Description
Features
The FP6791C is a CMOS step-up switching
controller which incorporates a reference voltage
circuit, an oscillator, an error amplifier, a PWM
controller, an under voltage lockout circuit (UVLO)
and a timer latch short-circuit protection circuit.
● Programmed Switching Frequency
● Programmed Maximum Duty Ratio
● Reference Voltage: 1.0V ±1.5%
● UVLO (Under-Voltage Lockout) Function:
▪ Detection Voltage 2.2V
▪ Hysteresis Width 0.3V
● Timer Latch Short-Circuit Protection Circuit: Delay
Time Set by an External Capacitor.
● Internal Soft-Start Function
● External Compensation Network
● Small Package: 8-pin TSSOP
● RoHS Compliant
The switching frequency can be controlled by the
resistor connected to the ROSC pin, and the
maximum duty ratio can be controlled by the resistor
connected to the RDUTY pin.
In addition, the FP6791C provides adjustable
short-circuit protection delay time with an external
capacitor which is connected to the CSP pin. If the
maximum duty condition continues due to
short-circuiting, the capacitor externally connected to
the CSP pin will be charged, and oscillation will stop
after a specific time. This condition will be cleared
by re-application of power. This controller IC allows
various settings and employs a small package, which
make it easy to use.

PWM Voltage Mode Converter
Under Voltage Lockout
The FP6791C is a CMOS step-up converter using a
pulse width modulation method (PWM).
The
maximum duty ratio of FP6791C can be controlled by
the resistor connected to the RDUTY pin. The
converter can operate in both discontinuous
conduction mode (DCM) and continuous conduction
mode (CCM). The FP6791C operation can be best
understood by referring to the block diagram in
Figure 3. The error amplifier monitors the output
voltage via the feedback resistor divider by
comparing the feedback voltage with the reference
voltage. When the feedback voltage is lower than
the reference voltage, the error amplifier output will
increase.
The error amplifier output is then
compared with the oscillator ramp voltage at the
PWM controller. When the error amplifier output
voltage is higher than ramp, the EXT pin turns on the
external transistor, the output voltage will increase,
and vice versa. As the feedback voltage is higher
than the reference voltage, the error amplifier output
will decrease. When the error amplifier output
voltage is lower than ramp, the EXT pin turns off the
external transistor, the output voltage will decrease.
The under voltage lockout (UVLO) comparator has
two voltage references, the start and stop
thresholds.
During power up, the UVLO
comparator stop EXT pin switching and the external
FET is held in the off status until the VIN reaches
UVLO detection voltage. During VIN power down,
the UVLO comparator allows the EXT pin switching
until the UVLO stop threshold is reached. The
UVLO function can prevent the IC form malfunction
due to a transient status when power is applied or a
momentary drop of the power supply voltage.
Soft Start
Compensation
The FP6791C includes internal 20mS (Typ.) soft
start function. The soft start function can minimize
the inrush current. When power is on, a constant
current will charge an internal capacitor. When
power is off, the internal capacitor will be discharge
for next soft start time.
The compensation circuit is designed to guarantee
stability over the full input/output voltage and fill
output load range. The compensation circuit can
prevent excessive output ripple and unstable
operation from deteriorating the efficiency. The
compensation is implemented by connecting RZ and
CZ series network between VSS pin and CC pin.
RZ sets the high frequency gain for a high speed
transient response. CZ sets the pole and zero of
the error amplifier and keeps the system stable.
Adjust RZ and CZ, taking into consideration
conditions such as the inductor, output, and load
current, so that optimum transient characteristics
can be obtained.
Output Voltage Setting
With the FP6791C, the output voltage can be set
value by external divider network. An external
resistor divider is required to divide the output
voltage down to the nominal reference voltage. As
shown in Figure 2, the resistor divider output feeds to
the FB pin, which connects to the inverting input of
the error amplifier. The non-inverting input of the
error amplifier is connected to a 1V (Typ.) reference
voltage. The following equation can be used to
calculate the RFB1 and RFB2 value.

Short Circuit Protection
The short circuit protection function will stop
switching when output voltage drops due to output
short. The capacitor which connected to the CSP
pin is used to set delay time of short circuit
protection.
If the maximum duty condition
continues because of short circuit, the capacitor
externally connected to the CSP pin will be charged,
and EXT pin will stop switching after CSP pin
voltage rises above the reference voltage. Than
FP6791C latches off until input voltage is re-started.

Although small physical size and high efficiency are
major concerns, the inductor should have low core
losses and series resistance (DCR, copper wire
resistance). The minimum inductor value, peak
current rating and series resistance will affect the
converter efficiency, maximum output load
capability, transient response time and output
voltage ripple. The inductor selection depends on
input voltage, output voltage and maximum output
current. Very high inductor minimize the current
ripple and therefore reduce the peak current, which
decreases core losses in the inductor and conduct
losses in the entire power path. However, large
inductor values also require more energy storage
and more turns of wire. The size of inductor will
become bigger and increase conduct losses. Low
inductor values decrease the size but increase the
current ripple and the peak current. Choose the
inductor values based on the application.
In
addition, it is important to ensure the inductor
saturation current exceeds the peak value of
inductor current in application to prevent core
saturation.

addition, the following equation used here assumes

The inductor’s saturation current rating should

Rectifier diode selection
The diode is the largest source of loss in DC-DC
converters. A high speed diode is necessary due to
the high switching frequency. The Schottky diodes
are recommended because of their fast recovery
time and low forward drop voltage for better
efficiency. The forward drop voltage of the Schottky
diode will result in the conduction losses in the diode,
and the diode capacitance will cause the switching
losses. Therefore, it is necessary to consider both
forward voltage drop and diode capacitance for
diode selection. In addition, the reverse voltage
rating of this diode should 1.3 times of the maximum
output voltage. The rectifier diode must meet the
output and peak inductor current requirement.
FP6791C-1.1-FEB-2012
Output Capacitor Selection
The capacitor on the output side (COUT) is used for
sustaining the output voltage when the external
MOSFET or diode is switched on and smoothing the
ripple voltage. Select an appropriate capacitance
value based on the load condition. For lower
output voltage ripple, the low ESR ceramic
capacitor is recommended. The output voltage
ripple consists of two components. One is the
pulsating output ripple current through ESR, and the
other is the capacitive ripple caused by charging
and discharging.

Where ∆VO=output voltage ripple, ∆IL=inductor

The optimal capacitor differs depending on the
inductor value, wiring, and application (output load),
so select the capacitor after performing sufficient
evaluation under the actual usage condition.
Input Capacitor Selection
The capacitor on input side (CIN) can stabilize the
input voltage and minimize peak current ripple form
the power source for better efficiency. The value
of the capacitor depends on the impedance of the
input source used. For better input bypassing, low
ESR ceramic capacitor is recommended for better
performance.
External Switch Transistor
An enhancement N-channel MOSFET or a bipolar
NPN transistor can be used as the external switch
transistor. For high efficiency, it’s ideal to use a
MOSFET with a low RDS-ON and small input
capacitance. It is a more efficient switch than a
bipolar NPN transistor. The RDS-ON and input
capacitance generally share a trade-off relationship.
The RDS-ON is efficient in a range which the output
current is relatively great during low frequency
switching, and the input capacitance is efficient in a
rang which the output current is middling during
high frequency switching.

Applications Information (Continued)
Select a MOSFET whose RDS-ON and input
capacitance are optimal depending on the usage
conditions. The input voltage is supplied for the
gate voltage of the MOSFET, so select a MOSFET
with a gate withstanding voltage that is equal to
maximum usage value of the input voltage or higher
and drain withstanding voltage that is equal to the
output voltage and diode voltage or higher. An
enhancement N-channel MOSFET can be selected
by the following guidelines:

Layout Recommendation
For high frequency switching power supplies, the
device’s performance including efficiency, output
noise, transient response and control loop stability
are dramatically affected by PCB layout.
There are some general guidelines for layout:
2. Low gate threshold voltage.
1. Place the external power components (the input
capacitors, output capacitors, inductor and
diode, etc.) in close proximity to the device.
The traces which connect to these components
should be as short and wide as possible to
minimize parasitic inductance and resistance.
3. Rated continuous drain current should be larger
than the peak inductor current.
2. Place output capacitor next to Schottky diode as
possible.
4. Low gate capacitance.
3. Place input capacitor close to the VIN pin.
1. Low RDS-ON.
If a MOSFET with a threshold near the UVLO
detection voltage is used, a large current may flow
and stop the output voltage from rising and possibly
generating heat in the worst case.
Select a
MOSFET with a threshold that is sufficiently lower
than the UVLO detection voltage value.
Feed-forward Capacitor Selection
The feed-forward capacitor (CF) is used to improve
the performance of internally compensated DC-DC
converter.
To optimize transient response, a
feed-forward capacitor value is chosen such that the
gain and phase of the feedback increases the
bandwidth of the converter, while still maintaining an
acceptable phase margin. In general, capacitor
causes the loop gain to crossover too high in
frequency and the feed-forward capacitor phase
contribution is insufficient, resulting in unacceptable
phase margin or instability. The following process
outlines a step by step procedure for optimizing the
feed-forward capacitor.
4. The input and output capacitors’ ground should
be wide and short enough to connect to a ground
plane.
5. The feedback network should sense the output
voltage directly form the point of load, and be as
far away from noisy loop as possible.
6. The compensation circuit should be away from
the power loops and should be shielded with a
ground trace to prevent noise coupling.
7. Place the resistor close to RDUTY and ROSC
pin.
1. Determine the crossover frequency of converter.
2. Once the crossover frequency is known, the
equation allows calculation of feed-forward capacitor
value which prompts a good compromise between
bandwidth improvement and acceptable phase
margin.
The feed-forward capacitor is selected by the
following formula:
