AiT Semiconductor Inc. www.ait-ic.com A7442A DC-DC CONVER TER/ B UCK (STEP-DOWN) 40V , 4.2A HIGH PERFORMANCE CV/CC SYNCHRONOUS WITH DUAL OUTPUTS REV1.0 - DEC 2017 RELEASED - - 10 - DETAILED INFORMATION Operation The A7442A is a monolithic high efficiency synchronous CV / CC buck converter with dual outputs. It utilizes internal MOSFETs to achieve high efficiency and up to 4.2 A output current in a wide input range from 6 V to 36 V. The constant current limit thresholds for each output can be programed through the CSP, CSN1 and CSN2 pins individually. The A7442A is capable to operate in CC mode down to 3 V output voltage to protect the soft-short condition that is from the over current of the portable device. With the slope compensated current mode PWM control, provides stable switching and cycle-by-cycle current limit for excellent load and line responses and protection of the internal switches. During normal operation, the internal main switch is turned on for a certain time to ramp up the inductor current at each rising edge of the internal oscillator, and turned off when the peak inductor current is above the error voltage. The current comparator limits the average induct or current. Once the main switch is turned off, the synchronous rectifier will be turned on immediately and stay on until either the inductor current decay to zero, as indicated by the zero current comparator or the beginning of the next clock cycle. Compensation for Output Cord Voltage Drop In charger applications, the voltage drop across the output cord is significant in high current charging process. In some cases, excessive voltage drop across the output cord will even extend the charging time if high impedance output cord is used. The A7442A integrated a cable compensation function. When the output current increases, the CC pin sinks current into the IC to increase the voltage drop across the resistor, RCC, in order to increase the output voltage. The sinking current of the CC pin is proportional to the voltage across CSP and CSN1 pins plus CSP and CSN2 pins. Thus, the cable compensation function can increase the output voltage according to the load. The increment of the voltage measured at CSP pin(VCSP) is called Cable Compensation Voltage (VCCOMP). The value of RCC determines the gain of the cable compensation. The value of RCC can be calculated using Equation 1. RCC = K x )RIR(I V S2 x OUT2S1 X OUT CCOMP 1 (1) Where RCC is the value of the resistor between CC pin and the node of the inductor. VCCOMP is the cable compensation voltage measured at the CSP pin. IOUT1 is the output current of channel 1. IOUT2 is the output current of channel 2. K is a constant which is ~ 0.002A/V. RS1 is the value of the sensing resistor of channel 1. RS2 is the value of the sensing resistor of channel 2.
channel can be programed through CSP, CSN1 and CSN2 pins individually. selected for ensuring 2.4 A and 1.0 A continuous output currents is enough. Figure 1.

RCC is the value of the resistor between CC pin and the node of the inductor. IOUT* is the output current of channel 1 or channel 2.

Excessive current might occur with a shorted or saturated inductor or a heavy load or shorted output circuit c ondition. If the inductor current reaches the peak limit threshold, the high -side MOSFET is turned off and the low-side MOSFET is turned on to ramp down the inductor current. Input Under-voltage Lockout (UVLO) An input UVLO circuit prevents the converter from starting the operation until the input voltage rises above the typical UVLO threshold of 4.37 V. CSP Over Voltage Protection (OVP) The CSP pin senses the output voltage at node between the sensing resistors, R S1 and RS2. If the voltage at CSP pin is detected above CSP OVP threshold of 5.8 V typically, the device stops switching immediately until the voltage at the CSP pin drops the hysteresis voltage lower than CSP OVP threshold. This function prevents the device as well as the output capacitors from damage by high voltage on the output even though the feedback loop is faulty broken, i.e. RCC is open. Input Over Voltage Protection (OVP) The input OVP is an additional function to protect the device from damage in a condition which is above the specified input voltage range. Once the input voltage is raising above input OVP threshold, 39.5 V typically, the A7442A stops switching to reduce the chance of damage by the voltage spike at SW pin. The device goes back to normal operation until the input voltage falls a hysteresis about 2.5V below the input OVP threshold. Hiccup Mode Output Under Voltage Protection (UVP) There is a CSP UVP threshold. If the threshold is hit, the hiccup mode output UVP will be triggered by disabling the converter and restarts soft -start after a predefined interval about 0.25 sec. The A7442A repeats this mode until the under voltage condition is removed. This function prevents the damage of the system from hard-short condition and the soft-short condition from the over current of portable device. Soft-start The A7442A implements the soft start function to reduce the inrush current during startup. The soft start begins once the input voltage raises above UVLO threshold. The soft start time is typically 1ms.

Typically, the thermal shutdown happens at the junction temperature of 165°C. When the thermal shutdown is triggered, the device stops switching until the juncti on temperature drops the hysteresis temperature lower than thermal shutdown threshold, then the device starts switching again.

Three most important specifications to the performance of the inductor are the inductor value, DC resistance, and saturation current. The A7442A designed to work with inductor values between 15μH to 47μH. A 15 μH inductor is typically available in a smaller or lower-profile package, while a 47μH inductor produces lower inductor current ripple. If the output current is limited by the peak curr ent limit of the IC, using a 47 μH inductor can maximize the converter’s output current capability. The tolerance of i nductors can be ranging from 10 % to 30 %. The inductance will further dec rease 20% to 35% from the value of zero bias current depending on the definition of saturation by inductor manufacturers. The basic requirements of selecting an inductor are the saturation current must be higher tha n the peak switching current and the DC rated current is higher than the average inductor current in normal operation. In buck converter, the average inductor current is equal to the total output current. The inductor value can be derived from the Equation 3. SW L X IN CCOMPOUTINCCOMPOUT fx IV )V-V-(V x )V(V (3) Where ΔIL is the inductor peak-to-peak ripple current. VOUT = 5 V (output voltage at no load). VCCOMP is the cable compensation voltage measured at the CSP pin. VIN is the input voltage. fSW is the switching frequency. Lower inductor value results in higher ripple current and vice versa. Choose inductor ripple current approximately 30% of the maximum load current, 3.4A, or ΔI L = 1.02A. By subtitling V IN(typ.), VOUT, VCCOMP, ΔIL and fSW(typ.) into the above equ ation, the inductor value, L, is 30.7 μH. The comm on inductor value is 33μH. The saturation current of the inductor must be higher than the maximum output current, 3.4A, plus half of the inductor ripple current in worst case, i.e. highest operating V IN(36V), lowest fSW(107kHz), lowest inductor value(-10 ~ -30% from nominal value), to prevent the core from saturation. Table 3 lists a typical toroid inductor that meet target applications for the design requirements.
Table 3. Recommended Toroid Inductor 22μF MLCC is sufficient for most of applications. The output capacitor is required to keep the output voltage ripple small and to ensure regulation loop stability. operation of the A7442A. These suggestions are also illustrated graphically in Figure 2 and Figure 3.
- The power path including the GND trace, the SW trace and the V IN trace should be as s hort as possible,
- The cable compensation resistor must be connected to the center point of both sensing resistors directly.
- The input decoupling MLCC should be placed as close to the V IN and GND pins as possible and
- The power path between the output MLCC, C 4, and the power inductor should be keep short and the
other terminal of the capacitor should connect to the ground plane directly to reduce noise emission.
- Keep the switching node, SW, away from the sensitive cable compensation path.
- Keep the negative terminals of input capacitor and output capacitor as close as possible.
- Use Kelvin sense connection technique from the sensing resistors, RS1 and RS2, pads directly to the CSP,
CSN1 and CSN2 pins to achieve accurate CC limit.
- Use large copper plane and thermal vias for GND for best heat dissipation and noise immunity.
