Functional Description
The AAT1141 is a high performance 600mA 2MHz monolithic step-down converter. It has been designed with the goal of minimizing external component size and optimizing efficiency over the complete load range. Apart from the small bypass input capacitor, only a small L-C filter is required at the output. Typically, a 4.7μH inductor and a 4.7μF ceramic capacitor are recommended (see table of values). The fixed output version requires only three external power components (CIN, COUT, and L). The adjustable version can be programmed with external feedback to any voltage, ranging from 0.6V to the input voltage. An addi-
tional feed-forward capacitor can also be added to the external feedback to provide improved transient response (see Figure 1). At dropout, the converter duty cycle increases to 100% and the output voltage tracks the input voltage minus the RDS(ON) drop of the P-channel high-side MOSFET. The input voltage range is 2.7V to 5.5V. The converter efficiency has been optimized for all load conditions, ranging from no load to 600mA. The internal error amplifier and compensation provides excellent transient response, load, and line regulation. Soft start eliminates any output voltage overshoot when the enable or the input voltage is applied.

Control Loop
The AAT1141 is a peak current mode step-down converter. The current through the P-channel MOSFET (high side) is sensed for current loop control, as well as short circuit and overload protection. A fixed slope compensation signal is added to the sensed current to maintain stability for duty cycles greater than 50%. The peak current mode loop appears as a voltage-programmed current source in parallel with the output capacitor. The output of the voltage error amplifier programs the current mode loop for the necessary peak switch current to force a constant output voltage for all load and line conditions. Internal loop compensation terminates the transconductance voltage error amplifier output. For fixed voltage versions, the error amplifier reference voltage is internally set to program the converter output voltage. For the adjustable output, the error amplifier reference is fixed at 0.6V.
Current Limit and Over-Temperature Protection
For overload conditions, the peak input current is limited. To minimize power dissipation and stresses under current limit and short-circuit conditions, switching is terminated after entering current limit for a series of pulses. Switching is terminated for seven consecutive clock cycles after a current limit has been sensed for a series of four consecutive clock cycles. Thermal protection completely disables switching when internal dissipation becomes excessive. The junction over-temperature threshold is 140°C with 15°C of hysteresis. Once an over-temperature or over-current fault condition is removed, the output voltage automatically recovers.
Under-Voltage Lockout
Internal bias of all circuits is controlled via the IN input. Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) guarantees sufficient VIN bias and proper operation of all internal circuitry prior to activation.
Soft Start / Enable
Soft start limits the current surge seen at the input and eliminates output voltage overshoot. When pulled low, the enable input forces the AAT1141 into a low-power, non-switching state. The total input current during shutdown is less than 1μA.

Applications Information
Inductor Selection
The step-down converter uses peak current mode control with slope compensation to maintain stability for duty cycles greater than 50%. The output inductor value must be selected so the inductor current down slope meets the internal slope compensation requirements. The internal slope compensation for the adjustable and low-voltage fixed versions of the AAT1141 is 0.24A/μsec. This equates to a slope compensation that is 75% of the inductor current down slope for a 1.5V output and 4.7μH inductor.
Fast Transient 600mA Step-Down Converter
The 4.7μH CDRH2D14 series inductor selected from Sumida has a 135mΩ typical DCR and a 1A DC current rating. At full load, the inductor DC loss is 48mW which gives a 4.5% loss in efficiency for a 600mA, 1.8V output.
Input Capacitor
Select a 4.7μF to 10μF X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor for the input. To estimate the required input capacitor size, determine the acceptable input ripple level (VPP) and solve for C. The calculated value varies with input voltage and is a maximum when VIN is double the output voltage.
0.75 · VO 0.75 · 1.5V A m= = = 0.24 L 4.7μH μs
This is the internal slope compensation for the adjustable (0.6V) version or low-voltage fixed versions. When externally programming the 0.6V version to 2.5V, the calculated inductance is 7.5μH.

0.75 · VO μs 0.75 · VO ≈ 3 A · VO L= = m A 0.24 μs =3 μs · 2.5V = 7.5μH A
In this case, a standard 6.8μH value is selected. For high-voltage fixed versions (≥2.5V), m = 0.48A/ μsec. Table 1 displays inductor values for the AAT1141 fixed and adjustable options. Manufacturer's specifications list both the inductor DC current rating, which is a thermal limitation, and the peak current rating, which is determined by the saturation characteristics. The inductor should not show any appreciable saturation under normal load conditions. Some inductors may meet the peak and average current ratings yet result in excessive losses due to a high DCR. Always consider the losses associated with the DCR and its effect on the total converter efficiency when selecting an inductor. Output Voltage (V)

The input capacitor provides a low impedance loop for the edges of pulsed current drawn by the AAT1141. Low ESR/ESL X7R and X5R ceramic capacitors are ideal for this function. To minimize stray inductance, the capacitor should be placed as closely as possible to the IC. This keeps the high frequency content of the input current localized, minimizing EMI and input voltage ripple. The proper placement of the input capacitor (C2) can be seen in the evaluation board layout in Figure 2.
Fast Transient 600mA Step-Down Converter
A laboratory test set-up typically consists of two long wires running from the bench power supply to the evaluation board input voltage pins. The inductance of these wires, along with the low-ESR ceramic input capacitor, can create a high Q network that may affect converter performance. This problem often becomes apparent in the form of excessive ringing in the output voltage during load transients. Errors in the loop phase and gain measurements can also result.

Since the inductance of a short PCB trace feeding the input voltage is significantly lower than the power leads from the bench power supply, most applications do not exhibit this problem. In applications where the input power source lead inductance cannot be reduced to a level that does not affect the converter performance, a high ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytic should be placed in parallel with the low ESR, ESL bypass ceramic. This dampens the high Q network and stabilizes the system.
Fast Transient 600mA Step-Down Converter
Dissipation due to the RMS current in the ceramic output capacitor ESR is typically minimal, resulting in less than a few degrees rise in hot-spot temperature.
Adjustable Output Resistor Selection
For applications requiring an adjustable output voltage, the 0.6V version can be externally programmed. Resistors R1 and R2 of Figure 5 program the output to regulate at a voltage higher than 0.6V. To limit the bias current required for the external feedback resistor string while maintaining good noise immunity, the minimum suggested value for R2 is 59kΩ. Although a larger value will further reduce quiescent current, it will also increase the impedance of the feedback node, making it more sensitive to external noise and interference. Table 2 summarizes the resistor values for various output voltages with R2 set to either 59kΩ for good noise immunity or 316kΩ for reduced no load input current.
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor limits the output ripple and provides holdup during large load transitions. A 4.7μF to 10μF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor typically provides sufficient bulk capacitance to stabilize the output during large load transitions and has the ESR and ESL characteristics necessary for low output ripple. The output voltage droop due to a load transient is dominated by the capacitance of the ceramic output capacitor. During a step increase in load current, the ceramic output capacitor alone supplies the load current until the loop responds. Within two or three switching cycles, the loop responds and the inductor current increases to match the load current demand. The relationship of the output voltage droop during the three switching cycles to the output capacitance can be estimated by:
⎛ VOUT ⎞ ⎛ 1.5V ⎞ R1 = V -1 · R2 = 0.6V - 1 · 59kΩ = 88.5kΩ ⎝ REF ⎠ ⎝ ⎠
The adjustable version of the AAT1141, combined with an external feedforward capacitor (C3 in Figure 1), delivers enhanced transient response for extreme pulsed load applications. The addition of the feedforward capacitor typically requires a larger output capacitor C1 for stability. High Noise Immunity R2 = 59kΩ R1 (kΩ)

Once the average inductor current increases to the DC load level, the output voltage recovers. The above equation establishes a limit on the minimum value for the output capacitor with respect to load transients. The internal voltage loop compensation also limits the minimum output capacitor value to 4.7μF. This is due to its effect on the loop crossover frequency (bandwidth), phase margin, and gain margin. Increased output capacitance will reduce the crossover frequency with greater phase margin. The maximum output capacitor RMS ripple current is given by: VOUT (V)

Thermal Calculations
There are three types of losses associated with the AAT1141 step-down converter: switching losses, conduction losses, and quiescent current losses. Conduction losses are associated with the RDS(ON) characteristics of the power output switching devices. Switching losses are dominated by the gate charge of the power output switching devices. At full load, assuming continuous conduction mode (CCM), a simplified form of the LDO losses is given by:
Fast Transient 600mA Step-Down Converter
Since RDS(ON), quiescent current, and switching losses all vary with input voltage, the total losses should be investigated over the complete input voltage range. Given the total losses, the maximum junction temperature can be derived from the θJA for the SOT23-5 package which is 150°C/W.
TJ(MAX) = PTOTAL · ΘJA + TAMB
Output Dropout
PTOTAL = IO2 · (RDSON(HS) · VO + RDSON(LS) · [VIN - VO]) VIN
At dropout, the duty cycle of AAT1141 switching is 100%. The minimum dropout voltage is determined by RDS(ON)H and the inductor copper loss resistor. AAT1141 has 0.35Ω RDS(ON)H. The inductor copper loss resistor varies with different inductor values and manufacturer. The safe dropout voltage is 0.5V for a 600mA load. For example, when load current is 600mA, the voltage dropped across RDS(ON)H is 0.21V; if the inductor copper loss resistor is 135mΩ, the voltage drop across the inductor is 0.08V. So the total voltage drop is 0.29V. Considering manufacturer’s tolerances, the inductor copper loss resistor and RDS(ON)H will vary from part to part, a 0.4V dropout window is safe.
+ (tsw · F · IO + IQ) · VIN
IQ is the step-down converter quiescent current. The term tsw is used to estimate the full load step-down converter switching losses. For the condition where the step-down converter is in dropout at 100% duty cycle, the total device dissipation reduces to:

Efficiency
Besides the AAT1141 device losses including switching losses, conduction losses, and quiescent current losses, the inductor copper loss also affects the efficiency of the buck converter. To the buck converter, the average current of the inductor is equal to output current IO. So the loss in the inductor is:

Layout
The suggested 2-layer PCB layout for the AAT1141 is shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4. The following guide lines should be used to help ensure a proper layout. 1. The power traces (GND, LX, VIN) should be kept short, direct, and wide to allow large current flow. Place sufficient multiple-layer pads when needed to change the trace layer. The input capacitor (C1) should connect as closely as possible to IN and GND. The output capacitor C2 and L1 should be connected as closely as possible. The connection of L1 to the LX pin should be as short as possible and there should not be any signal lines under the inductor. The feedback trace or OUT pin should be separate from any power trace and connect as closely as possible to the load point. Sensing along a high-current load trace will degrade DC load regulation. If external feedback resistors are used, they should be placed as closely as possible to the OUT pin to minimize the length of the high impedance feedback trace. The resistance of the trace from the load return to GND should be kept to a minimum. This will help to minimize any error in DC regulation due to differences in the potential of the internal signal ground and the power ground.
PLOSS_L = IO2 · RL
Table 4 shows some recommended inductors. A larger size inductor usually has lower DCR. For example, if selecting CDRH2D14 4.7μH for 1.8V output, the PLoss_L is 48.6mW when the output current is 600mA, so the inductor loses 4.5% power; if selecting CDRH3D23 4.7μH, the PLoss_L should be 19.8mW, and the inductor power loss ratio is only 1.8%. The inductor size and the buck converter efficiency is always a trade-off in the real application.
