Current Mode Control Schematic Current Mode Control hiccup mode. The part will remain off for the hiccup time and then go through the soft−start procedure. The NCV8873 incorporates a current mode control scheme, in which the PWM ramp signal is derived from the power switch current. This ramp signal is compared to the output of the error amplifier to control the on−time of the power switch. The oscillator is used as a fixed−frequency clock to ensure a constant operational frequency. The resulting control scheme features several advantages over conventional voltage mode control. First, derived directly from the inductor, the ramp signal responds immediately to line voltage changes. This eliminates the delay caused by the output filter and error amplifier, which is commonly found in voltage mode controllers. The second benefit comes from inherent pulse−by−pulse current limiting by merely clamping the peak switching current. Finally, since current mode commands an output current rather than voltage, the filter offers only a single pole to the feedback loop. This allows for a simpler compensation. The NCV8873 also includes a slope compensation scheme in which a fixed ramp generated by the oscillator is added to the current ramp. A proper slope rate is provided to improve circuit stability without sacrificing the advantages of current mode control. EN/SYNC This pin has three modes. When a dc logic high (CMOS/TTL compatible) voltage is applied to this pin the NCV8873 operates at the programmed frequency. When a dc logic low voltage is applied to this pin the NCV8873 enters a low quiescent current sleep mode. When a square wave of at least %fsync,min of the free running switching frequency is applied to this pin, the switcher operates at the same frequency as the square wave. If the signal is slower than this, it will be interpreted as enabling and disabling the part. The falling edge of the square wave corresponds to the start of the switching cycle. If an Enable command is received during normal operation, the minimum duration of the Enable low−state must be greater than 7 clock cycles. UVLO Input Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) is provided to ensure that unexpected behavior does not occur when VIN is too low to support the internal rails and power the controller. The IC will start up when enabled and VIN surpasses the UVLO threshold plus the UVLO hysteresis and will shut down when VIN drops below the UVLO threshold or the part is disabled. Current Limit The NCV8873 features a peak current−mode current limit protection. When the current sense amplifier detects a voltage above the peak current limit between ISNS and GND after the current limit leading edge blanking time, the peak current limit causes the power switch to turn off for the remainder of the cycle. Set the current limit with a resistor from ISNS to GND, with R = VCL / Ilimit. If the voltage across the current sense resistor exceeds the over current threshold voltage the part enters over current Internal Soft−Start To insure moderate inrush current and reduce output overshoot, the NCV8873 features a soft start which charges a capacitor with a fixed current to ramp up the reference voltage. This fixed current is based on the switching frequency, so that if the NCV8873 is synchronized to twice the default switching frequency the soft start will last half as long. GDRV An RGND = 15 kW (typical) GDRV−GND resistor is strongly recommended. www.onsemi.com 8 NCV8873 APPLICATION INFORMATION Design Methodology cycle will be a complex value. This is because a Boost converter cannot have an output voltage lower than the input voltage. In situations where the input voltage is higher than the output, the output will follow the input (minus the diode drop of the Boost diode) and the converter will not attempt to switch. If the inductor value is too large, continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation will occur and a right-half-plane (RHP) zero appears which can result in operation instability. If the calculated Dmax is higher than the Dmax of the NCV8873, the conversion will not be possible. It is important for a Boost converter to have a restricted Dmax, because while the ideal conversion ration of a Boost converter goes up to infinity as D approaches 1, a real converter’s conversion ratio starts to decrease as losses overtake the increased power transfer. If the converter is in this range it will not be able to maintain output regulation. If the following equation is not satisfied, the device will skip pulses at high VIN: This section details an overview of the component selection process for the NCV8873 in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) Boost converter operation with a high brightness LED (100−150 mA typical) string as a load. LED current is used for the feedback signal. It is intended to assist with the design process but does not remove all engineering design work. Many of the equations make use of the small ripple approximation. This process entails the following steps: 1. Define Operational Parameters 2. Select Current Sense Resistor 3. Select Output Inductor 4. Select Output Capacitors 5. Select Input Capacitors 6. Select Feedback Resistors 7. Select Compensator Components 8. Select MOSFET(s) 9. Select Diode D min w t on(min) fs 1. Define Operational Parameters Before beginning the design, define the operating parameters of the application. These include: VIN(min): minimum input voltage [V] VIN(max): maximum input voltage [V] VOUT: output voltage [V] ILED: LED current [A] ICL: desired typical cycle-by-cycle current limit [A] Vref: NCV8873 feedback reference voltage = 0.2 V IL: inductor current [A] Where: fs: switching frequency [Hz] ton(min): minimum on time [s] 2. Select Current Sense Resistor Current sensing for peak current mode control and current limit relies on the MOSFET current signal, which is measured with a ground referenced amplifier. The easiest method of generating this signal is to use a current sense resistor between the MOSFET source and ground. The sense resistor should be selected as follows: From this the ideal minimum and maximum duty cycles can be calculated as follows: R SNS + V out M min + V in(max) Where: RSNS: sense resistor [W] VCL: current limit threshold voltage [V] ICL: desired current limit [A] V out M max + V in(min) R out + D max + d+ 3. Select the Boost Inductor V out I LED D min + Ǹ Ǹ V CL I CL ƪ The Boost inductor controls the current ripple that occurs over a switching period. A discontinuous current ripple will result in superior transient response and lower switching noise at the expense of higher transistor conduction losses and operating ripple current requirements. A low current ripple will result in CCM operation having a slower response current slew rate in case of load steps (e.g. introducing an LED series dimming circuit). A good starting point is to select components for DCM operation at Vin(min), but operation should be verified empirically. Calculate the maximum inductor value as follows: ƫ 2 Lf s ǒ2M min * 1Ǔ * 1 2R out Lf s ƪ(2Mmax * 1)2 * 1ƫ 2R out 2V out 2 *D, V inR outI L,peak Where: (D + d) < 1 for DCM operation IL. Both duty cycles will actually be slightly higher due to power loss in the conversion. The exact duty cycles depend on conduction and switching losses.

Select MOSFET(s) The maximum average inductor current can be calculated as follows: I L,avg + In order to ensure the gate drive voltage does not drop out, the selected MOSFET must not violate the following inequality: V OUTI OUT(max) V IN(min) Q g(total) v The peak inductor current can be calculated as follows: I L,peak + V IN(min)D max Where: Qg(total): Total Gate Charge of MOSFET(s) [C] Idrv: Drive voltage current [A] fs: Switching Frequency [Hz] The maximum RMS Current can be calculated as follows: Lf s Where: IL,peak: Peak inductor current value [A] 4. Select Output Capacitor The output capacitor smoothes the output voltage and reduces the overshoot and undershoot associated with line transients. The steady state output ripple associated with the output capacitors can be calculated as follows: V OUT(ripple) + I Q(max) + I L,peak Ǹ I LED 2 ) d(M max) ǒ 3 9.

The average current through diode will be equal to the output current: Ǔ * I L,pkI LED I D(avg) + I OUT(max) Additionally, the diode must block voltage equal to the higher of the output voltage or the maximum input voltage: A 2.2 mF ceramic capacitor is usually sufficient for high brightness LED applications for fs = 1 MHz.

Simply connect the voltage you would like to boost to the inductor and connect the stable voltage to the VIN pin of the device. In Boost configuration, the output of the converter can be used to power the device. In some cases it may be desirable to connect 2 sources to VIN pin, which can be accomplished simply by connecting each of the sources through a diode to the VIN pin. V ref I LED 7. Select Compensator Components Current Mode control method employed by the NCV8873 allows the use of a simple Type II compensation to optimize the dynamic response according to system requirements. A transconductance amplifier is used, so compensation components must be connected between the compensation pin and ground. www.onsemi.com 10 NCV8873 PACKAGE DIMENSIONS SOIC−8 NB CASE 751−07 ISSUE AK NOTES: 1.
