NCV890230 D

NCV890230
2 A, 2 MHz Automotive
Buck Switching Regulator
The NCV890230 is a fixed−frequency, monolithic, Buck switching
regulator intended for Automotive, battery−connected applications
that must operate with up to a 36 V input supply. The regulator is
suitable for systems with low noise and small form factor
requirements often encountered in automotive driver information
systems. The NCV890230 is capable of converting the typical 4.5 V to
18 V automotive input voltage range to outputs as low as 3.3 V at a
constant switching frequency above the sensitive AM band,
eliminating the need for costly filters and EMI countermeasures. The
NCV890230 also provides several protection features expected in
Automotive power supply systems such as current limit, short circuit
protection, and thermal shutdown. In addition, the high switching
frequency produces low output voltage ripple even when using small
inductor values and an all−ceramic output filter capacitor − forming a
space−efficient switching regulator solution.

NCV890230
GENERAL INFORMATION
INPUT VOLTAGE
SLOPE COMPENSATION
An Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) circuit monitors the
input, and inhibits switching and resets the Soft−start circuit
if there is insufficient voltage for proper regulation. The
NCV890230 can regulate a 3.3 V output with input voltages
above 4.5 V and a 5.0 V output with an input above 6.5 V.
The NCV890230 automatically terminates switching if
input voltage exceeds VOVSTP (see Figure 25), and
withstands input voltages up to 45 V.
To limit the power lost in generating the drive voltage for
the Power Switch, the switching frequency is reduced by a
factor of 2 when the input voltage exceeds the VIN
Frequency Foldback threshold VFLDUP (see Figure 25).
Frequency reduction is automatically terminated when the
input voltage drops back below the VIN Frequency Foldback
threshold VFLDDN.
A fixed slope compensation signal is generated internally
and added to the sensed current to avoid increased output
voltage ripple due to bifurcation of inductor ripple current
at duty cycles above 50%. The fixed amplitude of the slope
compensation signal requires the inductor to be greater than
a minimum value, depending on output voltage, in order to
avoid sub−harmonic oscillations. For 3.3 V and 5 V output
voltages, the recommended inductor value is 4.7 mH.
SHORT CIRCUIT FREQUENCY FOLDBACK
During severe output overloads or short circuits, the
NCV890230 automatically reduces its switching frequency.
This creates duty cycles small enough to limit the peak
current in the power components, while maintaining the
ability to automatically reestablish the output voltage if the
overload is removed. If the current is still too high after the
switching frequency folds back to 500 kHz, the regulator
enters an auto−recovery burst mode that further reduces the
dissipated power.
Fsw
(MHz)

CURRENT LIMITING
Due to the ripple on the inductor current, the average
output current of a buck converter is lower than the peak
current setpoint of the regulator. Figure 26 shows − for a
4.7 mH inductor − how the variation of inductor peak current
with input voltage affects the maximum DC current the
NCV890230 can deliver to a load.

ENABLE
The NCV890230 is designed to accept either a logic level
signal or battery voltage as an Enable signal. EN low induces
a ’sleep mode’ which shuts off the regulator and minimizes
its supply current to a couple of mA typically (IqSD) by
disabling all functions. Upon enabling, voltage is
established at the DRV pin, followed by a soft−start of the
switching regulator output.

SOFT−START
Upon being enabled or released from a fault condition,
and after the DRV voltage is established, a soft−start circuit
ramps the switching regulator error amplifier reference
voltage to the final value. During soft−start, the average
switching frequency is lower than its normal mode value
(typically 2 MHz) until the output voltage approaches
regulation.

NCV890230
BOOTSTRAP
In order for the bootstrap capacitor to stay charged, the
Switch node needs to be pulled down to ground regularly. In
very light load condition, the NCV890230 skips switching
cycles to ensure the output voltage stays regulated. When the
skip cycle repetition frequency gets too low, the bootstrap
voltage collapses and the regulator stops switching.
Practically, this means that the NCV890230 needs a
minimum load to operate correctly. Figure 27 shows the
minimum current requirements for different input and
output voltages.
At the DRV pin an internal regulator provides a
ground−referenced voltage to an external capacitor (CDRV),
to allow fast recharge of the external bootstrap capacitor

If the voltage at the DRV pin goes below the DRV UVLO
Threshold VDRVSTP, switching is inhibited and the
Soft−start circuit is reset, until the DRV pin voltage goes
back up above VDRVSTT.

OUTPUT PRECHARGE DETECTION
EXPOSED PAD
Prior to Soft−start, the FB pin is monitored to ensure the
SW voltage is low enough to have charged the external
bootstrap capacitor (CBST). If the FB pin is higher than
VSSEN, restart is delayed until the output has discharged.
Figure 28 shows the IC starts to switch after the voltage on
FB pin reaches VSSEN, even the EN pin is high. After the
IC is switching, the FB pin follows the soft starts reference
to reach the final set point.
The exposed pad (EPAD) on the back of the package must
be electrically connected to the electrical ground (GND pin)
for proper, noise−free operation.
DESIGN METHODOLOGY
The NCV890230 being a fixed−frequency regulator with
the switching element integrated, is optimized for one value
of inductor. This value is set to 4.7 mH, and the slope
compensation is adjusted for this inductor. The only
components left to be designed are the input and output
capacitor and the freewheeling diode. Please refer to the
design spreadsheet www.onsemi.com NCV890230 page
that helps with the calculation.
Output capacitor:
The minimum output capacitor value can be calculated
based on the specification for output voltage ripple:

− DVOUT the desired voltage ripple.
However, the ESR of the output capacitor also contributes
to the output voltage ripple, so to comply with the
requirement, the ESR cannot exceed RESRmax:
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
A thermal shutdown circuit inhibits switching, resets the
Soft−start circuit, and removes DRV voltage if internal
temperature exceeds a safe level. Switching is automatically
restored when temperature returns to a safe level.

Finally, the output capacitor must be able to sustain the ac
current (or RMS ripple current):
MINIMUM DROPOUT VOLTAGE
When operating at low input voltages, two parameters
play a major role in imposing a minimum voltage drop
across the regulator: the minimum off time (that sets the
maximum duty cycle), and the on state resistance.
When operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM),
the output voltage is equal to the input voltage multiplied by
the duty ratio. Because the NCV890230 needs a sufficient
bootstrap voltage to operate, its duty cycle cannot be 100%:
it needs a minimum off time (tOFFmin) to periodically re−fuel
the bootstrap capacitor CBST. This imposes a maximum duty
ratio DMAX = 1 − tOFFmin.FSW(min), with the switching
frequency being folded back down to FSW(min) = 500 kHz to
keep regulating at the lowest input voltage possible.
The drop due to the on−state resistance is simply the
voltage drop across the Switch resistance RDSON at the
given output current: VSWdrop = IOUT.RDSon.
Which leads to the maximum output voltage in low Vin
condition: VOUT = DMAX.VIN(min) − VSWdrop

(eq. 4)
Typically, with the recommended 4.7 mH inductor, two
ceramic capacitors of 10 mF each in parallel give very good
results.
Freewheeling diode:
The diode must be chosen according to its maximum
current and voltage ratings, and to thermal considerations.
As far as max ratings are concerned, the maximum reverse
voltage the diode sees is the maximum input voltage (with
some margin in case of ringing on the Switch node), and the
maximum forward current the peak current limit of the
NCV890230, ILIM.
The power dissipated in the diode is PDloss:

It can be designed in combination with an inductor to build
an input filter to filter out the ripple current in the source, in
order to reduce EMI conducted emissions.
For example, using a 4.7 mH input capacitor, it is easy to
calculate that an inductor of 200 nH will ensure that the
input filter has a cut−off frequency below 200 kHz (low
enough to attenuate the 2 MHz ripple).

Error Amplifier and Loop Transfer Function
− RD the dynamic resistance of the diode (extracted from
the V/I curve of the diode in its datasheet).
Then, knowing the thermal resistance of the package and
the amount of heatsinking on the PCB, the temperature rise
corresponding to this power dissipation can be estimated.
The error amplifier is a transconductance type amplifier.
The output voltage of the error amplifier controls the peak
inductor current at which the power switch shuts off. The
Current Mode control method employed allows the use of a
simple, type II compensation to optimize the dynamic
response according to system requirements.
Figure 29 shows the error amplifier with the
compensation components and the voltage feedback divider.

The bode plots of the open loop transfer function will
show the gain and phase margin of the system. The
compensation network is designed to make sure the system
has enough phase margin and bandwidth.
Design of the Compensation Network
Ri represents the equivalent sensing resistor which has a
value of 0.183 W, Se is the compensation slope which is
183 kV/S, Sn is the slope of the sensing resistor current
during on time. Fh(s) represents the sampling effect from the
current loop which has two poles at one half of the switching
frequency:

The function of the compensation network is to provide
enough phase margin at crossover frequency to stabilize the
system as well as to provide high gain at low frequency to
eliminate the steady state error of the output voltage. Please
refer to the design spreadsheet www.onsemi.com
NCV890230 page that helps with the calculation.
The design steps will be introduced through an example.
Example:
Vin = 15.5 V, Vout = 3.3 V, Rload = 1.65 W, Iout = 2 A, L =
4.7 mH, Cout = 20 mF (Resr = 7 mW)
The reference voltage of the feedback signal is 0.8 V and
to meet the minimum load requirements, select RFB1 =
100 W, RFB2 = 31.6 W.

be plotted as below:

The crossover frequency is chosen to be Fc = 70 kHz, the
power stage gain at this frequency is −4 dB (0.634) from
calculation. Then the gain of the feedback compensation
network must be 4 dB. Next is to decide the locations of one
zero and one pole of the compensator. The zero is to provide
phase boost at the crossover frequency and the pole is to
reject the noise of high frequency. In this example, a zero is
placed at 1/10 of the crossover frequency and a pole is placed
at 1/5 of the switching frequency (Fsw = 2 MHz):
Fz = 7000 Hz, Fp = 400000 Hz,

Note: there is an 18 pF capacitor at the output of the OTA

used, subtract this value from the calculated Cp. Figure 31
shows Cp is split into two capacitors. Cint is the 18 pF in the
IC. Cext is the extra capacitor added outside the IC.
