NCP6360
Mini Buck Converter for
RF Power Amplifiers
The NCP6360, a PWM synchronous step−down DC−to−DC
converter, is optimized for supplying RF Power Amplifiers (PAs) used
into 3G/4G wireless systems (Mobile/ Smart Phones, Phablets,
Tablets, ...) powered by single−cell Lithium−Ion batteries. The device
is able to deliver up to 800 mA. The output voltage is monitorable
from 0.6 V to 3.4 V by an analog control pin VCON. The analog
control allows dynamically optimizing the RF Power Amplifier’s
efficiency during a communication while for example in roaming
situation with as a benefit an increased talk time. Also at light load for
optimizing the DC−to−DC converter efficiency, the NCP6360 enters
automatically in a PFM mode and operates in a slower switching
frequency corresponding to a reduced quiescent current in regards to
the PWM mode for which the device operates at a switching frequency
of 6 MHz. Synchronous rectification offers improved system
efficiency. The NCP6360 is available in a space saving, low profile
1.5 x 1.0 mm CSP−6 package.

NCP6360
OPERATING DESCRIPTION
General Description
synchronous converter provides a lower voltage drop than
the diode in an asynchronous converter, which provides less
loss and higher efficiency.
The NCP6360 is a voltage−mode standalone synchronous
step−down DC−to−DC converter designed to supply RF
Power Amplifiers (PAs) used into 3G/4G wireless systems
(Mobile/ Smart Phones, Phablets, Tablets, ...) powered by
single−cell Lithium−Ion batteries. The IC can deliver up to
800 mA when operating in PWM mode.
The buck converter output voltage ranging from 0.6 V to
3.4 V can be monitored by the system’s PA output RF power
through the control pin VCON. The control voltage range is
from 0.24 V to 1.36 V and Vout is equal to 2.5 times this
control voltage. VCON allows the PA to have its efficiency
dynamically optimized during communication calls in the
case for example of roaming situation involving a constant
adjustment of the PA output power. The value−added benefit
is an increase of the absolute talk time.
Synchronous rectification and automatic PFM/PWM
operating mode transitions improve overall solution
efficiency. The device operates at 6 MHz switching
frequency.
PFM (Pulse Frequency Modulation) Operating Mode
In order to save power and improve efficiency at low loads
the NCP6360 operates in PFM mode as the inductor drops
into DCM (Discontinuous Current Mode). The upper FET
on time is kept constant and the switching frequency is
variable. Output voltage is regulated by varying the
switching frequency which becomes proportional to loading
current. As it does in PWM mode, the internal N−MOSFET
operates as synchronous rectifier after each P−MOSFET
on−pulse. When load increases and current in inductor
becomes continuous again, the controller automatically
turns back to PWM mode.
Sleep Mode
The NCP6360 device enters the sleep mode in about 4ms
when the control voltage VCON goes below typically
70 mV. Vout is extremely low, close to 0 V and in a state out
of regulation. In this Vout condition the Sleep mode enables
a low current state (40 mA typical range). The buck
converter exits the sleep mode and returns in a regulation
state when VCON goes above 110 mV after typically 5 ms.
Buck DC−to−DC Converter Operating
The converter is a synchronous rectifier type with both
high side and low side integrated switches. Neither external
transistor nor diodes are required for NCP6360 operation.
Feedback and compensation network are also fully
integrated. The device can operate in four different modes:
shutdown mode (EN = Low, device off), Sleep Mode when
VCON below about 0.1 V, PFM mode for efficiency
optimization purpose when operating at light load and PWM
mode when operating in medium and high loads. The
transitions between PWM and PFM modes occur
automatically.
Inductor Peak Current limitations
During normal operation, peak current limitation will
monitor and limit the current through the inductor. This
current limitation is particularly useful when size and/or
height constrain inductor power. The High Side Switch
(HSS) peak current limitation is typically 1.5 A, while the
Low Side Switch (LSS) has a peak current up to 0.8 A. The
HSS peak current contributes to limit the current during soft
start sequence in high load conditions.
Shutdown Mode
The NCP6360 enters shutdown mode when setting the EN
pin Low (below 0.4 V) or when PVIN drops below its
UVLO threshold value (2.35 V typical). In shutdown mode,
the internal reference, oscillator and most of the control
circuitries are turned off. The typical current consumption is
0.7 mA. Applying a voltage above 1.1 V to EN pin will
enable the device for normal operation. A soft−start
sequence is run when activating EN high. EN pin should be
activated after the input voltage is applied.
Under−voltage Lockout (UVLO)
NCP6360 core does not operate for voltages below the
Under Voltage lock Out (UVLO) level. Below UVLO
threshold (typical 2.35 V), all internal circuitry (both analog
and digital) is held in reset. NCP6360 operation is not
guaranteed down to VUVLO when battery voltage is
dropping off. To avoid erratic on / off behavior,a typical
100 mV hysteresis is implemented. Restart is guaranteed at
2.6 V when VBAT voltage is recovering or rising.
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Operating Mode
Power−Up / Power−Down Sequencing
In medium and high load conditions, the NCP6360
operates in PWM mode from a fixed clock (6 MHz) and
adapts its duty cycle to regulate the desired output voltage.
In this mode, the inductor current is in CCM (Continuous
Current Mode) and the voltage is regulated by PWM. The
internal N−MOSFET switch operates as synchronous
rectifier and is driven complementary to the P−MOSFET
switch. In CCM, the lower switch (N−MOSFET) in a
The EN pin controls NCP6360 start up. EN pin Low to
High transition starts the power up sequencer which is
combined with a soft start consisting to limit the inrush
current at 800 mA while the output voltage is establishing.
If EN is made low, the DC to DC converter is turned off and
device enters shutdown mode.
A built−in pull−down resistor disables the device when
this pin is left unconnected or not driven.

IC from damage. This protection circuitry is only activated
when the core is in active mode (output voltage is turned on).
During thermal shut down, output voltage is turned off and
the device enters sleep mode.
Thermal shut down threshold is set at 155°C (typical)
when the die temperature increases and, in order to avoid
erratic on / off behavior, a 35°C hysteresis is implemented.
So, after a typical 155°C thermal shut down, the NCP6360
will return to normal operation when the die temperature
cools to 120°C. This normal operation depends on the input
conditions and configuration at the time the device recovers.
In order to power up the circuit, the input voltage PVIN
has to rise above the UVLO threshold (Rising UVLO). This
triggers the internal core circuitry power up which is the
“Wake Up Time” (including “Bias Time”).
This delay is internal and cannot be bypassed.
The power down sequence is triggered by setting Low the
EN pin. The output voltage goes down to 0 V.
Thermal Shutdown Feature (TSD)
The thermal capability of IC can be exceeded due to step
down converter output stage power level. A thermal
protection circuitry is therefore implemented to prevent the

Output Capacitor Selection
ripple and get better decoupling in the input power supply
rail, ceramic capacitor is recommended due to low ESR and
ESL. The minimum input capacitance regarding the input
ripple voltage VINPP is
The output capacitor selection is determined by output
voltage ripple and load transient response requirement. For
high transient load performance high output capacitor value
must be used. For a given peak−to−peak ripple current ILPP
in the inductor of the output filter, the output voltage ripple
across the output capacitor is the sum of three components
as below.

(eq. 3)
Where VOUTPP(C) is the ripple component coming from
an equivalent total capacitance of the output capacitors,
VOUTPP(ESR) is a ripple component from an equivalent ESR
of the output capacitors, and VOUTPP(ESL) is a ripple
component from an equivalent ESL of the output capacitors.
In PWM operation mode, the three ripple components can
be obtained by

The input capacitor needs also to be sufficient to protect
the device from over voltage spike and a minimum of 4.7 mF
capacitor is required. The input capacitor should be located
as close as possible to the IC. PGND is connected to the
ground terminal of the input cap which then connects to the
ground plane. The PVIN is connected to the VBAT terminal
of the input capacitor which then connects to the VBAT
plane.

Layout and PCB Design Recommendations
Good PCB layout helps high power dissipation from a
small package with reduced temperature rise. Thermal
layout guidelines are:
• A four or more layers PCB board with solid ground
planes is preferred for better heat dissipation.
• More free vias are welcome to be around IC to connect
the inner ground layers to reduce thermal impedance.
• Use large area copper especially in top layer to help
thermal conduction and radiation.
• Use two layers for the high current paths (PVIN,
PGND, SW) in order to split current in two different
paths and limit PCB copper self heating.
(eq. 7)
In applications with all ceramic output capacitors, the
main ripple component of the output ripple is VOUTPP(C).
So that the minimum output capacitance can be calculated
regarding to a given output ripple requirement VOUTPP in
PWM operation mode.
C MIN +
(eq. 9)
In addition the input capacitor needs to be able to absorb
the input current, which has a RMS value of:
And the peak−to−peak ripple current is:
