1.5A, 40V, MAXPower Step-Down DC-DC Converters
General Description
The MAX5082/MAX5083 are 250kHz PWM step-down DC-DC converters with an on-chip, 0.3 high-side switch. The input voltage range is 4.5V to 40V for the MAX5082 and 7.5V to 40V for the MAX5083. The output is adjustable from 1.23V to 32V and can deliver up to 1.5A of load current. Both devices utilize a voltage-mode control scheme for good noise immunity in the high-voltage switching environment and offer external compensation allowing for maximum flexibility with a wide selection of inductor values and capacitor types. The switching frequency is internally fixed at 250kHz and can be synchronized to an external clock signal through the SYNC input. Light load efficiency is improved by automatically switching to a pulse-skip mode. All devices include programmable undervoltage lockout and soft-start. Protection features include cycle-bycycle current limit, hiccup-mode output short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. Both devices are available in a space-saving, high-power (2.7W), 16-pin TQFN package and are rated for operation over the -40C to +125C temperature range.

Detailed Description
The MAX5082/MAX5083 are voltage-mode buck converters with internal 0.3 power MOSFET switches. The MAX5082 has a wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 40V. The MAX5083's input voltage range is 7.5V to 40V. The internal low RDS_ON switch allows for up to 1.5A of output current. The 250kHz fixed switching frequency, external compensation, and voltage feed-forward simplify loop compensation design and allow for a variety
of L and C filter components. Both devices offer an automatic switchover to pulse-skipping (PFM) mode, providing low quiescent current and high efficiency at light loads. Under no load, a PFM mode operation reduces the current consumption to only 1.4mA. In shutdown, the supply current falls to 200A. Additional features include an externally programmable undervoltage lockout through the ON/OFF pin, a programmable soft-start, cycle-by-cycle current limit, hiccup mode output short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown.

Internal Linear Regulator (REG)
REG is the output terminal of a 5V (MAX5082), or 8V (MAX5083) LDO which is powered from IN and provides power to the IC. Connect REG externally to DVREG to provide power for the high-side MOSFET gate driver. Bypass REG to SGND with a ceramic capacitor of at least 1F. Place the capacitor physically close to the MAX5082/MAX5083 to provide good bypassing. During normal operation, REG is intended for powering up only the internal circuitry and should not be used to supply power to external loads.
Internal UVLO/External UVLO
The MAX5082/MAX5083 provides two undervoltage lockouts (UVLOs). An internal UVLO looks at the input voltage (VIN) and is fixed at 4.1V (MAX5082) or 7.1V (MAX5083). An external UVLO is sensed and pro8
grammed at the ON/OFF pin. The external UVLO overrides the internal UVLO when the external UVLO is higher than the internal UVLO. During startup, before any operation begins, the input voltage and the voltage at ON/OFF must exceed their respective UVLOs. The external UVLO has a rising threshold of 1.23V with 0.12V of hysteresis. Program the external UVLO by connecting a resistive divider from IN to ON/OFF to SGND. Connect ON/OFF to IN directly to disable the external UVLO. Driving ON/OFF to ground places the MAX5082/ MAX5083 in shutdown. When in shutdown, the internal power MOSFET turns off, all internal circuitry shuts down and the quiescent supply current reduces to 200A. Connect an RC network from ON/OFF to SGND to set a turn-on delay that can be used to sequence the output voltages of multiple devices.

Soft-Start and Reference (SS)
SS is the 1.23V reference bypass connection for the MAX5082/MAX5083 and also controls the soft-start period. At startup, after VIN is applied and the internal and external UVLO thresholds are reached, the device enters soft-start. During soft-start, 15A is sourced into the capacitor (CSS) connected from SS to SGND causing the reference voltage to ramp up slowly. When VSS reaches 1.23V the output becomes fully active. Set the soft-start time (tSS) using the following equation: t SS = 1.23V x CSS 15A
Internal Charge Pump (MAX5082)
The MAX5082 features an internal charge pump to enhance the turn-on of the internal MOSFET, allowing for operation with input voltages down to 4.5V. Connect a flying capacitor (CF) between C+ and C-, a boost diode from C+ to BST, as well as a bootstrap capacitor (CBST) between BST and LX to provide the gate-drive voltage for the high-side n-channel DMOS switch. During the on-time, the flying capacitor is charged to VDVREG. During the off-time, the positive terminal of the flying capacitor (C+) is pumped to two times VDVREG and charge is dumped onto CBST to provide twice the regulator voltage across the high-side DMOS driver. Use a ceramic capacitor of at least 0.1F for CBST and CF located as close to the device as possible. For applications that do not require a 4.5V minimum input, use the MAX5083. In this device, the charge

pump is omitted and the input voltage range is from 7.5V to 40V. In this situation, the boost diode and the boost capacitor are still required (see the MAX5083 Typical Operating Circuit). During normal operation, the current is monitored at the drain of the internal power MOSFET. When the current limit is exceeded, the internal power MOSFET turns off until the next on-cycle and a counter increments. If the counter counts four consecutive current-limit events, the device discharges the soft-start capacitor and shuts down for 512 clock periods before restarting with a soft-start sequence. Each time the power MOSFET turns on and the device does not exceed the current limit, the counter is reset.
Gate Drive Supply (DVREG)
DVREG is the supply input for the internal high-side MOSFET driver. The power for DVREG is derived from the output of the internal regulator (REG). Connect DVREG to REG externally. We recommend the use of an RC (1 and 0.47F) filter from REG to DVREG to filter the noise generated by the switching of the charge pump. In the MAX5082, the high-side drive supply is generated using the internal charge pump along with the bootstrap diode and capacitor. In the MAX5083, the high-side MOSFET driver supply is generated using only the bootstrap diode and capacitor.
Thermal-Overload Protection
The MAX5082/MAX5083 feature an integrated thermaloverload protection. Thermal-overload protection limits the total power dissipation in the device and protects it in the event of an extended thermal fault condition. When the die temperature exceeds +160C, an internal thermal sensor shuts down the part, turning off the power MOSFET and allowing the IC to cool. After the temperature falls by 20C, the part will restart with a soft-start sequence.
Error Amplifier
The output of the internal error amplifier (COMP) is available for frequency compensation (see the Compensation Design section). The inverting input is FB, the noninverting input SS, and the output COMP. The error amplifier has an 80dB open-loop gain and a 1.8MHz GBW product. See the Typical Operating Character-istics for the Gain and Phase vs. Frequency graph.

When the voltage at ON/OFF rises above 1.23V, the MAX5082/MAX5083 turns on. Connect a resistive divider from IN to ON/OFF to SGND to set the UVLO threshold (see Figure 5). First select the ON/OFF to the SGND resistor (R2) then calculate the resistor from IN to ON/OFF (R1) using the following equation: VIN R1 = R2 x - 1 VON/OFF where VIN is the input voltage at which the converter turns on, VON/OFF = 1.23V and R2 is chosen to be less than 600k. If the external UVLO divider is not used, connect ON/OFF to IN directly. In this case, an internal undervoltage lockout feature monitors the supply voltage at IN and allows operation to start when IN rises above 4.1V (MAX5082) and 7.1V (MAX5083).
Oscillator/Synchronization Input (SYNC)
With SYNC tied to SGND, the MAX5082/MAX5083 use their internal oscillator and switch at a fixed frequency of 250kHz. For external synchronization, drive SYNC with an external clock from 150kHz to 350kHz. When driven with an external clock, the device synchronizes to the rising edge of SYNC.
PWM Comparator/Voltage Feed-Forward
An internal 250kHz ramp generator is compared against the output of the error amplifier to generate the PWM signal. The maximum amplitude of the ramp (VRAMP) automatically adjusts to compensate for input voltage and oscillator frequency changes. This causes the VIN/VRAMP to be a constant 10V/V across the input voltage range of 4.5V to 40V (MAX5082) or 7.5V to 40V (MAX5083) and the SYNC frequency range of 150kHz to 350kHz.
Setting the Output Voltage
Connect a resistive divider from OUT to FB to SGND to set the output voltage (see Figure 5). First calculate the resistor from OUT to FB using the guidelines in the Compensation Design section. Once R3 is known, calculate R4 using the following equation:
Output Short-Circuit Protection (Hiccup Mode)
The MAX5082/MAX5083 protects against an output short circuit by utilizing hiccup-mode protection. In hiccup mode, a series of sequential cycle-by-cycle current-limit events will cause the part to shut down and restart with a soft-start sequence. This allows the device to operate with a continuous output short circuit.

R4 = R3 VOUT - 1 VFB the input capacitor). The total voltage ripple is the sum of VQ and VESR. Calculate the input capacitance and ESR required for a specified ripple using the following equations: ESR = VESR IP-P IOUT_MAX + 2 IOUT_MAX x D(1 - D) VQ x fSW
MAX5082/MAX5083
where VFB = 1.23V.
Inductor Selection
Three key inductor parameters must be specified for operation with the MAX5082/MAX5083: inductance value (L), peak inductor current (IPEAK), and inductor saturation current (ISAT). The minimum required inductance is a function of operating frequency, input-to-output voltage differential, and the peak-to-peak inductor current (IP-P). Higher IP-P allows for a lower inductor value while a lower IP-P requires a higher inductor value. A lower inductor value minimizes size and cost and improves large-signal and transient response, but reduces efficiency due to higher peak currents and higher peak-to-peak output voltage ripple for the same output capacitor. On the other hand, higher inductance increases efficiency by reducing the ripple current. Resistive losses due to extra wire turns can exceed the benefit gained from lower ripple current levels especially when the inductance is increased without also allowing for larger inductor dimensions. A good compromise is to choose IP-P equal to 40% of the full load current. Calculate the inductor using the following equation: (V - V ) V L = OUT IN OUT VIN x fSW x IP-P VIN and VOUT are typical values so that efficiency is optimum for typical conditions. The switching frequency (fSW) is fixed at 250kHz or can vary between 150kHz and 350kHz when synchronized to an external clock (see the Oscillator/Synchronization Input (SYNC) section). The peak-to-peak inductor current, which reflects the peak-topeak output ripple, is worst at the maximum input voltage. See the Output Capacitor Selection section to verify that the worst-case output ripple is acceptable. The inductor saturating current (ISAT) is also important to avoid runaway current during continuous output short circuit. Select an inductor with an ISAT specification higher than the maximum peak current limit of 3.5A.
CIN = where IP-P =
(VIN - VOUT ) x VOUT and VIN x fSW x L V D = OUT VIN
IOUT_MAX is the maximum output current, D is the duty cycle, and fSW is the switching frequency. The MAX5082/MAX5083 includes internal and external UVLO hysteresis and soft-start to avoid possible unintentional chattering during turn-on. However, use a bulk capacitor if the input source impedance is high. Use enough input capacitance at lower input voltages to avoid possible undershoot below the undervoltage lockout threshold during transient loading.
Output Capacitor Selection
The allowable output voltage ripple and the maximum deviation of the output voltage during load steps determine the output capacitance and its ESR. The output ripple is mainly composed of V Q (caused by the capacitor discharge) and VESR (caused by the voltage drop across the equivalent series resistance of the output capacitor). The equations for calculating the peak-to-peak output voltage ripple are: VQ = IP-P 16 x COUT x fSW
Input Capacitor Selection
The discontinuous input current of the buck converter causes large input ripple currents and therefore the input capacitor must be carefully chosen to keep the input voltage ripple within design requirements. The input voltage ripple is comprised of VQ (caused by the capacitor discharge) and VESR (caused by the ESR of VESR = ESR x IP- P Normally, a good approximation of the output voltage ripple is VRIPPLE VESR + VQ. If using ceramic capacitors, assume the contribution to the output voltage ripple from ESR and the capacitor discharge to be
11

equal to 20% and 80%, respectively. IP-P is the peak-topeak inductor current (see the Input Capacitors Selection section) and fSW is the converter's switching frequency. The allowable deviation of the output voltage during fast load transients also determines the output capacitance, its ESR, and its equivalent series inductance (ESL). The output capacitor supplies the load current during a load step until the controller responds with a greater duty cycle. The response time (t RESPONSE) depends on the closed-loop bandwidth of the converter (see the Compensation Design section). The resistive drop across the output capacitor's ESR, the drop across the capacitor's ESL (VESL), and the capacitor discharge causes a voltage droop during the loadstep. Use a combination of low-ESR tantalum/aluminum electrolyte and ceramic capacitors for better transient load and voltage ripple performance. Nonleaded capacitors and capacitors in parallel help reduce the ESL. Keep the maximum output voltage deviation below the tolerable limits of the electronics being powered. Use the following equations to calculate the required ESR, ESL, and capacitance value during a load step: ESR = VESR ISTEP ISTEP x tRESPONSE VQ VESL x t STEP ISTEP fZ1 =

(COUT) (C5 in the Typical Application Circuit) and its equivalent series resistance (ESR). The power modulator incorporates a voltage feed-forward feature, which automatically adjusts for variations in the input voltage resulting in a DC gain of 10. The following equations define the power modulator: GMOD(DC) = VIN = 10 VRAMP 1 2 L x COUT 1 2 x COUT x ESR

The switching frequency is internally set at 250kHz or can vary from 150kHz to 350kHz when driven with an external SYNC signal. The crossover frequency (fC), which is the frequency when the closed-loop gain is equal to unity, should be set at 15kHz or below therefore: fC 15kHz The error amplifier must provide a gain and phase bump to compensate for the rapid gain and phase loss from the LC double pole. This is accomplished by utilizing a type 3 compensator that introduces two zeroes and 3 poles into the control loop. The error amplifier has a low-frequency pole (fP1) near the origin. The two zeros are at: 1 1 and fZ2 = 2 x R5 x C7 2 x (R6 + R3) x C6

and the higher frequency poles are at: fP2 = 1 and fP3 = 2 x R6 x C6 1 C7 x C8 2 x R5 x C7 + C8
Compensation Design
The MAX5082/MAX5083 use a voltage-mode control scheme that regulates the output voltage by comparing the error amplifier output (COMP) with an internal ramp to produce the required duty cycle. The output lowpass LC filter creates a double pole at the resonant frequency, which has a gain drop of -40dB/decade. The error amplifier must compensate for this gain drop and phase shift to achieve a stable closed-loop system. The basic regulator loop consists of a power modulator, an output feedback divider, and a voltage-error amplifier. The power modulator has a DC gain set by VIN/VRAMP, with a double pole and a single zero set by the output inductance (L), the output capacitance

Compensation When fC < fZESR Figure 3 shows the error amplifier feedback as well as its gain response for circuits that use low-ESR output capacitors (ceramic). In this case fZESR occurs after fC. fZ1 is set to 0.8 x fLC(MOD) and fZ2 is set to fLC to compensate for the gain and phase loss due to the double pole. Choose the inductor (L) and output capacitor (C OUT ) as described in the Inductor and Output Capacitor Selection section.

Pick a value for the feedback resistor R5 in Figure 3 (values between 1k and 10k are adequate). C7 is then calculated as: C7 = 1 2 x 0.8 x fLC x R5
Compensation When fC > fZESR For larger ESR capacitors such as tantalum and aluminum electrolytic ones, fZESR can occur before fC. If fZESR < fC, then fC occurs between fP2 and fP3. fZ1 and fZ2 remain the same as before however, fP2 is now set equal to fZESR. The output capacitor's ESR zero frequency is higher than fLC but lower than the closedloop crossover frequency. The equations that define the error amplifier's poles and zeroes (fZ1, fZ2, fP1, fP2, and fP3) are the same as before. However, fP2 is now lower than the closed-loop crossover frequency. Figure 4 shows the error amplifier feedback as well as its gain response for circuits that use higher-ESR output capacitors (tantalum or aluminum electrolytic). Pick a value for the feedback resistor R5 in Figure 4 (values between 1k and 10k are adequate). C7 is then calculated as: C7 = 1 2 x 0.8 x fLC x R5
fC occurs between fZ2 and fP2. The error-amplifier gain (GEA) at fC is due primarily to C6 and R5. Therefore, GEA(fC) = 2 x fC x C6 x R5 and the modulator gain at fC is: GMOD(fC) = GMOD(DC) (2)2 x L x COUT x fC2
The error amplifier gain between fP2 and fP3 is approximately equal to R5/R6 (given that R6 << R3). R6 can then be calculated as: R6 R5 x 10 x fLC2 fC2
Since GEA(fC) x GMOD(fC) = 1, C6 is calculated by: C6 = fC x L x COUT x 2 R5 x GMOD(DC)
C6 is then calculated as: C6 = COUT x ESR R6
fP2 is set at one-half the switching frequency (fSW). R6 is then calculated by:

The power dissipated in the device is the sum of the power dissipated from supply current (PQ), transition losses due to switching the internal power MOSFET (PSW), and the power dissipated due to the RMS current through the internal power MOSFET (PMOSFET).

Since R3 >> R6, R3 + R6 can be approximated as R3. R3 is then calculated as: R3 1 2 x fLC x C6
fP3 is set at 5xfC. Therefore, C8 is calculated as: C8 = C7 (2 x C7 x R5 x fP3 -1)

Power Dissipation
The MAX5082/MAX5083 is available in a thermally enhanced package and can dissipate up to 2.7W at TA = +70C. When the die temperature reaches +160C, the part shuts down and is allowed to cool. After the part cools by 20C, the device restarts with a soft-start.
