Current LimitSET Current Limit Functional Description The AAT1138 is a high performance 2A 1.2MHz synchro- nous step-down converter with a programmable current limited P-channel load switch. It is designed with the goal of high performance with precise input current con- trol under up to 2A load pulse on the step-down con- verter output. The P-channel load switch is adopted to limit the system input current. The current limit value is programmed by external resistor between SET and GND. Its fast tran- sient response time make it protect the system input power ideally. The 2A step-down converter employs internal error amplifier and compensation. It provides excellent tran- sient response, load and line regulation. Its output volt- age is programmed by an external resistor divider from 0.6V to converter input voltage. Soft start eliminates any output voltage overshoot when the enable or input volt- age is applied. Dropout mode makes the converter increase the switch duty cycle to 100% and the output voltage tracks the input voltage minus the R DS(ON) drop of the P-channel high-side MOSFET of the converter. The AAT1138's input voltage range is 2.5V to 5.5V. Two independent enable pins control the load switch and step-down converter separately. The converter efficiency has been optimized for all load conditions, ranging from no load to 2A. Step-Down Converter Control Loop The internal DC-DC converter of the AAT1138 is a peak current mode synchronous step-down converter. The current through the P-channel MOSFET (high side) is sensed for current loop control, as well as short circuit and overload protection. A slope compensation signal is added to the sensed current to maintain stability for duty cycles greater than 50%. The peak current mode loop

The output of the voltage error amplifier programs the current mode loop for the necessary peak switch current to force a constant output voltage for all load and line conditions. Internal loop compensation terminates the transconductance voltage error amplifier output. For fixed voltage versions, the error amplifier reference voltage is internally set to pro- gram the converter output voltage. For the adjustable output, the error amplifier reference is fixed at 0.6V. Current Limit The AAT1138 includes two kinds of current limit. One is input current limit by the load switch; the other is induc- tor current limit by the high-side MOSFET current sense loop of the step-down converter. For overload conditions, the input current is limited by R SET and the peak inductor current is limited to 3.5A. To minimize power dissipation and stresses under current limit and short-circuit condi- tions, step-down converter switching is terminated after entering current limit for a series of pulses. The termina- tion lasts for seven consecutive clock cycles after a cur- rent limit has been sensed during a series of four con- secutive clock cycles. Over-Temperature Protection Thermal protection completely disables load switch and step-down converter switching when internal dissipation becomes excessive. The junction over-temperature threshold is 125°C with 10°C of hysteresis. Once an over-temperature or over-current fault condition is removed, the output voltage automatically recovers. Enable/Soft Start AAT1138 has two independent enable pins: ENSYS and ENBUCK. When ENSYS is pulled high, the current limit load switch is turned off and SYSOUT drops to zero. When ENBUCK is pulled low, the step-down converter is forced into the low-power, no-switching state. Soft start of the step-down converter limits the current surge seen at the input and eliminates output voltage overshoot. Dropout Operation When the step-down converter input voltage V PVIN is close to the value of the output voltage, the main switch is allowed to remain on for more than one switching cycle and increases the duty cycle until it reaches 100%. The duty cycle D of a step-down converter is defined as: VOUT VIN D = TON · fOSC · 100% = · 100% Where TON is the main switch on time and fOSC is the oscil- lator frequency 1.2MHz. The output voltage then is the input voltage minus the voltage drop across the main switch and the inductor. At low input supply voltage, the R DS(ON) of the P-channel MOSFET increases, and the effi- ciency of the converter decreases. Caution must be exer- cised to ensure the heat dissipated does not exceed the maximum junction temperature of the IC.

Application Information

Setting the Load Switch Current Limit The AAT1138's load switch current limit can be pro- grammed by an external resistor R SET from SET to GND. In most applications, the variation in I LIM must be taken into account when determining R SET. The ILIM variation is due to processing variations from part to part, as well as variations in the voltages at SYSIN and SYSOUT, plus the operating temperature. Together, these three factors add up to a ±25% tolerance (see load switch I LIM specification in Electrical Characteristics section). Figure 1 illustrates a cold device with a statistically higher current limit and a hot device with a statistically lower current limit, both with R SET equal to 10.3kΩ. A 10.3kΩ RSET resistor sets the typical current limit to 0.665A. This figure shows that the actual current limit will be at least 0.5A and no greater than 0.83A. VSYSOUT (VV) ISYSOUT (A) 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2 0.83A 0.5A At 85°C At -40°C Figure 1: Load Switch Current Limit (RSET = 10.3kΩ). Though the relationship between typical I LIM and R SET is not linear throughout the current limit setting range, there is constant coefficient between them within a small enough current limit range for the system designer to select a suitable R SET value. Table 1 shows the current limit range using a standard 1% metal film resistor. To determine R SET, start with the maximum allowable input current from SYSIN as minimum ILIM and multiply by 1.33 to derive the typical I LIM value. Next, refer to Table 1 to find the constant coefficient ILIM range which includes the calculated ILIM value and get the constant coefficient value c. Then calculate the RSET by the following formula: RSET = RSET_Max - (ILIM - ILIM_Range_Low ) · c RSET_Max is the maximum standard R SET resistance at the certain constant coefficient current limit range. I LIM is the calculated typical current limit. ILIM_Range_Low is the low terminal of the current limit range. c is the coefficient of the current limit range. Example: Select R SET for 500mA current limit. The typical current limit is I LIM = 500 · 1.33 = 665mA. The constant coefficient current range is 600mA to 700mA and c = 25000. Therefore: RSET = 13kΩ - (665mA - 600mA) · 25000 = 11.375kΩ Select a standard 11.3k Ω resistor for R SET. Considering the ±25% tolerance, the current limit will be greater than 500mA but less than 831mA. ILIM Typ.

Dropout Voltage Dropout voltage is determined by RDS(ON) and the current passing through it. AAT1138 load switch maximum R DS(ON) is 180mΩ for USB applicationa and the step-down converter high side RDS(ON) is maximum 200mΩ. So for a 500mA load switch current limit setting (the load switch always limits below 831mA as described above), the load switch maximum dropout voltage can be calculated by: VDropout_Switch = 831mA · 180mΩ = 0.15V

At this time, CSYSOUT has the important role of providing enough current and voltage to the step-down converter input to bring it into regulation. The duty cycle of the heavy load pulse should not exceed the maximum value which allows sufficient time to charge C SYSOUT from VIN and balance the capacitor charging and discharging to make the operation normally. Figure 2 shows the operation waveform at 5V V IN and 3.8V VOUT with a 2A load pulse applied when RSET = 11.5kΩ, CIN = 1μF, CSYSOUT = 22μF ceramic capacitor + 4x330μF tantalum capacitor, and COUTB = 22μF.

Capacitor Selection CSYSOUT Selection CSYSOUT is not only the load switch output capacitor but also the step-down converter input capacitor. It is designed to provide the additional input current and maintain the SYSOUT voltage for the step-down con- verter when load switch limits the input current from SYSIN. If the input voltage of the step-down converter PVIN and V SVIN) is lower than the V OUT plus the dropout voltage, the AAT1138 enters dropout mode. CSYSOUT minimum value can be calculated by the following steps: First, calculate the allowed maximum delta voltage on CSYSOUT to keep Vout in regulation: ∆VSYSOUT = VIN - VOUT - VDropout_Switch - VDropout_Buck Second, calculate the required input current at SYSOUT for the step-down converter: IBUCKIN = VOUT · IOUT (VIN - VDropout_Switch) · η Next, calculate the maximum current CSYSOUT should pro- vide: ICSYSOUT = IBUCKIN - ILIM Finally, derive the CSYSOUT at certain load on period T ON. CSYSOUT_Min = ICSYSOUT · TON ΔVSYSOUT Example: A 2A 217Hz 12.5% load pulse is applied on 3.8V VOUT in 5V VIN and 500mA load switch current limit. Under the condition, V Dropout_Switch is 0.15V. V Dropout_Buck is 0.4V. Therefore:

IBUCKIN = = 1.74A3.8 · 2 (5 - 0.15) · 90% ICSYSOUT = 1.74 - 0.5 = 1.24A TON is 576μs for a 217Hz 12.5% duty cycle load pulse. CSYSOUT_Min = = 1099μF 1.24A · 576μs 0.65V Considering 20% capacitance tolerance, the minimum capacitance should be 1319μF. So select 4x330μF tanta- lum capacitor as C SYSOUT, as well as an additional 22 μF ceramic capacitor to closely filter the input voltage V SYSOUT of the step-down converter on the PCB board. COUTB Selection The value of output capacitance is generally selected to limit output voltage ripple to the level required by the specification. Since the ripple current in the output inductor is usually determined by L, V OUT and V IN, the series impedance of the capacitor primarily determines the output voltage ripple. The three elements of the capacitor that contribute to its impedance (and output voltage ripple) are equivalent series resistance (ESR), equivalent series inductance (ESL), and capacitance (C). The formula below gives the general output voltage rip- ple calculation: ∆VOUT ≤ · ESR + VOUT · (VIN - VOUT) VIN · fOSC · L 8 · fOSC · COUT The output voltage droop due to a load transient is dominated by the capacitance of the output capacitor. During a step increase in load current, the output capac- itor alone supplies the load current until the loop responds. Within three switching cycles, the loop responds and the inductor current increases to match the load current demand. The relationship of the output voltage droop during the three switching cycles to the output capacitance can be estimated by: COUT = 3 · ΔILOAD VDROOP · FOSC In many practical designs, to get the required ESR, a capacitor with much more capacitance than is needed must be selected. For both continuous and discontinuous inductor current mode operation, the ESR of the C OUT needed to limit the ripple to ΔVO, V peak-to-peak is: ESR ≤ ΔVO ΔIL ESL can be a problem by causing ringing in the low megahertz region but can be controlled by choosing low ESL capacitors, limiting lead length (PCB and capacitor), and replacing one large device with several smaller ones connected in parallel. In conclusion, in order to meet the requirement of low output voltage ripple and regulation loop stability, ceram- ic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommend- ed due to their low ESR and high ripple current ratings. A 22μF ceramic capacitor can satisfy most applications. Inductor Selection For most designs, the AAT1138 operates with inductor values of 2.0μH to 6.8μH. Inductors with low inductance values are physically smaller but generate higher induc- tor current ripple leading to higher output voltage ripple. Refer to the “Capacitor Selection” section of this datasheet for the output ripple calculation. The inductor ripple cur- rent can be derived from the following equation: ∆IL ≤ VOUT · (VIN - VOUT) VIN · fOSC · L Large value inductors lower ripple current and small value inductors result in high ripple currents. Choose inductor ripple current approximately 30% of the maxi- mum load current 2A, or ∆IL = 600mA Manufacturer’s specifications list both the inductor DC current rating, which is a thermal limitation, and the peak current rating, which is determined by the satura- tion characteristics. The inductor should not show any appreciable saturation under normal load conditions. The DC current rating of the inductor should be at least equal to the maximum load current plus half the inductor rip- ple current to prevent core saturation (2A + 300mA).

Layout Guidance When laying out the PC board, the following layout guidelines should be followed to ensure proper operation of the AAT1138: 1. The exposed pad (EP) must be reliably soldered to the GND plane. A GND pad below EP is strongly rec- ommended. 2. The power traces, including the GND trace, the SW trace and the SYSIN, SYSOUT trace should be kept short, direct and wide to allow large current flow. The L1 connection to the SW pins should be as short as possible. Do not put any signal lines under the inductor. 3. The input capacitor (C1 and C21) should connect as closely as possible to SYSIN and SYSOUT and GND to get good power filtering. 4. Keep the switching node, SW away from the sensi- tive FB node. 5. The feedback trace should be separate from any power trace and connect as closely as possible to the load point. Sensing along a high-current load trace will degrade DC load regulation. External feedback resistors should be placed as closely as possible to the FB pin to minimize the length of the high imped- ance feedback trace. 6. The resistance of the trace from the load return to GND should be kept to a minimum. This will help to minimize any error in DC regulation due to differ- ences in the potential of the internal signal ground and the power ground.
