The RT5710B uses a constant on-time, current mode architecture. In normal operation, the high side P-MOSFET is turned on when the switch controller is set by the comparator and is turned off when the Ton UV Comparator comparator resets the switch controller. Enable Comparator Low side MOSFET peak current is measured by internal RSENSE. The error amplifier EA adjusts COMP voltage by comparing the feedback signal (VFB) from the output voltage with the internal 0.6V reference. When the load current increases, it causes a drop in the feedback voltage relative to the reference, then the COMP voltage rises to allow higher inductor current to match the load current. A logic-high enables the converter; a logic-low forces the IC into shutdown mode. Copyright © 2015 Richtek Technology Corporation. All rights reserved. www.richtek.com 2 If the feedback voltage (VFB) is lower than threshold voltage 0.2V, the UV comparator's output will go high and the switch controller will turn off the high side MOSFET. The output under voltage protection is designed to operate in Hiccup mode. Soft-Start (SS) An internal current source charges an internal capacitor to build the soft-start ramp voltage. The VFB voltage will track the internal ramp voltage during soft-start interval. The typical soft-start time is 1.2ms. is a registered trademark of Richtek Technology Corporation. DS5710B-00 February 2015 RT5710B Over Current Protection (OCP) The RT5710B provides over current protection by detecting low side MOSFET valley inductor current. If the sensed valley inductor current is over the current limit threshold (1.5A typ.), the OCP will be triggered. When OCP is tripped, the RT5710B will keep the over current threshold level until the over current condition is removed. Thermal Shutdown (OTP) The device implements an internal thermal shutdown function when the junction temperature exceeds 150°C. The thermal shutdown forces the device to stop switching when the junction temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown threshold. Once the die temperature decreases below the hysteresis of 20°C, the device reinstates the power up sequence. Copyright © 2015 Richtek Technology Corporation. All rights reserved.

DS5710B-00 February 2015 RT5710B Application Information The RT5710B is a single-phase step-down converter. It provides single feedback loop, constant on-time current voltage at the FB pin, causing PWM pulse width to increase slowly and in turn reduce the input surge mode control with fast transient response. An internal 0.6V reference allows the output voltage to be precisely regulated for low output voltage applications. A fixed switching frequency (1.5MHz) oscillator and internal compensation are integrated to minimize external component count. Protection features include over current protection, under voltage protection and over temperature protection. current. The internal 0.6V reference takes over the loop control once the internal ramping-up voltage becomes higher than 0.6V. Output Voltage Setting Connect a resistive voltage divider at the FB between VOUT and GND to adjust the output voltage. The output voltage is set according to the following equation : VOUT = VREF 1 R1 R2 UVLO Protection The RT5710B has input Under Voltage Lockout protection (UVLO). If the input voltage exceeds the UVLO rising threshold voltage (2.25V typ.), the converter resets and prepares the PWM for operation. If the input voltage falls below the UVLO falling threshold voltage during normal operation, the device will stop switching. The UVLO rising and falling threshold voltage has a hysteresis to prevent noise-caused reset. Inductor Selection where VREF is the feedback reference voltage 0.6V (typ.). VOUT R1 FB R2 GND The switching frequency (on-time) and operating point (% ripple or LIR) determine the inductor value as shown below : L= fSW VOUT VIN VOUT LIR ILOAD(MAX) VIN where LIR is the ratio of the peak-to-peak ripple current to the average inductor current. Find a low loss inductor having the lowest possible DC Figure 1. Setting VOUT with a Voltage Divider Chip Enable and Disable The EN pin allows for power sequencing between the controller bias voltage and another voltage rail. The RT5710B remains in shutdown if the EN pin is lower than 400mV. When the EN pin rises above the VEN trip point, the RT5710B begins a new initialization and soft-start cycle. Internal Soft-Start The RT5710B provides an internal soft-start function to prevent large inrush current and output voltage overshoot when the converter starts up. The soft-start (SS) automatically begins once the chip is enabled. During soft-start, the internal soft-start capacitor becomes charged and generates a linear ramping up voltage across the capacitor. This voltage clamps the Copyright © 2015 Richtek Technology Corporation. All rights reserved. DS5710B-00 February 2015 resistance that fits in the allotted dimensions. The core must be large enough not to saturate at the peak inductor current (IPEAK) : IPEAK = ILOAD(MAX) + LIR ILOAD(MAX) 2 The calculation above serves as a general reference. To further improve transient response, the output inductor can be further reduced. This relation should be considered along with the selection of the output capacitor. Inductor saturation current should be chosen over IC’s current limit. Input Capacitor Selection High quality ceramic input decoupling capacitor, such as X5R or X7R, with values greater than 10F are recommended for the input capacitor. The X5R and is a registered trademark of Richtek Technology Corporation. www.richtek.com 11 RT5710B X7R ceramic capacitors are usually selected for power regulator capacitors because the dielectric material has less capacitance variation and more temperature Another parameter that has influence on the output voltage sag is the equivalent series inductance (ESL). The rapid change in load current results in di/dt during stability. transient. Therefore, the ESL contributes to part of the voltage sag. Using a capacitor with low ESL can obtain better transient performance. Generally, using several capacitors connected in parallel can have better transient performance than using a single capacitor for the same total ESR. Voltage rating and current rating are the key parameters when selecting an input capacitor. Generally, selecting an input capacitor with voltage rating 1.5 times greater than the maximum input voltage is a conservatively safe design. The input capacitor is used to supply the input RMS current, which can be approximately calculated using the following equation : IIN_RMS = ILOAD VOUT VIN V 1 OUT VIN The next step is selecting a proper capacitor for RMS current rating. One good design uses more than one capacitor with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) in parallel to form a capacitor bank. The input capacitance value determines the input ripple voltage of the regulator. The input voltage ripple can be approximately calculated using the following equation : VIN = IOUT(MAX) VOUT CIN fSW VIN V 1 OUT VIN Output Capacitor Selection The output capacitor and the inductor form a low pass filter in the Buck topology. In steady state condition, the ripple current flowing into/out of the capacitor results in ripple voltage. The output voltage ripple (VP-P) can be calculated by the following equation : 1 VP_P = LIR ILOAD(MAX) ESR + 8 COUT fSW When load transient occurs, the output capacitor supplies the load current before the controller can respond. Therefore, the ESR will dominate the output voltage sag during load transient. The output voltage undershoot (VSAG) can be calculated by the following equation : Thermal Considerations For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute maximum junction temperature. The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and difference between junction and ambient temperature. The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the following formula : PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) TA) / JA where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is the ambient temperature, and JA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. For recommended operating condition specifications, the maximum junction temperature is 125C. The junction to ambient thermal resistance, JA, is layout dependent. For WDFN-6L 2x2 package, the thermal resistance, JA, is 120C/W on a standard four-layer thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25C can be calculated by the following formula : PD(MAX) = (125C 25C) / (120C/W) = 0.833W for WDFN-6L 2x2 package The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating ambient temperature for fixed TJ(MAX) and thermal resistance, JA. The derating curve in Figure 2 allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature on the maximum power dissipation. VSAG = ILOAD ESR For a given output voltage sag specification, the ESR value can be determined. Copyright © 2015 Richtek Technology Corporation.
