LM3100
SIMPLE SWITCHER ® Synchronous 1MHz 1.5A
Step-Down Voltage Regulator
General Description
Features
The LM3100 Synchronously Rectified Buck Converter features all functions needed to implement a highly efficient,
cost effective buck regulator capable of supplying 1.5A to
loads with voltages as low as 0.8V. Dual 40V N-Channel
synchronous MOSFET switches allow for low external component thus reducing complexity and minimizing board
space. The LM3100 is designed to work exceptionally well
with ceramic and other very low ESR output capacitors. The
Constant ON-Time (COT) regulation scheme requires no
loop compensation, results in fast load transient response,
and simplifies circuit implementation. Through the use of a
unique design the regulator does not rely on output capacitor
ESR for stability, as do most other COT regulators. The
operating frequency remains nearly constant with line and
load variations due to the inverse relationship between the
input voltage and the on-time. The oprating frequency can
be externally programmed up to 1MHz. Protection features
include VCC under-voltage lockout, thermal shutdown and
gate drive under-voltage lockout. The part is available in a
thermally enhanced eTSSOP-20 package

Functional Description
The LM3100 Step Down Switching Regulator features all
functions needed to implement a cost effective, efficient buck
power converter capable of supplying 1.5A to a load. This
voltage regulator contains Dual 40V N-Channel buck synchronous switches and is available in a thermally enhanced
eTSSOP-20 package. The Constant ON-Time (COT) regulation scheme requires no loop compensation, results in fast
load transient response, and simplifies circuit implementation. It will work correctly even with an all ceramic output
capacitor network and does not rely on the output capacitor’s
ESR for stability. The operating frequency remains constant
with line and load variations due to the inverse relationship
between the input voltage and the on-time. The valley current limit detection circuit, internally set at 1.9A, inhibits the
high-side switch until the inductor current level subsides.
Please refer to the functional block diagram with a typical
application circuit.
The LM3100 can be applied in numerous applications and
can operate efficiently from inputs as high as 36V. Protection
features include: Thermal shutdown, VCC under-voltage
lockout, gate drive under-voltage lockout.
(2)
The output voltage is set by two external resistors (RFB1,
RFB2). The regulated output voltage is calculated as follows:
VOUT = 0.8V x (RFB1 + RFB2)/RFB2
Start-up Regulator (VCC)
The start-up regulator is integrated within LM3100. The input
pin (VIN) can be connected directly to line voltage up to 36V,
with transient capability to 40V. The VCC output regulates at
6V, and is current limited to 65 mA. Upon power up, the
regulator sources current into the external capacitor at VCC
(CVCC). CVCC must be at least 680nF for stability. When the
voltage on the VCC pin reaches the under-voltage lockout
threshold of 3.75V, the buck switch is enabled and the
Soft-start pin is released to allow the soft-start capacitor
(CSS) to charge.
The minimum input voltage is determined by the dropout
voltage of VCC, and the VCC UVLO falling threshold ()3.7
V). If VIN is less than )4.0V, the VCC UVLO activates to shut
off the output.
Hysteretic Control Circuit
Overview
The LM3100 buck DC-DC regulator employs a control
scheme in which the high-side switch on-time varies inversely with the line voltage (VIN). Control is based on a
comparator and the one-shot on-timer, with the output voltage feedback (FB) compared with an internal reference of
0.8V. If the FB level is below the reference the buck switch is
turned on for a fixed time determined by the input voltage
and a programming resistor (RON). Following the on-time,
the switch remains off for a minimum of 260ns. If FB is below
the reference at that time the switch turns on again for
another on-time period. The switching will continue until
regulation is achieved.
The regulator will operate in discontinuous conduction mode
at light load currents, and continuous conduction mode with
heavy load current. In discontinuous conduction mode
(DCM), current through the output inductor starts at zero and
ramps up to a peak during the on-time, then ramps back to
zero before the end of the off-time. The next on-time period
starts when the voltage at FB falls below the internal reference. Until then the inductor current remains zero and the
load is supplied entirely by the output capacitor. In this mode
the operating frequency is lower than in continuous conduction mode, and varies with load current. Conversion efficiency is maintained since the switching losses are reduced
with the reduction in load and switching frequency. The
discontinuous operating frequency can be calculated approximately as follows:
Regulation Comparator
The feedback voltage at FB is compared to the internal
reference voltage of 0.8V. In normal operation (the output
voltage is regulated), an on-time period is initiated when the
voltage at FB falls below 0.8V. The buck switch stays on for
the on-time, causing the FB voltage to rise above 0.8V. After
the on-time period, the buck switch stays off until the FB
voltage falls below 0.8V. Bias current at the FB pin is nominally 100 nA.
Over-Voltage Comparator
The voltage at FB is compared to an internal 0.92V reference. If the voltage at FB rises above 0.92V the on-time
pulse is immediately terminated. This condition can occur if
the input voltage, or the output load, changes suddenly.
Once the OVP is activated, the buck switch remains off until
the voltage at FB pin falls below 0.92V. The low side switch
will stay on to discharge the inductor energy and until the
inductor current decays to zero. The low side switch will be
turned off.
ON-Time Timer, Shutdown
The LM3100 main switch is determined by the RON resistor
and the input voltage (VIN), and is calculated from:
(4)
The inverse relationship with VIN results in a nearly constant
frequency as VIN is varied. RON should be selected for a
minimum on-time (at maximum VIN) greater than 200 ns for
proper current limit operation. This requirement limits the
maximum frequency for each application, depending on VIN
and VOUT, calculated from the following:
(1)
where RL = the load resistance
In continuous conduction mode (CCM), current always flows
through the inductor and never reaches zero during the
off-time. In this mode, the operating frequency remains relatively constant with load and line variations. The CCM operating frequency can be calculated approximately as follows:

nous switch. Referring to Functional Block Diagram, when
the buck switch is turned off, inductor current flows through
the load, into PGND, and through the internal low-side synchronous switch. If that current exceeds 1.9A the current
limit comparator toggles, forcing a delay to the start of the
next on-time period. The next cycle starts when the recirculating current falls back below 1.9A and the voltage at
FB is below 0.8V. The inductor current is monitored during
the low-side switch on-time. As long as the overload condition persists and the inductor current exceeds 1.9A, the
high-side switch will remain inhibited. The operating frequency is lower during an over-current due to longer than
normal off-times.
Figure 2 illustrates the inductor current waveform. During
normal operation the load current is low, the average of the
ripple waveform. When an overload occurs the current ratchets up until it exceeds 1.9A. During the Current Limited
portion of Figure 2, the current ramps down to 1.9A during
each off-time, initiating the next on-time (assuming the voltage at FB is < 0.8V). During each on-time the current ramps
up an amount equal to:
(Continued)
(5)
The LM3100 can be remotely shut down by taking the EN pin
below 1.1V. Refer to Figure 1. In this mode the SS pin is
internally grounded, the on-timer is disabled, and bias currents are reduced. Releasing the EN pin allows normal
operation to resume. The voltage at the EN pin is between
1.5V and 3.0V, depending on VIN and the pull-up resistor.

During this time the LM3100 is in a constant current mode,

N - Channel Buck Switch and
Driver
RFB1 and RFB2 should be chosen from standard value resistors in the range of 1.0 kΩ - 10 kΩ which satisfy the above
ratio.
For VOUT = 0.8V, the FB pin can be connected to the output
directly. However, the converter operation needs a minimum
inductor current ripple to maintain good regulation when no
load is connected. This minimum load is about 10 µA and
can be implemented by adding a pre-load resistor to the
output.
RON: The minimum value for RON is calculated from:
The LM3100 integrates an N-Channel buck (high-side)
switch and associated floating high voltage gate driver. The
gate drive circuit works in conjunction with an external bootstrap capacitor and an internal high voltage diode. A 33 nF
capacitor (CBST) connected between BST and SW pins provides voltage to the high-side driver during the buck switch
on-time. During each off-time, the SW pin falls to approximately -1V and CBST charges from the VCC supply through
the internal diode. The minimum off-time of 260ns ensures
adequate time each cycle to recharge the bootstrap capacitor.
Softstart
The soft-start feature allows the converter to gradually reach
a steady state operating point, thereby reducing start-up
stresses and current surges. Upon turn-on, after VCC
reaches the under-voltage threshold, an internal 8µA current
source charges up the external capacitor at the SS pin. The
ramping voltage at SS (and the non-inverting input of the
regulation comparator) ramps up the output voltage in a
controlled manner.
An internal switch grounds the SS pin if VCC is below the
under-voltage lockout threshold, if a thermal shutdown occurs, or if the EN pin is grounded. Using an externally
controlled switch, the output voltage can be shut off by taking
the SS pin to ground. Releasing the switch allows the SS pin
to ramp up, and the output voltage to return to normal. The
shut-down configuration is shown in Figure 3.
Equation 1 can be used to select RON if a specific frequency
is desired as long as the above limitation is met.
L: The main parameter effected by the inductor is the output
current ripple amplitude (IOR). The maximum allowable (IOR
must be determined at both the minimum and maximum
nominal load currents. At minimum load current, the lower
peak must not reach 0 mA. At maximum load current, the
upper peak must not exceed the current limit threshold
(1.9A). The allowable ripple current is calculated from the
following equations:
IOR(MAX1) = 2 x IO(min)
or
IOR(MAX2) = 2 x (1.9A - IO(max))
The lesser of the two ripple amplitudes calculated above is
then used in the following equation:
(7)
where VIN is the maximum input voltage and Fs is determined from equation 1. This provides a value for L. The next
larger standard value should be used. L should be rated for
the IPK current level shown in Figure 2.
20174706
FIGURE 3. Alternate Shutdown Implementation
Thermal Protection
Inductor Selector for VOUT = 3.3V
The LM3100 should be operated so the junction temperature
does not exceed the maximum limit. An internal Thermal
Shutdown circuit, which activates (typically) at 165˚C, takes
the controller to a low power reset state by disabling the buck
switch and the on-timer, and grounding the Softstart pin. This
feature helps prevent catastrophic failures from accidental
device overheating. When the junction temperature falls
back below 145˚C (typical hysteresis = 20˚C), the Softstart
pin is released and normal operation resumes.

EXTERNAL COMPONENTS

CBST: The recommended value for CBST is 33 nF. A high
quality ceramic capacitor with low ESR is recommended as
CBST supplies a surge current to charge the buck switch gate
at turn-on. A low ESR also helps ensure a complete recharge
during each off-time.
CSS: The capacitor at the SS pin determines the soft-start
time, i.e. the time for the reference voltage at the regulation
comparator, and the output voltage, to reach their final value.
The time is determined from the following:

Inductor Selector for VOUT = 0.8V
CFB: If output voltage is higher than 1.6V, this feedback cap
is needed for Discontinuous Conduction Mode to improve
the output ripple performance, the recommended value for
CFB is 10 nF.
PC BOARD LAYOUT
20174737
The LM3100 regulation, over-voltage, and current limit comparators are very fast, and will respond to short duration
noise pulses. Layout considerations are therefore critical for
optimum performance. The layout must be as neat and
compact as possible, and all of the components must be as
close as possible to their associated pins. Refer to the
functional block diagram, the loop formed by CIN, the high
and low-side switches internal to the IC, and the PGND pin
should be as small as possible. The PGND connection to Cin
should be as short and direct as possible. There should be
several vias connecting the Cin ground terminal to the
ground plane placed as close to the capacitor as possible.
The boost capacitor should be connected as close to the SW
and BST pins as possible. The feedback divider resistors
and the CFB capacitor should be located close to the FB pin.
A long trace run from the top of the divider to the output is
generally acceptable since this is a low impedance node.
Ground the bottom of the divider directly to the GND (pin 7).
The output capacitor, COUT, should be connected close to
the load and tied directly into the ground plane. The inductor
should connect close to the SW pin with as short a trace as
possible to help reduce the potential for EMI (electromagnetic interference) generation.
If it is expected that the internal dissipation of the LM3100
will produce excessive junction temperatures during normal
operation, good use of the PC board’s ground plane can help
considerably to dissipate heat. The exposed pad on the
bottom of the IC package can be soldered to a ground plane
and that plane should extend out from beneath the IC to help
dissipate the heat. The exposed pad is internally connected
to the IC substrate. Additionally the use of wide PC board
traces, where possible, can help conduct heat away from the
IC. Using numerous vias to connect the die attach pad to an
internal ground plane is a good practice. Judicious positioning of the PC board within the end product, along with the
use of any available air flow (forced or natural convection)
can help reduce the junction temperature.
CVCC: The capacitor on the VCC output provides not only
noise filtering and stability, but also prevents false triggering
of the VCC UVLO at the buck switch on/off transitions. For
this reason, CVCC should be no smaller than 680 nF for
stability, and should be a good quality, low ESR, ceramic
capacitor.
CO and CO3: CO should generally be no smaller than 10 µF.
Experimentation is usually necessary to determine the minimum value for CO, as the nature of the load may require a
larger value. A load which creates significant transients requires a larger value for CO than a fixed load.
CO3 is a small value ceramic capacitor to further suppress
high frequency noise at VOUT. A 47nF is recommended,
located close to the LM3100.
CIN and CIN3: CIN’s purpose is to supply most of the switch
current during the on-time, and limit the voltage ripple at VIN,
on the assumption that the voltage source feeding VIN has
an output impedance greater than zero. If the source’s dynamic impedance is high (effectively a current source), it
supplies the average input current, but not the ripple current.
At maximum load current, when the buck switch turns on, the
current into VIN suddenly increases to the lower peak of the
inductor’s ripple current, ramps up to the peak value, then
drop to zero at turn-off. The average current during the
on-time is the load current. For a worst case calculation, CIN
must supply this average load current during the maximum
on-time. CIN is calculated from:
(8)
where IO is the load current, tON is the maximum on-time,
and ∆V is the allowable ripple voltage at VIN.
CIN3’s purpose is to help avoid transients and ringing due to
long lead inductance at VIN. A low ESR, 0.1µF ceramic chip
capacitor is recommended, located close to the LM3100.
