PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION

Pin Pin Name Description

1 PGND The PGND pin is the high current ground pin for the lower MOSFET and drivers which should be soldered to alarge copper area to reduce thermal resistance.

2 VIN The VIN pin powers the internal control circuitry and is monitored by an undervoltage comparator. The VIN pinis also connected to the internal power NMOS switch. It is also used in conjunction with the VSW pin to sensecurrent in the high side MOSFET. The VIN pin has high dI/dt edges and must be decoupled to PGND pin closeto the pin of the device.

3 BST Supply rail for the floating top gate driver. Connect a capacitor (CBST) between this pin and the VSW pin. Typ-ical values for CBST range from 1 nF to 100 nF.

4 COMP Compensation pin. The comp pin is the output of the transconductance amplifier and the non−inverting input ofthe PWM comparator. The comp pin in conjunction with the FB pin are used to compensate the voltage−controlfeedback loop.

5 FB Inverting input to the Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA). The FB pin in conjunction with the extern-al compensation serves to stabilize and achieve the desired output voltage with voltage mode compensation.

6 AGND The AGND pin serves as small−signal ground. All small−signal ground paths should connect to the AGND pinat a single point to avoid any high current ground returns.

7 ISET Bottom gate MOSFET driver pin and the internal current set pin. Place a resistor to ground to set the currentlimit of the converter.

8 VSW The VSW pin is the connection of the drain and source of the internal N MOSFETS. The VSW pin swings fromVIN when the high side switch is on to small negative voltages when the low side switch is on with high dV/dttransitions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

OVERVIEWThe NCP3155A/B operates as a 500 kHz/1.0 MHz, voltage

mode, pulse width modulated, (PWM) synchronous buckconverter. It drives high−side and low−side N−channel powerMOSFETs. The NCP3155 incorporates an internal boostcircuit consisting of a boost clamp and boost diode to providesupply voltage for the high side MOSFET gate driver. TheNCP3155 also integrates several protection features includinginput undervoltage lockout (UVLO), output undervoltage(OUV), output overvoltage (OOV), adjustable high−sidecurrent limit (ISET and ILIM), and thermal shutdown (TSD).

The operational transconductance amplifier (OTA)provides a high gain error signal from Vout which iscompared to the internal 1.5 V pk-pk ramp signal to set theduty cycle converter using the PWM comparator. The highside switch is turned on by the positive edge of the clockcycle going into the PWM comparator and flip flopfollowing a non-overlap time. The high side switch is turnedoff when the PWM comparator output is tripped by themodulator ramp signal reaching a threshold levelestablished by the error amplifier. The gate driver stageincorporates fixed non− overlap time between the high−side

and low−side MOSFET gate drives to prevent crossconduction of the power MOSFET’s.

POR and UVLOThe device contains an internal Power On Reset (POR) and

input Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) that inhibits the internallogic and the output stage from operating until VCC reaches itsrespective predefined voltage levels (4.3 V typical).

Startup and ShutdownOnce VCC crosses the UVLO rising threshold the device

begins its startup process. Closed−loop soft−start beginsafter a 400 �s delay wherein the boost capacitor is charged,and the current limit threshold is set. During the 400 �s delaythe OTA output is set to just below the valley voltage of theinternal ramp. This is done to reduce delays and to ensure aconsistent pre−soft−start condition. The device increases theinternal reference from 0 V to 0.8 V in 32 discrete stepswhile maintaining closed loop regulation at each step. Eachstep contains 32 switching cycles. Some overshoot may beevident at the start of each step depending on the voltageloop phase margin and bandwidth. The total soft−start timeis 2.4 ms for the NCP3155A and 1.2 ms for the NCP3155B.

OOV and OUVThe output voltage of the buck converter is monitored at

the feedback pin of the output power stage. Twocomparators are placed on the feedback node of the OTA tomonitor the operating window of the feedback voltage asshown in Figures 31 and 32. All comparator outputs areignored during the soft−start sequence as soft−start isregulated by the OTA and false trips would be generated.After the soft−start period has ended, if the feedback isbelow the reference voltage of comparator 2 (VFB < 0.6 V),

the output is considered “undervoltage” and the device willinitiate a restart. When the feedback pin voltage risesbetween the reference voltages of comparator 1 andcomparator 2 (0.6 < VFB < 1.0), then the output voltage isconsidered “Power Good.” Finally, if the feedback voltageis greater than comparator 1 (VFB > 1.0 V), the outputvoltage is considered “overvoltage,” and the device willlatch off. To clear a latch fault, input voltage must berecycled. Graphical representation of the OOV and OUV isshown in Figures 33 and 34.

CURRENT LIMIT AND CURRENT LIMIT SET

OverviewThe NCP3155 uses the voltage drop across the High Side

MOSFET during the on time to sense inductor current. The

ILimit block consists of a voltage comparator circuit whichcompares the differential voltage across the VCC Pin and theVSW Pin with a resistor settable voltage reference. The senseportion of the circuit is only active while the HS MOSFETis turned ON.

Current Limit SetThe ILimit comparator reference is set during the startup

sequence by forcing a typically 13 �A current through thelow side gate drive resistor. The gate drive output will riseto a voltage level shown in the equation below:

Vset � Iset * Rset (eq. 1)

Where ISET is 13 �A and RSET is the gate to source resistoron the low side MOSFET.

This resistor is normally installed to prevent MOSFETleakage from causing unwanted turn on of the low sideMOSFET. In this case, the resistor is also used to set theILimit trip level reference through the ILimit DAC. The Isetprocess takes approximately 350 �s to complete prior toSoft−Start stepping. The scaled voltage level across the ISETresistor is converted to a 6 bit digital value and stored as thetrip value. The binary ILimit value is scaled and converted tothe analog ILimit reference voltage through a DAC counter.The DAC has 63 steps in 6.51 mV increments equating to amaximum sense voltage of 403 mV. During the Iset period

prior to Soft−Start, the DAC counter increments thereference on the ISET comparator until it crosses the VSETvoltage and holds the DAC reference output to that countvalue. This voltage is translated to the ILimit comparatorduring the ISense portion of the switching cycle through theswitch cap circuit. See Figure 35. Exceeding the maximumsense voltage results in no current limit. Steps 0 to 10 resultin an effective current limit of 0 mV.

Current Sense CycleFigure 36 shows how the current is sampled as it relates

to the switching cycle. Current level 1 in Figure 36represents a condition that will not cause a fault. Currentlevel 2 represents a condition that will cause a fault. Thesense circuit is allowed to operate below the 3/4 point of agiven switching cycle. A given switching cycle’s 3/4 Tontime is defined by the prior cycle’s Ton and is quantized in10 ns steps. A fault occurs if the sensed MOSFET voltageexceeds the DAC reference within the 3/4 time window ofthe switching cycle.

Soft−Start Current limitDuring soft−start the ISET value is doubled to allow for

inrush current to charge the output capacitance. The DACreference is set back to its normal value after soft−start hascompleted.

VSW RingingThe ILimit block can lose accuracy if there is excessive

VSW voltage ringing that extends beyond the 1/2 point of thehigh−side transistor on−time. Proper snubber design andkeeping the ratio of ripple current and load current in the10−30% range can help alleviate this as well.

Current LimitA current limit trip results in completion of one switching

cycle and subsequently half of another cycle Ton to accountfor negative inductor current that might have causednegative potentials on the output. Subsequently the powerMOSFETs are both turned off and a 4 soft−start time periodwait passes before another soft−start cycle is attempted.

Boost Clamp FunctionalityThe boost circuit requires an external capacitor connected

between the BST and VSW pins to store charge for supplyingthe high and low−side gate driver voltage. This clamp circuitlimits the driver voltage to typically 7.5 V when VIN > 9 V,otherwise this internal regulator is in dropout and typicallyVIN − 1.25 V.

The boost circuit regulates the gate driver output voltageand acts as a switching diode. A simplified diagram of theboost circuit is shown in Figure 37. While the switch nodeis grounded, the sampling circuit samples the voltage at theboost pin, and regulates the boost capacitor voltage. Thesampling circuit stores the boost voltage while the VSW ishigh and the linear regulator output transistor is reversedbiased.

Reduced sampling time occurs at high duty cycles wherethe low side MOSFET is off for the majority of the switchingperiod. Reduced sampling time causes errors in theregulated voltage on the boost pin. High duty cycle / inputvoltage induced sampling errors can result in increasedboost ripple voltage or higher than desired DC boost voltage.Figure 38 outlines all operating regions.

The recommended operating conditions are shown inRegion 1 (Green) where a 0.1 �F, 25 V ceramic capacitorcan be placed on the boost pin without causing damage to thedevice or MOSFETS. Larger boost ripple voltage occurring

over several switching cycles is shown in Region 2 (Yellow).The boost ripple frequency is dependent on the outputcapacitance selected. The ripple voltage will not damage thedevice or �12 V gate rated MOSFETs.

Conditions where maximum boost ripple voltage coulddamage the device or �12 V gate rated MOSFETs can beseen in Region 3 (Orange). Placing a boost capacitor that isno greater than 3.3 nF on the boost pin limits the maximumboost voltage < 12 V. The typical drive waveforms forRegions 1, 2 and 3 (green, yellow, and orange) regions ofFigure 38 are shown in Figure 39.

The ratio of ripple current to maximum output currentsimplifies the equations used for inductor selection. Theformula for this is given in Equation 6.

The designer should employ a rule of thumb where thepercentage of ripple current in the inductor lies between10% and 40%. When using ceramic output capacitors theripple current can be greater thus a user might select a higherripple current, but when using electrolytic capacitors a lowerripple current will result in lower output ripple. Now,acceptable values of inductance for a design can becalculated using Equation 7.

An inductor for this example would be around 8.2 �H andshould support an rms current of 3.01 A and a peak currentof 3.3 A.

The final selection of an output inductor has bothmechanical and electrical considerations. From amechanical perspective, smaller inductor values generallycorrespond to smaller physical size. Since the inductor isoften one of the largest components in the regulation system,a minimum inductor value is particularly important inspace−constrained applications. From an electricalperspective, the maximum current slew rate through theoutput inductor for a buck regulator is given by Equation 10.

SlewRateLOUT �VIN � VOUT

LOUT

� 1.1A�s

(eq. 10)

�12 V � 3.3 V

8.2 �H

This equation implies that larger inductor values limit theregulator’s ability to slew current through the outputinductor in response to output load transients. Consequently,output capacitors must supply the load current until theinductor current reaches the output load current level. Thisresults in larger values of output capacitance to maintaintight output voltage regulation. In contrast, smaller values ofinductance increase the regulator’s maximum achievableslew rate and decrease the necessary capacitance, at theexpense of higher ripple current. The peak−to−peak ripplecurrent for the NCP3155A is given by the followingequation:

IPP �VOUT(1 � D)

LOUT FSW

(eq. 11)

Ipp is the peak to peak current of the inductor. From thisequation it is clear that the ripple current increases as LOUTdecreases, emphasizing the trade−off between dynamicresponse and ripple current.

The power dissipation of an inductor consists of bothcopper and core losses. The copper losses can be furthercategorized into dc losses and ac losses. A good first orderapproximation of the inductor losses can be made using theDC resistance as they usually contribute to 90% of the lossesof the inductor shown below:

LPCU � IRMS2 DCR (eq. 12)

The core losses and ac copper losses will depend on thegeometry of the selected core, core material, and wire used.Most vendors will provide the appropriate information tomake accurate calculations of the power dissipation then thetotal inductor losses can be capture buy the equation below:

LPtot � LPCU_DC LPCU_AC LPCore (eq. 13)

Input Capacitor SelectionThe input capacitor has to sustain the ripple current

produced during the on time of the upper MOSFET, so itmust have a low ESR to minimize the losses. The RMS valueof this ripple is:

IinRMS � IOUT D (1 � D)� (eq. 14)

D is the duty cycle, IinRMS is the input RMS current, andIOUT is the load current.

The equation reaches its maximum value with D = 0.5.Loss in the input capacitors can be calculated with thefollowing equation:

PCIN � ESRCIN �IIN�RMS2 (eq. 15)

PCIN is the power loss in the input capacitors and ESRCINis the effective series resistance of the input capacitance.Due to large dI/dt through the input capacitors, electrolyticor ceramics should be used. If a tantalum must be used, itmust by surge protected. Otherwise, capacitor failure couldoccur.

Input Start−up CurrentTo calculate the input startup current, the following

equation can be used.

IINRUSH �COUT VOUT

tSS

(eq. 16)

Iinrush is the input current during startup, COUT is the totaloutput capacitance, VOUT is the desired output voltage, andtSS is the soft start interval. If the inrush current is higher thanthe steady state input current during max load, then the inputfuse should be rated accordingly, if one is used.

Output Capacitor SelectionThe important factors to consider when selecting an

output capacitor is dc voltage rating, ripple current rating,output ripple voltage requirements, and transient responserequirements.

The output capacitor must be rated to handle the ripplecurrent at full load with proper derating. The RMS ratingsgiven in datasheets are generally for lower switchingfrequency than used in switch mode power supplies but amultiplier is usually given for higher frequency operation.The RMS current for the output capacitor can be calculatedbelow:

CoRMS � IO ra

12�(eq. 17)

The maximum allowable output voltage ripple is acombination of the ripple current selected, the outputcapacitance selected, the equivalent series inductance (ESL)and ESR.

The main component of the ripple voltage is usually due tothe ESR of the output capacitor and the capacitance selected.

VESR_C � IO ra �ESRCo 1

8 FSW Co (eq. 18)

The ESL of capacitors depends on the technology chosenbut tends to range from 1 nH to 20 nH where ceramiccapacitors have the lowest inductance and electrolyticcapacitors then to have the highest. The calculatedcontributing voltage ripple from ESL is shown for the switchon and switch off below:

VESLON �ESL IPP FSW

D(eq. 19)

VESLOFF �ESL IPP FSW

(1 � D)(eq. 20)

The output capacitor is a basic component for the fastresponse of the power supply. In fact, during load transient,for the first few microseconds it supplies the current to theload. The controller immediately recognizes the loadtransient and sets the duty cycle to maximum, but the currentslope is limited by the inductor value.

During a load step transient the output voltage initially dropsdue to the current variation inside the capacitor and the ESR(neglecting the effect of the effective series inductance (ESL)).

�VOUT−ESR � �ITRAN ESRCo (eq. 21)

A minimum capacitor value is required to sustain thecurrent during the load transient without discharging it. Thevoltage drop due to output capacitor discharge isapproximated by the following equation:

�VOUT−DISCHG ��ITRAN

2 LOUT

COUT �VIN � VOUT

(eq. 22)

In a typical converter design, the ESR of the output capacitorbank dominates the transient response. It should be notedthat �VOUT−DISCHARGE and �VOUT−ESR are out ofphase with each other, and the larger of these two voltageswill determine the maximum deviation of the output voltage(neglecting the effect of the ESL).

Conversely during a load release, the output voltage canincrease as the energy stored in the inductor dumps into theoutput capacitor. The ESR contribution from Equation 18still applies in addition to the output capacitor charge whichis approximated by the following equation:

�VOUT−CHG ��ITRAN

2 LOUT

COUT VOUT

(eq. 23)

As with any power design, proper laboratory testing shouldbe performed to insure the design will dissipate the requiredpower under worst case operating conditions. Variablesconsidered during testing should include maximum ambienttemperature, minimum airflow, maximum input voltage,maximum loading, and component variations.

Feedback and CompensationThe NCP3155 is a voltage mode buck convertor with a

transconductance error amplifier compensated by anexternal compensation network. Compensation is needed toachieve accurate output voltage regulation and fast transientresponse. The goal of the compensation circuit is to providea loop gain function with the highest crossing frequency andadequate phase margin (minimally 45°). The transferfunction of the power stage (the output LC filter) is a doublepole system. The resonance frequency of this filter isexpressed as follows:

fP0 �1

2 � L COUT� (eq. 24)

Parasitic Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) of theoutput filter capacitor introduces a high frequency zero tothe filter network. Its value can be calculated by using thefollowing equation:

fZ0 �1

2 � COUT ESR(eq. 25)

The main loop zero crossover frequency f0 can be chosento be 1/10 − 1/5 of the switching frequency. Table 2 showsthe three methods of compensation.

Compensation Type IIITantalum and ceramics capacitors have lower ESR than

electrolytic, so the zero of the output LC filter goes to ahigher frequency above the zero crossover frequency. Thisrequires a Type III compensation network as shown inFigure 43.

There are two methods to select the zeros and poles of thiscompensation network. Method I is ideal for tantalumoutput capacitors, which have a higher ESR than ceramic:

Output Current DeratingThe NCP3155 has a wide input voltage and output voltage

capability. It also operates in a variety of thermalenvironments. These thermal conditions limit the maximumoutput current for a given input and output voltage.Therefore, proper output current derating must beconsidered, taking into account ambient temperature,airflow, the input and output conditions, and the need forincreased reliability. Figures 24 − 29 show safe operatingconditions vs. output current for input voltages of 12 V,18 V, and 24 V. These curves assumed 300 mm2 of 2 ozcopper. Sufficient cooling could also be provided to ensurereliable operation. Finally, to maintain operation in the safeoperating areas shown in the curves, it is recommended touse the NCP3155 with input to output conditions as shownin Figure 44. Figure 44.
