ACE726 36V/1.5A Asynchronous Buck Converter Description The ACE726 is a high efficiency current‐mode asynchronous, 36V/1.5A buck converter. Its input voltage ranges from 4V to 36V and it provides an adjustable regulated output voltage from 0.80V to 8V while delivering up to 0.6A of output current. The switching frequency is set to 650KHz, which works with a inductor as small as 10uH. And the ACE726 will automatically switch between PFM and PWM mode based on the load current, thus to enhance the converter efficiency at light load. ACE726 consists of many protection blocks such as UVLO, input voltage over voltage protection to stand much higher input voltage spike, thermal protection and output short circuit protection.

It uses a PWM current‐mode control scheme. An error amplifier integrates error between the FB signal and the internal reference voltage. The output of the integrator is then compared to the sum of a current‐sense signal and the slope compensation ramp. This operation generates a PWM signal that modulates the duty cycle of the power MOSFETs to achieve regulation for output voltage. Current Limit There is a cycle‐by‐cycle current limit on the high‐side MOSFET of 2.2A (typ.) when Vin <=24V. The current limit linearly decreases when Vin increase above 24V, and finally becomes 1.2A (typ.) at Vin=36V. When the current flowing out of SW exceeds this limit, the high‐side MOSFET turns off and the external schottky diode rectifier turns on. Unlike the traditional method of current limiting by limiting the voltage at the internal compensation node, which usually has large variation due to duty cycle variance, this type of peak current limiting scheme provides a relatively more accurate limit for output current, thereby lowering the requirements for system design. Light Load Operation Traditionally, a fixed current mode constant frequency PWM DC‐DC regulator always switches even when the output load is small. When energy is shuffling back and forth through the power MOSFETs, power is lost due to the finite RDSONs of the MOSFETs and parasitic capacitances. At light load, this loss is prominent and efficiency is therefore very low. ACE726 employs a proprietary control scheme that improves efficiency in this situation by enabling the device into a power save mode during light load, thereby extending the range of high efficiency operation.

However, when output power is very large, like 5V/1.5A, the output power is as high as 7.5W, a heat dissipation path is strongly recommended to be routed on PCB. ACE726 is in SOT23-6 package. The heat is conducted out via Pin 2 (GND), so the heat dissipation route on PCB should be connected to the Pin 2 of the chip.
