OPERATION The MP9151 is a high frequency synchronous rectified step-down switch mode converter with built in internal power MOSFETs. It offers a very compact solution to achieve more than 4A continuous output current over a wide input supply range with excellent load and line regulation. The MP9151 operates in a fixed frequency, peak current control mode to reg ulate the output voltage. A PWM cycle is initiated by the internal clock. The integrated high -side power MOSFET is turned on and remains on until its current reaches the value set by the COMP voltage. When the power switch is off, it remains off until the next clock cycle starts. If, in 95% of one PWM period, the current in the power MOSFET does not reach the COMP set current value, the power MOSFET will be forced to turn off. Error Amplifier The error amplifier compares the FB pin voltage with the interna l 0. 795V reference (REF) and outputs a current proportional to the difference between the two. This output current is then used to charge or discharge the internal compensation network to form the COMP voltage, which is used to control the power MOSFET cur rent. The optimized internal compensation network minimizes the external component counts and simplifies the control loop design. Internal Regulator Most of the internal circuitries are powered from the 5V internal regulator. This regulator takes the VIN input and operates in the full VIN range. When VIN is greater than 5.0V, the output of the regulator is in full regulation. When VIN is lower than 5.0V, the output decreases, a 1uF ceramic capacitor for decoupling purpose is required. Enable Control The MP9151 has a dedicated enable control pin (EN): pulling it high enables the IC, pulling it low disables it. Float EN for automatic start up. EN must be pulled low to disable the part. The EN pin is clamped internally using a 6.7V series-Zener-diode as shown in Figure 2 Connect the EN input pin through a pullup resistor to any voltage connected to the VIN pin such that the pullup resistor limits the EN input current to less than 100µA. For example, connecting 12V to VIN, R PULLUP ≥ Connecting the EN pin is directly to a voltage source without any pullup resistor requires limiting the amplitude of the voltage source to below 6V to prevent damage to the Zener diode. Figure 2: Zener Diode between EN and GND The EN pin also features a n internal 2.3μA current source. Connect a capacitor to the EN pin for delayed startup. When VIN exceeds the input UVLO, an internal 2.3μA current source charges the external capacitor. The external capacitor connects to the non -inverting input of a compar ator. The part is enabled once the capacitor voltage exceeds the 1.5V internal reference voltage. Power Good Indicator The MP9151 has an open drain pin for power good indicator. When FB pin is higher than 90% of regulation voltage, 0. 795V, PG pin is pulled up to VCC by the external resistor. If FB pin voltage drop down to 80% of the regulation voltage, PG pin is pulled down to ground by an internal MOS FET. Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) is implemented to protect the chip from ope rating at insufficient supply voltage. The MP9151 UVLO comparator monitors the output voltage of the internal regulator, VCC. The UVLO rising threshold is about 4. 1V while its falling threshold is a consistent 3.25V.

MP9151 – 20V, 4A SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN CONVERTER MP9151 Rev. 1.0 www.MonolithicPower.com 11 3/20/2013 MPS Proprietary Information. Patent Protected. Unauthorized Photocopy and Duplication Prohibited. © 2013 MPS. All Rights Reserved. External Soft-Start The soft start ti me can be adjusted by connecting a capacitor from this pin to ground. When the soft-start period starts, an internal 8μA current source begins charging the external capacitor. During soft-start, the voltage on the soft -start capacitor is connected to the non-inverting input of the error amplifier. The soft-start period lasts until the voltage on the soft-start capacitor exceeds the reference voltage of 0. 795V. At this point the reference voltage takes over at the no inverting error amplifier input. The soft -start time can be calculated as follows: SS SS 0.795V C (nF)t (ms) 8A If the output of the MP9151 is pre-biased to a certain voltage during startup, the IC will disable the switching of both high -side and low -side switches until the voltage on the internal soft - start capacitor exceeds the sensed output voltage at the FB pin. Power Save Mode for Light Load Condition The MP 9151 has AAM (Advanced Asynchronous Modulation) power save mode for light load. The AAM voltage is set at 0. 4V internally. Under the heavy load condition, the VCOMP is higher than V AAM. When clock goes high, the high -side power MOSFET turns on and remains on until VILsense reaches the value set by the COMP voltage. The internal clock resets every time when V COMP is higher than VAAM. Under the light load condition, the value of VCOMP is low. When VCOMP is less than VAAM and VFB is less than V REF, V COMP ramps u p until it exceeds V AAM, during this time, the internal clock is blocked, thus the MP 9151 skips some pulses for PFM (Pulse Frequency Modulation) mode and achieves the light load power save. Figure 3: Simplified AAM Control Logic When the load current is light, the inductor peak current set internally is about 630mA and the load current threshold exit AAM is about 0.3A for VIN=12V, VOUT=3.3V, and L=2.2μH. Over-Current-Protection The MP9151 has hiccup over current limit when the inductor current peak value exceeds the set current limit threshold. When output voltage drops below 70% of the reference, and inductor current exceeds the current limit at the meantime, MP9151 will be hiccup. This is especially useful to ensure system safety under fault condition. The hiccup function is disabled during soft -start duration. Thermal Shutdown Thermal shutdown is implemented to prevent the chip from operating at ex ceedingly high temperatures. When the silicon die temperature is higher than 150 C, it shuts down the whole chip. When the temperature is lower than its lower threshold, typically 1 20 C, the chip is enabled again. Floating Driver and Bootstrap Charging The floating power MOSFET driver is powered by an external bootstrap capacitor. This floating driver has its own UVLO protection. This UVLO’s rising threshold is 2.2V with a hysteresis of 150mV. The bootstrap capacitor voltage is regulated internally by VIN t hrough D1, M1, C4, L1 and C2 (Figure 4). If (VIN-VSW) is more than 5V, U1 will regulate M1 to maintain a 5V BST voltage across C4.

Figure 4: Internal Bootstrap Charging Circuit Startup and Shutdown If both V IN and EN are higher than their appropriate t hresholds, the chip starts. The reference block starts first, generating stable reference voltage and currents, and then the internal regulator is enabled. The regulator provides stable supply for the remaining circuitries. Three events can shut down the c hip: EN low, VIN low and thermal shutdown. In the shutdown procedure, the signaling path is first blocked to avoid any fault triggering. The COMP voltage and the internal supply rail are then pulled down. The floating driver is not subject to this shutdown command.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Setting the Output Voltage The external resistor divider is used to set the output voltage (see Typical Application on page 1). The feedback resistor R1 also sets the feedback loop bandwidth with the internal compensation capacitor (see Typical Application on page 1 ). Choose R1 to be around 10kΩ. R2 is then given by: OUT V 0.795V The T -type network is highly recommended when VOUT is low, as Figure 5 shows. Figure 5: T-type Network Table 1 lists the recommended T -type resistors value for common output voltages. Table 1: Resistor Selection for Common Output Voltages VOUT (V) R1 (kΩ) R2 (kΩ) RT (kΩ) Cff (pF) L (μH) 1 2.61 Selecting the Inductor A 1µH to 22µH inductor with a DC current rating of at least 25% percent higher than the maximum load current is recommended for most applications. For highest efficiency, the inductor DC resistance should be less t han 15mΩ. For most designs, the inductance value can be derived from the following equation. OUT IN OUT IN L OSC V (V V )L V I f Where ΔIL is the inductor ripple current. Choose inductor current to be approximately 30% of the maximum load current . The maximum inductor peak current is: III L LOAD)MAX(L Under light load conditions below 100mA, larger inductance is recommended for improved efficiency. Setting the Switching Frequency An external resistor, R FREQ, from the FREQ pin to GND sets the MP9151 oscillating frequency from 300kHz to 1.6MHz. The value of RFREQ can be calculated from: FREQ 1.1 s 28000R (k ) f (kHz) Selecting the Input Capacitor The input current to the step -down converter is discontinuous, therefore a capacitor is required to supply the AC current to the step -down converter while maintaining the DC input voltage. Use low ESR capacitors for the best performance. Ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics are highly recommended because of their low ESR and small temperature coefficients. For most application s, a 22µF capacitor is sufficient. Since the input capacitor (C1) absorbs the input switching current it requires an adequate ripple current rating. The RMS current in the input capacitor can be estimated by: IN OUT IN OUTLOAD1C V V1V VII The worse case condition occurs at VIN = 2VOUT, where: II LOAD For simplification, choose the input capacitor whose RMS current rating greater than half of the maximum load current.

When using electro lytic or tantalum capacitors, a small, high quality ceramic capacitor, i.e. 0.1μF, should be placed as close to the IC as possible. When using ceramic capacitors, make sure that they have enough capacitance to provide sufficient charge to prevent excessive voltage ripple at input. The input voltage ripple caused by capacitance can be estimated by: LOAD OUT OUT IN INS IN I V VV1 f C1 V V Selecting the Output Capacitor The output capacitor (C2) is required to maintain the DC output voltage. Ceramic, tantalum, or low ESR electrolytic capacitors are recommended. Low ESR capacitors are preferred to keep the output voltage ripple low. The output voltage ripple can be estimated by: OUT OUT OUT ESR S 1 IN S VV 1V 1 R f L V 8 f C2 Where L1 is the inductor value and RESR is the equivalent series resistance (ESR) value of the output capacitor. In the case of ceramic capacitors, the impedance at the switching frequency is dominated by the capacitance. The output voltage ripple is mainly caused by the capacitance. For simplification, the output voltage ripple can be estimated by: OUT OUT OUT 2 INS1 VVΔV 1 V8 f L C2 In the case of tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, the ESR dominates the impedance at the switching frequency. For simplification, the output ripple can be approximated to: OUT OUT OUT ESR INS1 VVΔV 1 Rf L V The characteristics of the output capacitor also affect the stability of the regulation system. The MP9151 can be optimized for a wide range of capacitance and ESR values. External Bootstrap Diode An external bootstrap diode may enhance the efficiency of the regulator, the applicable conditions of external BST diode are:  VOUT is 5V or 3.3V; and  Duty cycle is high: D= IN OUT V V >65% In these cases, an external BST diode is recommended from the VCC pin to BST pin, as shown in Figure 6. Figure 6: Add Optional External Bootstrap Diode to Enhance Efficiency The recomme nded external BST diode is IN4148, and the BST cap is 0.1~1μF. PC Board Layout This PCB board layout is referring to the schematic in Figure 7. Place the high-current paths (GND, IN and SW) very close to the device with short, direct and wide traces. The i nput decoupling capacitor needs to be placed as close as possible to the IN and GND pins. The VCC decoupling capacitor needs to be placed as close as possible to the VCC pin and multiple VIAs should be used on both the ground side of the VCC decoupling capacitor and the GND pins to connect to the inner and bottom ground plane . Place the external feedback resistors next to the FB pin. Keep the switching node SW short and away from the feedback network.
