Automotive Grade
Synchronous Buck
Controller
The NCV8851−1 is an adjustable output, synchronous buck
controller, which drives dual N−channel MOSFETs, ideal for high
power applications. Average current mode control is employed for
very fast transient response and tight regulation over wide input
voltage and output load ranges. The IC incorporates an internal fixed
6.0 V low−dropout linear regulator (LDO), which supplies charge to
the switch mode power supply’s (SMPS) bottom gate driver, limiting
the power lost to excess gate drive. The IC is designed for operation
over a wide input voltage range (4.5 V to 40 V) and is capable of 10 to
1 voltage conversion at 500 kHz.
Additional controller features include undervoltage lockout,
internal soft−start, low quiescent current sleep mode, programmable
frequency, SYNC function, average current limiting, cycle−by−cycle
overcurrent protection and thermal shutdown.

DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION
General
inductor current is limited via average current limiting
(ACL) and cycle−by−cycle overcurrent protection (OCP).
Thermal shutdown (TSD) is also implemented to protect the
device from overheating.
The NCV8851−1 is a synchronous buck controller with
internal 1.5 A gate drivers designed to drive NMOS FETs.
The internal gate drivers simplify design, improve
performance and efficiency and minimize board area. The
controller uses an 800 mV, 2.0% reference, allowing for a
wide range of precise output voltage programmability.
The NCV8851−1 also provides a programmable fixed
frequency range of 170 kHz to 500 kHz, allowing more
design flexibility in compromising efficiency versus
components’ size and cost. This frequency is conveniently
set with an external resistor to ground. An external clock
signal can also be used to synchronize the NCV8851−1 to a
higher operating frequency during operation.
To protect against possible damage of external
power−stage components, excessive inrush of current
during start−up is prevented by an internal soft−start, and
Average Current Mode Control
The NCV8851−1 employs an average current mode
control (ACMC) architecture to regulate the output voltage.
ACMC uses two loops, as seen in Figure 19. Through the
current error amplifier (CEA), the inner current loop
monitors the inductor current with the unity gain current
sense amplifier (CSA). The current loop responds to input
voltage changes, affecting the line transient response. Using
the voltage error amplifier (VEA), the outer voltage loop
monitors the output voltage, responding to output load
changes, affecting the load transient response. Feedback
resistors in the voltage loop select the output voltage.

CEA. The voltage loop also has a pair of feedback resistors
from VOUT to set the output voltage and gain of the VEA.
Unlike voltage mode control (VMC) of buck regulators,
which almost always require the extra components of a
Type−III compensation network for adequate transient
response, ACMC buck regulators use Type−II
compensation. This greatly simplifies the compensator
design and optimization process, while offering much faster
transient response than a Type−I compensation network.
Additionally, the two−loop system separates the effects of
output components between the two loops, further
simplifying the compensation process.
Type−II compensation places a zero and two poles in each
of the error loops to offset the effects of the inherent
open−loop response. This compensation requires a resistor
and two capacitors in the feedback loop for each of the error
amplifiers, shown as complex impedances in Figure 19. An
input resistor from the CSA to the CEA sets the gain of the
Enable
The enable input (EN) is a TTL−compatible input used to
activate the internal LDO. The NCV8851−1 is disabled
when the EN pin is pulled below the enable input logic low
threshold voltage, causing a normal shutdown to occur,
putting the part into a low quiescent current sleep mode.
Once the device has been disabled it must remain disabled
for the minimum disable time (20 ms) or abnormal startup
behavior may be observed after enable is asserted. When the
EN pin is pulled above the enable input logic high threshold
voltage, the part is enabled, the LDO output is brought up
and then the internal soft−start begins.

to support the internal rails and power the controller. The IC
will start up when enabled and VIN_IC surpasses the UVLO
threshold and will shutdown when VIN_IC drops below the
UVLO threshold minus the UVLO hysteresis. While VIN is
less than the set point for VOUT, the output will run at max
duty cycle, after soft−start, once VIN_IC surpasses the
UVLO threshold. If EN is high and not tied to VIN, the
output will begin to rise up while in UVLO, if a minimum
output load of 1 kW is not met.

Thermal Shutdown
The NCV8851−1 provides Thermal Shutdown (TSD),
which monitors the die temperature and turns off the top and
bottom gate drivers if an over temperature condition is
detected, for added protection. The internal soft−start
capacitor is also discharged. A normal soft−start will occur
when the die temperature falls below the TSD threshold
minus the TSD hysteresis.
Figure 20. Enable Pin Equivalent Structure
The EN pin can be tied to VIN in order to enable the part.
If EN is above 22 V, DZEN2 will be conducting, as well as
DZEN1. The current to DZEN1 is limited by an internal
125 kW resistor. If DZEN2 is conducting, it is recommended
at least 250 mA is pulled through this diode. The resistor REN
must be used if VIN can go above 20 V as follows.

Duty Cycle and Maximum Pulse Width Limits
In steady state dc operation, the duty cycle will stabilize
at an operating point defined by the ratio of the input to the
output voltage. There is a built in minimum off−time which
ensures that the bootstrap supply is charged every cycle,
determining the maximum duty cycle at a given frequency.
The NCV8851−1 can achieve at least a 95% duty cycle
while operating at frequencies up to 200 kHz (89% at up to
500 kHz).
VZ
250 mA
Where VZ is the amount of volts where DZEN2 is conducting,
but not yet supplied with 250 mA. For example, setting VZ
to 1 V means REN must be less than 4 kW for DZEN2 to have
at least 250 mA when VIN is at least 23 V; for the range of VIN
between 22 V and 23 V, DZEN2 will be conducting, but not
with the recommended 250 mA current.
Internal Soft−Start
The NCV8851−1 features an internal soft−start function,
which reduces inrush current and overshoot of the output
voltage. Figures 21 and 22 show a typical soft−start
sequence.

causing the soft−start time to be inversely related to the
frequency set by ROSC. The internal soft−start capacitor is
discharged when the part is disabled, enters TSD or enters
UVLO, ensuring a proper start−up when the part is
re−enabled, leaves TSD or leaves UVLO.
Soft−start is achieved by ramping up the internal soft−start
voltage (VSS), which is applied to the non−inverting input of
the voltage error amplifier, effectively limiting the slew rate
of VOUT rising. This ramp is generated by charging an
internal soft−start capacitor based on the internal oscillator,

NCV8851−1
The 6VOUT pin should be externally connected through a
low leakage (< 100 mA at Tmax) diode to the BST pin,
charging the BST capacitor during off−time to generate a
voltage for the high−side driver. When the part is enabled
and VIN is below the LDO regulated value, the LDO is in
dropout and it tracks VIN. The LDO regulates its output once
VIN is above the output set point plus the dropout voltage.
An external bypass capacitor must be connected from
6VOUT to ground. A short to ground or overcurrent
condition on the 6VOUT pin will be mitigated by the LDO
current limit and internal thermal shutdown (TSD) circuitry
which disables all outputs. A normal soft−start will occur
when the die temperature falls below the TSD threshold.
This sequence begins once VIN_IC surpasses its UVLO
threshold when the part is enabled and the LDO output has
risen. After an initial delay to assure a clean start−up,
switching begins, the output initially rises quickly and then
rises monotonically. The duty cycle is gradually increased
until VOUT has reached its set point or until maximum duty
cycle is reached.
Normal Shutdown Behavior and Sleep Mode
Normal shutdown occurs when the IC stops switching
because the input supply drops below the UVLO threshold,
the part enters TSD or the part is disabled. When disabled,
the part enters sleep mode.
In sleep mode, the LDO turns off and its output capacitor
discharges, causing switching to stop, the internal soft−start
capacitor to discharge and GH and GL to go low. The switch
node enters a high impedance state and the output inductor
and capacitors discharge through the load. The supply
current reduces to the sleep mode quiescent current.
Drivers
The NCV8851−1 includes 1.5 A gate drivers to switch
external N−Channel MOSFETs. This allows the
NCV8851−1 to address high−power, as well as low−power
conversion requirements. The gate drivers also include
adaptive non−overlap circuitry. The non−overlap circuitry
increases efficiency, which minimizes power dissipation, by
minimizing the body diode conduction time, while
protecting against cross−conduction (shoot−through) of the
MOSFETs. A detailed block diagram of the non−overlap
and gate drive circuitry used in the chip and related external
components is shown in Figure 23.
Internal Linear Regulator (LDO)
The NCV8851−1 has an onboard low−dropout linear
regulator (LDO) internally connected to drive the low−side
gate. The 6VOUT pin should be externally connected to the
VIN_IC pin to power the internal rails. Typically, a RC filter
is used from 6VOUT to VIN_IC to further decrease noise on
the internal rails.

Since the BST capacitor only recharges when the
low−side MOSFET is on, pulling VSW down to ground, the
NCV8851−1 has a minimum off−time. This also means that
the BST capacitor cannot be arbitrarily large, since 6VOUT
needs to be able to charge it up during this minimum
off−time so the high−side gate driver doesn’t run out of
headroom. 6VOUT needs to supply charge both to the BST
capacitor and also the low−side driver, so the LDO capacitor
must be sufficiently larger than the BST capacitor. A 1 mF
LDO capacitor is recommended.
A capacitor is placed from VSW to BST and a diode is
placed from 6VOUT to BST to create a bootstrap supply on
the BST pin for the high−side floating gate driver. This
ensures that the voltage on BST is about 6VOUT higher than
VSW, less a diode drop, yielding a gate drive voltage high
enough to enhance the high−side MOSFET. The BST
capacitor supplies the charge used by the gate driver to
charge up the input capacitance of the high−side MOSFET,
and is typically chosen to be at least a decade larger than this
capacitance. A 0.1 mF BST capacitor is recommended.

above the ACL threshold. This causes the PWM pulse to be
terminated very quickly and disables the part from switching
back on until the current through the inductor has dropped
below the OCP threshold. Once the inductor current is below
the OCP threshold, the part will begin switching again and
the current will be limited by ACL, until the inductor current
drops below the ACL threshold.
An advantage of this current limiting scheme is that the
NCV8851−1 will limit large transient currents yet resume
normal operation on the following cycle. Additionally, the
current will not run away, nor will the part latch off in case
of a short, which is typical of other current limiting schemes
employing high−side current sensing.
Careful selection and layout of external components is
required to realize the full benefit of the onboard drivers.
The capacitors between VIN and GND and between BST
and VSW must be placed as close as possible to the IC. The
current paths for the GH and GL connections must be
optimized, minimizing parasitic resistance and inductance.
Current Limiting and Overcurrent Protection
The NCV8851−1 contains average current limiting
(ACL) and cycle−by−cycle overcurrent protection (OCP) to
protect the power switches, inductor, current sense resistor
and other external components. The current through the
inductor is continuously sensed using the CSP and CSN
pins. A sense resistor is placed between these pins to
translate the output current to a proportional voltage. This
voltage is compared to a fixed internal voltage threshold.
When the differential voltage exceeds the ACL threshold,
the PWM pulse is terminated for this cycle, limiting the
current through the inductor. In steady−state operation,
decreasing the load resistance while in ACL will cause the
duty cycle and VOUT to decrease proportionally without
skipping pulses or jitter.
There is also a fast OCP path which is tripped when the
differential voltage exceeds the OCP threshold, which is
SYNC Feature
An external clock signal can synchronize the NCV8851−1
to a higher frequency. The rising edge of the SYNC pulse
turns on the power switch to start a new switching cycle, as
shown in Figure 24. There is a 0.5 ms delay between the
rising edge of the SYNC pulse and rising edge of the VSW
pin voltage. The SYNC threshold is TTL logic compatible,
and duty cycle of the SYNC pulses can vary from 10% to
90%. The SYNC frequency must be higher than the internal
oscillator frequency set by ROSC.

Design Methodology
leading to decreased efficiency, especially noticeable at light
loads.
Typically, the switching frequency is selected to avoid
interfering with signals of known frequencies. Often, in this
case, the frequency can be programmed to a lower value
with ROSC and then a higher−frequency signal can be
applied to the SYNC pin to increase the frequency
dynamically to avoid given frequencies. A spread spectrum
signal could also be used for the SYNC input, as long as the
lowest frequency in the range is above the programmed
frequency set by ROSC. Additionally, the highest SYNC
frequency must not exceed maximum switching frequency
limits.
There are two limits on the maximum allowable switching
frequency: minimum off−time and minimum on−time.
These set two different maximum switching frequencies, as
follows:
Choosing external components for the NCV8851−1
encompasses the following design process:
1. Define operational parameters
2. Select switching frequency
3. Select current sensor
4. Select output inductor
5. Select output capacitors
6. Select input capacitors
7. Select compensator components
(1) Operational Parameter Definition
Before proceeding with the rest of the design, certain
operational parameters must be defined. These are
application−dependent and include the following:
VIN: input voltage, range from minimum to
maximum with a typical value [V]
VOUT: output voltage [V]
IOUT: output current, range from minimum to
maximum with initial start−up value [A]
ICL: desired typical current−limit [A]
A number of basic calculations must be performed
up−front to use in the design process, as follows:
V OUT
V IN(typ)
D MAX +
1 * D MAX
T MinOff
F SW(max)2 +
D MIN
T MinOn
Where: FSW(max)1: maximum switching frequency due to
minimum off−time [Hz]
TMinOff: minimum off−time [s]
FSW(max)2: maximum switching frequency due to
minimum on−time [Hz]
TMinOn: minimum on−time [s]
Alternatively, the minimum and maximum operational
input voltage can be calculated as follows:
V OUT
D MIN +
V IN(max)
D+
F SW(max)1 +
V OUT
V IN(min)
Where: DMIN: minimum duty cycle (ideal) [%]
VIN(max): maximum input voltage [V]
D: typical duty cycle (ideal) [%]
VIN(typ): typical input voltage [V]
DMAX: maximum duty cycle (ideal) [%]
VIN(min): minimum input voltage [V]
It should be noted that these are the ideal duty cycles; the
actual duty cycles will be marginally higher than these
calculated values. The actual duty cycles are dependent on
load due to voltage drops in the MOSFETs, inductor and
current sensor.

Where: FSW: switching frequency [Hz]
The switching frequency is programmed by selecting the
resistor connected between the ROSC pin and ground. The
grounded side of this resistor should be directly connected
to the AGND pin. Avoid running any noisy signals under the
resistor, since injected noise could cause frequency jitter.
The graph in Figure 25 shows the required resistance to
program the frequency. From 150 to 450 kHz, the following
formula is accurate to within 3%:
(2) Switching Frequency Selection
Selecting the switching frequency is a trade−off between
component size and power losses. Operation at higher
switching frequencies allows the use of smaller inductor and
capacitor values to achieve the same inductor current ripple
and output voltage ripple. However, increasing the
frequency increases the switching losses of the MOSFETs,

perspective, smaller inductor values generally correspond to
smaller physical size. Since the inductor is often one of the
largest components in the power supply, a minimum
inductor value is particularly important in space−
constrained applications. From an electrical perspective, an
inductor is chosen for a set amount of current ripple and to
assure adequate transient response.
Larger inductor values limit the switcher’s ability to slew
current through the output inductor in response to output load
transients, impacting the dynamic response. While the
inductor is slewing current during this time, output capacitors
must supply the load current. Therefore, decreasing the
inductance allows for less output capacitance to hold the
output voltage up during a load step. Load transient
simulation is a powerful tool in anticipating this response.
For switchers with both cycle−by−cycle overcurrent
protection (OCP) and average current limiting (ACL), the
OCP and ACL references are compared to the sensed current
via sense resistance, RS. A minimum inductance is required
to prevent the OCP from tripping during the onset of ACL
during typical operation as follows:

The soft−start time can be estimated as follows:

DVCL: difference between OCP and ACL threshold

For switchers that use the current signal of the inductor for
control purposes, the voltage ripple over the sense resistance

contribution due to inherent comparator offsets and other
errors, as follows:
F0

Where: TSS: soft−start time [s]
F0: specified frequency [Hz]
TSS0: soft−start time at specified frequency [s]
(3) Current Sensor Selection
L MAX +
Current sensing for average current mode control relies on
the inductor current signal. This is translated into a voltage
via a current sensor, which is then measured differentially by
the current sense amplifier, generating a single−ended
output to use as a control signal. The easiest means of
implementing this transresistance is through the use of a
sense resistor in series with the output inductor and
capacitors. A sense resistor should be selected as follows:
RS +
V OUT(1 * D)
RS
@
2 @ F SW
DV CL
V OUT @ (1 * D MAX)
RS

Ë L @ V CL
Where: LMAX: maximum inductance to assure adequate
voltage ripple over the sense resistance [H]
κL: inductor peak−to−peak current ripple to current
limit ratio [%]
VCL: threshold voltage for the current limit [V]
As a rule of thumb, ensuring that κL is at least 5% to 10%
has been empirically sufficient.
Smaller values of inductance increase the regulator’s
maximum achievable slew rate and decrease the necessary
capacitance, at the expense of higher ripple current, which
causes higher output voltage ripple. The peak−to−peak
ripple current is given by the following equation:
V CL
I CL
Where: RS: sense resistor [W]
VCL: current limit threshold voltage [V]
ICL: desired current limit [A]
Alternative methods, such as lossless inductor current
sensing, are feasible but beyond the scope of this document.

NCV8851−1
(5) Output Capacitor Selection
The ripple current is at a maximum when the duty cycle
is at a minimum value and vice versa, as follows:
The output capacitor is a basic component for the fast
response of the power supply. During a load step, for the first
few microseconds, it supplies the current to the load. The
controller immediately recognizes the load step and
increases the duty cycle, but the current slope is limited by
the inductor’s slew rate. During a load release, the output
voltage will overshoot. The capacitance will dampen this
undesirable response, decreasing the amount of voltage
overshoot.
In the case of stepping into a short, the inductor current
approaches zero with the worst case initial current at the
current limit and the initial voltage at the output voltage set
point, calculating the voltage overshoot as follows:
V
@ (1 * D MIN)
i L(max) + OUT
L @ F SW
i L(min) +
V OUT @ (1 * D MAX)
L @ F SW
Where: iL(max): maximum inductor current ripple [App]
iL(min): minimum inductor current ripple [App]
From this equation it is clear that the ripple current
increases as L decreases, emphasizing the trade−off between
dynamic response and ripple current. The peak and valley
values of the triangular current waveform are as follows:
iL
2
i
I L(vly) + I OUT * L
2
I L(pk) + I OUT )
DV OS +
ǸL @CI
CL
2
) V OUT 2 * V OUT
Accordingly, a minimum amount of capacitance can be
chosen for a maximum allowed output voltage overshoot:
Where: IL(pk): peak (maximum) value of ripple current [A]
IL(vly): valley (minimum) value of ripple current [A]
Saturation current is specified by inductor manufacturers
as the current at which the inductance value has dropped a
certain percentage from the nominal value, typically 10%.
For stable operation, the output inductor must be chosen so
that the inductance is close to the nominal value even at the
peak output current, IL(pk). It is recommended to choose an
inductor with saturation current sufficiently higher than the
peak output current, such that the inductance is very close to
the nominal value at the peak output current. This introduces
a safety factor and allows for more optimized compensation.
Inductor efficiency is another consideration when
selecting an output inductor. Inductor losses include dc and
ac winding losses and core losses. Core losses include eddy
current losses, which are very low due to high core
resistance, and magnetic hysteresis losses, which increase
with peak−to−peak ripple current. Core losses also increase
as switching frequency increases.
Ac winding losses are based on the ac resistance of the
winding and the RMS ripple current through the inductor,
which is much lower than the dc current. The ac winding
losses are due to skin and proximity effects and are typically
much less than the dc losses, but increase with frequency. Dc
winding losses account for a large percentage of output
inductor losses and are the dominant factor at switching
frequencies at or below 500 kHz. The dc winding losses in
the inductor can be calculated with the following equation:
C MIN +
L @ I CL 2
(V OUT ) DV OS(max)) 2 * V OUT 2
Where: CMIN: minimum amount of capacitance to minimize
voltage overshoot to DVOS(max) [F]
DVOS(max): maximum allowed voltage overshoot
during a short [V]
A maximum amount of capacitance can be found based on
the inrush current and current limit. To calculate the input
startup current, the following equation can be used:
I INRUSH +
C OUT @ V OUT
) I OUT(i)
t SS
Where: IINRUSH: input current during startup
IOUT(i): initial output current
If the inrush current is higher than the steady−state input
current with the maximum load, then the input fuse should
be rated accordingly, if one is used. During soft−start, the
inductor current must provide current to the load, as well as
current to charge the output capacitor. The maximum current
which the inductor is allowed to conduct is the current limit.
Setting the inrush current to the current limit, this puts a limit
on the maximum capacitor size, as follows:
C MAX +
(I CL * I OUT(i)) @ t SS
V OUT
Where: CMAX: maximum output capacitance [F]
Capacitors should also be chosen to provide acceptable
output voltage ripple with a dc load, in addition to limiting
voltage overshoot during a dynamic response. Key
specifications are equivalent series resistance (ESR) and
equivalent series inductance (ESL). The output capacitors
must have very low ESL for best transient response. The
PCB traces will add to the ESL, but by putting the output
capacitors close to the load, this effect can be minimized and
ESL neglected in determining output voltage ripple.
P L(dc) + I OUT 2 @ R dc
Where: PL(dc) : dc winding losses in the output inductor
Rdc: dc resistance of the output inductor (DCR)
As can be seen from the above equation, to minimize
inductor losses, an inductor with very low DCR should be
chosen.

capacitors must be rated to handle a ripple current of
one−half the maximum output current at the switching
frequency.
ESR is the majority cause of losses in the input capacitors.
Losses in the input capacitors can be calculated with the
following equation:
The capacitance itself causes a voltage ripple due to the
current ripple. This is as follows:
VQ + iL @
D
C @ F SW
Where: vQ: output voltage ripple due to output capacitance
[Vpp]
Also, the ripple current through the inductor causes a
voltage ripple over the output capacitor due to its ESR as
follows:
P CIN + I IN(RMS) 2 @ R ESR(CIN)
Where: PCIN = power loss in the input capacitors
RESR(CIN) = effective series resistance of the input
capacitance
Due to large current transients through the input
capacitors, electrolytic, polymer or ceramics should be used.
If a tantalum must be used, it must be surge protected, to
prevent against capacitor failure. Due to the large ripple
current, it is common to put small ceramic capacitors in
parallel with the bulk input capacitors, which will handle a
significant portion of the ripple current. A value of 0.01 mF
to 0.1 mF placed near the MOSFETs is recommended.
V ESR + i L @ R ESR
Where: vESR: output voltage ripple due to the effects of ESR
[Vpp]
RESR: total ESR of output capacitors [W]
Typically, the ripple due to ESR dominates, having the
largest effect on output voltage ripple. The total output
voltage ripple in steady−state operation can be calculated as
follows:
V OUT + V Q ) V ESR + Ë C @ V OUT
(7) Compensator Design
Where: vOUT: total output voltage ripple [Vpp]
κC: percent output voltage ripple [%]
Typically, the voltage ripple percentage is a performance
parameter used to decide on the desired output capacitor.
The maximum total effective ESR of the output capacitors
is calculated as follows:
R ESR(max) +
The purpose of the compensators is to stabilize the
dynamic response of the converter. By optimizing the
compensators, stable regulation with fast input line and
output load transient response is achieved.
Compensator design is related to the placement of zeros
and poles in the closed loop, in order to assure stability with
optimized transient response. The general approach is to use
some rule of thumb values and then tune them through
simulation to optimize load step response, while assuring
stability over line and load variations.
Type−II compensators are used with the two error
amplifiers in average current mode control. The CEA closes
the inner current−loop and the VEA closes the outer
voltage−loop. As a rule of thumb, a zero is placed in each
loop with the intent to compensate the effects of the double
pole from the output inductor and capacitor. Additionally, a
pole is placed at origin, due to the negative feedback, and a
pole is also placed in each loop with the intent to compensate
the effects of the double right−half−plane zero from the
current sampling function.
The crossover frequency is then set so that gain limitations
of the error amplifier are not exceeded. The compensator
must assure there is adequate phase margin in the total
closed−loop response, which can be analyzed on a
small−signal basis. Further reduction in loop gain, via
decreasing the crossover frequency, may be required to
avoid large−signal clamping limitations; this effect can be
seen in simulation and taken care of in the compensator
tuning process.

Where: RESR(max): maximum allowable total ESR of output

It should be noted that these values of ESR are at the
switching frequency and ESR decreases as frequency
increases. The steady−state power lost due to the ESR of the
output capacitor can be calculated as follows:
P C(ESR) + 1 i L 2 @ R ESR

(6) Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitors have to sustain the ripple current
produced during the on time of the high−side MOSFET and
must have a low ESR to minimize the losses. The RMS value
of this ripple is:
I IN(RMS) + I OUT ǸD @ (1 * D)
Where: IIN(RMS) = input RMS current
The large majority of the ripple spectrum will be at the
switching frequency. The above equation reaches its
maximum value with D = 0.5, IIN(RMS) = IOUT/2. The input

Thermal Considerations
The power dissipation of the NCV8851−1 varies with the
MOSFETs used, VIN and the boost voltage (VBST). The
average MOSFET gate current typically dominates the
control IC power dissipation. The IC power dissipation can
be estimated as follows:
Where: TJ = junction temperature of the IC
TA = ambient temperature
RqJA = junction−to−ambient thermal resistance of
the IC package
The package thermal resistance (RqJA) can be obtained
from the specifications section of this data sheet and a
calculation can be made to determine the IC junction
temperature. It should be noted that the physical layout of
the board, the proximity of other heat sources such as
MOSFETs and inductors and the amount of metal connected
to the IC impact the temperature of the device. Use these
calculations as a guide, but measurements should be taken
in the actual application.
