Because this is current mode control, a 50 m sense resistor in series with the switch FET is used to provide a voltage (which is proportional to the FET current) to both the input of the pulse width modulation (PWM) comparator and the current limit amplifier. At the beginning of each cycle, the S-R latch turns on the FET. As the current through the FET increases, a voltage (proportional to this current) is summed with the ramp coming from the ramp generator and then fed into the input of the PWM comparator. When this voltage exceeds the voltage on the other input (coming from the Gm amplifier), the latch resets and turns the FET off. Since the signal coming from the Gm amplifier is derived from the feedback (which samples the voltage at the output), the action of the PWM comparator constantly sets the correct peak current through the FET to keep the output volatge in regulation. Q1 and Q2 along with R3 - R6 form a bandgap voltage reference used by the IC to hold the output in regulation. The currents flowing through Q1 and Q2 will be equal, and the feedback loop will adjust the regulated output to maintain this. Because of this, the regulated output is always maintained at a voltage level equal to the voltage at the FB node "multiplied up" by the ratio of the output resistive divider. The current limit comparator feeds directly into the flip-flop, that drives the switch FET. If the FET current reaches the limit threshold, the FET is turned off and the cycle terminated until the next clock pulse. The current limit input terminates the pulse regardless of the status of the output of the PWM comparator. 8 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2002-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM2733 LM2733 www.ti.com SNVS209E - NOVEMBER 2002 - REVISED APRIL 2013 Application Hints SELECTING THE EXTERNAL CAPACITORS The best capacitors for use with the LM2733 are multi-layer ceramic capacitors. They have the lowest ESR (equivalent series resistance) and highest resonance frequency which makes them optimum for use with high frequency switching converters. When selecting a ceramic capacitor, only X5R and X7R dielectric types should be used. Other types such as Z5U and Y5F have such severe loss of capacitance due to effects of temperature variation and applied voltage, they may provide as little as 20% of rated capacitance in many typical applications. Always consult capacitor manufacturer's data curves before selecting a capacitor. High-quality ceramic capacitors can be obtained from Taiyo-Yuden, AVX, and Murata. SELECTING THE OUTPUT CAPACITOR A single ceramic capacitor of value 4.7 F to 10 F will provide sufficient output capacitance for most applications. For output voltages below 10V, a 10 F capacitance is required. If larger amounts of capacitance are desired for improved line support and transient response, tantalum capacitors can be used in parallel with the ceramics. Aluminum electrolytics with ultra low ESR such as Sanyo Oscon can be used, but are usually prohibitively expensive. Typical AI electrolytic capacitors are not suitable for switching frequencies above 500 kHz due to significant ringing and temperature rise due to self-heating from ripple current. An output capacitor with excessive ESR can also reduce phase margin and cause instability. SELECTING THE INPUT CAPACITOR An input capacitor is required to serve as an energy reservoir for the current which must flow into the coil each time the switch turns ON. This capacitor must have extremely low ESR, so ceramic is the best choice. We recommend a nominal value of 2.2 F, but larger values can be used. Since this capacitor reduces the amount of voltage ripple seen at the input pin, it also reduces the amount of EMI passed back along that line to other circuitry. FEED-FORWARD COMPENSATION Although internally compensated, the feed-forward capacitor Cf is required for stability (see Figure 26). Adding this capacitor puts a zero in the loop response of the converter. Without it, the regulator loop can oscillate. The recommended frequency for the zero fz should be approximately 8 kHz. Cf can be calculated using the formula: Cf = 1 / (2 X X R1 X fz) (1) SELECTING DIODES The external diode used in the typical application should be a Schottky diode. If the switch voltage is less than 15V, a 20V diode such as the MBR0520 is recommended. If the switch voltage is between 15V and 25V, a 30V diode such as the MBR0530 is recommended. If the switch voltage exceeds 25V, a 40V diode such as the MBR0540 should be used. The MBR05XX series of diodes are designed to handle a maximum average current of 0.5A. For applications exceeding 0.5A average but less than 1A, a Microsemi UPS5817 can be used. LAYOUT HINTS High frequency switching regulators require very careful layout of components in order to get stable operation and low noise. All components must be as close as possible to the LM2733 device. It is recommended that a 4layer PCB be used so that internal ground planes are available. As an example, a recommended layout of components is shown: Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2002-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM2733 9 LM2733 SNVS209E - NOVEMBER 2002 - REVISED APRIL 2013 www.ti.com Figure 25. Recommended PCB Component Layout Some additional guidelines to be observed: 1. Keep the path between L1, D1, and C2 extremely short. Parasitic trace inductance in series with D1 and C2 will increase noise and ringing. 2. The feedback components R1, R2 and CF must be kept close to the FB pin of U1 to prevent noise injection on the FB pin trace. 3. If internal ground planes are available (recommended) use vias to connect directly to ground at pin 2 of U1, as well as the negative sides of capacitors C1 and C2. SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE The output voltage is set using the external resistors R1 and R2 (see Figure 26). A value of approximately 13.3 k is recommended for R2 to establish a divider current of approximately 92 A. R1 is calculated using the formula: R1 = R2 X (VOUT/1.23 - 1) (2) SWITCHING FREQUENCY The LM2733 is provided with two switching frequencies: the "X" version is typically 1.6 MHz, while the "Y" version is typically 600 kHz. The best frequency for a specific application must be determined based on the tradeoffs involved: Higher switching frequency means the inductors and capacitors can be made smaller and cheaper for a given output voltage and current. The down side is that efficiency is slightly lower because the fixed switching losses occur more frequently and become a larger percentage of total power loss. EMI is typically worse at higher switching frequencies because more EMI energy will be seen in the higher frequency spectrum where most circuits are more sensitive to such interference. Figure 26. Basic Application Circuit 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2002-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM2733 LM2733 www.ti.com SNVS209E - NOVEMBER 2002 - REVISED APRIL 2013 DUTY CYCLE The maximum duty cycle of the switching regulator determines the maximum boost ratio of output-to-input voltage that the converter can attain in continuous mode of operation. The duty cycle for a given boost application is defined as: VOUT + VDIODE - VIN Duty Cycle = VOUT + VDIODE - VSW (3) This applies for continuous mode operation. The equation shown for calculating duty cycle incorporates terms for the FET switch voltage and diode forward voltage. The actual duty cycle measured in operation will also be affected slightly by other power losses in the circuit such as wire losses in the inductor, switching losses, and capacitor ripple current losses from self-heating. Therefore, the actual (effective) duty cycle measured may be slightly higher than calculated to compensate for these power losses. A good approximation for effctive duty cycle is : DC (eff) = (1 - Efficiency x (VIN/VOUT)) (4) Where the efficiency can be approximated from the curves provided. INDUCTANCE VALUE The first question we are usually asked is: "How small can I make the inductor?" (because they are the largest sized component and usually the most costly). The answer is not simple and involves tradeoffs in performance. Larger inductors mean less inductor ripple current, which typically means less output voltage ripple (for a given size of output capacitor). Larger inductors also mean more load power can be delivered because the energy stored during each switching cycle is: E =L/2 X (lp)2 (5) Where "lp" is the peak inductor current. An important point to observe is that the LM2733 will limit its switch current based on peak current. This means that since lp(max) is fixed, increasing L will increase the maximum amount of power available to the load. Conversely, using too little inductance may limit the amount of load current which can be drawn from the output. Best performance is usually obtained when the converter is operated in "continuous" mode at the load current range of interest, typically giving better load regulation and less output ripple. Continuous operation is defined as not allowing the inductor current to drop to zero during the cycle. It should be noted that all boost converters shift over to discontinuous operation as the output load is reduced far enough, but a larger inductor stays "continuous" over a wider load current range. To better understand these tradeoffs, a typical application circuit (5V to 12V boost with a 10 H inductor) will be analyzed. We will assume: VIN = 5V, VOUT = 12V, VDIODE = 0.5V, VSW = 0.5V Since the frequency is 1.6 MHz (nominal), the period is approximately 0.625 s. The duty cycle will be 62.5%, which means the ON time of the switch is 0.390 s. It should be noted that when the switch is ON, the voltage across the inductor is approximately 4.5V. Using the equation: V = L (di/dt) (6) We can then calculate the di/dt rate of the inductor which is found to be 0.45 A/s during the ON time. Using these facts, we can then show what the inductor current will look like during operation: Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2002-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM2733 11 LM2733 SNVS209E - NOVEMBER 2002 - REVISED APRIL 2013 www.ti.com Figure 27. 10 H Inductor Current, 5V-12V Boost (LM2733X) During the 0.390 s ON time, the inductor current ramps up 0.176A and ramps down an equal amount during the OFF time. This is defined as the inductor "ripple current". It can also be seen that if the load current drops to about 33 mA, the inductor current will begin touching the zero axis which means it will be in discontinuous mode. A similar analysis can be performed on any boost converter, to make sure the ripple current is reasonable and continuous operation will be maintained at the typical load current values. MAXIMUM SWITCH CURRENT The maximum FET swtch current available before the current limiter cuts in is dependent on duty cycle of the application. This is illustrated in the graphs below which show both the typical and specified values of switch current for both the "X" and "Y" versions as a function of effective (actual) duty cycle: 1600 SWITCH CURRENT LIMIT (mA) 1400 VIN = 5V 1200 1000 VIN = 3.3V 800 VIN = 2.7V 600 400 200 0 0 20 40 60 80 100 DUTY CYCLE (%) = [1 - EFF*(VIN/VOUT))] Figure 28.

The switch current can be found by: ISW = IIND(AVG) + 1/2 (IRIPPLE) (8) Inductor ripple current is dependent on inductance, duty cycle, input voltage and frequency: IRIPPLE = DC x (VIN-VSW) / (f x L) (9) combining all terms, we can develop an expression which allows the maximum available load current to be calculated: ILOAD(max) = (1 - DC) x (ISW(max) - DC (VIN - VSW)) 2fL (10) The equation shown to calculate maximum load current takes into account the losses in the inductor or turn-OFF switching losses of the FET and diode. For actual load current in typical applications, we took bench data for various input and output voltages for both the "X" and "Y" versions of the LM2733 and displayed the maximum load current available for a typical device in graph form: Figure 30. Max. Load Current vs VIN - "X" Figure 31. Max. Load Current vs VIN - "Y" DESIGN PARAMETERS VSW AND ISW The value of the FET "ON" voltage (referred to as VSW in the equations) is dependent on load current. A good approximation can be obtained by multiplying the "ON Resistance" of the FET times the average inductor current. FET on resistance increases at VIN values below 5V, since the internal N-FET has less gate voltage in this input voltage range (see Typical Performance Characteristics curves). Above VIN = 5V, the FET gate voltage is internally clamped to 5V. Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2002-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM2733 13 LM2733 SNVS209E - NOVEMBER 2002 - REVISED APRIL 2013 www.ti.com The maximum peak switch current the device can deliver is dependent on duty cycle. The minimum value is specified to be > 1A at duty cycle below 50%. For higher duty cycles, see Typical performance Characteristics curves. THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS At higher duty cycles, the increased ON time of the FET means the maximum output current will be determined by power dissipation within the LM2733 FET switch. The switch power dissipation from ON-state conduction is calculated by: P(SW) = DC x IIND(AVE)2 x RDSON (11) There will be some switching losses as well, so some derating needs to be applied when calculating IC power dissipation. MINIMUM INDUCTANCE In some applications where the maximum load current is relatively small, it may be advantageous to use the smallest possible inductance value for cost and size savings. The converter will operate in discontinuous mode in such a case. The minimum inductance should be selected such that the inductor (switch) current peak on each cycle does not reach the 1A current limit maximum. To understand how to do this, an example will be presented. In the example, the LM2733X will be used (nominal switching frequency 1.6 MHz, minimum switching frequency 1.15 MHz). This means the maximum cycle period is the reciprocal of the minimum frequency: TON(max) = 1/1.15M = 0.870 s (12) We will assume the input voltage is 5V, VOUT = 12V, VSW = 0.2V, VDIODE = 0.3V. The duty cycle is: Duty Cycle = 60.3% Therefore, the maximum switch ON time is 0.524 s. An inductor should be selected with enough inductance to prevent the switch current from reaching 1A in the 0.524 s ON time interval (see below): Figure 32. Discontinuous Design, 5V-12V Boost (LM2733X) The voltage across the inductor during ON time is 4.8V. Minimum inductance value is found by: V = L X dl/dt, L = V X (dt/dl) = 4.8 (0.524/1) = 2.5 H (13) In this case, a 2.7 H inductor could be used assuming it provided at least that much inductance up to the 1A current value. This same analysis can be used to find the minimum inductance for any boost application. Using the slower switching "Y" version requires a higher amount of minimum inductance because of the longer switching period. INDUCTOR SUPPLIERS Some of the recommended suppliers of inductors for this product include, but not limited to are Sumida, Coilcraft, Panasonic, TDK and Murata. When selecting an inductor, make certain that the continuous current rating is high enough to avoid saturation at peak currents. A suitable core type must be used to minimize core (switching) losses, and wire power losses must be considered when selecting the current rating. SHUTDOWN PIN OPERATION The device is turned off by pulling the shutdown pin low. If this function is not going to be used, the pin should be tied directly to VIN. If the SHDN function will be needed, a pull-up resistor must be used to VIN (approximately 50k-100k recommended). The SHDN pin must not be left unterminated. 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2002-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM2733 LM2733 www.ti.com SNVS209E - NOVEMBER 2002 - REVISED APRIL 2013 REVISION HISTORY Changes from Revision D (April 2013) to Revision E * Page Changed layout of National Data Sheet to TI format .......................................................................................................... 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2002-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM2733 15 PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM www.ti.com 1-Nov-2013 PACKAGING INFORMATION Orderable Device Status (1) Package Type Package Pins Package Drawing Qty Eco Plan Lead/Ball Finish MSL Peak Temp (2) (6) (3) Op Temp (C) Device Marking (4/5) LM2733XMF NRND SOT-23 DBV 5 1000 TBD Call TI Call TI -40 to 125 S52A LM2733XMF/NOPB ACTIVE SOT-23 DBV 5 1000 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU SN Level-1-260C-UNLIM -40 to 125 S52A LM2733XMFX/NOPB ACTIVE SOT-23 DBV 5 3000 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU SN Level-1-260C-UNLIM -40 to 125 S52A LM2733YMF NRND SOT-23 DBV 5 1000 TBD Call TI Call TI -40 to 125 S52B LM2733YMF/NOPB ACTIVE SOT-23 DBV 5 1000 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU SN Level-1-260C-UNLIM -40 to 125 S52B LM2733YMFX/NOPB ACTIVE SOT-23 DBV 5 3000 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU SN Level-1-260C-UNLIM -40 to 125 S52B (1) The marketing status values are defined as follows: ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.

(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability information and additional product content details. TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined. Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above. Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous material) (3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature. (4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device. (5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
