DS8456-05 April 2013 RT8456 Application Information Output Voltage Setting Compensation The voltage control loop is controlled via the first transconductance operational amplifier. An optocoupler which is directly connected to the output and an external resistor bridge is connected between the output positive line and the ground reference. The middle point is to be connected to the OVP pin of the RT8456, where R2 is the upper resistor and R1 the lower resistor of the bridge. The relationship between R2 and R1 is shown below (R1 + R2 ) VOUT = VOVP x R2 ( VOUT - VOVP ) R1 = R2 x VOVP where VOUT is the desired maximum output voltage. To avoid discharge of the load, the resistor bridge R1, R2, should be highly resistive. For this type of application a total value of 100kΩ (or more) would be appropriate for the resistors R1 and R2. Both the voltage control trans conductance amplifier and the current control trans-conductance amplifier can be fully compensated. The output and negative inputs are directly accessible for external compensation components, as shown in the Typical Application Circuit. As an example, with R1 = 80kΩ and R2 = 20kΩ, VOUT = 12.5V Output Current Setting The current control loop is controlled via the second transconductance operational amplifier. An optocoupler and the sense resistor, RSENSE, is placed in series on the output negative line. VCN−CP threshold is achieved externally by a resistor bridge tied to the reference voltage, VREF. Its middle point is tied to the positive input of the current control operational amplifier and its foot is connected to the lower potential point of the sense resistor. The resistors of the bridge are matched to provide the best precision. With VCN−CP and RSENSE, the expected output current, IOUT, can be obtained as below equation : IOUT V = CN−CP RSENSE where IOUT is the desired maximum output current, and VCN−CP the threshold voltage for the current control loop. Note that the sense resistor, RSENSE, should be chosen taking into account its maximum power dissipation (PLIM) during full load operation. Copyright © 2013 Richtek Technology Corporation. All rights reserved. DS8456-05 April 2013 The typical component values for the compensation network of voltage control loop is CVC1 = 2.2nF and RVC1 = 22kΩ. The typical component values for the compensation network of current control loop is CIC1 = 2.2nF, RIC1 = 22kΩ and RCN = 1kΩ. However, in many application conditions, the current control loop can be stable without compensation network (RCN = 0, no CIC1 nor RIC1). When the voltage control loop is used as the voltage limit protection or the current control loop is used as the current limit protection, no compensation network is needed for the protecting control loop. A resister, ROPT, must be connected in series with the opto-coupler since it is part of the compensation network. Although the value of ROPT is not critical, it's recommended to be in the range from 0.33kΩ to (VOUT − 2) / (0.005)Ω. Thermal Considerations For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute maximum junction temperature. The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and difference between junction and ambient temperature. The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the following formula : PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. is a registered trademark of Richtek Technology Corporation. www.richtek.com 5 RT8456 For recommended operating condition specifications, the maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For SOT-23-6 packages, the thermal resistance, θJA, is 250°C/ W on a standard JEDEC 51-3 single-layer thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by the following formula : P D(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (250°C/W) = 0.4W for SOT-23-6 package Layout Consideration For the best performance of the RT8456, the following PCB Layout guidelines must be strictly followed. ` Place the RSENSE resistor as close to the IC as possible. ` Keep the input/output traces as wide and short as possible. Secondary side winding D1 VOUT Maximum Power Dissipation (W)1 The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 1 allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature on the maximum power dissipation.
