It operates from a 4.5V to 27V input voltage range and supplies up to 2A of load current. The duty cycle can be adjusted from 6% to 85% allowing a wide range of output voltages. Features include; enable control, Power-On Reset, input under voltage lockout, fixed internal soft-start and thermal shut down. high-side switch is off. The inductor current is freewheeling through the Schottky diode to the output. The AOZ1210 is available in SO-8 package. Output Voltage Programming Enable and Soft Start Output voltage can be set by feeding back the output to the FB pin with a resistor divider network. In the application circuit shown in Figure 1. The resistor divider network includes R1 and R2. Typically, a design is started by picking a fixed R2 value and calculating the required R1 value with equation below. The AOZ1210 has an internal soft start feature to limit in-rush current and ensure the output voltage ramps up smoothly to the regulation voltage. A soft start process begins when the input voltage rises to 4.1V and voltage on EN pin is HIGH. In the soft start process, the output voltage is typically ramped to regulation voltage in 6.8ms. The 6.8ms soft start time is set internally. If the enable function is not used, connect the EN pin to VIN. Pulling EN to ground will disable the AOZ1210. Do not leave EN open. The voltage on the EN pin must be above 2.5 V to enable the AOZ1210. When voltage on EN pin falls below 0.6V, the AOZ1210 is disabled. If an application circuit requires the AOZ1210 to be disabled, an open drain or open collector circuit should be used to interface with the EN pin. Switching Frequency The AOZ1210 switching frequency is fixed and set by an internal oscillator. The switching frequency is set to 370kHz. R 1 V O = 0.8 x 1 + ------- R 2 Some standard values for R1 and R2 for the most commonly used output voltages are listed in Table 1. Table 1. R1 (k) VO (V) 0.8 1.0 R2 (k) Open 1.2 4.99 10 Steady-State Operation 1.5 10 11.5 Under steady-state conditions, the converter operates in fixed frequency and Continuous-Conduction Mode (CCM). 1.8 12.7 10.2 2.5 21.5 10 3.3 31.6 10 The AOZ1210 integrates an internal N-MOSFET as the high-side switch. Inductor current is sensed by amplifying the voltage drop across the drain to source of the high side power MOSFET. Since the N-MOSFET requires a gate voltage higher than the input voltage, a boost capacitor connected between the LX and BST pins drives the gate. The boost capacitor is charged while LX is low. An internal 10 switch from LX to GND is used to ensure that LX is pulled to GND even in the light load. Output voltage is divided down by the external voltage divider at the FB pin. The difference of the FB pin voltage and reference is amplified by the internal transconductance error amplifier. The error voltage, which shows on the COMP pin, is compared against the current signal. The current signal is the sum of inductor current signal and ramp compensation signal, at the PWM comparator input. If the current signal is less than the error voltage, the internal high-side switch is on. The inductor current flows from the input through the inductor to the output. When the current signal exceeds the error voltage, the 5.0 52.3 10 Rev. 1.7 December 2009 The combination of R1 and R2 should be large enough to avoid drawing excessive current from the output, which will cause power loss. Protection Features The AOZ1210 has multiple protection features to prevent system circuit damage under abnormal conditions. Over Current Protection (OCP) The sensed inductor current signal is also used for over current protection. Since the AOZ1210 employs peak current mode control, the COMP pin voltage is proportional to the peak inductor current. The COMP pin voltage is limited to be between 0.4V and 2.5V internally. The peak inductor current is automatically limited cycle by cycle. www.aosmd.com Page 7 of 14 AOZ1210 The cycle-by-cycle current limit threshold is internally set. When the load current reaches the current limit threshold, the cycle-by-cycle current limit circuit turns off the high side switch immediately to terminate the current duty cycle. The inductor current stops rising. The cycleby-cycle current limit protection directly limits inductor peak current. The average inductor current is also limited due to the limitation on the peak inductor current. When cycle-by-cycle current limit circuit is triggered, the output voltage drops as the duty cycle decreases. The AOZ1210 has internal short circuit protection to protect itself from catastrophic failure under output short circuit conditions. The FB pin voltage is proportional to the output voltage. Whenever the FB pin voltage is below 0.2V, the short circuit protection circuit is triggered. To prevent current limit running away when the comp pin voltage is higher than 2.1V, the short circuit protection is also triggered. As a result, the converter is shut down and hiccups at a frequency equals to 1/16 of normal switching frequency. The converter will start up via a soft start once the short circuit condition is resolved. In short circuit protection mode, the inductor average current is greatly reduced because of the low hiccup frequency. Power-On Reset (POR) A power-on reset circuit monitors the input voltage. When the input voltage exceeds 4.3V, the converter starts operation. When input voltage falls below 4.1V, the converter will stop switching. Since the input current is discontinuous in a buck converter, the current stress on the input capacitor is another concern when selecting the capacitor. For a buck circuit, the RMS value of input capacitor current can be calculated by: VO VO I CIN_RMS = I O x --------- 1 - --------- V IN V IN if let m equal the conversion ratio: VO -------- = m V IN The relationship between the input capacitor RMS current and voltage conversion ratio is calculated and shown in Figure 2. It can be seen that when VO is half of VIN, CIN is under the worst current stress. The worst current stress on CIN is 0.5 x IO. 0.5 0.4 ICIN_RMS(m) 0.3 IO 0.2 0.1 0 Thermal Protection An internal temperature sensor monitors the junction temperature. It shuts down the internal control circuit and high side NMOS if the junction temperature exceeds 145C. The regulator will restart automatically under the control of soft-start circuit when the junction temperature decreases to 100C. Application Information The basic AOZ1210 application circuit is shown in Figure 1. Component selection is explained below. Input Capacitor The input capacitor (C1 in Figure 1) must be connected to the VIN pin and GND pin of the AOZ1210 to maintain steady input voltage and filter out the pulsing input current. The voltage rating of the input capacitor must be greater than maximum input voltage + ripple voltage. The input ripple voltage can be approximated by equation below: VO VO IO V IN = ----------------- x 1 - --------- x --------V IN V IN f x C IN Rev. 1.7 December 2009 0 0.5 m 1 Figure 2. ICIN vs. Voltage Conversion Ratio For reliable operation and best performance, the input capacitors must have a current rating higher than ICIN_RMS at the worst operating conditions. Ceramic capacitors are preferred for input capacitors because of their low ESR and high ripple current rating. Depending on the application circuits, other low ESR tantalum capacitor or aluminum electrolytic capacitor may also be used. When selecting ceramic capacitors, X5R or X7R type dielectric ceramic capacitors are preferred for their better temperature and voltage characteristics. Note that the ripple current rating from capacitor manufactures is based on certain amount of life time. Further de-rating may be necessary for practical design requirement. Inductor The inductor is used to supply constant current to output when it is driven by a switching voltage. For given input and output voltage, inductance and switching frequency together decide the inductor ripple current, which is, VO VO I L = ----------- x 1 - --------- V IN fxL www.aosmd.com Page 8 of 14 AOZ1210 The peak inductor current is: I L I Lpeak = I O + -------2 High inductance gives low inductor ripple current but requires larger size inductor to avoid saturation. Low ripple current reduces inductor core losses. It also reduces RMS current through inductor and switches, which results in less conduction loss. When selecting the inductor, make sure it is able to handle the peak current without saturation even at the highest operating temperature. The inductor takes the highest current in a buck circuit. The conduction loss on inductor needs to be checked for thermal and efficiency requirements. Surface mount inductors in different shape and styles are available from Coilcraft, Elytone and Murata. Shielded inductors are small and radiate less EMI noise. But they cost more than unshielded inductors. The choice depends on EMI requirement, price and size. Output Capacitor The output capacitor is selected based on the DC output voltage rating, output ripple voltage specification and ripple current rating. The selected output capacitor must have a higher rated voltage specification than the maximum desired output voltage including ripple. De-rating needs to be considered for long term reliability. Output ripple voltage specification is another important factor for selecting the output capacitor. In a buck converter circuit, output ripple voltage is determined by inductor value, switching frequency, output capacitor value and ESR. It can be calculated by the equation below: 1 V O = I L x ESR CO + ------------------------- 8xfxC V O = I L x ESR CO For lower output ripple voltage across the entire operating temperature range, X5R or X7R dielectric type of ceramic, or other low ESR tantalum capacitor or aluminum electrolytic capacitor may also be used as output capacitors. In a buck converter, output capacitor current is continuous. The RMS current of output capacitor is decided by the peak to peak inductor ripple current. It can be calculated by: I L I CO_RMS = ---------12 Usually, the ripple current rating of the output capacitor is a smaller issue because of the low current stress. When the buck inductor is selected to be very small and inductor ripple current is high, output capacitor could be overstressed. Schottky Diode Selection The external freewheeling diode supplies the current to the inductor when the high side NMOS switch is off. To reduce the losses due to the forward voltage drop and recovery of diode, a Schottky diode is recommended. The maximum reverse voltage rating of the chosen Schottky diode should be greater than the maximum input voltage, and the current rating should be greater than the maximum load current. Loop Compensation The AOZ1210 employs peak current mode control for easy use and fast transient response. Peak current mode control eliminates the double pole effect of the output L&C filter. It greatly simplifies the compensation loop design. O where; CO is output capacitor value and ESRCO is the Equivalent Series Resistor of output capacitor. When low ESR ceramic capacitor is used as output capacitor, the impedance of the capacitor at the switching frequency dominates. Output ripple is mainly caused by capacitor value and inductor ripple current. The output ripple voltage calculation can be simplified to: 1 V O = I L x ------------------------- 8 x f x C If the impedance of ESR at switching frequency dominates, the output ripple voltage is mainly decided by capacitor ESR and inductor ripple current. The output ripple voltage calculation can be further simplified to: With peak current mode control, the buck power stage can be simplified to be a one-pole and one-zero system in frequency domain. The pole is the dominant pole and can be calculated by: 1 f p1 = ----------------------------------2 x C O x R L O Rev. 1.7 December 2009 www.aosmd.com Page 9 of 14 AOZ1210 The zero is a ESR zero due to output capacitor and its ESR. It is can be calculated by: 1 f Z1 = -----------------------------------------------2 x C O x ESR CO The strategy for choosing RC and CC is to set the cross over frequency with RC and set the compensator zero with CC. Using selected crossover frequency, fC, to calculate RC: VO 2 x C O R C = f C x ---------- x -----------------------------V G xG where; FB CO is the output filter capacitor, EA CS RL is load resistor value, and where; ESRCO is the equivalent series resistance of output capacitor. fC is desired crossover frequency, The compensation design is actually to shape the converter close loop transfer function to get desired gain and phase. Several different types of compensation network can be used for AOZ1210. For most cases, a series capacitor and resistor network connected to the COMP pin sets the pole-zero and is adequate for a stable high-bandwidth control loop. In the AOZ1210, FB pin and COMP pin are the inverting input and the output of internal transconductance error amplifier. A series R and C compensation network connected to COMP provides one pole and one zero. The pole is: G EA f p2 = ------------------------------------------2 x C C x G VEA GEA is the error amplifier transconductance, which is 200 x 10-6 A/V, GVEA is the error amplifier voltage The zero given by the external compensation network, capacitor CC (C5 in Figure 1) and resistor RC (R1 in Figure 1), is located at: 1 f Z2 = ----------------------------------2 x C C x R C To design the compensation circuit, a target crossover frequency fC for close loop must be selected. The system crossover frequency is where the control loop has unity gain. The crossover frequency is also called the converter bandwidth. Generally a higher bandwidth means faster response to load transient. However, the bandwidth should not be too high due to system stability concern. When designing the compensation loop, converter stability under all line and load condition must be considered. Usually, it is recommended to set the bandwidth to be less than 1/10 of switching frequency. It is recommended to choose a crossover frequency less than 30kHz. Rev. 1.7 December 2009 GEA is the error amplifier transconductance, which is 200x10-6 A/V, and GCS is the current sense circuit transconductance, which is 5.64 A/V The compensation capacitor CC and resistor RC together make a zero. This zero is put somewhere close to the dominate pole fp1 but lower than 1/5 of the selected crossover frequency. CC can is selected by: 1.5 C C = ----------------------------------2 x R C x f p1 The equation above can also be simplified to: where; f C = 30kHz VFB is 0.8V, CO x RL C C = --------------------RC An easy-to-use application software which helps to design and simulate the compensation loop can be found at www.aosmd.com. Thermal Management and Layout Consideration In the AOZ1210 buck regulator circuit, high pulsing current flows through two circuit loops. The first loop starts from the input capacitors, to the VIN pin, to the LX pins, to the filter inductor, to the output capacitor and load, and then returns to the input capacitor through ground. Current flows in the first loop when the high side switch is on. The second loop starts from inductor, to the output capacitors and load, to the GND pin of the AOZ1210, to the LX pins of the AZO1210. Current flows in the second loop when the low side diode is on. In PCB layout, minimizing the two loops area reduces the noise of this circuit and improves efficiency. A ground plane is recommended to connect input capacitor, output capacitor, and GND pin of the AOZ1210. In the AOZ1210 buck regulator circuit, the three major power dissipating components are the AOZ1210, external diode and output inductor. The total power www.aosmd.com Page 10 of 14 AOZ1210 dissipation of converter circuit can be measured by input power minus output power. P total_loss = V IN x I IN - V O x I O The power dissipation of inductor can be approximately calculated by output current and DCR of the inductor. P inductor_loss = IO2 x R inductor x 1.1 VO P diode_loss = I O x V F x 1 - --------- V IN 2. Input capacitor should be connected as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins. The actual AOZ1210 junction temperature can be calculated with power dissipation in the AOZ1210 and thermal impedance from junction to ambient. T junction = ( P total_loss - P inductor_loss ) x JA + + T ambient 3. Make the current trace from LX pins to L to CO to GND as short as possible. 4.

Care should be taken by users during design process to ensure that the IC will operate under the recommended environmental conditions. L1 Vo C2 C 2 Figure 3.
