The output voltage of the converter can be set as low as 1.225V with external resistive divider. When trans-conductance signal is higher than saw-tooth wave, then PWM comparator will produce ON-time signal to set internal flip-flop, which turns on the switching power MOSFET. The external inductor current ramps up linearly, storing energy in a magnetic field. Once peak current of flowing through switching power MOSFET over current-limited threshold or trans-conductance signal level is lower than saw-tooth wave, the switching power MOSFET will turns off, the flip-flop resets, and external schottky diode turns on. This forces the current through the inductor to ramp back down, transferring the energy stored in the magnetic field to the output capacitor and load. To add higher flexibility to the selection of external component values, the device uses external loop compensation. Enable Control Digital logic of EN provides an electrical ON/OFF control of the power supply. Connecting this pin to ground or to any voltage less than 1.0V will completely turn OFF the regulator. In this state, current drain from the input supply is only 20µA, the internal reference, error amplifier, comparators, and biasing circuitry turn off . When EN control is not required that it should be left open circuited. Soft-Start AT1792 is built-in soft-start function. When power up, after input voltage is above the under-voltage lockout threshold, then soft-start allows a gradual increase of COMP voltage to get to a steady state operating point. Therefore, reducing input surge currents. During this time, the COMP voltage increases and the output duty cycle is allowed to increase from zero to the value required for regulation. The maximum load current is available after the soft-start cycle is completed. When EN pin is taken low, the soft-start capacitor is discharge to ground. Short-Circuit Protection If feedback voltage of the regulator falls below 0.85V, the oscillator clock switched operating frequency to 32KHz and duty cycle is limited to 5% to reduce input power delivered to output. If the short circuitry is not removed, the protection circuitry will activate sustainability. When short-circuit problem is to eliminate, oscillator clock will switch back to 300KHz automatically. 7F, No.9, PARK AVENUE II, Science-Based Industrial Park, Hsinchu 300,Taiwan, R.O.C.

Current limit is accomplished using a separate dedicated comparator. If the current sense amplifier output voltage is larger than current-limited threshold level, it will be immediately turned off power MOS. The current-limit feature protects against a hard short or over current fault at the output. 7F, No.9, PARK AVENUE II, Science-Based Industrial Park, Hsinchu 300,Taiwan, R.O.C.

It must be to follow regulation by the output voltage and the maximum load current, as well as maximum and minimum input voltages. Begin by selecting an inductor value. Once L is know, choose the diode and capacitors. Inductor Inductor selection depends on input voltage, output voltage, maximum current, switching frequency and availability of inductor values. The following buck circuit equations are useful in choosing the inductor values based on the application. Choose an inductor that does not saturate under the maximum rating load conditions. The magnitude of inductance is selected to maintain a peak to peak ripple current of 30% of the maximum load current. The peak inductor current is given by: I Lpeak = I LAVG + I LAVG = D= ∆I L 2 I in D VO Vin D is the MOSFET turn on ratio where: △IL is the inductor peak-to-peak current ripple and is decided by: (V − VO ) × D V − VO D ∆I L = in × ⇒ L = in L f OSC ∆I L × f OSC fOSC is the switching frequency. The inductor should be chosen to be able to handle this current and inductor saturation current rating should be greater than IPEAK. Diode selection When the power switch turns off, the current through the inductor continues to flow. The path for this current is through the diode connected between the switch output and ground. This forward biased diode must has a minimum voltage drop and recovery times. Schottky diode is recommended and it should be able to handle those current. As usual, the reverse voltage rating of the diode should be at least 1.3 times greater than the maximum input voltage, and current rating is greater than the maximum load current. 7F, No.9, PARK AVENUE II, Science-Based Industrial Park, Hsinchu 300,Taiwan, R.O.C.

Current drawn by the resistor network should be limited to maintain the overall converter efficiency. The maximum value of the resistor network is limited by the feedback input bias current and the potential for noise being coupled into the feedback pin. A resistor network in the order of 100kΩ is recommended. The buck converter output voltage is determined by the following relationship: ⎛ R ⎞ VO = VREF × ⎜⎜1 + 3 ⎟⎟ ⎝ R2 ⎠ where VREF =1.225V as specified. Input capacitor An input capacitor helps to provide additional current to the power supply as well as smooth input voltage variations in high current switching regulators. When selecting an input capacitor, a low ESR capacitor is required to keep the noise at the IC to a minimum. Ceramic capacitors are preferred, but tantalum or low-ESR electrolytic capacitors may also suffice. Choose an input capacitor with maximum voltage rating is 1.3 times greater than the maximum input voltage, and RMS current rating is equal to one-half of the maximum dc load current. It may be necessary in some designs to add a small valued ceramic type capacitor in parallel with the input capacitor to prevent any ring. Output Capacitor The output capacitor acts to smooth the dc output voltage and also provides energy storage. Selection of an output capacitor, with an associated equivalent series resistance (ESR), impacts both the amount of output ripple voltage and stability of the control loop. Low ESR capacitors are preferred to keep the output voltage ripple low. The output voltage ripple is estimated to be: (1 − D) × VO ∆Vripple = 2 8 × L × C OUT × f OSC For low ESR ceramic capacitors, the output ripple is dominated by the charging or discharging of the output capacitor. 7F, No.9, PARK AVENUE II, Science-Based Industrial Park, Hsinchu 300,Taiwan, R.O.C.

The output ripple is estimated as: V RIPPLE ≅ ∆I L × RESR Impacting frequency stability of the overall control loop, the output capacitance, in conjunction with the inductor, creates a double pole inside the feedback loop. In addition the capacitance and the ESR value create a zero. These frequency response effects together with the internal frequency compensation circuitry of AT1792 modify the gain and phase shift of the closed loop system. Compensation The step-down loop can be compensated by adjusting the external components connected to the COMP pin. The COMP pin is connected to the output of the internal trans-conductance error amplifier. The compensation capacitor adjusts the low frequency gain , and the series resistor value adjusts the high frequency gain. A series capacitor-resistor combination sets a pole-zero combination to control the characteristics of the control system. The system has 2 poles and one zero of importance, 2 poles consist of compensation capacitor and output capacitor. One zero is produced by the compensation capacitor and the compensation resistor. If electrolytic capacitor with relatively high ESR is used, the zero due to the capacitance and ESR of the output capacitor can be compensated by a third pole set by the compensation resistor and another compensation capacitor connected form COMP pin to ground. PCB layout guidelines Careful printed circuit layout is extremely important to avoid causing parasitical capacitance and line inductance. The following layout guidelines are recommended to achieve optimum performance. ‧ Please the buck converter diode and inductor close to the SW pin and no via. ‧ Please ceramic bypass capacitors near the input pin. ‧ Locate all feedback resistive dividers as close to their respective feedback pins as possible. ‧ Use wide traces and trace length is short as possible. 7F, No.9, PARK AVENUE II, Science-Based Industrial Park, Hsinchu 300,Taiwan, R.O.C.
