Also, it is strongly recommended the capacitor’s leads must be short, wide and located near the regulator as possible. The important parameters for the capacitor are the voltage rating and the RMS current rating. For a maximum ambient temperature of 40℃, a general guideline would be to select a capacitor with a ripple current rating of approximately 50% of the DC load current. The capacitor voltage rating must be at least 1. 5 times greater than the maximum input voltage. For low operating temperature range, for example, below -25℃, the input capacitor value may need to be larger. This is due to the reason that the capacitance value of electrolytic capacitors decreases and the ESR increases with lower temperatures and age. Paralleling a ceramic or solid tantalum capacitor will increase the regulator stability at cold temperatures. Output Capacitors (COUT) An output capacitor is also required to filter the output voltage and is needed for loop stability. The capacitor should be located near the CM2596S using short PC board traces. Low ESR types capacitors are recommended for low output ripple voltage and good stability. Generally, low value or low voltage (less than 12V) electrolytic capacitors usually have higher ESR numbers. For example, the lower capacitor values (220uF – 1000uF) will yield typically 50mV to 150mV of output ripple voltage, while larger-value capacitors will reduce the ripple to approximately 20mV to 50mV. The amount of output ripple voltage is primarily a function of the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of the output capacitor and the amplitude of the inductor ripple current (△IIND). Output Ripple Voltage = (△IIND) x (ESR of COUT) Some capacitors called “high-frequency”, “low-inductance”, or “low-ESR” are recommended to use to further reduce the output ripple voltage to 10mV or 20mV. However, very low ESR capacitors, such as Tantalum capacitors, should be carefully evaluated. Catch Diode This diode is required to provide a return path for the inductor current when the switch is off. It should be located close to the CM2596S using short leads and short printed circuit traces as possible. To satisfy the need of fast switching speed and low forward voltage drop, Schottky diodes are widely used to provide the best efficiency, especially in low output voltage switching regulators (less than 5V). Besides, fast-Recovery, high-efficiency, or ultra-fast recovery diodes are also suitable. But some types with an abrupt turn-off characteristic may cause instability and EMI problems. A fast-recovery diode with soft recovery characteristics is better choice. 2006/11/27 Rev 1.0 Champion Microelectronic Corporation Page 8 CM2596S 3A STEP DOWN VOLTAGE REGULATOR Output Voltage Ripple and Transients The output ripple voltage is due mainly to the inductor sawtooth ripple current multiplied by the ESR of the output capacitor. The output ripple voltage of a switching power supply will contain a sawtooth ripple voltages at the switcher frequency, typically about 1% of the output voltages, and may also contain short voltage spikes of the sawtooth waveform. Due to the fast switching action, and the parasitic inductance of the output filter capacitor, there is voltage spikes presenting at the peaks of the sawtooth waveform. Cautions must be taken for stray capacitance, wiring inductance, and even the scope probes used for transients evaluation. To minimize these voltage spikes, shortening the lead length and PCB traces is always the first thought. Further more, an additional small LC filter (30uH & 100uF) (as shown in Figure 3) will possibly provide a 10X reduction in output ripple voltage and transients. 7V-40V DC INPUT 3uF Cin 470uF L1 68uH Cout 220uF Inductor Selection The CM2596S can be used for either continuous or discontinuous modes of operation. Each mode has distinctively different operating characteristics, which can affect the regulator performance and requirements. With relatively heavy load currents, the circuit operates in the continuous mode (inductor current always flowing), but under light load conditions, the circuit will be forced to the discontinuous mode (inductor current falls to zero for a period of time). For light loads (less than approximately 300mA) it may be desirable to operate the regulator in the discontinuous mode, primarily because of the lower inductor values required for the discontinuous mode. Inductors are available in different styles such as pot core, toriod, E-frame, bobbin core, et., as well as different core materials, such as ferrites and powdered iron. The least expensive, the bobbin core type, consists of wire wrapped on a ferrite rod core. This type of construction makes for an inexpensive inductor, but since the magnetic flux is not completely contained within the core, it generates more electromagnetic interference (EMI). This EMI can cause problems in sensitive circuits, or can give incorrect scope readings because of induced voltages in the scope probe. An inductor should not be operated beyond its maximum rated current because it may saturate. When an inductor begins to saturate, the inductance decreases rapidly and the inductor begins to look mainly resistive (the DC resistance of the winding). This will cause the switch current to rise very rapidly. Different inductor types have different saturation characteristics, and this should be well considered when selecting as inductor. 2006/11/27 Rev 1.0 Champion Microelectronic Corporation Page 9 CM2596S 3A STEP DOWN VOLTAGE REGULATOR Feedback Connection For fixed output voltage version, the FB (feedback) pin must be connected to VOUT. For the adjustable version, it is important to place the output voltage ratio resistors near CM2596S as possible in order to minimize the noise introduction. Enable It is required that the ENABLE must not be left open. For normal operation, connect this pin to a “LOW” voltage (typically, below 1.6V). On the other hand, for standby mode, connect this pin with a “HIGH” voltage. This pin can be safely pulled up to +VIN without a resistor in series with it. Grounding To maintain output voltage stability, the power ground connections must be low-impedance. For the 5-lead TO-220 and TO-263 style package, both the tab and pin 3 are ground and either connection may be used. Heatsink and Thermal Consideration Although the CM2596S requires only a small heatsink for most cases, the following thermal consideration is important for all operation. With the package thermal resistances θJA and θJC, total power dissipation can be estimated as follows: PD = (VIN x IQ) + (VOUT / VIN)(ILOAD x VSAT); When no heatsink is used, the junction temperature rise can be determined by the following: ΔTJ = PD x θJA; With the ambient temerpature, the actual junction temperature will be: TJ = ΔTJ + TA; If the actual operating junction temperature is out of the safe operating junction temperature (typically 125℃), then a heatsink is required. When using a heatsink, the junction temperature rise will be reduced by the following: ΔTJ = PD x (θJC + θinterface + θHeatsink); Also one can see from the above, it is important to choose an heatsink with adequate size and thermal resistance, such that to maintain the regulator’s junction temperature below the maximum operating temperature. Layout guideline As in any switching regulator, layout is very important. Rapidly switching currents associated with wiring inductance can generate voltage transients which can cause problems. For minimal inductance and ground loops, the wires indicated by heavy lines should be wide printed circuit traces and should be kept as short as possible. For best results, external components should be located as close to the switcher lC as possible using ground plane construction or single point grounding. If open core inductors are used, special care must be taken as to the location and positioning of this type of inductor. Allowing the inductor flux to intersect sensitive feedback, lC ground path and COUT wiring can cause problems. When using the adjustable version, special care must be taken as to the location of the feedback resistors and the associated wiring. Physically locate both resistors near the IC, and route the wiring away from the inductor, especially an open core type of inductor.
