AMP CMP DH LOGIC LX OSC Temp. Sensing GND EN Applications Information Main Control Loop The AAT1154 is a peak current mode step-down converter. The inner wide bandwidth loop controls the inductor peak current. The inductor current is sensed as it flows through the internal P-channel MOSFET. A fixed slope compensation signal is then added to the sensed current to maintain stability for duty cycles greater than 50%. The inner loop appears as a voltage-programmed current source in parallel with the output capacitor. The voltage error amplifier output programs the current loop for the necessary inductor current to force a constant output voltage for all load and line conditions. The feedback resistive divider is internal, dividing the output voltage to the error amplifier reference voltage of 1V. The error amplifier has a limited DC gain. This eliminates the need for external compensation components, while still providing sufficient DC loop gain for good load regulation. The crossover frequency and phase margin are set by the output capacitor value. Duty cycle extends to 100% as the input voltage approaches the output voltage. Thermal shutdown protection disables the device in the event of a short-circuit or overload condition. Soft Start/Enable Soft start controls the current limit when the input voltage or enable is applied. It limits the current surge seen at the input and eliminates output voltage overshoot. When pulled low, the enable input forces the device into a low-power, non-switching state. The total input current during shutdown is less than 1µA. Power and Signal Source Separate small signal ground and power supply pins isolate the internal control circuitry from switching noise. In addition, the low pass filter R1 and C3 (shown in Figure 1) filters noise associated with the power switching. Current Limit and Over-Temperature Protection Over-temperature and current limit circuitry protects the AAT1154 and the external Schottky diode during overload, short-circuit, and excessive ambient temperature conditions. The junction over-temperature threshold is 140°C nominal and has 15°C of hysteresis. Typical graphs of the over-temperature load current vs. input voltage and ambient temperature are shown in the Typical Characteristics section of this document. 9 1154.2006.09.1.6 1MHz 3A Step-Down DC/DC Converter VIN 3.5V to 5.5V VOUT 3.3V @ 3A U1 AAT1154-3.3 FB VP L1 1.5µH + - AAT1154 C4 100µF R1 100 R2 100k GND LX EN C1 10µF C3 0.1µF LX VCC VP D1 B340LA C2 120µF rtn C1 Murata 10µF 6.3V X5R GRM42-6X5R106K6.3 C2 Vishay120µF 6.3V 594D127X96R6R3C2T C3 0. µF 0603ZD104M AVX 1 C4 Vishay Sprague 100µF 16V 595D107X0016C 100µF 16V D1 B340LA Diodes Inc.

Inductor The output inductor is selected to limit the ripple current to 20% to 40% of full load current at the maximum input voltage. 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 inductor saturation characteristics. The inductor should not show any appreciable saturation under normal load conditions. During overload and short-circuit conditions, the inductor can exceed its peak current rating without affecting converter performance. Some inductors may have sufficient peak and average current ratings yet result in excessive losses due to a high DC resistance (DCR). The losses associated with the DCR and its effect on the total converter efficiency must be considered. For a 3A load and the ripple current set to 30% at the maximum input voltage, the maximum peak-to-peak ripple current is 0.9A. Assuming a 5V ±5% input voltage and 30% ripple, the output inductance required is: L =I = OUT VOUT ⎞ VOUT ⎛ · k · FS · ⎝1 - VIN(MAX)⎠ 3.3V ⎞ ⎛ ⎞ ⎛ · 1 - 3.3V ⎝ 3A · 0.3 · 1MHz ⎠ ⎝ 5.25V⎠ = 1.36μH The factor "k" is the fraction of the full load (30%) selected for the ripple current at the maximum input voltage. The corresponding inductor RMS current is: IRMS = ⎛ 2 ΔI 2 ⎞ I+ ≈ I O = 3A ⎝O 12 ⎠ ΔI is the peak-to-peak ripple current which is fixed by the inductor selection above. For a peak-to-peak current of 30% of the full load current, the peak current at full load will be 115% of the full load. The 1.5µH inductor selected from the Sumida CDRH6D38 series has a 11mΩ DCR and a 4.0A DC current rating with a height of 4mm. At full load, the inductor DC loss is 99mW for a 1% loss in efficiency. 10 1154.2006.09.1.6 1MHz 3A Step-Down DC/DC Converter Schottky Freewheeling Diode The Schottky average current is the load current multiplied by one minus the duty cycle. For VIN at 5V and VOUT at 3.3V, the average diode current is: V 3.3V ⎞ = 1A I AVG = IO · ⎛1 - O ⎞ = 3A · ⎛1 ⎝ VIN ⎠ ⎝ 5.0V ⎠ AAT1154 and the output voltage. It is highest when the input voltage is double the output voltage where it is one half of the load current. IRMS = IO · VO ⎛ V · 1- O ⎞ VIN ⎝ VIN ⎠ With a 125°C maximum junction temperature and a 120°C/W thermal resistance, the maximum average current is: IAVG = T J(MAX)- T AMB = 125°C - 70°C = 1.14A 120 °C/ W · 0.4V A high ESR tantalum capacitor with a value about 10 times the input ceramic capacitor may also be required when using a 10µF or smaller ceramic input bypass capacitor. This dampens any input oscillations that may occur due to the source inductance resonating with the converter input impedance. θJA · VFWD Output Capacitor With no external compensation components, the output capacitor has a strong effect on loop stability. Larger output capacitance will reduce the crossover frequency with greater phase margin. A 200µF ceramic capacitor provides sufficient bulk capacitance to stabilize the output during large load transitions and has ESR and ESL characteristics necessary for very low output ripple. The RMS ripple current is given by: IRMS = (VOUT + VFWD) · (VIN - VOUT) L · FS · VIN 2· 3 · 1 For overload, short-circuit, and excessive ambient temperature conditions, the AAT1154 enters overtemperature shutdown mode, protecting the AAT1154 and the output Schottky. In this mode, the output current is limited internally until the junction temperature reaches the temperature limit (see over-temperature characteristics graphs). The diode reverse voltage must be rated to withstand the input voltage. 3A Surface Mount Schottky Diodes Diodes Inc. ROHM Micro Semi B340LA RB050L-40 5820SM 0.45V @ 3A 0.45V @ 3A 0.46V @ 3A Input Capacitor Selection The primary function of the input capacitor is to provide a low impedance loop for the edges of pulsed current drawn by the AAT1154. A low ESR/ESL ceramic capacitor is ideal for this function. To minimize stray inductance, the capacitor should be placed as closely as possible to the IC. This also keeps the high frequency content of the input current localized, minimizing the radiated and conducted EMI while facilitating optimum performance of the AAT1154. Proper placement of the input capacitor C1 is shown in the layout in Figure 2. Ceramic X5R or X7R capacitors are ideal. The size required will vary depending on the load, output voltage, and input voltage source impedance characteristics. Typical values range from 1µF to 10µF. The input capacitor RMS current varies with the input voltage For a ceramic output capacitor, the dissipation due to the RMS current and associated output ripple are negligible. Tantalum capacitors with sufficiently low ESR to meet output ripple requirements generally have an RMS current rating much greater than that actually seen in this application. The maximum tantalum output capacitor ESR is: ESR ≤ VRIPPLE ΔI where ΔI is the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current. Due to the ESR zero associated with the tantalum capacitor, smaller values than those required with ceramic capacitors provide more phase margin with a greater loop crossover frequency. 1154.2006.09.1.6 11 1MHz 3A Step-Down DC/DC Converter AAT1154 Figure 2: AAT1154 Fixed Output Top Side Layout. Figure 3: AAT1154 Fixed Output Bottom Side Layout. Layout Figures 2 and 3 display the suggested PCB layout for the fixed output AAT1154. The following guidelines should be used to help ensure a proper layout. 1. The connection from the input capacitor to the Schottky anode should be as short as possible. 2. The input capacitor should connect as closely as possible to VP (Pins 5 and 8) and GND (Pin 2). 3. C1, L1, and CR1 should be connected as closely as possible. The connection from the cathode of the Schottky to the LX node should be as short as possible. 4. The feedback trace (Pin 1) should be separate from any power trace and connect as closely as possible to the load point. Sensing along a high-current load trace can degrade DC load regulation. 5. The resistance of the trace from the load return to GND (Pin 2) 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 reference ground and the load return. 6. R1 and C3 are required in order to provide a cleaner power source for the AAT1154 control circuitry. P = I RMS2 · RDS(ON) ON RDS(ON) losses IRMS = 2 ⎛ 2 ΔI ⎞ IO + ·D ⎝ 12 ⎠ Internal switch RMS current D is the duty cycle and VF is the forward drop of the Schottky diode. D= VO + VF VIN + VF ΔI is the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current. A simplified form of calculating the RDS(ON) and switching losses is given by: P= I O 2 · R DS(ON) VO + tSW · FS · IO + IQ · VIN VIN where IQ is the AAT1154 quiescent current. Once the total losses have been determined, the junction temperature can be derived. The thermal resistance (ΘJA) for the SOP-8 package mounted on an FR4 printed circuit board in still air is 110°C/W. TJ = P · ΘJA + TAMB TAMB is the maximum ambient temperature and TJ is the resultant maximum junction temperature. Thermal The losses associated with the AAT1154 output switching MOSFET are due to switching losses and conduction losses. The conduction losses are associated with the RDS(ON) characteristics of the output switching device. At the full load condition, assuming continuous conduction mode (CCM), an accurate calculation of the RDS(ON) losses can be derived from the following equations: 12 1154.2006.09.1.6 1MHz 3A Step-Down DC/DC Converter Design Example (See Figures 1 and 4 for reference) IOUT IRIPPLE VOUT VIN FS TMAX 3A 30% of Full Load at Max VIN 3.3V 5V ±5% 1MHz 70°C P= ON = AAT1154 AAT1154 Junction Temperature IO2 · RDS(ON) · VO ⎛ tSW · FS · IO + IQ⎞ · VIN = + VIN 2 ⎝ ⎠ ⎞ 32 · 65mΩ · 3.3V ⎛ 20ns · 1MHz · 3A + + 750 μA ⎝ ⎠ 5V 2 = 0.539 Watts TJ(MAX)= TAMB + ΘJA · P = 70°C + 110°C / W · 0.54W = 129°C Inductor Selection L= = VOUT V · ⎛1 - OUT ⎞ IO · k · FS ⎝ VIN ⎠ Diode ⎛ V⎞ IDIODE= IO · 1 - O ⎝ VIN ⎠ ⎛ 3.3V ⎞ = 3A · 1 = 1.02A ⎝ 5V ⎠ VF = 0.35 V 3.3V ⎛ 3.3 V ⎞ · 1= 1.25μH 3A · 0.3 ·1MHz ⎝ 5V ⎠ Use standard value of 1.5µH Sumida Inductor Series CDRH6D38.

For a low ESR ceramic capacitor, a minimum value of 200µF is required. For a low ESR tantalum capacitor, lower values are acceptable. While the relatively higher ESR associated with the tantalum capacitor will give more phase margin and a more dampened transient response, the output voltage ripple will be higher. Output Current (A) Figure 4: 5V Input, 3.3V Output. 1154.2006.09.1.6 13 1MHz 3A Step-Down DC/DC Converter The 120µF Vishay 594D tantalum capacitor has an ESR of 85mΩ and a ripple current rating of 1.48Arms in a C case size. Although smaller case sizes are sufficiently rated for this ripple current, their ESR level would result in excessive output ripple. The ESR requirement for a tantalum capacitor can be estimated by: In the examples shown, C1 is a ceramic capacitor located as closely to the IC as possible. C1 provides the low impedance path for the sharp edges associated with the input current. C4 may or may not be required, depending upon the impedance characteristics looking back into the source. It serves to dampen out any input oscillations that may arise from a source that is highly inductive. For most applications, where the source has sufficient bulk capacitance and is fed directly to the AAT1154 through large PCB traces or planes, it is not required. When operating the AAT1154 evaluation board on the bench, C4 is required due to the inductance of the wires running from the laboratory power supply to the evaluation board.

Resistors R3 and R4 of Figure 5 force the output to regulate higher than 1V. For accurate results (less than 1% error for all outputs), select R4 to be 10kΩ. Once R4 has been selected, R3 can be calculated. For a 1.25V output with R4 set to 10kΩ, R3 is 2.5kΩ. R3 = (VO - 1) · R4 = 0.25 · 10kΩ = 2.5kΩ Figures 6 and 7 display the suggested PCB layout for the adjustable output AAT1154. Two or three 1812 X5R 100uF 6.3V ceramic capacitors in parallel also provide sufficient phase margin. The low ESR and ESL associated with ceramic capacitors also reduces output ripple significantly over that seen with tantalum capacitors. Temperature rise due to ESR ripple current dissipation is also reduced.
