NR111E

31 V, Buck Converter NR110E Series Data Sheet Description Package The NR110E series are buck converter ICs that integrate the power MOSFET. With the current mode control, ultra low ESR capacitors such as ceramic capacitors can be used. The ICs have protection functions such as Overcurrent Protection (OCP), Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) and Thermal Shutdown (TSD). An adjustable Soft-start by an external capacitor prevents the excessive inrush current in startup. The feature increasing efficiency at light loads allows the device to be used in the energy-saving applications. The ICs integrate phase compensation circuit which reduces the number of external components and simplifies the design of customer application. The IC has the enable function by the EN pin that turns the regulator on or off. The package of NR110E series is the eSOIC8 with an exposed thermal pad on the back side. eSOIC8 Features Selection Guide ● Bare Lead Frame: Pb-free (RoHS Compliant) ● Up to 94% Efficiency Up to 68% Efficiency at Maximum at Light Load (VIN = 12 V, VO = 5 V, IO = 20 mA) ● Current mode PWM control ● Stable with Low ESR Ceramic Output Capacitors ● No External Components Required by Incorporating Phase Compensation ● Soft-start Function Adjustable Soft-start time with an External Capacitor ● Enable Function ● Protection Functions: Overcurrent Protection (OCP): Drooping, auto-restart Thermal Shutdown (TSD): Auto-restart Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) ● Specifications Input Voltage, VIN: 6.5 V to 31 V Output Voltage, VO: 0.8 V to 24 V 1 8 2 7 3 6 4 5 Not to scale Part Number IOUT (max.) fOSC (typ.)

The high-side switching MOSFET, M1, is for supplying output power. At startup of IC, the SW pin becomes low status during short time to charge the boost capacitor, C3, for M1 driving. When M1 is on-status, the coil current is increased by applying the voltage the SW pin and the coil. In addition, the output of the current sense amplifier also increases. Signal A is sum of the current sense amplifier output and slope compensation signal. The comparator compares the signal A with the error amplifier output. When the signal A exceeds the output voltage of the error amplifier (Error Amp.), the current comparator output becomes “H” and the RS flip-flop circuit in PWM logic is reset. Then, M1 turns off, and the regenerative current flows through the Schottky diode, D1. The set signal is generated in each cycle, and set the RS flip-flop circuit. If the signal A does not exceed the output voltage of the error amplifier (Error Amp.), the signal of off duty circuit sets RS flip-flop circuit. 11. Operational Description 11.1. PWM Output Control The IC consists of total three blocks; two feedback loop systems (current control and voltage control) and one slope compensation. For the voltage control feedback, divided output voltage by resistor is input to the FB pin. The internal error amplifier compares the FB pin voltage with the reference voltage VREF = 0.8V. For the current control feedback, the loop makes the coil current feedback to the PWM control. The coil current that is branched by using sense MOSFET is detected by the current sense amplifier. In addition, the slope compensation is made for current control slope in order to prevent subharmonic oscillations. The PWM control with current control method is achieved by calculating the voltage control feedback, the current control feedback and the slope compensation signals. (See Figure 11-1.) When UVLO is released or the EN pin or the SS pin voltage exceeds the threshold, the IC starts the switching operation.

When capacitor, CSS, is connected to the SS pin, the IC operates in soft start at startup. The output voltage, VO, increases depending on the charged voltage of CSS. Delay time, tDELAY is calculated by Equation (1). Soft start time, tSS is calculated by Equation (2). If the soft start function is unused, the SS pin is unconnected (open status). t DLAY = CSS × t SS = CSS × 0.9 (V) ISS (1) (2) Figure 11-4. 5 IEN/SS = 10 μA SS 8 ×0.9 VREF = 0.8 V Error Amp. t= Figure 11-2. CSS Discharge Time vs. CSS Capacitance In case the CSS is short circuit status or the CSS value is set too small, the output capacitor is charged by the output current that is limited by overcurrent protection threshold current, Is. In the case, the time constant is calculated by Equation (3). This time constant is in no load status. When the circuit has some load, the load current is subtracted from Is.

IO = IP − ∆IL 2 (6) In the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), output current, IO, is calculated as follows: Enable Function Disabled 11.4. Overcurrent Protection The IC has an overcurrent protection (OCP) circuit. The OCP circuit detects the peak current of the switching transistor. When the peak current exceeds the setting current, the IC limits the current by forcibly shortening the on-time of transistor and decreasing the output voltage (see Figure 11-7). When the overcurrent state is released, the output voltage automatically returns. IO < ∆IL 2 IO = L × VIN × f ×I 2 2 × VO × (VIN − VO ) P (7) (8) 1 = × IP 2 2 × ∆IL Output Voltage 11.5. Thermal Shutdown Output Current Figure 11-7. Output Voltage Characteristics at Overcurrent The output current, IO, can be calculated using the OCP operation current, IP as shown in Equation (6) or Equation (8). When the on-duty is 50% or less, the inductance, L, is recommended to be the value that ΔIL is 0.3 A to 1.2 A. You must set the inductance that satisfies output current, IO, from the specifications (input voltage and output voltage) and IP. The thermal shutdown (TSD) circuit detects the junction temperature of the IC. When the junction temperature exceeds about 160 °C, TSD circuit is activated and stops the switching of the output transistor. Then, the output voltage decreases. When the junction temperature decreases about 20 °C from the TSD circuit activation temperature, the output voltage automatically returns. The TSD circuit protects from the heat generation for short time such as momentary short circuit. The operation and the reliabilities of the IC are not guaranteed under the continuous heat generation conditions such as short circuit for a long time. Output Voltage The ripple current of the choke coil, ΔIL, is calculated as follows: ∆IL = (VIN − VO ) × VO L × VIN × f TSD release temperature TSD activation temperature (4) where, VIN is input voltage, VO is output voltage, L is inductance the choke coil, and f is switching frequency.

Inductance Selection Range in f = 30 kHz R6 GND GND Figure 12-1. The IC Peripheral Circuit ΔIL is the ripple current of the choke coil. ILP is the peak current of the choke coil. ΔIL and ILP are calculated by following equations. ∆IL = (VIN − VO ) × VO L × VIN × f ILP = ∆IL × IOUT 2 12.1.1. Choke Coil, L1 The choke coil, L1, is the most important component in chopper type switching regulators. In order to keep the stabilized regulator operation, the coil must be avoided the unsafe operation including the saturation condition or the over-heat excessively. If the winding resistance of the choke coil is too high, the efficiency decreases and may not be the setting value. The overcurrent protection threshold of NR111E is 5.5 A (Typ.). The overcurrent protection threshold of NR119E is 2.8 A (Typ.). You must consider about the self-heating of the choke coil at the status including overload and the momentary short circuit. The selection points of the choke coil are as follows: (9) (10) As above equations, ΔIL and ILP increase according to decreasing the inductance, L. Thus, too small inductance setting may cause the unstable operation of the switching regulator because the coil current ripple becomes large. You must consider that the inductance of the choke coil decreases in the magnetic saturation condition such as overload and short circuit of load. Large inductance Small inductance ● Select choke coil for switching regulator. It is not recommended to use the coil for noise filter, since its power dissipation becomes high and causes high heat generation. ● Avoid a sub-harmonic oscillations. The current control that detects peak current may cause a sub-harmonic oscillation theoretically in the condition that the on-duty is over 50%. In the sub-harmonic oscillation, coil current is changed by the integer multiple of switching frequency. Thus, the IC compensates the coil current in internal to operate stably. Therefore, the inductance must be selected properly according to output voltage. Figure 12-2 shows the inductance selection range to avoid a sub-harmonic oscillation in the on-duty over 50%. The value in Figure 12-2 is reference value, since the maximum inductance is changed by some Figure 12-3. Ripple Current of Choke Coil ● Fulfill the rated current. The rated current value of the choke coil must be set larger than the maximum load current, which is used. If the load current exceeds to the rated current value of the coil, the inductance of the coil decreaes rapidly and large current flows. NR110E-DSE Rev.1.8 SANKEN ELCTRIC CO., LTD. Jun. 19, 2022 https://www.sanken-ele.co.jp/en © SANKEN ELECTRIC CO., LTD. 2012 16 NR110E Series ● Select the low noise type. The open magnetic circuit type core like a drum type may generate noise in peripheral circuit due to the magnetic flux passing outside of coil. It is recommended to use the Coils of closed magnetic circuit type core such as toroidal type, EI type and EE type. 12.1.2. Input Capacitor, CIN The input capacitor, CIN, shows C1 and C2. CIN is the bypass capacitor of input circuit. It supplies the current of short pulses to the regulator during switching and compensates the input voltage drop. Thus, CIN should be placed as close the IC as possible. Even if the rectifying capacitor of an AC/DC convertor circuit is in input circuit, CIN is required when the rectifying capacitor is not placed near the IC. Since large ripple current flows through CIN, CIN must be used the capacitor for the switching regulator, which is for high frequency and has low impedance characteristics. The selection points of CIN are as follows: ● Fulfill the breakdown voltage rating. ● Fulfill sufficient allowable ripple current rating. IIN 2 VIN IN Ripple current CIN Figure 12-4. GND 4 Current Flow of Input Capacitor IIN 0 IV IP tON current, or you does not consider derating for these rating, the following problem may be occurred. Thus, you must consider derating for breakdown voltage and the allowable ripple current. ● The capacitor life time short (burst, capacitance decreasing, equivalent impedance increasing, etc.) ● The unstable switching operation of the IC. The ripple current of CIN increases depending on the load current. The effective value of the ripple current, IINR(RMS), is calculated by Equation (11). IINR(RMS) ≈ 1.2 × VO × IO VIN (11) If VIN is 20 V, IO is 3 A, VO is 5 V, IINR(RMS) ≈ 1.2 × 5 (V) × 3 (A) = 0.9 (A) 20 (V) In the case, you must select the capacitor that the allowable ripple current is more than 0.9 A. 12.1.3. Output Capacitor, COUT The output capacitor, COUT, shows C4 and C5. In the current control method, the feedback loop which detects the inductor current is added to the voltage control method. The stable operation is achieved without considering the effect of the secondary delay factor of LC filter. Thus, the capacitance of the capacitor of the LC filter can be reduced. The IC can achieve the stable operation using the low ESR capacitor (ceramic capacitor). The COUT is the rectifying capacitor of switching output, and composes the LC low-pass filter with choke coil, L1. The current that is same of the ripple current of choke coil, ΔIL, flows through COUT. Therefore, you must consider derating for breakdown voltage and the allowable ripple current (See Section 12.1.2 Input Capacitor). Since large ripple current flows through COUT, COUT must be used the capacitor for the switching regulator, which is for high frequency and has low impedance characteristics. If the impedance of COUT is high, the IC may be occurred unstable switching operation in low temperature environment. T Figure 12-5.

Thus, you should check the ESR at the actual used temperature. The ESR characteristic is shown in each capacitor maker. Current Flow of Output Capacitor IO ∆IL 0 Figure 12-7. Current Waveform of Output Capacitor The ripple current of COUT is same with the ripple current of the choke coil, and does not depend on the load current. Thus, the effective value of the ripple current, IOR(RMS), is calculated by Equation (12). IOR(RMS) = ∆IL (14) In the case, you must select the capacitor that the ESR is less than 80 mΩ COUT Figure 12-6. VRIP 40(mV) = = 80 (mΩ) ∆IL 0.5 (A) 12.1.4. Freewheel Diode, D1 Flywheel diode, D1, is for discharging energy that is charged choke coil in off-status. External flywheel diode, D1, improves efficiency, and must be used a Schottky-barrier diode. If the fast recovery diode is used, the IC may be damaged by the reverse voltage that is caused by the surge at turn-on or the forward voltage in on-status. Since the output voltage of the SW pin (3 pin) is nearly same with input voltage, the reverse breakdown voltage of D1 is required more than the input voltage. You must not use ferrite beads for the flywheel diode. (12) 2√3 If ΔIL is 0.5 A, IOR(RMS) = 0.5 (A) 2√3 ≈ 0.14 (A) In the case, you must select the capacitor that the allowable ripple current is more than 0.14 A. The output ripple voltage of the IC, VRIP, is calculated by Equation (13). VRIP = ∆IL × COUT ESR (13) Where, ΔIL is the ripple current of the choke coil (same of the ripple current of COUT), and COUTESR is the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of COUT. From Equation (13), you should set the low ESR capacitor in order to reduce the output ripple voltage. In same family of the electrolytic capacitor, the larger capacitance in same the rating voltage, or the higher rating voltage (the larger package size) in same capacitance is, the lower the ESR generally becomes. If ΔIL is 0.5 A, VRIP is 40 mV, NR110E-DSE Rev.1.8 SANKEN ELCTRIC CO., LTD. Jun. 19, 2022 https://www.sanken-ele.co.jp/en © SANKEN ELECTRIC CO., LTD. 2012 18 12.1.5. Output Voltage, VO, and Output Capacitor The output capacitor determines according to the output voltage VO. In each voltage, Table 12-1 shows the capacitance that the IC can operate stable. The values are reference. The ESR of the electrolytic capacitor is about 100 mΩ. See Section 12.1.1 about the inductance, L, setting. Table 12-1.

Since the efficiency determines from the input voltage and output current, it shall be obtained from the efficiency curve and substituted in percent. The heat release setting of the freewheel diode is required separately. The phase characteristics of a chopper type regulator are the synthesis of follows. The internal phase characteristics of a regulator IC, the output capacitor, and the load resistance. Internal phase characteristics of a regulator IC are generally determined by the delay time of control block and the phase characteristics of the output error amplifier. Therefore, the phase delay due to the delay time of the control block rarely causes problems in actual use. The IC has phase compensation for output error amplifier. See Section 12.1.5 about the output voltage setting and the output current setting for stable operation. 12.2.2. Spike Noise Reduction This section shows how to reduce spike noises. Extra attentions should be paid when you measure spike noises using an oscilloscope. The ground lead of a probe should be as short as possible, and should be connected to root of output capacitor. When the ground lead is long, the noises may be measured larger than actual noises because the ground lead becomes an antenna. ● Add a resistance to the BS pin in series. When the resister, R3, is added between the BS pin and SW pin as shown in Figure 12-9, the turn-on switching speed of the internal power MOSFET becomes slow. The spike noises is reduced according to decreasing switching speed. The maximum value of R3 is 22 Ω. NR110E-DSE Rev.1.8 SANKEN ELCTRIC CO., LTD.

The IC is damaged by self-heating due to decreasing the gate voltage of internal power MOSFET. In the area, bead cores must not be used.

BS pin peripheral circuit ● Add a snubber circuit. When an RC snubber (a resistor and a capacitor) is added to the SW pin as shown in Figure 12-10, the spike noises are reduced because the slopes of output waveform and the recovery current waveform of the diode become shallow. Note that the efficiency is decreased as the swiching loss of the internal power MOSFET increases. When the IN pin voltage becomes higher than the SW pin voltage (battery charger application, etc.), the diode for reverse bias protection must be connected between the IN pin and SW pin as shown in Figure 12-12.

When the IN pin voltage becomes higher than the SW pin voltage SW pin peripheral circuit ● Note when you add bead cores Bead cores incruding ferrite beads must not be used in the broken line in Figure 12-11. When you layouts the PCB trace of the switching regurator, the parasitic inductance of PCB trace should be as small as possible. If bead cores are added, the the inductance of the bead cores is added to the parasitic inductance of PCB trace. It may causes the malfunction or break of the IC by the unstable status including negative potential grounding due to surge voltage. The noise reduction method should be chosen from above method (add the BS pin resistor or the snubber ciecuit). NR110E-DSE Rev.1.8 SANKEN ELCTRIC CO., LTD.

Large Current Trace Since large current flows through the bold line in Figure 12-13, these PCB traces must be as wide and small loop as possible. The output voltage is set by the resisters connected to the FB pin (R4, R5 and R6). The minimum current flowing through the FB pin, IFB, should be set about 0.2 mA. The maximum value of IFB should be set considering about the efficiency. The output voltage, VO, and the value of R4, R5 and R6 are calculated by the following equations. IFB = R1 VFB R6 (16) NR110E R3 1 BS SS 8 2 IN EN 7 where, VFB is 0.8 V ± 2%.

Even if the rectifying capacitor of an AC/DC convertor circuit is in input circuit, input capacitors are required when the rectifying capacitor is not placed near the IC. The traces of these capacitors are drawn wide (see Figure 12-14-(a), Proper Trace) (19) If the output voltage is set to 0.8 V that is same voltage with VFB, R6 should be connected to operate stable. The relationship between input voltage and output voltage is determined by the on-time of the SW pin. The on-time is recommended to set to more than 200 ns. The traces connected to the FB pin and the R4, R5, R6 must not be placed in parallel with the trace connected to the freewheel diode, because switching noise affects to the feedback detection voltage, and may occur unstable operations. Especially, the trace between FB pin and R6 must be as short as possible. SW Figure 12-14. VFB + VFB R6 Large Current Line 12.3.2.
