DATA SHEET AAT1130 2.5MHz 400mA Step-Down DC/DC Converter General Description Features The AAT1130 SwitchReg™ is a member of Skyworks' Total Power Management IC™ product family. The converter uses a predictive on-time, current-mode step-down control scheme that provides a fixed 2.5MHz switching frequency (under steady state conditions). It allows the control circuit to react nearly instantly in order to improve transient response and to enhance stability with the LC components as small as 1.0μH. The unique architecture improves transient response while allowing tiny passive LC filter components. The high switching frequency (up to 2.5MHz) keeps output voltage ripple low. • 2.5MHz Switching Frequency • Fast Transient Response with Small LC Output Filter Components • Input Voltage Range: 2.7V to 5.5V • Output Voltage Range: 0.6V to 1.8V • High 92% Peak Efficiency (VIN = 3.6V, VOUT = 1.8V) • Low 60μA Quiescent Current • 400mA Maximum Continuous Output Current • Internal 150μs Soft-Start Feedback Ramp • Over-Temperature Protection • Anti-Ringing Switch to Reduce EMI During Discontinuous Conduction Mode Operation • Valley Current Limit Protection • SC70JW-10 Package • -40°C to 85°C Temperature Range The AAT1130 delivers up to 400mA of output current, while consuming only 60μA of quiescent current.

It minimizes external component size, enabling the use of a tiny 0603 inductor that is only 1mm tall, and optimizes efficiency over the complete load range. Apart from the small bypass input capacitor, only a small L-C filter is required at the output. Typically, a 1μH inductor and a 4.7μF ceramic capacitor are recommended for <1.2V output voltage applications (see table of values). Only three external power components (CIN, COUT, and L) are required. Output voltage is programmed with external feedback resistors, ranging from 0.6V to 1.8V. An additional feed-forward capacitor can also be added to the external feedback to provide improved transient response (see Figure 1). 10 The input voltage range is 2.7V to 5.5V. The converter efficiency has been optimized for all load conditions, ranging from no load to 400mA. The internal error comparator and incorporated compensation provide excellent transient response, load, and line regulation. Soft-start eliminates any output voltage overshoot when the enable or the input voltage is applied. Control Loop The AAT1130 uses a current-mode control scheme that allows it to operate at very high switching frequencies. The current-mode control scheme operates with a predicted on-time for a given output to input voltage ratio. The on-time varies inversely proportional to the input voltage and proportional to the output voltage giving the regulator a fixed switching frequency when in steadystate. This allows the use of very small external inductor and capacitor.

Light Load Operation The AAT1130 monitors the synchronous rectifier current and when the current drops to zero, it turns off the synchronous rectifier to emulate an actual rectifier. This allows the regulator to operate in discontinuous conduction mode. In this mode the on-time remains the same as it is in continuous conduction mode, and therefore the inductor ripple current remains the same in both modes. But reduced load current requires more time for the output capacitor to discharge to the regulation voltage reducing the switching frequency. This has the added benefit of reducing the switching transition losses improving efficiency at light loads. The only requirement for stability is that the crossover frequency be much less than the 2.5MHz switching frequency. The crossover frequency can be as high as 1/2 of the switching frequency, or 1.25MHz. Therefore calculate the output capacitor by the equation: COUT > VOUT 2π · 0.6V · 60mΩ · 1.25MHz Example: Given that VOUT = 1.5V, then COUT > 5.3μF, therefore a 4.7μF capacitor is the closest standard value that can be used for 1.2V to 1.5V output. Due to the unique control method, the “inside” current control loop does not have the inherent instability that plagues most fixed frequency current-mode DC-DC regulators. Stability Soft-Start The AAT1130 requires no additional compensation components to guarantee stability. The only requirement for stability is to choose the appropriate output capacitor. When the AAT1130 is enabled, it enters soft-start mode. In this mode, the output voltage slowly rises over 150μs allowing the output capacitor to charge without drawing excessive input current. This feature prevents overstressing the battery or other input power source. Current-mode control simplifies compensation by controlling the inductor current to regulate the output voltage. This approximates a single pole response in the loop gain even though a complex pole pair exists due to the LC filter. Therefore the crossover frequency is approximated as the DC loop gain multiplied by the single pole. The AAT1130 DC loop gain is a function of the 60mΩ current sense resistor and is determined by the equation: VOUT RLOAD ALOOP(DC) = 0.6V · 60mΩ And the dominant pole frequency is: fP = 1 2π · RLOAD · COUT Therefore the crossover frequency is: fC = ALOOP(DC) · fP = VOUT 2π · 0.6V · 60mΩ · COUT Valley Current Limit The AAT1130 includes a cycle-by-cycle, valley current limit to prevent damage to itself or the external components. The valley current limit uses the low-side-NChannel synchronous rectifier to monitor the inductor current. If the measured current exceeds the valley current limit, the AAT1130 keeps the low-side synchronous rectifier on until the current drops below the current limit. Along with the predictive on-time control scheme, the valley current limit protection allows the converter to control and limit the inductor current, even with output overload or short-circuit fault condition. Since the AAT1130 uses a predictive on-time architecture (constant on-time with input feed-forward), the actual output current capability is a function of the inductor ripple current (ΔIL) and the current limit comparator delay (see Figure 1): IOUT_MAX = ILIM_VALLEY + IOUT_MAX = ILIM_VALLEY + ∆IL VOUT · tDELAY 2 L VIN - VOUT VOUT VOUT · · tSW · tDELAY 2L VIN L Skyworks Solutions, Inc. • Phone [781] 376-3000 • Fax [781] 376-3100 • [email protected] • www.skyworksinc.com 201977B • Skyworks Proprietary Information • Products and Product Information are Subject to Change Without Notice. • March 15, 2013 11 DATA SHEET AAT1130 2.5MHz 400mA Step-Down DC/DC Converter Where tSW is the switching period constant (typically 360ns) as defined by the on-time specification in the Electrical Characteristics table, and tDELAY is the currentlimit comparator delay (typically 150ns). Applications Information Inductor Selection The step-down converter uses a predictive on-time control scheme with internal slope and current compensation. The internal current compensation eliminates the "minimum, output capacitor ESR" stability requirement commonly required with this control architecture. However, the current compensation requires that the inductor current down slope to maintain a sufficient signal-to-noise ratio. The inductor current down-slope is defined by: TON ΔIL di V = OUT dt L IOUT(MAX) ILIMIT TDELAY Figure 1: Output Current to Valley Current-Limit Relationship Anti-Ringing Switch The AAT1130 includes an anti-ringing switch that dissipates any energy left in the inductor when the current is approximately zero. The anti-ringing switch turns on when both the p-channel switch and n-channel synchronous rectifier are off and the inductor current is approximately zero. The switch shorts the LX and VOUT nodes together, effectively shorting the inductor. The low onresistance of the anti-ringing switch dissipates any energy left in the inductor preventing ringing at light loads. When either the switch or synchronous rectifier are on, the anti-ringing switch remains off. Over-Temperature The AAT1130 includes thermal protection that automatically turns off the regulator when the die temperature exceeds a safe level. The thermal protection turns on at a die temperature of 140°C and has a 15°C hysteresis. resulting in an inductor recommendation to keep the μH inductance value equal to the output voltage L = V V to di maintain the appropriate dt. OUT Manufacturer’s specifications list both the inductor DC current rating, which is a thermal limitation, and the peak current rating, which is determined by the saturation characteristics. The inductor should not show any appreciable saturation under normal load conditions. Some inductors may meet the peak and average current ratings yet result in excessive losses due to a high DCR. Always consider the losses associated with the DCR and its effect on the total converter efficiency when selecting an inductor. See Table 2 for suggested inductor values and vendors. Input Capacitor Select a 4.7μF to 10μF X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor for the input. Always examine the ceramic capacitor DC voltage coefficient characteristics when selecting the proper value. For example, the capacitance of a 10μF, 6.3V, X5R ceramic capacitor with 5.0V DC applied is actually about 6μF. The input capacitor provides a low impedance loop for the edges of pulsed current drawn by the AAT1130. Low ESR/ESL X7R and X5R ceramic capacitors are ideal for this function. To minimize stray inductance, the capacitor should be placed as closely as possible to the IC. This keeps the high frequency content of the input current localized, minimizing EMI and input voltage ripple. The proper placement of the input capacitor (C1) can be seen in the evaluation board layouts in Figures 4 and 5. 12 Skyworks Solutions, Inc. • Phone [781] 376-3000 • Fax [781] 376-3100 • [email protected] • www.skyworksinc.com 201977B • Skyworks Proprietary Information • Products and Product Information are Subject to Change Without Notice. • March 15, 2013 DATA SHEET AAT1130 2.5MHz 400mA Step-Down DC/DC Converter A laboratory test set-up typically consists of two long wires running from the bench power supply to the evaluation board input voltage pins. The inductance of these wires, along with the low-ESR ceramic input capacitor, can create a high Q network that may affect converter performance. This problem often becomes apparent in the form of excessive ringing in the output voltage during load transients. Errors in the loop phase and gain measurements can also result. Since the inductance of a short PCB trace feeding the input voltage is significantly lower than the power leads from the bench power supply, most applications do not exhibit this problem. In applications where the input power source lead inductance cannot be reduced to a level that does not affect the converter performance, a high ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytic should be placed in parallel with the low ESR, ESL bypass ceramic. This dampens the high Q network and stabilizes the system. Output Capacitor The output capacitor limits the output ripple and provides holdup during large load transitions. A 4.7μF to 10μF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor typically provides sufficient bulk capacitance to stabilize the output during large load transitions and has the ESR and ESL characteristics necessary for low output ripple. The internal voltage loop compensation also limits the minimum output capacitor value to 4.7μF. This is due to its effect on the loop crossover frequency (bandwidth), phase margin, and gain margin. Increased output capacitance will reduce the crossover frequency with greater phase margin. Feedback Resistor Selection Resistors R1 and R2 of Figure 2 program the output to regulate at a voltage higher than 0.6V. To limit the bias current required for the external feedback resistor string while maintaining good noise immunity, the minimum suggested value for R2 is 59kΩ. Although a larger value will further reduce quiescent current, it will also increase the impedance of the feedback node, making it more sensitive to external noise and interference. Table 1 summarizes the resistor values for various output voltages with R2 set to either 59kΩ for good noise immunity or 221kΩ for reduced no load input current. R1 = 1.5V VOUT VFB -1 · R2 = 0.6V - 1 · 59kΩ = 88.5kΩ The AAT1130, combined with an external feedforward capacitor (C3 in Figure 2), delivers enhanced transient response for extreme pulsed load applications. The addition of the feedforward capacitor typically requires a larger output capacitor C1 for stability.

There are three types of losses associated with the AAT1130 step-down converter: switching losses, conduction losses, and quiescent current losses. Conduction losses are associated with the RDS(ON) characteristics of the power output switching devices. Switching losses are dominated by the gate charge of the power output switching devices. At full load, assuming continuous conduction mode (CCM), a simplified form of the losses is given by: PTOTAL = IO2 · (RDS(ON)H · VO + RDS(ON)L · [VIN - VO]) VIN + (tsw · FS · IO + IQ) · VIN Skyworks Solutions, Inc. • Phone [781] 376-3000 • Fax [781] 376-3100 • [email protected] • www.skyworksinc.com 201977B • Skyworks Proprietary Information • Products and Product Information are Subject to Change Without Notice. • March 15, 2013 13 DATA SHEET AAT1130 2.5MHz 400mA Step-Down DC/DC Converter IQ is the step-down converter quiescent current. The term tsw is used to estimate the full load step-down converter switching losses. For the condition where the step-down converter is in dropout at 100% duty cycle, the total device dissipation reduces to: Layout The suggested PCB layout for the AAT1130 is shown in Figures 4 and 5. The following guidelines should be used to help ensure a proper layout: 1. 2 O PTOTAL = I · RDS(ON)H + IQ · VIN Since RDS(ON), quiescent current, and switching losses all vary with input voltage, the total losses should be investigated over the complete input voltage range. Given the total losses, the maximum junction temperature can be derived from the θJA for the SC70JW-10 package which is 160°C/W. 2. 3. TJ(MAX) = PTOTAL · ΘJA + TAMB 4. 14 The input capacitor (C1) should connect as closely as possible to the VCC/VP and GND pins. C1 and L1 should be connected as closely as possible. The connection of L1 to the LX pin should be as short as possible. The feedback trace or FB pin for adjustable output voltage should be separate from any power trace and connect as closely as possible to the load point. Sensing along a high current load trace will degrade DC load regulation. If external feedback resistors are used, they should be placed as closely as possible to the FB pin for adjustable output voltage to minimize the length of the high impedance feedback trace. The resistance of the trace from the load return to the GND pins should be kept to a minimum. This will help to minimize any error in DC regulation due to differences in the potential of the internal signal ground and the power ground.
