CS51313GD16

Synchronous CPU Buck Controller Capable of Implementing Multiple Linear Regulators

Cherry semiconductor 

Application Information: continued

Duty Cycle = VOUT / VIN

0.27V / 3.54V = 7% ≈ 5.2%

When driving large capacitive loads, the COMP must

charge slowly enough to avoid tripping the CS51313 over-

current protection. The following equation can be used to

ensure unconditional startup:

ICHG

ILIM − ILOAD

<

CCOMP

COUT

where

ICHG = COMP Source Current (30µA typical);

CCOMP = COMP Capacitor value (0.1µF typical);

ILIM = Current Limit Threshold;

ILOAD = Load Current during startup;

COUT = Total Output Capacitance.

Figure 10: Pulse-by-Pulse Regulation during Soft Start (2µs/div).

Channel 1 - Regulator Output Voltage (0.2V/div)

Channel 2 – Inductor Switching Node (5V/div)

Channel 3 - VCC (10V/div)

Channel 4 - Regulator Input Voltage (5V/div)

If the voltage across the Current Sense resistor generates a

voltage difference between the VFB and VOUT pins that

exceeds the OVC Comparator Offset Voltage (86mV typi-

cal), the Fault latch is set. This causes the COMP pin to be

quickly discharged, turning off GATE(H) and the upper

NFET since the voltage on the COMP pin is now less than

the 1.1V PWM comparator offset. The Fault latch is reset

when the voltage on the COMP decreases below the

Discharge threshold voltage (0.25V typical). The COMP

capacitor will again begin to charge, and when it exceeds

the 1.1V PWM comparator offset, the regulator output will

Soft Start normally (see Figure 11).

Because the start-up circuitry depends on the current sense

function, a current sense resistor should always be used.

Normal Operation

During Normal operation, Switch Off-Time is constant and

set by the COFF capacitor. Switch On-Time is adjusted by

the V2TM Control loop to maintain regulation. This results in

changes in regulator switching frequency, duty cycle, and

output ripple in response to changes in load and line.

Output voltage ripple will be determined by inductor rip-

ple current and the ESR of the output capacitors

Transient Response

The CS51313 V2TM Control Loop’s 200ns reaction time pro-

vides unprecedented transient response to changes in

input voltage or output current. Pulse-by-pulse adjustment

of duty cycle is provided to quickly ramp the inductor cur-

rent to the required level. Since the inductor current cannot

be changed instantaneously, regulation is maintained by

the output capacitor(s) during the time required to slew the

inductor current.

Overall load transient response is further improved

through a feature called “Adaptive Voltage Positioning”.

This technique pre-positions the output voltage to reduce

total output voltage excursions during changes in load.

Holding tolerance to 1% allows the error amplifiers refer-

ence voltage to be targeted +25mV high without compro-

mising DC accuracy. A “Droop Resistor”, implemented

through a PC board trace, connects the Error Amps feed-

back pin (VFB) to the output capacitors and load and carries

the output current. With no load, there is no DC drop

across this resistor, producing an output voltage tracking

the Error amps, including the +25mV offset. When the full

load current is delivered, a 50mV drop is developed across

this resistor. This results in output voltage being offset -

25mV low.

The result of Adaptive Voltage Positioning is that addition-

al margin is provided for a load transient before reaching

the output voltage specification limits. When load current

suddenly increases from its minimum level, the output is

pre-positioned +25mV. Conversely, when load current

suddenly decreases from its maximum level, the output is

pre-positioned -25mV. For best Transient Response, a com-

bination of a number of high frequency and bulk output

capacitors are usually used.
