This is accomplished by setting the “no back up battery bit” in the control register 8h’0B bit 7 NBUB. With this bit set to “1”, the above described switching will not occur, that is the RTC LDO will remain connected to the main battery even as it is discharged below the 2.9V threshold. The Backup battery input should also be connected to main battery. The LP3972 has provisions for two battery connections, the main battery Vbat and Backup Battery The function of the battery switch is to connect power to the RTC LDO from the appropriate battery, depending on conditions described below: • If only the backup battery is applied, the switch will automatically connect the RTC LDO power to this battery. • If only the main battery is applied, the switch will automatically connect the RTC LDO power to this battery • If both batteries are applied, and the main battery is sufficiently charged (Vbat > 3.1V), the switch will automatically connect the RTC LDO power to the main battery. • As the main battery is discharged a separate circuit called nBATT_FLT will warn the system. Then if no action is taken to restore the charge on the main battery, and discharging is 15 www.national.com LP3972 Back-Up Charger Electrical Characteristics LP3972 Logic Inputs and Outputs DC Operating Conditions (Note 2) Logic Inputs (SYS_EN, PWR_EN, SYNC, nRSTI, PWR_ON, nTEST_JIG, SPARE and GPI's) Symbol Parameter VIL Low Level Input Voltage VIH High Level Input Voltage ILEAK Input Leakage Current Conditions Min Max Units 0.5 V V VRTC −0.5V −1 +1 µA Min Max Units 0.5 V Logic Outputs (nRSTO, EXT_WAKEUP and GPO's) Symbol Parameter Conditions VOL Output Low Level Load = +0.2 mA = IOL Max VOH Output High Level Load = −0.1 mA = IOL Max ILEAK Output Leakage Current VON = VIN V VRTC −0.5V +5 µA Logic Output (nBATT_FLT) Symbol Parameter Conditions nBATT_FLT Threshold Voltage Programmable via Serial Interface Default = 2.8V VOL Output Low Level Load = +0.4 mA = IOL Max VOH Output High Level Load = −0.2 mA = IOH Max ILEAK Input Leakage Current www.national.com Min Typ Max Units 2.4 2.8 3.4 V 0.5 V V VRTC −0.5V +5 16 μA Unless otherwise noted, VIN = 3.6V.

Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the device is guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics tables. Note 2: All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin. Note 3: In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may have to be derated. Maximum ambient temperature (TA-MAX) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ-MAX-OP = 125°C), the maximum power dissipation of the device in the application (PD-MAX), and the junction-to ambient thermal resistance of the part/package in the application (θJA), as given by the following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP – (θJA x PD-MAX). Note 4: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is taken from a thermal modeling result, performed under the conditions and guidelines set forth in the JEDEC standard JESD51–7. The test board is a 4-layer FR-4 board measuring 102 mm x 76 mm x 1.6 mm with a 2x1 array of thermal vias. The ground plane on the board is 50 mm x 50 mm. Thickness of copper layers are 36 µm/1.8 µm/18 µm/36 µm (1.5 oz/1 oz/1 oz/1.5 oz). Ambient temperature in simulation is 22° C, still air. Power dissipation is 1W. Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is highly application and board-layout dependent. In applications where high maximum power dissipation exists, special care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues in board design. The value of θJA of this product can vary significantly, depending on PCB material, layout, and environmental conditions. In applications where high maximum power dissipation exists (high VIN, high IOUT), special care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues. For more information on these topics, please refer to Application Note 1187: Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) and the Power Efficiency and Power Dissipation section of this datasheet. Note 5: The Human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 k ??? resistor into each pin. (MIL-STD-883 3015.7) The machine model is a 200 pF capacitor discharged directly into each pin. (EAIJ) Note 6: All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard typeface) and at temperature extremes (bold typeface). All room temperature limits are production tested, guaranteed through statistical analysis or guaranteed by design. All limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using standard Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods. All limits are used to calculate Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL). Note 7: Dropout voltage is the input-to-output voltage difference at which the output voltage is 100 mV below its nominal value. Note 8: Back-up battery charge current is programmable via the I2C compatible interface. Refer to the Application Section for more information. Note 9: The I2C signals behave like open-drain outputs and require an external pull-up resistor on the system module in the 2 kΩ to 20 kΩ range. Note 10: LDO_RTC voltage can track LDO3 voltage. LP3972 has a tracking function (nIO_TRACK). When enabled, LDO_RTC voltage will track LDO3 voltage within 200mV down to 2.8V when LDO3 is enabled Note 11: VIN minimum for line regulation values is 2.7V for LDOs 1–3 and 1.8V for LDOs 4 and 5. Condition does not apply to input voltages below the minimum input operating voltage. Note 12: The input voltage range recommended for ideal applications performance for the specified output voltages is given below: VIN = 2.7V to 5.5V for 0.80V < VOUT < 1.8V VIN = (VOUT+ 1V) to 5.5V for 1.8V ≤ VOUT ≤ 3.3V Note 13: Test condition: for VOUT less than 2.7V, VIN = 3.6V; for VOUT greater than or equal to 2.7V, VIN = VOUT+ 1V. Note 14: This electrical specification is guaranteed by design. Note 15: An increase in the load current results in a slight decrease in the output voltage and vice versa. Note 16: Dropout voltage is the input-to-output voltage difference at which the output voltage is 100 mV below its nominal value. This specification does not apply for input voltages below 2.7V for LDOs 1–3 and 1.8V for LDOs 4 and 5. 17 www.national.com LP3972 I2C Compatible Serial Interface Electrical Specifications (SDA and SCL) LP3972 next cycle is initiated by the clock turning off the NFET and turning on the PFET. Buck Converter Operation DEVICE INFORMATION The LP3972 includes three high efficiency step down DC-DC switching buck converters. Using a voltage mode architecture with synchronous rectification, the buck converters have the ability to deliver up to 1600 mA depending on the input voltage, output voltage, ambient temperature and the inductor chosen. There are three modes of operation depending on the current required - PWM, PFM, and shutdown. The device operates in PWM mode at load currents of approximately 100 mA or higher, having voltage tolerance of ±3% with 95% efficiency or better. Lighter load currents cause the device to automatically switch into PFM for reduced current consumption. Shutdown mode turns off the device, offering the lowest current consumption (IQ, SHUTDOWN = 0.01 µA typ). Additional features include soft-start, under voltage protection, current overload protection, and thermal shutdown protection. The part uses an internal reference voltage of 0.5V. It is recommended to keep the part in shutdown until the input voltage is 2.7V or higher. 20207611 FIGURE 1. Typical PWM Operation Internal Synchronous Rectification While in PWM mode, the converters uses an internal NFET as a synchronous rectifier to reduce rectifier forward voltage drop and associated power loss. Synchronous rectification provides a significant improvement in efficiency whenever the output voltage is relatively low compared to the voltage drop across an ordinary rectifier diode. CIRCUIT OPERATION The buck converter operates as follows. During the first portion of each switching cycle, the control block turns on the internal PFET switch. This allows current to flow from the input through the inductor to the output filter capacitor and load. The inductor limits the current to a ramp with a slope of (VIN– VOUT)/L, by storing energy in a magnetic field. During the second portion of each cycle, the controller turns the PFET switch off, blocking current flow from the input, and then turns the NFET synchronous rectifier on. The inductor draws current from ground through the NFET to the output filter capacitor and load, which ramps the inductor current down with a slope of –VOUT/L. The output filter stores charge when the inductor current is high, and releases it when inductor current is low, smoothing the voltage across the load. The output voltage is regulated by modulating the PFET switch on time to control the average current sent to the load. The effect is identical to sending a duty-cycle modulated rectangular wave formed by the switch and synchronous rectifier at the SW pin to a low-pass filter formed by the inductor and output filter capacitor. The output voltage is equal to the average voltage at the SW pin. Current Limiting A current limit feature allows the converters to protect itself and external components during overload conditions. PWM mode implements current limiting using an internal comparator that trips at 2.0 A (typ). If the output is shorted to ground the device enters a timed current limit mode where the NFET is turned on for a longer duration until the inductor current falls below a low threshold, ensuring inductor current has more time to decay, thereby preventing runaway. PFM OPERATION At very light loads, the converter enters PFM mode and operates with reduced switching frequency and supply current to maintain high efficiency. The part will automatically transition into PFM mode when either of two conditions occurs for a duration of 32 or more clock cycles: A: The inductor current becomes discontinuous. B: The peak PMOS switch current drops below the IMODE level, (Typically IMODE < 30 mA + VIN/42Ω). PWM OPERATION During PWM operation the converter operates as a voltage mode controller with input voltage feed forward. This allows the converter to achieve good load and line regulation. The DC gain of the power stage is proportional to the input voltage. To eliminate this dependence, feed forward inversely proportional to the input voltage is introduced. While in PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) mode, the output voltage is regulated by switching at a constant frequency and then modulating the energy per cycle to control power to the load. At the beginning of each clock cycle the PFET switch is turned on and the inductor current ramps up until the comparator trips and the control logic turns off the switch. The current limit comparator can also turn off the switch in case the current limit of the PFET is exceeded. Then the NFET switch is turned on and the inductor current ramps down. The www.national.com 18 20207612 FIGURE 2. Typical PFM Operation During PFM operation, the converter positions the output voltage slightly higher than the nominal output voltage during PWM operation, allowing additional headroom for voltage drop during a load transient from light to heavy load. The PFM comparators sense the output voltage via the feedback pin and control the switching of the output FETs such that the output voltage ramps between <0.6% and <1.7% above the nominal PWM output voltage. If the output voltage is below 20207613 FIGURE 3. Operation in PFM Mode and Transfer to PWM Mode SHUTDOWN MODE During shutdown the PFET switch, reference, control and bias circuitry of the converters are turned off. The NFET switch will be open in shutdown to discharge the output. When the converter is enabled, EN, soft start is activated. It is recommended to disable the converter during the system power up and undervoltage conditions when the supply is less than 2.7V. SOFT START The buck converter has a soft-start circuit that limits in-rush current during start-up. During start-up the switch current limit is increased in steps. Soft start is activated only if EN goes from logic low to logic high after VIN reaches 2.7V. Soft start is implemented by increasing switch current limit in steps of 213 mA, 425 mA, 850 mA and 1700 mA (typ. Switch current limit). The start-up time thereby depends on the output capacitor and load current demanded at start-up. Typical start- 19 www.national.com LP3972 the “high” PFM comparator threshold, the PMOS power switch is turned on. It remains on until the output voltage reaches the ‘high’ PFM threshold or the peak current exceeds the IPFM level set for PFM mode. The typical peak current in PFM mode is: IPFM = 112 mA + VIN/27Ω. Once the PMOS power switch is turned off, the NMOS power switch is turned on until the inductor current ramps to zero. When the NMOS zero-current condition is detected, the NMOS power switch is turned off. If the output voltage is below the ‘high’ PFM comparator threshold (see Figure 3), the PMOS switch is again turned on and the cycle is repeated until the output reaches the desired level. Once the output reaches the ‘high’ PFM threshold, the NMOS switch is turned on briefly to ramp the inductor current to zero and then both output switches are turned off and the part enters an extremely low power mode. Quiescent supply current during this ‘sleep’ mode is 21 μA (typ), which allows the part to achieve high efficiencies under extremely light load conditions. When the output drops below the ‘low’ PFM threshold, the cycle repeats to restore the output voltage (average voltage in PFM mode) to <1.15% above the nominal PWM output voltage. If the load current should increase during PFM mode (see Figure 3) causing the output voltage to fall below the ‘low2’ PFM threshold, the part will automatically transition into fixed-frequency PWM mode. Typically when VIN = 3.6V the part transitions from PWM to PFM mode at 100 mA output current . LP3972 up times with 10 μF output capacitor and 1000 mA load current is 390 μs and with 1 mA load current its 295 μs. switching frequency, FC, is one parameter that system designers want to be as low as practical to reduce interference to the environment and subsystems within their products. The LP3972 has a user selectable function on chip, wherein a noise reduction technique known as “spread spectrum” can be employed to ease customer’s design and production issues. The principle behind spread spectrum is to modulate the switching frequency slightly and slowly, and spread the signal frequency over a broader bandwidth. Thus, its power spectral density becomes attenuated, and the associated interference electro-magnetic energy is reduced. The clock used to modulate the LP3972 buck regulator can be used as a spread spectrum clock via 2 I2C control register (System Control Register 1 (SCR1) 8h’80) bits bk_ssen, and slomod. With this feature enabled, the intense energy of the clock frequency can be spread across a small band of frequencies in the neighborhood of the center frequency. The results in a reduction of the peak energy! The LP3972 spread spectrum clock uses a triangular modulation profile with equal rise and fall slopes. The modulation has the following characteristics: • The center frequency: FC = 2 MHz, and • The modulating frequency, fM = 6.8 kHz or 12 kHz. • Peak frequency deviation: Δ_f = ±100 kHz (or ±5%) • Modulation index β = Δ_f/fM = 14.7 or 8.3 LDO - LOW DROP OUT OPERATION The LP3672 can operate at 100% duty cycle (no switching; PMOS switch completely on) for low drop out support of the output voltage. In this way the output voltage will be controlled down to the lowest possible input voltage. When the device operates near 100% duty cycle, output voltage ripple is approximately 25 mV. The minimum input voltage needed to support the output voltage is VIN, MIN = ILOAD * (RDSON, PFET + RINDUCTOR) + VOUT • ILOAD Load Current • RDSON, PFET Drain to source resistance of PFET switch in the triode region • RINDUCTOR Inductor resistance SPREAD SPECTRUM FEATURE Periodic switching in the buck regulator is inherently a noisier function block compared to an LDO. It can be challenging in some critical applications to comply with stringent regulatory standards or simply to minimize interference to sensitive circuits in space limited portable systems. The regulator’s switching frequency and harmonics can cause “noise” in the signal spectrum. The magnitude of this noise is measured by its power spectral density. The power spectral density of the Switching Energy RBW = 300 Hz 20207641 www.national.com 20 LP3972 I2C Compatible Interface I2C DATA VALIDITY The data on SDA line must be stable during the HIGH period of the clock signal (SCL). In other words, state of the data line can only be changed when CLK is LOW. 20207614 I2C START and STOP CONDITIONS START and STOP bits classify the beginning and the end of the I2C session. START condition is defined as SDA signal transitioning from HIGH to LOW while SCL line is HIGH. STOP condition is defined as the SDA transitioning from LOW to HIGH while SCL is HIGH. The I2C master always generates START and STOP bits. The I2C bus is considered to be busy after START condition and free after STOP condition. During data transmission, I2C master can generate repeated START conditions. First START and repeated START conditions are equivalent, function-wise. TRANSFERRING DATA Every byte put on the SDA line must be eight bits long, with the most significant bit (MSB) being transferred first. The number of bytes that can be transmitted per transfer is unrestricted. Each byte of data has to be followed by an acknowledge bit. The acknowledge related clock pulse is generated by the master. The transmitter releases the SDA line (HIGH) during the acknowledge clock pulse. The receiver must pull down the SDA line during the 9th clock pulse, signifying an acknowledge. A receiver which has been addressed must generate an acknowledge after each byte has been received. After the START condition, a chip address is sent by the I2C master. This address is seven bits long followed by an eighth bit which is a data direction bit (R/W). The LP3972 address is 34h. For the eighth bit, a “0” indicates a WRITE and a “1” indicates a READ. The second byte selects the register to which the data will be written. The third byte contains data to write to the selected register. 20207615 I2C CHIP ADDRESS - 7h'34 MSB ADR6 Bit7 ADR5 Bit6 ADR4 Bit5 ADR3 Bit4 ADR2 Bit3 ADR1 Bit2 ADR0 Bit1 R/W Bit0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 R/W 21 www.national.com LP3972 Write Cycle Write cycle 20207616 Read Cycle When a READ function is to be accomplished, a WRITE function must precede the READ function as follows.

The I2C slave must then accept the next random register address followed by 8 bits of data and continue this process until the master sends a valid stop condition.

By default SYS_EN enables LDO1 always first and after a typical of 1 ms delay others. Also when SYS_EN is set off the LDO1 will go off last. This function can be switched off or delay can be changed by DELAY bits via serial interface as seen on table below. 8h’80 Bit 5:4 DELAY bits ‘00’ ‘01’ ‘10’ ‘11’ Delay, ms 0 0.5 1.0 1.5 www.national.com HW Enable LDO5 (VCC_SRAM) LDO_RTC TRACKING (nIO_TRACK) LP3972 has a tracking function (nIO_TRACK). When enabled, LDO_RTC voltage will track LDO3 voltage within 200 mV down to 2.8V when LDO3 is enabled. This function can be switched on/off by nIO_TRACK register bit BPTR. POWER SUPPLY ENABLE SYS_EN and PWR_EN can be changed by programmable register bits. 48 WAKEUP register bits Reason for WAKEUP WUP0 SPARE WUP1 TEST_JIG WUP2 PWR_ON short pulse WUP3 PWR_ON long pulse TSD_EW TSD Early Warning INTERNAL THERMAL SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE Thermal shutdown is build to generate early warning (typ. 125°C) which triggers the EXT_WAKEUP for the processor acknowledge. When a thermal shutdown triggers (typ. 160° C) the PMU will reset the system until the device cools down. BATTERY SWITCH AND BACK UP BATTERY CHARGER When Back-Up battery is connected but the main battery has been removed or its supply voltage too low, LP3972 uses Back-Up Battery for generating LDO_RTC voltage. When Main Battery is available the battery fet switches over to the main battery for LDO_RTC voltage. When Main battery voltage is too low or removed nBATT_FLT is asserted. If no back up battery exists, the battery switch to back up can be switched off by nBU_BAT_EN bit. User can set the battery fault determination voltage and battery charger current via I2C compatible interface. Enabling of back up battery charger can be done via serial interface (nBAT_CHG_EN) or external charger enable pin (nCHG_EN). Pin 29 is set as external charger enable input by default. 20207619 49 www.national.com LP3972 WAKE-UP FUNCTIONALITY (PWR_ON, nTEST_JIG, SPARE AND EXT_WAKEUP) Three input pins can be used to assert wakeup output for 10 ms for application processor notification to wakeup. SPARE Input can be programmed through I2C compatible interface to be active low or high (SPARE bit, Default is active low ‘1’). A reason for wakeup event can be read through I2C compatible interface also. Additionally wakeup inputs have 30 ms debounce filtering. Furthermore PWR_ON have distinguishing between short and long (∼1s) pulses (push button input). LP3972 also has an internal Thermal Shutdown early warning that generates a wakeup to the system also. This is generated usually at 125°C. LP3972 input, output or hi-Z mode. Inputs value can be read via serial interface (GPI1,2 bits). The pin 29 functionality needs to be set to GPIO by serial interface register bit nEXTCHGEN.

The function of the battery switch is to connect power to the RTC LDO from the appropriate battery, depending on conditions described below: • If only the backup battery is applied, the switch will automatically connect the RTC LDO power to this battery. • If only the main battery is applied, the switch will automatically connect the RTC LDO power to this battery. • If both batteries are applied, and the main battery is sufficiently charged (VBAT > 3.1V), the switch will automatically connect the RTC LDO power to the main battery. • As the main battery is discharged by use, the user will be warned by a separate circuit called nBATT_FLT. Then if no action is taken to restore the charge on the main battery, and discharging is continued the battery switch will protect the RTC LDO by disconnecting from the main battery and connecting to the backup battery. www.national.com • — The main battery voltage at which the RTC LDO is switched from main to backup battery is 2.9V typically. — There is a hysterisis voltage in this switch operation so, the RTC LDO will not be reconnected to main battery until main battery voltage is greater than 3.1V typically. Additionally, the user may wish to disable the battery switch, such as, in the case when only a main battery is used. This is accomplished by setting the “no back up battery bit” in the control register 8h’89 bit 7 NBUB. With this bit set to “1”, the above described switching will not occur, that is the RTC LDO will remain connected to the main battery even as it is discharged below the 2.9 Volt threshold. REGULATED VOLTAGES OK All the power domains have own register bit (X_OK) that processor can read via serial interface to be sure that enabled powers are OK (regulating). Note that these read only bits are only valid when regulators are settled (avoid reading these bits during voltage change or power up). 50 THERMAL WARNING 2 of 6 low power comparators, each consumes less than 1 µA, are always enabled to operate the “T=125°C warning flag with hysteresis. This allows continuous monitoring of a thermal-warning flag feature with very low power consumption.

THERMAL MANAGEMENT Application: There is a mode wherein all 6 comparators (flags) can be turned on via the “enallflags” control register bit. This mode allows the user to interrogate the device or system temperature under the set operating conditions. Thus, the rate of temperature change can also be estimated. The system may then negotiate for speed and power trade off, or deploy cooling maneuvers to optimize system performance. The “enallflags” bit needs enabled only when the “bct<2:0> bits are read to conserve power. Note: The thermal management flags have been verified functional. Presently these registers are accessible by factory only.

The capacitance can vary with DC bias conditions as well as temperature and frequency of operation. Capacitor values will also show some decrease over time due to aging. The capacitor parameters are also dependant on the particular case size, with smaller sizes giving poorer performance figures in general. As an example, Figure 4 shows a typical graph comparing different capacitor case sizes in a Capacitance vs. DC Bias plot. As shown in the graph, increasing the DC Bias condition can result in the capacitance value falling below the minimum value given in the recommended capacitor specifications table. Note that the graph shows the capacitance out of spec for the 0402 case size capacitor at higher bias voltages. It is therefore recommended that the capacitor manufacturers’ specifications for the nominal value capacitor are consulted for all conditions, as some capacitor sizes (e.g. 0402) may not be suitable in the actual application. Application Hints LDO CONSIDERATIONS External Capacitors The LP3972’s regulators require external capacitors for regulator stability. These are specifically designed for portable applications requiring minimum board space and smallest components. These capacitors must be correctly selected for good performance. Input Capacitor An input capacitor is required for stability. It is recommended that a 1.0 µF capacitor be connected between the LDO input pin and ground (this capacitance value may be increased without limit). This capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 1 cm from the input pin and returned to a clean analogue ground. Any good quality ceramic, tantalum, or film capacitor may be used at the input. Important: Tantalum capacitors can suffer catastrophic failures due to surge current when connected to a low impedance source of power (like a battery or a very large capacitor). If a tantalum capacitor is used at the input, it must be guaranteed by the manufacturer to have a surge current rating sufficient for the application. There are no requirements for the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) on the input capacitor, but tolerance and temperature coefficient must be considered when selecting the capacitor to ensure the capacitance will remain approximately 1.0 µF over the entire operating temperature range. Output Capacitor The LDO’s are designed specifically to work with very small ceramic output capacitors. A 1.0 μF ceramic capacitor (temperature types Z5U, Y5V or X7R) with ESR between 5 mΩ to 500 mΩ, are suitable in the application circuit. For this device the output capacitor should be connected between the VOUT pin and ground. It is also possible to use tantalum or film capacitors at the device output, COUT (or VOUT), but these are not as attractive for reasons of size and cost (see the section Capacitor Characteristics). The output capacitor must meet the requirement for the minimum value of capacitance and also have an ESR value that is within the range 5 mΩ to 500 mΩ for stability. 20207623 FIGURE 4. Graph Showing a Typical Variation in Capacitance vs. DC Bias The ceramic capacitor’s capacitance can vary with temperature. The capacitor type X7R, which operates over a temperature range of −55°C to +125°C, will only vary the capacitance to within ±15%. The capacitor type X5R has a similar tolerance over a reduced temperature range of −55°C to +85°C. Many large value ceramic capacitors, larger than 1 µF are manufactured with Z5U or Y5V temperature characteristics. Their capacitance can drop by more than 50% as the temperature varies from 25°C to 85°C. Therefore X7R is recommended over Z5U and Y5V in applications where the ambient temperature will change significantly above or below 25°C. Tantalum capacitors are less desirable than ceramic for use as output capacitors because they are more expensive when comparing equivalent capacitance and voltage ratings in the 0.47 µF to 4.7 µF range. Another important consideration is that tantalum capacitors have higher ESR values than equivalent size ceramics. This means that while it may be possible to find a tantalum capacitor with an ESR value within the stable range, it would have to be larger in capacitance (which means bigger and more costly) than a ceramic capacitor with the same ESR value. It should also be noted that the ESR of a typical tantalum will increase about 2:1 as the temperature goes from 25°C down to –40°C, so some guard band must be allowed. No-Load Stability The LDO’s will remain stable and in regulation with no external load. This is an important consideration in some circuits, for example CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. Capacitor Characteristics The LDO’s are designed to work with ceramic capacitors on the output to take advantage of the benefits they offer. For capacitance values in the range of 0.47 µF to 4.7 µF, ceramic capacitors are the smallest, least expensive and have the lowest ESR values, thus making them best for eliminating high frequency noise. The ESR of a typical 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor is in the range of 20 mΩ to 40 mΩ, which easily meets the ESR requirement for stability for the LDO’s. For both input and output capacitors, careful interpretation of the capacitor specification is required to ensure correct device operation. The capacitor value can change greatly, depending on the operating conditions and capacitor type. In particular, the output capacitor selection should take account of all www.national.com 54 Inductor Selection There are two main considerations when choosing an inductor; the inductor should not saturate, and the inductor current ripple is small enough to achieve the desired output voltage ripple. Different saturation current rating specs are followed by different manufacturers so attention must be given to details. Saturation current ratings are typically specified at 25°C so ratings at max ambient temperature of application should be requested from manufacturer. There are two methods to choose the inductor saturation current rating. Input Capacitor Selection A ceramic input capacitor of 10 μF, 6.3V is sufficient for most applications. Place the input capacitor as close as possible to the VIN pin of the device. A larger value may be used for improved input voltage filtering. Use X7R or X5R types, do not use Y5V. DC bias characteristics of ceramic capacitors must be considered when selecting case sizes like 0805 and 0603. The input filter capacitor supplies current to the PFET switch of the converter in the first half of each cycle and reduces voltage ripple imposed on the input power source. A ceramic capacitor’s low ESR provides the best noise filtering of the input voltage spikes due to this rapidly changing current. Select a capacitor with sufficient ripple current rating. The input current ripple can be calculated as: Method 1 The saturation current is greater than the sum of the maximum load current and the worst case average to peak inductor current. This can be written as • IRIPPLE: Average to peak inductor current • IOUTMAX: Maximum load current (1500 mA) • VIN: Maximum input voltage in application • L: Min inductor value including worst case tolerances (30% drop can be considered for method 1) • f: Minimum switching frequency (1.6 MHz) • VOUT: Output voltage Method 2 A more conservative and recommended approach is to choose an inductor that has saturation current rating greater than the max current limit of TBD mA. The worst case is when VIN = 2 * VOUT TABLE 1.

Use X7R or X5R types, do not use Y5V. DC bias characteristics of ceramic capacitors must be considered when selecting case sizes like 0805 and 0603. DC bias characteristics vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and dc bias curves should be requested from them as part of the capacitor selection process. The output filter capacitor smooths out current flow from the inductor to the load, helps maintain a steady output voltage during transient load changes and reduces output voltage ripple. These capacitors must be selected with sufficient capacitance and sufficiently low ESR to perform these functions. The output voltage ripple is caused by the charging and discharging of the output capacitor and also due to its ESR and can be calculated as: VPP-ESR = (2 * IRIPPLE) * RESR Because these two components are out of phase the rms value can be used to get an approximate value of peak-to-peak ripple. Voltage peak-to-peak ripple, root mean squared can be expressed as follows Note that the output voltage ripple is dependent on the inductor current ripple and the equivalent series resistance of the output capacitor (RESR). The RESR is frequency dependent (as well as temperature dependent); make sure the value used for calculations is at the switching frequency of the part. 55 www.national.com LP3972 A 2.2 μH inductor with a saturation current rating of at least TBD mA is recommended for most applications. The inductor’s resistance should be less than 0.3Ω for a good efficiency. Table 1 lists suggested inductors and suppliers. For low-cost applications, an unshielded bobbin inductor could be considered. For noise critical applications, a toroidal or shielded bobbin inductor should be used. A good practice is to lay out the board with overlapping footprints of both types for design flexibility. This allows substitution of a low-noise shielded inductor, in the event that noise from low-cost bobbin models is unacceptable. BUCK CONSIDERATIONS LP3972 TABLE 2.

The figure below shows the safe operating area. To ensure operation in the area of concern it is recommended that the system designer circumvents the output ripple issues to install schottky diodes on the Bucks LP3972 Board Layout Considerations PC board layout is an important part of DC-DC converter design. Poor board layout can disrupt the performance of a DCDC converter and surrounding circuitry by contributing to EMI, ground bounce, and resistive voltage loss in the traces. These can send erroneous signals to the DC-DC converter IC, resulting in poor regulation or instability. Good layout for the converters can be implemented by following a few simple design rules. 1. Place the converters, inductor and filter capacitors close together and make the traces short. The traces between these components carry relatively high switching currents and act as antennas. Following this rule reduces radiated noise. Special care must be given to place the input filter capacitor very close to the VIN and GND pin. 2. Arrange the components so that the switching current loops curl in the same direction. During the first half of each cycle, current flows from the input filter capacitor through the converter and inductor to the output filter capacitor and back through ground, forming a current loop. In the second half of each cycle, current is pulled up from ground through the converter by the inductor to the output filter capacitor and then back through ground forming a second current loop. Routing these loops so the current curls in the same direction prevents magnetic field reversal between the two half-cycles and reduces radiated noise. 3. Connect the ground pins of the converter and filter capacitors together using generous component-side www.national.com 4. 5. 6. 58 copper fill as a pseudo-ground plane. Then, connect this to the ground-plane (if one is used) with several vias. This reduces ground-plane noise by preventing the switching currents from circulating through the ground plane. It also reduces ground bounce at the converter by giving it a low-impedance ground connection. Use wide traces between the power components and for power connections to the DC-DC converter circuit. This reduces voltage errors caused by resistive losses across the traces. Route noise sensitive traces, such as the voltage feedback path, away from noisy traces between the power components. The voltage feedback trace must remain close to the converter circuit and should be direct but should be routed opposite to noisy components. This reduces EMI radiated onto the DC-DC converter’s own voltage feedback trace. A good approach is to route the feedback trace on another layer and to have a ground plane between the top layer and layer on which the feedback trace is routed. In the same manner for the adjustable part it is desired to have the feedback dividers on the bottom layer. Place noise sensitive circuitry, such as radio RF blocks, away from the DC-DC converter, CMOS digital blocks and other noisy circuitry. Interference with noisesensitive circuitry in the system can be reduced through distance.
