iP1203 Design Procedure
Only a few external components are required to com-
plete a dual output synchronous buck power supply
using iP1203. The following procedure will guide the
designer through the design and selection process
of these external components.
A typical application for the iP1203 is:
VIN = 12V, VOUT = 1.5V, IOUT = 15A, fsw = 300kHz, Vp-p =
= 50mV
Setting the Output Voltage
The output voltage of the iP1203 is set by the 0.8V
reference VREF and external voltage dividers.

Fig. 14: Typical Scheme for Output Voltage Setting
For Type II compensation,
VOUT is set according to equation (1):
VOUT = VREF x (1 + R2 /R5 ) (see Fig. 14)
(1)
Setting R2 to 1K, VOUT to 1.5V and VREF to 0.8V, will
result in R5= 1.14 Kohms. Final values can be se-
lected according to the desired accuracy of the out-
put.
To set the output voltage for Type III compensation,
refer to equation (24) in Type III compensation sec-
tion.
Setting the Overvoltage Trip
The output of the iP1203 will shut down if it experi-
ences a voltage in the range of 115% of VOUT. The
overvoltage sense pin FBs is connected to the out-
put through voltage dividers, R26 and R27 (Fig. 14),
and the trip setpoint is programmed according to
equation (1). A separate overvoltage sense pin FBs
is provided to protect the power supply output if for
some reason the main feedback loop is lost (for in-
stance, loss of feedback resistors). An optional 100pF
capacitor (C14) is used for delay and filtering.
If this redundancy is not required and if a Type II con-
trol loop compensation scheme is utilized, FBs pin
can be connected to FB.
Selecting the Soft-Start Capacitor
The soft start capacitor Css is selected according to
equation (2):
tss = 40 x Css
(2)
where,
tss is the output voltage ramp time in milliseconds,
and Css is the soft start capacitor in µF.
A 0.1µF capacitor will provide an output voltage ramp-
up time of about 4ms.
Input Capacitor Selection
The switching currents impose RMS current require-
ments on the input capacitors. Equation (3) allows
the selection of the input capacitors.
I RMS = Iout D(1 − D)
(3)
where, Iout is the output current, and D is the duty
cycle and is expressed as:
D = VOUT / VIN.
For the above example D= 0.13 and, using equation
(3) the capacitor rms current yields 5.0A.
