Characteristics). Step-down regulators draw current from the input supply Frequency foldback is done to control power dissipation in in pulses. The rise and fall times of these pulses are very both the IC and in the external diode and inductor during fast. The input capacitor is required to reduce the voltage short-circuit conditions. A shorted output requires the ripple this causes at the input of LT3435 and force the switching regulator to operate at very low duty cycles. As switching current into a tight local loop, thereby minimiz- a result the average current through the diode and induc- ing EMI. The RMS ripple current can be calculated from: tor is equal to the short-circuit current limit of the switch (typically 4.7A for the LT3435). Minimum switch on time I I OUT = V V – V ( ) limitations would prevent the switcher from attaining a RIPPLE RMS ( ) OUT IN OUT VIN sufficiently low duty cycle if switching frequency were maintained at 500kHz, so frequency is reduced by about Ceramic capacitors are ideal for input bypassing.

In addition, if the current in 4.7µF to 20µF are suitable for most applications. If opera- the switch exceeds 1.5 times the current limitations speci- tion is required close to the minimum input required by the fied by the V LT3435 a larger value may be required. This is to prevent C pin, due to minimum switch on time, the LT3435 will skip the next switch cycle. As the feedback excessive ripple causing dips below the minimum operat- voltage rises, the switching frequency increases to 500kHz ing voltage resulting in erratic operation. with 0.95V on the FB pin. During frequency foldback, Input voltage transients caused by input voltage steps or external syncronization is disabled to prevent interference by hot plugging the LT3435 to a pre-powered source such with foldback operation. Frequency foldback does not as a wall adapter can exceed maximum VIN ratings.

When the feedback voltage is below 0.4V, the VC pin The easiest way to suppress input voltage transients is to will rise, resulting in an increase in switch current and add a small aluminum electrolytic capacitor in parallel with output voltage.

The selected capacitor needs through the CSS capacitor to exceed ICSS the VC voltage is to have the right amount of ESR to critically damp the reduced resulting in a constant dV/dt at the output. As the resonant circuit formed by the input lead inductance and feedback voltage increases ICSS increases, resulting in an the input capacitor. The typical values of ESR will fall in the increased dV/dt until the soft-start function is defeated range of 0.5Ω to 2Ω and capacitance will fall in the range with 0.9V present at the FB pin.
