(5-pin TO-220) Description GND 1 3 Signal ground. Keep separate from power grounds (E1 and E2). VC 2 1 Output of transconductance error amplifier. An R-C compensation network is connected from this pin to the ground to stabilize the feedback loop. If this pin is pulled lower than 0.15V, the IC goes into micropower mode. FB 3 2 Error amplifier inverting input. A resistor divider from the output of the converter to this pin sets its nominal voltage. SYNC 4 LX2172 only. This pin is used to synchronize the device directly with a logic level input pulse. External synchronization frequency must always be at a higher frequency than the minimum internal clock. When not used, should be left open. ENABLE 4 LX2173 only. This pin is the input to the enable comparator. A voltage under 1.4V will put the device in micropower mode. Pin must be connected to VIN when not in use. VIN 5 E1 6 VSW 7 E2 8 5 Input supply voltage (3.0V to 25V). Power return of first transistor (Q1). This pin must be connected to ground. 4 Collector of output transistors. Connect to external inductor or input voltage, depending on circuit topology. Grounding this pin sets the current limit point to the maximum value. If pin is left open, the current limit is set to half its maximum value.

Once Q1 is on, current in the inductor ramps up. Inductor current is then sensed, and amplified by a current sense amplifier and compared to a threshold set by the output of the error amplifier minus the offset voltage (VOFS typically 0.9V). This allows the PWM comparator to reset the flip flop, causing Q1 to turn off. The oscillator then sets the flip flop, and the operation repeats itself. The oscillator is designed to operate at 100kHz frequency. Its function is to turn the switch Q1 on at a fixed 10µs interval and to provide a slope compensation for the feedback loop. Slope compensation is required for fixed frequency continuous Current Mode regulators operating above 50% duty cycle in order to prevent loop instability. The SYNC input is a logic input that allows easy synchronization to an external clock. Synchronization is done such that the external clock terminates the cycle before the internal oscillator sets the PWM latch again. UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT CURRENT LIMIT Current limiting is performed by sensing the peak switch current and turning Q1 off until the next clock cycle. When the converter goes into current limit the error amplifier output goes to the rail and sets a maximum limit on the current. ERROR AMPLIFIER The function of the error amplifier is to set a threshold voltage for inductor peak current and control the switch duty cycle so that the power supply output voltage is closely regulated. Regulation is accomplished by sensing the output voltage and comparing it to the internal 1.27V bandgap reference. A compensation network is placed from the output of the amplifier to ground for closed loop stability purposes, as well as a high d.c. gain for tight regulation. The function of V OFS is to keep Q1 off without requiring an error amplifier output to swing to ground level. It is required the VOL of the error amplifier is always less than the offset at all times. The transfer function between the error amplifier output (VC ) and peak inductor current is therefore given by: The 2.3V internal regulator is monitored as the input supply ramps up, ensuring glitch-free operation. EXTRA PINS ON 8-PIN DEVICE The 8-pin versions of the LX217x have the emitters of the power transistors brought out separately. Connecting these pins to ground reduces errors due to ground pin voltage drops. The E2 pin also allows the user to half the switch current limit if the pin is left open. Note that the switch resistance will increase when E2 is open, so efficiency will decrease and heat dissipation will increase, especially for currents over 300mA. MICROPOWER SHUTDOWN The LX2172/73 enter micropower shutdown mode when the VC pin is pulled below 0.15V. Supply current required for biassing shutdown circuitry is less than 250µA. The LX2173 has an ENABLE pin which allows ultra-low micropower shutdown operation, consuming less than 10µA.
