AAT1106
600mA Step-Down Converter
General Description
Features
The AAT1106 is a 1.5MHz constant frequency current
mode PWM step-down SwitchReg™ converter with a
unique adaptive slope compensation scheme allowing
the device to operate with a lower range of inductor values to optimize size and provide efficient operation. It is
ideal for portable equipment powered by single-cell
Lithium-ion batteries and is optimized for high efficiency,
achieving levels up to 96%.

•
The AAT1106 can supply up to 600mA load current from
a 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage and the output voltage can
be regulated as low as 0.6V. The device also can run at
100% duty cycle for low dropout operation, extending
battery life in portable systems. In addition, light load
operation provides very low output ripple for noise sensitive applications and the 1.5MHz switching frequency
minimizes the size of external components while keeping
switching losses low.
The AAT1106 is available in a Pb-free, low-profile 5-pin
TSOT23 package, and is rated over the -40°C to +85°C
temperature range.

Functional Description
The AAT1106 is a high performance 600mA, 1.5MHz fixed
frequency monolithic switch-mode step-down converter
which uses a current mode architecture with an adaptive
slope compensation scheme. It minimizes external component size and optimizes efficiency over the complete
load range. The adaptive slope compensation allows the
device to remain stable over a wider range of inductor
values so that smaller values (1μH to 4.7μH) with associated lower DCR can be used to achieve higher efficiency.
Apart from the small bypass input capacitor, only a small
L-C filter is required at the output. The AAT1106 can be
programmed with external feedback to any voltage,
ranging from 0.6V to the input voltage. It uses internal
MOSFETs to achieve high efficiency and can generate
very low output voltage by using an internal reference of
0.6V. At dropout, the converter duty cycle increases to
100% and the output voltage tracks the input voltage
minus the low RDS(ON) drop of the P-channel high-side
MOSFET. The input voltage range is 2.5V to 5.5V. The
converter efficiency has been optimized for all load condi-
tions, ranging from no load to 600mA at VIN = 3V. The
internal error amplifier and compensation provides excellent transient response, load, and line regulation.
Current Mode PWM Control
Slope compensated current mode PWM control provides
stable switching and cycle-by-cycle current limit for
excellent load and line response and protection of the
internal main switch (P-channel MOSFET) and synchronous rectifier (N-channel MOSFET). During normal
operation, the internal P-channel MOSFET is turned on
for a specified time to ramp the inductor current at each
rising edge of the internal oscillator, and is switched off
when the feedback voltage is above the 0.6V reference
voltage. The current comparator, ICOMP, limits the peak
inductor current. When the main switch is off, the synchronous rectifier turns on immediately and stays on
until either the inductor current starts to reverse, as
indicated by the current reversal comparator, IZERO, or
the beginning of the next clock cycle.

DATA SHEET
AAT1106
600mA Step-Down Converter
Control Loop
Dropout Operation
The AAT1106 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 short
circuit and overload protection. An adaptive 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. 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. For the
adjustable output, the error amplifier reference is fixed
at 0.6V.
When the input voltage decreases toward the value of
the output voltage, the AAT1106 allows the main switch
to remain on for more than one switching cycle and
increases the duty cycle until it reaches 100%.
Enable
The enable pin is active high. When pulled low, the
enable input forces the AAT1106 into a low-power, nonswitching state. The total input current during shutdown
is less than 1μA.
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. Thermal protection completely disables switching when internal dissipation becomes excessive. The junction over-temperature
threshold is 150°C with 15°C of hysteresis. Once an
over-temperature or over-current fault conditions is
removed, the output voltage automatically recovers.
10
The duty cycle D of a step-down converter is defined as:
D = TON · FOSC · 100% ≈
VOUT
· 100%
VIN
Where TON is the main switch on time and FOSC is the
oscillator frequency (1.5MHz).
The output voltage then is the input voltage minus the
voltage drop across the main switch and the inductor. At
low input supply voltage, the RDS(ON) of the P-channel
MOSFET increases and the efficiency of the converter
decreases. Caution must be exercised to ensure the heat
dissipated does not exceed the maximum junction temperature of the IC.
Maximum Load Current
The AAT1106 will operate with an input supply voltage
as low as 2.5V; however, the maximum load current
decreases at lower input due to the large IR drop on the
main switch and synchronous rectifier. The slope compensation signal reduces the peak inductor current as a
function of the duty cycle to prevent sub-harmonic oscillations at duty cycles greater than 50%. Conversely, the
current limit increases as the duty cycle decreases.

Figure 1: Basic Application Circuit
Setting the Output Voltage
For applications requiring an adjustable output voltage,
the AAT1106-0.6 can be externally programmed.
Resistors R1 and R2 of Figure 2 program the output to
regulate at a voltage higher than 0.6V. To limit the bias
current required for the external feedback resistor string
while maintaining good noise immunity, the minimum
suggested value for R1 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 R1 set to either 59kΩ for good noise immunity or
316kΩ for reduced no load input current.
The AAT1106, combined with an external feed forward
capacitor (C2 in Figure 2), delivers enhanced transient
response for extreme pulsed load applications. The addition of the feed forward capacitor typically requires a
larger output capacitor C3 for stability. The external
resistor sets the output voltage according to the following equation:

Inductor Selection
For most designs, the AAT1106 operates with inductor
values of 1μH to 4.7μH. Low inductance values are
physically smaller, but require faster switching, which
results in some efficiency loss. The inductor value can be
derived from the following equation:
L=
VOUT · (VIN - VOUT)
VIN · ∆IL · fOSC
Where IL is inductor ripple current. Large value inductors lower ripple current and small value inductors result
in high ripple currents. Choose inductor ripple current
approximately 35% of the maximum load current
600mA, or IL = 210mA.

for duty cycles greater than 50%. Using lower value
inductors provides better overall efficiency and also
makes it easier to standardize on one inductor for different required output voltage levels. In order to do this
and keep the step-down converter stable when the duty
cycle is greater than 50%, the AAT1106 separates the
slope compensation into 2 phases. The required slope
compensation is automatically detected by an internal
circuit using the feedback voltage VFB before the error
amp comparison to VREF.

Table 2: Typical Surface Mount Inductors.
For output voltages above 2.0V, when light-load efficiency is important, the minimum recommended inductor size is 2.2μH. For optimum voltage-positioning load
transients, choose an inductor with DC series resistance
in the 50m to 150m range. For higher efficiency at
heavy loads (above 200mA), or minimal load regulation
(with some transient overshoot), the resistance should
be kept below 100m. The DC current rating of the
inductor should be at least equal to the maximum load
current plus half the ripple current to prevent core saturation (600mA + 105mA). Table 2 lists some typical
surface mount inductors that meet target applications
for the AAT1106.
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. For example, the 2.2μH CR43 series inductor selected from Sumida has a 71.2mΩ DCR and a
1.75ADC current rating. At full load, the inductor DC loss
is 25mW which gives a 2.8% loss in efficiency for a
600mA, 1.5V output.
Slope Compensation
The AAT1106 step-down converter uses peak current
mode control with a unique adaptive slope compensation
scheme to maintain stability with lower value inductors
12
When below 50% duty cycle, the slope compensation is
0.284A/μs; but when above 50% duty cycle, the slope
compensation is set to 1.136A/μs. The output inductor
value must be selected so the inductor current down slope
meets the internal slope compensation requirements.
Below 50% duty cycle, the slope compensation requirement is:
m=
1.25
= 0.284A/µs
2·L
Therefore:
L =
0.625
= 2.2µH
m
Above 50% duty cycle,
m=
5
= 1.136A/µs
2·L
Therefore:
L =

= 2.2µH

With these adaptive settings, a 2.2μH inductor can be
used for all output voltages from 0.6V to 5V.

Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor reduces the surge current drawn
from the input and switching noise from the device. The
input capacitor impedance at the switching frequency
shall be less than the input source impedance to prevent
high frequency switching current passing to the input. A
low ESR input capacitor sized for maximum RMS current
must be used. Ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R
dielectrics are highly recommended because of their low
ESR and small temperature coefficients. A 4.7μF ceramic capacitor is sufficient for most applications.
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.

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.

The term VIN ⎝ VIN ⎠ appears in both the input voltage
ripple and input capacitor RMS current equations and is
at maximum when VO is twice VIN. This is why the input
voltage ripple and the input capacitor RMS current ripple
are a maximum at 50% duty cycle. The input capacitor
provides a low impedance loop for the edges of pulsed
current drawn by the AAT1106. 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 Figure 2. A laboratory test setup 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 lowESR 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. 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. This
dampens the high Q network and stabilizes the system.
Output Capacitor Selection
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:

The output capacitor is required to keep the output voltage ripple small and to ensure regulation loop stability.
The output capacitor must have low impedance at the
switching frequency. Ceramic capacitors with X5R or
X7R dielectrics are recommended due to their low ESR
and high ripple current. The output ripple VOUT is determined by:

AAT1106
600mA Step-Down Converter
10μF 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:
COUT =
3 · ΔILOAD
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 4.7μF. 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.
The maximum output capacitor RMS ripple current is
given by:
IRMS(MAX) =
1
VOUT · (VIN(MAX) - VOUT)
L · F · VIN(MAX)
2· 3
·
Dissipation due to the RMS current in the ceramic output
capacitor ESR is typically minimal, resulting in less than
a few degrees rise in hot-spot temperature.
IQ is the step-down converter quiescent current. The
term tsw is used to estimate the full load step-down converter switching losses.
For the condition where the step-down converter is in
dropout at 100% duty cycle, the total device dissipation
reduces to:
PTOTAL = IO2 · RDSON(HS) + IQ · VIN
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 JA for the TSOT23-5 package which is
150°C/W.
TJ(MAX) = PTOTAL · ΘJA + TA
Layout Guidance
When laying out the PC board, the following steps should
be taken to ensure proper operation of the AAT1106.
These items are also illustrated graphically in Figure 3.

Thermal Calculations
There are three types of losses associated with the
AAT1106 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 =
5.
The power traces (GND, LX, IN) should be kept short,
direct, and wide to allow large current flow. Place sufficient multiple-layer pads when needed to change
the trace layer.
The input capacitor (C1) should connect as closely as
possible to IN (Pin 4) and GND (Pin 2).
The output capacitor C3 and L1 should be connected
as closely as possible. The connection of L1 to the LX
pin should be as short as possible and there should
not be any signal lines under the inductor.
The feedback FB trace (Pin 5) 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
external feedback resistors should be placed as close
as possible to the FB pin (Pin 5) to minimize the
length of the high impedance feedback trace.
The resistance of the trace from the load return to
the GND (Pin 2) 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.

Evaluation Board Description
The AAT1106 evaluation board contains a fully tested
600mA, 1.5MHz Step-Down DC/DC Regulator. The circuit
has an input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and four preset selectable outputs (1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V and 2.5V).
The AAT1106 comes in a small 5-pin TSOT23 package
and the board has been optimized to fit small form factor
designs. An optional TVS (SM6T6V8A) is connected
between VIN and GND so that the evaluation board can
be used in a hot-plug application. These features, plus
the nominal operating frequency of 1.5MHz allowing the
use of low profile surface mount components, make the
AAT1106 evaluation board an ideal circuit for use in
battery-powered, hand-held applications.
A schematic of the complete circuit is shown in Figure 3.
The evaluation board layer details are provided in
Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7. Table 3 provides the component
list for the AAT1106 evaluation board.
