It features an I2C interface and a bootstrap switch in a space-saving MLPQ 3X3-20 pin package. The SC493 uses Semtech's advanced patented adaptive on-time control architecture to provide excellent light load efficiency and fast transient response with small external components. The I2C interface is used to program the output voltage offset, the power-on delay time, the soft-start time, the power save operating mode, and it can enable/disable the controller. Additionally, a status register provides information on device state and faults. The controller is capable of operating with all ceramic solutions and switching frequencies up to 1MHz. The programmable frequency and selectable power save mode offer the flexibility to optimize the controller for high efficiency and small size. The power save mode can be enabled to maximize efficiency over the entire load range (PSAVE), or switched to ultrasonic mode to set the minimum frequency to the desired value (UPSAVE). Power save mode can be disabled for operation in continuous conduction mode at all loads. Additional features include output voltage margining, cycle-by-cycle current limit, output voltage soft-start, over and under-voltage protection, controller over-temperature protection, and output voltage soft-shutdown when disabled. The SC493 also provides a power good output.

It has the following key features: * * * * * * * I2C control over output voltage offset, margining, power-on delay, switching frequency, softstart duration, and power save mode. Integrated bootstrap switch Programmable switching frequency from 250kHz to 1MHz to optimize board space and efficiency. Protection features -- over-current, over-voltage, under-voltage, and over-temperature Power save operation -- low quiescent current and ultrasonic power save Status and flag bits for diagnosis and protection purposes Supports 25A operation I2C Compatible Interface Functions The I2C interface can be used to read & write the following functions: * * * * * Shutdown/Start-up of output Power-on delay and soft-start duration Output voltage offset and margining Power save mode Switching frequency Additionally, the I2C interface can be used to read status and flag bits for the following functions: * * * * * * * * Under voltage Over voltage Over temperature Current limit Brown out Did not start Discontinuous mode Power good Status and Flag Bits The status and flag bits are used to indicate the status of the converter. The status bits always indicate the current state of the converter -- the status bit becomes high when the specified condition happens and turns low when the specified condition disappears. The flag bits also become high when the specified condition happens, but will not turn low when the specified condition disappears. For the above mentioned status and flag bits, only discontinuous mode and power good are status bits, the rest of them are all flag bits. The flag bits remain set until one of the following events occurs: * * * The input voltage is cycled EN pin is cycled CLF bit is set Enable/Disable The converter is enabled by applying power to VDD (VDD when used refers to AVDD and PVDD together) and VIN, and pulling the EN pin high. The output voltage will rise to the voltage programmed by the FB pin and the external FB network. Pulling the EN pin low turns the converter off and clears all flag bits. The converter can also be turned on/off via the I2C interface. When the EN pin is high, setting the ENSW bit low will turn off the converter, but the flag bits will not be cleared. Setting the ENSW bit back high will turn on the converter again. Diagnosis and Protection Features When the device detects fault conditions, the SC493 sets the flag bits indicating what fault conditions have occurred. In addition, depending upon what kind of faults have been detected, the SC493 will provide appropriate actions to safeguard the device from catastrophic failures. The following paragraphs describe how these fault conditions are handled by the SC493. Did Not Start Indication If the FB voltage does not rise to 90% of nominal voltage after the converter is enabled, the soft-start duration has passed, and the power good delay has elapsed, the Did Not Start (DNS) flag bit is set. Note that the converter does not latch off just because this bit is set. Output Over Voltage Protection When the FB pin voltage exceeds 120% of the nominal voltage, DL goes high, forcing the low-side MOSFET on, and the OVO flag bit is set. The low side MOSFET stays on (and the high side MOSFET remains off ) until the output voltage comes back into regulation. However, the CLF bit will successfully clear the OVO flag as soon as the FB falls below 120% of the normal voltage. The converter does not 12 SC493 Applications Information (continued) latch off just because this bit is set. The PGD output is driven low when the FB pin is above 120% of the nominal voltage and returns to high when the FB pin is below 110% of the nominal voltage. Output Over Current Protection The SC493 features adjustable current limit capability. The RDS(ON) of the external low side MOSFET is used as the current sensing element. The over current limit is set by RILIM (connected externally). Internally there is a 10A current source that feeds the ILIM pin when the low side MOSFET has turned on. This current flows through the RILIM resistor and creates a voltage drop across it. When the low side MOSFET turns on, the inductor current flowing through it creats a voltage across the MOSFET due to its RDS(ON). If this voltage drop exceeds the voltage across the RILIM resistor, current limit will activate. This prevents the high side MOSFET from turning on until the voltage drop across the low side MOSFET falls below the voltage across the RILIM resistor. This effectively sets a valley current limit of RILIM x 10A/RDS(ON). Please note that RDS(ON) of the MOSFET is dependent on the VGS voltage (equals to PVDD applied to SC493). The ILIM flag bit is set whenever current limit occurs. The converter does not latch off just because this bit is set. Output Under Voltage Protection The output under voltage condition occurs with or without current limit. The output under voltage without current limit is normally a result of low input voltage. The controller will look at the inductor current to differentiate these two situations and respond accordingly. After PGD is asserted, if the FB voltage falls below the PGD falling threshold (80%) and current limit does not happen simultaneously, the Brown Out (BO) flag bit is set. This indicates an output under voltage has happened because of low input voltage. The converter does not latch off just because the BO bit is set. After PGD is asserted, if FB voltage falls below 70% of the nominal voltage for 8 consecutive current limited switching cycles, the UVO flag bit is set. This latches the converter off, with both the high side and low side MOSFETs turned off. To restart, either the EN pin or ENSW register bit must be set low and then back to high. Over Temperature Protection When the temperature of the device reaches the over temperature rising threshold, the OT flag bit is set, turning off both high side and low side MOSFETs. After the temperature of the device drops to the over temperature falling threshold, the converter restarts as if the device has been enabled. The converter will go through poweron delay and soft start. Synchronous Buck Converter Operation, Benefits, and Features The SC493 employs pseudo-fixed frequency adaptive ontime control. This control method allows fast transient response thereby lowering the size of the power components needed in the system. The on time is determined by an internal one-shot with a period proportional to the output voltage and inversely proportional to the input voltage. The output ripple voltage generated by the ESR of the output capacitance is used as the PWM ramp signal. This ripple voltage determines the off time for the controller. For the SC493 the operating frequency range is from 250kHz to 1MHz , programmable via the I2C interface. Adaptive on-time control has significant advantages over traditional control methods. Some of the advantages of the adaptive on-time control are: * * * * No error amplifier, which reduces external components used for compensation Predictable frequency spread because of adaptive on-time architecture Fast transient response -- operation with minimum output capacitance Overall superior performance compared to fixed frequency architectures On-Time One-Shot Generator (TON) Adaptive on-time controllers like the SC493 have an internal on-time one-shot generator. The one-shot timer uses an internal comparator and a capacitor. The positive input of the comparator is a voltage proportional to the output voltage and the negative input is connected to the capacitor charged by a current proportional to the input voltage. The TON time is the time required to charge this 13 SC493 Applications Information (continued) capacitor from 0V to the voltage at the positive input. This makes the on-time proportional to the output voltage and inversely proportional to the input voltage, providing a nearconstant switching frequency when the input and output voltage vary. A second comparator compares the voltage at the feedback pin to a fixed internal reference voltage to determine when to turn on the high side MOSFET. Power-on Delay Programming The power-on delay is programmable via the I2C interface. The power-on delay is defined as the time from when the ENSW bit is set to when the PWM control is enabled and the part begins switching. At the end of the power-on delay time, the PWM control circuit is enabled in a phased manner to ensure proper operation. The phased enabling of internal circuitry adds up to 48s to the power-on delay time. On startup (controller enabled by applying power and driving the EN pin high). The controller can take up to 1ms for internal initialization following which the power-on delay is applied. Soft-Start Operation and Programming Soft-start is achieved in the PWM controller by using an internal voltage ramp as the reference for the FB Comparator. The voltage ramp is generated using an internal charge pump which drives the reference from zero to 500mV in ~ 2mV increments, using an internal oscillator. When the ramp voltage reaches 500mV, the ramp is ignored and the FB comparator switches over to a fixed 500mV threshold. During soft-start the output voltage tracks the internal ramp, which limits the start-up inrush current and provides a controlled soft-start profile for a wide range of applications. Soft-start programmability is achieved by changing the frequency of the oscillator. The soft-start ramp reaches 500mV in 90% of the programmed soft-start time. The remaining 10% of the programmed soft-start time is used to allow the system to stabilize before enabling the PGOOD comparator to drive the PGOOD pin high. During soft-start the controller turns off the low-side MOSFET on any cycle if the inductor current falls to zero. This prevents negative inductor current, allowing the device to start into a pre-biased output. Frequency Programming The nominal switching frequency in continuous conduction mode is programmable via the I2C interface. The switching frequency is changed to the programmed value by scaling the on time as needed. Power Save Mode Programming The SC493 provides selectable power-save operation at light loads. When register bits PSV1,0 are set to 01 or 10 the power save mode is enabled. With power save enabled, the zero crossing comparator monitors the inductor current via the voltage across the low-side MOSFET. If the inductor current falls to zero for 8 consecutive cycles then the controller enters power save and turns off the low-side FET on each subsequent cycle as long as the current crosses zero. If the inductor current does not reach zero for 8 consecutive switching cycles the controller immediately exits power save. The controller counts zero crossings and therefore the converter can sink current as long as the current does not cross zero on 8 consecutive consecutive cycles. This allows the output voltage to recover quickly in response to negative load steps. The SC493 can also be operated in forced Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) by setting PSV1,0 = 00 or 11. With these settings the device will not enter PSAVE and operates at programmed frequency even at light loads. This feature provides user flexibility for system design. Figure 1 shows operation under power save and continuous conduction mode at light loads. FB Ripple Voltage (VFB) Dead time varies according to load FB threshold (500mV) Inductor Current Zero (0A) On-time (TON) DH DH On-time is triggered when VFB reaches the FB Threshold. DL DL drives high when on-time is completed. DL remains high until inductor current reaches zero. Figure 1 -- Power-save Operation 14 SC493 Applications Information (continued) Ultrasonic Power-save When ultrasonic PSAVE is enabled (PSV1,0 =10) the minimum operating frequency in power save for the SC493 is set by UPSV1,0 bits . This is accomplished by using a built-in timer that detects the time between consecutive high-side gate pulses. UVLO and POR Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) circuitry inhibits switching and tri-states the output until VDD rises above 2.8V. An internal Power-On Reset (POR) occurs until VDD exceeds 2.8V, which resets the internal registers, enables the I 2C interface, and resets the soft-start circuitry. As soon as the time exceeds the the programmed upper limit, the bottom gate is turned on. This prevents the controller from going below the set limit in frequency when the power save is enabled. Figure 2 shows ultrasonic power-save operation. Smart Power-save Protection Active loads may leak current from a higher voltage into the switcher output. Under light load conditions with power-save enabled, this can force VOUT to slowly rise and reach the over-voltage threshold. Smart power-save prevents this condition. When the FB voltage exceeds 10% above nominal (exceeds 550mV), the device immediately disables power-save, and DL drives high to turn on the low-side MOSFET. This draws current from VOUT through the inductor and causes VOUT to fall. When VFB drops back to the 500mV trip point, a normal TON switching cycle begins. This method prevents an OVP fault and also cycles energy from VOUT back to VIN. The device will return to power-save operation on the next switching cycle if the load remains light. Smart Power-Save allows the user to minimize operating power by allowing the use of power save mode in load conditions that would normally require the use of forced continuous conduction mode. Figure 3 shows typical waveforms for the Smart Power-save feature. Minimum FSW ~ 20kHz FB Ripple Voltage (VFB) FB threshold (500mV) (0A) Inductor Current On-time (TON) DH On-Time is triggered when VFB reaches the FB Threshold DH 40sec time-out DL After the 40sec time-out, DL drives high if VFB has not reached the FB threshold. Figure 2 -- Ultrasonic Power-save (UPSV 1,0 = 11) Power Good Output The Power Good (PGD) output is an open-drain output which requires a pull-up resistor. When the FB voltage falls lower than 80% (typical) of the nominal voltage, PGD is pulled low. It is held low until the FB voltage rises above 90% (typical) of the nominal voltage. PGD is held low during start-up and will not be allowed to transition high until soft-start is completed. PGD also transitions low if the FB voltage rises above 120% (typical) of the nominal voltage, it is held low until the FB voltage drops below 110% (typical) of the nominal voltage.

Whenever the output voltage is changed via margining or by fine adjust, the controller changes the internal reference by small intermediate steps using 32us per step. This ensures that the output keeps up with internal slewing and excessive current does not build up in the inductor. The faults are blanked till the end of the slewing. Blanking is released when 8 switching cycles occur after the end of internal slewing since the switching cycles indicate that the part is in regulation. The part is enabled to operate in DCM mode to prevent negative current build up in the inductor when slewing down. The part returns to the previous operational state (DCM or CCM) at the end of blanking. Since the controller operates in DCM, it depends on the load to discharge the output when slewing down. Therefore, no switching cycles may occur if the load is very light and the output will not keep pace with the internal slew. In such cases, the blanking at the end of slewing will end after a 1ms timeout whether any switching cycles occur or not and the part will return to its previous operational state. For applications that need to have the output slew down at the same rate as the internal slewing, register bit Enable Internal Load (EnIntLd) can be set. This activates an internal 10 pull down on Vout when the part is slewing down. This resistance discharges the output capacitor and helps the output keep pace with internal slewing. To help maximize efficiency, the pulldown will not activate when slewing up even if the feature is enabled via register settings. When the internal pull down is enabled, it is active only for the time it takes the internal reference to reach its target. For example, when slewing from VFBadjust of +9% to 0%, the pull down is active only for 12 x 32s = 384s. In applications with large output capacitors, this time may not be sufficient to discharge the output to keep up with the internal reference. Therefore, the output can be higher than the desired regulation value at the end of the slewing sequence. If the part was in DCM before slewing began, the output will stay at the higher value at the end of the sequence. If there is no load, the output will return to the desired value very slowly. In such applications, to ensure that the controller quickly brings the output voltage into regulation, it is recommended that either PSAVE be dis- abled or set to ultrasonic before the output is slewed. This will ensure that the low side MOSFET will turn back on at the end of the slewing sequence even if there is no load and bring the output voltage back into regulation. Figure 4 demonstrates this with a 1000F output capacitor and with psave disabled before slewing from VFBadj = +9% to VFBadj = -9%. SCL (5V/div) VOUT (100mV/div) PGOOD (5V/div) Time (500s/div) Figure 4 -- Slew Down in CCM with Large Output Capacitors Soft-shutdown SC493 features a soft-shutdown feature: whenever switching is disabled, an internal 10 pull-down activates on the Vout pin which discharges the output capacitor and holds Vout low. The pull-down stays active even if the EN pin is subsequently driven low. Note that the pull-down will not activate if EN pin has not been high after power has been applied or power is cycled with EN pin low. SmartDriveTM For each DH pulse, the DH driver initially turns on the high-side MOSFET at a slower speed, allowing a softer, smooth turn-off of the low-side diode. Once the diode is off and the LX voltage has risen 0.5V above PGND, the SmartDrive circuit automatically drives the high-side MOSFET on at a rapid rate. This technique reduces switching noise while maintaining high efficiency, reducing the need for snubbers or series resistors in the gate drive. 16 SC493 Applications Information (continued) Power Stage Design Procedure When designing a switch mode supply the input voltage range, load current, switching frequency, and inductor ripple current must be specified. implemented is calculated according to the next equation. DMAX t ON t ON t OFF(MIN) The maximum input voltage (VINMAX) is the highest specified input voltage. The minimum input voltage ( VINMIN) is determined by the lowest input voltage after evaluating the voltage drops due to connectors, fuses, switches, and PCB traces. If a maximum load step occurs instantly, the voltage undershoot can be derived by the next equation. The following parameters define the design: For load release, the worst case happens when the maximum load release occurs at the same time as the high side turns on. The over-shoot in this situation can be derived by the next equation. * * * * Nominal output voltage (VOUT ) Static or DC output tolerance Transient response Maximum load current (IOUT ) There are two values of load current to evaluate -- continuous load current and peak load current. Continuous load current relates to thermal limitations which drive the selection of the inductor and input capacitors. Peak load current determines instantaneous component stresses and filtering requirements such as inductor saturation, output capacitors, and design of the current limit circuit. Inductor Selection Low inductor values result in smaller size but create higher ripple current, and are less efficient because of that ripple current flowing in the inductor. Higher inductor values will reduce the ripple current/voltage and are more efficient, but are larger and more costly. The inductor selection is based upon the ripple current which is typically set between 20% and 50% of the maximum load current. Cost, size, output ripple, and efficiency are all used in the selection process. The equation for determining the inductance is shown by the next equation. L ( VIN VOUT ) u t ON IRIPPLE Output Capacitor Selection Two parameters need to be determined in order to select the output capacitor -- the output capacitance and the capacitor ESR. These two parameters are determined based upon the dynamic and the static regulation requirements. On a load step, the maximum duty ratio that is VUV VOV 2 'I u L 2 u C u DMAX u VIN VOUT 2 L u 'I 'I u t ON 2 u C u VOUT 2uC Using the previous two equations, the output capacitor can be calculated based upon the required performance metrics (under-shoot or over-shoot voltage during the transient). Note that the above equations show the worst case analysis. In practice, the load normally changes with certain slew rate limits, so the required capacitance value may be much smaller than the value calculated using these equations. Input Capacitor Selection The input capacitor should be chosen to handle the RMS ripple current of a synchronous buck converter. This value is shown by the next equation. IRMS 2 (I D) u IIN D u (IOUT IIN )2 where D VOUT , IIN VIN VOUT u IOUT VIN When the input voltage is also used as VDD, it is desirable to limit the input voltage ripple to less than 20mV. The input voltage ripple can be calculated by the next equation. VIN _ RIPPLE IOUT IIN u t ON CIN 17 SC493 Applications Information (continued) Stability Considerations Unstable operation occurs in two related but distinctly different ways -- double-pulsing and fast-feedback loop instability. Double-pulsing occurs due to switching noise seen at the FB input or because the FB ramp voltage is too low. This causes the high side to turn on prematurely after the 250ns minimum off-time has been completed. Double-pulsing will result in higher ripple voltage at the output, but in most applications will not adversely affect operation. However, In some cases double-pulsing can indicate the presence of loop instability, which is caused by insufficient ESR. The best method for checking stability is to apply a zero-tofull load transient and observe the output voltage ripple envelope for overshoot and ringing. Over one cycle of ringing after the initial step is an indication that the ESR should be increased. One simple way to solve this problem is to add trace resistance in the high current output path. A side effect of adding trace resistance is output voltage droop with load. The on-time control regulates the valley of the output ripple voltage. This ripple voltage consists of a term generated by the ESR of the output capacitor and a term based upon the capacitance charging and discharging during the switching cycle. A minimum ESR is required to generate the required ripple voltage for regulation. For stability the ESR zero of the output capacitor should be lower than approximately one-third of the switching frequency. The formula for minimum ESR is shown by the next equation. ESRMIN 3 2 u S u COUT u fSW Where fSW is the switching frequency. For applications using ceramic output capacitors, the ESR is normally too small to meet the above ESR criteria. In these applications it is necessary to add a small virtual ESR network composed of two capacitors and one resistor, as shown in the Figure 5. L High-side CL RL R1 CC Low-side COUT R2 FB pin Figure 5 - Virtual ESR Network This network creates a ramp voltage across CL which is analogous to the ramp voltage generated across the ESR of a standard capacitor. This ramp is then capacitively coupled into the FB pin via capacitor CC. This circuit is analyzed as follows. The AC equivalent circuit used to calculate the injected signal at FB pin is shown in Figure 6 (without considering the output ripple voltage).

The suggested layout guidelines are shown in Figure 7. The following are several simple rules that should be followed to prevent EMI issues. The ground connection between the input capacitor, the output capacitor, and the MOSFET ground should use a short and wide trace. This can reduce the resistive losses and high frequency ringing due to stray inductance.

The high side loop includes the input capacitors, the high side MOSFET, the inductor, and the output capacitors. The low side loop includes the low side MOSFET, the inductor, and the output capacitors. 3. The LX trace should be short, since it is the main noise source of the circuit. All sensitive analog signals should be routed away from the LX trace. 4. Standard techniques such as snubbers can also be used to remove the high frequency ringing at the phase node.

Therefore, in the shut down state and during the soft start process, this bit is also set.

When both registers are used together, the change in the output voltage is determined by the multiplication of the 2 settings, i.e., setting Margin to +10% with +9% VFBadj will change the output by +19.9% whereas a setting Margin to +10% with -9% VFBadj will change the output by +0.1%.

The SC493 has six user-accessible internal 8-bit registers. The I2C interface has been designed for program flexibility, supporting direct format for write operation. Read operations are supported on both combined format and stop separated format. While there is no auto increment/decrement capability in the SC493 I2C logic, a tight software loop can be designed to randomly access the next register independent of which register was accessed first. The start and stop commands frame the data-packet and the repeat start condition is allowed if necessary. 2 SC493 Limitations to the I2C Specifications The SC493 only recognizes seven bit addressing. This means that ten bit addressing and CBUS communication are not compatible. The device can operate in either standard mode (100kbit/s) or fast mode (400kbit/s). Slave Address Assignment The seven bit slave address is 0001A2A1A0x, where A2A1A0 are set by the respective pins on the device. Bit 8 is the data direction bit: 0001A2A1A00 is used for a write operation, and 0001A2A1A01 is used for a read operation. Supported Formats The supported formats are described in the following subsections. Direct Format -- Write The simplest format for an I2C write is direct format. After the start condition [S], the slave address is sent, followed by an eighth bit indicating a write. The I2C logic then acknowledges that it is being addressed, and the master responds with an 8 bit data byte consisting of the register address. The slave acknowledges and the master sends the appropriate 8 bit data byte. Once again the slave acknowledges and the master terminates the transfer with the stop condition [P]. Combined Format -- Read After the start condition [S], the slave address is sent, followed by an eighth bit indicating a write. The I2C logic then acknowledges that it is being addressed, and the master responds with an 8 bit data byte consisting of the register address. The slave acknowledges and the master sends the repeated start condition [Sr]. Once again, the slave address is sent, followed by an eighth bit indicating a read. The slave responds with an acknowledge and the previously addressed 8 bit data byte; the master then sends a non-acknowledge (NACK). Finally, the master terminates the transfer with the stop condition [P]. Stop Separated Reads Stop-separated reads can also be used. This format allows a master to set up the register address pointer for a read and return to that slave at a later time to read the data. In this format the slave address followed by a write command are sent after a start [S] condition. The SC493 then acknowledges it is being addressed, and the master responds with the 8-bit register address. The master sends a stop or restart condition and may then address another slave. After performing other tasks, the master can send a start or restart condition to the SC493 with a read command. The device acknowledges this request and returns the data from the register location that had previously been set up. 24 SC493 Serial Interface (continued) I2C Direct Format Write S Slave Address W A Register Address S - Start Condition W - Write = `0' A - Acknowledge (sent by slave) P - Stop condition A Data A P Slave Address - 7-bit Register address - 8-bit Data - 8-bit I2C Stop Separated Format Read Master Addresses other Slaves Register Address Setup Access S Slave Address W A Register Address A P S S - Start Condition W - Write = `0' R - Read = `1' A - Acknowledge (sent by slave) NAK - Non-Acknowledge (sent by master) Sr - Repeated Start condition P - Stop condition Slave Address B Register Read Access S/Sr Slave Address R A Data NACK P Data NACK P Slave Address - 7-bit Register address - 8-bit Data - 8-bit I2C Combined Format Read S Slave Address W A Register Address S - Start Condition W - Write = `0' R - Read = `1' A - Acknowledge (sent by slave) NAK - Non-Acknowledge (sent by master) Sr - Repeated Start condition P - Stop condition A Sr Slave Address R A Slave Address - 7-bit Register address - 8-bit Data - 8-bit 25 SC493 Outline Drawing - MLPQ-UT-20 3x3 A D PIN 1 INDICATOR (LASER MARK) DIMENSIONS INCHES MILLIMETERS DIM MIN NOM MAX MIN NOM MAX B E A2 A aaa C C A1 SEATING PLANE A A1 A2 b D D1 E E1 e L N aaa bbb .020 .000 - .024 .002 (.006) .006 .008 .010 .114 .118 .122 .061 .067 .071 .114 .118 .122 .061 .067 .071 .016 BSC .012 .016 .020 20 .003 .004 0.50 0.00 - 0.60 0.05 (0.1524) 0.15 0.20 0.25 2.90 3.00 3.10 1.55 1.70 1.80 2.90 3.00 3.10 1.55 1.70 1.80 0.40 BSC 0.30 0.40 0.50 20 0.08 0.10 D1 e LxN E/2 E1 2 1 N D/2 bxN bbb C A B NOTES: 1.
