Functional Description
The AAT1126 is a high performance 600mA 1MHz monolithic step-down converter. It has been designed with the
goal of minimizing external component size and optimizing efficiency over the complete load range. Apart from
the small bypass input capacitor, only a small L-C filter is
required at the output. Typically, a 4.7μH inductor and a
10μF ceramic capacitor are recommended (see Table of
Values).
The fixed output version requires only three external
power components (CIN, COUT, and L). The adjustable version can be programmed with external feedback to any
voltage, ranging from 0.6V to the input voltage. An addi-
8
tional feed-forward capacitor can also be added to the
external feedback to provide improved transient response
(see Figure 1).
At dropout, the converter duty cycle increases to 100%
and the output voltage tracks the input voltage minus
the RDSON drop of the P-channel high-side MOSFET.
The input voltage range is 2.7V to 5.5V. The converter
efficiency has been optimized for all load conditions,
ranging from no load to heavy load.
The internal error amplifier and compensation provides
excellent transient response, load, and line regulation.
Soft start eliminates any output voltage overshoot when
the enable or the input voltage is applied.

Control Loop
The AAT1126 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. A fixed 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
fixed voltage versions, the error amplifier reference voltage is internally set to program the converter output
voltage. For the adjustable output, the error amplifier
reference is fixed at 0.6V.
down is less than 1μA. The AAT1126 provides turn-on
within 100μs (typical) of the enable input transition.
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 140°C with 15°C of hysteresis. Once an over-temperature or over-current fault
conditions is removed, the output voltage automatically
recovers.
Soft Start / Enable
Under-Voltage Lockout
Soft start limits the current surge seen at the input and
eliminates output voltage overshoot. When pulled low,
the enable input forces the AAT1126 into a low-power,
non-switching state. The total input current during shut-
Internal bias of all circuits is controlled via the VIN input.
Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) guarantees sufficient VIN
bias and proper operation of all internal circuitry prior to
activation.

Applications Information
Inductor Selection
The step-down converter uses peak current mode control
with slope compensation to maintain stability for duty
cycles greater than 50%. The output inductor value must
be selected so the inductor current down slope meets the
internal slope compensation requirements. The internal
slope compensation for the adjustable and low-voltage
fixed versions of the AAT1126 is 0.24A/μsec. This
equates to a slope compensation that is 75% of the
inductor current down slope for a 1.5V output and 4.7μH
inductor.

Input Capacitor
Select a 4.7μF to 10μF X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor for
the input. 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.
CIN =
For high-voltage fixed versions (2.5V and above), m =
0.48A/μs. Table 1 displays inductor values for the
AAT1126 fixed and adjustable options.
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.
The 4.7μH CDRH3D16 series inductor selected from
Sumida has a 105m DCR and a 900mA DC current rating. At full load, the inductor DC loss is 17mW which gives
a 2.8% loss in efficiency for a 400mA, 1.5V output.

The term VIN ⎝ VIN ⎠ appears in both the input voltage
ripple and input capacitor RMS current equations and is
a 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.
Figure 2: AAT1126 Evaluation Board
Top Side.
The input capacitor provides a low impedance loop for
the edges of pulsed current drawn by the AAT1126. 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 (C2) can be
seen in the evaluation board layout in Figure 2.

DATA SHEET
AAT1126
600mA, 1MHz Step-Down Converter
A laboratory test set-up 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 low-ESR 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
The output capacitor limits the output ripple and provides holdup during large load transitions. A 22μF X5R or
X7R ceramic capacitor 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 equa-
12
tion establishes a limit on the minimum value for the
output capacitor with respect to load transients.
The internal voltage loop compensation limits the minimum output capacitor value to 10μF. 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.
Adjustable Output Resistor Selection
For applications requiring an adjustable output voltage,
the 0.6V version can be externally programmed. Resistors
R1 and R2 of Figure 5 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 R2 is 59k. 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 2 summarizes the resistor values for various output voltages with
R2 set to either 59k for good noise immunity or 221k
for reduced no load input current.

The adjustable version of the AAT1126, combined with
an external feedforward capacitor (C4 in Figure 1),
delivers enhanced transient response for extreme pulsed
load applications. The addition of the feedforward capacitor typically requires a larger output capacitor C1 for
stability.

VIN
+ (tsw · F · IO + IQ) · VIN
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
Table 2: Adjustable Resistor Values For Use With
0.6V Step-Down Converter.
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.
Thermal Calculations
Given the total losses, the maximum junction temperature can be derived from the JA for the SOT23-5 package which is 150°C/W.
There are three types of losses associated with the
AAT1126 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:
TJ(MAX) = PTOTAL · ΘJA + TAMB

Layout
3.
The suggested PCB layout for the AAT1126 is shown in
Figures 2, 3, and 4. The following guidelines should be
used to help ensure a proper layout.
1.
2.
14
The input capacitor (C2) should connect as closely as
possible to VIN (Pin 3) and GND (Pin 1).
C1 and L1 should be connected as closely as possible. The connection of L1 to the LX pin should be as
short as possible.
4.
The feedback trace or OUT pin (Pin 4) 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. If external feedback resistors are used, they
should be placed as closely as possible to the OUT
pin (Pin 4) to minimize the length of the high impedance feedback trace.
The resistance of the trace from the load return to
GND (Pin 1) should be kept to a minimum. This will
help to minimize any error in DC regulation due to
differences in the potential of the load return and the
AAT1126 ground.
