Thermal shutdown
The L5973AD is a step down monolithic power
switching regulator with a switch current limit of
2A so it is able to deliver more than 1.5A DC
current to the load depending on the application
conditions.
The output voltage can be set from 1.235V to 35V.
The high current level is also achieved thanks to
an SO8 package with exposed frame, that allows
to reduce the RthJA down to approximately
40°C/W.
The device uses an internal P-Channel D-MOS
transistor (with a typical of 200mΩ) as switching
element to avoid the use of bootstrap capacitor
and guarantee high efficiency.
An internal oscillator fixes the switching frequency
at 500KHz to minimize the size of external
components.
Having a minimum input voltage of 4V only, it is
particularly suitable for 5V bus, available in all
computer related applications.
Pulse by pulse current limit with the internal
frequency modulation offers an effective constant
current short circuit protection.

Description
Regulator output.
SYNC
Master/Slave Synchronization. When it is open, a signal synchronous with the
turn-off of the internal power is present at the pin. When connected to an
external signal at a frequency higher than the internal one, then the device is
synchronized by the external signal.
Connecting together the SYNC pin of two devices, the one with the higher
frequency works as master and the other one, works as slave.
3
INH
A logical signal (active high) disables the device. With IHN higher than 2.2V
the device is OFF and with INH lower than 0.8V, the device is ON.
If INH is not used the pin must be grounded. When it is open, an internal pullup disables the device.

COMP
2
E/A output to be used for frequency compensation.
Stepdown feedback input. Connecting the output voltage directly to this pin
results in an output voltage of 1.235V. An external resistor divider is required
for higher output voltages (the typical value for the resistor connected
between this pin and ground is 4.7K).

L5973AD
Power supply & voltage reference
The internal regulator circuit (shown in Figure 3) consists of a start-up circuit, an internal
voltage Preregulator, the Bandgap voltage reference and the Bias block that provides
current to all the blocks.
The Starter gives the start-up currents to the whole device when the input voltage goes high
and the device is enabled (inhibit pin connected to ground).
The Preregulator block supplies the Bandgap cell with a preregulated voltage VREG that has
a very low supply voltage noise sensitivity.
4.2
Voltages monitor
An internal block senses continuously the VCC, Vref and Vbg. If the voltages go higher than
their thresholds, the regulator starts to work. There is also an hysteresis on the VCC
(UVLO).

Oscillator & synchronizator
Figure 4 shows the block diagram of the oscillator circuit.
The Clock Generator provides the switching frequency of the device that is internally fixed at
500KHz. The frequency shifter block acts reducing the switching frequency in case of strong
overcurrent or short circuit. The clock signal is then used in the internal logic circuitry and is
the input of the Ramp Generator and Synchronizator blocks.
The Ramp Generator circuit provides the sawtooth signal, used to realize the PWM control
and the internal voltage feed forward, while the Synchronizator circuit generates the
synchronization signal. Infact the device has a synchronization pin that can works both as
Master and Slave.
As Master to synchronize external devices to the internal switching frequency.
8/21
L5973AD
Functional description
As Slave to synchronize itself by external signal.
In particular, connecting together two devices, the one with the lower switching frequency
works as Slave and the other one works as Master.
To synchronize the device, the SYNC pin has to pass from a low level to a level higher than
the synchronization threshold with a duty cycle that can vary approximately from 10% to
90%, depending also on the signal frequency and amplitude.
The frequency of the synchronization signal must be at least higher than the internal
switching frequency of the device (500KHz).

Current protection
The L5973AD has two current limit protections, pulse by pulse and frequency fold back.
The schematic of the current limitation circuitry for the pulse by pulse protection is shown in
Figure 5.
The output power PDMOS transistor is split in two parallel PDMOS. The smallest one has a
resistor in series, RSENSE. The current is sensed through Rsense and if reaches the
threshold, the mirror is unbalanced and the PDMOS is switched off until the next falling edge
of the internal clock pulse.
Due to this reduction of the ON time, the output voltage decreases.
Since the minimum switch ON time (necessary to avoid false overcurrent signal) is not
enough to obtain a sufficiently low duty cycle at 500KHz, the output current, in strong
overcurrent or short circuit conditions, could increase again. For this reason the switching
frequency is also reduced, so keeping the inductor current under its maximum threshold.
The Frequency Shifter (see Figure 4) depends on the feedback voltage. As the feedback
voltage decreases (due to the reduced duty cycle), the switching frequency decreases too.

Error amplifier
The voltage error amplifier is the core of the loop regulation. It is a transconductance
operational amplifier whose non inverting input is connected to the internal voltage
reference (1.235V), while the inverting input (FB) is connected to the external divider or
directly to the output voltage. The output (COMP) is connected to the external compensation
network.
The uncompensated error amplifier has the following characteristics:

4.6
Functional description
PWM comparator and power stage
This block compares the oscillator sawtooth and the error amplifier output signals
generating the PWM signal for the driving stage. The power stage is a very critical block
cause it has to guarantee a correct turn on and turn OFF of the PDMOS. The turn ON of the
power element, or better, the rise time of the current at turn on, is a very critical parameter to
compromise.
At a first approach, it looks like the faster it is the rise time, the lower are the turn on losses.
But there is a limit introduced by the recovery time of the recirculation diode. In fact when the
current of the power element equals the inductor current, the diode turns off and the drain of
the power is free to go high. But during its recovery time, the diode can be considered as an
high value capacitor and this produces a very high peak current, responsible of many
problems:
●
Spikes on the device supply voltage that cause oscillations (and thus noise) due to the
board parasitics.
●
Turn ON overcurrent causing a decrease of the efficiency and system reliability.
●
Big EMI problems.
●
Shorter freewheeling diode life.
The fall time of the current during the turn off is also critical. In fact it produces voltage
spikes (due to the parasitics elements of the board) that increase the voltage drop across
the PDMOS.
In order to minimize all these problems, a new topology of driving circuit has been used and
its block diagram is shown in Figure 6.
The basic idea is to change the current levels used to turn on and off the power switch,
according with the PDMOS status and with the gate clamp status.
This circuitry allow to turn off and on quickly the power switch and to manage the above
question related to the freewheeling diode recovery time problem.
The gate clamp is necessary to avoid that Vgs of the internal switch goes higher than
Vgsmax. The ON/OFF Control block avoids any cross conduction between the supply line
and ground.

Inhibit function
The inhibit feature allows to put in stand-by mode the device. With INH pin higher than 2.2V
the device is disabled and the power consumption is reduced to less than 100µA. With INH
pin lower than 0.8V, the device is enabled. If the INH pin is left floating, an internal pull up
ensures that the voltage at the pin reaches the inhibit threshold and the device is disabled.
The pin is also Vcc compatible.
4.8
Thermal shutdown
The shutdown block generates a signal that turns off the power stage if the temperature of
the chip goes higher than a fixed internal threshold (150°C). The sensing element of the
chip is very close to the PDMOS area, so ensuring an accurate and fast temperature
detection. An hysteresis of approximately 20°C avoids that the devices turns on and off
continuously

Additional features and protections

Additional features and protections
5.1
Feedback disconnection
In case of feedback disconnection, the duty cycle increases versus the maximum allowed
value, bringing the output voltage close to the input supply. This condition could destroy the
load.
To avoid this dangerous condition, the device is turned off if the feedback pin remains
floating.
5.2
Output overvoltage protection
The overvoltage protection, OVP, is realized by using an internal comparator, which input is
connected to the feedback, that turns off the power stage when the OVP threshold is
reached. This threshold is typically 30% higher than the feedback voltage.
When a voltage divider is requested for adjusting the output voltage (see test application
circuit), the OVP intervention will be set at:
Equation 1
R1 + R2
V OVP = 1.3 ⋅ -------------------- ⋅ V FB
R2
Where R1 is the resistor connected between the output voltage and the feedback pin, while
R2 is between the feedback pin and ground.
5.3
Zero load
Due to the fact that the internal power is a PDMOS, no boostrap capacitor is required and
so, the device works properly also with no load at the output. In this condition it works in
burst mode, with random repetition rate of the burst.
5.4
Application circuit
In Figure 7 is shown the demo board application circuit, where the input supply voltage,
VCC, can range from 4V to 25V due to the rated voltage of the input capacitor and the output
voltage is adjustable from 1.235V to VCC.
