C 4/13 APPLICATION NOTES DEVICE TYPES (-1, -2) BG - The BG pin is the gate drive for the synchronous rectifier or bottom N-Channel MOSFET. Be aware of the high speed and large currents here during circuit layout. Keep traces short and as wide as possible to minimize parasitic impedances. The MSK5055RH can be ordered to operate in one of two different ways at light load. The different modes are internally configured at the factory and are identified by the "dash number." DASH NUMBER -1 -2 PGND - The PGND pin is the high-current ground reference. Connect it directly to the negative side of the VCC decoupling capacitor. Care should be taken to make sure that these currents are not referenced by the SGND pin to avoid injecting noise into the ground reference. MODE Reverse Current Internal Connection Mode VFB Disabled (DCM VCC Enabled (CCM) SGND - the SGND pin should be connected to the negative side of the output capacitor. Use a common ground plane to minimize impedance, but locate the high current fast switching devices together so their returns remain local and do not corrupt the SGND reference. Device type "-1" disables the reverse current capability at light loads. This configuration is more efficient than configuration "-2." It allows the inductor current to go discontinuous and the PWM will skip pulses to maintain regulation at light loads. This configuration will have a minimum load current requirement, typically 1mA. SW - The SW pin is the switch node for the device. The source of the top MOSFET (forward switch), the drain for the bottom MOSFET (synchronous rectifier), the inductor, and the BOOST capacitor are all connected to this node. Use short wide trace to minimize the impedance of this node. Device type "-2" allows reverse current in the synchronous switch at light loads. This configuration is less efficient at light loads but operations in continuous conduction mode at light loads. SHDN - The SHDN pin provides a method to disable the device. Pull this pin below 1.35V (nominal) to disable switching. Pull below one VBE (0.7V nominal) to enter low power shutdown. A resistor divider to VIN can be used to set UVLO using the 1.35V threshold. When not in use, pull the pin up to VIN with a large value resistor. When exceeding the absolute maximum rating of 5V the pin voltage will be clamped at 6V nominal. Limit the current into the pin to less than 1mA to prevent overstress. PIN FUNCTIONS VIN - The VIN pin is the input supply pin for the device, and should be decoupled to SGND with a low ESR capacitor located close to the pin -- ( See application circuit for typical values). VCC - The VCC pin provides access to the internal 8V bias supply for decoupling and optional external sourcing. It is the power supply for most of the internal functions and the MOSFET gate drive. VCC can only source current and may be tied to an external source to improve efficiency and allow for lower voltage operation. If VCC is tied to an external source greater than 6.5V the device will operate with Vin as low as 4V. This configuration reduces power dissipation in the device by bypassing the internal regulator. The VCC pin charges the bootstrapped capacitor through a diode connected to the BOOST pin. In shutdown mode the VCC pin sinks 20A until the pin voltage is discharged to zero volts. Note: When connecting VCC to an external source. The source must be greater than or equal to VIN +1V. BOOST - The BOOST pin provides the supply for the bootstrapped gate drive, and is externally connected to a low ESR ceramic BOOST capacitor. The value of the BOOST capacitor should be at least 50 times greater than the gate capacitance of the top MOSFET. Smaller values may be used, but analysis of the voltage drop is recommended. An external diode connected from VCC to the BOOST pin charges the bootstrap capacitor during the off-time of the main power switch. Locate the VCC and BOOST decoupling capacitors in close proximity to the device. CSS - The CSS pin is used for soft start. It allows the user to program the rate of change of the output at start-up. The capacitance required for a given output slew rate can be calculated using the following formula: TG - The TG pin is the gate drive for the forward switch, or top N-Channel MOSFET. Be aware of the high speed and large currents here during circuit layout. Keep traces short and as wide as possible to minimize parasitic impedances. CSS = 11A(TSS/1.231V) The pin should be left open if not in use. 3 8548-102 Rev. C 4/13 TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT APPLICATION NOTES CONT'D SENSE-- The SENSE- pin is the negative input to the current sense amplifier. The sensed inductor current limit is set to 100mV across both SENSE inputs. RSENSE=70mV/IOUT(MAX) Given: IP-P < 0.30 x IOUT(MAX) SENSE+ - The SENSE+ pin is the positive input to the current sense amplifier. The sensed inductor current limit is set to 100mV across both SENSE inputs. RSENSE=70mV/IOUT(MAX) Given: IP-P < 0.30 x IOUT(MAX) SELECTING THE SWITCHING FREQUENCY VFB - The VFB (Feedback) pin is used to set the output voltage. Use a resistive divider to set the voltage at the VFB pin to 1.231V when the output is at the desired level. VO=VFB 1+ The MSK5055RH can be set to operate over a frequency range of 100KHz to 500KHz, and is synchronizeable up to 600KHz. There are several factors to consider when selecting the operating frequency including: efficiency, component size, output ripple, application sensitive frequency bands, and the minimum on time of the controller. The output ripple voltage and efficiency will vary with frequency and input voltage. Higher frequencies increase switching losses, but use smaller inductors and/or bulk capacitors saving board space. Lower frequencies reduce switching losses, but increase ripple current and require larger inductors and/or bulk capacitance to achieve the same output ripple voltage. R1 R2 VC - The VC pin provides a means to externally compensate the loop response of the controller. VC is the output of the transconductance error amplifier. A capacitor to ground creates a pole in the control loop. A series RC creates a pole zero combination in the control loop. If the VC pin is externally manipulated, use a source impedance of 1K. SELECTING THE INPUT CAPACITOR The input capacitance provides a low impedance source to the input of the regulator. A low impedance is necessary for high speed, high efficiency switching and tight regulation. The input bus sources an average DC current while the input capacitance sources the AC component of the input current. Select the input capacitor based on voltage ripple requirements, RMS current rating and bulk capacitance. Assuming the capacitor ESR is lower than the bus impedance at the switching frequency and above, the ESR will dominate the voltage ripple. FSET - The FSET pin programs the oscillator frequency via a single resistor to ground. The RSET resistor must be present even when synchronization mode is used--Use the formula or the table below to select the resistance value for a desired frequency. RSET(K) 8.4 x 104 x fSW(KHZ) (-1.31) RSET (K ) FSW (KHz) 191 100 118 150 80.6 200 63.4 49.9 40.2 33.2 250 300 350 400 27.4 450 23.2 500 VP-P IP-P x ESR Given: IP-P = IOUT The RMS current capability is related to power dissipation capability of the capacitor. Replace the capacitor with one that has a higher rating, or place more capacitors in parallel if more capability is needed. Sharing of ripple current between capacitors will be approximately equal if all of the capacitors are the same type, and preferably from the same lot. The RMS current seen by the input capacitors can be approximated by the following equation: IRMS IOUT x SQRT (3D^2 - 3D +1) Given: D VOUT/VIN Parallel ceramic capacitors are required to filter the high frequency components of the switching waveform. Locate the bias supply capacitors close to the VIN and SGND pins on the MSK5055RH. Locate the power input capacitors close to the drain of the forward switch (VIN) and the source of the synchronous rectifier (Power Ground). Use short, wide PCB lands to minimize parasitic impedances. SYNC - The SYNC pin is the input for synchronization of the internal oscillator to an external clock. Program the internal oscillator to be between 10% and 25% below the external clock. The recommended signal is a square wave of at least 2V in amplitude, a pulse width greater than 1S, and a rise time of less than 500nS. If the SYNC pin is not used in the application, tie it to SGND. 4 8548-102 Rev. C 4/13 APPLICATION NOTES CONT'D SELECTING THE OUTPUT CAPACITOR The volt-seconds product can be calculated as follows: The output capacitor filters the ripple current from the inductor to an acceptable ripple voltage seen by the load. The primary factor in determining voltage ripple is the ESR of the output capacitor. The voltage ripple can be approximated as follows: VP-P = IP-P x ESR V*S = VI x dt Given: VI = the inductor voltage (VIN - VO) dt = VO/(VIN x fSW) Allow sufficient derating to prevent saturation and/or overstress The capacitive term of the output voltage ripple lags the ESR when selecting the inductor. term by 90 and can be calculated as follows: VP-P(CAP) = IP-P/ (8 x f x c) SELECTING THE MOSFETS Where: A compromise between conduction loss and transition loss is C = output capacitance in Farads recommended for the top MOSFET (forward switch). The bottom MOSFET's (synchronous rectifier) power dissipation is dominated Select a capacitor or combination of capacitors that can tolerby the conduction loss. For highest efficiency, keep the total power ate the worst-case ripple current with sufficient de-rating. When dissipation in each switch as low as possible. Conduction loss is using multiple capacitors in parallel to achieve lower ESR or a function of RDS(ON), and transition loss is a function of CRSS. The more bulk capacitance, sharing of ripple current between catransition losses become more significant as input voltages and pacitors will be approximately equal if all of the capacitors are switching frequency rise. the same type, and preferably from the same lot. Low ESR tantalum capacitors are recommended over aluminum electrolytic Gate charge losses are dissipated in the MSK5055RH and gate capacitors. Use ceramic decoupling capacitors to minimize high resistors if used. Gate charge is related to RDS(ON) and transition frequency noise. time. The power dissipated in the MSK5055RH and gate resistors due to gate charge by each MOSFET can be approximated by the following equation: COMPENSATING THE LOOP The feedback loop response can be optimized for the applicaPD(GATE DRIVE)= QG x VG x FSW tion by adjusting the values of the RC network from the VC pin to ground. Analysis is recommended to determine the phase Given: QG = Gate Charge margin and gain margin at the specific input voltage and load VG = Gate Drive Voltage conditions of the application. Typically, a single RC network FSW = Switching Frequency from VC to ground works well. An additional ceramic capacitor from VC to ground may be needed to cancel the zero and preParasitic FET capacitances can couple the negative switch node vent high frequency ringing or instability. transients onto the bottom MOSFET gate drive pin of the device, which could exceed the absolute maximum rating for the pin. A SELECTING THE INDUCTOR Schottky catch diode rated for 1A is recommended connected to The important parameters for inductor selection are: its value, ground to protect the pin from these transients. volt-second product, saturation and RMS current. To determine the peak current in the inductor add 1/2 of the p-p ripple current to the desired IOUT(MAX). A typical starting point for peak to peak current ripple is 20% of IOUT(MAX). Use the following equation to determine the RMS current: TOTAL DOSE RADIATION TEST PERFORMANCE Radiation performance curves have been generated for all testing performed by M.S. Kennedy.
