SC191AEVB

Low Supply Ripple Synchronous Buck Conversion Regulator POWER MANAGEMENT Description The SC191 is a synchronous step-down converter with integrated power devices and an integrated front-end LDO regulator to minimize input supply ripple. If supply ripple is not a concern, the front-end LDO regulator can be bypassed externally to maximize efficiency. The internal MOSFET switches provide peak current greater than 550mA to achieve a DC output of at least 330mA over the rated input voltage range, making the SC191 ideal for single-cell Li-ion battery applications as well as fixed 3.3V and 5V fixed input applications. The output is a fixed 1.2V - ideal for low-voltage microprocessors. Other voltage options are available (consult the factory for details). Additional features include internal soft-start to limit inrush current, over-current protection, over-temperature protection, and over-voltage protection. The 1MHz switching frequency allows the use of small surface mount capacitors and inductors, and no other external compensation components are needed. The device is available in a low profile (0.8mm max height) 2.3mm x 2.3mm MLPD 8-lead package, minimizing area without compromising performance.

The device has an internal synchronous rectifier and does not require a Schottky diode on the LX pin. The device is designed to operate as a buck converter in PWM mode with a fixed-frequency of 1MHz. The SC191 operates as a fixed frequency current mode regulator with the input supply for the switching regulator pre-regulated by a frontend LDO regulator. This technique reduces the supply voltage ripple from 10mV, typically seen from a switching converter, to less than 1mV for the SC191. The supply to the switcher is regulated to the supply voltage minus approximately 300mV. Current feedback for the switching regulator is through the PMOS current path, and it is amplified and summed with the internal slope compensation network and level shifted. The voltage feedback loop is through an internal feedback divider. The on-time is determined by comparing the summed current feedback and the output of the error amplifier. The period is set by the onboard oscillator. Efficiency at moderate to high loads can be improved by shorting the VIN and BP pins together. This bypasses the front-end LDO, reducing voltage drop and improving efficiency at the expense of increasing input supply ripple. Protection Features The SC191 provides the following protection features: • Thermal Shutdown • Current Limit • Over-Voltage Protection • Soft-Start Output Filter The SC191 series of synchronous step-down converters have internal loop compensation. The internal compensation is designed to work with a certain output filter corner frequency defined by the equation: 1 fC = ————— ——— 2 √ L×C The internal compensation is optimized to operate with an output filter, L = 4.7μH and COUT = 10μF. When selecting output filter components the LC product should not vary over a wide range. Current Limit The part has a number of current limit functions. The front-end LDO regulator has a current limit set at approximately 500mA, which will protect it in the event of a pulsed short circuit. The PMOS and NMOS power devices of the buck switcher stage are also protected by current limit functions. In the case of a short to ground on the output, the part enters frequency foldback mode which causes the switching frequency to divide by a factor determined by the output voltage, which prevents the inductor current from “stair stepping”. Over-Voltage Protection Over-voltage protection is provided on the SC191. In the event of an over-voltage on the output, the PWM drive is disabled, tri-stating the LX output and disabling the frontend LDO. Soft-Start The soft-start mode is enabled after every shutdown cycle to limit in-rush current. In conjunction with the frequency foldback this controls the maximum current during startup. The switcher’s PMOS current limit is stepped from 25%, to 50%, to 75%, and then 100% of its typical value by a timer driven by the internal oscillator. The oscillator frequency is stepped by 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and 1 under the control of 4 output voltage thresholds. As soon as the part reaches regulation, soft start mode is disabled. Thermal Shutdown The thermal shutdown feature protects the device from exceeding a junction temperature of 150°C. In thermal shutdown the PWM drive is disabled, the LX output is tristated, and the front-end LDO is disabled. The device will not be enabled again until the temperature reduces by 10°C. If during this time the output falls by greater than 60% of its regulation voltage, a soft-start will be invoked. © 2006 Semtech Corp. 6 www.semtech.com SC191 POWER MANAGEMENT Applications Information (Cont.) Table 1: Output Filter Combinations L (μH) 4.7 4.7 10 COUT (μF) 4.7 10 10 Alternatively, the inductor saturation current should be greater than the switch current limit. Final inductor selection will depend on various design considerations such as efficiency, EMI, size and cost (see Table 2 for a list of practical inductor options). CIN Selection To prevent large input voltage ripple caused by discontinuous source input current, a low ESR ceramic capacitor is required. A minimum value of 4.7μF should be used for sufficient input voltage filtering, and a 10μF capacitor is strongly recommended for optimum input voltage filtering. Input voltage ripple of approximately 1mV can be achieved when CIN = 10μF and the front-end LDO regulator is active and pre-regulating the input supply to the switching regulator. COUT Selection A 10μF ceramic capacitor is recommended for the output filter capacitor. Output voltage ripple is mainly determined by the filter capacitor in the following equation: ΔVOUT(ESR) = ΔIL(ripple) × ESRCOUT X7R or X5R ceramic dielectric capacitors should be used because of their low ESR and superior temperature and voltage characteristics. Y5V ceramic capacitors should be avoided due to their widely-varying temperature coefficients. The selection of smaller inductor and capacitor values will move the corner frequency, having an impact on system stability. Due to this issue the practical lower limit for the inductor value is 4.7μH. Inductor Selection The value of the inductor should be in the range 4.7μH to 10μH. The magnitude of the inductor current ripple is dependant on the inductor value and can be determined by the following equation: VOUT VOUT ΔIL = ——— 1 + ——— L × fOSC VIN ( ) This equation demonstrates the relationship between VIN, VOUT and IL. To minimize conduction losses and maximize efficiency, the inductor should have a low DC resistance. As a minimum requirement, the DC current rating of the inductor should be equal to the maximum load current plus half of the inductor current ripple as described by the following equation: ΔIL IL(PK) = IOUT(MAX) + —— 2 Table 2: Recommended Inductors Manufacturer TDK Sumida Taiyo Yuden Coilcraft Coilcraft Part Number LDR655312T-4R7W CDRH3D16LD LMNP04SB100M LPS3015 LP06610-103M Value (μH) 4.7 4.7 10 10 10 DCR Ω 0.206 0.073 0.066 0.044 0.41 7 Rated Current (A) (40°C rise) 0.9 0.68 0.9 - ISAT (A) L drop 25% 0.65 0.8 Tolerance (± %) 20 30 20 20 20 Dimensions (LxWxH mm) 6.5x5.3x1.2 4x4x1.8 5x5x2 3x3x1.5 6.9x3.8x1.0 www.semtech.com © 2006 Semtech Corp. SC191 POWER MANAGEMENT Applications Information (Cont.)

Poor regulation and instability can result. A few simple design rules can be implemented to ensure good layout: 1) Place the inductor and filter capacitors as close to the device as possible and use short, wide traces between the power components. 2) Route the output voltage feedback path away from in- ductor and LX node to minimize noise and magnetic interference. Use a ground plane to further reduce noise. 3) Maximize ground metal on the component side to improve the return connection and thermal dissipation. Separation between the LX node and GND should be maintained to avoid coupling of switching noise to the ground plane. 4) To further reduce noise interference on sensitive circuit nodes, use a ground plane with several vias connecting all ground planes together.
