SC470 Synchronous Buck Controller for Dynamic Load-Voltage Applications POWER MANAGEMENT Description Features The SC470 is a single output, constant on-time synchronous-buck, pseudo-fixed frequency, PWM controller intended for use in notebook computers and other battery operated portable devices. Features include high efficiency and fast dynamic response with no minimum on-time. The excellent transient response means that SC470 based solutions will require less output capacitance than competing fixed frequency converters. The SC470 is specifically targeted for graphics processor power supplies that require dynamic voltage transition, with a tight 0.85% DC accuracy and a 20% OVP threshold. The frequency is constant until a step-in load or line voltage occurs, at which time the pulse density and frequency will increase or decrease to counter the change in output or input voltage. After the transient event, the controller frequency will return to steady state operation. At light loads, Power-Save Mode enables the SC470 to skip PWM pulses for better efficiency. The output voltage can be adjusted from 0.5V to VCCA. The integrated gate drivers feature adaptive shootthrough protection and soft switching. Additional features include cycle-by-cycle current limit, digital soft-start, overvoltage and under-voltage protection, and a PGD output.

The on-time is the time required for the voltage on this capacitor to charge from zero volts to VOUT, thereby making the on-time of the high-side switch directly proportional to output voltage and inversely proportional to input voltage. This implementation results in a nearly constant switching frequency without the need for a clock generator. The SC470 requires an external +5V bias supply in addition to the battery. If stand-alone capability is required, the +5V supply can be generated with an external linear regulator such as the Semtech LP2951. For optimal operation, the controller has its own ground reference, VSSA, which should be tied by a single trace to PGND at the negative terminal of the output capacitor (see Layout Guidelines). All external components referenced to VSSA in the Typical Applications Circuit on Page 1 should be connected to VSSA. The supply decoupling capacitor should be tied directly between the VCCA and VSSA pins. A 10Ω resistor should be used to decouple VCCA from the main VDDP supply. PGND can then be a separate plane which is not used for routing traces. All PGND connections are connected directly to the ground plane with special attention given to avoiding indirect connections which may create ground loops. As mentioned above, VSSA must be connected to the PGND plane at the negative terminal of the output capacitor only. The VDDP input provides power to the upper and lower gate drivers. A decoupling capacitor is required. No series resistor between VDDP and 5V is required. See Layout Guidelines for more details. For VOUT < 3.3V: V t ON = 3.3 x10 −12 • (R TON + 37 x10 3 ) • OUT + 50ns VBAT For 3.3V ≤ VOUT ≤ 5V: V t ON = 0.85 • 3.3 x10 −12 • (R TON + 37 x10 3 ) • OUT + 50ns VBAT RTON is a resistor connected from the input supply (VBAT) to the TON pin. Due to the high impedance of this resistor, the TON pin should always be bypassed to VSSA using a 1nF ceramic capacitor. Enable & Psave The EN/PSV pin enables the supply. When EN/PSV is tied to VCCA the controller is enabled and power save will also be enabled. When the EN/PSV pin is tri-stated, an internal pull-up will activate the controller and power save will be disabled. If PSAVE is enabled, the SC470 PSAVE comparator will look for the inductor current to cross zero on eight consecutive switching cycles by comparing the phase node (LX) to PGND. Once observed, the controller will enter power save and turn off the low side MOSFET when the current crosses zero. To improve light-load efficiency and add hysteresis, the on-time is increased by 50% in power save. The efficiency improvement at light-loads more than offsets the disadvantage of slightly higher output ripple. If the inductor current does not cross zero on any switching cycle, the controller will immediately exit power save. Since the controller counts zero crossings, the converter can sink current as long as the current does not cross zero on eight consecutive cycles. This allows the output voltage to recover quickly in response to negative load steps even when PSAVE is enabled. Pseudo-Fixed Frequency Constant On-Time PWM Controller The PWM control architecture consists of a constant ontime, pseudo-fixed frequency PWM controller (see Figure 1, Block Diagram, page 7). The output ripple voltage developed across the output filter capacitor’s ESR provides the PWM ramp signal eliminating the need for a current sense resistor. The high-side switch on-time is determined by a one-shot whose period is directly proportional to output voltage and inversely proportional to input voltage. A second one-shot sets the minimum off-time which is typically 400ns. On-Time One-Shot (tON) The on-time one-shot comparator has two inputs. One input looks at the output voltage, while the other input samples the input voltage and converts it to a current. This input voltage-proportional current is used to charge 2005 Semtech Corp. 8 www.semtech.com SC470 POWER MANAGEMENT Application Information (Cont.) will not be turned on until the voltage drop across the sense element (resistor or MOSFET) falls below the voltage across the RILIM resistor. In an extreme overcurrent situation, the top MOSFET will never turn back on and eventually the part will latch off due to output undervoltage (see Output Under-voltage Protection). Output Voltage Selection The output voltage is set by the feedback resistors R3 & R7 of Figure 2 below. The internal reference is 1.5V, so the voltage at the feedback pin is multiplied by three to match the 1.5V reference. Therefore, the output can be set to a minimum of 0.5V. The equation for setting the output voltage is: The current sensing circuit actually regulates the inductor valley current (see Figure 3). This means that if the current limit is set to 10A, the peak current through the inductor would be 10A plus the peak ripple current, and the average current through the inductor would be 10A plus 1/2 the peak-to-peak ripple current. The equations for setting the valley current and calculating the average current through the inductor are shown below: R3 VOUT = 1 + • 0 .5 R7 VOUT C5 56p 0402 R3 20k0 0402 BST TON DH VOUT LX VCCA ILIM FB PGD R7 20k0 0402 SC470 EN/PSV VSSA IPEAK INDUCTOR CURRENT U1 VDDP DL PGND ILOAD ILIMIT TIME Valley Current-Limit Threshold Point Figure 2: Setting The Output Voltage Figure 3: Valley Current Limiting Current Limit Circuit The equation for the current limit threshold is as follows: Current limiting of the SC470 can be accomplished in two ways. The on-state resistance of the low-side MOSFET can be used as the current sensing element or sense resistors in series with the low-side source can be used if greater accuracy is desired. RDS(ON) sensing is more efficient and less expensive. In both cases, the RILIM resistor between the ILIM pin and LX pin set the over current threshold. This resistor RILIM is connected to a 10µA current source within the SC470 which is turned on when the low side MOSFET turns on. When the voltage drop across the sense resistor or low side MOSFET equals the voltage across the RILIM resistor, positive current limit will activate. The high-side MOSFET 2005 Semtech Corp. ILIMIT = 10e -6 • RILIM A R SENSE Where (referring to Figure 8 on Page 17) RILIM is R4 and RSENSE is the RDS(ON) of Q2. For resistor sensing, a sense resistor is placed between the source of Q2 and PGND. The current through the source sense resistor develops a voltage that opposes the voltage developed across RILIM. When the voltage developed across the RSENSE resistor reaches the voltage 9 www.semtech.com SC470 POWER MANAGEMENT Application Information (Cont.) POR, UVLO and Softstart drop across RILIM, a positive over-current exists and the high side MOSFET will not be allowed to turn on. When using an external sense resistor RSENSE is the resistance of the sense resistor. An internal power-on reset (POR) occurs when VCCA exceeds 3V, resetting the fault latch and soft-start counter, and preparing the PWM for switching. VCCA under-voltage lockout (UVLO) circuitry inhibits switching and forces the DL gate driver high until VCCA rises above 4.2V. At this time the circuit will come out of UVLO and begin switching, and with the soft-start circuit enabled, will progressively limit the output current (by limiting the current out of the ILIM pin) over a predetermined time period of 440 switching cycles. The current limit circuitry also protects against negative over-current (i.e., when the current is flowing from the load to PGND through the inductor and bottom MOSFET). In this case, when the bottom MOSFET is turned on, the phase node, LX, will be higher than PGND initially. The SC470 monitors the voltage at LX, and if it is greater than a set threshold voltage of 140mV (nom.) the bottom MOSFET is turned off. The device then waits for approximately 2.5µs and then DL goes high for 300ns (typ.) once more to sense the current. This repeats until either the over-current condition goes away or the part latches off due to output over-voltage (see Output Over-voltage Protection). The ramp occurs in four steps: 1) 110 cycles at 25% ILIM with double minimum off-time (for purposes of the on-time one-shot there is an internal positive offset of 120mV to VOUT during this period to aid in start-up). 2) 110 cycles at 50% ILIM with normal minimum off-time. 3) 110 cycles at 75% ILIM with normal minimum off-time. 4) 110 cycles at 100% ILIM with normal minimum off-time. Power Good Output The power good output is an open-drain output and requires a pull-up resistor. When the output voltage is 20% above or 10% below its set voltage, PGD gets pulled low. It is held low until the output voltage returns to within +20%/-10% of the output set voltage. PGD is also held low during start-up and will not be allowed to transition high until soft-start is over (440 switching cycles) and the output reaches 90% of its set voltage. There is a 5µs delay built into the PGD circuitry to prevent false transitions. At this point the output under-voltage and power good circuitry is enabled. There is 100mV of hysteresis built into the UVLO circuit and when VCCA falls to 4.1V (nom.) the output drivers are shut down and tristated. MOSFET Gate Drivers The DH and DL drivers are optimized for driving moderate-sized high-side, and larger low-side power MOSFETs. An adaptive dead-time circuit monitors the DL output and prevents the high-side MOSFET from turning on until DL is fully off (below ~1V). Conversely, it monitors the phase node, LX, to determine the state of the high side MOSFET, and prevents the low-side MOSFET from turning on until DH is fully off (LX below ~1V). Note: Be sure there is low resistance and low inductance between the DH and DL outputs to the gate of each MOSFET. Output Over-Voltage Protection When the output exceeds 20% of the its set voltage the low-side MOSFET is latched on. It stays latched on and the controller is latched off until reset. There is a 5µs delay built into the OV protection circuit to prevent false transitions. Output Under-Voltage Protection When the output is 30% below its set voltage the output is latched in a tri-stated condition. It stays latched and the controller is latched off until reset. There is a 5µs delay built into the UV protection circuit to prevent false transitions. Note: to reset from any fault, VCCA or EN/PSV must be toggled. 2005 Semtech Corp. Dropout Performance The output voltage adjust range for continuousconduction operation is limited by the fixed 550ns 10 www.semtech.com SC470 POWER MANAGEMENT Application Information (Cont.) (maximum) minimum off-time one-shot. For best dropout performance, use the slowest on-time setting of 200kHz. When working with low input voltages, the duty-factor limit must be calculated using worst-case values for on and off times. The IC duty-factor limitation is given by: DUTY = Design Procedure Prior to designing an output and making component selections, it is necessary to determine the input voltage range and the output voltage specifications. For purposes of demonstrating the procedure the output for the schematic in Figure 8 on Page 17 will be designed. t ON( MIN ) t ON( MIN ) + t OFF(MAX ) The maximum input voltage (VBAT(MAX)) is determined by the highest AC adaptor voltage. The minimum input voltage (VBAT(MIN)) is determined by the lowest battery voltage after accounting for voltage drops due to connectors, fuses and battery selector switches. For the purposes of this design we will use a VBAT range of 8V to 20V. Be sure to include inductor resistance and MOSFET onstate voltage drops when performing worst-case dropout duty-factor calculations. 470 System DC Accuracy Two IC parameters affect system DC accuracy, the error comparator threshold voltage variation and the switching frequency variation with line and load. The error comparator threshold does not drift significantly with supply and temperature. Thus, the error comparator contributes 0.85% or less to DC system inaccuracy. Board components and layout also influence DC accuracy. The use of 1% feedback resistors contribute 1%. If tighter DC accuracy is required use 0.1% feedback resistors. Four parameters are needed for the output: 1) Nominal output voltage, VOUT (we will use 1.2V). 2) Static (or DC) tolerance, TOLST (we will use +/-4%). 3) Transient tolerance, TOLTR and size of transient (we will use +/-8% for purposes of this demonstration). 4) Maximum output current, IOUT (we will design for 6A). Switching frequency determines the trade-off between size and efficiency. Increased frequency increases the switching losses in the MOSFETs, since losses are a function of VIN2, knowing the maximum input voltage and budget for MOSFET switches usually dictates where the design ends up. A default RtON value of 1MΩ is suggested as a starting point, but this is not set in stone. The first thing to do is to calculate the on-time, tON, at VBAT(MIN) and VBAT(MAX), since this depends only upon VBAT, VOUT and RtON. The on-pulse in the SC470 is calculated to give a pseudofixed frequency. Nevertheless, some frequency variation with line and load can be expected. This variation changes the output ripple voltage. Because constant onregulators regulate to the valley of the output ripple, ½ of the output ripple appears as a DC regulation error. For example, if the feedback resistors are chosen to divide down the output by a factor of five, the valley of the output ripple will be VOUT. For example: if VOUT is 2.5V and the ripple is 50mV with VBAT = 6V, then the measured DC output will be 2.525V. If the ripple increases to 80mV with VBAT = 25V, then the measured DC output will be 2.540V. For VOUT < 3.3V: VOUT −9 t ON _ VBAT(MIN) = 3.3 • 10 −12 • (R tON + 37 • 103 ) • + 50 • 10 s V BAT ( MIN) The output inductor value may change with current. This will change the output ripple and thus the DC output voltage. It will not change the frequency. and, VOUT −9 t ON _ VBAT (MAX ) = 3.3 • 10 −12 • (R tON + 37 • 10 3 ) • + 50 • 10 s VBAT (MAX ) Switching frequency variation with load can be minimized by choosing MOSFETs with lower R DS(ON). High R DS(ON) MOSFETs will cause the switching frequency to increase as the load current increases. This will reduce the ripple and thus the DC output voltage. 2005 Semtech Corp. From these values of tON we can calculate the nominal switching frequency as follows: 11 www.semtech.com SC470 POWER MANAGEMENT Application Information (Cont.) fSW _ VBAT (MIN ) For our example: VOUT = (VBAT (MIN) • t ON _ VBAT (MIN) )Hz IRIPPLE_VBAT(MIN) = 1.74AP-P and IRIPPLE_VBAT(MAX) = 2.18AP-P From this we can calculate the minimum inductor current rating for normal operation: and, fSW _ VBAT (MAX ) = VOUT (VBAT(MAX ) • t ON _ VBAT(MAX ) )Hz IINDUCTOR (MIN) = IOUT (MAX ) + tON is generated by a one-shot comparator that samples VBAT via RtON, converting this to a current. This current is used to charge an internal 3.3pF capacitor to VOUT. The equations on page 11 reflect this along with any internal components or delays that influence tON. Next we will calculate the maximum output capacitor equivalent series resistance (ESR). This is determined by calculating the remaining static and transient tolerance allowances. Then the maximum ESR is the smaller of the calculated static ESR (R ESR_ST(MAX)) and transient ESR (R ESR_TR(MAX)): tON_VBAT(MIN) = 563ns and tON_VBAT(MAX) = 255ns fSW_VBAT(MIN) = 266kHz and fSW_VBAT(MAX) = 235kHz RESR _ ST (MAX ) = Now that we know tON we can calculate suitable values for the inductor. To do this we select an acceptable inductor ripple current. The calculations below assume 50% of IOUT which will give us a starting place. t ON _ VBAT (MIN) (0.5 • I ) A (MIN) 2 For our example: IINDUCTOR(MIN) = 7.1A(MIN) For our example we select RtON = 1MΩ: L VBAT (MIN) = (VBAT (MIN) − VOUT ) • IRIPPLE _ VBAT (MAX ) (ERR ST − ERRDC ) • 2 IRIPPLE _ VBAT (MAX ) Ohms Where ERRST is the static output tolerance and ERRDC is the DC error. The DC error will be 0.85% plus the tolerance of the feedback resistors, thus 1.85% total for 1% feedback resistors. H OUT For our example: and, L VBAT (MAX ) = (VBAT (MAX ) − VOUT ) • t ON _ VBAT (MAX ) (0.5 • I ) ERRST = 48mV and ERRDC = 22mV, therefore, H OUT RESR_ST(MAX) = 24mΩ For our example: LVBAT(MIN) = 1.3µH and LVBAT(MAX) = 1.6µH RESR _ TR (MAX ) = We will select an inductor value of 2.2µH to reduce the ripple current, which can be calculated as follows: IRIPPLE _ VBAT (MIN) = (VBAT (MIN) − VOUT ) • t ON _ VBAT (MIN) L and, IRIPPLE _ VBAT (MAX ) = (VBAT (MAX ) − VOUT ) • 2005 Semtech Corp. L TR − ERR DC ) I IOUT + RIPPLE _ VBAT (MAX ) 2 Ohms Where ERRTR is the transient output tolerance. Note that this calculation assumes that the worst case load transient is full load. For half of full load, divide the IOUT term by 2. A P −P t ON _ VBAT (MAX ) (ERR For our example: A P −P ERRTR = 96mV and ERRDC = 22mV, therefore, 12 www.semtech.com SC470 POWER MANAGEMENT Application Information (Cont.) RESR_TR(MAX) = 10.4mΩ for a full 6A load transient Wewill select a value of 12.5mΩ maximum for our design, which would be achieved by using two 25mΩ output capacitors in parallel. C TOP For our example we will use RTOP = 20.0kΩ and RBOT = 14.3kΩ, therefore: Note that for constant-on converters there is a minimum ESR requirement for stability which can be calculated as follows: RESR (MIN ) = 1 1 − Z TOP RTOP F = 2 • π • fSW _ VBAT (MIN) ZTOP = 6.67kΩ and CTOP = 60pF 3 2 • π • COUT • fSW We will select a value of CTOP = 56pF. Calculating the value of VFB based upon the selected CTOP: This criteria should be checked once the output capacitance has been determined. VFB _ VBAT(MIN) Now that we know the output ESR we can calculate the output ripple voltage: R BOT = VRIPPLE _ VBAT(MIN) • 1 RBOT + 1 + 2 • π • fSW _ VBAT(MIN) • C TOP R TOp For our example: VRIPPLE_ VBAT (MAX) = R ESR • I RIPPLE_ VBAT (MAX) VP −P VFB_VBAT(MIN) = 14.8mVP-P - good Next we need to calculate the minimum output capacitance required to ensure that the output voltage does not exceed the transient maximum limit, POSLIMTR, starting from the actual static maximum, VOUT_ST_POS, when a load release occurs: and, VRIPPLE_ VBAT(MIN) = RESR • I RIPPLE_ VBAT ( MIN) VP −P For our example: VOUT _ ST _ POS = VOUT + ERRDC V VRIPPLE_VBAT(MAX) = 27mVP-P and VRIPPLE_VBAT(MIN) = 22mVP-P For our example: Note that in order for the device to regulate in a controlled manner, the ripple content at the feedback pin, VFB, should be approximately 15mVP-P at minimum V BAT , and worst-case no smaller than 10mV P-P . If VRIPPLE_VBAT(MIN) is less than 15mVP-P the above component values should be revisited in order to improve this. Quite often a small capacitor, CTOP, is required in parallel with the top feedback resistor, RTOP, in order to ensure that V FB is large enough. C TOP should not be greater than 100pF. The value of CTOP can be calculated as follows, where R BOT is the bottom feedback resistor. Firstly calculating the value of ZTOP required: VOUT_ST_POS = 1.222V Z TOP POSLIM TR = VOUT • TOL TR V Where TOLTR is the transient tolerance. For our example: POSLIMTR = 1.296V The minimum output capacitance is calculated as follows: 2 R = BOT • (VRIPPLE _ VBAT (MIN) − 0.015 ) Ohms 0.015 C OUT (MIN) Secondly calculating the value of CTOP required to achieve this: 2005 Semtech Corp.

For our example: This calculation assumes the absolute worst-case condition of a full-load to no-load step transient occurring when the inductor current is at its highest. The capacitance required for smaller transient steps may be calculated by substituting the desired current for the IOUT term. IVALLEY = 5.13A, RDS(ON) = 9mΩ and RILIM = 7.76kΩ We select the next lowest 1% resistor value: 7.68kΩ Adding an Additional Output Voltage For Dynamic Voltage Switching For our example: If we design this output to be capable of dynamically switching between 1.2V and 1.0V, then we would repeat these calculations to determine if any components need changing. The 1.0V output suggests a value for CTOP of 82pF, but the value of 56pF required by the 1.2V design should work fine, and can always be increased if necessary. Also, the current limit resistor required is slightly higher: RILIM = 7.87kΩ. The higher value should be used. COUT(MIN) = 595µF. We will select 440µF, using two 220µF, 25mΩ capacitors in parallel. For smaller load release overshoot, 660µF may be used. Next we calculate the RMS input ripple current, which is largest at the minimum battery voltage: IIN(RMS ) = VOUT • (VBAT (MIN) − VOUT ) • IOUT VBAT _ MIN Lastly, the bottom feedback resistor, RBOT will need to change to 20.0kΩ. The schematic in Figure 8 on Page 17 shows the complete design. A RMS For our example: Dynamically Switching Output Voltages IIN(RMS) = 2.14ARMS It is important to note that in order for dynamic output voltage switching to work, the SC470 must be in Continuous Conduction Mode (EN/PSV = floating) when transitioning from V OUT(HIGH) to V OUT(LOW) . Otherwise the SC470 has no means to discharge the output voltage and may OVP and latch off when this transition is initiated (depending upon the difference between the two voltages). If CCM is on, the SC470 will actively discharge the output down to the correct voltage. Input capacitors should be selected with sufficient ripple current rating for this RMS current, for example a 10µF, 1210 size, 25V ceramic capacitor can handle a little more than 2ARMS (Refer to manufacturer’s data sheets). Finally, we calculate the current limit resistor value. As described in the current limit section, the current limit looks at the “valley current”, which is the average output current minus half the ripple current. We use the maximum room temperature specification for MOSFET RDS(ON) at VGS = 4.5V for purposes of this calculation: IVALLEY = IOUT − IRIPPLE _ VBAT (MIN) 2 Dynamically switching output voltages is very easy, requiring one switch to add or remove an additional resistor in parallel to the bottom feedback resistor. Ideally, the resistor will be switched using an open drain output from another IC, as shown in Figure 4. A The ripple at low battery voltage is used because we want to make sure that current limit does not occur under normal operating conditions. RILIM = (IVALLEY • 1.2) • 2005 Semtech Corp.

Another option is to switch using an external discrete MOSFET, as shown in Figure 5.

The pull-up resistor, pull-down resistor and gate capacitor can be selected as follows: SC470 EN/PSV > 1 .16 C11 R7 20k0 0402 VSSA DL 1) VGATE must be below the gate threshold voltage of the MOSFET in order to ensure that it can be turned off (see Figure 6): 2) The RC time constant of R9 and C11 should be at least 4 times greater than the typical Over-Voltage Fault Delay Time of 5µs to avoid VOUT rising prior to falling. 3) VPULLUP must be high enough to turn the MOSFET on. PGND Figure 5: Dynamic Voltage Switching Using Indirect Drive Method The problem with the external MOSFET method is that the drain-gate capacitance, cDG, can cause the output voltage to go even higher when the MOSFET is first turned off (which should make the output voltage drop). This is because the gate going low causes the drain to go low momentarily due to cDG, which in turn causes VFB to go low, making the output rise. The extra R9 and C11 in the gate drive for the MOSFET are there to slow down the slew rate of the gate voltage, thus avoiding this problem.

VBAT = 8V to 20V VOUT = 1.2V or 1.0V @ 6A Figure 8: Reference Design For Dynamic Output Switching One (or more) ground planes is/are recommended to minimize the effect of switching noise and copper losses, and maximize heat dissipation. The IC ground reference, VSSA, should be kept separate from power ground. All components that are referenced to VSSA should connected to it locally at the chip. VSSA should connect to power ground at the output capacitor(s) only. The VOUT feedback trace must be kept far away from noise sources such as switching nodes, inductors and gate drives. Route the feedback trace with VSSA as a differential pair from the output capacitor back to the chip. Run them in a “quiet layer” if possible. VSSA may be separated from PGND using a zero Ohm resistor (that will be placed at the bottom of the output capacitors) to aid in net separation. Chip decoupling capacitors (VDDP, VCCA) should be located next to the pins (VDDP and PGND, VCCA and VSSA) and connected directly to them on the same side. Power sections should connect directly to the ground plane(s) using multiple vias as required for current handling (including the chip power ground connections). Power components should be placed to minimize loops and reduce losses. Make all the connections on one side of the PCB using wide copper filled areas if possible. Do not use “minimum” land patterns for power components. Minimize trace lengths between the gate drivers and the gates of the MOSFETs to reduce parasitic impedances (and MOSFET switching losses), the low-side MOSFET is most critical. Maintain a length to width ratio of <20:1 for gate drive signals. Use multiple vias as required by current handling requirement (and to reduce parasitics) if routed on more than one layer Current sense connections must always be made using Kelvin connections to ensure an accurate signal, with the current limit resistor located at the device. We will examine the reference design used in the Design Procedure section while explaining the layout guidelines in more detail. 2005 Semtech Corp. 17 www.semtech.com SC470 POWER MANAGEMENT Application Information (Cont.) The layout can be considered in two parts, the control section referenced to VSSA and the power section. Looking at the control section first, locate all components referenced to VSSA on the schematic and place these components at the chip. Connect VSSA using either a wide (>0.020”) trace or a copper pour if room allows. Very little current flows in the chip ground therefore large areas of copper are not needed.

Figure 13: Power Component Placement and Copper Pours Key points for the power section: 1) There should be a very small input loop, well decoupled. 2) The phase node should be a large copper pour, but compact since this is the noisiest node. 3) Input power ground and output power ground should not connect directly, but through the ground planes instead. 4) Notice in Figure 10 on page 18, the placement of 0Ω resistor at the bottom of the output capacitor to connect to VSSA. 5) The current limit resistor should be placed as close as possible to the ILIM and LX pins. Connecting the control and power sections should be accomplished as follows (see Figure 14 on Page 21): 1) Route VSSA and VOUT as differential pairs routed in a “quiet” layer away from noise sources. 2) Route DL, DH and LX (low-side FET gate drive, high side FET gate drive and phase node) to chip using wide traces with multiple vias if using more than one layer. These connections to be as short as possible for loop minimization, with a length to width ratio less than 20:1 to minimize impedance. DL is the most critical gate drive, with power ground as its return path. LX is the noisiest node in the circuit, switching between VBAT and ground at high frequencies, thus should be kept as short as practical. DH has LX as its return path. 3) BST is also a noisy node and should be kept as short as possible. 4) Connect PGND pin on the chip directly to the VDDP decoupling capacitor and then drop vias directly to the ground plane. 2005 Semtech Corp. 20 www.semtech.com SC470 POWER MANAGEMENT Application Information (Cont.) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 U1 EN/PSV TON VOUT VCCA FB PGD VSSA SC470 BST DH LX ILIM VDDP DL PGND 14 Q1 IRF7811AV 13 12 R4 11 0402 10 L1 7k87 2u2 Q2 FDS6676S 9 8 Figure 14: Connecting The Control and Power Sections 2005 Semtech Corp. 21 www.semtech.com SC470 POWER MANAGEMENT Typical Characteristics 1.2V Efficiency (Power Save Mode) 1.2V Efficiency (Continuous Conduction Mode) vs. Output Current vs. Input Voltage vs. Output Current vs. Input Voltage 100 100 95 95 VBAT = 8V 90 85 80 Efficiency (%) 85 Efficiency (%) VBAT = 8V 90 VBAT = 20V 75 70 80 70 65 65 60 60 55 55 50 VBAT = 20V 75 50 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 0 1 2 3 IOUT (A) 1.2V Output Voltage (Power Save Mode) vs. Output Current vs. Input Voltage 1.216 1.216 1.212 1.212 VOUT (V) VOUT (V) 1.208 VBAT = 20V 1.200 1.196 VBAT = 8V 1.192 VBAT = 20V 1.204 1.200 1.196 VBAT = 8V 1.192 1.188 1.188 1.184 1.184 1.180 1.180 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 0 1 2 3 IOUT (A) 4 5 6 IOUT (A) 1.2V Switching Frequency (Power Save Mode) 1.2V Switching Frequency (Continuous Conduction vs. Output Current vs. Input Voltage Mode) vs. Output Current vs. Input Voltage 400 400 VBAT = 8V VBAT = 8V 350 350 300 300 250 Frequency (kHz) Frequency (kHz) 6 vs. Output Current vs. Input Voltage 1.220 1.204 5 1.2V Output Voltage (Continuous Conduction Mode) 1.220 1.208 4 IOUT (A) VBAT = 20V 200 150 250 150 100 100 50 50 0 VBAT = 20V 200 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 0 1 2 IOUT (A) 3 4 5 6 IOUT (A) Please refer to Figure 8 on Page 17 for test schematic 2005 Semtech Corp. 22 www.semtech.com SC470 POWER MANAGEMENT Typical Characteristics (Cont.)
