The power switch is connected between VIN and SW. In the first cycle of operation the transistor is closed and the diode is reverse biased. Energy is collected in the inductor and the load current is supplied by COUT and the rising current through the inductor. During the second cycle the transistor is open and the diode is forward biased due to the fact that the inductor current cannot instantaneously change direction. The energy stored in the inductor is transferred to the load and output capacitor. The ratio of these two cycles determines the output voltage. The output voltage is defined approximately as: D=VOUT/VIN and D’ = (1D) where D is the duty cycle of the switch. D and D' will be required for design calculations. General Description The LMR14203 is a PWM DC/DC buck (step-down) regulator. With a wide input range from 4.5V-42V, it is suitable for a wide range of applications such as power conditioning from unregulated sources. They feature a low RDSON (0.9Ω typical) internal switch for maximum efficiency (85% typical). Operating frequency is fixed at 1.25 MHz allowing the use of small external components while still being able to have low output voltage ripple. Soft-start can be implemented using the shutdown pin with an external RC circuit allowing the user to tailor the soft-start time to a specific application. The LMR14203 is optimized for up to 300 mA load current. Additional features include: thermal shutdown, VIN under-voltage lockout, and gate drive under-voltage lockout. The LMR14203 is available in a low profile TSOT-6L package. DESIGN PROCEDURE This section presents guidelines for selecting external components. Application Information SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE The output voltage is set using the feedback pin and a resistor divider connected to the output as shown on the front page schematic. The feedback pin voltage is 0.762V, so the ratio of the feedback resistors sets the output voltage according to the following equation: VOUT=0.765V(1+(R1/R2)) Typically R2 will be given as 100Ω-10 kΩ for a starting value. To solve for R1 given R2 and VOUT use R1=R2((VOUT/0.765V)-1). PROTECTION The LMR14203 has dedicated protection circuitry running during normal operation to protect the IC. The thermal shutdown circuitry turns off the power device when the die temperature reaches excessive levels. The UVLO comparator protects the power device during supply power startup and shutdown to prevent operation at voltages less than the minimum input voltage. A gate drive (CB) under-voltage lockout is included to guarantee that there is enough gate drive voltage to drive the MOSFET before the device tries to start switching. The LMR14203 also features a shutdown mode decreasing the supply current to approximately 16 µA. INPUT CAPACITOR A low ESR ceramic capacitor (CIN) is needed between the VIN pin and GND pin. This capacitor prevents large voltage transients from appearing at the input. Use a 2.2 µF-10 µF value with X5R or X7R dielectric. Depending on construction, a ceramic capacitor’s value can decrease up to 50% of its nominal value when rated voltage is applied. Consult with the capacitor manufacturer's data sheet for information on capacitor derating over voltage and temperature. CONTINUOUS CONDUCTION MODE The LMR14203 contains a current-mode, PWM buck regulator. A buck regulator steps the input voltage down to a lower output voltage. In continuous conduction mode (when the in- 7 www.ti.com LMR14203 RC filter is used to tailor the soft-start for a specific application. When a voltage applied to the SHDN pin is between 0V and up to 2.3V it will cause the cycle by cycle current limit in the power stage to be modulated for minimum current limit at 0V up to the rated current limit at 2.3V. Thus controlling the output rise time and inrush current at startup. The resistor value should be selected so the current sourced into the SHDN pin will be greater then the leakage current of the SHDN pin (1.5 µA ) when the voltage at SHDN is equal or greater then 2.3V. INDUCTOR SELECTION The most critical parameters for the inductor are the inductance, peak current, and the DC resistance. The inductance is related to the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current, the input and the output voltages. SHUTDOWN OPERATION The SHDN pin of the LMR14203 is designed so that it may be controlled using 2.3V or higher logic signals. If the shutdown function is not to be used the SHDN pin may be tied to VIN. The maximum voltage to the SHDN pin should not exceed 42V. If the use of a higher voltage is desired due to system or other constraints it may be used, however a 100 kΩ or larger resistor is recommended between the applied voltage and the SHDN pin to protect the device. A higher value of ripple current reduces inductance, but increases the conductance loss, core loss, and current stress for the inductor and switch devices. It also requires a bigger output capacitor for the same output voltage ripple requirement. A reasonable value is setting the ripple current to be 30% of the DC output current. Since the ripple current increases with the input voltage, the maximum input voltage is always used to determine the inductance. The DC resistance of the inductor is a key parameter for the efficiency. Lower DC resistance is available with a bigger winding area. A good tradeoff between the efficiency and the core size is letting the inductor copper loss equal 2% of the output power. See AN-1197 for more information on selecting inductors. A good starting point for most applications is a 10 µH to 22 µH with a 0.7A or greater current rating for the LMR14203. Using such a rating will enable the LMR14203 to current limit without saturating the inductor. This is preferable to the device going into thermal shutdown mode and the possibility of damaging the inductor if the output is shorted to ground or other longterm overload. SCHOTTKY DIODE The breakdown voltage rating of the diode (D1) is preferred to be 25% higher than the maximum input voltage. The current rating for the diode should be equal to the maximum output current for best reliability in most applications. In cases where the input voltage is much greater than the output voltage the average diode current is lower. In this case it is possible to use a diode with a lower average current rating, approximately (1-D)IOUT, however the peak current rating should be higher than the maximum load current. A 0.5A to 1A rated diode is a good starting point. OUTPUT CAPACITOR The selection of COUT is driven by the maximum allowable output voltage ripple. The output ripple in the constant frequency, PWM mode is approximated by: VRIPPLE = IRIPPLE (ESR+(1/(8fSWCOUT))) The ESR term usually plays the dominant role in determining the voltage ripple. Low ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended. Capacitors in the range of 22 µF-100 µF are a good starting point with an ESR of 0.1Ω or less. LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS To reduce problems with conducted noise pick up, the ground side of the feedback network should be connected directly to the GND pin with its own connection. The feedback network, resistors R1 and R2, should be kept close to the FB pin, and away from the inductor to minimize coupling noise into the feedback pin. The input bypass capacitor CIN must be placed close to the VIN pin. This will reduce copper trace resistance which effects input voltage ripple of the IC. The inductor L1 should be placed close to the SW pin to reduce magnetic and electrostatic noise. The output capacitor, COUT should be placed close to the junction of L1 and the diode D1. The L1, D1, and COUT trace should be as short as possible to reduce conducted and radiated noise and increase overall efficiency. The ground connection for the diode, CIN, and COUT should be as small as possible and tied to the system ground plane in only one spot (preferably at the COUT ground point) to minimize conducted noise in the system ground plane. For more detail on switching power supply layout considerations see Application Note AN-1149: Layout Guidelines for Switching Power Supplies. BOOTSTRAP CAPACITOR A 0.15 µF ceramic capacitor or larger is recommended for the bootstrap capacitor (CBOOT). For applications where the input voltage is less than twice the output voltage a larger capacitor is recommended, generally 0.15 µF to 1 µF to ensure plenty of gate drive for the internal switches and a consistently low RDSON.
