It regulates an input voltage between 4.75V to 27V down to an output voltage as low as 0.92V, and is able to supply up to 3A of load current. The MP2363 uses current-mode control to regulate the output voltage. The output voltage is measured at the FB pin through a resistive voltage divider and amplified through the internal error amplifier. The output current of the transconductance error amplifier is presented at COMP where a network compensates the regulation control system. The voltage at COMP is compared to the switch current measured internally to control the output voltage. The converter uses an internal N-Channel MOSFET switch to step-down the input voltage to the regulated output voltage. Since the MOSFET requires a gate voltage greater than the input voltage, a boost capacitor connected between SW and BS drives the gate. The capacitor is charged by an internal 5V supply while SW is low. An internal 10Ω switch from SW to GND is used to insure that SW is pulled to GND when SW is low to fully charge the boost.capacitor.

The voltage divider divides the output voltage down to the feedback voltage by the ratio: VFB = VOUT R2 R1 + R2 Choose an inductor that will not saturate under the maximum inductor peak current. The peak inductor current can be calculated by: ILP = ILOAD + ⎛ VOUT V × ⎜1 − OUT ⎜ 2 × fS × L ⎝ VIN ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠ Where ILOAD is the load current and fS is the 365KHz switching frequency. Table 1 lists a number of suitable inductors from various manufacturers. The choice of which style inductor to use mainly depends on the price vs. size requirements and any EMI requirement.

Thus the output voltage is: VOUT R1 + R2 = 0.92 × R2 A typical value for R2 can be as high as 100kΩ, but a typical value is 10kΩ. Using that value, R1 is determined by: R1 = 8.18 × ( VOUT − 0.92)(kΩ) Vendor/ Model Sumida CR75 CDH74 Core Type Open Open Core Material Ferrite Ferrite Ferrite Ferrite Ferrite Ferrite Ferrite Ferrite Ferrite Ferrite Ferrite Ferrite Inductor The inductor is required to supply constant current to the output load while being driven by the switched input voltage. A larger value inductor will result in less ripple current that will result in lower output ripple voltage. However, the larger value inductor will have a larger physical size, higher series resistance, and/or lower saturation current. A good rule for determining the inductance to use is to allow the peak-to-peak ripple current in the inductor to be approximately 30% of the maximum switch current limit. Also, make sure that the peak inductor current is below the maximum switch current limit. The inductance value can be calculated by: L= ⎛ ⎞ VOUT V × ⎜1 − OUT ⎟ ⎜ fS × ∆IL ⎝ VIN ⎟ ⎠ CDRH5D28 Shielded CDRH5D28 Shielded CDRH6D28 Shielded CDRH104R Shielded Toko D53LC Type A D75C D104C D10FL Coilcraft DO3308 DO3316 Open Open Shielded Shielded Shielded Open 10.1 10.0 5.0 7.6 9.7 9.4 9.4 5.0 7.6 1.5 13.0 13.0 10.0 10.0 Where VIN is the input voltage, fS is the 365KHz switching frequency, and ∆IL is the peak-topeak inductor ripple current. Output Rectifier Diode The output rectifier diode supplies the current to the inductor when the high-side switch is off. To reduce losses due to the diode forward voltage and recovery times, use a Schottky diode. MP2363 Rev. 1.0 6/15/2006 www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information.

Diodes Inc. On Semiconductor On Semiconductor The input capacitor can be electrolytic, tantalum or ceramic. When using electrolytic or tantalum capacitors, a small, high quality ceramic capacitor, i.e. 0.1µF, should be placed as close to the IC as possible. When using ceramic capacitors, make sure that they have enough capacitance to provide sufficient charge to prevent excessive voltage ripple at input. The input voltage ripple caused by capacitance can be estimated by: ∆VIN = ⎛ ILOAD V V × OUT × ⎜1 − OUT fS × C1 VIN ⎜ VIN ⎝ ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠ Input Capacitor The input current to the step-down converter is discontinuous, therefore a capacitor is required to supply the AC current to the step-down converter while maintaining the DC input voltage. Use low ESR capacitors for the best performance. Ceramic capacitors are preferred, but tantalum or low-ESR electrolytic capacitors may also suffice. Since the input capacitor (C1) absorbs the input switching current it requires an adequate ripple current rating. The RMS current in the input capacitor can be estimated by: I C1 = ILOAD × VOUT ⎛ VOUT ×⎜1− VIN ⎜ VIN ⎝ ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠ Output Capacitor The output capacitor (C2) is required to maintain the DC output voltage. Ceramic, tantalum or low ESR electrolytic capacitors are recommended. Low ESR capacitors are preferred to keep the output voltage ripple low. The output voltage ripple can be estimated by: ∆VOUT = VOUT ⎛ V × ⎜1 − OUT ⎜ fS × L ⎝ VIN ⎞ ⎞⎛ 1 ⎟ ⎟ × ⎜ R ESR + ⎟⎜ 8 × f S × C2 ⎟ ⎠⎝ ⎠ Where L is the inductor value and RESR is the equivalent series resistance (ESR) value of the output capacitor. In the case of ceramic capacitors, the impedance at the switching frequency is dominated by the capacitance. The output voltage ripple is mainly caused by the capacitance. For simplification, the output voltage ripple can be estimated by: ∆VOUT = VOUT 8 × fS 2 ILOAD is the load current, VOUT is the output voltage, and VIN is the input voltage. The worstcase condition occurs at VIN = 2VOUT, where: IC1 = ILOAD 2 ⎛ V × ⎜1 − OUT ⎜ VIN × L × C2 ⎝ ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠ For simplification, choose the input capacitor whose RMS current rating greater than half of the maximum load current. In the case of tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, the ESR dominates the impedance at the switching frequency. For simplification, the output ripple can be approximated to: ∆VOUT = VOUT ⎛ V ⎞ × ⎜1 − OUT ⎟ × RESR fS × L ⎝ VIN ⎠ The characteristics of the output capacitor also affect the stability of the regulation system. The MP2363 can be optimized for a wide range of capacitance and ESR values. MP2363 Rev. 1.0 6/15/2006 www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information.

The system stability and transient response are controlled through the COMP pin. COMP pin is the output of the internal transconductance error amplifier. A series capacitor-resistor combination sets a pole-zero combination to control the characteristics of the control system. The DC gain of the voltage feedback loop is given by: A VDC = R LOAD × G CS × A VEA × VFB VOUT In this case, a third pole set by compensation capacitor (C6) and compensation resistor (R3) is used compensate the effect of the ESR zero on loop gain. This pole is located at: f P3 = 1 2π × C6 × R3 the the to the The goal of compensation design is to shape the converter transfer function to get a desired loop gain. The system crossover frequency where the feedback loop has the unity gain is important. Lower crossover frequencies result in slower line and load transient responses, while higher crossover frequencies can cause system instability. A good rule of thumb is to set the crossover frequency to approximately one-tenth of the switching frequency. Switching frequency for the MP2363 is 365KHz, so the desired crossover frequency is around 36.5KHz. Table 3 lists the typical values of compensation components for some standard output voltages with various output capacitors and inductors. The values of the compensation components have been optimized for fast transient responses and good stability at given conditions.

The system has two poles of importance. One is due to the compensation capacitor (C3) and the output resistor of error amplifier, and the other is due to the output capacitor and the load resistor. These poles are located at: fP1 = fP2 = GEA 2π × C3 × A VEA 1 2π × C2 × R LOAD Where GEA is the transconductance, 800µA/V. error amplifier The system has one zero of importance, due to the compensation capacitor (C3) and the compensation resistor (R3).

All Rights Reserved. 8 MP2363 – 3A, 27V, 365KHz STEP-DOWN CONVERTER To optimize the compensation components for conditions not listed in Table 2, the following procedure can be used. 1. Choose the compensation resistor (R3) to set the desired crossover frequency. Determine the R3 value by the following equation: R3 = 2π × C2 × f C VOUT × G EA × G CS VFB Soft-Start Capacitor To reduce input inrush current during startup, a programmable soft-start is provided by connecting a capacitor (C4) from pin SS to GND. The soft-start time is given by: t SS (ms ) = 45 × C SS (µF) Where fC is the desired crossover frequency (which typically has a value no higher than 37.5KHz). 2. Choose the compensation capacitor (C3) to achieve the desired phase margin. For applications with typical inductor values, setting the compensation zero, fZ1, below one forth of the crossover frequency provides sufficient phase margin. Determine the C3 value by the following equation: 4 C3 > 2π × R3 × f C To reduce the susceptibility to noise, do not leave SS pin open. Use a capacitor with small value if you do not need soft-start function. External Bootstrap Diode It is recommended that an external bootstrap diode be added when the system has a 5V fixed input or the power supply generates a 5V output. This helps improve the efficiency of the regulator. The bootstrap diode can be a low cost one such as IN4148 or BAT54. 5V DIODE BS 1 MP2363 SW 3 10nF 3. Determine if the second compensation capacitor (C6) is required. It is required if the ESR zero of the output capacitor is located at less than half of the 365KHz switching frequency, or the following relationship is valid: f 1 65%) and high VIN output voltage (VOUT>12V) applications. If this is the case, then add the second compensation capacitor (C6) to set the pole fP3 at the location of the ESR zero. Determine the C6 value by the equation: C6 = C2 × R ESR R3 MP2363 Rev. 1.0 6/15/2006 www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information.
