AOZ1037
Detailed Description
The AOZ1037 is a current-mode step down regulator with
integrated high-side PMOS switch and a low-side NMOS
switch. It operates from a 4.5V to 18V input voltage range
and supplies up to 5A of load current. Features include
enable control, Power-On Reset, input under voltage
lockout, output over voltage protection, active high power
good state, fixed internal soft-start and thermal shut
down.
The AOZ1037 is available in exposed pad SO-8
package.
Enable and Soft Start
The AOZ1037 has an internal soft start feature to limit
in-rush current and ensure the output voltage ramps up
smoothly to regulation voltage. A soft start process
begins when the input voltage rises to 4.1V and voltage
on EN pin is HIGH. In the soft start process, the output
voltage is typically ramped to regulation voltage in 3ms.
The 3ms soft start time is set internally.
The EN pin of the AOZ1037 is active HIGH. Connect the
EN pin to VIN if the enable function is not used. Pulling
EN to ground will disable the AOZ1037. Do not leave it
open. The voltage on the EN pin must be above 2V to
enable the AOZ1037. When voltage on the EN pin falls
below 0.6V, the AOZ1037 is disabled. If an application
circuit requires the AOZ1037 to be disabled, an open
drain or open collector circuit should be used to interface
to the EN pin.
Power Good
The output of Power-Good is an open drain N-channel
MOSFET, which supplies an active high power good
stage. A pull-up resistor (R3) should connect this pin to a
DC poer trail with maximum voltage no higher than 6V.
The AOZ1037 monitors the FB voltage: when FB pin
voltage is lower than 90% of the normal voltage, Nchannel MOSFET turns on and the Power-Good pin is
pulled low, which indicates the power is abnormal.
voltage, which shows on the COMP pin, is compared
against the current signal, which is sum of inductor
current signal and ramp compensation signal, at the
PWM comparator input. If the current signal is less than
the error voltage, the internal high-side switch is on. The
inductor current flows from the input through the inductor
to the output. When the current signal exceeds the error
voltage, the high-side switch is off. The inductor current
is freewheeling through the internal low-side N-MOSFET
switch to output. The internal adaptive FET driver
guarantees no turn on overlap of both high-side and
low-side switch.
Comparing with regulators using freewheeling Schottky
diodes, the AOZ1037 uses freewheeling NMOSFET to
realize synchronous rectification. It greatly improves the
converter efficiency and reduces power loss in the
low-side switch.
The AOZ1037 uses a P-Channel MOSFET as the highside switch. It saves the bootstrap capacitor normally
seen in a circuit which is using an NMOS switch.
Switching Frequency
The AOZ1037 switching frequency is fixed and set by an
internal oscillator. The practical switching frequency
could range from 400 kHz to 600 kHz due to device
variation.
Light Load Mode
The AOZ1037 includes is a Pulse-Skip architecture for
Light Load operation, enabling increased efficiency
during standby. Under Heavy Loads, the controller
operates in a standard Synchronous Mode using the
high-side PMOS as control FET and low-side NMOS as
synchronous rectifier NMOS. During Light Loads, the
controller automatically switches to a Non-Synchronous
mode using the high-side PMOS as control FET and the
integrated diode as freewheeling rectifier diode.
Output Voltage Programming
Steady-State Operation
Under steady-state conditions, the converter operates in
fixed frequency and Continuous-Conduction Mode
(CCM).
The AOZ1037 integrates an internal P-MOSFET as the
high-side switch. Inductor current is sensed by amplifying
the voltage drop across the drain to source of the high
side power MOSFET. Output voltage is divided down by
the external voltage divider at the FB pin. The difference
of the FB pin voltage and reference is amplified by the
internal transconductance error amplifier. The error
Rev. 1.1 September 2010
Output voltage can be set by feeding back the output to
the FB pin by using a resistor divider network. In the
application circuit shown in Figure 1, the resistor divider
network includes R1 and R2. Usually, a design is started
by picking a fixed R2 value and calculating the required
R1 with equation below:

Some standard value of R1, R2 and most used output
voltage values are listed in Table 1.
Table 1.
Thermal Protection
An internal temperature sensor monitors the junction
temperature. It shuts down the internal control circuit and
high side PMOS if the junction temperature exceeds
150°C. The regulator will restart automatically under the
control of soft-start circuit when the junction temperature
decreases to 100°C.

The input capacitor must be connected to the VIN pin and
PGND pin of AOZ1037 to maintain steady input voltage
and filter out the pulsing input current. The voltage rating
of input capacitor must be greater than maximum input
voltage plus ripple voltage.
Application Information
The combination of R1 and R2 should be large enough to
avoid drawing excessive current from the output, which
will cause power loss.
Protection Features
The AOZ1037 has multiple protection features to prevent
system circuit damage under abnormal conditions.
Over Current Protection (OCP)
The sensed inductor current signal is also used for over
current protection. Since the AOZ1037 employs peak
current mode control, the COMP pin voltage is
proportional to the peak inductor current. The COMP pin
voltage is limited to be between 0.4V and 2.5V internally.
The peak inductor current is automatically limited cycle
by cycle.
When the output is shorted to ground under fault
conditions, the inductor current decays very slow during
a switching cycle because of VO = 0V. To prevent
catastrophic failure, a secondary current limit is designed
inside the AOZ1037. The measured inductor current is
compared against a preset voltage which represents the
current limit. When the output current is more than
current limit, the high side switch will be turned off and
EN pin will be pulled down. The converter will initiate a
soft start once the over-current condition disappears.
Power-On Reset (POR)
A power-on reset circuit monitors the input voltage. When
the input voltage exceeds 4.1V, the converter starts
operation. When input voltage falls below 3.7V, the
converter will be shut down.
Rev. 1.1 September 2010
The input ripple voltage can be approximated by
equation below:
VO ⎞ VO
IO
⎛
ΔV IN = ----------------- × ⎜ 1 – ---------⎟ × --------f × C IN ⎝
V IN⎠ V IN
Since the input current is discontinuous in a buck
converter, the current stress on the input capacitor is
another concern when selecting the capacitor. For a buck
circuit, the RMS value of input capacitor current can be
calculated by:

The relationship between the input capacitor RMS
current and voltage conversion ratio is calculated and
shown in Figure 2 below. It can be seen that when VO is
half of VIN, CIN is under the worst current stress. The
worst current stress on CIN is 0.5 x IO.

Output Capacitor
Figure 2. ICIN vs. Voltage Conversion Ratio
For reliable operation and best performance, the input
capacitors must have current rating higher than ICIN_RMS
at worst operating conditions. Ceramic capacitors are
preferred for input capacitors because of their low ESR
and high current rating. Depending on the application
circuits, other low ESR tantalum capacitor may also be
used. When selecting ceramic capacitors, X5R or X7R
type dielectric ceramic capacitors should be used for
their better temperature and voltage characteristics.
Note that the ripple current rating from capacitor
manufactures are based on certain amount of life time.
Further de-rating may be necessary in practical design.
Inductor
The inductor is used to supply constant current to output
when it is driven by a switching voltage. For given input
and output voltage, inductance and switching frequency
together decide the inductor ripple current, which is:
The output capacitor is selected based on the DC output
voltage rating, output ripple voltage specification and
ripple current rating.
The selected output capacitor must have a higher rated
voltage specification than the maximum desired output
voltage including ripple. De-rating needs to be
considered for long term reliability.
Output ripple voltage specification is another important
factor for selecting the output capacitor. In a buck
converter circuit, output ripple voltage is determined by
inductor value, switching frequency, output capacitor
value and ESR. It can be calculated by the equation
below:
1
ΔV O = ΔI L × ⎛ ESR CO + -------------------------⎞
⎝
8×f×C ⎠

where,
CO is output capacitor value, and
ESRCO is the equivalent series resistance of the output
capacitor.
VO ⎛
VO ⎞
-⎟
ΔI L = ----------- × ⎜ 1 – -------f×L ⎝
V IN⎠
When low ESR ceramic capacitor is used as output
capacitor, the impedance of the capacitor at the switching
frequency dominates. Output ripple is mainly caused by
capacitor value and inductor ripple current. The output
ripple voltage calculation can be simplified to:
The peak inductor current is:
ΔI L
I Lpeak = I O + -------2
High inductance gives low inductor ripple current but
requires larger size inductor to avoid saturation. Low
ripple current reduces inductor core losses. It also
reduces RMS current through inductor and switches,
which results in less conduction loss. Usually, peak to
peak ripple current on inductor is designed to be 20%
to 30% of output current.
Rev. 1.1 September 2010
Surface mount inductors in different shape and styles are
available from Coilcraft, Elytone and Murata. Shielded
inductors are small and radiate less EMI noise. But they
cost more than unshielded inductors. The choice
depends on EMI requirement, price and size.

ΔV O = ΔI L × ------------------------8×f×C
O
If the impedance of ESR at switching frequency
dominates, the output ripple voltage is mainly decided by
capacitor ESR and inductor ripple current. The output
ripple voltage calculation can be further simplified to:
ΔV O = ΔI L × ESR CO

For lower output ripple voltage across the entire
operating temperature range, X5R or X7R dielectric type
of ceramic, or other low ESR tantalum are recommended
to be used as output capacitors.
network can be used for the AOZ1037. For most cases, a
series capacitor and resistor network connected to the
COMP pin sets the pole-zero and is adequate for a stable
high-bandwidth control loop.
In a buck converter, output capacitor current is
continuous. The RMS current of output capacitor is
decided by the peak to peak inductor ripple current. It
can be calculated by:
In the AOZ1037, FB pin and COMP pin are the inverting
input and the output of internal error amplifier. A series
R and C compensation network connected to COMP
provides one pole and one zero. The pole is:
ΔI L
I CO_RMS = ---------12
G EA
f P2 = -----------------------------------------2π × C 2 × G VEA
Usually, the ripple current rating of the output capacitor is
a smaller issue because of the low current stress. When
the buck inductor is selected to be very small and
inductor ripple current is high, output capacitor could be
overstressed.
External Schottky Diode for High Input Operation
When VIN is higher than 16V, an external 1A schottky
diode is required between LX and PGND for proper
operation.
Loop Compensation
The AOZ1037 employs peak current mode control for
easy use and fast transient response. Peak current mode
control eliminates the double pole effect of the output
L&C filter. It greatly simplifies the compensation loop
design.
With peak current mode control, the buck power stage
can be simplified to be a one-pole and one-zero system
in frequency domain. The pole is dominant pole can be
calculated by:
1
f P1 = ----------------------------------2π × C O × R L
The zero is a ESR zero due to output capacitor and its
ESR. It is can be calculated by:
GEA is the error amplifier transconductance, which is 200 x 10-6
A/V,
GVEA is the error amplifier voltage gain, which is 500 V/V, and
C2 is the compensation capacitor in Figure 1.
The zero given by the external compensation network,
capacitor C2 and resistor R3, is located at:
1
f Z2 = ---------------------------------2π × C 2 × R 3
To design the compensation circuit, a target crossover
frequency fC for close loop must be selected. The system
crossover frequency is where control loop has unity gain.
The crossover is the also called the converter bandwidth.
Generally a higher bandwidth means faster response to
load transient. However, the bandwidth should not be too
high because of system stability concern. When
designing the compensation loop, converter stability
under all line and load condition must be considered.
Usually, it is recommended to set the bandwidth to be
equal or less than 1/10 of switching frequency. The
AOZ1037 operates at a frequency range from 400kHz to
600kHz. It is recommended to choose a crossover
frequency equal or less than 40kHz.
f C = 40kHz

f Z1 = -----------------------------------------------2π × C O × ESR CO
The strategy for choosing RC and CC is to set the cross

with CC. Using selected crossover frequency, fC, to
calculate RC:
RL is load resistor value, and
ESRCO is the equivalent series resistance of output capacitor.
The compensation design is actually to shape the
converter control loop transfer function to get desired
gain and phase. Several different types of compensation

The above equation can be simplified to:
The actual junction temperature can be calculated with
power dissipation in the AOZ1037 and thermal
impedance from junction to ambient.
T junction = ( P total_loss – P inductor_loss ) × Θ JA
The maximum junction temperature of AOZ1037 is
150°C, which limits the maximum load current capability.
Please see the thermal de-rating curves for maximum
load current of the AOZ1037 under different ambient
temperature.
The thermal performance of the AOZ1037 is strongly
affected by the PCB layout. Extra care should be taken
by users during design process to ensure that the IC
will operate under the recommended environmental
conditions.

Thermal Management and Layout
Consideration
In the AOZ1037 buck regulator circuit, high pulsing
current flows through two circuit loops. The first loop
starts from the input capacitors, to the VIN pin, to the LX
pins, to the filter inductor, to the output capacitor and
load, and then return to the input capacitor through
ground. Current flows in the first loop when the high side
switch is on. The second loop starts from inductor, to the
output capacitors and load, to the low-side NMOSFET.
Current flows in the second loop when the low-side
NMOSFET is on.
In PCB layout, minimizing the two loops area reduces the
noise of this circuit and improves efficiency. A ground
plane is strongly recommended to connect input
capacitor, output capacitor, and PGND pin of the
AOZ1037.
In the AOZ1037 buck regulator circuit, the major power
dissipating components are the AOZ1037 and the output
inductor. The total power dissipation of converter circuit
can be measured by input power minus output power.
The AOZ1037 is an exposed pad SO-8 package. Layout
tips are listed below for the best electric and thermal
performance.
1. The exposed pad LX pins are connected to internal
PFET and NFET drains. Connect a large copper
plane to the LX pins to help thermal dissipation.
2. Do not use thermal relief connection to the VIN
and the PGND pin. Pour a maximized copper area
to the PGND pin and the VIN pin to help thermal
dissipation.
3. Input capacitor should be connected as close as
possible to the VIN pin and the PGND pin to reduce
the LX voltage over-shoot. This is especially important for VIN >16V.
4. A ground plane is suggested. If a ground plane is
not used, separate PGND from AGND and connect
them only at one point to avoid the PGND pin noise
coupling to the AGND pin.
5. Make the current trace from the LX pins to L to CO to
the PGND as short as possible.
6. Pour copper plane on all unused board area and
connect it to stable DC nodes, like VIN, GND or VOUT.
