Current Mode Control Schematic Regulation output of the error amplifier to control the on−time of the power switch. The oscillator is used as a fixed−frequency clock to ensure a constant operational frequency. The resulting control scheme features several advantages over conventional voltage mode control. First, derived directly from the inductor, the ramp signal responds immediately to line voltage changes. This eliminates the delay caused by the output filter and the error amplifier, which is commonly found in voltage mode controllers. The second benefit comes from inherent pulse−by−pulse current limiting by merely clamping the peak switching current. Finally, since current mode commands an output current rather than voltage, the filter offers only a single pole to the feedback loop. This allows for a simpler compensation. The NCV8876 also includes a slope compensation scheme in which a fixed ramp generated by the oscillator is added to the current ramp. A proper slope rate is provided to improve circuit stability without sacrificing the advantages of current mode control. The NCV8876 is a non−synchronous boost controller designed to supply a minimum output voltage during Start−Stop vehicle operation battery voltage sags. The NCV8876 is in low quiescent current sleep mode under normal battery operation (12 V) and is enabled when the supply voltage drops below the descending threshold (7.2 V for the NCV887600). Boost operation is initiated when the supply voltage is below the regulation set point (6.8 V for the NCV887600). Once the supply voltage sag condition ends and begins to increase, the NCV8876 boost operation will cease when the supply voltage increases beyond the regulation set point. The NCV8876 low quiescent current sleep mode resumes once the supply voltage increases beyond the ascending voltage threshold (7.6 V for the NCV887600). The NCV8876 VOUT pin serves the dual purpose: (1) powering the NCV8876 and (2) providing the regulation feedback signal. The feedback network is imbedded within the IC to eliminate the constant current battery drain that would exist with the use of external voltage feedback resistors. There is no soft−start operating mode. The NCV8876 will instantly respond to a voltage sag so as to maintain normal operation of downstream loads. Once the NCV8876 is enabled, the voltage error operational transconductance amplifier supplies current to set VC to 1.1 V to minimize the feedback loop response time when the battery voltage sag goes below the regulation set point. Current Limit The NCV8876 features two current limit protections, peak current mode and over current latch off. When the current sense amplifier detects a voltage above the peak current limit between ISNS and GND after the current limit leading edge blanking time, the peak current limit causes the power switch to turn off for the remainder of the cycle. Set the current limit with a resistor from ISNS to GND, with R = VCL / Ilimit. If the voltage across the current sense resistor exceeds the over current threshold voltage the device enters over current hiccup mode. The device will remain off for the hiccup time and then go through the soft−start procedure. Current Mode Control The NCV8876 incorporates a current mode control scheme, in which the PWM ramp signal is derived from the power switch current. This ramp signal is compared to the http://onsemi.com 8 NCV8876 UVLO voltage is higher than the output voltage, the minimum duty cycle will be negative. This is because a boost converter cannot have an output lower than the input. In situations where the input is higher than the output, the output will follow the input, minus the diode drop of the output diode and the converter will not attempt to switch. If the calculated Dmax is higher the Dmax of the NCV8876, the conversion will not be possible. It is important for a boost converter to have a restricted Dmax, because while the ideal conversion ration of a boost converter goes up to infinity as D approaches 1, a real converter’s conversion ratio starts to decrease as losses overtake the increased power transfer. If the converter is in this range it will not be able to regulate properly. If the following equation is not satisfied, the device will skip pulses at high VIN: Input Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) is provided to ensure that unexpected behavior does not occur when VIN is too low to support the internal rails and power the controller. The IC will start up when enabled and VIN surpasses the UVLO threshold plus the UVLO hysteresis and will shut down when VIN drops below the UVLO threshold or the part is disabled. VDRV An internal regulator provides the drive voltage for the gate driver. Bypass with a ceramic capacitor to ground to ensure fast turn on times. The capacitor should be between 0.1 mF and 1 mF, depending on switching speed and charge requirements of the external MOSFET. VDRV uses an internal linear regulator to charge the VDRV bypass capacitor. VOUT must be decoupled at the IC by a capacitor that is equal or larger in value than the VDRV decoupling capacitor.

Select Operating Frequency This section details an overview of the component selection process for the NCV8876 in continuous conduction mode boost. It is intended to assist with the design process but does not remove all engineering design work. Many of the equations make heavy use of the small ripple approximation. This process entails the following steps: 1. Define Operational Parameters 2. Select Operating Frequency 3. Select Current Sense Resistor 4. Select Output Inductor 5. Select Output Capacitors 6. Select Input Capacitors 7. Select Compensator Components 8. Select MOSFET(s) 9. Select Diode The default setting is an open ROSC pin, allowing the oscillator to operate at the default frequency Fs. Adding a resistor to GND increases the switching frequency. The graph in Figure 12, below, shows the required resistance to program the frequency. From 200 kHz to 500 kHz, the following formula is accurate to within 3% of the expected 100 90 80 ROSC (kW) 70 1. Define Operational Parameters Before beginning the design, define the operating parameters of the application. These include: VIN(min): minimum input voltage [V] VIN(max): maximum input voltage [V] VOUT: output voltage [V] IOUT(max): maximum output current [A] ICL: desired typical cycle-by-cycle current limit [A] 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 150 D max + 1 * 250 300 350 400 FSW (kHz) 450 500 550 Figure 12. ROSC vs. FSW From this the ideal minimum and maximum duty cycles can be calculated as follows: D min + 1 * 200 R OSC + V IN(max) 2859 (F sw * 170) Where: fsw: switching frequency [kHz] ROSC: resistor from ROSC pin to GND [k] Note: The ROSC resistor ground return to the NCV8876 pin 3 must be independent of power grounds. V OUT V IN(min) V OUT 3. Select Current Sense Resistor Both duty cycles will actually be higher due to power loss in the conversion. The exact duty cycles will depend on conduction and switching losses. If the maximum input Current sensing for peak current mode control and current limit relies on the MOSFET current signal, which is http://onsemi.com 9 NCV8876 measured with a ground referenced amplifier. The easiest method of generating this signal is to use a current sense resistor from the source of the MOSFET to device ground. The sense resistor should be selected as follows: I Cout(RMS) + I OUT The input capacitor reduces voltage ripple on the input to the module associated with the ac component of the input current. 4. Select Output Inductor I Cin(RMS) + The output inductor controls the current ripple that occurs over a switching period. A high current ripple will result in excessive power loss and ripple current requirements. A low current ripple will result in a poor control signal and a slow current slew rate in case of load steps. A good starting point for peak to peak ripple is around 10% of the inductor current at the maximum load at the worst case VIN, but operation should be verified empirically. The worst case VIN is half of VOUT, or whatever VIN is closest to half of VIN. After choosing a peak current ripple value, calculate the inductor value as follows: 8. Select MOSFET(s) In order to ensure the gate drive voltage does not drop out the MOSFET(s) chosen must not violate the following inequality: Q g(total) v DI L,max f sV OUT I D(max) + I out ǸD DȀ The maximum voltage across the MOSFET will be the maximum output voltage, which is the higher of the maximum input voltage and the regulated output voltaged: V OUTI OUT(max) V IN(min) V Q(max) + V OUT(max) V IN(min) 2 D max Lf sV OUT 9. Select Diode The output diode rectifies the output current. The average current through diode will be equal to the output current: Where: IL,peak: Peak inductor current value [A] 5. Select Output Capacitors I D(avg) + I OUT(max) The output capacitors smooth the output voltage and reduce the overshoot and undershoot associated with line transients. The steady state output ripple associated with the output capacitors can be calculated as follows: Additionally, the diode must block voltage equal to the higher of the output voltage and the maximum input voltage: V D(max) + V OUT(max) V OUT(ripple) + 2 I drv fs Where: Qg(total): Total Gate Charge of MOSFET(s) [C] Idrv: Drive voltage current [A] fs: Switching Frequency [Hz] The maximum RMS Current can be calculated as follows: The Peak Inductor current can be calculated as follows: ǒC OUTfǓ Lf sV OUT2 Ǹ3 Current Mode control method employed by the NCV8876 allows the use of a simple, Type II compensation to optimize the dynamic response according to system requirements.
