OVERCURRENT HICCUP MODE 6 FN6279.0 October 5, 2006 ISL97536 Applications Information Product Description The ISL97536 is a synchronous, integrated FET 1A step-down regulator which operates from an input of 2.5V to 6V. The output voltage is user-adjustable with a pair of external resistors. The internally-compensated controller makes it possible to use only two ceramic capacitors and one inductor to form a complete, very small footprint 1A DC:DC converter. PWM Operation In PWM switching mode, the P-channel MOSFET and N-channel MOSFET always operate complementary. When the P-channel MOSFET is on and the N-channel MOSFET off, the inductor current increases linearly. The input energy is transferred to the output and also stored in the inductor. When the P-channel MOSFET is off and the N-channel MOSFET on, the inductor current decreases linearly, and energy is transferred from the inductor to the output. Hence, the average current through the inductor is the output current. Since the inductor and the output capacitor act as a low pass filter, the duty cycle ratio is approximately equal to VO divided by VIN. The output LC filter has a second order effect. To maintain the stability of the converter, the overall controller must be compensated. This is done with the fixed internally compensated error amplifier and the PWM compensator. Because the compensations are fixed, the values of input and output capacitors are 10µF to 40µF ceramic and inductor is 1.5µH to 2.2µH. Start-Up and Shutdown When the EN pin is tied to VIN, and VIN reaches approximately 2.4V, the regulator begins to switch. The inductor current limit is gradually increased to ensure proper soft-start operation. When the EN pin is connected to a logic low, the ISL97536 is in the shutdown mode. All the control circuitry and both MOSFETs are off, and VOUT falls to zero. In this mode, the total input current is less than 1µA. When the EN reaches logic HI, the regulator repeats the start-up procedure, including the soft-start function. Current Limit and Short-Circuit Protection The current limit is set at about 1.5A for the PMOS. When a short-circuit occurs in the load, the preset current limit restricts the amount of current available to the output, which causes the output voltage to drop as load demand increases. When the output voltage drops 30mV below the reference voltage, the converter will shutdown for a period of time, approximated by Equation 1, and then restart. If the overcurrent condition still exists, it will repeat the shutdownwait-restart event. This is called a “hiccup” event. The 7 average power dissipation is reduced, thereby reducing the likelihood of damage current and thermal conditions in the IC. 700µ ⋅ V IN tHICCUP ≈ ⎛ --------------------------- + 216µ⎞ ⎝ ⎠ 3 (EQ. 1) Thermal Shutdown Once the junction reaches about 145°C, the regulator shuts down. Both the P-channel and the N-channel MOSFETs turn off. The output voltage will drop to zero. With the output MOSFETs turned off, the regulator will cool down. Once the junction temperature drops to about 130°C, the regulator will perform a normal restart. Thermal Performance The ISL97536 is available in a fused-lead MSOP10. Compared with regular MSOP10 package, the fused-lead package provides lower thermal resistance. The θJA is +100°C/W on a 4-layer board and +125°C/W on 2-layer board. Maximizing the copper area around the pins will further improve the thermal performance. RSI/POR Function When powering up, the open-collector Power-On-Reset output holds low for about 100ms after VO reaches the preset voltage. When the active-HI reset signal RSI is issued, POR goes to low immediately and holds for the same period of time after RSI comes back to LOW. The output voltage is unaffected. (Please refer to the timing diagram). When the function is not used, connect RSI to ground and leave open the pull-up resister R4 at POR pin. The POR output also serves as a 100ms delayed Power Good signal when the pull-up resister R4 is installed. The RSI pin needs to be directly (or indirectly through a resister R6) connected to Ground for this to function properly. VO MIN 25ns RSI 100ms 100ms POR FIGURE 18. RSI AND POR TIMING DIAGRAM Output Voltage Selection Users can set the output voltage of the variable version with a resister divider, which can be chosen based on the following formula: R ⎞ ⎛ V O = 0.8 × ⎜ 1 + ------2-⎟ R 1⎠ ⎝ (EQ. 2) FN6279.0 October 5, 2006 ISL97536 Component Selection Because of the fixed internal compensation, the component choice is relatively narrow. For a regulator with fixed output voltage, only two capacitors and one inductor are required. Capacitors must be chosen in the range of 10µF to 40µF, multilayer ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R rating for both the input and output capacitors, and inductors in the range of 1.5µH to 2.2µH. The RMS current present at the input capacitor is decided by the following formula: V O × ( V IN – V O ) I INRMS = ----------------------------------------------- × I O V IN (EQ. 3) This is about half of the output current IO for all the VO. This input capacitor must be able to handle this current. 1 f Z = ---------------------2πR 2 C 4 (EQ. 5) Over a normal range of R2 (~10-100k), C4 will range from ~470-4700pF. The pole frequency cannot be set once the zero frequency is chosen as it is dictated by the ratio of R1 and R2, which is solely determined by the desired output set point. The equation below shows the pole frequency relationship: 1 f P = --------------------------------------2π ( R 1 R 2 )C 4 (EQ. 6) Layout Considerations The layout is very important for the converter to function properly. The following PC layout guidelines should be followed: The inductor peak-to-peak ripple current is given as: ( V IN – V O ) × V O ∆I IL = ------------------------------------------L × V IN × f S lead at a frequency of ~2.5kHz. The zero will always appear at lower frequency than the pole and follow the equation below: (EQ. 4) 1. Separate the Power Ground ( ) and Signal Ground ( ); connect them only at one point right at the pins L is the inductance fS the switching frequency (nominally 1.4MHz) The inductor must be able to handle IO for the RMS load current, and to assure that the inductor is reliable, it must handle the 2A surge current that can occur during a current limit condition. In addition to decoupling capacitors and inductor value, it is important to properly size the phase-lead capacitor C4 (Refer to the Typical Application Diagram). The phase-lead capacitor creates additional phase margin in the control loop by generating a zero and a pole in the transfer function. As a general rule of thumb, C4 should be sized to start the phase- 8 2. Place the input capacitor as close to VIN and PGND pins as possible 3. Make the following PC traces as small as possible: - from LX pin to L - from CO to PGND 4. If used, connect the trace from the FB pin to R1 and R2 as close as possible 5. Maximize the copper area around the PGND pin 6. Place several via holes under the chip to additional ground plane to improve heat dissipation The demo board is a good example of layout based on this outline.
