DESCRIPTION
The MPQ8636 is a fully-integrated, high- frequency, synchronous, rectified, step-down, switch-mode converter. It offers a very compact solution to achieve 10A/20A output current over a wide input supply range, with excellent load and line regulation. The MPQ8636 operates at high efficiency over a wide output-current–load range. The MPQ8636 uses Constant-On-Time (COT) control to provide a fast transient response and ease loop stabilization. An external resistor programs the operating frequency from 200kHz to 1MHz , and the frequency keeps nearly constant as input supply varies with the feed -forward compensation. The default under-voltage lockout threshold is internally set at 4.1V, but a resistor network on the enable pin can increase this threshold. The soft-start pin controls the output-voltage startup ramp. An ope n-drain power -good signal indicates that the output is within nominal voltage range. It has fully-integrated protection features that include over-current protection , over-voltage protection and thermal shutdown. The MPQ8636 requires a minim al number of readily-available standard external components and is available in a 16-Pin QFN 3mm×4mm or a 29-Pin QFN 5mm×4mm package.

Unauthorized Photocopy and Duplication Prohibited. © 2013 MPS. All Rights Reserved. Configuring the EN Control The regulator turns on when EN goes HIGH; conversely it turns off when EN goes low. Do not float the pin. For automatic start-up. pull the EN pin up to input voltage through a resistive voltage div ider. Choose the values of the pull -up resistor ( RUP from the IN pin to the EN pin) and the pull -down resistor (RDOWN from the EN pin to GND) to determine the automatic start-up voltage: UP DOWN IN START DOWN (R R )V 1.5 (V) R (9) For example, for R UP=100kΩ and R DOWN=51kΩ, the VIN-START is set at 4. 44V. To reduce noise, add a 10nF ceramic capacitor from EN to GND. An internal zener diode on the EN pin clamps the EN pin voltage to prevent runaway. The maximum pull -up current , assuming the worst- case 6V, for the internal zener clamp should be less than 1mA. Therefore, when driving EN with an external logic signal, use an EN voltage less than 6V . When connecting EN to IN through a pull-up resistor or a resistive voltage divider, select a resistance that ensures a maximum pull -up current of less than 1mA. If using a resistive voltage divider and V IN exceeds 6V, then the minimum resistance for the pull-up resistor, RUP, should meet: IN UP DOWN V 6V 6V 1 mARR (10) With only RUP (the pull -down resistor , R DOWN, is not connect ed), the n the VCC UVLO threshold determines VIN-START, so the minimum resistor value is: IN UP V 6VR ( ) 1 mA (11) A typical pull-up resistor is 100kΩ. Soft Start The MPQ8636 employs a soft start (SS) mechanism to ensure a smooth output during power-up. When the EN pin goes HIGH, an internal current source ( 20μA) charges the SS capacitor. The SS capacitor voltage overtakes the REF voltage to the PWM comparator. The output voltage smoothly ramps up with the SS voltage. Once the SS voltage reaches the REF voltage, it continues ramping up while VREF takes over the PWM comparator. At this point, soft-start finishes and the device enters steady -state operation. Determine the SS capacitor value as follows: SS SS SS REF ms I AC nF VV (12) If the output capac itors are large, then avoid setting a short SS time or risk hitting the current limit during SS. Use a minimum value of 4.7nF if the output capacitance value exceeds 330μF. Pre-Bias Startup The MPQ8636 has been designed for monotonic startup into pre-biased loads. If the output is pre - biased to a certain voltage during startup, the IC will disable switching for both high-side and low- side switches until the voltage on the soft -start capacitor exceeds the sensed output voltage at the FB pin. Power Good (PG) The MPQ8636 has a power-good (PG) output. The PG pin is the open drain of a MOSFET. Connect it to VCC or some other voltage source that measures less than 5.5V through a pull-up resistor (typically 100kΩ). After applying the input voltage, the MOSFET turns on so that the PG pin is pulled to GND before the SS is ready. After the FB voltage reaches 9 1% of the REF voltage, the PG pin is pulled HIGH after a 2.5ms delay. When the FB voltage drops to 80% of the REF voltage or exceeds 12 0% of the nominal REF voltage, the PG pin is pulled LOW. If the input DC source fails to power the MPQ8636, the PG pin is also pulled low

Unauthorized Photocopy and Duplication Prohibited. © 2013 MPS. All Rights Reserved. even though this pin is tied to an external DC source through a pull -up resistor (typically 100kΩ). Over-Current Protection (OCP) The MPQ8636 features three current -limit levels for over-current conditions: high-side peak current limit, low-side valley current limit and low- side negative current limit. However, the OCP operation me chanism of MPQ8636 and MPQ8636H are different. For MPQ8636GLE-10: High-Side Peak Current Limit : The part has a cycle-by-cycle over-current limiting function. The device monitors the inductor current during the HS-FET ON state. When the sensed inductor current hits the peak current limit, the output of over-current comparator goes HIGH, the device enters OCP mode immediately and turns off the HS-FET and turns on the LS-FET. Low-Side Valley Current Limit : The device also monitors the inductor current during the LS-FET ON stat e. When ILIM=1 and a t the end of the OFF time, the LS -FET sourcing current is compared to the internal positive -valley–current limit. If the valley current limit is less than the LS- FET sourcing current, the HS -FET remains OFF and the LS-FET remains ON for the next ON time. When the LS-FET sourcing current drops below the valley current limit , the HS -FET turn s on again. For MPQ8636H-10 and MPQ8636-20: The part enter s OCP mode if only the LS-FET sourcing valley current exceeds the valley current limit. Once the OCP is triggered, the LS -FET keeps ON state until the LS-FET sourcing valley current is less than the valley current limit . And then the LS -FET turns off, the HS -FET turns on for a fixed time determined by frequency-set resistor RFREQ and input voltage. During OCP, the device tries to recover from the over-current fault with hiccup mode : the chip disables the output power stage, discharges the soft-start capacitor and then automatically retries soft-start. If the over-current condition still holds after soft-start ends, the device repeats this operation cycle until the over-current conditions disappear and then output rises back to regulation level: OCP offers non-latch protection. Low-Side Negative Current Limit: If the sensed LS-FET negative current ex ceeds the negative current limit , the LS -FET turn s off immediately and stays OFF for the remainder of the OFF period. In this situation, both MOSFETs are OFF until the end of a fixed interval. The HS-FET body diode conducts the inductor current for the fix ed time. Over-Voltage Protection (OVP) The MPQ8636 monitors the output voltage using the FB pin connected to the tap of a resistor divider to detect output over-voltage. MPQ8636 and MPQ8636H provide Latch -Off and Non - Latch OVP mode as showed in Table 1. Table 1—OVP Mode OVP Mode Non-Latch Mode Latch-Off Mode Part # MPQ8636H-10 MPQ8636-20 MPQ8636-10 For MPQ8636-10: If the FB voltage exceeds the nominal REF voltage but remains lower than 120% of the REF voltage (0.611V), both MOSFETs are off. If t he FB vol tage exceeds 120% of the REF voltage but remains below 130% , the LS -FET turns on while the HS -FET remains off. The LS- FET remains on until the FB voltage drops below 110% of the REF voltage or the low -side negative current limit is hit. If the FB voltage exceeds 130% of the REF voltage, then the device is latched off. Need cycle the input power supply or EN to restart. For MPQ8636H-10 and MPQ8636-20: Even the FB voltage exceeds 130% of the REF voltage, the part enter s a non -latch off mode. Once the FB volt age comes back to the reasonable value, they will exit this OVP mode and operate normally again. UVLO Protection The MPQ8636 has under-voltage lockout protection (UVLO). When the VCC voltage exceeds the UVLO rising -threshold

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Selecting the Output-Voltage-Large-ESR Capacitors For applications that electrolytic capacitor or POS capacitor with a large ESR i s set as output capacitors. The feedback resistors—R1 and R2, as shown in Figure 7—set the output voltage. ESR POSCAP SW VOUTL FB Figure 7—Simplified POSCAP Circuit First, choose a value for R2 that balances between high quiescent current loss (low R2) and high noise sensitivity on FB (high R2). A typical value falls within 5kΩ to 50kΩ, using a comparatively larger R2 when V OUT is low, and a smaller R2 when VOUT is high. Then calculate R1 as follows, which considers the output ripple: OUT OUT REF REF 1V V V 2R1 R2 V (13) Where OUTV is the output ripple determined by equation 22. Selecting the Output-Voltage Small-ESR Capacitors Ceramic SW FB VOUTL R4 C4 Figure 8—Simplified Ceramic Capacitor Circuit When using a low-ESR ceramic capacitor on the output, add an external voltage ramp to the FB pin consisting of R4 and C4. The ramp voltage, VRAMP, and the resistor divider influence the output voltage , as shown in Figure 8. Calculate VRAMP as shown in equation 6. Select R2 to balance between high quiescent current loss and FB noise sensitiv ity. Choose R2 within 5kΩ to 50kΩ, using a larger R2 when V OUT is low, and a smaller R2 when V OUT is high. Determine the value of R1 as follows: R9R4 VV V R2R1 FB(AVG)OUT FB(AVG) (14) Where VFB(AVG) is the average FB voltage. VFB(AVG) varies with the V IN, V OUT, and load condition , where the load regulation is strictly related to the VFB(AVG). Also the line regulation is related to the VFB(AVG); improving the load or line regulation involves a lower VRAMP that meets equation 8. For PWM operation, estimate VFB(AVG) from equation 15. 9R2R//1R 2R//1RV2 1VV RAM PREF)AVG(FB Usually, R9 is 0Ω, though it can also be set following equation 16 for better noise immunity. It should also be less than 20% of R1//R2 to minimize its influence on VRAMP.

(16) Using equation s 14 and 15 to calculate the output voltage can be com plicated. To simplify the R1 calculation in equation 14, add a DC - blocking capacitor, CDC, to filter the DC influence from R4 and R9. Figure 9 shows a simplified circuit with external ramp compensation and a DC-blocking capacitor. The addition of this capacitor, simplifies the R1 calculation as per equation 17 for PWM mode operation.

To use a larger CDC for better FB noise immunity, reduce R1 and R2 to limit effects on system start-up. Note that even with CDC, the load and line regulation are still related to VRAMP. Ceramic SW FB VOUTL CDC R4 C4 Figure 9—Simplified Ceramic Capacitor Circuit with DC-Blocking Capacitor Input Capacitor The input current to the step -down converter is discontinuous, and therefore, requires a capacitor to supply the AC current to the step - down converter while maintaining the DC inp ut voltage. Use ceramic capacitors for best performance. During layout, place the input capacitors as close to the IN pin as possible. The capacitance can vary significantly with temperature. Use capacitors with X5R and X7R ceramic dielectrics because the y are fairly stable over a wide temperature range. The capacitors must also have a ripple current rating that exceeds the converter’s maximum input ripple current. Estimate the input ripple current as follows: V1(V VII IN OUT IN OUT OUTCIN (18) The worst-case condition occurs at V IN = 2VOUT, where: II OUT CIN (19) For simplification, choose an input capacitor with an RMS current rating that exceeds half the maximum load current. The input capacitance value determines the converter input voltage ri pple. Select a capacitor value that meets any input-voltage–ripple requirements. Estimate the input voltage ripple as follows: V(1V V Cf IΔV IN OUT IN OUT INSW OUT The worst-case condition occurs at V IN = 2VOUT, where: INSW OUT IN Cf I 1ΔV (21) Output Capacitor The output capacitor maintain s the DC output voltage. Use ceramic capacitors or POSCAP s. Estimate the output voltage ripple as: )Cf8 1(R)V V(1Lf VΔV OUTSW ESR IN OUT SW OUT OUT (22) When using ceramic capacitors, the capacitance dominates the impedance at the switching frequency. The capacitance also dominates the output voltage ripple. For simplification, estimate the output voltage ripple as: V(1 CLf8 VΔV IN OUT OUT SW OUT OUT (23) The ESR only contributes minimally to the output voltage ripple, thus requiring an external ramp to stabilize the system. Design the external ramp with R4 and C4 as per equations 4, 7 and 8. The ESR dominates the switching -frequency impedence for POSCAPs. The ESR ramp voltage is high enough to stabilize the system , thus eliminating the need for an external r amp. Select a minimum ESR value around 12mΩ to ensure stable converter operation. For simplification, the output r ipple can be approximated as: ESR IN OUT SW OUT OUT R)V V(Lf Inductor The inductor suppl ies constant current to the output load while being driven by the swi tching input voltage.

Generally, select an inductor value that allows the inductor peak-to-peak ripple current to equal 30% to 40% of the maximum switch current limit. Also, design for a peak inductor current that is below the maximum switch current limit. The inductance value can be calculated as: V(If VL IN OUT LSW Where ΔI L is the peak -to-peak inductor ripple current. Choose an inductor that will not saturate under the maximum inductor peak current. The peak inductor current can be calculated as: V(Lf VII IN OUT SW OUT Table 2 lists a few highly -recommended high - efficiency inductors.
