Equivalent circuit 1k VIN 4.8M 3 ILIM For current detection. Sink current is about 55uA. The current limiter comparator works when an external resistor is connected between this pin and VIN, and if the voltage of this resistor is less than the voltage of RSNS then PchMOS is turned off. This operation is reset each PWM pulse. 4 VIN Power pin. Monitored by the UVLO function.

Operation explanation 9.1 Power-saving feature This IC has power-saving feature to enhance efficiency at light load. By shutting down unnecessary circuits, operating current of the IC is minimized and high efficiency is realized. 9.2 Output voltage setting The output voltage is set by resistor R4 (Between VOUT and FB) and resistor R5 (Between FB and GND). The output voltage is determined by the following expression (1). R4 R4 VOUT = (1 + R5 ) VREF = (1 + R5 ) 1.26 [V] (1) ex) The resistor that sets the output voltage to 5V are R4=470k and R5=160k. 470×103 VOUT = (1 + 160×103 ) 1.26 = 4.96 [V] (2) 9.4 Soft start setting Soft start time (TSS) is set with the capacitor C7 (Between SS and GND). TSS is determined by the following expression (3). VREF 1.26 TSS = C7 I = C7 [s] (3) 2.0 10-6 SS ex) Where C7=2200pF, TSS is 1.38ms. 1.26 TSS = 2200 10-12 = 1.386 [ms] (4) 2.0 10-6 Graph1. R7 vs FOSC 2500 2000 FOSC [kHz] 9.3 Switching frequency setting The switching frequency (FOSC) is set by resistor R7 (Between RT and GND). The relation of resistor R7 with FOSC is shown in Graph 1. And please set FOSC taking the minimum on-time =200ns into consideration. ex) Where R7=470kΩ, FOSC is 330kHz. 1500 1000 500 0 10 100 R7 [kΩ] 1000 9.5 Overcurrent protection setting When the RSNS pin exceeds the overcurrent limit value for 15 cycles of the oscillatory frequency, the overcurrent protection detects the overcurrent state, and stops the IC. Overcurrent detection voltage (VLIM) is determined by the resistor R2 (between VIN and ILIM) and the reference current (ILIM1). The overcurrent detection voltage (VLIM) is determined by the following expression. VLIM = R2 ILIM1 [V] (5) ex) Where R2=2.7kΩ, ILIM1=55uA, VILIM is 0.1485V. VLIM = 2.7 103 55 10-6 = 0.1485 [V] (6) When the current sensing resistor R1 is 30mΩ, the value of the overcurrent is 4.95A. You can select R1 from 20m to 100m according to the above-mentioned figure which shows the relationship between RSNS and pulse width. 9.6 Hiccup Setting The stop time of the overcurrent protection is determined by the capacitor (C8). IC restarts when the C-HICCUP pin exceeds 1.26V. C8 VtHIC C8 1.26 THIC = = [s] (7) IHIC 2.0 10-6 ex) Where C8=22000pF, THIC is 13.86msec. THIC = 22000 10-12 1.26 = 13.86[ms] 2.0 10-6 (8) 9.7 Power good function The Output voltage is observed with the voltage of the FB pin. The PG pin turns “Low” when the voltage of FB pin is about 1.05V or less. Because the PG pin is open-drain, the PG pin can be Wired-OR. 11 / 21 LV5068V Fig. Timing chart: Hiccup overcurrent protection / Power good function 9.8 External synchronous frequency LV5068V performs the synchronous operation by inputting external signal in continuous current mode. The synchronous frequency=FSYNC inputted to the SYNC pin shall be set higher than FOSC or lower than twice the FOSC. If FSYNC is higher than twice the FOSC, the amplitude of internal slope becomes low and the gain becomes high. So FSYNC is determined by the following expression. FOSC < FSYNC < 2 FOSC When synchronous operation is not used, make sure to connect the SYNC pin to GND.

Selection of main parts 11.1 Choke coil When conditions for input voltage, output voltage and ripple current are defined, the following equation (9) gives inductance value. Make sure to set ripple current (∆IR) to be lower than 20% of the output current. L = VIN-VOUT Ton ∆IR Ton = 1 {((VIN - VOUT) (VOUT + VF)) + 1} FOSC FOSC VF VIN VOUT : Oscillatory Frequency : Forward voltage of Schottky Barrier diode : Input voltage : Output voltage (9) ・Inductor current: Peak value (IRP) Current peak value (IRP) of the inductor is given by the equation (10). VIN-VOUT IRP = Iout + Ton (10) 2L Make sure that rating current value of the inductor is higher than a peak value of ripple current. ・Inductor current: ripple current (∆IR) Ripple current (∆IR) is given by the equation (11). VIN-VOUT Ton (11) ΔIR = L When load current (Iout) is less than 1/2 of the ripple current, inductor current flows discontinuously. 11.2 Output capacitor Make sure to use a capacitor with high frequency impedance for switching power supply because a large ripple current flows through output capacitor. Effective value is given by the equation (12) because the ripple current (AC) that flows through output capacitor is sawtooth wave. VOUT (VIN - VOUT) 1 IC_OUT = [Arms] (12) 23 L FOSC VIN 11.3 Input capacitor Ripple current flows through input capacitor which is higher than that of the output capacitors. Therefore, caution is also required for allowable ripple current value. The effective value of the ripple current which flows through input capacitor is given by the equation (13). IC_IN = D (1 - D) IOUT [Arms] (13) TON VOUT D= T = V IN In (13), D signifies the ratio between ON/OFF period. When the value is 0.5, the ripple current is at a maximum. Make sure that the input capacitor does not exceed the allowable ripple current value given by (13). With (13), if VIN=24V, VOUT=5V, IOUT=3.0A and FOSC=330 kHz, then IC_IN value is about 1.22Arms. In the board wiring from input capacitor, VIN to GND, make sure that wiring is wide enough to keep impedance low because of the current fluctuation. Make sure to connect input capacitor near output capacitor to lower voltage bound due to regeneration current. When change of load current is excessive (IOUT: high low), the power of output electric capacitor is regenerated to input capacitor. If input capacitor is small, input voltage increases. Therefore, you need to implement a large input capacitor. Regeneration power changes according to the change of output voltage, inductance of a coil and load current. 19 / 21 LV5068V 11.4 External phase compensation components This IC adopts the power saving feature which requires electronic capacitor with low ESR and solid polymer capacitor (e.g. OS capacitor), which are used as output capacitors for phase compensation. The frequency characteristic of this IC consists of the following transfer functions. (1) Output resistance breeder : HR (2) Voltage gain of error amplifier : GVEA Current gain : GMEA (3) Impedance of phase compensation external element : ZC (4) Current sense loop gain : GCS (5) Output smoothing impedance : ZO OSC Current sence loop CLK Fig. LV5068V compensation networks Closed loop gain is obtained with the following formula (14). G = HR • GMER • ZC • GCS • ZO (14) The table of compensation values for 330 kHz is provided below electronic capacitor with low ESR.

Where RESR of output capacitor is high, CX is required for compensation. CX can be determined by: RESR CO CX = RC The zero-cross frequency required in the actual system board, in other word, transient response is adjusted by RC. Also, if the influence of noise is significant, use of CC or CX with higher value is recommended. 20 / 21 LV5068V ON Semiconductor and the ON logo are registered trademarks of Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC (SCILLC).
