2.5A Low Noise Step-Down Converter
junction over-temperature threshold is 140°C with 15°C
of hysteresis. Once an over-temperature or over-current
fault condition is removed, the output voltage automati-
cally recovers.
Peak current mode control and optimized internal com-
pensation provide high loop bandwidth and excellent
response to input voltage and fast load transient events.
Soft start eliminates output voltage overshoot when the
enable or the input voltage is applied. Under-voltage
lockout prevents spurious start-up events.
Control Loop
The AAT2153 is a peak current mode step-down con-
verter. The current through the P-channel MOSFET (high
side) is sensed for current loop control, as well as short-
circuit and overload protection. A fixed slope compensa-
tion signal is added to the sensed current to maintain
stability for duty cycles greater than 50%. The peak cur-
rent mode loop appears as a voltage-programmed cur-
rent source in parallel with the output capacitor.
The output of the voltage error amplifier programs the
current mode loop for the necessary peak switch current
to force a constant output voltage for all load and line
conditions. Internal loop compensation terminates the
transconductance voltage error amplifier output. The
reference voltage is internally set to program the con-
verter output voltage greater than or equal to 0.6V.
Soft Start/Enable
Soft start limits the current surge seen at the input and
eliminates output voltage overshoot. When pulled low,
the enable input forces the AAT2153 into a low-power,
non-switching state. The total input current during shut-
down is less than 1μA.
Current Limit and
Over-Temperature Protection
For overload conditions, the peak input current is limit-
ed. To minimize power dissipation and stresses under
current limit and short-circuit conditions, switching is
terminated after entering current limit for a series of
pulses. Switching is terminated for seven consecutive
clock cycles after a current limit has been sensed for a
series of four consecutive clock cycles.
Thermal protection completely disables switching when
internal dissipation becomes excessive. The junction
over-temperature threshold is 140°C with 15°C of hys-
teresis. Once an over-temperature or over-current fault
conditions is removed, the output voltage automatically
recovers.
Under-Voltage Lockout
Internal bias of all circuits is controlled via the VCC
input. Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) guarantees suffi-
cient V_IN bias and proper operation of all internal cir-
cuitry prior to activation.
