THEORY OF OPERATION General Overview The SP7663 is a fixed frequency, voltage mode, synchronous PWM regulator optimizedforhighefficiency.Theparthas beenspecificallydesignedforsinglesupply operation from a 5V to 22V input. The heart of the SP7663 is a wide bandwidth transconductanceamplifierdesignedtoaccommodate Type II and Type III compensation schemes. A precision 0.8V reference, present on the positive terminal of the error amplifier, permits the programming of the output voltage down to 0.8V via the VFB pin.Theoutputoftheerroramplifier,COMP, is compared to a .0V peak-to-peak ramp, whichisresponsiblefortrailingedgePWM control.ThisvoltagerampandPWMcontrol logic are governed by the internal oscillator thataccuratelysetsthePWMfrequencyto 600kHz. The SP7663 contains two unique control features that are very powerful in distributed applications. First, nonsynchronous driver control is enabled during startup, to prohibit the low side switch from pulling down the output until the high side switch has attempted to turn on. Second, a 00% duty cycle timeout ensures that the low side switch is periodically enhanced during extended periods at 00% duty cycle. This guarantees the synchronized refreshing of the BST capacitor during very large duty ratios. The SP7663 also contains a number of valuable protection features. Programmable VIN UVLO allows the user to set the exact value at which the conversion voltage can safely begin down-conversion, and an internal VCC UVLO which ensures that the controller itself has enough voltage to properly operate. Other protection features include thermal shutdown and short-circuit detection. In the event that either a thermal, short-circuit, or UVLO fault is detected, the SP7663 is forced into an idle state where the output drivers areheldoffforafiniteperiodbeforearestart is attempted.
Nov3-06 Rev L
Soft Start "Soft Start" is achieved when a power converter ramps up the output voltage while controlling the magnitude of the input supply source current. In a modern step down converter, ramping up the positive terminal oftheerroramplifiercontrolssoftstart.Asa result,excesssourcecurrentcanbedefined as the current required to charge the output capacitor. IViN = COut * (VOut / TSOft-StArt) The SP7663 provides the user with the option to program the soft start rate by tying a capacitor from the SS pin to GND.The selection of this capacitor is based on the 0A pull up current present at the SS pin and the 0.8V reference voltage. Therefore, theexcesssourcecanberedefinedas: IViN = COut * [VOut *0A / (CSS * 0.8V)]
Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO) The SP7663 has two separate UVLO comparators to monitor the bias (Vcc) and Input (ViN) voltages independently. The Vcc UVLO is internally set to 4.25V. The ViN UVLO is programmable through UViN pin. When UVIN pin is greater than 2.5V the SP7663 is permitted to start up pending the removal of all other faults. A pair of internal resistors isconnectedtoUVINasshowninthefigure below. SP7663

THEORY OF OPERATION Therefore without external biasing the ViN start threshold is 9.5V. A small capacitor mayberequiredbetweenUVINandGNDto filteroutnoise.ForapplicationswithViN of 5V or 3.3V, connect UVIN directly to ViN. To program the ViN start threshold, use a pair of external resistors as shown. If external resistors are an order of magnitude smaller than internal resistors, then the ViN start thresholdisgivenby: ViN(start) = 2.5 V* (R4+R5)/R5 For example, if it is required to have a ViN startthresholdof7V,thenletR5=5Kand using the ViN start threshold equation we get R4=9.09K. Thermal and Short-Circuit Protection Because the SP7663 is designed to drive large output current, there is a chance that the power converter will become too hot. Therefore, an internal thermal shutdown (45C) has been included to prevent the IC from malfunctioning at extreme temperatures. A short-circuit detection comparator has also been included in the SP7663 to protect against an accidental short at the output of the power converter. This comparator constantly monitors the positive and negative terminals of the error amplifier, and if the VfB pin falls more than 250mV (typical) below the positive reference, a short-circuit fault is set. Because the SS pin overrides the internal 0.8V reference during soft start, the SP7663 is capable of detecting short-circuit faults throughout the duration of soft start as well as in regular operation. Over-Current Protection The Over-current protection feature can onlybeusedonoutputvoltages3.3volts. It is limited by the common mode rating of theoperationalamplifierusedtosensethe voltage across the inductor. Over-current is detected by monitoring a differential voltage

Over-current detection circuit Inputs to an over-current detection comparator, set to trigger at 60 mV nominal, are connected to the inductor as shown. Since the average voltage sensed by the comparator is equal to the product of inductor current and inductor DC resistance (DCR), then IMAx = 60mV / DCR. Solving thisequationforthespecificinductorincircuit , IMAx = 9.2A. When IMAx is reached, a 20 ms time-out is initiated, during which top and bottom drivers are turned off. Following the time-out, a restart is attempted. If the fault condition persists, then the timeout is repeated (referred to as hiccup). Increasing the Current Limit If it is desired to set IMAx > {60mV / DCR} (in this case larger than 9.6A), then a resistor RS3 shouldbeaddedasshowninthenextfigure. RS3 forms a resistor divider and reduces the voltage seen by the comparator. (IMAx * DCR) Since:60mV = RS3 {RS + RS2 + RS3} SolvingforRS3weget: RS3 = [60mV * (RS1 + RS2)] [(IMAx * DCR) - 60mV]

Over-current detection circuit for Imax < {60mV / DCR} Handling of Faults Upon the detection of power (UVLO), thermal, or short-circuit faults, the SP7663 is forced into an idle state where the SS and COMPpinsarepulledlowandbothswitches are held off. In the event of UVLO fault, the SP7663 remains in this idle state until the UVLO fault is removed. Upon the detection of a thermal or short-circuit fault, an internal 20ms timer is activated. In the event of a short-circuit fault, a restart is attempted immediately after the 20ms timeout expires. Whereas, when a thermal fault is detected the 20ms delay continuously recycles and a restart cannot be attempted until the thermal fault is removed and the timer expires.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION ratios. In the event that the high side NFET is on for 20 continuous clock cycles, a reset isgiventothePWMflipflophalfwaythrough the 2stcycle.ThisforcesGLtoriseforthe cycle, in turn refreshing the BST capacitor. The boost capacitor is used to generate a high voltage drive supply for the high side switch, which is Vcc above ViN. Power MOSFETs The SP7663 contains a pair of integrated low resistance N-channel switches designed to drive up to 6A of output current. Care should be taken to de-rate the output current based on the thermal conditions in the system such as ambient temperature, airflow and heat sinking.Maximumoutputcurrentcouldbe limited by thermal limitations of a particular application by taking advantage of the integrated-over-temperature protective scheme employed in the SP7663. The SP7663 incorporates a built-in overtemperature protection to prevent internal overheating. Setting Output Voltages The SP7663 can be set to different output voltages. The relationship in the following formula is based on a voltage divider from the output to the feedback pin VfB, which is set to an internal reference voltage of 0.80V. Standard1%metalfilmresistorsofsurface mount size 0603 are recommended. VOut = 0.80V [R / R2 + ] =>
theamplifier'scurrentlimited(+/-150A) transconductance, there are many ways to compensate the voltage loop or to control the COMPpinexternally.Ifasimple,single-pole, single-zero response is desired, then compensation can be as simple as an RC circuit toGround.Ifamorecomplexcompensation isrequired,thentheamplifierhasenough bandwidth(45at4MHz),andenoughgain (60dB) to run Type III compensation schemes with adequate gain and phase margins at crossover frequencies greater than 50kHz. The common mode output of the error amplifieris0.9Vto2.2V.Therefore,thePWM voltage ramp has been set between .V and 2.2V to ensure proper 0% to 00% duty cycle capability. The voltage loop also includes two other very important features. One is a nonsynchronous startup mode. Basically, the synchronousrectifiercannotturnonunless the high side switch has attempted to turn on or the SS pin has exceeded .7V. This feature prevents the controller from "dragging down" the output voltage during startup or in fault modes.

Where R1=10Kand forVOut = 0.80V setting, simply remove R2 from the board. Furthermore, one could select the value of the R and R2 combination to meet the exact output voltage setting by restricting the R resistance range such that 10K < R1 < 100Kforoverallsystemloopstability.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION and provide low core loss at the high switching frequency. Low cost powderediron cores have a gradual saturation characteristic but can introduce considerable AC core loss, especially when the inductor value is relatively low and the ripple current is high. Ferrite materials, although more expensive, have an abrupt saturation characteristic with the inductance dropping sharply when the peak design current is exceeded. Nevertheless, they are preferred at high switching frequencies because they present very low core loss while the designer is only required to prevent saturation. In general, ferrite or molypermalloy materials are a better choice for all but the most cost sensitive applications. Optimizing Efficiency The power dissipated in the inductor is equal to the sum of the core and copper losses. To minimize copper losses, the winding resistance needs to be minimized, but this usually comes at the expense of a larger inductor.Corelosseshaveamoresignificant contribution at low output current where the copper losses are at a minimum, and can typically be neglected at higher output currents where the copper losses dominate. Core loss information is usually available from the magnetics vendor. Proper inductor selection can affect the resulting power supplyefficiencybymorethan15%! The copper loss in the inductor can be calculatedusingthefollowingequation: PL(Cu) = I L(rMS) * rwiNDiNg where IL(rMS)istheRMSinductorcurrent thatcanbecalculatedasfollows: IL(rMS) = IOut(MAx) *

Inductor Selection There are many factors to consider in selecting the inductor including core material, inductance vs. frequency, current handling capability,efficiency,sizeandEMI.Inatypical SP7663 circuit, the inductor is chosen primarily for value, saturation current and DC resistance. Increasing the inductor value will decrease output voltage ripple, but degrade transient response. Low inductor values provide the smallest size, but cause large ripple currents,poorefficiencyandrequiremore output capacitance to smooth out the larger ripple current. The inductor must be able to handle the peak current at the switching frequency without saturating, and the copper resistance in the winding should be kept as low as possible to minimize resistive power loss. A good compromise between size, loss and cost is to set the inductor ripple current to be within 20% to 40% of the maximum output current. The switching frequency and the inductor operating point determine the inductor value asfollows: L =
.
ViN(MAx) * s * Kr * IOut(MAx)
VOut * (ViN(MAx) - VOut)
where:
s = switching frequency
Kr = ratio of the AC inductor ripple current to the maximum output current Thepeak-to-peakinductorripplecurrentis: IPP =

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION VOut =
Output Capacitor Selection The required ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and capacitance drive the selection of the type and quantity of the output capacitors. The ESR must be small enough that both the resistive voltage deviation due to a step change in the load current and the output ripple voltage do not exceed the tolerance limits expected on the output voltage. During an output load transient, the output capacitor must supply all the additional current demanded by the load until the SP7663 adjusts the inductor current to the new value. In order to maintain VOut,the capacitance must be large enough so that the output voltage is held up while the inductor current ramps to the value corresponding to the new load current. Additionally, the ESR in the output capacitor causes a step in the output voltage equal to the current. Because of the fast transient response and inherent 00% to 0% duty cycle capability provided by the SP7663 when exposed to output load transients, the output capacitor is typically chosen for ESR, not for capacitance value. The ESR of the output capacitor, combined with the inductor ripple current, is typically the main contributor to output voltage ripple. The maximum allowable ESR required to maintain a specifiedoutputvoltageripplecan be calculated by: ReSr VOut IPk-Pk

The input capacitor should be selected for ripple current rating, capacitance and voltage rating. The input capacitor must meet the ripple current requirement imposed by the switching current. In continuous conduction mode, the source current of thehigh-sideMOSFETisapproximatelya square wave of duty cycle VOut/ViN.More accurately, the current wave form is trapezoidal,givenafiniteturn-onandturn-off, switchtransitionslope.Mostofthiscurrent is supplied by the input bypass capacitors.TheRMScurrenthandlingcapability of the input capacitors is determined at maximum output current and under the assumption that the peak-to-peak inductor ripplecurrentislow,itisgivenby:
ICiN(rMS) = IOut(MAx) * D(1 - D)
The worst case occurs when the duty cycle Dis50%andgivesanRMScurrentvalue equal to IOUT/2. Select input capacitors with adequate ripple current rating to ensure reliable operation. The power dissipated in the input capacitoris: PCiN = I CiN(rMS) * reSr(CiN) Thiscanbecomeasignificantpartofpower losses in a converter and hurt the overall energy transfer efficiency. The input voltage ripple primarily depends on the input

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Loop Compensation Design The open loop gain of the whole system can be divided into the gain of the error amplifier,PWMmodulator,buckconverteroutput stage, and feedback resistor divider. In order to cross over at the desired frequency cut-off (FCO),thegainoftheerroramplifiermust compensate for the attenuation caused by the rest of the loop at this frequency. The goal of loop compensation is to manipulate loop frequency response such that its crossover gain at 0db, results in a slope of -20db/decade. The first step of compensation design is to pick the loop crossover frequency. High crossover frequency is desirable for fast transient response, but often jeopardizes the power supply stability. Crossover frequency should be higher than the ESR zero but less than /5 of the switching frequency or
capacitor ESR and capacitance. Ignoring the inductor ripple current, the input voltage ripplecanbedeterminedby: ViN =
IOut(MAx)*reSr(CiN) + IOut(MAx)*VOut*(ViN - VOut) V2iN * s * CiN
The capacitor type suitable for the output capacitors can also be used for the input capacitors. However, exercise extra caution when tantalum capacitors are used. Tantalum capacitors are known for catastrophic failure when exposed to surge current, and input capacitors are prone to such surge current when power supplies are connected "live" to low impedance power sources. Although tantalum capacitors have been successfully employed at the input, it is generally not recommended.
