3 Parameter Value Notes Efficiency 75% (min) at full load Load regulation 1% ½ full load to full load Switching frequency f=150khz ± 15% Design objective is to determine the value and rating of inductor L1, output capacitor Co, rectifier D1 and input capacitor Cin. Component Selections Refers to power_calculation_ip08.odt for detailed component calculation, especially in 3_3V_supply_2 and 5V_supply_2 tabs. A. Inductor L(min) The inductor currrent waveform in continuous mode operation (bold line) is as depicted at Drawing 2. r is defined as the ratio of the AC to DC components (current ripple ratio) evaluated at maximum load, Io : A high inductance reduces I and results in lower r (and lower RMS current in the output capacitor), but may result in a very large and impractical inductor. So typically, for most buck regulators, r is chosen to be in the range of (at the maximum rated load). Once the inductance is selected, as we decrease the load on the converter (keeping input voltage constant), I remains fixed but the DC level decreases and so the current ripple ratio increases. Ultimately, at the point of transition to discontinuous mode of operation, the DC level is I/2 as shown in Drawing 2. So The current ripple ratio at the point of transition to discontinuous mode is 2. Therefore, the upper limit for r is also 2. Drawing 2: Inductor Current Waveform

4 The load at which this happens can be shown by simple geometry to be r/2 times IO. So for example, if the inductance is chosen to be such that r is 0.3 at a load of 2A, the transition to discontinuous mode of operation will occur at 0.15 times 2A, which is 300 ma. The only degree of freedom is in selecting 'r', so all our equation will be written in terms of 'r'. Basic Method to Calculate L From the general rule V = L*dl/dt we get during the ON time of the converter: Solving for I we can write 'r' as: Duty cycle of buck regulator: And L is therefore : Another Method to Calculate L Based on VoltSeconds The ON time is : Voltseconds is: L (min) is: Where: D Vo Vd Vsw f = Duty cycle = voltage = Forward drop across the catch diode ( = 0.5V for Schottky Diode) = across the switch when it is ON (1.25V for AP1509), Internal switch saturation voltage = The switching frequency in Hz The required energy handling capability is next calculated. Every cycle, the peak current is:

5 The required energy handling capability, e is: Based on LM2596 design procedure [1,p.18], inductor value can be selected from Drawing 3. Inductor selection from Drawing 4 above fulfills inductor minimum requirements both for 3.3V and 5V.

Capacitor Co The output capacitor is required to filter the output and provide regulator loop stability. When selecting an output capacitor, the important capacitor parameters are; the 100kHz Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR), the RMS ripples current rating, voltage rating, and capacitance value. For the output capacitor, the ESR value is the most important parameter. Drawing 5: Capacitor parasitics All capacitors contain parasitic elements which make their performance less than ideal as figure below: The ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) causes internal heating due to power dissipation as the ripple current flows into and out of the capacitor. The capacitor

6 can fail if ripple current exceeds maximum ratings. Excessive output voltage ripple will result from high ESR, and regulator loop instability is also possible. ESR is highly dependent on temperature, increasing very quickly at temperatures below about 10 C. operate over a wide temperature range. In these cases, an aluminum electrolytic must be paralleled by another type of capacitor with a flatter ESR curve (like Tantalum or Film) so that the effective ESR (which is the parallel value of the two ESR's) stays within the allowable range. ESL: The ESL (Effective Series Inductance) limits the high frequency effectiveness of the capacitor. High ESL is the reason electrolytic capacitors need to be bypassed by film or ceramic capacitors to provide good high-frequency performance. The ESR, ESL and C within the capacitor form a resonant circuit, whose frequency of resonance should be as high as possible. Switching regulators generate ripple voltages on their outputs with very high frequency (>10 Mhz) components, which can cause ringing on the output voltage if the capacitor resonant frequency is low enough to be near these frequencies. 3.3V E S R O hm V oltage R ating V 5V E S R O hm V oltage R ating V Drawing 6: capacitor value selection B1. Analysis With L and Co selections above, we can calculate 'r' (ripple current) and then estimate 'Vr' (voltage ripple), as depicted at figure below.

7 C. Rectifier D1 The Rectifier D1 current rating must be greater than the peak switch current IPK. The reverse voltage rating of the output rectifier D1 should be at least 1.25 times the maximum input voltage. The output rectifier D1 must be fast (short reverse recovery time) and must be located close to the AP1509 using short leads and short printed circuit traces. Because of their fast switching speed and low forward voltage drop, Schottky diodes provide the best performance and efficiency, and should be the first choice, especially in low output voltage applications.
