MIC28512-2YFL-EV

MIC28512 Evaluation Board 70V/2A Synchronous Buck Regulator General Description Requirements Micrel’s MIC28512 is a synchronous step-down regulator featuring unique adaptive on-time control architecture with integrated power MOSFETs. The MIC28512 operates over an input supply range of 4.6V to 70V, and can be used to supply up to 2A of output current. The output voltage is adjustable down to 0.8V with a guaranteed accuracy of ±1% from 0°C to 85°C. The device operates with a programmable switching frequency from 200kHz to 680kHz (nominal). The MIC28512 evaluation board requires only a single power supply with at least 5A current capability. For applications where VIN is less than +5.5V, the internal LDO can be bypassed by tying VDD to VIN. ® The MIC28512-1 uses the HyperLight Load architecture to operate in pulse-skipping mode at light load while functioning in fixed-frequency CCM mode from medium load to heavy load. The MIC28512-2 utilizes Hyper Speed TM Control architecture, operating in fixed-frequency CCM mode under all load conditions. Datasheets and support documentation are available on Micrel’s web site at: www.micrel.com. Precautions The MIC28512 evaluation board does not have reverse polarity protection. Applying a negative voltage to the VIN and GND terminals can damage the device. The maximum VIN of the board is rated at 70V; exceeding 70V can damage the device.

MIC28512 Evaluation Board Where: Getting Started VREF = 0.8V, and R1 is 10.0kΩ. 1. Connect VIN Supply Connect a supply to the VIN and GND terminals, paying careful attention to the polarity and the supply range (4.6V < VIN < 70V). Monitor IIN with a current meter and monitor input voltage at VIN and GND terminals with a voltmeter. Do not apply power until Step 4. With jumpers J11, J8, and J7 removed, the output regulates at the 0.8V reference voltage. All other voltages not listed can be set by modifying R9 with Jumper J7 installed according to Equation 2: R9 = 2. Connect Load and Monitor Input Connect a load to the VOUT and GND terminals. The load can be either a passive or an active electronic load. A current meter can be placed between the VOUT terminal and load to monitor the output current. Ensure the output voltage is monitored at the VOUT terminal. R1× VREF VOUT - VREF Eq. 2 Jumper J12 shorts out the feedback and forces the converter to operate open loop and approach 100% duty cycle. SW Node Use test point J1 (VSW) for monitoring the power MOSFET switching waveform. 3. Enable Input The EN terminal has an on board 100kΩ pull-up resistor (R16) to VIN, which allows the output to be turned on when PVDD exceeds its UVLO threshold. An EN (J16) connector is provided on the evaluation board for ease-of-access to the enable feature. Applying an external logic signal on the EN terminal to pull it low or using a jumper to short the EN terminal to the GND terminal will disable the MIC28512 evaluation board. Current Limit The MIC28512 uses the RDS(ON) and external resistor connected from ILIM to the SW node to decide the current limit (see Figure 1). 4. Apply Power Apply VIN and verify that the output voltage regulates to the set voltage. Evaluation Board Description The basic parameters of the evaluation board are: • Input range: 4.6V to 70V • Output range: 0.8V to 0.85V × VIN at 2A. (For more detailed information, refer to Typical Characteristics section. Note that 0.85V is the maximum duty cycle of the MIC28512 controller) Figure 1. MIC28512 Current-Limiting Circuit In each switching cycle of the MIC28512 converter the inductor current is sensed by monitoring the low-side MOSFET in the OFF period. The sensed voltage V(ILIM) is compared with the power ground (PGND) after a blanking time of 150ns. In this way, the drop voltage over the resistor R22 (VCL) is compared with the drop over the bottom FET generating the short current limit. The small capacitor (C18) connected from ILIM to PGND filters the switching node ringing during the off time which allows a better short-limit measurement. The time constant created by R22 and C18 should be much less than the minimum off time. • 300kHz switching frequency (Adjustable 200kHz to 680kHz) Feedback Resistors With Jumper J11 in place, the output voltage is set to 5.0V as determined by the feedback dividers R1 and R11. Jumper J8 sets the output voltage to 3.3V. With jumper J7 in place the output is set by modifying R9, as illustrated in Equation 1: R1   VOUT = VREF ×  1 +  R 9  April 8, 2015 The VCL drop allows programming of short limit through the value of the resistor (R22). If the absolute value of the voltage drop on the bottom FET is greater than VCL, V(ILIM) is lower than PGND and a short-circuit event is triggered. Eq. 1 2 Revision 1.0 Micrel, Inc. MIC28512 Evaluation Board A “hiccup” soft-start cycle is generated, reducing the stress on the power switching FETs while protecting the load and supply during severe short conditions. The MIC28512 evaluation board was designed with a 8.2µH inductor for operation at 300kHz at 5V output. The typical value of RWINDING(DCR) of this particular inductor is 44mΩ. The short circuit current limit can be programmed by using Equation 3: R 22 = (ICLIM - ΔIL (PP) × 0.5) × R DS(ON) + VCL Setting the Switching Frequency The MIC28512 switching frequency can be adjusted by changing the value of resistor R17. The top resistor (R19) is set at 100kΩ and is connected between VIN and FREQ. R4 is connected from the FREQ input to PGND and sets the switching frequency according to Equation 4. Eq. 3 ICL Where: ICLIM = Desired current limit RDS(ON) = On-resistance of low-side power MOSFET, 28mΩ typically VCL = Current-limit threshold (typical absolute value is 14mV, per the Electrical Characteristics section in the MIC28512 datasheet) ICL = Current-limit source current (typical value is 70µA, per the Electrical Characteristics section in the MIC28512 datasheet). Figure 2. Switching Frequency Adjustment ΔIL(PP) = Inductor current peak-to-peak fSW _ ADJ = fO × The peak-to-peak inductor current ripple is: ∆IL(PP) = VOUT × (VIN(MAX) - VOUT ) VIN(MAX) × fsw × L R17 R19 + R17 Eq. 4 Where: Eq. 4 fO = Switching frequency when R17 is open, per the Electrical Characteristics section in the MIC28512 datasheet. In case of hard short, the short current-limit threshold (VCL) is reduced by half to the short-circuit threshold. This allows an indefinite hard short on the output without any destructive effect. It is critical to make sure that the inductor current used to charge the output capacitance during soft start is below the foldback short-circuit level; otherwise the supply can go into hiccup mode and latch up at start up. This should be verified over the operating temperature range as well. For a more precise setting, it is recommended to use the Figure 3: The MOSFET RDS(ON) varies 30% to 40% with temperature. Therefore, it is recommended to add a 50% margin to ICL in Equation 4 to avoid false current limiting due to increased MOSFET junction temperature rise.
