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

s Overview
The AN8049SH 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. The AN8049SH features the ability to operate from a supply voltage as low as 1.8 V, and thus can be operated from two dry-batteries.

[1] Allowable power dissipation

Voltage Regulators

1. Since the power dissipation (P) in this IC increases proportionally with the supply voltage, applications must be careful to operate so that the loss does not exceed the allowable power dissipation, PD, for the package. See the PD Ta curve. Reference formula: P = (VCC -VBEQ1) × ISO(OUT)1 × Du1+ (VCC -VBEQ2) × ISO(OUT)2 × Du2+VO(SAT)3 × IOUT3 × Du3+VCC × ICC < PD VBEQ1 : The voltage between the base and emitter of the channel 1 npn transistor ISO(OUT)1 : The OUT1 pin output source current (This is set by the resistor connected to the RB1 pin. When RB is 1 k, ISO(OUT)1 will be 34 mA, maximum.) Du1 : The output 1 on-duty VBEQ2 : The voltage between the base and emitter of the channel 2 npn transistor ISO(OUT)2 : The OUT2 pin output source current (This is set by the resistor connected to the RB2 pin. When RB is 1 k, ISO(OUT)2 will be 34 mA, maximum.) Du2 : The output 2 on-duty VO(SAT)3 : The OUT3 pin saturation voltage (0.5 V maximum when IOUT3 is 40 mA.) IOUT3 : The OUT3 pin current (This will be {VCC - VBEQ3 - VO(SAT)3}/RO3.) Du3 : The output 3 on-duty ICC : The VCC pin current 2. If the IC is shorted to ground, shorted to VCC, or inserted incorrectly, either the device itself or peripheral components will be destroyed. [2] Allowable VCC ripple VCC ripple due to the switching transistor being turned on and off can cause this IC's U.V.L.O. circuit, which is biased by VCC, to operate incorrectly, and can cause the S.C.P. capacitor charging operation to fail to start when the output is shorted. The figure shows the allowable range for VCC ripple. Applications should reduce VCC ripple either by inserting a ripple filter in the VCC line or by inserting a capacitor between the IC GND and VCC pins and locating that capacitor as close to the IC as possible. Note that the allowable range shown here is the result of testing the IC independently, and that the allowable range may differ depending on the actual system of the power supply circuit. Also note that this allowable range is a design target, and is not guaranteed by testing of all samples.

AN8049SH

[3] Notes on MOS drive Since the AN8049SH channel 1 and 2 output circuits were designed to drive bipolar transistors, the following points require care if this device is used to drive n-channel MOS transistors directly. 1. Use an n-channel MOS transistor with a low input capacitance. VIN VOUT The AN8049SH is designed to drive bipolar transistors, and adopts a circuit structure that can provide a constant-current (50 mA maximum) output source current. Furthermore, it has a sink current capacity of 80 mA maxiOUT1/2 mum. This means that designs must be concerned about increased loss due to longer rise- and fall-times. If a probFigure 1. Output boosting circuit lem occurs, an inverter may be inserted as shown in figure 1 to provide amplification. 2. Use an n-channel MOS transistor with a low gate-threshold voltage. Since the AN8049SH OUT1 and OUT2 pin high-level output voltage is VCC - 1.0 V (minimum), low VT MOS transistors with an adequately low on-resistance must be used. Also, if a large VGS is required, one solution is to use a transformer as shown in figure 2, and apply a voltage that is twice the input voltage to the IC's VCC pin.

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 sawtooth with a peak of 0.7 V and a trough of 0.2 V using a capacitor CT (for the time constant) and resistor RT connected to the OSC1 pin (pin 17). The oscillator frequency can be set to an arbitrary value by selecting appropriate values for the external capacitor CT and resistor R T. This IC can use an oscillator frequency in the range 20 kHz to 1 MHz. The triangular wave signal is provided to the noninverting input of the PWM comparator in each channel internally to the IC. Use the formulas below for rough calculation of the oscillator frequency. fOSC - 1 CT × RT × ln VOSCL VOSCH 0.8 × 1 CT × RT (Hz)

See the experimentally determined graph of the oscillator frequency vs. timing capacitance value provided in the main characteristics section. 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 24) and the IN-1 pin (pin 23).

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 20, 22, or 24) 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%. (See the "[5] Time constant setup for the timer latch short-circuit protection circuit" section later in this document.)

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 1) and the DT pins (pins 2, 3, and 4) at 0 V, and the OSC pin (pin 17) 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 PWM 1 and PWM 2 comparators reverse the logic of their inputs when adjusting the on-period of their respective output. The output transistors are turned on during periods when the OSC pin (pin 17) triangular waveform is lower than both of the corresponding FB pin (pins 20, 22, or 24) and the corresponding DT pin (pins 2, 3, or 4). The maximum duty is set to 86 % internally, but can be set to a value in the range 0% to 100% by inserting a resistor between the DT pin and ground, or the DT pin and VREF pin. (See the "[6] Setting the maximum duty" section later in this document.) 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. See the "[7] Setting the soft start time" section later in this document. 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 (pins 10 and 11). See the "[2] Main characteristics" section earlier in this document for details on the RB vs. ISO(OUT) and RB vs. ISI(OUT) characteristics. 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 14.2 V. 11. CTL block This block controls the on/off state of each channel. See the "[9] Sequential operation" section later in this document.

[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 re-started by 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] Setting the maximum duty The maximum duty is set to 86% internally to the IC. However, this setting can be changed to be any value in the range 0% to 100% by adding an external resistor. 1. To use a duty lower than the current duty (80% to 92%) Insert the resistor RDT between the DT pin and ground. Determine the DT pin voltage for the required duty from the provided DT pin voltage vs. maximum on-duty characteristics in the "[2] Main characteristics" section and determine the value of the external resistor RDT from formula A. Note that there is a sample-to-sample variation of -19% to +33% due to temperature characteristics and sampleto-sample variations of the internal resistors R1 and R2. (However, the direction of the sample-to-sample variations is identical for R1 and R2.) Determine the size of the sample-to-sample variations in the DT pin voltage VDT from formula B, and estimate the size of the sample-to-sample variation in the duty from the provided DT pin voltage vs. maximum on-duty characteristics in the "[2] Main characteristics" section .

[8] Parallel synchronous operation of multiple ICs Multiple instances of this IC can be operated in parallel. If the OSC pins (pin 17) and OFF pins (pin 8) 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.

Figure 7. Synchronous parallel operation Notes on parallel operation: 1. The remote on/off state of each individual IC cannot be controlled independently. In this sort of circuit, always connect all the Off pins together, and control the on/off states of the multiple ICs at the same time. The reason for this is that if, for example, IC1 is solely turned on/off, the sawtooth wave will be stopped temporarily and the OSC pin held fixed at about 1.2 V. As a result the IC2 OUT1 to OUT3 pins will be forced temporarily to the full off-state and the DC-DC converter output voltage will fall. 2. All ICs are shut down when an output shorted state occurs. For example, if the IC1 output voltage falls, its output short-circuit protection circuit will operate, and the latch circuit will latch. When this happens, the IC1 output stops, and at the same time the sawtooth oscillator stops, and the OSC pin is held fixed at about 1.2 V. As a result, the IC2 OUT1 to OUT3 pins temporarily go to the full off-state, and the DC-DC converter output voltage will drop. Finally, the IC2 output short-circuit protection circuit will operate, and the latch will go to the latched state. This behavior will also occur if the IC2 output falls first.

[10] Notes on power supply printed circuit board design Careful attention must be paid to the following points when designing the printed circuit board layout to achieve low noise and high efficiency. 1. Use extremely wide lines for the ground lines, and isolate the IC ground from the power system ground. In particular, during light-load operation (when the on-duty is low) switching noise can enter the system at the lower limit of the sawtooth waveform causing the operating frequency to vary every period and resulting in unstable control. Take measures described as 1) and 2) below, and assure that switching noise does not appear on the sawtooth waveform. 1) Use a ground line separate from the power system ground for the capacitor and resistor connected to the OSC pin. 2) Lower the OSC pin impedance by either decreasing the value of the resistor RT or increasing the value of the capacitor CT. (See the figures below.) VIN

(2) Modify the values of the capacitor and resistor.

(1) Use separate lines.

2. Position input filter capacitors as close as possible to the VCC and ground pins. If switching noise cannot be suppressed even with exceptionally large capacitors, or if there are limitations on the size of capacitors that can be used, install an CR filter in the input to reduce switching noise. Problems may occur if switching noise enters the IC by any route. 3. Keep the length of the line between the OUT pin and the switching device as short as possible to provide a clean switching waveform to the switching device. 4. Use longer lines for the low-impedance side of the output voltage detection resistors.
