11 / 19 page High-Efficiency, 8A, Current-Mode Synchronous Step-Down Switching Regulator with VID Control ______________________________________________________________________________________ 11 Programmable Soft-Start (SS) The IC utilizes a soft-start feature to slowly ramp up the regulated output voltage to reduce input inrush current during startup. Connect a capacitor from SS to PGND to set the startup time. See the Output Voltage Transition Timing section for capacitor selection details. Error Amplifier A high-gain error amplifier provides accuracy for the voltage feedback loop regulation. Connect a compen- sation network between COMP and SGND. See the Compensation Design Guidelines section. The error amplifier transconductance is 1.4mS. COMP clamp low is set to 0.8V, just below the PWM ramp compensation valley, helping COMP to rapidly return to the correct set point during load and line transients. PWM Comparator The PWM comparator compares COMP voltage to the current-derived ramp waveform (LX current to COMP voltage transconductance value is 25A/V). To avoid instability due to subharmonic oscillations when the duty cycle is around 50% or higher, a compensation ramp is added to the current-derived ramp waveform. The compensation ramp slope (0.3V x 1MHz = 0.3V/Fs) is equivalent to half of the inductor current down-slope in the worst case (load 2A, current ripple 30% and maxi- mum duty-cycle operation of 95%). The compensation ramp valley is set to 1V. Overcurrent Protection and Hiccup When the converter output is connected to ground or the device is overloaded, each high-side MOSFET current- limit event (14A) turns off the high-side MOSFET and turns on the low-side MOSFET. A 3-bit counter incre- ments on each current-limit event. The counter is reset after three consecutive events of high-side MOSFET turn-on without reaching the current limit. If the current- limit condition persists, the counter fills up reaching eight events. The control logic then discharges SS, stops both high-side and low-side MOSFETs and waits for a hiccup period (1024 clock cycles) before attempting a new soft- start sequence. The hiccup-mode also operates during soft-start. Thermal Shutdown Protection The IC contains an internal thermal sensor that limits the total power dissipation to protect it in the event of an extended thermal fault condition. When the die tempera- ture exceeds +160NC, the thermal sensor shuts down the device, turning off the DC-DC converter to allow the die to cool. After the die temperature falls by 25NC, the device restarts, following the soft-start sequence. Skip Mode Operation The IC operates in skip mode. When in skip mode, LX output becomes high impedance when the inductor current falls below 0.7A. The inductor current does not become negative. During a clock cycle, if the inductor current falls below the 0.7A threshold (during off-time), the low side turns off. At the next clock cycle, if the output voltage is above the set point the PWM logic keeps both high-side and low-side MOSFETs off. If instead the output voltage is below the set point, the PWM logic drives the high-side on for a minimum fixed on-time (330ns). In this way, the system skips cycles, reducing the frequency of operations, and switches only as needed to service load at the cost of an increase in output-voltage ripple. See the Skip Mode Frequency and Output Ripple section for details. In skip mode, power dissipation is reduced and efficiency improved at light loads because the internal power MOSFETs do not switch at every clock cycle. |
