The parts are available with adjustable output voltages ranging from 2.5V to 5.0V. They are able to start up with input voltages as low as 0.8V and operate with input voltages down to 0.5V. With its internal synchronous rectifier and low on-resistance of the internal NMOS switch, the devices maintain high efficiency over a wide range of load current. As shown in the Block Diagram, the PS0020 consists of accurate band gap core, error amplifier, start-up oscillator and control logic unit along with PMOS and NMOS switches. With current mode PWM control, the PS0020 has ultra-fast line and improved load regulation. Moreover, the PS0020 provides real shutdown circuitry, which disconnects the output from the input in shutdown and results in discharge of the output to ground. Start-Up Mode: The PS0020 will start up typically at 0.8V. When it is turned-on, the device gets its start up bias from Vin. A start-up oscillator, which runs typically at 100 KHz, brings the output voltage high enough so that Vout exceeds Vin. Once Vout exceeds Vin, internal bias switches from Vin to Vout by an internal biasselect circuit. Thus, once started (i.e. Vout exceeds Vin), internal circuit bias is completely independent of Vin. The start-up oscillator runs at 66% duty cycle around 100KHz. Once Vout exceeds Vin (typically 1.9V), the start-up oscillator is disabled and the normal fixed Ton PWM operation takes over. Internal PMOS and NMOS switches The PS0020 features a 0.45Ω NMOS switch and a 0.6Ω PMOS switch. In normal operation these switches are alternatively turned-on and thus initiate charging of the inductor from Vin and then discharging of it to the output capacitor and the load. However, between the event of one switch turning-off and the other turning-on, a dead time is provided to avoid huge in-rush current from output to ground via switches. In the dead time, both switches remain off and the inductor discharges via body diode of the PMOS switch to the output. Version 1.1 July 6, 2007 True Shutdown Mode The PS0020 is designed to allow the true shutdown by managing the body diode of the PMOS switch. As the PMOS switch is turned off and there is no conductive path through the body of the PMOS, the output is allowed to go to zero during shutdown, drawing zero current from the input. Output Voltage Selection The PS0020A features a user-adjustable output through an external feedback network. A voltage divider from Vout to ground programs the output voltage via FB from 2.5V to 5V using the following equation: Vout=Vref*[1+(R1/R2)] Where, Vref=1V Thermal Overload Protection Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipation in the PS0020. When the junction temperature exceeds TJ = +145°C, the thermal sensor signals the shutdown logic and turns off most of the internal circuitry. The thermal sensor turns internal circuitry on again after the IC’s junction temperature drops by 15°C. Thermal-Overload protection is designed to protect the PS0020 in the event of a fault condition. For continual operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature rating of TJ = +125°C. Current Limit and Short Circuit Protection The PS0020 includes a current limiter that monitors the peak inductor current through the NMOS switch and turns the NOMS switch off when the inductor peak current exceeds 300mA. Because of its true shutdown feature, the IC is allowed to be shortcircuited. The thermal shutdown turns off the regulator in case of excessive heating, when the die temperature reaches 145°C. www.picsemi.com © 2007 Power IC. All Rights Reserved. 7 PS0020 Light Load Operation The PS0020 provides improved light load efficiency. The internal zero current comparator monitors the inductor current to the load and shuts off the PMOS switch once this current reduces to some low value (50mA, typically). This prevents the inductor current from reversing its polarity, avoiding backcharging and thus improving efficiency at light load. At that time, both the NMOS and PMOS switches remain off. However, normal operation starts again when the output voltage falls below the regulation point. The IC automatically skips pulses at light load, providing better efficiency. Anti-ringing Control When inductor current goes to zero, there arises a high frequency ringing of SW pin. To prevent this phenomenon, a 100Ω discharge switch is provided between SW and VIN, so that this high frequency ringing is damped out. Under Voltage Lockout When the supply goes too low (below 1.8V typ), the PS0020 produces an internal UVLO (under voltage lockout) signal that disables the normal PWM operation and enables the start-up oscillator to run at a fixed frequency. At that time, very few circuits are operational. When the oscillator raises the supply above 1.9V, UVLO signal is disabled and the normal PWM mode takes over the start-up oscillator operation. This mechanism protects the chip from producing false logic due to low input supply. Version 1.1 July 6, 2007 Enable Input The PS0020 features an active-high CMOS input enable pin (SHUTB) that allows on/off control of the regulator. When SHUTB=Low, shutdown of the chip occurs and at that time almost no quiescent current (<1μA) flows. Output capacitor can be completely discharged through the load or the feedback resistors for real output shut down. A discharge switch is internally connected between Vin and SW. The Enable (SHUTB) input threshold is TTL/CMOS compatible. Connect SHUTB to Vin for normal operation. Track Mode The PS0020 is in track mode when Vin is greater than the output voltage regulation point (in abnormal boost converter operation). In track mode, the regulator runs at fixed start-up oscillator frequency. The start-up oscillator runs freely until Vout exceeds Vin. When Vout falls below Vin, the start-up oscillator is enabled again. Thus in track mode, normal loop control of PWM operation remains off, rather the regulator runs by intermittent oscillator operation. www.picsemi.com © 2007 Power IC.
