design procedure adjusting output voltage the MAX17515 produces an adjustable 0.75v to 3.6v output voltage from a 2.4v to 5.5v input voltage range by using a resistive feedback divider from out to fb. the device can deliver up to 5a output current up to an output voltage of 2.5v at +70c. the output current derates for output voltages above 2.5v. adjusting the output voltage of the device requires a resis - tive divider network from out to fb, according to the equation below. from the initial output voltage, the load- line regulation reduces the effective feedback voltage by a typical 5mv/a as the output current increases. out ub v rr 1 0.765 ?? =? ?? ?? k?, where r b is in k?. input voltage range the maximum value (v in(max) ) and minimum value (v in(min) ) must accommodate the worst-case conditions accounting for the input voltage soars and drops. if there is a choice at all, lower input voltages result in better efficiency. with a maximum duty cycle of 87.5%, v out is limited to 0.875 x v in . input capacitor selection the input capacitor must meet the ripple-current require - ment (i rms ) imposed by the switching currents. the i rms requirements of the regulator can be determined by the following equation: rms out i i d (1 d) = ? the worst-case rms current requirement occurs when operating with d = 0.5. at this point, the above equation simplifies to i rms = 0.5 x i out . the minimum input capacitor required can be calculated by the following equation: ( ) ( ) in_ avg in in sw i (1 d) c vf ? = ? where: i in_avg is the average input current given by: out in_ avg in p i v = ? d is the operating duty cycle, which is approximately equal to v out /v in where: ? v in is the required input-voltage ripple, f sw is the operating switching frequency, p out is the output power, which is equal to v out x i out, is the efficiency. for the devices system (in) supply, ceramic capaci - tors are preferred due to their resilience to inrush surge currents typical of systems, and due to their low parasitic inductance, which helps reduce the high-frequency ring - ing on the in supply when the internal mosfets are turned off. choose an input capacitor that exhibits less than +10c temperature rise at the rms input current for optimal circuit longevity. output capacitor selection the output capacitor selection requires careful evalua - tion of several different design requirements (e.g., stabil - ity, transient response, and output ripple voltage) that place limits on the output capacitance and the effective series resistance (esr). based on these requirements, a combination of low-esr polymer capacitors (lower cost but higher output ripple voltage) and ceramic capacitors (higher cost but low output ripple voltage) should be used to achieve stability with low output ripple. loop compensation the gain portion of the loop gain is a result of error- amplifier gain, current-sensing gain, and load with an overall typical value at 1khz of 36db at v in = 5v, and 46db at v in = 3v, with a typical limit to the gain-bandwidth (gbw) product of 120,000. the crossover should occur before this error-amplifier bandwidth limit of 120khz (gain = 1). the output capacitor and load introduces a pole with the worst case at the maximum load (5a). if the load pole location is further than a frequency where figure 1. adjusting output voltage out max 17515 v out fb r u r b maxim integrated 10 MAX17515 5a, 2.4v to 5.5v input, high-effciency power module www.maximintegrated.com
the gain exceeds the gbw, the gain drop starts earlier at the location where the loop gain is limited. this situation applies typically to an output voltage less than 1.8v, so zero frequency from the esr is needed to increase the phase margin at the crossover frequency. the recommended relationship between esr and total output capacitance values are shown in table 1 . when a low-esr type capacitor is used with a ceramic capaci - tor, a recommended value of 44f to 100f ceramic capacitor should be used to make up the total capaci - tance value with the relationship between esr and total output capacitance value, such that the zero frequency is between 32khz and 40khz. when only a low-esr type capacitor is used, the zero frequency should be between 62khz and 80khz. optionally, for an output greater than or equal to 1.8v, an all-ceramic capacitor solution can be used with a minimum capacitance value that locates the pole location below 1khz with resistive load (5a), and with a simplified equation given by c outmin (f) = 900/v out . output ripple voltage with polymer capacitors, the esr dominates and deter - mines the output ripple voltage. the step-down regulators output ripple voltage (v ripple ) equals the total inductor ripple current (i l ) multiplied by the output capacitors esr. therefore, the maximum esr to meet the output ripple-voltage requirement is: ripple esr l v r i ? where: in out out l in sw vv v 1 i l vf ?? ? ?? ?= ?? ?? ?? ?? where f sw is the switching frequency and l is the induc - tor (1h). the actual capacitance value required relates to the physical case size needed to achieve the esr require - ment, as well as to the capacitor chemistry. thus, polymer capacitor selection is usually limited by esr and voltage rating rather than by capacitance value. with ceramic capacitors, the ripple voltage due to capaci - tance dominates the output ripple voltage. therefore, the minimum capacitance needed with ceramic output capacitors is: out sw l ripple i 1 c 8f v ?? ? = ?? ?? alternatively, combining ceramics (for the low esr) and polymers (for the bulk capacitance) helps balance the out - put capacitance vs. output ripple-voltage requirements. load-transient response the load-transient response depends on the overall out - put impedance over frequency, and the overall amplitude and slew rate of the load step. in applications with large, fast-load transients (load step > 80% of full load and slew rate > 10a/s), the output capacitors high-frequency response (esl and esr) needs to be considered. to prevent the output voltage from spiking too low under a load-transient event, the esr is limited by the following equation (ignoring the sag due to finite capacitance): ripplestep esr outstep v r i ? where v ripplestep is the allowed voltage drop during load current transient, and i outstep is the maximum load current step. the capacitance value dominates the mid-frequency output impedance and continues to dominate the load- transient response as long as the load transients slew rate is fewer than two switching cycles. under these table 1. output capacitor selection vs. esr total c out (f) low-esr type with ceramic-type esr (m?) low-esr type without ceramic-type esr (m?) 250 16C20 8C10 300 13C17 7C9 350 11C14 6, 7 400 10C12 5, 6 450 9C11 4C6 500 8C10 4, 5 550 7C9 4, 5 600 7, 8 3, 4 maxim integrated 11 MAX17515 5a, 2.4v to 5.5v input, high-effciency power module www.maximintegrated.com
idle mode is a trademark of maxim integrated products, inc conditions, the sag and soar voltages depend on the output capacitance, inductance value, and delays in the transient response. low inductor values allow the inductor current to slew faster, replenishing charge removed from or added to the output filter capacitors by a sudden load step, especially with low differential voltages across the inductor. the minimum capacitance needed to handle the sag voltage (v sag ) that occurs after applying the load current can be estimated by the following equation: ( ) ( ) out_sag sag 2 step step sw max 1 c v l iout 1 iout (t t) 2 vin d vout = ?? ?? ? ?? ?? + ? ?? ?? ? ?? ?? ?? where: d max is the maximum duty factor (87.5%), t sw is the switching period (1/f sw ), t equals v out /v in x t sw when in pwm mode, or l x i idle /(v in - v out ) when in idle mode (1.5a). the minimum capacitance needed to handle the over - shoot voltage (v soar ) that occurs after load removal (due to stored inductor energy) can be calculated as: ( ) 2 step out out soar iout l c 2v v ? when the device is operating under low duty cycle, the output capacitor size is usually determined by the c out_soar . detailed description the MAX17515 is a complete step-down switch-mode power-supply solution that can deliver up to 5a output current and up to 3.6v output voltage from a 2.4v to 5.5v input voltage range. the device includes switch-mode power-supply controller, dual n-channel mosfet power switches, and an inductor. the device uses a fixed-fre - quency current-mode control scheme. the device provides peak current-limit protection, output undervoltage protection, output overvoltage protection, and thermal protection. the device operates in skip mode at light loads to improve the light-load efficiency. independent enable and an open-drain power-good out - put allow flexible system power sequencing. the fixed voltage soft-start reduces the inrush current by gradually ramping up the internal reference voltage. fixed-frequency current-mode controller the heart of the current-mode pwm controller is a multistage, open-loop comparator that compares the output voltage-error signal with respect to the reference voltage, the current-sense signal, and the slope-compen - sation ramp (see the functional diagram ). the device uses a direct summing configuration, approaching ideal cycle-to-cycle control over the output voltage without a traditional error amplifier and the phase shift associated with it. light-load operation the device features an inherent automatic switchover to pulse skipping (pfm operation) at light loads. this switchover is affected by a comparator that truncates the low-side switch on-time at the inductor currents zero crossing. the zero-crossing comparator senses the inductor current during the off-time. once the current through the low-side mosfet drops below the zero- crossing trip level, it turns off the low-side mosfet. this prevents the inductor from discharging the output capaci - tors and forces the switching regulator to skip pulses under light-load conditions to avoid overcharging the output. therefore, the controller regulates the valley of the output ripple under light-load conditions. the switching waveforms can appear noisy and asynchronous at light- load pulse-skipping operation, but this is a normal operat - ing condition that results in high light-load efficiency. idle mode? current-sense threshold in idle mode, the on-time of the step-down controller ter - minates when both the output voltage exceeds the feed - back threshold, and the internal current-sense voltage falls below the idle mode current-sense threshold (i idle = 1.5a). another on-time cannot be initiated until the output voltage drops below the feedback threshold. in this mode, the behavior appears like pwm operation with occasional pulse skipping, where inductor current does not need to reach the light-load level. power-on reset (por) and uvlo power-on reset (por) occurs when v cc rises above approximately 2.1v, resetting the undervoltage, over - voltage, and thermal-shutdown fault latches. the v cc input undervoltage-lockout (uvlo) circuitry prevents the switching regulators from operating if the 5v bias supply (v cc ) is below its 4v uvlo threshold. maxim integrated 12 MAX17515 5a, 2.4v to 5.5v input, high-effciency power module www.maximintegrated.com
soft-start the internal step-down controller starts switching and the output voltage ramps up using soft-start. if the v cc bias supply voltage drops below the uvlo threshold, the controller stops switching and disables the drivers (lx becomes high impedance) until the bias supply voltage recovers. once the 5v v cc bias supply and v in rise above their respective input uvlo thresholds, and en is pulled high, the internal step-down controller becomes enabled and begins switching. the internal voltage soft-starts gradu - ally increment the feedback voltage by approximately 25mv every 61 switching cycles, making the output volt - age reach its nominal regulation voltage 1.79ms after the regulator is enabled (see the soft-start waveforms in the typical operating characteristics section). power-good output (pok) pok is the open-drain output of the window comparator that continuously monitors the output for undervoltage and overvoltage conditions. pok is actively held low in shutdown (en = gnd). pok becomes high impedance after the device is enabled and the output remains within 10% of the nominal regulation voltage set by fb. pok goes low once the output drops 12% (typ) below or rises 12% (typ) above its nominal regulation point, or the output shuts down. for a logic-level pok output voltage, con - nect an external pullup resistor between pok and v cc . a 10k pullup resistor works well in most applications. output overvoltage protection (ovp) if the output voltage rises to 112% (typ) of its nominal regulation voltage, the controller sets the fault latch, pulls pok low, shuts down the regulator, and immediately pulls the output to ground through its low-side mosfet. turning on the low-side mosfet with 100% duty cycle rapidly discharges the output capacitors and clamps the output to ground. however, this commonly undamped response causes negative output voltages due to the energy stored in the output lc at the instant of 0v fault. if the load cannot tolerate a negative voltage, place a power schottky diode across the output to act as a reverse- polarity clamp. if the condition that caused the overvolt - age persists (such as a shorted high-side mosfet), the input source also fails (short-circuit fault). cycle v cc below 1v or toggle the enable input to clear the fault latch and restart the regulator. output undervoltage protection (uvp) the device includes an output undervoltage-protection (uvp) circuit that begins to monitor the output once the startup blanking period has ended. if the output voltage drops below 88% (typ) of its nominal regulation voltage, the regulator pulls the pok output low and begins the uvp fault timer. once the timer expires after 1.6ms, the regulator shuts down, forcing the high-side mosfet off and disabling the low-side mosfet once the zero- crossing threshold has been reached. cycle v cc below 1v, or toggle the enable input to clear the fault latch and restart the regulator. thermal-fault protection the device features a thermal-fault protection circuit. when the junction temperature rises above +160c (typ), a thermal sensor activates the fault latch, pulls down the pok output, and shuts down the regulator. toggle en to clear the fault latch, and restart the controllers after the junction temperature cools by 15c (typ). power dissipation the device output current needs to be derated if the out - put voltage is above 2.5v or if the device needs to oper - ate in high ambient temperature. the amount of current derating depends upon the input voltage, output voltage, and ambient temperature. the derating curves given in the typical operating characteristics section can be used as a guide. the maximum allowable power losses can be calculated using the following equation: jmax a max ja tt pd ? = q where: pd max is the maximum allowed power losses with maximum allowed junction temperature, t jmax is the maximum allowed junction temperature, t a is operating ambient temperature, q ja is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. maxim integrated 13 MAX17515 5a, 2.4v to 5.5v input, high-effciency power module www.maximintegrated.com
pcb layout guidelines careful pcb layout is critical to achieving low switching losses and clean, stable operation. use the following guidelines for good pcb layout: keep the input capacitors as close as possible to the in and pgnd pins. keep the output capacitors as close as possible to the out and pgnd pins. connect all the pgnd connections to as large a cop - per plane area as possible on the top layer. connect ep1 to the pgnd and gnd planes on the top layer. use multiple vias to connect internal pgnd planes to the top-layer pgnd plane. do not keep any solder mask on ep1Cep3 on bottom layer. keeping solder mask on exposed pads decreas - es the heat-dissipating capability. keep the power traces and load connections short. this practice is essential for high efficiency. using thick copper pcbs (2oz vs. 1oz) can enhance full-load efficiency. correctly routing pcb traces is a difficult task that must be approached in terms of fractions of centimeters, where a single milliohm of excess trace resistance causes a measurable efficiency penalty. figure 2. layout recommendation +denotes a lead(pb)-free/rohs-compliant package. 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 4 15 1 2 3 16 17 18 ep 2 ep 1 ep 3 gnd pgnd v in v out v out pgnd part temp range pin-package MAX17515eli+ -40c to +85c 28 sip package type package code outline no. land pattern no. 28 sip l286510+1 21-0701 90-0445 maxim integrated 14 package information for the latest package outline information and land patterns (footprints), go to www.maximintegrated.com/packages . note that a +, #, or - in the package code indicates rohs status only. package drawings may show a different suffix character, but the drawing pertains to the package regardless of rohs status. chip information process: bicmos ordering information MAX17515 5a, 2.4v to 5.5v input, high-effciency power module www.maximintegrated.com
