19-1850; Rev 0; 10/00 Digital Camera Step-Down Power Supply The main step-down DC-DC controller accepts inputs from 2.5V to 11V and regulates a resistor-adjustable output from 2.7V to 5.5V. It uses a synchronous rectifier to regulate the output with up to 94% efficiency. An adjustable operating frequency (up to 1MHz) facilitates designs for optimum size, cost, and efficiency. The core step-down DC-DC converter accepts inputs from 2.7V to 5.5V and regulates a resistor-adjustable output from 1.25V to 5.5V. It delivers 500mA with up to 94% efficiency. The three auxiliary step-up controllers can be used to power the digital camera’s CCD, LCD, and backlight. The MAX1802 also features expandability by supplying power, an oscillator signal, and a reference to the MAX1801, a low-cost slave DC-DC controller that supports step-up, single-ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC), and fly-back configurations. The MAX1802 is available in a space-saving 32-pin TQFP package (5mm x 5mm body), and the MAX1801 is available in an 8-pin SOT-23 package. An evaluation kit (MAX1802EVKIT) featuring both devices is available to expedite designs. ________________________Applications Digital Still Cameras Digital Video Cameras Hand-Held Devices Internet Access Tablets PDAs Features ♦ 2.5V to 11V Input Voltage Range ♦ Main DC-DC Controller 94% Efficiency +2.7V to +5.5V Adjustable Output Voltage Up to 100% Duty Cycle Independent Shutdown ♦ Core DC-DC Converter 94% Efficiency Up to 500mA Load Efficiency Output Voltage Adjustable Down to 1.25V Independent Shutdown ♦ Three Auxiliary DC-DC Controllers Adjustable Maximum Duty Cycle Independent Shutdown ♦ Power, Oscillator, and Reference Outputs to Drive External Slave Controllers (MAX1801) ♦ Up to 1MHz Switching Frequency ♦ 3µA Supply Current in Shutdown Mode ♦ Internal Soft-Start ♦ Overload Protection for All DC-DC Converters ♦ Compact 32-Pin TQFP Package Ordering Information PART MAX1802EHJ TEMP.

It features two step-down DC-DC converters (main and core), three auxiliary step-up DC-DC controllers, and control capability for multiple external MAX1801 slave DC-DC controllers. Together, these provide a complete high-efficiency power-supply solution for digital still cameras. Figures 2 and 3 show the MAX1802 functional block diagrams. Master-Slave Configuration The MAX1802 supports MAX1801 “slave” controllers that obtain input power, a voltage reference, and an oscillator signal directly from the MAX1802 “master” DC-DC converter. The master-slave configuration reduces system cost by eliminating redundant circuitry and controlling the harmonic content of noise with synchronized converter switching. Main DC-DC Converter The MAX1802 main step-down DC-DC converter generates a 2.7V to 5.5V output voltage from a 2.5V to 11V battery input voltage. When the battery voltage is lower than the main regulation voltage, the regulator goes into dropout and the P-channel switch remains on. In this condition, the output voltage is slightly lower than the input voltage. The converter drives an external Pchannel MOSFET power switch and an external Nchannel MOSFET synchronous rectifier. The converter operates in a low-noise, constant-frequency PWM current mode to regulate the voltage across the load. Switching harmonics generated by fixed-frequency operation are consistent and easily filtered. The external P-channel MOSFET switch turns on during the first part of each cycle, allowing current to ramp up in the inductor and store energy in a magnetic field while supplying current to the load. During the second part of each cycle, the P-channel MOSFET turns off and the voltage across the inductor reverses, forcing current through the external N-channel synchronous rectifier to the output filter capacitor and load. As the energy stored in the inductor is depleted, the current ramps down. The synchronous rectifier turns off when the inductor current approaches zero or at the beginning of a new cycle, at which time the P-channel switch turns on again. The current-mode PWM converter uses the voltage at COMPM to program the inductor current and regulate the output voltage. The converter detects inductor current by sensing the voltage across the source and 14 drain of the external P-channel MOSFET. The MAX1802 main output switches to Idle Mode at light loads to improve efficiency by leaving the P-channel switch on until the voltage across the MOSFET reaches the 20mV Idle Mode threshold. The Idle Mode current is 20mV divided by the MOSFET on-resistance. By forcing the inductor current above the Idle Mode threshold, more energy is supplied to the output capacitor than is required by the load. The switch and synchronous rectifiers then remain off until the output capacitor discharges to the regulation voltage. This causes the converter to operate at a lower effective switching frequency at light loads, thus improving efficiency. An internal comparator turns off the N-channel synchronous rectifier as the inductor current drops near zero, by measuring the voltage across the MOSFET. If the Nchannel MOSFET on-resistance is low (less than that of the P-channel switch), it may cause the MOSFET to turn off prematurely, degrading efficiency. This is especially critical for high input voltage applications, such as with 2 series Li+ cells. In this case, use an N-channel MOSFET with greater on-resistance than the P-channel switch, and/or place a Schottky recitifier across the Nchannel MOSFET gate-source. The voltage at COMPM is typically clamped to VCOMPM(MAX) = 2.14V, thereby limiting the inductor current. The peak inductor current (ILIM) and the maximum average output current (I OUT(MAX)) are determined by the following equations: V A VCOMPM(MAX) − VREF 1 + OUT VSWM VIN ILIM = A VCSM RDSP 1 − IOUT(MAX) = ILIM − VOUT VOUT VIN 2 fOSC L where AVSWM is the main slope compensation gain (0.20V/V), AVCSM is the voltage gain of the main current-sense amplifier (9.3V/V), RDSP is the on-resistance of the external P-channel MOSFET switch, and L is the inductor value. Note that the current limit increases as the input/output voltage ratio increases. ______________________________________________________________________________________ +5V MOTOR DRIVE OFF CCM 4.7nF RCM 33k 100k 464k 4.7µF 6 2 CCC 470pF RCC 90k Q1 D5 Q1, Q2, Q3: FDN337N Q4, Q5: SEE MOSFET SELECTION SECTION D1, D2, D3, D4: CMSD-4448 D5: MBR0502L ON +7V BACKLIGHT OSC MAX1801 IN 1 0.1µH 3 REF COMP 4 GND DCON 5 8 DL 7 VL CC1 1000pF RC1 10k 1µF 10 40.2k VL 32 FB2 DL2 FB1 DL1 0.1µF 25 PGND FBC LXC VDDC FBM PGNDM DLM LXM DHM VH VDDM MAX1802 4 5 GND 21 COMP3 CC3 1000pF RC3 10k COMP1 COMPC COMPM ONM ON1 ONC VL FB3 DL3 DCON3 DCON2 DCON1 REF OSC 17 COMP2 14 29 2 3 13 24 28 22 20 23 18 11 COSC 31 100pF ROSC CC2 1000pF RC2 10k 0.1µF 4.7µH 10µF 30 26 27 1 9 8 7 6 16 19 15 12 44.2k 10µH Q5 Q4 Q3 D6 10µH Q2 10µF 100k +15V LCD BIAS +12V +18V 100k +1.8V CORE +3.3V MAIN 1.34MΩ 100k -7.5V 1.1MΩ CCD BIAS 165k 1µF 100k 1µF 1µF 100µF D4 D3 D2 1µF 1µF D1 MAX1802 INPUT 2.5V TO 11V Digital Camera Step-Down Power Supply Figure 1.

Simplified Block Diagram, Including Main and Core Core DC-DC Converter The MAX1802 core step-down DC-DC converter generates a 1.25V to 5.5V output voltage from the main controller output. The core converter has the same low-noise, constant-frequency PWM current-mode architecture as the main controller. However, it uses an internal P-channel MOSFET power switch and N-channel MOSFET synchronous rectifier to maximize efficiency and reduce circuit size and external component count. The core converter internally monitors the inductor current for current-mode regulation of the output voltage, as well as overload protection, automatic Idle Mode switchover, and turning off the synchronous rectifier when the inductor current approaches zero. By switching to Idle Mode at light loads and turning the synchronous rectifier off at zero current, light-load efficiency is improved. The core converter is inactive until the main output has started. The voltage at COMPC is typically clamped to VCOMPC(MAX) = 2.14V, thereby limiting the inductor current. The peak inductor current limit (ILIM) and the maximum average output current (I OUT(MAX) ) are determined by the following equations: 16 V A VCOMPC(MAX) − VREF 1 + OUT VSWC VIN ILIM = RCSC V 1 − OUT VOUT VIN IOUT(MAX) = ILIM − 2 fOSC L where A VSWC is the core slope compensation gain (0.20V/V), RCSC is the transresistance of the core current-sense amplifier (1V/A), and L is the inductor value. Note that the current limit increases as the input/output ratio increases. Auxiliary DC-DC Controllers The MAX1802’s three auxiliary controllers operate in a low-noise, fixed-frequency, PWM mode with output power limited by the external components. The con- ______________________________________________________________________________________ Digital Camera Step-Down Power Supply MAX1802 FB_ COMP_ R LEVEL SHIFT Q DL_ S SOFTSTART REF DCON_ CLK OSC FAULT PROTECTION Figure 3. Auxiliary Controller Block Diagram trollers regulate their output voltages by modulating the pulse width of the drive signal for an external N-channel MOSFET switch. The auxiliary controllers are inactive until the main output has started. Figure 3 shows a block diagram for a MAX1802 auxiliary PWM controller. The sawtooth oscillator signal at OSC governs the internal timing. At the beginning of each cycle, DL_ goes high to turn on the external MOSFET switch. The MOSFET switch turns off when the internally level-shifted sawtooth rises above COMP_ or when the maximum duty cycle is exceeded. The switch remains off until the beginning of the next cycle. An internal transconductance amplifier establishes an integrated error voltage at COMP_, thereby increasing the loop gain for improved regulation accuracy. Power-Up Sequence The MAX1802 is in the shutdown state with all circuitry off when the ONM input is low (<1.3V). When ONM goes high, an internal linear regulator generates 3V at the VL output from the VDDM input to power internal circuitry. As VL rises above the 2.4V undervoltage lockout threshold, the internal reference and oscillator begin to function and the main DC-DC converter begins soft-start operation. The main DC-DC output reaches full regulation voltage after 1024 soft-start oscillator cycles. Once the main DC-DC converter completes soft-start, the core DC-DC converter and the auxiliary DC-DC controllers are enabled. As the voltage at VDDC rises above 2.4V, the internal linear regulator turns off and an internal 3Ω switch connects VL directly to VDDC, which is typically connected to the output of the main DC-DC converter. The core DC-DC converter and the auxiliary DC-DC controllers have independent on-off control and softstart. The main DC-DC converter shuts down with a low input at ONM. The core DC-DC converter shuts down with a low input at ONC. Turn auxiliary DC-DC converter 1 off by driving either ON1 or DCON1 to GND. Turn off auxiliary controller 2 or 3 by driving DCON2 or DCON3 to GND. Reference The MAX1802 has an internal 1.248V, 1% reference. Connect a 0.1µF bypass capacitor from REF to GND within 0.2in (5mm) of the REF pin. REF can source up to 200µA of external load current, and it is enabled whenever ONM is high and VL is above the undervolt- ______________________________________________________________________________________ 17 MAX1802 Digital Camera Step-Down Power Supply age lockout threshold. The internal core converter, auxiliary controllers, and MAX1801 slave controllers each sink up to 30µA REF current during startup. If multiple MAX1801 controllers are turned on simultaneously, ensure that the master voltage reference can provide sufficient current, or buffer the reference with an appropriate unity-gain amplifier. Oscillator The oscillator uses a comparator, a 100ns one-shot, and an internal N-channel MOSFET switch in conjunction with an external timing resistor and capacitor to generate the oscillator signal at OSC (Figure 4). The capacitor voltage exponentially approaches VL from zero with a time constant given by the R OSC C OSC product when the switch is open, and the comparator output becomes high when the capacitor voltage reaches VREF (1.25V). At that time, the one-shot activates the internal MOSFET switch to discharge the capacitor within a 100ns interval, and the cycle repeats. Note that the oscillation frequency changes as VL changes during startup. The oscillation frequency is constant while the VL voltage is constant. Maximum Duty Cycle The MAX1802’s three auxiliary controllers use the sawtooth oscillator signal generated at OSC, the voltage at DCON_, and an internal comparator to limit their maximum duty cycles (see Setting the Maximum Duty Cycle). Limiting the duty cycle can prevent saturation in some magnetic components. A low maximum duty cycle can also force the converter to operate in discontinuous current mode, simplifying design stability at the cost of a slight reduction in efficiency. Soft-Start All the MAX1802 converters feature a soft-start function that limits inrush current and prevents excessive battery loading at startup by ramping the output voltage to the regulation voltage. This is achieved by increasing the internal reference inputs to the controller transconductance amplifiers from 0 to the 1.25V reference voltage over 1024 oscillator cycles when initial power is applied or when the controller is enabled. Overload Protection The MAX1802’s three auxiliary controllers have fault protection that prevents damage to transformer-coupled or SEPIC circuits due to an output overload condition. When the output voltage drops out of regulation for 1024 oscillator clock periods, the auxiliary controller is disabled to prevent excessive output current. Restart the controller by cycling the voltage at ON_ or DCON_ to GND and back to the on state. For a step-up appli18 VL ROSC OSC COSC VREF (1.25V) 100ns ONE-SHOT MAX1802 Figure 4. Oscillator cation, short-circuit current is not limited, due to the DC current path through the inductor and output rectifier to the short circuit. If short-circuit protection is required in a step-up configuration, use a protection device such as a fuse to limit short-circuit current. Design Procedure Setting the Switching Frequency Choose a switching frequency to optimize external component size or circuit efficiency for the particular MAX1802 application. Switching frequencies between 400kHz and 500kHz offer a good balance between component size and circuit efficiency. Higher frequencies allow smaller components, and lower frequencies improve efficiency. The switching frequency is set with an external timing resistor (ROSC) and capacitor (COSC). At the beginning of a cycle, the timing capacitor charges through the resistor until it reaches VREF. The charge time t1 is: t1 = -ROSC(COSC+10pF) In [1 - (VREF / VVL)] Once the voltage at OSC reaches VREF, it discharges through an internal switch over time t2 = 200ns. The oscillator frequency is fOSC = 1 / (t1 + t2). Set fOSC in the range 100kHz ≤ f OSC ≤ 1MHz. Choose C OSC between 47pF and 470pF. Determine ROSC from the relation: ______________________________________________________________________________________ Digital Camera Step-Down Power Supply See the Typical Operating Characteristics for fOSC vs. ROSC using different values of COSC. Due to duty cycle limitation in the main controller, keep fOSC ≤ VMAIN / (VVDDM(MAX) ✕ 500ns). Setting the Output Voltages Set the MAX1802 output voltage of each converter by connecting a resistive voltage-divider from the output voltage to the corresponding FB_ input. The FB_ input bias current is <100nA, so choose RL (the low-side FB_-to-GND resistor) to be 100kΩ. Choose R H (the high-side output-to-FB_ resistor) according to the relation: VOSC (V) DMAX = tH tL + tH 1.25 VDCON_ 0.25 0 CLK V RH = RL OUT − 1 1 . 248 tL tH Setting the Maximum Duty Cycle The oscillator signal at OSC and the voltage at DCON_ are used to generate the internal clock signals for the three MAX1802 auxiliary controllers (CLK in Figure 3). The internal clock’s falling edge occurs when VOSC exceeds VDCON_ (set by a resistive divider). The internal clock’s rising edge occurs when VOSC falls below 0.25V (Figure 5). The adjustable maximum duty cycle range is 40% to 90% (see Maximum Duty Cycle vs. V DCON _ in the Typical Operating Characteristics). The maximum duty cycle defaults to 76% at 100kHz if VDCON_ is at or above the voltage at V REF (1.25V) (see Default Maximum Duty Cycle vs. Frequency in the Typical Operating Characteristics). The controller shuts down if VDCON_ is <0.3V. Inductor Selection Main and Core Step-Down Converters MAX1802 main and core step-down converters offer best efficiency when the inductor current is continuous. For most designs, a reasonable inductor value (LIDEAL) can be derived from the following equation, which sets continuous peak-to-peak inductor current at 1/3 the DC inductor current: 3 (VIN − VDSP ) D (1− D) LIDEAL = IOUT fOSC where D, the duty cycle, is given by: D= VOUT + VDSN VIN − VDSP + VDSN Figure 5. Auxiliary Controller Internal Clock Signal Generation In these equations, VDSP is the voltage drop across the P-channel MOSFET switch, and VDSN is the voltage drop across the N-channel MOSFET synchronous rectifier. Given LIDEAL, the consistent peak-to-peak inductor current is 0.33 IOUT. The maximum inductor current is 1.17 IOUT. Inductance values smaller than LIDEAL can be used; however, the maximum inductor current will rise as L is reduced, and a larger output capacitance will be required to maintain the same output ripple. For stable operation, the minimum inductance is limited by the internal slope compensation. The minimum inductor values for main and core are given by: 0.5 VOUT RDSP LMIN(MAIN) = 1 − DMAX 0.013 fOSC and 0.5 VOUT LMIN(CORE) = 1 − DMAX 0.13 fOSC where RDSP is the on-resistance of the P-channel MOSFET switch, and DMAX = VOUT / VIN. Auxiliary Step-Up Controllers The three MAX1802 auxiliary step-up controllers offer best efficiency when the inductor current is continuous. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 19 MAX1802 ROSC = (200ns - 1/fOSC) / (COSC + 10pF) ✕ ln (1 - VREF / VVL) MAX1802 Digital Camera Step-Down Power Supply Use discontinuous current when the step-up ratio (VOUT / VIN) is greater than 1 / (1 - DMAX). Continuous Inductor Current A reasonable inductor value (LIDEAL) can be derived from the following equation, which sets continuous peak-to-peak inductor current at 1/3 the DC inductor current: LIDEAL = ( ) 3 VIN(MAX ) − VDSN D(1− D) IOUT fOSC where D, the duty cycle, is given by: D ≈ 1− VIN VOUT + VD In these equations, VDSN is the voltage drop across the N-channel MOSFET switch, and VD is the forward voltage drop across the rectifier. Given LIDEAL, the consistent peak-to-peak inductor current is 0.33 IOUT / (1 - D). The maximum inductor current is 1.17 IOUT / (1 - D). Inductance values smaller than LIDEAL can be used; however, the maximum inductor current will rise as L is reduced, and a larger output capacitance will be required to maintain the same output ripple. The inductor current will become discontinuous if IOUT decreases by more than a factor of six from the value used to determine LIDEAL. Discontinuous Inductor Current In the discontinuous mode, each MAX1802 auxiliary controller regulates the output voltage by adjusting the duty cycle to allow adequate power transfer to the load. To ensure regulation under worst-case load conditions (maximum IOUT), choose: L = VOUT DMAX 2 IOUT fOSC The peak inductor current is VIN DMAX / (L fOSC). The inductor’s saturation current rating should meet or exceed the calculated peak inductor current. Input and Output Filter Capacitors The input capacitor (CIN) reduces the current peaks drawn from the battery or input power source. The impedance of the input capacitor at the switching frequency should be less than that of the input source so that high-frequency switching currents do not pass through the input source. 20 The output capacitor is required to keep the output voltage ripple small and to ensure regulation control-loop stability. The output capacitor must have low impedance at the switching frequency. Tantalum and ceramic capacitors are good choices. Tantalum capacitors typically have high capacitance and medium-to-low equivalent series resistance (ESR) so that ESR dominates the impedance at the switching frequency. In turn, the output ripple is approximately: VRIPPLE ≈ IL(p-p) ESR where IL(p-p) is the peak-to-peak inductor current. Ceramic capacitors typically have lower ESR than tantalum capacitors, but with relatively small capacitance that dominates the impedance at the switching frequency. In turn, the output ripple is approximately: VRIPPLE ≈ IL(p-p) ZC where IL(p-p) is the peak-to-peak inductor current, and ZC ≈ 1 / (2 π fOSC COUT ). See the Compensation Design section for a discussion of the influence of output capacitance and ESR on regulation control-loop stability. The capacitor voltage rating must exceed the maximum applied capacitor voltage. For most tantalum capacitors, manufacturers suggest derating the capacitor by applying no more than 70% of the rated voltage to the capacitor. Ceramic capacitors are typically used up to the voltage rating of the capacitor. Consult the manufacturer’s specifications for proper capacitor derating. MOSFET Selection The MAX1802 main converter and auxiliary controllers drive external logic-level P- and/or N-channel MOSFETs as the circuit switching elements. The key selection parameters are: • On-resistance (RDS(ON)) • Maximum drain-to-source voltage (VDS(MAX)) • Total gate charge (Qg) • Reverse transfer capacitance (CRSS) Because the main converter’s external MOSFETs are used for current sense, they directly determine the output current capability and efficiency of the main converter. It is important to select the appropriate external MOSFETs for the main converter. The P-channel onresistance (RDSP) at minimum input voltage (VVDDM) must be low enough so that the converter can produce the desired output current as determined by the IOUT(MAX) equation in the Main DC-DC Converter section. The N-channel on-resistance (RDSN) determines ______________________________________________________________________________________ Digital Camera Step-Down Power Supply For the main converter, the external gate drive swings between the voltage at VDDM and GND. For the auxiliary controllers, the external gate drive swings between the voltage at VDDC and GND. Use a MOSFET whose on-resistance is specified at or below the minimum gate drive voltage swing, and make sure that the maximum voltage swing does not exceed the maximum gate-source voltage specification of the MOSFET. The gate charge, Qg, includes all capacitance associated with gate charging and helps to predict the transition time required to drive the MOSFET between on and off states. The power dissipated in the MOSFET is due to RDS(ON) and transition losses. The RDS(ON) loss is: P1 ≈ D IL2 RDS(ON) where D is the duty cycle, IL is the average inductor current, and RDS(ON) is the on-resistance of the MOSFET. The transition loss is approximately: P2 ≈ VSWING IL fOSC t T 3 where VSWING is VOUT for the auxiliary controllers or VIN(MAX) for the main and core converters, IL is the average inductor current, fOSC is the converter switching frequency, and tT is the transition time. The transition time is approximately Qg / IG, where Qg is the total gate charge, and IG is the gate drive current (0.4A typ). The total power dissipation in the MOSFET is PMOSFET = P1 + P2. Diode Selection The main and core converters use synchronous rectifiers and thus do not require a diode. However, if the external N-channel synchronous rectifier has low onresistance (less than the P-channel on-resistance), the high N-channel turn-off current results in lower efficiency. In that case, connect a Schottky diode, rated for maximum output current, from PGNDM to LXM to improve efficiency. The auxiliary controllers require external rectifiers. For low-output-voltage applications, use a Schottky diode to rectify the output voltage because of the diode’s low forward voltage and fast recovery time. Schottky diodes exhibit significant leakage current at high reverse voltages and high temperatures. Thus, for high-voltage, high-temperature applications, use ultra-fast junction rectifiers. Compensation Design Each DC-DC converter has an internal transconductance error amplifier whose output is used to compensate the control loop. Typically, a series resistor and capacitor are inserted from COMP_ to GND to form a pole-zero pair. The external inductor, the output capacitor, the compensation resistor and capacitor, and for the main converter, the external P-channel MOSFET, govern control-loop stability. The inductor and output capacitor are usually chosen in consideration of performance, size, and cost, but the compensation resistor and capacitor are chosen to optimize control-loop stability. The component values in the circuit of Figure 1 yield stable operation over a broad range of input/output voltages and converter switching frequencies. Follow the procedures below for optimal compensation. In the following descriptions, Bode plots are used to graphically describe the loop response of the converters over frequency. The Bode plot shows loop gain and phase vs. frequency. A single pole results in a -20dB per decade slope and a -90° phase shift, and a single zero results in a +20dB per decade slope and a +90° phase shift. The stability of the system can be determined by the phase margin (how far from 0° the loop phase is when the response drops to 0dB) and gain margin (how far below 0dB the gain is when the phase reaches 0°). The system is stable for phase margins >30°, and a phase margin of 45° is preferred. The gain margin should be at least 10dB. Main Converter The main converter uses current mode to regulate the output voltage by forcing the required current through the inductor. Since the P-channel MOSFET operates with constant drain-source on-resistance (RDSP), the voltage across the MOSFET is proportional to the inductor current. The converter current-sense amplifier measures the “on” MOSFET drain-source voltage to determine the inductor current for regulation. The gain through the current-sense amplifier (measured across the MOSFET) is AVCSM = 9.3V/V. The voltage-divider attenuates the loop gain by AVDV = VREF / VOUT, and the gain DC voltage of the error amplifier is AVEA = 2000V/V. The controller forces the peak inductor current (IL) such that: IL RDSP AVCSM = VOUT AVDV AVEA or IL = VOUT AVDV AVEA / (AVCSM RDSP) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 21 MAX1802 the N-channel turn-off current (equal to 17mV/RDSN). Choose RDSN value between RDSP and 3RDSP to keep the N-channel turn-off current low for optimal efficiency. If a lower RDSN is used, connect a Schottky diode from PGNDM to LXM for better efficiency (see Diode Selection). MAX1802 Digital Camera Step-Down Power Supply and the output voltage is IOUT RLOAD, which is equal to IL RLOAD. Thus, the total DC loop gain is: AVDC = RLOAD AVDV AVEA / (AVCSM RDSP) 180° or AVDC AVDC = 215 VREF RLOAD / (VOUT RDS(ON)) PC PHASE Because of the current-mode control, there is a single pole in the loop response due to the output capacitor. This pole is at the frequency (in Hz): 90° ZC = PO GAIN (dB) PHASE MARGIN PO = 1 / (2π RLOAD COUT) GAIN Note that as the load resistance increases, the pole moves to a lower frequency. However, the DC loop gain increases by the same amount since they are both dependent on RLOAD. Thus, the crossover frequency (frequency at which the loop gain drops to 0dB), which is the product of the pole and the gain, remains at the same frequency. The compensation network creates a pole and zero at the frequencies (in Hz): PC = GEA / (4000π CC) = 1 / (4x107 π CC) and ZC = 1 / (2π RC CC) and the ESR of the output filter capacitor causes a zero in the loop response at the frequency (in Hz): ZO = 1 / (2π COUT ESR) The DC gain and the poles and zeros are shown in the Bode plot of Figure 6. To achieve a stable circuit with the Bode plot of Figure 6, use the following procedure: 1) Determine the desired crossover frequency, either 1/3 of the zero due to the output capacitor ESR: fC = Z O / 3 = 1 6 π COUT ESR or 1/5 of the switching frequency: f fC = SW 5 whichever is lower. 2) Determine the pole frequency due to the output capacitor and the load resistor: PO = 22 1 PHASE O 0° Z0 FREQUENCY Figure 6.

The only difference is that the current is measured internally, and the gain (transresistance) of the current-sense amplifier is RCSC = 1.0V/A.

The pole frequency and DC gain of the PWM controller are dependent on the operating duty cycle, which is: ILOAD(MAX) 2 π VOUT COUT 3) Determine the compensation resistor required to set the desired crossover frequency: RC = 20MΩ fC A VDC PO or, by simplifying and using the typical VREF = 1.25V: and the DC gain of the PWM controller is: AVO = 2 VOUT (VOUT - VIN) RLOAD / ((2 VOUT - VIN) D) Note that, as in the current-mode, step-down cases above, as R LOAD is increased, the pole frequency decreases and the DC gain increases proportionally. Since the crossover frequency is the product of the pole frequency and the DC gain, it remains independent of the load. As in the cases of the main and core converters, the gain through the voltage-divider is AVDV = VREF / VOUT, and the DC gain of the error amplifier is AVEA = 2000V/V. Thus, the DC loop gain is AVDC = AVDV AVEA AVO. The compensation resistor-capacitor pair at COMP cause a pole and zero at frequencies (in Hz): PC = GEA / (4000π CC) = 1 / (4x107 π CC) ZC = 1 / (2π RC CC) RC = 50kΩ/V VOUT COUT fC 4) Determine the compensation capacitor to set the proper error-amplifier pole and zero determined from the above equations: CC = 1 2 π RC PO Auxiliary Controllers The auxiliary controllers use voltage mode to regulate their output voltages. The following explains how to compensate the control system for optimal performance. The compensation differs depending on whether the inductor current is continuous or discontinuous. and the ESR of the output filter capacitor causes a zero in the loop response at the frequency (in Hz): ZO = 1 / (2π COUT ESR). The DC gain and the poles and zeros are shown in the Bode plot of Figure 7. To achieve a stable circuit with the Bode plot of Figure 7, follow the procedure below: 1) Choose the RC that is equivalent to the inverse of the transconductance of the error amplifier, 1 / RC = GEA = 100µs, or RC = 10kΩ. This sets the high-frequency voltage gain of the error amplifier to 0dB. 2) Determine the maximum output pole frequency: PO(MAX) = 2VOUT − VIN 2 π (VOUT − VIN )RLOAD(MIN) COUT where RLOAD(MIN) = VOUT / IOUT(MAX). ______________________________________________________________________________________ 23 MAX1802 To achieve a stable circuit for the core converter, use the following procedure: MAX1802 Digital Camera Step-Down Power Supply 3) Place the compensation zero at the same frequency as the maximum output pole frequency (in Hz): ZC = 1 2VOUT − VIN = 2πRC CC 2 π (VOUT − VIN )RLOAD(MIN) COUT 180° 80 AVDC 60 PC PHASE 40 Solving for CC: VOUT − VIN CC = COUT VOUT RC IOUT(MAX) (2VOUT − VIN ) 90° ZC = PO GAIN (dB) PHASE 20 GAIN O Use values of CC <10nF. If the above calculation determines that the capacitor should be >10nF, use CC = 10nF, skip step 4, and go to step 5. 4) Determine the crossover frequency (in Hz): VREF fC = π DCOUT and to maintain at least 10dB gain margin, make sure that the crossover frequency is ≤1/3 of the ESR zero frequency, or 3fC ≤ ZO, or ESR ≤ D / 6 VREF. If this is not the case, go to step 5 to reduce the erroramplifier high-frequency gain to decrease the crossover frequency. 5) The high-frequency gain may be reduced, thus reducing the crossover frequency, as long as the zero due to the compensation network remains at or below the crossover frequency. In this case: ESR ≤ 0° Z0 -20 FREQUENCY Figure 7. Discontinuous-Current, Voltage-Mode, Step-Up Controller Bode Plot increasing the phase margin. If a low-value, low-ESR output capacitor (such as a ceramic capacitor) is used, the ESR-related zero occurs at too high a frequency and does not increase the phase margin. In this case, use a lower value inductor so that it operates with discontinuous current (see the Discontinuous Inductor Current section). For continuous inductor current, the gain of the voltage divider is AVDV = VREF / VOUT, and the DC gain of the error amplifier is AVEA = 2000. The gain through the PWM controller in continuous current is: A VO = D GEA RC 6VREF VOUT 2 VIN VREF Thus, the total DC loop gain is: AVDC = 2000 VOUT / VIN. and fC = GEA RC VREF π DCOUT 1 ≥ 2π RC CC Choose COUT, RC, and CC to satisfy both equations simultaneously. Continuous Inductor Current For continuous inductor current, there are two conditions that change, requiring different compensation. The response of the control loop includes a right-halfplane zero and a complex pole pair due to the inductor and output capacitor. For stable operation, the controller-loop gain must drop below unity (0dB) at a much lower frequency than the right-half-plane zero frequency. The zero arising from the ESR of the output capacitor is typically used to compensate the control circuit by increasing the phase near the crossover frequency, 24 The complex pole pair due to the inductor and output capacitor occurs at the frequency (in Hz): PO = VOUT 2πVIN LCOUT The pole and zero due to the compensation network at COMP occur at the frequencies (in Hz): PC = 1 GEA = 4000 π C ( 4 × 107 πCC C) ZC = 1 2πRC CC ______________________________________________________________________________________ Digital Camera Step-Down Power Supply AVDC 30 180° PC GAIN PHASE ZC = PO 20 90° GAIN (dB) PHASE 4) Since response is 2nd order (-40dB per decade) between the complex pole pair and the ESR zero, determine the desired amplitude at the complex pole pair to force the crossover frequency equal to the ESR zero frequency.

Since the response between the compensation pole and the complex pole pair is 1st order (-20dB per decade), the ratio of the frequencies is equal to the ratio of the amplitudes at those frequencies. Thus: PO A = DC PC A(PO ) Figure 8. Continuous-Current, Voltage-Mode, Step-Up Converter Bode Plot The frequency (in Hz) of the zero due to the ESR of the output capacitor is: ZO = 1 2πCOUT ESR and the right-half-plane zero frequency (in Hz) is: ZRHP = (1-D)2 RLOAD 2πL Figure 8 shows the Bode plot of the loop gain of this control circuit.

Solving for RC: RC = VIN LCOUT VOUT CC Applications Information Using the MAX1801 with the MAX1802 Step-Down Master The MAX1801 is a slave DC-DC controller that can be used with the MAX1802 to generate additional output voltages. The MAX1801 does not generate its own reference or oscillator. Instead it uses the reference and oscillator from the MAX1802 step-down master converter controller (Figure 1). MAX1801 controller operation and design is similar to that of the MAX1802 auxiliary controllers. For more details, refer to the MAX1801 data sheet. Using an Auxiliary Controller in an SEPIC Configuration Where the battery voltage may be above or below the required output voltage, neither a step-up nor a stepdown converter is suitable; instead, use a step-up/stepdown converter. One type of step-up/step-down ______________________________________________________________________________________ 25 MAX1802 40 MAX1802 Digital Camera Step-Down Power Supply converter is the SEPIC, shown in Figure 9. Inductors L1 and L2 can be separate inductors or can be wound on a single core and coupled like a transformer. Typically, using a coupled inductor will improve efficiency since some power is transferred through the coupling, so less power passes through the coupling capacitor (C2). Likewise, C2 should have low ESR to improve efficiency. The ripple current rating must be greater than the larger of the input and output currents. The MOSFET (Q1) drain-source voltage rating and the rectifier (D1) reverse-voltage rating must exceed the sum of the input and output voltages. Other types of step-up/stepdown circuits are a flyback converter and a step-up converter followed by a linear regulator. Using an Auxiliary Controller for a Multi-Output Flyback Circuit Some applications require multiple voltages from a single converter that features a flyback transformer. Figure 10 shows a MAX1802 auxiliary controller in a two-output flyback configuration. The controller drives an external MOSFET that switches the transformer primary, and the two secondaries generate the outputs. Only a single positive output voltage can be regulated using the feedback resistive voltage-divider, so the other voltages are set by the turns ratio of the transformer secondaries. The regulation of the other secondary voltages degrades due to transformer leakage inductance and winding resistance. Voltage regulation is best when the load current is limited to a small range. Consult the transformer manufacturer for the proper design for a given application. Using a Charge Pump for Negative Output Voltages Negative output voltages can be produced without a transformer using a charge-pump circuit with an auxiliary controller as shown in Figure 11. When MOSFET Q1 turns off, the voltage at its drain rises to supply current to VOUT+. At the same time, C1 charges to the voltage at VOUT+ through D1. When the MOSFET turns on, C1 discharges through D3, thereby charging C3 to VOUT- minus the drop across D3 to create roughly the same voltage as V OUT+ at V OUT- but with inverted polarity. If different magnitudes are required for the positive and negative voltages, a linear regulator can be used at one of the outputs to achieve the desired voltage.

Auxiliary Controller, SEPIC Configuration Conductors carrying discontinuous currents should be kept as short as possible. Conductors carrying high currents should be made as wide as possible. A separate low-noise ground plane containing the reference and signal grounds should only connect to the powerground plane at one point to minimize the effects of power-ground currents. Keep the voltage feedback network very close to the IC, preferably within 0.2in (5mm) of the FB_ pin. Nodes with high dv/dt (switching nodes) should be kept as small as possible and should stay away from highimpedance nodes such as FB_ and COMP_.
