The devices have a 1 A internal gate driver circuit designed to drive N−channel MOSFETs in a synchronous−rectifier buck topology. The output voltage of the converter can be precisely regulated down to 800 mV ±2.0% when the VFB pin is tied to VOUT. The switching frequency, is internally set to 275 kHz. A high gain operational transconductance error amplifier (OTA) is used. When the Comp pin voltage falls or is pulled externally below the 400 mV threshold, it disables the PWM Logic and the gate drive outputs. In this disabled mode, the operational transconductance amplifier (EOTA) output source current is reduced and limited to the Soft−Start mode of 10 mA. Normal Shutdown Behavior Normal shutdown occurs when the IC stops switching because the input supply reaches UVLO threshold. In this case, switching stops, the internal SS is discharged, and all GATE pins go low. The switch node enters a high impedance state and the output capacitors discharge through the load with no ringing on the output voltage. Duty Cycle and Maximum Pulse Width Limits In steady state DC operation, the duty cycle will stabilize at an operating point defined by the ratio of the input to the output voltage. The devices can achieve an 80% duty cycle. There is a built in off−time which ensures that the bootstrap supply is charged every cycle. Both parts can allow a 12 V to 0.8 V conversion at 275 kHz. External Soft−Start The NCP1579 features an external soft−start function, which reduces inrush current and overshoot of the output voltage. Soft−start is achieved by using the internal current source of 10 mA (typ), which charges the external integrator capacitor of the transconductance amplifier. Figure 8 is a typical soft−start sequence. This sequence begins once VCC surpasses its UVLO threshold and OCP programming is complete. During soft−start, as the Comp Pin rises through 400 mV, the PWM Logic and gate drives are enabled. When the feedback voltage crosses 800 mV, the EOTA will be given control to switch to its higher regulation mode output current of 120 mA. Input Voltage Range (VCC and BST) The input voltage range for both VCC and BST is 4.5 V to 13.2 V with respect to GND and PHASE, respectively. Although BST is rated at 13.2 V with respect to PHASE, it can also tolerate 26.4 V with respect to GND. 4.0 V VCC 0.85 V Comp 0.8 V Vfb 550 mV BG 50 mV OCP Program ming TG Vout POR UVLO SS NORMAL Figure 8. Soft−Start Implementation http://onsemi.com 6 NCP1579 UVLO go through a Power On Reset (POR) cycle to reset the OCP fault. Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) is provided to ensure that unexpected behavior does not occur when VCC is too low to support the internal rails and power the converter. For the NCP1579, the UVLO is set to permit operation when converting from a 5.0 input voltage. Drivers The NCP1579 includes gate drivers to switch external N−channel MOSFETs. This allows the devices to address high−power as well as low−power conversion requirements. The gate drivers also include adaptive non−overlap circuitry. The non−overlap circuitry increase efficiency, which minimizes power dissipation, by minimizing the body diode conduction time. A detailed block diagram of the non−overlap and gate drive circuitry used in the chip is shown in Figure 9. Overcurrent Threshold Setting NCP1579 can easily program an Overcurrent Threshold ranging from 50 mV to 550 mV, simply by adding a resistor (RSET) between BG and GND. During a short period of time following VCC rising over UVLO threshold, an internal 10 mA current (IOCSET) is sourced from BG pin, determining a voltage drop across ROCSET. This voltage drop will be sampled and internally held by the device as Overcurrent Threshold. The OC setting procedure overall time length is about 6 ms. Connecting a ROCSET resistor between BG and GND, the programmed threshold will be: I @ ROCSET IOCth + OCSET RDS(on) FAULT 1 BST 2 TG 8 PHASE (eq. 1) RSET values range from 5 kW to 55 kW. In case ROCSET is not connected, the device switches the OCP threshold to a fixed 375 mV value: an internal safety clamp on BG is triggered as soon as BG voltage reaches 700 mV, enabling the 375 mV fixed threshold and ending OC setting phase. The current trip threshold tolerance is ±25 mV. The accuracy of the set point is best at the highest set point (550 mV). The accuracy will decrease as the set point decreases. + 2V + - VCC 4 BG Rset Current Limit Protection In case of a short circuit or overload, the low−side (LS) FET will conduct large currents. The controller will shut down the regulator in this situation for protection against overcurrent. The low−side RDS(on) sense is implemented at the end of each of the LS−FET turn−on duration to sense the over current trip point. While the LS driver is on, the Phase voltage is compared to the internally generated OCP trip voltage. If the phase voltage is lower than OCP trip voltage, an overcurrent condition occurs and a counter is initiated. When the counter completes, the PWM logic and both HS−FET and LS−FET are turned off. The controller has to 3 FAULT GND Figure 9. Block Diagram Careful selection and layout of external components is required, to realize the full benefit of the onboard drivers. The capacitors between VCC and GND and between BST and SWN must be placed as close as possible to the IC. The current paths for the TG and BG connections must be optimized. A ground plane should be placed on the closest layer for return currents to GND in order to reduce loop area and inductance in the gate drive circuit. http://onsemi.com 7 NCP1579 APPLICATION SECTION Input Capacitor Selection The above calculation includes the delay from comp rising to when output voltage starts becomes valid. To calculate the time of output voltage rising to when it reaches regulation; DV is the difference between the comp voltage reaching regulation and 0.88 V. The input capacitor has to sustain the ripple current produced during the on time of the upper MOSFET, so it must have a low ESR to minimize the losses. The RMS value of this ripple is: Iin RMS + I OUT ǸD (1 * D) , Output Capacitor Selection The output capacitor is a basic component for the fast response of the power supply. In fact, during load transient, for the first few microseconds it supplies the current to the load. The controller immediately recognizes the load transient and sets the duty cycle to maximum, but the current slope is limited by the inductor value. During a load step transient the output voltage initial drops due to the current variation inside the capacitor and the ESR. ((neglecting the effect of the effective series inductance (ESL)): where D is the duty cycle, IinRMS is the input RMS current, & IOUT is the load current. The equation reaches its maximum value with D = 0.5. Loss in the input capacitors can be calculated with the following equation: P CIN + ESR CIN Iin RMS 2 , where PCIN is the power loss in the input capacitors & ESRCIN is the effective series resistance of the input capacitance. Due to large dI/dt through the input capacitors, electrolytic or ceramics should be used. If a tantalum must be used, it must by surge protected. Otherwise, capacitor failure could occur. DV OUT−ESR + DI OUT where VOUT- ESR is the voltage deviation of VOUT due to the effects of ESR and the ESRCOUT is the total effective series resistance of the output capacitors. A minimum capacitor value is required to sustain the current during the load transient without discharging it. The voltage drop due to output capacitor discharge is given by the following equation: Calculating Input Start-up Current To calculate the input start up current, the following equation can be used. C OUT I inrush + tSS V OUT , where Iinrush is the input current during start-up, COUT is the total output capacitance, VOUT is the desired output voltage, and tSS is the soft start interval. If the inrush current is higher than the steady state input current during max load, then the input fuse should be rated accordingly, if one is used. DV OUT−DISCHARGE + 2 DIOUT 2 L OUT , C OUT (V IN D * V OUT) where VOUT- DISCHARGE is the voltage deviation of VOUT due to the effects of discharge, LOUT is the output inductor value & VIN is the input voltage. It should be noted that ΔVOUT- DISCHARGE and ΔVOUT- ESR are out of phase with each other, and the larger of these two voltages will determine the maximum deviation of the output voltage (neglecting the effect of the ESL). Calculating Soft Start Time To calculate the soft start time, the following equation can be used. t ss + ESR COUT (C p ) C c) * DV I ss Inductor Selection Both mechanical and electrical considerations influence the selection of an output inductor. From a mechanical perspective, smaller inductor values generally correspond to smaller physical size. Since the inductor is often one of the largest components in the regulation system, a minimum inductor value is particularly important in space-constrained applications. From an electrical perspective, the maximum current slew rate through the output inductor for a buck regulator is given by: Where Cc is the compensation as well as the soft start capacitor, Cp is the additional capacitor that forms the second pole. Iss is the soft start current DV is the comp voltage from zero to until it reaches regulation DV 880 mV SlewRate LOUT + V IN * V OUT L OUT This equation implies that larger inductor values limit the regulator’s ability to slew current through the output inductor in response to output load transients. Consequently, output capacitors must supply the load current until the inductor current reaches the output load current level. This results in larger values of output capacitance to maintain Vcomp Vout http://onsemi.com 8 NCP1579 tight output voltage regulation. In contrast, smaller values of inductance increase the regulator’s maximum achievable slew rate and decrease the necessary capacitance, at the expense of higher ripple current. The peak-to-peak ripple current for NCP1579 is given by the following equation: Figure 10 shows a typical Type II transconductance error amplifier (EOTA). The compensation network consists of the internal error amplifier and the impedance networks ZIN (R1, R2) and external ZFB (Rc, Cc and Cp). The compensation network has to provide a closed loop transfer function with the highest 0 dB crossing frequency to have fast response (but always lower than FSW/8) and the highest gain in DC conditions to minimize the load regulation. A stable control loop has a gain crossing with -20 dB/decade slope and a phase margin greater than 45°. Include worst-case component variations when determining phase margin. Loop stability is defined by the compensation network around the EOTA, the output capacitor, output inductor and the output divider. Figure 11 shows the open loop and closed loop gain plots. V OUT(1 * D) , L OUT 275 kHz Ipk * pk LOUT + where Ipk-pkLOUT is the peak to peak current of the output. From this equation it is clear that the ripple current increases as LOUT decreases, emphasizing the trade-off between dynamic response and ripple current. Feedback and Compensation The NCP1579 allows the output of the DC-DC converter to be adjusted from 0.8 V to 5.0 V via an external resistor divider network. The controller will try to maintain 0.8 V at the feedback pin. Thus, if a resistor divider circuit was placed across the feedback pin to VOUT, the controller will regulate the output voltage proportional to the resistor divider network in order to maintain 0.8 V at the FB pin. Compensation Network Frequency: The inductor and capacitor form a double pole at the frequency F LC + VOUT ǸLo Co The ESR of the output capacitor creates a “zero” at the frequency, R1 F ESR + FB 2p 1 ESR Co The zero of the compensation network is formed as, R2 FZ + ǒ V REF V OUT * V REF 2p 1 R cC c The pole of the compensation network is calculated as, The relationship between the resistor divider network above and the output voltage is shown in the following equation: R2 + R1 1 2p Fp + Ǔ 2p 1 Rc Cp Resistor R1 is selected based on a design tradeoff between efficiency and output voltage accuracy. For high values of R1 there is less current consumption in the feedback network, However the trade off is output voltage accuracy due to the bias current in the error amplifier. The output voltage error of this bias current can be estimated using the following equation (neglecting resistor tolerance): Error% + 0.1 mA R 1 V REF 100% Once R1 has been determined, R2 can be calculated. Figure 11. Gain Plot of the Error Amplifier R1 Thermal Considerations EA The power dissipation of the NCP1579 varies with the MOSFETs used, VCC, and the boost voltage (VBST). The average MOSFET gate current typically dominates the control IC power dissipation. The IC power dissipation is determined by the formula: Gm Cc Rc Cp Vref + R2 − P IC + (ICC Figure 10. Type II Transconductance Error Amplifier Where: http://onsemi.com 9 V CC) ) P TG ) P BG NCP1579 PIC = control IC power dissipation, ICC = IC measured supply current, VCC = IC supply voltage, PTG = top gate driver losses, PBG = bottom gate driver losses. The upper (switching) MOSFET gate driver losses are: P TG + Q TG f SW NCP1579 V BST Where: QTG = total upper MOSFET gate charge at VBST, fSW = the switching frequency, VBST = the BST pin voltage. The lower (synchronous) MOSFET gate driver losses are: P BG + Q BG fSW Figure 12. Components to be Considered for Layout Specifications V CC Where: QBG = total lower MOSFET gate charge at VCC. The junction temperature of the control IC can then be calculated as: T J + TA ) P IC q JA Where: TJ = the junction temperature of the IC, TA = the ambient temperature, θJA = the junction−to−ambient thermal resistance of the IC package. The package thermal resistance can be obtained from the specifications section of this data sheet and a calculation can be made to determine the IC junction temperature. However, it should be noted that the physical layout of the board, the proximity of other heat sources such as MOSFETs and inductors, and the amount of metal connected to the IC, impact the temperature of the device. Use these calculations as a guide, but measurements should be taken in the actual application. Layout Considerations As in any high frequency switching converter, layout is very important. Switching current from one power device to another can generate voltage transients across the impedances of the interconnecting bond wires and circuit traces. These interconnecting impedances should be minimized by using wide, short printed circuit traces. The critical components should be located as close together as possible using ground plane construction or single point grounding. The figure below shows the critical power components of the converter. To minimize the voltage overshoot the interconnecting wires indicated by heavy lines should be part of ground or power plane in a printed circuit board. The components shown in the figure below should be located as close together as possible. Please note that the capacitors CIN and COUT each represent numerous physical capacitors. It is desirable to locate the NCP1579 within 1 inch of the MOSFETs, Q1 and Q2. The circuit traces for the MOSFETs’ gate and source connections from the NCP1579 must be sized to handle up to 2 A peak current. http://onsemi.com 10 NCP1579 PACKAGE DIMENSIONS SOIC−8 D SUFFIX CASE 751−07 ISSUE AK −X− NOTES: 1.
