Date:5/25/04 SP6652 1A, High Efficiency, High Frequency Current Mode PWM Buck Regulator © Copyright 2004 Sipex Corp oration DETAIL DESCRIPTION Current Mode Control and Slope Compensation The SP6652 is designed to use low value ce- ramic capacitors and low value inductors, to reduce the converter’s volume and cost in por- table devices Current mode PWM control was, therefore, chosen for the ease of compensation when using ceramic output capacitors and better transient line rejection, 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 compen- sation network is, simply, a series RC connected between ground and the output of the internal transconductance error amplifier. It is well known that an unconditional instability exists for any fixed frequency current-mode converter operating above 50% duty cycle. A simple, constant-slope compensation 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 MC V) equals the negative discharge slope (denoted M2V), the amount of slope com- pensation chosen is, therefore: M2 = dI L/dTOFF =-VOUT/L = -3.3V/4.7 µH = -702mA/µs M2V = M2*RPMOS MCV = -M2V = 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 current ramp times the resistance of the PMOS charging switch. To keep the effective current slope compensation constant (remembering current is being com- pensated, not voltage) the voltage slope must be proportional to R PMOS. To account for this, the slope compensation voltage is internally gener- ated with a bias current that is also proportional to R PMOS. 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 compen- sation, this voltage will be: V(COMP) (I LPK* RPMOS + MCV *TON+ VBE(Q1) The COMP node will be clamped when the 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 RPMOS, to keep the value of current limit approximately constant over process and temperature variations, while the MC V *TON is generated by a peak-holding cir- cuit that senses the amplitude of the slope com- pensation ramp at the end of T ON. There is minimum on-time (T ON) generated even if the COMP node is at 0V, 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 induc- tor current ramp around switching times. The minimum T ON (50ns, nominally) is not suffi- cient for the COMP node to keep control of the current when the output voltage is low. The inductor current tends to rise until the energy loss from the discharge resistances are equal to

Date:5/25/04 SP6652 1A, High Efficiency, High Frequency Current Mode PWM Buck Regulator © Copyright 2004 Sipex Corp oration 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, effec- tively reducing the minimum duty cycle in half. Above V(FB)=0.3V the clock frequency is nor- mal (see TYPICAL OPERATIONG CHAR- ACTERISTICS: Inductor current vs. VOUT) PFM Control for Light Loads If the MODE pin is connected to S GND, under light load conditions the SP6652 will transition to a PFM regulation mode. In this mode of operation, V(FB) is compared to the reference voltage plus 7.5mV, nominally (see BLOCK DIAGRAM). This sets the regulation point 1% higher than the PWM regulation voltage to prevent bouncing between modes at loading conditions near threshold. When V OUT falls below the PFM regulation point the voltage loop comparator issues a com- mand to turn on the PMOS switch to the output stage logic. The current sensing comparator compares the voltage across that switch to a reference set up by a biased replica of the PMOS switch, to set the peak PFM inductor current (nominally 300 mA). This comparator stops the charging cycle and initiates the discharge through the synchronous NMOS rectifier. Any new charging cycles are inhibited until a third comparator, the under-current compara- tor, which is setup to detect the instant when the inductor is fully discharged (NMOS V DS >0) enables the voltage loop. This keeps the PFM mode in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). A timer disables both the Current Loop and Trough Current comparators 7µs after entering DCM, to save supply current under very light load conditions. The normal light load supply current is, nominally, 135 µA whereas the very light load supply current is 60 µA. DETAIL DESCRIPTION: Contunued Automatic Mode Selection If the MODE pin is connected to SVIN, the part will be forced into a PWM-only regulation mode. If the MODE pin is connected to SGND, the mode selection circuitry decides whether the con- verter should be in PWM or PFM mode, depend- ing on the load. Light loads call for the PFM loop, which is forced into DCM as well. Me- dium to heavy loads activate the PWM loop. Starting from a PWM state, the Peak and Trough Current Detector window comparator monitors the peak inductor current during charge and the trough inductor current during discharge. Both the peak and trough are monitored because the ripple current varies considerably across the application spectrum. The lossless inductor cur- rent ripple is: I L(RIPPLE)=(VIN-VOUT)*(VOUT/VIN)*(1/L *fCLK) Where fCLK is the switching frequency (1.2MHz, nominally). If the peak inductor current is below 100mA or the trough reaches 0mA (or less) during one cycle, then the current is defined as low enough for PFM mode. This has to happen during 32 consecutive clock cycles before the output sig- nal goes high and switches modes. This delay is to avoid prematurely switching into PFM mode during a negative load transient. Once in PFM mode, the regulated output volt- age will be 1% higher than in PWM and con- tinue regulating there, as described in the PFM Control For Light Loads section. When the load increases past the point where the PFM mode can regulate while remaining in DCM (which is l 1/2 of the peak inductor current in PFM, or 1/ 2*300mA=150mA), the output voltage will start dropping. When it falls 1% below the reference voltage, that is 2% below the PFM regulation point, the PWM Mode Comparator will switch and set the Mode Control latch to PWM mode.

The input of the volt- age loop is the 0.75V reference voltage minus the divided down output voltage at the feedback pin. The output of the error amplifier is trans- lated 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 compara- tor, and represents 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 Modula- tor Frequency Response vs. Inductor Value. The low frequency pole for L1=5 µH is 4kHz, the second pole is 500kHz, and the gain-band- width is 20kHz. The total loop crossover fre- quency is chosen to be 200kHz, which is 1/6 th of the clock frequency. This sets the 2nd modula- tor 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 1mS, so this sets the RZ resistor value in the compensation network at 10/1mS = 10kΩ. The zero frequency is placed at the first pole to provide at total system response of -20dB/de- cade (the zero from the error amp cancels the first modulator pole, leaving the 1 pole rolloff from the error amp pole). The compensation capacitor becomes: Cc = 1/(2*π*Rz*pole1) = 1/(6.28*10kΩ*4kHz) = 4nF DETAIL DESCRIPTION: Contunued 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=1.2MHz, COUT=10µF, and MCV=132mV/µs.
