R P O T s i s e r e t s y H O L V U + Once the EN pin reaches about 1.5V (the EN A 4 (ISINK IR _ BOTTOM ) R TOP M O T T O B EN UVLO Hysteresis The MPQ3426 features a programmable UVLO hysteresis. Upon power up a 4µA current sink (ISINK) is applied to the EN pin, requiring a higher VIN to overcome the current sink. That extra voltage on VIN equals M O T T O B Where R5 is in kΩ R ) R fFSET 23 (R 0.86 FSET P O T Selecting the Switching Frequency The switching frequency is set by the FSET resistor (RFSET), where: At the same time VIN startup threshold is determined by its UVLO or: R When VCSA and VCOMP are equal, the PWM comparator turns off the switch to force the inductor current through the external rectifier to the output capacitor. This decreases the inductor current. VCOMP controls the peak inductor current, which is controlled by the output voltage. The output voltage is regulated by the inductor current to satisfy the load. Current-mode regulation improves the transient response and control-loop stability. s i s e r e t s y H O L V U At the beginning of each cycle, the N-Channel MOSFET switch turns on, causing the inductor current to rise. The current-sense amplifier (CSA) at the switch’s source internally converts the switch current to a voltage. This voltage goes to a comparator that compares it to the COMP voltage. The COMP voltage is the output of the error amplifier, which is an amplified version of the difference between the 1.225V reference voltage and VFB. 5 . 1 = N VI Theory of Operation The MPQ3426 uses a constant-frequency, peakcurrent–mode, boost regulator architecture to regulate the feedback voltage.

This prevents premature source voltage termination at startup due to input-current overshoot. When power is applied to the MPQ3426, and EN goes HIGH, a 6µA internal current source charges the external SS capacitor. As the SS capacitor charges, the SS MPQ3426 Rev.1.01 www.MonolithicPower.com 7/19/2017 MPS Proprietary Information. Patent Protected. Unauthorized Photocopy and Duplication Prohibited. © 2017 MPS. All Rights Reserved. 11 MPQ3426- 6A, 35V BOOST CONVERTER WITH PROGRAMMABLE SWITCHING FREQUENCY AND UVLO AEC-Q100 QUALIFIED voltage rises. When the SS voltage reaches 250mV, the MPQ3426 starts switching at 1/5 the programmed frequency (frequency fold-back mode). At 800mV the switching frequency rises to the programmed value. The soft-start ends when the SS voltage reaches 2.5V. This limits the inductor current at start-up, forcing the input current to rise slowly to the required current to regulate the output voltage. The soft-start period is determined by the equation: C 109 2.5V t SS SS 6A Where CSS (nF) is the soft-start capacitor from SS to GND, and tSS is the soft-start period. Setting the Output Voltage VOUT connects to the top of a resistor divider (R2 and R3); the resistor divider’s tap connects to the FB pin. The feedback voltage is typically 1.225V. The output voltage is then: R2 VOUT VFB 1 R3 Where: R2 is the top feedback resistor R3 is the bottom feedback resistor VFB is the feedback reference (typically 1.225V) voltage To increase efficiency, use ≥10kΩ feedback resistors. Selecting the Input Capacitor The input requires a capacitor to supply the AC ripple current to the inductor, while limiting noise at the input source. Use a low-ESR capacitor with a value >4.7µF to minimize the IC noise. Ceramic capacitors are preferred, but tantalum or low-ESR electrolytic capacitors can also suffice. However since it absorbs the input switching current it requires an adequate ripple current rating. Use a capacitor with an RMS current rating greater than the inductor ripple current. To ensure stable operation, place the input capacitor as close to the IC as possible. As an alternative, place a small, high-quality ceramic 0.1µF capacitor close to the IC and place the larger capacitor further away. If using the latter technique, use either tantalum- or electrolytictype capacitors for the larger capacitor. Place all ceramic capacitors close to the MPQ3426. Selecting the Output Capacitor The output capacitor maintains the DC output voltage. For best results, use low-ESR capacitors to minimize the output voltage ripple. The output capacitor’s characteristics also affect regulatory control system’s stability. For best results, use ceramic, tantalum, or low-ESR electrolytic capacitors. For ceramic capacitors, the capacitance dominates the impedance at the switching frequency, and so the output voltage ripple is mostly independent of the ESR. The output voltage ripple is estimated as VIN VOUT : C OUT f SW 1 VRIPPLE ILOAD Where VRIPPLE is the output ripple voltage, VIN and VOUT are the DC input and output voltages, respectively, ILOAD is the load current, fSW is the switching frequency, and COUT is the value of the output capacitor. For tantalum or low-ESR electrolytic capacitors, the ESR dominates the impedance at the switching frequency, and so the output ripple is: VIN VOUT I R ESR VOUT LOAD C OUT f SW VIN 1 VRIPPLE ILOAD Where RESR is the equivalent series resistance of the output capacitors. Choose an output capacitor that satisfies the output ripple and load transient requirements of the design. A 4.7µF-to-22µF ceramic capacitor is suitable for most applications. Selecting the Inductor The inductor forces the output voltage higher than the input voltage. A larger inductor value results in less ripple current and reduces the peak inductor current; this reduces the stress on the internal N-channel switch. However, a largervalue inductor is physically larger, has a higher series resistance, and/or lower saturation current. MPQ3426 Rev.1.01 www.MonolithicPower.com 7/19/2017 MPS Proprietary Information.

All Rights Reserved. 12 MPQ3426- 6A, 35V BOOST CONVERTER WITH PROGRAMMABLE SWITCHING FREQUENCY AND UVLO AEC-Q100 QUALIFIED A good rule of thumb is to allow the peak-to-peak ripple current to equal 30% to 50% of the maximum input current. Make sure that the peak inductor current is less than 75% of the current limit during duty-cycle operation to prevent regulator losses due to the current limit. Also make sure that the inductor does not saturate under the worst-case load transient and startup conditions. Calculate the required inductance value using the following equations: L VIN ( VOUT VIN ) VOUT f SW I IIN(max) VOUT ILOAD(MAX) VIN Where: ILOAD(max) = maximum load current ∆I = peak-to-peak inductor ripple current ∆I = (30% to 50%) × ILOAD (MAX) ŋ = efficiency. Selecting the Diode The output rectifier diode supplies current to the inductor when the internal MOSFET is off. Use a Schottky diode to reduce losses due to the diode forward voltage and recovery time. The diode should be rated for a reverse voltage equal to or greater than the expected output voltage. The average current rating must exceed the maximum expected load current, and the peak current rating must exceed the peak inductor current. Compensation The output of the transconductance error amplifier (COMP) compensates the regulation control system. The system uses two poles and one zero to stabilize the control loop. The poles are fP1 (set by the output capacitor COUT and the load resistance) and fP2 (set by the compensation capacitor CCOMP and the compensation resistor RCOMP). These are determined by the equations: fP1 fP 2 1 (Hz) 2 R LOAD C OUT G EA (Hz) 2 A VEA C COMP f Z1 1 2 R COMP C COMP (Hz) Where RLOAD is the load resistance, GEA is the error amplifier transconductance, and AVEA is the error amplifier voltage gain. The DC loop gain is A VDC A VEA VIN RLOAD VFB GCS (V/V) 0.5 VOUT 2 Where GCS is the compensation voltage/inductor current gain, and the VFB is the feedback regulation threshold. There is also a right-half-plane zero (fRHPZ) that exists in continuous conduction mode (the inductor current does not drop to zero for each cycle). The fRHPZ is: fRHPZ V R LOAD IN 2 L VOUT 2 (Hz) Table 2 lists a few compensation component combinations for different input voltages, output voltages and capacitances for the mostfrequently–used output ceramic capacitors. Ceramic capacitors generally have extremely low ESR, and therefore do not require the second compensation capacitor (from COMP to GND). For faster control loop and better transient response, select CCOMP (C7) from Table 2: Recommended Component Values. Then gradually increase the RCOMP (R6) value and check the load step response to find a value that minimizes any output voltage ringing or overshoot at the load step edge. Finally, check the compensator design by calculating the DC loop gain and the crossover frequency. The crossover frequency where the loop gain drops to 0dB (a gain of 1) can be obtained visually by placing a -20dB/decade slope at each pole, and a +20dB/decade slope at each zero. The crossover frequency should be at least one decade below the fRHPZ at the maximum output load current to obtain a high-enough phase margin for stability.

Place all components as close to the IC as possible. Keep the path between L1, D1, and COUT extremely short to minimize noise and ringing. Place CIN close to the VIN pin to maximize decoupling. Keep all feedback components close to the FB pin to prevent noise injection on the FB pin trace. Tie the CIN and COUT ground returns close to the GND pin.
