MIC28512 Pin Description Pin Number Pin Name 1 DL 2 PGND 3 DH 4, 7, 8, 9, 25 (25 is ePad) PVIN Power Input Voltage. The PVIN pins supply power to the internal power switch. Connect all PVIN pins together and locally bypass with ceramic capacitors. The positive terminal of the input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the PVIN pins; the negative terminal of the input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the PGND pins 10,11, 22, 23, and 26. 5 LX The LX pin is the return path for the high-side driver circuit. Connect the negative terminal of the bootstrap capacitor directly to this pin. Also connect this pin to the SW pins 12, 21, and 27, with a low impedance path. The controller monitors voltages on this pin and the PGND for zero current detection. 6 BST Bootstrap Pin. This pin provides bootstrap supply for the high-side gate driver circuit. Connect a 0.1F capacitor and an optional resistor in series from the LX (Pin 5) to the BST. 10, 11, 22, 23, 26 (26 is ePad) PGND Power Ground. These pins are connected to the source of the low-side MOSFET. They are the return path for the step-down regulator power stage and should be tied together. The negative terminal of the input decoupling capacitor should be placed as close as possible to these pins. 12, 21, 27 (27 is ePad) SW 13 AGND 14 FB Feedback Input. The FB pin sets the regulated output voltage relative to the internal reference. This pin is connected to a resistor divider from the regulated output such that the FB pin is at 0.8V when the output is at the desired voltage. 15 PGOOD Power Good.

This pin is a high impedance open circuit when the voltage at FB pin is higher than 90% of the feedback reference voltage (typically 0.8V). 16 EN Enable Input. The EN pin enables the regulator. When the pin is pulled below the threshold, the regulator will shut down to an ultra-low current state. A precise threshold voltage allows the pin to operate as an accurate UVLO. Do not tie EN to VDD. 17 VIN Supply voltage for the internal LDO. The VIN operating voltage range is from 4.6V to 70V. A ceramic capacitor from VIN to AGND is required for decoupling. The decoupling capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the supply pin. 18 ILIM Current Limit Setting.

VDD is the internal supply bus for the IC. Connect to an external 1F bypass capacitor. When VIN is less than 5.5V, this regulator operates in drop-out mode. Connect VDD to VIN. 20 PVDD A 5V supply input for the low-side N-channel MOSFET driver circuit that can be tied to VDD externally. A 1F ceramic capacitor from PVDD to PGND is recommended for decoupling. 24 FREQ Switching Frequency Adjust pin. Connect this pin to VIN to operate at 680kHz.

MIC28512 It is not recommended to use MIC28512 with an OFFtime close to tOFF(min) during steady-state operation. Functional Description The MIC28512 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 70V) 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 discontinuousoperation mode, improving light load efficiency. Overcurrent protection is implemented by sensing lowside MOSFET's RDS(ON). The device features internal softstart, enable, UVLO, and thermal shutdown. The adaptive ON-time control scheme results in a constant switching frequency in the MIC28512. 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 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. Theory of Operation As illustrated in the Functional Diagram, the output voltage of the MIC28512 is sensed by the feedback (FB) pin via the 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, 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: t ON(ESTIMATED ) VOUT VIN fSW Output Voltage Rrange vs. Input Voltage OUTPUIT VOLTAGE (V) 30 Eq. 1 25 Fsw = 600kHz 20 Fsw = 400kHz Fsw = 200kHz 15 ALLOWABLE RANGE 10 0.8V (MINIMUM) 5 0 5 18 31 44 57 70 INPUT VOLTAGE (V) where VOUT is the output voltage, VIN is the power stage input voltage, and fSW is the switching frequency. Figure 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, 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 200ns (typical), the MIC28512 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. To illustrate the control loop operation, both the steadystate and load transient scenarios will be analyzed. Figure 2 shows the MIC28512 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. The maximum duty cycle is obtained from: DMAX 1 t OFF(MIN) fSW March 25, 2015 Eq. 2 16 Revision 1.2 MIC28512 2 Micre el, Inc. e true current-mode contrrol, the MIC28 8512 uses the e Unlike outpu ut voltage rip pple to trigger an ON-time e period. The e outpu ut voltage riipple is proportional to the inducto or curre nt ripple if th he ESR of the e output capacitor is large e enoug gh. The MIC C28512 contro ol loop has the advantage e of elim minating the n need for slope e compensation. In orrder to meet stability req quirements, th he MIC28512 2 feedb back voltage ripple shou uld be in ph hase with the e inducctor current rip pple and larg ge enough to be sensed by y the gm amplifier and the error comparator. The e recom mmended fee edback voltage ripple is 20mV~100mV. If a low-ESR ou utput capacittor is selectted, then the e feedb back voltage rripple may be e too small to be sensed by y the g m amplifier a and the erro or comparatorr. Also, if the e ESR of the outp put capacitorr is very low w, the outpu ut voltag ge ripple and d the feedba ack voltage rripple are no ot necesssarily in pha ase with the inductor currrent ripple. In n these e cases, ripple injection is required to e ensure prope er opera ation. Please refer to the ""Ripple Injectiion" section in n Appliccation Inform mation for mo ore details ab bout the ripple e injecttion technique e. Figure 2.. MIC28512 Co ontrol Loop Timing Figurre 3 shows th he operation of the MIC28 8512 during a load transient. The T output voltage v drops s due to the ease, which causes the VFB to be les ss sudden load incre than VREF. This will w cause the error comparrator to trigge er an O ON-time perio od. At the end d of the ON-ttime period, a minim mum OFF-tim me tOFF(min) is generated to o charge CBSST since e the feedbac ck voltage is still below VREF. Then, the next ON-time periiod is triggere ed due to the low feedbac ck voltage. Thereforre, the switc ching freque ency change es durin ng the load tra ansient, but returns r to the nominal fixed frequ uency once th he output has s stabilized att the new load curre ent level. With the varying g duty cycle and switching frequ uency, the outtput recovery y time is fast and a the outpu ut voltage deviation is small in MIC28512 conv verter. Disco ontinuous M Mode (MIC285 512-1 Only) ductor curre In co ontinuous mode, the ind ent is always greatter than zero; however, at light loads th he MIC28512 21 is able to forcce the inducctor current tto operate in n disco ontinuous mo ode.

During thiis period, the e efficiency is s optim mized by shuttting down all the non-esssential circuits and minimizing tthe supply ccurrent. The MIC28512-1 wake es up and turn ns on the hig gh-side MOSF FET when the e feedb back voltage VFB drops bellow 0.8V.

Marcch 25, 2015 18 Revision 1.2 2 Micrel, Inc. MIC28512 Power Good (PG) The power good (PG) pin is an open drain output which indicates logic high when the output is nominally 90% of its steady state voltage. MOSFET Gate Drive The Functional 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 10mA so a 0.1F to 1F is sufficient to hold the gate voltage with minimal droop for the power stroke (highside switching) cycle, i.e. BST = 10mA x 1.25s/0.1F = 125mV. 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 Nchannel MOSFET. March 25, 2015 19 Revision 1.2 Micre el, Inc.

Figure 7 7. Switching F Frequency vs. R4 Marcch 25, 2015 20 Revision 1.2 2 Micrel, Inc. MIC28512 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 using Equation 11: Inductor Selection Values for inductance, peak, and RMS currents are required to select the output inductor. 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 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: L VOUT VIN(MAX ) VOUT VIN(MAX ) IL(PP) fSW PL(Cu) = IL(RMS)2 x DCR Eq. 11 The resistance of the copper wire, DCR, increases with the temperature. The value of the winding resistance used should be at the operating temperature. DCR(HT) = DCR20C x (1 + 0.0042 x (TH T20C)) Eq. 8 Eq. 12 Where: Where: TH = temperature of the wire under full load. fSW = switching frequency. T20C = ambient temperature. L(PP) = The peak-to-peak inductor current ripple, Typically 20% of the maximum output current. DCR(20C) = room temperature winding resistance (usually specified by the manufacturer). In the 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. IL(PK ) IOUT 0.5 IL(PP) 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, OSCON 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. Eq. 9 The RMS inductor current is used to calculate the I2R losses in the inductor. IL(RMS) I2 OUT(MAX ) I2L(PP) I 2 The maximum value of ESR is calculated with Equation 13. Eq. 10 Maximizing efficiency requires the proper selection of core material and minimizing the winding resistance. The high frequency operation of the MIC28512 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 power supply. This is especially noticeable at low output power. The winding resistance decreases efficiency at the higher output current levels. March 25, 2015 ESR COUT VOUT(PP) IL(PP) Eq. 13 Where: VOUT(pp) = peak-to-peak output voltage ripple. IL(PP) = peak-to-peak inductor current ripple. 21 Revision 1.2 Micrel, Inc. MIC28512 The total output ripple is a combination of the ESR and output capacitance. The total ripple is calculated by Equation 14. 2 IL(PP) IL(PP) ESR COUT VOUT (PP) C OUT f SW 8 2 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: Eq. 14 Where: D = duty cycle COUT = output capacitance value fSW = switching frequency. VIN IL(PK ) ESR CIN As described in the "Theory of Operation" section in the Functional Description section, the MIC28512 requires at least 20mV 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. Please refer to the "Ripple Injection" section for more details. 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 ICIN(RMS) IOUT(MAX ) D 1 D IL(PP ) 12 PDISS(CIN) I2 CIN(RMS) ESR CIN March 25, 2015 Eq. 19 Ripple Injection The VFB ripple required for proper operation of the MIC28512's gm amplifier and error comparator is 20mV to 100mV. 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 MIC28512 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. Eq. 15 The power dissipated in the output capacitor is calculated using Equation 16. PDISS(COUT ) I2 COUT (RMS) ESR COUT Eq. 18 The power dissipated in the input capacitor is: 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 by Equation 15. ICOUT(RMS ) Eq. 17 Eq. 16 22 Revision 1.2 Micre el, Inc. MIC28512 2 The applications s are divide ed into three situations according to the amount a of the feedback volltage ripple: 1. E Enough ripple e at the feedback voltage due d to the la arge ESR of the t output capacitors. A As shown in Figure F 8, the converter is stable withou ut a any ripple inje ection.

Invisible e Ripple at FB B 23 Revision 1.2 2 Micrel, Inc. MIC28512 In this situation, the output voltage ripple is less than 20mV. 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 10. The injected ripple is: VFB(pp) VIN K div D (1- D) K div 1 fSW R1//R2 R inj R1//R2 The process of sizing the ripple injection resistor and capacitors is: Step 1. 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 1nF to 100nF if R1 and R2 are in k range. Step 2. Select Rinj according to the expected feedback voltage ripple using Equation 26. Eq. 23 K div Eq. 24 VFB(pp) VIN fSW D (1- D) Eq. 26 Then the value of Rinj is obtained using: Where: VIN = power stage input voltage Rinj (R1//R2) ( D = duty cycle fSW = switching frequency = (R1//R2//RINJ) x CFF In VFB(pp) VIN K div D (1- D) K div 1) Eq. 27 Step 3. Select CINJ as 100nF, which can be considered a short for a wide range of frequencies. 1 fSW 1 and R1//R2 K div R inj R1//R2 , it is assumed that the time constant associated with CFF must be much greater than the switching period: 1 fSW T 1 Eq. 25 If the voltage divider resistors R1 and R2 are in the k range, a Cff of 1nF to 100nF can easily satisfy the large time constant requirements. Also, a 100nF injection capacitor Cinj is used in order to be considered as short for a wide range of the frequencies. March 25, 2015 24 Revision 1.2 Micrel, Inc. MIC28512 Input Capacitor PCB Layout Guidelines Warning: To minimize EMI and output noise, follow these layout recommendations. 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 11 is optimized from small form factor point of view shows top and bottom layer of a four layer PCB. It is recommended to use mid layer 1 as a continuous ground plane. 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 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. SW Node Do not route any digital lines underneath or close to the SW node. Keep the switch node (SW) away from the feedback (FB) pin. 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. Figure 11. Top and Bottom Layer of a Four Layer Board The following guidelines should be followed to ensure the proper operation of the MIC28512 converter: 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. March 25, 2015 25 Revision 1.2 Micrel, Inc. MIC28512 Thermal Measurements Measuring the IC's case temperature is recommended to insure 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 heatsink, 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 than (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, a IR thermometer from Optris has a 1mm 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. March 25, 2015 26 Revision 1.2 Micre el, Inc.
