This easy to use regulator features two integrated switches and is capable of supplying up to 3A of continuous output current. The regulator utilizes peak current mode control with nonlinear slope compensation to optimize stability and transient response over the entire output voltage range. Peak current mode control also provides inherent line feed-forward, cycle-by-cycle current limiting and easy loop compensation. The switching frequency can be synchronized to an external oscillator over the range of 250 kHz to 1.5 MHz. The SYNC function allows the device to operate at high switching frequencies minimizing the size of the inductor while still achieving efficiencies as high as 94%. The precision internal voltage reference allows the output to be set as low as 0.8V. Fault protection features include: current limiting, thermal shutdown, over voltage protection, and shutdown capability. The device is available in the HTSSOP package featuring an exposed pad to aid thermal dissipation. The typical application circuit for the LM20333 is shown in Figure 25 in the design guide. PRECISION ENABLE The enable (EN) pin allows the output of the device to be enabled or disabled with an external control signal. This pin is a precision analog input that enables the device when the voltage exceeds 1.25V (typical). The EN pin has 50 mV of hysteresis and will disable the output when the enable voltage falls below 1.2V (typical). If the EN pin is not used, it should be disconnected so the internal 2 A pull-up will default this function to the enabled condition. Since the enable pin has a precise turn-on threshold it can be used along with an external resistor divider network from VIN to configure the device to turn-on at a precise input voltage. The precision enable circuitry will remain active even when the device is disabled. FREQUENCY SYNCHRONIZATION The frequency sychronization pin(SYNC) allows the switching frequency of the device to be controlled with an external clock signal. This feature allows the user to sychronize multiple converters, avoiding undesirable frequency bands of operation. The switching frequency of the device will synchronize to the rising edge of the clock source that is driving the SYNC pin. The logic low level for the input clock must be below 0.8V and the logic high level must exceed 2.0V to ensure proper operation. The device will synchronize to frequencies from 250 kHz to 1.5 MHz. If the synchronization clock is removed or not present during startup, the oscillator of the device will run at approximately 200 kHz. If the SYNC pin is not used it should be connected to ground. PEAK CURRENT MODE CONTROL In most cases, the peak current mode control architecture used in the LM20333 only requires two external components to achieve a stable design. The compensation can be selected to accommodate any capacitor type or value. The external compensation also allows the user to set the crossover frequency and optimize the transient performance of the device. For duty cycles above 50% all peak current mode control buck converters require the addition of an artificial ramp to avoid sub-harmonic oscillation. This artificial linear ramp is commonly referred to as slope compensation. What makes the LM20333 unique is the amount of slope compensation will change depending on the output voltage. When operating at high output voltages the device will have more slope compensation than when operating at lower output voltages. This is accomplished in the LM20333 by using a non-linear parabolic ramp for the slope compensation. The parabolic slope compensation of the LM20333 is an improvement over the traditional linear slope compensation because it optimizes the stability of the device over the entire output voltage range. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2008-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM20333 LM20333 www.ti.com SNVS558D - MAY 2008 - REVISED APRIL 2013 CURRENT LIMIT The precise current limit enables the device to operate with smaller inductors that have lower saturation currents. When the peak inductor current reaches the current limit threshold, an over current event is triggered and the internal high-side FET turns off and the low-side FET turns on, allowing the inductor current to ramp down until the next switching cycle. For each sequential over-current event, the reference voltage is decremented and PWM pulses are skipped resulting in a current limit that does not aggressively fold back for brief over-current events, while at the same time providing frequency and voltage foldback protection during hard short circuit conditions. SOFT-START AND VOLTAGE TRACKING The SS/TRK pin is a dual function pin that can be used to set the startup time or track an external voltage source. The startup or soft-start time can be adjusted by connecting a capacitor from the SS/TRK pin to ground. The soft-start feature allows the regulator output to gradually reach the steady state operating point, thus reducing stresses on the input supply and controlling startup current. If no soft-start capacitor is used the device defaults to the internal soft-start circuitry resulting in a startup time of approximately 1 ms. For applications that require a monotonic startup or utilize the PGOOD pin, an external soft-start capacitor is recommended. The SS/TRK pin can also be set to track an external voltage source. The tracking behavior can be adjusted by two external resistors connected to the SS/TRK pin as shown in Figure 30 in the design guide. PRE-BIAS STARTUP CAPABILITY The LM20333 is in a pre-biased state when it starts up with an output voltage greater than zero. This often occurs in many multi-rail applications such as when powering an FPGA, ASIC, or DSP. In these applications the output can be pre-biased through parasitic conduction paths from one supply rail to another. Even though the LM20333 is a synchronous converter, it will not pull the output low when a pre-bias condition exists. During start up the LM20333 will not sink current until the soft-start voltage exceeds the voltage on the FB pin. Since the device cannot sink current, it protects the load from damage that might otherwise occur if current is conducted through the parasitic paths of the load. POWER GOOD AND OVER VOLTAGE FAULT HANDLING The LM20333 has built in under and over voltage comparators that control the power switches. Whenever there is an excursion in output voltage above the set OVP threshold, the part will terminate the present on-pulse, turnon the low-side FET, and pull the PGOOD pin low. The low-side FET will remain on until either the FB voltage falls back into regulation or the negative current limit is triggered which in turn tri-states the FETs. If the output reaches the UVP threshold the part will continue switching and the PGOOD pin will be deasserted and go low. Typical values for the PGOOD resistor are on the order of 100 k or less. To avoid false tripping during transient glitches the PGOOD pin has 20 s of built in deglitch time to both rising and falling edges. UVLO The LM20333 has an internal under-voltage lockout protection circuit that keeps the device from switching until the input voltage reaches 4.25V (typical). The UVLO threshold has 350 mV of hysteresis that keeps the device from responding to power-on glitches during start up. If desired the turn-on point of the supply can be changed by using the precision enable pin and a resistor divider network connected to VIN as shown in Figure 29 in the design guide. THERMAL PROTECTION Internal thermal shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the integrated circuit in the event that the maximum junction temperature is exceeded. When activated, typically at 170C, the LM20333 tri-states the power FETs and resets soft-start. After the junction cools to approximately 150C, the part starts up using the normal start up routine. This feature is provided to prevent catastrophic failures from accidental device overheating.

As with any DC-DC converter numerous trade-offs are possible to optimize the design for efficiency, size, or performance. These will be taken into account and highlighted throughout this discussion. To facilitate component selection discussions the circuit shown in Figure 25 below may be used as a reference. Unless otherwise indicated all formulas assume units of amps (A) for current, farads (F) for capacitance, henries (H) for inductance and volts (V) for voltages.

Typical Application Circuit The first equation to calculate for any buck converter is duty-cycle. Ignoring conduction losses associated with the FETs and parasitic resistances it can be approximated by: D= VOUT VIN (1) INDUCTOR SELECTION (L) The inductor value is determined based on the operating frequency, load current, ripple current and duty cycle. The inductor selected should have a saturation current rating greater than the peak current limit of the device. Keep in mind the specified current limit does not account for delay of the current limit comparator, therefore the current limit in the application may be higher than the specified value. To optimize the performance and prevent the device from entering current limit at maximum load, the inductance is typically selected such that the ripple current, iL, is not greater than 30% of the rated output current. Figure 26 illustrates the switch and inductor ripple current waveforms. Once the input voltage, output voltage, operating frequency and desired ripple current are known, the minimum value for the inductor can be calculated by the formula shown below: LMIN = 12 (VIN - VOUT) x D 'iL x fSW (2) Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2008-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM20333 LM20333 www.ti.com SNVS558D - MAY 2008 - REVISED APRIL 2013 VSW VIN Time IL IL AVG = IOUT 'iL Time Figure 26. Switch and Inductor Current Waveforms If needed, slightly smaller value inductors can be used, however, the peak inductor current, IOUT + iL/2, should be kept below the peak current limit of the device. In general, the inductor ripple current, iL, should be more than 10% of the rated output current to provide adequate current sense information for the current mode control loop. If the ripple current in the inductor is too low, the control loop will not have sufficient current sense information and can be prone to instability. OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION (COUT) The output capacitor, COUT, filters the inductor ripple current and provides a source of charge for transient load conditions. A wide range of output capacitors may be used with the LM20333 that provide excellent performance. The best performance is typically obtained using ceramic, SP or OSCON type chemistries. Typical trade-offs are that the ceramic capacitor provides extremely low ESR to reduce the output ripple voltage and noise spikes, while the SP and OSCON capacitors provide a large bulk capacitance in a small volume for transient loading conditions. When selecting the value for the output capacitor, the two performance characteristics to consider are the output voltage ripple and transient response. The output voltage ripple can be approximated by using the following formula: 'VOUT = 'iL x RESR + 1 8 x fSW x COUT where * * * * VOUT (V) is the amount of peak to peak voltage ripple at the power supply output RESR () is the series resistance of the output capacitor fSW(Hz) is the switching frequency COUT (F) is the output capacitance used in the design (3) The amount of output ripple that can be tolerated is application specific; however a general recommendation is to keep the output ripple less than 1% of the rated output voltage. Keep in mind ceramic capacitors are sometimes preferred because they have very low ESR; however, depending on package and voltage rating of the capacitor the value of the capacitance can drop significantly with applied voltage. The output capacitor selection will also affect the output voltage droop during a load transient. The peak droop on the output voltage during a load transient is dependent on many factors; however, an approximation of the transient droop ignoring loop bandwidth can be obtained using the following equation: Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2008-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM20333 13 LM20333 SNVS558D - MAY 2008 - REVISED APRIL 2013 VDROOP = 'IOUTSTEP x RESR + www.ti.com L x 'IOUTSTEP2 COUT x (VIN - VOUT) where * * * * * * * COUT (F) is the minimum required output capacitance L (H) is the value of the inductor VDROOP (V) is the output voltage drop ignoring loop bandwidth considerations IOUTSTEP (A) is the load step change RESR () is the output capacitor ESR VIN (V) is the input voltage VOUT (V) is the set regulator output voltage (4) Both the tolerance and voltage coefficient of the capacitor should be examined when designing for a specific output ripple or transient droop target. INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION Good quality input capacitors are necessary to limit the ripple voltage at the VIN pin while supplying most of the switch current during the on-time. In general it is recommended to use a ceramic capacitor for the input as they provide both a low impedance and small footprint. One important note is to use a good dielectric for the ceramic capacitor such as X5R or X7R. These provide better over temperature performance and also minimize the DC voltage derating that occurs on Y5V capacitors. The input capacitors CIN1 and CIN2 should be placed as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins on both sides of the device. Non-ceramic input capacitors should be selected for RMS current rating and minimum ripple voltage. A good approximation for the required ripple current rating is given by the relationship: IIN-RMS = IOUT D(1 - D) (5) As indicated by the RMS ripple current equation, highest requirement for RMS current rating occurs at 50% duty cycle. For this case, the RMS ripple current rating of the input capacitor should be greater than half the output current. For best performance, low ESR ceramic capacitors should be placed in parallel with higher capacitance capacitors to provide the best input filtering for the device. SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE (RFB1, RFB2) The resistors RFB1 and RFB2 are selected to set the output voltage for the device. Table 1 provides suggestions for RFB1 and RFB2 for common output voltages.

Optimal loop compensation depends on the output capacitor, inductor, load and the device itself.

The overall loop transfer function is the product of the power stage and the feedback network transfer functions. For stability purposes, the objective is to have a loop gain slope that is -20dB/decade from a very low frequency to beyond the crossover frequency.

Compensation of the LM20333 is achieved by adding an RC network as shown in Figure 28 below. LM20333 COMP RC1 CC2 (optional) CC1 Figure 28. Compensation Network for LM20333 A good starting value for CC1 for most applications is 2.2 nF. Once the value of CC1 is chosen the value of RC should be approximated using the equation below to cancel the output filter pole (fP(FIL)) as shown in Figure 27. RC1 = CC1 IOUT 2xD x + COUT VOUT fSW x L -1 (7) A higher crossover frequency can be obtained, usually at the expense of phase margin, by lowering the value of CC1 and recalculating the value of RC1. Likewise, increasing CC1 and recalculating RC1 will provide additional phase margin at a lower crossover frequency. As with any attempt to compensate the LM20333 the stability of the system should be verified for desired transient droop and settling time. For low duty cycle operation, when the on time of the switch node is less than 200ns, an additional capacitor (CC2) should be added from the COMP pin to AGND. The recommended value of this capacitor is 20pF. If low duty cycle jitter on the switch node is observed, the value of this capacitor can be increased to improve noise immunity; however, values much larger than 100pF will cause the pole fP2(EA) to move to a lower frequency degrading loop stability. BOOT CAPACITOR (CBOOT) The LM20333 integrates an N-channel buck switch and associated floating high voltage level shift / gate driver. This gate driver circuit works in conjunction with an internal diode and an external bootstrap capacitor. A 0.1 F ceramic capacitor, connected with short traces between the BOOT pin and SW pin, is recommended. During the off-time of the buck switch, the SW pin voltage is approximately 0V and the bootstrap capacitor is charged from VCC through the internal bootstrap diode. SUB-REGULATOR BYPASS CAPACITOR (CVCC) The capacitor at the VCC pin provides noise filtering for the internal sub-regulator. The recommended value of CVCC should be no smaller than 0.1 F and no greater than 1 F. The capacitor should be a good quality ceramic X5R or X7R capacitor. In general, a 1 F ceramic capacitor is recommended for most applications. The VCC regulator should not be used for other functions since it isn't protected against short circuit. SETTING THE START UP TIME (CSS) The addition of a capacitor connected from the SS pin to ground sets the time at which the output voltage will reach the final regulated value. Larger values for CSS will result in longer start up times. Table 3, shown below provides a list of soft start capacitors and the corresponding typical start up times. Table 3. Start Up Times for Different Soft-Start Capacitors 16 Start Up Time (ms) CSS (nF) 1 none 5 33 10 68 15 100 20 120 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2008-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM20333 LM20333 www.ti.com SNVS558D - MAY 2008 - REVISED APRIL 2013 If different start up times are needed the equation shown below can be used to calculate the start up time. tSS = 0.8V x CSS ISS 22222 (8) As shown above, the start up time is influenced by the value of the soft-start capacitor CSS and the 4.5 A softstart pin current ISS. While the soft-start capacitor can be sized to meet many start up requirements, there are limitations to its size. The soft-start time can never be faster than 1 ms due to the internal default 1 ms start up time. When the device is enabled there is an approximate time interval of 50 s when the soft-start capacitor will be discharged just prior to the soft-start ramp. If the enable pin is rapidly pulsed or the soft-start capacitor is large there may not be enough time for CSS to completely discharge resulting in start up times less than predicted. To aid in discharging of soft-start capacitor during long disable periods an external 1M resistor from SS/TRK to ground can be used without greatly affecting the start up time. USING PRECISION ENABLE AND POWER GOOD The precision enable (EN) and power good (PGOOD) pins of the LM20333 can be used to address many sequencing requirements. The turn-on of the LM20333 can be controlled with the precision enable pin by using two external resistors as shown in Figure 29 . External Power Supply VOUT1 LM20333 RA VOUT2 EN RB Figure 29. Sequencing LM20333 with Precision Enable The value for resistor RB can be selected by the user to control the current through the divider. Typically this resistor will be selected to be between 10 k and 49.9 k. Once the value for RB is chosen the resistor RA can be solved using the equation below to set the desired turn-on voltage. RA = VTO VIH_EN - 1 x RB (9) When designing for a specific turn-on threshold (VTO) the tolerance on the input supply, enable threshold (VIH_EN), and external resistors need to be considered to ensure proper turn-on of the device. The LM20333 features an open drain power good (PGOOD) pin to sequence external supplies or loads and to provide fault detection. This pin requires an external resistor (RPG) to pull PGOOD high when the output is within the PGOOD tolerance window. Typical values for this resistor range from 10 k to 100 k. TRACKING AN EXTERNAL SUPPLY By using a properly chosen resistor divider network connected to the SS/TRK pin, as shown in Figure 30, the output of the LM20333 can be configured to track an external voltage source to obtain a simultaneous or ratiometric start up. External Power Supply EN VOUT1 R1 LM20333 VOUT2 SS/TRK R2 Figure 30. Tracking an External Supply Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2008-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM20333 17 LM20333 SNVS558D - MAY 2008 - REVISED APRIL 2013 www.ti.com Since the soft-start charging current ISS is always present on the SS/TRK pin, the size of R2 should be less than 10 k to minimize the errors in the tracking output. Once a value for R2 is selected the value for R1 can be calculated using appropriate equation in Figure 31, to give the desired start up. Figure 30 shows two common start up sequences; the top waveform shows a simultaneous start up while the waveform at the bottom illustrates a ratiometric start up. SIMULTANEOUS START UP VOLTAGE VOUT1 VOUT2 VOUT2 * -1 x R2 R1 = (c) 0.8V VEN VOUT2 < 0.8 x VOUT1 TIME RATIOMETRIC START UP VOUT1 VOLTAGE VOUT2 R1 = ( VOUT1 -1) x R2 VEN TIME Figure 31. Common Start Up Sequences A simultaneous start up is preferred when powering most FPGAs, DSPs, or other microprocessors. In these systems the higher voltage, VOUT1, usually powers the I/O, and the lower voltage, VOUT2, powers the core. A simultaneous start up provides a more robust power up for these applications since it avoids turning on any parasitic conduction paths that may exist between the core and the I/O pins of the processor. The second most common power on behavior is known as a ratiometric start up. This start up is preferred in applications where both supplies need to be at the final value at the same time. Similar to the soft-start function, the fastest start up possible is 1ms regardless of the rise time of the tracking voltage. When using the track feature the final voltage seen by the SS/TRACK pin should exceed 1V to provide sufficient overdrive and transient immunity. BENEFIT OF AN EXTERNAL SCHOTTKY The LM20333 employs a 40ns dead time between conduction of the control and synchronous FETs in order to avoid the situation where both FETs simultaneously conduct, causing shoot-through current. During the dead time, the body diode of the synchronous FET acts as a free-wheeling diode and conducts the inductor current. The structure of the high voltage DMOS is optimized for high breakdown voltage, but this typically leads to inefficient body diode conduction due to the reverse recovery charge. The loss associated with the reverse recovery of the body diode of the synchronous FET manifests itself as a loss proportional to load current and switching frequency. The additional efficiency loss becomes apparent at higher input voltages and switching frequencies. One simple solution is to use a small 1A external Schottky diode between SW and GND as shown in Figure 38. The external Schottky diode effectively conducts all inductor current during the dead time, minimizing the current passing through the synchronous MOSFET body diode and eliminating reverse recovery losses. 18 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2008-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM20333 LM20333 www.ti.com SNVS558D - MAY 2008 - REVISED APRIL 2013 The external Schottky conducts currents for a very small portion of the switching cycle, therefore the average current is low. An external Schottky rated for 1A will improve efficiency by several percent in some applications. A Schottky rated at a higher current will not significantly improve efficiency and may be worse due to the increased reverse capacitance. The forward voltage of the synchronous MOSFET body diode is approximately 700 mV, therefore an external Schottky with a forward voltage less than or equal to 700 mV should be selected to ensure the majority of the dead time current is carried by the Schottky. THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS The thermal characteristics of the LM20333 are specified using the parameter JA, which relates the junction temperature to the ambient temperature. Although the value of JA is dependant on many variables, it still can be used to approximate the operating junction temperature of the device. To obtain an estimate of the device junction temperature, one may use the following relationship: TJ = PD x JA + TA (10) and PD = PIN x (1 - Efficiency) - 1.1 x (IOUT)2 x DCR where * * * * * * TJ is the junction temperature in C PIN is the input power in Watts (PIN = VIN x IIN) JA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance for the LM20333 TA is the ambient temperature in C IOUT is the output load current DCR is the inductor series resistance (11) It is important to always keep the operating junction temperature (TJ) below 125C for reliable operation. If the junction temperature exceeds 170C the device will cycle in and out of thermal shutdown. If thermal shutdown occurs it is a sign of inadequate heatsinking or excessive power dissipation in the device. Figure 32, Figure 33, Figure 34 and Figure 35 can be used as a guide to avoid exceeding the maximum junction temperature of 125C provided an external 1A Schottky diode, such as Central Semiconductor's CMMSH1-40NST, is used to improve reverse recovery losses.

This data for the figure was derived assuming the device is operating at 3A continuous output current on a 4 layer PCB with a copper area greater than 4 square inches exhibiting a thermal characteristic less than 27 C/W. Since the internal losses are dominated by the FETs a slight reduction in current by 500mA allows for much larger regions of operation, as shown in Figure 35. 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2008-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM20333 LM20333 www.ti.com SNVS558D - MAY 2008 - REVISED APRIL 2013 Figure 36, shown below, provides a better approximation of the JA for a given PCB copper area. The PCB used in this test consisted of 4 layers: 1oz. copper was used for the internal layers while the external layers were plated to 2oz. copper weight. To provide an optimal thermal connection, a 5 x 4 array of 12 mil thermal vias located under the thermal pad was used to connect the 4 layers. Figure 36. Thermal Resistance vs PCB Area (4 Layer Board) PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS PC board layout is an important part of DC-DC converter design. Poor board layout can disrupt the performance of a DC-DC converter and surrounding circuitry by contributing to EMI, ground bounce, and resistive voltage loss in the traces. These can send erroneous signals to the DC-DC converter resulting in poor regulation or instability. Good layout can be implemented by following a few simple design rules. 1. Minimize area of switched current loops. In a buck regulator there are two loops where currents are switched at high slew rates. The first loop starts from the input capacitor, to the regulator VIN pin, to the regulator SW pin, to the inductor then out to the output capacitor and load. The second loop starts from the output capacitor ground, to the regulator GND pins, to the inductor and then out to the load (see Figure 37). To minimize both loop areas the input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the VIN pin. Grounding for both the input and output capacitor should consist of a small localized top side plane that connects to GND and the exposed pad (EP). The inductor should be placed as close as possible to the SW pin and output capacitor. 2. Minimize the copper area of the switch node. Since the LM20333 has the SW pins on opposite sides of the package it is recommended that the SW pins should be connected with a trace that runs around the package. The inductor should be placed at an equal distance from the SW pins using 100 mil wide traces to minimize capacitive and conductive losses. 3. Have a single point ground for all device grounds located under the EP. The ground connections for the compensation, feedback, and soft-start components should be connected together then routed to the EP pin of the device. The AGND pin should connect to GND under the EP. If not properly handled poor grounding can result in degraded load regulation or erratic switching behavior. 4. Minimize trace length to the FB pin. Since the feedback node can be high impedance the trace from the output resistor divider to FB pin should be as short as possible. This is most important when high value resistors are used to set the output voltage. The feedback trace should be routed away from the SW pin and inductor to avoid contaminating the feedback signal with switch noise. 5. Make input and output bus connections as wide as possible. This reduces any voltage drops on the input or output of the converter and can improve efficiency. Voltage accuracy at the load is important so make sure feedback voltage sense is made at the load. Doing so will correct for voltage drops at the load and provide the best output accuracy. 6. Provide adequate device heatsinking. For most 3A designs a four layer board is recommended. Use as many vias as is possible to connect the EP to the power plane heatsink. For best results use a 5x4 via array with a minimum via diameter of 12 mils. "Via tenting" with the solder mask may be necessary to prevent wicking of the solder paste applied to the EP. See the THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS section to ensure enough copper heatsinking area is used to keep the junction temperature below 125C.
