( 750 mv ) on - time ( t on ) dl drives high when on - time is completed . dl remains high until inductor current reaches zero . dead time varies according to load figuref5ffpowerfsavefoperation smart power save protection active loads may leak current from a higher voltage into the switcher output. under light load conditions with power save enabled, this can force v out to slowly rise and reach the over-voltage threshold, resulting in a hard shut - down. smart power save prevents this condition. when the fb voltage exceeds 10% above nominal (exceeds 825mv), the device immediately disables power-save, and dl drives high to turn on the low-side mosfet. this draws current from v out through the inductor and causes v out to fall. when v fb drops back to the 750mv trip point, a normal t on switching cycle begins. this method pre - vents a hard ovp shutdown and also cycles energy from v out back to v in . figure 6 shows typical waveforms for the smart power save feature. www.datasheet.co.kr datasheet pdf - http://www..net/ SC410A 15 applications information (continued) fb threshold high -

tive with respect to ground. if this mosfet voltage drop exceeds the voltage across r ilim , the voltage at the ilim node will be negative and current limit will activate. the current limit then keeps the low-side mosfet on and will not allow another high-side on-time, until the current in the low-side mosfet reduces enough to bring the ilim voltage back up to zero. this method regulates the inductor valley current at the level shown by ilim in figure 7. time i peak i load i lim i n d u c t o r c u r r e n t figuref7ffvalleyfcurrentflimit in the SC410A, the valley current limit is set to 2a. this results in a peak inductor current of 2a plus the peak-to- peak ripple current. in this situation, the average (load) current through the inductor is 2a plus one-half the peak- to-peak ripple current. the internal 10 a current source is temperature compen - sated at 2500ppm in order to provide tracking with the rds on . peak inductor current the peak current through the inductor and switching fets must be less than 5a. the only way to meet this require - ment is to select the switching frequency and inductor value such that the peak inductor current is less than or equal to 5a when the trough of the inductor current is 2a. soft start of pwm regulator soft start is achieved in the pwm regulator by using an internal voltage ramp as the reference for the fb com - parator. the voltage ramp is generated using an internal charge pump which drives the reference from zero to 750mv in ~1.8mv increments, using an internal ~500khz oscillator. when the ramp voltage reaches 750mv, the ramp is ignored and the fb comparator switches over to a fixed 750mv threshold. during soft start the output voltage tracks the internal ramp, which limits the start-up inrush current and provides a controlled soft start profle for a wide range of applications. typical soft start ramp time is 850 s. during soft start the regulator turns off the low-side mosfet on any cycle if the inductor current falls to zero. this prevents negative inductor current, allowing the device to start into a pre-biased output. power good output the pgood (power good) output is an open-drain output which requires a pull-up resistor. when the output voltage is 10% below the nominal voltage, pgood is pulled low. it is held low until the output voltage returns to the nominal voltage. pgood is held low during soft start and activated approximately 1ms after v out reaches regulation. www.datasheet.co.kr datasheet pdf - http://www..net/ SC410A 16 applications information (continued) pgood will transition low if the v fb pin exceeds +20% of nominal, which is also the over-voltage shutdown thresh - old (900mv). output over-voltage protection ovp (over-voltage protection) becomes active as soon as the device is enabled. the threshold is set at 750mv + 20% (900mv). when v fb exceeds the ovp threshold, the output goes to a tri-state with both fets disabled, the pwm is dis - abled and enters automatic fault recovery. there is a 5s delay built into the ovp detector to prevent false transi - tions. pgood is also low during an ovp event. output under-voltage protection when v fb falls to 75% of its nominal voltage (falls to 562.5mv) for eight consecutive clock cycles, the switcher is shut of and the dh and dl drives are pulled low to turn off the mosfets. the controller is disabled and enters automatic recovery. over-temperature protection if the temperature rises to 145 c the device will enter automatic fault recovery after the temperature falls down by 10c . automatic fault recovery the SC410A includes an automatic recovery feature (hiccup mode upon fault). if the switcher output is shut - down due to a fault condition, the device will remain of for 28 ms and there is no mosfet switching. then the normal soft-start cycle is implemented and the mosfets will start a switching cycle. switching continues until the soft-start delay time is reached. if the switcher output is still in a fault condition, the switcher will again shut down and wait another 28 ms before attempting the next soft- start. the long delay between soft-start cycles reduces average power loss in the power components. see figure 8 for an illustration of the auto recovery due to input uvlo. vin vout gate signal for the high side fet vldo vout uvp auto -

tion of the inductor and input capacitors. peak load current determines instantaneous component stresses and flter - ing requirements such as inductor saturation, output capacitors, and design of the current limit circuit. the following values are used in this design example. v in = 14v + 10% v out = 5v + 2.5% f sw = 600khz load = 1a maximum frequency selection selection of the switching frequency requires making a trade-of between the size and cost of the external flter ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? components (inductor and output capacitor) and the power conversion efciency. the desired switching frequency is 600khz which results from using components selected for optimum size and cost. a resistor (r ton ) is used to program the on-time (indirectly setting the frequency) using the following equation. 2 . 1 v v 400 f 25pf 1 r out in sw ton u ? ? 1 ? u : u to select r ton , use the maximum value for v in , and for t on use the value associated with maximum v in . sw inmax out on f v v t u t on = 541 ns at 15.4v in , 5v out , 600khz substituting for r ton results in the following solution. r ton = 78.7k?, use r ton = 78.7k? inductor selection in order to determine the inductance, the ripple current must frst be defned. low inductor values result in smaller size but create higher ripple current which can reduce efciency. higher inductor values will reduce the ripple current/voltage and for a given dc resistance are more efcient. however, larger inductance translates directly into larger packages and higher cost. cost, size, output ripple, and efciency are all used in the selection process. the ripple current will also set the boundary for power- save operation. the switching will typically enter power- save mode when the load current decreases to 1/2 of the ripple current. for example, if ripple current is 2a then power-save operation will typically start for loads less than 1a. if ripple current is set at 40% of maximum load current, then power-save will start for loads less than 20% of maximum current. during the dh on-time, voltage across the inductor is (v in - v out ). the equation for determining inductance is shown next. ripple on out in i t ) v v ( l u www.datasheet.co.kr datasheet pdf - http://www..net/ SC410A 18 applications information (continued) example in this example, the inductor ripple current is set equal to 100% of the maximum load current. therefore ripple current will be 1a. to find the minimum inductance needed, use the v in and t on values that correspond to v in . + $ q v 9 9 / p u a standard value of 4.7h is selected. this gives a maximum i ripple of 1.197a. the peak ripple can be calcu - lated by the equation, below where l tol is assumed to be an inductor tolerance of 20%. i ripple_peak = i ripple_max x (1 + l tol ) = 1.497a note that the inductor must be rated for the maximum dc load current plus 1/2 of the ripple current. i lsat_min = i ripple_peak x 0.5 + i out = 1.748a the ripple current under minimum v in conditions is also checked using the following equations. q v q v 9 9 5 s ) w , 1 0 , 1 2 8 7 7 2 1 9 , 1 0 , 1 b 2 1 u u l t ) v v ( i on out in ripple u $ + q v 9 9 , 9 , 1 0 , 1 b 5 , 3 3 / ( p u capacitor selection the output capacitors are chosen based on required esr and capacitance. the maximum esr requirement is con - trolled by the output ripple requirement and the dc toler - ance. the output voltage has a dc value that is equal to the valley of the output ripple plus 1/2 of the peak-to-peak ripple. change in the output ripple voltage will lead to a change in dc voltage at the output. the design goal is for the output voltage regulation to be 2.5% under static conditions. the internal 750mv refer - ence tolerance is 1%. assuming a 1% tolerance from the fb resistor divider, this allows 0.5% tolerance due to v out ripple. since this 0.5% error comes from 1/2 of the ripple voltage, the allowable ripple is 1%, or 50mv for a 5v output. the maximum ripple current of 1.497a creates a ripple voltage across the esr. the maximum esr value allowed is shown by the following equations. $ p 9 , 9 ( 6 5 5 , 3 3 / ( 0 $ ; 5 , 3 3 / ( 0 $ ; u esr max = 67 m ? the output capacitance is chosen to meet transient requirements. a worst-case load release, from maximum load to no load at the exact moment when inductor current is at the peak, determines the required capaci - tance. if the load release is instantaneous (load changes from maximum to zero in < 1s), the output capacitor must absorb all the inductors stored energy. this will cause a peak voltage on the capacitor according to the following equation. 2 out 2 peak 2 peak _ ripple out tol min v v i 2 1 i l 1 l cout ? 1 ? u u assuming a peak voltage v peak of 5.05 (50mv rise upon load release), and a 1a load release, the required capaci -
