NCP1589L
Low Voltage Synchronous
Buck Controller with Light
Load Efficiency and
Transient Enhancement
The NCP1589L is a low cost PWM controller designed to operate
from a 5 V or 12 V supply. This device is capable of producing an
output voltage as low as 0.8 V and converting voltage from as low as
2.5 V. It is easy to operate and provides an optimal level of integration
to reduce size and cost of the power supply. It operates in Ramp Pulse
Modulation mode for superior load step and release response. In
addition to fast transient response, it also includes a 1.5 A gate driver
design and light load efficiency features such as adaptive non−overlap
circuitry and diode emulation. It normally operates at a range of
200−500 kHz in continuous current conduction mode, which reduces
with current at light load for further power saving. Protection features
include programmable overcurrent protection, output overvoltage and
undervoltage protection and input undervoltage lockout (UVLO).

NCP1589L
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
from 0 to 2.5 V in 4.2 ms; however if the output capacitors
already has 1.2 V voltage, the NCP1589L will not discharge
the capacitors, instead the soft−start sequence will begin at
1.2 V and then ramp the output up to 2.5 V.
The NCP1589L monitors the voltage across the low side
MOSFET and used this information to determine if there is
excessive output current. The voltage across the low side
MOSFET is measured from the LX pin when it is conducted,
and is referenced to ground. The overcurrent measurement
is timed to occur at the end of the low side MOSFET
conduction period.
If the voltage drop across the bottom MOSFET exceeds
the overcurrent protection threshold, then an internal
counter is triggered and incremented. If the voltage drop
does not exceed the threshold for the next cycle, the internal
counter will be reset. The NCP1589L will latch the over
current protection fault condition after 4 consecutive cycles
of overcurrent events.
When the NCP1589L latches an overcurrent protection
fault, both the high side and low side MOSFETs are turned
off. To reset the overcurrent protection fault, the power to the
VCC pin must be cycled.
The overcurrent threshold can be set externally, by
varying the ROCSET resistor shunted from low side gate pin
to ground. During power on reset, after the VCC and BOOT
pins both pass the undervoltage lockout threshold, the
NCP1589L will source a 10 mA current from LG pin through
the ROCSET resistor and produce a voltage. This voltage will
be sampled and locked by the device as the overcurrent
protection threshold. For example, if ROCSET is set to 10 kW,
the 10 mA of current will yield a 100 mV threshold, and if
the voltage across the low side MOSFET exceeds 100 mV
at the end of the its conduction period, an overcurrent event
will be detected. The OCP threshold is only associated with
power on reset, and won’t be wiped out by pulling COMP
pin down (disabling the part).
If the ROCSET resistor is not present, the overcurrent
protection threshold will max out at 640 mV. The
recommended range for ROCSET is 5 kW to 60 kW which
yields a threshold voltage range of 50 mV to 600 mV.
Power Good
The PGOOD pin is an open drain connection, with an
active high output to signal the condition of the converter.
PGOOD is pulled low during soft−start cycle, and if there is
overvoltage or undervoltage fault. If the voltage on the FB
pin is within ±10% of Vref (800 mV) then the PGOOD pin
will not be pulled low. The PGOOD pin does not have an
internal pull-up resistor.
Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
If the voltage on the FB pin exceeds the overvoltage
threshold (1000 mV, 125% of Vref), the NCP1589L will
latch an overvoltage fault. During an overvoltage fault event
the UG pin will be pulled low, and the LG pin will stay high
until the voltage on the FB pin goes below Vref/2 (400 mV).
If the overvoltage fault condition stays, the NCP1589L will
continue drive the LG pin, LG will go high if FB exceeds
1000 mV, then go low when FB is below 400 mV. The power
of the NCP1589L needs to be cycled up to clear the
overvoltage fault.
Undervoltage Protection (UVP)
If the voltage on the FB pin falls below the undervoltage
threshold after the soft−start cycle completes, then the
NCP1589L will latch an undervoltage fault. During an
undervoltage fault, both the UG and LG pins will be pulled
low. Toggling power or COMP pin will reset the
undervoltage protection unit.
VORPM (RPM threshold)
The NCP1589L runs in RPM mode, its switching
frequency is controlled by COMP ripple voltage and RPM
threshold. The VORPM pin is connected to the output
voltage through an external divider. This voltage value is
proportional to the output voltage and sets the RPM
threshold voltage internally with input voltage information
obtained through the switch node. The internal RPM
threshold voltage (DTH) is a function of both Vout and Vin.
Internal Soft−Start
To prevent excess inrush current during startup, the
NCP1589L uses a calibrated current source with an internal
soft−start capacitor to ramp the reference voltage from 0 V
to 800 mV over a period of around 4 ms. The soft−start ramp
generator will reset if the input power supply voltages reach
the undervoltage lockout threshold, or if the NCP1589L is
disabled by having the COMP pin pulled low.

V ramp ) V offset
(eq. 1)
Where R9/R10 (Figure 1) is the input voltage divider of
VORPM pin Vramp is the internal ramp amplitude, Voffset is
the offset voltage of the threshold.
Each time when COMP voltage exceeds RPM threshold
voltage, an internal ramp signal is started and UG is driven
high. When the internal ramp intercepts with COMP
voltage, the UG pin is reset low. The NCP1589L system
operates at pseudo-fixed frequency in continuous current
Startup into a Precharged Load
During a startup, the NCP1589L will detect the residual
charge on the output capacitors. Instead of fully discharging
the capacitors, the soft−start will begin from the precharged
output voltage level. For example, if the NCP1589L is
configured to provide a regulated output voltage of 2.5 V, the
normal soft−start sequence will ramp the output voltage

Feedback Voltage
The NCP1589L allows the output voltage to be adjusted
from 0.8 V to 5 V via an external resistor divider network
(R1, R4 in Figure 1). The controller will try to maintain
0.8 V at the FB pin. Thus, if a resistor divider circuit was
placed across the feedback pin to Vout, the controller will
regulate the output voltage in proportion to the resistor
divider ratio in order to maintain 0.8 V at the FB pin. The
relation between the resistor divider network and the output
voltage is show in the following equation:
(eq. 2)
Where k1, k2 is an internal trimmed value; by default,
k1 = 1, k2 = 0, Ramp_slope = 0.5 V/ms, Vramp = 1.5 V,
Voffset = 20 mV.
Light Load Operation
In continuous current conduction mode, the operating
frequency of the NCP1589L is almost constant. In light load,
it runs in a discontinuous current mode with a scaled-down
frequency as a function of the load current. Internal zero
current detection threshold will change adaptively to ensure
