Boost Function The MP9184 uses constant frequency, peakcurrent mode, boost regulation architecture to regulate the feedback voltage. At the beginning of each cycle, the N-channel MOSFET switch Q is turned on, forcing the inductor current to rise. When floating MODE, the current at the source of switch Q is measured externally; then it is converted to a voltage by the current-sense amplifier. That voltage is compared to the error voltage on COMP (which is an amplified version of the difference between the 1.225V reference voltage and the feedback voltage). When these two voltages are equal, the PWM comparator turns off switch Q. This forces the inductor current into the output capacitor through the external rectifier, causing the inductor current to decrease. The peak-inductor current is controlled by the voltage on COMP, which in turn is controlled by the output voltage. To satisfy the load, the output voltage is regulated by the inductor current. Current mode regulation improves transient response and control loop stability. VDD Power MP9184 is powered by VDD. A ceramic capacitor no less than 2.2μF is required to decouple VDD. During start-up, VDD power is regulated by IN. Once the output voltage exceeds the input voltage, VDD is powered from VOUT (instead of VIN). This allows the MP9184 to maintain low Ron and high efficiency, even with low-input voltage. Soft-Start (SS) MP9184 uses one external capacitor on SS to control SW frequency during start-up. The operation frequency is initially ¼ of the normal frequency. As the SS capacitor is charged, the frequency increases continuously. When the MP9184 Rev. 1.0 8/27/2015 voltage on SS exceeds ~0.65V, the frequency switches to a normal frequency. In addition, the voltage on COMP is clamped within VSS+0.7V. During start-up the COMP voltage reaches 0.7V quickly, and then rises at the same rate of VSS. These two mechanisms prevent highinrush current from the input power supply. SDR and BST Function The MP9184 generates a synchronous gatedriving signal that complements the gate driver of the internal MOSFET. The SDR driver is powered from BST (5V, typically) and a low QG N-channel MOSFET (a gate-source threshold voltage lower than 3V is preferred). In highpower applications, using a synchronous rectifier switch improves overall conversion efficiency. If a synchronous rectifier switch is not used, float SDR. The 5V driver power-bootstrap voltage is powered from OUT. If output voltage is low (or the duty cycle is too low), BST voltage may not be regulated to 5V, triggering a BST_UVLO. A schottky diode from an external 5V source to BST is recommended, otherwise, the SDR driver signal may be lost. Current Sensing Configuration The MP9184 offers the option of using the internal circuit or an external resistor to sample the inductor current. When using the internal current sense, MODE must be connected directly to GND before powering on. Meanwhile, SENSE should be connected to IN. In this configuration, sensed current is compared to both the COMP voltage and the limit peak current cycle-by-cycle during an overload condition. When floating MODE, the inductor current is sampled by an external sense resistor between IN and SENSE. Under this configuration, sensed current is compared with COMP for lowside switch on/off control. However, the overload is protected by the average inductor current. When the sensed current signal exceeds 54mV, COMP is pulled low to regulate the boosted current. This causes the MP9184 to enter hiccup mode (after 1.1ms). The MP9184 re-starts after about 60ms in hiccup www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information. Patent Protected. Unauthorized Photocopy and Duplication Prohibited. © 2015 MPS.

If the sampled current signal rises to 100mV (within the 1.1ms blank time), immediately the MP9184 operates in hiccup mode. The MP9184 starts switching in internal currentsense mode after it detects 0V on MODE. In external current-sense mode, MP9184 detects MODE voltage and starts switching (after MODE is higher than Vin + 2V). In over-current or hiccup mode, MODE is pulled low. If the average current limit is triggered before switching, MP9184 may not start switching because MODE is regulated to low in an overload condition. If the peak-inductor current is higher than 6A, an external current-sensing resistor is recommended. Do NOT change the sensing configuration when MP9184 is in operation. Light-Load Operation To optimize efficiency at light load, MP9184 employs a pulse-skipping mechanism and foldback frequency. When the load becomes lighter, the COMP voltage decreases, causing the MP9184 to enter foldback operation (the lighter the load, the lower the frequency). However, if the load becomes exceedingly low, MP9184 enters PSM. PSM operation is optimized so that only one SW pulse is launched every burst cycle; therefore the output ripple is very low. Enable (EN) and Programmable UVLO EN enables and disables the MP9184. When applying voltage higher than the EN higher threshold (1V, typically), MP9184 starts up some of the internal circuits (micro-power mode). If EN voltage exceeds the turn-on threshold (1.33V), the MP9184 enables all functions and starts boost operation. Boost operation is disabled when EN voltage falls below its lower threshold (1.33V).
