EXTERNAL COMPONENT SELECTION
Default values for external components of LP3925 bucks are
input and output capacitances CIN = COUT = 4.7 µF and in-
ductor L=1µH whit the lowest possible DCR (less than 50
mΩ). Below is the table with the selection of suitable inductors
for the application. With the carefull selection of the output
components the performance of the buck will not degrade in
stability, ripple, load regulation and transient aspects. The in-
ductor current (IL) and output voltage (VOUT) ripples are di-
rectly dependent on the external components. Current ripple
is mainly dependent on the inductance L
For example if use the combination L = 0.47 µH (DCR = 50
mΩ) and COUT = 30 µF (ESR = 10 mΩ), when VIN = 3V and
VOUT = 1.8V with load current of 600 mA, the theoretical peak
to peak current ripple should be:
while the RMS peak-to-peak voltage ripple should be in the
region of:
where fSW is the buck’s switching frequency and RPdson is the
drain to source resistance of the PMOS power switch. Voltage
ripple on the other hand has 2 main components.
One dependent on output capacitance:
The other is due to capacitor's ESR
The resulting RMS ripple is
DVS CONTROL
DVS allows a buck regulator to step between pre-pro-
grammed voltage values, using multifunctional pins as selec-
tors. DVS is supported for Buck1 and Buck2. They can have
up to 4 pre-programmed values, which are set in registers
BUCKn VOUTn.
Multifunctional pins can be set as single DVS selectors (1 se-
lecting signal) or dual DVS selectors (2 selecting signals).
DVS-controlling pins must be set as Buck1 DVS (code 0101)
or Buck2 DVS (code 0110) pins in their control registers
(named GPIOnn).
Any multifunctional pin can be used as a single DVS signal.
The signal selects between VOUT0 (input low) and VOUT1
(input high).
Dual DVS signals can only be predetermined pairs, the func-
tion description can be seen in the table below.
