Functional Description
The AAT1121 is a high performance 250mA,
1.5MHz monolithic step-down converter designed
to operate with an input voltage range of 2.7V to
5.5V. The converter operates at 1.5MHz, which
minimizes the size of external components. Typical
values are 3.3µH for the output inductor and 4.7µF
for the ceramic output capacitor.
The device is designed to operate with an output
voltage as low as 0.6V. Power devices are sized for
250mA current capability while maintaining over
1121.2007.03.1.2
90% efficiency at full load. Light load efficiency is
maintained at greater than 80% down to 1mA of
load current.
At dropout, the converter duty cycle increases to
100% and the output voltage tracks the input voltage minus the RDS(ON) drop of the P-channel highside MOSFET.
A high-DC gain error amplifier with internal compensation controls the output. It provides excellent
transient response and load/line regulation. Soft
start eliminates any output voltage overshoot when
the enable or the input voltage is applied.

AAT1121
1.5MHz, 250mA Step-Down Converter
Control Loop
The AAT1121 is a 250mA current mode step-down
converter. The current through the P-channel
MOSFET (high side) is sensed for current loop
control, as well as short-circuit and overload protection. A fixed slope compensation signal is added
to the sensed current to maintain stability for duty
cycles greater than 50%. The peak current mode
loop appears as a voltage-programmed current
source in parallel with the output capacitor.
The output of the voltage error amplifier programs
the current mode loop for the necessary peak
switch current to force a constant output voltage for
all load and line conditions. Internal loop compensation terminates the transconductance voltage
error amplifier output. The error amplifier reference
is fixed at 0.6V.
Soft Start / Enable
Soft start increases the inductor current limit point in
discrete steps when the input voltage or enable
input is applied. It limits the current surge seen at
the input and eliminates output voltage overshoot.
When pulled low, the enable input forces the
AAT1121 into a low-power, non-switching state. The
total input current during shutdown is less than 1µA.
Current Limit and
Over-Temperature Protection
For overload conditions, the peak input current is limited. As load impedance decreases and the output
voltage falls closer to zero, more power is dissipated
internally, raising the device temperature. Thermal
protection completely disables switching when internal dissipation becomes excessive, protecting the
device from damage. The junction over-temperature
threshold is 140°C with 15°C of hysteresis.
Under-Voltage Lockout
Internal bias of all circuits is controlled via the VIN
power. Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) guarantees
sufficient VIN bias and proper operation of all internal circuits prior to activation.

Applications Information
Inductor Selection
The step-down converter uses peak current mode
control with slope compensation to maintain stability
for duty cycles greater than 50%. The output inductor value must be selected so the inductor current
down slope meets the internal slope compensation
requirements. The internal slope compensation for
the adjustable and low-voltage fixed versions of the
AAT1121 is 0.45A/µsec. This equates to a slope
compensation that is 75% of the inductor current
down slope for a 1.8V output and 3.0µH inductor.

For most designs, the AAT1121 operates with an
inductor value of 1µH to 4.7µH. Table 1 displays
inductor values for the AAT1121 with different output
voltage options.
Manufacturer's specifications list both the inductor
DC current rating, which is a thermal limitation, and
the peak current rating, which is determined by the
saturation characteristics. The inductor should not
show any appreciable saturation under normal load
conditions. Some inductors may meet the peak and
average current ratings yet result in excessive losses due to a high DCR. Always consider the losses
associated with the DCR and its effect on the total
converter efficiency when selecting an inductor.

Select a 4.7µF to 10µF X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor for the input. To estimate the required input

The term VIN ⎝ VIN ⎠ appears in both the input
voltage ripple and input capacitor RMS current
equations and is a maximum when VO is twice VIN.
This is why the input voltage ripple and the input
capacitor RMS current ripple are a maximum at
50% duty cycle.
The input capacitor provides a low impedance loop
for the edges of pulsed current drawn by the
AAT1121. Low ESR/ESL X7R and X5R ceramic
capacitors are ideal for this function. To minimize
stray inductance, the capacitor should be placed as
closely as possible to the IC. This keeps the high
frequency content of the input current localized,
minimizing EMI and input voltage ripple.
The proper placement of the input capacitor (C1)
can be seen in the evaluation board layout in
Figure 2.
A laboratory test set-up typically consists of two
long wires running from the bench power supply to
the evaluation board input voltage pins. The inductance of these wires, along with the low-ESR
ceramic input capacitor, can create a high Q network that may affect converter performance. This
problem often becomes apparent in the form of
excessive ringing in the output voltage during load
transients. Errors in the loop phase and gain measurements can also result.
Since the inductance of a short PCB trace feeding
the input voltage is significantly lower than the
power leads from the bench power supply, most
applications do not exhibit this problem.
11
AAT1121
1.5MHz, 250mA Step-Down Converter
In applications where the input power source lead
inductance cannot be reduced to a level that does
not affect the converter performance, a high ESR
tantalum or aluminum electrolytic should be placed
in parallel with the low ESR, ESL bypass ceramic.
This dampens the high Q network and stabilizes
the system.
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor limits the output ripple and
provides holdup during large load transitions. A
4.7µF to 10µF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor typically provides sufficient bulk capacitance to stabilize the output during large load transitions and has
the ESR and ESL characteristics necessary for low
output ripple. For enhanced transient response
and low temperature operation application, a 10µF
(X5R, X7R) ceramic capacitor is recommended to
stabilize extreme pulsed load conditions.
The output voltage droop due to a load transient is
dominated by the capacitance of the ceramic output capacitor. During a step increase in load current, the ceramic output capacitor alone supplies
the load current until the loop responds. Within two
or three switching cycles, the loop responds and
the inductor current increases to match the load
current demand. The relationship of the output voltage droop during the three switching cycles to the
output capacitance can be estimated by:
COUT =
3 · ΔILOAD
VDROOP · FS
Once the average inductor current increases to the
DC load level, the output voltage recovers. The
above equation establishes a limit on the minimum
value for the output capacitor with respect to load
transients.
The internal voltage loop compensation also limits
the minimum output capacitor value to 4.7µF. This
is due to its effect on the loop crossover frequency
(bandwidth), phase margin, and gain margin.
Increased output capacitance will reduce the
crossover frequency with greater phase margin.
The maximum output capacitor RMS ripple current
is given by:
IRMS(MAX) =
1
VOUT · (VIN(MAX) - VOUT)
L · F · VIN(MAX)
2· 3
·
Dissipation due to the RMS current in the ceramic
output capacitor ESR is typically minimal, resulting in
less than a few degrees rise in hot-spot temperature.
Adjustable Output Resistor Selection
Resistors R1 and R2 of Figure 1 program the output
to regulate at a voltage higher than 0.6V. To limit the
bias current required for the external feedback resistor string while maintaining good noise immunity, the
suggested value for R2 is 59kΩ. Decreased resistor
values are necessary to maintain noise immunity on
the FB pin, resulting in increased quiescent current.
Table 2 summarizes the resistor values for various
output voltages.

AAT1121
1.5MHz, 250mA Step-Down Converter
For the condition where the step-down converter is
in dropout at 100% duty cycle, the total device dissipation reduces to:
Thermal Calculations
There are three types of losses associated with
the AAT1121 step-down converter: switching losses, conduction losses, and quiescent current losses. Conduction losses are associated with the
RDS(ON) characteristics of the power output switching devices. Switching losses are dominated by
the gate charge of the power output switching
devices. At full load, assuming continuous conduction mode (CCM), a simplified form of the losses is
given by:
PTOTAL =
2
O
I
PTOTAL = IO2 · RDSON(H) + IQ · VIN
Since RDS(ON), quiescent current, and switching
losses all vary with input voltage, the total losses
should be investigated over the complete input
voltage range.
Given the total losses, the maximum junction temperature can be derived from the θJA for the
TDFN22-8 package which is 50°C/W.
· (RDSON(H) · VO + RDSON(L) · [VIN - VO])
VIN
TJ(MAX) = PTOTAL · ΘJA + TAMB
+ (tsw · F · IO + IQ) · VIN
IQ is the step-down converter quiescent current.
The term tsw is used to estimate the full load stepdown converter switching losses.

Layout
The suggested PCB layout for the AAT1121 is
shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4. The following guidelines should be used to help ensure a proper layout.
1. The input capacitor (C1) should connect as
closely as possible to VP (Pin 1), PGND (Pin 8),
and GND (Pin 3)
2. C2 and L1 should be connected as closely as
possible. The connection of L1 to the LX pin
should be as short as possible. Do not make the
node small by using narrow trace. The trace
should be kept wide, direct and short.
3. The feedback pin (Pin 4) should be separate
from any power trace and connect as closely as
possible to the load point. Sensing along a
Figure 2: AAT1121 Evaluation Board
Top Side Layout.
high-current load trace will degrade DC load
regulation. Feedback resistors should be
placed as closely as possible to the FB pin (Pin
4) to minimize the length of the high impedance feedback trace. If possible, they should
also be placed away from the LX (switching
node) and inductor to improve noise immunity.
4. The resistance of the trace from the load return
to PGND (Pin 8) and GND (Pin 3) should be
kept to a minimum. This will help to minimize
any error in DC regulation due to differences in
the potential of the internal signal ground and
the power ground.
5. A high density, small footprint layout can be
achieved using an inexpensive, miniature, nonshielded, high DCR inductor.
