The error amplifier monitors the output voltage via the feedback resistor divider by comparing the feedback voltage with the reference voltage. When the feedback voltage is lower than the reference voltage, the error amplifier output will decrease. The error amplifier output is then compared with the oscillator ramp voltage at the PWM controller. The APW7077/A series are low noise fixed frequency voltage–mode PWM DC–DC controllers, and consist of start–up circuit, reference voltage, oscillator, loop compensation network, PWM control circuit, and low ON resistance driver. APW7077 provide on–chip feedback resistor and loop compensation network, the system designer can get the regulated fixed output voltage 3.3V and 5.0V with a small number of external components, it is optimized for battery powered portable products where large output current is required. APW7077A provide internal reference voltage 1.0V and output voltage setting by external resistance for higher voltage requirement. The quiescent current is typically 120uA (VOUT = 3.3V, fsw = 300kHz), and can be further reduced to about 1.0uA when the chip is disabled (VCE < 0.7V). Copyright ANPEC Electronics Corp. Rev. A.4 - Sep, 2005 When the feedback voltage is higher than the reference voltage, the error amplifier output increases and the duty cycle decreases. When the external power switch is on, the current ramps up in the inductor, storing energy in the magnetic field. When the external power switch is off, the energy stored in the magnetic field is transferred to the output filter capacitor and the load. The output filter capacitor stores the charge while the 11 www.anpec.com.tw APW7077/A Function Description (Cont.) Operation (Cont.) ramp up to let output voltage reach to setting voltage without over shooting issue whenever heavy load or light load condition. The soft start time 25ms is setting by internal circuit. inductor current is higher than the output current, then sustains the output voltage until the next switching cycle. Oscillator As the load current is decreased, the switch transistor turns on for a shorter duty cycle. Under the light load condition, the controller will skip switching cycles to reduce power consumption, so that high efficiency is maintained at light loads. The oscillator frequency is internally set to 300 kHz at an accuracy of +/-10% and with low temperature coefficient of 3.3%/°C. Enable/Disable Operation Fixed Output Voltage (for APW7077 only) The APW7077/A series offer IC shutdown mode by chip enable pin (CE pin) to reduce current consumption. When voltage at pin CE is greater than 1.2 V, the chip will be enabled, which means the controller is in normal operation. When voltage at pin CE is less than 0.7 V, the chip is disabled, which means IC is shutdown and quiescent current become 1uA. The APW7077 VOUT is set by an integrate feedback resistor network. This is trimmed to a selected voltage 3.3 V or 5.0 V with an accuracy of +/-2.5%. Setting Output Voltage (for APW7077A only) For APW7077A, the output voltage is adjustable. The output voltage is set using the FB pin and a resistor divider connected to the output as shown in the typical operating circuit. The internal reference voltage is 1.0V with 2% variation, so the ratio of the feedback resistors sets the output voltage according to the following equation: R2 V OUT = (1 + ) × 1.0V R1 To avoid the thermal noise from feedback resistor, (R1+R2) resistance smaller than 1MΩ and 1% variation is recommended. The CE pin pull high to VDD(or VOUT) by internal resistor, and this resistance is greater than 1MΩ . So this chip will enable normally when CE pin floating. Important: DO NOT apply a voltage between 0.7V to 1.2 V to pin CE as this is the CE pin’s hysteresis voltage range. Clearly defined output states can only be obtained by applying voltage out of this range. Compensation The device is designed to operate in continuous conduction mode. An internal compensation circuit was designed to guarantee stability over the full input/output voltage and full output load range. Soft Start There is a sof t start function is integration in APW7077/A series to avoid the over shooting when power on. When power is applied to the device, the soft start circuit first pumps up the output voltage to let VDD(or VOUT) approximately 1.65V at a fixed duty cycle 50%. This is the voltage level at which the controller can operate normally. When supply voltage more than 1.65V the internal reference voltage will be Copyright ANPEC Electronics Corp. Rev. A.4 - Sep, 2005 Step–up Converter Operating Mode The step–up DC–DC controller is designed to operate in continuous conduction mode (CCM) or discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). For a step up converter in a CCM, the duty cycle D is 12 www.anpec.com.tw APW7077/A Function Description (Cont.) The inductor peak current can be calculated as Step–up Converter Operating Mode (Cont.) given by Ipk = V OUT − V IN D = V OUT In higher output voltage or small output current V V 2⋅L ⋅ OUT OUT − 1 TS ⋅ RLOAD VIN VIN External components values can be calculated from these equations, however, the optimized value should obtained through experimental results. L≥ APW7077/A series are designed to work well with a 6.8 to 12uH inductors in most applications 10uH is a sufficiently low value to allow the use of a small surface mount coil, but large enough to maintain low ripple. Lower inductance values supply higher output current, but also increase the ripple and reduce efficiency. Higher inductor values reduce ripple and improve efficiency, but also limit output current. The inductor should have small DCR, usually less than 1mΩ, to minimize loss. It is necessary to choose an inductor with a saturation current greater than the peak current which the inductor will encounter in the application. 2 fsw × IO × Ratio A system can be designed to operate in continuous mode for load currents above a certain level usually 20 to 50% (Ratio define as 0.2~0.5) of full load at minimum input voltage. When IO smaller than (IO*Ratio), the controller system will into DCM. ∆IL is the ripple current flowing through the inductor, which affects the output voltage ripple and core losses. Based on 20%(Ratio=0.2) current ripple, VOUT=5V, IO=1A and VIN =1.8V system, the inductance value is calculated as 6.9uH and a 6.8uH inductor is used. The inductor ripple current is important for a few reasons. One reason is because the peak switch current will be the average inductor current (IL) plus ∆IL. The inductor current ripple has an expression ∆ IL = As a side note, discontinuous operation occurs when the inductor current falls to zero during a switching cycle, or ∆I L is greater than the average inductor current. Therefore, continuous conduction mode occurs V IN × D fsw × L The maximum DC input current can be calculated as I L (max) = V OUT × I O (max) V IN (min) Copyright ANPEC Electronics Corp. Rev. A.4 - Sep, 2005 2 Inductor Selection The minimum value of inductor to maintain continuous conduction mode can be determined by the following VOUT × D(1 − D) ∆ IL capacitor Critical Inductance Value equation. V IN + NOTES: D – On–time duty cycle IL – Average inductor current IPK – Peak inductor current IO – Desired dc output current VIN – Nominal operating dc input voltage VOUT – Desired dc output voltage ESR – Equivalent series resistance of the output application, the step–up DC–DC controller operated in discontinuous conduction mode almost. For a step-up converter in a DCM, the duty cycle D is given by D= V OUT × I O 13 www.anpec.com.tw APW7077/A Function Description (Cont.) Inductor Selection (Cont.) If the regulator will be loaded uniformly, with very little load changes, and at lower current outputs, the input capacitor size can often be reduced. The size can also be reduced if the input of the regulator is very close to the source output. The size will generally need to be larger for applications where the regulator is supplying nearly the maximum rated output or if large load steps are expected. A minimum value of 10µF should be used for the less stressful conditions while a 22µF to 47µF capacitor may be required for higher power and dynamic loads. Small ESR Tantalum or ceramic capacitor should be suitable and the total input ripple voltage can be calculated when ∆IL is less than the average inductor current. Care must be taken to make sure that the switch will not reach its current limit during normal operation. The inductor must also be sized accordingly. It should have a saturation current rating higher than the peak inductor current expected. The output voltage ripple is also affected by the total ripple current. Output Capacitor The output capacitor is used for sustaining the output voltage when the external MOSFET or bipolar transistor is switched on and smoothing the ripple voltage. ∆ V IN = ∆ I L × ESR The output capacitance needed is calculated in Design Example equations. It is supposed that a step–up DC–DC controller with 3.3 V output delivering a maximum 1000 mA output current with 100 mV output ripple voltage powering from a 2.4 V input is to be designed. COUT (min) = IO(max) × D fsw × ∆VOUT The ESR is also important because it determines the peak to peak output voltage ripple according to the approximate equation: ESR = Design parameters: VIN = 2.4 V VOUT = 3.3 V IO = 1.0 A ∆VOUT = 100 mV fsw= 300 kHZ Ratio = 0.2 (typical for small output ripple voltage) ? VOUT ? IO With 1% output voltage ripple, low ESR capacitor should be used to reduce output ripple voltage. In general, a 100uF to 220uF low ESR (0.10Ω to 0.30Ω) Tantalum capacitor should be appropriate. The choice Assume the diode forward voltage and the transistor saturation voltage are both 0.3V. Determine the maximum steady state duty cycle at VIN = 2.4 V: of output capacitors is also somewhat arbitrary and depends on the design requirements for output voltage ripple. A minimum value of 10µF is recommended and may be increased to a larger value. D=0.273 Input Capacitor Calculate the maximum inductance value which can The input capacitor can stabilize the input voltage and generate the desired current output and the preferred delta inductor current to average inductor current ratio: minimize peak current ripple from the source. The size used is dependant on the application and board layout. Copyright ANPEC Electronics Corp. Rev. A.4 - Sep, 2005 L=10uH 14 www.anpec.com.tw APW7077/A Function Description (Cont.) Design Example(Cont.) Determine the output capacitance value for the desired output ripple voltage: Determine the average inductor current and peak inductor current: COUT=33uF The ESR of the output capacitor is 0.05Ω . Therefore, IL=1.38A ∆IL=0.218A Ipk=1.45A a Tantalum capacitor with value of 33 uF to 47uF and ESR of 0.05Ω can be used as the output capacitor. Therefore, a 10 uH inductor with saturation current larger than 1.73 A can be selected as the initial trial. However, according to experimental result, 220uF output capacitor gives better overall operational stability and smaller ripple voltage. External Component Selection Diode Selection External Switch Transistor The output diode for a boost regulator must be chosen correctly depending on the output voltage and the output current. The diode must be rated for a reverse voltage equal to or greater than the output voltage used. The average current rating must be greater than the maximum load current expected, and the peak current rating must be greater than the peak inductor current. During short circuit testing, or if short circuit conditions are possible in the application, the diode current rating must exceed the switch current limit. The diode is the largest source of loss in DC–DC converters. The most importance parameters which affect their efficiency are the forward voltage drop, VF, and the reverse recovery time, trr. The forward voltage drop creates a loss just by having a voltage across the device while a current flowing through it. The reverse recovery time generates a loss when the diode is reverse biased, and the current appears to actually flow backwards through the diode due to the minority carriers being swept from the P–N junction. Using Schottky diodes with lower forward voltage drop will decrease power dissipation and increase efficiency. An enhancement N–channel MOSFET or a bipolar NPN transistor can be used as the external switch transistor. Since enhancement MOSFET is a voltage driven device, it is a more efficient switch than a BJT transistor. However, the MOSFET requires a higher voltage to turn on as compared with BJT transistors. An enhancement N–channel MOSFET can be selected Copyright ANPEC Electronics Corp. Rev. A.4 - Sep, 2005 by the following guidelines: • Low ON–resistance, RDS(on). • Low gate threshold voltage, VGS(th), typically <1.5V, it is especially important for the low VOUT device, like VOUT = 2.4V. • Rated continuous drain current, ID, should be larger than the peak inductor current, i.e. ID > IPK. • Gate capacitance should be 1200 pF or less. For bipolar NPN transistor, medium power transistor with continuous collector current typically 1A to 5A and VCE(sat) < 0.2 V should be employed. The driving capability is determined by the DC current gain, HFE, of the transistor and the base resistor, Rb; and 15 www.anpec.com.tw APW7077/A External Component Selection (Cont.) transistor. Moreover, a speed–up capacitor, Cb, should be connected in parallel with Rb to reduce switching loss and improve efficiency. Cb can be calculated by the equation below: External Switch Transistor (Cont.) the controller’s EXT pin must be able to supply the necessary driving current. Rb can be calculated by the following equation: It is due to the variation in the characteristics of the transistor used. The calculated value should be used as the initial test value and the optimized value should be obtained by the experiment. Since the pulse current flows through the transistor, the exact Rb value should be finely tuned by the experiment. Generally, a small Rb value can increase the output current capability, but the efficiency will decrease due to more energy is used to drive the Layout Considerations Ground Plane Switching Noise Decoupling Capacitor One point grounding should be used for the output power return ground, the input power return ground, and the device switch ground to reduce noise. The input ground and output ground traces must be thick enough for current to flow through and for reducing ground bounce. On APW7077 fixed voltage application, a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor should be placed close to the VOUT pin and GND pin of the chip to filter the switching spikes in the output voltage monitored by the VOUT pin. Feedback Network On APW7077A application, the feedback networks should be connected directly to a dedicated analog ground plane and this ground plane must connect to the GND pin. If no analog ground plane is available then this ground must tie directly to the GND pin. The feedback network, resistors R1 and R2, should be kept Power Signal Traces Low resistance conducting paths should be used for the power carrying traces to reduce power loss so as to improve efficiency (short and thick traces for connecting the inductor L can also reduce stray inductance). Trace connections made to the inductor and schottky diode should be minimized to reduce power dissipation and increase overall efficiency. into the system. Output Capacitor Input Capacitor The output capacitor should be placed close to the output terminals to obtain better smoothing effect on the output ripple. In APW7077A high output voltage application circuit, the input voltage(VIN) is tied to chip supply pin(VDD). The input capacitor CIN in VIN must be placed close to the IC. This will reduce copper trace resistance which effects input voltage ripple of the IC. For additional close to the FB pin, and away from the inductor, to minimize copper trace connections that can inject noise The output capacitor, COUT, should also be placed close to the IC. Any copper trace connections for the COUT capacitor can increase the series resistance, which directly effects output voltage ripple and efficiency. Copyright ANPEC Electronics Corp. Rev. A.4 - Sep, 2005 input voltage filtering, a 1µF capacitor can be placed in parallel with CIN, close to the VDD pin, to shunt any high frequency noise to ground. 16 www.anpec.com.tw APW7077/A Layout Considerations (Cont.) MINIMUM RECOMMENDED FOOTPRINT FOR SURFACE MOUNTED APPLICATIONS Surface mount board layout is a critical portion of the total design. The footprint for the semiconductor packages must be the correct size to insure proper solder connection interface between the board and the package. With the correct pad geometry, the packages will self align when subjected to a solder reflow process.
