All Rights Reserved. 5 MP1542 – 700KHz/1.3MHz BOOST CONVERTER WITH A 2A SWITCH At the beginning of each cycle, the N-Channel MOSFET switch is turned on, forcing the inductor current to rise. The current at the source of the switch is internally measured and converted to a voltage by the current sense amplifier. That voltage is compared to the error voltage at COMP. The voltage at the output of the error amplifier is an amplified version of the difference between the 1.25V reference voltage and the feedback voltage. When these two voltages are equal, the PWM comparator turns off the switch forcing the inductor current to the output capacitor through the external rectifier. This causes the inductor current to decrease. The peak inductor current is controlled by the voltage at COMP, which in turn is controlled by the output voltage. Thus the output voltage controls the inductor current to satisfy the load. The use of current mode regulation improves transient response and control loop stability. APPLICATION INFORMATION Components referenced below apply to Typical Application Circuit on page 1. Selecting the Soft-Start Capacitor The MP1542 includes a soft-start timer that limits the voltage at COMP during startup to prevent excessive current at the input. This prevents premature termination of the source voltage at startup due to input current overshoot. When power is applied to the MP1542, and enable is asserted, a 6µA internal current source charges the external capacitor at SS. As the SS capacitor is charged, the voltage at SS rises. The MP1542 internally clamps the voltage at COMP to 700mV above the voltage at SS. The soft-start ends when the voltage at SS reaches 0.45V. This limits the inductor current at start-up, forcing the input current to rise slowly to the current required to regulate the output voltage. The soft-start period is determined by the equation: t SS = 75 × C SS where VOUT is the output voltage. For R2 = 10kΩ and VFB = 1.25V, then R1 (kΩ) = 8kΩ (VOUT – 1.25V). Selecting the Input Capacitor An input capacitor is required to supply the AC ripple current to the inductor, while limiting noise at the input source. A low ESR capacitor is required to keep the noise at the IC to a minimum. Ceramic capacitors are preferred, but tantalum or low-ESR electrolytic capacitors may also suffice. Use an input capacitor value greater than 4.7µF. The capacitor can be electrolytic, tantalum or ceramic. However since it absorbs the input switching current it requires an adequate ripple current rating. Use a capacitor with RMS current rating greater than the inductor ripple current (see Selecting The Inductor to determine the inductor ripple current). To insure stable operation place the input capacitor as close to the IC as possible. Alternately a smaller high quality ceramic 0.1µF capacitor may be placed closer to the IC with the larger capacitor placed further away. If using this technique, it is recommended that the larger capacitor be a tantalum or electrolytic type. All ceramic capacitors should be placed close to the MP1542. Where CSS (in nF) is the soft-start capacitor from SS to GND, and tSS (in µs) is the soft-start period. Determine the capacitor required for a given soft-start period by the equation: C SS = 0.0133 × t SS Setting the Output Voltage Set the output voltage by selecting the resistive voltage divider ratio. Use 10kΩ for the low-side resistor R2 of the voltage divider. Determine the high-side resistor R1 by the equation: R1 = MP1542 Rev. 1.2 12/14/2005 R2( VOUT − VFB ) VFB www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information.

Low ESR capacitors are preferred to keep the output voltage ripple to a minimum. The characteristic of the output capacitor also affects the stability of the regulation control system. Ceramic, tantalum, or low ESR electrolytic capacitors are recommended. In the case of ceramic capacitors, the impedance of the capacitor at the switching frequency is dominated by the capacitance, and so the output voltage ripple is mostly independent of the ESR. The output voltage ripple is estimated to be: ⎛ V⎞ ⎜1 - IN ⎟ × ILOAD ⎜V ⎟ OUT ⎠ ⎝ ≈ C2 × f SW Selecting the Inductor The inductor is required to force the higher output voltage while being driven by the input voltage. A larger value inductor results in less ripple current that results in lower peak inductor current, reducing stress on the internal N-Channel.switch. However, the larger value inductor has a larger physical size, higher series resistance, and/or lower saturation current. A 4.7µH inductor is recommended for most 1.3MHz applications and a 10µH inductor is recommended for most 700KHz applications. However, a more exact inductance value can be calculated. A good rule of thumb is to allow the peak-to-peak ripple current to be approximately 30-50% of the maximum input current. Make sure that the peak inductor current is below 75% of the current limit at the operating duty cycle to prevent loss of regulation due to the current limit. Also make sure that the inductor does not saturate under the worst-case load transient and startup conditions. Calculate the required inductance value by the equation: L= VIN × (VOUT - VIN ) VOUT × f SW × ∆I VOUT × ILOAD (MAX ) VIN × η VRIPPLE Where VRIPPLE is the output ripple voltage, VIN and VOUT are the DC input and output voltages respectively, ILOAD is the load current, fSW is the switching frequency, and C2 is the capacitance of the output capacitor. In the case of tantalum or low-ESR electrolytic capacitors, the ESR dominates the impedance at the switching frequency, and so the output ripple is calculated as: (1 − VRIPPLE ≈ VIN ) × ILOAD VOUT I × R ESR × VOUT + LOAD C2 × f SW VIN IIN(MAX ) = Where RESR is the equivalent series resistance of the output capacitors. Choose an output capacitor to satisfy the output ripple and load transient requirements of the design. A 4.7µF-22µF ceramic capacitor is suitable for most applications. ∆I = (30% − 50%)IIN(MAX ) Where ILOAD(MAX) is the maximum load current, ∆I is the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current, and η is efficiency. Selecting the Diode The output rectifier diode supplies current to the inductor when the internal MOSFET is off. To reduce losses due to diode forward voltage and recovery time, use a Schottky diode with the MP1542. The diode should be rated for a reverse voltage equal to or greater than the output voltage used. The average current rating must be greater than the maximum load current expected, and the peak current rating must be greater than the peak inductor current.

The system uses two poles and one zero to stabilize the control loop. The poles are fP1 set by the output capacitor C2 and load resistance and fP2 set by the compensation capacitor C3. The zero fZ1 is set by the compensation capacitor C3 and the compensation resistor R3. These are determined by the equations: fP1 = fP2 = 1 π × C2 × RLOAD Table 1—Component Selection VIN (V) 3.3 3.3 3.3 3.3 3.3 3.3 3.3 3.3 3.3 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 12 12 12 12 12 12 VOUT (V) 8 8 8 12 12 12 18 18 18 8 8 8 12 12 12 18 18 18 15 15 15 18 18 18 C2 (µF) 4.7 10 22 4.7 10 22 4.7 10 22 4.7 10 22 4.7 10 22 4.7 10 22 4.7 10 22 4.7 10 22 R3 (kΩ) 10 10 10 15 15 15 20 20 30 10 10 15 15 15 20 20 20 30 10 10 15 5.1 5.1 15 C3 (nF) 2.2 2.2 2.2 1 1 2.2 1 1 2.2 4.7 4.7 1 2.2 2.2 1 1 1 1 2.2 2.2 1 2.2 2.2 1 G EA 2 × π × C3 × A VEA 1 2 × π × C3 × R3 f Z1 = Where RLOAD is the load resistance, GEA is the error amplifier transconductance, and AVEA is the error amplifier voltage gain. The DC loop gain is: A VDC = 1.5 × A VEA × VIN × R LOAD × VFB VOUT 2 Where VFB is the feedback regulation threshold. There is also a right-half-plane zero (fRHPZ) that exists in continuous conduction mode (inductor current does not drop to zero on each cycle) step-up converters. The frequency of the right half plane zero is: fRHPZ = VIN × R LOAD 2 × π × L × VOUT 2 2 Table 1 lists generally recommended compensation components for different input voltage, output voltage and capacitance of most frequently used output ceramic capacitors. Ceramic capacitors have extremely low ESR, therefore the second compensation capacitor (from COMP to GND) is not required. For faster control loop and better transient response, set the capacitor C3 to the recommended value in Table 1. Then slowly increase the resistor R3 and check the load step response on a bench to make sure the ringing and overshoot on the output voltage at the edge of the load steps is minimal. Finally, the compensation needs to be checked by calculating the DC loop gain and the crossover frequency. The crossover frequency where the loop gain drops to 0dB or a gain of 1 can be obtained visually by placing a –20dB/decade slope at each pole, and a +20dB/decade slope at each zero. The crossover frequency should be at least one decade below the frequency of the right-half-plane zero at maximum output load current to obtain high enough phase margin for stability. 8 MP1542 Rev. 1.2 12/14/2005 www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information.

The positive and negative charge pump outputs are configured with discrete components. Adjust the output capacitance and compensation component values as necessary to meet transient performance. Layout Consideration High frequency switching regulators require very careful layout for stable operation and low noise. All components must be placed as close to the IC as possible. Keep the path between the SW pin, output diode, output capacitor and GND pin extremely short for minimal noise and ringing. The input capacitor must be placed close to the IN pin for best decoupling. All feedback components must be kept close to the FB pin to prevent noise injection on the FB pin trace. The ground return of the input and output capacitors should be tied close to the GND pin.
