HT2576S-ADJ

HT2576 3.0 A, 15 V, Step-Down Switching Regulator The HT2576 series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits ideally suited for easy and convenient design of a step–down switching regulator (buck converter). All circuits of this series are capable of driving a 3.0 A load with excellent line and load regulation. These devices are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3 V, 5.0 V, 12 V, 15 V, and an adjustable output version. These regulators were designed to minimize the number of external components to simplify the power supply design. Standard series of inductors optimized for use with the HT2576 are offered by several different inductor manufacturers. Since the HT2576 converter is a switch–mode power supply, its efficiency is significantly higher in comparison with popular three–terminal linear regulators, especially with higher input voltages. In many cases, the power dissipated is so low that no heatsink is required or its size could be reduced dramatically. A standard series of inductors optimized for use with the HT2576 are available from several different manufacturers. This feature greatly simplifies the design of switch–mode power supplies. The HT2576 features include a guaranteed ±4% tolerance on output voltage within specified input voltages and output load conditions, and ±10% on the oscillator frequency (±2% over 0°C to 125°C). External shutdown is included, featuring 80 ㎂ (typical) standby current. The output switch includes cycle–by–cycle current limiting, as well as thermal shutdown for full protection under fault conditions.

The oscillator frequency reduces to approximately 18 kHz in the event of an output short or an overload which causes the regulated output voltage to drop approximately 40% from the nominal output voltage.

This circuit bootstraps the regulator’s ground pin to the negative output voltage, then by grounding the feedback pin, the regulator senses the inverted output voltage and regulates it to −12V. For an input voltage of 12V or more, the maximum available output current in this configuration is approximately 700 mA. At lighter loads, the minimum input voltage required drops to approximately 4.7V. The switch currents in this buck-boost configuration are higher than in the standard buck-mode design, thus lowering the available output current. Also, the start-up input current of the buck-boost converter is higher than the standard buck-mode regulator, and this may overload an input power source with a current limit less than 5A. Using a delayed turn-on or an undervoltage lockout circuit (described in the next section) would allow the input voltage to rise to a high enough level before the switcher would be allowed to turn on. Because of the structural differences between the buck and the buck-boost regulator topologies, the buck regulator design procedure section can not be used to to select the inductor or the output capacitor. The recommended range of inductor values for the buck-boost design is between 68 µH and 220 µH, and the output capacitor values must be larger than what is normally required for buck designs. Low input voltages or high output currents require a large value output capacitor (in the thousands of micro Farads). The peak inductor current, which is the same as the peak switch current, can be calculated from the following formula: Where fosc = 52 kHz. Under normal continuous inductor current operating conditions, the minimum V IN represents the worst case. Select an inductor that is rated for the peak current anticipated. FIGURE 5. Inverting Buck-Boost Develops −12V Also, the maximum voltage appearing across the regulator is the absolute sum of the input and output voltage. For a −12V output, the maximum input voltage for the HT2576 is +28V. NEGATIVE BOOST REGULATOR Another variation on the buck-boost topology is the negative boost configuration. The circuit in Figure 6 accepts an input voltage ranging from −5V to −12V and provides a regulated −12V output. Input voltages greater than −12V will cause the output to rise above −12V, but will not damage the regulator. Typical Load Current 400 mA for VIN = −5.2V 750 mA for VIN = −7V Note: Heat sink may be required. FIGURE 6. Negative Boost Rev. 00 HT2576 Because of the boosting function of this type of regulator, the switch current is relatively high, especially at low input voltages. Output load current limitations are a result of the maximum current rating of the switch. Also, boost regulators can not provide current limiting load protection in the event of a shorted load, so some other means (such as a fuse) may be necessary. UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT In some applications it is desirable to keep the regulator off until the input voltage reaches a certain threshold. An undervoltage lockout circuit which accomplishes this task is shown in Figure 7 while Figure 8 shows the same circuit applied to a buck-boost configuration. These circuits keep the regulator off until the input voltage reaches a predetermined level. VTH =VZ1 + 2VBE(Q1) Note: Complete circuit not shown. FIGURE 7. Undervoltage Lockout for Buck Circuit Note: Complete circuit not shown (see Figure 10). FIGURE 8. Undervoltage Lockout for Buck-Boost Circuit DELAYED STARTUP The ON /OFF pin can be used to provide a delayed startup feature as shown in Figure 9. With an input voltage of 20V and for the part values shown, the circuit provides approximately 10 ms of delay time before the circuit begins switching. Increasing the RC time constant can provide longer delay times. But excessively large RC time constants can cause problems with input voltages that are high in 60 Hz or 120 Hz ripple, by coupling the ripple into the ON /OFF pin. Note: Complete circuit not shown.
