AME5253A
n General Description
The AME5253A is a high efficiency monolithic synchronous buck regulator using a constant frequency, current mode architecture. Capable of delivering 1A output
current over a wide input voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V.
Supply current with no load is 400µA and drops to<1µA
in shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V input Voltage range makes
the AME5253A ideally suited for single Li-Ion batterypowered applications. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation, extending battery life in portable systems.
PWM pulse skipping mode operation provides very low
output ripple voltage for noise sensitive applications. At
very light load, the AME5253A will automatically skip
pulses in pulse skip mode operation to maintain output
regulation.
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency
and eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode.
Low output voltages are easily supported with the 0.6V
feedback reference voltage. The AME5253A is available
in SOT-25 packages.
Other features include soft start, lower internal reference voltage with 2% accuracy, over temperature protection, and over current protection.

AME5253A
n Detailed Description
Main Control Loop
AME5253A uses a constant frequency, current mode
step-down architecture. Both the main (P-channel
MOSFET) and synchronous (N-channel MOSFET)
switches are intermal. During normal operation, the internal top power MOSFET is turned on each cycle when
the oscillator sets the RS latch, and turned off when the
current comparator resets the RS latch. While the top
MOSFET is off, the bottom MOSFET is turned on until
either the inductor current starts to reverse as indicated
by the current reversal comparator IRCMP.
Pulse Skipping Mode Operation
At light loads, the inductor current may reach zero or
reverse on each pulse.The bottom MOSFET is turned off
by the current reversal comparator, IRCMP, and the switch
voltage will ring. This is discontinuous mode operation,
and is normal behavior for the switching regulator.
n Application Information
The basic AME5253A application circuit is shown in
Typical Application Circuit. External component selection is determined by the maximum load current and begins with the selection of the inductor value and followed
by CIN and COUT.
Inductor Selection
For a given input and output voltage, the inductor value
and operating frequency determine the ripple current. The
ripple current DIL increases with higher VIN and decreases
with higher inductance.
∆I L =
1
( f )(L )
VOUT 1 −
VOUT
VIN
A reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is
∆IL=0.4(lmax). 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 DC-resistance inductor.
Short-Circuit Protection
When the output is shorted to ground, the frequency of
the oscillator is reduced to about 180KHz. This frequency
foldback ensures that the inductor current hsa more time
do decay, thereby preventing runaway. The oscillator’ s
frequency will progressively increase to 1.5MHz when VFB
or VOUT rises above 0V.
Dropout Operation
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 main switch to remain on for
more than one cycle until it reaches 100% duty cycle.
The output voltage will then be determined by the input
voltage minus the voltage drop across the P-channel
MOSFET and the inductor.
Rev.A.03
CIN and COUT Selection
The input capacitance, CIN is needed to filter the trapezoidal current at the source of the top MOSFET. To
prevent large voltage transients, a low ESR input
capacitorsized for the maximum RMS current must be
used. The maximum RMS capacitor current is given by:
I RMS = I OUT ( MAX )
VOUT
VIN
V IN
−1
VOUT
This formula has a maximum at VIN=2VOUT, where
IRMS=IOUT/2. This simple worst-case condition is commonly used for design because even significant deviations do not offer much relief. Note that the capacitor
manufacturer ripple current ratings are often based on 2000
hours of life. This makes it advisable to further derate the
capacitor, or choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than required.

AME5253A
The selection of COUT is determined by the effective series
resistance(ESR) that is required to minimize voltage ripple
and load step transients. The output ripple, VOUT, is determined by:
∆VOUT ≅ ∆I L ESR +
Where VREF equals to 0.6V typical. The resistive divider allows the FB pin to sense a fraction of the output
voltage as shown in Figure 4.
0.6V ≤ VOUT ≤ 5.5V

Using Ceramic Input and Output Capacitors
Higher values, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now
becoming available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple
current, high voltage rating and low ESR make them ideal
for switching regulator applications. However, care must
be taken when these capacitors are used at the input and
output. When a ceramic capacitor is used at the input
and the power is supplied by a wall adapter through long
wires, a load step at the output can induce ringing at the
input, VIN. At best, this ringing can couple to the output
and be mistaken as loop instability. At worst, a sudden
inrush of current through the long wires can potentially
cause a voltage spike at VIN large enough to damage the
part.
Output Voltage Programming
The output voltage is set by an external resistive divider
according to the following equation :
VOUT = V REF × 1 +

Thermal Considerations
In most applications the AME5253A does not dissipate
much heat due to its high efficiency. But, in applications
where the AME5253A 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 160OC, both power
switches will be turned off and the SW node will become
high impedance. To avoid the AME5253A from exceeding the maximum junction temperature, the user will need
to do some thermal analysis. The goal of the thermal
analysis is to determine whether the power dissipated
exceeds the maximum junction temperature of the part.
The temperature rise is given by:
TR = (PD )(θ JA )
Where PD is the power dissipated by the regulator and
θJA is the thermal resistance from the junction of the die
to the ambient temperature.

PC Board Layout Checklist
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of the
AME5253A. These items are also illustrated graphically in Figures 9. Check the following in your layout:
1. The power traces, consisting of the GND trace, the SW trace and the VIN trace should be kept short, direct and wide.
2. Does the VFB pin connect directly to the feedback resistors? The resistive divider R2/R1 must be connected between
the (+) plate of COUT and ground.
3. Does the (+) plate of CIN connect to VIN as closely as possible? This capacitor provides the AC current to the internal
power MOSFETs.
4. Keep the switching node, SW, away from the sensitive VFB node.
5. Keep the (-) plates of CIN and COUT as close as possible.
