Applications Information
Main Control Loop
The AAT1155 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 1.0V. 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 AAT1155 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.
peak ripple current is 1A. Assuming a 5V ±5% input voltage and 40% ripple, the output inductance required is:
VOUT ⎞ VOUT ⎛ L= I · k · FS · ⎝1 - VIN(MAX) ⎠ OUT = 3.3V ⎞ ⎛ ⎞ ⎛ · 1 - 3.3V ⎝ 2.5A · 0.4 · 1MHz ⎠ ⎝ 5.25V⎠
= 1.23μH
The factor "k" is the fraction of the full load (40%) selected for the ripple current at the maximum input voltage. The corresponding inductor RMS current is:
IRMS = ⎛ 2 ΔI 2 ⎞ I+ ≈ I O = 2.5A ⎝O 12 ⎠
Inductor
The output inductor is selected to limit the ripple current to 20% to 40% of the 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 the converter performance. Some inductors may have sufficient peak and average current ratings yet result in excessive losses due to a high DCR. The losses associated with the DCR and its effect on the total converter efficiency must be considered. For a 2.5A load and the ripple current set to 40% at the maximum input voltage, the maximum peak-to10
ΔI is the peak-to-peak ripple current which is fixed by the inductor selection above. For a peak-topeak current of 40% of the full load current, the peak current at full load will be 120% 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 70mW for a 0.84% loss in efficiency.

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 AAT1155. 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 AAT1155. 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 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 ⎠
For VIN at 5V and VOUT at 3.3V, the average diode current is:
V 3.3V ⎞ = 0.85A IAVG = IO · ⎛1 - O ⎞ = 2.5A · ⎛1 ⎝ VIN ⎠ ⎝ 5.0V ⎠
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
θJA · VF
For overload, short-circuit, and excessive ambient temperature conditions, the AAT1155 enters overtemperature shutdown mode protecting the AAT1155 as well as 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.

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. 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.
AAT1155
Layout
Figures 3 and 4 display the suggested PCB layout for the AAT1155. 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 AAT1155 control circuitry.
Output Capacitor
With no external compensation components, the output capacitor has a strong effect on the 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 = (V = VF) · (VIN - VOUT) 1 · OUT L · FS · VIN 2· 3
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:

Thermal
Losses associated with the AAT1155 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:

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 :
0.42 Watts
TJ(MAX) = TAMB + θJA · P = 70°C + 150°C/W · 0.42W = 133°C

Given an ambient thermal resistance of 120°C/W from the manufacturer's datasheet, TJ(MAX) of the diode is:
Two or three 1812 X5R 100µF 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.
Input Capacitor
The input capacitor ripple is:

Output Capacitor
The output capacitor value required for sufficient loop phase margin depends on the type of capacitor selected. 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.
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 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 AAT1155 through large PCB traces or planes, it is not required. When operating the AAT1155 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.

Adjustable Output
For applications requiring an output other than the fixed outputs available, the 1V version can be programmed externally. Resistors R3 and R4 of Figure 1 force the output to regulate higher than 1 volt. 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 1.25 volt output with R4 set to 10kΩ, R3 is 2.5kΩ. R3 = (VO - 1) · R4 = 0.25 · 10kΩ = 2.5kΩ
