AOZ1236QI-01 28V/6A Synchronous EZBuckTM Regulator General Description Features The AOZ1236-01 is a high-efficiency, easy-to-use DC/DC synchronous buck regulator that operates up to 28V. The device is capable of supplying 6A of continuous output current with an output voltage adjustable down to 0.8V (±1.0%). Wide input voltage range The AOZ1236-01 integrates an internal linear regulator to generate 5.3V VCC from input. If input voltage is lower than 5.3V, the linear regulator operates at low dropoutput mode, which allows the VCC voltage is equal to input voltage minus the drop-output voltage of the internal linear regulator. A proprietary constant on-time PWM control with input feed-forward results in ultra-fast transient response while maintaining relatively constant switching frequency over the entire input voltage range. The switching frequency can be externally programmed up to 1MHz. The device features multiple protection functions such as VCC under-voltage lockout, cycle-by-cycle current limit, output over-voltage protection, short-circuit protection, as well as thermal shutdown. The AOZ1236-01 is available in a 4mm x 4mm QFN-23L package and is rated over a -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range. – 2.7V to 28V 6A continuous output current Output voltage adjustable down to 0.8V (±1.0%) Low RDS(ON) internal NFETs – 35m high-side – 12m low-side SRFET™ Constant On-Time with input feed-forward Programmable frequency up to 1MHz Selectable PFM light load operation Ceramic capacitor stable Adjustable soft start Power Good output Integrated bootstrap diode Cycle-by-cycle current limit Short-circuit protection Thermal shutdown Thermally enhanced 4mm x 4mm QFN-23L package Applications Portable computers Compact desktop PCs Servers Graphics cards Set-top boxes LCD TVs Cable modems Point-of-load DC/DC converters Telecom/Networking/Datacom equipment Rev. 2.0 February 2014 www.aosmd.com Page 1 of 16 AOZ1236QI-01 Typical Application RTON C2 20μF BST C5 0.1μF VCC R3 100kΩ C4 1μF Power Good AOZ1236-01 L1 1μH FB R1 25kΩ 1% AGND R2 80kΩ 1% EN PFM SS CSS Output 1.05V, 8A LX PGOOD Off On Input 6.5V to 28V IN TON C3 88μF PGND External VCC Bias RTON TON AIN C2 20μF BST C5 0.1μF VCC 5V R3 100kΩ C4 1μF Power Good AOZ1236-01 PGOOD Off On LX L1 1μH EN R1 25kΩ 1% FB PFM SS CSS Rev. 2.0 February 2014 Input 2.7V to 28V IN AGND R2 80kΩ 1% Output 1.05V, 8A C3 88μF PGND www.aosmd.com Page 2 of 16 AOZ1236QI-01 Ordering Information Part Number Ambient Temperature Range Package Environmental AOZ1236QI-01 -40°C to +85°C 23-Pin 4mm x 4mm QFN Green Product AOS Green Products use reduced levels of Halogens, and are also RoHS compliant.

The regulator is capable of supplying 6A of continuous output current with an output voltage adjustable down to 0.8V. The programmable operating frequency range of 200kHz to 1MHz enables optimizing the configuration for PCB area and efficiency. The input voltage of AOZ1236-01 can be as low as 2.7V. The highest input voltage of AOZ1236-01 can be 28V. Constant on-time PWM with input feed-forward control scheme results in ultra-fast transient response while maintaining relatively constant switching frequency over the entire input range. True AC current mode control scheme guarantees the regulator can be stable with a ceramic output capacitor. The switching frequency can be externally programmed up to 1MHz. Protection features include VCC under-voltage lockout, valley current limit, output over voltage and under voltage protection, short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. The AOZ1236-01 is available in 23-pin 4mm x 4mm QFN package. Input Power Architecture The AOZ1236-01 integrates an internal linear regulator to generate 5.3V (±5%) VCC from input. If input voltage is lower than 5.3V, the linear regulator operates at low drop-output mode; the VCC voltage is equal to input voltage minus the drop-output voltage of internal linear regulator. Enable and Soft Start The AOZ1236-01 has external 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 VCC rises to 4.1V and voltage on EN pin is HIGH. An internal current source charges the external soft-start capacitor; the FB voltage follows the voltage of soft-start pin (VSS) when it is lower than 0.8V. When VSS is higher than 0.8V, the FB voltage is regulated by internal precise band-gap voltage (0.8V). The soft-start time can be calculated by the following formula: TSS(s) = 330 x CSS(nF) Constant-On-Time PWM Control with Input Feed-Forward The control algorithm of AOZ1236-01 is constant-on-time PWM Control with input feed-forward. The simplified control schematic is shown in Figure 1. IN PWM – Programmable One-Shot FB Voltage/ AC Current Information Comp + 0.8V Figure 1. Simplified Control Schematic of AOZ1236-01 The high-side switch on-time is determined solely by a one-shot whose pulse width can be programmed by one external resistor and is inversely proportional to input voltage (IN). The one-shot is triggered when the internal 0.8V is lower than the combined information of FB voltage and the AC current information of inductor, which is processed and obtained through the sensed lower-side MOSFET current once it turns on. The added AC current information can help the stability of constant-on time control even with pure ceramic output capacitors, which have very low ESR. The AC current information has no DC offset, which does not cause offset with output load change, which is fundamentally different from other V2 constant-on time control schemes. The constant-on-time PWM control architecture is a pseudo-fixed frequency with input voltage feed-forward. The internal circuit of AOZ1236-01 sets the on-time of high-side switch inversely proportional to the IN. – 12 26.3 10 R TON T ON = ---------------------------------------------------------------V IN V (1) To achieve the flux balance of inductor, the buck converter has the equation: V OUT F SW = --------------------------V IN T ON (2) If CSS is 1nF, the soft-start time will be 330µs; if CSS is 10nF, the soft-start time will be 3.3ms. Rev. 2.0 February 2014 www.aosmd.com Page 9 of 16 AOZ1236QI-01 Once the product of VIN x TON is constant, the switching frequency keeps constant and is independent with input voltage. An external resistor between the IN and TON pin sets the switching frequency according to the following equation: 12 V OUT 10 F SW = --------------------------------26.3 R TON characteristic and maximum load capability are a function of the inductor value as well as input and output voltages. The current limit will keep the low-side MOSFET ON and will not allow another high-side ontime, until the current in the low-side MOSFET reduces below the current limit. Figure 2 shows the inductor current during the current limit. (3) A further simplified equation will be: 38000 V OUT V F SW kHz = ----------------------------------------------R TON k Inductor Current (4) Ilim Time If VOUT is 1.8V, RTON is 137k, the switching frequency will be 500kHz. This algorithm results in a nearly constant switching frequency despite the lack of a fixed-frequency clock generator. Figure 2. Inductor Current After 128s (typical), the AOZ1236-01 considers this is a true failed condition and therefore, turns-off both highside and low-side MOSFETs and latches off. When triggered, only the enable can restart the AOZ1236-01 again. True Current Mode Control The constant-on-time control scheme is intrinsically unstable if output capacitor’s ESR is not large enough as an effective current-sense resistor. Ceramic capacitors usually cannot be used as output capacitor. The AOZ1236-01 senses the low-side MOSFET current and processes it into DC and AC current information using AOS proprietary technique. The AC current information is decoded and added on the FB pin on phase. With AC current information, the stability of constant-on-time control is significantly improved even without the help of output capacitor’s ESR, and thus the pure ceramic capacitor solution can be applicable. The pure ceramic capacitor solution can significantly reduce the output ripple (no ESR caused overshoot and undershoot) and less board area design. Valley Current-Limit Protection The AOZ1236-01 uses the valley current-limit protection by using RDSON of the lower MOSFET current sensing. To detect real current information, a minimum constantoff (150ns typical) is implemented after a constant-on time. If the current exceeds the valley current-limit threshold, the PWM controller is not allowed to initiate a new cycle. The actual peak current is greater than the valley current-limit threshold by an amount equal to the inductor ripple current. Therefore, the exact current-limit Rev. 2.0 February 2014 Output Voltage Under-Voltage Protection If the output voltage is lower than 15% by over-current or short circuit, the AOZ1236-01 will wait for 128s (typical) and turns-off both high-side and low-side MOSFETs and latches off. When triggered, only the enable can restart the AOZ1236-01 again. Output Voltage Over-Voltage Protection The threshold of OVP is set 15% higher than 800mV. When the VFB voltage exceeds the OVP threshold, highside MOSFET is turned-off and low-side MOSFETs is turned-on until VFB voltage is lower than 800mV. Power Good Output The power good (PGOOD) output, which is an open drain output, requires the pull-up resistor. When the output voltage is 15% below than the nominal regulation voltage for 50s (typical), the PGOOD is pulled low. When the output voltage is 15% higher than the nominal regulation voltage, the PGOOD is also pulled low. When combined with the under-voltage-protection circuit, this current limit method is effective in almost every circumstance. In forced-PWM mode, the AOZ1236-01 also implements a negative current limit to prevent excessive reverse inductor currents when VOUT is sinking current. www.aosmd.com Page 10 of 16 AOZ1236QI-01 Application Information The basic AOZ1236-01 application circuit is shown in page 2. Component selection is explained below. Input Capacitor The input capacitor must be connected to the IN pins and PGND pin of the AOZ1236-01 to maintain steady input voltage and filter out the pulsing input current. A small decoupling capacitor, usually 1F, should be connected to the VCC pin and AGND pin for stable operation of the AOZ1236-01. The voltage rating of input capacitor must be greater than maximum input voltage plus ripple voltage. The input ripple voltage can be approximated by equation below: 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: VO VO IO V IN = ----------------- 1 – --------- --------V IN V IN f C 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: VO VO I CIN_RMS = I O --------- 1 – --------- V IN V IN VO VO I L = ----------- 1 – --------- V IN fL The peak inductor current is: I L I Lpeak = I O + -------2 if let m equal the conversion ratio: VO -------- = m V IN The relation between the input capacitor RMS current and voltage conversion ratio is calculated and shown in Figure 3. It can be seen that when VO is half of VIN, CIN it is under the worst current stress. The worst current stress on CIN is 0.5 x IO. High inductance gives low inductor ripple current but requires a 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 30% to 50% of output current. When selecting the inductor, make sure it is able to handle the peak current without saturation even at the highest operating temperature. The inductor takes the highest current in a buck circuit. The conduction loss on the inductor needs to be checked for thermal and efficiency requirements. 0.5 0.4 Surface mount inductors in different shapes and styles are available from Coilcraft, Elytone and Murata. Shielded inductors are small and radiate less EMI noise, but they do cost more than unshielded inductors. The choice depends on EMI requirement, price and size. ICIN_RMS(m) 0.3 IO 0.2 0.1 0 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 ripple current rating. Depending on the application circuits, other low ESR tantalum capacitor or aluminum electrolytic capacitor may also be used. When selecting ceramic capacitors, X5R or X7R type dielectric ceramic capacitors are preferred for their better temperature and voltage characteristics. Note that the ripple current rating from capacitor manufactures is based on certain amount of life time. Further de-rating may be necessary for practical design requirement. 0 0.5 m 1 Figure 3. ICIN vs. Voltage Conversion Ratio Rev. 2.0 February 2014 www.aosmd.com Page 11 of 16 AOZ1236QI-01 Output Capacitor 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 V O = I L ESR CO + ------------------------- 8fC O where, CO is output capacitor value and ESRCO is the Equivalent Series Resistor of output capacitor. When a 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: 1 V O = I L ------------------------8fC 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: V O = I L ESR CO Thermal Management and Layout Consideration In the AOZ1236-01 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 returns to the input capacitor through ground. Current flows in the first loop when the high side switch is on. The second loop starts from the inductor, to the output capacitors and load, to the low side switch. Current flows in the second loop when the low side switch 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 the input capacitor, output capacitor and PGND pin of the AOZ1236-01. In the AOZ1236-01 buck regulator circuit, the major power dissipating components are the AOZ1236-01 and output inductor. The total power dissipation of the converter circuit can be measured by input power minus output power. P total_loss = V IN I IN – V O I O The power dissipation of inductor can be approximately calculated by output current and DCR of inductor and output current. P inductor_loss = IO2 R inductor 1.1 The actual junction temperature can be calculated with power dissipation in the AOZ1236-01 and thermal impedance from junction to ambient. T junction = P total_loss – P inductor_loss JA 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. 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: The maximum junction temperature of AOZ1236-01 is 150ºC, which limits the maximum load current capability. The thermal performance of the AOZ1236-01 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. I L I CO_RMS = ---------12 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, the output capacitor could be overstressed. Rev. 2.0 February 2014 www.aosmd.com Page 12 of 16 AOZ1236QI-01 Layout Considerations Several layout tips are listed below for the best electric and thermal performance. 4. Decoupling capacitor CVCC should be connected to VCC and AGND as close as possible. 1. The LX pins and pad are connected to internal low side switch drain. They are low resistance thermal conduction path and most noisy switching node. Connect a large copper plane to LX pin to help thermal dissipation. 5. Voltage divider R1 and R2 should be placed as close as possible to FB and AGND. 2. The IN pins and pad are connected to internal high side switch drain. They are also low resistance thermal conduction path. Connect a large copper plane to IN pins to help thermal dissipation. 6. RTON should be put on the PCB reverse side of the feedback network or away from the FB pin and FB feedback resistors to avoid contact, which may short the TON pin and FB together to ground and cause an abnormal operation. 3. Input capacitors should be connected to the IN pin and the PGND pin as close as possible to reduce the switching spikes. 7. A ground plane is preferred; Pin 19 (PGND) must be connected to the ground plane through via. 8. Keep sensitive signal traces such as feedback trace far away from the LX pins. 9.
