BL8024 1A 1.5MHz 6V Synchronous Buck Converter DESCRIPTION FEATURES The BL8024 is a high-efficiency, DC-to-DC stepdown switching regulators, capable of delivering up to 1A of output current. The device operates from an input voltage range of 2.6V to 6.0V and provides an output voltage from 0.6V to VIN, making the BL8024 ideal for low voltage power conversions. Running at a fixed frequency of 1.5MHz allows the use of small external components, such as ceramic input and output caps, as well as small inductors, while still providing low output ripples. This low noise output along with its excellent efficiency achieved by the internal synchronous rectifier, making BL8024 an ideal green replacement for large power consuming linear regulators. Internal soft-start control circuitry reduces inrush current. Short-circuit and thermal-overload protection improves design reliability.

The device operates in pulse-width modulation (PWM) at 1.5MHz from a 2.6V to 5.5V input voltage and provides an output voltage from 0.6V to VIN, making the BL8024 ideal for on-board postregulation applications. An internal synchronous rectifier improves efficiency and eliminates the typical Schottky free-wheeling diode. Using the on resistance of the internal high-side MOSFET to sense switching currents eliminates current-sense resistors, further improving efficiency and cost. turns on. BL8024 utilizes a frequency fold-back mode to prevent overheating during short-circuit output conditions. The device enters frequency fold-back mode when the FB voltage drops below 200mV, limiting the current to 1.5A (typ) and reducing power dissipation. Normal operation resumes upon removal of the short-circuit condition. Soft-start BL8024 has a internal soft-start circuitry to reduce supply inrush current during startup conditions. When the device exits under-voltage lockout (UVLO), shutdown mode, or restarts following a thermal-overload event, the l soft-start circuitry slowly ramps up current available at SW. Loop Operation BL8024 uses a PWM current-mode control scheme. An open-loop comparator compares the integrated voltage-feedback signal against the sum of the amplified current-sense signal and the slope compensation ramp. At each rising edge of the internal clock, the internal high-side MOSFET turns on until the PWM comparator terminates the on cycle. During this on-time, current ramps up through the inductor, sourcing current to the output and storing energy in the inductor. The current mode feedback system regulates the peak inductor current as a function of the output voltage error signal. During the off cycle, the internal highside P-channel MOSFET turns off, and the internal low-side N-channel MOSFET turns on. The inductor releases the stored energy as its current ramps down while still providing current to the output. UVLO and Thermal Shutdown If VIN drops below 2.5V, the UVLO circuit inhibits switching. Once VIN rises above 2.6V, the UVLO clears, and the soft-start sequence activates. Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipation in the device. When the junction temperature exceeds TJ= +160°C, a thermal sensor forces the device into shutdown, allowing the die to cool. The thermal sensor turns the device on again after the junction temperature cools by 15°C, resulting in a pulsed output during continuous overload conditions. Following a thermal-shutdown condition, the soft-start sequence begins. Design Procedure Current Sense Setting Output Voltages An internal current-sense amplifier senses the current through the high-side MOSFET during on time and produces a proportional current signal, which is used to sum with the slope compensation signal. The summed signal then is compared with the error amplifier output by the PWM comparator to terminate the on cycle. Output voltages are set by external resistors. The FB_ threshold is 0.6V. RTOP = RBOTTOM[(VOUT / 0.6) - 1] Input Capacitor Selection The input capacitor in a DC-to-DC converter reduces current peaks drawn from the battery or other input power source and reduces switching noise in the controller. The impedance of the input capacitor at the switching frequency should be less than that of the input source so high-frequency switching currents do not pass through the input source. The output capacitor keeps output ripple Current Limit There is a cycle-by-cycle current limit on the highside MOSFET of 1.5A(typ). When the current flowing out of SW exceeds this limit, the high-side MOSFET turns off and the synchronous rectifier www.belling.com.cn 5 BL8024 small and ensures control-loop stability. The output capacitor must also have low impedance at the switching frequency. Ceramic, polymer, and tantalum capacitors are suitable, with ceramic 1) Place decoupling capacitors as close to the IC as possible 2) Connect input and output capacitors to the same power ground node with a star ground configuration then to IC ground. 3) Keep the high-current paths as short and wide as possible. Keep the path of switching current (C1 to VIN and C1 to GND) short. Avoid vias in the switching paths. 4) If possible, connect VIN, SW, and GND separately to a large copper area to help cool the IC to further improve efficiency and longterm reliability. 5) Ensure all feedback connections are short and direct. Place the feedback resistors as close to the IC as possible. 6) Route high-speed switching nodes away from sensitive analog areas exhibiting the lowest ESR and high-frequency impedance. Output ripple with a ceramic output capacitor is approximately as follows: VRIPPLE = IL(PEAK)[1 / (2π x fOSC x COUT)] If the capacitor has significant ESR, the output ripple component due to capacitor ESR is as follows: VRIPPLE(ESR) = IL(PEAK) x ESR Application Information Layout is critical to achieve clean and stable operation.
