The converter operates as follows: A switching cycle starts when the rising edge of the Oscillator clock output causes the High-Side Power Switch to turn on and the Low-Side Power Switch to turn off. With the SW side of the inductor now connected to IN, the inductor current ramps up to store energy in the magnetic field. The inductor current level is measured by the Current Sense Amplifier and added to the Oscillator ramp signal. If the resulting summation is higher than the COMP voltage, the output of the PWM Comparator goes high. When this happens or when Oscillator clock output goes low, the High-Side Power Switch turns off and the Low-Side Power Switch turns on. At this point, the SW side of the inductor swings to a diode voltage below ground, causing the inductor current to decrease and magnetic energy to be transferred to output. This state continues until the cycle starts again. The High-Side Power Switch is driven by logic using BS as the positive rail. This pin is charged to VSW + 6V when the Low-Side Power Switch turns on. The COMP voltage is the integration of the error between FB input and the internal 1.293V Innovative PowerTM -4- reference. If FB is lower than the reference voltage, COMP tends to go higher to increase current to the output. Current limit happens when COMP reaches its maximum clamp value of 2.55V. The Oscillator normally switches at 400kHz. However, if FB voltage is less than 0.7V, then the switching frequency decreases until it reaches a typical value of 60kHz at VFB = 0.5V. Shutdown Control The ACT4060A has an enable input EN for turning the IC on or off. When EN is less than 0.7V, the IC is in 10μA low current shutdown mode and output is discharged through the Low-Side Power Switch. When EN is higher than 1.3V, the IC is in normal operation mode. EN is internally pulled up with a 2μA current source and can be left unconnected for always-on operation. Note that EN is a low voltage input with a maximum voltage of 6V, it should never be directly connected to IN. Thermal Shutdown The ACT4060A automatically turns off when its junction temperature exceeds 160°C. www.active-semi.com Copyright © 2009 Active-Semi, Inc. ACT4060A APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Output Voltage Setting Figure 1: Output Voltage Setting VOUT ACT4060A FB RFB2 RFB1 Rev 1, 25-Jun-09 Input Capacitor The input capacitor needs to be carefully selected to maintain sufficiently low ripple at the supply input of the converter. A low ESR capacitor is highly recommended. Since large current flows in and out of this capacitor during switching, its ESR also affects efficiency. The input capacitance needs to be higher than 10µF. The best choice is the ceramic type, however, low ESR tantalum or electrolytic types may also be used provided that the RMS ripple current rating is higher than 50% of the output current. The input capacitor should be placed close to the IN and G pins of the IC, with the shortest traces possible. In the case of tantalum or electrolytic types, they can be further away if a small parallel 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is placed right next to the IC. Figure 1 shows the connections for setting output voltage. Select the proper ratio of the feedback resistors RFB1 and RFB2 based on output voltage. Typically, use RFB2 ≈ 10kΩ determine RFB1 from the following equation: the two the and (1) ⎛V ⎞ R FB1 = R FB 2 ⎜ OUT − 1 ⎟ 1.293V ⎝ ⎠ Output Capacitor The output capacitor also needs to have low ESR to keep low output voltage ripple. The output ripple voltage is: VRIPPLE = I OUTMAX K RIPPLE R ESR Inductor Selection The inductor maintains a continuous current to the output load. This inductor current has a ripple that is dependent on the inductance value: higher inductance reduces the peak-to-peak ripple current. The trade off for high inductance value is the increase in inductor core size and series resistance, and the reduction in current handling capability. In general, select an inductance value L based on ripple current requirement: + VIN 28 × fSW LC OUT 2 (3) L= VOUT × (VIN − VOUT ) VIN fSW IOUTMAX K RIPPLE (2) where VIN is the input voltage, VOUT is the output voltage, fSW is the switching frequency, IOUTMAX is the maximum output current, and KRIPPLE is the ripple factor. Typically, choose KRIPPLE = 30% to correspond to the peak-to-peak ripple current being 30% of the maximum output current. With this inductor value, the peak inductor current is IOUT × (1 + KRIPPLE/2). Make sure that this peak inductor current is less that the 3A current limit. Finally, select the inductor core size so that it does not saturate at 3A. Typical inductor values for various output voltages are shown in Table 1. Table 1: Typical Inductor Values VOUT L where IOUTMAX is the maximum output current, KRIPPLE is the ripple factor, RESR is the ESR of the output capacitor, fSW is the switching frequency, L is the inductor value, and COUT is the output capacitance. In the case of ceramic output capacitors, RESR is very small and does not contribute to the ripple. Therefore, a lower capacitance value can be used for ceramic type. In the case of tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, the ripple is dominated by RESR multiplied by the ripple current. In that case, the output capacitor is chosen to have sufficiently low ESR. For ceramic output capacitor, typically choose a capacitance of about 22µF. For tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, choose a capacitor with less than 50mΩ ESR. Rectifier Diode Use a Schottky diode as the rectifier to conduct current when the High-Side Power Switch is off. The Schottky diode must have current rating higher than the maximum output current and a reverse voltage rating higher than the maximum input voltage. 1.5V 6.8μH 1.8V 6.8μH 2.5V 10μH 3.3V 15μH 5V 22μH -5- Innovative PowerTM www.active-semi.com Copyright © 2009 Active-Semi, Inc. ACT4060A STABILITY COMPENSATION Figure 2: Stability Compensation COMP Rev 1, 25-Jun-09 STEP 2. Set the zero fZ1 at 1/4 of the cross over frequency. If RCOMP is less than 15kΩ, the equation for CCOMP is: C COMP = 1 .8 × 10 −5 R COMP (F) (10) ACT4060A CCOMP CCOMP2 RCOMP If RCOMP is limited to 15kΩ, then the actual cross over frequency is 3.4 / (VOUTCOUT). Therefore: CCOMP = 1.2 ×10 −5 VOUT COUT (F) (11) : CCOMP2 is needed only for high ESR output capacitor The feedback loop of the IC is stabilized by the components at the COMP pin, as shown in Figure 2. The DC loop gain of the system is determined by the following equation: STEP 3. If the output capacitor’s ESR is high enough to cause a zero at lower than 4 times the cross over frequency, an additional compensation capacitor CCOMP2 is required. The condition for using CCOMP2 is: ⎛ 1.1 × 10 −6 ⎞ RESRCOUT ≥ Min⎜ ,0.012 × VOUT ⎟ (Ω) ⎜C ⎟ OUT ⎝ ⎠ And the proper value for CCOMP2 is: (12) AVDC = 1 .3V AVEA GCOMP I OUT (4) The dominant pole P1 is due to CCOMP: fP1 = G EA 2 π AVEA C COMP CCOMP2 = (5) COUT RESRCOUT RCOMP (13) The second pole P2 is the output pole: fP 2 = I OUT 2 π V OUT C OUT Though CCOMP2 is unnecessary when the output capacitor has sufficiently low ESR, a small value CCOMP2 such as 100pF may improve stability against PCB layout parasitic effects.

Place all the power components (Diode, Inductor, filter Capacitors) as close as possible. Use short and wide trace between them. If double layer PCB is used, it is good if the bottom layer is almost fill as ground. Use ground planes for power ground and signal ground, connect signal ground and power ground at single point close to the IC GND. Arrange the power components so that the switching current loop curl in the same direction. Separate noise sensitive traces, such as the voltage feedback path, compensation from noisy sources such as inductor, diode, input capacitor. Place components, such as compensation, feedback network and boost-trap capacitors, as close to the IC as possible. Ceramic cap C1 is closely placed across VIN and GND of the IC, as close as possible.
