10 ltc1538-aux/ltc1539 o peratio n u main control loop the ltc1538-aux/ltc1539 use a constant frequency, current mode step-down architecture. during normal op- eration, the top mosfet is turned on each cycle whe n the oscillator sets the rs latch and turned off when th e main current comparator i1 resets the rs latch. the peak inductor current at which i1 resets the rs latch is con- trolled by the voltage on the i th1 (i th2 ) pin, which is the output of each error amplifier (ea). the v prog1 pin, described in the pin functions, allows the ea to re ceive a selectively attenuated output feedback voltage v fb1 from the sense 1 pin while v prog2 and v osense2 allow ea to receive an output feedback voltage v fb2 from either inter- nal or external resistive dividers on the second co ntroller. when the load current increases, it causes a slight de- crease in v fb relative to the 1.19v reference, which in turn causes the i th1 (i th2 ) voltage to increase until the average inductor current matches the new load current. afte r the large top mosfet has turned off, the bottom mosfet is turned on until either the inductor current starts to reverse, as indicated by current comparator i2, or the begin ning of the next cycle. the top mosfet drivers are biased from floating boo t strap capacitor c b , which normally is recharged during each off cycle. when v in decreases to a voltage close to v out , however, the loop may enter dropout and attempt t o turn on the top mosfet continuously. the dropout de tec- tor counts the number of oscillator cycles that the top mosfet remains on and periodically forces a brief o ff period to allow c b to recharge. the main control loop is shut down by pulling the r un/ ss1 (run/ss2) pin low. releasing run/ss1 (run/ss2) allows an internal 3 a current source to charge soft start capacitor c ss . when c ss reaches 1.3v, the main control loop is enabled with the i th1 (i th2 ) voltage clamped at approximately 30% of its maximum value. as c ss contin- ues to charge, i th1 (i th2 ) is gradually released allowing normal operation to resume. when both run/ss1 and run/ss2 are low, all ltc1538-aux/ltc1539 functions are shut down except for the 5v standby regulator, internal reference and a comparator. refer to the ltc1438/ltc1439 for applications which do not require a 5v standby regulator. comparator ov guards against transient overshoots > 7.5% by turning off the top mosfet and keeping it off until the fault is removed. low current operation adaptive power mode allows the ltc1539 to automati- cally change between two output stages sized for di fferent load currents. the tgl1 (tgl2) and bg1 (bg2) pins d rive large synchronous n-channel mosfets for operation a t high currents, while the tgs1 (tgs2) pin drives a m uch smaller n-channel mosfet used in conjunction with a schottky diode for operation at low currents. this allows the loop to continue to operate at normal operating fre- quency as the load current decreases without incurr ing the large mosfet gate charge losses. if the tgs1 (tgs2) pin is left open, the loop defaults to burst mode opera tion in which the large mosfets operate intermittently base d on load demand. adaptive power mode provides constant frequency operation down to approximately 1% of rat ed load current. this results in an order of magnitude reduc- tion of load current before burst mode operation co m- mences. without the small mosfet (ie: no adaptive power mode) the transition to burst mode operation is approximately 10% of rated load current. the transi tion to low current operation begins when comparator i2 det ects current reversal and turns off the bottom mosfet. i f the voltage across r sense does not exceed the hysteresis of i2 (approximately 20mv) for one full cycle, then on follow- ing cycles the top drive is routed to the small mos fet at the tgs1 (tgs2) pin and the bg1 (bg2) pin is disabl ed. this continues until an inductor current peak excee ds 20mv/r sense or the i th1 (i th2 ) voltage exceeds 0.6v, either of which causes drive to be returned to the tgl1 (tgl2) pin on the next cycle. two conditions can force continuous synchronous ope ra- tion, even when the load current would otherwise di ctate low current operation. one is when the common mode voltage of the sense + 1 (sense + 2) and sense 1 (sense 2) pins are below 1.4v, and the other is when the sfb1 pin is below 1.19v. the latter condition is us ed to assist in secondary winding regulation, as describe d in the applications information section.

11 ltc1538-aux/ltc1539 o peratio n u frequency synchronization a phase-locked loop (pll) is available on the ltc15 39 to allow the oscillator to be synchronized to an ex ternal source connected to the pllin pin. the output of th e phase detector at the pll lpf pin is also the contr ol input of the oscillator, which operates over a 0v to 2.4v range corresponding to 30% to 30% in frequency. when locked, the pll aligns the turn-on of the top mosfe t to the rising edge of the synchronizing signal. when p llin is left open, pll lpf goes low, forcing the oscilla tor to minimum frequency. power-on reset the por1 pin is an open drain output which pulls lo w when the main regulator output voltage of the ltc15 39 first controller is out of regulation. when the out put voltage rises to within 5% of regulation, a timer i s started which releases por1 after 2 16 (65536) oscillator cycles. auxiliary linear regulator the auxiliary linear regulator in the ltc1538-aux a nd ltc1539 controls an external pnp transistor for ope ration up to 500ma. a precise internal auxfb resistive div ider is invoked when the auxdr pin is above 9.5v to allow regulated 12v vpp supplies to be easily implemented . when auxdr is below 8.5v an external feedback divid er may be used to set other output voltages. taking th e auxon pin low shuts down the auxiliary regulator pr ovid- ing a convenient logic-controlled power supply. the aux block can be used as a comparator having it s inverting input tied to the internal 1.19v referenc e. the auxdr pin is used as the output and requires an ext ernal pull-up to a supply of less than 8.5v in order to i nhibit the invoking of the internal resistive divider. intv cc / extv cc power power for the top and bottom mosfet drivers and mos t of the other ltc1538-aux/ltc1539 circuitry is deriv ed from the intv cc pin. the bottom mosfet driver supply is also connected to intv cc . when the extv cc pin is left open, an internal 5v low dropout regulator supplies intv cc power. if extv cc is taken above 4.8v, the 5v regulator is turned off and an internal switch is turned on to c onnect extv cc to intv cc . this allows the intv cc power to be derived from a high efficiency external source such as the output of the regulator itself or a secondary windi ng, as described in the applications information section. the 5v/20ma intv cc regulator can be used as a standby regulator when the two controllers are in shutdown or when either or both controllers are on. irrespectiv e of the signals on the run/ss pins, the intv cc pin will follow the voltage applied to the extv cc pin when the voltage applied to the extv cc pin is taken above 4.8v. the externally applied voltage is required to be less than the vol tage applied to the v in pin at all times, even when both control- lers are shut down. this prevents a voltage backfee d situation from the source applied to the extv cc pin to the v in pin. if the extv cc pin is tied to the first controllers 5v output, the nominal intv cc pin voltage will stay in the guaranteed range of 4.7v to 5.2v. (refer to functional diagram) applicatio n s i n fo r m atio n wu u u the basic ltc1539 application circuit is shown in f ig- ure 1. external component selection is driven by the load requirement and begins with the selection of r sense . once r sense is known, c osc and l can be chosen. next, the power mosfets and d1 are selected. finally, c in and c out are selected. the circuit shown in figure 1 can be config- ured for operation up to an input voltage of 28v (l imited by the external mosfets). r sense selection for output current r sense is chosen based on the required output current. the ltc1538-aux/ltc1539 current comparator has a maximum threshold of 150mv/r sense and an input com- mon mode range of sgnd to intv cc . the current com- parator threshold sets the peak of the inductor cur rent, yielding a maximum average output current i max equal to the peak value less half the peak-to-peak ripple cu rrent, ? i l . downloaded from: http:///

C = () () 13710 11 4 a graph for selecting c osc vs frequency is given in figure 2. as the operating frequency is increased the gate charge losses will be higher, reducing efficiency (see eff iciency considerations). the maximum recommended switching frequency is 400khz. when using figure 2 for synchronizable applications, choose c osc corresponding to a frequency approximately 30% below your center frequency. (see phase-locked loop and frequency sychronization). inductor value calculation the operating frequency and inductor selection are inter- related in that higher operating frequencies allow the use of smaller inductor and capacitor values. so why wo uld anyone ever choose to operate at lower frequencies with larger components? the answer is efficiency. a high er frequency generally results in lower efficiency bec ause of mosfet gate charge losses. in addition to this basi c trade off, the effect of inductor value on ripple current and low current operation must also be considered. the inductor value has a direct effect on ripple cu rrent. the inductor ripple current ? i l decreases with higher induc- tance or frequency and generally increases with hig her v in or v out : ? i fl v v v l out out in = ?? ? ?? ? 1 1 ()( ) C accepting larger values of ? i l allows the use of low inductances, but results in higher output voltage r ipple and greater core losses. a reasonable starting poin t for setting ripple current is ? i l = 0.4(i max ). remember, the maximum ? i l occurs at the maximum input voltage. the inductor value also has an effect on low curren t operation. the transition to low current operation begins operating frequency (khz) c osc value (pf) 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 100 200 300 400 ltc1538 ?f02 500 0 v plllpf = 0v figure 2. timing capacitor value operating frequency (khz) 0 0 inductor value ( h) 10 20 30 40 60 50 100 150 200 1538 f03 250 300 50 v out = 5.0v v out = 3.3v v out = 2.5v figure 3. recommended inductor values downloaded from: http:///

(a higher r ds(on) mosfet has a smaller gate capacitance and thus requires less current to charg e its gate). for all ltc1538-aux and cost sensitive ltc15 39 applications, the small mosfet is not required. the circuit then begins burst mode operation as the load curren t drops. the peak-to-peak drive levels are set by the intv cc volt- age. this voltage is typically 5v during start-up ( see extv cc pin connection). consequently, logic level thresh- old mosfets must be used in most ltc1538-aux/ ltc1539 applications. the only exception is applica tions in which extv cc is powered from an external supply greater than 8v (must be less than 10v), in which s tandard threshold mosfets (v gs(th) < 4v) may be used. pay close attention to the bv dss specification for the mosfets as well; many of the logic level mosfets are limited to 30v or less. selection criteria for the power mosfets include th e "on" resistance r sd(on) , reverse transfer capacitance c rss , input voltage and maximum output current. when the ltc1538-aux/ltc1539 are operating in continuous mod e the duty cycles for the top and bottom mosfets are given by: main switch duty cycle synchronous switch duty cycle = = () v v vv v out in in out in C kool m is a registered trademark of magnetics, inc. downloaded from: http:///
