APPLICATION INFORMATION
Introduction
The IRU3065 is a controller intended for an inverting
regulator solution. For example, to generate –5V from
a 5V supply. The controller is simple and only has a
voltage comparator, current hysteretic comparator, flipflop and MOSFET driver. It controls a typical buck boost
converter configured by a P-channel MOSFET, an inductor, a diode and an output capacitor. The sensed
inductor current by a sensing resistor compares with
current comparator. The current comparator uses hysteresis to control the turn-on and turn-off of the transistor based upon the inductor current and gated by the
output voltage level. When the inductor current rises
past the hysteresis set point, the output of the current
comparator goes high. The flip-flop is reset and the Pchannel MOSFET is turned off. In the mean time, the
current sense reference is reduced to near zero, giving
a zero reference threshold voltage level. As the inductor current passes below this threshold, which indicates
that the inductor’s stored energy has been transferred
to the output capacitor, the current comparator output
goes high and turns on the output transistor (if the output voltage is low). By means of hysteresis, the inductor charges and discharges and functions as self oscillating. The voltage feedback comparator acts as a demand governor to maintain the output voltage at the desired level.
By hysteresis control, the maximum switch current (also
equals inductor current) is limited by the internal current sensing reference. The power limit is automatically
achieved. The switching frequency is determined by a
combination of factors including the inductance, output
load current level and peak inductor current. The theoretical output voltage and switching frequency versus
output current is shown in Figure 3.

When the output current is below a critical current IOCP,
the output voltage is regulated at the desired value and
the switching frequency increases as output current
increases. At current IOCP, the switching frequency
reaches its maximum fS(MAX). In this region, the operation is in regulation mode. When the current goes above
IOCP, the operation goes into power limit mode. The output voltage starts to decrease and the output power is
limited. The switching frequency is also reduced.
Analysis shows that the current IOCP is determined by:

The maximum average inductor current equals
IAVG=(VISENTH_MAX+VISENTH_MIN)/Rs/2
IAVG=(145mV+50mV)/0.1ohm/2=1A
MOSFET Selection
A P-channel MOSFET is required. The peak current in
this case is equal to I PEAK =1.5A. The MOSFET
IRLML5203, from international Rectifier with ID=3A and
BVDSS=30V, is a good choice.
Input Capacitor
An input capacitor will help to minimize the induced
ripple on the +5V supply. A 1µF to 10µF X7R ceramic
capacitor is recommended.
Output Capacitor
An output capacitor is required to store energy from
transfer to the output inductor. Its capacitance and ESR
have a great impact on output voltage ripple. A 10µF to
22µF X7R Tantolum or ceramic capacitor is recommended.
Output Diode
The average diode current equals output current. In
this case, select the diode average current larger than
300mA. The lowest block voltage is VIN+(-VOUT). In this
case, It is 10V. In order to reduce the switching losses,
the Schottky diode is recommended. The diode 10BQ015
from International Rectifier with ID=1A and VBR=15V is
a good choice.
Other Components
In order to speed up the turn off of P-channel MOSFET,
a fast diode 1N4148 or a 100ohm resistor and 100pF
capacitor is connected to the pin VDD and VGATE as shown

in figure 1. The schottky diode can be replaced with a
100Ω resistor (Figure 28.) with a small sacrifice of efficiency but lower cost.
Thermal Consideration
The thermal design is to ensure maximum junction temperature of IRU3065 will not exceed the maximum operation junction temperature, which is 125 C. The junction temperature can be estimated by the following:
TJ = PD×ΘJA+TA≤TJ(MAX) = 125 C
Where ΘJA is the thermal resistance from junction to
case which is usually provided in the specification. PD
is the power dissipation. TA is the ambient temperature.
The package thermal resistance of IRU3065 is estimated
as 230C/W due to compact package.
Assuming the maximum allowed ambient temperature
is 70C, the maximum power dissipation of IRU3065 will
be
Demo board Evaluation Results
Fig.1 shows the evaluation board schematic and the
selected components. The diode D1 can be replaced
with a 100ohm resistor. The measured efficiency versus load current is shown in Fig. 6. With the boot strap
schottky diode, the efficiency is slight higher comparing with using 100ohm resistor.
If higher efficiency is preferred, lower operation frequency should be selected. Figure. 5 shows a efficiency curve when 4.7uH inductor is chosen. The maximum operation frequency reduces from 800k to 250kHz.
As a results, efficiency is more than 10% higher.
For the application circuit shown in Fig.1. The measured output voltage versus output current is shown in
Figure 7. When the load current approaches 400mA,
the output voltage starts to drop and goes into power
limit mode. When output is about 1A, the output voltage
will goes almost zero.
PD<(125-70C)/ΘJA=(125-70)/230=240mW
For High Power Application
The IR3065 driver is designed to driver PMOS for low
current applications. Figure 4. shows the rise time versus cap load. For big capacitor load, the rise time is
increasing.
The current sensing comparator threshold voltage versus VCC is shown in Figure. 9. Since this threshold is
only a divided voltage of VCC, it will changes when
VCC changes. This should be aware in the application.

The output voltage versus Vin=VCC is shown in figure 11. Since the voltage reference is set by Vin. When
Vin changes, the output voltage will change along Vin.
Sometimes this feature is preferrable since Vout may
want to be tracked with Vin except the polarity. However, if more accurate output is required, a external
voltage reference should set the output voltage.

The internal gate driver of IRU3065 is designed for

external driver is recommended to driver the external
FETs.

The measured frequency versus load is listed in Figure 8. The highest switching frequency occurs at about
440mA. As load current goes up, the IC goes into
power limit mode and frequency automatically goes down
to protect the system.
For the evaluation board, the measured inductor voltage waveforms are listed in Figure 13-17. Figure 15
shows the measured inductor voltage waveform when
output current is 250mA, which the converter is operated in regulation mode and output voltage is regulated
at desired voltage -5V. Figure 16 shows the measured
inductor voltage waveform when the output current is
equal to the critical current IOCP. Figure 17 shows the
measured inductor voltage waveform when the output is
in short circuit, which indicates that the converter is in
power limit mode and output voltage is near zero.

THEORETICAL OPERATION
Operation-Regulation Mode
V g a te
V in
In the evaluation board, the output voltage is regulated
at -5V, as shown in figure 7. The steady state of the
converter should be operated in this mode. One feature
in this mode is that the shaded inductor current in figure 18 stays unchanged. The average output diode current equals output current. When the switching period
decreases and frequency goes up, the average diode
current increases to support more output current. The
switching frequency increases linearly when the load
current increases as shown in figure 20.

reference of the chip, which is set to be 150mV (for
Vcc=5V), the flip-flop is reset and the PMOS is turned
off. The inductor current is discharged through diode
D2 to the load. The load voltage increases. When the
inductor current decreases to zero, the output current
is supplied by the output capacitor and the output voltage decreases until next cycle starts. In this mode, the
voltage at VSEN pin is controlled near zero. Therefore,
the output voltage is regulated at:

Figure 18 - Operation waveforms of IRU3065 controlled buck boost converter at regulation mode.
In general, IRU3065 controlled buck boost converter
is operated in two modes depending on the load current. When the load current is small, the buck boost
operated in first mode (regulation mode). The operation
waveforms are shown in figure 18. In this mode, the
inductor current in the buck converter is discontinuous.
Basic Operation
When the voltage at VSEN pin is below zero, the flip-flop
inside the IC is set and the VGATE pin output low, which
trigger the PMOS in the power stage, the output inductor current increases from zero. When sensed inductor
current voltage at ISEN pin reaches the internal current

Power Limit Mode
When the output current continuous increases, the
switching period continuous decreases until the inductor current goes into the boundary of discontinuous and
continuous mode as shown in Figure 21. Then the
IRU3065 controlled buck boost converter goes into power
limit mode. In this mode, the output power is limited.
The output voltage is no longer regulated. The output
voltage decreases when the load current increases as
shown in Figure 19. In this mode, the shaded inductor
current in Figure 18 keeps same. The turn off time period is dependent on the output voltage. When the output current increases, the output voltage decreases and
it takes more time for the inductor current to reset from
peak current to zero. Therefore, the turn off period increases. Overall the switching frequency decreases
when load current increases as shown in Figure 20.
Influence of System Parameters
From above section, there is a critical output current
IOCP. When the output current is larger than IOCP, the
output voltage is out of the regulation and switching frequency starts to decreases. When output current equals
IOCP, the frequency reaches its maximum fS(MAX). Analysis shows that the current IOCP and maximum frequency
fS(MAX) strongly depends on the parameters such as current sensing resistor RS and inductance L as well as the
input and output voltage.

And the peak current is given by:

---(5)
Where tON is the turn on time of the PMOS.
Because the switch is turned off when sensed inductor

holds:

Where VD is the forward voltage drop of output diode D2.

Equation (15) can be rewritten as:
Because at regulation mode, the output voltage is regulated, i.e. VOUT=VOUT(NOM). Then the equation (10) can
be rewritten as:
fS =

-(VOUT - VD)

Power Limit Mode
When output current continuously increases and
IOUT=IOCP, the converter is in the boundary of regulation
mode and power limit mode with output voltage is regulated to nominal voltage VOUT=VOUT(NOM). As current continues to increase (IOUT>IOCP), the converter goes into
power limit mode. In this mode, the maximum inductor
current is limited by the internal current reference
VISEN=145mV. Therefore, the turn on time of the PMOS
keeps same as equation (7).
For turn off time, the inductor current theorectically
should decrease from IPEAK to zero if the threshold
voltage is close to zero , therefore:
Where VD is the forward voltage drop of output diode D2.

The expected switching frequency linearly increases
as output current goes up, as shown in Figure 20.

The above equation shows that the output voltage at the
power limit mode is not regulated. It decreases as the
output current increases.

When IOUT=IOCP, the switching frequency reaches its
maximum. Substitution of VOUT=VOUT(NOM) and equation
(6) into equation (13) results in the maximum switching
frequency:
