Pin connection (top view) 1.2 Pin description Table 1. N. 1 Pin description Type OUT Regulator output Master/Slave Synchronization. When it is left floating, a signal with a phase shift of half a period respect to the power turn on is present at the pin. When connected to an external signal at a frequency higher than the internal one, then the device is synchronized by the external signal, with zero phase shift. Connecting together the SYNC pin of two devices, the one with higher frequency works as master and the other one as slave; so the two powers turn on have a phase shift of half a period. A logical signal (active high) disable the device. With INH higher than 1.9V the device is OFF and with INH lower than 0.6V the device is ON. Error Amplifier output to be used for loop frequency compensation Feedback input. Connecting the output voltage directly to this pin the output voltage is regulated at 0.6V. To have higher regulated voltages an external resistor divider is required from Vout to FB pin. The switching frequency can be increased connecting an external resistor from FSW pin and ground. If this pin is left floating the deice works at its free-running frequency of 250kHz.

Guaranteed by design. 7/37 www..com Functional description L5983 4 Functional description The L5983 is based on a "voltage mode", constant frequency control. The output voltage VOUT is sensed by the feedback pin (FB), compared to an internal reference (0.6V) providing an error signal that, compared to a fixed frequency sawtooth, controls the on and off time of the power switch. The main internal blocks are shown in the block diagram in Figure 3. They are: A fully integrated oscillator that provides sawtooth to modulate the duty cycle and the synchronization signal. Its switching frequency can be adjusted by and external resistor. The voltage and frequency feed forward are implemented. The soft start circuitry to limit inrush current during the start up phase. The voltage mode Error Amplifier The Pulse Width Modulator and the relative logic circuitry necessary to drive the internal power switch. The High-side driver for embedded p-channel power MOSFET switch. The peak current limit sensing block, to handle over load and short circuit conditions. A voltage regulator and internal reference. It supplies internal circuitry and provides a fixed internal reference. A voltage monitor circuitry (UVLO) that checks the input and internal voltages. A thermal shutdown block, to prevent thermal run away. Figure 3. Block diagram 8/37 www..com Functional description L5983 4.1 Oscillator and synchronization Figure 4 shows the block diagram of the oscillator circuit. The internal oscillator provides a constant frequency clock. Its frequency depends on the resistor externally connect to FSW pin. In case the FSW pin is left floating the frequency is 250kHz; it can be increased as shown in Figure 6 by external resistor connected to ground. To improve the line transient performance and to keep the PWM gain constant versus the input voltage, the voltage feed forward is implemented by changing the slope of the sawtooth according to the input voltage change (see Figure 5.a). The slope of the sawtooth also changes if the oscillator frequency is increased by the external resistor. In this way a frequency feed forward is implemented (Figure 5.b) in order to keep the PWM gain constant versus the switching frequency (see Section 5.4 for PWM gain expression). On the SYNCH pin the synchronization signal is generated. This signal has a phase shift of 180 with respect to the clock. This delay is useful when two devices are synchronized connecting the SYNCH pin together. When SYNCH pins are connected, the device with higher oscillator frequency works as Master, so the Slave device switches at the frequency of the Master but with a delay of half a period. This minimizes the RMS current flowing through the input capacitor [see L5988D Data sheet]. Figure 4. Oscillator circuit block diagram Clock FSW Clock Generator Synchronization SYNCH Ramp Generator Sawtooth The device can be synchronized to work at higher frequency feeding an external clock signal. The synchronization changes the sawtooth amplitude, changing the PWM gain (Figure 5.c). This changing has to be taken into account when the loop stability is studied. To minimize the change of the PWM gain, the free running frequency should be set (with a resistor on FSW pin) only slightly lower than the external clock frequency. This pre-adjusting of the frequency will change the sawtooth slope in order to get negligible the truncation of sawtooth, due to the external synchronization. 9/37 www..com Functional description Figure 5. L5983 Sawtooth: voltage and frequency feed forward; external synchronization. Figure 6. Oscillator frequency versus FSW pin resistor 10/37 www..com Functional description L5983 4.2 Soft-start The soft-start is essential to assure correct and safe start up of the step-down converter. It avoids inrush current surge and makes the output voltage increases monothonically. The soft -start is performed by a staircase ramp on the non-inverting input (VREF) of the Error Amplifier. So the output voltage slew rate is: Equation 1 SR OUT = SR VREF 1 + R1 ------ R2 where SRVREF is the slew rate of the non-inverting input and R1, R2 is the resistor divider to regulate the output voltage (see Figure 7). The soft-start stair case consists of 64 steps of 9.5mV each one, from 0V to 0.6V. The time base of one step is of 32 clock cycles. So the soft start time and then the output voltage slew rate depend on the switching frequency. Figure 7. Soft start scheme. Soft start time results: Equation 2 32 64 SS TIME = ----------------Fsw For example with a switching frequency of 250kHz the SSTIME is 8ms. 11/37 www..com Functional description L5983 4.3 Error amplifier and compensation The Error Amplifier (E/A) provides the error signal to be compared with the sawtooth to perform the Pulse Width Modulation. Its non-inverting input is internally connected to a 0.6V voltage reference, while its inverting input (FB) and output (COMP) are externally available for feedback and frequency compensation. In this device the Error amplifier is a Voltage Mode Operational Amplifier so with high DC gain and low output impedance. The uncompensated Error Amplifier characteristics are the following: Table 4. Uncompensated Error Amplifier characteristics Low frequency Gain GBWP Slew Rate Output voltage swing Maximum source/sink current 100dB 4.5MHz 7V/s 0 to 3.3V 25mA/40mA In continuos conduction mode (CCM), the transfer function of the power section has two poles due to the LC filter and one zero due to the ESR of the output capacitor. Different kinds of compensation networks can be used depending on the ESR value of the output capacitor. In case the zero introduced by the output capacitor helps to compensate the double pole of the LC filter a type II compensation network can be used. Otherwise, a type III compensation network has to be used (see Chapter 5.4 for details about the compensation network selection). Anyway the methodology to compensate the loop is to introduce zeros to obtain a safe phase margin. 12/37 www..com Functional description L5983 4.4 Over-current protection The L5983 implements the over current protection sensing current flowing through the power MOSFET. Due to the noise created by the switching activity of the power MOSFET, the current sensing is disabled during the initial phase of the conduction time. This avoids an erroneous detection of a fault condition. This interval is generally known as "masking time" or "blanking time". The masking time is about 200ns. When the over current is detected, two different behaviors are possible depending on the operation condition. 1. Output voltage in regulation. When the over current is sensed, the power MOSFET is switched off and the internal reference (VREF), that biases the non-inverting input of the error amplifier, is set to zero and kept in this condition for a soft start time (TSS, 2048 clock cycles). After this time, a new soft start phase takes place and the internal reference begins ramping (see Figure 8.a). Soft start phase. If the over current limit is reached the power MOSFET is turned off implementing the pulse by pulse over current protection. During the soft start phase, under over current condition, the device can skip pulses in order to keep the output current constant and equal to the current limit. If at the end of the "masking time" the current is higher than the over current threshold, the power MOSFET is turned off and it will skip one pulse. If, at the next switching on at the end of the "masking time" the current is still higher than the threshold, the device will skip two pulses. This mechanism is repeated and the device can skip up to seven pulses. While, if at the end of the "masking time" the current is lower than the over current threshold, the number of skipped cycles is decreased of one unit. At the end of soft start phase the output voltage is in regulation and if the over current persists the behavior explained above take place. (see Figure 8.b) 2. So the over current protection can be summarized as an "hiccup" intervention when the output is in regulation and a constant current during the soft start phase. If the output is shorted to ground when the output voltage is on regulation, the over current is triggered and the device starts cycling with a period of 2048 clock cycles between "hiccup" (power MOSFET off and no current to the load) and "constant current" with very short ontime and with reduced switching frequency (up to one eighth of normal switching frequency). See figure 32 for short circuit behavior. 13/37 www..com Functional description Figure 8. Over current protection strategy L5983 4.5 Inhibit function The inhibit feature allows to put in stand-by mode the device.With INH pin higher than 1.9V the device is disabled and the power consumption is reduced to less than 30uA. With INH pin lower than 0.6V, the device is enabled. If the INH pin is left floating, an internal pull up ensures that the voltage at the pin reaches the inhibit threshold and the device is disabled. The pin is also VCC compatible. 4.6 Hysteretic thermal shutdown The thermal shutdown block generates a signal that turns off the power stage if the junction temperature goes above 150oC. Once the junction temperature goes back to about 130oC, the device restarts in normal operation. The sensing element is very close to the PDMOS area, so ensuring an accurate and fast temperature detection. 14/37 www..com Application informations L5983 5 5.1 Application informations Input capacitor selection The capacitor connected to the input has to be capable to support the maximum input operating voltage and the maximum RMS input current required by the device. The input capacitor is subject to a pulsed current, the RMS value of which is dissipated over its ESR, affecting the overall system efficiency. So the input capacitor must have a RMS current rating higher than the maximum RMS input current and an ESR value compliant with the expected efficiency. The maximum RMS input current flowing through the capacitor can be calculated as: Equation 3 2 D- DI RMS = I O D - -------------- + ----- 2 2 Where Io is the maximum DC output current, D is the duty cycle, is the efficiency. This function has a maximum at D = 0.5 and, considering = 1, it is equal to Io/2. In a specific application the range of possible duty cycles has to be considered in order to find out the maximum RMS input current. The maximum and minimum duty cycles can be calculated as: Equation 4 V OUT + V F D MAX = -----------------------------------V INMIN - V SW and Equation 5 V OUT + V F D MIN = ------------------------------------V INMAX - V SW Where VF is the forward voltage on the freewheeling diode and VSW is voltage drop across the internal PDMOS. In Table 5 some Multi Layer Ceramic capacitors suitable for this device are reported Table 5.

So the minimum inductance value in order to have the expected current ripple has to be selected. The rule to fix the current ripple value is to have a ripple at 20%-40% of the output current. The inductance value can be calculated by the following equation: Equation 6 V IN - V OUT V OUT I L = ----------------------------- T ON = -------------- T OFF L L Where TON and TOFF are the on and off time of the internal power switch. The maximum current ripple, at fixed Vout, is obtained at maximum TOFF that is at minimum duty cycle (see previous section to calculate minimum duty). So fixing IL=20% to 40% of the maximum output current, the minimum inductance value can be calculated: Equation 7 V OUT + V F 1 - D MIN L MIN = --------------------------- ---------------------I MAX F SW where FSW is the switching frequency, 1/(TON + TOFF). For example for VOUT=3.3V, VIN=12V, IO=1.5A and FSW=250kHz the minimum inductance value to have IL=30% of IO is about 21H. The peak current through the inductor is given by: Equation 8 I L I L, PK = I O + ------2 So if the inductor value decreases, the peak current (that has to be lower than the current limit of the device) increases. The higher is the inductor value, the higher is the average output current that can be delivered, without reaching the current limit. In the table below some inductor part numbers are listed.

This ripple is due to the capacitive component and the resistive component (ESR). So the output capacitor has to be selected in order to have a voltage ripple compliant with the application requirements. The amount of the voltage ripple can be calculated starting from the current ripple obtained by the inductor selection. Equation 9 I MAX V OUT = ESR I MAX + -----------------------------------8 C OUT f SW Usually the resistive component of the ripple is much higher than the capacitive one, if the output capacitor adopted is not a multi layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) with very low ESR value. The output capacitor is important also for loop stability: it fixes the double LC filter pole and the zero due to its ESR. In Chapter 5.4, it will be illustrated how to consider its effect in the system stability. For example with VOUT=3.3V, VIN=12V, IL=0.5A (resulting by the inductor value), in order to have a VOUT=0.01*VOUT, if the multi layer capacitor are adopted, 10uF are needed and the ESR effect on the output voltage ripple can be neglected. In case of not negligible ESR (electrolytic or tantalum capacitors), the capacitor is chosen taking into account its ESR value. So 100uF with ESR=40m is compliant with the requested output voltage ripple. The output capacitor is also important to sustain the output voltage when a load transient with high slew rate is required by the load. When the load transient slew rate exceeds the system bandwidth the output capacitor provides the current to the load. So if the high slew rate load transient is required by the application the output capacitor and system bandwidth have to be chosen in order to sustain the load transient. In the table below some capacitor series are listed. Table 7.

The loop of the L5983 is based on the voltage mode control. The Error Amplifier is a voltage operational amplifier with high bandwidth. So selecting the compensation network the E/A will be considered as ideal, that is, its bandwidth is much larger than the system one. The transfer functions of PWM modulator and the output LC filter are studied (Figure 9 on page 19). The transfer function of the PWM modulator, from the Error Amplifier output (COMP pin) to the OUT pin, results: Equation 10 V IN G PW0 = -------Vs where VS is the sawtooth amplitude. As seen in Chapter 4.1, the voltage feed forward generates a sawtooth amplitude directly proportional to the input voltage, that is: Equation 11 V S = K V IN In this way the PWM modulator gain results constant and equals to: Equation 12 V IN 1 G PW0 = -------- = --- = 9 Vs K The synchronization of the device with an external clock provided trough SYNCH pin can modifies the PWM modulator gain (see Chapter 4.1 to understand how this gain changes and how to keep it constant in spite of the external synchronization) 18/37 www..com Application informations The transfer function on the LC filter is given by: Equation 13 s 1 + ------------------------2 f zESR G LC ( s ) = -----------------------------------------------------------------------s -2 s 1 + ---------------------------- + ------------------ 2 Q f LC 2 f LC L5983 where: Equation 14 1 f LC = ----------------------------------------------------------------------- , ESR2 L C OUT 1 + -------------R OUT 1 f zESR = ------------------------------------------2 ESR C OUT Equation 15 R OUT L C OUT ( R OUT + ESR ) Q = ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- , L + C OUT R OUT E SR V OUT R OUT = -------------I OUT As seen in Chapter 4.3 two different kind of network can compensate the loop. In the two following paragraph the guidelines to select the Type II and Type III compensation network are illustrated. Figure 9. Error amplifier, PWM modulator and LC output filter VCC VS VREF FB E/A COMP PWM OUT L ESR GPW0 GLC COUT 5.4.1 Type III compensation network The methodology to stabilize the loop consists of placing two zeros to compensate the effect of the LC double pole, so increasing phase margin; then to place one pole in the origin to minimize the dc error on regulated output voltage; finally to place other poles far away the zero dB frequency. 19/37 www..com Application informations L5983 In Figure 10 the type III compensation network is shown.

Figure 11. Open loop gain: module Bode diagram 20/37 www..com Application informations L5983 The guidelines for positioning the poles and the zeroes and for calculating the component values can be summarized as follow: 1. 2. Choose a value for R1, usually between 1k and 5k. Choose a gain (R4/R1) in order to have the required bandwidth (BW), that means: Equation 18 BW 1 -R 4 = --------- --- R 1 f LC K where K is the feed forward constant and 1/K is equals to 9. 3. Calculate C4 by placing the zero at 50% of the output filter double pole frequency (fLC): Equation 19 1 C 4 = ------------------------- R 4 f LC 4. Calculate C5 by placing the second pole at four times the system bandwidth (BW): Equation 20 C4 C 5 = ------------------------------------------------------------2 R 4 C 4 4 BW - 1 5. Set also the first pole at four times the system bandwidth and also the second zero at the output filter double pole: Equation 21 R1 R 3 = -------------------------- , 4 BW - 1 ----------------f LC 1 C 3 = ---------------------------------------2 R 3 4 BW The suggested maximum system bandwidth is equals to the switching frequency divided by 3.5 (FSW/3.5), anyway lower than 100kHz if the FSW is set higher than 500kHz. For example with VOUT=3.3V, VIN=12V, IO=1.5A, L=22H, COUT=22F, the type III compensation network is: R 1 = 4.99k, R 2 = 1.1k, R 3 = 120, R 4 = 4.99k, C 3 = 4.7nF, C 4 = 10nF, C 5 = 68pF In Figure 12 is shown the module and phase of the open loop gain.

Choose a gain (R4/R1) in order to have the required bandwidth (BW), that means: Equation 22 f ESR 2 BW V S R 4 = ----------- ----------- -------- R 1 f LC f ESR V IN Where fESR is the ESR zero: Equation 23 1 f ESR = ------------------------------------------2 ESR C OUT and Vs is the saw-tooth amplitude.

Calculate C4 by placing the zero one decade below the output filter double pole: Equation 24 10 C 4 = -----------------------------2 R 4 f LC 4. Then calculate C3 in order to place the second pole at four times the system bandwidth (BW): Equation 25 C4 C 5 = ------------------------------------------------------------2 R 4 C 4 4 BW - 1 For example with VOUT=3.3V, VIN=12V, IO=1.5A, L=22H, COUT=330F, ESR=50m, the type II compensation network is: R 1 = 1.1k, R 2 = 249, R 4 = 10k, C 4 = 6.8nF, C 5 = 68pF In Figure 15 is shown the module and phase of the open loop gain. The bandwidth is about 30kHz and the phase margin is 45. 24/37 www..com Application informations L5983 Figure 15.

The three different sources of losses within the device are: a) conduction losses due to the not negligible RDSON of the power switch; these are equal to: Equation 26 P ON = R DSON ( I OUT ) D 2 Where D is the duty cycle of the application and the maximum RDSon is 300m. Note that the duty cycle is theoretically given by the ratio between VOUT an VIN, but actually it is quite higher to compensate the losses of the regulator. So the conduction losses increases compared with the ideal case. b) switching losses due to power MOSFET turn ON and OFF; these can be calculated as: Equation 27 ( T RISE + T FALL ) P SW = V IN I OUT ------------------------------------------ Fsw = V IN I OUT T SW F SW 2 Where TRISE and TFALL are the overlap times of the voltage across the power switch (VDS) and the current flowing into it during turn ON and turn OFF phases, as shown in Figure 16. TSW is the equivalent switching time. For this device the typical value for the equivalent switching time is 50ns. c) Quiescent current losses, calculated as: Equation 28 P Q = V IN I Q where IQ is the quiescent current. (IQ = 20uA) The junction temperature TJ can be calculated as: Equation 29 T J = T A + Rth JA P TOT Where TA is the ambient temperature and PTOT is the sum of the power losses just seen. RthJA is the equivalent thermal resistance junction to ambient of the device; it can be calculated as the parallel of many paths of heat conduction from the junction to the ambient. 26/37 www..com Application informations L5983 For this device the path through the exposed pad is the one conducting the largest amount of heat. The RthJA measured on the demoboard described in the following paragraph is about 60/W. Figure 16. Switching losses 5.6 Layout considerations The PC board layout of switching DC/DC regulator is very important to minimize the noise injected in high impedance nodes and interferences generated by the high switching current loops. In a step down converter the input loop (including the input capacitor, the power MOSFET and the free wheeling diode) is the most critical one. This is due to the fact that the high value pulsed current are flowing through it. In order to minimize the EMI, this loop has to be as short as possible. To filter the high frequency noise, a small capacitor can be added as close as possible to the input voltage pin of the device. The feedback pin (FB) connection to external resistor divider is a high impedance node, so the interferences can be minimized placing the routing of feedback node as far as possible from the high current paths. To reduce the pick up noise the resistor divider has to be placed very close to the device. Thanks to the exposed pad of the device, the ground plane helps to reduce the thermal resistance junction to ambient; so a large ground plane enhances the thermal performance of the converter allowing high power conversion.
