The LMZ14202EXT is available in an innovative package that enhances thermal performance and allows for hand or machine soldering. The LMZ14202EXT can accept an input voltage rail between 6V and 42V and deliver an adjustable and highly accurate output voltage as low as 0.8V. The LMZ14202EXT only requires three external resistors and four external capacitors to complete the power solution. The LMZ14202EXT is a reliable and robust design with the following protection features: thermal shutdown, input under-voltage lockout, output over-voltage protection, short-circuit protection, output current limit, and allows startup into a pre-biased output. A single resistor adjusts the switching frequency up to 1 MHz. RENT / RENB = (VIN UVLO/ 1.18V) - 1 (1) The LMZ14202EXT demonstration and evaluation boards use 11.8k for RENB and 68.1k for RENT resulting in a rising UVLO of 8V. This divider presents 6.25V to the EN input when the divider input is raised to 42V. OUTPUT VOLTAGE SELECTION Output voltage is determined by a divider of two resistors connected between VO and ground. The midpoint of the divider is connected to the FB input. The voltage at FB is compared to a 0.8V internal reference. In normal operation an on-time cycle is initiated when the voltage on the FB pin falls below 0.8V. The main MOSFET on-time cycle causes the output voltage to rise and the voltage at the FB to exceed 0.8V. As long as the voltage at FB is above 0.8V, on-time cycles will not occur. The regulated output voltage determined by the external divider resistors RFBT and RFBB is: COT Control Circuit Overview Constant On Time control is based on a comparator and an on-time one shot, with the output voltage feedback compared with an internal 0.8V reference. If the feedback voltage is below the reference, the main MOSFET is turned on for a fixed on-time determined by a programming resistor RON. RON is connected to VIN such that on-time is reduced with increasing input supply voltage. Following this on-time, the main MOSFET remains off for a minimum of 260 ns. If the voltage on the feedback pin falls below the reference level again the on-time cycle is repeated. Regulation is achieved in this manner. VO = 0.8V * (1 + RFBT / RFBB) (2) Rearranging terms; the ratio of the feedback resistors for a desired output voltage is: Design Steps for the LMZ14202EXT Application RFBT / RFBB = (VO / 0.8V) - 1 (3) The LMZ14202EXT is fully supported by Webench(R) and offers the following: Component selection, electrical and thermal simulations as well as the build-it board for a reduction in design time. The following list of steps can be used to manually design the LMZ14202EXT application. * Select minimum operating VIN with enable divider resistors * Program VO with divider resistor selection * Program turn-on time with soft-start capacitor selection * Select CO * Select CIN * Set operating frequency with RON * Determine module dissipation * Layout PCB for required thermal performance For VO = 0.8V the FB pin can be connected to the output directly so long as an output preload resistor remains that draws more than 20uA. Converter operation requires this minimum load to create a small inductor ripple current and maintain proper regulation when no load is present. A feed-forward capacitor is placed in parallel with RFBT to improve load step transient response. Its value is usually determined experimentally by load stepping between DCM and CCM conduction modes and adjusting for best transient response and minimum output ripple. A table of values for RFBT , RFBB , CFF and RON is included in the applications schematic. These resistors should be chosen from values in the range of 1.0 kohm to 10.0 kohm. SOFT-START CAPACITOR SELECTION Programmable soft-start permits the regulator to slowly ramp to its steady state operating point after being enabled, thereby reducing current inrush from the input supply and slowing the output voltage rise-time to prevent overshoot. Upon turn-on, after all UVLO conditions have been passed, an internal 8uA current source begins charging the external soft-start capacitor. The soft-start time duration to reach steady state operation is given by the formula: ENABLE DIVIDER, RENT AND RENB SELECTION The enable input provides a precise 1.18V band-gap rising threshold to allow direct logic drive or connection to a voltage divider from a higher enable voltage such as VIN. The enable input also incorporates 90 mV (typ) of hysteresis resulting in a falling threshold of 1.09V. The maximum recommended voltage into the EN pin is 6.5V. For applications where the midpoint of the enable divider exceeds 6.5V, a small zener can be added to limit this voltage. The function of this resistive divider is to allow the designer to choose an input voltage below which the circuit will be disabled. This implements the feature of programmable under voltage lockout. This is often used in battery powered systems to prevent deep discharge of the system battery. It is also useful in system designs for sequencing of output rails or to tSS = VREF * CSS / Iss = 0.8V * CSS / 8uA (4) This equation can be rearranged as follows: CSS = tSS * 8 A / 0.8V (5) Use of a 0.022F capacitor results in 2.2msec soft-start duration which is recommended as a minimum value. As the soft-start input exceeds 0.8V the output of the power stage will be in regulation. The soft-start capacitor continues 11 www.national.com LMZ14202EXT prevent early turn-on of the supply as the main input voltage rail rises at power-up. Applying the enable divider to the main input rail is often done in the case of higher input voltage systems such as 24V AC/DC systems where a lower boundary of operation should be established. In the case of sequencing supplies, the divider is connected to a rail that becomes active earlier in the power-up cycle than the LMZ14202EXT output rail. The two resistors should be chosen based on the following ratio: General Description LMZ14202EXT charging until it reaches approximately 3.8V on the SS pin. Voltage levels between 0.8V and 3.8V have no effect on other circuit operation. Note that the following conditions will reset the soft-start capacitor by discharging the SS input to ground with an internal 200 A current sink. * The enable input being "pulled low" * Thermal shutdown condition * Over-current fault * Internal Vcc UVLO (Approx 4V input to VIN) Additional bulk capacitance with higher ESR may be required to damp any resonant effects of the input capacitance and parasitic inductance of the incoming supply lines. RON RESISTOR SELECTION Many designs will begin with a desired switching frequency in mind. For that purpose the following equation can be used. fSW(CCM) VO / (1.3 * 10-10 * RON) (10) This can be rearranged as RON VO / (1.3 * 10 -10 * fSW(CCM) )(11) CO SELECTION None of the required CO output capacitance is contained within the module. At a minimum, the output capacitor must meet the worst case minimum ripple current rating of 0.5 * ILR P-P, as calculated in equation (19) below. Beyond that, additional capacitance will reduce output ripple so long as the ESR is low enough to permit it. A minimum value of 10 F is generally required. Experimentation will be required if attempting to operate with a minimum value. Ceramic capacitors or other low ESR types are recommended. See AN-2024 for more detail. The following equation provides a good first pass approximation of CO for load transient requirements: The selection of RON and fSW(CCM) must be confined by limitations in the on-time and off-time for the COT control section. The on-time of the LMZ14202EXT timer is determined by the resistor RON and the input voltage VIN. It is calculated as follows: tON = (1.3 * 10-10 * RON) / VIN (12) COISTEP*VFB*L*VIN/ (4*VO*(VIN--VO)*VOUT-TRAN)(6) The inverse relationship of tON and VIN gives a nearly constant switching frequency as VIN is varied. RON should be selected such that the on-time at maximum VIN is greater than 150 ns. The on-timer has a limiter to ensure a minimum of 150 ns for tON. This limits the maximum operating frequency, which is governed by the following equation: Solving: fSW(MAX) = VO / (VIN(MAX) * 150 nsec) (13) CO 2A*0.8V*10H*24V / (4*3.3V*( 24V -- 3.3V)*33mV) 43F (7) The LMZ14202EXT demonstration and evaluation boards are populated with a 100 uF 6.3V X5R output capacitor. Locations for extra output capacitors are provided. See AN-2024 for locations. This equation can be used to select RON if a certain operating frequency is desired so long as the minimum on-time of 150 ns is observed. The limit for RON can be calculated as follows: RON VIN(MAX) * 150 nsec / (1.3 * 10 -10) (14) If RON calculated in (11) is less than the minimum value determined in (14) a lower frequency should be selected. Alternatively, VIN(MAX) can also be limited in order to keep the frequency unchanged. Additionally note, the minimum off-time of 260 ns limits the maximum duty ratio. Larger RON (lower FSW) should be selected in any application requiring large duty ratio. CIN SELECTION The LMZ14202EXT module contains an internal 0.47 F input ceramic capacitor. Additional input capacitance is required external to the module to handle the input ripple current of the application. This input capacitance should be located in very close proximity to the module. Input capacitor selection is generally directed to satisfy the input ripple current requirements rather than by capacitance value. Worst case input ripple current rating is dictated by the equation: Discontinuous Conduction and Continuous Conduction Modes At light load the regulator will operate in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). With load currents above the critical conduction point, it will operate in continuous conduction mode (CCM). When operating in DCM the switching cycle begins at zero amps inductor current; increases up to a peak value, and then recedes back to zero before the end of the off-time. Note that during the period of time that inductor current is zero, all load current is supplied by the output capacitor. The next on-time period starts when the voltage on the at the FB pin falls below the internal reference. The switching frequency is lower in DCM and varies more with load current as compared to CCM. Conversion efficiency in DCM is maintained since conduction and switching losses are reduced with the smaller load and lower switching frequency. Operating frequency in DCM can be calculated as follows: I(CIN(RMS)) 1 /2 * IO * (D / 1-D) (8) where D VO / VIN (As a point of reference, the worst case ripple current will occur when the module is presented with full load current and when VIN = 2 * VO). Recommended minimum input capacitance is 10uF X7R ceramic with a voltage rating at least 25% higher than the maximum applied input voltage for the application. It is also recommended that attention be paid to the voltage and temperature deratings of the capacitor selected. It should be noted that ripple current rating of ceramic capacitors may be missing from the capacitor data sheet and you may have to contact the capacitor manufacturer for this rating. If the system design requires a certain minimum value of input ripple voltage VIN be maintained then the following equation may be used. fSW(DCM)VO*(VIN-1)*10H*1.18*1020*IO/(VIN-VO)*RON2 (15) In CCM, current flows through the inductor through the entire switching cycle and never falls to zero during the off-time. The switching frequency remains relatively constant with load current and line voltage variations. The CCM operating frequency can be calculated using equation 7 above. CIN IO * D * (1-D) / fSW-CCM * VIN(9) If VIN is 1% of VIN for a 24V input to 3.3V output application this equals 240 mV and fSW = 400 kHz. CIN 2A * 3.3V/24V * (1- 3.3V/24V) / (400000 * 0.240 V) 2.5F www.national.com 12 CCM and DCM Operating Modes VIN = 24V, VO = 3.3V, IO = 2A/0.32A 2 sec/div CA = (125 -- 85) / 1.5W -- 1.9) = 24.8 To reach CA = 24.8, the PCB is required to dissipate heat effectively. With no airflow and no external heat, a good estimate of the required board area covered by 1 oz. copper on both the top and bottom metal layers is: Board Area_cm2 = 500C x cm2/W / JC (19) As a result, approximately 20.2 square cm of 1 oz copper on top and bottom layers is required for the PCB design. The PCB copper heat sink must be connected to the exposed pad. Approximately thirty six, 10mils (254 m) thermal vias spaced 59mils (1.5 mm) apart must connect the top copper to the bottom copper. For an example of a high thermal performance PCB layout, refer to the Evaluation Board application note AN-2024. 30117712 The approximate formula for determining the DCM/CCM boundary is as follows: PC BOARD LAYOUT GUIDELINES PC board layout is an important part of DC-DC converter design. Poor board layout can disrupt the performance of a DCDC converter and surrounding circuitry by contributing to EMI, ground bounce and resistive voltage drop 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. IDCBVO*(VIN-VO)/(2*10 H*fSW(CCM)*VIN) (16) Following is a typical waveform showing the boundary condition. Transition Mode Operation VIN = 24V, VO = 3.3V, IO = 0.35A 2 sec/div 30117711 1. Minimize area of switched current loops. From an EMI reduction standpoint, it is imperative to minimize the high di/dt paths during PC board layout. The high current loops that do not overlap have high di/dt content that will cause observable high frequency noise on the output pin if the input capacitor (Cin1) is placed at a distance away from the LMZ14202EXT. Therefore place CIN1 as close as possible to the LMZ14202EXT VIN and GND exposed pad. This will minimize the high di/dt area and reduce radiated EMI. Additionally, grounding for both the input and output capacitor should consist of a localized top side plane that connects to the GND exposed pad (EP). 2. Have a single point ground. The ground connections for the feedback, soft-start, and enable components should be routed to the GND pin of the device. This prevents any switched or load currents from flowing in the analog ground traces. If not properly handled, poor grounding can result in degraded load regulation or erratic output voltage ripple behavior. Provide the single point ground connection from pin 4 to EP. 3. Minimize trace length to the FB pin. Both feedback resistors, RFBT and RFBB, and the feed forward capacitor CFF, should be located close to the FB pin. Since 30117714 The inductor internal to the module is 10 H. This value was chosen as a good balance between low and high input voltage applications. The main parameter affected by the inductor is the amplitude of the inductor ripple current (ILR). ILR can be calculated with: ILR P-P=VO*(VIN- VO)/(10H*fSW*VIN) (17) Where VIN is the maximum input voltage and fSW is determined from equation 10. If the output current IO is determined by assuming that IO = IL, the higher and lower peak of ILR can be determined. Be aware that the lower peak of ILR must be positive if CCM operation is required. POWER DISSIPATION AND BOARD THERMAL REQUIREMENTS For the design case of VIN = 24V, VO = 3.3V, IO = 2A, TAMB (MAX) = 85C , and TJUNCTION = 125C, the device must see a thermal resistance from case to ambient of: CA< (TJ-MAX -- TAMB(MAX)) / PIC-LOSS - JC (18) 13 www.national.com LMZ14202EXT Given the typical thermal resistance from junction to case to be 1.9 C/W. Use the 85C power dissipation curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics section to estimate the PIC-LOSS for the application being designed. In this application it is 1.5W. Following is a comparison pair of waveforms of the showing both CCM (upper) and DCM operating modes. LMZ14202EXT the FB node is high impedance, maintain the copper area as small as possible. The trace are from RFBT, RFBB, and CFF should be routed away from the body of the LMZ14202EXT to minimize noise. 4. Make input and output bus connections as wide as possible. This reduces any voltage drops on the input or output of the converter and maximizes efficiency. To optimize voltage accuracy at the load, ensure that a separate feedback voltage sense trace is made to the load. Doing so will correct for voltage drops and provide optimum output accuracy. 5. Provide adequate device heat-sinking. Use an array of heat-sinking vias to connect the exposed pad to the ground plane on the bottom PCB layer. If the PCB has a plurality of copper layers, these thermal vias can also be employed to make connection to inner layer heat-spreading ground planes. For best results use a 6 x 6 via array with minimum via diameter of 10mils (254 m) thermal vias spaced 59mils (1.5 mm). Ensure enough copper area is used for heatsinking to keep the junction temperature below 125C. Additional Features OUTPUT OVER-VOLTAGE COMPARATOR The voltage at FB is compared to a 0.92V internal reference. If FB rises above 0.92V the on-time is immediately terminated. This condition is known as over-voltage protection (OVP). It can occur if the input voltage is increased very suddenly or if the output load is decreased very suddenly. Once OVP is activated, the top MOSFET on-times will be inhibited until the condition clears. Additionally, the synchronous MOSFET will remain on until inductor current falls to zero. CURRENT LIMIT Current limit detection is carried out during the off-time by monitoring the current in the synchronous MOSFET. Referring to the Functional Block Diagram, when the top MOSFET is turned off, the inductor current flows through the load, the PGND pin and the internal synchronous MOSFET. If this current exceeds 2.6 A (typical) the current limit comparator disables the start of the next on-time period. The next switching cycle will occur only if the FB input is less than 0.8V and the inductor current has decreased below 2.6 A. Inductor current is monitored during the period of time the synchronous MOSFET is conducting. So long as inductor current exceeds 2.6A, further on-time intervals for the top MOSFET will not occur. Switching frequency is lower during current limit due to the longer off-time. It should also be noted that current limit is dependent on both duty cycle and temperature as illustrated in the graphs in the typical performance section. THERMAL PROTECTION The junction temperature of the LMZ14202EXT should not be allowed to exceed its maximum ratings. Thermal protection is implemented by an internal Thermal Shutdown circuit which activates at 165 C (typ) causing the device to enter a low power standby state. In this state the main MOSFET remains off causing VO to fall, and additionally the CSS capacitor is discharged to ground. Thermal protection helps prevent catastrophic failures for accidental device overheating. When the junction temperature falls back below 145 C (typ Hyst = 20 C) the SS pin is released, VO rises smoothly, and normal operation resumes. Applications requiring maximum output current especially those at high input voltage may require application derating at elevated temperatures. ZERO COIL CURRENT DETECTION The current of the lower (synchronous) MOSFET is monitored by a zero coil current detection circuit which inhibits the synchronous MOSFET when its current reaches zero until the next on-time. This circuit enables the DCM operating mode, which improves efficiency at light loads. www.national.com 14 LMZ14202EXT Pre-Biased Startup PRE-BIASED STARTUP The LMZ14202EXT will properly start up into a pre-biased output. This startup situation is common in multiple rail logic applications where current paths may exist between different power rails during the startup sequence.
