DESCRIPTION:
The MSK 5040 series are high efficiency, 4 amp, surface mount switching regulators. The output voltage is
configured for 1.9V, 2.5V, 3.3V or 5.0V internally with a tolerance of 1% at 1.5 amps. The operating frequency of
the MSK 5040 is 300KHz and is internally set. An external "soft start" capacitor allows the user to control how
quickly the output comes up to regulation voltage after the application of an input. An extremely low quiescent
current of typically less than 2.5mA and nearly 95% operating efficiency keep the total internal power dissipation of
the MSK 5040 down to an absolute minimum.

APPLICATION NOTES
CURRENT LIMITING:
INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION:
The MSK 5040 is equipped with a pair of sense pins that
are used to sense the load current using an external resistor
(Rs). The current-limit circuit resets the main PWM latch and
turns off the internal high-side MOSFET switch whenever the
voltage difference between Sense High and Sense Low exceeds 100mV. This limiting occurs in both current flow directions, putting the threshold limit at ±100mV. The tolerance
on the positive current limit is ±20%. The external low-value
sense resistor must be sized for 80mV/Rs to guarantee enough
load capacity. Load components must be designed to withstand continuous current stresses of 120mV/Rs.
For very high-current applications, it may be useful to wire
the sense inputs with a twisted pair instead of PCB traces.
This twisted pair needn't be anything unique, perhaps two pieces
of wire-wrap wire twisted together. Low inductance current
sense resistors, such as metal film surface mount styles are
best.
The MSK 5040 has an internal high frequency ceramic capacitor (0.1uF) between VIN and GND. Connect a low-ESR
bulk capacitor directly to the input pin of the MSK 5040. Select the bulk input filter capacitor according to input ripplecurrent requirements and voltage rating, rather than capacitor
value. Electrolytic capacitors that have low enough ESR to
meet the ripple-current requirement invariably have more than
adequate capacitance values. Aluminum-electrolytic capacitors are preferred over tantalum types, which could cause powerup surge-current failure when connecting to robust AC adapters or low-impedance batteries. RMS input ripple current is
determined by the input voltage and load current, with the
worst possible case occuring at VIN = 2 x VOUT:
SOFT START/Cton:
OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION:
The internal soft-start circuitry allows a gradual increase of
the internal current-limit level at start-up for the purpose of
reducing input surge currents, and possibly for power-supply
sequencing. In Disable mode, the soft-start circuit holds the
Cton capacitor discharged to ground. When Enable goes high,
a 4µA current source charges the Cton capacitor up to 3.2V.
The resulting linear ramp causes the internal current-limit threshold to increase proportionally from 20mV to 100mV. The output capacitors charge up relatively slowly, depending on the
Cton capacitor value. The exact time of the output rise depends on output capacitance and load current and is typically
1mS per nanofarad of soft-start capacitance. With no capacitor connected, maximum current limit is reached typically within
10µS.
IRMS = ILOAD X √VOUT(VIN-VOUT)
VIN
The output capacitor values are generally determined by
the ESR and voltage rating requirements rather than capacitance requirements for stability. Low ESR capacitors that meet
the ESR requirement usually have more output capacitance than
required for stability. Only specialized low-ESR capacitors intended for switching-regulator applications, such as AVX TPS,
Sprague 595D, Sanyo OS-CON, Nichicon PL series or Kemet
T510 series should be used. The capacitor must meet minimum capacitance and maximum ESR values as given in the
following equations:
CF > 2.5V(1 + VOUT/VIN(MIN))
VOUT x RSENSE x f
ENABLE FUNCTION:
RESR < RSENSE x VOUT
2.5V
These equations provide 45 degrees of phase margin to
ensure jitter-free fixed-frequency operation and provide a damped
output response for zero to full-load step changes. Lower quality capacitors can be used if the load lacks large step changes.
Bench testing over temperature is recommended to verify acceptable noise and transient response. As phase margin is
reduced, the first symptom is timing jitter, which shows up in
the switching waveforms. Technically speaking, this typically
harmless jitter is unstable operation, since the switching frequency is non-constant. As the capacitor ESR is increased,
the jitter becomes worse. Eventually, the load-transient waveform has enough ringing on it that the peak noise levels exceed
the output voltage tolerance. With zero phase margin and instability present, the output voltage noise never gets much
worse than IPEAK x RESR (under constant loads). Designers of
industrial temperature range digital systems can usually multiply the calculated ESR value by a factor of 1.5 without hurting
stability or transient response.
The output ripple is usually dominated by the ESR of the
filter capacitors and can be approximated as IRIPPLE x RESR.
Including the capacitive term, the full equation for ripple in the
continuous mode is VNOISE(p-p)=IRIPPLE x (RESR + 1/(2πfC)). In
idle mode, the inductor current becomes discontinuous with
high peaks and widely spaced pulses, so the noise can actually
be higher at light load compared to full load. In idle mode, the
output ripple can be calculated as follows:
The MSK 5040 is enabled by applying a logic level high to
the Enable pin. A logic level low will disable the device and
quiescent input current will reduce to approximately 2mA. The
Enable threshold voltage is 1V. If automatic start up is required, simply connect the pin to VIN. Maximum Enable voltage is +36V.
POWER DISSIPATION:
In high current applications, it is very important to ensure
that both MOSFETS are within their maximum junction temperature at high ambient temperatures. Temperature rise can
be calculated based on package thermal resistance and worst
case dissipation for each MOSFET. These worst case dissipations occur at minimum voltage for the high side MOSFET and
at maximum voltage for the low side MOSFET.
Calculate power dissipation using the following formulas:
Pd (upper FET)=ILOAD² x RDS x DUTY
+ VIN x ILOAD x f x VIN x CRSS+20ns
I GATE
Pd (lower FET)=ILOAD² x RDS x (1-DUTY)
DUTY= (VOUT+VQ2)
(VIN-VQ1)
Where: VQ1 or VQ2 (on state voltage drop)=ILOAD x RDS
RDS= 0.060Ω MAX at 25°C
CRSS=94pF
RDS= 0.120Ω MAX at 150°C
IGATE=1A
During output short circuit, Q2, the synchronous-rectifier
MOSFET, will have an increased duty factor and will see additional stress. This can be calculated by:
Q2 DUTY=1VQ2
VIN(MAX)-VQ1
Where: VQ1 or VQ2=(120MV/RSENSE) x RDS
VNOISE(p-p)= 0.02 x RESR + 0.0003 x 2.35µH x [1/VOUT + 1/(VIN-VOUT)]

APPLICATION NOTES CONT'D
RF HIGH:
It is very important that the DC voltage returned to the RF high pin from the output be as noise and oscillation free as possible.
This voltage helps to determine the final output and therefore must be a clean voltage. Excessive noise or oscillation can cause the
device to have an incorrect output voltage. Proper PC board layout techniques can help to achieve a noise free voltage at the RF
high pin.
MODES OF OPERATION:
Under heavy loads, the MSK 5040 operates in full PWM mode. Each pulse from the oscillator sets the internal PWM latch that
turns on the high-side MOSFET. As the high-switch turns off, the synchronous rectifier latch is set. 60ns later the low-side
MOSFET turns on until the start of the next clock cycle or until the inductor current crosses zero. Under fault conditions the current
exceeds the ±100mV current-limit threshold and the high-side switch turns off.
At light loads the inductor current does not exceed the 30mV threshold set by the minimum-current comparator. When this
occurs, the MSK 5040 goes into idle mode, skipping most of the oscillator pulses in order to reduce the switching frequency and
cut back gate-charge losses. The oscillator is gated off at light loads because the minimum-current comparator immediately resets
the high-side latch at the start of each cycle. Refer to Table 1 for the operational characteristics.
