X RP 6 6 5 7 1.5A 1.3MHz Synchronous Step Down Converter July 2009 Rev. 1.0.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION APPLICATIONS The XRP6657 is a high efficiency synchronous step down DC to DC converter capable of delivering up to 1.5 Amp of current and optimized for portable battery-operated applications. Operating over an input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, it provides an adjustable regulated output voltage down to 0.6V. The XRP6657 uses a constant 1.3 MHz frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme allowing for compact external components, low output voltage ripple and fixed frequency noise, while Pulse Skip Mode (PSM) is used to improve light load efficiency. A low dropout mode provides 100% duty cycle operation. The solution footprint is further reduced by a current mode internal compensation network and built-in synchronous switch removing the need for an external Schottky. Over-current and over-temperature protection insures safe operations under abnormal operating conditions. The XRP6657 is available in a compact RoHS compliant “green”/halogen free thin 6-pin DFN package. • Point of Loads • Set-Top Boxes • Portable Media Players • Hard Disk Drives FEATURES • Guaranteed 1.5A Output Current − Fixed 1.3MHz Frequency PWM Operations − Up to 95% efficiency − Input Voltage: 2.5V to 5.5V • Adjustable Output Voltage • Internal Compensation Network • No Schottky Diode Required • LDO Operation: 100% Duty Cycle • 240μA Quiescent Current (no load) • 1μA Shutdown Current • Soft Start Function • Over-current/Over-temperature Protection • “Green”/Halogen Free DFN-6 Package TYPICAL APPLICATION DIAGRAM Fig. 1: XRP6657 Application Diagram Exar Corporation 48720 Kato Road, Fremont CA 94538, USA www.exar.com Tel. +1 510 668-7000 – Fax. +1 510 668-7001 X RP 6 6 5 7 1.5A 1.3MHz Synchronous Step Down Converter ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS OPERATING RATINGS These are stress ratings only and functional operation of the device at these ratings or any other above those indicated in the operation sections of the specifications below is not implied.

The adjustable output voltage is determined by: Eq. 4: 0.6 1 SHORT CIRCUIT BEHAVIOR The XRP6657 has an over current and over temperature protection. The over current applies cycle by cycle and limits the P-driver FET current to maintain the inductor current within safe limits. The over temperature protection circuitry turns off the driver FETs when the junction temperature is too high. Normal Operations are restored when temperature drops below the safety threshold. Fig. 22: Typical Application Circuit INDUCTOR SELECTION Inductor ripple current and core saturation are two factors considered to select the inductor value. Eq. 1: ∆ In the following example, the XRP6657 is used to convert a 5V input to a 1.2V output. Shorting VOUT to ground triggers both the over current and over temperature protection circuits. The waveform is shown below. 1 Equation 1 shows the inductor ripple current as a function of the frequency, inductance, VIN and VOUT. It is recommended to set the ripple current to 40% of the maximum load current. A low ESR inductor is preferred. CIN AND COUT SELECTION A low ESR input capacitor can prevent large voltage transients at VIN. The RMS current rating of the input capacitor is required to be larger than IRMS calculated by: Eq. 2: The ESR rating of the capacitor is an important parameter to select COUT. The output ripple VOUT is determined by: Eq. 3: ∆ Fig. 23: Short Circuit Response ∆ THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS Higher values, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now available in smaller sizes. These capacitors have high ripple currents, high voltage ratings and low ESR that makes them ideal for switching regulator applications. As COUT does not affect the internal control loop stability, its value can be optimized to balance very low output ripple and circuit size. It is recommended to use an X5R or X7R rated capacitors which have the best temperature and voltage characteristics of all the ceramics for a given value and size. © 2009 Exar Corporation Although the XRP6657 has an on board over temperature circuitry, the total power dissipation it can support is based on the package thermal capabilities. The formula to ensure safe operation is given in note 1 under the operating ratings section. To avoid exceeding the maximum junction temperature, thermal analysis is strongly suggested. 8/11 Rev. 1.0.0 X RP 6 6 5 7 1.5A 1.3MHz Synchronous Step Down Converter voltage. The transition from PWM mode to LDO mode is smooth. Figure 24 illustrates the amount of output voltage ripple for an output voltage of 3.3V providing 200mA. PCB LAYOUT The following PCB layout guidelines should be taken into account to ensure proper operation and performance of the XRP6657: 1- The GND, SW and VIN traces should be kept short, direct and wide. 2- VFB pin must be connected directly to the feedback resistors. The resistor divider network must be connected in parallel to the COUT capacitor. 3- The input capacitor CIN must be kept as close as possible to the VIN pin. 4- The SW and VFB nodes should be kept as separate as possible to minimize possible effects from the high frequency and voltage swings of the SW node. Fig. 24: Output Voltage Ripple in LDO mode 5- The ground plates of CIN and COUT should be kept as close as possible. DESIGN EXAMPLE 6- Connect all analog grounds to a common node and connect the common node to the power ground via an independent path. In a single Lithium-Ion battery powered application, the VIN range is about 2.7V to 4.2V. The desired output voltage is 1.8V. SELF ENABLE APPLICATION The inductor value needed can be calculated using the following equation A self Enable function is easily implemented through the following arrangement. 1 ∆ 1 Substituting VOUT=1.8V, VIN=4.2V, ΔIL=600mA and f=1.3MHz gives 1.32 A 1.5µH inductor can be chosen with this application. An inductor of greater value with less equivalent series resistance would provide better efficiency. The CIN capacitor requires an RMS current rating of at least ILOAD(MAX)/2 and low ESR. In most cases, a ceramic capacitor will satisfy this requirement. See recommended components section below A resistor ratio R3/R4=1/1.5 is recommended.
