The SM74301 Step Down Switching Regulator features all of the functions needed to implement a low cost, efficient, Buck bias regulator. This high voltage regulator contains a 100V NChannel Buck Switch. The device is easy to implement and is provided in the MSOP-8 and the thermally enhanced LLP-8 packages. The regulator is based on a control scheme using an ON time inversely proportional to VIN. This feature allows the operating frequency to remain relatively constant. The control scheme requires no loop compensation. An intelligent current limit is implemented with forced OFF time, which is inversely proportional to Vout. This scheme ensures short circuit control while providing minimum foldback. Other features include: Thermal Shutdown, VCC under-voltage lockout, Gate drive under-voltage lockout, Max Duty Cycle limiter, and a pre-charge switch. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Typical Applications ■ MSOP - 8 ■ LLP - 8 (4mm x 4mm) ■ High Voltage Photovoltaic Systems ■ Non-Isolated Telecommunication Buck Regulator ■ Secondary High Voltage Post Regulator ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Renewable Energy Grade Operating input voltage range: 6V to 95V Integrated 100V, N-Channel buck switch Internal start-up regulator No loop compensation required Ultra-Fast transient response On time varies inversely with input voltage Operating frequency remains constant with varying line voltage and load current Adjustable output voltage from 2.5V Highly efficient operation Precision internal reference Low bias current Intelligent current limit Thermal shutdown Package Typical Application, Basic Step-Down Regulator 30160201 © 2011 National Semiconductor Corporation 301602 www.national.com SM74301 100V, 350 mA Constant On-Time Buck Switching Regulator July 10, 2011 SM74301 Connection Diagrams 30160203 Top View 8-Lead MSOP 30160202 Top View 8-Lead LLP Ordering Information Order Number Package Type Package Marking NSC Package Drawing SM74301MM SM74301MMX Supplied As 1000 Units on Tape and Reel MSOP-8 SB9B MUA08A 3500 Units on Tape and Reel SM74301MME 250 Units on Tape and Reel SM74301SD 1000 Units on Tape and Reel SM74301SDX LLP-8 S4301 SDC08B SM74301SDE 4500 Units on Tape and Reel 250 Units on Tape and Reel Pin Descriptions Pin Name 1 SW Switching Node Power switching node.

In discontinuous conduction mode, current through the output inductor starts at zero and ramps up to a peak during the on-time, then ramps back to zero before the end of the off-time. The next on-time period starts when the voltage at FB falls below the internal reference - until then the inductor current remains zero. In this mode the operating frequency is lower than in continuous conduction mode, and varies with load current. Therefore at light loads the conversion efficiency is maintained, since the switching losses reduce with the reduction in load and frequency. The discontinuous operating frequency can be calculated as follows: Functional Description The SM74301 Step Down Switching Regulator features all the functions needed to implement a low cost, efficient, Buck bias power converter. This high voltage regulator contains a 100 V N-Channel Buck Switch, is easy to implement and is provided in the MSOP-8 and the thermally enhanced LLP-8 packages. The regulator is based on a control scheme using an on-time inversely proportional to VIN. The control scheme requires no loop compensation. Current limit is implemented with forced off-time, which is inversely proportional to VOUT. This scheme ensures short circuit control while providing minimum foldback. The SM74301 can be applied in numerous applications to efficiently regulate down higher voltages. This regulator is well suited for high voltage PV panels, 48 Volt Telecom, and the 42V Automotive power bus ranges. Features include: Thermal Shutdown, VCC under-voltage lockout, Gate drive undervoltage lockout, Max Duty Cycle limit timer, intelligent current limit off timer, and a pre-charge switch. where RL = the load resistance In continuous conduction mode, current flows continuously through the inductor and never ramps down to zero. In this mode the operating frequency is greater than the discontinuous mode frequency and remains relatively constant with load and line variations. The approximate continuous mode operating frequency can be calculated as follows: Control Circuit Overview The SM74301 is a Buck DC-DC regulator that uses a control scheme in which the on-time varies inversely with line voltage (VIN). Control is based on a comparator and the on-time oneshot, with the output voltage feedback (FB) compared to an internal reference (2.5V). If the FB level is below the reference the buck switch is turned on for a fixed time determined by the line voltage and a programming resistor (RT). Following the ON period the switch will remain off for at least the minimum off-timer period of 300ns. If FB is still below the reference at that time the switch will turn on again for another on-time period. This will continue until regulation is achieved. www.national.com (1) The output voltage (VOUT) is programmed by two external resistors as shown in the Block Diagram. The regulation point can be calculated as follows: VOUT = 2.5 x (RFB1 + RFB2) / RFB1 6 For applications where lower output voltage ripple is required the output can be taken directly from a low ESR output capacitor, as shown in Figure 1. However, R3 slightly degrades the load regulation. 30160213 FIGURE 1. Low Ripple Output Configuration response to a step input applied at VIN. C3 must be located as close as possible to the VCC and RTN pins. In applications with a relatively high input voltage, power dissipation in the bias regulator is a concern. An auxiliary voltage of between 7.5V and 14V can be diode connected to the VCC pin to shut off the VCC regulator, thereby reducing internal power dissipation. The current required into the VCC pin is shown in the graph “ICC Current vs. Applied VCC Voltage”. Internally a diode connects VCC to VIN requiring that the auxiliary voltage be less than VIN. The turn-on sequence is shown in Figure 2. During the initial delay (t1) VCC ramps up at a rate determined by its current limit and C3 while internal circuitry stabilizes. When VCC reaches the upper threshold of its under-voltage lock-out (UVLO, typically 5.3V) the buckswitch is enabled. The inductor current increases to the current limit threshold (ILIM) and during t2 VOUT increases as the output capacitor charges up. When VOUT reaches the intended voltage the average inductor current decreases (t3) to the nominal load current (IO). Start-Up Regulator (VCC) The high voltage bias regulator is integrated within the SM74301. The input pin (VIN) can be connected directly to line voltages between 6V and 95V, with transient capability to 100V. Referring to the block diagram and the graph of VCC vs VIN, when VIN is between 6V and the bypass threshold (nominally 8.5V), the bypass switch (Q2) is on, and VCC tracks VIN within 100 mV to 150 mV. The bypass switch on-resistance is approximately 100Ω, with inherent current limiting at approximately 100 mA. When VIN is above the bypass threshold Q2 is turned off, and VCC is regulated at 7V. The VCC regulator output current is limited at approximately 9.2 mA. When the SM74301 is shutdown using the RT/SD pin, the VCC bypass switch is shut off regardless of the voltage at VIN. When VIN exceeds the bypass threshold, the time required for Q2 to shut off is approximately 2 - 3 µs. The capacitor at VCC (C3) must be a minimum of 0.47 µF to prevent the voltage at VCC from rising above its absolute maximum rating in 7 www.national.com SM74301 The SM74301 regulates the output voltage based on ripple voltage at the feedback input, requiring a minimum amount of ESR for the output capacitor C2. A minimum of 25mV to 50mV of ripple voltage at the feedback pin (FB) is required for the SM74301. In cases where the capacitor ESR is too small, additional series resistance may be required (R3 in the Block Diagram). SM74301 30160214 FIGURE 2. Startup Sequence Regulation Comparator On-Time Generator and Shutdown The feedback voltage at FB is compared to an internal 2.5V reference. In normal operation (the output voltage is regulated), an on-time period is initiated when the voltage at FB falls below 2.5V. The buck switch will stay on for the on-time, causing the FB voltage to rise above 2.5V. After the on-time period, the buck switch will stay off until the FB voltage again falls below 2.5V. During start-up, the FB voltage will be below 2.5V at the end of each on-time, resulting in the minimum offtime of 300 ns. Bias current at the FB pin is nominally 100 nA. The on-time for the SM74301 is determined by the RT resistor, and is inversely proportional to the input voltage (Vin), resulting in a nearly constant frequency as Vin is varied over its range. The on-time equation for the SM74301 is: TON = 1.385 x 10-10 x RT / VIN Over-Voltage Comparator The feedback voltage at FB is compared to an internal 2.875V reference. If the voltage at FB rises above 2.875V the on-time pulse is immediately terminated. This condition can occur if the input voltage, or the output load, change suddenly. The buck switch will not turn on again until the voltage at FB falls below 2.5V. www.national.com (2) RT should be selected for a minimum on-time (at maximum VIN) greater than 400 ns, for proper current limit operation. This requirement limits the maximum frequency for each application, depending on VIN and VOUT. The SM74301 can be remotely disabled by taking the RT/SD pin to ground. See Figure 3. The voltage at the RT/SD pin is between 1.5 and 3.0 volts, depending on Vin and the value of the RT resistor. 8 The SM74301 should be operated so the junction temperature does not exceed 125°C during normal operation. An internal Thermal Shutdown circuit is provided to shutdown the SM74301 in the event of a higher than normal junction temperature. When activated, typically at 165°C, the controller is forced into a low power reset state by disabling the buck switch. This feature prevents catastrophic failures from accidental device overheating. When the junction temperature reduces below 140°C (typical hysteresis = 25°C) normal operation is resumed. 30160215 FIGURE 3. Shutdown Implementation Applications Information Current Limit SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS A guide for determining the component values will be illustrated with a design example. Refer to the Block Diagram. The following steps will configure the SM74301 for: • Input voltage range (Vin): 12V to 95V • Output voltage (VOUT1): 10V • Load current (for continuous conduction mode): 100 mA to 300 mA RFB1, RFB2: VOUT = VFB x (RFB1 + RFB2) / RFB1, and since VFB = 2.5V, the ratio of RFB2 to RFB1 calculates as 3:1. Standard values of 3.01 kΩ and 1.00 kΩ are chosen. Other values could be used as long as the 3:1 ratio is maintained. Fs and RT: The recommended operating frequency range for the SM74301 is 50 kHz to 1.1 MHz. Unless the application requires a specific frequency, the choice of frequency is generally a compromise since it affects the size of L1 and C2, and the switching losses. The maximum allowed frequency, based on a minimum on-time of 400 ns, is calculated from: The SM74301 contains an intelligent current limit OFF timer. If the current in the Buck switch exceeds 0.51A the present cycle is immediately terminated, and a non-resetable OFF timer is initiated. The length of off-time is controlled by an external resistor (RCL) and the FB voltage (see the graph Current Limit Off-Time vs. VFB and RCL). When FB = 0V, a maximum off-time is required, and the time is preset to 35µs. This condition occurs when the output is shorted, and during the initial part of start-up. This amount of time ensures safe short circuit operation up to the maximum input voltage of 95V. In cases of overload where the FB voltage is above zero volts (not a short circuit) the current limit off-time will be less than 35µs. Reducing the off-time during less severe overloads reduces the amount of foldback, recovery time, and the start-up time. The off-time is calculated from the following equation: FMAX = VOUT / (VINMAX x 400 ns) For this exercise, Fmax = 263 kHz. From equation 1, RT calculates to 274 kΩ. A standard value 324 kΩ resistor will be used to allow for tolerances in equation 1, resulting in a frequency of 223 kHz. L1: The main parameter affected by the inductor is the output current ripple amplitude. The choice of inductor value therefore depends on both the minimum and maximum load currents, keeping in mind that the maximum ripple current occurs at maximum Vin. a) Minimum load current: To maintain continuous conduction at minimum Io (100 mA), the ripple amplitude (IOR) must be less than 200 mA p-p so the lower peak of the waveform does not reach zero. L1 is calculated using the following equation: (3) The current limit sensing circuit is blanked for the first 50-70ns of each on-time so it is not falsely tripped by the current surge which occurs at turn-on. The current surge is required by the re-circulating diode (D1) for its turn-off recovery. N - Channel Buck Switch and Driver The SM74301 integrates an N-Channel Buck switch and associated floating high voltage gate driver. The gate driver circuit works in conjunction with an external bootstrap capacitor and an internal high voltage diode. A 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor (C4) connected between the BST pin and SW pin provides the voltage to the driver during the on-time. During each off-time, the SW pin is at approximately 0V, and the bootstrap capacitor charges from Vcc through the internal diode. The minimum OFF timer, set to 300ns, ensures a minimum time each cycle to recharge the bootstrap capacitor. The internal pre-charge switch at the SW pin is turned on for ≊150 ns during the minimum off-time period, ensuring sufficient voltage exists across the bootstrap capacitor for the ontime. This feature helps prevent operating problems which can occur during very light load conditions, involving a long off-time, during which the voltage across the bootstrap capacitor could otherwise reduce below the Gate Drive UVLO threshold. The pre-charge switch also helps prevent startup problems which can occur if the output voltage is pre-charged prior to turn-on. After current limit detection, the pre-charge switch is turned on for the entire duration of the forced offtime . At Vin = 95V, L1(min) calculates to 200 µH. The next larger standard value (220 µH) is chosen and with this value IOR calculates to 182 mA p-p at Vin = 95V, and 34 mA p-p at Vin = 12V. b) Maximum load current: At a load current of 300 mA, the peak of the ripple waveform must not reach the minimum guaranteed value of the SM74301’s current limit threshold (410 mA). Therefore the ripple amplitude must be less than 220 mA p-p, which is already satisfied in the above calculation. With L1 = 220 µH, at maximum Vin and Io, the peak of the ripple will be 391 mA. While L1 must carry this peak cur- 9 www.national.com SM74301 Thermal Protection SM74301 rent without saturating or exceeding its temperature rating, it also must be capable of carrying the maximum guaranteed value of the SM74301’s current limit threshold (610 mA) without saturating, since the current limit is reached during startup. The DC resistance of the inductor should be as low as possible. For example, if the inductor’s DCR is one ohm, the power dissipated at maximum load current is 0.09W. While small, it is not insignificant compared to the load power of 3W. C3: The capacitor on the VCC output provides not only noise filtering and stability, but its primary purpose is to prevent false triggering of the VCC UVLO at the buck switch on/off transitions. C3 should be no smaller than 0.47 µF. C2, and R3: When selecting the output filter capacitor C2, the items to consider are ripple voltage due to its ESR, ripple voltage due to its capacitance, and the nature of the load. ESR and R3: A low ESR for C2 is generally desirable so as to minimize power losses and heating within the capacitor. However, the regulator requires a minimum amount of ripple voltage at the feedback input for proper loop operation. For the SM74301 the minimum ripple required at pin 5 is 25 mV p-p, requiring a minimum ripple at VOUT of 100 mV. Since the minimum ripple current (at minimum Vin) is 34 mA p-p, the minimum ESR required at VOUT is 100 mV/34 mA = 2.94Ω. Since quality capacitors for SMPS applications have an ESR considerably less than this, R3 is inserted as shown in the Block Diagram. R3’s value, along with C2’s ESR, must result in at least 25 mV p-p ripple at pin 5. Generally, R3 will be 0.5 to 3.0Ω. RCL: When current limit is detected, the minimum off-time set by this resistor must be greater than the maximum normal offtime, which occurs at maximum input voltage. Using Equation 2, the minimum on-time is 472 ns, yielding an off-time of 4 µs (at 223 kHz). Due to the 25% tolerance on the on-time, the off-time tolerance is also 25%, yielding a maximum off-time of 5 µs. Allowing for the response time of the current limit detection circuit (350 ns) increases the maximum off-time to 5.35 µs. This is increased an additional 25% to 6.7 µs to allow for the tolerances of Equation 3. Using Equation 3, RCL calculates to 325 kΩ at VFB = 2.5V. A standard value 332 kΩ resistor will be used. D1: The important parameters are reverse recovery time and forward voltage. The reverse recovery time determines how long the reverse current surge lasts each time the buck switch is turned on. The forward voltage drop is significant in the event the output is short-circuited as it is only this diode’s voltage which forces the inductor current to reduce during the forced off-time. For this reason, a higher voltage is better, although that affects efficiency. A good choice is a Schottky power diode, such as the DFLS1100. D1’s reverse voltage rating must be at least as great as the maximum Vin, and its current rating be greater than the maximum current limit threshold (610 mA). C1: This capacitor’s purpose is to supply most of the switch current during the on-time, and limit the voltage ripple at Vin, on the assumption that the voltage source feeding Vin has an output impedance greater than zero. At maximum load current, when the buck switch turns on, the current into pin 8 will suddenly increase to the lower peak of the output current www.national.com waveform, ramp up to the peak value, then drop to zero at turn-off. The average input current during this on-time is the load current (300 mA). For a worst case calculation, C1 must supply this average load current during the maximum on-time. To keep the input voltage ripple to less than 2V (for this exercise), C1 calculates to: Quality ceramic capacitors in this value have a low ESR which adds only a few millivolts to the ripple. It is the capacitance which is dominant in this case. To allow for the capacitor’s tolerance, temperature effects, and voltage effects, a 1.0 µF, 100V, X7R capacitor will be used. C4: The recommended value is 0.01µF for C4, as this is appropriate in the majority of applications. A high quality ceramic capacitor, with low ESR is recommended as C4 supplies the surge current to charge the buck switch gate at turn-on. A low ESR also ensures a quick recharge during each off-time. At minimum Vin, when the on-time is at maximum, it is possible during start-up that C4 will not fully recharge during each 300 ns off-time. The circuit will not be able to complete the startup, and achieve output regulation. This can occur when the frequency is intended to be low (e.g., RT = 500K). In this case C4 should be increased so it can maintain sufficient voltage across the buck switch driver during each on-time. C5: This capacitor helps avoid supply voltage transients and ringing due to long lead inductance at VIN. A low ESR, 0.1µF ceramic chip capacitor is recommended, located close to the SM74301. FINAL CIRCUIT The final circuit is shown in Figure 4. The circuit was tested, and the resulting performance is shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6. PC BOARD LAYOUT The SM74301 regulation and over-voltage comparators are very fast, and as such will respond to short duration noise pulses. Layout considerations are therefore critical for optimum performance. The components at pins 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 should be as physically close as possible to the IC, thereby minimizing noise pickup in the PC tracks. The current loop formed by D1, L1, and C2 should be as small as possible. The ground connection from D1 to C1 should be as short and direct as possible. If the internal dissipation of the SM74301 produces excessive junction temperatures during normal operation, good use of the pc board’s ground plane can help considerably to dissipate heat. The exposed pad on the bottom of the LLP-8 package can be soldered to a ground plane on the PC board, and that plane should extend out from beneath the IC to help dissipate the heat. Additionally, the use of wide PC board traces, where possible, can also help conduct heat away from the IC. Judicious positioning of the PC board within the end product, along with use of any available air flow (forced or natural convection) can help reduce the junction temperatures. 10 SM74301 30160218 FIGURE 4.

Efficiency vs. Load Current and VIN 30160228 FIGURE 6. Efficiency vs. VIN LOW OUTPUT RIPPLE CONFIGURATIONS For applications where low output ripple is required, the following options can be used to reduce or nearly eliminate the ripple. a) Reduced ripple configuration: In Figure 7, Cff is added across RFB2 to AC-couple the ripple at VOUT directly to the FB pin. This allows the ripple at VOUT to be reduced to a minimum of 25 mVp-p by reducing R3, since the ripple at VOUT is not attenuated by the feedback resistors. The minimum value for Cff is determined from: www.national.com where tON(max) is the maximum on-time, which occurs at VIN (min). The next larger standard value capacitor should be used for Cff. 12 30160221 FIGURE 7. Reduced Ripple Configuration b) Minimum ripple configuration: If the application requires a lower value of ripple (<10 mVp-p), the circuit of Figure 8 can be used. R3 is removed, and the resulting output ripple voltage is determined by the inductor’s ripple current and C2’s characteristics. RA and CA are chosen to generate a sawtooth waveform at their junction, and that voltage is ACcoupled to the FB pin via CB. To determine the values for RA, CA and CB, use the following procedure: 30160223 FIGURE 9. Alternate Minimum Output Ripple Calculate VA = VOUT - (VSW x (1 - (VOUT/VIN(min)))) where VSW is the absolute value of the voltage at the SW pin during the off-time (typically 1V). VA is the DC voltage at the RA/CA junction, and is used in the next equation. - Calculate RA x CA = (VIN(min) - VA) x tON/ΔV where tON is the maximum on-time (at minimum input voltage), and ΔV is the desired ripple amplitude at the RA/CA junction (typically 40-50 mV). RA and CA are then chosen from standard value components to satisfy the above product. Typically CA is 1000 pF to 5000 pF, and RA is 10 kΩ to 300 kΩ. CB is then chosen large compared to CA, typically 0.1 µF. 30160222 FIGURE 8. Minimum Output Ripple Using Ripple Injection 13 www.national.com SM74301 c) Alternate minimum ripple configuration: The circuit in Figure 9 is the same as that in the Block Diagram, except the output voltage is taken from the junction of R3 and C2. The ripple at VOUT is determined by the inductor’s ripple current and C2’s characteristics. However, R3 slightly degrades the load regulation. This circuit may be suitable if the load current is fairly constant.
