May25-07 RevH SP6652 1A, High Efficiency, Current Mode PWM Buck Regulator © 2007 Sipex Corporation Current Mode Control and Slope Compensation The SP6652 is designed to use low value ceramic capacitors and low value inductors to reduce the converter’s volume and cost in portable devices. Current mode PWM control was, therefore, chosen for the ease of compensation when using ceramic output capacitors and better transient line rejec - tion, which is important in battery powered applications. Current mode control spreads the two poles of the output power train filter far apart so that the modulator gain crosses over at -20dB/decade instead of the usual -40dB/decade. The external compensation network is, simply, a series RC circuit con- nected between ground and the output of the internal transconductance error amplifier. It is well known that an unconditional insta- bility exists for any fixed frequency current- mode converter operating above 50% duty cycle. A simple, constant-slope compensa- tion is chosen to achieve stability under these conditions. The most common high duty cycle application is a Li-Ion battery powered regulator with a 3.3V output (D ≥ 90%). Since the current loop is critically damped when the compensation slope (denoted MCV) equals the negative discharge slope (denoted M2V), the amount of slope compensation chosen is, therefore: M2 = dI L/dTOFF =-VOUT/L = -3.3V/4.7µH = -702mA/µs MV = M•RPMOS MCV = -MV = 702mA/µs•0.2Ω = 140mV/µs, for RPMOS = 0.20Ω The inductor current is sensed as a voltage across the PMOS charging switch and the NMOS synchronous rectifier (see BLOCK DIAGRAM). During inductor current charge, V(PVIN)-V(LX) represents the charging cur- rent ramp times the resistance of the PMOS charging switch. To keep the effective current slope compensation constant (remembering current is being compensated, not voltage) the voltage slope must be proportional to RPMOS. To account for this, the slope com - pensation voltage is internally generated with a bias current that is also proportional to RPMOS. Over Current Protection In steady state closed loop operation the voltage at the COMP pin controls the duty cycle. Due to the current mode control and the slope compensation, this voltage will be: V(COMP)•{ILPK•RPMOS + MCV•TON + VBE(Q1)} The COMP node will be clamped when its voltage tries to exceed V( BLIM) + V BE(Q1). The VBE(Q1) term is cancelled by V BE(Q2) at the output of the translator. The correct value of clamp voltage is, therefore: V(BLIM) = IL(MAX)• RPMOS + MCV •TON The I L(MAX) term is generated with a bias current that is proportional to R PMOS, to keep the value of current limit approximately constant over process and temperature variations, while the MCV •TON is generated by a peak-holding circuit that senses the amplitude of the slope compensation ramp at the end of TON. There is minimum on-time (TON) generated even if the COMP node is at zeroV, since the peak current comparator is reset at the end of a charge cycle and is held low during a blanking time after the start of the next charge cycle. This is necessary to swamp the transients in the inductor current ramp around switching times. The minimum TON (100ns, nominally) is not sufficient for the COMP node to keep control of the current DetaileD Description

May25-07 RevH SP6652 1A, High Efficiency, Current Mode PWM Buck Regulator © 2007 Sipex Corporation when the output voltage is low. The inductor current tends to rise until the energy loss from the discharge resistances are equal to the energy gained during the charge phase. For this reason, the clock frequency is cut in half when the feedback pin is below 0.3V, ef- fectively reducing the minimum duty cycle in half. Above V(FB) = 0.3V the clock frequency is normal (see Typical Operating Character- istics: Inductor Current vs. VOUT) Voltage Loop and Compensation in PWM Mode The voltage loop section of the circuit con- sists of the error amplifier and the translator circuits (see functional diagram). The input of the voltage loop is the 0.8V reference volt- age minus the divided down output voltage at the feedback pin. The output of the error amplifier is translated from a ground referred signal (the COMP node) to a power input voltage referred signal. The output of the voltage loop is fed to the positive terminal of the Current Loop comparator, and repre- sents the peak inductor current necessary to close the loop. The total power supply loop is compensated with a series RC network connected from the COMP pin to ground. Compensation is simple due to current-mode control. The modulator has two dominant poles: one at a low frequency, and one above the crossover frequency of the loop, as seen in the graph below, Linearized Modulator Frequency Response vs. Inductor Value. The low frequency pole for L1= 5µH is 4kHz, the second pole is 500kHz, and the gain-bandwidth is 20kHz. The total loop crossover frequency is chosen to be 200kHz, which is 1/6 th of the clock frequency. This sets the second modulator pole at 2.5 times the crossover frequency. Therefore the gain of the error amplifier can be 200kHz/20kHz = 10 at the first modulator pole of 4kHz. The error amp transconductance is 1mA/V , so this sets the R Z resistor value in the com - pensation network at 10/1mA/V = 10kΩ. The zero frequency is placed at the first pole to provide at total system response of -20dB/decade (the zero from the error amp cancels the first modulator pole, leaving the L1VAL 2u 3u 4u 5u 6u 7u 8u 9u 10u Mod_pole1 Mod_pole2 Gbw_modfb 12K 16K 20K1 0.4M 0.8M 1.2M 1.6M 2.0M2 10K 20K 30K 40K 50K3 1 2 3 Conditions: VIN=5V, VOUT=3.3V, fCLK=1.4MHz, COUT=10µF, and MCV=132mV/µs.

The compensation capacitor becomes: Cc = = (2π•Rz•pole1) (6.28•10kΩ•4kHz) = 4nF Soft Start Soft-start is accomplished by disconnect - ing the error amp and inserting a constant 2μA current to charge the compensation capacitor. When power is first applied and the reference establishes, the clamp circuit at the COMP node sets its voltage at one VBE, which is the bottom of the inductor current range. The soft-start current continues to charge up the COMP node, slowly raising the inductor cur- rent level. The inductor current will increase at approximately: (IREFSS / CC)• RPMOS where: IREFSS = Soft start constant current = 2μA nominally CC = Compensation capacitor RPMOS = Charging PMOS resistance For typical circuit values of C C=6.8nF and RZ=8kΩ, the soft start period is TBD ms. The inductor current will eventually rise above the required load current and the out- put voltage will charge up. During soft-start the error amp is disconnected and acts as a comparator. When V(FB) rises above the reference, the error amp switches to logic high and ends soft-start, at which point the error amp output is connected to the capaci- tated COMP node. DetaileD Description The switching frequency will be reduced to half the normal frequency as long as V( FB) is below 0.3V, as previously discussed in the Over Current Protection section. 100% Duty Cycle in Dropout To extend the battery life in portable applica- tions, the PWM control logic is set up such that if the output SR latch has not been reset by the Current Loop comparator at the end of a clock cycle, the charge signal continues to stay high into the beginning of the next cycle. This will happen naturally when the converter starts to go into dropout. The slope compensation ramp is reset every cycle. External Clock Synchronization The SP6652 has an internal 1.4MHz clock that can be defeated by connecting an ex - ternal clock pulse on the SYNC. The capture range for clock synchronization is 1.0 to 2.0MHz. When a clock pulse is present on the SYNC pin, the internal oscillator bias current is scaled back, handing control of the clock pulses to the faster external clock. The pulse width of the clock is approximately 50 ns, whether internally generated or ex - ternally applied. Thermal Shutdown The internal die temperature is monitored by a comparator that issues a “TOO HOT” sig- nal when the junction temperature reaches 140˚C, nominally. This signal that inhibits all internal circuits until the temperature has decreased to approximately 135˚C, at which point a normal soft start sequence is initiated.

The SP6652 PWM buck regulator circuit requires 3 capacitors: 10µF for the P VIN input, 1µF input bypass for the S VIN and 10µF for the output are typically recommended. For the input capacitor, a value even larger than 10µF will help reduce input voltage ripple for applications sensitive to ripple on the battery voltage. See the Typical Per - formance Characteristics section for wave- forms on input and output ripple with 10µF capacitors. All the capacitors should be surface mount ceramic for low lead induc - tance necessary at the 1.4MHz switching frequency of the SP6652 and to obtain low ESR. This also helps improve bypassing on the input pin and ripple on the output. Ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R tem - perature grade are recommended for most applications. A selection of recommended capacitors is included in Table 1. The 1µF SVIN input capacitor should have a series resistor of about 10Ω value connected from the input to the SVIN pin to form an RC low pass filter to remove high frequency spikes present on the input switching pin COMPONENT SELECTION PVIN. This will keep the SP6652 internal reference and other sensitive circuits noise free and ensure better output regulation. The GND returns for the PVIN capacitor and the output capacitor should be connected directly to the PGND pin, which should con- nect to the thermal pad ground located un- der the SP6652. The GND return for the 1µF SVIN capacitor should be connected to the SGND pin, which should be connected separately to the PGND pin to avoid adding PGND noise to the SP6652 S GND pin. See the Typical SP6652 Circuit Layout for de - tails on the recommended layout. Output Voltage Selection To set the output voltage for the SP6652, a pair of resistors, RF and RI are used as a voltage divider between the output voltage at the output capacitor and the FB pin and GND, as shown in the typical application cir- cuit. The recommended value for the RI re- sistor is 100KΩ to 200KΩ to keep the quies- cent current low, but not have the impedance too high at the FB pin for good regulation.
