micrel, inc. mic26950 july 2011 14 m9999-070111-c functional description the mic26950 is an adaptive on-time synchronous step-down dc-dc regulator. it is designed to operate over a wide input voltage range from 4.5v to 26v and provides a regulated output voltage at up to 12a of output current. a digitally modified adaptive on-time control scheme is employed in to obtain a constant switching frequency and to simplify the control compensation. over-current protection is implemented without the use of an external sense resistor. the device includes an internal soft-start function which reduces the power supply input surge current at start-up by controlling the output voltage rise time. theory of operation figure 1 illustrates the block diagram for the control loop of the mic26950. the output voltage is sensed by the mic26950 feedback pin fb via the voltage divider r1 and r2, and compared to a 0.8v reference voltage v ref at the error comparator through a low gain transconductance (g m ) amplifier. if the feedback voltage decreases and the output of the g m amplifier is below 0.8v, then the error comparator will trigger the control logic and generate an on-time period. the on-time period length is predetermined by the ?fixed t on estimation? circuitry: 300khz v v t in out ed) on(estimat = (1) where v out is the output voltage and v in is the power stage input voltage. at the end of the on-time period, the internal high-side driver turns off the high-side mosfet and the low-side driver turns on the low-side mosfet. the off-time period length depends upon the feedback voltage in most cases. when the feedback voltage decreases and the output of the g m amplifier is below 0.8v, the on-time period is triggered and the off-time period ends. if the off-time period determined by the feedback voltage is less than the minimum off-time t off(min) , which is about 360ns, the mic26950 control logic will apply the t off(min) instead. t off(min) is required to maintain enough energy in the boost capacitor (c bst ) to drive the high-side mosfet. the maximum duty cycle is obtained from the 360ns t off(min) : s s off(min) s max t 360ns 1 t tt d ?= ? = (2) where t s = 1/300khz = 3.33 s. it is not recommended to use mic26950 with a off-time close to t off(min) during steady-state operation. also, as v out increases, the internal ripple injection will increase and reduce the line regulation performance. therefore, the maximum output voltage of the mic26950 should be limited to 5.5v. please refer to ?setting output voltage? subsection in ?application information? for more details. the actual on-time and re sulting switching frequency will vary with the part-to-part variation in the rise and fall times of the internal mosfets, the output load current, and variations in the vdd voltage. also, the minimum t on results in a lower switching frequency in high v in to v out applications, such as 26v to 1.0v. the minimum t on measured on the mic26950 evaluation board is about 184ns. during load transients, the switching frequency is changed due to the varying off-time. to illustrate the control loop operation, w ill be analyzed both the steady-state and load transient scenarios. for easy analysis, the gain of the g m amplifier is assumed to be 1. with this assumption, the inverting input of the error comparator is the same as the feedback voltage. figure 2 shows the mic26950 control loop timing during steady-state operation. during steady-state, the g m amplifier senses the feedback voltage ripple, which is proportional to the output voltage ripple and the inductor current ripple, to trigger the on-time period. the on- time is predetermined by the t on estimator. the termination of the off-time is controlled by the feedback voltage. at the valley of the feedback voltage ripple, which occurs when v fb falls below v ref , the off period ends and the next on-time period is triggered through the control logic circuitry. figure 2. mic26950 control loop timing
micrel, inc. mic26950 july 2011 15 m9999-070111-c figure 3 shows the operation of the mic26950 during a load transient. the output voltage drops due to the sudden load increase, which causes the v fb to be less than v ref . this will cause the error comparator to trigger an on-time period. at the end of the on-time period, a minimum off-time t off(min) is generated to charge c bst since the feedback voltage is still below v ref . then, the next on-time period is triggered due to the low feedback voltage. therefore, the sw itching frequency changes during the load transient, but returns to the nominal fixed frequency once the output has stabilized at the new load current level. with the va rying duty cycle and switching frequency, the output recovery time is fast and the output voltage deviation is small in mic26950 converter. figure 3. mic26950 load transient response unlike true current-mode cont rol, the mic26950 uses the output voltage ripple to trigger an on-time period. the output voltage ripple is proportional to the inductor current ripple if the esr of the output capacitor is large enough. the mic26950 control loop has the advantage of eliminating the need for slope compensation. in order to meet the stability requirements, the mic26950 feedback voltage ripple should be in phase with the inductor current ripple and large enough to be sensed by the g m amplifier and the error comparator. the recommended feedback voltage ripple is 20mv~100mv. if a low esr output capacitor is selected, the feedback voltage ripple may be too small to be sensed by the g m amplifier and the error comparator. also, the output voltage ripple and the feedback voltage ripple are not necessarily in phase with the inductor current ripple if the esr of the output capacitor is very low. in these cases, ripple in jection is required to ensure proper operation. please refer to ?ripple injection? subsection in ?application information? for more details about the ripple injection technique. soft-start soft-start reduces the power supply input surge current at startup by cont rolling the output voltage rise time. the input surge appears while the output capacitor is charged up. a slower output ri se time will draw a lower input surge current. the mic26950 implements an internal digital soft-start by making the 0.8v reference voltage v ref ramp from 0 to 100% in about 6ms with a 9.7mv step. therefore, the output voltage is controlled to increase slowly by a stair- case v fb ramp. once the soft-start cycle ends, the related circuitry is disabled to reduce current consumption. v dd must be powered up at the same time or after v in to make the soft-start function behavior correctly. current limit the mic26950 uses the r ds(on) of the internal low-side power mosfet to sense over -current conditions. this method will avoid adding cost, board space and power losses taken by a discrete current sense resistor. the low-side mosfet is used because it displays much lower parasitic oscillations during switching than the high-side mosfet. in each switching cycle of the mic26950 converter, the inductor current is sensed by monitoring the low-side mosfet in the off period. if the inductor current is greater than 27a, then the mic26950 turns off the high- side mosfet and a soft-start sequence is triggered. this mode of operation is called ?hiccup mode? and its purpose is to protect the downstream load in case of a hard short. the current limit threshold has a fold back characteristic related to the feedback voltage. as shown in figure 4. current limit threshold vs. feedback voltage 0.0 5.0 10.0 15.0 20.0 25.0 30.0 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 feedback voltage (v) current limit threshold (a) figure 4. mic26950 current limiting circuit
micrel, inc. mic26950 july 2011 16 m9999-070111-c mosfet gate drive the block diagram of figure 1 shows a bootstrap circuit, consisting of d1 (a schottky diode is recommended) and c bst . this circuit supplies energy to the high-side drive circuit. capacitor c bst is charged, while the low-side mosfet is on, and the voltage on the sw pin is approximately 0v. when the high-side mosfet driver is turned on, energy from c bst is used to turn the mosfet on. as the high-side mosfet turns on, the voltage on the sw pin increases to approximately v in . diode d1 is reversed biased and c bst floats high while continuing to keep the high-side mosfet on. the bias current of the high-side driver is less than 10ma so a 0.1 f to 1 f is sufficient to hold the gate voltage with minimal droop for the power stroke (high-side switching) cycle, i.e. bst = 10ma x 3.33 s/0.1 f = 333mv. when the low-side mosfet is turned back on, c bst is recharged through d1. a small resistor r g , which is in series with c bst , can be used to slow down the turn-on time of the high-side n-channel mosfet. the drive voltage is derived from the v dd supply voltage. the nominal low-side gate drive voltage is v dd and the nominal high-side gate drive voltage is approximately v dd ? v diode , where v diode is the voltage drop across d1. an approximate 30ns del ay between the high-side and low-side driver transitions is used to prevent current from simultaneously flowing unimpeded through both mosfets.
micrel, inc. mic26950 july 2011 17 m9999-070111-c application information inductor selection values for inductance, peak, and rms currents are required to select the output inductor. the input and output voltages and the inductance value determine the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current. generally, higher inductance values are used with higher input voltages. larger peak-to-peak ripple currents will increase the power dissipation in the inductor and mosfets. larger output ripple currents will also require more output capacitance to smooth out the larger ripple current. smaller peak-to-peak ripple currents require a larger inductance value and therefore a larger and more expensive inductor. a good compromise between size, loss and cost is to set the inductor ripple current to be equal to 20% of the maximum output current. the inductance value is calc ulated by the equation 4: out(max) sw in(max) out in(max) out i20% f v )v (vv l ? = (4) where: f sw = switching frequency, 300khz 20% = ratio of ac ripple current to dc output current v in(max) = maximum power stage input voltage the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple is: l f v )v (vv i sw in(max) out in(max) out l(pp) ? = (5) the peak inductor current is equal to the average output current plus one half of the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple. i l(pk) =i out(max) + 0.5 i l(pp) (6) the rms inductor current is used to calculate the i 2 r losses in the inductor. 12 i ii 2 l(pp) 2 out(max) l(rms) + = (7) maximizing efficiency requires the proper selection of core material and minimizing the winding resistance. the high frequency operation of the mic26950 requires the use of ferrite materials for a ll but the most cost sensitive applications. lower cost iron powder cores may be used but the increase in core loss will reduce the efficiency of the power supply. this is especially noticeable at low output power. the windi ng resistance decreases efficiency at the higher output current levels. the winding resistance must be minimized although this usually comes at the expense of a larger inductor. the power dissipated in the inductor is equal to the sum of the core and copper losses. at higher output loads, the core losses are usually insignificant and can be ignored. at lower output currents, the core losses can be a significant contributor. core loss information is usually available from the magnetics vendor. copper loss in the inductor is calculated by equation 8: p inductor(cu) = i l(rms) 2 r winding (8) the resistance of the copper wire, r winding , increases with the temperature. the value of the winding resistance used should be at the operating temperature. p winding(ht) = r winding(20c) 1 + 0.0042 (t h ? t 20c )) (9) where: t h = temperature of wire under full load t 20c = ambient temperature r winding(20c) = room temperature winding resistance (usually specified by the manufacturer) output capacitor selection the type of the output capacito r is usually determined by its esr (equivalent series resistance). voltage and rms current capability are two ot her important factors for selecting the output capacitor. recommended capacitor types are tantalum, low-esr aluminum electrolytic, os- con and poscap. the output capacitor?s esr is usually the main cause of the output ripple. the output capacitor esr also affects the control loop from a stability point of view.

(15) the power dissipated in the input capacitor is: p diss(cin) = i cin(rms) 2 esr cin (16) ripple injection the v fb ripple required for proper operation of the mic26950 g m amplifier and error comparator is 20mv to 100mv. however, the output voltage ripple is generally designed as 1% to 2% of the output voltage. for a low output voltage, such as a 1v, the output voltage ripple is only 10mv to 20mv, and the feedback voltage ripple is less than 20mv. if the feedback voltage ripple is so small that the g m amplifier and error comparator can?t sense it, the mic26950 will lose control and the output voltage is not regulated. in order to have some amount of v fb ripple, a ripple injection method is applied for low output voltage ripple applications. the applications are divided into three situations according to the amount of the feedback voltage ripple: 1) enough ripple at the feedback voltage due to the large esr of the output capacitors.
micrel, inc. mic26950 july 2011 19 m9999-070111-c as shown in figure 5a, the converter is stable without any ripple injection. the feedback voltage ripple is: (pp) l c fb(pp) i esr r2r1 r2 v out + = (17) where i l(pp) is the peak-to-peak value of the inductor current ripple. 2) inadequate ripple at the feedback voltage due to the small esr of the output capacitors. the output voltage ripple is fed into the fb pin through a feedforward capacitor c ff in this situation, as shown in figure 5b. the typical c ff value is between 1nf and 100nf. with the feedforward capacitor, the feedback voltage ripple is very close to the output voltage ripple: (pp) l fb(pp) iesr v (18) 3) virtually no ripple at the fb pin voltage due to the very low esr of the output capacitors. figure 5a. enough ripple at fb figure 5b. inadequate ripple at fb figure 5c. invisible ripple at fb in this situation, the output voltage ripple is less than 20mv. therefore, additional ripple is injected into the fb pin from the switching node sw via a resistor r inj and a capacitor c inj , as shown in figure 5c. the injected ripple is: = sw divin fb(pp) f 1 d)-(1dkv v (19) r1//r2 r r1//r2 k inj div + = (20) where v in = power stage input voltage d = duty cycle f sw = switching frequency 2 = (r1//r2//r inj ) c ff in equations (19) and (20), it is assumed that the time constant associated with c ff must be much greater than the switching period: 1 t f 1 sw <<= ? (21) if the voltage divider resistors r1 and r2 are in the k ? range, a c ff of 1nf to 100nf can easily satisfy the large time constant requirements. also, a 100nf injection capacitor c inj is used in order to be considered as short for a wide range of the frequencies. the process of sizing the ripple injection resistor and capacitors is: step 1. select c ff to feed all output ripples into the feedback pin and make sure the large time constant assumption is satisfied. typical choice of c ff is 1nf to 100nf if r1 and r2 are in k ? range.
micrel, inc. mic26950 july 2011 20 m9999-070111-c step 2. select r inj according to the expected feedback voltage ripple using equation 22: in addition to the external ripple injection added at the fb pin, internal ripple injection is added at the inverting input of the comparator in side the mic26950, as shown in figure 7. the inverting input voltage v inj is clamped to 1.2v. as v out is increased, the swing of v inj will be clamped. the clamped v inj reduces the line regulation because it is reflected back as a dc error on the fb terminal. therefore, the maximum output voltage of the mic26950 should be limited to 5.5v to avoid this line regulation problem. d)(1d f v v k sw in fb(pp) div ? = (22) then the value of r inj is obtained as: 1) k 1 ( (r1//r2) r div inj ? = (23) step 3. select c inj as 100nf, which could be considered as short for a wide range of the frequencies. setting output voltage the mic26950 requires two resistors to set the output voltage as shown in figure 6. figure 7. internal ripple injection thermal measurements measuring the ic?s case temperature is recommended to ensure it is within its operating limits. although this might seem like a very elementary task, it is easy to get erroneous results. the most common mistake is to use the standard thermal couple that comes with a thermal meter. this thermal couple wire gauge is large, typically 22 gauge, and behaves like a heatsink, resulting in a lower case measurement. figure 6. voltage-divider configuration the output voltage is determined by the equation: two methods of temperature measurement are using a smaller thermal couple wire or an infrared thermometer. if a thermal couple wire is used, it must be constructed of 36 gauge wire or higher (smaller wire size) to minimize the wire heat-sinking effect. in addition, the thermal couple tip must be covered in either thermal grease or thermal glue to make sure that the thermal couple junction is making good contact with the case of the ic. omega brand thermal couple (5sc-tt-k-36-36) is adequate for most applications. ) r2 r1 (1vv fb out += (24) where, v fb = 0.8v. a typical value of r1 can be between 3k ? and 10k ? . if r1 is too large, it may allow noise to be introduced into the voltage feedback loop. if r1 is too small, it will decrease the efficiency of the power supply, especially at light loads. once r1 is selected, r2 can be calculated using: fb out fb vv r1v r2 ? = (25) wherever possible, an infrared thermometer is recommended. the measurement spot size of most infrared thermometers is too large for an accurate reading on a small form factor ics. however, a ir thermometer from optris has a 1mm spot size, which makes it a good choice for measuring the hottest point on the case. an optional stand makes it easy to hold the beam on the ic for long periods of time.
