A high voltage rectifier, power inductor, output capacitor, and resistor divider network are required to implement a DC/DC boost converter. Control Loop The AAT1230/1230-1 provides the benefits of current mode control with a simple hysteretic feedback loop. The device maintains exceptional DC regulation, transient response, and cycle-by-cycle current limit without additional compensation components. The AAT1230/1230-1 modulates the power MOSFET switching current in response to changes in 8 PGND output voltage. This allows the voltage loop to directly program the required inductor current in response to changes in the output load. The switching cycle initiates when the N-channel MOSFET is turned ON and current ramps up in the inductor. The ON interval is terminated when the inductor current reaches the programmed peak current level. During the OFF interval, the input current decays until the lower threshold, or zero inductor current, is reached. The lower current is equal to the peak current minus a preset hysteresis threshold - which determines the inductor ripple current. The peak current is adjusted by the controller until the output current requirement is met. The magnitude of the feedback error signal determines the average input current. Therefore, the AAT1230/1230-1 controller implements a pro- 1230.2006.10.1.4 AAT1230/1230-1 18V 100mA Step-Up Converter grammed current source connected to the output capacitor and load resistor. There is no right-half plane zero, and loop stability is achieved with no additional compensation components. Increased load current results in a drop in the output feedback voltage (FB1 or FB2) sensed through the feedback resistors (R1, R2, R3). The controller responds by increasing the peak inductor current, resulting in higher average current in the inductor. Alternatively, decreased output load results in an increase in the output feedback voltage (FB1 or FB2 pin). The controller responds by decreasing the peak inductor current, resulting in lower average current in the inductor. At light load, the inductor OFF interval current goes below zero and the boost converter enters discontinuous mode operation. Further reduction in the load results in a corresponding reduction in the switching frequency. The AAT1230/1230-1 provide pulsed frequency operation which reduces switching losses and maintains high efficiency at light loads. Operating frequency varies with changes in the input voltage, output voltage, and inductor size. Once the boost converter has reached continuous mode, further increases in the output load will not significantly change the operating frequency. A small 2.2µH (±20%) inductor is selected to maintain high frequency switching (up to 2MHz) and high efficiency operation for outputs from 10V to 18V. Output Voltage Programming The output voltage may be programmed through a resistor divider network located from output capacitor to FB1/FB2 pins to ground. Pulling the SEL pin high activates the FB1 pin which maintains a 1.2V reference voltage, while the FB2 reference is disabled. Pulling the SEL pin low activates the FB2 pin which maintains a 0.6V reference, while the FB1 reference is disabled. This function allows dynamic selection between two distinct output voltages across a 2X range (maximum). An additional resistor between FB1 and FB2 allows the designer to program the outputs across a reduced <2X range. Alternatively, the output voltage may be dynamically programmed to any of 16 voltage levels using the S2Cwire serial digital input. The single wire S2Cwire interface provides high-speed output voltage programmability across a 2X output voltage range. 1230.2006.10.1.4 S2Cwire functionality is enabled by pulling the SEL pin low and providing S2Cwire digital clock input to the EN/SET pin. Table 2 details the FB2 reference voltage versus S2Cwire rising clock edges. Soft Start / Enable The input disconnect switch is activated when a valid input voltage is present and the EN/SET pin is pulled high. The slew rate control on the P-channel MOSFET ensures minimal inrush current as the output voltage is charged to the input voltage, prior to switching of the N-channel power MOSFET. Monotonic turn-on is guaranteed by the builtin soft-start circuitry. Soft-start eliminates output voltage overshoot across the full input voltage range and all loading conditions. Fast and slow start-up time options are available. The AAT1230 provides start-up to regulated output voltage within 0.35ms of a low-to-high transition on the EN/SET pin. Alternatively, the AAT1230-1 provides start-up to regulated output voltage within 3.5ms of a low-to-high transition on the EN/SET pin, which dramatically reduces inrush current. A longer soft-start, or turn-on, time is a preferred feature in battery-powered systems that exhibit higher source impedances. Current Limit and Over-Temperature Protection The switching of the N-channel MOSFET terminates when current limit of 3.0A (typical) is exceeded. This minimizes power dissipation and component stresses under overload and short-circuit conditions. Switching resumes when the current decays below the current limit. Thermal protection disables the AAT1230/1230-1 when internal dissipation becomes excessive. Thermal protection disables both MOSFETs. The junction over-temperature threshold is 140°C with -15°C of temperature hysteresis. The output voltage automatically recovers when the over-temperature or over-current fault condition is removed. Under-Voltage Lockout Internal bias of all circuits is controlled via the VIN input. Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) guarantees sufficient VIN bias and proper operation of all internal circuitry prior to soft start. 9 AAT1230/1230-1 18V 100mA Step-Up Converter R4 10K JP1 VIN 3 2 1 Enable JP2 3 2 1 C1 2.2µF 1 2 3 4 5 6 VP LIN EN/SET FB1 SEL FB2 VIN GND N/C PGND SW SW D1 Schottky L1 2.2µH U1 12 11 10 9 8 7 VOUT R1 78.7k C2 2.2µF R2 562 R3 4.99k Select U1 AAT1230/1230-1 TSOPJW12 C1 10V 0603 2.2µF C2 25V 0805 2.2µF D1 30V 0.5A MBR0530T1 SOD-123 L1 2.2µH SD3814-2R2 R1 78.7k 0603 R2 562 0603 R3 4.99k 0603 Figure 1: AAT1230/1230-1 Demo Board Schematic. Application Information Selecting the Output Diode To ensure minimum forward voltage drop and no recovery, high voltage Schottky diodes are considered the best choice for the AAT1230/1230-1 boost converter. The AAT1230/1230-1 output diode is sized to maintain acceptable efficiency and reasonable operating junction temperature under full load operating conditions. Forward voltage (VF) and package thermal resistance (θJA) are the dominant factors to consider in selecting a diode. The diode's published current rating may not reflect actual operating conditions and should be used only as a comparative measure between similarly rated devices. 20V rated Schottky diodes are recommended for outputs less than 15V, while 30V rated Schottky diodes are recommended for outputs greater than 15V. The switching period is divided between ON and OFF time intervals. 1 = TON + TOFF FS During the ON time, the N-channel power MOSFET is conducting and storing energy in the boost inductor. During the OFF time, the N-channel power MOSFET is not conducting. Stored energy is 10 transferred from the input battery and boost inductor to the output load through the output diode. Duty cycle is defined as the ON time divided by the total switching interval. D= TON TON + TOFF = TON ⋅ FS The maximum duty cycle can be estimated from the relationship for a continuous mode boost converter. Maximum duty cycle (DMAX) is the duty cycle at minimum input voltage (VIN(MIN)). DMAX = VOUT - VIN(MIN) VOUT The average diode current during the OFF time can be estimated. IAVG(OFF) = IOUT 1 - DMAX The following curves show the VF characteristics for different Schottky diodes (100°C case). The VF of the Schottky diode can be estimated from the average current during the off time. 1230.2006.10.1.4 AAT1230/1230-1 18V 100mA Step-Up Converter Selecting the Boost Inductor Forward Current (mA) 10000 B340LA MBR0530 1000 ZHCS350 100 BAT42W 10 0.00 0.10 0.20 0.30 0.40 0.50 0.60 0.70 Forward Voltage (V) The average diode current is equal to the output current. The AAT1230/1230-1 controller utilizes hysteretic control and the switching frequency varies with output load and input voltage. The value of the inductor determines the maximum switching frequency of the AAT1230/1230-1 boost converter. Increased output inductance decreases the switching frequency, resulting in higher peak currents and increased output voltage ripple. To maintain 2MHz maximum switching frequency and stable operation, an output inductor sized from 1.5µH to 2.7µH is recommended. A better estimate of DMAX is possible when VF is known. IAVG(TOT) = IOUT PLOSS(DIODE) = IAVG(TOT) · VF = IOUT · VF Diode junction temperature can be estimated. TJ(DIODE) = TAMB + ΘJA · PLOSS(DIODE) Output diode junction temperature should be maintained below 110ºC, but may vary depending on application and/or system guidelines. The diode θJA can be minimized with additional PCB area on the cathode. PCB heatsinking the anode may degrade EMI performance. The reverse leakage current of the rectifier must be considered to maintain low quiescent (input) current and high efficiency under light load. The rectifier reverse current increases dramatically at high temperatures. (VOUT + VF - VIN(MIN)) (VOUT + VF) Where VF is the Schottky diode forward voltage. If not known, it can be estimated at 0.5V. Manufacturer’s specifications list both the inductor DC current rating, which is a thermal limitation, and peak inductor current rating, which is determined by the saturation characteristics. Measurements at full load and high ambient temperature should be completed to ensure that the inductor does not saturate or exhibit excessive temperature rise. The output inductor (L) is selected to avoid saturation at minimum input voltage, maximum output load conditions. Peak current may be estimated using the following equation, assuming continuous conduction mode. Worst-case peak current occurs at minimum input voltage (maximum duty cycle) and maximum load. Switching frequency can be estimated from the curves and assumes a 2.2µH inductor. Switching Frequency (MHz) The average output current multiplied by the forward diode voltage determines the loss of the output diode.

Shielded inductors provide decreased EMI and may be required in noise sensitive applications. Unshielded chip inductors provide significant space savings at a reduced cost compared to shielded (wound and gapped) inductors. In general, chiptype inductors have increased winding resistance (DCR) when compared to shielded, wound varieties. Selecting the Boost Capacitors At light load and low output voltage, the controller reduces the operating frequency to maintain maximum operating efficiency. As a result, further reduction in output load does not reduce the peak current. Minimum peak current can be estimated from 0.5A to 0.75A. The high output ripple inherent in the boost converter necessitates low impedance output filtering. Multi-layer ceramic (MLC) capacitors provide small size and adequate capacitance, low parasitic equivalent series resistance (ESR) and equivalent series inductance (ESL), and are well suited for use with the AAT1230/1230-1 boost regulator. MLC capacitors of type X7R or X5R are recommended to ensure good capacitance stability over the full operating temperature range. The RMS current flowing through the boost inductor is equal to the DC plus AC ripple components. Under worst-case RMS conditions, the current waveform is critically continuous. The resulting RMS calculation yields worst-case inductor loss. The RMS current value should be compared against the manufacturer's temperature rise, or thermal derating, guidelines. The output capacitor is sized to maintain the output load without significant voltage droop (ΔVOUT) during the power switch ON interval, when the output diode is not conducting. A ceramic output capacitor from 2.2µF to 4.7µF is recommended. Typically, 25V rated capacitors are required for the 18V boost output. Ceramic capacitors sized as small as 0805 are available which meet these requirements. IPEAK = IOUT D · VIN(MIN) + MAX (1 - DMAX) (2 · FS · L) IRMS = IPEAK 3 For a given inductor type, smaller inductor size leads to an increase in DCR winding resistance and, in most cases, increased thermal impedance. Winding resistance degrades boost converter efficiency and increases the inductor’s operating temperature. PLOSS(INDUCTOR) = IRMS2 · DCR To ensure high reliability, the inductor temperature should not exceed 100ºC. In some cases, PCB heatsinking applied to the AAT1230/1230-1 LIN node (non-switching) can improve the inductor's thermal capability. PCB heatsinking may degrade 12 MLC capacitors exhibit significant capacitance reduction with applied voltage. Output ripple measurements should confirm that output voltage droop is acceptable. Voltage derating can minimize this factor, but results may vary with package size and among specific manufacturers. Output capacitor size can be estimated at a switching frequency (FSW) of 500kHz (worst-case). COUT = IOUT · DMAX FS · ΔVOUT The boost converter input current flows during both ON and OFF switching intervals. The input ripple current is less than the output ripple and, as a result, less input capacitance is required. A ceramic output capacitor from 1µF to 3.3µF is recommended. 1230.2006.10.1.4 AAT1230/1230-1 18V 100mA Step-Up Converter Minimum 6.3V rated ceramic capacitors are required at the input. Ceramic capacitors sized as small as 0603 are available which meet these requirements. The AAT1230/1230-1 provides excellent load transient response, but large capacitance tantalum or solid-electrolytic capacitors may be desired. These can replace (or be used in parallel with) ceramic capacitors. Both tantalum and OSCON-type capacitors are suitable due to their low ESR and excellent temperature stability (although they exhibit much higher ESR than MLC capacitors). Aluminum-electrolytic types are less suitable due to their high ESR characteristics and temperature drift. Unlike MLC capacitors, these types are polarized and proper orientation on input and output pins is required. 30% to 70% voltage derating is recommended for tantalum capacitors. Setting the Output Voltage The output voltage may be programmed through a resistor divider network located from the output to FB1 and FB2 pins to ground. Pulling the SEL pin high activates the FB1 pin which maintains a 1.2V reference voltage, while the FB2 reference is disabled. Pulling the SEL pin low activates the FB2 pin which maintains a 0.6V reference, while the FB1 reference is disabled. The AAT1230/1230-1 output voltage can be programmed by one of three methods. First, the output voltage can be static by pulling the SEL logic pin either high or low. Second, the output voltage can be dynamically adjusted between two pre-set levels within a 2X operating range by toggling the SEL logic pin. Third, the output can be dynamically adjusted to any of 16 preset levels within a 2X operating range using the integrated S2Cwire single wire interface via the EN/SET pin. Option 1: Static Output Voltage A static output voltage can be configured by pulling the SEL either high or low. SEL pin high activates the FB1 reference pin to 1.2V (nominal). Alternatively, the SEL pin is pulled low to activate the FB2 reference at 0.6V (nominal). Table 1 provides details of resistor values for common output voltages from 10V to 18V for SEL = High and SEL = Low options. In the static configuration, the FB1 pin should be directly connected to FB2. The resistor between 1230.2006.10.1.4 FB1 and FB2 pins is not required. See Table 1 for static output voltages with SEL = High or SEL = Low. SEL = High corresponds to VOUT(1) and SEL = Low corresponds to VOUT(2). Option 2: Dynamic Voltage Control Using SEL Pin The output may be dynamically adjusted between two output voltages by toggling the SEL logic pin. Output voltages VOUT(1) and VOUT(2) correspond to the two output references, FB1 and FB2. Pulling the SEL logic pin high activates VOUT(1), while pulling the SEL logic pin low activates VOUT(2). The minimum output voltage must be greater than the specified maximum input voltage plus margin to maintain proper operation of the AAT1230/1230-1 boost converter. In addition, the ratio of output voltages VOUT(2)/VOUT(1) is always less than 2.0, corresponding to a 2X (maximum) programmable range. See Table 1 for dynamic output voltage settings when toggling between SEL = High and SEL = Low. SEL = High corresponds to VOUT(1) and SEL = Low corresponds to VOUT(2).

The output can be dynamically adjusted by the host controller to any of 16 pre-set output voltage levels using the integrated S2Cwire interface. The EN/SET pin serves as the S2Cwire interface input. The SEL pin must be pulled low when using the S2Cwire interface. S2Cwire Output Voltage Programming The AAT1230/1230-1 is programmed through the S2Cwire interface according to Table 2. The rising clock edges received through the EN/SET pin determine the feedback reference and output voltage set-point. Upon power up with the SEL pin low and prior to S2Cwire programming, the default feedback reference voltage is set to 0.6V. S2Cwire Serial Interface AnalogicTech's S2Cwire serial interface is a proprietary high-speed single-wire interface available only from AnalogicTech. The S2Cwire interface records rising edges of the EN/SET input and decodes into 16 different states. Each state corresponds to a voltage setting on the FB2 pin, as shown in Table 2. S2Cwire Serial Interface Timing The S2Cwire serial interface has flexible timing. Data can be clocked-in at speeds up to 1MHz. After data has been submitted, EN/SET is held high to latch the data for a period TLAT. The output is subsequently changed to the predetermined voltage. When EN/SET is set low for a time greater than TOFF, the AAT1230/1230-1 is disabled.

Possible impact includes high input and output voltage ripple, poor EMI performance, and reduced operating efficiency. Every attempt should be made to optimize the layout in order to minimize parasitic PCB effects (stray resistance, capacitance, inductance) and EMI coupling from the high frequency SW node. A suggested PCB layout for the AAT1230/1230-1 boost converter is shown in Figures 3 and 4. The following PCB layout guidelines should be considered: 1. Minimize the distance from Capacitor C1 and C2 negative terminal to the PGND pins. This is especially true with output capacitor C2, which conducts high ripple current from the output diode back to the PGND pins. Figure 3: AAT1230/1230-1 Evaluation Board Top Side. 1230.2006.10.1.4 2. Place the feedback resistors close to the output terminals. Route the output pin directly to resistor R1 to maintain good output regulation. R3 should be routed close to the output GND pin, but should not share a significant return path with output capacitor C2. 3. Minimize the distance between L1 to D1 and switching pin SW; minimize the size of the PCB area connected to the SW pin. 4. Maintain a ground plane and connect to the IC RTN pin(s) as well as the GND terminals of C1 and C2. 5. Consider additional PCB area on D1 cathode to maximize heatsinking capability. This may be necessary when using a diode with a high VF and/or thermal resistance. 6. When using the TDFN33-12 package, connect paddle to SW pin or leave floating. Do not connect to RTN/GND conductors.
