9 / 13 page 3A, 1MHz, Low-Voltage, Step-Down Regulators with Synchronous Rectification and Internal Switches _______________________________________________________________________________________ 9 Synchronous Rectification In a step-down regulator without synchronous rectifica- tion, an external Schottky diode provides a path for cur- rent to flow when the inductor is discharging. Replacing the Schottky diode with a low-resistance NMOS syn- chronous switch reduces conduction losses and improves efficiency. The NMOS synchronous-rectifier switch turns on follow- ing a short delay after the PMOS power switch turns off, thus preventing cross conduction or “shoot through.” In constant-off-time mode, the synchronous-rectifier switch turns off just prior to the PMOS power switch turning on. While both switches are off, inductor current flows through the internal-body diode of the NMOS switch. The internal-body diode’s forward voltage is rel- atively high. An external Schottky diode from PGND to LX can improve efficiency. Thermal Resistance Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is highly dependent on the amount of copper area immediately surrounding the IC leads. The MAX1830/MAX1831 evaluation kit has 0.7in2 of copper area and a thermal resistance of +71°C/W with no forced airflow. Airflow over the board significantly reduces the junction-to- ambient thermal resistance. For heatsinking purposes, evenly distribute the copper area connected at the IC among the high-current pins. Power Dissipation Power dissipation in the MAX1830/MAX1831 is domi- nated by conduction losses in the two internal power switches. Power dissipation due to supply current in the control section and average current used to charge and discharge the gate capacitance of the internal switches (i.e., switching losses) is approximately: PDS = C x VIN2 x fPWM where C = 5nF and fPWM is the switching frequen- cy in PWM mode. This number is reduced when the switching frequency decreases as the part enters Idle Mode. Combined con- duction losses in the two power switches are approxi- mated by: PD = IOUT2 x RPMOS where RPMOS is the on-resistance of the PMOS switch. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance required to dissipate this amount of power is calculated by: θJA = (TJ,MAX - TA,MAX) / PD(TOT) where: θJA = junction-to-ambient thermal resistance TJ,MAX = maximum junction temperature TA,MAX = maximum ambient temperature PD(TOT) = total losses Design Procedure For typical applications, use the recommended compo- nent values in Table 1. For other applications, take the following steps: 1) Select the desired PWM-mode switching frequency; 1MHz is a good starting point. See Figure 3 for maxi- mum operating frequency. 2) Select the constant off-time as a function of input voltage, output voltage, and switching frequency. 3) Select RTOFF as a function of off-time. 4) Select the inductor as a function of output voltage, off-time, and peak-to-peak inductor current. Setting the Output Voltage The output of the MAX1830/MAX1831 is selectable between one of three preset output voltages. For a pre- set output voltage, connect FB to the output voltage and connect FBSEL as indicated in Table 2. For an adjustable output voltage, connect FBSEL to GND and connect FB to a resistive divider between the output Figure 4. Adjustable Output Voltage Table 2.
