STEP-DOWN DC/DC CONVERTER FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
General Description
REG1 is a fixed-frequency, current-mode, synchronous PWM step-down converters that achieves a peak efficiency of up to 97%. REG1 is capable of supplying up to 350mA of output current and operates with a fixed frequency of 1.6MHz, minimizing noise in sensitive applications and allowing the use of small external components. REG1 is available with a variety of standard and custom output voltages, as well as an adjustable output voltage option.
Rev0, 14-Mar-08
Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor reduces peak currents and noise induced upon the voltage source. A 2.2µF ceramic input capacitor is recommended for most applications.
Output Capacitor Selection
For most applications, a 10µF ceramic output capacitor is recommended. Although REG1 was 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.
100% Duty Cycle Operation
REG1 is capable of operating at up to 100% duty cycle. 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 battery-powered applications.
Inductor Selection
REG1 utilizes current-mode control and a proprietary internal compensation scheme to simultaneously simplify external component selection and optimize transient performance over its full operating range. REG1 was optimized for operation with a 3.3µH inductor, although inductors in the 2.2µH to 4.7µH range can be used. Choose an inductor 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%.
Synchronous Rectification
REG1 features an integrated n-channel synchronous rectifier, which maximizes efficiency and minimizes the total solution size and cost by eliminating the need for an external rectifier.
Enabling and Disabling REG1
REG1 is enabled or disabled using ON1. Drive ON1 to a logic-high to enable REG1. Drive ON1 to a logic-low to disable REG1, reducing supply current to less than 1µA
Thermal Shutdown
The ACT8332 integrates thermal shutdown protection circuitry to prevent damage resulting from excessive thermal stress, as may be encountered under fault conditions. This circuitry disables all regulators if the ACT8332 die temperature exceeds 160°C, and prevents the regulators from being enabled until the IC temperature drops by 20°C (typ).
Soft-Start
REG1 includes internal soft-start circuitry, and enabled its output voltage tracks an internal 80µs softstart ramp so that it powers up in a monotonic manner that is independent of loading.
Output Voltage Programming
Figure 4 shows the feedback network necessary to set the output voltage when using the adjustable output voltage option. Select components as follows: Set RFB2 = 51KΩ, then calculate RFB1 using the following equation:
Compensation
REG1 utilizes current-mode control and a proprietary internal compensation scheme to simultaneously simplify external component selection and optimize transient performance over its full operating range. No compensation design is required, simply follow a few simple guidelines described below when choosing external components.

Finally choose CFF using the following equation:

where RFB1 = 47kΩ, use 47pF.
PCB Layout Considerations
High switching frequencies and large peak currents 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 loops should be connected at a single point in a starground configuration, and this point should be connected to the backside ground plane with multiple vias. For fixed output voltage options, connect the output node directly to the FB1 pin. For adjustable output voltage options, connect the feedback resistors and feed-forward capacitor to the FB1 pin through the shortest possible route. In both cases, the feedback path should be routed to maintain sufficient distance from switching nodes to prevent noise injection. Finally, the exposed pad should be directly connected to the backside ground plane using multiple vias to achieve low electrical and thermal resistance.

LOW-DROPOUT LINEAR REGULATORS FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
General Description
REG2 and REG3 are low-noise, low-dropout linear regulators (LDOs) that are optimized for low-noise and high-PSRR operation, achieving more than 60dB PSRR at frequencies up to 10kHz.
Rev0, 14-Mar-08
A good design places input and output capacitors as close to the LDO inputs and output as possible, and utilizes a star-ground configuration for all regulators to prevent noise-coupling through ground. Output traces should be routed to avoid close proximity to noisy nodes, particularly the SW nodes of the DC/DCs.
Output Current Capability
REG2 and REG3 each supply 360mA of load current. Excellent performance is achieved over each regulator's entire load current ranges.
Output Current Limit
In order to ensure safe operation under over-load conditions, each LDO features current-limit circuitry with current fold-back. The current-limit circuitry limits the current that can be drawn from the output, providing protection in over-load conditions. For additional protection under extreme over current conditions, current-fold-back protection reduces the current-limit by approximately 30% under extreme overload conditions.
Enabling and Disabling the LDOs
REG2 and REG3 is enabled or disabled using ON1 and ON3. Drive ON1 and ON3 to a logic-high to enable REG2 and REG3. Drive ON1 and ON3 to a logic-low to disable REG2 and REG3, reducing supply current to less than 1µA.
Output Capacitor Selection
REG2 and REG3 each require only a small ceramic capacitor for stability. For best performance, each output capacitor should be connected directly between the OUT2 and OUT3 and G pins as possible, with a short and direct connection. To ensure best performance for the device, the output capacitor should have a minimum capacitance of 1µF, and ESR value between 10mΩ and 200mΩ. High quality ceramic capacitors such as X7R and X5R dielectric types are strongly recommended.
PCB Layout Considerations
The ACT8332’s LDOs provide good DC, AC, and noise performance over a wide range of operating conditions, and are relatively insensitive to layout considerations. When designing a PCB, however, careful layout is necessary to prevent other circuitry from degrading LDO performance.
