OVERSTRESS CAUTION
Stresses beyond those listed in Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods
may affect reliability. Functional operation of the device at any
conditions beyond those indicated in the Recommended
Operating Conditions section is not implied.
ESD SENSITIVITY CAUTION
This integrated circuit can be damaged if ESD protections are
not considered carefully. SGMICRO recommends that all
integrated circuits be handled with appropriate precautions.
Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures
can cause damage. ESD damage can range from subtle
performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision
integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage
because even small parametric changes could cause the
device not to meet the published specifications.

DESCRIPTION
Bootstrap Input (for N-MOSFET Gate Driver Supply Voltage). Connect this pin to
SW pin with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor. The MOSFET will be turned off if the BOOT
capacitor voltage drops below its BOOT-UVLO level to get the capacitor voltage
refreshed.
Supply Input. Connect VIN to a power source with 4.3V to 60V output voltage
range. Decouple VIN to GND as close as possible to the catch diode anode and
the device with a high frequency, and low ESR ceramic capacitor (X5R or higher
grade is recommended).
Active High Enable Input. Float or pull up to VIN pin to enable, or pull down below
1.12V to disable the device. Input UVLO threshold can be programmed through
using a resistor divider from VIN pin.
Resistor Timing and External Clock. Setting frequency by the external RT resistor
or external SYNC clock, refer to Synchronization to RT/SYNC Pin for more details.
Feedback Pin for Setting the Output Voltage. The SGM61630 regulates the FB pin
to 0.75V. Connect a feedback resistor divider tap to this pin.
SS Pin for Soft-Start Version. Connect an external capacitor (CSS) between this pin
and the GND to set the soft-start time.
PGOOD Pin for Power-Good Version. Open drain output for power-good flag, use
a 10kΩ to 100kΩ pull-up resistor to logic rail or other DC voltage no higher than 5V.
Ground Pin.
Switching Node of the Converter (Source of the Internal MOSFET). Connect it to
the cathode of the external power diode (catch diode), the bootstrap capacitor and
the inductor.
Exposed Pad. It helps cooling the device junction and must be connected to GND
pin for proper operation.
NOTE: I = input, O = output, G = ground, P = power.

SGM61630
60V, 3A Buck Converter with 50μA IQ
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Overview
Enable Input and UVLO Adjustment
The SGM61630 is a 60V Buck converter with
integrated high-side N-MOSFET (140mΩ) power switch
and 3A continuous output current capability. The
minimum operating input voltage of the device is 4.3V.
The quiescent current is 50μA (TYP). When the device
is disabled, the shutdown current reduces to 2μA.
An internal current source pull-up keeps the EN pin
voltage at high state by default. The device will enable
if the EN pin voltage exceeds the enable threshold of
1.17V and VIN exceeds its UVLO threshold. The device
will disable if the EN voltage is externally pulled low or
the VIN pin voltage falls below its UVLO threshold.
The SGM61630 uses peak current mode control with
power-save mode at light loads to achieve high
efficiency. The device is internally compensated, which
reduces design time.
If an application requires a higher VIN UVLO threshold,
an external VIN UVLO adjustment circuit is
recommended in Figure 3. Figure 3 shows how UVLO
and hysteresis are increased using REN1 and REN2. A
3.7μA additional current is injected to the divider when
EN pin voltage exceeds VENH (1.17V TYP) to provide
hysteresis and it will be removed when EN pin voltage
is below VENL (1.12V TYP). Use Equations 1 and 2 to
calculate these resistors. VSTART is the input start
(turn-on) threshold voltage and VSTOP is the input stop
(turn-off) threshold voltage.
The EN pin is internally pulled up by a current source
that can keep the device enable if EN pin is floating. It
can also be used to increase the input UVLO threshold
using a resistor divider.
The bootstrap diode is integrated and only a small
capacitor between BOOT and SW pins (CBOOT) is
needed for the N-MOSFET gate driving bias. A
separate UVLO circuit monitors CBOOT voltage and
turns the high-side switch off if this voltage falls below a
preset threshold.
REN1 =
The switching frequency is adjusted using a resistor to
ground connected to the RT/SYNC pin. It is also can be
synchronized to an external clock signal with 210kHz to
2400kHz.
Over-voltage protection (OVP) circuit is designed to
minimum the output over-voltage transients. When this
comparator detects an OVP (VFB > 110% × VREF), the
switch is kept off until the VFB falls below 107% of the
VREF. The SS pin internal current source allows
soft-start time adjustments with a small external
capacitor. During startup and over-current, the
frequency is reduced (frequency fold-back) to allow
easy maintenance of low inductor current. The thermal
shutdown provides an additional protection in fault
conditions.

Minimum Input Voltage (4.3V) and UVLO
The recommended minimum operating input voltage is
4.3V. It may operate with lower voltages that are above
the VIN rising UVLO threshold (3.85V TYP). If VIN falls
below its falling UVLO threshold, the device will stop
switching.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION (continued)
Switching Frequency and Timing Resistor
(RT/SYNC Pin)
The switching frequency can be set from 200kHz to
2500kHz by a timing resistor (RT) placed between the
RT/SYNC and GND pins. There is an internal bias
voltage (0.5V TYP) on the RT/SYNC pin during the RT
mode and must have a resistor to ground to set the
switching frequency. Use Equation 3 to find the RT
resistance for any desired switching frequency (fSW).
fSW ( kHz ) =17700 × RT ( kΩ )
-0.918
(3)
Synchronization to RT/SYNC Pin
The internal oscillator also can synchronize to an
external logic clock applied to the RT/SYNC pin (see
Figure 4) in the 210kHz to 2400kHz range. The SW
rising edge (switch turn-on) is synchronized with the
SYNC falling edge. The SYNC low and high levels must
be less than 0.3V and more than 2.0V and have a pulse
width larger than 30ns. So when the SYNC source is
removed, the DC resistance seen between the
RT/SYNC and GND pins determines the default
switching frequency (fSYNC).

driver using a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor. X5R or better
dielectric types are recommended. The capacitor must
have a 10V or higher voltage rating. The BOOT
capacitor is refreshed when the high-side switch is off
and the external low-side diode conducts.
The SGM61630 operates at maximum duty cycle when
input voltage is closed to output voltage if the bootstrap
voltage (VBOOT - VSW ) is greater than its UVLO threshold.

When the bootstrap voltage falls below the UVLO
threshold, the high-side switch is turned off, and the
integrated low-side switch is turned on to recharge the
BOOT capacitor. After the recharge, the high-side
switch is turned on again to regulate the output.
External Soft-Start Adjustment
(SGM61630A Only)
The SGM61630A has an external soft-start (SS) pin for
adjustable startup time. It is recommended to add a
soft-start capacitor (CSS) between the SS and GND pins
to set the soft-start time. The internal ISS = 3μA current
charges CSS and provides a linear voltage ramp on the
SS pin. Use Equation 4 to calculate the soft-start time.
t SS (ms) =
CSS (nF) × VREF (V)
ISS (μA)

Power-Good (SGM61630B Only)
The SGM61630B has a power-good (PGOOD) pin for
indicate whether the output voltage in the desired level.
The PGOOD pin is open-drain output that requires 10kΩ
to 100k Ω resistor pulled up to an DC voltage(not
exceeds 5V).
As shown in Figure 5, when the FB voltage is within the
power-good range, the PGOOD switch is turned off and
the PGOOD pin is pulled up to high. When the FB
voltage is outside the power-good range, the PGOOD
switch is turned on and the PGOOD pin is pulled down
to low.

SGM61630
60V, 3A Buck Converter with 50μA IQ
DETAILED DESCRIPTION (continued)
Slope Compensation
Without implementing some slope compensation, the
PWM pulse widths will be unstable and oscillatory at
duty cycles above 50%. To avoid sub-harmonic
oscillations in this device, an internal compensation
ramp is added to the measured switch current before
comparing it with the control signal by the PWM
comparator.
Power-Save Mode
At light loads the SGM61630 enters Pulse-Skipping
Mode (PSM) to keep its high efficiency by lowering the
number of switching pulses. When the peak inductor
current is below PSM current threshold, the
corresponding internal COMP voltage (VCOMP) will be
lower than 410mV. The device will enter PSM in such
conditions. In PSM mode, VCOMP is internally clamped
at 350mV that inhibits the high-side MOSFET switching,
the device draws only 50μA (TYP) input quiescent
current. The device can exit PSM if VCOMP rises above
410mV.
Over-Current Protection and Frequency
Fold-back
Over-current protection (OCP) is naturally provided by
current mode control. In each cycle, the HS current
sensing starts a short time (blanking time) after the HS
switch is turned on. The sensed HS switch current is
continuously compared with the current limit threshold
and when the HS current reaches to that threshold, the
HS switch is turned off. If the output is overloaded, VOUT
drops and VCOMP is increases by EA to compensate that.
However, the EA output (VCOMP) is clamped to a
maximum value.
SG Micro Corp
www.sg-micro.com
The natural OCP of the peak current mode control may
not be able to provide a complete protection when an
output short-circuit occurs and an extra protection
mechanism for short-circuit is needed. During an output
short, inductor current may runaway above
over-current limits because of the high input voltage
and the minimum controllable on-time. During the
output short, the inductor current decreases slowly
because a small negative diode forward voltage
appears across the inductor during the off-time, as a
result the inductor current cannot be reset. In these
conditions, current can saturate the inductor and the
current may even increase higher until the device is
damaged. In the SGM61630, this problem is effectively
solved by increasing the off-time during short-circuit by
reducing the switching frequency (frequency fold-back).
As the output voltage drops and the FB pin voltage falls
from 0.75V to 0V, the frequency will be divided by 1, 2,
4 and 8.
Over-Voltage Transient Protection
When an overload or an output fault condition is
removed, large overshoots may occur on the output.
The SGM61630 includes OVP circuit to reduce such
over-voltage transients. If VFB voltage exceeds 110% of
the VREF threshold, the high-side switch is turned off.
When it returns below 107% of the VREF, the switch is
released again.
Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
If the junction temperature (TJ) exceeds +170℃, the
TSD protection circuit will stop switching to protect the
device from overheating. The device will automatically
restart with a power up sequence when the junction
temperature drops below +150℃.

Switching Frequency Selection
Several parameters such as losses, inductor and
capacitors sizes and response time are considered in
selection of the switching frequency. Higher frequency
increases the switching and gate charge losses and
lower frequency requires larger inductance and
capacitances and results in larger overall physical size
and higher cost. Therefore, a tradeoff is needed
between losses and component size. If the application
is noise-sensitive to a frequency range, the frequency
should be selected out of that range.
For this design, a lower switching frequency of 500kHz
is chosen and a 49.9kΩ resistor can be chosen for R3
according to Equation 3.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
Input Capacitor Design
A high-quality ceramic capacitor (X5R or X7R or better
dielectric grade) must be used for input decoupling of
the SGM61630. At least 3μF of effective capacitance
(after derating) is needed on the VIN input. In some
applications additional bulk capacitance may also be
required for the VIN input, for example, when the
SGM61630 is more than 5cm away from the input
source. The VIN capacitor ripple current rating must also
be greater than the maximum input current ripple. The
input current ripple can be calculated using Equation 5
and the maximum value occurs at 50% duty cycle.
Using the design example values, IOUT = 3A, yields an
RMS input ripple current of 1.5A.

VOUT ( VIN - VOUT )

VIN
For this design, a ceramic capacitor with at least 100V
voltage rating is required to support the maximum input
voltage. So, two 4.7µF/100V capacitors in parallel are
selected for VIN to cover all DC bias, thermal and aging
deratings. The input capacitance determines the
regulator input voltage ripple. This ripple can be
calculated from Equation 6. In this example, the total
effective capacitance of the two 4.7µF/100V capacitors
is around 8µF at 12V input, and the input voltage ripple
is 200mV.

(6)
It recommended to place an additional small size 0.1µF
ceramic capacitor right beside the VIN and GND pins
(anode of the diode) for high frequency filtering.
Inductor Design
Equation 7 is conventionally used to calculate the
output inductance of a Buck converter. Generally, a
smaller inductor is preferred to allow larger bandwidth
and smaller size. The ratio of inductor current ripple (∆IL)
to the maximum output current (IOUT) is represented as
SG Micro Corp
www.sg-micro.com
KIND factor (∆IL/IOUT). The inductor ripple current is
bypassed and filtered by the output capacitor and the
inductor DC current is passed to the output. Inductor
ripple is selected based on a few considerations. The
peak inductor current (IOUT + ∆IL/2) must have a safe
margin from the saturation current of the inductor in the
worst-case conditions especially if a hard-saturation
core type inductor (such as ferrite) is chosen. For peak
current mode converter, selecting an inductor with
saturation current above the switch current limit is
sufficient. The ripple current also affects the selection of
the output capacitor. COUT RMS current rating must be
higher than the inductor RMS ripple. Typically, a 20% to
40% ripple is selected (KIND = 0.2 ~ 0.4). Choosing a
higher KIND value reduces the selected inductance, but
a too high KIND factor may result in insufficient slope
compensation.

In this example, the calculated inductance will be

Equations 8, 9 and 10 respectively.

Note that during startup, load transients or fault

60V, 3A Buck Converter with 50μA IQ
APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
External Diode
An external power diode between the SW and GND
pins is needed for the SGM61630 to complete the
converter. This diode must tolerate the application’s
absolute maximum ratings. The reverse blocking
voltage must be higher than VIN_MAX and its peak
current must be above the maximum inductor current.
Choose a diode with small forward voltage drop for
higher efficiency. Typically, diodes with higher voltage
and current ratings have higher forward voltages. A
diode with a minimum of 60V reverse voltage is
preferred to allow input voltage transients up to the
rated voltage of the SGM61630.
Output Capacitor
Three primary criteria must be considered for design of
the output capacitor (COUT):
1. The converter pole location.
2. The output voltage ripple.
3. The transient response to a large change in load
current.
The selected output capacitor value must satisfy all of
them. The desired transient response is usually
expressed as maximum overshoot, maximum
undershoot, or maximum recovery time of VOUT in
response to a large load step. Transient response is
usually the more stringent criteria in low output voltage
applications. The output capacitor must provide the
increased load current or absorb the excess inductor
current (when the load current steps down) until the
control loop can re-adjust the current of the inductor to
the new load level. Typically, it requires two or more
cycles for the loop to detect the output change and
respond (change the duty cycle). Another requirement
may also be expressed as desired hold-up time in
which the output capacitor must hold the output voltage
above a certain level for a specified period if the input
power is removed. It may also be expressed as the
maximum output voltage drop or rise when the full load
is connected or disconnected (100% load step).
Equation 11 can be used to calculate the minimum
SG Micro Corp
www.sg-micro.com
output capacitance that is needed to supply a current
step (ΔIOUT) for at least 2 cycles until the control loop
responds to the load change with a maximum allowed
output transient of ΔVOUT (overshoot or undershoot).
COUT >
2 × ΔIOUT
fSW × ΔVOUT
(11)
where:
ΔIOUT is the change in output current.
ΔVOUT is the allowable change in the output voltage.
For example, if the acceptable transient from 1.5A to 3A
load step is 5%, by inserting ΔVOUT = 0.05 × 5V = 0.25V
and ΔIOUT = 1.5A, the minimum required capacitance
will be 24μF. Note that the impact of output capacitor
ESR on the transient is not considered in Equation 11.
For ceramic capacitors, the ESR is generally small
enough to ignore its impact on the calculation of ΔVOUT
transient. However, for aluminum electrolytic and
tantalum capacitors, or high current power supplies, the
ESR contribution to ΔVOUT must be considered.
When the load steps down, the excess inductor current
will charge the capacitor and the output voltage will
overshoot. The catch diode current cannot discharge
COUT, so COUT must be large enough as given in
Equation 12 to absorb the excess inductor energy with
limited over-voltage. The excess energy absorbed in
the output capacitor increases the voltage on the
capacitor. The capacitor must be sized to maintain the
desired output voltage during these transient periods.
Equation 12 calculates the minimum capacitance
required to keep the output-voltage overshoot to a
desired value.

For example, if the acceptable transient from 3A to 1.5A

Higher nominal capacitance value must be chosen due
to aging, temperature, and DC bias derating of the
output capacitors. In this example, a 2 × 47μF/25V X5R
ceramic capacitor with 1.5mΩ of ESR is used. The
amount of ripple current that a capacitor can handle
without damage or overheating is limited. The inductor
ripple is bypassed through the output capacitor.
Equation 15 calculates the RMS current that the output
capacitor must support. In this example, it is 265mA.
ICOUT_RMS =
VOUT × ( VIN _ MAX - VOUT )
(15)
UVLO Setting
The VIN UVLO can be programmed using an external
voltage divider on the EN pin of the SGM61630. In this
design R1 is connected between the VIN and EN pins
and R2 is connected between EN and GND (see Figure
6). The UVLO has two thresholds (Hysteresis), one for
power-up (turn-on) when the input voltage is rising and
one for power-down (turn-off) when the voltage is falling.
In this design, the turn-on (enable to start switching)
occurs when VIN rises above 7V (UVLO rising
threshold). When the regulator is working, it will not
stop switching (disabled) until the input voltage falls
below 5.5V (UVLO falling threshold). Equations 1 and 2
are provided to calculate the resistors. For this example,
the nearest standard resistor values are R1 = 310kΩ
and R2 = 61.2kΩ.

voltage using Equation 16.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
Layout Considerations
PCB is an essential element of any switching power
supply. The converter operation can be significantly
disturbed due to the existence of the large and fast
raising/falling voltages that can couple through stray
capacitances to other signal paths, unless those
interferences are minimized and properly managed in
the layout design. Insufficient conductance in copper
traces for the high current paths results in high resistive
losses in the power paths and voltage errors. Following
the guidelines provided here are necessary to design a
good layout:
Bypass VIN pin to GND pin with low-ESR ceramic
capacitors (X5R or X7R or better dielectric) placed
as close as possible to VIN pin and the catch
diode anode pin.
Minimize the area and path length of the loop
formed by VIN pin, bypass capacitors connections,
SW pin and the catch diode.
Connect the device GND pin directly to the thermal
pad copper area under the IC device.
Stitch the thermal pad to the internal ground
planes and the back side of the PCB directly under
the IC using multiple thermal vias.
Use a short and wide path for routing the SW pin
to the cathode of the catch diode on the same
layer and to the output inductor.
Keep the SW area minimal and away from
sensitive signals like FB input and divider resistors
or RT/SYNC to avoid capacitive noise coupling.
Top side GND plane that is connected to the
thermal pad provides the best heat removal path
for the IC. It should be large enough for designs
that operate with full rated loads. Thicker copper
planes can improve heat dissipation.
Place the RT resistor (R3) as close as possible to
the RT/SYNC pin with short routes.
