Rev. 1.5 1/14/99 4-7 US3033 APPLICATION INFORMATION tor for the I/O supply provide a complete dual supply power soloution. Introduction LDO Section The US3033 device is an application specific product designed to provide an on board dual supply for the new generation of microprocessors requiring separate Core and I/O supplies. One of the processors fitting this requirement is the new Intel P55C multimedia microprocessor. Intel specifies a Core voltage of 2.8V nominal (±100mV max) with maximum Core supply current of 6A while the I/O supply is set for 3.3V with a maximum I/O current of 0.65A. However in most applications the I/ O regulator also provides the voltage for other IC functions such as the chip set ,Cache,....etc. Typically a low cost solution such as a Low Dropout Linear Regulator (LDO) is selected to provide the I/O supply with the maximum designed current of 3A , keeping the power dissipation and the heat sink to a reasonable size. The Core supply regulator however if also selected to be a linear regulator , will be dissipating a maximum of 12.6W ((5V-2.8V)X5.7A) of power, which requires a substantial amount of heat sinking and perhaps forced air cooling in order to keep it operational. Some manufacturers suggest using two regulators to current share and therefore distribute the power dissipation equally between the regulators. The problem is that , in order to equally current share you need to sense both currents and force the slave regulator to match the master regulator. This can be done , but at the cost of the circuit complexity and much higher system cost and the total power dissipation is still the same. In fact, if the task is to design a flexible motherboard to accommodate the Cyrix 6X86L or their future MMX processors as well, then the power dissipation could easily reach 20W or more. At this power dissipation level the choice for a switching regulator approach becomes evident. However the main reason that designers have always shied away from the switching regulators is their higher price tag and more complex circuit design that is associated with this kind of technique. The US3033 device is designed to take advantage of the high efficiency of the switching regulator technique for the Core supply while maintaining the low cost LDO regulator for the I/O supply by offering both control functions in a single 8 pin surface mount package. In fact as the typical application circuit shows, one can design a complete flexible motherboard using the US3033 and a few external components yielding a very low component count switching regulator and with an addition of a low cost pass transis- The output voltage of the LDO regulator is externally programmable via 2 external resistors from 1.25V to 5V. The internal voltage reference of the The LDO regulator is set to 1.25V and the output of the regulator can be programmed using the following formula: Vout=(1+R1/R2)xVref Where Vref=1.25V Typical R1=Resistor connected from Vout to the Vfb2 pin of US3033 R2=Resistor connected from Vfb2 pin to GND. The US3033 requires the use of an output capacitor as part of the frequency compensation in order to be stable. Typical designs for the microprocessor applications use standard electrolytic capacitors with typical ESR in the range of 50 to 100 mΩ and an output capacitance of 500 to 1000uF. Fortunately as the capacitance increases, the ESR decreases resulting in a fixed RC time constant. The US3033 takes advantage of this phenomena in making the overall regulator loop stable. For most applications a minimum of 100uF aluminum electrolytic capacitor such as Sanyo, MVGX series ,Panasonic FA series or Nichicon PL series insures both stability and good transient response. An external filtering is suggested as shown in the application circuit that reduces the switching ripple that might show in the output of the LDO regulator. 4-8 Switching Controller Operation The operation of the switching controller is as follows : after the power is applied, the output drive, "Drv1" goes to 100% duty cycle and the the current in the inductor charges the output capacitor causing the output voltage to increase. When output reaches a pre-programmed set point the feedback pin "Fb1" exceeds 1.25V causing the output drive to switch low and the "Vhyst" pin to switch high which jumps the feedback pin higher than 1.25V resulting in a fixed output ripple which is given by the following equation : ∆Vo=(Rt/Rh)x11 Where: Rt=Top resistor of the output divider, resistor connected from Vout to the Vfb1 pin of US3033 Rh=Bottom resistor of the divider, resistor connected from Vfb1 pin to Vhyst pin. For example, if Rt=1k and Rh=422k, then the output ripple is : ∆Vo=(1/422)x11=26mV Rev. 1.5 1/14/99 US3033 The advantage of fixed output ripple is that when the output voltage changes from 2V to 3.5V, the ripple voltage remains the same which is important in meeting the Intel maximum tolerance specification. Switcher Output Voltage Setting The output voltage of the switcher can be set using the following equations. Assuming , Vo=3.38V and the selected output ripple is ≈ 1.3%(44mV) of the output voltage, a set of equations are derived that selects the resistor divider and the hysterises resistor. Assuming, Rt=1kΩ , 1% Rh=(11*Rt)/∆Vo Where: Rt=Top resistor of the resistor divider Rh=Hysterises resistor connected between pins 3 and 4 of the US3033 ∆Vo=Selected output ripple (typically 1% to 2% of output voltage) Assuming, ∆Vo=44mV Rh=(11*1000)/0.044=250 kΩ Select Rh=249 kΩ , 1% The bottom resistor of the divider is then calculated using the following equations: Rb=Rt/X Where: Rb=Bottom resistor of the divider X=[(Vo + (∆Vo/2))/Vref] - 1 Vref=1.25 V typ. X=[(3.38+ (0.044/2))/1.25] - 1 = 1.72 Rb=1000/1.72=580 Ω Select Rb=576 Ω , 1% Frequency Calculation The US3033 frequency of operation is calculated using the following formula: Fs=[(Vo*(1-D)*ESR)]/(L*∆Vo) (MHz) Where: Vo=Output voltage (V) D=Duty cycle ESR=Output capacitor ESR (V) L=Output inductance (uH) ∆Vo=Output ripple voltage (V) For our example: D≈(Vo + Vf)/Vin Where, Vf=Forward voltage drop of the Schotky diode D=(3.38 + 0.5)/5=0.78 The ESR=18mΩ for 2 of the Sanyo 1500uF, 6MV1500GX caps. If L=3.5uH then, Fs is calculated as follows: Fs=[(3.38*(1-0.78)*0.018)]/(3.5*0.044)= 0.087 Mhz = 87 kHz Rev. 1.5 1/14/99 4-9
