FP6396
High Efficiency 1.5MHz 1.2A
Synchronous Step Down Converter
Description
Features
The FP6396 is a high efficiency, high frequency
synchronous DC-DC step-down converter. The
100% duty cycle feature provides low dropout
operation, extending battery life in portable systems.
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency
and eliminates the need for external Schottky diode.
At shutdown mode, the input supply current is less
than 1µA.
The FP6396 fault protection includes over current
protection, short circuit protection, UVLO and
thermal shutdown. The Internal soft-start function
prevents inrush current at turn-on.
The FP6396 is offered in SOT-23-5 and SOT-23-6
Packages.

FP6396
Function Description
The FP6396 is a high efficiency, internal
compensation and constant frequency current mode
step-down synchronous DC/DC converter. It has
integrated high-side (340mΩ, typ.) and low-side
(210mΩ, typ.) power switches, and provides 1.2A
continuous load current. It regulates input voltage
from 2.5V to 6V, and down to an output voltage as
low as 0.6V.
Enable
The FP6396 EN pin provides digital control to turn
on/off the regulator. When the voltage of EN exceeds
the threshold voltage, the regulator will start the soft
start function. If the EN pin voltage is below the
shutdown threshold voltage, the regulator will turn
into the shutdown mode and the shutdown current
will be smaller than 1μA. For auto start-up operation,
connect EN to VIN.
Over Current Protection
The FP6396 over current protection function is
implemented by using cycle-by-cycle current limit
architecture. The inductor current is monitored by
measuring the high-side MOSFET series sense
resistor voltage. When the load current increases,
the inductor current will also increase. When the
peak inductor current reaches the current limit
threshold, the output voltage will start to drop. When
the over current condition is removed, the output
voltage will return to the regulated value.
Short Circuit Protection
The FP6396 employs internal soft start function to
reduce input inrush current during start up. The
internal soft start time will be 1ms.
The FP6396 provides short circuit protection
function to prevent the device damaged from short
condition. When the short condition occurs and the
feedback voltage drops lower than 40% of the
regulation level, the oscillator frequency will be
reduced and hiccup mode will be triggered to
prevent the FP6396 from overheating during the
extended short condition. Once the short condition
is removed, the frequency and current limit will
return to normal.
Under Voltage Lockout
Over Temperature Protection
When the FP6396 is power on, the internal circuits
will be held inactive until VIN voltage exceeds the
UVLO threshold voltage. And the regulator will be
disabled when VIN is below the UVLO threshold
voltage. The hysteretic of the UVLO comparator is
200mV (typ).
The FP6396 incorporates an over temperature
protection circuit to protect itself from overheating.
When the junction temperature exceeds the thermal
shutdown threshold temperature, the regulator will
be shutdown. And the hysteretic of the over
temperature protection is 30°C (typ).
PG Signal Output
Input Over Voltage Protection
PG pin is an open-drain output and requires a pull up
resistor. PG is actively held low in soft-start, standby
and shutdown. It is released when the output voltage
rises above 90% of nominal regulation point.
The FP6396 supports input over voltage protection.
When input voltage exceeds the input over Voltage
threshold, the regulator will be shutdown unless the
input over voltage is removed.

Output Voltage Setting
The output voltage VOUT is set by using a resistive
divider from the output to FB. The FB pin regulated
voltage is 0.6V. Thus the output voltage is:

A low ESR capacitor is required to keep the noise
minimum. Ceramic capacitors are better, but
tantalum or low ESR electrolytic capacitors may
also suffice.
The output capacitor is used to keep the DC output
voltage and supply the load transient current.
When operating in constant current mode, the
output ripple is determined by four components:

The following figures show the form of the ripple

Place resistors R1 and R2 close to FB pin to prevent
stray pickup.
Input Capacitor Selection
The use of the input capacitor is filtering the input
voltage ripple and the MOSFETS switching spike
voltage. Because the input current to the step-down
converter is discontinuous, the input capacitor is
required to supply the current to the converter to
keep the DC input voltage. The capacitor voltage
rating should be 1.25 to 1.5 times greater than the
maximum input voltage. The input capacitor ripple
current RMS value is calculated as:

It is important to use the proper method to eliminate
high frequency noise when measuring the output
ripple. The figure shows how to locate the probe
across the capacitor when measuring output ripple.
Remove the scope probe plastic jacket in order to
expose the ground at the tip of the probe. It gives a
very short connection from the probe ground to the
capacitor and eliminates noise.

To guarantee sufficient output current, peak inductor
current must be lower than the FP6396 high-side
MOSFET current limit. The peak inductor current is
shown as below:

Load Current
The output inductor is used for storing energy and
filtering output ripple current. But the trade-off
condition often happens between maximum energy
storage and the physical size of the inductor. The
first consideration for selecting the output inductor is
to make sure that the inductance is large enough to
keep the converter in the continuous current mode.
5
A good compromise value between size and
efficiency is to set the peak-to-peak inductor ripple
current Δ L equal to 30% of the maximum load
current. But setting the peak-to-peak inductor ripple
current Δ L between 20%~50% of the maximum
load current is also acceptable. Then the inductance
can be calculated with the following equation:

Feedforward Capacitor Selection
PCB Layout Recommendation
Internal compensation function allows users saving
time in design and saving cost by reducing the
number of external components. The use of a
feedforward capacitor C6 in the feedback network is
recommended to improve transient response or
higher phase margin.
The device’s performance and stability are
dramatically affected by PCB layout. It is
recommended to follow these general guidelines
shown as below:
VOUT
R1
FP6396
C3
FB
R2
1. Place the input capacitors and output capacitors
as close to the device as possible. The traces
which connect to these capacitors should be as
short and wide as possible to minimize parasitic
inductance and resistance.
2. Place feedback resistors close to the FB pin.
3. Keep the sensitive signal (FB) away from the
switching signal (LX).
4. Multi-layer PCB design is recommended.

For optimizing the feedforward capacitor, knowing
the cross frequency is the first thing. The cross
frequency (or the converter bandwidth) can be
determined by using a network analyzer. When
getting the cross frequency with no feedforward
capacitor identified, the value of feedforward
capacitor C6 can be calculated with the following
equation:
C2
GND
R2
Figure 17. Recommended Layout Diagram
Where FCROSS is the cross frequency.
To reduce transient ripple, the feedforward capacitor
value can be increased to push the cross frequency
to higher region. Although this can improve transient
response, it also decreases phase margin and
causes more ringing. In the other hand, if more
phase margin is desired, the feedforward capacitor
value can be decreased to push the cross frequency
to lower region. In general, the feedforward capacitor
range is between 10pF to 330pF.
