Function
High-Side Gate Drive Boost Input. BS supplies the drive for the high-side N-Channel MOSFET switch. Connect
a 0.01µF or greater capacitor from SW to BS to power the high side switch.
Power Input. IN supplies the power to the IC, as well as the step-down converter switches. Drive IN with a 4.7V
to 18V power source. Bypass IN to GND with a suitably large capacitor to eliminate noise on the input to the IC.
See Input Capacitor.
Power Switching Output. SW is the switching node that supplies power to the output. Connect the output LC
filter from SW to the output load. Note that a capacitor is required from SW to BS to power the high-side switch.
Ground (Connect the exposed pad to Pin 4).
Feedback Input. FB senses the output voltage and regulates it. Drive FB with a resistive voltage divider
connected to it from the output voltage. The feedback threshold is 0.925V. See Setting the Output Voltage.
Compensation Node. COMP is used to compensate the regulation control loop. Connect a series RC network
from COMP to GND. In some cases, an additional capacitor from COMP to GND is required. See
Compensation Components.
Enable Input. EN is a digital input that turns the regulator on or off. Drive EN high to turn on the regulator; low
to turn it off. Attach to IN with a 100kΩ pull up resistor for automatic startup.
Soft-Start Control Input. SS controls the soft-start period. Connect a capacitor from SS to GND to set the softstart period. A 0.1µF capacitor sets the soft-start period to 15ms. To disable the soft-start feature, leave SS
floating.
EP exposed thermal pad connect to Pin 4 GND, not applicable in the SO-8 package.

Applications Information
Theory of Operation
The AP6502 is a 2A current mode control, synchronous buck regulator with built in power MOSFETs. Current mode control assures excellent
NEW PRODUCT
line and load regulation and a wide loop bandwidth for fast response to load transients. Figure 3 depicts the functional block diagram of
AP6502.
The operation of one switching cycle can be explained as follows. At the beginning of each cycle, HS (high-side) MOSFET is off. The error
amplifier (EA) output voltage is higher than the current sense amplifier output, and the current comparator’s output is low. The rising edge of
the 340kHz oscillator clock signal sets the RS Flip-Flop. Its output turns on HS MOSFET. The current sense amplifier is reset for every
switching cycle.
When the HS MOSFET is on, inductor current starts to increase. The current sense amplifier senses and amplifies the inductor current. Since
the current mode control is subject to sub-harmonic oscillations that peak at half the switching frequency, ramp slope compensation is utilized.
This will help to stabilize the power supply. This ramp compensation is summed to the current sense amplifier output and compared to the
error amplifier output by the PWM comparator. When the sum of the current sense amplifier output and the slope compensation signal
exceeds the EA output voltage, the RS Flip-Flop is reset and HS MOSFET is turned off.
For one whole cycle, if the sum of the current sense amplifier output and the slope compensation signal does not exceed the EA output, then
the falling edge of the oscillator clock resets the Flip-Flop. The output of the error amplifier increases when feedback voltage (VFB) is lower
than the reference voltage of 0.925V. This also increases the inductor current as it is proportional to the EA voltage.
If in one cycle the current in the power MOSFET does not reach the COMP set current value, the power MOSFET will be forced to turn off.
When the HS MOSFET turns off, the synchronous LS MOSFET turns on until the next clock cycle begins. There is a “dead time” between the
HS turn off and LS turn on that prevents the switches from “shooting through” from the input supply to ground.
The voltage loop is compensated through an internal transconductance amplifier and can be adjusted through the external compensation
components.
Enable
Above the ‘EN Rising Threshold’, the internal regulator is turned on and the quiescent current can be measured above this threshold. The
enable (EN) input allows the user to control turning on or off the regulator. To enable the AP6502, EN must be pulled above the ‘EN Lockout
Threshold Voltage’ and to disable the AP6502, EN must be pulled below ‘EN Lockout Threshold Voltage - EN Lockout Hysteresis’
(2.2V-0.22V =1.98V).
External Soft Start
Soft start is traditionally implemented to prevent the excess inrush current.
This in turn prevents the converter output voltage from
overshooting when it reaches regulation. The AP6502 has an internal current source with a soft start capacitor to ramp the reference voltage
from 0V to 0.925V. The soft start current is 6uA. The soft start sequence is reset when there is a Thermal Shutdown, Under Voltage Lockout
(UVLO) or when the part is disabled using the EN pin.
External Soft Start can be calculated from the formula below:
ISS = C *
DV
DT
Where;
ISS = Soft Start Current
C = External Capacitor
DV = change in feedback voltage from 0V to maximum voltage
DT = Soft Start Time
Current Limit Protection
In order to reduce the total power dissipation and to protect the application, AP6502 has cycle-by-cycle current limiting implementation. The
voltage drop across the internal high-side MOSFET is sensed and compared with the internally set current limit threshold. This voltage drop is
sensed at about 30ns after the HS turns on. When the peak inductor current exceeds the set current limit threshold, current limit protection is
activated. During this time the feedback voltage (VFB) drops down. When the voltage at the FB pin reaches 0.3V, the internal oscillator shifts
the frequency from the normal operating frequency of 340kHz to a fold-back frequency of 102kHz. The current limit is reduced to 70% of
nominal current limit when the part is operating at 102kHz. This low fold-back frequency prevents runaway current.

Applications Information (cont.)
Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
Under Voltage Lockout is implemented to prevent the IC from insufficient input voltages. The AP6502 has a UVLO comparator that monitors
NEW PRODUCT
the input voltage and the internal bandgap reference. If the input voltage falls below 4.0V, the AP6502 will latch an under voltage fault. In this
event the output will be pulled low and power has to be re-cycled to reset the UVLO fault.
Over Voltage Protection
When the AP6502 FB pin exceeds 20% of the nominal regulation voltage of 0.925V, the over voltage comparator is tripped and the COMP
pin and the SS pin are discharged to GND, forcing the high-side switch off.
Thermal Shutdown
The AP6502 has on-chip thermal protection that prevents damage to the IC when the die temperature exceeds safe margins. It implements a
thermal sensing to monitor the operating junction temperature of the IC. Once the die temperature rises to approximately +160°C, the thermal
protection feature gets activated. The internal thermal sense circuitry turns the IC off thus preventing the power switch from damage.
A hysteresis in the thermal sense circuit allows the device to cool down to approximately +120°C before the IC is enabled again through soft
start. This thermal hysteresis feature prevents undesirable oscillations of the thermal protection circuit.
Setting the Output Voltage
The output voltage can be adjusted from 0.925V to 16V using an external resistor divider. Table 1 shows a list of resistor selection for
common output voltages. Resistor R1 is selected based on a design tradeoff between efficiency and output voltage accuracy. For high
values of R1 there is less current consumption in the feedback network. However the trade off is output voltage accuracy due to the bias
current in the error amplifier. R1 can be determined by the following equation:
⎛V
⎞
R1 = R 2 ⋅ ⎜⎜ OUT − 1⎟⎟
⎝ 0.925
⎠

When output voltage is low, network as shown in Figure 4 is recommended.

Compensation Components
The AP6502 has an external COMP pin through which system stability and transient response can be controlled. COMP pin is the output of
the internal trans-conductance error amplifier. A series capacitor-resistor combination sets a pole-zero combination to control the
characteristics of the control system. The DC gain of the voltage feedback loop is given by:
A VDC = RLOAD × GCS × A VEA ×
VFB
VOUT
Where VFB is the feedback voltage (0.925V), RLOAD is the load resistor value, GCS is the current sense trans-conductance and AVEA is the
error amplifier voltage gain.

One zero is present due to the compensation capacitor (C3) and the compensation resistor (R3). This zero is located at:

The goal of compensation design is to shape the converter transfer function to get a desired loop gain. The system crossover frequency
where the feedback loop has the unity gain is crucial.
A rule of thumb is to set the crossover frequency to below one-tenth of the switching frequency. Use the following procedure to optimize the
compensation components:
1. Choose the compensation resistor (R3) to set the desired crossover frequency. Determine the R3 value by the following equation:

crossover frequency to provide sufficient phase margin. Determine the C3 value by the following equation:

Calculating the inductor value is a critical factor in designing a buck converter. For most designs, the following equation can be used to
calculate the inductor value;
L=

Where ΔIL is the inductor ripple current.
And fSW is the buck converter switching frequency.

Applications Information (cont.)
Inductor (cont.)
Peak current determines the required saturation current rating, which influences the size of the inductor. Saturating the inductor decreases
the converter efficiency while increasing the temperatures of the inductor and the internal MOSFETs. Hence choosing an inductor with
NEW PRODUCT
appropriate saturation current rating is important.
A 1µH to 10µH inductor with a DC current rating of at least 25% percent higher than the maximum load current is recommended for most
applications.
For highest efficiency, the inductor’s DC resistance should be less than 200mΩ. Use a larger inductance for improved efficiency under light
load conditions.
Input Capacitor
The input capacitor reduces the surge current drawn from the input supply and the switching noise from the device. The input capacitor has
to sustain the ripple current produced during the on time on the upper MOSFET. It must hence have a low ESR to minimize the losses.
The RMS current rating of the input capacitor is a critical parameter that must be higher than the RMS input current. As a rule of thumb,
select an input capacitor which has RMs rating that is greater than half of the maximum load current.
Due to large dI/dt through the input capacitors, electrolytic or ceramics should be used. If a tantalum must be used, it must be surge
protected. Otherwise, capacitor failure could occur. For most applications, a 4.7µF ceramic capacitor is sufficient.
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor keeps the output voltage ripple small, ensures feedback loop stability and reduces the overshoot of the output voltage.
The output capacitor is a basic component for the fast response of the power supply. In fact, during load transient, for the first few
microseconds it supplies the current to the load. The converter recognizes the load transient and sets the duty cycle to maximum, but the
current slope is limited by the inductor value.
Maximum capacitance required can be calculated from the following equation:
ESR of the output capacitor dominates the output voltage ripple. The amount of ripple can be calculated from the equation below:
Vout capacitor = ΔI inductor * ESR
An output capacitor with ample capacitance and low ESR is the best option. For most applications, a 22µF ceramic capacitor will be
sufficient.

Applications Information (cont.)
PC Board Layout
This is a high switching frequency converter. Hence attention must be paid to the switching currents interference in the layout. Switching
current from one power device to another can generate voltage transients across the impedances of the interconnecting bond wires and

circuit traces. These interconnecting impedances should be minimized by using wide, short printed circuit traces.
AP6502SP-13 is exposed at the bottom of the package and must be soldered directly to a well designed thermal pad on the PCB. This will
help to increase the power dissipation. This is not applicable for the AP6502S-13.
External Bootstrap Diode
It is recommended that an external bootstrap diode be added when the input voltage is no greater than 5V or the 5V rail is available in the
system. This helps to improve the efficiency of the regulator. This solution is also applicable for D > 65%. The bootstrap diode can be a low
cost one such as BAT54 or a schottky that has a low Vf.
