ETA2842
42V Input Standoff Voltage, 1A Step-Down Converter in SOT23-6
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ETA2842 is a wide input range, high-efficiency, and high
frequency DC-to-DC step-down switching regulator,
capable of delivering up to 1A of output current. With a fixed
switching frequency of 650KHz, this current mode PWM
controlled converter allows the use of small external
components, such as ceramic input and output caps, as
well as small inductors.ETA2842 also employs a proprietary
control scheme that switches the device into a power save
mode during light load, thereby extending the range of high
efficiency operation. An OVP function protects the IC itself
and its downstream system against input voltage surges.
With this OVP function, the IC can stand off input voltage as
high as 42V, making it an ideal solution for industrial
applications such as smart meters as well as automotive
applications.
In automotive systems, power comes from the battery, with
its voltage typically between 9V and 24V. Including cold
crank and double battery jump-starts, the minimum input
voltage may be as low as 4V and the maximum up to 36V,
with even higher transient voltages. With these high input
voltages, linear regulators cannot be used for high supply
currents without overheating the regulator. Instead, high
efficiency switching regulators such as ETA2842 must be
used to minimize thermal dissipation.
ETA2842 is available SOT23-6 Packages.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS
Loop Operation
The ETA2842 is a wide input range, high-efficiency, DC-to-DC step-down switching regulator, capable of delivering up to 1A of
output current, integrated with a 400mΩ high side MOSFET. It uses a PWM current-mode control scheme. An error amplifier
integrates error between the FB signal and the internal reference voltage. The output of the integrator is then compared to the
sum of a current-sense signal and the slope compensation ramp. This operation generates a PWM signal that modulates the duty
cycle of the power MOSFETs to achieve regulation for output voltage.
Light Load Operation
Traditionally, a fixed constant frequency PWM DC-DC regulator always switches even when the output load is small. When energy
is shuffling back and forth through the power MOSFETs, power is lost due to the finite RDSONs of the MOSFETs and parasitic
capacitances. At light load, this loss is prominent and efficiency is therefore very low. ETA2842 employs a proprietary control
scheme that improves efficiency in this situation by enabling the device into a power save mode during light load, thereby
extending the range of high efficiency operation.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Setting Output Voltages
Output voltages are set by external resistors. The FB threshold
is
0.8V.
RTOP = RBOTTOM x [(VOUT / 0.8) - 1]
Inductor Selection
The peak-to-peak ripple is limited to 30% of the maximum
output current. This places the peak current far enough
from the minimum overcurrent trip level to ensure reliable
operation while providing enough current ripples for the
current mode converter to operate stably. In this case, for
1A maximum output current, the maximum inductor ripple
current is 300 mA. The inductor size is estimated as
following equation:
LIDEAL=(VIN(MAX)-VOUT)/IRIPPLE*DMIN*(1/FOSC)
Therefore, for VOUT=5V,
The inductor values is calculated to be L = 13μH.
Chose 10μH or 15μH
For VOUT =3.3V,
The inductor values is calculated to be L = 9.2μH.
Chose 10μH
Output Capacitor Selection
1
FC=2∗π√COUT∗L = 8.7Khz
For example, for VOUT=5V, L=15μH, COUT=22μF.
The output capacitor keeps output ripple small and ensures
control-loop stability. The output capacitor must also have low
impedance at the switching frequency. Ceramic, polymer, and
tantalum capacitors are suitable, with ceramic exhibiting the
lowest ESR and high-frequency impedance. Output ripple with a
ceramic output capacitor is approximately as follows:
VRIPPLE = IL(PEAK)[1 / (2π x fOSC x COUT)]
If the capacitor has significant ESR, the output ripple
component due to capacitor ESR is as follows:
VRIPPLE(ESR) = IL(PEAK) x ESR
Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor in a DC-to-DC converter reduces current
peaks drawn from the battery or other input power source and
reduces switching noise in the controller. The impedance of the
input capacitor at the switching frequency should be less than
that of the input source so high-frequency switching currents
do not pass through the input source. The output capacitor
keeps output ripple small and ensures control-loop stability.
