NCP5212A, NCP5212T
DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION
General
The NCP5212A/NCP5212T synchronous stepdown
power controller contains a PWM controller for wide
battery/adaptor voltage range applications
The NCP5212A/NCP5212T includes power good voltage
monitor, soft−start, overcurrent protection, undervoltage
protection, overvoltage protection and thermal shutdown.
The NCP5212A/NCP5212T features power saving function
which can increase the efficiency at light load. It is ideal for
battery operated systems. The IC is packaged in QFN16.
Control Logic
The internal control logic is powered by VCC. The device
is controlled by an EN pin. The EN pin serves two functions.
When voltage of EN is below VEN_Disable, it shuts down
the device. When the voltage of EN is at the level of
VEN_Master, the device is operating as Master mode. When
voltage level of EN is at VEN_Slave, the device is operating
as Slave mode. It should be noted that no matter the device
is operating either at Master or Slave mode, the device is
operating in the manner of auto power saving condition such
that it operates as skip mode automatically at light load.
When EN is above VEN_Disable, the internal Vref is
activated and power−on reset occurs which resets all the
protection faults. Once Vref reaches its regulation voltage, an
internal signal will wake up the supply undervoltage
monitor which will assert a “GOOD” condition. In addition,
the NCP5212A/NCP5212T continuously monitors VCC and
VIN levels with undervoltage lockout (UVLO) function.

Single Device Operation
The device is operating as single device operation when
the SYNC pin is pull to ground. Under this configuration, the
device will use the internal clock for normal PWM
operation.

Transient Response Enhancement (TRE)
Dual Device Operation (Master/Salve Mode)
For the conventional PWM controller in CCM, the fastest
response time is one switching cycle in the worst case. To
further improve transient response in CCM, a transient
response enhancement circuitry is implemented inside the
NCP5212A/NCP5212T. In CCM operation, the controller is
continuously monitoring the COMP pin output voltage of
the error amplifier to detect the load transient events. The
functional block diagram of TRE is shown below.
The device is operating as Master/Slave mode if two
devices are tied up together. (Detail configuration please see
the application schematic) One device is served as Master
and another one is served as Slave. Once they already, they
are synchronized to each other and they are operating as
“interleaved” mode such that the phase shift of their
switching clocks is 180°. It has the benefit that the amount
of ripple current at the VIN will be lower and hence lesser
bulk capacitors at VIN to save the confined PCB space and
material cost. Figure 15 and Figure 16 show the difference
when the devices are operating independently
(unsynchronized) and operating at interleaved mode
(Synchronized). It can be seen that at the unsynchronized
condition, the system is obviously noisy because of high
ripple voltage at VIN (ripple voltage directly reflects the
amount of ripple current at VIN). Once the devices are
operating at interleaving mode, the overall VIN ripple
current is significantly reduced.

Adaptive Voltage Positioning (AVP)
Once the large transient occurs, the COMP signal may be
large enough to exceed the threshold and then TRE “flag”
signal will be asserted in a short period which is typically
around one normal switching cycle. In this short period, the
controller will be running at high frequency and hence has
faster response. After that the controller comes back to
normal switching frequency operation. We can program the
internal TRE threshold (TRE_TH). For detail please see the
electrical table of “TRE Setting” section. Basically, the
recommend internal TRE threshold value is around 1.5
times of peak−to−peak value of the COMP signal at CCM
operation. The higher the internal TRE_TH, the lower
sensitivity to load transient. The TRE function can be
disable by setting the Rtre which is connecting to DL/TRE
pin to less than 25 kW. For system component saving, it is
usually set as default value, that is, Rtre is open (w75 kW)
and internal TRE_TH is 300 mV typical.
For applications with fast transient currents, adaptive
voltage positioning can reduce peak−to−peak output voltage
deviations due to load transients. With the use of AVP, the
output voltage allows to have some controlled sag when load
current is applied. Upon removal of the load, the output
voltage returns no higher than the original level, just
allowing one output transient peak to be cancelled over a
load step up and release cycle. The amount of AVP is
adjustable.
The behaviors of the Vo waveforms with or without AVP
are depicted at Figure 20.

Figure 21. Configuration for AVP Function
The Figure 21 shows how to realize the AVP function. A
current path is connecting to the FB pin via Rocp resistor.
Rocp is not actually for AVP function, indeed, Rocp is used
for OCP threshold value programming. The IDRP/OCP pin
has dual functions: OCP programming and AVP. At the
IDRP/OCP pin, conceptually there is a current source which
is modulated by current sensing amplifier.
The output voltage Vo with AVP is:
V O + V O0 * I O * R LL
(eq. 1)
Where Io is the load current, no load output voltage Vo0 is
set by the external divider that is:

The load line impendence RLL is given by:

Rs1 ) Rs2
(eq. 3)
Where DCR is inductor DC resistance. Gain_CS is a gain
from [(CS+)−(CS−)] to IDRP Gain (At electrical table, the
symbol is IDRP_GAIN), the typical value is 0.525 mA/mV.
The AVP function can be easily disable by shorting the
Rocp resistor into ground.
From the equation we can see that the value of “top”
resistor Rt can affect the amount of RLL, so it is
recommended to define the amount of RLL FRIST before
defining the compensation component value. And if the user
wants to fine tune the compensation network for optimizing
the transient performance, it is NOT recommend to adjust
the value of Rt. Otherwise, both transient performance and
AVP amount will be affected. The following diagram shows
the typical waveform of AVP. Note that the Rt typical value
should be above 1 kW.

Over Current Protection (OCP)
Rocp
The NCP5212A/NCP5212T protects power system if
over current event occurs. The current is continuously
monitored by the differential current sensing circuit. The
current limit threshold voltage VOCSET can be
programmed by resistor ROCSET connecting at the
IDRP/OCP pin. However, fixed default VOCSET can be
achieved if ROCSET is less than 2 kW.
If the inductor current exceeds the current threshold
continuously, the top gate driver will be turned off cycle by
cycle. If it happens over consecutive 16 clock cycles time
(16 x 1/fSW), the device is latched off such that top and
bottom gate drivers are off. EN resets or power recycle the
device can exit the fault. The following diagram shows the
typical behavior of OCP.

Figure 24. OCP Configuration
It should be noted that there are two configurations for
Rocp resistor. If Adaptor Voltage Position (AVP) is used, the
Rocp should be connected to FB pin. If AVP is not used, the
Rocp should be connected to ground. At the IDRP/OCP pin,
there is a constant current(24 mA typ.) flowing out during the

event occurs.
programming stage at system start up. This is used to sense
the voltage level which is developed by a resistor Rocp so as
to program the overcurrent detection threshold voltage. For
typical application, the Vocth is set as default value(40 mV
typ) by setting Rocp = 0 W, or directly short the IDRP/OCP
pin to ground. It has the benefit of saving one component at
application board. For other programming values of Vocth,
please refer to the electrical table of “Overcurrent Protection
Setting” section.
Guidelines for selecting OCP Trip Component
1. Choose the value of Rocp for Vocth selection.
2. Define the DC value of OCP trip point(IOCP_DC)
that you want. The typical value is 1.5 to 1.8 times
of maximum loading current. For example, if
maximum loading is 10 A, then set OCP trip point
at 15 A to 18 A.
3. Calculate the inductor peak current (Ipk)which is
estimated by the equation:
I pk + I OCP_DC )
V o * (V IN * V o)
2 * V IN * f SW * L o
Top to Bottom : SWN, DL, Vo, PGOOD
Figure 25. Overvoltage Protection
(eq. 4)
Undervoltage Protection (UVP)
4. Check with inductor datasheet to find out the value
of inductor DC resistance DCR, then calculate the
RS1, RS2 dividing factor k based on the equation:
k+
V octh
I pk * DCR
An UVP circuit monitors the VFB voltage to detect under
voltage event. The under voltage limit is 80% (typical) of the
nominal VFB voltage. If the VFB voltage is below this
threshold over consecutive 8 clock cycles, an UV fault is set
and the device is latched off such that both top and bottom
gate drives are off. EN resets or power recycle the device can
exit the fault.
(eq. 5)
5. Select CS value between 100 nF to 200 nF.
Typically, 100 nF will be used.
6. Calculate Rs1 value by the equation:
Rs1 +
L
k * DCR * Cs
(eq. 6)
7. Calculate Rs2 value by the equation:
Rs2 +
k * Rs1
1*k
(eq. 7)
8. Hence, all the current sense components Rs1, Rs2,
Cs had been found for taget IOCP_DC.
9. If Rs2 is not used (open), set k = 1, at that
moment, the Ipk will be restricted by:
I pk +
V octh
DCR
(eq. 8)

Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
Figure 26. Undervoltage Protection
When VFB voltage is above OVPth+ of the nominal VFB
voltage for over 1.5 ms blanking time, an OV fault is set. At
that moment, the top gate drive is turned off and the bottom
gate drive is turned on until the VFB below lower under
voltage (UV) threshold and bottom gate drive is turned on
again whenever VFB goes above upper UV threshold. EN
Thermal Shutdown
The IC will shutdown if the die temperature exceeds
150°C. The IC restarts operation only after the junction
temperature drops below 125°C.
