All Rights Reserved. 6 MP28115 – 4A, 1.5MHz SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN CONVERTER FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION PWM Control The MP28115 is a constant frequency peakcurrent-mode control PWM switching regulator. Refer to the functional block diagram, The high side N-Channel DMOS power switch is turns on at the beginning of each clock cycle. The current in the inductor increases until the PWM current comparator trips to turn off the high side DMOS switch. The peak inductor current at which the current comparator shuts off the high side power switch is controlled by the COMP voltage at the output of feedback error amplifier. The transconductance from the COMP voltage to the output current is set at 11.25A/V. This current-mode control greatly simplifies the feedback compensation design by approximating the switching converter as a single-pole system. Only Type II compensation network is needed, which is integrated into the MP28115. The loop bandwidth is adjusted by changing the upper resistor value of the resistor divider at the FB pin. The internal compensation in the MP28115 simplifies the compensation design, minimizes external component counts, and keeps the flexibility of external compensation for optimal stability and transient response. Enable and Frequency Synchronization (EN/SYNC PIN) This is a dual function input pin. Forcing this pin below 0.4V for longer than 4μs shuts down the part; forcing this pin above 1.6V for longer than 4µs turns on the part. Applying a 1MHz to 2MHz clock signal to this pin also synchronizes the internal oscillator frequency to the external clock. When the external clock is used, the part turns on after detecting the first few clocks regardless of duty cycles. If any ON or OFF period of the clock is longer than 4µs, the signal will be intercepted as an enable input and disables the synchronization. At this point the reference voltage takes over at the non-inverting error amplifier input. The softstart time is internally set at 120µs. If the output of the MP28115 is pre-biased to a certain voltage during startup, the IC will disable the switching of both high-side and low-side switches until the voltage on the internal soft-start capacitor exceeds the sensed output voltage at the FB pin. Over current Protection The MP28115 offers cycle-to-cycle current limiting for both high-side and low-side switches. The high-side current limit is relatively constant regardless of duty cycles. When the output is shorted to ground, causing the output voltage to drop below 70% of its nominal output, the IC is shut down momentarily and begins discharging the soft start capacitor. It will restart with a full soft-start when the soft- start capacitor is fully discharged. This hiccup process is repeated until the fault is removed. Power Good Output (POK PIN) The MP28115 includes an open-drain Power Good output that indicates whether the regulator output is within ±10% of its nominal output. When the output voltage moves outside this range, the POK output is pulled to ground. There is a 30µs deglitch time when the POK output change its state. Bootstrap (BST PIN) The gatedriver voltage for the high-side Nchannel DMOS power switch is supplied by a bootstrap capacitor connected between the BS and SW pins. When the low-side switch is on, the capacitor is charged through an internal boost diode. When the high-side switch is off and the low-side switch turns on, the voltage on the bootstrap capacitor is boosted above the input voltage and the internal bootstrap diode prevents the capacitor from discharging. . Soft-Start and Output Pre-Bias Startup When the soft-start period starts, an internal current source begins charging an internal softstart capacitor. During soft-start the voltage on the soft-start capacitor is connected to the noninverting input of the error amplifier. The soft-start period lasts until the voltage on the soft-start capacitor exceeds the reference voltage of 0.8V. MP28115 Rev. 0.92 8/23/2010 www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information.

All Rights Reserved. 7 MP28115 – 4A, 1.5MHz SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN CONVERTER APPLICATION INFORMATION Output Voltage Setting The external resistor divider sets the output voltage (see Page 1). The feedback resistor R1 also sets the feedback loop bandwidth with the internal compensation (refer to description function). The relation between R1 and feedback loop bandwidth (fC), output capacitance (CO) is as following: 1.24 × 106 R1(KΩ) = fC (KHz) × CO (uF) The feedback loop bandwidth (fC) is no higher than 1/10 of switching frequency of MP2119. In the case of ceramic capacitor as CO, it’s usually set to be in the range of 50 kHz and 150 kHz for optimal transient performance and good phase margin. If electrolytic capacitor is used, the loop bandwidth is no higher than 1/4 of the ESR zero frequency (fESR). fESR is given by: 1 fESR = 2π × RESR × CO For example, choose fC=70 kHz with ceramic capacitor, CO=47uF, R1 is estimated to be 400kΩ. R2 is then given by: R1 R2 = VOUT -1 0.8V Table 1—Resistor Selection vs. Output Voltage Setting VOUT (V) R1 (kΩ) R2 (kΩ) L (μH) COUT (ceramic) 1.2 1.5 1.8 2.5 3.3 400 400 400 400 400 806 453 316 187 127 0.47μH-1μH 0.47μH-1μH 0.47μH-1μH 0.47μH-1μH 0.47μH-1μH 47μF 47μF 47μF 47μF 47μF Inductor Selection A 0.47µH to 1µH inductor with DC current rating at least 25% higher than the maximum load current is recommended for most applications. For best efficiency, the inductor DC resistance shall be <10mΩ. See Table 2 for recommended inductors and manufacturers. For most designs, the inductance value can be derived from the following equation: L= VOUTx(VIN - VOUT) VINxΔILxfOSC where ∆IL is Inductor Ripple Current. Choose inductor ripple current approximately 30% of the maximum load current, 4A. The maximum inductor peak current is: IL(MAX) = ILOAD + ΔIL 2 Under light load conditions, larger inductance is recommended for improved efficiency. Input Capacitor Selection The input capacitor reduces the surge current drawn from the input and the switching noise from the device. The input capacitor impedance at the switching frequency shall be less than input source impedance to prevent high frequency switching current passing to the input source. Ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics are highly recommended because of their low ESR and small temperature coefficients. For most applications, a 47µF capacitor is sufficient.

The output capacitor impedance shall be low at the switching frequency. Ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended. The output ripple ∆VOUT is approximately: ΔVOUT ≤ VOUTx(VIN - VOUT) 1 x(ESR + ) VINxfOSCxL 8xfOSCxC3 PCB Layout Guide PCB layout is very important to achieve stable operation. It is highly recommended to duplicate EVB layout for optimum performance. If change is necessary, please follow these guidelines as follows. Here, the typical application circuit is taken as an example to illustrate the key layout rules should be followed. 1) For MP28115, a PCB layout with more than (or) four layers is recommended. External Schottky Diode For this part, an external schottky diode is recommended to be placed close to "SW" and "GND" pins, especially when the output current is larger than 2A. 2) The high current paths (GND, IN and SW) should be placed very close to the device with short, direct and wide traces. With the external schottky diode, the voltage spike and negative kick on "SW" pin can be minimized; moreover, the conversion efficiency can also be improved a little. (2 x (10μF~22μF)) are strongly recommended to be placed on both sides of the MP28115 package and keep them as close as possible to the “IN” and “GND” pins. If this placement is not possible, a ceramic cap (10μF~47μF) must be placed across PIN7-“IN”and PIN9-“GND” since the internal Vcc supply is powered from PIN7, and good decoupling is needed to avoid any interference issues. For the external schottky diode selection, it's noteworthy that the maximum reverse voltage rating of the external diode should be larger than the maximum input voltage. As for the current rating of this diode, 0.5A rating should be sufficient. 3) For MP28115, two input ceramic capacitors 4) The external feedback resistors shall be placed next to the FB pin. Keep the FB trace as short as possible. Don’t place test points on FB trace if possible. 5) Keep the switching node SW short and away from the feedback network.
