Both the main (P-Channel MOSFET) and synchronous (N-channel MOSFET) switches are internal. During normal operation, the EUP3412 regulates output voltage by switching at a constant frequency and then modulating the power transferred to the load each cycle using PWM comparator. The duty cycle is controlled by three weighted differential signals: the output of error amplifier, the main switch sense voltage and the slope-compensation ramp. It modulates output power by adjusting the inductor-peak current during the first half of each cycle. An N-channel, synchronous switch turns on during the second half of each cycle (off time). When the inductor current starts to reverse or when the PWM reaches the end of the oscillator period, the synchronous switch turns off. This keeps excess current from flowing backward through the inductor, from the output capacitor to GND, or through the main and synchronous switch to GND. 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. Thus, a 1800mA rated inductor should be enough for most applications (1.5A+300mA). The DC-resistance of the inductor directely influences the efficiency of the converter. Therefore for better efficiency, choose a low DC-resistance inductor. CIN and COUT Selection In continuous mode, the source current of the top MOSFET is a square wave of duty cycle VOUT/VIN. The primary function of the input capacitor is to provide a low impedance loop for the edges of pulsed current drawn by the EUP3412. A low ESR input capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current must be used. The size required will vary depending on the load, output voltage and input voltage source impedance characteristics. A typical value is around 22µF. The input capacitor RMS current varies with the input voltage and the output voltage. The equation for the maximum RMS current in the input capacitor is: Soft-Start The EUP3412 has an internal soft-start circuit that limits the inrush current and output voltage overshoot during startup. The soft-start is implemented with a digital circuit increasing the switch current in steps. Short-Circuit Protection As soon as the output voltage drops below 50% of the nominal output voltage, the converter switching frequency as well as the current limit is reduced to 50% of the nominal value. Input Undervoltage Lockout The undervoltage lockout circuit prevents device misoperation at low input voltages. It prevents the converter from turning on the switch or rectifier MOSFET with undefined conditions. Inductor Selection The EUP3412 typically uses a 2.2uH output inductor. Larger or smaller inductor values can be used to optimize the performance of the device for specific operation conditions. The output inductor is selected to limit the ripple current to some predetermined value, typically 20%~40% of the full load current at the maximum input voltage. Large value inductors lower ripple currents. Higher VIN or VOUT also increases the ripple current as shown in equation. A reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is ∆IL=600mA (40% of 1.5A). ∆IL = DS3412 Ver1.3 V VOUT1 − OUT VIN (f)(L) 1 Mar. 2009 8 I RMS =I O × V V O × 1 − O V V IN IN The output capacitor COUT has a strong effect on loop stability. The selection of COUT is driven by the required effective series resistance (ESR). ESR is a direct function of the volume of the capacitor; that is, physically larger capacitors have lower ESR. Once the ESR requirement for COUT has been met, the RMS current rating generally far exceeds the IRIPPLE(P-P) requirement. The output ripple ∆VOUT is determined by: 1 ∆VOUT ≅ ∆IL ESR + 8fC OUT When choosing the input and output ceramic capacitors, choose the X5R or X7R dielectric formulations. These dielectrics have the best temperature and voltage characteristics of all the ceramics for a given value and size. EUP3412 Output Voltage Programming The output voltage is set by a resistive divider according to the following formula: R2 VOUT = 0.5V 1 + R1 Choose R1 value 50kΩ for most applications. The external resistive divider is connected to the output, allowing remote voltage sensing as shown below. Thermal Considerations To avoid the EUP3412 from exceeding the maximum junction temperature, the user will need to do a thermal analysis. The goal of the thermal analysis is to determine whether the operating conditions exceed the maximum junction temperature of the part. The temperature rise is given by: TR=(PD)(θJA) Where PD=ILOAD2 × RDS(ON) is the power dissipated by the regulator ; θJA is the thermal resistance from the junction of the die to the ambient temperature. The junction temperature, TJ, is given by: TJ=TA+TR Where TA is the ambient temperature. TJ should be below the maximum junction temperature of 125°C. DS3412 Ver1.3 Mar. 2009 9 PC Board Layout Checklist For all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design especially at high peak currents and switching frequencies. If the layout is not carefully done, the regulator might show stability problems as well as EMI problems. When laying out the printed circuit board, the following guidelines should be used to ensure proper operation of the EUP3412. 1. The input capacitor CIN should connect to VIN as closely as possible. This capacitor provides the AC current to the internal power MOSFETs. 2. The power traces, consisting of the GND trace, the SW trace and the VIN trace should be kept short, direct and wide. 3. The FB pin should connect directly to the feedback resistors. The resistive divider R1/R2 must be connected between the COUT and ground. 4. Keep the switching node, SW, away from the sensitive FB node. EUP3412 Packaging Information MSOP-10 SYMBOLS A A1 D E1 E L b e D1 E2 DS3412 Ver1.3 Mar. 2009 MILLIMETERS MIN.
