If we select L = 4.7µH and fOSC = 440kHz, PSLOPE =
VIN/(πL) = 214kHz, so choose fC = 40kHz and calculate CC:
CC = (VFB/VOUT)(RLOAD/RCS)(gm/2π fC)
= (1.25/1.5)(4.3/0.6) x (135µS/(6.28 x 40kHz)
= 3.2nF
Choose 3.3nF. Now select RC such that transient droop
requirements are met. For example, if 4% transient
droop is allowed, the input to the error amplifier moves
0.04 x 1.25V, or 50mV. The error amp output drives
50mV x 135µS, or 6.75µA across RC to provide tran-
sient gain. Since the current-sense transresistance is
0.6V/A, the value of RC that allows the required load
step swing:
RC = 0.6 IIND(PK)/6.75µA
In a step-down DC-to-DC converter, if LIDEAL is used,
output current relates to inductor current by:
IIND(PK) = 1.25 IOUT
Thus, for a 250mA output load step with VIN = 3.35V
and VOUT = 1.5V:
RC = (1.25 x 0.6 x 0.25)/6.75µA = 27.8kΩ
Choose 27kΩ. Note that the inductor does not limit the
response in this case since it can ramp at (VIN -
VOUT)/4.7µH, or (3.35 - 1.5)/4.7µH = 394mA/µs.
The output filter capacitor is then chosen so that the
COUT RLOAD pole cancels the RC CC zero:
COUTRLOAD = RCCC
For example:
COUT = 27kΩ x 3.3nF/4.3 = 20.7µF
Choose 22µF. If the output filter capacitor has signifi-
cant ESR, a zero occurs at:
ZESR = 1/(2π COUTRESR)
If ZESR > fC, it can be ignored, as is typically the case
with ceramic output capacitors. If ZESR is less than fC,
it should be cancelled with a pole set by capacitor CP
connected from COMPSD to GND:
CP = COUTRESR/RC
If CP is calculated to be < 10pF, it can be omitted.
Auxiliary Controller Component Selection
External MOSFET
All MAX1565 auxiliary controllers drive external logic-
level N-channel MOSFETs. Significant MOSFET selec-
tion parameters are:
1) On-resistance (RDS(ON))
2) Maximum drain-to-source voltage (VDS(MAX))
3) Total gate charge (QG)
4) Reverse transfer capacitance (CRSS)
DL_ swings between OUTSU and GND. Use a MOSFET
with on-resistance specified at or below the main output
voltage. The gate charge, QG, includes all capacitance
associated with charging the gate and helps to predict
MOSFET transition time between on and off states.
MOSFET power dissipation is a combination of
on-resistance and transition losses. The on-resistance
loss is:
PRDSON = D IL2 RDS(ON)
where D is the duty cycle, IL is the average inductor
current, and RDS(ON) is MOSFET on-resistance. The
transition loss is approximately:
PTRANS = (VOUT IL fOSC tT)/3
where VOUT is the output voltage, IL is the average
inductor current, fOSC is the switching frequency, and
tT is the transition time. The transition time is approxi-
mately QG/IG, where QG is the total gate charge, and
IG is the gate drive current (typically 0.5A). The total
power dissipation in the MOSFET is:
PMOSFET = PRDSON + PTRANS
Diode
For most auxiliary applications, a Schottky diode rectifies
the output voltage. The Schottky diode’s low forward volt-
age and fast recovery time provide the best performance
in most applications. Silicon signal diodes (such as
1N4148) are sometimes adequate in low-current
(<10mA) high-voltage (>10V) output circuits where the
output voltage is large compared to the diode forward
voltage.
Auxiliary Compensation
The auxiliary controllers employ voltage-mode control
to regulate their output voltage. Optimum compensa-
tion somewhat depends on whether the design uses
continuous or discontinuous inductor current.
