Because of this, the regulated output is always maintained at a voltage level equal to the voltage at the FB node "multiplied up" by the ratio of the output resistive divider. The current limit comparator feeds directly into the flip-flop, that drives the switch FET. If the FET current reaches the limit threshold, the FET is turned off and the cycle terminated until the next clock pulse. The current limit input terminates the pulse regardless of the status of the output of the PWM comparator. General Description The LMR64010 switching regulators is a current-mode boost converter operating at a fixed frequency of 1.6 MHz. The use of SOT-23 package, made possible by the minimal power loss of the internal 1A switch, and use of small inductors and capacitors result in the industry's highest power density. The 40V internal switch makes these solutions perfect for boosting to voltages of 16V or greater. These parts have a logic-level shutdown pin that can be used to reduce quiescent current and extend battery life. Protection is provided through cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown. Internal compensation simplifies design and reduces component count. Application Hints SELECTING THE EXTERNAL CAPACITORS The best capacitors for use with the LMR64010 are multi-layer ceramic capacitors. They have the lowest ESR (equivalent series resistance) and highest resonance frequency which makes them optimum for use with high frequency switching converters. When selecting a ceramic capacitor, only X5R and X7R dielectric types should be used. Other types such as Z5U and Y5F have such severe loss of capacitance due to effects of temperature variation and applied voltage, they may provide as little as 20% of rated capacitance in many typical applications. Always consult capacitor manufacturer’s data curves before selecting a capacitor. Theory of Operation The LMR64010 is a switching converter IC that operates at a fixed frequency (1.6 MHz) using current-mode control for fast transient response over a wide input voltage range and incorporates pulse-by-pulse current limiting protection. Because this is current mode control, a 50 mΩ sense resistor in series with the switch FET is used to provide a voltage (which is proportional to the FET current) to both the input of the pulse width modulation (PWM) comparator and the current limit amplifier. At the beginning of each cycle, the S-R latch turns on the FET. As the current through the FET increases, a voltage (proportional to this current) is summed with the ramp coming from the ramp generator and then fed into the input of the PWM comparator. When this voltage exceeds the voltage on the other input (coming from the Gm amplifier), the latch resets and turns the FET off. Since the signal coming from the Gm amplifier is derived from the feedback (which samples the voltage at the output), the action of the PWM comparator constantly sets the correct peak current through the FET to keep the output volatge in regulation. Q1 and Q2 along with R3 - R6 form a bandgap voltage reference used by the IC to hold the output in regulation. The SELECTING THE OUTPUT CAPACITOR A single ceramic capacitor of value 4.7 µF to 10 µF will provide sufficient output capacitance for most applications. For output voltages below 10V, a 10 µF capacitance is required. If larger amounts of capacitance are desired for improved line support and transient response, tantalum capacitors can be used in parallel with the ceramics. Aluminum electrolytics with ultra low ESR such as Sanyo Oscon can be used, but are usually prohibitively expensive. Typical AI electrolytic capacitors are not suitable for switching frequencies above 500 kHz due to significant ringing and temperature rise due to self-heating 7 www.ti.com LMR64010 from ripple current. An output capacitor with excessive ESR can also reduce phase margin and cause instability. SELECTING THE INPUT CAPACITOR An input capacitor is required to serve as an energy reservoir for the current which must flow into the coil each time the switch turns ON. This capacitor must have extremely low ESR, so ceramic is the best choice. We recommend a nominal value of 2.2 µF, but larger values can be used. Since this capacitor reduces the amount of voltage ripple seen at the input pin, it also reduces the amount of EMI passed back along that line to other circuitry. FEED-FORWARD COMPENSATION Although internally compensated, the feed-forward capacitor Cf is required for stability (see Basic Application Circuit). Adding this capacitor puts a zero in the loop response of the converter. Without it, the regulator loop can oscillate. The recommended frequency for the zero fz should be approximately 8 kHz. Cf can be calculated using the formula: Cf = 1 / (2 X π X R1 X fz) Recommended PCB Component Layout SELECTING DIODES The external diode used in the typical application should be a Schottky diode. If the switch voltage is less than 15V, a 20V diode such as the MBR0520 is recommended. If the switch voltage is between 15V and 25V, a 30V diode such as the MBR0530 is recommended. If the switch voltage exceeds 25V, a 40V diode such as the MBR0540 should be used. The MBR05XX series of diodes are designed to handle a maximum average current of 0.5A. For applications exceeding 0.5A average but less than 1A, a Toshiba CRS08 can be used. Some additional guidelines to be observed: 1. Keep the path between L1, D1, and C2 extremely short. Parasitic trace inductance in series with D1 and C2 will increase noise and ringing. 2. The feedback components R1, R2 and CF must be kept close to the FB pin of U1 to prevent noise injection on the FB pin trace. 3. If internal ground planes are available (recommended) use vias to connect directly to ground at pin 2 of U1, as well as the negative sides of capacitors C1 and C2. 30167522 LAYOUT HINTS High frequency switching regulators require very careful layout of components in order to get stable operation and low noise. All components must be as close as possible to the LMR64010 device. It is recommended that a 4-layer PCB be used so that internal ground planes are available. As an example, a recommended layout of components is shown: SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE The output voltage is set using the external resistors R1 and R2 (see Basic Application Circuit). A value of approximately 13.3 kΩ is recommended for R2 to establish a divider current of approximately 92 µA. R1 is calculated using the formula: R1 = R2 X (VOUT/1.23 − 1) 30167505 Basic Application Circuit DUTY CYCLE This applies for continuous mode operation. The maximum duty cycle of the switching regulator deterThe equation shown for calculating duty cycle incorporates mines the maximum boost ratio of output-to-input voltage that terms for the FET switch voltage and diode forward voltage. the converter can attain in continuous mode of operation. The The actual duty cycle measured in operation will also be afduty cycle for a given boost application is defined as: fected slightly by other power losses in the circuit such as wire losses in the inductor, switching losses, and capacitor ripple current losses from self-heating. Therefore, the actual (effective) duty cycle measured may be slightly higher than calcu- www.ti.com 8 DC (eff) = (1 - Efficiency x (VIN/VOUT)) Where the efficiency can be approximated from the curves provided. INDUCTANCE VALUE The first question we are usually asked is: “How small can I make the inductor?” (because they are the largest sized component and usually the most costly). The answer is not simple and involves tradeoffs in performance. Larger inductors mean less inductor ripple current, which typically means less output voltage ripple (for a given size of output capacitor). Larger inductors also mean more load power can be delivered because the energy stored during each switching cycle is: E =L/2 X (lp)2 30167524 Typical Application, 5V–12V Boost Where “lp” is the peak inductor current. An important point to observe is that the LMR64010 will limit its switch current based on peak current. This means that since lp(max) is fixed, increasing L will increase the maximum amount of power available to the load. Conversely, using too little inductance may limit the amount of load current which can be drawn from the output. Best performance is usually obtained when the converter is operated in “continuous” mode at the load current range of interest, typically giving better load regulation and less output ripple. Continuous operation is defined as not allowing the inductor current to drop to zero during the cycle. It should be noted that all boost converters shift over to discontinuous operation as the output load is reduced far enough, but a larger inductor stays “continuous” over a wider load current range. To better understand these tradeoffs, a typical application circuit (5V to 12V boost with a 10 µH inductor) will be analyzed. We will assume: VIN = 5V, VOUT = 12V, VDIODE = 0.5V, VSW = 0.5V Since the frequency is 1.6 MHz (nominal), the period is approximately 0.625 µs. The duty cycle will be 62.5%, which means the ON time of the switch is 0.390 µs. It should be noted that when the switch is ON, the voltage across the inductor is approximately 4.5V. Using the equation: MAXIMUM SWITCH CURRENT The maximum FET swtch current available before the current limiter cuts in is dependent on duty cycle of the application. This is illustrated in the graphs below which show both the typical and guaranteed values of switch current as a function of effective (actual) duty cycle: V = L (di/dt) 30167525 Switch Current Limit vs Duty Cycle We can then calculate the di/dt rate of the inductor which is found to be 0.45 A/µs during the ON time. Using these facts, we can then show what the inductor current will look like during operation: CALCULATING LOAD CURRENT As shown in the figure which depicts inductor current, the load current is related to the average inductor current by the relation: ILOAD = IIND(AVG) x (1 - DC) Where "DC" is the duty cycle of the application. The switch current can be found by: ISW = IIND(AVG) + ½ (IRIPPLE) Inductor ripple current is dependent on inductance, duty cycle, input voltage and frequency: IRIPPLE = DC x (VIN-VSW) / (f x L) combining all terms, we can develop an expression which allows the maximum available load current to be calculated: 30167512 10 µH Inductor Current,5V–12V Boost During the 0.390 µs ON time, the inductor current ramps up 0.176A and ramps down an equal amount during the OFF time. This is defined as the inductor “ripple current”. It can also be seen that if the load current drops to about 33 mA, the 9 www.ti.com LMR64010 inductor current will begin touching the zero axis which means it will be in discontinuous mode. A similar analysis can be performed on any boost converter, to make sure the ripple current is reasonable and continuous operation will be maintained at the typical load current values. lated to compensate for these power losses. A good approximation for effctive duty cycle is : LMR64010 The equation shown to calculate maximum load current takes into account the losses in the inductor or turn-OFF switching losses of the FET and diode. For actual load current in typical applications, we took bench data for various input and output voltages and displayed the maximum load current available for a typical device in graph form: possible inductance value for cost and size savings. The converter will operate in discontinuous mode in such a case. The minimum inductance should be selected such that the inductor (switch) current peak on each cycle does not reach the 1A current limit maximum. To understand how to do this, an example will be presented. In the example, minimum switching frequency of 1.15 MHz will be used. This means the maximum cycle period is the reciprocal of the minimum frequency: TON(max) = 1/1.15M = 0.870 µs We will assume the input voltage is 5V, VOUT = 12V, VSW = 0.2V, VDIODE = 0.3V. The duty cycle is: Duty Cycle = 60.3% Therefore, the maximum switch ON time is 0.524 µs. An inductor should be selected with enough inductance to prevent the switch current from reaching 1A in the 0.524 µs ON time interval (see below): 30167534 Max. Load Current vs VIN 30167513 DESIGN PARAMETERS VSW AND ISW The value of the FET "ON" voltage (referred to as VSW in the equations) is dependent on load current. A good approximation can be obtained by multiplying the "ON Resistance" of the FET times the average inductor current. FET on resistance increases at VIN values below 5V, since the internal N-FET has less gate voltage in this input voltage range (see Typical performance Characteristics curves). Above VIN = 5V, the FET gate voltage is internally clamped to 5V. The maximum peak switch current the device can deliver is dependent on duty cycle. The minimum value is guaranteed to be > 1A at duty cycle below 50%. For higher duty cycles, see Typical performance Characteristics curves. Discontinuous Design, 5V–12V Boost The voltage across the inductor during ON time is 4.8V. Minimum inductance value is found by: V = L X dl/dt, L = V X (dt/dl) = 4.8 (0.524µ/1) = 2.5 µH In this case, a 2.7 µH inductor could be used assuming it provided at least that much inductance up to the 1A current value. This same analysis can be used to find the minimum inductance for any boost application. When selecting an inductor, make certain that the continuous current rating is high enough to avoid saturation at peak currents. A suitable core type must be used to minimize core (switching) losses, and wire power losses must be considered when selecting the current rating. THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS At higher duty cycles, the increased ON time of the FET means the maximum output current will be determined by power dissipation within the LMR64010 FET switch. The switch power dissipation from ON-state conduction is calculated by: SHUTDOWN PIN OPERATION The device is turned off by pulling the shutdown pin low. If this function is not going to be used, the pin should be tied directly to VIN. If the SHDN function will be needed, a pull-up resistor must be used to VIN (approximately 50k-100kΩ recommended). The SHDN pin must not be left unterminated. P(SW) = DC x IIND(AVE)2 x RDSON There will be some switching losses as well, so some derating needs to be applied when calculating IC power dissipation.
