the current limit with a resistor from ISNS to GND, with R =
VCL / Ilimit.
If the voltage across the current sense resistor exceeds the
over current threshold voltage, the device enters over
current hiccup mode. The device will remain off for the
hiccup time and then go through the soft−start procedure.
Current Mode Control
The NCV898031 incorporates a current mode control
scheme, in which the PWM ramp signal is derived from the
power switch current. This ramp signal is compared to the
output of the error amplifier to control the on−time of the
power switch. The oscillator is used as a fixed−frequency
clock to ensure a constant operational frequency. The
resulting control scheme features several advantages over
conventional voltage mode control. First, derived directly
from the inductor, the ramp signal responds immediately to
line voltage changes. This eliminates the delay caused by the
output filter and the error amplifier, which is commonly
found in voltage mode controllers. The second benefit
comes from inherent pulse−by−pulse current limiting by
merely clamping the peak switching current. Finally, since
current mode commands an output current rather than
voltage, the filter offers only a single pole to the feedback
loop. This allows for a simpler compensation.
The NCV898031 also includes a slope compensation
scheme in which a fixed ramp generated by the oscillator is
added to the current ramp. A proper slope rate is provided to
improve circuit stability without sacrificing the advantages
of current mode control.
Short Circuit Protection
If the short circuit enable bit is set (SCE = Y), the device
will attempt to protect the power MOSFET from damage.
When the output voltage falls below the short circuit trip
voltage, after the initial short circuit blanking time, the
device enters short circuit latch−off. The device will remain
off for the hiccup time and then go through the soft−start.
Enable
The Enable pin has two modes. When a DC logic high
(CMOS/TTL compatible) voltage is applied to this pin, the
NCV898031 operates at the programmed frequency. When
a DC logic low voltage is applied, the NCV898031 enters a
low quiescent current sleep mode. The NCV898031
requires 2 clock cycles after the falling edge of the Enable
signal to stop switching.
UVLO
Current Limit
Input Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) is provided to
ensure that unexpected behavior does not occur when VIN
is too low to support the internal rails and power the
controller. The IC will start up when enabled and VIN
surpasses the UVLO threshold plus the UVLO hysteresis
and will shut down when VIN drops below the UVLO
threshold or the part is disabled.
The NCV898031 features two current limit protections,
peak current mode and over current latch off. When the
current sense amplifier detects a voltage above the peak
current limit between ISNS and GND after the current limit
leading edge blanking time, the peak current limit causes the
power switch to turn off for the remainder of the cycle. Set

Internal Soft-Start
VDRV
To insure moderate inrush current and reduce output
overshoot, the NCV898031 features a soft start which
charges a capacitor with a fixed current to ramp up the
reference voltage.
An internal regulator provides the drive voltage for the
gate driver. Bypass with a ceramic capacitor to ground to
ensure fast turn on times. The capacitor should be between
0.1 mF and 1 mF, depending on switching speed and charge
requirements of the external MOSFET.

This section details an overview of the component
selection process for the NCV898031 in continuous
conduction mode SEPIC. It is intended to assist with the
design process but does not remove all engineering design
work. Many of the equations make heavy use of the small

Both duty cycles will actually be higher due to power loss
in the conversion. The exact duty cycles will depend on
conduction and switching losses.
If the calculated DWC (worst case) is higher than the Dmax
limit of the NCV898031, the conversion will not be
possible. It is important for a SEPIC converter to have a
restricted Dmax, because while the ideal conversion ratio of
a SEPIC converter goes up to infinity as D approaches 1, a
real converter’s conversion ratio starts to decrease as losses
overtake the increased power transfer. If the converter is in
this range it will not be able to regulate properly.
If the following equation is not satisfied, the device will
skip pulses at high VIN:
Define Operational Parameters
Before beginning the design, define the operating
parameters of the application. These include:
VIN(min): minimum input voltage [V]

Select Current Sense Resistor
Current mode control helps resolve some of the resonant
frequencies that create issues in voltage mode SEPIC
converter designs, but some resonance issues may occur. A
resonant frequency exists at
Current sensing for peak current mode control and current
limit relies on the MOSFET current signal, which is
measured with a ground referenced amplifier. Note that the
ICL equals the sum of the currents from both inductors. The
easiest method of generating this signal is to use a current
sense resistor from the source of the MOSFET to device
ground. The sense resistor should be selected as follows:
RS +
f resonance +
It may become necessary to place an RC damping network
in parallel with the coupling capacitor if the resonance is
within ~1 decade of the closed−loop crossover frequency.
The capacitance of the damping capacitor should be ~5
times that of the coupling capacitor. The optimal damping
resistance (including the ESR of the damping capacitor) is
calculated as
V CL
I CL
Where: RS: sense resistor [W]
VCL: current limit threshold voltage [V]
ICL: desire current limit [A]
Select Coupling Inductors
R damping +
The output inductor controls the current ripple that occurs
over a switching period. A high current ripple will result in
excessive power loss and ripple current requirements. A low
current ripple will result in a poor control signal and a slow
current slew rate in case of load steps. A good starting point
for peak to peak ripple is around 20−40% of the inductor
current at the maximum load at the worst case VIN, but
operation should be verified empirically. The worst case VIN
is half of VOUT, or whatever VIN is closest to half of VIN.
After choosing a peak current ripple value, calculate the
inductor value as follows:

The output capacitors smooth the output voltage and

Coupling capacitor RMS current is significant. A low

Selecting a capacitor value too low will result in high
capacitor ripple voltage which will distort ripple current and
diminish input line regulation capability. Budgeting 2−5%
coupling capacitor ripple voltage is a reasonable guideline.
The feedback resistors form a resistor divider from the
output of the converter to ground, with a tap to the feedback
pin. During regulation, the divided voltage will equal Vref.

ICL: desired typical cycle−by−cycle current limit [A]
From this the ideal minimum and maximum duty cycles can
be calculated as follows:
D min + 1 *
D WC + 1 *
V CL
I CL
Select Output Inductor
The output inductor controls the current ripple that occurs
over a switching period. A high current ripple will result in
excessive power loss and ripple current requirements. A low
current ripple will result in a poor control signal and a slow
current slew rate in case of load steps. A good starting point
for peak to peak ripple is around 20−40% of the inductor
current at the maximum load at the worst case VIN, but
operation should be verified empirically. The worst case VIN
is half of VOUT, or whatever VIN is closest to half of VIN.
After choosing a peak current ripple value, calculate the
inductor value as follows:
V IN(max)
V OUT
V IN(WC)
V OUT
Both duty cycles will actually be higher due to power loss
in the conversion. The exact duty cycles will depend on
conduction and switching losses. If the maximum input
voltage is higher than the output voltage, the minimum duty
cycle will be negative. This is because a boost converter
cannot have an output lower than the input. In situations
where the input is higher than the output, the output will
follow the input, minus the diode drop of the output diode
and the converter will not attempt to switch.
If the calculated DWC is higher than the Dmax limit of the
NCV898031, the conversion will not be possible. It is
important for a boost converter to have a restricted Dmax,
because while the ideal conversion ratio of a boost converter
goes up to infinity as D approaches 1, a real converter’s
conversion ratio starts to decrease as losses overtake the
increased power transfer. If the converter is in this range it
will not be able to regulate properly.

Select Output Capacitors
Select MOSFET(s)
The output capacitors smooth the output voltage and
reduce the overshoot and undershoot associated with line
transients. The steady state output ripple associated with the
output capacitors can be calculated as follows:
In order to ensure the gate drive voltage does not drop out
the MOSFET(s) chosen must not violate the following
inequality:
Q g(total) v
V OUT(ripple) +
I OUT(max)(V OUT * V IN(WC))

Where: Qg(total): Total Gate Charge of MOSFET(s) [C]
Idrv: Drive voltage current [A]
fs: Switching Frequency [Hz]
The maximum RMS Current can be calculated as follows:
I OUT(max)V OUTR ESR
V IN(WC)
The capacitors need to survive an RMS ripple current as
follows:
I Cout(RMS) + I OUT

I D(max) + I out

DȀ WC
The maximum voltage across the MOSFET will be the
maximum output voltage, which is the higher of the
maximum input voltage and the regulated output voltaged:
The use of parallel ceramic bypass capacitors is strongly
encouraged to help with the transient response.
V Q(max) + V OUT(WC)
Select Input Capacitors
The input capacitor reduces voltage ripple on the input to
the module associated with the ac component of the input
current.

Select Diode
The output diode rectifies the output current. The average
current through diode will be equal to the output current:
V IN(WC) 2 D WC
I D(avg) + I OUT(max)
Lf sV OUT2 Ǹ3
Additionally, the diode must block voltage equal to the
higher of the output voltage and the maximum input voltage:
Select Feedback Resistors
V D(max) + V OUT(max)
The feedback resistors form a resistor divider from the
output of the converter to ground, with a tap to the feedback
pin. During regulation, the divided voltage will equal Vref.
The lower feedback resistor can be chosen, and the upper
feedback resistor value is calculated as follows:
R upper + R lower
The maximum power dissipation in the diode can be
calculated as follows:
P D + V f (max) I OUT(max)
Where: Pd: Power dissipation in the diode [W]
Vf(max): Maximum forward voltage of the diode [V]
ǒV out * V refǓ
V ref
The total feedback resistance (Rupper + Rlower) should be
in the range of 1 kW – 100 kW.
Low Voltage Operation
If the input voltage drops below the UVLO or MOSFET
threshold voltage, another voltage may be used to power the
device. Simply connect the voltage you would like to boost
to the inductor and connect the stable voltage to the VIN pin
of the device. In boost configuration, the output of the
converter can be used to power the device. In some cases it
may be desirable to connect 2 sources to VIN pin, which can
be accomplished simply by connecting each of the sources
through a diode to the VIN pin.
Select Compensator Components
Current Mode control method employed by the
NCV898031 allows the use of a simple, Type II
compensation to optimize the dynamic response according
to system requirements.
