The LM2853 is a DC-DC buck regulator belonging to National Semiconductor’s synchronous SIMPLE SWITCHER ® family. Integration of the PWM controller, power switches and compensation network greatly reduces the component count required to implement a switching power supply. A typical application requires only four components: an input capacitor, a soft-start capacitor, an output filter capacitor and an output filter inductor. SOFT-START CAPACITOR (CSS) The DAC that sets the reference voltage of the error amplifier sources a current through a resistor to set the reference voltage. The reference voltage is one half of the output voltage of the switcher due to the 200 kΩ divider connected to the SNS pin. Upon start-up, the output voltage of the switcher tracks the reference voltage with a two to one ratio as the DAC current charges the capacitance connected to the reference voltage node. Internal capacitance of 20 pF is permanently attached to the reference voltage node which is also connected to the soft start pin, SS. Adding a soft-start capacitor externally increases the time it takes for the output voltage to reach its final level. The charging time required for the reference voltage can be estimated using the RC time constant of the DAC resistor and the capacitance connected to the SS pin. Three RC time constant periods are needed for the reference voltage to reach 95% of its final value. The actual start up time will vary with differences in the DAC resistance and higher-order effects. If little or no soft-start capacitance is connected, then the start up time may be determined by the time required for the current limit current to charge the output filter capacitance. The capacitor charging equation I = C∆V/∆t can be used to estimate the start-up time in this case. For example, a part with a 3V output, a 100 µF output capacitance and a 5A current limit threshold would require a time of 60 µs: INPUT CAPACITOR (CIN) Fast switching of large currents in the buck converter places a heavy demand on the voltage source supplying PVIN. The input capacitor, CIN, supplies extra charge when the switcher needs to draw a burst of current from the supply. The RMS current rating and the voltage rating of the CIN capacitor are therefore important in the selection of CIN. The RMS current specification can be approximated by: where D is the duty cycle, VOUT/VIN. CIN also provides filtering of the supply. Trace resistance and inductance degrade the benefits of the input capacitor, so CIN should be placed very close to PVIN in the layout. A 22 µF or 47 µF ceramic capacitor is typically sufficient for CIN. In parallel with the large input capacitance a smaller capacitor should be added such as a 1 µF ceramic for higher frequency filtering. Ceramic capacitors with high quality dielectrics such as X5R or X7R should be used to provide a constant capacitance across temperature and line variations. For improved 7 www.national.com LM2853 Applications Information voltage the output reached during the short circuit event. The range of soft-start capacitors is therefore restricted to values 1 nF to 50 nF. (Continued) COMPENSATION The LM2853 provides a highly integrated solution to power supply design. The compensation of the LM2853, which is type-three, is included on-chip. The benefit of integrated compensation is straight-forward, simple power supply design. Since the output filter capacitor and inductor values impact the compensation of the control loop, the range of LO, CO and CESR values is restricted in order to ensure stability. Since it is undesirable for the power supply to start up in current limit, a soft-start capacitor must be chosen to force the LM2853 to start up in a more controlled fashion based on the charging of the soft-start capacitance. In this example, suppose a 3 ms start time is desired. Three time constants are required for charging the soft-start capacitor to 95% of the final reference voltage. So in this case RC = 1 ms. The DAC resistor, R, is 450 kΩ so C can be calculated to be 2.2 nF. A 2.2 nF ceramic capacitor can be chosen to yield approximately a 3 ms start-up time. OUTPUT FILTER VALUES Table 1 details the recommended inductor and capacitor ranges for the LM2853 that are suggested for various typical output voltages. Values slightly different than those recommended may be used, however the phase margin of the power supply may be degraded. For best performance when output voltage ripple is a concern, ESR values near the minimum of the recommended range should be paired with capacitance values near the maximum. If a minimum output voltage ripple solution from a 5V input voltage is desired, a 6.8 µH inductor can be paired with a 220 µF (50 mΩ) capacitor without degraded phase margin. SOFT-START CAPACITOR (CSS) AND FAULT CONDITIONS Various fault conditions such as short circuit and UVLO of the LM2853 activate internal circuitry designed to control the voltage on the soft-start capacitor. For example, during a short circuit current limit event, the output voltage typically falls to a low voltage. During this time, the soft-start voltage is forced to track the output so that once the short is removed, the LM2853 can restart gracefully from whatever TABLE 1.

As shown in the ripple equation, the current ripple is inversely proportional to inductance. OUTPUT FILTER INDUCTORS Once the inductance value is chosen, the key parameter for selecting the output filter inductor is its saturation current (ISAT) specification. Typically ISAT is given by the manufacturer as the current at which the inductance of the coil falls to a certain percentage of the nominal inductance. The ISAT of an inductor used in an application should be greater than the maximum expected inductor current to avoid saturation. Below is a table of inductors that are suitable in LM2853 applications. where ∆IL is the peak to peak current ripple, D is the duty cycle VOUT/VIN, VIN is the input voltage applied to the output stage, VOUT is the output voltage of the switcher, f is the switching frequency and LO is the inductance of the output filter inductor. Knowing the current ripple is important for inductor selection since the peak current through the inductor is the load current plus one half the ripple current. Care must be taken to ensure the peak inductor current does not reach a level high enough to trip the current limit circuitry of the LM2853. As an example, consider a 5V to 1.2V conversion and a 550 kHz switching frequency. According to Table 1, a 4.7 µH inductor may be used. Calculating the expected peak-to-peak ripple, TABLE 2.

SPLIT-RAIL OPERATION The LM2853 can be powered using two separate voltages for AVIN and PVIN. AVIN is the supply for the control logic; PVIN is the supply for the power FETs. The output filter 20201513 SWITCH NODE PROTECTION The LM2853 includes protection circuitry that monitors the voltage on the switch pin. Under certain fault conditions, switching is disabled in order to protect the switching devices. One side effect of the protection circuitry may be observed when power to the LM2853 is applied with no or light load on the output. The output will regulate to the rated voltage, but no switching may be observed. As soon as the output is loaded, the LM2853 will begin normal switching operation. tween all ground connections. 3. The sense pin connection should be made as close to the load as possible so that the voltage at the load is the expected regulated value. The sense line should not run too close to nodes with high dV/dt or dl/dt (such as the switch node) to minimize interference. 4. The switch node connections should be low resistance to reduce power losses. Low resistance means the trace between the switch pin and the inductor should be wide. However, the area of the switch node should not be too large since EMI increases with greater area. So connect the inductor to the switch pin with a short, but wide trace. Other high current connections in the application such as PVIN and VOUT assume the same trade off between low resistance and EMI. 5. Allow area under the chip to solder the entire exposed die attach pad to ground for improved thermal performance. Lab measurements also show improved regulation performance when the exposed pad is well grounded. LAYOUT GUIDELINES These are several guidelines to follow while designing the PCB layout for an LM2853 application. 1. The input bulk capacitor, CIN, should be placed very close to the PVIN pin to keep the resistance as low as possible between the capacitor and the pin. High current levels will be present in this connection. 2. All ground connections must be tied together. Use a broad ground plane, for example a completely filled back plane, to establish the lowest resistance possible be- LM2853 Example Circuit Schematic 20201514 FIGURE 1. www.national.com 10 LM2853 LM2853 Example Circuit Schematic (Continued) Bill of Materials for 5V to 3.3V Conversion ID Part Number Type Size Parameters Qty U1 LM2853MH-3.3 3A Buck ETSSOP-14 3.3V 1 Vendor NSC CIN GRM31CR60J476ME19 Capacitor 1206 47 µF 1 Murata CBYP GRM21BR71C105KA01 Capacitor 0805 1 µF 1 Murata CSS VJ0805Y222KXXA Capacitor 0603 2.2 nF 1 Vishay-Vitramon LO DO3316P-682 Inductor DO3316P 6.8 µH 1 Coilcraft CO 594D127X06R3C2T Capacitor C Case 120µF (85mΩ) 1 Vishay-Sprague Bill of Materials for 3.3V to 1.2V Conversion ID Part Number Type Size Parameters Qty Vendor U1 LM2853MH-1.2 3A Buck ETSSOP-14 1.2V 1 NSC Murata CIN GRM31CR60J476ME19 Capacitor 1206 47 µF 1 CBYP GRM21BR71C105KA01 Capacitor 0805 1 µF 1 Murata CSS VJ0805Y222KXXA Capacitor 0603 2.2 nF 1 Vishay-Vitramon LO DO3316P-472 Inductor DO3316P 4.7 µH 1 Coilcraft CO NOSD157M006R0070 Capacitor D Case 150 µF (70 mΩ) 1 AVX 11 www.national.com LM2853 3A 550 kHz Synchronous SIMPLE SWITCHER ® Buck Regulator Physical Dimensions inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted 14-Lead ETSSOP Package NS Package Number MXA14A National does not assume any responsibility for use of any circuitry described, no circuit patent licenses are implied and National reserves the right at any time without notice to change said circuitry and specifications.
