APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DIODE SELECTION
A Schottky diode is recommended for use with the
LT3471. For high ef ciency, a diode with good thermal
characteristics at high currents should be used such as
the On Semiconductor MBRM120. This is a 20V diode.
Where the switch voltage exceeds 20V, use the MBRM140,
a 40V diode. These diodes are rated to handle an average
forward current of 1.0A. In applications where the average
forward current of the diode is less than 0.5A, use the
Philips PMEG 2005, 3005, or 4005 (a 20V, 30V or 40V
diode, respectively).
LAYOUT HINTS
The high speed operation of the LT3471 demands care-
ful attention to board layout. You will not get advertised
performance with careless layout. Figure 5 shows the
recommended component placement.
Compensation—Theory
Like all other current mode switching regulators, the
LT3471 needs to be compensated for stable and ef cient
operation. Two feedback loops are used in the LT3471: a
fast current loop which does not require compensation,
and a slower voltage loop which does. Standard Bode
plot analysis can be used to understand and adjust the
voltage feedback loop.
As with any feedback loop, identifying the gain and phase
contribution of the various elements in the loop is critical.
Figure 6 shows the key equivalent elements of a boost con-
verter. Because of the fast current control loop, the power
stage of the IC, inductor and diode have been replaced by
the equivalent transconductance amplifi er g
mp
. g
mp
acts as
a current source where the output current is proportional
to the V
C
voltage. Note that the maximum output current
of g
mp
is fi nite due to the current limit in the IC.

The Current Mode zero is a right half plane zero which can
be an issue in feedback control design, but is manageable
with proper external component selection.

From Figure 7, the phase is –115° when the gain reaches
0dB giving a phase margin of 65°. This is more than
adequate. The crossover frequency is 50kHz.
