NCV8877
Automotive Grade
Start-Stop Non-Synchronous
Boost Controller
The NCV8877 is a Non-Synchronous Boost controller designed to
supply a minimum output voltage during Start-Stop vehicle operation
battery voltage sags. The controller drives an external N-channel
MOSFET. The device uses peak current mode control with internal
slope compensation. The IC incorporates an internal regulator that
supplies charge to the gate driver.
Protection features include, cycle-by-cycle current limiting and
thermal shutdown.
Additional features include low quiescent current sleep mode
operation. The NCV8877 is enabled when the supply voltage drops
below the wake up threshold. Boost Operation is initiated when the
supply voltage drops below the regulation set point.

Figure 16. Current Mode Control Schematic
DISB
Current Mode Control
The DISB pin provides an IC disable function. When a DC
logic-low voltage is applied to this pin, the NCV8877 enters
a low quiescent sleep mode, permitting an external signal to
either shutdown the IC or disable the wakeup function.
The NCV8877 incorporates a current mode control
scheme, in which the PWM ramp signal is derived from the
power switch current. This ramp signal is compared to the
output of the error amplifier to control the on−time of the
power switch. The oscillator is used as a fixed−frequency
clock to ensure a constant operational frequency. The
resulting control scheme features several advantages over
conventional voltage mode control. First, derived directly
from the inductor, the ramp signal responds immediately to
line voltage changes. This eliminates the delay caused by the
output filter and the error amplifier, which is commonly
found in voltage mode controllers. The second benefit
comes from inherent pulse−by−pulse current limiting by
merely clamping the peak switching current. Finally, since
current mode commands an output current rather than
voltage, the filter offers only a single pole to the feedback
loop. This allows for a simpler compensation.
The NCV8877 also includes a slope compensation
scheme in which a fixed ramp generated by the oscillator is
added to the current ramp. A proper slope rate is provided to
improve circuit stability without sacrificing the advantages
of current mode control.
Regulation
The NCV8877 is a non−synchronous boost controller
designed to supply a minimum output voltage during
Start−Stop vehicle operation battery voltage sags. The
NCV8877 is in low quiescent current sleep mode under
normal battery operation (12 V) and is enabled when the
supply voltage drops below the descending threshold (7.3 V
for the NCV887700). Boost operation is initiated when the
supply voltage is below the regulation set point (6.8 V for the
NCV887700). Once the supply voltage sag condition ends
and begins to increase, the NCV8877 boost operation will
cease when the supply voltage increases beyond the
regulation set point. The NCV8877 low quiescent current
sleep mode resumes once the supply voltage increases
beyond the ascending voltage threshold (7.6 V for the
NCV887700).
The NCV8877 VOUT pin serves the dual purpose: (1)
powering the NCV8877 and (2) providing the regulation
feedback signal. The feedback network is imbedded within
the IC to eliminate the constant current battery drain that would
exist with the use of external voltage feedback resistors.
There is no soft−start operating mode. The NCV8877 will
instantly respond to a voltage sag so as to maintain normal
operation of downstream loads. Once the NCV8877 is
enabled, the voltage error operational transconductance
amplifier supplies current to set VC to 1.1 V to minimize the
feedback loop response time when the battery voltage sag
goes below the regulation set point.
Current Limit
The NCV8877 features two current limit protections,
peak current mode and over current latch off. When the
current sense amplifier detects a voltage above the peak
current limit between ISNS and GND after the current limit
leading edge blanking time, the peak current limit causes the
power switch to turn off for the remainder of the cycle. Set
the current limit with a resistor from ISNS to GND, with R
= VCL / Ilimit.

NCV8877
If the voltage across the current sense resistor exceeds the
over current threshold voltage the device enters over current
hiccup mode. The device will remain off for the hiccup time
and then go through the soft−start procedure.

Both duty cycles will actually be higher due to power loss
in the conversion. The exact duty cycles will depend on
conduction and switching losses. If the maximum input
voltage is higher than the output voltage, the minimum duty
cycle will be negative. This is because a boost converter
cannot have an output lower than the input. In situations
where the input is higher than the output, the output will
follow the input, minus the diode drop of the output diode
and the converter will not attempt to switch.
If the calculated Dmax is higher the Dmax of the NCV8877,
the conversion will not be possible. It is important for a boost
converter to have a restricted Dmax, because while the ideal
conversion ration of a boost converter goes up to infinity as
D approaches 1, a real converter’s conversion ratio starts to
decrease as losses overtake the increased power transfer. If
the converter is in this range it will not be able to regulate
properly.
If the following equation is not satisfied, the device will
skip pulses at high VIN:
Input Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) is provided to
ensure that unexpected behavior does not occur when VIN
is too low to support the internal rails and power the
controller. The IC will start up when enabled and VIN
surpasses the UVLO threshold plus the UVLO hysteresis
and will shut down when VIN drops below the UVLO
threshold or the part is disabled.
VDRV
An internal regulator provides the drive voltage for the
gate driver. Bypass with a ceramic capacitor to ground to
ensure fast turn on times. The capacitor should be between
0.1 mF and 1 mF, depending on switching speed and charge
requirements of the external MOSFET.
VDRV uses an internal linear regulator to charge the
VDRV bypass capacitor. VOUT must be decoupled at the IC
by a capacitor that is equal or larger in value than the VDRV
decoupling capacitor.

This section details an overview of the component selection
process for the NCV8877 in continuous conduction mode
boost. It is intended to assist with the design process but does
not remove all engineering design work. Many of the
equations make heavy use of the small ripple approximation.
This process entails the following steps:
1. Define Operational Parameters
2. Select Operating Frequency
3. Select Current Sense Resistor
4. Select Output Inductor
5. Select Output Capacitors
6. Select Input Capacitors
7. Select Compensator Components
8. Select MOSFET(s)

Where: fs: switching frequency [Hz]

2. Select Operating Frequency
The default setting is an open ROSC pin, allowing the
oscillator to operate at the default frequency Fs. Adding a
resistor to GND increases the switching frequency.
The graph in Figure 17, below, shows the required
resistance to program the frequency. From 200 kHz to
500 kHz, the following formula is accurate to within 3% of
the expected

Current sensing for peak current mode control and current
limit relies on the MOSFET current signal, which is
measured with a ground referenced amplifier. The easiest
method of generating this signal is to use a current sense
resistor from the source of the MOSFET to device ground.

7. Select Compensator Components
4. Select Output Inductor
Current Mode control method employed by the NCV8877
allows the use of a simple, Type II compensation to optimize
the dynamic response according to system requirements.
The output inductor controls the current ripple that occurs
over a switching period. A high current ripple will result in
excessive power loss and ripple current requirements. A low
current ripple will result in a poor control signal and a slow
current slew rate in case of load steps. A good starting point
for peak to peak ripple is around 20−40% of the inductor
current at the maximum load at the worst case VIN, but
operation should be verified empirically. The worst case VIN
is half of VOUT, or whatever VIN is closest to half of VOUT.
After choosing a peak current ripple value, calculate the
inductor value as follows:
8. Select MOSFET(s)
In order to ensure the gate drive voltage does not drop out
the MOSFET(s) chosen must not violate the following
inequality:
Q g(total) v
DI L,max f s
Where: VIN(WC): VIN value as close as possible to
half of VOUT [V]
DWC: duty cycle at VIN(WC)
DIL,max: maximum peak to peak ripple [A]

as follows:

The maximum voltage across the MOSFET will be the
maximum output voltage, which is the higher of the
maximum input voltage and the regulated output voltaged:
V Q(max) + V OUT(max)

9. Select Diode

The output diode rectifies the output current. The average
current through diode will be equal to the output current:
The Peak Inductor current can be calculated as follows:

Additionally, the diode must block voltage equal to the
higher of the output voltage and the maximum input voltage:
Where: IL,peak: Peak inductor current value [A]

5. Select Output Capacitors
The output capacitors smooth the output voltage and
reduce the overshoot and undershoot associated with line
transients. The steady state output ripple associated with the
output capacitors can be calculated as follows:
The maximum power dissipation in the diode can be
calculated as follows:

10. Design Notes
• VOUT serves a dual purpose (feedback and IC power).
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The VDRV circuit has a current pulse power draw
resulting in current flow from the output sense location
to the IC. Trace ESL will cause voltage ripple to
develop at IC pin VOUT which could affect
performance.
♦ Use a 1 mF IC VOUT pin decoupling capacitor close
to IC in addition to the VDRV decoupling capacitor.
Classic feedback loop measurements are not possible
(VOUT pin serves a dual purpose as a feedback path
and IC power). Feedback loop computer modeling
recommended.
♦ A step load test for stability verification is
recommended.
Compensation ground must be dedicated and connected
directly to IC ground.
♦ Do not use vias. Use a dedicated ground trace.
ROSC programming resistor ground must be dedicated
and connected directly to IC ground
♦ Do not use vias. Use a dedicated ground trace.
IC ground & current sense resistor ground sense point
must be located on the same side of PCB.
♦ Vias introduce sufficient ESR/ESL voltage drop
which can degrade the accuracy of the current
feedback signal amplitude (signal bounce) and
should be avoided.
Star ground should be located at IC ground pad.
♦ This is the location for connecting the compensation
and current sense grounds.
The IC architecture has a leading edge ISNS blanking
circuit. In some instances, current pulse leading edge
current spike RC filter may be required.
♦ If required, 330 pF + 250 W are a recommended
evaluation starting point.
RDAMPING (optional)
♦ The IC-VOUT pin may be located a few cm from
the output voltage sensing point. Parasitic
inductance from the feedback trace (roughly
5 nH/cm) results in the requirement for a decoupling
capacitor (Cdecoupling = 1 mF recommended) next to
the IC-VOUT pin to support the VDRV charging
pulses. The IC-VDRV energy is replenished from
current pulses by an internal linear regulator whose
charging frequency corresponds to that of the IC
oscillator (phase lag may occur; some charging
pulses may occasionally be skipped depending on
the state of the VDRV voltage). The trace’s parasitic
inductance can introduce a low amplitude damped
voltage oscillation between the IC-VOUT and the
♦
output voltage sense location which may result in
minor frequency jitter.
If the measured frequency jitter is objectionable, it
may be attenuated by placing a series damping
resistor (Rdamp) in the feedback path between the
output voltage sense and IC-VOUT. The resulting
filter introduced by Rdamp introduces a high
frequency pole in the feedback loop path. The RC
filter 3 dB pole frequency must be chosen at a
minimum of 1 decade above the design’s feedback
loop cross-over frequency (at minimum power
supply input voltage where the worst case phase
margin will occur) to avoid deteriorating the
feedback loop cross-over frequency phase margin.
The average operating current demand from the IC
is dominated by the MOSFET gate drive power
energy consumption (IVDRV = Qg(tot)_6V x fosc).
The IVDRV x Rdamp voltage drop results in a
corresponding increase in power supply regulation
voltage. Rdamp is typically 0.68 W, so the resulting
increase in output voltage regulation will be minimal
(10-30 mV may be typical).
11. Determine Feedback Loop Compensation Network
The purpose of a compensation network is to stabilize the
dynamic response of the converter. By optimizing the
compensation network, stable regulation response is
achieved for input line and load transients.
Compensator design involves the placement of poles and
zeros in the closed loop transfer function. Losses from the
boost inductor, MOSFET, current sensing and boost diode
losses also influence the gain and compensation
expressions. The OTA has an ESD protection structure
(RESD ≈ 502 W, data not provided in the datasheet) located
on the die between the OTA output and the IC package
compensation pin (VC). The information from the OTA
PWM feedback control signal (VCTRL) may differ from the
IC−VC signal if R2 is of similar order of magnitude as RESD .
The compensation and gain expressions which follow take
influence from the OTA output impedance elements into
account.
Type−I compensation is not possible due to the presence
of RESD . The Figure 18 compensation network corresponds
to a Type−II network in series with RESD . The resulting
control−output transfer function is an accurate mathematical
model of the IC in a boost converter topology. The model
does have limitations and a more accurate SPICE model
should be considered for a more detailed analysis:
• The attenuating effect of large value ceramic capacitors
in parallel with output electrolytic capacitor ESR is not
considered in the equations.
• The efficiency term h should be a reasonable operating
condition estimate.
