DS20005520B-page 17 MIC28511 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The MIC28511 is an adaptive on-time synchronous buck regulator with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs suitable for high-input voltage to low-output voltage conversion applications. It is designed to operate over a wide input voltage range (4.6V to 60V), which is suitable for automotive and industrial applications. The output is adjustable with an external resistive divider. An adaptive on-time control scheme is employed to produce a constant switching frequency in continuous-conduction mode and reduced switching frequency in discontinuous-operation mode, improving light-load efficiency. Overcurrent protection is implemented by sensing low-side MOSFET's RDS(ON). The device features internal soft-start, enable, UVLO, and thermal shutdown. 4.1 Theory of Operation As illustrated in the Functional Block Diagram, the output voltage of the MIC28511 is sensed by the feedback (FB) pin via voltage dividers R1 and R2, and compared to a 0.8V reference voltage VREF at the error comparator through a low-gain transconductance (gM) amplifier. If the feedback voltage decreases and the amplifier output is below 0.8V, then the error comparator will trigger the control logic and generate an ON-time period. The ON-time period length is predetermined by the fixed tON estimator circuitry: EQUATION 4-1: t ON ESTIMATED V OUT = ---------------------V IN f SW D MAX = 1 - t OFF MIN f SW It is not recommended to use MIC28511 with an OFF-time close to tOFF(MIN) during steady-state operation. The adaptive ON-time control scheme results in a constant switching frequency in the MIC28511. The actual ON-time and resulting switching frequency will vary with the different rising and falling times of the external MOSFETs. Also, the minimum tON results in a lower switching frequency in high VIN to VOUT applications. During load transients, the switching frequency is changed due to the varying OFF-time. Figure 4-1 shows the allowable range of the output voltage versus the input voltage. The minimum output voltage is 0.8V, which is limited by the reference voltage. The maximum output voltage is 24V, which is limited by the internal circuitry. p g 30 25 20 fSW = 600kHz 15 fSW = 400kHz fSW = 200kHz 10 ALLOWABLE RANGE 0.8V (MINIMUM) 5 0 5 15 25 35 45 55 INPUT VOLTAGE (V) Where: VOUT Output Voltage VIN Power Stage Input Voltage fSW Switching Frequency FIGURE 4-1: Allowable Output Voltage Range vs. Input Voltage. At the end of the ON-time period, the internal high-side driver turns off the high-side MOSFET and the low-side driver turns on the low-side MOSFET. The OFF-time period length depends upon the feedback voltage in most cases. When the feedback voltage decreases and the output of the gM amplifier is below 0.8V, then the ON-time period is triggered and the OFF-time period ends. If the OFF-time period determined by the feedback voltage is less than the minimum OFF-time tOFF(MIN), which is about 200 ns (typical), the MIC28511 control logic will apply the tOFF(MIN) instead. The tOFF(MIN) is required to maintain enough energy in the boost capacitor (CBST) to drive the high-side MOSFET. The maximum Equation 4-2. EQUATION 4-2: OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V) 4.0 duty DS20005520B-page 18 cycle is obtained To illustrate the control loop operation, both the steady-state and load transient scenarios will be analyzed. Figure 4-2 shows the MIC28511 control loop timing during steady-state operation. During steady-state, the gM amplifier senses the feedback voltage ripple, which is proportional to the output voltage ripple and the inductor current ripple, to trigger the ON-time period. The ON-time is predetermined by the tON estimator. The termination of the OFF-time is controlled by the feedback voltage. At the valley of the feedback voltage ripple, which occurs when VFB falls below VREF, the OFF period ends and the next ON-time period is triggered through the control logic circuitry. from 2016-2017 Microchip Technology Inc.

IL IOUT IL(PP) VOUT VOUT(PP) = ESRC x IL(PP) OUT VFB VFB(PP) = VOUT(PP) x VREF 9'+ R2 R1 + R2 TRIGGER ON-TIME IF VFB IS BELOW VREF ESTIMATED ON-TIME FIGURE 4-2: Timing. MIC28511 Control Loop Figure 4-3 shows the operation of the MIC28511 during a load transient. The output voltage drops due to the sudden load increase, which causes the VFB to be less than VREF. This will cause the error comparator to trigger an ON-time period. At the end of the ON-time period, a minimum OFF-time tOFF(MIN) is generated to charge CBST because the feedback voltage is still below VREF. Then, the next ON-time period is triggered due to the low feedback voltage. Therefore, the switching frequency changes during the load transient, but returns to the nominal fixed frequency once the output has stabilized at the new load current level. With the varying duty cycle and switching frequency, the output recovery time is fast and the output voltage deviation is small in MIC28511 converter. FULL LOAD IOUT If a low-ESR output capacitor is selected, then the feedback voltage ripple may be too small to be sensed by the gM amplifier and the error comparator. Also, if the ESR of the output capacitor is very low, the output voltage ripple and the feedback voltage ripple are not necessarily in phase with the inductor current ripple. In these cases, ripple injection is required to ensure proper operation. Please refer to the Ripple Injection subsection for more details about the ripple injection technique. 4.2 Discontinuous Mode (MIC28511-1 Only) In continuous mode, the inductor current is always greater than zero; however, at light loads the MIC28511-1 is able to force the inductor current to operate in discontinuous mode. Discontinuous mode occurs when the inductor current falls to zero, as indicated by trace (IL) shown in Figure 4-4. During this period, the efficiency is optimized by shutting down all the non-essential circuits and minimizing the supply current. The MIC28511-1 wakes up and turns on the high-side MOSFET when the feedback voltage VFB drops below 0.8V. The MIC28511-1 has a zero crossing comparator that monitors the inductor current by sensing the voltage drop across the low-side MOSFET during its ON-time. If the VFB > 0.8V and the inductor current goes slightly negative, then the MIC28511-1 automatically powers down most of the IC circuitry and goes into a low-power mode. NO LOAD VOUT VFB VREF 9'+ TOFF(MIN) FIGURE 4-3: Response. In order to meet the stability requirements, the MIC28511 feedback voltage ripple should be in phase with the inductor current ripple and large enough to be sensed by the gM amplifier and the error comparator. The recommended feedback voltage ripple is 20 mV ~ 100 mV. MIC28511 Load Transient Once the MIC28511-1 goes into discontinuous mode, both DH and DL are low, which turns off the high-side and low-side MOSFETs. The load current is supplied by the output capacitors and VOUT drops. If the drop of VOUT causes VFB to go below VREF, then all the circuits will wake up into normal continuous mode. First, the bias currents of most circuits reduced during the discontinuous mode are restored, and then a tON pulse is triggered before the drivers are turned on to avoid any possible glitches. Finally, the high-side driver is turned on. Figure 4-4 shows the control loop timing in discontinuous mode. Unlike true current-mode control, the MIC28511 uses the output voltage ripple to trigger an ON-time period. The output voltage ripple is proportional to the inductor 2016-2017 Microchip Technology Inc. DS20005520B-page 19 MIC28511 4.5 IL IL CROSSES 0 AND VFB > 0.8. DISCONTINUOUS MODE STARTS VFB < 0.8. WAKEUP FROM DISCONTINUOUS MODE. 0 VFB The MIC28511 uses the RDS(ON) of the internal low-side power MOSFET to sense overcurrent conditions. In each switching cycle, the inductor current is sensed by monitoring the low-side MOSFET during its ON period. The sensed voltage, V(ILIM), is compared with the power ground (PGND) after a blanking time of 150 ns. The voltage drop of the resistor RILIM is compared with the low-side MOSFET voltage drop to set the overcurrent trip level. The small capacitor connected from the ILIM pin to PGND can be added to filter the switching node ringing, allowing a better short limit measurement. The time constant created by RILIM and the filter capacitor should be much less than the minimum off time. VREF ZC VD+ VD/ Current Limit The overcurrent limit can be programmed by using Equation 4-3: ESTIMATED ON-TIME EQUATION 4-3: I CLIM + 0.5 I L PP R DS ON + V CL R ILIM = ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I CL Where: FIGURE 4-4: MIC28511-1 Control Loop Timing (Discontinuous Mode). During discontinuous mode, the bias current of most circuits are reduced. As a result, the total power supply current during discontinuous mode is only about 450 A, allowing the MIC28511-1 to achieve high efficiency in light load applications. 4.3 Desired Output Current Limit IL(PP) Inductor Current Peak-to-Peak Use Equation 4-4 to calculate the inductor ripple current RDS(ON) On-Resistance of Low-Side Power MOSFET VCL Current-limit threshold. 14 mV (typical). See the Electrical Characteristics table. ICL Current-limit source current. 70 A (typical). See the Electrical Characteristics table. VDD Regulator The MIC28511 provides a 5V regulated VDD to bias internal circuitry for VIN ranging from 5.5V to 60V. When VIN is less than 5.5V, VDD should be tied to VIN pins to bypass the internal linear regulator. 4.4 ICLIM Soft-Start Soft-start reduces the power supply inrush current at startup by controlling the output voltage rise time while the output capacitor charges. The MIC28511 implements an internal digital soft-start by ramping up the 0.8V reference voltage (VREF) from 0 to 100% in about 5 ms with 9.7 mV steps. This controls the output voltage rate of rise at turn on, minimizing inrush current and eliminating output voltage overshoot. Once the soft-start cycle ends, the related circuitry is disabled to reduce current consumption. DS20005520B-page 20 The peak-to-peak inductor current ripple is calculated with Equation 4-4. EQUATION 4-4: V OUT V IN MAX - V OUT I L PP = ------------------------------------------------------------------V IN MAX f SW L The MOSFET RDS(ON) varies 30% to 40% with temperature; therefore, it is recommended to use the RDS(ON) at maximum junction temperature with a 20% margin to calculate RILIM in Equation 4-3. In case of hard short, the current-limit threshold is folded down to allow an indefinite hard short on the output without any destructive effect. It is mandatory to make sure that the inductor current used to charge the output capacitor during soft-start is under the folded 2016-2017 Microchip Technology Inc. MIC28511 short limit; otherwise the supply will go into hiccup mode and may not be finishing the soft-start successfully. When operating at higher input voltages, it is recommended to look at the safe operating area (SOA) curves while selecting the output current limit threshold. SOA curves for MIC28511 are given through Figure 2-19 and Figure 2-20 in Section 2.0, Typical Performance Curves. 4.6 Output Current Thermal Derating MIC28511 is packaged in 3 mm x 4 mm FQFN package. The output current derates with temperature when operated with higher input voltage at higher temperature as shown in typical operating curves in Figure 2-19 and Figure 2-20 for MIC28511-1, and Figure 2-34 and Figure 2-35 for MIC28511-2. 4.7 Power Good (PGOOD) The power good (PGOOD) pin is an open-drain output that indicates logic-high when the output is nominally 90% of its steady state voltage. 4.8 MOSFET Gate Drive The Functional Block Diagram shows a bootstrap circuit, consisting of DBST, CBST, and RBST. This circuit supplies energy to the high-side drive circuit. Capacitor CBST is charged, while the low-side MOSFET is on, and the voltage on the SW pin is approximately 0V. When the high-side MOSFET driver is turned on, energy from CBST is used to turn the MOSFET on. As the high-side MOSFET turns on, the voltage on the SW pin increases to approximately VIN. Diode DBST is reverse-biased and CBST floats high while continuing to bias the high-side gate driver. The bias current of the high-side driver is less than 10 mA, so a 0.1 F to 1 F capacitor is sufficient to hold the gate voltage with minimal droop for the power stroke (high-side switching) cycle, i.e. BST = 10 mA x 1.25 s/0.1 F = 125 mV. When the low-side MOSFET is turned back on, CBST is then recharged through the boost diode. A 30 resistor RBST, which is in series with the BST pin, is required to slow down the turn-on time of the high-side N-channel MOSFET. 2016-2017 Microchip Technology Inc.

The MIC28511 requires two resistors to set the output voltage as shown in Figure 5-1. R1 FB gM AMP R2 VREF FIGURE 5-1: Configuration. Voltage Divider FIGURE 5-2: Adjustment. Switching Frequency Equation 5-3 gives the estimated switching frequency. The output voltage is determined by Equation 5-1. EQUATION 5-3: EQUATION 5-1: V OUT = V FB 1 + R1 ------- R2 R17 f SW = f 0 -------------------------- R17 + R19 Where: Where: VFB f0 0.8V Figure 5-3 shows the switching frequency versus the resistor R17 when R19 = 100 k. 700 R19 = 100k, IOUT = 1A 600 SW FREQ (kHz) A typical value of R1 used on the standard evaluation board is 10 k. If R1 is too large, it may allow noise to be introduced into the voltage feedback loop. If R1 is too small in value, it will decrease the efficiency of the buck converter, especially at light loads. Once R1 is selected, R2 can be calculated using Equation 5-2: Switching frequency when R17 is open; typically 680 kHz.

The input and output voltages and the inductance value determine the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current. Generally, higher inductance values are used with higher input voltages. Larger peak-to-peak ripple currents will increase the power dissipation in the inductor and DS20005520B-page 22 2016-2017 Microchip Technology Inc. MIC28511 MOSFETs. Larger output ripple currents will also require more output capacitance to smooth out the larger ripple current. Smaller peak-to-peak ripple currents require a larger inductance value and therefore a larger and more expensive inductor. A good compromise between size, loss and cost is to set the inductor ripple current to be equal to 20% of the maximum output current. The inductance value is calculated by: EQUATION 5-4: EQUATION 5-7: 2 P L CU = I L RMS DCR The resistance of the copper wire, DCR, increases with the temperature. The value of the winding resistance used should be at the operating temperature. EQUATION 5-8: DCR HT = DCR 20C 1 + 0.0042 T H - T 20C V OUT V IN MAX - V OUT L = ------------------------------------------------------------------V IN MAX I L PP f SW Where: Where: TH Temperature of wire under full load Ambient temperature Room temperature winding resistance (usually specified by the manufacturer) fSW Switching Frequency T20C IL(PP) The peak-to-peak inductor current ripple; typically 20% of the maximum output current DCR(20C) In continuous conduction mode, the peak inductor current is equal to the average output current plus one half of the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple. EQUATION 5-5: I L PK = I OUT + 0.5 I L PP The RMS inductor current is used to calculate the I2R losses in the inductor. EQUATION 5-6: 2 I L RMS = 2 I L PP I OUT MAX + -------------------12 Maximizing efficiency requires the proper selection of core material and minimizing the winding resistance. The high-frequency operation of the MIC28511 requires the use of ferrite materials for all but the most cost-sensitive applications. Lower-cost iron powder cores may be used but the increase in core loss will reduce the efficiency of the buck converter. This is especially noticeable at low output power. The winding resistance decreases efficiency at the higher output current levels. The winding resistance must be minimized although this usually comes at the expense of a larger inductor. The power dissipated in the inductor is equal to the sum of the core and copper losses. At higher output loads, the core losses are usually insignificant and can be ignored. At lower output currents, the core losses can be a significant contributor. Core loss information is usually available from the magnetics vendor. Copper loss in the inductor is calculated by Equation 5-7: 2016-2017 Microchip Technology Inc. 5.4 Output Capacitor Selection The type of the output capacitor is usually determined by its equivalent series resistance (ESR). Voltage and RMS current capability are also important factors in selecting an output capacitor. Recommended capacitor types are ceramic, tantalum, low-ESR aluminum electrolytic, OS-CON and POSCAP. For high ESR electrolytic capacitors, ESR is the main cause of the output ripple. The output capacitor ESR also affects the control loop from a stability point of view. For a low ESR ceramic output capacitor, ripple is dominated by the reactive impedance. The maximum value of ESR is calculated by Equation 5-9. EQUATION 5-9: ESR C OUT V OUT PP --------------------------I L PP Where: VOUT(PP) Peak-to-Peak Output Voltage Ripple IL(PP) Peak-to-Peak Inductor Current Ripple The total output ripple is a combination of voltage ripples caused by the ESR and output capacitance. The total ripple is calculated by Equation 5-10. EQUATION 5-10: V OUT PP = 2 I L PP 2 ------------------------------------- C OUT f SW 8 + I L PP ESR COUT Where: COUT Output Capacitance Value fSW Switching Frequency DS20005520B-page 23 MIC28511 As described in the Theory of Operation subsection of the Functional Description, the MIC28511 requires at least 20 mV peak-to-peak ripple at the FB pin for the gM amplifier and the error comparator to operate properly. Also, the ripple on FB pin should be in phase with the inductor current. Therefore, the output voltage ripple caused by the output capacitors value should be much smaller than the ripple caused by the output capacitor ESR. If low-ESR capacitors, such as ceramic capacitors, are selected as the output capacitors, a ripple injection method should be applied to provide the enough feedback voltage ripple. Refer to the Ripple Injection subsection for details. EQUATION 5-14: The voltage rating of the capacitor should be twice the output voltage for a tantalum and 20% greater for aluminum electrolytic or OS-CON. The output capacitor RMS current is calculated in Equation 5-11. 5.6 I CIN RMS I OUT MAX D 1 - D The power dissipated in the input capacitor is: EQUATION 5-15: 2 P DISS CIN = I CIN RMS ESR CIN Ripple Injection The power dissipated in the output capacitor is: The VFB ripple required for proper operation of the MIC28511's gM amplifier and error comparator is 20 mV to 100 mV. However, the output voltage ripple is generally designed as 1% to 2% of the output voltage. If the feedback voltage ripple is so small that the gM amplifier and error comparator can't sense it, then the MIC28511 will lose control and the output voltage is not regulated. In order to have some amount of VFB ripple, a ripple injection method is applied for low output voltage ripple applications. EQUATION 5-12: The applications are divided into three situations according to the amount of the feedback voltage ripple: EQUATION 5-11: IC OUT RMS I L PP = ----------------12 2 P DISS COUT = I COUT RMS ESR COUT 5.5 * Enough ripple at the feedback voltage due to the large ESR of the output capacitors (Figure 5-4). The converter is stable without any ripple injection. Input Capacitor Selection The input capacitor for the power stage input VIN should be selected for ripple current rating and voltage rating. Tantalum input capacitors may fail when subjected to high inrush currents, caused by turning the input supply on. A tantalum input capacitor's voltage rating should be at least two times the maximum input voltage to maximize reliability. Aluminum electrolytic, OS-CON, and multilayer polymer film capacitors can handle the higher inrush currents without voltage de-rating. The input voltage ripple will primarily depend on the input capacitor's ESR. The peak input current is equal to the peak inductor current, so: EQUATION 5-13: V IN = I L PK ESR CIN The input capacitor must be rated for the input current ripple. The RMS value of input capacitor current is determined at the maximum output current. Assuming the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple is low: DS20005520B-page 24 L SW MIC28511 R1 COUT FB R2 FIGURE 5-4: ESR Enough Ripple at FB. The feedback voltage ripple is: EQUATION 5-16: R2 V FB PP = -------------------- ESR C I L PP OUT R1 + R2 Where: IL(PP) Peak-to-Peak Value of the Inductor Current Ripple * Inadequate ripple at the feedback voltage due to the small ESR of the output capacitors. The output voltage ripple is fed into the FB pin through a feed-forward capacitor, CFF in this situation, as shown in Figure 5-5. The typical CFF value is selected by using Equation 5-17. 2016-2017 Microchip Technology Inc. MIC28511 In Equation 5-19 and Equation 5-20, it is assumed that the time constant associated with CFF must be much greater than the switching period: EQUATION 5-17: 10 R1 C FF -------f SW With the feed-forward capacitor, the feedback voltage ripple is very close to the output voltage ripple. V FB PP ESR I L PP L MIC28511 COUT R1 FB CFF R2 FIGURE 5-5: ESR Inadequate Ripple at FB. * Virtually no ripple at the FB pin voltage due to the very low ESR of the output capacitors. In this situation, the output voltage ripple is less than 20 mV. Therefore, additional ripple is injected into the FB pin from the switching node SW via a resistor RINJ and a capacitor CINJ, as shown in Figure 5-6. L SW FB The process of sizing the ripple injection resistor and capacitors is as follows. * Select CFF to feed all output ripples into the feedback pin and make sure the large time constant assumption is satisfied. Typical choice of CFF is 1 nF to 100 nF if R1 and R2 are in the k range. * Select RINJ according to the expected feedback voltage ripple using Equation 5-22: EQUATION 5-22: f SW V FB PP K div = ----------------------- ---------------------------V IN D 1 - D The value of RINJ is calculated using Equation 5-23.

DS20005520B-page 25 MIC28511 6.0 PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES PCB Layout is critical to achieve reliable, stable and efficient performance. A ground plane is required to control EMI and minimize the inductance in power, signal and return paths. Figure 6-1 is optimized from a small form-factor point of view and shows the top and bottom layers of a four-layer PCB. It is recommended to use Mid-Layer 1 as a continuous ground plane. operating voltage must be derated by 50%. * In "Hot-Plug" applications, a Tantalum or Electrolytic bypass capacitor must be used to limit the overvoltage spike seen on the input supply with power is suddenly applied. 6.3 * Do not route any digital lines underneath or close to the SW node. * Keep the switch node (SW) away from the feedback (FB) pin. 6.4 FIGURE 6-1: Top and Bottom Layers of a Four-Layer Board. The following guidelines should be followed to ensure proper operation of the MIC28511 converter. 6.1 IC * The analog ground pin (AGND) must be connected directly to the ground planes. Do not route the AGND pin to the PGND pin on the top layer. * Place the IC close to the point-of-load (POL). * Use copper planes to route the input and output power lines. * Analog and power grounds should be kept separate and connected at only one location. 6.2 Input Capacitor * Place the input capacitors on the same side of the board and as close to the PVIN and PGND pins as possible. * Place several vias to the ground plane close to the input capacitor ground terminal. * Use either X7R or X5R dielectric input capacitors. Do not use Y5V or Z5U type capacitors. * Do not replace the ceramic input capacitor with any other type of capacitor. Any type of capacitor can be placed in parallel with the input capacitor. * If a Tantalum input capacitor is placed in parallel with the input capacitor, it must be recommended for switching regulator applications and the SW Node Output Capacitor * Use a copper island to connect the output capacitor ground terminal to the input capacitor ground terminal. * Phase margin will change as the output capacitor value and ESR changes. Contact the factory if the output capacitor is different from what is shown in the BOM. * The feedback trace should be separate from the power trace and connected as close as possible to the output capacitor. Sensing a long high-current load trace can degrade the DC load regulation. 6.5 Thermal Measurements Measuring the IC's case temperature is recommended to ensure it is within its operating limits. Although this might seem like a very elementary task, it is easy to get erroneous results. The most common mistake is to use the standard thermal couple that comes with a thermal meter. This thermal couple wire gauge is large, typically 22 gauge, and behaves like a heat sink, resulting in a lower case measurement. Two methods of temperature measurement are using a smaller thermal couple wire or an infrared thermometer. If a thermal couple wire is used, it must be constructed of 36 gauge wire or higher then (smaller wire size) to minimize the wire heat-sinking effect. In addition, the thermal couple tip must be covered in either thermal grease or thermal glue to make sure that the thermal couple junction is making good contact with the case of the IC. Omega brand thermal couple (5SC-TT-K-36-36) is adequate for most applications. Wherever possible, an infrared thermometer is recommended. The measurement spot size of most infrared thermometers is too large for an accurate reading on a small form factor ICs. However, an IR thermometer from Optris has a 1 mm spot size, which makes it a good choice for measuring the hottest point on the case. An optional stand makes it easy to hold the beam on the IC for long periods of time. For more information about the Evaluation board layout, please contact Microchip sales.
