Figure 25. AAT1110 Functional Block Diagram
Functional Description
The AAT1110 is a high performance 800 mA, 1.4 MHz
monolithic step-down converter. It has been designed with the
goal of minimizing external component size and optimizing
efficiency over the complete load range. Apart from the small
bypass input capacitor, only a small L-C filter is required at the
output. Typically, a 4.7 H inductor and a 10 F ceramic
capacitor are recommended..
A functional block diagram is shown in Figure 25.
The fixed output version requires only three external power
components (CIN, COUT, and L). The adjustable version can be
programmed with external feedback to any voltage, ranging
from 0.6 V to the input voltage. An additional feed-forward
capacitor (C4) can also be added to the external feedback to
provide improved transient response (see Figure 26).
At dropout, the converter duty cycle increases to 100% and the
output voltage tracks the input voltage minus the RDSON drop of
the P-channel high-side MOSFET.
The input voltage range is 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The converter
efficiency has been optimized for all load conditions, ranging
from no load to 800 mA.
The internal error amplifier and compensation provides
excellent transient response, load, and line regulation. Soft start
eliminates any output voltage overshoot when the enable is
applied.
Control Loop
The AAT1110 is a peak current mode step-down converter. The
current through the P-channel MOSFET (high side) is sensed for
current loop control, as well as short circuit and overload
protection. A fixed slope compensation signal is added to the
sensed current to maintain stability for duty cycles greater than
50%. The peak current mode loop appears as a voltageprogrammed current source in parallel with the output capacitor.
The output of the voltage error amplifier programs the current
mode loop for the necessary peak switch current to force a
constant output voltage for all load and line conditions. Internal
loop compensation terminates the transconductance voltage
error amplifier output. For fixed voltage versions, the error
amplifier reference voltage is internally set to program the
converter output voltage. For the adjustable output, the error
amplifier reference is fixed at 0.6 V.

The step-down converter uses peak current mode control with
slope compensation to maintain stability for duty cycles greater
than 50%. The output inductor value must be selected so the
inductor current down slope meets the internal slope
compensation requirements. The internal slope compensation
for the adjustable and low-voltage fixed versions of the
AAT1110 is 0.24 A/s. This equates to a slope compensation
that is 75% of the inductor current down slope for a 1.5 V
output and 4.7 H inductor.

Soft Start/Enable
In this case, a standard 6.8 H value is selected.
Soft start limits the current surge seen at the input and
eliminates output voltage overshoot. When pulled low, the
enable input forces the AAT1110 into a low power, nonswitching state. The total input current during shutdown is less
than 1 A.
For high-voltage fixed versions ( 2.5 V), m = 0.48 A/s.
Current Limit and Over-Temperature Protection
For overload conditions, the peak input current is limited. To
minimize power dissipation under current limit and short-circuit
conditions, switching is terminated after entering current limit
for a series of pulses. Switching is terminated for seven
consecutive clock cycles after a current limit has been sensed
for a series of four consecutive clock cycles.
Thermal protection completely disables switching when internal
dissipation becomes excessive. The junction over-temperature
threshold is 140 °C with 15 °C of hysteresis. Once an overtemperature or over-current fault conditions is removed, the
output voltage automatically recovers.
Under-Voltage Lockout
Internal bias of all circuits is controlled via the VIN input. Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) guarantees sufficient VIN bias and proper
operation of all internal circuitry prior to activation.
Manufacturer’s specifications list both the inductor DC current
rating, which is a thermal limitation, and the peak current rating,
which is determined by the saturation characteristics. The
inductor should not show any appreciable saturation under
normal load conditions. Some inductors may meet the peak and
average current ratings yet result in excessive losses due to a
high DCR. Always consider the losses associated with the DCR
and its effect on the total converter efficiency when selecting an
inductor.
Input Capacitor
Select a 4.7 F to 22 F X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor for the
input. To estimate the required input capacitor size, determine
the acceptable input ripple level (VPP) and solve for C. The
calculated value varies with input voltage and is a maximum
when VIN is double the output voltage.

Always examine the ceramic capacitor DC voltage coefficient

ripple and input capacitor RMS current equations and is a
maximum when VOUT is twice VIN. This is why the input voltage
ripple and the input capacitor RMS current ripple are a
maximum at 50% duty cycle.
The input capacitor provides a low impedance loop for the
edges of pulsed current drawn by the AAT1110. Low ESR/ESL
X7R and X5R ceramic capacitors are ideal for this function. To
minimize stray inductance, the capacitor should be placed as
closely as possible to the IC. This keeps the high frequency
content of the input current localized, minimizing EMI and input
voltage ripple.
The proper placement of the input capacitor (C2) can be seen in
the evaluation board layout in Figure 28.
A laboratory test setup typically consists of two long wires
running from the bench power supply to the evaluation board
input voltage pins. The inductance of these wires, along with
the low-ESR ceramic input capacitor, can create a high-Q
network that may affect converter performance. This problem
often becomes apparent in the form of excessive ringing in the
output voltage during load transients. Errors in the loop phase
and gain measurements can also result.
In applications where the input power source lead inductance
cannot be reduced to a level that does not affect the converter
performance, a high ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytic
should be placed in parallel with the low ESR, ESL bypass
ceramic. This dampens the high-Q network and stabilizes the
system.
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor limits the output ripple and provides
holdup during large load transitions. A 4.7 F to 10 F X5R or
X7R ceramic capacitor typically provides sufficient bulk
capacitance to stabilize the output during large load transitions
and has the ESR and ESL characteristics necessary for low
output ripple.
The output voltage droop due to a load transient (ILOAD) is
dominated by the capacitance of the ceramic output capacitor.
During a step increase in load current, the ceramic output
capacitor alone supplies the load current until the loop
responds. Within two or three switching cycles, the loop
responds and the inductor current increases to match the load
current demand. The relationship of the output voltage droop
during the three switching cycles to the output capacitance can
be estimated by:
COUT 
3  I LOAD
VDROOP  f S
Once the average inductor current increases to the DC load
level, the output voltage recovers. The above equation
establishes a limit on the minimum value for the output
capacitor with respect to load transients.
The internal voltage loop compensation also limits the minimum
output capacitor value to 4.7 F. This is due to its effect on the
loop crossover frequency (bandwidth), phase margin, and gain
margin. Increased output capacitance reduces the crossover
frequency with greater phase margin.
The maximum output capacitor RMS ripple current is given by:
I RMS（MAX） 
1
2 3

VOUT  VIN ( MAX )  VOUT 
L  f S  VIN ( MAX )
Dissipation due to the RMS current in the ceramic output
capacitor ESR is typically minimal, resulting in less than a few
degrees rise in hot-spot temperature.
Because the inductance of a short PCB trace feeding the input
voltage is significantly lower than the power leads from the
bench power supply, most applications do not exhibit this
problem.

Adjustable Output Resistor Selection
For applications requiring an adjustable output voltage, the
0.6 V version can be externally programmed. Resistors R1 and
R2 of Figure 28 program the output to regulate at a voltage
higher than 0.6 V. To limit the bias current required for the
external feedback resistor string while maintaining good noise
immunity, the minimum suggested value for R2 is 59 k.
Although a larger value can further reduce quiescent current, it
also increases the impedance of the feedback node, making it
more sensitive to external noise and interference. Table 4
summarizes the resistor values for various output voltages with
R2 set to either 59 k for good noise immunity or 221 k for
reduced no-load input current.

The adjustable version of the AAT1110, combined with an
external feed-forward capacitor (C4 in Figure 26), delivers
enhanced transient response for extreme pulsed load
applications. Addition of the feed-forward capacitor typically
requires a larger output capacitor C1 for stability.

Thermal Calculations
There are three types of losses associated with the AAT1110
step-down converter: switching losses, conduction losses, and
quiescent current losses. Conduction losses are associated with
the RDS(ON) characteristics of the power output switching
devices. Switching losses are dominated by the gate charge of
the power output switching devices. At full load, assuming
continuous conduction mode (CCM), a simplified form of the
losses is given by:
PTOTAL 

I OUT
 RDS ( ON ) H  VOUT  RDS ( ON ) L  VIN  VOUT 
VIN
 t SW  f S  I OUT  I Q   VIN
IQ is the step-down converter quiescent current. The term tSW is
used to estimate the full load step-down converter switching
losses.
For the condition where the step-down converter is in dropout
at 100% duty cycle, the total device dissipation reduces to:
2
PTOTAL  I OUT
 RDS ( ON ) H  I Q  VIN
Since RDS(ON), quiescent current, and switching losses all vary
with input voltage, the total losses should be investigated over
the complete input voltage range.
Given the total losses, the maximum junction temperature can
be derived from the JA for the SC70JW-8 package which is
160 °C/W.
TJ(MAX)  PTOTAL   JA  TA
Layout
The following guidelines should be used to help ensure a proper
layout.
 The input capacitor (C2) should connect as closely as possible
to VIN (Pin 3) and PGND (Pins 6-8).
 C1 and L1 should be connected as closely as possible. The
connection of L1 to the LX pin should be as short as
possible.
 The feedback trace or OUT pin (Pin 2) should be separate
from any power trace and connect as closely as possible to
the load point. Sensing along a high-current load trace
degrades DC load regulation. If external feedback resistors
are used, they should be placed as closely as possible to
the OUT pin (Pin 2) to minimize the length of the high
impedance feedback trace.
 The resistance of the trace from the load return to the PGND
(Pins 6-8) should be kept to a minimum. This helps
minimize any error in DC regulation due to differences in
the potential of the internal signal ground and the power
ground.
