Function Descriptions
path for current to flow when the inductor is discharging.
Replacing the Schottky diode with a low-resistance
NMOS synchronous switch reduces conduction losses
and improves efficiency. The NMOS synchronous-rectifier
switch turns on following a short delay (typ. 20ns) after the PMOS power switch turns off, thus preventing
cross-conduction or “shoot-through.” In constant-offtime mode, the synchronous-rectifier switch turns off
just prior to the PMOS power switch turning on. While
both switches are off, inductor current flows through
the internal body diode of the NMOS switch.
The APW7093 synchronous, current-mode, constant
off-time, PW M DC-DC converter steps down input
voltages of 3V to 5.5V to an adjustable output voltage
from 1.1V to V IN, as set by the voltage applied at
EXTREF. It sources and sinks up to 3A of output
current. Internal switches composed of a 90mΩPMOS
power switch and a 60m Ω NMOS synchronous-rectifier
switch improve efficiency, reduce component count,
and eliminate the need for an external Schottky diode
across the synchronous switch.
The APW7093 operates in a constant-off-time mode
under all loads. A single resistor-programmable
constant- tradeoffs in efficiency, switching noise,
component size, and cost. When power is drawn from
a regulated supply, constant-off-time PWM architecture
essentially provides constant-frequency operation. This
architecture has the inherent advantage of quick
response to line and load transients. The APW7093’s
current-mode, constant-off-time PWM architecture
regulates the output voltage by changing the PMOS
switch on-time relative to the constant off-time.
Current Sourcing and Sinking
By operating in a constant-off-time, pseudo-fixedfrequency mode, the APW7093 can both source and
sink current. Depending on the output current
requirement, the circuit operates in two modes. In the
first mode the output draws current and the APW7093
behaves as a regular buck controller, sourcing current
to the output from the input supply rail. However, when
the output is supplied by another source, the APW7093
operates in a second mode as a synchronous boost,
taking power from the output and returning it to the
input.
Constant-Off-Time Operation
In the constant-off-time architecture, the FB voltage
comparator turns the PMOS switch on at the end of
each off-time, keeping the device in continuous-
Thermal Resistance
Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θ JA, is highly
dependent on the amount of copper area immediately

the feedback voltage exceeds the external reference
voltage (VEXTREF) or the positive current limit is reached.
surrounding the IC leads. The APW7093 QFN package has 1in square of copper area and a thermal
resistance of 50°C/W with no forced airflow. The
APW 7093 16-pin SSOP evaluation kit has 0.5 in
square of copper area and a thermal resistance of 80°C/
When the PMOS switch turns off, it remains off for the
programmed off-time (TOFF ). To control the current
under short-circuit conditions, the PMOS switch
remains off for approximately 4 x TOFF when V FB <

significantly reduces the junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance. For heat sinking purposes, it is essential
to connect the exposed backside pad of the QFN
package to a large analog ground plane.

Shutdown

PD(CAP) = C × VIN × fSW
Drive SHDN to a logic-level low to place the APW7093
in low-power shutdown mode and reduce supply
current less than 1µA. In shutdown, all circuitry and
internal MOSFETs turn off, so the LX node becomes
where C = 500pF and fSW is the switching frequency.

approximated by:

where RPMOS is the on-resistance of the PMOS switch.
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance required
to dissipate this amount of power is calculated by:
Power Dissipation
θJA = (TJ,MAX - TA,MAX) / (PD(CAP) + PD(RES))
where:
θ JA = junction-to-ambient thermal resistance
TJ,MAX = maximum junction temperature
Power dissipation in the APW7093 is dominated by
conduction losses in the two internal power switches.
Power dissipation due to charging and discharging the
gate capacitance of the internal switches (i.e., switching
losses) is approximately:
TA,MAX = maximum ambient temperature
Application Information
For typical applications, use the recommended
component values in Figure 2. For other applications,
take the following steps:
1. Select the desired PWM-mode switching frequency.
See Figure 3 for maximum operating frequency.
2. Select the constant off-time as a function of input
voltage, output voltage, and switching frequency.
Setting the Output Voltage
An external voltage applied to the EXTREF pin sets
the output voltage of the APW7093. This can come
directly from another voltage source or external
reference. When FB is directly tied to the output
(Figure 4), the output voltage range is limited by the
external reference’s input voltage limits. V EXTREF
should be limited to less than VIN-1.7V. Failure to
comply can cause the part to operate abnormally and
may cause part damage. Alternatively, the output can
be adjusted up to VIN by connecting FB to a resistordivider between the output voltage and ground (Figure
3. Select RTOFF as a function of off-time.
4. Select the inductor as a function of output voltage,
off-time, and peak-to-peak inductor current.

Output Capacitor Selection
The output filter capacitor affects the output voltage
ripple, output load-transient response, and feedback
loop stability. The output filter capacitor must have low
enough ESR to meet output ripple and load transient
requirements, yet have high enough ESR to satisfy
stability requirements. Also, the capacitance value must
be high enough to guarantee stability and absorb the
inductor energy going from a full-load sourcing to full
load sinking condition without exceeding the maximum
output tolerance.

Inductor Selection
The key inductor parameters must be specified: inductor
value (L) and peak current (IPEAK). A lower value of
inductor allows smaller size but results in higher losses
and ripple. A good compromise between size and
losses is found at approximately a 25% ripple current
In applications where the output is subject to large
load transients, the output capacitor’s size typically
depends on how much ESR is needed to prevent the
output from dipping too low under a load transient.

R ESR ≤ ∆ VOUT / ∆ I OUT(MAX)
The peak inductor current at full load is calculated by:
IPEAK = IOUT +
The actual microfarad capacitance value required is
defined by the physical size needed to achieve low
ESR, and by the chemistry of the capacitor technology.
Thus, the capacitor is usually selected by ESR, size
and voltage rating rather than by capacitance value.

W hen using low-capacity filter capacitors such as

Choose an inductor with a saturation current at least
as high as the peak inductor current. Additionally, verify
the peak inductor current while sourcing output
current (IOUT = ISOURCE) does not exceed the positive
current limit. The inductor selected should exhibit low

transients. Generally, once enough capacitance is
added to meet the overshoot requirement, undershoot

Input Capacitor Selection
The input filter capacitor reduces peak currents and
noise at the voltage source. A 22µF to 47µF capacitor
may be required for higher power and dynamic loads.

Application Information(Cont.)
Soft-Start
Input Source
Soft-start allows a gradual increase of the internal
current limit to reduce input surge currents at startup
and at exit from shutdown. A timing capacitor, CSS,
The output of the APW7093 can accept current due
to the reversible properties of the buck and the boost
converter. When voltage at the output of the APW7093
(low-voltage port) exceeds or equals the output set
voltage the flow of energy reverses, going from the
output to the input (high-voltage port). If the input (high
voltage port) is not connected to a low-impedance
source capable of absorbing energy, the voltage at
the input will rise. This voltage can violate the absolute maximum voltage at the input of the APW7093
and destroy the part. This occurs when sinking current
because the topology acts as a boost converter,
pumping energy from the low-voltage side (the output),
to the high-voltage side (the input). The input (highvoltage side) voltage is limited only by the clamping
effect of the voltage source connected there. To avoid
this problem, make sure the input to the APW7093 is
connected to a low impedance, two quadrant supply
or that the load (excluding the APW7093) connected
to that supply consumes more power than the amount
being transferred from the APW7093 output to the
placed from SS to GND sets the rate at which the
internal current limit is changed. Upon power-up, when
the device comes out of under-voltage lockout (2.6V
typ.) or after the SHDN pin is pulled high, a 4.7µA
constant current source charges the soft-start capacitor
and the voltage on SS increases. When the voltage
on SS is less than approximately 0.7V, the current
limit is set to zero. As the voltage increases from
0.7V to approximately VIN, the current limit is adjusted
from 0V to the current-limit threshold. The voltage
across the soft-start capacitor changes with time
according to the equation:
VSS =
4.7 µA × t
C SS
The output current limit during soft-start varies with
the voltage on the soft-start pin, SS, according to the
equation:

where ILIMIT is the current-limit threshold from the
Electrical Characteristics. The constant-current source
stops charging once the voltage across the soft-start
capacitor reaches 1.8V.
The APW7093 monitors sourcing and sinking current,
and limits the maximum output current to prevent
damages during overload or short-circuit.
Circuit Layout and Grounding

Good layout is necessary to achieve the APW7093’s
intended output power level, high efficiency, and low
noise. Good layout includes the use of ground planes,
careful component placement, and correct routing of
traces using appropriate trace widths. The following
points are in order of decreasing importance:

Circuit Layout and Grounding (Cont.)
1. Minimize switched-current and high-current ground
loops. Connect the input capacitor’s ground, the
output capacitor’s ground, and P GND close
together. Split the ground connections. Use separate
traces or planes for the PGND and GND and tie them
together at a single point.
2. The output capacitor should be placed close to the
output terminals to obtain better smoothing effect
on the output ripple.
3. Connect the input filter capacitor less than 5mm
away from IN. The connecting copper trace carries
large currents and must be at least 1mm wide,
preferably 2.5mm.
4.Place the LX node components as close together
and as near to the device as possible. This reduces
resistive and switching losses as well as noise.
5.G round planes are e ssent ial f o r opti m um
performance. In most applications, the circuit is
located on a multilayer board and full use of the four
or m ore layers is recom m ended. For heat
dissipation, connect the exposed backside pad of
the QFN package to a large analog ground plane,
preferably on a surface of the board that receives
good airflow. If the ground plane is located on the
top layer, make use of the N.C. pins adjacent to
GND to lower thermal resistance to the ground plane.
If the ground is located elsewhere, use several vias
to lower thermal resistance. Typical applications use
multiple ground planes to m inim ize therm al
resistance. Avoid large AC currents through the
analog ground plane.
