Amp DH VREF LX Logic EN Input DL MODE/SYNC PGND GND Functional Description The AAT1112 is a high performance 1.5A monolithic step-down converter operating at 1.4MHz switching frequency. It minimizes external component size and optimizes efficiency over the complete load range. Apart from the small bypass input capacitor, only a small L-C filter is required at the output. Typically, a 3.3μH inductor and a 22μF ceramic capacitor are recommended for a 3.3V output (see table of recommended values). At dropout, the converter duty cycle increases to 100% and the output voltage tracks the input voltage minus the RDS(ON) drop of the P-channel high-side MOSFET (plus the DC drop of the external inductor). The device integrates extremely low RDS(ON) MOSFETs to achieve low dropout voltage during 100% duty cycle operation. This is advantageous in applications requiring high output voltages (typically > 2.5V) at low input voltages. The integrated low-loss MOSFET switches can provide greater than 95% efficiency at full load. PFM operation 10 maintains high efficiency under light load conditions (typically <150mA). The MODE/ SYNC pin allows optional “PWM only” mode. This maintains constant frequency and low output ripple across all load conditions. Alternatively, the IC can be synchronized to an external clock via the MODE/ SYNC input. External synchronization is maintained between 0.6MHz and 3.0MHz. In battery-powered applications, as VIN decreases, the converter dynamically adjusts the operating frequency prior to dropout to maintain the required duty cycle and provide accurate output regulation. Output regulation is maintained until the dropout voltage, or minimum input voltage, is reached. At 1.5A output load, dropout voltage headroom is approximately 200mV. The AAT1112 typically achieves better than ±0.5% output regulation across the input voltage and output load range. A current limit of 2.0A (typical) protects the IC and system components from short-circuit damage. Typical no load quiescent current is 42μA. www.analogictech.com 1112.2007.11.1.2 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT1112 SwitchRegTM 1.5A, 1.4MHz Step-Down Converter Soft Start/Enable Thermal protection completely disables switching when the maximum junction temperature is detected. The junction over-temperature threshold is 140°C with 15°C of hysteresis. Once an over-temperature or over-current fault condition is removed, the output voltage automatically recovers. Soft start limits the current surge seen at the input and eliminates output voltage overshoot. When pulled low, the enable input forces the AAT1112 into a low-power, non-switching state. The total input current during shutdown is less than 1μA. Peak current mode control and optimized internal compensation provide high loop bandwidth and excellent response to input voltage and fast load transient events. Soft start eliminates output voltage overshoot when the enable or the input voltage is applied. Under-voltage lockout prevents spurious start-up events. Current Limit and Over-Temperature Protection For overload conditions, the peak input current is limited. To minimize power dissipation and stresses under current limit and short-circuit conditions, switching is terminated after entering current limit for a series of pulses. Switching is terminated for seven consecutive clock cycles after a current limit has been sensed for a series of four consecutive clock cycles. Control Loop The AAT1112 is a peak current mode step-down converter. The current through the P-channel MOSFET (high side) is sensed for current loop control, as well as shortcircuit and overload protection. A fixed slope compensation signal is added to the sensed current to maintain stability for duty cycles greater than 50%. The peak current mode loop appears as a voltage-programmed current source in parallel with the output capacitor. Thermal protection completely disables switching when internal dissipation becomes excessive. The junction over-temperature threshold is 140°C with 15°C of hysteresis. Once an over-temperature or over-current fault conditions is removed, the output voltage automatically recovers. The output of the voltage error amplifier programs the current mode loop for the necessary peak switch current to force a constant output voltage for all load and line conditions. Internal loop compensation terminates the transconductance voltage error amplifier output. The reference voltage is internally set to program the converter output voltage greater than or equal to 0.6V. Under-Voltage Lockout Internal bias of all circuits is controlled via the VIN input. Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) guarantees sufficient VIN bias and proper operation of all internal circuitry prior to activation.

The output inductor value must be selected so the inductor current down slope meets the internal slope compensation requirements. The inductor should be set equal to the output voltage numeric value in μH. This guarantees that there is sufficient internal slope compensation. Manufacturer’s specifications list both the inductor DC current rating, which is a thermal limitation, and the peak current rating, which is determined by the saturation characteristics. The inductor should not show any appreciable saturation under normal load conditions. Some inductors may meet the peak and average current ratings yet result in excessive losses due to a high DCR. Always consider the losses associated with the DCR and its effect on the total converter efficiency when selecting an inductor. The 3.3μH CDRH4D28 series Sumida inductor has a 49.2mΩ worst case DCR and a 1.57A DC current rating. At full 1.5A load, the inductor DC loss is 97mW which gives less than 1.5% loss in efficiency for a 1.5A, 3.3V output. Input Capacitor Select a 10μF to 22μF X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor for the input. To estimate the required input capacitor size, determine the acceptable input ripple level (VPP) and solve for C. The calculated value varies with input voltage and is a maximum when VIN is double the output voltage. CIN = V ⎞ VO ⎛ · 1- O VIN ⎝ VIN ⎠ ⎛ VPP ⎞ - ESR · FS ⎝ IO ⎠ 12 1 ⎛ VPP ⎞ - ESR · 4 · FS ⎝ IO ⎠ The maximum input capacitor RMS current is: IRMS = IO · VO ⎛ V ⎞ · 1- O VIN ⎝ VIN ⎠ The input capacitor RMS ripple current varies with the input and output voltage and will always be less than or equal to half of the total DC load current.

This is why the input voltage ripple and the input capacitor RMS current ripple are a maximum at 50% duty cycle. IN IN The input capacitor provides a low impedance loop for the edges of pulsed current drawn by the AAT1112. Low ESR/ESL X7R and X5R ceramic capacitors are ideal for this function. To minimize stray inductance, the capacitor should be placed as closely as possible to the IC. This keeps the high frequency content of the input current localized, minimizing EMI and input voltage ripple. The proper placement of the input capacitor (C1) can be seen in the evaluation board layout in the Layout section of this datasheet (see Figure 2). VO ⎛ V ⎞ 1 · 1 - O = for VIN = 2 · VO VIN ⎝ VIN ⎠ 4 CIN(MIN) = Always examine the ceramic capacitor DC voltage coefficient characteristics when selecting the proper value. For example, the capacitance of a 10μF, 6.3V, X5R ceramic capacitor with 5.0V DC applied is actually about 6μF. A laboratory test set-up typically consists of two long wires running from the bench power supply to the evaluation board input voltage pins. The inductance of these wires, along with the low-ESR ceramic input capacitor, can create a high Q network that may affect converter performance. This problem often becomes apparent in the form of excessive ringing in the output voltage during load transients. Errors in the loop phase and gain measurements can also result. www.analogictech.com 1112.2007.11.1.2 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT1112 SwitchRegTM 1.5A, 1.4MHz Step-Down Converter Since the inductance of a short PCB trace feeding the input voltage is significantly lower than the power leads from the bench power supply, most applications do not exhibit this problem. In applications where the input power source lead inductance cannot be reduced to a level that does not affect the converter performance, a high ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytic should be placed in parallel with the low ESR/ESL bypass ceramic capacitor. This dampens the high Q network and stabilizes the system. Output Capacitor The output capacitor limits the output ripple and provides holdup during large load transitions. A 10μF to 22μF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor typically provides sufficient bulk capacitance to stabilize the output during large load transitions and has the ESR and ESL characteristics necessary for low output ripple. The output voltage droop due to a load transient is dominated by the capacitance of the ceramic output capacitor. During a step increase in load current, the ceramic output capacitor alone supplies the load current until the loop responds. Within two or three switching cycles, the loop responds and the inductor current increases to match the load current demand. The relationship of the output voltage droop during the three switching cycles to the output capacitance can be estimated by: 3 · ΔILOAD COUT = VDROOP · FS Once the average inductor current increases to the DC load level, the output voltage recovers. The above equation establishes a limit on the minimum value for the output capacitor with respect to load transients. The internal voltage loop compensation also limits the minimum output capacitor value to 10μF. This is due to its effect on the loop crossover frequency (bandwidth), phase margin, and gain margin. Increased output capacitance will reduce the crossover frequency with greater phase margin. Adjustable Output Resistor Selection The output voltage on the AAT1112 is programmed with external resistors R1 and R2. To limit the bias current required for the external feedback resistor string while 1112.2007.11.1.2 maintaining good noise immunity, the minimum suggested value for R2 is 59kΩ. Although a larger value will further reduce quiescent current, it will also increase the impedance of the feedback node, making it more sensitive to external noise and interference. Table 1 summarizes the resistor values for various output voltages with R2 set to either 59kΩ for good noise immunity or 221kΩ for reduced no load input current.

Thermal Calculations There are three types of losses associated with the AAT1112 step-down converter: switching losses, conduction losses, and quiescent current losses. Conduction losses are associated with the RDS(ON) characteristics of the power output switching devices. Switching losses are dominated by the gate charge of the power output switching devices. At full load, assuming continuous conduction mode (CCM), a simplified form of the losses is given by: PTOTAL = IO2 · (RDS(ON)H · VO + RDS(ON)L · [VIN - VO]) VIN + (tsw · FS · IO + IQ) · VIN IQ is the step-down converter quiescent current. The term tsw is used to estimate the full load step-down converter switching losses. www.analogictech.com 13 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT1112 SwitchRegTM 1.5A, 1.4MHz Step-Down Converter For the condition where the step-down converter is in dropout at 100% duty cycle, the total device dissipation reduces to: PTOTAL = IO2 · RDS(ON)H + IQ · VIN Layout The suggested PCB layout for the AAT1112 is shown in Figures 2 and 3. The following guidelines should be used to help ensure a proper layout. 1. Since RDS(ON), quiescent current, and switching losses all vary with input voltage, the total losses should be investigated over the complete input voltage range. Given the total losses, the maximum junction temperature can be derived from the θJA for the TDFN3-12 and TSOPJW-12 packages, which is 50°C/W and 160°C/W respectively. 2. 3. 4. TJ(MAX) = PTOTAL · ΘJA + TAMB 5. The input capacitor (C1) should connect as closely as possible to VP and PGND. C2 and L1 should be connected as closely as possible. The connection of L1 to the LX pin should be as short as possible. The feedback trace or FB pin should be separate from any power trace and connect as closely as possible to the load point. Sensing along a high-current load trace will degrade DC load regulation. The resistance of the trace from the load return to PGND should be kept to a minimum. This will help to minimize any error in DC regulation due to differences in the potential of the internal signal ground and the power ground. Connect unused signal pins to ground to avoid unwanted noise coupling.
