ACT4050 Active-Semi Rev 2, 01-Jul-11 FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION As seen in Functional Block Diagram, the ACT4050 is a current mode pulse width modulation (PWM) converter. The converter operates as follows: A switching cycle starts when the rising edge of the Oscillator clock output causes the High-Side Power Switch to turn on and the Low-Side Power Switch to turn off. With the SW side of the inductor now connected to IN, the inductor current ramps up to store energy in the magnetic field. The inductor current level is measured by the Current Sense Amplifier and added to the Oscillator ramp signal. If the resulting summation is higher than the COMP voltage, the output of the PWM Comparator goes high. When this happens or when Oscillator clock output goes low, the High-Side Power Switch turns off and the Low-Side Power Switch turns on. At this point, the SW side of the inductor swings to a diode voltage below ground, causing the inductor current to decrease and magnetic energy to be transferred to output. This state continues until the cycle starts again. The High-Side Power Switch is driven by logic using BS as the positive rail. This pin is charged to VSW + 6V when the Low-Side Power Switch turns on. The COMP voltage is the integration of the error between FB input and the internal 0.817V reference. If FB is lower than the reference voltage, Innovative PowerTM COMP tends to go higher to increase current to the output. Current limit happens when COMP reaches its maximum clamp value of 2.15V. The Oscillator normally switches at 400kHz. However, if FB voltage is less than 0.7V, then the switching frequency decreases until it reaches a typical value of 60kHz at VFB = 0.5V. Shutdown Control The ACT4050 EN pin contains a precision 1.1V comparator with 100mV hysteresis, as well as a 2µA pull-up current source. This combination can be used to control the on/off operation of ACT4050 using several methods: 1) First, "always-on" operation can be enabled simply by floating the EN pin. Any time power is applied to VIN, the EN pull-up current source will bring the pin above 1.1V and enable the IC. In this case, under-voltage lockout will be controlled by an internal 4.2V comparator on VIN. 2) Second, an open-drain or open-collector logic device can be used to pull the EN pin low to provide digital ON/OFF control. When the logic pull-down is disabled, the internal 2µA pull-up current will bring the EN pin high and enable the chip. 3) Third, a known startup delay time can be created by adding a small capacitor from EN to GND in -4- www.active-semi.com Copyright © 2011 Active-Semi, Inc. ACT4050 Active-Semi Rev 2, 01-Jul-11 addition to the open-drain or open-collector logic device. When the logic pull-down is disabled, the voltage at EN will ramp up at a rate determined by the 2µA EN pull-up current and the capacitor. Once the voltage at EN exceeds the 1.1V threshold, the device will be enabled. For the case of using multiple ACT4050, time-based output sequencing can be generated by placing different capacitors at each ACT4050 EN pin. The start up time delay can be calculated as a simple function of the EN capacitor using the equation: T (ms) = 0.55 × CEN (nF) Table 1: Enable Delay Time vs. EN Capacitor Value CAPACITOR VALUE DELAY TIME (ms) 2.2nF 1.2 3.3nF 1.9 10nF 5.5 4) Fourth, by using the 1.1V precision comparator in the EN circuitry, "power-OK" type output sequencing can be generated. By connecting the EN pin of one ACT4050 to the output of another device, the ACT4050 will only start up once the second device's output has exceeded the 1.1V level. A resistor divider can be used to adjust the ACT4050 startup to any point on the second device's output range. 5) Finally, the EN comparator can be used for "Line UVLO" to prevent the ACT4050 from starting up before the input voltage is high enough to support the output. By using a resistor divider from VIN to GND (center tap = 1.1V EN threshold), the device can be enabled and disabled based on the voltage at VIN. Since the internal UVLO voltage is 4.2V, Line UVLO is recommended for outputs above this 4.2V level to ensure clean startup. For the example of a 5V output, it is desirable to prevent IC startup until VIN has exceeded the 5V level. To start the IC at 6V input, we place a 10kΩ/47kΩ resistor divider from VIN to EN to GND, which enables the IC at VIN greater than 6.3V and disables the IC when VIN decreases below 5.2V. Thermal Shutdown The ACT4050 automatically turns off when its junction temperature exceeds 160°C and automatically turns on again when the junction temperature falls below 140°C .

ACT4050 Active-Semi Rev 2, 01-Jul-11 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION LLIM is the internal current limit, as shown in Electrical Characteristics Table. Output Voltage Setting Input Capacitor Figure 1: The input capacitor needs to be carefully selected to maintain sufficiently low ripple at the supply input of the converter. A low ESR capacitor is highly recommended. Since large current flows in and out of this capacitor during switching, its ESR also affects efficiency. Output Voltage Setting VOUT ACT4050 RFB1 FB RFB2 Note: To achieve best performance with 12V input application, we recommend to use output voltage greater than 1.4V. The input capacitance needs to be higher than 10µF. The best choice is the ceramic type, however, low ESR tantalum or electrolytic types may also be used provided that the RMS ripple current rating is higher than 50% of the output current. The input capacitor should be placed close to the IN and G pins of the IC, with the shortest traces possible. In the case of tantalum or electrolytic types, they can be further away if a small parallel 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is placed right next to the IC. Inductor Selection Output Capacitor The inductor maintains a continuous current to the output load. This inductor current has a ripple that is dependent on the inductance value: higher inductance reduces the peak-to-peak ripple current. The trade off for high inductance value is the increase in inductor core size and series resistance, and the reduction in current handling capability. In general, select an inductance value L based on ripple current requirement: The output capacitor also needs to have low ESR to keep low output voltage ripple. The output ripple voltage is: Figure 1 shows the connections for setting output voltage. Select the proper ratio of the feedback resistors RFB1 and RFB2 based on output voltage. Typically, use RFB2 ≈ 10kΩ determine RFB1 from the following equation: ⎞ ⎛ VOUT R FB 1 = R FB 2 ⎜ − 1⎟ 0 . 817 V ⎠ ⎝ L= VOUT × (VIN − VOUT ) VIN fSW IOUTMAX K RIPPLE the two the and (1) (2) where VIN is the input voltage, VOUT is the output voltage, fSW is the switching frequency, IOUTMAX is the maximum output current, and KRIPPLE is the ripple factor. Typically, choose KRIPPLE = 30% to correspond to the peak-to-peak ripple current being 30% of the maximum output current. With a selected inductor value the peak-to-peak inductor current is estimated as: I LPK - PK = V OUT × (V IN - V OUT L × V IN × fSW ) (3) 1 I 2 LPK - PK (4) The selected inductor should not saturate at ILPK. The maximum output current is calculated as: I OUTMAX = I LIM - Innovative PowerTM 1 I 2 LPK - PK VIN 2 28 × f SW LC OUT (6) where IOUTMAX is the maximum output current, KRIPPLE is the ripple factor, RESR is the ESR of the output capacitor, fSW is the switching frequency, L is the inductor value, and COUT is the output capacitance. In the case of ceramic output capacitors, RESR is very small and does not contribute to the ripple. Therefore, a lower capacitance value can be used for ceramic type. In the case of tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, the ripple is dominated by RESR multiplied by the ripple current. In that case, the output capacitor is chosen to have sufficiently low ESR. For ceramic output capacitor, typically choose a capacitance of about 22µF. For tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, choose a capacitor with less than 50mΩ ESR. Rectifier Diode The peak inductor current is estimated as: I LPK = I LOADMAX + VRIPPLE = IOUTMAX K RIPPLE RESR + Use a Schottky diode as the rectifier to conduct current when the High-Side Power Switch is off. The Schottky diode must have current rating higher than the maximum output current and a reverse voltage rating higher than the maximum input voltage.
