FAN2103 — TinyBuck™ 3A, 24V Input, Integrated Synchronous Buck Regulator Typical Performance Characteristics (Continued) Shutdown, 3A Load www.fairchildsemi.com 9 Initialization Bias Supply Once VCC exceeds the UVLO threshold and EN is HIGH, the IC checks for an open or shorted FB pin before releasing the internal soft-start ramp (SS). The FAN2103 requires a 5V supply rail to bias the IC and provide gate-drive energy and controller power. Connect a ≥ 1.0µf X5R or X7R decoupling capacitor between VCC and PGND. Whenever the EN pin is pulled up to VCC, the 5V supply connected to VCC should be turned ON after VIN comes up. If the power supply is turned ON using EN pin with an external control after VCC and VIN come up, the VCC and VIN power sequencing is not relevant. If R1 is open (as shown in Figure 1), the error amplifier output (COMP) is forced LOW and no pulses are generated. After the SS ramp times out (T1.0), an undervoltage latched fault occurs. If the parallel combination of R1 and RBIAS is ≤ 1KΩ, the internal SS ramp is not released and the regulator does not start. Since VCC is used to drive the internal MOSFET gates, supply current is frequency and voltage dependent. Approximate VCC current (ICC) can be calculated using: Soft-Start V −5 ICC(mA ) = 4.58 + [( CC + 0.013) • ( f − 128 )] 227 Once internal SS ramp has charged to 0.8V (T0.8), the output voltage is in regulation. Until SS ramp reaches 1.0V (T1.0), the “Fault Latch” is inhibited. where frequency (f) is expressed in KHz. To avoid skipping the soft-start cycle, it is necessary to apply VIN before VCC reaches its UVLO threshold. Setting the Output Voltage Soft-start time is a function of oscillator frequency. EN The output voltage of the regulator can be set from 0.8V to ~80% of VIN by an external resistor divider (R1 and RBIAS in Figure 1). 1.35V 2400 CLKs (1) The internal reference is 0.8V with 650nA, sourced from the FB pin to ensure that if the pin is open, the regulator does not start. 0.8V FB The external resistor divider is calculated using: Fault Latch Enable 1.0V 0.8V − 0 .8 V V 0 .8 V = OUT + 650nA RBIAS R1 SS (2) Connect RBIAS between FB and AGND. 3200 CLKs Setting the Frequency T0.8 Oscillator frequency is determined by an external resistor, RT, connected between the R(T) pin and AGND: 4000 CLKs T1.0 Figure 21. Soft-Start Timing Diagram f(KHz ) = The regulator does not allow the low-side MOSFET to operate in full synchronous rectification mode until internal SS ramp reaches 95% of VREF (~0.76V). This helps the regulator start against pre-biased outputs (as shown in Figure 16) and ensures that inductor current does not "ratchet" up during the soft-start cycle. (3) where RT is expressed in KΩ. R T (KΩ ) = (10 6 / f ) − 135 65 (4) where frequency (f) is expressed in KHz. The regulator does not start if RT is left open. VCC UVLO or toggling the EN pin discharges the SS and resets the IC. © 2007 Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation FAN2103 Rev. 1.0.5 10 6 ( 65 • R T ) + 135 FAN2103 — TinyBuck™ 3A, 24V Input, Integrated Synchronous Buck Regulator Circuit Description www.fairchildsemi.com 10 Typically the inductor is set for a ripple current (ΔIL) of 10% to 35% of the maximum DC load. Regulators requiring fast transient response use a value on the high side of this range, while regulators that require very low output ripple and/or use high-ESR capacitors restrict allowable ripple current: V • (1 - D) ΔIL = OUT L•f Loop Compensation The loop is compensated using a feedback network around the error amplifier. Figure 22 shows a complete Type-3 compensation network. Type-2 compensation eliminates R3 and C3. (5) where f is the oscillator frequency and: V • (1 - D) L = OUT ΔIL • f (6) Setting the Ramp Resistor Value The internal ramp voltage excursion (ΔVRAMP) during tON should be set to 0.6V. RRAMP is approximately: RRAMP(KΩ ) = ( VIN − 1.8) • VOUT −2 Figure 22. Compensation Network (7) Because the FAN2103 employs summing current-mode architecture, Type-2 compensation can be used for many applications. For applications that require wide loop bandwidth and/or use very low-ESR output capacitors, Type-3 compensation may be required. There are two levels of current-limit thresholds in FAN2103. The first level of protection is through an internal default limit set at the factory to limit output current beyond normal usage levels. The second level of protection is a flexible one to be set externally by the user. Current-limit protection is enabled whenever the lower of the two thresholds is reached. The FAN2103 uses its internal low-side MOSFET for current-sensing. The current-limit threshold voltage (VILIM) is compared to the voltage drop across the low-side MOSFET, sampled at the end of each PWM off-time/cycle. The internal default threshold (with ILIM open) is temperature compensated. RRAMP provides feedforward compensation for changes in VIN. With a fixed RRAMP value, the modulator gain increases as VIN is reduced, which could make it difficult to compensate the loop. For designs with low input voltages (3V to 6.5V), it is recommended that a separate RRAMP and the compensation component values are used as compared to designs with VIN between 6.5V and 24V. 18 x10 −6 • VIN • f where frequency (f) is expressed in KHz. Setting the Current Limit Protection The converter output is monitored and protected against extreme overload, short-circuit, over-voltage, and under-voltage conditions. The 10µA current sourced from the ILIM pin can be used to establish a lower, temperature–dependent, current-limit threshold by connecting an external resistor (RILIM) to AGND: RILIM(KΩ) = 10.4 • K T • (IOUT − ΔIL ) + 142.5 2 FAN2103 — TinyBuck™ 3A, 24V Input, Integrated Synchronous Buck Regulator Calculating the Inductor Value An internal “Fault Latch” is set for any fault intended to shut down the IC. When the fault latch is set, the IC discharges VOUT by enhancing the low-side MOSFET until FB<0.25V. The MOSFET is not turned on again unless FB>0.5V. This behavior discharges the output without causing undershoot (negative output voltage). (8) where: IOUT = desired current limit set point in Amps, KT = the normalized temperature coefficient of the low-side MOSFET (Q2) from Figure 8. 0.25/0.5V FB After 16 consecutive, pulse-by-pulse, current-limit cycles, the fault latch is set and the regulator shuts down. Cycling VCC or EN restores operation after a normal soft-start cycle (refer to Auto-Restart section). FAULT PWM GATE DRIVE PWM LATCH Figure 23. Latched Fault Response The over-current protection fault latch is active during the soft-start cycle. Use a 1% resistor for RILIM. © 2007 Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation FAN2103 Rev. 1.0.5 www.fairchildsemi.com 11 Over-Temperature Protection If FB remains below the under-voltage threshold for 16 consecutive clock cycles, the fault latch is set and the converter shuts down. This fault is prevented from setting the fault latch during soft-start. FAN2103 incorporates an over-temperature protection circuit that sets the fault latch when a die temperature of about 160°C is reached. The IC is allowed to restart when the die temperature falls below 130°C. Over-Voltage Protection / Shutdown Power Good (PGOOD) Signal If FB exceeds 115% • VREF for two consecutive clock cycles, the fault latch is set and shutdown occurs. PGOOD is an open-drain output that asserts LOW when VOUT is out of regulation, as measured at the FB pin (thresholds are specified in the Electrical Specifications section). PGOOD does not assert HIGH until the fault latch is enabled (T1.0). A shorted high-side MOSFET condition is detected when SW voltage exceeds ~0.7V while the low-side MOSFET is fully enhanced. The fault latch is set immediately upon detection. PCB Layout The two fault protection circuits above are active all the time, including during soft-start. Auto-Restart After a fault, EN is discharged with 1µA to a 1.1V threshold before the 800KΩ pull-up is restored. A new soft-start cycle begins when EN charges above 1.35V. Depending on the external circuit, the FAN2103 can be provisioned to remain latched-off or automatically restart after a fault. Table 1. Fault / Restart Provisioning EN pin Controller / Restart State Pull to GND OFF (disabled) VCC No restart – latched OFF (after VCC comes up) Open Immediate restart after fault Cap to GND New soft-start cycle after: tDELAY (ms) = 3.9 • C(nf) Figure 25. Recommended PCB Layout With EN left open, restart is immediate. If auto-restart is not desired, tie the EN pin to the VCC pin or pull it high after VCC comes up with a logic gate to keep the 1µA current sink from discharging EN to 1.1V. Figure 24.
