Operation description of each block (1) Reference voltage circuit The reference voltage circuit generates the feed back voltage reference (VIN) of 1.00V±1% which compensated in temperature from VCC voltage, and the regulated voltage (CREG) of 3.0V The feedback voltage (VIN) is connected to the non-inverting input of error amplifier (OTA) as a reference voltage of the error amplifier. The regulated voltage (CREG) is provided as a regulated power supply for IC’s internal blocks, and it has to connect capacitors in order to stabilize voltages. The CREG voltage is designed specifically for the power supply for IC’s internal blocks. Therefore it cannot be used as external stabilized power supplies. To determine capacitance of CREG pin, refer to recommended operating conditions. (2) Oscillator The oscillator generates a triangular waveform by charging and discharging the capacitor. Oscillation frequency can be set by the value of resistor connected to the RT pin 8 7 6 5 (Fig.1) (Operating frequency decreases when RT increases, Operating 1 2 3 4 frequency increases when RT decreases) R Set the oscillation frequency between 30 kHz and 400 kHz. The RT pin outputs DC voltage of 1 V. Fig.1 VCC OUT VBIAS IN CREG ENB RT GND (4) PWM comparator The ON state of output (at the OUT pin) starts with the ON trigger signal of the oscillator. It turns off when the inductor current reaches to the specified level by the error amplifier (OTA) output. (5) Soft start circuit In order to prevent the abnormal start up of DC-DC converter such as rush current, the soft start circuit is built-in. The soft start is performed by raising the feedback reference voltage of the error amplifier (OTA) step by step. Therefore the output voltage of DC-DC converter rises slowly. The soft start time is fixed to 8msec (typ.) internally. The soft start stars after the input voltage reaches the ON threshold (6.9V typ.) or more of under voltage lock out (UVLO). (Fig. 3). In power supplied condition, the soft start is controlled by the ENB signal. Start up by the power supply with the low level ENB signal T Startup by the ENB signal VCC ENB terminal low ENB Vout (3) Error amplifier (OTA) The IN pin (5 pin) is the inverting input of the error amplifier (OTA). The non-inverting input is internally connected to the feedback reference voltage (VIN) with 1.0 V ± 1%. The output of OTA has no external pin and the phase compensations are built-in. The feedback voltage of the DC-DC converter’s output is connected to the IN pin by the divider resister. The output voltage Vout of the DC-DC converter can be calculated as follows; Fig. 3 8msec typ. Vout = R1 + R 2 × VIN R2 8 VCC C1 Vout R1 If it operates without stability, connect the capacitor C1 in order to adjust the phase compensation. 7 OUT 6 VBIAS 5 IN R2 CREG ENB RT GND 1 2 3 4 Fig.2 (6) Timer and latch for short circuit protection When the output voltage of the DC-DC converter drops continues in constant time, the timer and latch short circuit protection stops switching operation in order to protect the DC-DC converter. If the output voltage of DC-DC converter drops due to output short-circuit or over load, the output voltage feedback IN pin of the error amplifier will also decreases. When the IN pin voltage drops down to 0.75V (typ.), the timer latch starts its counter. If the drops continues and the counter operates beyond delay time (90msec typ.), the protection circuit regards the case as abnormal. Therefore it stops switching, and protect the circuit (Fig. 4). Fuji Electric Systems Co., Ltd. AN-059E Rev.1.0 June.2010 12 http://www.fujielectric.co.jp/fdt/scd/ FA7764 The delay time of the timer and latch is fixed internally and cannot be configured from outside. (9) ON/OFF controller This IC can be on/off controlled by the input of external signals to the ENB pin. To turn the output on, set the ENB pin voltage less than 1.0V. Then the output voltage gradually increases by the soft start (Fig. 3). The output can be turned off by either opening the ENB pin or input an external voltage of at least 2V. When the ENB pin is open, the ENB pin voltage will clamps to the self-limited voltage near 5V. In this case, the IC keeps standby mode where the regulated voltage CREG (3.0V typ.) is shut down, and also the current consumption of the IC is controlled less than 100 μA(typ.). (10) Under voltage lockout circuit (UVLO) This IC has a UVLO function to prevent circuit malfunction in case of a lower input power supply. When increasing the power supply voltage Vcc from 0V, the IC will be start operation over 6.9V (typ). When decreasing the power supply voltage Vcc from operation state, the IC will be shut down under 5.9V (typ). (11) Output circuit The output circuit consists of P-channel MOSFET, with ON resistance of 0.8 Ω (typically). (12)Opened rectifier diode protection Generally when a rectifier diode in the buck converter is removed by some kind of abnormality states, large voltage occurs on switching MOSFET by the energy of the inductor and it has a possibility of destruction the MOSFET with emitting smoke and ignition. Therefore, the IC will shut down the operation when the OUT pin voltage falls under -9V with synchronized switching. Fig. 4 In order to resetting from latch stoppage, resetting by using the ENB pin or setting the input voltage down to the UVLO threshold voltage are required. (7) Overcurrent limitation circuit This IC has a pulse-by-pulse overcurrent limitation function that detects and limits each peak current of the built-in MOSFET. The current of the built-in MOSFET is transferred to the voltage signal at current detect circuit, and the voltage signal is input into the overcurrent limitation comparator. If the current transferred voltage signal is higher than the reference voltage, the built-in MOSFET is turned off and the current is limited. The current limitation will be reset in the next switching period, and it will be repeated in each period along with overcurrent limitation. Furthermore, when the pulse-by-pulse overcurrent limitation continues for five times, the IC latch stops the switching in order to avoid inductor saturation and the destruction of the MOSFET. If the output voltage of the DC-DC converter drops to a level lower than 75% (typ) due to line impedance or some other factor, the IC will be shut down by the same way as timer latch short-circuit protection described in (6). (8) Thermal shut down circuit The IC has an thermal shut down function that stops switching operation when the IC overheats due to overcurrent or other error. The IC stops switching when the chip temperature is heated up to 135 degrees (typ.), and the IC resumes switching when the chip temperature is cooled down to 115 degrees. The latching function does not work when thermal shut down is operated. Fuji Electric Systems Co., Ltd. AN-059E Rev.1.0 June.2010 13 http://www.fujielectric.co.jp/fdt/scd/ FA7764 (13) VBIAS circuit This IC provides the VBIAS pin to increase the efficiency of the power supply circuit and reduce the IC power loss. The internal regulated power supply CREG is usually generated by the VCC voltage. If CREG is generated from the output voltage of the DC-DC converter by the VBIAS pin, it is able to reduce the power loss at CREG regulator and lower power consumption operation (Fig. 5). Fig. 5 When the VBIAS pin is not used, the operating current consumption of the VCC terminal is 0.75 mA (typ), on the other hand, when the VBIAS pin is used, the comparable consumption is 0.4 mA(typ). This operation switchover is performed at the VBIAS pin voltage (i.e., output voltage of the DC-DC converter) of 3.1V. Therefore, the VBIAS operation will be effective only at the input voltage more than 3.1V. Furthermore, a 5.5 V Zener diode for protection is connected to the VBIAS pin. Therefore, if more than 5.5V voltage is applied to the VBIAS pin, a leak current will be occurred in the Zener diode and also increases the power loss. Therefore, apply the voltage from 3.1V to 5.5V to the VBIAS pin when you use the VBIAS pin function. Connect a ceramic capacitor close to the VBIAS pin as shown in Fig. 5 to eliminate noise. The recommended value of the capacitance is about 0.1 μF. If you do not use the VBIAS pin and in case of set the DC-DC converter output voltage to less than 3.1V or more than 5.5V, connect the VBIAS pin to the GND (Fig. 6). Fig. 6 Fuji Electric Systems Co., Ltd. AN-059E Rev.1.0 June.2010 14 http://www.fujielectric.co.jp/fdt/scd/ FA7764 9. Design tips (1) Setting an oscillation frequency The oscillation frequency can be adjusted by changing the value of the resistor connected to the RT pin as described under item (2) in "Operation description of each block." you can set any oscillation frequency between 30 kHz and 400 kHz. The oscillation frequency can be determined by the characteristic curve of "Timing resister vs. Oscillation frequency" or the RT value can be approximately calculated as follows: (3) Restriction of external discrete components and recommended operating conditions To achieve a stable operation of the IC, the value of external discrete components and the voltage and the current applied to each pin should be within the recommended operating conditions. This IC incorporates a P-channel MOSFET between the OUT pin and the VCC pin. Since the P-channel MOSFET has a parasitic diode, so if the voltage of OUT pin becomes higher than the VCC pin voltage, the current flows from the OUT pin to the VCC pin. (4) Preventing the application of negative voltage If rather large negative voltage is applied to any pins of this IC, internal parasitic elements start operating, and they may cause malfunctions. Therefore the negative voltage which is applied to each terminal of the ICs must be kept above -0.3V. (5) Improving the transient response characteristic The transient response characteristic of a DC-DC converter generally shows the overshoot in the output voltage when the power supply voltage is started, and the overshoot/undershoot in the output voltage when the load current changes abruptly (Fig. 7). This IC has few overshoot at startup due to the soft start function. However, the overshoot/undershoot may occur when the load changes abruptly, depending on the conditions. This overshoot/undershoot can be reduced by connecting a capacitor to the output voltage detection resistor as shown in Fig. 2. No universal constant can be proposed because it varies with the conditions. However, we believe that an appropriate effect can be produced when the constant is between hundreds of pico-Farads and tens of nano-Farads. fosc = 3738 × RT −0.95 Where, fosc: Oscillation frequency [kHz] RT: Timing resistance [kΩ] This expression, however, can be used as rough calculation, the obtained value is not guaranteed. The operation frequency varies due to the conditions such as tolerance of the characteristics of the ICs, influence of noises, or external discrete components. When determining the values, examine the effectiveness of the values in an actual circuit. The timing resistor RT should be connected to the GND pin as shortly as possible because the RT pin is high impedance pin and is easy affected by noises. (2) IC losses This IC incorporates a switching MOSFET. The loss generated in this MOSFET accounts for most of the IC loss, and the loss is determined by the input/output conditions of the DC-DC converter. Attention is needed to the permissible loss of the IC (SOP-8 E-Pad: 3.9 W at 25°C). The permissible loss in SOP-8 (E-Pad) specified in this document is under the condition of mounting a 4-layer board (50 mm x 40 mm) at Ta of 25°C when the exposed pad is connected by solder. Therefore the permissible loss will be smaller than the specified loss by using any other board (such as 2-layer board) or the exposed pad is unconnected. The recommended maximum load current for the DC-DC converter consisting of this IC is about 1.5A. This load current depend on the input voltage and operating ambient temperature.

Fig. 8 shows a recommended foot pattern. 3×1.27=3.81 0.76 (1.2) (φ0.3) Thermal via 1.27 3.10 Note 2. Notes: 1. The exposed pad pattern conforms to JEDEC JESD51-5. 2. The resist is the same as that of the exposed pad. Thermal via should also be placed in positions outside of the resist opening area. (7) Recommendation of continuous mode operation There is a possibility of jumping up the output voltage in a discontinuous mode. In order to prevent from this jumping up voltage, the continuous mode operation is recommended. Fuji Electric Systems Co., Ltd.
