DETAILED DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
and low−side MOSFET gate drives to prevent cross
conduction of the power MOSFET’s.
The NCP3020A/B operates as a 300/600 kHz, voltage
mode, pulse width modulated, (PWM) synchronous buck
converter. It drives high−side and low−side N−channel power
MOSFETs. The NCP3020 incorporates an internal boost
circuit consisting of a boost clamp and boost diode to provide
supply voltage for the high side MOSFET gate driver. The
NCP3020 also integrates several protection features including
input undervoltage lockout (UVLO), output undervoltage
(OUV), output overvoltage (OOV), adjustable high−side
current limit (ISET and ILIM), and thermal shutdown (TSD).
The operational transconductance amplifier (OTA)
provides a high gain error signal from Vout which is
compared to the internal 1.5 V pk-pk ramp signal to set the
duty cycle converter using the PWM comparator. The high
side switch is turned on by the positive edge of the clock
cycle going into the PWM comparator and flip flop
following a non-overlap time. The high side switch is turned
off when the PWM comparator output is tripped by the
modulator ramp signal reaching a threshold level
established by the error amplifier. The gate driver stage
incorporates fixed non− overlap time between the high−side
POR and UVLO
The device contains an internal Power On Reset (POR) and
input Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) that inhibits the internal
logic and the output stage from operating until VCC reaches its
respective predefined voltage levels (4.3 V typical).
Startup and Shutdown
Once VCC crosses the UVLO rising threshold the device
begins its startup process. Closed−loop soft−start begins
after a 400 ms delay wherein the boost capacitor is charged,
and the current limit threshold is set. During the 400 ms delay
the OTA output is set to just below the valley voltage of the
internal ramp. This is done to reduce delays and to ensure a
consistent pre−soft−start condition. The device increases the
internal reference from 0 V to 0.6 V in 24 discrete steps
while maintaining closed loop regulation at each step. Each
step contains 64 switching cycles. Some overshoot may be
evident at the start of each step depending on the voltage
loop phase margin and bandwidth. The total soft−start time
is 6.8 ms for the NCP3020A and 4.4 ms for the NCP3020B.

OOV and OUV
the output is considered “undervoltage” and the device will
initiate a restart. When the feedback pin voltage rises
between the reference voltages of comparator 1 and
comparator 2 (0.45 < VFB < 0.75), then the output voltage
is considered “Power Good.” Finally, if the feedback voltage
is greater than comparator 1 (VFB > 0.75 V), the output
voltage is considered “overvoltage,” and the device will
latch off. To clear a latch fault, input voltage must be
recycled. Graphical representation of the OOV and OUV is
shown in Figures 24 and 25.
The output voltage of the buck converter is monitored at
the feedback pin of the output power stage. Two
comparators are placed on the feedback node of the OTA to
monitor the operating window of the feedback voltage as
shown in Figures 22 and 23. All comparator outputs are
ignored during the soft−start sequence as soft−start is
regulated by the OTA and false trips would be generated.
After the soft−start period has ended, if the feedback is
below the reference voltage of comparator 2 (VFB < 0.45 V),

CURRENT LIMIT AND CURRENT LIMIT SET
ILimit block consists of a voltage comparator circuit which
compares the differential voltage across the VCC Pin and the
VSW Pin with a resistor settable voltage reference. The sense
portion of the circuit is only active while the HS MOSFET
is turned ON.

prior to Soft−Start, the DAC counter increments the
reference on the ISET comparator until it crosses the VSET
voltage and holds the DAC reference output to that count
value. This voltage is translated to the ILimit comparator
during the ISense portion of the switching cycle through the
switch cap circuit. See Figure 26. Exceeding the maximum
sense voltage results in no current limit. Steps 0 to 10 result
in an effective current limit of 0 mV.
The ILimit comparator reference is set during the startup
sequence by forcing a typically 13 mA current through the
low side gate drive resistor. The gate drive output will rise
to a voltage level shown in the equation below:
V set + I set * R set
(eq. 1)
Where ISET is 13 mA and RSET is the gate to source resistor
on the low side MOSFET.
This resistor is normally installed to prevent MOSFET
leakage from causing unwanted turn on of the low side
MOSFET. In this case, the resistor is also used to set the
ILimit trip level reference through the ILimit DAC. The Iset
process takes approximately 350 ms to complete prior to
Soft−Start stepping. The scaled voltage level across the ISET
resistor is converted to a 6 bit digital value and stored as the
trip value. The binary ILimit value is scaled and converted to
the analog ILimit reference voltage through a DAC counter.
The DAC has 63 steps in 6.51 mV increments equating to a
maximum sense voltage of 403 mV. During the Iset period
Current Sense Cycle
Figure 27 shows how the current is sampled as it relates
to the switching cycle. Current level 1 in Figure 27
represents a condition that will not cause a fault. Current
level 2 represents a condition that will cause a fault. The
sense circuit is allowed to operate below the 3/4 point of a
given switching cycle. A given switching cycle’s 3/4 Ton
time is defined by the prior cycle’s Ton and is quantized in
10 ns steps. A fault occurs if the sensed MOSFET voltage
exceeds the DAC reference within the 3/4 time window of
the switching cycle.

Soft−Start Current limit
Boost Clamp Functionality
During soft−start the ISET value is doubled to allow for
inrush current to charge the output capacitance. The DAC
reference is set back to its normal value after soft−start has
completed.
The boost circuit requires an external capacitor connected
between the BST and VSW pins to store charge for supplying
the high and low−side gate driver voltage. This clamp circuit
limits the driver voltage to typically 7.5 V when VIN > 9 V,
otherwise this internal regulator is in dropout and typically
VIN − 1.25 V.
The boost circuit regulates the gate driver output voltage
and acts as a switching diode. A simplified diagram of the
boost circuit is shown in Figure 28. While the switch node
is grounded, the sampling circuit samples the voltage at the
boost pin, and regulates the boost capacitor voltage. The
sampling circuit stores the boost voltage while the VSW is
high and the linear regulator output transistor is reversed
biased.
VSW Ringing
The ILimit block can lose accuracy if there is excessive
VSW voltage ringing that extends beyond the 1/2 point of the
high−side transistor on−time. Proper snubber design and
keeping the ratio of ripple current and load current in the
10−30% range can help alleviate this as well.
Current Limit
A current limit trip results in completion of one switching
cycle and subsequently half of another cycle Ton to account
for negative inductor current that might have caused
negative potentials on the output. Subsequently the power
MOSFETs are both turned off and a 4 soft−start time period
wait passes before another soft−start cycle is attempted.

Reduced sampling time occurs at high duty cycles where
the low side MOSFET is off for the majority of the switching
period. Reduced sampling time causes errors in the
regulated voltage on the boost pin. High duty cycle / input
voltage induced sampling errors can result in increased
boost ripple voltage or higher than desired DC boost voltage.
Figure 29 outlines all operating regions.
The recommended operating conditions are shown in
Region 1 (Green) where a 0.1 mF, 25 V ceramic capacitor
can be placed on the boost pin without causing damage to the
device or MOSFETS. Larger boost ripple voltage occurring
over several switching cycles is shown in Region 2 (Yellow).
The boost ripple frequency is dependent on the output
capacitance selected. The ripple voltage will not damage the
device or $12 V gate rated MOSFETs.
Conditions where maximum boost ripple voltage could
damage the device or $12 V gate rated MOSFETs can be
seen in Region 3 (Orange). Placing a boost capacitor that is
no greater than 10X the input capacitance of the high side
MOSFET on the boost pin limits the maximum boost
voltage < 12 V. The typical drive waveforms for Regions 1,
2 and 3 (green, yellow, and orange) regions of Figure 29 are
shown in Figure 30.

The designer should employ a rule of thumb where the
percentage of ripple current in the inductor lies between
10% and 40%. When using ceramic output capacitors the
ripple current can be greater thus a user might select a higher
ripple current, but when using electrolytic capacitors a lower
ripple current will result in lower output ripple. Now,
acceptable values of inductance for a design can be
calculated using Equation 7.
A buck converter produces input voltage (VIN) pulses that
are LC filtered to produce a lower dc output voltage (VOUT).
The output voltage can be changed by modifying the on time
relative to the switching period (T) or switching frequency.
The ratio of high side switch on time to the switching period
is called duty cycle (D). Duty cycle can also be calculated
using VOUT, VIN, the low side switch voltage drop VLSD,
and the High side switch voltage drop VHSD.

The input capacitor has to sustain the ripple current
produced during the on time of the upper MOSFET, so it
must have a low ESR to minimize the losses. The RMS value
of this ripple is:

An inductor for this example would be around 3.3 mH and
should support an rms current of 10.02 A and a peak current
of 11.2 A.
The final selection of an output inductor has both
mechanical and electrical considerations. From a
mechanical perspective, smaller inductor values generally
correspond to smaller physical size. Since the inductor is
often one of the largest components in the regulation system,
a minimum inductor value is particularly important in
space−constrained applications. From an electrical
perspective, the maximum current slew rate through the
output inductor for a buck regulator is given by Equation 10.

The core losses and ac copper losses will depend on the

Most vendors will provide the appropriate information to
make accurate calculations of the power dissipation then the
total inductor losses can be capture buy the equation below:

Ipp is the peak to peak current of the inductor. From this
equation it is clear that the ripple current increases as LOUT
decreases, emphasizing the trade−off between dynamic
response and ripple current.
The power dissipation of an inductor consists of both
copper and core losses. The copper losses can be further
categorized into dc losses and ac losses. A good first order
approximation of the inductor losses can be made using the
DC resistance as they usually contribute to 90% of the losses
of the inductor shown below:

PCIN is the power loss in the input capacitors and ESRCIN

Input Start−up Current
This equation implies that larger inductor values limit the
regulator’s ability to slew current through the output
inductor in response to output load transients. Consequently,
output capacitors must supply the load current until the
inductor current reaches the output load current level. This
results in larger values of output capacitance to maintain
tight output voltage regulation. In contrast, smaller values of
inductance increase the regulator’s maximum achievable
slew rate and decrease the necessary capacitance, at the
expense of higher ripple current. The peak−to−peak ripple
current for the NCP3020A is given by the following
equation:
To calculate the input startup current, the following
equation can be used.

Iinrush is the input current during startup, COUT is the total

fuse should be rated accordingly, if one is used.

Output Capacitor Selection
In a typical converter design, the ESR of the output capacitor
bank dominates the transient response. It should be noted
that DVOUT−DISCHARGE and DVOUT−ESR are out of
phase with each other, and the larger of these two voltages
will determine the maximum deviation of the output voltage
(neglecting the effect of the ESL).
Conversely during a load release, the output voltage can
increase as the energy stored in the inductor dumps into the
output capacitor. The ESR contribution from Equation 18
still applies in addition to the output capacitor charge which
is approximated by the following equation:
The important factors to consider when selecting an
output capacitor is dc voltage rating, ripple current rating,
output ripple voltage requirements, and transient response
requirements.
The output capacitor must be rated to handle the ripple
current at full load with proper derating. The RMS ratings
given in datasheets are generally for lower switching
frequency than used in switch mode power supplies but a
multiplier is usually given for higher frequency operation.
The RMS current for the output capacitor can be calculated
below:

(eq. 17)
The maximum allowable output voltage ripple is a
combination of the ripple current selected, the output
capacitance selected, the equivalent series inductance (ESL)
and ESR.
The main component of the ripple voltage is usually due
to the ESR of the output capacitor and the capacitance
selected.

Power dissipation, package size, and the thermal
environment drive MOSFET selection. To adequately select
the correct MOSFETs, the design must first predict its power
dissipation. Once the dissipation is known, the thermal
impedance can be calculated to prevent the specified
maximum junction temperatures from being exceeded at the
highest ambient temperature.
Power dissipation has two primary contributors:
conduction losses and switching losses. The control or
high−side MOSFET will display both switching and
conduction losses. The synchronous or low−side MOSFET
will exhibit only conduction losses because it switches into
nearly zero voltage. However, the body diode in the
synchronous MOSFET will suffer diode losses during the
non−overlap time of the gate drivers.
Starting with the high−side or control MOSFET, the
power dissipation can be approximated from:

voltage and current.

Ǹ
The second term from Equation 24 is the total switching
loss and can be approximated from the following equations.
A minimum capacitor value is required to sustain the
current during the load transient without discharging it. The
voltage drop due to output capacitor discharge is
approximated by the following equation:
ǒI TRANǓ @ LOUT
(eq. 24)
The first term is the conduction loss of the high−side
MOSFET while it is on.
The output capacitor is a basic component for the fast
response of the power supply. In fact, during load transient,
for the first few microseconds it supplies the current to the
load. The controller immediately recognizes the load
transient and sets the duty cycle to maximum, but the current
slope is limited by the inductor value.
During a load step transient the output voltage initially
drops due to the current variation inside the capacitor and the
ESR (neglecting the effect of the effective series inductance
(ESL)).

a loop gain function with the highest crossing frequency and
adequate phase margin (minimally 45°). The transfer
function of the power stage (the output LC filter) is a double
pole system. The resonance frequency of this filter is
expressed as follows:
Another consideration during MOSFET selection is their
delay times. Turn−on and turn−off times must be short
enough to prevent cross conduction. If not, there will be
conduction from the input through both MOSFETs to

Tantalum and ceramics capacitors have lower ESR than
electrolytic, so the zero of the output LC filter goes to a
higher frequency above the zero crossover frequency. This
requires a Type III compensation network as shown in
Figure 36.
There are two methods to select the zeros and poles of this
compensation network. Method I is ideal for tantalum
output capacitors, which have a higher ESR than ceramic:

The NCP3020/NCV3020 are dedicated for current
sensing across high−side MOSFET via VCC pin and VSW
pin, as shown in Figure 26. Therefore, the VCC pin must
connect to the VIN voltage, i.e., the drain of high−side
MOSFET as shown in Figure 37 above. In other words, the
NCP3020/NCV3020 does not support separated VCC
voltage and VIN voltage, regardless any current limit setting
in LSDR pin. Using a lower VCC voltage than the VIN
voltage, such as VCC=12V and VIN=20V, may damage the
NCP3020/NCV3020. Disconnecting the VCC pin supply,
while VIN is still presented, risks the NCP3020/NCV3020
of being damaged as well.
