The regulator is available in preset switching frequencies of 1.5MHz or 3.0MHz. This high frequency allows the LMR10530 to operate with small surface mount capacitors and inductors, resulting in a DC/DC converter that requires a minimum amount of board space. The LMR10530 is internally compensated, therefore it is simple to use and requires few external components. The LMR10530 uses peak current-mode control to regulate the output voltage. The following description of operation of the LMR10530 will refer to the Typical Application Circuit, to the waveforms in Figure 23 and simplified block diagram in Figure 22. The LMR10530 supplies a regulated output voltage by switching the internal PMOS power switch at a constant frequency and variable duty cycle. A switching cycle begins at the falling edge of the reset pulse generated by the internal oscillator. When this pulse goes low, the output control logic turns on the internal PMOS power switch. During this on-time, the SW pin voltage (VSW) swings up to approximately VIN, and the inductor current (IL) increases with a linear slope. IL is measured by the current sense amplifier, which generates an output proportional to the switch current. The sense signal is summed with the regulator’s corrective ramp and compared to the error amplifier’s output, which is proportional to the difference between the feedback voltage and VREF. When the PWM comparator output goes high, the internal power switch turns off until the next switching cycle begins. During the switch off-time, the inductor current discharges through the catch diode D1, which forces the SW pin to swing below ground by the forward voltage (VD) of the catch diode. The regulator loop adjusts the duty cycle (D) to maintain a constant output voltage. VSW D = TON/TSW VIN SW Voltage TOFF TON 0 -VD IL t TSW ILPK IOUT 'iL Inductor Current t 0 Figure 23.

Connecting a voltage source greater than 1.8V to the EN pin enables the operation of the LMR10530, while reducing this voltage below 0.4V places the part in a low quiescent current (300nA typical) shutdown mode. There is no internal pullup on EN pin, therefore an external signal is required to initiate switching. Do not allow this pin to float or rise to 0.3V above VIN. It should be noted that when the EN pin voltage rises above 1.8V while the input voltage is greater than UVLO, there is 15µs delay before switching starts. During this delay the LMR10530 will go through a power on reset state after which the internal soft-start process commences. During soft-start, the error amplifier’s reference voltage ramps from 0V to its nominal value of 0.6V in approximately 600µs. This forces the regulator output to ramp up in a controlled fashion, which helps reduce inrush current seen at the input and minimizes output voltage overshoot. The simplest way to enable the operation of the LMR10530 is to connect the EN pin to VIN which allows self start-up of the LMR10530 whenever the input voltage is applied. However, when an input voltage of slow rise time is used to power the application and if both the input voltage and the output voltage are not fully established before the soft-start time elapses, the control circuit will command maximum duty cycle operation of the internal power switch to bring up the output voltage rapidly. When the feedback pin voltage exceeds 0.6V, the duty cycle will have to reduce from the maximum value accordingly, to maintain regulation. The reduction of duty cycle takes a finite amount of time and can result in a transient in output voltage for a short duration, as shown in Figure 24. In applications where this output voltage overshoot is undesirable, one simple solution is to add a feed-forward capacitor CFF) across the top feedback resistor R1 to speed Gm Amplifier recovery. In practice, a 27nF to 100nF ceramic capacitor is usually a good choice to remove the overshoot completely or limit the overshoot to an insignificant level during startup, as shown in Figure 25. Another more effective solution is to control EN pin voltage by a separate logic signal, and pull the signal high only after VIN is fully established. In this way, the chip can execute a normal, complete soft start process, minimizing any output voltage overshoot. Under some circumstances at cold temperature, this approach may also be required to minimize any unwanted output voltage transients that may occur when the input voltage rises slowly. For a fast rising input voltage (100µs for example), there is no need to control EN separately or add a feed-forward capacitor since the soft-start can bring up output voltage smoothly as shown in Figure 26. During startup, the LMR10530 gradually increases the switching frequency from 400kHz (LMR10530X) or 800kHz (LMR10530Y) to the nominal fixed value, as the feedback voltage increases (see Frequency Foldback section for more information). Since the internal corrective ramp signal adjusts its slope dynamically, and is proportional to the switching frequency during startup, a larger output capacitance may be required to insure a smooth output voltage rise, at low programmed output voltage and high output load current.

Startup Response to VIN with CFF Figure 26. Startup Response to VIN with 100µs rise time FREQUENCY FOLDBACK The LMR10530 uses frequency foldback to help limit switch current and power dissipation during start-up, shortcircuit and over load conditions by sensing if the feedback voltage is below 0.32V (typical). The LMR10530 will reduce the switching frequency from the nominal fixed value (1.5MHz or 3.0MHz) down to 400kHz (LMR10530X) or 800kHz (LMR10530Y) when the feedback voltage drops to 0V. See the Frequency Foldback plot in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2012–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMR10530 LMR10530 www.ti.com SNVS814A – JUNE 2012 – REVISED APRIL 2013 LOAD STEP RESPONSE The LMR10530 has a fixed internal loop compensation, which results in a small-signal loop bandwidth highly related to the output voltage level. In general, the loop bandwidth at low voltage is larger than at high voltage due to the increased overall loop gain. The limited bandwidth at high output voltage may pose a challenge when loop step response is concerned. In this case, one effective approach to improving loop step response is to add a feed-forward capacitor CFF) in the range of 27nF to 100nF in parallel with the upper feedback resistor (assuming the lower feedback resistor is 2kΩ), as shown in Figure 27. The feed-forward capacitor introduces a zero-pole pair which helps compensate the loop. The position of the zero-pole pair is a function of the feedback resistors and capacitor: (1) (2) Note the factor in parenthesis is the ratio of the output voltage to the feedback voltage. As the output voltage gets close to 0.6V, the pole moves towards the zero, tending to cancel it out. Consequently, adding CFF will have less effect on the step response at lower output voltages. As an example, Figure 29 shows that at the output voltage of 3.3V, a 47nF of CFF can boost the loop bandwidth to 117kHz, from the original 23kHz as shown in Figure 28. Correspondingly, the responses to a load step between 0.3A and 3A without and with CFF are shown in Figure 30 and Figure 31 respectively. The higher loop bandwidth as a result of CFF reduces the total output excursion by more than half. Aside from the above approach, increasing the output capacitance is generally also effective to reduce the excursion in output voltage caused by a load step. This approach remains valid for applications where the desired output voltages are close to the feedback voltage. Figure 27.

Load Step Response without CFF Figure 31. Load Step Response with CFF OUTPUT OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION The LMR10530 has a built in output over-voltage comparator that compares the FB pin voltage to a threshold voltage that is 15% higher than the internal reference VREF. Once the FB pin voltage exceeds this threshold level (typically 0.69V), the internal PMOS power switch is turned off, which allows the output voltage to decrease towards regulation. UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) prevents the LMR10530 from operating until the input voltage exceeds 2.70V (typical). The UVLO threshold has approximately 350mV of hysteresis, so the part will operate until VIN drops below 2.35V (typical). Hysteresis prevents the part from turning off during power up if VIN is non-monotonic.

During each switching cycle, a current limit comparator detects if the power switch current exceeds 4.4A (typical), and turns off the switch until the next switching cycle begins. THERMAL SHUTDOWN Thermal shutdown limits total power dissipation by turning off the internal power switch when the IC junction temperature typically exceeds 165°C. After thermal shutdown occurs, the power switch does not turn on again until the junction temperature drops below approximately 150°C. Design Guide INDUCTOR SELECTION The Duty Cycle (D) can be approximated quickly using the ratio of output voltage (VOUT) to input voltage (VIN): D= VOUT VIN (3) The catch diode (D1) forward voltage drop and the voltage drop across the internal PMOS must be included to calculate a more accurate duty cycle. Calculate D by using the following formula: D= VOUT + VD VIN + VD - VSW (4) VSW can be approximated by: VSW = IOUT x RDS(ON) where • IOUT is output load current. (5) The diode forward drop (VD) can range from 0.3V to 0.7V depending on the quality of the diode. The lower the VD, the higher the operating efficiency of the converter. The inductor value determines the output ripple current (ΔiL, as defined in Figure 23). Lower inductor values decrease the size of the inductor, but increase the output ripple current. An increase in the inductor value will decrease the output ripple current. In general, the ratio of ripple current to the output current is optimized when it is set between 0.2 and 0.4 for output currents above 2A. This ratio r is defined as: r= 'iL lOUT (6) One must ensure that the minimum current limit (3.4A) is not exceeded, so the peak current in the inductor must be calculated. The peak current (ILPK) in the inductor is calculated by: ILPK = IOUT + ΔiL/2 (7) When the designed maximum output current is reduced, the ratio r can be increased. At a current of 0.1A, r can be made as high as 0.9. The ripple ratio can be increased at lighter loads because the net ripple is actually quite low, and if r remains constant the inductor value can be made quite large. An equation empirically developed for the maximum ripple ratio at any current below 2A is: r = 0.387 x IOUT-0.3667 (8) Note that this is just a guideline, and it needs to be combined with two important factors for proper selection of inductance values at any operating condition. The first consideration is at output voltage above 2.5V, one needs to ensure that the inductance given by the above guideline should not be less than 1µH for the LMR10530X or 0.5µH for the LMR10530Y. Since the LMR10530 has a fixed internal corrective ramp signal, a very low inductance value at high output voltage will generate a very steep down slope of inductor current, which will result in an insufficient slope compensation, and cause instability known as sub-harmonic oscillation. Another consideration is at low load current, one needs to ensure that the inductance value given by the guideline should not exceed 10µH for the LMR10530X and 4.7µH for the LMR10530Y, since too much inductance effectively flattens the down slope of the inductor current, and may significantly limit the system bandwidth and phase margin resulting in instability. 16 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2012–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMR10530 LMR10530 www.ti.com SNVS814A – JUNE 2012 – REVISED APRIL 2013 The LMR10530 operates at frequencies allowing the use of ceramic output capacitors without compromising transient response. Ceramic capacitors allow higher inductor ripple without significantly increasing output ripple. See the Output Capacitor section for more details on calculating output voltage ripple. Now that the ripple current is determined, the inductance is calculated by: L= VOUT + VD IOUT x r x fSW x (1-D) where • fSW is the switching frequency. (9) When selecting an inductor, make sure that it is capable of supporting the peak output current without saturating. Inductor saturation will result in a sudden reduction in inductance and prevent the regulator from operating properly. Because of the operating frequency of the LMR10530, ferrite based inductors are preferred to minimize core losses. This presents little restriction since the variety and availability of ferrite-based inductors is large. Lastly, inductors with lower series resistance (DCR) will provide better operating efficiency. For recommended inductor selection, refer to Design Examples. INPUT CAPACITOR An input capacitor is necessary to ensure that VIN does not drop excessively during switching transients. The primary specifications of the input capacitor are capacitance, voltage rating, RMS current rating, and ESL (Equivalent Series Inductance). The input voltage rating is specifically stated by the capacitor manufacturer. Make sure to check any recommended deratings and also verify if there is any significant change in capacitance at the operating input voltage and the operating temperature. The input capacitor maximum RMS input current rating (IRMS-IN) must be greater than: 2 IRMS-IN = IOUT x D x 1 - D + r 12 (10) Neglecting inductor ripple simplifies the above equation to: IRMS-IN = IOUT x D x 1 - D (11) It can be shown from the above equation that maximum RMS capacitor current occurs when D = 0.5. Always calculate the RMS at the point where the duty cycle D is closest to 0.5. The ESL of an input capacitor is usually determined by the effective cross sectional area of the current path. As a rule of thumb, a large leaded capacitor will have high ESL and a 1206 ceramic chip capacitor will have very low ESL. At the operating frequencies of the LMR10530, leaded capacitors may have an ESL so large that the resulting impedance (2πfL) will be higher than that required to provide stable operation. It is strongly recommended to use ceramic capacitors due to their low ESR and low ESL. A 22µF multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is a good choice for most applications. In cases where large capacitance is required, use surface mount capacitors such as Tantalum capacitors and place at least a 4.7µF ceramic capacitor close to the VIN pin. For MLCCs it is recommended to use X7R or X5R dielectrics. Consult capacitor manufacturer datasheet to see how rated capacitance varies over operating conditions. OUTPUT CAPACITOR The output capacitor is selected based upon the desired output ripple and transient response. The initial current of a load transient is provided mainly by the output capacitor. The output ripple of the converter is: 'VOUT = 'IL RESR + 1 8 x fSW x COUT (12) When using MLCCs, the ESR is typically so low that the capacitive ripple may dominate. When this occurs, the output ripple will be approximately sinusoidal and 90° phase shifted from the switching action. Given the availability and quality of MLCCs and the expected output voltage of designs using the LMR10530, there is really no need to review any other capacitor technologies. Another benefit of ceramic capacitors is their ability to bypass high frequency noise. A certain amount of switching edge noise will couple through parasitic capacitances in the inductor to the output. A ceramic capacitor will bypass this noise while a tantalum will not. Since the output capacitor is one of the two external components that control the stability of the regulator control loop, most applications will require a minimum of 22µF output capacitance. In the case of low output voltage, a Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2012–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMR10530 17 LMR10530 SNVS814A – JUNE 2012 – REVISED APRIL 2013 www.ti.com larger output capacitance is required to ensure sufficient phase margin. Capacitance can often, but not always, be increased significantly with little detriment to the regulator stability. Like the input capacitor, recommended multilayer ceramic capacitors are X7R or X5R types. Again, verify actual capacitance at the desired operating voltage and temperature. Check the RMS current rating of the capacitor. The maximum RMS current rating of the capacitor is: (13) One may select a 1206 size MLCC for output capacitor, since its current rating is typically above 1A, more than enough for the requirement. CATCH DIODE The catch diode conducts during the switch off-time. A Schottky diode is recommended for its fast switching time and low forward voltage drop. The catch diode should be chosen such that its current rating is greater than: ID = IOUT x (1-D) (14) The reverse breakdown rating of the diode must be at least the maximum input voltage plus appropriate margin. To improve efficiency, choose a Schottky diode with a low forward voltage drop. OUTPUT VOLTAGE The output voltage is set using the following equation where R2 is connected between the FB pin and GND, and R1 is connected between VOUT and the FB pin. A good value for R2 is 2kΩ. R1 = VOUT VREF - 1 x R2 (15) (16) VREF = 0.60V EFFICIENCY ESTIMATION The complete LMR10530 DC/DC converter efficiency can be calculated in the following manner: K= POUT PIN (17) Or K= POUT POUT + PLOSS (18) Calculations for determining the most significant power losses are shown below. Other losses totaling less than 2% are not discussed. The main power loss (PLOSS) in the converter includes two basic types of losses: switching loss and conduction loss. In addition, there is loss associated with the power required for the internal circuitry of IC. Conduction losses usually dominate at higher output loads, whereas switching losses dominate at lower output loads. The first step in determining the losses is to calculate the duty cycle (D): D= VOUT + VD VIN + VD - VSW (19) VSW is the voltage drop across the internal power switch when it is on, and is equal to: VSW = IOUT x RDS(ON) (20) VD is the forward voltage drop across the catch diode. It can be obtained from the diode manufactures Electrical Characteristics section. If the DC voltage drop across the inductor (VDCR) is accounted for, the equation becomes: D= VOUT + VD + VDCR VIN + VD - VSW (21) The conduction losses in the catch diode are calculated as follows: PDIODE = VD x IOUT x (1-D) 18 (22) Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2012–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMR10530 LMR10530 www.ti.com SNVS814A – JUNE 2012 – REVISED APRIL 2013 Often this is the single most significant power loss in the circuit. Care should be taken to choose a Schottky diode with a low forward voltage drop. Another significant external power loss is the conduction loss in the output inductor. The equation can be simplified to: PIND = IOUT2 x RDCR (23) The LMR10530 conduction loss is mainly associated with the internal power switch: 2 PCOND = (IOUT x D) x 1 + 'iL 1 x 3 IOUT 2 x RDS (ON) (24) If the inductor ripple current is fairly small, the conduction losses can be simplified to: PCOND = IOUT2 x RDS(ON) x D (25) Switching losses are also associated with the internal power switch. They occur during the switch on and off transition periods, where voltages and currents overlap resulting in power loss. The simplest means to determine this loss is to empirically measuring the rise and fall times (10% to 90%) of the switch at the switch node. Switching Power Loss is calculated as follows: PSWR = 0.5 x (VIN x IOUT x fSW x TRISE) PSWF = 0.5 x (VIN x IOUT x fSW x TFALL) PSW = PSWR + PSWF (26) (27) (28) The power loss required for operation of the internal circuitry is given by: PQ = IQ x VIN (29) IQ is the quiescent operating current, and is typically around 3.2mA for the LMR10530X, and 4.3mA for the LMR10530Y. An example of efficiency calculation for a typical application is shown in Table 1: Table 1.

The most important consideration is the close coupling of the GND connections of the input capacitor Cin and the catch diode D1. These ground ends should be close to one another and be connected to the GND plane with at least two through-holes. Place these components as close to the IC as possible. The next consideration is the location of the GND connection of the output capacitor Co, which should be near the GND connections of C1 and D1. There should be a continuous ground plane on the bottom layer of a two-layer board except under the switching node island. The signal ground SGND (pin 3) and power ground PGND (pin 6) should be tied together and connected to ground plane through vias. The FB pin is a high impedance node and care should be taken to make the FB trace short to avoid noise pickup that causes inaccurate regulation. The feedback resistors should be placed as close as possible to the IC, with the GND of Rfbb placed as close as possible to the SGND of the IC. The VOUT trace to Rfb1 should be routed away from the inductor and any other traces that are switching. High AC currents flow through the VIN, SW and VOUT traces, so they should be as short and wide as possible. Radiated noise can be decreased by choosing a shielded inductor. The remaining components should also be placed as close as possible to the IC. Please see Application Note AN-2280 SNVU192 for further considerations and the LMR10530 demo board as an example of a four-layer layout. 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2012–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMR10530 LMR10530 www.ti.com SNVS814A – JUNE 2012 – REVISED APRIL 2013 LMR10530X Design Example 1 VIN 9,10 SW VIND L1 7,8 VOUT D1 R3 2 1 C1 R1 EN LMR10530X FB VINC C3 NC SGND 5 C2 4 R2 PGND 3 6 Figure 32.
