive switch node.

OPERATION
U
Basic Control Loop
The LT1339 uses a constant frequency, current mode
synchronous architecture. The timing of the IC is provided
through an internal oscillator circuit, which can be syn-
chronized to an external clock, programmable to operate
at frequencies up to 150kHz. The oscillator creates a
modified sawtooth wave at its timing node (CT) with a slow
charge, rapid discharge characteristic.
During typical positive buck operation, the main switch
MOSFET is enabled at the start of each oscillator cycle. The
main switch stays enabled until the current through the
switched inductor, sensed via the voltage across a series
(Refer to Functional Block Diagram)
sense resistor (R
SENSE
), is sufficient to trip the current
comparator (IC1) and, in turn, reset the RS latch. When the
RS latch resets, the main switch is disabled, and the
synchronous switch MOSFET is enabled. Shoot-through
prevention logic prohibits enabling of the synchronous
switch until the main switch is fully disabled. If the current
comparator threshold is not obtained throughout the
entire oscillator charge period, the RS latch is bypassed
and the main switch is disabled during the oscillator
discharge time. This “minimum off time” assures ad-
equate charging of the bootstrap supply, protects the main
switch, and is typically about 1µs.

LT1339
sn1339 1339fas
OPERATION
U
(Refer to Functional Block Diagram)
The current comparator trip threshold is set on the V
C
pin,
which is the output of a transconductance amplifier, or
error amplifier (EA). The error amplifier integrates the
difference between a feedback voltage (on the V
FB
pin)
and an internal bandgap generated reference voltage of
1.25V, forming a signal that represents required load
current. If the supplied current is insufficient for a given
load, the output will droop, thus reducing the feedback
voltage. The error amplifier forces current out of the V
C
pin, increasing the current comparator threshold. Thus,
the circuit will servo until the provided current is equal to
the required load and the average output voltage is at the
value programmed by the feedback resistors.
Average Current Limit
The output of the sense amplifier is monitored by a single
pole integrator comprised of an external capacitor on the
I
AVG
pin and an internal impedance of approximately
50k. If this averaged value signal exceeds a level corre-
sponding to 120mV across the external sense resistor, the
current comparator threshold is clamped and cannot
continue to rise in response to the error amplifier. Thus, if
average load current requirements exceed 120mV/R
SENSE
,
the supply will current limit and the output voltage will fall
out of regulation. The average current limit circuit moni-
tors the sense amplifier output without slope compensa-
tion or ripple current contributions, therefore the average
load current limit threshold is unaffected by duty cycle.
Undervoltage Lockout
The LT1339 employs an undervoltage lockout circuit
(UVLO) that monitors the 12V supply rail. This circuit
disables the output drive capability of the LT1339 if
the 12V supply drops below about 9V. Unstable mode
switching is prevented through 350mV of UVLO threshold
hysteresis.
Adaptive Nonoverlapping Output Stage
The FET driver output stage implements adaptive
nonoverlapping control. This circuitry maintains dead
time independent of the type, size or operating conditions
of the switch elements. The control circuit monitors the
output gate drive signals, insuring that the switch gate
(being disabled) is fully discharged before enabling the
other switch driver.
Shutdown
The LT1339 can be put into low current shutdown mode
by pulling the RUN/SHDN pin low, disabling all circuit
functions. The shutdown threshold is a bandgap referred
voltage of 1.25V typical. Use of a precision threshold on
the shutdown circuit enables use of this pin for undervolt-
age protection of the V
IN
supply and/or power supply
sequencing.
Soft Start
The LT1339 incorporates a soft start function that oper-
ates by slowly increasing the internal current limit. This
limit is controlled by clamping the V
C
node to a low voltage
that climbs with time as an external capacitor on the SS pin
is charged with about 8µA. This forces a graceful climb of
output current capability, and thus a graceful increase in
output voltage until steady-state regulation is achieved.
The soft start timing capacitor is clamped to ground
during shutdown and during undervoltage lockout, yield-
ing a graceful output recovery from either condition.
5V Internal Reference
Power for the oscillator timing elements and most other
internal LT1339 circuits is derived from an internal 5V
reference, accessible at the 5V
REF
pin. This supply pin can be
loaded with up to 10mA DC (20mA pulsed) for convenient
biasing of local elements such as control logic, etc.
Slope Compensation
For duty cycles greater than 50%, slope compensation is
required to prevent current mode duty cycle instability in
the regulator control loop. The LT1339 employs internal
slope compensation that is adequate for most applica-
tions. However, if additional slope compensation is
desired, it is available through the SL/ADJ pin. Excessive
slope compensation will cause reduction in maximum
load current capability and therefore is not desirable.
