AOZ1031AI
Comparing with regulators using freewheeling Schottky
diodes, the AOZ1031A uses freewheeling NMOSFET to
realize synchronous rectification. It greatly improves the
converter efficiency and reduces power loss in the
low-side switch.
Detailed Description
The AOZ1031A is a current-mode step down regulator
with integrated high-side PMOS switch and a low-side
NMOS switch. It operates from a 4.5V to 18V input voltage range and supplies up to 3A of load current. The
duty cycle can be adjusted from 6% to 100% allowing a
wide range of output voltage. Features include enable
control, Power-On Reset, input under voltage lockout,
output over voltage protection, active high power good
state, fixed internal soft-start and thermal shut down.
The AOZ1031A will enter the discontinuous conduction
mode at light load. Several pulses may be skipped in
between switching cycles at very light load, it further
improving light load efficiency.
s
The AOZ1031A uses a P-Channel MOSFET as the
high-side switch. It saves the bootstrap capacitor normally seen in a circuit which is using an NMOS switch. It
allows 100% turn-on of the high-side switch to achieve
linear regulation mode of operation. The minimum voltage drop from VIN to VO is the load current times DC
resistance of MOSFET plus DC resistance of buck inductor. It can be calculated by equation below:
ig
n
The AOZ1031A is available in SO-8 package.
Enable and Soft Start
D
es
The AOZ1031A has internal soft start feature to limit
in-rush current and ensure the output voltage ramps up
smoothly to regulation voltage. A soft start process
begins when the input voltage rises to 4.1V and voltage
on EN pin is HIGH. In soft start process, the output voltage is ramped to regulation voltage in typically 2.2ms.
The 2.2ms soft start time is set internally.

The EN pin of the AOZ1031A is active high. Connect the
EN pin to VIN if enable function is not used. Pull it to

The voltage on EN pin must be above 2V to enable the
AOZ1031A. When voltage on EN pin falls below 0.6V, the
AOZ1031A is disabled. If an application circuit requires
the AOZ1031A to be disabled, an open drain or open collector circuit should be used to interface to EN pin.

The AOZ1031A integrates an internal P-MOSFET as the
high-side switch. Inductor current is sensed by amplifying
the voltage drop across the drain to source of the high
side power MOSFET. Output voltage is divided down by
the external voltage divider at the FB pin. The difference
of the FB pin voltage and reference is amplified by the
internal transconductance error amplifier. The error voltage, which shows on the COMP pin, is compared against
the current signal, which is sum of inductor current signal
and ramp compensation signal, at PWM comparator
input. If the current signal is less than the error voltage,
the internal high-side switch is on. The inductor current
flows from the input through the inductor to the output.
When the current signal exceeds the error voltage, the
high-side switch is off. The inductor current is freewheeling through the internal low-side N-MOSFET switch to
output. The internal adaptive FET driver guarantees no
turn on overlap of both high-side and
low-side switch.

Switching Frequency
The AOZ1031A switching frequency is fixed and set by
an internal oscillator. The practical switching frequency
could range from 500kHz to 700kHz due to device variation.
Output Voltage Programming
Output voltage can be set by feeding back the output to
the FB pin by using a resistor divider network. In the
application circuit shown in Figure 1. The resistor divider
network includes R1 and R2. Usually, a design is started
by picking a fixed R2 value and calculating the required
R1 with equation below.

The sensed inductor current signal is also used for over
current protection. Since the AOZ1031A employs peak
current mode control, the COMP pin voltage is proportional to the peak inductor current. The COMP pin voltage is limited to be between 0.4V and 2.5V internally.
The peak inductor current is automatically limited cycle
by cycle.
The input capacitor must be connected to the VIN pin and
PGND pin of AOZ1031A to maintain steady input voltage
and filter out the pulsing input current. The voltage rating
of input capacitor must be greater than maximum input
voltage plus ripple voltage.

Protection Features
Over Current Protection (OCP)
ot
R
ec
When the output is shorted to ground under fault conditions, the inductor current decays very slow during a
switching cycle because of Vo=0V. To prevent catastrophic failure, AOZ1031A detects the duration the overcurrent condition occurs. If the over-current condition
occurs for certain period, AOZ1013A totally turns off for a
period of time, then restarts. If the fault is still there, then
the chip will be off again. The converter will initiate a soft
start once the over-current condition disappears.
N
D
The basic AOZ1031A application circuit is show in
Figure 1. Component selection is explained below.
Since the switch duty cycle can be as high as 100%, the
maximum output voltage can be set as high as the input
voltage minus the voltage drop on upper PMOS and
inductor.
The AOZ1031A has multiple protection features to prevent system circuit damage under abnormal conditions.

The combination of R1 and R2 should be large enough to
avoid drawing excessive current from the output, which

An internal temperature sensor monitors the junction
temperature. It shuts down the internal control circuit and
high side PMOS if the junction temperature exceeds
150°C. The regulator will restart automatically under the
control of soft-start circuit when the junction temperature
decreases to 100°C.

The output capacitor is selected based on the DC output
voltage rating, output ripple voltage specification and ripple current rating.
Figure 2. ICIN vs. Voltage Conversion Ratio
Output ripple voltage specification is another important
factor for selecting the output capacitor. In a buck converter circuit, output ripple voltage is determined by
inductor value, switching frequency, output capacitor
value and ESR. It can be calculated by the equation
below:
Fo
r
For reliable operation and best performance, the input
capacitors must have current rating higher than ICIN_RMS
at worst operating conditions. Ceramic capacitors are
preferred for input capacitors because of their low ESR
and high current rating. Depending on the application circuits, other low ESR tantalum capacitor may also be
used. When selecting ceramic capacitors, X5R or X7R
type dielectric ceramic capacitors should be used for
their better temperature and voltage characteristics. Note
that the ripple current rating from capacitor manufactures
are based on certain amount of life time. Further
de-rating may be necessary in practical design.
The selected output capacitor must have a higher rated
voltage specification than the maximum desired output
voltage including ripple. De-rating needs to be considered for long term reliability.

The inductor is used to supply constant current to output
when it is driven by a switching voltage. For given input
and output voltage, inductance and switching frequency
together decide the inductor ripple current, which is:
CO is output capacitor value, and
ESRCO is the Equivalent Series Resistor of output capacitor.
When low ESR ceramic capacitor is used as output
capacitor, the impedance of the capacitor at the switching
frequency dominates. Output ripple is mainly caused by
capacitor value and inductor ripple current. The output
ripple voltage calculation can be simplified to:

N
High inductance gives low inductor ripple current but
requires larger size inductor to avoid saturation. Low ripple current reduces inductor core losses. It also reduces
RMS current through inductor and switches, which
results in less conduction loss. Usually, peak to peak ripple current on inductor is designed to be 20%
to 30% of output current.
When selecting the inductor, make sure it is able to handle the peak current without saturation even at the highest operating temperature.
Rev. 1.6 March 2010

If the impedance of ESR at switching frequency dominates, the output ripple voltage is mainly decided by
capacitor ESR and inductor ripple current. The output ripple voltage calculation can be further simplified to:
ΔV O = ΔI L × ESR CO
For lower output ripple voltage across the entire operating temperature range, X5R or X7R dielectric type of
ceramic, or other low ESR tantalum are recommended to
be used as output capacitors.

calculated by:
N
The AOZ1031A employs peak current mode control for
easy use and fast transient response. Peak current mode
control eliminates the double pole effect of the output
L&C filter. It greatly simplifies the compensation loop
design.
To design the compensation circuit, a target crossover
frequency fC for close loop must be selected. The system
crossover frequency is where control loop has unity gain.
The crossover is the also called the converter bandwidth.
Generally a higher bandwidth means faster response to
load transient. However, the bandwidth should not be too
high because of system stability concern. When designing the compensation loop, converter stability under all
line and load condition must be considered.

Usually, the ripple current rating of the output capacitor is

to the filter inductor, to the output capacitor and load, and
then return to the input capacitor through ground. Current
flows in the first loop when the high side switch is on. The
second loop starts from inductor, to the output capacitors
and load, to the low side NMOSFET. Current flows in the
second loop when the low side NMOSFET is on.
The AOZ1031A is standard SO-8 package. Several layout tips are listed below for the best electric and thermal
performance. Figure 3 on the next page illustrates a PCB
layout example of AOZ1031A.

An easy-to-use application software which helps to
design and simulate the compensation loop can be found
at www.aosmd.com.
The thermal performance of the AOZ1031A is strongly
affected by the PCB layout. Extra care should be taken
by users during design process to ensure that the IC will
operate under the recommended environmental conditions.

4. A ground plane is preferred. If a ground plane is not
used, separate PGND from AGND and connect them
only at one point to avoid the PGND pin noise coupling to the AGND pin.

In the AOZ1031A buck regulator circuit, the major power
dissipating components are the AOZ1031A and the output inductor. The total power dissipation of converter circuit can be measured by input power minus output
power.
3. Input capacitor should be connected to the VIN pin
and the PGND pin as close as possible.
5. Make the current trace from LX pins to L to Co to the
PGND as short as possible.
6. Pour copper plane on all unused board area and
connect it to stable DC nodes, like VIN, GND or
VOUT.
P inductor_loss = IO2 × R inductor × 1.1
7. Keep sensitive signal trace far away form the LX
pins.

The power dissipation of inductor can be approximately
calculated by output current and DCR of inductor.

The actual junction temperature can be calculated with
power dissipation in the AOZ1031A and thermal impedance from junction to ambient.
N
T junction = ( P total_loss – P inductor_loss ) × Θ JA
The maximum junction temperature of AOZ1031A is
150°C, which limits the maximum load current capability.
