By means of an on board current sense resistor and the availability of the current sense pins, a current limit programming is very simple and accurate. Moreover, constant current control can be used to charge batteries. The device can be used as a standard DC-DC converter with adjustable current limit (set by using the external sense resistor). The internal robust N-channel MOS transistor with a typical value of 150 mΩ assures high efficiency and a minimum dropout even at high output current level. The internal limiting current of typical value of 3.5 A protects the device from accidental overload avoiding dangerous loads damage. When overload or output short, the main switch is turned on and off periodically to limit the current delivered to the load, protect the load and the device itself. When output short is removed or the load decrease to normal, the output voltage recovers. If the temperature of the chip goes higher than a fixed internal threshold (150 °C with 20°C hysteresis), the device is turned off. The internal fixed switching frequency of 120 kHz, and the small SOP-8/ESOP-8 packages allow building an ultra compact DC-DC converter with a minimum board space. VER 1.1 4 ACE752D 120KHz 3.5A Buck DC-DC Converter APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Output Voltage and Feedback Loop Settings Refer to the figure 1, the output voltage of the switching regulator (VOUT) can be set with Equation following: VOUT = (1+ R3 )X0.835V R4 The limit current is set by the external resistor R2: ILIMIT = 70mV R2 The ACE752D uses a patent-pending output voltage compensation scheme for the conductor wire loss by properly selecting the value of R3, R4, if the conductor resistance is Rline, current sense resistor is R2 (Refer to the figure1), then: R3 = R4 = Rline 200μ*R2 0.835*R3 VOUT-0.835 For Rline=70mΩ, R2=33.3mΩ (2.1A current limit as figure 1), VOUT=5V: R3=11k, R4=2.2k, choose R3=10k, R4=2k as the figure1. Component Selection Inductor Selection The ACE752D can utilize small inductors due to its fast 120kHz switching frequency. Typically, a 100µH inductor is recommended for most applications. Larger values of inductance will allow greater output current capability by reducing the inductor ripple current. Increasing the inductance above will also increase size. The inductor current ripple is typically set for 20% to 40% of the maximum inductor current (IP). The inductor should have low DCR (series resistance of the windings) to reduce the power losses, and must be able to handle the peak inductor current without saturating. To minimize radiated noise, use a shielded bobbin inductor. Output and Input Capacitor Selection Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) capacitors should be used to minimize the output voltage ripple. The parallel of multilayer ceramic and electrolytic capacitors is an excellent choice as they have extremely low ESR and are low cost. A parallel of 10µF ceramic capacitor and 220µF electrolytic capacitor is sufficient for most applications. Larger values may be used to obtain extremely low output voltage ripple and improve transient response. Low ESR input capacitors reduce input switching noise and reduce the peak current drawn from the battery. It follows that ceramic capacitors are also a good choice for input decoupling, and should be located as close as possible to the device. A 10µF input capacitor is sufficient for virtually any application. For all the ceramic capacitors above, X5R and X7R dielectric materials are preferred, for their ability to maintain capacitance over wide voltage and temperature ranges.
