7 ? 2008 semtech corp. www.semtech.com SC196A preliminary power management applications information SC196A detailed description the SC196A is a synchronous step-down, pulse width modulated (pwm), dc-dc converter utilizing a 1mhz xed-frequency current mode architecture. the device is designed to operate in a xed-frequency pwm mode across the full load range and can enter power save mode (psave), utilizing pulse frequency modulation (pfm) at light loads to maximize ef ciency. operation during normal operation, the pmos is activated on each rising edge of the internal oscillator. current feedback for the switching regulator uses the pmos current path, and it is ampli ed and summed with the internal slope compensation network. the voltage feedback loop uses an internal feedback divider. the on-time is determined by comparing the summed current feedback and the output of the error ampli er. the period is set by the onboard oscillator or by an external clock attached to the sync/ pwm pin. the SC196A has an internal synchronous nmos recti er and does not require a schottky diode on the lx pin. programmable output voltage the SC196A has four pre-determined output voltage values which can be individually selected by the correct programming of the vid0 and vid1 pins (see programmable output voltage table on page 4). this eliminates the need for external programming resistors, saving pcb area and inventory. the vid pins can be statically tied to gnd or vin for xed output con gurations, or they may be driven by a microprocessor, enabling the possibility of dynamic voltage adjustment for host equipment "sleep" states. continuous conduction & oscillator synchronization the SC196A is designed to operate in continuous conduction, xed-frequency mode. when the sync/pwm pin is tied high, the part runs in pwm mode using the internal oscillator. the part can be synchronized to an external clock by driving a clock signal into the sync/ pwm pin. the part synchronizes to the rising edge of the clock. protection features the SC196A provides the following protection features: thermal shutdown current limit ? ? over-voltage protection soft-start thermal shutdown the device has a thermal shutdown feature to protect the SC196A if the junction temperature exceeds 145c. in thermal shutdown, the on-chip power devices are disabled, tri-stating the lx output. switching will resume when the temperature drops by 10c. during this time, if the output voltage decreases by more than 60% of its programmed value, a soft-start will be invoked. current limit the pmos and nmos power devices of the buck switcher are protected by current limit functions. in the case of a short to ground on the output, the part enters frequency foldback mode, which causes the switching frequency to divide by a factor determined by the output voltage. this prevents the inductor current from "stair-casing". over-voltage protection when the output voltage exceeds the regulation voltage by approximately 15% while operating in pwm mode, the pwm drive is disabled and the lx pin is tri-stated. once the output voltage drops below the ovp voltage, the device will resume pwm mode control. in psave mode, the psave burst drive is disabled when the output voltage exceeds the regulation voltage by approximately 1.5% and the lx pin is tri-stated. the device will resume psave burst switching when the output voltage has fallen below the regulation voltage by approximately 2%. soft-start the soft-start mode is enabled after every shutdown cycle to limit in-rush current. in conjunction with the frequency foldback, this controls the maximum current during start- up. the pmos current limit is stepped up through seven soft-start levels to the full value by a timer driven from the internal oscillator. during soft-start, the switching frequency is stepped by 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 of the internal oscillator frequency up to the full value, under control of three output voltage thresholds. as soon as the output voltage is within 2% of the regulation voltage, soft-start mode is disabled. ? ?
8 ? 2008 semtech corp. www.semtech.com SC196A preliminary power management applications information (cont.) power save mode operation the psave mode may be selected by tying the sync/ pwm pin to gnd. selecting psave mode will enable the SC196A to automatically activate/deactivate operation at light loads, maximizing ef ciency across the full load range. the SC196A automatically detects the load current at which it should enter psave mode. the SC196A is optimized to track maximum ef ciency with respect to v in . in psave mode, v out is driven from a lower level to an upper level by a switching burst. once the upper level has been reached, the switching is stopped and the quiescent current is reduced. v out falls from the upper to lower levels in this low current state as the load current discharges the output capacitor. the burst-to-off period in psave will decrease as the load current reduces. the psave switching burst frequency is controlled so that the inductor current ripple is similar to that in pwm mode. the minimum switching frequency during this period is limited to 650khz. the SC196A automatically detects when to exit psave mode by monitoring v out . for the SC196A to exit psave mode, the load must be increased, causing v out to decrease until the power save exit threshold is reached. psave levels are set high to minimize the undershoot when exiting psave. the lower psave comparator level is set +0.7% above v out , and the upper comparator level at +1.5% above v out with the exit threshold at -2% below v out . if psave operation is required, then a 22 f output capacitor must be used. 100% duty cycle operation the 100% duty cycle mode may be selected by connecting the mode pin high. this will allow the SC196A to maintain output regulation under low input voltage/high output voltage conditions. in 100% duty cycle operation, as the input supply drops toward the output voltage, the pmos on-time increases linearly above the maximum value in xed-frequency operation until the pmos is active continuously. once the pmos is switched on continuously, the output voltage tracks the input voltage minus the voltage drop across the pmos power device and inductor according to the following relationship: where, v out = output voltage v in = input voltage i out = output current r dsp = pmos switch on resistance r ind = series resistance of the inductor ) r (r i v v ind dsp out in out u ) r (r i v v ind dsp out in out u minimum v in for fixed frequency operation vs. r ind 2.7 2.75 2.8 2.85 2.9 2.95 3 0.05 0.1 0.15 0.2 0.25 0.3 v in (v) inductor dc resistance ( ) v out = 1.8v i out =1a power save operation v out 0.7% 1.5% psave mode at light load pwm mode at medium/ high load -2% burst off higher load applied 0 a inductor current time

' this equation demonstrates the relationship between input voltage, output voltage, and inductor ripple current. the inductor should have a low dcr to minimize the conduction losses and maximize ef ciency. as a minimum requirement, the dc current rating of the inductor should be equal to the maximum load current plus half of the inductor current ripple, as shown by the following equation: 2 i i i l ) max ( out lpk ' final inductor selection will depend on various design considerations, such as ef ciency, emi, size and cost. table 1 lists the manufacturers of practical inductor options. c in selection the source input current to a buck converter is non- continuous. to prevent large input voltage ripple, a low esr ceramic capacitor is required. a minimum value of 10 f should be used for suf cient input voltage ltering, and a 22 f should be used for improved input voltage ltering. c out selection the internal compensation is designed to work with a certain output lter corner frequency, which is de ned by the equation: out c c l 2 1 f u s this single pole lter is designed to operate with a minimum output capacitor value of 10 f. larger output capacitor values will improve transient performance. if psave operation is required, the minimum capacitor value is 22 f. output voltage ripple is a combination of the voltage ripple from the charge - discharge cycle of the output capacitor and the voltage created by the inductor ripple current passing through the output capacitor esr. selecting an output capacitor with a low esr will reduce the output voltage ripple component, as can be seen in the following equation: capacitors with x7r or x5r ceramic dielectric are strongly recommended for their low esr and superior temperature and voltage characteristics. y5v capacitors should not be used as their temperature coef cients make them unsuitable for this application. table 2 lists the manufacturers of recommended capacitor options. ) cout ( ) ripple ( l ) esr ( out esr i v u ' ' table 1 ? recommended inductors manufacturer/part # value ( h) dcr ( ) rated current (a) tolerance (%) dimensions lxwxh (mm) bi technologies hm66404r1 4.1 0.057 1.95 20 5.7 5.7 2.0 coilcraft d01608c-472ml 4.7 0.09 1.5 20 6.6 4.5 3.0 tdk vlcf4020t- 4r7n1r2 4.7 0.098 1.24 30 4.0 4.0 2.0 taiyo yuden lmnp04sb4r7n 4.7 0.050 1.2 30 5.0 5.0 2.0 toko d52lc 4.7 0.087 1.14 20 5.0 5.0 2.0 sumida cdrh3d16 4.7 0.050 1.2 30 3.8 3.8 1.8 coilcraft lps3015 4.7 0.2 1.1 20 3.0 3.0 1.5 note: recommended inductors do not necessarily guarantee rated perfor- mance of the part.
