APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
LTC3703
Bottom MOSFET Source Supply (BGRTN)
The bottom gate driver, BG, switches from DRV
BGRTN where BGRTN can be a voltage between ground
and –5V. Why not just keep it simple and always connect
BGRTN to ground? In high voltage switching converters,
the switch node dV/dt can be many volts/ns, which will
pull up on the gate of the bottom MOSFET through its
Miller capacitance. If this Miller current, times the internal
gate resistance of the MOSFET plus the driver resistance,
exceeds the threshold of the FET, shoot-through will oc-
cur. By using a negative supply on BGRTN, the BG can be
pulled below ground when turning the bottom MOSFET off.
This provides a few extra volts of margin before the gate
reaches the turn-on threshold of the MOSFET. Be aware
that the maximum voltage difference between DRV
BGRTN is 15V. If, for example, V

Current Limit Programming
Programming current limit on the LTC3703 is straight
forward. The I
the maximum allowable voltage drop across the bottom
MOSFET. The voltage across the MOSFET is set by its on-
resistance and the current fl owing in the inductor, which
is the same as the output current. The LTC3703 current
limit circuit inverts the negative voltage across the MOSFET
before comparing it to the voltage at I
current limit to be set with a positive voltage.
To set the current limit, calculate the expected voltage
drop across the bottom MOSFET at the maximum desired
current and maximum junction temperature:

FEEDBACK LOOP/COMPENSATION
Feedback Loop Types
In a typical LTC3703 circuit, the feedback loop consists of
the modulator, the external inductor, the output capacitor
and the feedback amplifi er with its compensation network.
All of these components affect loop behavior and must be
accounted for in the loop compensation. The modulator
consists of the internal PWM generator, the output MOSFET
drivers and the external MOSFETs themselves. From a
feedback loop point of view, it looks like a linear voltage
transfer function from COMP to SW and has a gain roughly
equal to the input voltage. It has fairly benign AC behavior
at typical loop compensation frequencies with signifi cant
phase shift appearing at half the switching frequency.
The external inductor/output capacitor combination
makes a more signifi cant contribution to loop behavior.
These components cause a second order LC roll off at the
output, with the attendant 180° phase shift. This rolloff is
what fi lters the PWM waveform, resulting in the desired
DC output voltage, but the phase shift complicates the
loop compensation if the gain is still higher than unity
at the pole frequency. Eventually (usually well above the
LC pole frequency), the reactance of the output capacitor
