TTH Voltage Setting External Soft-Start Capacitor External Bootstrap Diode Connect a 100nF low ESR ceramic capacitor between the BOOT pin and SW pin. This capacitor provides the gate driver voltage for the high side MOSFET. It is recommended to add an external bootstrap diode between an external 5V and BOOT pin, as shown as Figure 2, for efficiency improvement when input voltage is lower than 5.5V or duty ratio is higher than 65% .The bootstrap diode can be a low cost one such as IN4148 or BAT54. The external 5V can be a 5V fixed input from system or a 5V output (PVCC) of the RT7296E. RT7296E provides external soft-start function. The soft-start function is used to prevent large inrush current while converter is being powered-up. The soft-start timing can be programmed by the external capacitor (CSS) between SS pin and GND. The Chip provides a 11A charge current (ISS) for the external capacitor. The soft-start time (tSS, VREF is from 0V to 0.8V) can be calculated by the following formula : tSS (ms) = CSS (nF) 1.3 ISS ( A) Inductor Selection The inductor value and operating frequency determine the ripple current according to a specific input and Copyright © 2015 Richtek Technology Corporation.

The ripple current IL increases with higher VIN and decreases with higher inductance. the load transient response as described in a later section. The output ripple, VOUT, is determined by : V V IL OUT 1 OUT VIN f L 1 VOUT IL ESR 8fCOUT Having a lower ripple current reduces not only the ESR losses in the output capacitors but also the output voltage ripple. High frequency with small ripple current can achieve highest efficiency operation. However, it requires a large inductor to achieve this goal. The output ripple will be highest at the maximum input voltage since IL increases with input voltage. Multiple capacitors placed in parallel may be needed to meet the ESR and RMS current handling requirement. Dry tantalum, special polymer, aluminum electrolytic and ceramic capacitors are all available in surface mount packages. Special polymer capacitors offer very low ESR value. However, it provides lower capacitance density than other types. Although Tantalum capacitors For the ripple current selection, the value of IL = 0.3(IMAX) will be a reasonable starting point. The largest ripple current occurs at the highest VIN. To guarantee that the ripple current stays below the specified maximum, the inductor value should be chosen according to the following equation : VOUT VOUT L 1 f IL(MAX) VIN(MAX) The inductor's current rating (caused a 40C temperature rising from 25C ambient) should be greater than the maximum load current and its saturation current should be greater than the short circuit peak current limit. have the highest capacitance density, it is important to only use types that pass the surge test for use in switching power supplies. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors have significantly higher ESR. However, it can be used in cost-sensitive applications for ripple current rating and long term reliability considerations. Ceramic capacitors have excellent low ESR characteristics but can have a high voltage coefficient and audible piezoelectric effects. The high Q of ceramic capacitors with trace inductance can also lead to significant ringing. CIN and COUT Selection The input capacitance, CIN, is needed to filter the Thermal Considerations trapezoidal current at the source of the top MOSFET. To prevent large ripple current, a low ESR input 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 capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current should be used. The RMS current is given by : IRMS IOUT(MAX) VOUT VIN VIN 1 VOUT difference between junction and ambient temperature. The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the following formula : This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where IRMS = IOUT/2. This simple worst-case condition is PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) TA) / JA commonly used for design because even significant deviations do not offer much relief. where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is the ambient temperature, and JA is the junction to Choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than required. Several capacitors may also be paralleled to meet size or height requirements in the design. The selection of COUT is determined by the required Effective Series Resistance (ESR) to minimize voltage ripple. Moreover, the amount of bulk capacitance is also a key for COUT selection to ensure that the control loop is stable.

For recommended operating condition specifications, the maximum junction temperature is 125C. The junction to ambient thermal resistance, JA, is layout dependent. For TSOT-23-8 (FC) package, the thermal resistance, JA, is 70C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25C can be calculated by the is a registered trademark of Richtek Technology Corporation.
