LM2611 1.4MHz Cuk Converter January 2005 LM2611 1.4MHz Cuk Converter General Description The LM2611 is a current mode, PWM inverting switching regulator. Operating from a 2.7 - 14V supply, it is capable of producing a regulated negative output voltage of up to −(36VIN(MAX)). The LM2611 utilizes an input and output inductor, which enables low voltage ripple and RMS current on both the input and the output. With a switching frequency of 1.4MHz, the inductors and output capacitor can be physically small and low cost. High efficiency is achieved through the use of a low RDS(ON) FET. The LM2611 features a shutdown pin, which can be activated when the part is not needed to lower the Iq and save battery life. A negative feedback (NFB) pin provides a simple method of setting the output voltage, using just two resistors. Cycle-by-cycle current limiting and internal compensation further simplify the use of the LM2611. The LM2611 is available is a small SOT23-5 package.

Operating Ratings are conditions for which the device is intended to be functional, but device parameter specifications may not be guaranteed. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. Note 2: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ(MAX), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJA, and the ambient temperature, TA. See the Electrical Characteristics table for the thermal resistance of various layouts. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using: PD (MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA)/θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.

Operating Cycles of a Cuk Converter The LM2611 is a current mode, fixed frequency PWM switching regulator with a −1.23V reference that makes it ideal for use in a Cuk converter. The Cuk converter inverts the input and can step up or step down the absolute value. Using inductors on both the input and output, the Cuk converter produces very little input and output current ripple. This is a significant advantage over other inverting topologies such as the buck-boost and flyback. The operating states of the Cuk converter are shown in Figure 1. During the first cycle, the transistor switch is closed and the diode is open. L1 is charged by the source and L2 is charged by CCUK, while the output current is provided by L2. In the second cycle, L1 charges CCUK and L2 discharges through the load. By applying the volt-second balance to either of the inductors, the relationship of VOUT to the duty cycle (D) is found to be: 20018103 FIGURE 2. Voltage and Current Waveforms in Inductor L1 of a Cuk Converter The following sections review the steady-state design of the LM2611 Cuk converter. Output and Input Inductor Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the steady-state voltage and current waveforms for L1 and L2, respectively. Referring to Figure 1 (a), when the switch is closed, VIN is applied across L1. In the next cycle, the switch opens and the diode becomes forward biased, and VOUT is applied across L1 (the voltage across CCUK is VIN − VOUT. The voltage and current waveforms of inductor L2 are shown in Figure 3. During the first cycle of operation, when the switch is closed, VIN is applied across L2. When the switch opens, VOUT is applied across L2. 20018104 FIGURE 3. Voltage and Current Waveforms in Inductor L2 of a Cuk Converter www.national.com 6 LM2611 Operation (Continued) Input Capacitor The input current waveform to a Cuk converter is continuous and triangular, as shown in Figure 2. The input inductor insures that the input capacitor sees fairly low ripple currents. However, as the input inductor gets smaller, the input ripple goes up. The RMS current in the input capacitor is given by: The following equations define values given in Figure 2 and Figure 3: IL2 = IOUT Use these equations to choose correct core sizes for the inductors. The design of the LM2611’s internal compensation assumes L1 and L2 are equal to 10 - 22 µH, thus it is recommended to stay within this range. Switch Current Limit The LM2611 incorporates a separate current limit comparator, making current limit independent of any other variables. The current limit comparator measures the switch current versus a reference that represents current limit. If at any time the switch current surpasses the current limit, the switch opens until the next switching period. To determine the maximum load for a given set of conditions, both the input and output inductor currents must be considered. The switch current is equal to iL1 + iL2, and is drawn in Figure 4. In summary: The input capacitor should be capable of handling the RMS current. Although the input capacitor is not so critical in a Cuk converter, a 10µF or higher value good quality capacitor prevents any impedance interactions with the input supply. A 0.1µF or 1µF ceramic bypass capacitor is also recommended on the VIN pin (pin 5) of the IC. This capacitor must be connected very close to pin 5 (within 0.2 inches). Output Capacitor Like the input current, the output current is also continuous, triangular, and has low ripple (see IL2 in Figure 3). The output capacitor must be rated to handle its RMS current: ISW(PEAK) must be less than the current limit (1.2A typical), but will also be limited by the thermal resistivity of the LM2611’s SOT23-5 package (θJA = 265˚C/W). For example, ICOUT(RMS) can range from 30mA to 180mA with 10µH ≤ L1,2 ≤ 22µH, −10V ≤ VOUT ≤ −3.3V, and 2.7V ≤ VIN ≤ 30V (VIN may be 30V if using separate power and analog supplies, see Split Supply Operation in the APPLICATIONS section). The worst case conditions are with L1,2, VOUT(MAX), and VIN(MAX). Many capacitor technologies will provide this level of RMS current, but ceramic capacitors are ideally suited for the LM2611. Ceramic capacitors provide a good combination of capacitance and equivalent series resistance (ESR) to keep the zero formed by the capacitance and ESR at high frequencies. The ESR zero is calculated as: A general rule of thumb is to keep fESR > 80kHz for LM2611 Cuk designs. Low ESR tantalum capacitors will usually be rated for at least 180mA in a voltage rating of 10V or above. However the ESR in a tantalum capacitor (even in a low ESR tantalum capacitor) is much higher than in a ceramic capacitor and could place fESR low enough to cause the LM2611 to run unstable. 20018102 FIGURE 4. Switch Current Waveform in a Cuk Converter. The peak value is equal to the sum of the average currents through L1 and L2 and the average-to-peak current ripples through L1 and L2. Improving Transient Response/Compensation The compensator in the LM2611 is internal. However, a zero-pole pair can be added to the open loop frequency response by inserting a feed forward capacitor, CFF, in parallel to the top feedback resistor (RFB1). Phase margin and bandwidth can be improved with the added zero-pole pair. This inturn will improve the transient response to a step load change (see Figure 5 and Figure 6). The position of the zero-pole pair is a function of the feedback resistors and the capacitor value: 7 www.national.com LM2611 Operation (Continued) (1) (2) The optimal position for this zero-pole pair will vary with circuit parameters such as D, IOUT, COUT, L1, L2, and CCUK. For most cases, the value for the zero frequency is between 5 kHz to 20 kHz. Notice how the pole position, ωp, is dependant on the feedback resistors RFB1 and RFB2, and therefore also dependant on the output voltage. As the output voltage becomes closer to −1.26V, the pole moves towards the zero, tending to cancel it out. If the absolute magnitude of the output voltage is less than 3.3V, adding the zero-pole pair will not have much effect on the response. 20018122 ) LEVEL 3 FIGURE 6. 130mA to 400mA Transient Response of the circuit in Figure 9 with CFF disconnected Hysteretic Mode As the output current decreases, there will come a point when the energy stored in the Cuk capacitor is more than the energy required by the load. The excess energy is absorbed by the output capacitor, causing the output voltage to increase out of regulation. The LM2611 detects when this happens and enters a pulse skipping, or hysteretic mode. In hysteretic mode, the output voltage ripple will increase, as illustrated in Figure 7 and Figure 8. 20018120 ) LEVEL 3 FIGURE 5. 130mA to 400mA Transient Response of the circuit in Figure 9 with CFF = 1nF 20018121 FIGURE 7. The LM2611 in PWM mode has very low ripple www.national.com 8 LM2611 Operation (Continued) 20018123 FIGURE 8. At low loads, the LM2611 enters a pulse-skipping mode. The output ripple slightly increases in this mode. Thermal Shutdown If the junction temperature of the LM2611 exceeds 163˚C, it will enter thermal shutdown. In thermal shutdown, the part deactivates the driver and the switch turns off. The switch remains off until the junction temperature drops to 155˚C, at which point the part begins switching again. It will typically take 10ms for the junction temperature to drop from 163˚C to 155˚C with the switch off. 9 www.national.com LM2611 Application Circuits 5V to -5V Inverting Converter 20018117 Efficiency vs Load Current 20018158 20018160 FIGURE 9.

LM2611 Operating with Separate Power and Biasing Supplies Split Supply Operation The LM2611 may be operated with separate power and bias supplies. In the circuit shown in Figure 12. VIN is the power supply that the regulated voltage is derived from, and VDD is a low current supply used to bias the LM2611. Conditions for the supplies are: 2.7V ≤ VDD ≤ 14V 0V ≤ VIN ≤ (36 - IVOUTI) V As the input voltage increases, the maximum output current capacbility increases. Using a separate, higher voltage supply for power conversion enables the LM2611 to provide higher output currents than it would with a single supply that is limited in voltage by VIN(MAX). Shutdown/Soft Start A soft start circuit is used in switching power supplies to limit the input inrush current upon start-up. Without a soft-start circuit, the inrush current can be several times the steadystate load current, and thus apply unnecessary stress to the input source. The LM2611 does not have soft-start circuitry, but implementing the circuit in Figure 13 will lower the peak inrush current. The SHDN pin is coupled to the output through CSS. The LM2611 is toggled between shutdown and run states while the output slowly decreases to its steadystate value. The energy required to reach steady-state is spread over a longer time and the input current spikes decrease (see Figure 14 and Figure 15). www.national.com 12 LM2611 Application Circuits (Continued) 20018125 FIGURE 13.

The duty cycle will begin to increase beyond 50% as the input voltage drops below the absolute magnitude of the output voltage. RFB3 and CFF2 are added to the feedback network to introduce a low frequency lag compensation (pole-zero pair) necessary to stabilize the circuit under the combination of high duty cycle and high load currents. 20018129 FIGURE 16.
