The inverting input of the error amplifier receives its voltage from the SENSE pin. The non-inverting input of the error amplifier is connected to an internal 0.8V reference. The error amplifier output is connected to the compensation pin. The error amplifier generates a current proportional to (0.8V-Vsense), which is the COMP pin output current (Transconductance ~ 7mS). The voltage on the COMP pin is the integral of the error amplifier current. The COMP voltage is the non-inverting input of the PWM comparator and controls the duty cycle of the MOSFET drivers. The compensation network controls the stability and transient response of the regulator. The larger capacitor, the slower COMP voltage changes, and slower the duty cycle changes. The non-inverting input voltage of the PWM comparator is the triangular ramp signal generated from the oscillator. The peak-to-peak voltage of the ramp is 1V, this is a parameter used in control loop calculation. When the oscillator ramp signal rises above the COMP voltage, the comparator output goes high and the PWM latch is reset. This pulls DH low, turning off the high-side MOSFET. After a short delay (dead time), DL is pulled high, turning on the low-side MOSFET. The oscillator also produces a set pulse for the PWM latch to turn off the low-side MOSFET, After a delay time, DH is pulled high to turn on the high-side MOSFET. The delay time is determined by a monostable on the chip. The triangle wave minimum is about 0.8V, and the maximum is about 1.8V. Thus, if Vcomp = 0.7V, high side duty cycle is the minimum (~0%) , but if Vcomp is 1.8V, duty cycle is at maximum ( ~90%).The internal oscillator uses an on-chip capacitor and trimmed precision current sources to set the oscillation frequency to 250kHz. Figure 1 shows a 2.5V output converter. If the Vout <2.5V, then the SENSE voltage < 0.8V. In this case the error amplifier will be sourcing current into the COMP pin so that COMP voltage and duty cycle will gradually increase.If Vout > 2.5V, the error amplifier will sink current and reduce the COMP voltage, so that duty cycle will decrease.The circuit will be in steady state when Vout =2.5V , Vsense = 0.8V, Icomp = 0. The COMP voltage and duty cycle depend on Vin. outputs remain in the off state whenever the supply voltage drops below the set threshold. Lockout occurs if VCC falls below 3.6V typ. Soft Start The SC2608B provides a soft start function to prevent large inrush currents upon power-up or hiccup retry. If both COMP and SENSE pins are low (<300mV), the device enters soft start mode, and the compensation capacitor is slowly charged by an internal 4uA current source. When the COMP pin reaches 300mV, the low side FET is switched on in order to refresh the bootstrap capacitor, and begin PWM from a known state. As the COMP pin rises above 800mV, PWM begins at minimum duty cycle. COMP continues to charge, slowly sweeping the device through the duty cycle range until FB reaches the regulation point of 800mV. Once FB reaches the regulation point, the soft start current is switched off, and the strong error amp is enabled, providing a glitch-free entrance into closed loop operation. The overcurrent comparator is still active during soft start mode, and will override soft start in the event that an overcurrent is detected, such as startup into a dead short. R DS(ON) Current Limiting In case of a short circuit or overload, the low-side (LS) FET will conduct large currents. To protect the regulator in this situation, the controller will shut down the regulator and begin a soft start cycle later. While the LS driver is on,the Phase voltage is compared to the OCP trip voltage. If the phase voltage is lower than OCP trip voltage, an over current condition is detected. The low-side Rdson sense is implemented at end of each LS-FET turn-on duration. The minimum turn-on time of the LS-FET is set to be 400nS. This will ensure the sampled signal is noise free by giving enough time for the switching noise to die down. OCP Hiccup In the event that an overcurrent is detected, the SC2608B latches the fault and begins a hiccup cycle. Switching is immediately stopped, and the drivers are set to a tristate condition (Both DH and DL are low). COMP is slowly discharged to 300mV with an internal 4uA current source, providing a long cooldown time to keep power dissipation low in the event of a continuous dead short. Once COMP and SENSE both fall below the 300mV threshold, the part U nder V oltage Lock out Voltage Lockout re-enables the 4uA soft start current , and the device begins The under voltage lockout circuit of the SC2608B as- a normal startup cycle again. sures that both high-side and low-side MOSFET driver © 2007 Semtech Corp. 6 www.semtech.com SC2608B POWER MANAGEMENT Applications Information (Cont.) G pwm = A note to the user is needed: The device cannot restart until both COMP and SENSE are low, to prevent start up into a charged output. In the event of an overcurrent condition, the output is quickly discharged by the load, therefore bringing SENSE below the 300mV threshold. If the COMP pin is pulled low by an external device (such as an open-drain logic gate used for system shutdown), and SENSE is high(above 300mV) while COMP is low, then the SC2608B turns on the low side FET to discharge the output before changing to shutdown or soft-start mode. The low side FET turns off when SENSE drops below 300mV and the converter remains in the tri-state condition until COMP is released. Although this shutdown technique can be used successfully on the SC2608B, the system designer using COMP for external shutdown will need to consider the load on the low side FET when discharging the output capacitor bank. For large capacitor bank, this peak current can be quite large as it is limited only by the RDS(ON) of the low side FET. Fortunately the duration of this event is quite short, and has been shown in the lab to have no detrimental effect on the performance of the external FETs. Disabling the output by pulling down COMP/SS pin is only recommended when the output capacitor bank is not too large.

The following design procedures are recommended to accomplish the goal: (1) Calculate the corner frequency of the output filter: Fo = 2π 1 LC o (2) Calculate the ESR zero frequency of the output filter capacitor: Fesr = 1 2π R c C o (3) Check that the ESR zero frequency is not too high. F esr < F SW 5 If this condition is not met, the compensation structure may not provide loop stability. The solution is to add some electrolytic capacitors to the output capacitor bank to correct the output filter corner frequency and the ESR zero frequency. In some cases, the filter inductance may also need to be adjusted to shift the filter corner frequency. It is not recommended to use only high frequency multi-layer ceramic capacitors for output filter. (4) Choose the loop gain cross over frequency (0 dB frequency). It is recommended that the crossover frequency is always less than one fifth of the switching frequency : 1 FX _ OVER = • FSW 5 If the transient specification is not stringent, it is better to choose a crossover frequency that is less than one tenth of the switching frequency for good noise immunity. The resistor in the compensation network can then be calculated as: R1 Ro R2 The control model of SC2608B is depicted in Fig. 4. This model can also be used to generate loop gain Bode plots. The bandgap reference is 0.8V and trimmed to +/-1% accuracy. The desired output voltage can be achieved by setting the resistive divider network, R1 and R2.
