LM2670EP LM2670EP Enhanced Plastic SIMPLE SWITCHER High Efficiency 3A Step-Down Voltage Regulator with Sync Literature Number: SNVS278A March 22, 2011 LM2670EP Enhanced Plastic SIMPLE SWITCHER® High Efficiency 3A Step-Down Voltage Regulator with Sync General Description Features The LM2670EP series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits which provide all of the active functions for a stepdown (buck) switching regulator capable of driving up to 3A loads with excellent line and load regulation characteristics. High efficiency (>90%) is obtained through the use of a low ON-resistance DMOS power switch. The series consists of fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V and 12V and an adjustable output version. The SIMPLE SWITCHER concept provides for a complete design using a minimum number of external components. The switching clock frequency can be provided by an internal fixed frequency oscillator (260KHz) or from an externally provided clock in the range of 280KHz to 400Khz which allows the use of physically smaller sized components. A family of standard inductors for use with the LM2670EP are available from several manufacturers to greatly simplify the design process. The external Sync clock provides direct and precise control of the output ripple frequency for consistent filtering or frequency spectrum positioning. The LM2670EP series also has built in thermal shutdown, current limiting and an ON/OFF control input that can power down the regulator to a low 50μA quiescent current standby condition. The output voltage is guaranteed to a ±2% tolerance.

If left open-circuited the regulator will be switched at the internal oscillator frequency, between 225KHz and 280KHz. An external clock can be used to force the switching frequency and thereby control the output ripple frequency of the regulator. This capability provides for consistent filtering of the output ripple from system to system as well as precise frequency spectrum positioning of the ripple frequency which is often desired in communications and radio applications. This external frequency must be greater than the LM2670EP internal oscillator frequency, which could be as high as 280KHz, to prevent an erroneous reset of the internal ramp oscillator and PWM control of the power switch. The ramp oscillator is reset on the positive going edge of the sync input signal. It is recommended that the external TTL or CMOS compatible clock (between 0V and a level greater than 3V) be ac coupled to the sync input through a 100pf capacitor and a 1KΩ resistor to ground at pin 5 as shown inFigure 1. Application Hints The LM2670EP provides all of the active functions required for a step-down (buck) switching regulator. The internal power switch is a DMOS power MOSFET to provide power supply designs with high current capability, up to 3A, and highly efficient operation. The LM2670EP is part of the SIMPLE SWITCHER family of power converters. A complete design uses a minimum number of external components, which have been pre-determined from a variety of manufacturers. Using either this data sheet or a design software program called LM267X Made Simple (version 2.0) a complete switching power supply can be designed quickly. The software is provided free of charge and can be downloaded from National Semiconductor's Internet site located at http://www.national.com. SWITCH OUTPUT This is the output of a power MOSFET switch connected directly to the input voltage. The switch provides energy to an inductor, an output capacitor and the load circuitry under control of an internal pulse-width-modulator (PWM). The PWM controller is internally clocked by a fixed 260KHz oscillator. In a standard step-down application the duty cycle (Time ON/ Time OFF) of the power switch is proportional to the ratio of the power supply output voltage to the input voltage. The voltage on pin 1 switches between Vin (switch ON) and below ground by the voltage drop of the external Schottky diode (switch OFF). FEEDBACK This is the input to a two-stage high gain amplifier, which drives the PWM controller. It is necessary to connect pin 6 to the actual output of the power supply to set the dc output voltage. For the fixed output devices (3.3V, 5V and 12V outputs), a direct wire connection to the output is all that is required as internal gain setting resistors are provided inside the LM2670EP. For the adjustable output version two external resistors are required to set the dc output voltage. For stable operation of the power supply it is important to prevent coupling of any inductor flux to the feedback input. INPUT The input voltage for the power supply is connected to pin 2. In addition to providing energy to the load the input voltage also provides bias for the internal circuitry of the LM2670EP. For guaranteed performance the input voltage must be in the range of 8V to 40V. For best performance of the power supply the input pin should always be bypassed with an input capacitor located close to pin 2. ON/OFF This input provides an electrical ON/OFF control of the power supply. Connecting this pin to ground or to any voltage less than 0.8V will completely turn OFF the regulator. The current drain from the input supply when OFF is only 50μA. Pin 7 has an internal pull-up current source of approximately 20μA and a protection clamp zener diode of 7V to ground. When electrically driving the ON/OFF pin the high voltage level for the ON condition should not exceed the 6V absolute maximum limit. When ON/OFF control is not required pin 7 should be left open circuited. C BOOST A capacitor must be connected from pin 3 to the switch output, pin 1. This capacitor boosts the gate drive to the internal MOSFET above Vin to fully turn it ON. This minimizes conduction losses in the power switch to maintain high efficiency. The recommended value for C Boost is 0.01μF. DAP (LLP PACKAGE) GROUND This is the ground reference connection for all components in the power supply. In fast-switching, high-current applications such as those implemented with the LM2670EP, it is recommended that a broad ground plane be used to minimize signal coupling throughout the circuit www.national.com The Die Attach Pad (DAP) can and should be connected to PCB Ground plane/island.

Basic circuit for fixed output voltage applications. 20097708 FIGURE 2. Basic circuit for adjustable output voltage applications Power supply design using the LM2670EP is greatly simplified by using recommended external components. A wide range of inductors, capacitors and Schottky diodes from several manufacturers have been evaluated for use in designs that cover the full range of capabilities (input voltage, output voltage and load current) of the LM2670EP. A simple design procedure using nomographs and component tables provided in this data sheet leads to a working design with very little effort. Alternatively, the design software, LM267X Made Simple (version 6.0), can also be used to provide instant component selection, circuit performance calculations for evaluation, a bill of materials component list and a circuit schematic. INDUCTOR The inductor is the key component in a switching regulator. For efficiency the inductor stores energy during the switch ON time and then transfers energy to the load while the switch is OFF. Nomographs are used to select the inductance value required for a given set of operating conditions. The nomographs as- The individual components from the various manufacturers called out for use are still just a small sample of the vast array of components available in the industry. While these components are recommended, they are not exclusively the only components for use in a design. After a close comparison of component specifications, equivalent devices from other manufacturers could be substituted for use in an application. Important considerations for each external component and an explanation of how the nomographs and selection tables were developed follows. sume that the circuit is operating in continuous mode (the current flowing through the inductor never falls to zero). The magnitude of inductance is selected to maintain a maximum ripple current of 30% of the maximum load current. If the ripple current exceeds this 30% limit the next larger value is selected. 11 200977 Version 2 Revision 2 Print Date/Time: 2011/03/22 16:19:19 www.national.com LM2670EP Enhanced Plastic The inductors offered have been specifically manufactured to provide proper operation under all operating conditions of input and output voltage and load current. Several part types are offered for a given amount of inductance. Both surface mount and through-hole devices are available. The inductors from each of the three manufacturers have unique characteristics. Renco: ferrite stick core inductors; benefits are typically lowest cost and can withstand ripple and transient peak currents above the rated value. These inductors have an external magnetic field, which may generate EMI. Pulse Engineering: powdered iron toroid core inductors; these also can withstand higher than rated currents and, being toroid inductors, will have low EMI. Coilcraft: ferrite drum core inductors; these are the smallest physical size inductors and are available only as surface mount components. These inductors also generate EMI but less than stick inductors. perature rating. Careful inspection of the manufacturer's specification for de-rating of working voltage with temperature is important. INPUT CAPACITOR Fast changing currents in high current switching regulators place a significant dynamic load on the unregulated power source. An input capacitor helps to provide additional current to the power supply as well as smooth out input voltage variations. Like the output capacitor, the key specifications for the input capacitor are RMS current rating and working voltage. The RMS current flowing through the input capacitor is equal to one-half of the maximum dc load current so the capacitor should be rated to handle this. Paralleling multiple capacitors proportionally increases the current rating of the total capacitance. The voltage rating should also be selected to be 1.3 times the maximum input voltage. Depending on the unregulated input power source, under light load conditions the maximum input voltage could be significantly higher than normal operation and should be considered when selecting an input capacitor. The input capacitor should be placed very close to the input pin of the LM2670EP. Due to relative high current operation with fast transient changes, the series inductance of input connecting wires or PCB traces can create ringing signals at the input terminal which could possibly propagate to the output or other parts of the circuitry. It may be necessary in some designs to add a small valued (0.1μF to 0.47μF) ceramic type capacitor in parallel with the input capacitor to prevent or minimize any ringing. OUTPUT CAPACITOR The output capacitor acts to smooth the dc output voltage and also provides energy storage. Selection of an output capacitor, with an associated equivalent series resistance (ESR), impacts both the amount of output ripple voltage and stability of the control loop. The output ripple voltage of the power supply is the product of the capacitor ESR and the inductor ripple current. The capacitor types recommended in the tables were selected for having low ESR ratings. In addition, both surface mount tantalum capacitors and through-hole aluminum electrolytic capacitors are offered as solutions. Impacting frequency stability of the overall control loop, the output capacitance, in conjunction with the inductor, creates a double pole inside the feedback loop. In addition the capacitance and the ESR value create a zero. These frequency response effects together with the internal frequency compensation circuitry of the LM2670EP modify the gain and phase shift of the closed loop system. As a general rule for stable switching regulator circuits it is desired to have the unity gain bandwidth of the circuit to be limited to no more than one-sixth of the controller switching frequency. With the fixed 260KHz switching frequency of the LM2670EP, the output capacitor is selected to provide a unity gain bandwidth of 40KHz maximum. Each recommended capacitor value has been chosen to achieve this result. In some cases multiple capacitors are required either to reduce the ESR of the output capacitor, to minimize output ripple (a ripple voltage of 1% of Vout or less is the assumed performance condition), or to increase the output capacitance to reduce the closed loop unity gain bandwidth (to less than 40KHz). When parallel combinations of capacitors are required it has been assumed that each capacitor is the exact same part type. The RMS current and working voltage (WV) ratings of the output capacitor are also important considerations. In a typical step-down switching regulator, the inductor ripple current (set to be no more than 30% of the maximum load current by the inductor selection) is the current that flows through the output capacitor. The capacitor RMS current rating must be greater than this ripple current. The voltage rating of the output capacitor should be greater than 1.3 times the maximum output voltage of the power supply. If operation of the system at elevated temperatures is required, the capacitor voltage rating may be de-rated to less than the nominal room tem- www.national.com CATCH DIODE When the power switch in the LM2670EP turns OFF, the current through the inductor continues to flow. The path for this current is through the diode connected between the switch output and ground. This forward biased diode clamps the switch output to a voltage less than ground. This negative voltage must be greater than −1V so a low voltage drop (particularly at high current levels) Schottky diode is recommended. Total efficiency of the entire power supply is significantly impacted by the power lost in the output catch diode. The average current through the catch diode is dependent on the switch duty cycle (D) and is equal to the load current times (1D). Use of a diode rated for much higher current than is required by the actual application helps to minimize the voltage drop and power loss in the diode. During the switch ON time the diode will be reversed biased by the input voltage. The reverse voltage rating of the diode should be at least 1.3 times greater than the maximum input voltage. BOOST CAPACITOR The boost capacitor creates a voltage used to overdrive the gate of the internal power MOSFET. This improves efficiency by minimizing the on resistance of the switch and associated power loss. For all applications it is recommended to use a 0.01μF/50V ceramic capacitor. SYNC COMPONENTS When synchronizing the LM2670EP with an external clock it is recommended to connect the clock to pin 5 through a series 100pf capacitor and connect a 1KΩ resistor to ground from pin 5. This RC network creates a short 100nS pulse on each positive edge of the clock to reset the internal ramp oscillator. The reset time of the oscillator is approximately 300nS. 12 200977 Version 2 Revision 2 Print Date/Time: 2011/03/22 16:19:19 When the output voltage is greater than approximately 6V, and the duty cycle at minimum input voltage is greater than approximately 50%, the designer should exercise caution in selection of the output filter components. When an application designed to these specific operating conditions is subjected to a current limit fault condition, it may be possible to observe a large hysteresis in the current limit. This can affect the output voltage of the device until the load current is reduced sufficiently to allow the current limit protection circuit to reset itself. Under current limiting conditions, the LM267x is designed to respond in the following manner: 1. At the moment when the inductor current reaches the current limit threshold, the ON-pulse is immediately terminated. This happens for any application condition. 2. However, the current limit block is also designed to momentarily reduce the duty cycle to below 50% to avoid subharmonic oscillations, which could cause the inductor to saturate. 3. Thereafter, once the inductor current falls below the current limit threshold, there is a small relaxation time during which the duty cycle progressively rises back above 50% to the value required to achieve regulation. If the output capacitance is sufficiently ‘large’, it may be possible that as the output tries to recover, the output capacitor charging current is large enough to repeatedly re-trigger the current limit circuit before the output has fully settled. This condition is exacerbated with higher output voltage settings because the energy requirement of the output capacitor varies as the square of the output voltage (½CV2), thus requiring an increased charging current. A simple test to determine if this condition might exist for a suspect application is to apply a short circuit across the output of the converter, and then remove the shorted output condition. In an application with properly selected external components, the output will recover smoothly. Practical values of external components that have been experimentally found to work well under these specific operating conditions are COUT = 47µF, L = 22µH. It should be noted that even with these components, for a device’s current limit of ICLIM, the maximum load current under which the possibility of the large current limit hysteresis can be minimized is ICLIM/2. For example, if the input is 24V and the set output voltage is 18V, then for a desired maximum current of 1.5A, the current limit of the chosen switcher must be confirmed to be at least 3A. FIXED OUTPUT VOLTAGE DESIGN EXAMPLE A system logic power supply bus of 3.3V is to be generated from a wall adapter which provides an unregulated DC voltage of 13V to 16V. The maximum load current is 2.5A. Through-hole components are preferred. Step 1: Operating conditions are: Vout = 3.3V Vin max = 16V Iload max = 2.5A Step 2: Select an LM2670T-3.3EP. The output voltage will have a tolerance of ±2% at room temperature and ±3% over the full operating temperature range. Step 3: Use the nomograph for the 3.3V device ,Figure 3. The intersection of the 16V horizontal line (Vin max) and the 2.5A vertical line (Iload max) indicates that L33, a 22μH inductor, is required. From Table 1, L33 in a through-hole component is available from Renco with part number RL-1283-22-43 or part number PE-53933 from Pulse Engineering. Step 4: Use Table 3 to determine an output capacitor. With a 3.3V output and a 22μH inductor there are four through-hole output capacitor solutions with the number of same type capacitors to be paralleled and an identifying capacitor code given. Table 2 provides the actual capacitor characteristics. Any of the following choices will work in the circuit: 1 x 220μF/10V Sanyo OS-CON (code C5) 1 x 1000μF/35V Sanyo MV-GX (code C10) 1 x 2200μF/10V Nichicon PL (code C5) 1 x 1000μF/35V Panasonic HFQ (code C7) Step 5: Use Table 4 to select an input capacitor. With 3.3V output and 22μH there are three through-hole solutions. These capacitors provide a sufficient voltage rating and an rms current rating greater than 1.25A (1/2 Iload max). Again using Table 2 for specific component characteristics the following choices are suitable: 1 x 1000μF/63V Sanyo MV-GX (code C14) 1 x 820μF/63V Nichicon PL (code C24) 1 x 560μF/50V Panasonic HFQ (code C13) Step 6: From Table 5 a 3A Schottky diode must be selected. For through-hole components 20V rated diodes are sufficient and 2 part types are suitable: 1N5820 SR302 Step 7: A 0.01μF capacitor will be used for Cboost. SIMPLE DESIGN PROCEDURE Using the nomographs and tables in this data sheet (or use the available design software at http://www.national.com) a complete step-down regulator can be designed in a few simple steps. Step 1: Define the power supply operating conditions: Required output voltage Maximum DC input voltage Maximum output load current Step 2: Set the output voltage by selecting a fixed output LM2670EP (3.3V, 5V or 12V applications) or determine the required feedback resistors for use with the adjustable LM2670−ADJEP Step 3: Determine the inductor required by using one of the four nomographs, Figure 3 through Figure 6. Table 1 provides a specific manufacturer and part number for the inductor. 13 200977 Version 2 Revision 2 Print Date/Time: 2011/03/22 16:19:19 www.national.com LM2670EP Enhanced Plastic Step 4: Using Table 3 (fixed output voltage) or Table 6 (adjustable output voltage), determine the output capacitance required for stable operation. Table 2 provides the specific capacitor type from the manufacturer of choice. Step 5: Determine an input capacitor from Table 4 for fixed output voltage applications. Use Table 2 to find the specific capacitor type. For adjustable output circuits select a capacitor from Table 2 with a sufficient working voltage (WV) rating greater than Vin max, and an rms current rating greater than one-half the maximum load current (2 or more capacitors in parallel may be required). Step 6: Select a diode from Table 5. The current rating of the diode must be greater than I load max and the Reverse Voltage rating must be greater than Vin max. Step 7: Include a 0.01μF/50V capacitor for Cboost in the design. ADDITIONAL APPLICATION INFORMATION LM2670EP Enhanced Plastic ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT DESIGN EXAMPLE In this example it is desired to convert the voltage from a two battery automotive power supply (voltage range of 20V to 28V, typical in large truck applications) to the 14.8VDC alternator supply typically used to power electronic equipment from single battery 12V vehicle systems. The load current required is 2A maximum. It is also desired to implement the power supply with all surface mount components. Step 1: Operating conditions are: Vout = 14.8V Vin max = 28V Iload max = 2A Step 2: Select an LM2670S-ADJEP. To set the output voltage to 14.9V two resistors need to be chosen (R1 and R2 in Figure 2). For the adjustable device the output voltage is set by the following relationship: Using Figure 6, the intersection of 27V•μS horizontally and the 2A vertical line (Iload max) indicates that L38 , a 68μH inductor, should be used. From Table 1, L38 in a surface mount component is available from Pulse Engineering with part number PE-54038S. Step 4: Use Table 6 to determine an output capacitor. With a 14.8V output the 12.5 to 15V row is used and with a 68μH inductor there are three surface mount output capacitor solutions. Table 2 provides the actual capacitor characteristics based on the C Code number. Any of the following choices can be used: 1 x 33μF/20V AVX TPS (code C6) 1 x 47μF/20V Sprague 594 (code C8) 1 x 47μF/20V Kemet T495 (code C8) Important Note: When using the adjustable device in low voltage applications (less than 3V output), if the nomograph, Figure 6, selects an inductance of 22μH or less, Table 6 does not provide an output capacitor solution. With these conditions the number of output capacitors required for stable operation becomes impractical. It is recommended to use either a 33μH or 47μH inductor and the output capacitors from Table 6. Step 5: An input capacitor for this example will require at least a 35V WV rating with an rms current rating of 1A (1/2 Iout max). From Table 2 it can be seen that C12, a 33μF/35V capacitor from Sprague, has the required voltage/current rating of the surface mount components. Step 6: From Table 5 a 3A Schottky diode must be selected. For surface mount diodes with a margin of safety on the voltage rating one of five diodes can be used: SK34 30BQ040 30WQ04F MBRS340 MBRD340 Step 7: A 0.01μF capacitor will be used for Cboost. Where VFB is the feedback voltage of typically 1.21V. A recommended value to use for R1 is 1K. In this example then R2 is determined to be: R2 = 11.23KΩ The closest standard 1% tolerance value to use is 11.3KΩ This will set the nominal output voltage to 14.88V which is within 0.5% of the target value. Step 3: To use the nomograph for the adjustable device, Figure 6, requires a calculation of the inductor Volt•microsecond constant (E•T expressed in V•μS) from the following formula: where VSAT is the voltage drop across the internal power switch which is Rds(ON) times Iload. In this example this would be typically 0.15Ω x 2A or 0.3V and VD is the voltage drop across the forward bisased Schottky diode, typically 0.5V. The switching frequency of 260KHz is the nominal value to use to estimate the ON time of the switch during which energy is stored in the inductor. For this example E•T is found to be: www.national.com LLP PACKAGE DEVICES The LM2670EP may be offered in the 14 lead LLP surface mount package to allow for a significantly decreased footprint with equivalent power dissipation compared to the TO-263.
