DS8064-07 November 2012 RT8064 Application Information The basic IC application circuit is shown in Typical Application Circuit. External component selection is determined by the maximum load current and begins with the selection of the inductor value and operating frequency followed by CIN and COUT. Main Control Loop During normal operation, the internal upper power switch (P-MOSFET) is turned on at the beginning of each clock cycle. Current in the inductor increases until the peak inductor current reaches the value defined by the output voltage (VCOMP) of the error amplifier. The error amplifier adjusts its output voltage by comparing the feedback signal from a resistive voltage divider on the FB pin with an internal 0.8V reference. When the load current increases, it causes a reduction in the feedback voltage relative to the reference. The error amplifier increases its output voltage until the average inductor current matches the new load current. When the upper power MOSFET shuts off, the lower synchronous power switch (N-MOSFET) turns on until the beginning of the next clock cycle. Output Voltage Setting The output voltage is set by an external resistive voltage divider according to the following equation : VOUT = VREF × ⎛⎜ 1 + R1 ⎞⎟ R2 ⎠ ⎝ where VREF equals to 0.8V typical. The resistive voltage divider allows the FB pin to sense a fraction of the output voltage as shown in Figure 1. VOUT R1 FB RT8064 R2 Soft-Start The IC contains an external soft-start clamp that gradually raises the output voltage. The soft-start timing is programmed by the external capacitor between SS pin and GND. The chip provides an internal 10μA charge current for the external capacitor. If 10nF capacitor is used to set the soft-start, the period will be 800μs (typ.). Power Good Output The power good output is an open-drain output and requires a pull up resistor. When the output voltage is 12.5% above or 12.5% below its set voltage, PGOOD will be pulled low. It is held low until the output voltage returns to within the allowed tolerances once more. During soft-start, PGOOD is actively held low and is only allowed to transition high when soft-start is over and the output voltage reaches 87.5% of its set voltage. Operating Frequency Selection of the operating frequency is a tradeoff between efficiency and component size. Higher frequency operation allows the use of smaller inductor and capacitor values. Lower frequency operation improves efficiency by reducing internal gate charge and switching losses but requires larger inductance and/or capacitance to maintain low output ripple voltage. The operating frequency of the IC is determined by an external resistor, ROSC, that is connected between the RT pin and ground. The value of the resistor sets the ramp current that is used to charge and discharge an internal timing capacitor within the oscillator. The practical switching frequency ranges from 200kHz to 2MHz. However, when the RT pin is floating, the internal frequency is set at 2MHz. Determine the RT resistor value by examining the curve below. Please notice the minimum on time is about 90ns.

At best, this ringing can couple to the output and be mistaken as loop instability. At worst, a sudden inrush of current through the long wires can potentially cause a voltage spike at VIN large enough to damage the part. 2.0 1.6 1.2 0.8 Slope Compensation and Peak Inductor Current 0.4 0.0 0 300 600 900 1200 1500 1800 2100 RRT (kΩ) Figure 2. Switching Frequency vs. RT Resistor Inductor Selection For a given input and output voltage, the inductor value and operating frequency determine the ripple current. The ripple current, ΔIL, increases with higher VIN and decreases with higher inductance. V V ΔIL = ⎛⎜ OUT ⎞⎟ × ⎛⎜ 1− OUT ⎞⎟ f x L VIN ⎠ ⎝ ⎠ ⎝ Having a lower ripple current reduces not only the ESR losses in the output capacitors but also the output voltage ripple. Highest efficiency operation is achieved by reducing ripple current at low frequency, but attaining this goal requires a large inductor. For the ripple current selection, the value of ΔIL = 0.4 (IMAX) is a reasonable starting point. The largest ripple current occurs at the highest VIN. To guarantee that the ripple current stays below a specified maximum value, the inductor value needs to be chosen according to the following equation : ⎡ VOUT ⎤ ⎡ VOUT ⎤ L= ⎢ ⎥ × ⎢1 − VIN(MAX) ⎥ f x I Δ L(MAX) ⎣ ⎦ ⎣ ⎦ Slope compensation provides stability in constant frequency architectures by preventing sub-harmonic oscillations at duty cycles greater than 50%. It is accomplished internally by adding a compensating ramp to the inductor current signal. Normally, the peak inductor current is reduced when slope compensation is added. For the IC, however, separated inductor current signal is used to monitor over current condition, so the maximum output current stays relatively constant regardless of the duty cycle. Hiccup Mode Under Voltage Protection A Hiccup Mode Under Voltage Protection (UVP) function is provided for the IC. When the FB voltage drops below half of the feedback reference voltage, VFB, the UVP function is triggered to auto soft-start the power stage until this event is cleared. The Hiccup Mode UVP reduces the input current in short circuit conditions, but will not be triggered during soft-start process. Under Voltage Lockout Threshold The RT8064 includes an input under voltage lockout protection (UVLO) function. If the input voltage exceeds the UVLO rising threshold voltage, the converter will reset and prepare the PWM for operation. However, if the input voltage falls below the UVLO falling threshold voltage during normal operation, the device will stop switching. The UVLO rising and falling threshold voltage has a hysteresis to prevent noise caused reset. Using Ceramic Input and Output Capacitors Higher values, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now becoming available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple current, high voltage rating and low ESR make them ideal for switching regulator applications. However, care must be taken when these capacitors are used at the input and output.

The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and difference between junction and ambient temperature. The is a registered trademark of Richtek Technology Corporation. DS8064-07 November 2012 RT8064 maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the following formula : PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA Layout Considerations Follow the PCB layout guidelines for optimal performance of the IC. where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. ` Connect the terminal of the input capacitor (s), CIN, as close to the VIN pin as possible. This capacitor provides the AC current into the internal power MOSFETs. For recommended operating condition specifications, the maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) packages, the thermal resistance, θJA, is 75°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal test board. For WDFN-8L 3x3 packages, the thermal resistance, θJA, is 70°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by the following formulas : ` LX node experiences high frequency voltage swings so should be kept within a small area. ` Keep all sensitive small signal nodes away from the LX node to prevent stray capacitive noise pick up. ` Connect the FB pin directly to the feedback resistors. The resistive voltage divider must be connected between VOUT and GND. Place the feedback resistors as close to the IC as possible Place the compensation components as close to the IC as possible PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (75°C/W) = 1.333W for SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package GND R2 CCOMP PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (70°C/W) = 1.429W for WDFN-8L 3x3 package 1.5 1.4 1.3 1.2 1.1 1.0 0.9 0.8 0.7 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.0 Four-Layer PCB RCOMP SS EN CSS VIN GND 8 2 7 GND 3 6 9 4 5 CIN PGOOD R1 FB RT L1 VOUT VIN VOUT GND ROSC LX should be connected to inductor by wide and short trace, and keep sensitive components away from this trace LX COUT Place the input and output capacitors as close to the IC as possible Place the feedback resistors as close to the IC as possible Place the compensation components as close to the IC as possible GND WDFN-8L 3x3 R2 CCOMP RCOMP SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) CSS GND CIN VIN COMP SS EN 1 VIN 4 2 3 8 GND Maximum Power Dissipation (W)1 The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal resistance, θJA.
