These devices feature very lowresistance power MOSFETs and 100% duty cycle operation, making them ideal choices for portable applications requiring a 3.0V or 3.3V rail to be generated form a Li+ battery. These device operate with a fixed frequency of 1.35MHz, minimizing noise in sensitive equipment as well as optimizing both efficiency and component size and cost. ACT8309/8310/8311 Rev 0, 15-Jun-10 For most applications, a 22µF ceramic output capacitor is recommended. Although the these regulators were designed to take advantage of the benefits of ceramic capacitors, namely small size and very-low ESR, low-ESR tantalum capacitors can provide acceptable results as well. Inductor Selection These devices were optimized for operation with 3.3µH inductors, although inductors in the 1.5µH to 4.7µH range may be used. Choose an inductors with a low DC-resistance, and avoid inductor saturation by choosing inductors with DC ratings that exceed the maximum output current of the application by at least 30%. 100% Duty Cycle Operation These devices are capable of operating at up to 100% duty cycle operation. During 100% duty cycle operation, the high-side power MOSFET is held on continuously, providing a direct connection from the input to the output (through the inductor), ensuring the lowest possible dropout voltage in batterypowered applications. Output Voltage Setting Figure 3 shows the feedback network necessary to set the output voltage when using adjustable output voltage options. output voltage options. Select components as follows: Set RFB2 = 200kΩ, calculate RFB1 using the following equation: Synchronous Rectification The ACT8309/ACT8310/ACT8311 each feature integrated n-channel synchronous rectifiers, maximizing efficiency and minimizing the total solution size and cost by eliminating the need for external rectifiers. ⎛V ⎞ RFB1 = RFB2 ⎜ OUT − 1⎟ ⎜V ⎟ ⎝ FB ⎠ Where VFB is 0.8V. Figure 3: Output Voltage Setting VOUT ACT8309/ ACT8310/ ACT8311 RFB1 FB RFB2 Soft-Start The ACT8309/ACT8310/ACT8311 each include integrated soft-start circuitry. When enabled, the output voltage track an internal 200µs soft-start ramp so that the output power up in a controlled, monotonic manner that is independent of loading. Compensation The ACT8309/ACT8310/ACT8311 each utilize current-mode control and a proprietary internal compensation scheme to simultaneously simplify external component selection and optimize transient performance over their full operating range. No compensation design is required, simply follow a few simple guidelines described below when choosing external components. Enable/Disable Control These devices may be enabled and disabled using the EN input. Drive EN to a logic-high to enable the regulator, drive EN to a logic-low to disable the regulator. When disabled, each regulator’s quiescent supply current drops to less than 1µA. Capacitor Selection The input capacitor reduces peak currents and noise induced upon the voltage source. A 10µF ceramic capacitor is recommended for most applications. Innovative PowerTM -6- Power-OK Output (POK) These devices feature an open-drain “Power-OK” indicator output. This output sinks current whenever the output voltage is (typically) 5% below the regulation voltage, and goes high-impedance when the output voltage is above this threshold. To generate www.active-semi.com Copyright © 2010 Active-Semi, Inc. Active-Semi a logic-level “Power-OK” signal, simply connect a pullup resistor from POK to an appropriate output voltage. ACT8309/8310/8311 Rev 0, 15-Jun-10 PCB Layout Considerations High switching frequencies and large peak current make PC board layout an important part of stepdown DC/DC converter design. A good design minimizes excessive EMI on the feedback paths and voltage gradients in the ground plane, both of which can result in instability or regulation errors. Step-down DC/DCs exhibit discontinuous input current, so the input capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the IC, and avoiding the use of vias if possible. The inductor, input filter capacitor, and output filter capacitor should be connected as close together as possible, with short, direct, and wide traces. The ground nodes for each regulator’s power loop should be connected at a single point in a star-ground configuration, and this point should be connected to the backside ground plane with multiple vias. For fixed output voltage options the output node for each regulator should be connected to its corresponding FB pin through the shortest possible route, while keeping sufficient distance from switching nodes to prevent noise injection. Adjustable output versions should follow the same guidelines, but additionally connect the feedback resistors to the FB pin as close to the IC as possible to minimize noise injection.
