SP6132EB SCHEMATIC Rev 09/15/03 SP6132 Evaluation Manual Copyright 2003 Sipex Corporation USING THE EVALUATION BOARD 1) Powering Up the SP6132 Circuit Connect the SP6132 Evaluation Board with an external +12V power supply. Connect with short leads and large diameter wire directly to the “VIN” and “GND” posts. Connect a Load between the VOUT and GND posts, again using short leads with large diameter wire to minimize inductance and voltage drops. 2) Measuring Output Load Characteristics It’s best to GND reference scope and digital meters using the Star GND post in the center of the board. VOUT ripple can best be seen touching probe tip to the pad for COUT and scope GND collar touching Star GND post – avoid a GND lead on the scope which will increase noise pickup. 3) Using the Evaluation Board with Different Output Voltages While the SP6132 Evaluation Board has been tested and delivered with the output set to 3.30V, by simply changing one resistor, R2, the SP6132 can be set to other output voltages. The relationship in the following formula is based on a voltage divider from the output to the feedback pin VFB, which is set to an internal reference voltage of 0.80V. Standard 1% metal film resistors of surface mount size 0603 are recommended. Vout = 0.80V ( R1 / R2 + 1 ) or R2 = R1 / [ ( Vout / 0.80V ) – 1 ] Where R1 = 68.1KΩ and for Vout = 0.80V setting, simply remove R2 from the board. Furthermore, one could select the value of R1 and R2 combination to meet the exact output voltage setting by restricting R1 resistance range such that 50KΩ ≤ R1 ≤ 100KΩ for overall system loop stability. Note that since the SP6132CU Evaluation Board design was optimized for 12V down conversion to 3.30V, changes of output voltage and/or input voltage will alter performance from the data given in the Power Supply Data section. In addition, the SP6132CU provides short circuit protection by sensing Vout at GND however for a better and robust current limit a comparator circuit could be used as shown on the SP6132EB Schematic. POWER SUPPLY DATA The SP6132 is designed with a very accurate 1.0% reference over line, load and temperature. Figure 1 data shows a typical SP6132CU Evaluation Board Efficiency plot, with efficiencies to 94% and output currents to 10A. SP6132CU Load Regulation shown in Figure 2 shows only 0.3% change in output voltage from no load to 10A load. Figures 3 and 4 illustrate a 0A to 5.0A and 5.0A to 10A Load Step. Start-up Response in Figures 5, 6 and 7 show a controlled start-up with different output load behavior when power is applied where the input current rises smoothly as the Softstart ramp increases. In Figure 8 the SP6132CU is configured for hiccup mode in response to an output dead short circuit condition and will Softstart until the over-load is removed. Figure 9 and 10 show output voltage ripple less than 60mV at no load to 10A load. While data on individual power supply boards may vary, the capability of the SP6132 of achieving high accuracy over a range of load conditions shown here is quite impressive and desirable for accurate power supply design. 2 3 .4 4 80 3 .4 3 70 3 .4 2 60 3 .4 1 Vout (V) 3 .4 5 90 Efficiency (%) 100 50 40 30 Vin=12V Vout=3.3V 20 3 .4 0 3 .3 9 3 .3 8 Vin=12V Vout=3.3V 3 .3 7 10 3 .3 6 0 2 4 6 8 10 3 .3 5 12 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 L o a d C u rre n t (A ) L o a d C u r r e n t (A ) Figure 1.

The same argument is also applying both to C2, C4 OUT and C2, C4 IN. 5 LOOP COMPENSATION DESIGN The open loop gain of the SP6132EB can be divided into the gain of the error amplifier Gamp(s), PWM modulator Gpwm, buck converter output stage Gout(s), and feedback resistor divider Gfbk. In order to crossover at the selecting frequency fco, the gain of the error amplifier has to compensate for the attenuation caused by the rest of the loop at this frequency. The goal of loop compensation is to manipulate the open loop frequency response such that its gain crosses over 0dB at a slope of –20dB/dec. The open loop crossover frequency should be higher than the ESR zero of the output capacitors but less than 1/5 of the switching frequency fs to insure proper operation. Since the SP6132EB is designed with a Ceramic Type output capacitors, a Type III compensation circuit is required to give a phase boost of 180° in order to counteract the effects of the output LC under damped resonance double pole frequency. Figure 11. SP6132EB Voltage Mode Control Loop with Loop Dynamic The simple guidelines for positioning the poles and zeros and for calculating the component values for a Type III compensation are as follows. a. Choose fco = fs / 5 b. Calculate fp_LC fp_LC = 1 / 2π [(L) (C)] ^ 1/2 c. Calculate fz_ESR fz_ESR = 1 / 2π (Resr) (Cout) d. Select R1 component value such that 50kΩ ≤ R1 ≤ 100kΩ e. Calculate R2 base on the desired Vout R2 = R1 / [(Vout / 0.80V) – 1] 6 f. Select the ratio of Rz2 / R1 gain for the desired gain bandwidth Rz2 = (R1) (Vramp_pp / Vin) (fco / fp_LC) g. Calculate Cz2 by placing the zero at ½ of the output filter pole frequency Cz2 = 1 / π (Rz2) (fp_LC) h. Calculate Cp1 by placing the first pole at ESR zero frequency Cp1 = 1 / 2π (Rz2) (fz_ESR) i. Calculate Rz3 by setting the second pole at ½ of the switching frequency and the second zero at the output filter double pole frequency Rz3 = 2 (R1) (fp_LC) / fs j. Calculate Cz3 from Rz3 component value above Cz3 = 1 / π (Rz3) (fs) k. Choose 100pF ≤ Cf1 ≤ 220pF to stabilize the SP6132CU internal Error Amplify As a particular example, consider for the following SP6132EB with a type III Voltage Loop Compensation component selections: Vin = 5 to 12V Vout = 3.30V @ 0 to 10A load Select L = 2.7uH => yield ≈ 20% of maximum 10A output current ripple. Select Cout = 2x47uF Ceramic capacitors (Resr ≈ 2mΩ) fs = 300khz SP6132CU internal Oscillator Frequency Vramp_pp = 1.0V SP6132CU internal Ramp Peak to Peak Amplitude Step by step design procedures: a. fco = 300khz / 5 = 60khz b. fp_LC = 1 / 2π [(2.7uH)(2)(47uF)]^1/2 ≅ 10khz c. fz_ESR = 1 / 2π (2mΩ)(2)(47uF) ≈ 850khz d. R1 = 68.1kΩ, 1% e. R2 = 68.1kΩ / [(3.30V / 0.80V) – 1] ≅ 21.5kΩ, 1% f. Rz2 = 68.1kΩ (1.0V / 12V) (60khz / 10khz) ≈ 40.2kΩ, 1% g. Cz2 = 1 / π (40.2kΩ) (10khz) ≈ 820pF, COG h. Cp1 = 1 / 2π (40.2kΩ) (850khz) ≈ 5pF => Select Cp1 = 56pF for noise filtering i. Rz3 = 2 (68.1kΩ) (10khz) / 300khz ≈ 4.64kΩ, 1% j. Cz3 = 1 / π (4.64kΩ) (300khz) ≅ 220pF, COG k. Cf1 = 100pF to stabilize SP6132CU internal Error Amplify 7 PC LAYOUT DRAWINGS Figure 11. SP6132EB Component Placement Figure 12. SP6132EB PC Layout Top Side Figure 13.
