A.01 AME AME5288 6A Peak, 300KHz ~ 1.4MHz Synchronous Rectified Step-Down Converter n Detailed Description Normal Operation The AME5288 uses a user adjustable frequency, current mode step-down architecture with internal MOSFET switch. During normal operation, the internal high-side (PMOS) switch is turned on each cycle when the oscillator sets the SR latch, and turned off when the comparator resets the SR latch. The peak inductor current at which comparator resets the SR latch is controlled by the output of error amplifier EA. While the high-side switch is off, the low-side switch turns on until either the lowside current limit reached or the beginning of the next switching cycle. Short Circuit Protection When the output is shorted to ground, the frequency of the oscillator is reduced to about 1/4 of the normal frequency to ensure that the inductor current has more time to decay, thereby preventing runaway. Meanwhile, AME5288 enters hiccup mode, the average short circuit current is greatly reduced to alleviate the thermal issue and to protect the regulator. Dropout Operation The output voltage is dropped from the input supply for the voltage which across the high-side switch. As the input supply voltage decreases to a value approaching the output voltage, the duty cycle increases toward the maximum on-time. Further reduction of the supply voltage forces the high-side switch to remain on for more than one cycle until it reaches 100% duty cycle. Soft-Start The AME5288 employs internal soft-start circuitry to reduce supply inrush current during startup conditions. Over Temperature Protection The In most applications the AME5288 does not dissipate much heat due to high efficiency. But, in applications where the AME5288 is running at high ambient temperature with low supply voltage and high duty cycles, such as in dropout, the heat dissipated may exceed the maximum junction temperature of the part. If the junction temperature reaches approximately 170oC, the internal high-side power switch will be turned off and the SW switch will become high impedance. Rev. A.01 7 AME 6A Peak, 300KHz ~ 1.4MHz Synchronous Rectified Step-Down Converter AME5288 n Application Information Inductor Selection For most applications, the value of the inductor will fall in the range of 2.2µH to 4.7µH. Its value is chosen based on the desired ripple current. Large value inductors lower ripple current and small value inductors result in higher ripple currents. Higher V IN or VOUT also increase the ripple current ∆IL: V 1 ∆I L = VOUT 1 − OUT f ×L VIN Capacitor Selection In continuous mode, the source current of the top MOSFET is a square wave of duty cycle VOUT/VIN. To prevent large voltage transients, a low ESR input capacitor sized for maximum RMS current must be used. The maximum RMS capacitor current is given by: ≅ I OMAX When choosing the input and output ceramic capacitors, choose the X5R or X7R dielectric formulations. These dielectrics have the best temperature and voltage characteristics of all the ceramics for given value and size. Output Voltage Programming The output voltage of the AME5285 is set by a resistive divider according to the following formula: A reasonable inductor current ripple is usually set as 1/3 to 1/5 of maximum out current. The DC current rating of the inductor should be at least equal to the maximum load current plus half the ripple current to prevent core saturation. For better efficiency, choose a low DCR inductor. CIN requires IRMS For a fixed output voltage, the output ripple is highest at maximum input voltage since ∆IL increases with input voltage. VOUT (V IN − VOUT ) VIN R1 V OUT = 0 .8 × 1 + Volt . R 2 Some standard value of R1, R2 for most commonly used output voltage values are listed in Table 1. VOUT(V) R1(KΩ) R2(KΩ ) 1.1 7.5 20 1.2 10 20 1.5 17.4 20 1.8 30 24 2.5 51 24 3.3 75 24 This formula has a maximum at VIN =2V OUT, where IRMS=IOUT/2. For simplification, use an input capacitor with a RMS current rating greater than half of the maximum load current. The selection of COUT is driven by the required effective series resistance (ESR). Typically, once the ESR requirement for COUT has been met, the RMS current rating generally far exceeds the IRIPPLE(P-P) requirement. The output ripple ∆VOUT is determined by: 1 ∆VOUT ≅ ∆I L ESR + 8 fCOUT 8 Rev. A.01 AME AME5288 6A Peak, 300KHz ~ 1.4MHz Synchronous Rectified Step-Down Converter Loop Compensation The AME5288 employs peak current mode control for easy use and fast transient response. Peak current mode control eliminates the double pole effect of the output LC 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 can be calculated by: f P1 = 1 2π × C OUT × R L The zero is a ESR zero due to output capacitor and its ESR. It can be calculated by: f Z1 = 1 2π × C OUT × ESRCOUT Where COUT is the output capacitor, RL is load resistance; ESRCOUT is the equivalent series resistance of output capacitor. The compensation design is to shape the converter close loop transfer function to get desired gain and phase. For 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. In the AME5288, FB pin and COMP pin are the inverting input and the output of internal transconductance error amplifier (EA). A series RC and CC compensation network connected to COMP pin provides one pole and one zero: for RC<<AEA/GEA f P2 = 1 GEA ≈ A 2π × CC × AEA 2π × CC × RC + EA G EA fZ2 = 1 2 π × C C × RC Rev. A.01 where GEA is the error amplifier transconductance AEA is the error amplifier voltage gain RC is the compensation resistor CC is the compensation capacitor The desired crossover frequency fC of the system is defined to be the frequency where the control loop has unity gain. It is also called the bandwidth of the converter. In general, a higher bandwidth means faster response to load transient. However, the bandwidth should not be too high because of system stability concern. When designing the compensation loop, converter stability under all line and load condition must be considered. Usually, it is recommended to set the bandwidth to be less than 1/10 of switching frequency. Using selected crossover frequency, fC, to calculate RC: RC = f C × VOUT 2π × COUT × VFB GEA × GCS where GCS is the current sense circuit transconductance. The compensation capacitor CC and resistor RC together make zero. This zero is put somewhere close to the pole fP1 of selected frequency. CC is selected by: CC = COUT × RL RC Checking Transient Response The regulator loop response can be checked by looking at the load transient response. Switching regulators take several cycles to respond to a step in load current. When a load step occurs, V OUT immediately shifts by an amount equal to (∆ILOAD × ESR), where ESR is the effective series resistance of COUT. ∆ILOAD also begins to charge or discharge COUT, which generates a feedback error signal. The regulator loop then acts to return VOUT to its steadystate value. During this recovery time VOUT can be monitored for overshoot or ringing that would indicate a stability problem. 9 AME AME5288 6A Peak, 300KHz ~ 1.4MHz Synchronous Rectified Step-Down Converter Efficiency Considerations Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce losses, one major source usually account for most of the losses in AME5288 circuits: I2R losses. The I2R loss dominates the efficiency loss at medium to high load currents. The I2R losses are calculated from the resistances of the internal switches, RSW, and external inductor RL. In continuous mode, the average output current flowing through inductor L is "chopped" between the main switch and the synchronous switch. Thus the series resistance looking into the SW pin is a function of both top and bottom MOSFET RDS(ON) and the duty cycle (D) as follows: RSW = (RDS(ON)TOP)(D) + (RDS(ON)BOTTOM )(1-D) The RDS(ON) for both the top and bottom MOSFETs can be obtained from Electrical Characteristics table. Thus, to obtained I2R losses, simply add RSW to RL and multiply the result by the square of the average output current. Other losses including CIN and COUT ESR dissipative losses and inductor core losses generally account for less than 2% total additional loss. Thermal Considerations In most application the AME5288 does not dissipate much heat due to its high efficiency. But, in applications where the AME5288 is running at high ambient temperature with low supply voltage and high duty cycles, such as in dropout, the heat dissipated may exceed the maximum junction temperature of the part. If the junction temperature reaches approximately 170oC, both power switches will be turned off and the SW switch will become high impedance. 10 Rev.
