The LP6229 measures the output voltage through an external resistive voltage divider and compares that to the internal 0.6V reference to generate the error voltage to the inductor current to regulate the output voltage. the use of current-mode regulation improves transient response and control loop stability. When the LP6229 is disable(EN=Low),both power switches are off. There is no current path from SW to OUT. There fore, the output voltage discharges to ground. When the LP6229 is enabled(EN=High),a limited start-current charges the output voltage rising to SW, then the part operates in force PWM mode for regulating the output voltage to the target value. At the beginning of each cycle, the N-channel MOSFET switch is turned on, forcing the inductor current to rise, The current at the source of the switch is internally measured and converted to a voltage by the current sense amplifier. That voltage is compared to the error voltage. When the inductor current rises sufficiently, the PWM comparator turns off the switch, forcing the inductor current to the output capacitor through the internal P-Channel MOSFET rectifier, which forces the inductor current to decrease. The peak inductor current is controlled by the error voltage. Thus the output voltage controls the inductor current to satisfy the lode. Setting the Output Voltage Set the output voltage by selecting the resistive voltage divider ratio. The voltage divider drops the output voltage to the 0.6V feedback voltage. Use a 100K resistor for R2 of the voltage divider. Determine the high-side resistor R1 by the equation: Vout=(R1/R2+1) x VFB Current Limitation 1.5A (Typ.). When the switch current reaches the limited value, the internal power-MOS is turned off immediately until the next cycle. Inductor Selection For a better efficiency in high switching frequency converter, the inductor selection has to use a proper core material such as ferrite core to reduce the core loss and choose low ESR wire to reduce copper loss. The most important point is to prevent the core saturated when handling the maximum peak current. Using a shielded inductor can minimize radiated noise in sensitive applications. The maximum peak inductor current is the maximum input current plus the half of inductor ripple current. The calculated peak current has to be smaller than the current limitation in the electrical characteristics. A typical setting of the inductor ripple current is 20% to 40% of the maximum input current. If the selection is 40%, the maximum peak inductor current is The minimum inductance value is derived from the following equation : Depending on the application, the recommended inductor value is between 2.2μH to 4.7μH. Diode Selection To achieve high efficiency, Schottky diode is good choice for low forward drop voltage and fast switching time. The output diode rating should be able to handle the maximum output voltage, average power dissipation and the pulsating diode peak current. The internal power-MOS switch current is monitored cycle-by-cycle and is limited to the value not exceed LP6229 –00 Version 1.0 Datasheet Jul.-2013 www.lowpowersemi.com -- Page 4 of 6 Preliminary Datasheet LP6229 Input Capacitor Selection For better input bypassing, low-ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended for performance. A 10μF input capacitor is sufficient for most applications. For a lower output power requirement application, this value can be decreased. Output Capacitor Selection For lower output voltage ripple, low-ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended. The tantalum capacitors can be used as well, but the ESR is bigger than ceramic capacitor. The output voltage ripple consists of two components: one is the pulsating output ripple current flows through the ESR, and the other is the capacitive ripple caused by charging and discharging. LP6229 –00 Version 1.0 Datasheet Jul.-2013 Layout Guideline For high frequency switching power supplies, the PCB layout is important step in system application design. In order to let IC achieve good regulation, high efficiency and stability, it is strongly recommended the power components should be placed as close as possible. The set races should be wide and short. The feedback pin and then works of feedback and compensation should keep away from the power loops, and be shielded with a ground trace or plane to prevent noise coupling. www.lowpowersemi.com -- Page 5 of 6 Preliminary Datasheet LP6229 Packaging Information LP6229 –00 Version 1.0 Datasheet Jul.-2013 www.lowpowersemi.com -- Page 6 of 6
