Current Mode It uses the current waveform from the switching (Q1) as a control waveform to control the output voltage, as described below: 1 : The clock (CK) from the internal clock generator (OSC) sets RS-FF and turns on the high-side FET. 2 : Turning on the high-side FET causes the inductor current (IL) rise. Generate Vs that converts this current into the voltage. 3 : The current comparator (I Comp.) compares this Vs with the output (COMP) from the error amplifier (Error Amp) that is negative-feedback from the output voltage (Vo). 4 : When I Comp. detects that Vs exceeds COMP, it resets RS-FF and turns off high-side FET. 5 : The clock (CK) from the clock generator (OSC) turns on the high-side FET again. Thus, switching is repeated. Operate so that the FB electrical potential may become INTREF electrical potential, and stabilize the output voltage as a feedback control.

The voltage is used as the reference voltage for the IC's internal circuit. The reference voltage can be used to supply a load current of up to 100 μA to an external device through the VREF pin. (2) Bias Voltage Block (VB Reg.) Bias Voltage Block (VB Reg.) generates the reference voltage used for IC’s internal circuit, using the voltage supplied from the VCC pin. The reference voltage is a temperature-compensated stable voltage (5 [V] Typ) to supply a current of up to 100 mA through the VB pin. (3) Under Voltage Lockout Protection Circuit Block (UVLO) The circuit protects against IC malfunction and system destruction/deterioration in a transitional state or a momentary drop when a bias voltage (VB) or an internal reference voltage (VREF) starts. It detects a voltage drop at the VB pin or the VREF pin and stops IC operation. When voltages at the VB pin and the VREF pin exceed the threshold voltage of the under voltage lockout protection circuit, the system is restored. (4) Soft-start/Soft-stop Block (Soft-Start, Soft-Stop) Soft-start It protects a rush current or an output voltage (VOx) from overshooting at the output start. Since the lamp voltage generated by charging the capacitor connecting to the CSx pin is used for the reference voltage of the error amplifier (Error Amp), it can set the soft-start time independent of a load of the output (VOx). When the IC starts with “H” level of the CTLx pin, the capacitor at the CSx pin (CS) starts to be charged at 5.5 μA. The output voltage (VOx) during the soft-start period rises in proportion to the voltage at the CSx pin generated by charging the capacitor at the CSx pin. During the soft-start with 0.8 V > voltage at CS1 and CS2 pins, operations are as follows: • Fixed PWM operation only (fixed PWM even if MODE pin is set to “L”) • Over-voltage protection function and under-voltage protection function are invalid. Soft-stop It discharges electrical charges stored in a smoothing capacitor at output stop. Setting the CTLx pin to “L” level starts the soft-stop function independent of a load of output (Vox). Since the capacitor connecting to the CSx pin starts to discharge through the IC-built-in soft-stop discharging resistance (70 [kΩ] Typ) when the CTLx pin sets at “L” level enters its lamp voltage into the error amplifier (Error Amp), the soft-stop time can be set independent of a load of output (VOx). When discharging causes the voltage at the CSx pin to drop below 100 mV (Typ), the IC shuts down and changes to the stand-by state. In addition, the soft-stop function operates after the under-voltage protection circuit block (UVP Comp.) is latched or after the overtemperature protection circuit block (OTP) detects over-temperature. During the soft-stop with, 0.8 V > voltage at CS1 and CS2 pins, operations are as follows: • Fixed PWM operation only (fixed PWM even if MODE pin is set to “L”) • Over-voltage protection function and under-voltage protection function are invalid. (5) Clock Generator Block (OSC) The clock generator has the built-in oscillation frequency setting capacitor and generates a clock that 180°phase shifted from each channel by connecting the oscillation frequency setting resistor to the RT pin (Symmetrical-Phase method). 14 DS04-27262-4E MB39A136 (6-1) Error Amp Block (Error Amp1, Error Amp2) The error amplifiers (Error Amp1 and Error Amp2) detect the output voltage from the DC/DC converter and output to the current comparators (I Comp.1 and I Comp.2). The output voltage setting resistor externally connected to FB1 and FB2 pins allows an arbitrary output voltage to be set. In addition, since an external resistor and an external capacitor serially connected between COMP1 and FB1 pins and between COMP2 and FB2 pins allow an arbitrary loop gain to be set, it is possible for the system to compensate a phase stably. (6-2) Over Current Detection (Protection) Block (ILIM) It is the current detection circuit to restrict an output current (IOX). The over current detection block (ILIM) compares an output waveform of the level converter of each channel (see “(12) Level Converter Block (LVCNV)”) with the ILIMx pin voltage in every cycle. As a load resistance (ROX) drops, a load current (IOX) increases. Therefore, the output waveform of the level converter exceeds the ILIM pin voltage of each channel. At this time, the output current can be restricted by turning off FET on the high-side and suppressing a peak value of the inductor current. As a result, the output voltage (VOX) should drop. Furthermore, if the output voltage drops and the electrical potential at the FBx pin drops below 0.3 V, the oscillation frequency (fOSC) drops to 1/8. (7) Over-voltage Protection Circuit Block (OVP Comp.) The circuit protects a device connecting to the output when the output voltage (VOx) rises. It compares 1.15 times (Typ) of the internal reference voltage (INTREF) (0.7 V) that is non-inverting-entered into the error amplifier with the feedback voltage that is inverting-entered into the error amplifier and if it detects the state where the latter is higher than the former by 50 μs (Typ). It stops the voltage output by setting the RS latch, setting the DRVHx pin to “L” level, setting the DRVLx pin to “H” level, turning off the high-side FETs, and turning on the low-side FETs. The conditions below cancel the protection function: • Setting CTL1 and CTL2 to “L”. • Setting the power supply voltage below the UVLO threshold voltage (VTHL1 and VTHL2). (8) Under-voltage Protection Circuit Block (UVP Comp.) It protects a device connecting to the output by stopping the output when the output voltage (VOX) drops. It compares 0.7 times (Typ) of the internal reference voltage (INTREF) (0.7 V) that is non-inverting-entered into the error amplifier with the feedback voltage that is inverting-entered into the error amplifier and if it detects the state where the latter is lower than the former by 512/fosc [s](Typ), it stops the voltage output for both channels by setting the RS latch. The conditions below cancel the protection function: • Setting CTL1 and CTL2 to “L”. • Setting the power supply voltage below the UVLO threshold voltage (VTHL1 and VTHL2). (9) Over temperature Protection Circuit Block (OTP) The circuit protects an IC from heat-destruction. If the temperature at the joint part reaches +160 °C, the circuit stops the voltage output for both channels by discharging the capacitor connecting to the CSx pin through the soft-stop discharging resistance (70 [kΩ] Typ) in the IC. In addition, if the temperature at the joint part drops to +135 °C, the output restarts again through the softstart function. Make sure to design the DC/DC power supply system so that the over temperature protection does not start frequently. DS04-27262-4E 15 MB39A136 (10) PFM Control Circuit Block (MODE) It sets the control mode of the IC and makes control at automatic PFM/PWM switching. MODE pin connection Control mode Features Automatic PFM/PWM Highly-efficient at light load switching “L” (GND) “H” (VREF) Stable oscillation frequency Stable switching ripple voltage Excellent in rapid load change characteristic at heavy load to light load Fixed PWM Automatic PFM/PWM switching mode operation It compares the LX1 pin and the LX2 pin voltages with GND electrical potential at Di Comp. In the comparison, the negative voltage at the LX pin causes the low-side FET to set on, positive voltage causes it to set off (Di Comp. method) . As a result, the method restricts the back flow of the inductor current at a light load and makes the switching of the inductor current discontinuous (DCM) . Such an operation allows the oscillation frequency to drop, resulting in high efficiency at a light load. (11) Output Block (DRV) The output circuit is configured in CMOS type for both of the high-side and the low-side, allowing the external N-ch MOS FET to drive. (12) Level Converter Block (LVCNV) The circuit detects and converts the current when the high-side FET turns on. It converts the voltage waveform between drain side (VCC pin voltage) and the source side (LX1 and LX2 pin voltage) on the high-side FET into the voltage waveform for GND reference.

Connect other GND connection pins with control system GND (AGND), and separate each GND, and try not to pass the heavy current path through the control system GND (AGND) as much as possible. In that case, connect control system GND (AGND) and switching system GND (PGND) right under IC. • Connect the switching system parts as much as possible on the surface. Avoid the connection through the through-hole as much as possible. • As for GND pins of the switching system parts, provide the through hole at the proximal place, and connect it with GND of internal layer. • Pay the most attention to the loop composed of input capacitor (CIN), SWFET, and fly-back diode (SBD). Consider making the current loop as small as possible. • Place the boot strap capacitor (CBOOT1, CBOOT2) proximal to CBx and LXx pins of IC as much as possible. • This device monitors the voltage between drain and source on high-side FET as voltage between VCC and LX pins. Place the input capacitor (CIN) and the high-side FET of each CH proximally as much as possible. Draw out the wiring to VCC pin from the proximal place to the input capacitor of CH1 and CH2. As for the net of the LXx pin, draw it out from the proximal place to the source pin on high-side FET. Moreover, a large electric current flows momentary in the net of the LXx pin. Wire the linewidth of about 0.8mm to be a standard, as short as possible. • Large electric current flows momentary in the net of DRVHx and DRVLx pins connected with the gate of SWFET. Wire the linewidth of about 0.8mm to be a standard, as short as possible. • By-pass capacitor (CVCC, CVREF, CVB) connected with VREF, VCC, and VB, and the resistor (RRT) connected with the RT pin should be placed close to the pin as much as possible. Also connect the GND pin of the by-pass capacitor with GND of internal layer in the proximal through-hole. • Consider the net connected with RT, FBx, and the COMPx pins to keep away from a Switching system parts as much as possible because it is sensitive to the noise. Moreover, place the output voltage setting resistor and the phase compensation circuit element connected with this net close to the IC as much as possible, and try to make the net as short as possible. In addition, for the internal layer right under the installing part, provide the control system GND (AGND) of few ripple and few spike noises, or provide the ground plane of the power supply voltage as much as possible.

Do not configure the IC over the maximum ratings. If the IC is used over the maximum ratings, the LSI may be permanently damaged. It is preferable for the device to be normally operated within the recommended usage conditions. Usage outside of these conditions can have an adverse effect on the reliability of the LSI. 2. Use the device within the recommended operating conditions. The recommended values guarantee the normal LSI operation under the recommended operating conditions. The electrical ratings are guaranteed when the device is used within the recommended operating conditions and under the conditions stated for each item. 3. Printed circuit board ground lines should be set up with consideration for common impedance. 4. Take appropriate measures against static electricity. • Containers for semiconductor materials should have anti-static protection or be made of conductive material. • After mounting, printed circuit boards should be stored and shipped in conductive bags or containers. • Work platforms, tools, and instruments should be properly grounded. • Working personnel should be grounded with resistance of 250 kΩ to 1 MΩ in series between body and ground. 5. Do not apply negative voltages. The use of negative voltages below − 0.3 V may make the parasitic transistor activated, and can cause malfunctions. 42 DS04-27262-4E MB39A136 ■ ORDERING INFORMATION Part number Package MB39A136PFT 24-pin plastic TSSOP (FPT-24P-M09) Remarks ■ EV BOARD ORDERING INFORMATION Part number EV board version No. Remarks MB39A136EVB-01 MB39A136EVB-01 Rev2.0 TSSOP-24 DS04-27262-4E 43 MB39A136 ■ RoHS COMPLIANCE INFORMATION OF LEAD (Pb) FREE VERSION The LSI products of FUJITSU SEMICONDUCTOR with “E1” are compliant with RoHS Directive, and has observed the standard of lead, cadmium, mercury, Hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE).
