PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The LT3045 data sheet gives a complete description of the

device, operation and applications information. The data

sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual

for DC2491A. The LT3045EDD is assembled in a 10-lead

(3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN package with an exposed pad

on the bottom-side of the IC. Proper board layout is es-

sential for maximum thermal performance.

Design files for this circuit board are available at

Specifications are at TA= 25°C

PARAMETER CONDITIONS MIN TYP MAX

Input Voltage Range (VIN) IOUT = 150mA, VOUT = 3.3V 3.8V 20V

Input Voltage Range (VIN) IOUT = 500mA, VOUT = 3.3V 3.8V 8.3V*

Output Voltage (VOUT) VIN = 5V, IOUT = 500mA 3.2V 3.3V 3.4V

Shutdown Input Current (IIN) JP1 = OFF, VIN = 5V 0.1μA

*The maximum input voltage for 500mA load current is set by the 60°C temperature rise of LT3045 on the demo circuit. Higher input voltage can be

reached if larger copper area or force-air cooling is applied. The output current is also limited by the differential of input and output voltage, please refer

the data sheet for details.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Figure 1. Test Procedure Setup Drawing for DC2491A

DC2491A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance of

the LT3045EDD. Refer to Figure 1 for proper measurement

equipment setup and follow the procedure below.

1. Connect load between VOUT and GND terminals.

2. With power off, connect the input power supply to the

VIN and GND terminals.

3. Make sure the shunt of JP1 is at ON option.

4. Turn the input power supply on and make sure the

voltage is between 3.8V and 20V.

5. Refer to Application Notes AN70 and AN159 for mea-

suring output noise and PSRR.

6. With JP1 at USER SELECT option, R6 and R7 can be

used to set an accurate undervoltage lockout (UVLO)

threshold.

*The maximum output current will be limited by internal current limit based on differential voltage of input and output voltage, please refer to the data sheet.

Best PSRR Performance: PCB Layout for Input Trace

For applications utilizing the LT3045 for post-regulating

switching converters, placing a capacitor directly at the

LT3045 input results in AC current (at the switching fre-

quency) to flow near the LT3045. Without careful attention

to PCB layout, this relatively high frequency switching cur-

rent generates an electromagnetic field (EMF) that couples

totheLT3045 output, thereby degrading its effectivePSRR.

While highly dependent on the PCB, the switching pre-

regulator, and the input capacitor size, amongother factors,

the PSRR degradation can easily be 30dB at 1MHz. This

degradation is present even if the LT3045 is de-soldered

from the board, because it effectively degrades the PSRR

of the PC board itself. While negligible for conventional low

PSRR LDOs, LT3045’s ultrahigh PSRR requires careful

attention to higher order parasitics in order to realize the

full performance offered by the regulator.

PCB LAYOUT

The LT3045 demo board alleviates this degradation in

PSRR by using a specialized layout technique. On layer3,

the input trace (VIN) is highlighted in red, with the return

path (GND) highlighted on the bottom layer together with

input capacitor C1. When an AC voltage is applied to the

input of the board, AC current flows on this path, thus

generating EMF. This EMF couples to output capacitor

C2 and related traces, making the PSRR appear worse

than it actually is. With the input trace directly above

the return path, the EMFs are in opposite directions,

and consequently cancel each other out. Making sure

these traces exactly overlap each other maximizes the

cancellation effect and thus provides the maximum

PSRR offered by the regulator.

Best AC Performance: PCB Layout for Output

Capacitor C2

For ultrahigh PSRR performance, the LT3045 bandwidth

is made quite high (~1MHz), making it very close to the

output capacitor’s self-resonance frequency (~1.6MHz).

Therefore, it is very important to avoid adding extra imped-

ance (ESL and ESR) outside the feedback loop. To that end,

minimize the effects of PCB trace and solder inductance

by Kelvin connecting OUTS and SET pin capacitor (CSET)

GND directly to output capacitor (C2) terminals using split

capacitor techniques. Pad 4 connects to the OUTS pin and

Pad 1 connects to the GND side of the SET pin capacitor.

With only small AC current flowing through these connec-

tions, the impact of solder joint/PCB trace inductance on

stability is eliminated. While the LT3045 is robust enough

not to oscillate if the recommended layout is not followed,

phase/gain margin and PSRR will degrade.
