AOZ1268QI-02
Detailed Description
The AOZ1268-02 is a high-efficiency, easy-to-use,
synchronous buck regulator optimized for notebook
computers. The regulator is capable of supplying 10A of
continuous output current with an output voltage
adjustable down to 0.8V. The programmable operating
frequency range of 200kHz to 1MHz enables optimizing
the configuration for PCB area and efficiency.
The input voltage of AOZ1268-02 can be as low as 2.7V.
The highest input voltage of AOZ1268-02 can be 28V.
Constant on-time PWM with input feed-forward control
scheme results in ultra-fast transient response while
maintaining relatively constant switching frequency over
the entire input range. True AC current mode control
scheme guarantees the regulator can be stable with a
ceramic output capacitor. The switching frequency can
be externally programmed up to 1MHz. Protection
features include VCC under-voltage lockout, valley
current limit, output over voltage and under voltage
protection, short-circuit protection, and thermal
shutdown.
The AOZ1268-02 is available in 23-pin 4mm x 4mm QFN
package.
Enable and Soft Start
The AOZ1268-02 has external soft start feature to limit
in-rush current and ensure the output voltage ramps up
smoothly to regulation voltage. A soft start process
begins when VCC rises to 4.1V and voltage on EN pin is
HIGH. An internal current source charges the external
soft-start capacitor; the FB voltage follows the voltage of
soft-start pin (VSS) when it is lower than 0.8V. When VSS
is higher than 0.8V, the FB voltage is regulated by
internal precise band-gap voltage (0.8V). The soft-start
time can be calculated by the following formula:
TSS(s) = 330 x CSS(nF)
TVO,READY(s) = 93 x CSS(nF)
If CSS is 1nF, the soft-start time will be 330µs; if CSS is
10nF, the soft-start time will be 3.3ms.
If output voltage is within specification, the PGOOD pin
could be pulled high as soon as the soft-start time
completes. Then, PGOOD high-time delay after output
voltage ready is calculated by:
TSS - TVO,READY
Constant-On-Time PWM Control with Input

Figure 1. Simplified Control Schematic of AOZ1268-02
The high-side switch on-time is determined solely by a
one-shot whose pulse width can be programmed by one
external resistor and is inversely proportional to input
voltage (IN). The one-shot is triggered when the internal
0.8V is lower than the combined information of FB
voltage and the AC current information of inductor, which
is processed and obtained through the sensed lower-side
MOSFET current once it turns on. The added AC current
information can help the stability of constant-on time
control even with pure ceramic output capacitors, which
have very low ESR. The AC current information has no
DC offset, which does not cause offset with output load
change, which is fundamentally different from other V2
constant-on time control schemes.
The constant-on-time PWM control architecture is a
pseudo-fixed frequency with input voltage feed-forward.
The internal circuit of AOZ1268-02 sets the on-time of
high-side switch inversely proportional to the IN.

Once the product of VIN x TON is constant, the switching

voltage.

If VOUT is 1.8V, RTON is 137k, the switching frequency

This algorithm results in a nearly constant switching
frequency despite the lack of a fixed-frequency clock
generator.
True Current Mode Control
The constant-on-time control scheme is intrinsically
unstable if output capacitor’s ESR is not large enough as
an effective current-sense resistor. Ceramic capacitors
usually cannot be used as output capacitor.
The AOZ1268-02 senses the low-side MOSFET current
and processes it into DC and AC current information
using AOS proprietary technique. The AC current
information is decoded and added on the FB pin on
phase. With AC current information, the stability of
constant-on-time control is significantly improved even
without the help of output capacitor’s ESR, and thus the
pure ceramic capacitor solution can be applicable. The
pure ceramic capacitor solution can significantly reduce
the output ripple (no ESR caused overshoot and
undershoot) and less board area design.
Valley Current-Limit Protection
The AOZ1268-02 uses the valley current-limit protection
by using RDSON of the lower MOSFET current sensing.
To detect real current information, a minimum constantoff (150ns typical) is implemented after a constant-on
time. If the current exceeds the valley current-limit
threshold, the PWM controller is not allowed to initiate a
new cycle. The actual peak current is greater than the
valley current-limit threshold by an amount equal to the
inductor ripple current. Therefore, the exact current-limit
characteristic and maximum load capability are a
function of the inductor value as well as input and output
voltages. The current limit will keep the low-side
MOSFET ON and will not allow another high-side ontime, until the current in the low-side MOSFET reduces
below the current limit. Figure 2 shows the inductor
current during the current limit.
Rev. 2.0 July 2014
Time
Figure 2. Inductor Current
After 128s (typical), the AOZ1268-02 considers this is a
true failed condition and therefore, turns-off both highside and low-side MOSFETs and latches off. When
triggered, only the enable can restart the AOZ1268-02
again.
Output Voltage Under-Voltage Protection
If the output voltage is lower than 15% by over-current or
short circuit, the AOZ1268-02 will wait for 128s (typical)
and turns-off both high-side and low-side MOSFETs and
latches off. When triggered, only the enable can restart
the AOZ1268-02 again.
Output Voltage Over-Voltage Protection
The threshold of OVP is set 15% higher than 800mV.
When the VFB voltage exceeds the OVP threshold, highside MOSFET is turned-off and low-side MOSFETs is
turned-on until VFB voltage is lower than 800mV.
Power Good Output
The power good (PGOOD) output, which is an open
drain output, requires the pull-up resistor. When the
output voltage is 10% below than the nominal regulation
voltage for 50s (typical), the PGOOD is pulled low.
When the output voltage is 15% higher than the nominal
regulation voltage, the PGOOD is also pulled low.
When combined with the under-voltage-protection circuit,
this current limit method is effective in almost every
circumstance.

Application Information
The basic AOZ1268-02 application circuit is shown in
page 2. Component selection is explained below.
Input Capacitor
The input capacitor must be connected to the IN pins and
PGND pin of the AOZ1268-02 to maintain steady input
voltage and filter out the pulsing input current. A small
decoupling capacitor, usually 1F, should be connected
to the VCC pin and AGND pin for stable operation of the
AOZ1268-02. The voltage rating of input capacitor must
be greater than maximum input voltage plus ripple
voltage.
The input ripple voltage can be approximated by
equation below:
Inductor
The inductor is used to supply constant current to output
when it is driven by a switching voltage. For given input
and output voltage, inductance and switching frequency
together decide the inductor ripple current, which is:
VO  VO
IO

V IN = -----------------   1 – ---------  --------V IN V IN
f  C IN 
Since the input current is discontinuous in a buck
converter, the current stress on the input capacitor is
another concern when selecting the capacitor. For a buck
circuit, the RMS value of input capacitor current can be
calculated by:
VO 
VO 
I CIN_RMS = I O  ---------  1 – ---------
V IN 
V IN
VO 
VO 
I L = -----------   1 – ---------
V IN
fL 
The peak inductor current is:
I L
I Lpeak = I O + -------2
if let m equal the conversion ratio:
VO
-------- = m
V IN
The relation between the input capacitor RMS current
and voltage conversion ratio is calculated and shown in
Figure 3. It can be seen that when VO is half of VIN, CIN it
is under the worst current stress. The worst current
stress on CIN is 0.5 x IO.
High inductance gives low inductor ripple current but
requires a larger size inductor to avoid saturation. Low
ripple current reduces inductor core losses. It also
reduces RMS current through inductor and switches,
which results in less conduction loss. Usually, peak to
peak ripple current on inductor is designed to be 30% to
50% of output current.
When selecting the inductor, make sure it is able to
handle the peak current without saturation even at the
highest operating temperature.
The inductor takes the highest current in a buck circuit.
The conduction loss on the inductor needs to be checked
for thermal and efficiency requirements.

Surface mount inductors in different shapes and styles
are available from Coilcraft, Elytone and Murata.
Shielded inductors are small and radiate less EMI noise,
but they do cost more than unshielded inductors. The
choice depends on EMI requirement, price and size.

For reliable operation and best performance, the input
capacitors must have current rating higher than ICIN-RMS
at worst operating conditions. Ceramic capacitors are
preferred for input capacitors because of their low ESR
and high ripple current rating. Depending on the
application circuits, other low ESR tantalum capacitor or
aluminum electrolytic capacitor may also be used. When
selecting ceramic capacitors, X5R or X7R type dielectric
ceramic capacitors are preferred for their better
temperature and voltage characteristics. Note that the
ripple current rating from capacitor manufactures is
based on certain amount of life time. Further de-rating
may be necessary for practical design requirement.

Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is selected based on the DC output
voltage rating, output ripple voltage specification and
ripple current rating.
The selected output capacitor must have a higher rated
voltage specification than the maximum desired output
voltage including ripple. De-rating needs to be
considered for long term reliability.
Output ripple voltage specification is another important
factor for selecting the output capacitor. In a buck converter circuit, output ripple voltage is determined by
inductor value, switching frequency, output capacitor
value and ESR. It can be calculated by the equation
below:
1
V O = I L   ESR CO + -------------------------

8fC 
O
where,
CO is output capacitor value and
ESRCO is the Equivalent Series Resistor of output capacitor.
When a low ESR ceramic capacitor is used as output
capacitor, the impedance of the capacitor at the
switching frequency dominates. Output ripple is mainly
caused by capacitor value and inductor ripple current.
The output ripple voltage calculation can be simplified to:
1
V O = I L  ------------------------8fC
O
If the impedance of ESR at switching frequency
dominates, the output ripple voltage is mainly decided by
capacitor ESR and inductor ripple current. The output
ripple voltage calculation can be further simplified to:
V O = I L  ESR CO
Thermal Management and Layout
Consideration
In the AOZ1268-02 buck regulator circuit, high pulsing
current flows through two circuit loops. The first loop
starts from the input capacitors, to the VIN pin, to the LX
pins, to the filter inductor, to the output capacitor and
load, and then returns to the input capacitor through
ground. Current flows in the first loop when the high side
switch is on. The second loop starts from the inductor, to
the output capacitors and load, to the low side switch.
Current flows in the second loop when the low side
switch is on.
In PCB layout, minimizing the two loops area reduces the
noise of this circuit and improves efficiency. A ground
plane is strongly recommended to connect the input
capacitor, output capacitor and PGND pin of the
AOZ1268-02.
In the AOZ1268-02 buck regulator circuit, the major
power dissipating components are the AOZ1268-02 and
output inductor. The total power dissipation of the converter circuit can be measured by input power minus output power.
P total_loss = V IN  I IN – V O  I O
The power dissipation of inductor can be approximately
calculated by output current and DCR of inductor and
output current.
P inductor_loss = IO2  R inductor  1.1
The actual junction temperature can be calculated with
power dissipation in the AOZ1268-02 and thermal
impedance from junction to ambient.
T junction =  P total_loss – P inductor_loss    JA
For lower output ripple voltage across the entire
operating temperature range, X5R or X7R dielectric type
of ceramic, or other low ESR tantalum are recommended
to be used as output capacitors.
In a buck converter, output capacitor current is
continuous. The RMS current of output capacitor is
decided by the peak to peak inductor ripple current.
It can be calculated by:
The maximum junction temperature of AOZ1268-02 is
150ºC, which limits the maximum load current capability.
The thermal performance of the AOZ1268-02 is strongly
affected by the PCB layout. Extra care should be taken
by users during design process to ensure that the IC will
operate under the recommended environmental
conditions.

I CO_RMS = ---------12
Usually, the ripple current rating of the output capacitor is
a smaller issue because of the low current stress. When
the buck inductor is selected to be very small and
inductor ripple current is high, the output capacitor could
be overstressed.

Layout Considerations
Several layout tips are listed below for the best electric
and thermal performance.
4. Decoupling capacitor CVCC should be connected to
VCC and AGND as close as possible.
1. The LX pins and pad are connected to internal low
side switch drain. They are low resistance thermal
conduction path and most noisy switching node.
Connect a large copper plane to LX pin to help
thermal dissipation.
5. Voltage divider R1 and R2 should be placed as close
as possible to FB and AGND.
6. RTON should be put on PCB reverse side of feedback
network or away from FB pin and FB feedback resistors to avoid unwanted touch to short Ton pin and FB
together to ground to cause improperly operation.
2. The IN pins and pad are connected to internal high
side switch drain. They are also low resistance
thermal conduction path. Connect a large copper
plane to IN pins to help thermal dissipation.
7. A ground plane is preferred; Pin 19 (PGND) must be
connected to the ground plane through via.
3. Input capacitors should be connected to the IN pin
and the PGND pin as close as possible to reduce the
switching spikes.
8. Keep sensitive signal traces such as feedback trace
far away from the LX pins.
9. Pour copper plane on all unused board area and
connect it to stable DC nodes, like VIN, GND or
VOUT.
