APPLICATIONS
The CP
to power the V
used to power external circuitry, but any additional current
drawn from CP
drive the external MOSFETs. Circuits with small external
MOSFETs can draw as much as 20mA or 30mA from
CP
rent circuits with large or multiple external MOSFETs may
need every milliamp they can get from CP
loads should be minimized. The charge pump at PV

to anything except PV

charge from the charge pump and actually degrade perfor-
mance.
Compensation and Transient Response
The LTC1649 voltage feedback loop is compensated at the
COMP pin; this is the output node of the internal g
amplifier. The loop can generally be compensated prop-
erly with an RC network from COMP to GND and an
additional small C from COMP to GND (Figure 5). Loop
stability is affected by inductor and output capacitor
values and by other factors. Optimum loop response can
be obtained by using a network analyzer to find the loop
poles and zeros; nearly as effective and a lot easier is to
empirically tweak the R
looks right with an output load step.

Output transient response is set by three major factors: the
time constant of the inductor and the output capacitor, the
ESR of the output capacitor, and the loop compensation
components. The first two factors usually have much
more impact on overall transient recovery time than the
third; unless the loop compensation is way off, more
improvement can be had by optimizing the inductor and
the output capacitor than by fiddling with the loop com-
pensation components. In general, a smaller value induc-
tor will improve transient response at the expense of ripple
and inductor core saturation rating. Minimizing output
capacitor ESR will also help optimize output transient
response. See Input and Output Capacitors for more
information.
Soft Start and Current Limit
The LTC1649 includes a soft start circuit at the SS pin; this
circuit is used both for initial start-up and during current
limit operation. SS requires an external capacitor to GND
with the value determined by the required soft start time.
An internal 12 A current source is included to charge the
external capacitor. Soft start functions by clamping the
maximum voltage that the COMP pin can swing to, thereby
controlling the duty cycle (Figure 6). The LTC1649 will
begin to operate at low duty cycle as the SS pin rises to
about 2V below the V
duty cycle will increase until the error amplifier takes over
and begins to regulate the output. When SS reaches 1V
below V
switch shorts the SS pin to GND during shutdown.
