Applications Information Grounding Supply Bypassing The high current capability of the MIC4420/4429 demands careful PC board layout for best performance Since the MIC4429 is an inverting driver, any ground lead impedance will appear as negative feedback which can degrade switching speed. Feedback is especially noticeable with slow-rise time inputs. The MIC4429 input structure includes 300mV of hysteresis to ensure clean transitions and freedom from oscillation, but attention to layout is still recommended. Charging and discharging large capacitive loads quickly requires large currents. For example, charging a 2500pF load to 18V in 25ns requires a 1.8 A current from the device power supply. The MIC4420/4429 has double bonding on the supply pins, the ground pins and output pins This reduces parasitic lead inductance. Low inductance enables large currents to be switched rapidly. It also reduces internal ringing that can cause voltage breakdown when the driver is operated at or near the maximum rated voltage. Internal ringing can also cause output oscillation due to feedback. This feedback is added to the input signal since it is referenced to the same ground. To guarantee low supply impedance over a wide frequency range, a parallel capacitor combination is recommended for supply bypassing. Low inductance ceramic disk capacitors with short lead lengths (< 0.5 inch) should be used. A 1F low ESR film capacitor in parallel with two 0.1 F low ESR ceramic capacitors, (such as AVX RAM GUARD(R)), provides adequate bypassing. Connect one ceramic capacitor directly between pins 1 and 4. Connect the second ceramic capacitor directly between pins 8 and 5. +15 Figure 3 shows the feedback effect in detail. As the MIC4429 input begins to go positive, the output goes negative and several amperes of current flow in the ground lead. As little as 0.05 of PC trace resistance can produce hundreds of millivolts at the MIC4429 ground pins. If the driving logic is referenced to power ground, the effective logic input level is reduced and oscillation may result. To insure optimum performance, separate ground traces should be provided for the logic and power connections. Connecting the logic ground directly to the MIC4429 GND pins will ensure full logic drive to the input and ensure fast output switching. Both of the MIC4429 GND pins should, however, still be connected to power ground.

Self-Contained Voltage Doubler July 2005 7 M9999-072205 MIC4420/4429 Micrel, Inc. Input Stage The input voltage level of the 4429 changes the quiescent supply current. The N channel MOSFET input stage transistor drives a 450A current source load. With a logic "1" input, the maximum quiescent supply current is 450A. Logic "0" input level signals reduce quiescent current to 55A maximum. The MIC4420/4429 input is designed to provide 300mV of hysteresis. This provides clean transitions, reduces noise sensitivity, and minimizes output stage current spiking when changing states. Input voltage threshold level is approximately 1.5V, making the device TTL compatible over the 4 .5V to 18V operating supply voltage range. Input current is less than 10A over this range. The MIC4429 can be directly driven by the TL494, SG1526/1527, SG1524, TSC170, MIC38HC42 and similar switch mode power supply integrated circuits. By offloading the power-driving duties to the MIC4420/4429, the power supply controller can operate at lower dissipation. This can improve performance and reliability. The input can be greater than the +VS supply, however, current will flow into the input lead. The propagation delay for TD2 will increase to as much as 400ns at room temperature. The input currents can be as high as 30mA p-p (6.4mARMS) with the input, 6 V greater than the supply voltage. No damage will occur to MIC4420/4429 however, and it will not latch. The input appears as a 7pF capacitance, and does not change even if the input is driven from an AC source. Care should be taken so that the input does not go more than 5 volts below the negative rail. Power Dissipation CMOS circuits usually permit the user to ignore power dissipation. Logic families such as 4000 and 74C have outputs which can only supply a few milliamperes of current, and even shorting outputs to ground will not force enough current to destroy the device. The MIC4420/4429 on the other hand, can source or sink several amperes and drive large capacitive loads at high frequency. The package power dissipation limit can easily be exceeded. Therefore, some 1 8 MIC4429 0.1F LOGIC GROUND 4 Given the power dissipation in the device, and the thermal resistance of the package, junction operating temperature for any ambient is easy to calculate. For example, the thermal resistance of the 8-pin MSOP package, from the data sheet, is 250C/W. In a 25C ambient, then, using a maximum junction temperature of 150C, this package will dissipate 500mW. Accurate power dissipation numbers can be obtained by summing the three sources of power dissipation in the device: * Load Power Dissipation (PL) * Quiescent power dissipation (PQ) * Transition power dissipation (PT) Calculation of load power dissipation differs depending on whether the load is capacitive, resistive or inductive. Resistive Load Power Dissipation Dissipation caused by a resistive load can be calculated as: PL = I2 RO D where: I = the current drawn by the load RO = the output resistance of the driver when the output is high, at the power supply voltage used. (See data sheet) D = fraction of time the load is conducting (duty cycle) Operating Frequency WIMA MKS-2 1 F 0V The supply current vs frequency and supply current vs capacitive load characteristic curves aid in determining power dissipation calculations. Table 1 lists the maximum safe operating frequency for several power supply voltages when driving a 2500pF load. More accurate power dissipation figures can be obtained by summing the three dissipation sources. Table 1: MIC4429 Maximum +18 V 5.0V attention should be given to power dissipation when driving low impedance loads and/or operating at high frequency. 6, 7 5 TE K C U R R E N T P ROB E 6 3 0 2 0.1F VS 18V 15V 10V 18 V 0V 2,500 pF POLYCARBONATE Conditions: 6 AMPS 300 mV Max Frequency 500kHz 700kHz 1.6MHz 1.

Switching Time Degradation Due to Negative Feedback M9999-072205 8 July 2005 MIC4420/4429 Capacitive Load Power Dissipation Micrel, Inc. where: IH = IL = D= VS = Dissipation caused by a capacitive load is simply the energy placed in, or removed from, the load capacitance by the driver. The energy stored in a capacitor is described by the equation: E = 1/2 C V2 As this energy is lost in the driver each time the load is charged or discharged, for power dissipation calculations the 1/2 is removed. This equation also shows that it is good practice not to place more voltage on the capacitor than is necessary, as dissipation increases as the square of the voltage applied to the capacitor. For a driver with a capacitive load: PL = f C (VS)2 where: f = Operating Frequency C = Load Capacitance VS =Driver Supply Voltage Inductive Load Power Dissipation quiescent current with input high quiescent current with input low fraction of time input is high (duty cycle) power supply voltage Transition Power Dissipation Transition power is dissipated in the driver each time its output changes state, because during the transition, for a very brief interval, both the N- and P-channel MOSFETs in the output totem-pole are ON simultaneously, and a current is conducted through them from V+S to ground. The transition power dissipation is approximately: PT = 2 f VS (A*s) where (A*s) is a time-current factor derived from the typical characteristic curves. Total power (PD) then, as previously described is: PD = PL + PQ +PT Definitions CL = Load Capacitance in Farads. For inductive loads the situation is more complicated. For the part of the cycle in which the driver is actively forcing current into the inductor, the situation is the same as it is in the resistive case: D = Duty Cycle expressed as the fraction of time the input to the driver is high. f = Operating Frequency of the driver in Hertz PL1 = I2 RO D IH = Power supply current drawn by a driver when both inputs are high and neither output is loaded. However, in this instance the RO required may be either the on resistance of the driver when its output is in the high state, or its on resistance when the driver is in the low state, depending on how the inductor is connected, and this is still only half the story. For the part of the cycle when the inductor is forcing current through the driver, dissipation is best described as IL = Power supply current drawn by a driver when both inputs are low and neither output is loaded. ID = Output current from a driver in Amps. PD = Total power dissipated in a driver in Watts. PL2 = I VD (1-D) PL = Power dissipated in the driver due to the driver's load in Watts. where VD is the forward drop of the clamp diode in the driver (generally around 0.7V). The two parts of the load dissipation must be summed in to produce PL PQ = Power dissipated in a quiescent driver in Watts. PL = PL1 + PL2 PT = Power dissipated in a driver when the output changes states ("shoot-through current") in Watts. NOTE: The "shoot-through" current from a dual transition (once up, once down) for both drivers is shown by the "Typical Characteristic Curve : Crossover Area vs. Supply Voltage and is in ampere-seconds. This figure must be multiplied by the number of repetitions per second (frequency) to find Watts. Quiescent Power Dissipation Quiescent power dissipation (PQ, as described in the input section) depends on whether the input is high or low. A low input will result in a maximum current drain (per driver) of 0.2mA; a logic high will result in a current drain of 2.0mA. Quiescent power can therefore be found from: PQ = VS [D IH + (1-D) IL] RO = Output resistance of a driver in Ohms. VS = Power supply voltage to the IC in Volts.
