Function Description
Operation
The APW7077/A operation can be best understood by
referring to the block diagram. The error amplifier
monitors the output voltage via the feedback resistor
divider by comparing the feedback voltage with the
reference voltage. When the feedback voltage is lower
than the reference voltage, the error amplifier output
will decrease. The error amplifier output is then
compared with the oscillator ramp voltage at the PWM
controller.
The APW7077/A series are low noise fixed frequency
voltage–mode PWM DC–DC controllers, and consist
of start–up circuit, reference voltage, oscillator, loop
compensation network, PWM control circuit, and low
ON resistance driver.
APW7077 provide on–chip feedback resistor and loop
compensation network, the system designer can get
the regulated fixed output voltage 3.3V and 5.0V with
a small number of external components, it is optimized
for battery powered portable products where large
output current is required. APW7077A provide internal
reference voltage 1.0V and output voltage setting by
external resistance for higher voltage requirement. The
quiescent current is typically 120uA (VOUT = 3.3V,
fsw = 300kHz), and can be further reduced to about
1.0uA when the chip is disabled (VCE < 0.7V).
Copyright  ANPEC Electronics Corp.
Rev. A.4 - Sep, 2005
When the feedback voltage is higher than the reference
voltage, the error amplifier output increases and the
duty cycle decreases. When the external power switch
is on, the current ramps up in the inductor, storing
energy in the magnetic field. When the external power
switch is off, the energy stored in the magnetic field is
transferred to the output filter capacitor and the load.
The output filter capacitor stores the charge while the

without over shooting issue whenever heavy load or
light load condition. The soft start time 25ms is
setting by internal circuit.
inductor current is higher than the output current, then
sustains the output voltage until the next switching
cycle.
Oscillator
As the load current is decreased, the switch transistor
turns on for a shorter duty cycle. Under the light load
condition, the controller will skip switching cycles to
reduce power consumption, so that high efficiency is
maintained at light loads.
The oscillator frequency is internally set to 300 kHz at
an accuracy of +/-10% and with low temperature
coefficient of 3.3%/°C.
Enable/Disable Operation
Fixed Output Voltage (for APW7077 only)
The APW7077/A series offer IC shutdown mode by chip
enable pin (CE pin) to reduce current consumption.
When voltage at pin CE is greater than 1.2 V, the
chip will be enabled, which means the controller is
in normal operation. When voltage at pin CE is less
than 0.7 V, the chip is disabled, which means IC is
shutdown and quiescent current become 1uA.
The APW7077 VOUT is set by an integrate feedback
resistor network. This is trimmed to a selected voltage
3.3 V or 5.0 V with an accuracy of +/-2.5%.
Setting Output Voltage (for APW7077A only)
For APW7077A, the output voltage is adjustable. The
output voltage is set using the FB pin and a resistor
divider connected to the output as shown in the typical
operating circuit. The internal reference voltage is 1.0V
with 2% variation, so the ratio of the feedback resistors
sets the output voltage according to the following
equation:
R2
V OUT = (1 +
) × 1.0V
R1
To avoid the thermal noise from feedback resistor,
(R1+R2) resistance smaller than 1MΩ and 1% variation
is recommended.
The CE pin pull high to VDD(or VOUT) by internal resistor,
and this resistance is greater than 1MΩ . So this chip
will enable normally when CE pin floating.
Important: DO NOT apply a voltage between 0.7V
to 1.2 V to pin CE as this is the CE pin’s hysteresis
voltage range. Clearly defined output states can
only be obtained by applying voltage out of this
range.
Compensation
The device is designed to operate in continuous
conduction mode. An internal compensation circuit
was designed to guarantee stability over the full
input/output voltage and full output load range.
Soft Start
There is a sof t start function is integration in
APW7077/A series to avoid the over shooting when
power on. When power is applied to the device, the
soft start circuit first pumps up the output voltage to
let VDD(or VOUT) approximately 1.65V at a fixed duty
cycle 50%. This is the voltage level at which the
controller can operate normally. When supply voltage
more than 1.65V the internal reference voltage will be

L≥
APW7077/A series are designed to work well with a
6.8 to 12uH inductors in most applications 10uH is a
sufficiently low value to allow the use of a small
surface mount coil, but large enough to maintain low
ripple. Lower inductance values supply higher output
current, but also increase the ripple and reduce
efficiency. Higher inductor values reduce ripple and
improve efficiency, but also limit output current. The
inductor should have small DCR, usually less than
1mΩ, to minimize loss. It is necessary to choose an
inductor with a saturation current greater than the peak
current which the inductor will encounter in the
application.

fsw × IO × Ratio
A system can be designed to operate in continuous
mode for load currents above a certain level usually
20 to 50% (Ratio define as 0.2~0.5) of full load at
minimum input voltage. When IO smaller than (IO*Ratio),
the controller system will into DCM.
∆IL is the ripple current flowing through the inductor,

Based on 20%(Ratio=0.2) current ripple, VOUT=5V,
IO=1A and VIN =1.8V system, the inductance value is
calculated as 6.9uH and a 6.8uH inductor is used.
The inductor ripple current is important for a few
reasons. One reason is because the peak switch
current will be the average inductor current (IL) plus
∆IL.
The inductor current ripple has an expression
∆ IL =
As a side note, discontinuous operation occurs when
the inductor current falls to zero during a switching
cycle, or ∆I L is greater than the average inductor
current. Therefore, continuous conduction mode occurs

Inductor Selection (Cont.)
If the regulator will be loaded uniformly, with very little
load changes, and at lower current outputs, the input
capacitor size can often be reduced. The size can also
be reduced if the input of the regulator is very close to
the source output. The size will generally need to be
larger for applications where the regulator is supplying
nearly the maximum rated output or if large load steps
are expected. A minimum value of 10µF should be
used for the less stressful conditions while a 22µF to
47µF capacitor may be required for higher power and
dynamic loads. Small ESR Tantalum or ceramic capacitor should be suitable and the total input ripple
voltage can be calculated
when ∆IL is less than the average inductor current.
Care must be taken to make sure that the switch will
not reach its current limit during normal operation.
The inductor must also be sized accordingly. It should
have a saturation current rating higher than the peak
inductor current expected. The output voltage ripple is
also affected by the total ripple current.
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is used for sustaining the output
voltage when the external MOSFET or bipolar
transistor is switched on and smoothing the ripple
voltage.
∆ V IN = ∆ I L × ESR
The output capacitance needed is calculated in

equations.
It is supposed that a step–up DC–DC controller with
3.3 V output delivering a maximum 1000 mA output
current with 100 mV output ripple voltage powering
from a 2.4 V input is to be designed.
COUT (min) =
IO(max) × D

The ESR is also important because it determines the
peak to peak output voltage ripple according to the
approximate equation:
ESR =

VIN = 2.4 V

With 1% output voltage ripple, low ESR capacitor
should be used to reduce output ripple voltage. In
general, a 100uF to 220uF low ESR (0.10Ω to 0.30Ω)
Tantalum capacitor should be appropriate. The choice

of output capacitors is also somewhat arbitrary and
depends on the design requirements for output voltage
ripple. A minimum value of 10µF is recommended and
may be increased to a larger value.

Design Example(Cont.)
Determine the output capacitance value for the desired

Determine the average inductor current and peak inductor current:
COUT=33uF
The ESR of the output capacitor is 0.05Ω . Therefore,
IL=1.38A
∆IL=0.218A
Ipk=1.45A
a Tantalum capacitor with value of 33 uF to 47uF and
ESR of 0.05Ω can be used as the output capacitor.
Therefore, a 10 uH inductor with saturation current
larger than 1.73 A can be selected as the initial trial.
However, according to experimental result, 220uF
output capacitor gives better overall operational stability
and smaller ripple voltage.
External Component Selection
Diode Selection
External Switch Transistor
The output diode for a boost regulator must be chosen correctly depending on the output voltage and the
output current. The diode must be rated for a reverse
voltage equal to or greater than the output voltage used.
The average current rating must be greater than the
maximum load current expected, and the peak current rating must be greater than the peak inductor
current. During short circuit testing, or if short circuit
conditions are possible in the application, the diode
current rating must exceed the switch current limit.
The diode is the largest source of loss in DC–DC
converters. The most importance parameters which
affect their efficiency are the forward voltage drop, VF,
and the reverse recovery time, trr. The forward voltage
drop creates a loss just by having a voltage across
the device while a current flowing through it. The reverse recovery time generates a loss when the diode
is reverse biased, and the current appears to actually
flow backwards through the diode due to the minority
carriers being swept from the P–N junction. Using
Schottky diodes with lower forward voltage drop will
decrease power dissipation and increase efficiency.
An enhancement N–channel MOSFET or a bipolar NPN
transistor can be used as the external switch transistor.
Since enhancement MOSFET is a voltage driven
device, it is a more efficient switch than a BJT
transistor. However, the MOSFET requires a higher
voltage to turn on as compared with BJT transistors.
An enhancement N–channel MOSFET can be selected

• Low ON–resistance, RDS(on).
• Low gate threshold voltage, VGS(th), typically
<1.5V, it is especially important for the low VOUT
device, like VOUT = 2.4V.
• Rated continuous drain current, ID, should be
larger than the peak inductor current, i.e. ID > IPK.
• Gate capacitance should be 1200 pF or less.
For bipolar NPN transistor, medium power transistor

the controller’s EXT pin must be able to supply the
necessary driving current. Rb can be calculated by
the following equation:
It is due to the variation in the characteristics of the
transistor used. The calculated value should be used
as the initial test value and the optimized value should
be obtained by the experiment.
Since the pulse current flows through the transistor,
the exact Rb value should be finely tuned by the
experiment. Generally, a small Rb value can increase
the output current capability, but the efficiency will
decrease due to more energy is used to drive the
Layout Considerations
Ground Plane
Switching Noise Decoupling Capacitor
One point grounding should be used for the output
power return ground, the input power return ground,
and the device switch ground to reduce noise. The
input ground and output ground traces must be thick
enough for current to flow through and for reducing
ground bounce.
On APW7077 fixed voltage application, a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor should be placed close to the VOUT pin
and GND pin of the chip to filter the switching spikes
in the output voltage monitored by the VOUT pin.
Feedback Network
On APW7077A application, the feedback networks
should be connected directly to a dedicated analog
ground plane and this ground plane must connect to
the GND pin. If no analog ground plane is available
then this ground must tie directly to the GND pin. The
feedback network, resistors R1 and R2, should be kept
Power Signal Traces
Low resistance conducting paths should be used for
the power carrying traces to reduce power loss so as
to improve efficiency (short and thick traces for connecting the inductor L can also reduce stray
inductance). Trace connections made to the inductor
and schottky diode should be minimized to reduce
power dissipation and increase overall efficiency.
into the system.
Output Capacitor
Input Capacitor
The output capacitor should be placed close to the
output terminals to obtain better smoothing effect on
the output ripple.
In APW7077A high output voltage application circuit,
the input voltage(VIN) is tied to chip supply pin(VDD).
The input capacitor CIN in VIN must be placed close to
the IC. This will reduce copper trace resistance which
effects input voltage ripple of the IC. For additional
close to the FB pin, and away from the inductor, to
minimize copper trace connections that can inject noise
The output capacitor, COUT, should also be placed close
to the IC. Any copper trace connections for the COUT
capacitor can increase the series resistance, which
directly effects output voltage ripple and efficiency.

in parallel with CIN, close to the VDD pin, to shunt any
