IK5302
Detailed Description
The IK5302 is a 18V 3A synchronous step-down (buck) converter with two integrated High
side and Low side N-LDMOS transistors. The IK5302 implements current control method which
provides high stability during operation and fast response during abrupt load change. It operates
from a 4.5V to 18V input voltage range and supplies up to 3A of load current. The IK5302
operates on fixed 1Mhz frequency.
Soft Start
The IK5302 has an internal soft start feature to limit in-rush current and ensure the output
voltage ramps up smoothly to regulation voltage. A soft start process begins when the input
voltage rises to 3.6V and voltage on EN pin is HIGH. In the soft start process, the output voltage is
typically ramped to regulation voltage in 2.5ms. The soft start time is set internally. The EN pin of
the IK5302 is active HIGH. Connect the EN pin to VIN if the enable function is not used. Pulling
EN to ground will disable the IK5302. Do not leave it open.
Steady-State Operation
Under steady-state conditions, the converter operates in fixed frequency and ContinuousConduction Mode (CCM). Output voltage is divided down by the external voltage divider at the FB
pin. The difference of the FB pin voltage and reference is amplified by the internal trans
conductance error amplifier. The error voltage, which shows on the COMP pin, is compared
against the current signal, which is sum of inductor current signal and ramp compensation signal,
at the PWM comparator input. If the current signal is less than the error voltage, the internal highside switch is on. The inductor current flows from the input through the inductor to the output.
When the current signal exceeds the error voltage, the high-side switch is off. The inductor current
is freewheeling through the internal low-side N-LDMOS switch to output. The internal adaptive
FET driver guarantees no turn on overlap of both high-side and low-side switch.
Output Voltage Programming
Output voltage can be set by feeding back the output to the FB pin by using a resistor divider
network. See the application circuit shown in Figure 1. The resistor divider network includes R1
and R2. Usually, a design is started by picking a fixed R2 value and calculating the required R1
with equation below:
Some standard value of R1, R2 and most used output voltage values are listed in Table.

The combination of R1 and R2 should be large enough to avoid drawing excessive current
from the output, which will cause power loss.

Protection Features
The IK5302 has multiple protection features to prevent system circuit damage under
abnormal conditions.
Over Current Protection (OCP)
The sensed inductor current signal is also used for over current protection. The peak inductor
current is automatically limited cycle by cycle. When the output is shorted to ground under fault
conditions, the inductor current decays very slow during a switching cycle because of VO = 0V. To
prevent catastrophic failure a high side current limit is designed inside the IK5302. The measured
inductor current is compared against a preset voltage which represents the current limit. When the
output current is more than current limit, the high side switch will be turned off.
Power-On Reset (POR)
A power-on reset circuit monitors the input voltage. When the input voltage exceeds 3.6V, the
converter starts operation. When input voltage falls below 3.4V, the converter shuts down.
Thermal Protection
An internal temperature sensor monitors the junction temperature. It shuts down the internal
control circuit and high side N-LDMOS if the junction temperature exceeds 150°C. The regulator
will restart automatically when the junction temperature decreases to 100°C.

Application Information
The basic IK5302 application circuit is show in Figure 1. Component selection is explained
below.
Input Capacitor
The input capacitor must be connected to the VIN pin and GND pin of IK5302 to maintain
steady input voltage and filter out the pulsing input current. The voltage rating of input capacitor
must be greater than maximum input voltage plus ripple voltage.
The input ripple voltage can be approximated by equation below:
Since the input current is discontinuous in a buck converter, the current stress on the input
capacitor is another concern when selecting the capacitor. For a buck circuit, the RMS value of
input capacitor current can be calculated by:
For reliable operation and best performance, the input capacitors must have current rating
higher than ICIN_RMS at worst operating conditions. Ceramic capacitors are preferred for input
capacitors because of their low ESR and high current rating. Depending on the application circuits,
other low ESR tantalum capacitor may also be used. When selecting ceramic capacitors, X5R or
X7R type dielectric ceramic capacitors should be used for their better temperature and voltage
characteristics. Note that the ripple current rating from capacitor manufactures are based on
certain amount of life time. Further de-rating may be necessary in practical design.
Inductor
The inductor is used to supply constant current to output when it is driven by a switching
voltage. For given input and output voltage, inductance and switching frequency together decide
the inductor ripple current, which is:
The peak inductor current is:
High inductance gives low inductor ripple current but requires larger size inductor to avoid
saturation. Low ripple current reduces inductor core losses. It also reduces RMS current through
inductor and switches, which results in less conduction loss. Usually, peak to peak ripple current
on inductor is designed to be 20% to 40% of output current.
When selecting the inductor, make sure it is able to handle the peak current without
saturation even at the highest operating temperature.
The inductor takes the highest current in a buck circuit. The conduction loss on inductor need
to be checked for thermal and efficiency requirements.
Surface mount inductors in different shape and styles are available from Coilcraft, Elytone and
Murata. Shielded inductors are small and radiate less EMI noise. But they cost more than
unshielded inductors. The choice depends on EMI requirement, price and size.

Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is selected based on the DC output voltage rating, output ripple voltage
specification and ripple current rating.
The selected output capacitor must have a higher rated voltage specification than the
maximum desired output voltage including ripple. De-rating needs to be considered for long term
reliability.
Output ripple voltage specification is another important factor for selecting the output
capacitor. In a buck converter circuit, output ripple voltage is determined by inductor value,
switching frequency, output capacitor value and ESR. It can be calculated by the equation below:
where,
CO is output capacitor value, and
ESRCO is the equivalent series resistance of the output capacitor.
When low ESR ceramic capacitor is used as output capacitor, the impedance of the
capacitor at the switching frequency dominates. Output ripple is mainly caused by capacitor value
and inductor ripple current. The output ripple voltage calculation can be simplified to:
If the impedance of ESR at switching frequency dominates, the output ripple voltage is
mainly decided by capacitor ESR and inductor ripple current. The output ripple voltage calculation
can be further simplified to:
For lower output ripple voltage across the entire operating temperature range, X5R or X7R
dielectric type of ceramic, or other low ESR tantalum are recommended to be used as output
capacitors.
In a buck converter, output capacitor current is continuous. The RMS current of output
capacitor is decided by the peak to peak inductor ripple current. It can be calculated by:
Usually, the ripple current rating of the output capacitor is a smaller issue because of the low
current stress. When the buck inductor is selected to be very small and inductor ripple current is
high, the output capacitor could be overstressed.
Loop Compensation
The IK5302 employs peak current mode control for easy use and fast transient response.
Peak current mode control eliminates the double pole effect of the output L&C filter. It greatly
simplifies the compensation loop design.
With peak current mode control, the buck power stage can be simplified to be a one-pole and
one-zero system in frequency domain. The pole is the dominant pole can be calculated by:
The zero is an ESR zero due to output capacitor and its ESR. It is can be calculated by:
where;
CO is the output filter capacitor,
RL is load resistor value, and
ESRCO is the equivalent series resistance of output capacitor.

IK5302
The compensation design is actually to shape the converter control loop transfer function to
get the desired gain and phase. Several different types of compensation network can be used for
the IK5302. In most cases, a series capacitor and resistor network connected to the COMP pin
sets the pole-zero and is adequate for a stable high-bandwidth control loop.
The compensation network design requires several steps:
1. Crossover frequency choice - fC:
Normally this is 1/5 to 1/15 of switching frequency. Higher value improve transient response
but have bigger noise due to wider frequency of interest. Lower value have lower noise, but slower
transient response. Basically 1/10 is a optimal choice for most application. So, for 1.0MHz
operation fC=100kHZ.
2. Next step is Rc resistor choice in the compensation network. Value of Rc insure that on
crossover frequency loop gain will be equal to unity. We can calculate by the formula:
3.
Rc=2*π* fC*Vout*Col(gmea*Vref*gmps)
where fC – is crossover frequency;
Vout – is output voltage;
Co – is output capacitance;
Gmea – error amplifier transconductance (200uA/V);
Vref – reference voltage (Vref=0.8);
Gmps – power stage transconductance (~8.6 A/V);
4. Choose compensation capacitance Cc:
Compensation capacitance defined compensation zero which should be placed on output
stage pole. It can be defined as below:
Cc=Rl*Co/Rc
where Rl – is load resistance;
Co – is output capacitance;
Rc – compensation resistance.
