PWM/VFM step-down DC/DC converter with Synchronous Rectifier
R1230D Series
s OUTLINE
The R1230D Series are PWM step-down DC/DC Converters with synchronous rectifier, low supply current by CMOS process. Each of these ICs consists of an oscillator, a PWM control circuit, a reference voltage unit, an error amplifier, a soft-start circuit, protection circuits, a protection against miss operation under low voltage (UVLO), PWM/VFM alternative circuit, a chip enable circuit, and a driver transistor. A low ripple, high efficiency step-down DC/DC converter can be easily composed of this IC with only a few kinds of external components, or an inductor and capacitors. (As for R1230D001C/D types, divider resistors are also necessary.) In terms of Output Voltage, it is fixed internally in the R1230DXX1A/B types. While in the R1230D001C/D types, Output Voltage is adjustable with external divider resistors. PWM/VFM alternative circuit is active with Mode Pin of the R1230D Series. Thus, when the load current is small, the operation can be switching into the VFM operation from PWM operation by the logic of MODE pin and the efficiency at small load current can be improved. As protection circuits, Current Limit circuit which limits peak current of Lx at each clock cycle, and Latch type protection circuit which works if the term of Over-current condition keeps on a certain time in PWM mode exist. Latch-type protection circuit works to latch an internal driver with keeping it disable. To release the condition of protection, after disable this IC with a chip enable circuit, enable it again, or restart this IC with power-on or make the supply voltage at UVLO detector threshold level or lower than UVLO.

Standard value of the sum of Divider Resistors, R1+R2 is as much as 100kΩ. Cb value for phase compensation depends on values of L, C, and R1. Refer to the technical notes. If a ceramic capacitor is used as an output capacitor, add 0.2Ω or more resistance to compensate the ESR of the capacitor. When you use these ICs, consider the following issues; q Input same voltage into Power Supply pins, VIN and VDD. Set the same level as AGND and PGND. q W hen you control the CE pin and MODE pin by another power supply, do not make its "H" level more than the voltage level of VIN / VDD pin. q Set external components such as an inductor, CIN, COUT as close as possible to the IC, in particular, minimize the wiring to VIN pin and PGND pin. q At stand by mode, (CE=”L”), the Lx output is Hi-Z, or both P-channel transistor and N-channel transistor of Lx pin turn off. q Use an external capacitor COUT with a capacity of 10µF or more, and with good high frequency characteristics such as tantalum capacitors. q At VFM mode, (MODE=”H”), Latch protection circuit does not operate.

If the mode is switched over into PWM mode from VFM mode during the operation, change the mode at light load current. If the load current us large, output voltage may decline. Reinforce the VIN, PGND, and VOUT lines sufficiently. Large switching current may flow in these lines. If the impedance of VIN and PGND lines is too large, the internal voltage level in this IC may shift caused by the switching current, and the operation might be unstable.
✰ The performance of power source circuits using these ICs extremely depends upon the peripheral circuits. Pay attention in the selection of the peripheral circuits. In particular, design the peripheral circuits in a way that the values such as voltage, current, and power of each component, PCB patterns and the IC do not exceed their respected rated values.
s OPERATION of step-down DC/DC converter and Output Current
The step-down DC/DC converter charges energy in the inductor when Lx transistor is ON, and discharges the energy from the inductor when Lx transistor is OFF and controls with less energy loss, so that a lower output voltage than the input voltage is obtained. The operation will be explained with reference to the following diagrams:
i1 IOUT VIN Pch Tr Nch Tr L i2 CL VOUT
ILmax ILmin topen
ton T=1/fosc
toff
Step 1: Step 2: Step 3:
P-channel Tr. turns on and current IL (=i1) flows, and energy is charged into CL. At this moment, IL increases from ILmin(=0) to reach ILmax in proportion to the on-time period(ton) of P-channel Tr. When P-channel Tr. turns off, Synchronous rectifier N-channel Tr. turns on in order that L maintains IL at ILmax, and current IL (=i2) flows. IL (=i2) decreases gradually and reaches IL=ILmin=0 after a time period of topen, and N-channel Tr. turns off. Provided that in the continuous mode, next cycle starts before IL becomes to 0 because toff time is not enough. In this case, IL value increases from this ILmin(>0).
In the case of PWM control system, the output voltage is maintained by controlling the on-time period (ton), with the oscillator frequency (fosc) being maintained constant. q Discontinuous Conduction Mode and Continuous Conduction Mode The maximum value (ILmax) and the minimum value (ILmin) of the current flowing through the inductor are the same as those when P-channel Tr. turns on and off. The difference between ILmax and ILmin, which is represented by ∆I; ∆I = ILmax – ILmin = VOUT × topen / L = (VIN-VOUT)×ton/L⋅⋅⋅Equation 1 Wherein T=1/fosc=ton+toff duty (%)=ton/T×100=ton×fosc×100 topen ≤ toff In Equation 1, VOUT×topen/L and (VIN-VOUT)×ton/L respectively show the change of the current at “ON”, and the change of the current at “OFF”. When the output current (IOUT) is relatively small, topen0). The former mode is referred to as the discontinuous mode and the latter mode is referred to as continuous mode. In the continuous mode, when Equation 1 is solved for ton and assumed that the solution is tonc, Rev. 1.12 -9-
