micrel, inc. mic4722 september 2007 8 m9999-090507-b pin description vin two pins for vin provide power to the source of the internal p-channel mosfet along with the current limiting sensing. the vin operating voltage range is from 2.7v to 5.5v. due to the high switching speeds, a 10f capacitor is recommended close to vin and the power ground (pgnd) for each pin for bypassing. please refer to layout recommendations. bias the bias (bias) provides power to the internal reference and control sections of the mic4722. a 10 ? resistor from vin to bias and a 0.1f from bias to sgnd is required for clean operation. en the enable pin provides a l ogic level control of the output. in the off state, suppl y current of the device is greatly reduced (typically <1 a). do not drive the enable pin above the supply voltage. fb the feedback pin (fb) provides the control path to control the output. for adjustable versions, a resistor divider connecting the feedback to the output is used to adjust the desired output voltage. the output voltage is calculated as follows: ? ? ? ? ? ? + = 1 r2 r1 v v ref out where v ref is equal to 1.0v. a feedforward capacitor is recommended for most designs using the adjustable output voltage option. to reduce current draw, a 10k feedback resistor is recommended from the output to the fb pin (r1). also, a feedforward capacitor shoul d be connected between the output and feedback (across r1 ). the large resistor value and the parasitic capacitance of the fb pin can cause a high frequency pole t hat can reduce the overall system phase margin. by placing a feedforward capacitor, these effects c an be significantly reduced. feedforward capacitance (c ff ) can be calculated as follows: 200khz r1 2 1 c ff = sw the switch (sw) pin connects directly to the inductor and provides the switching current necessary to operate in pwm mode. due to the high speed switching on this pin, the switch node should be routed away from sensitive nodes. this pin also connects to the cathode of the free-wheeling diode. pgood power good is an open drain pull down that indicates when the output voltage has reached regulation. for a power good low, the output volt age is within 10% of the set regulation voltage. for output voltages greater or less than 10%, the pgood pin is high. this should be connected to the input supply through a pull up resistor. a delay can be added by placing a capacitor from pgood to ground. pgnd power ground (pgnd) is the ground path for the mosfet drive current. the current loop for the power ground should be as small as possible and separate from the signal ground (sgnd) loop. refer to the layout considerations for more details. sgnd signal ground (sgnd) is the ground path for the biasing and control circuitry. the current loop for the signal ground should be separate from the power ground (pgnd) loop. refer to the layout considerations for more details.
micrel, inc. mic4722 september 2007 9 m9999-090507-b application information the mic4722 is a 3a pwm non-synchronous buck regulator. by switching an input voltage supply, and filtering the switched voltage through an inductor and capacitor, a regulated dc voltage is obtained. figure 1 shows a simplified example of a non-synchronous buck converter. figure 1. example of non-synchronous buck converter for a non-synchronous buck converter, there are two modes of operation; continuous and discontinuous. continuous or discontinuous refer to the inductor current. if current is continuously flowing through the inductor throughout the switching cycle, it is in continuous operation. if the inductor current drops to zero during the off time, it is in discontinuous operation. critically continuous is the point where any decrease in output current will cause it to enter discontinuous operation. the critically co ntinuous load current can be calculated as follows; l 2 2.7mhz v v v i in 2 out out out ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? = continuous or discontinuous operation determines how we calculate peak inductor current. continuous operation figure 2 illustrates the switch volt age and inductor current during continuous operation. figure 2. continuous operation the output voltage is regulated by pulse width modulating (pwm) the switch voltage to the average required output voltage. the switching can be broken up into two cycles; on and off. during the on-time, the high side switch is turned on, current flows from the input supply through the inductor and to the output. the inductor current is figure 3. on-time charged at the rate; ( ) l v v out in ? = and the on time is; 2.7mhz d t on = therefore, peak to peak ripple current is; () l 2.7mhz v v v v i in out out in pk pk ? = ? since the average peak to peak current is equal to the load current. the actual peak (or highest current the inductor will see in a steady state condit ion) is equal to the output current plus ? the peak-to-peak current.

micrel, inc. mic4722 september 2007 11 m9999-090507-b high side switch, and lower duty cycles place the power losses on the schottky diode. inductor conduction losses (p l ) can be calculated by multiplying the dc resistance (dcr) times the square of the output current; 2 out l i dcr p = also, be aware that there are additional core losses associated with switching current in an inductor. since most inductor manufacturers do not give data on the type of material used, approximating core losses becomes very difficult, so verify inductor temperature rise. switching losses occur twice each cycle, when the switch turns on and when the switch turns off. this is caused by a non-ideal world where switching transitions are not instantaneous, and neit her are currents. figure 6 demonstrates how switching losses due to the transitions dissipate power in the switch. figure 6. switching transition losses normally, when the switch is on, the voltage across the switch is low (virtually zero) and the current through the switch is high. this equates to low power dissipation. when the switch is off, voltage across the switch is high and the current is zero, again with power dissipation being low. during the transitions, the voltage across the switch (v s-d ) and the current through the switch (i s-d ) are at middle, causing the tr ansition to be the highest instantaneous power point. during continuous mode, these losses are the highest. also, with higher load currents, these losses are higher. for discontinuous operation, the transition losses only occur during the ?off? transition since the ?on? transitions there is no current flow through the inductor.
micrel, inc. mic4722 september 2007 12 m9999-090507-b component selection input capacitor a 10f ceramic is recommended on each vin pin for bypassing. x5r or x7r dielectrics are recommended for the input capacitor. y5v di electrics lose most of their capacitance over temperature and are therefore not recommended. also, tantalum and electrolytic capacitors alone are not recommended due their reduced rms current handling, reliability, and esr increases. an additional 0.1f is recommended close to the vin and pgnd pins for high frequency filtering. smaller case size capacitors are recommended due to their lower esr and esl. please refer to layout recommendations for proper layout of the input capacitor. output capacitor the mic4722 is designed fo r a 4.7f output capacitor. x5r or x7r dielectrics are recommended for the output capacitor. y5v dielectrics lose most of their capacitance over temperature and are therefore not recommended. in addition to a 4.7f, a small 0.1f is recommended close to the load for high frequency filtering. smaller case size capacitors are recommended due to their lower equivalent series esr and esl. the mic4722 utilizes type iii voltage mode internal compensation and utilizes an internal zero to compensate for the double pole roll off of the lc filter. for this reason, larger out put capacitors can create instabilities. in ca ses where a 4.7f output capacitor is not sufficient, the mic4722 offers the ability to externally control the compensation, allowing for a wide range of output capacitor types and values. inductor selection the mic4722 is designed for use with a 0.47h inductor. proper selection should ensure the inductor can handle the maximum average and peak currents required by the load. maximum current ratings of the inductor are generally given in two methods; permissible dc current and saturation current. permissible dc current can be rated either for a 40c temperature rise or a 10% to 20% loss in in ductance. ensure the inductor selected can handle the maximum operating current. when saturation current is specified, make sure that there is enough margin that the peak current will not saturate the inductor. diode selection since the mic4722 is non-synchronous, a free-wheeling diode is required for proper operation. a schottky diode is recommended due to the low forward voltage drop and their fast reverse recovery time. the diode should be rated to be able to handl e the average output current. also, the reverse voltage rating of the diode should exceed the maximum input voltage. the lower the forward voltage drop of the diode the better the efficiency. please refer to t he layout recommendations to minimize switching noise. feedback resistors the feedback resistor set the output voltage by dividing down the output and sending it to the feedback pin. the feedback voltage is 1.0v. calculating the set output voltage is as follows; ? ? ? ? ? ? + = 1 r2 r1 v v fb out where r1 is the resistor from vout to fb and r2 is the resistor from fb to gnd. the recommended feedback resistor values for common output voltages are available in the bill of materials on page 19. although the range of resistance for the fb resistors is very wide, r1 is recommended to be 10k. this minimizes the effect the parasitic capacitance of the fb node. feedforward capacitor (c ff ) a capacitor across the resistor from the output to the feedback pin (r1) is recommended for most designs. this capacitor can give a boost to phase margin and increase the bandwidth for transient response. also, large values of feedforward capacitance can slow down the turn-on characteristics, reducing inrush current. for maximum phase boost, c ff can be calculated as follows; r1 200khz 2 1 c ff = bias filter a small 10 ? resistor is recommended from the input supply to the bias pin along with a small 0.1f ceramic capacitor from bias to ground. this will bypass the high frequency noise generated by the violent switching of high currents from reaching the internal reference and control circuitry. tantalum and electrolytic capacitors are not recommended for the bias, these types of capacitors lose their ability to filt er at high frequencies.
micrel, inc. mic4722 september 2007 13 m9999-090507-b loop stability and bode analysis bode analysis is an excellent way to measure small signal stability and loop response in power supply designs. bode analysis monitors gain and phase of a control loop. this is done by breaking the feedback loop and injecting a signal into the feedback node and comparing the injected signal to the output signal of the control loop. this will requi re a network analyzer to sweep the frequency and compare the injected signal to the output signal. the most common method of injection is the use of a transformer. figure 7 demonstrates how a transformer is used to inject a signal into the feedback network. figure 7. transformer injection a 50 ? resistor allows impedance matching from the network analyzer source. this method allows the dc loop to maintain regulation and allow the network analyzer to insert an ac signal on top of the dc voltage. the network analyzer will then sweep the source while monitoring a and r for an a/r measurement. while this is the most common method for measuring the gain and phase of a power supply, it does have significant limitations. first, to measure low frequency gain and phase, the transformer needs to be high in inductance. this makes frequencies <100hz require an extremely large and expensive transformer. conversely, it must be able to inject high frequencies. transformers with these wide frequency ranges generally need to be custom made and are extremely expensive (usually to the tune of several hundred dollars!). by using an op-amp, cost and frequency limitations caused by an injection transformer are completely eliminated. figure 8 demonstrates using an op-amp in a summing amplifier configuration for si gnal injection. network analyzer source +8v r1 1k r3 1k r4 1k 50 feedback output network analyzer ?a? input network analyzer ?r? input mic922bc5 figure 8. op amp injection r1 and r2 reduce the dc voltage from the output to the non-inverting input by half. the network analyzer is generally a 50 ? source. r1 and r2 also divide the ac signal sourced by the network analyzer by half. these two signals are ?summed? together at half of their original input. the output is then amplified by 2 by r3 and r4 (the 50 ? is to balance the network analyzer?s source impedance) and sent to the feedback signal. this essentially breaks the loop and injects the ac signal on top of the dc output voltage and sends it to the feedback. by monitoring the feedback ?r? and output ?a?, gain and phase are measured. this method has no minimum frequency. ensure that the bandwidth of the op-amp being used is much greater than the expected bandwidth of the power supply?s control loop. an op-amp with >100mhz bandwidth is more than sufficient for most power supplies (which includes both linear and switching) and are more common and significantly cheaper than the injection transformers previously mentioned. the one disadvantage to using the op-amp injection method; is that the supply voltages need to be below the maximum operating voltage of the op-amp. also, the maximum output voltage for driving 50 ? inputs using the mic922 is 3v. for measuring higher output voltages, 1m ? input impedance is required for the a and r channels. remember to always measure the output voltage with an oscilloscop e to ensure the measurement is working properly. you should see a single sweeping sinusoidal waveform without di stortion on the output. if there is distortion of the sinusoid, reduce the amplitude of the source signal. you could be overdriving the feedback causing a large signal response.
