Description of each circuit (1)Reference voltage circuit The circuit generates the reference voltage (VREF) of 3.70V±1% compensated in temperature from VCC voltage. This voltages start to output when the undervoltage lockout protection (UVLO) is cancelled, and they stabilize after the supply voltage (VCC) reaches up to approx. 4.0V or higher. The voltage (VREF) outputs externally from REF Pin, therefore, it can serve as a stabilized power source for reference voltage of Error Amplifier and maximum output duty setting or the like. The output current circuit should be within 1mA. (In case of VCC=8V to 28V should be within 7mA) The VREF voltage also is used as a regulated power supply for IC’s internal blocks. VREF pin have to connect capacitors CREF for in order to stabilize voltages (To determine capacitance, refer to recommended operating conditions). 4 Vout1 6 7 8 21 20 19 Vout2 23 22 RT Value:lage OSC 1.3V 2 For PW M comparator IN1- FB1 IN2+ Er.AMP2 For PW M comparator IN2- FB2 IN3+ Er.AMP3 For PW M comparator IN3- FB3 (4)PWM comparator The PWM output generates from the oscillator output, the error amplifier output (FB1, FB2 and FB3) and CS voltage (CS1, CS2 and CS3) (Fig. 4). The oscillator output is compared with the preferred lower voltage between FB and CS for ch1 and ch3. While the preferred voltage is lower than oscillator output, the PWM output is low. While the preferred voltage is higher than oscillator output, the PWM output is high. Since the phase of Ch2 is the opposite phase of ch1 and ch3, higher voltage between FB2 and CS2 is preferred and while the preferred voltage is lower than the oscillator output, the PWM output 2 is high. (Cannot be observed externally) The output duty changes sharply around the minimum and the maximum output duty. This phenomenon occurs more conspicuously when operating in a high frequency (i.e. when the pulse width is narrow). Cautious care must be taken when using high frequency. The output polarity of OUT1, OUT2 changes according to the condition of SEL pin. (See Fig. 6) Fig.2 FB1 Fig.1 Er.AMP1 Fig.3 2.3V RT IN1+ Vout3 24 (2)Oscillator The oscillator generates triangular waveforms by charging and discharging the built-in capacitor. Any desired oscillation frequency can be obtained by setting the value of the resistor connected to RT Pin (Fig. 1). The voltage oscillates between approximately 1.3V and 2.3V in charging and discharging with almost the same gradients (Fig. 2). Your desired oscillation frequency can be determined by changing the gradient using the resistor (RT) connected to RT Pin. (Large RT: Low frequency, small RT: High frequency) The waveforms of oscillator cannot be observed from the outside because a Pin for this purpose is not provided. Approximately DC 1V is output to RT Pin. The oscillator output is connected to PWM comparator.

FB Pins (Pin, Pin19 and pin22) are the outputs of Error Amplifiers. Voltage Gain and phase compensation can be set by connecting a capacitor (C) and a resistor (R) between FB Pin and IN*(-) Pin.(Fig. 3) For more information about the connection for each output voltage of power supply, refer to Design Advice.

This circuit cuts off the output of all channels when the output voltage of DC-to-DC converter drops due to short circuit or overload. To set delay time for timer latch operation, a capacitor CCP should be connected to the CP pin (Fig. 7). (5)Soft start circuit This IC has a soft start function to protect DC-to-DC converter circuits from damage when starting operation. CS1 pin (Pin11), CS2 pin (pin14) and CS3 pin (Pin16) are used for soft start function of ch1, ch3 and ch2 respectively. (Fig. 5) When the supply voltage is applied to the VCC pin and UVLO is cancelled, capacitor CCS1, CCS2 and CCS3 is charged by VREF through the resistor RCS1 , RCS2 or RCS3. Therefore, CS1 and CS3 voltage gradually increases and CS2 voltage gradually decreases. Since CS1, CS2 and CS3 pin are connected to the PWM comparator internally, the pulses gradually widen and then the soft start function operates. (Fig. 6) The maximum duty cycle can be set by using the CS pins. (See Design Advice about the detail) R CS1 4 VREF 11 CS1 C CS2 4 VREF 14 C S2 R CS3 R CS2 C CS1 4 VREF 16 CS3 I CP 1 V CP C CP Fig.7 When one of the output voltage of the DC-to-DC converter drops due to short circuit or overload, the FB1 and FB3 pin voltage increases up to around the VREF voltage for ch1 and ch3, or the FB2 pin voltage drops down to around 0 V for ch2. When FB1 and FB3 pin voltage exceeds 3.2V(max.) or FB2 pin voltage falls below 0.4V(min.), constant-current source (2.5μA typ.) starts charging the capacitor CCP connected to the CP pin. If the voltage of the CP pin exceeds 3.2 V (max.), the circuit regards the case as abnormal. Then the IC is set to off latch mode and the output of all channels is shut off, (Fig. 8) and the current consumption become 4mA(typ.) The period (tp) between the occurrence of short-circuit in the converter output and setting to off latch mode can be calculated by the following equation: C CS3 Fig.5 tp[s ] = CCP × Oscillator output CP Error Amplifier 1,3 output CS1 ,CS3 pin voltage VTHCPON ICP VTHCPON: CP pin latched mode threshold voltage [V] ICP: CP charge source current[μA] CCP: capacitance of CP pin capacitor[μF] PW M output 1 ,3 CP pin voltage [V] 3.2V(max) OUT1 OUT3 Pch driv en (SEL3 :VREF) OUT3 Nch driv en (SEL3 :G ND) momentary short circuit short circuit VREF voltage 3.0V short circuit protection 2.0V Start-up 1.0V tp CS2 pin voltage Oscillator output Time t Error Amplifier 2 output Fig.8 You can reset off latched mode of the short-circuit protection by either of the following ways about 1) CP pin, or 2) VCC pin: 1) CP voltage = 0V 2) VCC voltage UVLO voltage (3.3V, typ.) or below PW M output 2 O UT2 Pch driv en (SEL2 :VREF) If the timer-latched mode is not necessary, connect the CP pin to GND.

The maximum peak current of the output stage is sink current of +800mA, and source current of - 800mA. The IC can also drive NPN and PNP transistors. The maximum current in such cases is ± 50mA. You must design the output current considering the rating of power dissipation. (See Design Advice) You can switch the types of external discrete MOSFETs by wiring of the SEL pins (Pin 3, Pin 5). For driving Nch MOS, connect the SEL pins to GND. For driving Pch MOS, connect the SEL pins to VREF. You can design buck converter or inverting converter by driving Pch MOS, and boost converter by driving Nch MOS. Connect them either to GND or to VREF surely. (8)Under voltage lockout circuit(UVLO) The IC contains a under voltage lockout circuit to protect the circuit from the damage caused by malfunctions when the supply voltage drops. When the supply voltage rises from 0V, the IC starts to operate at VCC of 3.3V(typ.) and outputs generate pulses. If a drop of the supply voltage occurs, it stops output at VCC of 3.2V(typ.). When it occurs, the CS1 and CS3 pin are turned to low level and the CS2 pin to high level, and then these pins are reset. Fuji Electric Systems Co., Ltd. AN-060E Rev.1.0 Jun-2010 17 http://www.fujielectric.co.jp/fdt/scd/ FA7711V 9. Design Advice (1)Setting the oscillation frequency As described at Section 8-(2), “Description of Each Circuit,” a desired oscillation frequency can be determined by the value of the resistor connected to the RT pin. When designing an oscillation frequency, you can set any frequency between 200kHz and 800kHz. You can obtain the oscillation frequency from the characteristic curve “Oscillation frequency (fosc) vs. timing resistor resistance (RT)” or the value can be approximately calculated by the following expression. To reset the soft start function, the voltage of CS pin is discharged with internal switch triggered by lowering the voltage of Power supply below the voltage of UVLO (3.3V, typ.). If Power supply restarts before the voltage is sufficiently discharged, the soft start function might not properly operate. Accordingly, cautious care must be taken about it. Vcc Threshold v oltge (3.3V typ.) fosc = 4.1× 10 3 × RT −0.905 CS pin v oltage V CSn 1.105 ⎛ 4.1× 10 3 ⎞ ⎟⎟ RT = ⎜⎜ ⎝ fosc ⎠ t0 fosc: oscillation frequency [kHz] RT :timing resistor [kΩ] This expression, however, can be used for rough calculation, the obtained value is not guaranteed. The operation frequency varies due to the conditions such as tolerance of the characteristics of the ICs, influence of noises, or external discrete components. When determining the values, examine the effectiveness of the values in an actual circuit. The timing resistor RT should be wired to the GND pin as shortly as possible because the RT pin is a high impedance pin and is easy affected by noises. (3)Setting the maximum output duty If you need to control the maximum output duty in the DC-DC converter circuit, you can control pulse width by connecting VREF pin to CS pin divided with resistors, as described in Fig. 10. The output duty of the voltage of CS pin in this case changes according to the operation frequency, as described in the chart of “CS pin voltage vs. Duty cycle” characteristic curves. Set the output duty accordingly based on your required operation frequency. When the maximum duty cycle is limited, CS pin voltage at start-up is described in Fig. 11, and the approximate value of soft start period can be obtained by the following expressions: (2)Determining soft start period The period from the start of charging the capacitor CCS to widening n% of output duty cycle can be roughly calculated by the following expression: (see Fig. 5 for symbols) 4 R1 For CS1: VREF ⎛ ⎞ ts1[ms ] = RCS1 ⋅ CCS1 ⋅ ln⎜ ⎟ ⎝ VREF − VCS1n ⎠ 11 R2 VREF CS1 R4 R3 C CS2 4 VREF 14 CS2 4 VREF 16 CS3 R5 R6 C CS1 C CS3 For CS2 Fig.10 ⎛ VREF ⎞ ts 2[ms ] = RCS 2 ⋅ CCS 2 ⋅ ln⎜ ⎟ ⎝ VCS 2n ⎠ R2 ・V REF R1+R2 R6 R5+R6 ・V REF CS1,3 pin v oltae V CS1n V CS3n For CS3 V CS2n R3 R3+R4 ・V REF VREF ⎛ ⎞ ts 3[ms ] = RCS 3 ⋅ CCS 3 ⋅ ln⎜ ⎟ ⎝ VREF − VCS 3n ⎠ ts CCS1,CCS2,CCS3 : Capacitance connected to CS* pin [μF] RCS1,RCS2,RCS3 : Resistance connected to CS* pin [kΩ] Fig.11 CS2 pin v oltge ts For CS1 VCS1 ⎛ ⎞ ts1[ms ] = R 0 ⋅ CCS1 ⋅ ln⎜ ⎟ ⎝ VCS1 − VCS1n ⎠ R1 ⋅ R 2 R2 R0 = VCS1 = ⋅VREF R1 + R 2 R1 + R 2 VCS*n represents the voltage of CS Pin in the output duty of n%, and it changes according to the operation frequency. The value is obtained simply from the chart of “CS Pin voltage vs. output duty cycle” characteristic curves. Charging of CS Pin begins after UVLO is cancelled. Note that the time from power-on of Power supply to start of charging Ccs* is t0, which is not zero as described in Fig. 8. Be careful. Fuji Electric Systems Co., Ltd.

And the voltage and the current applied to each pin should be also within the recommended operating conditions. If the pin voltage of OUT1, OUT2, or VREG becomes higher than the VCC pin voltage, the current flows from the pins to the VCC pin because parasitic three diode exist between the VCC pin and these pins. Be careful not to allow this current to flow.

This phenomenon occurs more conspicuously when operating in a high frequency (i.e. when the pulse width is narrow). Cautious care must be taken when using high frequency. (6)Performance of output stage The performance of output stages is the sink current (peak) of 800mA of and the source current (peak) of -800mA. Switching speed is effected by external switching device, especially at high frequency, so examine the external switching device and frequency carefully. If the performance of the ICs is not sufficient for your design, consider adding a buffer circuit to improve the performance. (4)Pull-up/Pull-down resistor at the output section The power supply for control blocks of OUT pin drivers is the VREF. The VREF voltage is not operated at the condition of IC’s power supply VCC below the UVLO voltage. Therefore, OUT* pins are unstable at VCC below the UVLO voltage. If you have this condition of VCC and possibility of some trouble by unstable OUT* pins, connect pull up or pull down resistor to OUT* pins. (Fig.12) (7)Loss Calculation Since it is difficult to measure IC loss directly, the calculation to obtain the approximate loss of the IC connected directly to a MOSFET is described below. When the supply voltage is VCC, the current consumption of the IC is ICCOP, the total input gate charge of the driven MOSFET is Qg and the switching frequency is fsw, the total loss Pd of the IC can be calculated by: Pd ≒ VCC*(ICCop+Qg*fsw). The value in this expression is influenced by the effects of the dependency of supply voltage, the characteristics of temperature, or the tolerance of parameter. Therefore, evaluate the appropriateness of IC loss sufficiently considering the range of values of above parameters under all conditions. For Nch driven VIN VCC 18 17 PVCC V REF OUT CTRL 9 10 PGND GND Example) ICCOP=7mA for VCC=12V in the case of a typical IC from the characteristics curve. Qg=10nC, fsw=560kHz, the IC loss ”Pd” is as follows. Pd≒12*(7mA+10nC*560kHz)≒151mW if two MOSFETs are driven under the same condition for 3 channels, Pd is as follows: Pd≒12*{7mA+3*(10nC*560kHz)}=286mW For Pch driven VIN VCC 18 17 PVCC V REF OUT CTRL 9 GND 10 PGND Fig.12 Fuji Electric Systems Co., Ltd. AN-060E Rev.1.0 Jun-2010 19 http://www.fujielectric.co.jp/fdt/scd/ FA7711V (8)Attention for driving bipolar transistor If you use bipolar transistor as a switching device, connect resistor RB between Base of transistor and OUT* pin, else there is a possibility of destroy the IC by over current because OUT* pin driver does not contain a current limit resistor. (Fig.13) Output current of OUT* pins are below 40mA (continuous). The connection of capacitor CB is effective for speed up the switching. R55 = R52 = 200k ohm and R56 = R53 = 1M ohm are selected, base resistor voltage of R52, R53, R55 and R56 are over 370mV and these satisfy “ 300mV condition ”. Therefore, this condition achieves normal transistor operation. Resistance of R57 and R58 should be smaller than 20% of above condition in order to obtain small hFE (9)ON/OFF control ON/OFF control using CS pin is not available when timer latch function is enable. In order to carry out ON/OFF control with CS pin, CP pin should be connected to GND so that timer latch function will be disable as shown in Fig.14. For ch.1 and ch.3, output pulses are disabled by lowering CS pin voltage around zero. Ch.1 is controlled by CS1 pin and ch.3 is controlled by CS3. For ch.2, pulling up CS2 pin voltage to VREF voltage disables output pulses. Each channel will re-start operation with soft-start function when CS pin is opened. of “ 20 ” which achieves low saturation voltage of Q**. In this case, if Vcc = 17V (min.) and voltage drop of R57 and R58 = Vcc - 2V, R57 or R58 < 20% * (17V - 2V ) / (1.85 uA + 0.37 uA ) = 1.35 M ohm VIN VCC Fig.15 shows ON/OFF control method for Ch.1 and Ch.3 when timer latched short protection is used for all channels. Please take care of that Ch.2 is not suitable for ON/OFF control, because the error amplifier of Ch.2 sinks large current ( much larger than 2.7mA ) for High Voltage of FB2 pin to stop switching of OUT2 pin. 18 17 PVCC OUT RB CB 10 9 PGND GND The calculation example of ON/OFF circuit in Fig.15 VIN is as follows.

Output Source Current “ ISOFB ” 10 PGND GND = 185uA ( typ. ) for FB1 pin and FB3 pin Fig.13 The base current ratio of QFB* and QCS* should be same as the collector current ratio for each channel. ON/OFF CTRL ( above case : collector current ratio = 185 / 37 = 5 ch1 -> Base resistor ratio = R56 / R55 = R53 / R52 = 5 ) C CS1 Base resistor voltage drop should be larger than ch3 300mV in order to obtain good sharing of base current for QFB* and QCS*.

The Internal circuit of IC is not stable before VREF pin voltage rises to about 1V. Therefore, It may cause an error pulses that a voltage is applied to PVCC pin before VREG pin voltage raises enough at start up. The error pulse may appear when Vcc rise time from 0V to 12V is less than about a few hundred µs. In such a case, check the influence of the error pulse such as blowout of a fuse. On the other hand, if rise time of Vcc is not so short, the error pulse will not appear. (11)Protection from negative voltage apply If rather large negative voltage is applied to any pins of this IC, internal parasitic elements start operating, and they may cause malfunctions. Accordingly, the negative voltage, which is applied to each Pin of the ICs, must be kept above -0.3V. In the case of the OUT* pin, in particular, the oscillation of voltage occurring after MOSFET’s turning off can be applied to the OUT* pin through MOSFET’s parasitic capacitance. As a result, there is a possibility that the negative voltage is applied to the OUT* pin. If this negative voltage reaches -0.3V or below, connect an Schottky barrier diode between OUT* pin and GND as shown in Fig. 21. The Schottky barrier diode’s forward direction voltage clamps the voltage applied to the OUT* pin. In this case, use the Schottky barrier diode with low voltage drop in forward direction. Other pins should be kept above -0.3 V also based on the same reasons. 12V In the case of an inverting circuit, the negative voltage charged on the output capacitor will be applied to VREF pin just after turning off the input voltage. If input voltage is turned on during applying a negative voltage to VREF pin, the negative voltage may lead malfunction. This problem is likely to occur in the case of short interruption. In such a case, re-start the converter after the output capacitor is discharged enough or connect a schottky barrier diode with low forward voltage between VREF pin and GND as shown in Fig.20. about a few hundredμsec VREF about 1V OUT(Nch drive) Fig.21 (13)Design of phase compensation A switching power supply supervises output voltage with error amplifier, constitutes a closed loop, and is stabilizing voltage by negative feedback. Phase delay with a smoothing filter and Gain with the main switching device, etc. is contained in the negative feedback circuit, and those sum totals become the phase and the gain in a closed loop. The phase and the gain have the frequency characteristic. In a negative feedback circuit, if the gain remains 0dB or more at the frequency of 180 degrees delayed phase, a circuit will be oscillated. In order to prevent oscillation, it is necessary to adjust the phase and the gain of error amplifier. (Fig.22) Since especially the switching power supply has repeated ON and OFF at high speed, the minute high frequency element is contained in the output, and if you setup the frequency characteristic of the error amplifier beyond necessity, it has a possibility of unstable operate and oscillate. The gain when the phase turns 180 degrees calls gain margin, the phase when the gain becomes 0dB calls phase margin. Above 10dB of gain margin and above 50 degrees of phase margin are desirable generally and set to this condition in phase compensation. (Fig.22) However, gain margin and phase margin against transient response (sudden change of load, etc.) are participate as trade-off, therefore when gain margin and phase margin is larger, transient response becomes margin-less condition, furthermore over shoot and under shoot of converter voltage is larger.
