The MP2307 uses current-mode control to regulate the output voltage. The output voltage is measured at FB through a resistive voltage divider and amplified through the internal transconductance error amplifier. The voltage at the COMP pin is compared to the switch current (measured internally) to control the output voltage. The converter uses internal N-Channel MOSFET switches to step-down the input voltage to the regulated output voltage. Since the high side MOSFET requires a gate voltage greater than the input voltage, a boost capacitor connected between SW and BS is needed to drive the high side gate. The boost capacitor is charged from the internal 5V rail when SW is low. When the FB pin voltage exceeds 20% of the nominal regulation value of 0.925V, the over voltage comparator is tripped and the COMP pin and the SS pin are discharged to GND, forcing the high-side switch off. + CURRENT SENSE AMPLIFIER OVP 1.1V -OSCILLATOR + FB 5 110/340KHz 0.3V RAMP 1 BS 3 SW 4 GND 5V --+ + 0.925V IN -- CLK -SS 8 + 2 + ERROR AMPLIFIER S Q R Q CURRENT COMPARATOR COMP 6 -- EN 7 2.5V + EN OK OVP 1.2V IN < 4.10V LOCKOUT COMPARATOR IN + 7V Zener 1.5V -- INTERNAL REGULATORS SHUTDOWN COMPARATOR MP2307_BD01 Figure 1--Functional Block Diagram MP2307 Rev. 1.7 3/14/2006 www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information.

All Rights Reserved. 6 TM MP2307 - 3A, 23V, 340KHz SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIED STEP-DOWN CONVERTER APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The inductance value can be calculated by: COMPONENT SELECTION Setting the Output Voltage The output voltage is set using a resistive voltage divider connected from the output voltage to FB. The voltage divider divides the output voltage down to the feedback voltage by the ratio: VFB = VOUT R2 R1 + R2 R1 + R2 R2 Where VOUT is the output voltage, VIN is the input voltage, fS is the switching frequency, and IL is the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current. ILP = ILOAD + R2 can be as high as 100k, but a typical value is 10k. Using the typical value for R2, R1 is determined by: R1 = 10.81 x ( VOUT - 0.925 ) (k) For example, for a 3.3V output voltage, R2 is 10k, and R1 is 26.1k. Table 1 lists recommended resistance values of R1 and R2 for standard output voltages. Table 1--Recommended Resistance Values VOUT R1 R2 1.8V 2.5V 3.3V 5V 12V 9.53k 16.9k 26.1k 44.2k 121k 10k 10k 10k 10k 10k Inductor The inductor is required to supply constant current to the load while being driven by the switched input voltage. A larger value inductor will result in less ripple current that will in turn result in lower output ripple voltage. However, the larger value inductor will have a larger physical size, higher series resistance, and/or lower saturation current. A good rule for determining inductance is to allow the peak-topeak ripple current to be approximately 30% of the maximum switch current limit. Also, make sure that the peak inductor current is below the maximum switch current limit. MP2307 Rev. 1.7 3/14/2006 VOUT V x 1 - OUT f S x I L VIN Choose an inductor that will not saturate under the maximum inductor peak current, calculated by: Thus the output voltage is: VOUT = 0.925 x L= VOUT V x 1 - OUT 2 x f S x L VIN Where ILOAD is the load current. The choice of which style inductor to use mainly depends on the price vs. size requirements and any EMI constraints. Optional Schottky Diode During the transition between the high-side switch and low-side switch, the body diode of the low-side power MOSFET conducts the inductor current. The forward voltage of this body diode is high. An optional Schottky diode may be paralleled between the SW pin and GND pin to improve overall efficiency. Table 2 lists example Schottky diodes and their Manufacturers. Table 2--Diode Selection Guide Part Number Voltage/Current Rating B130 SK13 30V, 1A 30V, 1A MBRS130 30V, 1A Vendor Diodes, Inc. Diodes, Inc. International Rectifier Input Capacitor The input current to the step-down converter is discontinuous, therefore a capacitor is required to supply the AC current while maintaining the DC input voltage. Use low ESR capacitors for the best performance. Ceramic capacitors are preferred, but tantalum or low-ESR electrolytic capacitors will also suffice. Choose X5R or X7R dielectrics when using ceramic capacitors. www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information. Unauthorized Photocopy and Duplication Prohibited. (c) 2006 MPS. All Rights Reserved. 7 TM MP2307 - 3A, 23V, 340KHz SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIED STEP-DOWN CONVERTER Since the input capacitor (C1) absorbs the input switching current, it requires an adequate ripple current rating. The RMS current in the input capacitor can be estimated by: I C1 = ILOAD x VOUT VOUT x 1- VIN VIN When using tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, the ESR dominates the impedance at the switching frequency. For simplification, the output ripple can be approximated to: VOUT = VOUT V x 1 - OUT f S x L VIN x R ESR The worst-case condition occurs at VIN = 2VOUT, where IC1 = ILOAD/2. For simplification, use an input capacitor with a RMS current rating greater than half of the maximum load current. The characteristics of the output capacitor also affect the stability of the regulation system. The MP2307 can be optimized for a wide range of capacitance and ESR values. The input capacitor can be electrolytic, tantalum or ceramic. When using electrolytic or tantalum capacitors, a small, high quality ceramic capacitor, i.e. 0.1F, should be placed as close to the IC as possible. When using ceramic capacitors, make sure that they have enough capacitance to provide sufficient charge to prevent excessive voltage ripple at input. The input voltage ripple for low ESR capacitors can be estimated by: Compensation Components MP2307 employs current mode control for easy compensation and fast transient response. The system stability and transient response are controlled through the COMP pin. COMP is the output of the internal transconductance error amplifier. A series capacitor-resistor combination sets a pole-zero combination to govern the characteristics of the control system. VIN = ILOAD V x OUT C1 x fS VIN V x 1 - OUT VIN The DC gain of the voltage feedback loop is given by: A VDC = R LOAD x G CS x A EA x Where C1 is the input capacitance value. Output Capacitor The output capacitor (C2) is required to maintain the DC output voltage. Ceramic, tantalum, or low ESR electrolytic capacitors are recommended. Low ESR capacitors are preferred to keep the output voltage ripple low. The output voltage ripple can be estimated by: VOUT = VOUT V x 1 - OUT fS x L VIN 1 x R ESR + 8 x f S x C2 Where C2 is the output capacitance value and RESR is the equivalent series resistance (ESR) value of the output capacitor. When using ceramic capacitors, the impedance at the switching frequency is dominated by the capacitance which is the main cause for the output voltage ripple. For simplification, the output voltage ripple can be estimated by: VOUT = MP2307 Rev. 1.7 3/14/2006 V x 1 - OUT VIN x L x C2 VOUT 8 x fS 2 VFB VOUT Where VFB is the feedback voltage (0.925V), AVEA is the error amplifier voltage gain, GCS is the current sense transconductance and RLOAD is the load resistor value. The system has two poles of importance. One is due to the compensation capacitor (C3) and the output resistor of the error amplifier, and the other is due to the output capacitor and the load resistor. These poles are located at: fP1 = GEA 2 x C3 x A VEA fP2 = 1 2 x C2 x R LOAD Where GEA is transconductance. the error amplifier www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information.

All Rights Reserved. 8 TM MP2307 - 3A, 23V, 340KHz SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIED STEP-DOWN CONVERTER The system has one zero of importance, due to the compensation capacitor (C3) and the compensation resistor (R3). This zero is located at: f Z1 = 1 2 x C3 x R3 The system may have another zero of importance, if the output capacitor has a large capacitance and/or a high ESR value. The zero, due to the ESR and capacitance of the output capacitor, is located at: fESR 1 = 2 x C2 x R ESR In this case, a third pole set by compensation capacitor (C6) and compensation resistor (R3) is used compensate the effect of the ESR zero on loop gain. This pole is located at: fP 3 = the the to the 1 2 x C6 x R3 The goal of compensation design is to shape the converter transfer function to get a desired loop gain. The system crossover frequency where the feedback loop has the unity gain is important. Lower crossover frequencies result in slower line and load transient responses, while higher crossover frequencies could cause system instability. A good standard is to set the crossover frequency below one-tenth of the switching frequency. To optimize the compensation components, the following procedure can be used. 2. Choose the compensation capacitor (C3) to achieve the desired phase margin. For applications with typical inductor values, setting the compensation zero (fZ1) below one-forth of the crossover frequency provides sufficient phase margin. Determine C3 by the following equation: C3 > 4 2 x R3 x f C Where R3 is the compensation resistor. 3. Determine if the second compensation capacitor (C6) is required. It is required if the ESR zero of the output capacitor is located at less than half of the switching frequency, or the following relationship is valid: f 1 < S 2 x C2 x R ESR 2 If this is the case, then add the second compensation capacitor (C6) to set the pole fP3 at the location of the ESR zero. Determine C6 by the equation: C6 = C2 x R ESR R3 External Bootstrap Diode It is recommended that an external bootstrap diode be added when the system has a 5V fixed input or the power supply generates a 5V output. This helps improve the efficiency of the regulator. The bootstrap diode can be a low cost one such as IN4148 or BAT54. 5V 1. Choose the compensation resistor (R3) to set the desired crossover frequency. Determine R3 by the following equation: R3 = 2 x C2 x fC VOUT 2 x C2 x 0.1 x fS VOUT x < x GEA x GCS VFB GEA x GCS VFB Where fC is the desired crossover frequency which is typically below one tenth of the switching frequency.
