Synchronous rectification PWM control step-down switching regulator 1.1 Synchronous rectification The synchronous rectification method lowers voltage drop to greatly reduce power dissipation since an Nch power MOS FET, having resistance much lower than conventional switching regulators, is used. In conventional switching regulators, current flows in the diode connected between the GND and CONT pins when the Pch power MOS FET is off. The forward drop voltage (Vf) of such diodes is large, between 0.3 V to 0.7 V, so the power dissipation used to be very large. Synchronous rectification ultra-low resistance Nch transistors repeat on and off, in synchronization with the operation of the Pch driver, in the reverse cycle of the Pch driver. Moreover, the built-in P and N through prevention circuit helps much reduction of power consumption during operation. 1.2 PWM control The S-8550/8551 Series is a switching regulator using a pulse width modulation method (PWM) and features low current consumption. In conventional PWM control switching regulators, pulses are skipped when the output load current is low, causing a fluctuation in the ripple frequency of the output voltage, resulting in an increase in the ripple voltage. In the S-8550/8551 Series, the switching frequency does not change, although the pulse width changes from 0% to 100% corresponding to each load current. The ripple voltage generated from switching can thus be removed easily using a filter because the switching frequency is constant. 2. Soft-start function The soft-start circuit built in the S-8550/8551 Series controls the rush current and the overshoot of the output voltage when powering on, the ON/OFF pin is switched from the “L” level to the “H” level, or the UVLO operation is released. 3. A reference voltage adjustment method is adopted as the soft-start method. Shutdown pin This pin stops or starts step-up operations. Switching the shutdown pin to the “L” level stops operation of all the internal circuits and reduces the current consumption significantly. pulled down internally. DO NOT use the shutdown pin in a floating state because it is not pulled up or DO NOT apply voltage of between 0.3 V and 0.9 V to the shutdown pin because applying such a voltage increases the current consumption. If the shutdown pin is not used, connect it to the VIN pin.

S-8550/8551 Series Current limit circuit A current limit circuit is built in the S-8550/8551 Series. The current limit circuit monitors the current that flows in the Pch power MOS FET and limits current in order to prevent thermal destruction of the IC due to an overload or magnetic saturation of the inductor. When a current exceeding the current limit detection value flows in the Pch power MOS FET, the current limit circuit operates and turns off the Pch power MOS FET since the current limit detection until one clock of the oscillator ends. The Pch power MOS FET is turned on in the next clock and the current limit circuit resumes current detection operation. If the value of the current that flows in the Pch power MOS FET remains the current limit detection value or more, the current limit circuit functions again and the same operation is repeated. Once the value of the current that flows in the Pch power MOS FET is lowered up to the specified value, the normal operation status restores. A slight overshoot is generated in the output voltage when the current limit is released. The current limit detection value is fixed to 1 A (typ.) in the IC. If the time taken for the current limit to be detected is shorter than the time required for the current limit circuit in the IC to detect, the current value that is actually limited increases. Generally, the voltage difference between the VIN and VOUT pins is large, the current limit detection status is reached faster and the current value increases. 5. 100% duty cycle The S-8550/8551 Series operates up to the maximum duty cycle at 100%. Even when the input voltage is lowered up to the output voltage value set using the external output voltage setting resistor, the Pch power MOS FET is kept on and current can be supplied to the load. The output voltage at this time is the input voltage from which the voltage drop due to the direct resistance of the inductor and the on-resistance of the Pch power MOS FET are subtracted. 6. UVLO function The S-8550/8551 Series includes a UVLO (under-voltage lockout) circuit to prevent the IC from malfunctioning due to a transient status when power is applied or a momentary drop of the supply voltage. When UVLO is in the detection state, the Pch and Nch power MOS FETs stop switching operation, and the CONT pin become Hi-Z. Once the S-8550/8551 is in the UVLO detection status, the soft-start function is reset, but the soft-start operates by the releasing operation of UVLO after that. Note that the other internal circuits operate normally and that the status is different from the power-off status. The hysteresis width is set for the UVLO circuit to prevent a malfunction due to a noise that is generated in the input voltage. A voltage about 150 mV (typ.) higher than the UVLO detection voltage is the release voltage.

Figure 9 shows the basic circuit diagram. A step-down switching regulator starts current supply by the input voltage (VIN) when the Pch power MOS FET is turned on and holds energy in the inductor at the same time. current held in the inductor is released. When the Pch power MOS FET is turned off, the The released current flows in the smoothing circuit, with the energy loss held minimum, supplies the output voltage (VOUT) lower than VIN. switching frequency (fosc) and ON time (ton). VOUT is kept constant by controlling the With the PWM control method, VOUT is made constant by controlling the ON time with fOSC unchanged. I1 L Pch power MOS FET Control circuit VIN Figure 9 1. COUT I2 VOUT Nch power MOS FET Basic Circuit Drawing of Step-down Switching Regulator Continuous mode The following explains how the current flows to the inductor when the step-down operation is constant and stable. When the Pch power MOS FET is turned on, current I1 flows in the direction shown by the arrow in Figure 9, and energy is stored in the inductor (L). When the output capacitor (COUT) is charged, supply of the output current (IOUT) is started at the same time. The inductor current (IL) gradually increases in proportion to the ON time (tON) of the Pch power MOS FET as shown in Figure 10 (changes from IL min. to IL max.). When the Pch power MOS FET is turned off, the Nch power MOS FET is turned on and IL tries to hold IL max. Consequently, current I2 flows in the direction shown by the arrow in Figure 9. reaches IL min. when the OFF time (tOFF) has elapsed. turned off and the next cycle is entered. As a result, IL gradually decreases and When tOFF has elapsed, the Nch power MOS FET is The above sequence is repeated. As explained in the above, the continuous mode refers to the operation in the current cycle in which IL linearly changes from IL min. to IL max. Even if IL min. is less than 0 A, IL min. keeps flowing (backflow current flows). IL IL max.

S-8550/8551 Series Backflow current The S-8550/8551 Series performs PWM synchronous rectification even if IL min. is less than 0 A, so a backflow current is generated in VIN and the backflow current becomes maximum when no load is applied (see Figure 11). Use the following equation to calculate the maximum backflow current value, which should be taken into consideration when designing. Duty (IOUT = 0) = VOUT / VIN Example : VIN = 3.6 V, VOUT = 1.8 V …… Duty = 50% ΔIL = ΔV / L × ton = (VIN − VOUT) × Duty / (L × fOSC) Example : VIN = 3.6 V, VOUT = 1.8 V, fOSC = 1.2 MHz, L = 3.3 μH …… ΔIL = 227 mA IL max. = ΔIL / 2 = 113.5 mA, IL min. = −ΔIL / 2 = −113.5 mA The current value waveform of the inductor is a triangular wave, of which the maximum value is IL max. and the minimum value is IL min. (negative value), and the negative value (the portion marked by diagonal lines in Figure 11) backflows when no load is applied (see Figure 11). If about 113.5 mA of IOUT flows in the above conditions, the minimum value (IL min.) of the triangular wave is made 0 mA and no backflow current flows. When an input capacitor (CIN) is connected, the backflow current is absorbed by CIN, thus reducing the backflow current to flow in the power supply. Be sure to connect an input capacitor to reduce backflow current to the power supply (see Figure 12). The above presents the conditions required to prevent backflow current from flowing, which is only a guideline. Perform sufficient confirmation using an actual application.

Inductor The inductance (L value) has a strong influence on the maximum output current (IOUT) and efficiency (η). The peak current (IPK) increases by decreasing L and the stability of the circuit improves and IOUT increases. If L is decreased further, the current drive capability of the external transistor is insufficient and IOUT decreases. If the L value is increased, the loss due to IPK of the power MOS FET decreases and the efficiency becomes maximum at a certain L value. Further increasing L decreases the efficiency due to the increased loss of the DC resistance of the inductor. The recommended L value for the S-8550/8551 Series is 3.3 μH. When selecting an inductor, note the allowable current of the inductor. If a current exceeding this allowable current flows through the inductor, magnetic saturation occurs, substantially lowering the efficiency. Therefore, select an inductor so that IPK does not exceed the allowable current. IPK is expressed by the following equations in the discontinuous mode and continuous mode. IPK = IOUT + VOUT × (VIN − VOUT) 2 × fOSC × L × VIN fOSC = Oscillation frequency Table 8 Manufacturer Taiyo Yuden Co., Ltd.

CIN lowers the power supply Select CIN according to the impedance of the power supply to be used. The recommended capacitance is 4.7 μF for the S-8550/8551 Series when a general lithium ion rechargeable battery is used.

Output voltage setting resistors (RFB1, RFB2), capacitor for phase compensation (CFB) With the S-8550/8551 Series, VOUT can be set to any value by external divider resistors. resistors across the VOUT and VSS pins. VOUT = (RFB1 + RFB2) RFB2 Connect the divider Because VFB = 0.6 V typ., VOUT can be calculated by this equation. × 0.6 Connect divider resistors RFB1 and RFB2 as close to the IC to minimize effects from of noise. If noise does have an effect, adjust the values of RFB1 and RFB2 so that RFB1 + RFB2 < 100 kΩ. CFB connected in parallel with RFB1 is a capacitor for phase compensation. By setting the zero point (the phase feedback) by adding capacitor CFB to output voltage setting resistor RFB1 in parallel, the feedback loop gains the phase margin. As a result, the stability can be obtained. In principle, to use the portion how much the phase has feed back by the zero point effectively, define CFB referring to the following equation. CFB ≅ 1 2 × π × RFB1 × 70 kHz This equation is the reference. The followings are explanation regarding the proper setting. To use the portion how much the phase has feed back by the zero point effectively, set RFB1 and CFB so that the zero point goes into the higher frequency than the pole frequency of L and COUT. The following equations are the pole frequency of L and COUT and the zero point frequency by CFB and RFB1. fpole ≅ fzero ≅ 1 2×π× L × COUT 1 2 × π × RFB1 × CFB The transient response can be improved by setting the zero point frequency in the range of lower frequency. However, since the gain becomes higher in the range of high frequency, the total phase of feedback loop delays 180° or more by setting the zero point frequency in the significantly lower range. As a result, the gain cannot be 0 dB or lower in the frequency range thus the operation might be unstable. Determine the proper value after the sufficient evaluation under the actual condition.
