DS8299-01 May 2012 RT8299 Application Information The RT8299 is a synchronous high voltage buck converter that can support the input voltage range from 3V to 24V and the output current can be up to 3A. Output Voltage Setting The resistive divider allows the FB pin to sense the output voltage as shown in Figure 1. VOUT R1 FB RT8299 R2 GND Figure 1. Output Voltage Setting Chip Enable Operation The EN pin is the chip enable input. Pulling the EN pin low (<0.4V) will shutdown the device. During shutdown mode, the RT8299 quiescent current drops to lower than 3μA. Driving the EN pin high (>2V, < 5.5V) will turn on the device again. For external timing control (e.g.RC), the EN pin can also be externally pulled high by adding a REN* resistor and CEN* capacitor from the VIN pin (see Figure 5). An external MOSFET can be added to implement digital control on the EN pin when no system voltage above 2.5V is available, as shown in Figure 3. In this case, a 100kΩ pull-up resistor, REN, is connected between VIN and the EN pin. MOSFET Q1 will be under logic control to pull down the EN pin. The output voltage is set by an external resistive voltage divider according to the following equation : VOUT = VFB ⎛⎜ 1+ R1 ⎞⎟ ⎝ R2 ⎠ BOOT VIN VIN REN 100k CIN CBOOT RT8299 Chip Enable SW EN R1 Q1 where VFB is the feedback reference voltage (0.8V typ.). GND External Bootstrap Diode It is recommended to add an external bootstrap diode between an external 5V and BOOT pin for efficiency improvement when input voltage is lower than 5.5V or duty ratio is higher than 65% .The bootstrap diode can be a low cost one such as IN4148 or BAT54. The external 5V can be a 5V fixed input from system or a 5V output of the RT8299. Note that the external boot voltage must be lower than 5.5V 5V PGOOD R 100k R2 VCC Figure 3. Enable Control Circuit for Logic Control with Low Voltage To prevent enabling circuit when VIN is smaller than the VOUT target value, a resistive voltage divider can be placed between the input voltage and ground and connected to the EN pin to adjust IC lockout threshold, as shown in Figure 4. For example, if an 8V output voltage is regulated from a 12V input voltage, the resistor REN2 can be selected to set input lockout threshold larger than 8V.

When the FB voltage drops below half of the feedback reference voltage, VFB, the UVP function will be triggered and the RT8299 will shut down for a period of time and then recover automatically. The Hiccup Mode UVP can reduce input current in short-circuit conditions. Inductor Selection The inductor value and operating frequency determine the ripple current according to a specific input and output voltage. The ripple current ΔIL increases with higher VIN and decreases with higher inductance. V V ΔIL = ⎡⎢ OUT ⎤⎥ × ⎡⎢1− OUT ⎤⎥ f × L VIN ⎦ ⎣ ⎦ ⎣ Having a lower ripple current reduces not only the ESR losses in the output capacitors but also the output voltage ripple. High frequency with small ripple current can achieve highest efficiency operation. However, it requires a large inductor to achieve this goal. For the ripple current selection, the value of ΔIL = 0.24(IMAX) will be a reasonable starting point. The largest ripple current occurs at the highest VIN. To guarantee that the ripple current stays below the specified maximum, the inductor value should be chosen according to the following equation : ⎡ VOUT ⎤ ⎡ VOUT ⎤ L =⎢ ⎥ × ⎢1 − VIN(MAX) ⎥ f I × Δ L(MAX) ⎣ ⎦ ⎣ ⎦ V IRMS = IOUT(MAX) OUT VIN VIN −1 VOUT This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where IRMS = IOUT / 2. This simple worst case condition is commonly used for design because even significant deviations do not offer much relief. Choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than required. Several capacitors may also be paralleled to meet size or height requirements in the design. For the input capacitor, two 10μF low ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended. The selection of COUT is determined by the required ESR to minimize voltage ripple. Moreover, the amount of bulk capacitance is also a key for COUT selection to ensure that the control loop is stable. Loop stability can be checked by viewing the load transient response as described in a later section. The output ripple, ΔVOUT , is determined by : 1 ⎤ ΔVOUT ≤ ΔIL ⎡⎢ESR + 8fCOUT ⎦⎥ ⎣ The output ripple will be highest at the maximum input The inductor's current rating (caused a 40°C temperature rising from 25°C ambient) should be greater than the maximum load current and its saturation current should be greater than the short circuit peak current limit. Please see Table 2 for the inductor selection reference. Table 2.

All rights reserved. www.richtek.com 10 The input capacitance, C IN, is needed to filter the trapezoidal current at the source of the high side MOSFET. To prevent large ripple current, a low ESR input capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current should be used. The RMS current is given by : voltage since ΔIL increases with input voltage. Multiple capacitors placed in parallel may be needed to meet the ESR and RMS current handling requirement. Dry tantalum, special polymer, aluminum electrolytic and ceramic capacitors are all available in surface mount packages. Special polymer capacitors offer very low ESR value. However, it provides lower capacitance density than other types. Although Tantalum capacitors have the highest capacitance density, it is important to only use types that pass the surge test for use in switching power supplies. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors have significantly higher ESR. However, it can be used in cost-sensitive applications is a registered trademark of Richtek Technology Corporation. DS8299-01 May 2012 RT8299 for ripple current rating and long term reliability considerations. Ceramic capacitors have excellent low ESR characteristics but can have a high voltage coefficient and audible piezoelectric effects. The high Q of ceramic capacitors with trace inductance can also lead to significant ringing. a load step occurs, VOUT immediately shifts by an amount equal to ΔILOAD (ESR) also begins to charge or discharge COUT generating a feedback error signal for the regulator to return VOUT to its steady-state value. During this recovery time, VOUT can be monitored for overshoot or ringing that would indicate a stability problem. 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 input and output. When a ceramic capacitor is used at the input and the power is supplied by a wall adapter through long wires, a load step at the output can induce ringing at the input, VIN. 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. EMI Consideration Since parasitic inductance and capacitance effects in PCB circuitry would cause a spike voltage on SW pin when high side MOSFET is turned-on/off, this spike voltage on SW may impact on EMI performance in the system. In order to enhance EMI performance, there are two methods to suppress the spike voltage. One is to place an R-C snubber between SW and GND and make them as close as possible to the SW pin (see Figure 5). Another method is adding a resistor RBOOT* in series with the bootstrap capacitor, CBOOT. But this method will decrease the driving capability to the high side MOSFET. It is strongly recommended to reserve the R-C snubber during PCB layout for EMI improvement. Moreover, reducing the SW trace area and keeping the main power in a small loop will be helpful on EMI performance. For detailed PCB layout guide, please refer to the section of Layout Consideration. Checking Transient Response The regulator loop response can be checked by looking at the load transient response. Switching regulators take several cycles to respond to a step in load current.

The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow and temperature difference between junction to ambient. The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by following formula : PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA ) / θJA Where T J(MAX) is the maximum operation junction temperature , TA is the ambient temperature and the θJA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. 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) package, the thermal resistance, θJA, is 75°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal test board. For WDFN-10L 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 : PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (75°C/W) = 1.333W for SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (70°C/W) = 1.429W for WDFN-10L 3x3 package The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 6 allow the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature on the maximum power dissipation. Copyright © 2012 Richtek Technology Corporation.
