Q1 and Q2 along with R3 and R4 form a band gap reference. The input to this circuit completes a feedback path from the high voltage output through a voltage divider, and is used as the regulation control input. When the voltage at the FB pin is slightly above 1.22V, comparator X1 disables most of the internal circuitry. Current is then provided by capacitor C2, which slowly discharges until the voltage at the FB pin drops below the lower hysteresis point of X1, about 6mV. X1 then enables the internal circuitry, turns on chip power, and the current in the inductor begins to ramp up. When the current through the driver transistor reaches about 150mA, comparator X2 clears the latch, which turns off the driver transistor for a preset 0.3µs. At the instant of shutoff, inductor current is diverted to the output through diode D1. During this 0.3µs time limit, inductor current decreases while its energy charges C2. Mar28-08 At the end of the 0.3µs time period, the driver transistor is again allowed to turn on which ramps the current back up to the 150mA level. Comparator X2 clears the latch, its output turns off the driver transistor, and this allows delivery of inductor L1’s stored kinetic energy to C2. This switching action continues until the output capacitor voltage is charged to the point where FB is at band gap (1.22V). When this condition is reached, X1 turns off the internal circuitry and the cycle repeats. The SP4446 contains circuitry to provide protection during startup and while in short-circuit conditions. When FB pin voltage is less than approximately 300mV, the switch off time is increased to about 1.2µs and the current limit is reduced to about 70% of its normal value. While in this mode, the average inductor current is reduced and helps minimize power dissipation in the SP4446, the external inductor and diode.

However, there is typically a propagation delay of 200nS between the time when the current limit is reached and when the switch is actually turned off. During this 200nS delay, the peak inductor current will increase, exceeding the current limit by a small amount. The peak inductor current can be estimated by: V IPK = ILIM + IN(MAX) • 200nS L The larger the input voltage and the lower the inductor value, the greater the peak current. In selecting an inductor, the saturation current specified for the inductor needs to be greater than the SP4446 peak current to avoid saturating the inductor, which would result in a loss of efficiency and could damage the inductor. Choosing an inductor with low DCR decreases power losses and increase efficiency. Refer to Table 1 for some suggested low ESR inductors. MANUF. PART NUMBER DCR (Ω) 0.44 0.71 Current Rating (mA) 300 250 inherently low ESR, which will help produce low peak to peak output ripple, and reduce high frequency spikes. For the typical application, a 4.7µF input capacitor and a 2.2µF output capacitor are sufficient. The input and output ripple could be further reduced by increasing the value of the input and output capacitors. Place all the capacitors as close to the SP4446 as possible for layout. For use as a voltage source, to reduce the output ripple, a small feedforward capacitor (47pF) across the top feedback resistor can be used to provide sufficient overdrive for the error comparator, thus reduce the output ripple. Refer to Table 2 for some suggested low ESR capacitors. MANUF.

VIN D1 Table 1. Suggested Low ESR inductors L1 Diode Selection VOUT A schottky diode with a low forward drop and fast switching speed is ideally used here to achieve high efficiency. In selecting a Schottky diode, the current rating of the schottky diode should be larger than the peak inductor current. Moreover, the reverse breakdown voltage of the Schottky diode should be larger than the output voltage.

Divider Resistor Selection SHDN_N SP4446 SHDN GND FB 1.22V R2 64.9K Layout Considerations 2 Both the input capacitor and the output capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the IC. This can reduce the copper trace resistance which directly effects the input and output ripple. The feedback resistor network should be kept close to the FB pin to minimize copper trace connections that can inject noise into the system. The ground connection for the feedback resistor network should connect directly to the GND pin or to an analog ground plane that is tied directly to the GND pin. The inductor and the Schottky diode should be placed as close as possible to the switch pin to minimize the noise coupling to the other circuits, especially the feedback network. PIN Diode Driver Fig. 3. Load Disconnect in Shutdown When the SP4446 is active, the voltage set at the emitter of the transistor exceeds the input voltage, forcing the transistor into the saturation region. When the SP4446 is shut down, the input voltage exceeds the emitter voltage, thus the transistor becomes inactive and provides highimpedance isolation between the input and load. Efficiency will be slightly sacrificed because of the saturation voltage and base current of the PNP transistor. The SP4446 can be used as PIN diode driver as shown in Figure. 2.
