Description
The SC220 is a 20MHz X-EMI™(1)-enabled step-down regu- lator optimized for powering low voltage rails from 2.7 to 5.5V input voltage. X-EMI™ inductor technology enables inductors to be drawn directly on the PC board. This tech- nology meets or exceeds the EMI performance of chip inductors and eliminates the need for discrete inductors. The SC220 uses a unique constant frequency, self-oscil- lating control loop architecture to provide excellent transient performance. Under light load condition, the device operates in Power Save Mode (PSAVE) and main- tains a typical quiescent current of 19μA. At moderate to heavy loads, this part operates in PWM mode with a con- stant switching frequency of 20MHz. This high switching frequency off ers the advantages of using small and low cost external components like a 1μF external capacitor and a small 220nH inductor (including X-EMI TM PCB trace inductors). The device provides adjustable output voltages down to 1.0V and an output current up to 650mA. An EN pin can be used to synchronize to an external source and includes de-glitching to reduce noise sensitivity. The SC220 is available in SOIC 8 lead package. Note 1: Purchase of SC220 includes royalty-free rights to use X-EMI TM inductor technology with no additional cost.

The SC220 is a step-down regulator capable of delivering a lower voltage from an input supply voltage of 2.7V to 5.5V with high effi ciency. Using a unique control architec- ture, the SC220 is capable of delivering a peak effi ciency of 90%, while maintaining effi ciency over 80% during light load condition. The converter operates at 20MHz switch- ing frequency with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) with moderate to heavy output load current of up to 650mA, which is referred as PWM mode. Under light-load condi- tion, the converter operates in Power Save (PSAVE) mode. Control Scheme The SC220 operates with a self-oscillating control method based on the output voltage ripple. This control loop com- pares the output voltage to an internal 1V reference to regulate the output voltage directly, adjusting the turn-on and turn-off time of the power switches such that the output voltage is held at a precise value. This architecture gives a single-cycle response to transient events. To maintain constant frequency, a phase locked loop (PLL) is included to synchronize the switching with an internal clock. This PLL adjusts the effective upper and lower thresholds of the comparator, thus maintaining a constant frequency. Under transient conditions the voltage control loop determines the required switching pattern to best maintain the output voltage. After a short transient, the PLL will bring the switching frequency back to normal. At extreme duty cycles, where the frequency control loop may not be able to maintain frequency lock even under steady-state conditions, frequency may fall, but the output voltage regulation will be maintained by the main voltage control loop. This unique architecture helps to achieve the excellent line and load transient response. Operating Modes The SC220 operates in two modes over a wide range of load currents. Under moderate to heavy load conditions, it operates in PWM mode with the switching frequency held constant. Under light-load condition, the converter enters PSAVE mode automatically. With the typical 220nH inductor, the transition between PWM and PSAVE mode typically occurs in the range of 100-200mA, depending on the input and output voltages. Under very light load condition, the SC220 maintains high effi ciency by shut- ting down all but the most essential circuit blocks, maintaining a typical quiescent current of about 19μA. In this mode, some circuitry used to control absolute DC accuracy is turned off . In that case, there may be a small DC shift (tens of millivolts) between normal operation and this “no-load” state. However, in the case of a load transient, the system will turn on the high-side FET within nanoseconds as a discontinuous pulse is issued. The tran- sition to PWM mode can occur within that nominal on-time, giving superior no load to full load transient response. The transition from PWM mode to PSAVE mode is con- trolled by sensing the minimum value of the ripple current. When it drops below a threshold level for 32 consecutive cycles, the transition to PSAVE mode is initi- ated. Once in PSAVE mode, the regulation is maintained by modulating the time between fi xed current pulses. When a new pulse is required by the loop before the existing pulse has terminated, the loop determines that the load cannot be maintained in PSAVE mode. This prompts an instantaneous switch from PSAVE mode back to PWM mode. Enable and Start-up The SC220 is enabled by applying a voltage higher than 1.2V on the EN pin, and it is disabled when the applied voltaga is pulled below the logic low threshold. The EN pin can also be used to set the switching frequency: if a digital clock is fed to EN, the SC220 will sense this as a valid enable signal and the external clock will be used rather than the internal 20MHz oscillator. The SC220 has an internal soft start circuit that limits the inrush current during start-up with a stepped current limit. Over the course of about 40μs, the SC220 is stepped in increments of one quarter of the nominal current limit to full current limit, thereby reducing the worst-case surge current that might otherwise be refl ected to the input current. Current Limit The SC220 integrates a current limit feature to protect itself and the external components under overload con- Applications InformationApplications Information

Applications Information (Cont.) PCB Layout Considerations PCB Layout is important in designing a switching regula- tor. A few fundamental layout considerations will help to achieve the specified performance. Poor layout can degrade the performance of the switching regulator and may contribute to EMI problems, ground bounce, and possibly poor regulation and instability. The following guidelines are recommended when devel- oping a PCB layout: The input capacitor, C IN should be placed as close to the PVIN and PGND pins as possible. This capacitor provides a low impedance loop for the pulsed currents present at the buck converter’s input. Use short wide traces to connect this capacitor as close to the IC as possible. This will minimize EMI and input voltage ripple by localizing the high frequency current pulses. Keep the SW pin traces as short as possible to minimize the pickup of high frequency switching edges to other parts of the circuit. The output capacitor, C OUT and the inductor should be put as close as possible to the related pins of the IC, and connected as close as possible between the SW and ground pins. Route the output voltage feedback/sense path from the output capacitor path, and away from the inductor and SW node to minimize the possible noise and magnetic interference to the output feedback/ sense path. Use a ground plane referenced to the PGND pin, and the ground connection of the input and output capacitors should be put on this plane and close to each other if possible, and as close to the PGND pin as possible. Use several vias to connect to the component side ground to further reduce noise and interference on sensitive circuit nodes. If possible, minimize the resistance from the VOUT and AGND pins to the load. This will reduce the voltage drop on the ground plane and improve the load regulation. And it will also improve the overall effi ciency by reducing the copper losses on the output and ground planes.
