Application note Monolithic power management for high definition ODD with true shutdown, reset, and programmable step-up voltage Introduction Blu-ray disc players have grown rapidly in popularity due to the increasing availability of digital services and high definition digital media content. This application note describes how to use STODDO, a complete power management for BIu-ray disc players, based on high density optical storage devices. It integrates two stepdown converters and one step-up. The step-down converters are optimized for powering Iow-voltage digital core, up to 0.8 A, in ODD applications and, generally, to replace a high current linear solution when the power dissipation may cause an overheating of the application environment. The step-up provides the needed voltage for supplying the blue laser in mobile applications where only 5 V is available. The output voltage is programmable, by using S-wire protocol, in the range of 6.5 V to 4 V, with a current capability of 0.7 A. Figure.

The enable function for the step-up section, and reset function for monitoring the input voltage, make the device particularly suitable for optical storage applications. The high switching frequency (. MHz typ.) allows the use of tiny surface-mounted components. Furthermore, a low output ripple is guaranteed by the current mode PWM topology and by the use of X7R or X5R and low ESR SMD ceramic capacitors. The device includes soft-start control, thermal shutdown, and peak current limit, to prevent damage due to accidental overload. January 0 Doc ID 863 Rev /3 www.st.com

Recommended PCB Iayout AN330 Recommended PCB Iayout Figure 3. Recommended PCB layout AM07857v. Layout considerations The layout is an important design step for all switching power supplies due to the high switching frequency and peak current. If the layout is not performed carefully, important parameters such as efficiency and output voltage ripple may be out of specification. Short, wide traces must be implemented for the main current and for power ground paths. The input capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the IO pins as well as the inductor and output capacitor. The feedback pin (FB) connection to the external resistor divider is a high impedance node, so interference can be minimized by placing the routing of the feedback node as far as possible from the high current paths. To reduce pick-up noise, the resistor divider must be placed very close to the device. A common ground node minimizes ground noise. The exposed pad of the package must be connected to the common ground node. 4/3 Doc ID 863 Rev
Recommended PCB Iayout. Programming the output voltage The output voltage for the step-up (ch) can be adjusted from 6.5 V up to 4 V by connecting a resistor divider between the V OUT and, the middle point of the divider must be connected to the FB pin, as shown in Figure. The resistor divider should be chosen according to the following equation: Equation where V FB is programmable, by using S-wire protocol, in the range of 0.8 V to.5 V (see Figure ). It is recommended to use a resistor with a value in the range of kω to 50 kω. Lower values may also be suitable, but increase current consumption. For ch the device integrates the resistor divider needed to set the correct output voltage (3.3 V). This allows to save external components. The FB pin must be connected directly to V OUT. The output voltage for ch3 can be adjusted from 0.8 V up to 94 % of the input voltage value by connecting a resistor divider between the V OUT3 and, the middle point of the divider must be connected to the FB3 pin, as shown in Figure. The resistor divider should be chosen according to the following equation: Equation R V = V OUT FB + R R V = V 3 OUT3 FB3 + R4 It is recommended to use a resistor with a value in the range of kω to 50 kω. Lower values may also be suitable, but increase current consumption. Doc ID 863 Rev 5/3

Test results 3. Inductor selection The inductor is the key passive component for switching converters. The inductor selection must take the boundary conditions in which the converter works into consideration; for the buck, the maximum input voltage, and for the boost, the minimum input voltage. The critical inductance values are then obtained according to the following formulas: for the step-down: Equation 3 L MIN = VOUT VIN ( V V ) IN _ MAX OUT FSW ΔIL _ MAX and for the step-up: Equation 4 LMIN = ( V V ) VIN _ MIN OUT IN _ MIN VOUT FSW ΔIL where: F SW : switching frequency. ΔI L = the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current. As a rule of thumb, the peak-to-peak ripple can be set at 0 % - 40 % of the output current for the step-down and can be set at 0 % - 40 % of the input current for the step-up. The peak current of the inductor must be calculated as: Equation 5 Equation 6 ( I 0.8) IPEAK STEP DOWN = OUT ( V V ) VOUT IN _ MAX OUT + VIN _ MAX FSW L ( V V ) V I V I OUT OUT IN _ MIN OUT IN _ MIN PEAK STEP UP = + V η IN _ MIN VOUT FSW L In addition to the inductance value, in order to avoid saturation, the maximum saturation current of the inductor must be higher than that of the I PEAK. 3.3 Input and output capacitor selection It is recommended to use ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectric and Iow ESR as input and output capacitors in order to filter any disturbance present in the input line and to obtain stable operation. The output capacitor is very important to satisfy the output voltage ripple requirement. Doc ID 863 Rev 9/3
Test results AN330 The output voltage ripple (V OUT_RIPPLE ) in continuous mode, for the step-down channel, must be calculated as: Equation 7 VOUT _RIPPLE = ΔIL ESR + 8 COUT FSW where: ΔI L is the ripple current and F SW is the switching frequency. The output voltage ripple (V OUT_RIPPLE ) in continuous mode, for the step-up channel, is: Equation 8 VOUT _ RIPPLE = IOUT ESR + ( V V ) OUT IN VOUT C OUT FSW where F SW is the switching frequency. The use of ceramic capacitors with voltage ratings in the range higher than.5 times the maximum input or output voltage is recommended. Figure 3. Inductor with high I SAT current Figure 4. Inductor with low I SAT current The inductors with low saturation current dramatically increase the inductor peak current value; as shown, using an inductor with low saturation current, the inductor current is higher than.4 A. With the LPS65-47MLB inductor (I SAT = 3 A) the peak current value is about A. 0/3 Doc ID 863 Rev
