Over Current Protection
Current sense amplifiers sense the inductor DCR, and com-
pare with an internal OCP reference. As over current being
detected, the current sense amplifier will trip the peak
current limit on cycle-by-cycle basis. If the over current
condition sustains, and the output voltage drops below
75% of its nominal voltage level, the PWM will be disabled
and the power supply be latched off with short amount of
delay. The latch can be reset by power cycling.
Controller Power Dissipation
Controller power dissipation is generated by following
parameter; switching frequency, total gate charge of all
selected MOSFETs and supply voltage.
P = Vin * (ICC + QGT* FSW)
QGT = QG * N
Where
Vin : Supply voltage for controller and driving
MOSFET.
An example is shown below to demonstrate the
procedure introduced above.
Then
Vin =12V
Fsw =250KHz
N =4(number of MOSFET)
QGT = 108nC
QG = 27nC (per MOSFET)
Layout Guidelines
Power and signal traces must be kept separated for noise
considerations. Feedback, current sense traces and ana-
log ground should not cross any traces or planes carrying
high switching currents, such as in the input loop or the
phase node.
The input loop, consisting of the input capacitors and both
MOSFETs must be kept as small as possible. Since all of
the high switching currents occur in the input loop, the
enclosed loop area must be kept small to minimize induc-
tance and radiated and conducted noise emissions.
