8 / 22 page LM3485 SNVS178F – MAY 2004 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2009 www.ti.com Functional Description OVERVIEW The LM3485 is buck (step-down) DC-DC controller that uses a hysteretic control scheme. The comparator is designed with approximately 10mV of hysteresis. In response to the voltage at the FB pin, the gate drive (PGATE pin) turns the external PFET on or off. When the inductor current is too high, the current limit protection circuit engages and turns the PFET off for approximately 9µs. Hysteretic control does not require an internal oscillator. Switching frequency depends on the external components and operating conditions. Operating frequency reduces at light loads resulting in excellent efficiency compared to other architectures. 2 external resistors can easily program the output voltage. The output can be set in a wide range from 1.242V (typical) to VIN. HYSTERETIC CONTROL CIRCUIT The LM3485 uses a comparator based voltage control loop. The feedback is compared to a 1.242V reference and a 10mV hysteresis is designed into the comparator to ensure noise free operation. When the FB input to the comparator falls below the reference voltage, the output of the comparator moves to a low state. This results in the driver output, PGATE, pulling the gate of the PFET low and turning on the PFET. With the PFET on, the input supply charges Cout and supplies current to the load via the series path through the PFET and the inductor. Current through the Inductor ramps up linearly and the output voltage increases. As the FB voltage reaches the upper threshold, which is the internal reference voltage plus 10mV, the output of the comparator changes from low to high, and the PGATE responds by turning the PFET off. As the PFET turns off, the inductor voltage reverses, the catch diode turns on, and the current through the inductor ramps down. Then, as the output voltage reaches the internal reference voltage again, the next cycle starts. The LM3485 operates in discontinuous conduction mode at light load current or continuous conduction mode at heavy load current. In discontinuous conduction mode, current through the inductor starts at zero and ramps up to the peak, then ramps down to zero. Next cycle starts when the FB voltage reaches the internal voltage. Until then, the inductor current remains zero. Operating frequency is lower and switching losses reduce. In continuous conduction mode, current always flows through the inductor and never ramps down to zero. The output voltage (VOUT) can be programmed by 2 external resistors. It can be calculated as follows: VOUT = 1.242* ( R1 + R2 ) / R2 (1) Figure 2. Hysteretic Window The minimum output voltage ripple (VOUT_PP) can be calculated in the same way. VOUT_PP = VHYST ( R1 + R2 ) / R2 (2) For example, with VOUT set to 3.3V, VOUT_PP is 26.6mV VOUT_PP = 0.01* ( 33K + 20K ) / 20K = 0.0266V (3) 8 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2004–2009, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM3485 |
