APPLICATION NOTE
Overview
applications, a Pspice model of the NCP1529 has been
developed. There are two typical applications using the
NCP1529. Figure 1 shows a typical simulation circuit for a
DC−DC application. Figure 2 shows another typical
simulation circuit for a LED driver application. This
simulation note is to illustrate how to use the NCP1529
Pspice model.
The NCP1529 is a synchronous step−down DC−DC
converter for portable applications powered by one cell
Li−ion or three cell Alkaline/NiCd/NiMH batteries. The
device is able to deliver up to 1.0 A on an output voltage
range externally adjustable from 0.9 V to 3.9 V. The device
also has a built−in 1.7 MHz (nominal) oscillator. Automatic
switching PWM/PFM mode offers improved system
efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Download Pspice Model
Users can download the NCP1529 Pspice model from ON Semiconductor website, which is a zipped file
(NCP1529_PSPICE.ZIP) including one Pspice model lib file (NCP1529_PSPICE.LIB), one schematic symbol olb file
(NCP1529_PSPICE.OLB), and two design dsn files (NCP1529_DCDC.DSN and NCP1529_LED.DSN). Save all the
extracted files in a folder.
Model Installation and Simulation
1. Create New Project
Users need to run ORCAD Capture or Allegro Design Entry CIS first, and then create a new blank project in Capture as shown
in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Create New Blank Simulation Project
2. Import Design File
Depending on the application to be simulated, users need to select either the design file “NCP1529_DCDC.DSN” or
“NCP1529_LED.DSN” and add it into the Design Resources to replace the blank design.
Figure 4. Import Design File into Design Resources
3. Import Symbol File
Add the symbol file “NCP1529_PSPICE.OLB” into the Design Resources as shown in Figure 5.

4. Open Schematic
Open the schematic in the “Schematic1” under the design file as shown in Figure 6. Users can edit the schematic according
to real applications.
Figure 6. Open Schematic in Design File
5. Create Simulation Profile and Run Simulation
In order to run simulation, a simulation profile has to be created as shown in Figure 7. In the simulation setting of the
simulation profile, users need to use browser to add the Pspice lib file “NCP1529_PSPICE.LIB” into the design library of the
simulation configuration files, as shown in Figure 8.

AND9004/D
To reduce simulation time, a 100 ms (instead of 310 ms in the NCP1529 datasheet) internal soft start has been implemented
in the model. A typical time−domain simulation profile setting is shown in Figure 9. Users can review simulation waveforms
in Pspice A/D after running a simulation.

5.1 Simulation with DC−DC Application Circuit
Figure 1 shows the schematic included in the design file “NCP1529_DCDC.DSN”, which is a typical simulation circuit for
a DC−DC application. To get detail application information, please refer to datasheet “NCP5219−D”. An IPWL current source
“Iout” is employed to simulate a load current variation in the output of the DC−DC converter. Figure 10 shows an example of
the simulation results regarding to a load transient event.

5.2 Simulation with LED Application Circuit
Figure 2 shows the schematic included in the design file “NCP1529_LED.DSN”, which is a typical simulation circuit for
a LED driver application. The NCP1529 operates with an external current mirror to regulate LED current. To get detail
application information, please refer to application note “AND8465/D”. In this simulation circuit, a LED diode is modeled by
a circuitry incorporating a diode “D1”, a DC voltage source “V12”, and a resistor “R10”. Figure 11 shows an example of the
simulation results regarding to the regulation of the LED current I(D1).
