AN8049FHN
1.8-volt 3-channel step-up, step-down, and polarity inverting DC-DC converter control IC
Unit: mm

s Overview
The AN8049FHN is a three-channel PWM DC-DC converter control IC that features low-voltage operation. This IC can form a power supply that provides two stepup outputs and one step-down or polarity inverted output with a minimal number of external components. Minimal operating supply voltage of this IC is as low as 1.8 V, so that it can operate from 2 dry-batteries. And also, it is housed in an ultrathin, 4-directionallead SMD-package whose thickness is 0.8 mm maximum and pin-pitch is 0.5 mm therefore it is most suitable for making a power supply small and thin.

1. Reference voltage block This circuit is composed of a band gap circuit, and outputs a 1.26 V (typical) reference voltage that is temperature compensated to a precision of ±1%. This reference voltage is stabilized when the supply voltage is 1.8 V or higher. This reference voltage is used by error amplifiers 1 and 2. 2. Triangular wave generator This circuit generates a triangular wave like a VOSCH sawtooth with a peak of 0.7 V and a trough of 0.2 V 0.7 V using a capacitor CT (for the time constant) and resistor RT connected to the OSC pin (pin 15). The oscillator frequency can be set to an arbitrary value by selecting appropriate values for the external capacitor and resisVOSCL tor, CT and RT. This IC can use an oscillator frequency 0.2 V t2 t1 in the range 20 kHz to 1 MHz. The triangular wave signal is provided to the noninverting input of the PWM Discharge Rapid charge comparator in each channel internally to the IC. Use T the formulas below for rough calculation of the oscillator frequency. Figure 1. Triangular oscillator waveform fOSC - 1 0.8 × (Hz) VOSCL CT × RT CT × RT × ln VOSCH Note, however, that the above formulas do not take the rapid charge time, overshoot, and undershoot into account. See the experimentally determined graph of the oscillator frequency vs. timing capacitance value provided in the main characteristics section. 1

3. Error amplifier 1 This circuit is an npn-transistor input error amplifier that detects and amplifies the DC-DC converter output voltage, and inputs that signal to a PWM comparator. The 1.26 V internal reference voltage is applied to the noninverting input. Arbitrary gain and phase compensation can be set up by inserting a resistor and capacitor in series between the FB1 pin (pin 22) and the IN±1 pin (pin 21). The output voltage VOUT1 can be set using the circuit shown in the figure.

Timer latch short-circuit protection circuit This circuit protects the external main switching elements, flywheel diodes, choke coils, and other components against degradation or destruction if an excessive load or a short circuit of the power supply output continues for longer than a certain fixed period. The timer latch short-circuit protection circuit detects the output of the error amplifiers. If the DC-DC converter output voltage drops and an FB pin (pins 18, 20, or 22) voltage exceeds 0.9 V, the S.C.P. comparator outputs a low level and the timer circuit starts. This starts charging the external protection circuit delay time capacitor. If the error amplifier output does not return to the normal voltage range before that capacitor reaches 1.26 V, the latch circuit latches, the output drive transistors are turned off, and the dead-time is set to 100%.

7. Low input voltage malfunction prevention circuit (U.V.L.O.) This circuit protects the system against degradation or destruction due to incorrect control operation when the power supply voltage falls during power on or power off. The low input voltage malfunction prevention circuit detects the internal reference voltage that changes with the supply voltage level. While the supply voltage is rising, this circuit cuts off the output drive transistor until the reference voltage reaches 1.67 V. It also sets the dead-time to 100% and at the same time holds the S.C.P. pin (pin 23) and the DT pins (pins 1, 2, and 24) at 0 V, and the OSC pin (pin 15) at about 1.2 V. 8. PWM comparators The PWM comparators control the on-period of the output pulse according to their input voltage. The output transistors are turned on during periods when the OSC pin (pin 15) triangular wave is lower than both of the corresponding FB pin (pins 18, 20, or 22) and the corresponding DT pin (pins 1, 2, or 24). The PWM 2 circuit turns the output transistor on during periods when OSC pin (pin 15) triangular wave is at a higher level than both of the FB2 pin (pin 20) and the DT2 pin (pin 1). The maximum duty is set to 86% internally, but it can be set to a value lower than 86% by inserting a resistor between the corresponding DT pin and ground, and can be set to a value higher than 86% by inserting a resistor between the corresponding DT pin and the VREF pin. The IC's soft start function operates to gradually increase the width of the output pulse on-period during startup if a capacitor is inserted between the DT pin and ground. 9. Output 1 and output 2 blocks These output circuits have a totem pole structure. A constant-current source output with good line regulation can be set up freely by connecting current setting resistors to the RB pins. These circuits can provide a constant-current source output of up to 50 mA. 10. Output 3 block This output circuit has an open collector structure. An output current of up to 50 mA can be provided, and the output pin has a breakdown voltage of 15 V. 11. CTL block The CTL block output circuit also has a totem pole structure. A constant-current source output with good line regulation can be set up freely by connecting current setting resistors to the RB2 pin. The CTL block can provide a constant-current source output of up to 50 mA.

[5] Time constant setup for the timer latch short-circuit protection circuit Figure 6 shows the structure of the timer latch short-circuit protection circuit. The short-circuit protection comparator continuously compares a 0.9 V reference voltage with the FB1, FB2, and FB3 error amplifier outputs. When the DC-DC converter output load conditions are stable, the short-circuit protection comparator holds its average value since there are no fluctuations in the error amplifier outputs. At this time, the output transistor Q1 will be in the conducting state, and the S.C.P. pin will be held at 0 V. If the output load conditions change rapidly and a high-level signal (0.9 V or higher) is input to the short-circuit protection comparator from the error amplifier output, the short-circuit protection comparator will output a low level and the output transistor Q1 will shut off. Then, the capacitor CSCP connected to the S.C.P. pin will start to charge. When the external capacitor CSCP is charged to about 1.26 V by the constant current of about 1.1 mA, the latch circuit will latch and the dead-time will be set to 100% with the output held fixed at the low level. Once the latch circuit has latched, the S.C.P. pin capacitor will be discharged to about 0 V, but the latch circuit will not reset unless either power is turned off or the power supply is restarted using on/off control. 1.26 V = ICHG × tPE

CSCP tPE (s) = 1.15 × CSCP (µF) At power supply startup, the output appears to be in the shorted state, and the IC starts to charge the S.C.P. pin capacitor. Therefore, users must select an external capacitor that allows the DC-DC converter output voltage to rise before the latch circuit in the later stage latches. In particular, care is required if the soft start function is used, since that function makes the startup time longer.

[6] Parallel synchronous operation of multiple ICs Multiple instances of this IC can be operated in parallel. If the OSC pins (pin 15) and Off pins (pin 6) are connected to each other as shown in figure 7, the ICs will operate at the same frequency. It is also possible to operate a one-channel control IC (e.g. the AN8016SH or AN8016NSH) and a two-channel control IC (e.g. the AN8017SA or AN8018SA) in this parallel synchronous mode. In this case, short the OSC and Off pins together. Note that it is not possible to control the on/off states of each IC operating in this mode independently. It is only possible to turn all the ICs on or off at the same time remotely.

[7] Sequential operation Delays can be provided in the startup times by inserting capacitors (CCTL) between the CTL pins and ground. Delay time: tDLY = 1.26 (V) × CCTL (µF)/1.1 (µA) (s) Note that the individual channels can also be turned on or off independently by external signals. These external signals may have voltages in the range 0 V to VCC.
