NCP1521B
1.5 MHz, 600 mA Step-Down
DC-DC Converter
High−Efficiency, Low Ripple, Adjustable
Output Voltage
The NCP1521B step−down DC−DC converter is a monolithic
integrated circuit optimized for portable applications powered from one
cell Li−Ion or three cell Alkaline/NiCd/NiMH batteries. The part,
available in adjustable output voltage versions ranging from 0.9 V to
3.9 V, is able to deliver up to 600 mA. It uses synchronous rectification
to increase efficiency and reduce external part count. The device also
has a built−in 1.5 MHz (nominal) oscillator which reduces component
size by allowing smaller inductors and capacitors. Automatic switching
PWM/PFM mode offers improved system efficiency.
Additional features include integrated soft−start, cycle−by−cycle
current limiting and thermal shutdown protection. The NCP1521B is
available in a space saving, low profile TSOP5 and UDFN6 packages.

NCP1521B
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
Overview
VOUT
10mV/div
The NCP1521B uses a constant frequency, current mode
step−down architecture. Both the main (P−Channel
MOSFET) and synchronous (N−Channel MOSFET)
switches are internal.
It delivers a constant voltage from either a single Li−Ion
or three cell NiMH/NiCd battery to portable devices such
as cell phones and PDA. The output voltage is set by an
external resistor divider. The NCP1521B sources at least
600 mA, depending on external components chosen.
The NCP1521B works with two modes of operation;
PWM/PFM depending on the current required. In PWM
mode, the device can supply voltage with a tolerance of
"3% and 90% efficiency or better. Lighter load currents
cause the device to automatically switch into PFM mode
for reduced current consumption and extended battery life.
Additional features include soft−start, undervoltage
protection, current overload protection, and thermal
shutdown protection. As shown in Figure 1, only six
external components are required. The part uses an internal
reference voltage of 0.6 V. It is recommended to keep the
part in shutdown mode until the input voltage is 2.7 V or
higher.

(VIN = 3.6 V, VOUT = 1.2 V, IOUT = 600 mA)
PFM Operating Mode
Under light load conditions, the NCP1521B enters in low
current PFM mode operation to reduce power
consumption. The output regulation is implemented by
pulse frequency modulation. If the output voltage drops
below the threshold of PFM comparator, a new cycle will
be initiated by the PFM comparator to turn on the switch
Q1. Q1 remains ON during the minimum on time of the
structure while Q2 is in its current source mode. The peak
inductor current depends upon the drop between input and
output voltage. After a short dead time delay where Q1 is
switched OFF, Q2 is turned in its ON state. The negative
current detector will detect when the inductor current drops
below zero and sends the signal to turn Q2 to current source
mode to prevent a too large deregulation of the output
voltage. When the output voltage falls below the threshold
of the PFM comparator, a new cycle starts immediately.
PWM Operating Mode
In this mode, the output voltage of the NCP1521B is
regulated by modulating the on−time pulse width of the
main switch Q1 at a fixed frequency of 1.5 MHz. The
switching of the PMOS Q1 is controlled by a flip−flop
driven by the internal oscillator and a comparator that
compares the error signal from an error amplifier with the
sum of the sensed current signal and compensation ramp.
This driver switches ON and OFF the upper side transistor
(Q1) and switches the lower side transistor (Q2) in either
ON state or in current source mode. At the beginning of
each cycle, the main switch Q1 is turned ON while Q2 is
in its current source mode by the rising edge of the internal
oscillator clock. The inductor current ramps up until the
sum of the current sense signal and compensation ramp
becomes higher than the error voltage amplifier. Once this
has occurred, the PWM comparator resets the flip−flop, Q1
is turned OFF and the synchronous switch Q2 is turned in
its ON state. Q2 replaces the external Schottky diode to
reduce the conduction loss and improve the efficiency. To
avoid overall power loss, a certain amount of dead time is
introduced to ensure Q1 is completely turned OFF before
Q2 is being turned ON.

Cycle−by−Cycle Current Limitation
The minimum input voltage to maintain regulation can
be calculated as:
From the block diagram (Figure 4), an ILIM comparator
is used to realize cycle−by−cycle current limit protection.
The comparator compares the LX pin voltage with the
reference voltage, which is biased by a constant current. If
the inductor current reaches the limit, the ILIM comparator
detects the LX voltage falling below the reference voltage
and releases the signal to turn off the switch Q1. The
cycle−by−cycle current limit is set at 1200 mA (nom).

•
Short Circuit Protection
When the output is shorted to ground, the device limits
the inductor current. The duty−cycle is minimum and the
consumption on the input line is 300 mA (Typ). When the
short circuit condition is removed, the device returns to the
normal mode of operation.

USB or 5 V Rail Powered Applications
For USB or 5 V rail powered applications, NCP1521B is
able to supply voltages up to 3.9 V, 600 mA, operating in
PWM mode only, with high efficiency (Figure 29), low
output voltage ripple and good load regulation results over
all current range (Figure 30).
Soft−Start
The NCP1521B uses soft−start (300 ms Typ) to limit the
inrush current when the device is initially enabled.
Soft−start is implemented by gradually increasing the
reference voltage until it reaches the full reference voltage.
During startup, a pulsed current source charges the internal
soft−start capacitor to provide gradually increasing
reference voltage. When the voltage across the capacitor
ramps up to the nominal reference voltage, the pulsed
current source will be switched off and the reference
voltage will switch to the regular reference voltage.

Shutdown Mode
Forcing this pin to a voltage below 0.4 V will shut down
the IC. In shutdown mode, the internal reference, oscillator
and most of the control circuitries are turned off. Therefore,
the typical current consumption will be 0.3 mA (typical
value). Applying a voltage above 1.2 V to EN pin will
enable the device for normal operation. The typical
threshold is around 0.7 V. The device will go through
soft−start to normal operation.

temperature exceeds 160°C, the device shuts down. In this
mode switch Q1 and Q2 and the control circuits are all
turned off. The device restarts in soft−start after the
temperature drops below 135°C. This feature is provided
to prevent catastrophic failures from accidental device
overheating, and it is not intended as a substitute for proper
heatsinking.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Output Voltage Selection
The corner frequency is given by:
The output voltage is programmed through an external
resistor divider connected from VOUT to FB then to GND.
For low power consumption and noise immunity, the
resistor from FB to GND (R2) should be in the
[100 k−600 k] range. If R2 is 200 k given the VFB is 0.6 V,
the current through the divider will be 3.0 mA.
The formula below gives the value of VOUT, given the
desired R1 and the R1 value:

(eq. 3)
The device is intended to operate with inductance values
between 1.0 mH and maximum of 4.7 mH.
If the corner frequency is moved, it is recommended to
check the loop stability depending on the output ripple
voltage accepted and output current required. For lower
frequency, the stability will be increased; a larger output
capacitor value could be chosen without critical effect on
the system. On the other hand, a smaller capacitor value
increases the corner frequency and it should be critical for
the system stability. Take care to check the loop stability.
The phase margin is usually higher than 45°.

Table 2. L−C Filter Example
Input Capacitor Selection
In PWM operating mode, the input current is pulsating
with large switching noise. Using an input bypass capacitor
can reduce the peak current transients drawn from the
input supply source, thereby reducing switching noise
significantly. The capacitance needed for the input bypass
capacitor depends on the source impedance of the input
supply.
The maximum RMS current occurs at 50% duty cycle
with maximum output current, which is Iout_max/2.
For NCP1521B, a low profile, low ESR ceramic
capacitor of 4.7 mF should be used for most of the cases. For
effective bypass results, the input capacitor should be
placed as close as possible to the VIN pin.

Output L−C Filter Design Considerations
The NCP1521B operates at 1.5 MHz frequency and uses
current mode architecture. The correct selection of the
output filter ensures good stability and fast transient
response.
Due to the nature of the buck converter, the output L−C
filter must be selected to work with internal compensation.
For NCP1521B, the internal compensation is internally
fixed and it is optimized for an output filter of L = 2.2 mH
and COUT = 10 mF.
(eq. 5)
DIL(MAX) Maximum inductor current
DIO(MAX) Maximum Output current
The inductor’s resistance will factor into the overall
efficiency of the converter. For best performances, the DC
resistance should be less than 0.3 W for good efficiency.

Output Capacitor Selection
Selecting the proper output capacitor is based on the
desired output ripple voltage. Ceramic capacitors with low
ESR values will have the lowest output ripple voltage and
are strongly recommended. The output capacitor requires
either an X7R or X5R dielectric.
The output ripple voltage in PWM mode is given by:

Feed−Forward Capacitor Selection
The feed−forward capacitor sets the feedback loop
response and is critical to obtain good loop stability.
Given that the compensation is internally fixed, a fixed
18 pF or higher ceramic capacitor is needed. Choose a
small ceramic capacitor X7R or X5R or COG dielectric.
(eq. 6)
In PFM mode (at light load), the output voltage is
regulated by pulse frequency modulation. The output
voltage ripple is independent of the output capacitor value.
It is set by the threshold of PFM comparator.
