POWER-UP 0.2ms/DIV FIGURE 10. LOAD TRANSIENT RESPONSE Applications Information The EL7515 is a step-up regulator, operated at fixed frequency pulse-width-modulation (PWM) control. The input voltage is 1.8V to 13.2V and output voltage is 4.5V to 17V. The switching frequency (up to 1.2MHz) is decided by the resistor connected to RT pin. Start-Up After VDD reaches a threshold of about 1.7V, the start-up oscillator generates fixed duty-ratio of 0.5 to 0.7 at a frequency of several hundred kilohertz. This will boost the output voltage. When VDD reaches about 3.7V, the PWM comparator takes over the control. The duty ratio will be decided by the multiple-input direct summing comparator, Max_Duty signal (about 90% duty-ratio), and the Current Limit Comparator, whichever is the smallest. The soft-start is provided by the current limit comparator. As the internal 12µA current source charges the external CSS, the peak MOSFET current is limited by the voltage on the FN7120 Rev 2.00 August 10, 2007 capacitor. This in turn controls the rising rate of the output voltage. The regulator goes through the start-up sequence as well after the EN signal is pulled to HI. Steady-State Operation When the output reaches the preset voltage, the regulator operates at steady state. Depending on the input/output conditions and component values, the inductor operates at either continuous-conduction mode or discontinuous-conduction mode. In the continuous-conduction mode, the inductor current is a triangular waveform and LX voltage a pulse waveform. In the discontinuous-conduction mode, the inductor current is completely dried out before the MOSFET is turned on again. The input voltage source, the inductor, and the MOSFET and output diode parasitic capacitors form a resonant circuit. Oscillation will occur in this period. This oscillation is normal and will not affect the regulation. Page 6 of 9 EL7515 At very low load, the MOSFET will skip pulses sometimes. This is normal. The inductor has peak and average current decided by Equations 4 and 5: Current Limit I L I LPK = I LAVG + -------2 (EQ. 4) IO I LAVG = ------------1–D (EQ. 5) The MOSFET current limit is nominally 1.4A and guaranteed 1A. This restricts the maximum output current IOMAX based on Equation 1: V IN I L I OMAX = 1 – -------- -------- 2 VO (EQ. 1) where: • IL is the inductor peak-to-peak current ripple and is decided by Equation 2: V IN D I L = --------- ----L fS (EQ. 2) • D is the MOSFET turn-on ratio and is decided by Equation 3: V O – V IN D = -----------------------VO The output diode has an average current of IO, and peak current the same as the inductor's peak current. A Schottky diode is recommended and it should be able to handle those currents. The output voltage ripple can be calculated as Equation 6: (EQ. 3) • fS is the switching frequency IO D V O = ---------------------- + I LPK ESR FS CO (EQ. 6) Where: The following table gives typical values: TABLE 1. MAX CONTINUOUS OUTPUT CURRENTS VIN (V) VO (V) L (ΜH) FS (kHz) IOMAX (mA) 2 5 10 1000 360 2 9 10 1000 190 2 12 10 1000 140 3.3 5 10 1000 600 3.3 9 10 1000 310 3.3 12 10 1000 230 5 9 10 1000 470 5 12 10 1000 340 9 12 10 1000 630 12 15 10 100 670 Component Considerations It is recommended that CIN is larger than 10µF. Theoretically, the input capacitor has a ripple current of IL. Due to high-frequency noise in the circuit, the input current ripple may exceed the theoretical value. A larger capacitor will reduce the ripple further. FN7120 Rev 2.00 August 10, 2007 The inductor should be chosen to be able to handle this current. Furthermore, due to the fixed internal compensation, it is recommended that maximum inductance of 10µH and 15µH to be used in the 5V and 12V or higher output voltage, respectively. • CO is the output capacitance. • The ESR is the output capacitor ESR value. Low ESR capacitors should be used to minimize the output voltage ripple. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (X5R and X7R) are preferred for the output capacitors since they have a low ESR and small packages. Tantalum capacitors also can be used, but they take more board space and have higher ESR. A minimum of 22µF output capacitor is sufficient for high output current application. For lower output current, the output capacitor can be smaller, like 4.7µF. The capacitor should always have enough voltage rating. In addition to the voltage rating, the output capacitor should also be able to handle the RMS current which is given by Equation 7: I CORMS = 2 I L 1 1 – D D + -------------------- ------ I LAVG 2 12 I LAVG (EQ. 7) Output Voltage An external resistor divider is required to divide the output voltage down to the nominal reference voltage. The current drawn by the resistor network should be limited to maintain the overall converter efficiency. The maximum value of the resistor network is limited by the feedback input bias current and the potential for noise being coupled into the feedback pin. A resistor network less than 300k is recommended. Page 7 of 9 EL7515 The boost converter output voltage is determined by the relationship in Equation 8: R 2 V OUT = V FB 1 + ------- R 1 (EQ. 8) where VFB slightly changes with VDD. The curve is shown in this data sheet. RC Filter The maximum voltage rating for the VDD pin is 12V and is recommended to be about 10V for maximum efficiency to drive the internal MOSFET. The series resistor R4 in the RC filter connected to VDD can be utilized to reduce the voltage. If VO is larger than 10V, then Equation 9 shows: V O – 10 R 4 = --------------------I DD (EQ. 9) where IDD is shown in IDD vs fS curve. Otherwise, R4 can be 10 to 51 with C4 = 0.1µF. Thermal Performance Layout Considerations The layout is very important for the converter to function properly. Power Ground ( ) and Signal Ground ( ) should be separated to ensure that the high pulse current in the Power Ground never interferes with the sensitive signals connected to Signal Ground. They should only be connected at one point. The trace connected to pin 8 (FB) is the most sensitive trace. It needs to be as short as possible and in a “quiet” place, preferably between PGND or SGND traces. In addition, the bypass capacitor connected to the VDD pin needs to be as close to the pin as possible. The heat of the chip is mainly dissipated through the SGND pin. Maximizing the copper area around it is preferable. In addition, a solid ground plane is always helpful for the EMI performance. The demo board is a good example of layout based on these principles. Please refer to the EL7515 Application Brief for the layout. http://www.intersil.com/data/tb/tb429.pdf The EL7515 uses a fused-lead package, which has a reduced JA of +100°C/W on a four-layer board and +115°C/W on a two-layer board. Maximizing copper around the ground pins will improve the thermal performance. This chip also has internal thermal shut-down set at around +135°C to protect the component.
