The feature increasing efficiency at light loads allows the device to be used in the energy-saving applications. With the current mode control, ultra low ESR capacitors such as ceramic capacitors can be used. The ICs have protection functions such as Over-Current Protection (OCP), Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) and Thermal Shutdown (TSD). An adjustable Soft-Start by an external capacitor prevents the excessive inrush current at turn-on. The ICs integrate phase compensation circuit which reduces the number of external components and simplifies the design of customer application. The ON/OFF pin (EN Pin) turns the regulator on or off and helps to achieve low power consumption requirements.

Page.10 NR110E SERIES APPLICATION NOTE Rev.2.0 6. Operational Descriptions 6.1 PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Output Control The NR110E series consist of three blocks; two feedback loops (voltage control and current control) and one slope compensation. The PWM is controlled with the current mode control by calculating the voltage feedback control, and the current feedback control and the slope compensation signals. (fig. 8) For the voltage feedback control, the output voltage feed back to the PWM control. The error amplifier compares the output voltage divided by resistors with the reference voltage VREF = 0.8V. For the current feedback control, the inductor current feed back to the PWM control. The inductor current divided by Sense-MOSFET is detected with the current sense amplifier. To prevent sub-harmonic oscillations, which is characteristic in current mode control, the slope of current control is compensated. fig. 8 Basic Structure of Chopper Type Regulator with PWM Control by Current Control The NR110E series start the switching operation when UVLO is released, or EN or SS Pin voltage exceeds the threshold. Initially, it operates switching with minimum ON duty or maximum ON duty. The high-side switch (M1) is the switching MOSFET that supplies output power. At first, the boost capacitor C3 that drives M1 is charged by internal circuit. When M1 is ON, as the inductor current is increased by applying voltage to SW Pin and the inductor, the output of inductor current sense amplifier is also increased. Sum of the current sense amplifier output and slope compensation signal is compared with the error amplifier output. When the summed signal exceeds the error amplifier (Error Amp.) output voltage, the current comparator output becomes “High” and the RS flip-flop is reset. The regenerative current flows through D1, when the M1 turns OFF. In NR110E series, the set signal is generated in each cycle and RS flip-flop is set. In the case that the summed signal does not exceed the error amplifier (Error Amp.) output voltage, RS flip-flop is reset without fail by the signal from OFF duty circuit. 6.2 Power Supply Stability The phase characteristics of chopper type regulator are the synthesis of the internal phase characteristics of regulator IC, the combination of output capacitor C4 (C5) and load resistance Rout. The internal phase characteristics of regulator IC are generally determined by the delay time of control block and the phase characteristics of output error amplifier. The phase delay due to the delay time of control block is very small and not problem in actual use. As the built-in phase compensation for output error amplifier, in order to ensure stable operation, refer to “7.1.3 Output Capacitor C4 (C5)” and “7.1.4 Output Voltage Set-up (FB Pin)” for setting output capacitor and the output voltage. Copy Right: SANKEN ELECTRIC CO., LTD. Page.11 6.3 Over Current Protection (OCP) The NR110E series integrate the drooping type over-current protection circuit. The peak current of switching transistor is detected. When the peak current exceeds rated value, the over-current protection limits the current by forcibly shortening the ON time of transistor and decreasing the output voltage. It prevents the current increment at low output voltage by decreasing the switching frequency, if the output voltage drops lower. When the over-current state is released, the output voltage automatically returns. Rev.2.0 Output Voltage Vo [V] NR110E SERIES APPLICATION NOTE Output Voltage Vo [V] fig.9 OCP Characteristics of NR110E series 6.4 Thermal Shutdown (TSD) The thermal shutdown circuit detects the IC junction temperature. When the junction temperature exceeds the rated value (around 160°C), it shuts-down the output transistor and turns the output OFF. If the junction temperature falls below the thermal shutdown rated value by around 20°C, the operation returns automatically. * (Thermal Shutdown Characteristics) Notes The circuit protects the IC against temporary heat generation.

A capacitor Css controls OFF period of PWM and then the rise time is determined. The rise time t_ss and the delay time t_delay are calculated in following equations.

Design Notes 7.1 External Components All components are required for matching to the condition of use. 7.1.1 Choke Coil L1 The choke coil L1 is one of the most important components in the chopper type switching regulators. In order to maintain the stabilized regulator operation, the coil should be carefully selected so it must not enter saturation or over heat excessively at any conditions. The selection points of choke coil are as follows: a) The coil type is only required for switching regulator. It is recommended not to use a coil for noise filer since it causes high heat generation due to high power dissipation. From fig.15 shows the selection range of inductance L to prevent the sub-harmonic oscillations. As for the upper limit of inductance L, the value is for reference, because it may vary depending on input/output conditions and load current. The ripple portion of choke coil current ΔIL and the peak current ILp are calculated from the following equations: IL (VIN Vo ) Vo L VIN f IL ILp Io 2 Inductance L Selection Range Inductance Inductance L L Selection Selection Range Range ------ (1) Output Voltage Vo [V] fig.15 Selection Range of Inductance L in NR110E ------ (2) The ΔIL and ILp increase when the inductance of the choke coil L becomes smaller. If the inductance is too small, the regulator operation may be unstable because the choke coil current fluctuates largely. It is necessary to give attention to decreasing of the inductance due to the magnetic saturation such as in overload and load shortage. High Inductance Inductance L [µH] b) The sub-harmonic oscillations should be prevented. Under the peak detection current control, the inductor current may fluctuate at a frequency that is an integer multiple of switching operation frequency. This phenomenon is the known as sub-harmonic oscillation and this phenomenon theoretically occurs in the peak detection current control mode. In order to stabilize the operation, the inductor current compensation is made internally. The inductance corresponding to the output voltage should be selected. Low Inductance fig.16 Relationship between inductance and ripple current Copy Right: SANKEN ELECTRIC CO., LTD. Page.14 NR110E SERIES APPLICATION NOTE Rev.2.0 c) The coil should be of proper rated current. The rated current of the choke coil should be higher than the maximum load current used. If the load current exceeds the rated current of coil, the inductance decreases drastically and eventually enters into the saturation state. In this status, it is necessary to give attention because the high-frequency impedance decreases and the excess current runs. d) The magnetic noise should be minimized. The open magnetic circuit type core like a drum type may generate noise in peripheral circuit due to the magnetic flux passing outside of coil. Coils of closed magnetic circuit type core, such as toroidal type, EI type and EE type are preferable. 7.1.2 Input Capacitor C1 (C2) The input capacitor operates as a bypass capacitor of input circuit. It supplies the short current pulses to the regulator during switching and compensates the input voltage drop. It should be connected close to the regulator IC. Even if the rectifying capacitor of AC rectifier circuit is in input circuit, the input capacitor cannot be used as a rectifying capacitor unless it is connected near IC. The selection points of C1 (C2) are as follows: a) The capacitor should be of proper breakdown voltage rating b) The capacitor should have sufficient allowable ripple current rating If the input capacitor C1 (C2) is used under the conditions of excessive breakdown voltage or allowable ripple current, or without derating, the regulator may become unstable and the capacitor’s lifetime may be greatly reduced. The selection of the capacitor C1 (C2) is required for the sufficient margins to the ripple current. The effective value of ripple current Irms that flows across the input capacitor is calculated from the equation (3): Irms 1.2 IIN VIN IN Ripple current C1 (C2) Vo Io ------ (3) Vin fig. 17 C1 (C2) Current path In the case of VIN = 20V, Io = 3A, Vo = 5V, Irms 1.2 5 3 0.9A 20 IIN The capacitor is required VIN for the allowable ripple current 1.VIN of 0.9A or higher.

Page.15 NR110E SERIES APPLICATION NOTE Rev.2.0 7.1.3 Output Capacitor C4 (C5) In the current control mode, the feedback loop which detects the inductor current is added to the voltage control mode. The stable operation is achieved by adding inductor current to the feedback loop without considering the effect of secondary delay factor of LC filter. It is possible to reduce the capacitance of LC filter that is needed to make compensations for the secondary delay, and the stable operation is achieved even by using the low ESR capacitor (ceramic capacitor). The output capacitor C4 (C5) comprises the LC low-pass filter with choke coil L1 and works as the rectifying capacitor of switching output. The current equal to ripple portion ΔIL of choke coil current charges and discharges the output capacitor. In the same way as the input capacitor, the breakdown voltage and the allowable ripple current should be met with sufficient margins. IL The ripple current effective value of output capacitor is calculated from the equation (4): Irms IL 2 3 Vout L1 ------ (4) ESR When ΔIL = 0.5A, Irms Io Ripple current 0.5 ≒ 0.14A 2 3 RL C4 (C5) Therefore a capacitor with the allowable ripple current of 0.14A or higher is needed. IL fig. 19 C4 (C5) Current path The output ripple voltage of regulator Vrip is determined by Vout the product of choke current ripple L1 portion ΔIL (= C4 (C5) discharge and charge current) and output capacitor C4 (C5) Ripple Io equivalent series resistance ESR. current Vrip IL C4 ESR ------ESR (5) RL It is necessary to select a capacitor with low equivalent series resistance ESR in order to lower the output ripple voltage. As C2 for general electrolytic capacitors of same product series, the ESR shall be lower for products of higher capacitance with same breakdown voltage, or of higher breakdown voltage with same capacitance. When ΔIL = 0.5A, Vrip = 40mV, C4 ESR 40 0.5 80m A capacitor with ESR of 80mΩ or lower should be selected. Since the ESR varies with temperature and increases at low temperature, it is required to check the ESR at the actual operating temperatures. It is recommended to contact capacitor manufacturers for the ESR value since it is peculiar to every capacitor series. Copy Right: SANKEN ELECTRIC CO., LTD. Page.16 C2 Current Waveform 0 ∆IL fig. 20 C4 (C5) Current Waveform NR110E SERIES APPLICATION NOTE Rev.2.0 7.1.4 Output Voltage Set-up ( FB Pin ) The FB Pin is the feedback detection Pin that controls the output voltage. It is recommended to connect close to the output capacitor C4 (C5). If they are not close, the abnormal oscillations may be caused by the poor regulation and the increased switching ripple. The setting of output voltage is achieved by connecting between resistive voltage divider R4 (R5) and R6. Setting the IFB to about 0.2mA is recommended. (The target of IFB lower limit is 0.2mA, and the upper limit is not defined. However, it is necessary to consider that the circuit current shall increase according to the IFB value.) R4 (R5), R6 and the output voltage are calculated from the following equations: IFB = VFB / R6 R4+R5 R6 fig. 21 Detection and setting of output voltage *VFB = 0.8V ± 2% R4 + R5 = ( VO VFB ) / IFB R6 = VFB / IFB VO = ( R4 + R5 ) × ( VFB / R6 ) + VFB R6 is required to connect for the stable operation when set to VO = 0.8V. Regarding the relation of input / output voltages, it is recommended that setting of the ON width of the SW Pin is more than 200nsec The PCB circuit traces of FB Pin, R4 (R5) and R6 are required for not parallel to the flywheel diode. The switching noise may affect the detection voltage and the abnormal oscillation may be caused. Especially, it is recommended to design the circuit trace short from FB Pin to R6. 7.1.5 External Bootstrap Diode for Low Input Although the NR110E series drives with input voltages lower than 6V, it is recommended to connect a diode between IN Pin and BS Pin in order to enhance the efficiency (fig.22). Alternatively an external voltage source can be connected through a diode to the BS Pin (fig.23). NOTES: 1) The external voltage is required to be set from 5V to 6V. 2) In the case that the input voltage VIN is higher than 6V, the Bootstrap Diode must not be connected. 5V 2.

The flywheel diode D1 is for releasing the energy stored in the choke coil at switching OFF. If a general rectifying diode or a fast recovery diode is used, the IC may fail to operate properly becase of applying reverse voltage due to the recovery and ON voltage. Since the output voltage from the SW Pin (Pin No. 3) is almost equal to the input voltage, it is required to use the flywheel diode with the reverse breakdown voltage of equal or higher than the input voltage. It is recommended not to use ferrite beads for flywheel diode. 7.1.7 Output Voltage VO and Output Capacitor C4 (C5) From Table 6 shows the comparison of output voltage and output capacitor, for maintaining the IC stable operations, for reference. ESR of Electrolytic Capacitor is required from 100m Ω to 200mΩ. Regarding the inductance L, it is recommended to select it according to 7.1.1 Choke Coil L1.

The next expression is an expression to exchanging a peak current (ILpeak) to for an output current (IO). IO=ILpeak－⊿IL×0.5 Only continuous current mode are applied ⊿IL = Vo×(1-Vo/VIN)/(L×fo) An OCP activation point can be adjusted by the setup value of RISET. However, because OCP-characteristic has the dispersion, the value of the Ip-detection to start OCP, it becomes the dispersion of between the curve(A) and the curve(B).

These paths are required for wide and short trace as possible. fig.24 Circuit Diagram 7.2.2 Input / Output Capacitors The input capacitor C1 (C2) and the output capacitor C4 (C5) are required to connect to the IC as short as possible. If the rectifying capacitor for AC rectifier circuit is in the input side, it can be also used as an input capacitor. However, if it is not close to the IC, the input capacitor is required to be connected in addition to the rectifying capacitor. A similar care should be taken when designing pattern for other capacitors. fig. 25 Recommended Pattern example Copy Right: SANKEN ELECTRIC CO., LTD.

Page.22 NR110E SERIES APPLICATION NOTE Rev.2.0 7.3 Applied Design 7.3.1 Spike Noise Reduction(1) The addition of the BS serial resistor The “turn-on switching speed” of the internal Power-MOSFETcan be slowed down by inserting RBS (option) of the fig30.It is tendency that Spike noise becomes small by reducing theswitching-speed. Set up 22-ohm as an upper limit when you use RBS. *Attention 1) When the resistance value of RBS is enlarged by mistake toomuch, the internal power-MOSFET becomes an under-drive,it may be damaged worst. 2) The “defective starting-up” is caused when the resistance value of RBS is too big. *The BS serial resistor RBS is R3 in the Demonstration Board. NR11xEseries fig.30 The ddition of BS resistor RBS 7.3.2 Spike Noise Reduction(2) IN The addition of the Snubber circuit In order to reduce the spike noise, it is possible to compensate the output waveform and the recovery time of diode by connecting a capacitor and resistor parallel to the flywheel diode (snubber method). This method however may slightly reduce the efficiency. * For observing the spike noise with an oscilloscope, the probe lead (GND) should be as short as possible and connected to the root of output capacitor. If the probe GND lead is too long, the lead may act like an antenna and the observed spike noise may be much higher and may not show the real values. *The snubber circuit parts are C12 and R10. NR11xEseries SW ≒10Ω GND ≒1000pF fig.31 The addition of snubber circuit ･Attention about the insertion of the bead-core fig.32 In the area surrounded by the red dotted line within the fig32, don't insert the bead-core such as Ferrite-bead. As for the pattern-design of printed-circuit-board, it is recommended that the parasitic-inductance of wiring-pattern is made small for the safety and the stability. When bead-core was inserted, the inance of the bead-core is added to parasitic-inductance of the wiring-pattern. By this influence, the surge-voltage occurs often, or , GND of IC becomes unstable, and also, negative voltage occurs often. Because of this, faulty operation occurs in the IC. The IC has the possibility of damage in the worst case. Copy Right: SANKEN ELECTRIC CO., LTD.

Page.24 NR110E SERIES APPLICATION NOTE Rev.2.0 OPERATING PRECAUTIONS Reliability can be affected adversely by improper storage environments and handling methods. Please observe the following cautions. Heat dissipation and reliability Thermal performance of the surface mount package IC depends on the material and area size of PCB and its copper plane. Design thermal condition with sufficient margin Parallel operation The parallel operation to increase the current is not available. Thermal shut down The NR111E has a thermal protection circuit.This circuit protects the IC from the heat generation by the over load.This circuit cannot guarantee the long-term reliability against the continuously over load status. Cautions for Storage Ensure that storage conditions comply with the standard temperature (5 to 35°C) and the standard relative humidity (around 40 to 75%); avoid storage locations that experience extreme changes in temperature or humidity. Avoid locations where dust or harmful gases are present and avoid direct sunlight. Reinspect for rust on leads and solderability of products that have been stored for a long time. Cautions for Testing and Handling When tests are carried out during inspection testing and other standard test periods, protect the products from power surges from the testing products, shorts between the product pins, and wrong connections. In addition, avoid tests exceeded ratings Soldering When soldering the products, please be sure to minimize the working time, within the following limits. ・Reflow Preheat ; 180°C / 90±30s Heat ; 250°C / 10±1s (260°C peak ,2times) ・Soldering iron ; 380±10°C / 3.5±0.5s (1time) Electrostatic Discharge When handling the products, the operator must be grounded. Grounded wrist straps worn should have at least 1MΩ of resistance from the operator to ground to prevent shock hazard, and it should be placed near the operator. Workbenches where the products are handled should be grounded and be provided with conductive table and floor mats. When using measuring equipment such as a curve tracer, the equipment should be grounded. When soldering the products, the head of a soldering irons or the solder bath must be grounded in order to prevent leak voltages generated by them from being applied to the products. The products should always be stored and transported in Sanken shipping containers or conductive containers, or be wrapped in aluminum foil. Copy Right: SANKEN ELECTRIC CO., LTD.

Although Sanken undertakes to enhance the quality and reliability of its products, the occurrence of failure and defect of semiconductor products at a certain rate is inevitable. Users of Sanken products are requested to take, at their own risk, preventative measures including safety design of the equipment or systems against any possible injury, death, fires or damages to the society due to device failure or malfunction. Sanken products listed in this document are designed and intended for the use as components in general purpose electronic equipment or apparatus (home appliances, office equipment, telecommunication equipment, measuring equipment, etc.). When considering the use of Sanken products in the applications where higher reliability is required (transportation equipment and its control systems, traffic signal control systems or equipment, fire/crime alarm systems, various safety devices, etc.), please contact your nearest Sanken sales representative to discuss, prior to the use of the products herein. The use of Sanken products without the written consent of Sanken in the applications where extremely high reliability is required (aerospace equipment, nuclear power control systems, life support systems, etc.) is strictly prohibited. In the case that you use Sanken semiconductor products or design your products by using Sanken semiconductor products, the reliability largely depends on the degree of derating to be made to the rated values. Derating may be interpreted as a case that an operation range is set by derating the load from each rated value or surge voltage or noise is considered for derating in order to assure or improve the reliability. In general, derating factors include electric stresses such as electric voltage, electric current, electric power etc., environmental stresses such as ambient temperature, humidity etc. and thermal stress caused due to self-heating of semiconductor products. For these stresses, instantaneous values, maximum values and minimum values must be taken into consideration. In addition, it should be noted that since power devices or IC’s including power devices have large self-heating value, the degree of derating of junction temperature affects the reliability significantly. When using the products specified herein by either (i) combining other products or materials therewith or (ii) physically, chemically or otherwise processing or treating the products, please duly consider all possible risks that may result from all such uses in advance and proceed therewith at your own responsibility.
