SM74304
High Voltage (80V) Step Down Switching Regulator
General Description
Features
The SM74304 Step Down Switching Regulator features all of
the functions needed to implement low cost, efficient, Buck
bias regulators. This high voltage regulator contains an 80 V,
0.7A N-Channel Buck Switch. The device is easy to apply and
is provided in the MSOP-8 and the thermally enhanced LLP-8
packages. The regulator is based on a hysteretic control
scheme using an on time inversely proportional to VIN. This
feature allows the operating frequency to remain relatively
constant with load and input voltage variations. The hysteretic
control requires no control loop compensation, while providing very fast load transient response. An intelligent current
limit is implemented in the SM74304 with forced off time that
is inversely proportional to VOUT. This current limiting scheme
reduces load current foldback. Additional protection features
include: Thermal Shutdown, Vcc undervoltage lockout, gate
drive undervoltage lockout, and Max Duty Cycle limiter.

SM74304
In continuous conduction mode, current flows continuously
through the inductor and never ramps down to zero. In this
mode the operating frequency is greater than the discontinuous mode frequency and remains relatively constant with load
and line variations. The approximate continuous mode operating frequency can be calculated as follows:
Detailed Operating Description
The SM74304 Step Down Switching Regulator features all of
the functions needed to implement low cost, efficient, Buck
bias regulators. This high voltage regulator contains an 80V,
0.7A N-Channel Buck Switch. The device is easy to apply and
is provided in the MSOP-8 and the thermally enhanced LLP-8
packages. The regulator is based on a hysteretic control
scheme using an on time inversely proportional to Vin. This
feature allows the operating frequency to remain relatively
constant with load and input voltage variations. The hysteretic
control requires no control loop compensation, while providing very fast load transient response. An intelligent current
limit scheme is implemented in the SM74304 with forced off
time, after current limit detection, which is inversely proportional to Vout. This current limiting scheme reduces load
current foldback. Additional protection features include: Thermal Shutdown, Vcc undervoltage lockout, Gate drive undervoltage lockout and Max Duty Cycle limiter. The SM74304
can be applied in numerous applications to efficiently regulate
step down higher voltage inputs. This regulator is well suited
for photovoltaic electronics, 48 Volt Telecom, and the new
42V Automotive power bus ranges.
The output voltage (Vout) can be programmed by two external
resistors as shown in Figure 1. The regulation point can be
calculated as follows:
VOUT = 2.5 x (R1 + R2) / R2
The feedback comparator in hysteretic regulators depend upon the output ripple voltage to switch the output transistor on
and off at regular intervals. In order for the internal comparator
to respond quickly to changes in output voltage, proportional
to inductor current, a minimum amount of capacitor Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) is required. A ripple voltage of
25mV to 50mV is recommended at the feedback pin (FB) for
stable operation. In cases where the intrinsic capacitor ESR
is too small, additional series resistance may be added.
For applications where lower output voltage ripple is required
the load can be connected directly to the low ESR output capacitor, as shown in Figure 1. The series resistor (R) will
degrade the load regulation. Another technique for enhancing
the ripple voltage at the FB pin is to place a capacitor in parallel with the feedback divider resistor R1. The addition of the
capacitor reduces the attenuation of the ripple voltage from
the feedback divider
Hysteretic Control Circuit Overview
The SM74304 is a Buck DC-DC regulator that uses an on time
control scheme. The on time is programmed by an external
resistor and varies inversely with line input voltage (Vin). The
core regulation elements of the SM74304 are the feedback
comparator and the on time one-shot. The regulator output
voltage is sensed at the feedback pin (FB) and is compared
to an internal reference voltage (2.5V). If the FB signal is below the reference voltage, the buck switch is turned on for a
fixed time pulse determined by the line voltage and a programming resistor (RON). Following the on period the switch
will remain off for at least the minimum off timer period of
300ns. If the FB pin voltage is still below the reference after
the 300ns off time, the switch will turn on again for another on
time period. This switching behavior will continue until the FB
pin voltage reaches the reference voltage level.
The SM74304 operates in discontinuous conduction mode at
light load currents or continuous conduction mode at heavier
load currents. In discontinuous conduction mode, current
through the output inductor starts at zero and ramps up to a
peak value during the buck switch on time and then back to
zero during the off time. The inductor current remains at zero
until the next on time period starts when FB falls below the
internal reference. In discontinuous mode the operating frequency can be relatively low and will vary with load. Therefore
at light loads the conversion efficiency is maintained, since
the switching losses decrease with the reduction in load current and switching frequency. The approximate discontinuous
mode operating frequency can be calculated as follows:

High Voltage Bias Regulator
The SM74304 contains an internal high voltage bias regulator. The input pin (Vin) can be connected directly to line
voltages from 9 to 75 Volts. To avoid supply voltage transients
due to long lead inductances on the input pin (Vin Pin 8), it is
always recommended to connect low ESR ceramic chip capacitor (≊ 0.1µF) between "Vin" pin and "RTN" pin (pin 4),
located close to SM74304. The regulator is internally current
limited to 10mA. Upon power up, the regulator is enabled and
sources current into an external capacitor connected to the
Vcc pin. When the voltage on the Vcc pin reaches the regulation point of 7V, the controller output is enabled.
An external auxiliary supply voltage can be applied to the Vcc
pin. If the auxiliary voltage is greater than 7 Volts the internal
regulator will essentially shutoff, thus reducing internal power
dissipation.

resistor and into the Ron terminal is approximately proportional to Vin and used internally to control the on timer. This
scheme of input voltage feed-forward hysteretic operation
achieves nearly constant operational frequency over varying
line and load conditions. The on time equation for the
SM74304 is :
Over-Voltage Comparator
The over-voltage comparator is provided to protect the output
from overvoltage conditions due to sudden input line voltage
changes or output loading changes. The over-voltage comparator monitors the FB pin versus an internal 2.875V reference (OV_REF). If the voltage at FB rises above OV_REF the
comparator immediately terminates the buck switch on time
pulse.
Ton = 1.42 x 10-10 x RON / VIN
The RON pin of the SM74304 also provides a shutdown function which disables the regulator and significantly decreases
quiescent power dissipation. By pulling the RON pin to below
0.7V logic threshold activates the low power shutdown mode.
The VIN quiescent current in the shutdown mode is approximately 100µA internal to the SM74304 plus the current in the
RON resistor.
ON Time generator and Shutdown
The on time of the SM74304 is set inversely proportional to
the input voltage by an external resistor connected between
Ron and Vin. The Ron terminal is a low impedance input biased at approximately 1.5V. Thus the current through the

FIGURE 3. Shutdown Implementation
Current Limit
The SM74304 contains an intelligent current limit off timer intended to reduce the foldback characteristic inherent with
fixed off-time over-current protection. If the current in the Buck
switch exceeds 725mA the present cycle on time is immediately terminated (cycle by cycle current limit). Following the
termination of the cycle a non-resetable current limit off timer
is initiated. The duration of the off time is a function of the
external resistor (RCI) and the FB pin voltage. When the FB
pin voltage equals zero, the current limit off time is internally
preset to 17uS. This condition occurs in short circuit operation
when a maximum amount of off time is required.
In cases of overload (not complete short circuit) the current
limit off time can be reduced as a function of the output voltage
(measured at the FB pin). Reducing the off time with smaller
overloads reduces the amount of foldback and also reduces
the initial start-up time. The current limit off time for a given
FB pin voltage and RCI resistor can be calculated by the following equation:
www.national.com
Applications utilizing low resistance inductors and/or a low
voltage drop rectifier may require special evaluation at high
line, short circuit conditions. In this special case the preset
17uS (FB = 0V) off time may be insufficient to balance the
inductor volt*time product. Additional inductor resistance, output resistance or a larger voltage drop rectifier may be necessary to balance the inductor cycle volt*time product and
limit the short circuit current.
N - Channel Buck Switch and Driver
The SM74304 integrates an N-Channel Buck switch and associated floating high voltage gate driver. This gate driver
circuit works in conjunction with an external bootstrap capacitor and an internal high voltage diode. The bootstrap capacitor is charged by VCC through the internal high voltage diode.
A 0.01uF ceramic capacitor connected between the BST pin
and SW pin is recommended.

ature is exceeded. When thermal protection is activated,
typically at 165 degrees Celsius, the controller is forced into
a low power reset state, disabling the output driver. This feature is provided to prevent catastrophic failures from accidental device overheating.
Minimum Load Current
A minimum load current of 1 mA is required to maintain proper
operation. If the load current falls below that level, the bootstrap capacitor may discharge during the long off-time, and
the circuit will either shutdown, or cycle on and off at a low
frequency. If the load current is expected to drop below 1 mA
in the application, the feedback resistors should be chosen
low enough in value so they provide the minimum required
current at nominal Vout.
Thermal Protection
Internal Thermal Shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the
integrated circuit in the event the maximum junction temper-

SM74304
During each cycle when the Buck switch turns off, the SW pin
is approximately 0V. When the SW pin voltage is low, the
bootstrap capacitor will be charged from Vcc through the internal diode. The minimum off timer, set to 300ns, ensures
that there will be a minimum interval every cycle to recharge
the bootstrap capacitor.
An external re-circulating diode from the SW pin to ground is
necessary to carry the inductor current after the internal Buck
switch turns off. This external diode must be of the Ultra-fast
or Schottky type to reduce turn-on losses and current overshoot. The reverse voltage rating of the re-circulating diode
must be greater than the maximum line input voltage.
