? ? ? ? ? x 0.5 - x cap_comp 8.5 a soft-start time(cap_comp=100nf) = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4 = 2.1ms + 2ms + 3.5ms + 1.8ms = 10ms current limit the mic2168 uses the r ds(on) of the top power mosfet to measure output current. since it uses the drain to source resistance of the power mosfet , it is not very accurate. this scheme is adequate to protect the power supply and external components during a fault condition by cutting back the time the top mosfet is on if the feedback voltage is greater than 0.67v. in case of a hard short when feedback voltage is less than 0.67v, the mic2168 discharges the comp capacitor to 0.65v, resets the digital counter and automatically shuts off the top gate drive, and the g m error ampli?er and the C3% hysteretic comparators are completely disabled and the soft-start cycles restarts. this mode of operation is called the hiccup mode and its purpose is to protect the down stream load in case of a hard short. the circuit in figure 1 illustrates the mic2168 current limiting circuit. l1 inductor v in hsd lsd rcs cs 200a 0 c2 c in c1 c out q1 mosfe t n q2 mosfe t n v out figure 1. the mic2168 current limiting circuit the current limiting resistor r cs is calculated by the follow - ing equation: r cs = 200 a r ds(on) q1 l l equation (1) i l = 2(inductor ripple current ) 1 i load = where: inductor ripple current = (v in v out = - v out ) v in f switching l f switching = 1mhz 200 a is the internal sink current to program the mic2168 current limit. the mosfet r ds(on) varies 30% to 40% with temperature; therefore, it is recommended to add a 50% margin to the load current (i load ) in the above equation to avoid false current limiting due to increased mosfet junction temperature rise. it is also recommended to connect r cs resistor directly to the drain of the top mosfet q1, and the r sw resistor to the source of q1 to accurately sense the mosfets r ds(on) . a 0.1 f capacitor in parallel with r cs should be connected to ?lter some of the switching noise. internal v dd supply the mic2168 controller internally generates v dd for self bias - ing and to provide power to the gate drives. this v dd supply is generated through a low-dropout regulator and generates 5v from v in supply greater than 5v. for supply voltage less than 5v, the v dd linear regulator is approximately 200mv in dropout. therefore, it is recommended to short the v dd supply to the input supply through a 10 ? resistor for input supplies between 2.9v to 5v. mosfet gate drive the mic2168 high-side drive circuit is designed to switch an n-channel mosfet. the block diagram in figure 2 shows a bootstrap circuit, consisting of d2 and cbst, supplies energy to the high-side drive circuit. capacitor cbst is charged while the low-side mosfet is on and the voltage on the vsw pin is approximately 0v. when the high-side mosfet driver is turned on, energy from cbst is used to turn the mosfet on. as the mosfet turns on, the voltage on the vsw pin increases to approximately v in . diode d2 is reversed biased and cbst ?oats high while continuing to keep the high-side mosfet on. when the low-side switch is turned back on, cbst is recharged through d2. the drive voltage is derived from the internal 5v v dd bias supply. the nominal low-side gate drive voltage is 5v and the nominal high-side gate drive voltage is approximately 4.5v due the voltage drop across d2. an approximate 20ns delay between the high- and low-side driver transitions is used to prevent current from simultane - ously ?owing unimpeded through both mosfets. mosfet selection the mic2168 controller works from input voltages of 3v to 13.2v and has an internal 5v regulator to provide power to turn the external n-channel power mosfets for high- and low-side switches. for applications where v in < 5v, the internal mic2168 micrel, inc. m9999- 040805 8 april 2005 v dd regulator operates in dropout mode, and it is necessary that the power mosfets used are low threshold and are in full conduction mode for v gs of 2.5v. for applications when v in > 5v; logic-level mosfets, whose operation is speci?ed at v gs = 4.5v must be used. it is important to note the on-resistance of a mosfet increases with increasing temperature. a 75c rise in junction tempera - ture will increase the channel resistance of the mosfet by 50% to 75% of the resistance speci?ed at 25c. this change in resistance must be accounted for when calculating mosfet power dissipation and in calculating the value of curren t -sense (cs) resistor. total gate charge is the charge required to turn the mosfet on and off under speci?ed operating conditions (v ds and v gs ). the gate charge is supplied by the mic2168 gate drive circuit. at 1mhz switching frequency and above, the gate charge can be a signi?cant source of power dissipation in the mic2168. at low output load, this power dissipation is noticeable as a reduction in ef?ciency. the average current required to drive the high-side mosfet is: i q f g[high - side](avg) g s = where: i g[high-side](avg) = average high-side mosfet gate current. q g = total gate charge for the high-side mosfet taken from manufacturers data sheet for v gs = 5v. the low-side mosfet is turned on and off at v ds = 0 because the freewheeling diode is conducting during this time. the switching loss for the low-side mosfet is usu - ally negligible. also, the gate-drive current for the low-side mosfet is more accurately calculated using ciss at v ds = 0 instead of gate charge. for the low-side mosfet: i c v f g[low - side](avg) iss gs s = since the current from the gate drive comes from the input voltage, the power dissipated in the mic2168 due to gate drive is: p v i i gatedrive in g[high - side](avg) g[low - side](avg) = + ( ) a convenient ?gure of merit for switching mosfets is the on resistance times the total gate charge r ds(on) q g . lower numbers translate into higher ef?ciency. low gate-charge logic-level mosfets are a good choice for use with the mic2168. parameters that are important to mosfet switch selection are: ? voltage rating ? on-resistance ? total gate charge the voltage ratings for the top and bottom mosfet are essentially equal to the input voltage. a safety factor of 20% should be added to the v ds (max) of the mosfets to account for voltage spikes due to circuit parasitics. the power dissipated in the switching transistor is the sum of the conduction losses during the on-time (p conduction ) and the switching losses that occur during the period of time when the mosfets turn on and off (p ac ). p p p sw conduction ac = + where: p i r conduction sw(rms) sw 2 = p p p ac ac(off) ac(on) = + r sw = on-resistance of the mosfet switch d = v v o in ?

( ) ( ) maximizing ef?ciency requires the proper selection of core material and minimizing the winding resistance. the high frequency operation of the mic2168 requires the use of fer - rite materials for all but the most cost sensitive applications. lower cost iron powder cores may be used but the increase in core loss will reduce the ef?ciency of the power supply. this is especially noticeable at low output power. the winding resistance decreases ef?ciency at the higher output current levels. the winding resistance must be minimized although this usually comes at the expense of a larger inductor. the power dissipated in the inductor is equal to the sum of the core and copper losses. at higher output loads, the core losses are usually insigni?cant and can be ignored. at lower output currents, the core losses can be a signi?cant con - tributor. core loss information is usually available from the magnetics vendor. copper loss in the inductor is calculated by the equation below: p i r inductor cu inductor(rms) winding 2 = the resistance of the copper wire, r winding , increases with temperature. the value of the winding resistance used should be at the operating temperature. r r 1 0 .0042 (t t ) winding(hot) winding(20 c) hot 20 c = + ?

? ? ? ? ? a typical value of r1 can be between 3k ? and 10k ? . if r1 is too large, it may allow noise to be introduced into the voltage feedback loop. if r1 is too small, in value, it will decrease the ef?ciency of the power supply, especially at light loads. once r1 is selected, r2 can be calculated using: r2 v r 1 v v ref o ref = ? external schottky diode an external freewheeling diode is used to keep the inductor current ?ow continuous while both mosfets are turned off. this dead time prevents current from ?owing unimpeded through both mosfets and is typically 15ns. the diode conducts twice during each switching cycle. although the average current through this diode is small, the diode must be able to handle the peak current. the reverse voltage requirement of the diode is: v v diode(rrm) in = the power dissipated by the schottky diode is: p i v diode d(avg) f = where: v f = forward voltage at the peak diode current the external schottky diode, d1, is not necessary for circuit operation since the low-side mosfet contains a parasitic body diode. the external diode will improve ef?ciency and decrease high frequency noise. if the mosfet body diode is used, it must be rated to handle the peak and average cur - rent. the body diode has a relatively slow reverse recovery time and a relatively high forward voltage drop. the power lost in the diode is proportional to the forward voltage drop of the diode. as the high-side mosfet starts to turn on, the body diode becomes a short circuit for the reverse recovery period, dissipating additional power. the diode recovery and the circuit inductance will cause ringing during the high-side mosfet turn-on. an external schottky diode conducts at a lower forward voltage preventing the body diode in the mosfet from turning on. the lower forward voltage drop dissipates less power than the body diode. the lack of a reverse recovery mechanism in a schottky diode causes less ringing and less power loss. depending on the circuit components and operating conditions, an external schottky diode will give a 1 / 2 % to 1% improvement in ef?ciency. feedback loop compensation the mic2168 controller comes with an internal transcon - ductance error ampli?er used for compensating the voltage feedback loop by placing a capacitor (c1) in series with a resistor (r1) and another capacitor c2 in parallel from the comp pin to ground. see functional block diagram. power stage the power stage of a voltage mode controller has an induc - tor, l1, with its winding resistance (dcr) connected to the output capacitor, c out , with its electrical series resistance (esr) as shown in figure 3. the transfer function g(s), for such a system is: esr c out v o dcr l figure 3. the output lc filter in a voltage mode buck converter (1 + esr s c) ?

) cancels one of the two poles (lc out ) system by introducing a zero at: 1 = f zero 2 esr c out therefore, f zero = 6.36khz. from the point of view of compensating the voltage loop, it is recommended to use higher esr output capacitors since they provide a 90 phase gain in the power path. for comparison purposes, figure 6, shows the same phase curve with an esr value of 0.002 ?

to 10 ? resistor. the purpose of this resistor is to ?lter the switch node. 3. the feedback resistors r1 and r2 should be placed close to the fb pin. the top side of r1 should connect directly to the output node. run this trace away from the switch node (junction of q1, q2, and l1). the bottom side of r1 should connect to the gnd pin on the mic2168. 4. the compensation resistor and capacitors should be placed right next to the comp/en pin and the other side should connect directly to the gnd pin on the mic2168 rather than going to the plane. 5. the input bulk capacitors should be placed close to the drain of the top mosfet. 6. the 1 f ceramic capacitor should be placed right on the vin pin of the mic2168. 7. the 4.7 f to 10 f ceramic capacitor should be placed right on the vdd pin. 8. the source of the bottom mosfet should connect directly to the input capacitor gnd with a thick trace. the output capacitor and the input capacitor should connect directly to the gnd plane. 9. place a 0.1 f ceramic capacitor in parallel with the cs resistor to ?lter any switching noise. mic2168 micrel, inc. m9999- 040805 14 april 2005 package information r e v . 0 0 10-pin msop (mm) micrel inc. 2180 fortune drive san jose, ca 95131 usa tel + 1 (408) 944-0800 fax + 1 (408) 474-1000 web http://www.micrel.com this information furnished by micrel in this data sheet is believed to be accurate and reliable. however no responsibility is assumed by micrel for its use. micrel reserves the right to change circuitry and speci?cations at any time without noti?cation to the customer. micrel products are not designed or authorized for use as components in life support appliances, devices or systems where malfunction of a product can reasonably be expected to result in personal injury. life support devices or systems are devices or systems that (a) are intended for surgical implant into the body or (b) support or sustain life, and whose failure to perform can be reasonably expected to result in a signi?
