AOZ1084
Detailed Description
The AOZ1084 is a high efficiency, simple to use, 1.2A
buck HB LED driver optimized for general lighting
applications. Features include enable control, under
voltage lock-out, internal soft-start, output over-voltage
protection, over-current protection and thermal shut
down.
The AOZ1084 is available in a DFN2x2-8L package.
Soft Start and PWM Dimming
LED current can be set by feeding back the output to the
FB pin with the sense resistor RS shown in Figure 1.
The LED current can be programmed as:
0.16
I LED = ----------RS
Protection Features
The AOZ1084 has internal soft start feature to limit
in-rush current and ensure the output voltage ramps up
smoothly to regulation voltage. A soft start process
begins when the input voltage rises to the voltage higher
than UVLO and voltage on Dim pin is HIGH. In soft start
process, the output voltage is ramped to regulation
voltage in typically 600s. The 600s soft start time is set
internally.
The DIM pin of the AOZ1084 is active high. Connect the
DIM pin to VIN if enable function is not used. Pull it to
ground will disable the AOZ1084. Do not leave it open.
The voltage on DIM pin must be above 1.2V to enable
the AOZ1084. When voltage on DIM pin falls below 0.4V,
the AOZ1084 is disabled.
Steady-State Operation
Under steady-state conditions, the converter operates in
fixed frequency and Continuous-Conduction Mode
(CCM).
The AOZ1084 integrates an internal NMOS as the highside switch. Inductor current is sensed by amplifying the
voltage drop across the drain to source of the high side
power MOSFET. Output voltage is divided down by the
external voltage divider at the FB pin. The difference of
the FB pin voltage and reference is amplified by the
internal transconductance error amplifier. The error
voltage, is compared against the current signal, which is
sum of inductor current signal and ramp compensation
signal, at PWM comparator input. If the current signal is
less than the error voltage, the internal high-side switch
is on. The inductor current flows from the input through
the inductor to the output. When the current signal
exceeds the error voltage, the high-side switch is off. The
inductor current is freewheeling through the external
Schottky diode to output.
Switching Frequency
The AOZ1084 switching frequency is fixed and set by an
internal oscillator. The switching frequency is set
internally 450kHz.
Rev. 0.3 April 2012
LED Current Programming
The AOZ1084 has multiple protection features to prevent
system circuit damage under abnormal conditions.
Over Current Protection (OCP)
The sensed inductor current signal is also used for over
current protection.
The cycle by cycle current limit threshold is set normal
value of 2A. When the load current reaches the current
limit threshold, the cycle by cycle current limit circuit turns
off the high side switch immediately to terminate the
current duty cycle. The inductor current stop rising. The
cycle by cycle current limit protection directly limits
inductor peak current. The average inductor current is
also limited due to the limitation on peak inductor current.
When cycle by cycle current limit circuit is triggered, the
output voltage drops as the duty cycle decreasing.
The AOZ1084 has internal short circuit protection to
protect itself from catastrophic failure under output short
circuit conditions. As a result, the converter is shut down
and hiccups. The converter will start up via a soft start
once the short circuit condition disappears. In short
circuit protection mode, the inductor average current is
greatly reduced.
UVLO
An UVLO circuit monitors the input voltage. When the
input voltage exceeds 2.9V, the converter starts
operation. When input voltage falls below 2.2V, the
converter will stop switching.
Thermal Protection
An internal temperature sensor monitors the junction
temperature. It shuts down the internal control circuit and
high side NMOS if the junction temperature exceeds
150ºC. The regulator will restart automatically under the
control of soft-start circuit when the junction temperature
decreases to 110°C.

AOZ1084
Application Information
The basic AOZ1084 application circuit is shown in
Figure 1. Component selection is explained below.
Input Capacitor
The input capacitor must be connected to the VIN pin
and PGND pin of the AOZ1084 to maintain steady input
voltage and filter out the pulsing input current. The
voltage rating of input capacitor must be greater than
maximum input voltage plus ripple voltage.
The input ripple voltage can be approximated by
equation below::
VO  VO
IO

V IN = -----------------   1 – ---------  --------f  C IN 
V IN V IN
Inductor
Since the input current is discontinuous in a buck
converter, the current stress on the input capacitor is
another concern when selecting the capacitor. For a buck
circuit, the RMS value of input capacitor current can be
calculated by:
VO 
VO 
-  1 – --------
I CIN_RMS = I O  -------V IN 
V IN
The inductor is used to supply constant current to output
when it is driven by a switching voltage. For given input
and output voltage, inductance and switching frequency
together decide the inductor ripple current, which is:
VO 
VO 
-
I L = -----------   1 – -------fL 
V IN
The peak inductor current is:
I L
I Lpeak = I O + -------2
if we let m equal the conversion ratio:
VO
-------- = m
V IN
The relationship between the input capacitor RMS
current and voltage conversion ratio is calculated and
shown in Figure 2. It can be seen that when VO is half of
VIN, CIN is under the worst current stress. The worst
current stress on CIN is at 0.5 x IO.
0.5
High inductance gives low inductor ripple current but
requires larger size inductor to avoid saturation. Low
ripple current reduces inductor core losses. It also
reduces RMS current through inductor and switches,
which results in less conduction loss.
When selecting the inductor, make sure it is able to
handle the peak current without saturation even at the
highest operating temperature.
The inductor takes the highest current in a buck circuit.
The conduction loss on inductor needs to be checked for
thermal and efficiency requirements.

Surface mount inductors in different shape and styles are
available from Coilcraft, Elytone and Murata. Shielded
inductors are small and radiate less EMI noise. But they
cost more than unshielded inductors. The choice
depends on EMI requirement, price and size.

For reliable operation and best performance, the input
capacitors must have current rating higher than ICIN-RMS
at worst operating conditions. Ceramic capacitors are
preferred for input capacitors because of their low ESR
and high ripple current rating. Depending on the
application circuits, other low ESR tantalum capacitor or
aluminum electrolytic capacitor may also be used. When
selecting ceramic capacitors, X5R or X7R type dielectric
ceramic capacitors are preferred for their better
temperature and voltage characteristics. Note that the
ripple current rating from capacitor manufactures are
based on certain amount of life time. Further de-rating
may be necessary for practical design requirement.

Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is selected based on the DC output
voltage rating, output ripple voltage specification and
ripple current rating.
www.aosmd.com
Page 7 of 12
AOZ1084
The selected output capacitor must have a higher rated
voltage specification than the maximum desired output
voltage including ripple. De-rating needs to be
considered for long term reliability.
Output ripple voltage specification is another important
factor for selecting the output capacitor. In a buck
converter circuit, output ripple voltage is determined by
inductor value, switching frequency, output capacitor
value and ESR. It can be calculated by the equation
below:
1
V O = I L   ESR CO + -------------------------

8fC 
O
where,
CO is output capacitor value, and
ESRCO is the equivalent series resistance of the output
capacitor.
When low ESR ceramic capacitor is used as output
capacitor, the impedance of the capacitor at the
switching frequency dominates. Output ripple is mainly
caused by capacitor value and inductor ripple current.
The output ripple voltage calculation can be simplified to:
1
V O = I L  ------------------------8fC
O
If the impedance of ESR at switching frequency
dominates, the output ripple voltage is mainly decided by
capacitor ESR and inductor ripple current. The output
ripple voltage calculation can be further simplified to:
V O = I L  ESR CO
For lower output ripple voltage across the entire
operating temperature range, X5R or X7R dielectric type
of ceramic, or other low ESR tantalum capacitor or
aluminum electrolytic capacitor may also be used as
output capacitors.
In a buck converter, output capacitor current is
continuous. The RMS current of output capacitor is
decided by the peak to peak inductor ripple current. It can
be calculated by:
I L
I CO_RMS = ---------12
Thermal Management and Layout
Considerations
In the AOZ1084 buck regulator circuit, high pulsing
current flows through two circuit loops. The first loop
starts from the input capacitors, to the VIN pin, to the LX
pins, to the filter inductor, to the output capacitor and
load, and then return to the input capacitor through
ground. Current flows in the first loop when the high side
switch is on. The second loop starts from inductor, to the
output capacitors and load, to the anode of Schottky
diode, to the cathode of Schottky diode. Current flows in
the second loop when the low side diode is on.
In PCB layout, minimizing the two loops area reduces the
noise of this circuit and improves efficiency. A ground
plane is strongly recommended to connect input
capacitor, output capacitor, and PGND pin of the
AOZ1084.
In the AOZ1084 buck regulator circuit, the major power
dissipating components are the AOZ1084, the Schottky
diode and output inductor. The total power dissipation of
converter circuit can be measured by input power minus
output power:
P total_loss =  V IN  I IN  –  V O  I O 
The power dissipation in the Schottky diode can be
approximated as:
P diode_loss = I O   1 – D   V FW_Schottky
where,
VFW_Schottky is the Schottky diode forward voltage
drop.
The power dissipation of the inductor can be
approximately calculated by output current and DCR of
the inductor:
Usually, the ripple current rating of the output capacitor is
a smaller issue because of the low current stress. When
the buck inductor is selected to be very small and
inductor ripple current is high, output capacitor could be
overstressed.
Rev. 0.3 April 2012
The external freewheeling diode supplies the current to
the inductor when the high side NMOS switch is off. To
reduce the losses due to the forward voltage drop and
recovery of diode, Schottky diode is recommended to
use. The maximum reverse voltage rating of the chosen
Schottky diode should be greater than the maximum
input voltage, and the current rating should be greater
than the maximum load current.
P inductor_loss = IO2  R inductor  1.1

AOZ1084
The actual junction temperature can be calculated with
power dissipation in the AOZ1084 and thermal
impedance from junction to ambient.
T junction
=  P total_loss – P diode_loss – P inductor_loss    JA
+ T ambient
The maximum junction temperature of AOZ1084 is
150ºC, which limits the maximum load current capability.
The thermal performance of the AOZ1084 is strongly
affected by the PCB layout. Extra care should be taken
by users during design process to ensure that the IC will
operate under the recommended environmental
conditions.
Several layout tips are listed below for the best electric
and thermal performance.
1. Input capacitor should be connected to the VIN pin
and the GND pin as close as possible.
2. The inductor should be placed as close as possible
the LX pin and the output capacitor.
3. Keep the connection of schottky diode between the
LX pin and the GND pin as short and wide as
possible.
4. Place the feedback resistors and compensation
components as close to the chip as possible.
5. Keep sensitive signal trace far away from the LX pin.
6. Pour a maximized copper area to the VIN pin, the LX
pin and especially the GND pin to help thermal
dissipation.
7. Pour copper plane on all unused board area and
connect it to stable DC nodes, like VIN,GND or
VOUT.
