application information LED2000 26/40 docid023432 rev 4 7.2 layout considerations the layout of switching dc-dc converters is very important to minimize noise and interference. power-generating portions of the layout are the main cause of noise and so high switching current loop areas should be kept as small as possible and lead lengths as short as possible. high impedance paths (in particular the feedback connections) are susceptible to interference, so they should be as far as po ssible from the high current paths. a layout example is provided in figure 16 . the input and output loops are minimized to avoid radiation and high frequency resonance problems. the feedback pin to the sensing resistor path must be designed as short as possible to avoid pick-up noise. another impo rtant issue is the groun d plane of the board. as the package has an exposed pad, it is very important to connect it to an extended ground plane in order to reduce the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient. to increase the design noise immunity, different signal and power ground should be implemented in the layout (see section 7.5: application circuit ). the signal ground serves the small signal components, the device analog ground pin, the exposed pad and a small filtering capacitor connected to the v ina pin. the power ground serves the device ground pin and the input filter. the different grounds are connected underneath t he output capacitor. neglecting the current ripple contribution, th e current flowing through this component is constant during the switching activity and so this is the cleanest ground point of the buck application circuit. figure 16. layout example free datasheet http:///

docid023432 rev 4 29/40 LED2000 application information 40 in overcurrent condition, the duty cycle is stro ngly reduced and, in most applications, this is enough to limit the switch current to the current threshold. the inductor current ripple during on and off phases can be written as: ? on phase equation 40 ? off phase equation 41 where dcr l is the series resistance of the inductor. the pulse-by-pulse current limitation is effective to implement constant current protection when: equation 42 from equation 40 and equation 41 it can be seen that the impl ementation of the constant current protection becomes more critical the lower the v out and the higher the v in . in fact, in short-circuit condition the volta ge applied to the inductor during the off-time becomes equal to the voltage drop across parasitic components (typically the dcr of the inductor and the r dson of the low-side switch) since vo ut is negligible, while during t on the voltage applied at the inductor is maximized and is approximately equal to v in . in general, the worst case scenario is heavy short-circuit at the output with maximum input voltage. equation 40 and equation 41 in overcurrent conditions can be simplified to: equation 43 considering t on which has already been reduced to its minimum. equation 44 where t sw = 1/f sw and considering the nominal f sw . at higher input voltage ? i l ton may be higher than ? i l toff and so the indu ctor current can escalate. as a consequence, the system typically meets equation 42 at a current level i l ton ? v in v out ? dcr l r dson hs + ?? i ? ? l ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- t on ?? = i l ton ? v out dcr l r dson ls + ?? i ? + ?? ? l --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - t off ?? = i l ton ? i l toff ? = i l ton ? v in dcr l r dson hs + ?? i ? ? l ------------------------------------------------------------------------ t on min ?? v in l -------- - 90ns ?? ? = i l toff ? dcr l r dson ls + ?? ? i ? l ------------------------------------------------------------- - t sw 90ns ? ?? dcr l r dson ls + ?? ? i ? l ------------------------------------------------------------- - 1,18 ? s ?? ? = free datasheet http:///
