The regulator is capable of supplying 10A of continuous output current with an output voltage adjustable down to 0.8V. The programmable on-time from 100ns to 1.3µs, enables optimizing the configuration for PCB area and efficiency. The input voltage of AOZ2262AQI-18 can be as low as 4V. The highest input voltage of AOZ2262AQI-18 can be 28V. Constant on-time PWM with input feed-forward control scheme results in ultra-fast transient response while maintaining relatively constant switching frequency over the entire input range. True AC current mode control scheme guarantees the regulator can be stable with a ceramic output capacitor. The switching frequency can be externally programmed. Protection features include VCC under-voltage lockout, current limit, output over voltage and under voltage protection, short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. The AOZ2262AQI-18 is available in 23-pin 4mm x 4mm QFN package. Enable and Soft Start The AOZ2262AQI-18 has external soft start feature to limit in-rush current and ensure the output voltage ramps up smoothly to regulation voltage. A soft start process begins when VCC rises to 4.5V and voltage on EN pin is HIGH. An internal current source charges the external soft start capacitor; the FB voltage follows the voltage of soft start pin (VSS) when it is lower than 0.8V. When VSS is higher than 0.8V, the FB voltage is regulated by internal precise band-gap voltage (0.8V). When VSS is higher than 3.3V, the PGOOD signal is high. The soft start time can be calculated by the following formula: TSS(µs) = 330 x CSS(nF) If CSS is 1nF, the soft start time will be 330µs; if CSS is 10nF, the soft start time will be 3.3ms VOUT VCC Level VSS 3.3V 0.8VREF VEN PGOOD TSS Figure 1. Soft-Start Sequence of AOZ2262AQI-18 Constant-On-Time PWM Control with Input Feed-Forward The control algorithm of AOZ2262AQI-18 is constant-ontime PWM Control with input feed-forward. The simplified control schematic is shown in Figure. 2. The high-side switch on-time is determined solely by a one-shot whose pulse width can be programmed by one external resistor and is inversely proportional to input voltage (IN). The one-shot is triggered when the internal 0.8V is higher than the combined information of FB voltage and the AC current information of inductor, which is processed and obtained through the sensed lower-side MOSFET current once it turns-on. The added AC current information can help the stability of constant-on time control even with pure ceramic output capacitors, which have very low ESR. The AC current information has no DC offset, which does not cause offset with output load change, which is fundamentally different from other V2 constant-on time control schemes.

The internal circuit of AOZ2262AQI-18 sets the on-time of high-side switch inversely proportional to the IN. R TON    T ON  ------------------------V IN  V  (1) To achieve the flux balance of inductor, the buck converter has the equation: V OUT F SW = --------------------------V IN  T ON (2) A further simplified equation will be: V OUT  V  6 F SW  kHz  = ------------------------------------------------  10 V IN  V   T ON  ns  (3) If VOUT is 1.05V, VIN is 19V, and set FS = 500kHz. According to equation 3, TON = 110ns is needed. Finally, use the TON to RTON curve, we can find out RTON is 82k. This algorithm results in a nearly constant switching frequency despite the lack of a fixed-frequency clock generator. True Current Mode Control Once the product of VIN x TON is constant, the switching frequency keeps constant and is independent with input voltage. An external resistor between the IN and TON pin sets the switching on-time according to the following curves: On-Time vs. On-Time Resistance On-Time (nS) (@ VIN=5V~15V) 1130 1064 998 932 866 800 734 668 602 536 470 404 338 272 206 140 VIN=5V VIN=7V VIN=9V VIN=11V VIN=13V VIN=15V The AOZ2262AQI-18 senses the low-side MOSFET current and processes it into DC and AC current information using AOS proprietary technique. The AC current information is decoded and added on the FB pin on phase. With AC current information, the stability of constant-on-time control is significantly improved even without the help of output capacitor’s ESR, and thus the pure ceramic capacitor solution can be applicable. The pure ceramic capacitor solution can significantly reduce the output ripple (no ESR caused overshoot and undershoot) and less board area design.

To detect real current information, a minimum constant-off (300ns typical) is implemented after a constant-on time. If the current exceeds the current-limit threshold, the PWM controller is not allowed to initiate a new cycle. The actual peak current is greater than the current-limit threshold by an amount equal to the inductor ripple current. Therefore, the exact current-limit characteristic and maximum load capability are a function of the inductor value as well as input and output voltages. The current limit will keep the low-side MOSFET ON and will not allow another highside on-time, until the current in the low-side MOSFET reduces below the current limit. After 64 switching cycles, the AOZ2262AQI-18 considers this is a true failed condition and therefore, turns-off both high-side and low-side MOSFETs and latches off. Only when triggered, the enable can restart the AOZ2262AQI18 again. Figure 3.

Only when triggered, the enable can restart the AOZ2262AQI-18 again. Output Voltage Over-Voltage Protection The threshold of OVP is set 20% higher than 0.8V. When the VFB voltage exceeds the OVP threshold, the highside MOSFET is turned-off and the low-side MOSFETs is turned-on at 1µs, then latch-off. VO -------- = m V IN The relation between the input capacitor RMS current and voltage conversion ratio is calculated and shown in Figure 4. It can be seen that when VO is half of VIN, CIN is under the worst current stress. The worst current stress on CIN is 0.5 x IO. 0.5 Power Good Output 0.4 The power good (PGOOD) output, which is an open drain output, requires the pull-up resistor. When the output voltage is 15% below than the nominal regulation voltage, the PGOOD is pulled low. When the output voltage is 20% higher than the nominal regulation voltage, the PGOOD is also pulled low. ICIN_RMS(m) 0.3 IO 0.2 0.1 0 When combined with the under-voltage-protection circuit, this current limit method is effective in almost every circumstance. Application Information The basic AOZ2262AQI-18 application circuit is shown in page 2. Component selection is explained below. Input Capacitor The input capacitor must be connected to the IN pins and PGND pin of the AOZ2262AQI-18 to maintain steady input voltage and filter out the pulsing input current. A small decoupling capacitor, usually 4.7µF, should be connected to the VCC pin and AGND pin for stable operation of the AOZ2262AQI-18. The voltage rating of input capacitor must be greater than maximum input voltage plus ripple voltage. 1 Figure 4. ICIN vs. Voltage Conversion Ratio For reliable operation and best performance, the input capacitors must have current rating higher than ICIN-RMS at worst operating conditions. Ceramic capacitors are preferred for input capacitors because of their low ESR and high ripple current rating. Depending on the application circuits, other low ESR tantalum capacitor or aluminum electrolytic capacitor may also be used. When selecting ceramic capacitors, X5R or X7R type dielectric ceramic capacitors are preferred for their better temperature and voltage characteristics. Note that the ripple current rating from capacitor manufactures is based on certain amount of life time. Further de-rating may be necessary for practical design requirement. The inductor is used to supply constant current to output when it is driven by a switching voltage. For given input and output voltage, inductance and switching frequency together decide the inductor ripple current, which is: VO  VO IO  V IN = -----------------   1 – ---------  --------V IN V IN f  C IN  Since the input current is discontinuous in a buck converter, the current stress on the input capacitor is another concern when selecting the capacitor. For a buck circuit, the RMS value of input capacitor current can be calculated by: Rev. 2.0 February 2021 0.5 m Inductor The input ripple voltage can be approximated by equation below: VO  VO  I CIN_RMS = I O  ---------  1 – --------- V IN  V IN 0 VO  VO  I L = -----------   1 – --------- V IN fL  The peak inductor current is: I L I Lpeak = I O + -------2 www.aosmd.com Page 10 of 15 AOZ2262AQI-18 High inductance gives low inductor ripple current but requires a larger size inductor to avoid saturation. Low ripple current reduces inductor core losses. It also reduces RMS current through inductor and switches, which results in less conduction loss. Usually, peak to peak ripple current on inductor is designed to be 30% to 50% of output current. When selecting the inductor, make sure it is able to handle the peak current without saturation even at the highest operating temperature. The inductor takes the highest current in a buck circuit. The conduction loss on the inductor needs to be checked for thermal and efficiency requirements. Surface mount inductors in different shapes and styles are available from Coilcraft, Elytone and Murata. Shielded inductors are small and radiate less EMI noise, but they do cost more than unshielded inductors. The choice depends on EMI requirement, price and size. Output Capacitor The output capacitor is selected based on the DC output voltage rating, output ripple voltage specification and ripple current rating. The selected output capacitor must have a higher rated voltage specification than the maximum desired output voltage including ripple. De-rating needs to be considered for long term reliability. Output ripple voltage specification is another important factor for selecting the output capacitor. In a buck converter circuit, output ripple voltage is determined by inductor value, switching frequency, output capacitor value and ESR. It can be calculated by the equation below: 1 V O = I L   ESR CO + -------------------------  8fC  If the impedance of ESR at switching frequency dominates, the output ripple voltage is mainly decided by capacitor ESR and inductor ripple current. The output ripple voltage calculation can be further simplified to: V O = I L  ESR CO For lower output ripple voltage across the entire operating temperature range, X5R or X7R dielectric type of ceramic, or other low ESR tantalum are recommended to be used as output capacitors. In a buck converter, output capacitor current is continuous. The RMS current of output capacitor is decided by the peak to peak inductor ripple current. It can be calculated by: I L I CO_RMS = ---------12 Usually, the ripple current rating of the output capacitor is a smaller issue because of the low current stress. When the buck inductor is selected to be very small and inductor ripple current is high, the output capacitor could be overstressed. Thermal Management and Layout Consideration In the AOZ2262AQI-18 buck regulator circuit, high pulsing current flows through two circuit loops. The first loop starts from the input capacitors, to the VIN pin, to the LX pins, to the filter inductor, to the output capacitor and load, and then returns to the input capacitor through ground. Current flows in the first loop when the high side switch is on. The second loop starts from the inductor, to the output capacitors and load, to the low side switch. Current flows in the second loop when the low side switch is on. ESRCO is the Equivalent Series Resistor of output capacitor. In PCB layout, minimizing the two loops area reduces the noise of this circuit and improves efficiency. A ground plane is strongly recommended to connect the input capacitor, output capacitor and PGND pin of the AOZ2262AQI-18. When a low ESR ceramic capacitor is used as output capacitor, the impedance of the capacitor at the switching frequency dominates. Output ripple is mainly caused by capacitor value and inductor ripple current. The output ripple voltage calculation can be simplified to: In the AOZ2262AQI-18 buck regulator circuit, the major power dissipating components are the AOZ2262AQI-18 and output inductor. The total power dissipation of the converter circuit can be measured by input power minus output power.

The maximum junction temperature of AOZ2262AQI-18 is 150ºC, which limits the maximum load current capability. 4. Decoupling capacitor CVCC should be connected to VCC and AGND as close as possible. 5. Voltage divider R1 and R2 should be placed as close as possible to FB and AGND. The thermal performance of the AOZ2262AQI-18 is strongly affected by the PCB layout. Extra care should be taken by users during design process to ensure that the IC will operate under the recommended environmental conditions. 6. RTON should be connected as close as possible to Pin 6 (TON pin). 7. A ground plane is preferred; Pin 19 (PGND) must be connected to the ground plane through via. 8. Keep sensitive signal traces such as feedback trace far away from the LX pins. Layout Considerations Several layout tips are listed below for the best electric and thermal performance. 9.
