NCP1597A
1 MHz, 2.0 A Synchronous
Buck Regulator
The NCP1597A family are fixed 1 MHz, high−output−current,
synchronous PWM converters that integrate a low−resistance,
high−side P−channel MOSFET and a low−side N−channel MOSFET.
The NCP1597A utilizes current mode control to provide fast transient
response and excellent loop stability. It regulates input voltages from
4.0 V to 5.5 V down to an output voltage as low as 0.8 V and is able to
supply up to 2.0 A.
The NCP1597A includes an internally fixed switching frequency
(FSW), and an internal soft−start to limit inrush currents. Using the EN
pin, shutdown supply current is reduced to 3 mA maximum.
Other features include cycle−by−cycle current limiting,
short−circuit protection, power saving mode and thermal shutdown.

NCP1597A
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Overview
delivering up to 2.0 A of current. When the controller is
disabled or during a Fault condition, the controller’s output
stage is tri−stated by turning OFF both the upper and lower
MOSFETs.
The NCP1597A is a synchronous PWM controller that
incorporates all the control and protection circuitry
necessary to satisfy a wide range of applications. The
NCP1597A employs current mode control to provide fast
transient response, simple compensation, and excellent
stability. The features of the NCP1597A include a precision
reference, fixed 1 MHz switching frequency, a
transconductance error amplifier, an integrated high−side
P−channel MOSFET and low−side N−Channel MOSFET,
internal soft−start, and very low shutdown current. The
protection features of the NCP1597A include internal
soft−start, pulse−by−pulse current limit, and thermal
shutdown.
Adaptive Dead Time Gate Driver
In a synchronous buck converter, a certain dead time is
required between the low side drive signal and high side
drive signal to avoid shoot through. During the dead time,
the body diode of the low side FET freewheels the current.
The body diode has much higher voltage drop than that of
the MOSFET, which reduces the efficiency significantly.
The longer the body diode conducts, the lower the
efficiency. In NCP1597A, the drivers and MOSFETs are
integrated in a single chip. The parasitic inductance is
minimized. Adaptive dead time control method is used in
NCP1597A to prevent the shoot through from happening
and minimizing the diode conduction loss at the same time.
Reference Voltage
The NCP1597A incorporates an internal reference that
allows output voltages as low as 0.8 V. The tolerance of the
internal reference is guaranteed over the entire operating
temperature range of the controller. The reference voltage is
trimmed using a test configuration that accounts for error
amplifier offset and bias currents.
Pulse Width Modulation
A high−speed PWM comparator, capable of pulse widths
as low as 50 ns, is included in the NCP1597A. The inverting
input of the comparator is connected to the output of the
error amplifier. The non−inverting input is connected to the
the current sense signal. At the beginning of each PWM
cycle, the CLK signal sets the PWM flip−flop and the upper
MOSFET is turned ON. When the current sense signal rises
above the error amplifier’s voltage then the comparator will
reset the PWM flip−flop and the upper MOSFET will be
turned OFF.
Oscillator Frequency
A fixed precision oscillator is provided. The oscillator
frequency range is 1 MHz with $13% variation.
Transconductance Error Amplifier
The transconductance error amplifier’s primary function
is to regulate the converter’s output voltage using a resistor
divider connected from the converter’s output to the FB pin
of the controller, as shown in the applications Schematic. If
a Fault occurs, the amplifier’s output is immediately pulled
to GND and PWM switching is inhibited.
Power Save Mode
If the load current decreases, the converter will enter
power save mode operation automatically. During power
save mode, the converter skips switching and operates with
reduced frequency, which minimizes the quiescent current
and maintain high efficiency.
Internal Soft−Start
To limit the startup inrush current, an internal soft start
circuit is used to ramp up the reference voltage from 0 V to
its final value linearly. The internal soft start time is 1 ms
typically.
Current Sense
The NCP1597A monitors the current in the upper
MOSFET. The current signal is required by the PWM
comparator and the pulse−by−pulse current limiter.
Output MOSFETs
The NCP1597A includes low RDS(on), both high−side
P−channel and low−side N−channel MOSFETs capable of

PROTECTIONS
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
overcurrent detection while charging the output capacitors.
Hiccup mode reduces input supply current and power
dissipation during a short circuit. It also allows for much
improved system up−time, allowing auto−restart upon
removal of a temporary short−circuit.
The under voltage lockout feature prevents the controller
from switching when the input voltage is too low to power
the internal power supplies and reference. Hysteresis must
be incorporated in the UVLO comparator to prevent IxR
drops in the wiring or PCB traces from causing ON/OFF
cycling of the controller during heavy loading at power up
or power down.
Pre−Bias Startup
In some applications the controller will be required to start
switching when it’s output capacitors are charged anywhere
from slightly above 0 V to just below the regulation voltage.
This situation occurs for a number of reasons: the
converter’s output capacitors may have residual charge on
them or the converter’s output may be held up by a low
current standby power supply. NCP1597A supports
pre−bias start up by holding Low side FETs off till soft start
ramp reaches the FB Pin voltage.
Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
NCP1597A detects high side switch current and then
compares to a voltage level representing the overcurrent
threshold limit. If the current through the high side FET
exceeds the overcurrent threshold limit for seven
consecutive switching cycles, overcurrent protection is
triggered.
Once the overcurrent protection occurs, hiccup mode
engages. First, hiccup mode, turns off both FETs and
discharges the internal compensation network at the output
of the OTA. Next, the IC waits typically 2 ms and then resets
the overcurrent counter. After this reset, the circuit attempts
another normal soft−start. During soft−start, the overcurrent
protection threshold is increased to prevent false
Thermal Shutdown
The NCP1597A protects itself from over heating with an
internal thermal monitoring circuit. If the junction
temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown threshold both
the upper and lower MOSFETs will be shut OFF.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Programming the Output Voltage
The output voltage is set using a resistive voltage divider
from the output voltage to FB pin (see Figure 25). So the
output voltage is calculated according to Eq.1.
V out + V FB @

C OUT(min) +
(eq. 3)

Where Vripple is the allowed output voltage ripple.
The required ESR for this amount of ripple can be
calculated by equation 5.

Based on Equation 2 to choose capacitor and check its
ESR according to Equation 3. If ESR exceeds the value from
Eq.4, multiple capacitors should be used in parallel.
Ceramic capacitor can be used in most of the applications.
In addition, both surface mount tantalum and through−hole
aluminum electrolytic capacitors can be used as well.

Maximum Output Capacitor
NCP1597A family has internal 1 ms fixed soft−start and
overcurrent limit. It limits the maximum allowed output
capacitor to startup successfully. The maximum allowed
output capacitor can be determined by the equation:
Figure 25. Output divider
Inductor Selection
The inductor is the key component in the switching
regulator. The selection of inductor involves trade−offs
among size, cost and efficiency. The inductor value is
selected according to the equation 2.

(eq. 5)
Where TSS(min) is the minimum soft−start period (1ms);
DiPP is the current ripple.
This is assuming that a constant load is connected. For
example, with 3.3 V/2.0 A output and 20% ripple, the max
allowed output capacitors is 546 mF.
(eq. 2)
Where Vout − the output voltage;
f − switching frequency, 1.0 MHz;
Iripple − Ripple current, usually it’s 20% − 30% of output
current;
Vin(max) − maximum input voltage.
Choose a standard value close to the calculated value to
maintain a maximum ripple current within 30% of the
maximum load current. If the ripple current exceeds this
30% limit, the next larger value should be selected.
The inductor’s RMS current rating must be greater than
the maximum load current and its saturation current should
be about 30% higher. For robust operation in fault conditions
(start−up or short circuit), the saturation current should be
high enough. To keep the efficiency high, the series
resistance (DCR) should be less than 0.1 W, and the core
material should be intended for high frequency applications.
Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor can be calculated by Equation 6.

Power Dissipation
The NCP1597A is available in a thermally enhanced
6−pin, DFN package. When the die temperature reaches
+185°C, the NCP1597A shuts down (see the
Thermal−Overload Protection section). The power
dissipated in the device is the sum of the power dissipated
from supply current (PQ), power dissipated due to switching
the internal power MOSFET (PSW), and the power
dissipated due to the RMS current through the internal
power MOSFET (PON). The total power dissipated in the
package must be limited so the junction temperature does
not exceed its absolute maximum rating of +150°C at
Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor acts to smooth the dc output voltage
and also provides energy storage. So the major parameter
necessary to define the output capacitor is the maximum
allowed output voltage ripple of the converter. This ripple is
related to capacitance and the ESR. The minimum
capacitance required for a certain output ripple can be
calculated by Equation 4.

Layout Consideration
As with all high frequency switchers, when considering
layout, care must be taken in order to achieve optimal
electrical, thermal and noise performance. For 1.0MHz
switching frequency, switch rise and fall times are typically
in few nanosecond range. To prevent noise both radiated and
conducted the high speed switching current path must be
kept as short as possible. Shortening the current path will
also reduce the parasitic trace inductance of approximately
25 nH/inch. At switch off, this parasitic inductance
produces a flyback spike across the NCP1597A switch.
When operating at higher currents and input voltages, with
poor layout, this spike can generate voltages across the
NCP1597A that may exceed its absolute maximum rating.
A ground plane should always be used under the switcher
circuitry to prevent interplane coupling and overall noise.
The FB component should be kept as far away as possible
from the switch node. The ground for these components
should be separated from the switch current path. Failure to
do so will result in poor stability or subharmonic like
oscillation.
Board layout also has a significant effect on thermal
resistance. Reducing the thermal resistance from ground pin
and exposed pad onto the board will reduce die temperature
and increase the power capability of the NCP1597A. This is
achieved by providing as much copper area as possible
around the exposed pad. Adding multiple thermal vias under
and around this pad to an internal ground plane will also
help. Similar treatment to the inductor pads will reduce any
additional heating effects.

The switching loss for the low side MOSFET can be
ignored.
The power lost due to the quiescent current (IQ) of the device
is:
