LM2773 Low-Ripple 1.8V/1.6V Spread-Spectrum Switched Capacitor Step-Down Regulator January 22, 2008 LM2773 Low-Ripple 1.8V/1.6V Spread-Spectrum Switched Capacitor Step-Down Regulator General Description The LM2773 is a switched capacitor step-down regulator that produces a selectable 1.8V or 1.6V output. It is capable of supplying loads up to 300mA. The LM2773 operates with an input voltage from 2.5V to 5.5V, accommodating 1-cell Li-Ion batteries and chargers. The LM2773 utilizes a regulated charge pump with gains of 2/3x and 1x. It has very low ripple and noise on both the input and output due to its pre-regulated 1.15MHz (typ.) switching frequency and spread spectrum operation. When output currents are low, the LM2773 automatically switches to a lowripple PFM regulation mode to maintain high efficiency over the entire load range. The LM2773 is available in National’s 0.5mm pitch 9-bump Micro-SMD (µSMD-9).

Thermal shutdown engages at TJ=150°C (typ.) and disengages at TJ=140°C (typ.). Note 5: The Human body model is a 100pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor into each pin. MIL-STD-883 3015.7 Note 6: Maximum ambient temperature (TA-MAX) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ-MAX-OP = 110°C), the maximum power dissipation of the device in the application (PD-MAX), and the junction-to ambient thermal resistance of the part/package in the application (θJA), as given by the following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP – (θJA × PD-MAX). Note 7: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is highly application and board-layout dependent. In applications where high maximum power dissipation exists, special care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues. Note 8: Min and Max limits are guaranteed by design, test, or statistical analysis. Typical numbers are not guaranteed, but do represent the most likely norm. Note 9: Open loop output resistance can be used to predict output voltage when, under low VIN and high IOUT conditions, VOUT falls out of regulation. VOUT = (Gain)VIN - (ROL x IOUT) Note 10: CIN, COUT, C1, C2: Low-ESR Surface-Mount Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) used in setting electrical characteristics. Note 11: VOUT is set to 1.9V during this test (Device is not switching). Note 12: There are 350kΩ pull-down resistors connected internally between the EN pin and GND and the SEL pin and GND.

The core of the part is a highly efficient charge pump that utilizes fixed frequency pre-regulation, Pulse Frequency Modulation, and spread spectrum to minimize conducted noise and power losses over wide input voltage and output current ranges. A description of the principal operational characteristics of the LM2773 is detailed in the Circuit Description, and Efficiency Performance sections. These sections refer to details in the Block Diagram. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The core of the LM2773 is a two-phase charge pump controlled by an internally generated non-overlapping clock. The charge pump operates by using external flying capacitors C1 and C2 to transfer charge from the input to the output. The LM2773 will operate in a 1x Gain, with the input current being equal to the load current, when the input voltage is at or below 3.5V (typ.) for 1.8V mode or 3.3V (typ.) for 1.6V mode. At input voltages above 3.5V (typ.) or 3.3V (typ.) for the respective voltage mode selected, the part utilizes a gain of 2/3x, resulting in an input current equal to 2/3 times the load current. The two phases of the switched capacitor switching cycle will be referred to as the "charge phase" and the "discharge phase". During the charge phase, the flying capacitor is charged by the input supply. After half of the switching cycle [ t = 1/(2×FSW) ], the LM2773 switches to the discharge phase. In this configuration, the charge that was stored on the flying capacitors in the charge phase is transferred to the output. The LM2773 uses fixed frequency pre-regulation to regulate the output voltage to 1.8V during moderate to high load currents. The input and output connections of the flying capacitors are made with internal MOS switches. Pre-regulation limits the gate drive of the MOS switch connected between the voltage input and the flying capacitors. Controlling the on resistance of this switch limits the amount of charge transferred into and out of each flying capacitor during the charge and discharge phases, and in turn helps to keep the output ripple very low. When output currents are low (
