 Dual 2A, 30V Step-down Regulator with Programmable Frequency up to 1.4MHz
POWER MANAGEMENT Description
The SC2620 is a constant frequency dual current-mode switching regulator with integrated 2.3A, 30V switches. Its switching frequency can be programmed up to 1.4MHz per channel. Due to the SC2620's high frequency operation, small inductors and ceramic capacitors can be used, resulting in very compact power supplies. The two channels of the SC2620 operate at 180 out of phase for reduced input voltage ripples. Separate soft start/enable pins allow independent control of each channel. Channel 1 power good indicator can be used for output start up sequencing to prevent latch-up. Current-mode PWM control achieves fast transient response with simple loop compensation. Cycle-by-cycle current limiting and hiccup overload protection reduce power dissipation during overload.

Pin Descriptions
Pin # 1, 8 2, 7 3, 6 Pin Name FB1, FB2 BOOST1, BOOST2 SW1, SW2 Pin Function The inverting inputs of the error amplifiers. Each FB pin is tied to a resistive divider between its output and ground to set the channel output voltage. Supply pins to the power transistor drivers. Tie to external diode-capacitor charge pumps to generate drive voltages higher than V IN in order to fully enhance the internal NPN power switches. Emitters of the internal power NPN transistors. Each SW pin is connected to the corresponding inductor, freewheeling diode and bootstrap capacitor. Collectors of the internal power transistors and the power supplies to the corresponding current sensing circuits. Pins 4 and 5 are not internally connected. They must be joined on the PCB and closely bypassed to the power ground plane. Outputs of the internal error amplifiers. The voltages at these pins control the peak switch currents. RC networks at these pins stabilize the control loops. Pulling either pin below 0.7V stops the corresponding switching regulator. A capacitor from either SS pin to ground provides soft-start and overload hiccup functions for that channel. Pulling either SS pin below 0.8V with an open drain or collector transistor shuts off the corresponding regulator. To completely shut off the SC2620 to low-current state, pull both SS pins to ground. Soft-start is recommended for all applications. Analog ground. Connect to the PCB power ground plane at a single point. Power supply to the analog control section of the SC2620. Connect to the PVIN pins through an optional RC filter. An external resistor between this pin and the analog ground sets the channel switching frequency. Open collector output of Channel 1 power good comparator. Tie to an external pull-up resistor from the input or the output of the converter. PGOOD1 output becomes valid as soon as V IN rises above 1 VBE during power-up. PGOOD1 is actively pulled low until FB1 voltage rises to within 10% of its final regulation voltage. The exposed pad at the bottom of the package is electrically connected to the ground pin of the SC2620. It also serves as a thermal contact to the circuit board. It is to be soldered to the analog ground plane of the PC board.

SC2620
POWER MANAGEMENT Operation
The SC2620 is a 30V 2-channel constant-frequency peak current-mode step-down switching regulator with integrated 2.3A power transistors. Both regulators in the SC2620 operate from a common input power supply and share the same voltage reference and the master oscillator. Turn-on of the power transistors is phase-shifted by 180. The two regulator cores are otherwise completely identical, independent and are capable of producing two separate outputs from the same input. The channel frequency can be programmed with an external resistor from the ROSC pin to ground. This allows the designer to set the switching frequency according to the input to the output voltage conversion ratio. Peak current-mode control is utilized for the SC2620. The double reactive poles of the output LC filter are reduced to a single real pole by the inner current loop, easing loop compensation. Fast transient response can be achieved with a simple Type-2 compensation network. Switch collector current is sensed with an integrated 6.3m sense resistor. The sensed current is summed with slopecompensating ramp before it is compared with the transconductance error amplifier output. The PWM comparator tripping point determines the switch turn-on pulse width (Figure 2). The current-limit comparator ILIM turns off the power switch when the sensed-signal exceeds the 20mV current-limit threshold. ILIM therefore provides cycle-by-cycle limit. Current-limit does not vary with dutycycle. An external charge pump (formed by the capacitor C2 and the diode D3 in Figure 1(a)) generates a voltage higher than the input rail at the BOOST pin. The bootstrapped voltage generated becomes the supply voltage for the power transistor driver. Driving the base of the power transistor above the input power supply rail minimizes the power transistor turn-on voltage and maximizes efficiency. The SS pin is a multiple-function pin. An external capacitor connected from the SS pin to ground together with the internal 1.8A and 2.6A current sources set the softstart and overload shutoff times of the regulator (Figure 3). The SS pin can also be used to shut off the corresponding regulator. When either SS pin is pulled below 0.8V, that regulator is turned off. If both SS pins are pulled below 0.2V, then the SC2620 undergoes overall shutdown. The current drawn from the input power supply reduces to 40A. When either SS pin is released, the corresponding soft-start capacitor is charged with a 2A current source (not shown in Figure 3). As either SS voltage exceeds 0.3V, the internal bias circuit of the SC2620 is enabled. The SC2620 draws 3.5mA from VIN. An internal fast charge circuit quickly charges the soft-start capacitor to 1V. At this juncture, the fast charge circuit turns off and the 1.8A current source slowly charges the soft-start capacitor. The output of the error amplifier is forced to track the slow soft-start ramp at the SS pin. When the COMP voltage exceeds 1.1V, the switching regulator starts to switch. During soft-start, the current limit of the converter is gradually increased until the converter output comes into regulation. Hiccup overload protection is utilized in the SC2620. Overload shutdown is disabled during soft-start (VSS < 2V). In Figure 3 the reset input of the overload latch will remain high if the SS voltage is below 2V. Once the soft-start capacitor is charged above 2V, the overload shutdown latch is enabled. As the load draws more current from the regulator, the current-limit comparator will limit the peak inductor current. This is cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Further increase in load current will cause the output voltage to decrease. If the output voltage falls below 70% of its set point, then the overload latch will be set and the soft-start capacitor will be discharged with a net current of 0.8A. The switching regulator is shut off until the softstart capacitor is discharged below 1V. At this moment, the overload latch is reset. The soft-start capacitor is recharged and the converter again undergoes soft-start. The regulator will go through soft-start, overload shutdown and restart until it is no longer overloaded. The power good comparator indicates that the channel 1 regulator output has risen to within 10% of its set value. The open collector output of the power good comparator will be actively pulled low if its feedback voltage is below 0.9V.

The intersection of this ramp with the output of the voltage feedback error amplifier determines the switch pulse width.

If the Example: Determine the maximum operating frequency of a dual 5V to 1.5V and 5V to 4V switching regulator using the SC2620. Assuming that VD = 0.45V, VCESAT = 0.25V and VIN = 4.5V (10% low line), the duty ratios D1 and D 2 of the 1.5V and 4V converters can be calculated using (2).

Assuming that VD = 0.45V, VCESAT = 0.25V and VIN = 26.4V (10% high line), the corresponding duty ratios, D1 and D2, of the 1.2V and 3.3V converters can be calculated using (2).

1.5V and the 4V converter is therefore
1 - D2 = 410kHz . 120ns
Transient headroom requires that channel frequency be lower than 410kHz. Inductor Selection The inductor ripple current IL for a non-synchronous stepdown converter in continuous-conduction mode is
IL = ( VOUT + VD )(1 - D) ( VOUT + VD )( VIN - VOUT - VCESAT ) = fL ( VIN + VD - VCESAT ) fL
To allow for transient headroom, the minimum operating switch on time should be at least 30% higher than the worst-case minimum on time exhibited in Figure 5. Designing for a switch on time of 150ns at VIN = 26.4 V , the maximum operating frequency of the 24V to 1.2V and 3.3V converter is
D1 = 410kHz . 150ns
(3) Minimum Off Time Limitation where f is the switching frequency and L is the inductance. The PWM latch in Figure 2 is reset every period by the clock. The clock also turns off the power transistor to refresh the bootstrap capacitor. This minimum off time limits the attainable duty cycle of the regulator at a given switching frequency. The measured minimum off time is 120ns. For a step-down converter, D increases with increasing In current-mode control, the slope of the modulating (sensed switch current) ramp should be steep enough to lessen jittery tendency but not so steep that large flux swing decreases efficiency. Inductor ripple current IL between 25-40% of the peak inductor current limit is a good compromise. Inductors so chosen are optimized in size and DCR. Setting IL = 0.3(2.3) = 0.69 A ,

( V + 0.45)( VIn - VOUT - 0.25) L = OUT ( VIN + 0.2)(0.69) f
where L is in H and f is in MHz. Equation (3) shows that for a given VOUT , IL increases as D decreases. If VIN varies over a wide range, then choose L based on the nominal input voltage. Always verify converter operation at the input voltage extremes. The peak current limits of both SC2620 power transistors are internally set at 3.2A. The peak current limits are dutycycle invariant and are guaranteed higher than 2.3A. The maximum load current is therefore conservatively:
IOUT (MAX ) = ILM - IL I = 2 .3 A - L 2 2
2 Power dissipated in the input capacitor is IRMS( CIN) (ESR) .

Equation (6) has a maximum value of
IOUT 1 ( at D = ), 2 2 corresponding to the worst-case power dissipation I2 ESR OUT in CIN. 4
(5)
A dual-channel step-down converter with interleaved switching reduces the RMS ripple current in the input capacitor to a fraction of that of a single-phase buck converter. If both power transistors in the SC2620 were to switch on in phase, the current drawn by the SC2620 would consist of current pulses with amplitude equal to the sum of the channel output currents. If each channel were delivering IOUT and operating at 50% duty cycle, then the input current would switch from zero to 2IOUT. The RMS ripple current in the input capacitor would then be IOUT. Power dissipated in CIN would be I2 ESR , 4 times that OUT of a single-channel converter. The SC2620 produces the highest RMS ripple current in CIN when only one channel is running and delivering the maximum output current (2A). The input capacitor therefore should have a RMS ripple current rating of at least 1A. Multi-layer ceramic capacitors, which have very low ESR (a few m) and can easily handle high RMS ripple current, are the ideal choice for input filtering. A single 4.7F or 10F X5R ceramic capacitor is adequate. For high voltage applications, a small ceramic (1F or 2.2F) can be placed in parallel with a low ESR electrolytic capacitor to satisfy both the ESR and bulk capacitance requirements. Output Capacitor The output ripple voltage VOUT of a buck converter can be expressed as
If IL = 0.3 ILM , then
IOUT(MAX ) = ILM -
IL 0.3ILM = ILM - = 0.85 ILM . 2 2
The saturation current of the inductor should be 20-30% higher than the peak current limit (2.3A). Low-cost powder iron cores are not suitable for high-frequency switching power supplies due to their high core losses. Inductors with ferrite cores should be used. Power Line Input Capacitor A buck converter draws pulse current with peak-to-peak amplitude equal to its output current IOUT from its input supply. An input capacitor placed between the supply and the buck converter filters the AC current and keeps the current drawn from the supply to a DC constant. The input capacitance CIN should be high enough to filter the pulse input current. Its equivalent series resistance (ESR) should be low so that power dissipated in the capacitor does not result in significant temperature rise and degrade reliability. For a single channel buck converter, the RMS ripple current in the input capacitor is
1 VOUT = IL ESR + 8 fC OUT
where COUT is the output capacitance.
(7)
IRMS( CIN) = IOUT D(1 - D) .
(6)
Inductor ripple current IL increases as D decreases (Equation (3)). The output ripple voltage is therefore the highest when VIN is at its maximum. The first term in (7) results from the ESR of the output capacitor while the

second term is due to the charging and discharging of COUT by the inductor ripple current. Substituting I L = 0.69A, f = 500kHz and COUT = 22F ceramic with ESR = 2m in (7), their bases will have to be driven from a power supply higher in voltage than VIN. The required driver supply voltage (at least 2.5V higher than the SW voltage over the industrial temperature range) is generated with a bootstrap circuit (the diode DBST and the capacitor CBST in Figure 7). The bootstrapped output (the common node between DBST and CBST) is connected to the BOOST pin of the SC2620. The power transistor in the SC2620 is first switched on to build up current in the inductor. When the transistor is switched off, the inductor current pulls the SW node low, allowing CBST to be charged through DBST. When the power switch is again turned on, the SW voltage goes high. This brings the BOOST voltage to VSW + VC BST , thus back-biasing DBST. CBST voltage increases with each subsequent switching cycle, as does the bootstrapped voltage at the BOOST pin. After a number of switching cycles, CBST will be fully charged to a voltage approximately equal to that applied to the anode of DBST. Figure 6 shows the typical minimum BOOST to SW voltage required to fully saturate the power transistor. This differential voltage ( = VC BST ) must be at least 1.8V at room temperature. This is also specified in the "Electrical Characteristics" as "Minimum Bootstrap Voltage". The minimum required V C BST increases as temperature decreases. The bootstrap circuit reaches equilibrium when the base charge drawn from CBST during transistor on time is equal to the charge replenished during the off interval.
VOUT = 0.69 A (2m + 11.4m) = 1.4mV + 7.8mV = 9.2mV
Depending on operating frequency and the type of capacitor, ripple voltage resulting from charging and discharging of COUT may be higer than that due to ESR. A 10F to 47F X5R ceramic capacitor is found adequate for output filtering in most applications. Ripple current in the output capacitor is not a concern because the inductor current of a buck converter directly feeds COUT, resulting in very low ripple current. Avoid using Z5U and Y5V ceramic capacitors for output filtering because these types of capacitors have high temperature and high voltage coefficients. Freewheeling Diode Use of Schottky barrier diodes as freewheeling rectifiers reduces diode reverse recovery input current spikes, easing high-side current sensing in the SC2620. These diodes should have an average forward current rating between 1A and 2A and a reverse blocking voltage of at least a few volts higher than the input voltage. For switching regulators operating at low duty cycles (i.e. low output voltage to input voltage conversion ratios), it is beneficial to use freewheeling diodes with somewhat higher average current ratings (thus lower forward voltages). This is because the diode conduction interval is much longer than that of the transistor. Converter efficiency will be improved if the voltage drop across the diode is lower. The freewheeling diodes should be placed close to the SW pins of the SC2620 to minimize ringing due to trace inductance. 10BQ015, 20BQ030 (International Rectifier), MBRM120LT3 (ON Semi), UPS120 and UPS140 (MicroSemi) are all suitable. Bootstrapping the Power Transistors To maximize efficiency, the turn-on voltage across the internal power NPN transistors should be minimized. If these transistors are to be driven into saturation, then

at the BOOST pin. The maximum BOOST pin voltage is about V IN + VOUT . If the output is below 2.8V, then DBST will preferably be a small Schottky diode (such as BAT-54) to maximize bootstrap voltage. A 0.33-0.47F bootstrap capacitor may be needed to reduce droop. Bench measurement shows that using Schottky bootstrapping diode has no noticeable efficiency benefit. The SC2620 can also be bootstrapped from the input (Figure 7(b)). This configuration is not as efficient as Figure 7(a). However this may be only option if the output voltage is less than 2.5V and there is no other supply with voltage higher than 2.5V. Voltage stress at the BOOST pin can be somewhat higher than 2VIN. The Zener diode in Figure 7(c) reduces the maximum BOOST pin voltage. The BOOST pin voltage should not exceed its absolute maximum rating of 42V. Figures 7(d) and (e) show how to bootstrap the SC2620 from a second power supply VS with voltage > 2.5V. VS in Figure 7(d) can be the output of the other channel. Figures 1(a), 17(a) and 18(a) show this bootstrapping method. If Channel 1 fails in these converters, Channel 2 will be shut off (See Sequencing the Outputs). Proper bootstrapping of Channel 2 therefore depends on the readiness of VOUT1. This may be a drawback in some applications. DBST in Figure 7(e) prevents start up difficulty if VIN comes up before VS.

Since VOUT < VIN, DBST should always be tied to VOUT (if >2.5V) to maximize efficiency. In general efficiency penalty increases as D decreases. Figure 7 summarizes various ways of bootstrapping the SC2620. A fast switching PN diode (such as 1N4148 or 1N914) and a small (0.1F - 0.47F) ceramic capacitor can be used. In Figure 7(a) the power switch is bootstrapped from the output. This is the most efficient configuration and it also results in the least voltage stress

Since the inductor current charges CBST, the bootstrap circuit requires some minimum load current to get going. Figures 8(a) and 8(b) show the dependence of the minimum input voltage required to properly bootstrap a 5V and a 3.3V converters on the load current. Once started the bootstrap circuit is able to sustain itself down to zero load. Shutdown and Soft-Start Each regulating channel of the SC2620 has its own softstart circuit. Pulling its soft-start pin below 0.8V with an open-collector NPN or an open-drain NMOS transistor turns off the corresponding regulator. The other regulator continues to operate. With one channel turned off, the internal bias circuit is kept alive. In the "Typical Characteristics", the soft-start pin current is plotted against the soft-start voltage with VIN = 5V. When one of the softstart pins is pulled low, 105A flows out of that pin. Pulling both soft-start pins below 0.2V shuts off the internal bias circuit of the SC2620. The total VIN current decreases to 40A. In shutdown either SS pin sources only 2A. A fast charging circuit (enabled by the internal bias circuit), which charges the soft-start capacitor below 1V, causes the difference in the soft-start pin currents. If either SS pin is released in shutdown, the internal current source pulls up on the SS pin. When this SS voltage reaches 0.3V, the SC2620 turns on and the VIN quiescent current

increases to 3.3mA. The current flowing out of the other SS pin (which is still pulled low) increases to 105A. The fast charging circuit quickly pulls the released soft-start capacitor to 1V (slightly below the switching threshold). The fast charging circuit is then disabled. A 1.8A current source continues to charge the soft-start capacitor (Figure 3). The soft-start voltage ramp at the SS pin clamps the error amplifier output (Figure 2). During regulator startup, COMP voltage follows the SS voltage. The converter starts to switch when its COMP voltage exceeds 1.1V. The peak inductor current gradually increases until the converter output comes into regulation. Proper soft-start prevents output overshoot during start-up. Current drawn from the input supply is also well controlled. Notice that the inductor current, not the converter output voltage, is ramped during soft-start. Both soft-start capacitors are charged to a final voltage of about 2.4V. Overload / Short-Circuit Protection Each current limit comparator in the SC2620 limits the peak inductor current to 3.2A (typical). The regulator During normal soft-start, both the COMP voltage and the switch current limit gradually increase until the converter becomes regulated. If the regulator output is shorted to output voltage will fall if the load is increased above the current limit. If overload is detected (the output voltage falls below 70% of the set voltage), then the regulator will be shut off. An internal 0.8A current sink starts to discharge the soft-start capacitor. As the soft-start capacitor is discharged below 1V, the discharge current source turns off and the soft-start capacitor is recharged with a 1.8A current source. The regulator undergoes softstart. During soft-start (1V < VSS < 2V), the overload shutdown latch in Figure 3 cannot be set. When VSS exceeds 2V, the set input of the overload latch is no longer blanked. If VFB is still below 0.7V, then the regulator will undergo shutdown and restart. The soft-start process should allow the output voltage to reach 70% of its final value before CSS is charged above 2V. Figures 9(a) and 9(b) show the timing diagrams of successful and failed start-up waveforms respectively. The soft-start interval should also be made sufficiently long so that the output voltage rises monotonically and it does not overshoot its final voltage by more than 5%.

ground, then the COMP voltage will continue to rise to its 2.4V upper limit. The SC2620 will reach its cycle-by-cycle current limit sometime during the soft-start charging phase (see Figure 17(c)). As described previously, the switches in the SC2620 either do not turn on at all or for at least 105ns. With the output shorted, the error amplifier will command the regulator to operate at full duty cycle. The current limit comparator will turn off the switch if the switch current exceeds 3.2A. However, this happens only after the switch is turned on for 105ns. During switch off time, the inductor current ramps down at a slow rate determined by the forward voltage of the freewheeling diode and the resistance of the short. If the resulting reverse volt-second is insufficient to reset the inductor before the start of the next cycle, then the inductor current will keep increasing until the diode forward voltage becomes high enough to achieve volt-second balance. This makes the current limit comparator ineffective. Short circuit robustness will be enhanced if the switching frequency is set below 500kHz at high VIN (> 20V). This increases the off time and keeps the inductor current within bounds. The regulator is to be checked under realistic short circuit condition as the residual resistance of the short can significantly influence circuit behavior. Shortening the soft-start interval from the onset of switching to hiccup enable also makes short circuit operation more robust. A 22-47nF soft-start capacitor is found adequate for most applications. In Figure 17(c), Channel 2 undergoes repeated shutdown and restart ("hiccup") with its output shorted. VSS appears as an asymmetrical triangular wave. The resistance of the short appears to be 17m. Power Good Indicator The PGOOD1 pin (Pin 15) is the open-collector output of Channel 1 power good comparator. This slow comparator is incorporated with a small amount of hysteresis. The FB low-to-high trip voltage of the power good comparator is 90% of the final regulation voltage. A pull-up resistor from the PGOOD1 pin to the input supply or the regulator output sets the logic high level of the comparator. The power good comparator output becomes valid provided that VIN is above 0.9V. In shutdown the power good output is actively pulled low. A power good pull-up resistor tied to the input will therefore increase current drain during shutdown. Tying the power good pull-up resistor to the regulator output is preferred, as this will minimize the
2006 Semtech Corp. 17
shutdown supply current. In shutdown there is no voltage at the switching regulator output or current in the PGOOD1 pull-up resistor. If the PGOOD1 output high level (= VOUT) is unacceptably low, then power good pull-up from the input or a separate power supply will be the only choice. Sequencing the Outputs As mentioned above, pulling either soft-start pin low with an external transistor shuts off the corresponding regulator (Figure 10). Releasing the soft-start pin enables that channel and allows it to start. Delaying the release of the soft-start pin of one channel with respect to the other is a straightforward way of sequencing the outputs. Figure 10(a) shows this method using two external transistors M1 and M2. M1 is turned off first, allowing channel 1 to start. Channel 2 is then enabled after time TD. PGOOD1 can also be used in conjunction with Channel 2 soft-start to delay start of that regulator. This method is depicted in Figure 10(b). SS2 is pulled low and channel 2 is kept off until channel 1 output rises to 90% of its set voltage. Loop Compensation Figure 11 shows a simplified equivalent circuit of a stepdown converter. The power stage, which consists of the current-mode PWM comparator, the power switch, the freewheeling diode and the inductor, feeds the output network. The power stage can be modeled as a voltagecontrolled current source, producing an output current proportional to its controlling input V COMP . Its transconductance GMP is 8-1.

Computed R5, C5 and C6 can indeed result in near optimal load transient responses in over half of the applications. However in other cases empirically determined compensation networks based on optimized load transient responses may differ from those calculated by a factor of 3. Therefore checking the transient response of the converter is imperative. Starting with calculated R5, C5 and C6 (using n=1 in Equations (11)-(13)), apply the largest expected load step to the converter at the maximum operating VIN. Observe the load transient response of the converter while adjusting R5, C5 and C6. Choose the largest R5, the smallest C5 and C6 so that the inductor current waveform does not show excessive ringing or overshoot (see Figures 13(a), 13(b), 16(b) and 16(c)).

Bench measurement shows that compensation components computed from our simplified linear model give very good load transient response for Channel 1 (Figure 13(a)). However, optimizing load transient for Channel 2 will require a set of compensation component values different from those calculated above. Loop compensation networks shown in Figure 1(a) are empirically optimized for load transients. Figures 13(a) and 13(b) show the corresponding load transient responses.

Since the power switches are already integrated within the SC2620, connecting the anodes of both freewheeling diodes close to the negative terminal of the input bypass capacitor minimizes size of the switched current loop. The input bypass capacitors should be placed close to the PVIN pins. Shortening the traces of the SW and BOOST nodes reduces the parasitic trace inductance at these nodes. This not only reduces EMI but also decreases switching voltage spikes at these nodes.
