operation with an overload condition. Note that the inductor
current increases to over 15A during the CSS charging interval
and causes an over-current trip. The converter dissipates very
little power with this method. The measured input power for the
conditions of Figure 4 is 2.5W.
The over-current function will trip at a peak inductor current
(IPEAK) determined by:
IPEAK = I--O-----C----S----rE--D--T--S------O-R----NO-----C----S----E----T--
where IOCSET is the internal OCSET current source (200A -
typical). The OC trip point varies mainly due to the MOSFETs
rDS(ON) variations. To avoid over-current tripping in the normal
operating load range, find the ROCSET resistor from the
equation above with:
1. The maximum rDS(ON) at the highest junction temperature.
2. The minimum IOCSET from the specification table.

For an equation for the ripple current see the section under
component guidelines titled ‘Output Inductor Selection’.
A small ceramic capacitor should be placed in parallel with
ROCSET to smooth the voltage across ROCSET in the
presence of switching noise on the input voltage.
Application Guidelines
Layout Considerations
As in any high frequency switching converter, layout is very
important. Switching current from one power device to another
can generate voltage transients across the impedances of the
interconnecting bond wires and circuit traces. These
interconnecting impedances should be minimized by using
wide, short printed circuit traces. The critical components
should be located as close together as possible using ground
plane construction or single point grounding.

Figure 5 shows the critical power components of the converter.
To minimize the voltage overshoot the interconnecting wires
indicated by heavy lines should be part of ground or power
plane in a printed circuit board. The components shown in
Figure 6 should be located as close together as possible.
Please note that the capacitors CIN and CO each represent
numerous physical capacitors. Locate the HIP6006 within 3
inches of the MOSFETs, Q1 and Q2. The circuit traces for the
MOSFETs’ gate and source connections from the HIP6006
must be sized to handle up to 1A peak current.
Figure 6 shows the circuit traces that require additional layout
consideration. Use single point and ground plane construction
for the circuits shown. Minimize any leakage current paths on
the SS PIN and locate the capacitor, Css close to the SS pin
because the internal current source is only 10A. Provide local
VCC decoupling between VCC and GND pins. Locate the
capacitor, CBOOT as close as practical to the BOOT and
PHASE pins.

Feedback Compensation
Figure 7 highlights the voltage-mode control loop for a
synchronous-rectified buck converter. The output voltage
(Vout) is regulated to the Reference voltage level. The error
amplifier (Error Amp) output (VE/A) is compared with the
oscillator (OSC) triangular wave to provide a pulse-width
modulated (PWM) wave with an amplitude of VIN at the PHASE
node. The PWM wave is smoothed by the output filter (LO and
CO).
The modulator transfer function is the small-signal transfer
function of Vout/VE/A. This function is dominated by a DC Gain
and the output filter (LO and CO), with a double pole break
frequency at FLC and a zero at FESR. The DC Gain of the
modulator is simply the input voltage (VIN) divided by the peak-
to-peak oscillator voltage VOSC.
