Current Limited Level vs. Duty Ratio www.fairchildsemi.com 7 The FAN8303 is a monolithic, non-synchronous, current-mode, step-down regulator with internal power MOSFETs. It achieves 2A continuous output current over a wide input supply range from 5V to 23V with excellent load and line regulation. The output voltage can be regulated as low as 0.6V. The FAN8303 uses current-mode operation that provides fast transient response and eases loop stabilization. The FAN8303 requires a minimum number of readily available standard external components. Inductor Selection A higher inductor value lowers ripple current. The inductor value can be calculated as: L= VOUT fS ⋅ ΔIL ⎛ VOUT ⎜1 − ⎜ VIN ⎝ ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠ (1) where: fs is the switching frequency; Current Mode PWM Control Loop VOUT is the output voltage; FAN8303 uses current-mode PWM control scheme. The peak inductor current is modulated in each switching cycle by an internal op-amp output signal to achieve the output voltage regulation. An internal slope compensation circuit is included to avoid sub-harmonic oscillation at duty cycle greater than 50%. Currentmode control provides cycle-by-cycle current limit protection and superior regulation control loop response compared to the traditional voltage-mode control. VIN is the input supply voltage; and ΔIL Is the inductor ripple current. Considering worst case, the equation is changed to: L= In normal operation, the high-side MOSFET is turned on at the beginning of each switching cycle, which causes the current in the inductor to build up. The currentcontrol loop senses the inductor current by sensing the voltage across the high-side senseFET during on time. The output of the current-sense amplifier is summed with the slope compensation signal and the combined signal is compared with the error amplifier output to generate the PWM signal. As the inductor current ramps up to the controlled value, the high-side MOSFET is turned off and the inductor current reaches zero through a freewheeling diode. In light-load condition, the high-side switch may be kept off for several cycles to improve efficiency. ⎛ ⎜ 1 − VOUT ⎜ VIN ,MAX ⎝ ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠ (2) Input Capacitor Selection To prevent high-frequency switching current passing to the input, the input capacitor impedance at the switching frequency must be less than input source impedance. High-value, small, inexpensive, lower-ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended. 10µF ceramic capacitors should be adequate for 2A applications. Output Capacitor Selection A larger output capacitor value keeps the output ripple voltage smaller. The formula of output ripple ΔVOUT is: ⎛ 1 ΔVOUT ≅ ΔIL ⎜⎜ ESR + ⋅ ⋅ fS 8 C OUT ⎝ Short-Circuit Protection The FAN8303 protects output short circuit by switching frequency fold-back. The oscillator frequency is reduced to about 45kHz when the output is shorted to ground. This frequency fold-back allows the inductor current more time to decay to prevent potential run-away condition. The oscillator frequency switches to 370kHz as VOUT rises gradually from 0V back to regulated level. ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠ (3) where COUT is the output capacitor and ESR is the equivalent series resistance of the output capacitor. Output Voltage Programming The output voltage is set by a resistor divider, according to the following equation: Slope Compensation and Inductor Peak Current R2 ⎞ ⎛ VOUT = 0.6⎜1 + ⎟ R3 ⎠ ⎝ The slope compensation provides stability in constant frequency architecture by preventing sub-harmonic oscillations at high duty cycles. It is accomplished internally by adding a compensating ramp to the inductor current signal at duty cycles in excess of 50%. (4) Freewheeling Diode An output freewheeling diode carries load current when the high-side switch is turned off. Therefore, use a Schottky diode to reduce loss due to diode forward voltage and recovery time. The diode should have at least 2A current rating and a reverse blocking voltage greater than the maximum input voltage. The diode should be close to the SW node to keep traces short and reduce ringing. Maximum Load Current at Low VIN The FAN8303 is able to operate with input supply voltage as low as 5V, although the maximum allowable output current is reduced as a function of duty cycle (see Figure 15). Additionally, at this low input voltage; if the duty cycle is greater than 50%, slope compensation reduces allowable output current. © 2008 Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation FAN8303 • Rev. 1.0.0 VOUT fS ⋅ ΔI L,MAX FAN8303 — 2A 23V Non-Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC Regulator Functional Description www.fairchildsemi.com 8 A capacitor, CSS, connected between the SS pin and GND helps control the rate of rise on the output voltage. When EN is HIGH and VIN is within the operating range, a trimmed bias current charges the capacitor connected to the SS pin, causing the voltage to rise. The first step of the compensation design is choosing the compensation resistor (RC) to set the crossover frequency by the following equation: The time it takes this voltage to reach 0.6V and the PWM output to reach regulation is given by: tRISE ( ms ) ≈ 0.1 • CSS RC = (5) where CSS is in nF. 2π ⋅ COUT ⋅ fC ⋅ VOUT GCS ⋅ GEA ⋅ VFB (10) Loop Compensation where VFB is reference voltage and GCS is the current sense gain, which is roughly the output current divided by the voltage at COMP (2A/V). The goal of the compensation design is to shape the converter frequency response to achieve high DC gain and fast transient, while maintaining loop stability. FAN8303 employs peak current-mode control for fast transient response and to help simplify the loop to a one-pole and one-zero system. The next step is choosing the compensation capacitor (CC) to achieve the desired phase margin. For applications with typical inductor values, setting the compensation zero, fZ2, to below one fourth of the crossover frequency provides sufficient phase margin. Determine the (CC) value by the following equation: The system pole is calculated by the equation: fP1 = 1 2π ⋅ COUT ⋅ RL CC = (6) The system zero is due to the output capacitor and its ESR system zero is calculated by following equation: fz1 = 2π ⋅ COUT ⋅ ESR 1 f < S 2π ⋅ COUT ⋅ ESR 2 (7) CA = The pole is calculated by the following equation: GEA 2π ⋅ CC ⋅ AVEA (12) If required, add the second compensation capacitor (CA) to set the pole fP3 at the location of the ESR zero. Determine the (CA) value by the equation: The characteristics of the control system are controlled by a series capacitor and resistor network connected to the COMP pin to set the pole and zero. fp 2 = (11) Determine if the second compensation capacitor (CA) is required. It is required if the ESR zero of the output capacitor is located at less than half of the switching frequency. where RL is the load resistor value (VOUT/IOUT). 1 2 π ⋅ RC ⋅ fC (8) COUT ⋅ ESR RC FAN8303 — 2A 23V Non-Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC Regulator The system crossover frequency (fC), where the control loop has unity gain, is recommended for setting the 1/10th of switching frequency. Generally, higher fC means faster response to load transients, but can result in instability if not properly compensated. Soft-Start (13) SW FAN8303 VO where: _ GEA is the error amplifier transconductance (380µA/V); PWM modulator AVEA is the error amplifier voltage gain (400V/V); and CC is the compensation capacitor. 1 2π ⋅ CC ⋅ RC RC CA CC (9) where RC is compensation resistor. © 2008 Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation FAN8303 • Rev. 1.0.0 0.6V COMP Zero is due to the compensation capacitor (CC) and resistor (RC) calculated by the following equation: f z2 = + FB Figure 16. Block Diagram of Compensation www.fairchildsemi.com 9 Layout Consideration Assume the VIN voltage is 12V with a 10% tolerance. The maximum load current is 2A and the output voltage is set to 2.5V at 2A maximum load. Calculate the inductor value from the following formula: As with all switching power supplies, careful attention to PCB layout is important to the design. A few design rules should be implemented to ensure good layout: VOUT L= fOSC ⋅ ΔI L,MAX ⎛ ⎜1 − VOUT ⎜ VIN ,MAX ⎝ ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠ (14) Substituting VOUT=2.5V, VIN,MAX=12V, Δ IL,MAX=0.4A, and fS = 370kHz in the formula gives: 2.5 ⎞ 2.5 ⎛ L= ⎜1 − ⎟ = 13 μH 370kHz(0.4 A ) ⎝ 12 ⎠ Keep the high-current traces and load connections as short as possible. Place the input capacitor, the inductor, the freewheeling diode, and the output capacitor as close as possible to the IC terminals. Keep the loop area between the SW node, freewheeling diode, inductor, and output capacitor as small as possible. Minimizing ground loops reduces EMI issues. Route high-dV/dt signals, such as SW node, away from the error amplifier input/output pins. Keep components connected to these pins close to the pins. To effectively remove heat from the MOSFETs, use wide land areas with appropriate thermal vias. (15) A 15µH inductor is chosen for this application. If the VOUT voltage is 2.5V, choose R2=18kΩ(1%), and R3 can be calculated from: ⎛ 0.6 ⎞ R3 = 18kΩ⎜ ⎟ = 5.68kΩ ⎝ 2.5 − 0.6 ⎠ (16) Choose R3=5.6kΩ (1%). In this application, with the desired crossover frequency at 30kHz, RC value is calculated as follows: RC = 2π ⋅ 22μF ⋅ 30kHz ⋅ 2.5V 2 A / V ⋅ 380 μA / V ⋅ 0.6V (17) If RC=22.72kΩ , choose 22kΩ for the design. If RC=22kΩ , use the following equation to get CC: CC = 2 (18) π ⋅ 22kΩ ⋅ 30kHz CC= 0.965nF, choose 1nF for the design.
