The device operates at a fixed 600KHz switching frequency, and uses a slope compensated current mode architecture. This step-down DC-DC converter voltage, the LP6460A allows the main switch to remain on for more than one switching cycle and increases the duty cycle until it reaches 95%. The duty cycle D of a step-down converter is defined as: can supply up to 2A output current at input voltage range from 3.5V to 16V. It minimizes external component size and optimizes efficiency at the heavy load range. The integrated slope compensation allows the device to remain stable over a 𝐃 = 𝐭 𝐎𝐍 × 𝐟𝐎𝐒𝐂 × 𝟏𝟎𝟎% = 𝐕𝐎𝐔𝐓 × 𝟏𝟎𝟎% 𝐕𝐈𝐍 Where TON is the main switch on time and fOSC is the oscillator frequency. wider range of inductor values so that smaller values (2.2μH Setting the Output Voltage to 10μH) with lower DCR can be used to achieve higher The LP6460A can be externally programmed. Feedback efficiency. The device can be programmed with external resistors R1 and R2 program the output to regulate at a feedback to any voltage, ranging from 0.6V to 12V. It uses voltage higher than 0.6V. Although a larger value will further internal MOSFETs to achieve high efficiency and can reduce quiescent current, it will also increase the impedance generate very low output voltages by using an internal of the feedback node, making it more sensitive to external reference of 0.6V. At dropout, the converter duty cycle noise and interference. For achieving circuit loop stability， increases to 95% and the output voltage tracks the input the R1 must be between 50K and 900K. The LP6460A, voltage minus the low RDS(ON) drop of the P-channel high-side combined with an external feed forward capacitor, delivers MOSFET and the inductor DCR. The internal error amplifier enhanced transient response for extreme pulsed load and compensation provides excellent transient response, load applications. The addition of the feed forward capacitor and line regulation. typically requires a larger output capacitor C2 for stability.

The energy is stored of 2.2μH to 10μH. Low inductance values are physically in the capacitor’s electric field due to the voltage applied. The smaller but require faster switching, which results in some value of output capacitance is generally selected to limit efficiency loss. The inductor value can be derived from the output voltage ripple to the level required by the specification. following equation: Since the ripple current in the output inductor is usually L= determined by L, VOUT and VIN, the series impedance of the VOUT × (VIN − VOUT ) VIN × ∆IL × fOSC capacitor primarily determines the out-put voltage ripple. The Where ΔIL is inductor ripple current. Large value inductors three elements of the capacitor that contribute to its lower ripple current and small value inductors result in high impedance (and output voltage ripple) are equivalent series ripple currents. Choose inductor ripple current approximately resistance (ESR), equivalent series inductance (ESL), and 60% of the maximum load current 2A, or ΔIL=1200mA. capacitance (C). The output voltage droop due to a load transient is dominated by the capacitance of the ceramic Manufacturer’s specifications list both the inductor DC current output capacitor. During a step increase in load current, the rating, which is a thermal limitation, and the peak current ceramic output capacitor alone supplies the load current until rating, which is determined by the saturation characteristics. the loop responds. Within three switching cycles, the loop The inductor should not show any appreciable saturation responds and the inductor current increases to match the load under normal load conditions. Some inductors may meet the current demand. peak and average current ratings yet result in excessive The relationship of the output voltage droop during the three switching cycles to the output losses due to a high DCR. capacitance can be estimated by: Always consider the losses associated with the DCR and its COUT = 3 × ∆ILOAD VDROP × fS effect on the total converter efficiency when selecting an inductor. For optimum voltage-positioning load transients, In many practical designs, to get the required ESR, a choose an inductor with DC series resistance in the 20mΩ to capacitor with much more capacitance than is needed must 100mΩ range. be selected. For continuous or discontinuous inductor current 200mA), or minimal load regulation (but some transient mode operation, the ESR of the COUT needed to limit the overshoot), the resistance should be kept below 100mΩ. ripple to ∆VOUT, V peak-to-peak is: The DC current rating of the inductor should be at least equal ∆VOUT ESR ≤ ∆IL For higher efficiency at heavy loads (above to the maximum load current plus half the ripple current to prevent core saturation (2A + 600mA). Ripple current flowing through a capacitor’s ESR causes power dissipation in the capacitor. This power dissipation causes a temperature increase internal to the capacitor. Excessive temperature can seriously shorten the expected life of a capacitor. Capacitors have ripple current ratings that are dependent on ambient temperature and should not be exceeded. The output capacitor ripple cur-rent is the inductor current, IL, minus the output current, IOUT.
