3. The resistor divider, R1 and R2, must be connected
between the (+) plate of C
OUT1
and a ground sense
line terminated near GND (Pin 11). The feedback sig-
nals V
FB1
and V
FB2
should be routed away from noisy
components and traces, such as the SW lines (Pins 5
and 7), and their trace length should be minimized.
4. Keep sensitive components away from the SW pins, if
possible. The input capacitor C
IN
, C
LIM
and the resistors
R1, R2, R3 and R4, R
LIM
should be routed away from
the SW traces and the inductors.

5. A ground plane is preferred, but if not available, keep
the signal and power grounds segregated with small
signal components returning to the GND pin at a single
point. These ground traces should not share the high
current path of C
IN
or C
OUT
.
6. Flood all unused areas on all layers with copper.
Flooding with copper will reduce the temperature rise
of power components. These copper areas should be
connected to V
IN
or GND.

Design Example
As a design example, consider using the LTC3619 in a
USB-GSM application, with V
IN
= 5V, I
INMAX
= 500mA, with
the output of channel 2 charging a SuperCap of 4.4mF.
The load on each channel requires a maximum of 400mA
and 800mA in active mode and 2mA in standby mode.
The output voltages are V
OUT1
= 1.8V and V
OUT2
= 3.4V.
Start with channel 1. First, calculate the inductor value
for about 40% ripple current (160mA in this example) at
maximum V
IN
. Using a derivation of Equation 1:
L1=
1.8V
2.25MHz (160mA)
1
1.8V
5V
= 3.2µH
For the inductor, use the closest standard value of 3.3µH.
A 10µF ceramic capacitor should be more than sufficient
for this output capacitor. As for the input capacitor, a
typical value of C
IN
= 10µF should suffice, if the source
impedance is very low.
The feedback resistors program the output voltage. To
maintain high efficiency at light loads, the current in these
resistors should be kept small. Choosing 10µA with the
0.6V feedback voltage makes R1~60k. A close standard
1% resistor is 59k. Using Equation 2.
R2=
V
OUT
0.6
1
R1=118k
An optional 22pF feedforward capacitor (C
F1
) may be used
to improve transient response.
Using the same analysis for channel 2 (V
OUT2
= 3.4V),
the results are:
L2 = 1.5µH
R3 = 59k
R4 = 276k
A feedforward capacitor is not used on channel 2 since
the 4.4mF SuperCap will inhibit any fast output voltage
transients.
Figure 4 shows the complete schematic for this example,
along with the efficiency curve and transient response.
Input current limit is set at 475mA average current, R
LIM
= 116k, C
LIM
= 1000pF. See Programming Input Current
