Dual Channel, Step-Down Converter/Linear Regulator General Description
The AAT2505 is a member of AnalogicTech's Total Power Management IC™ (TPMIC™) product family. It is a low dropout (LDO) linear regulator and a step-down converter with an input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V, making it ideal for applications with single cell lithium-ion / polymer batteries. The LDO has an independent input pin and is capable of delivering up to 300mA of current. The linear regulator has been designed for high-speed turn-on and turn-off performance, fast transient response, and good power supply rejection ratio (PSRR). Other features include low quiescent current, low dropout voltage, and a Power-OK (POK) open drain output signaling when VOUT is in regulation. The 600mA step-down converter is designed to operate with 1.4MHz of switching frequency, minimizing external component size and cost while maintaining a low 27µA no load quiescent current. Peak current mode control with internal compensation provides a stable converter with a low equivalent series resistance (ESR) ceramic output capacitor for extremely low output ripple. For maximum battery life with high voltage outputs, the step-down converter duty cycle increases to 100%. The output voltage is either fixed or adjustable with an integrated P- and N-channel MOSFET power stage and 1.4MHz switching frequency. The AAT2505 is available in a Pb-free, 12-pin TDFN33 package and is rated over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Functional Description
The AAT2505 is a high performance power management IC comprised of a buck converter and a linear regulator. The high efficiency buck converter is capable of delivering up to 600mA. Designed to operate at 1.4MHz, the converter requires only three external components (CIN, COUT, and LX) and is stable with a ceramic output capacitor. The linear regulator delivers 300mA and also is stable with a ceramic output capacitor.
cuit which accelerates the power-up behavior of fundamental control and feedback circuits within the LDO regulator. Fast turn-off time response is achieved by an active output pull-down circuit, which is enabled when the LDO regulator is placed in shutdown mode. This active fast shutdown circuit has no adverse effect on normal device operation. The LDO regulator output has been specifically optimized to function with low-cost, low-ESR ceramic capacitors; however, the design will allow for operation over a wide range of capacitor types. Other features include an integrated Power-OK comparator which indicates when the output is out of regulation. The POK open-drain output is low when OUT is 6% below its nominal regulation voltage. The open-drain signal is held low when the linear regulator is in shutdown mode. The regulator comes with complete short-circuit and thermal protection. The combination of these two internal protection circuits gives a comprehensive safety system to guard against extreme adverse operating conditions.
Linear Regulator
The advanced circuit design of the linear regulator has been specifically optimized for very fast start-up and shutdown timing. This proprietary CMOS LDO has also been tailored for superior transient response characteristics. These traits are particularly important for applications that require fast power supply timing. The high-speed turn-on capability is enabled through implementation of a fast-start control cir12
2505.2006.06.1.1
Dual Channel, Step-Down Converter/Linear Regulator
The regulator features an enable/disable function. This pin (ENLDO) is active high and is compatible with CMOS logic. To assure the LDO regulator will switch on, the ENLDO turn-on control level must be greater than 1.5V. The LDO regulator will go into the disable shutdown mode when the voltage on the EN pin falls below 0.6V. If the enable function is not needed in a specific application, it may be tied to VIN to keep the LDO regulator in a continuously on state. When the regulator is in shutdown mode, an internal 20kΩ resistor is connected between OUT and GND. This is intended to discharge COUT when the LDO regulator is disabled. The internal 20kΩ resistor has no adverse impact on device turn-on time. either the input power or the enable input is applied. When pulled low, the enable input forces the converter into a low-power, non-switching state with a bias current of less than 1µA. A startup time of 150µs is achieved across the operating range.
AAT2505
Low Dropout Operation
For conditions where the input voltage drops to the output voltage level, the converter duty cycle increases to 100%. As 100% duty cycle is approached, the minimum off-time initially forces the high side on-time to exceed the 1.4MHz clock cycle and reduce the effective switching frequency. Once the input drops below the level where the output can be regulated, the high side P-channel MOSFET is turned on continuously for 100% duty cycle. At 100% duty cycle, the output voltage tracks the input voltage minus the IR drop of the high side P-channel MOSFET RDS(ON).
Step-Down Converter
The AAT2505 buck is a constant frequency peak current mode PWM converter with internal compensation. It is designed to operate with an input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V. The output voltage ranges from 0.6V to the input voltage for the internally fixed version (see Figure 1) , and up to 3.3V for the externally adjustable version (see Figure 2). The 0.6V fixed model is also the adjustable version and is externally programmable with a resistive divider. The converter MOSFET power stage is sized for 600mA load capability with up to 96% efficiency. Light load efficiency exceeds 80% at a 500µA load.
Low Supply
The under-voltage lockout (UVLO) guarantees sufficient VIN bias and proper operation of all internal circuitry prior to activation.
Fault Protection
For overload conditions, the peak inductor current is limited. Thermal protection disables switching when the internal dissipation or ambient temperature becomes excessive. The junction over-temperature threshold is 140°C with 15°C of hysteresis.
Soft Start
The AAT2505 soft-start control prevents output voltage overshoot and limits inrush current when

Dual Channel, Step-Down Converter/Linear Regulator Applications Information
Linear Regulator
Input and Output Capacitors: An input capacitor is not required for basic operation of the linear regulator. However, if the AAT2505 is physically located more than three centimeters from an input power source, a CIN capacitor will be needed for stable operation. Typically, a 1µF or larger capacitor is recommended for CIN in most applications. CIN should be located as closely to the device VIN pin as practically possible. An input capacitor greater than 1µF will offer superior input line transient response and maximize power supply ripple rejection. Ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic capacitors may be selected for CIN. There is no specific capacitor ESR requirement for CIN. However, for 300mA LDO regulator output operation, ceramic capacitors are recommended for CIN due to their inherent capability over tantalum capacitors to withstand input current surges from low impedance sources such as batteries in portable devices. For proper load voltage regulation and operational stability, a capacitor is required between OUT and GND. The COUT capacitor connection to the LDO regulator ground pin should be made as directly as practically possible for maximum device performance. Since the regulator has been designed to function with very low ESR capacitors, ceramic capacitors in the 1.0µF to 10µF range are recommended for best performance. Applications utilizing the exceptionally low output noise and optimum power supply ripple rejection should use 2.2µF or greater for COUT. In low output current applications, where output load is less than 10mA, the minimum value for COUT can be as low as 0.47µF. Equivalent Series Resistance: ESR is a very important characteristic to consider when selecting a capacitor. ESR is the internal series resistance associated with a capacitor that includes lead resistance, internal connections, size and area, material composition, and ambient temperature. Typically, capacitor ESR is measured in milliohms for ceramic capacitors and can range to more than several ohms for tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Ceramic Capacitor Materials: Ceramic capacitors less than 0.1µF are typically made from NPO or C0G materials. NPO and C0G materials generally have tight tolerance and are very stable over temperature. Larger capacitor values are usually composed of X7R, X5R, Z5U, or Y5V dielectric materials. Large ceramic capacitors (i.e., greater than 2.2µF) are often available in low-cost Y5V and Z5U dielectrics. These two material types are not recommended for use with the regulator, since the capacitor tolerance can vary more than ±50% over the operating temperature range of the device. A 2.2µF Y5V capacitor could be reduced to 1µF over temperature; this could cause problems for circuit operation. X7R and X5R dielectrics are much more desirable. The temperature tolerance of X7R dielectric is better than ±15%. Capacitor area is another contributor to ESR. Capacitors that are physically large in size will have a lower ESR when compared to a smaller sized capacitor of an equivalent material and capacitance value. These larger devices can improve circuit transient response when compared to an equal value capacitor in a smaller package size. Consult capacitor vendor datasheets carefully when selecting capacitors for LDO regulators.
AAT2505
Step-Down Converter
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 AAT2505 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.

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.
AAT2505
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.

⎛ VPP ⎞ - ESR · FS ⎝ IOBUCK ⎠
In this case, a standard 6.8µH value is selected. For high-voltage fixed versions (2.5V and above), m = 0.48A/µsec. Table 1 displays inductor values for the AAT2505 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. The 4.7µH CDRH3D16 series inductor selected from Sumida has a 105mΩ DCR and a 900mA DC current rating. At full load, the inductor DC loss is 17mW which gives a 2.8% loss in efficiency for a 400mA, 1.5V output.

Always examine the ceramic capacitor DC voltage coefficient characteristics when selecting the proper value. For example, the capacitance of a 10µF, 6.3V, X5R ceramic capacitor with 5.0V DC applied is actually about 6µF. The maximum input capacitor RMS current is:

The input capacitor RMS ripple current varies with the input and output voltage and will always be less than or equal to half of the total DC load current. 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.

The input capacitor provides a low impedance loop for the edges of pulsed current drawn by the AAT2505. 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 3.
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 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:
3 · ΔILOAD VDROOP · FS
AAT2505
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 221kΩ for reduced no load input current.

COUT =
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 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 · (VIN(MAX) - VOUT) L · FS · VIN(MAX) 2· 3 · 1
The adjustable version of the AAT2505, combined with an external feedforward capacitor (C8 in Figures 2 and 5), delivers enhanced transient response for extreme pulsed load applications. The addition of the feedforward capacitor typically requires a larger output capacitor C1 for stability.

Thermal Calculations
There are three types of losses associated with the AAT2505 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 step-down converter and LDO losses is given by:
IOBUCK2 · (RDSON(H) · VOBUCK + RDSON(L) · [VIN - VOBUCK]) VIN
IQBUCK is the step-down converter quiescent current and IQLDO is the LDO quiescent current. The term tsw is used to estimate the full load step-down converter switching losses. For the condition where the buck converter is in dropout at 100% duty cycle, the total device dissipation reduces to:
PTOTAL = IOBUCK2 · RDSON(H) + IOLDO · (VIN - VOLDO) + (IQBUCK + IQLDO) · VIN
PTOTAL =
+ (tsw · FS · IOBUCK + IQBUCK + IQLDO) · VIN + IOLDO · (VIN - VOLDO)
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 TDFN33-12 package which is 50°C/W.
TJ(MAX) = PTOTAL · ΘJA + TAMB
AAT2505
PCB Layout
The following guidelines should be used to ensure a proper layout. 1. The input capacitor C2 should connect as closely as possible to VP and PGND, as shown in Figure 4. 2. The output capacitor and inductor should be connected as closely as possible. The connection of the inductor to the LX pin should also be as short as possible.
3. The feedback trace 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 FB pin. This prevents noise from being coupled into the high impedance feedback node. 4. 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. 5. For good thermal coupling, PCB vias are required from the pad for the TDFN paddle to the ground plane. The via diameter should be 0.3mm to 0.33mm and positioned on a 1.2mm grid.
