MP540.MHz, 8 STEP-UP CONERTER P FUNCTIONS Pin # Name Pin Function SW Power Switch Output. SW is the drain of the internal MOSFET switch. Connect the power inductor and output rectifier to SW. SW can swing between GND and 0. GND Ground. FB Feedback Input. FB voltage is.5. Connect a resistor divider to FB. 4 EN Regulator On/Off Control Input. A high input at EN turns on the converter, and a low input turns it off. When not used, connect EN to the input source for automatic startup. The EN pin cannot be left floating. 5 Input Supply Pin. Must be locally bypassed. OPERATION The MP540 uses a fixed frequency, peak current mode boost regulator architecture to regulate voltage at the feedback pin. The operation of the MP540 can be understood by referring to the block diagram of Figure. At the start of each oscillator cycle the MOSFET is turned on through the control circuitry. To prevent sub-harmonic oscillations at duty cycles greater than 50 percent, a stabilizing ramp is added to the output of the current sense amplifier and the result is fed into the negative input of the PWM comparator. When this voltage equals the output voltage of the error amplifier the power MOSFET is turned off. The voltage at the output of the error amplifier is an amplified version of the difference between the.5 bandgap reference voltage and the feedback voltage. In this way the peak current level keeps the output in regulation. If the feedback voltage starts to drop, the output of the error amplifier increases. This results in more current to flow through the power MOSFET, thus increasing the power delivered to the output. The MP540 has internal soft start to limit the amount of input current at startup and to also limit the amount of overshoot on the output. The current limit is increased by a fourth every 40µs giving a total soft start time of 0µs.

MP540.MHz, 8 STEP-UP CONERTER APPLICATIONS FORMATION COMPONENT SELECTION Setting the Output oltage Set the output voltage by selecting the resistive voltage divider ratio. Use.8kΩ for the lowside resistor R of the voltage divider. Determine the high-side resistor R by the equation: R R ( - ) Where is the output voltage and FB is the feedback voltage. For R.8kΩ and FB.5, then R (kω) 9.44kΩ (.5). Selecting the Input Capacitor An input capacitor is required to supply the AC ripple current to the inductor, while limiting noise at the input source. This capacitor must have low ESR, so ceramic is the best choice. Use an input capacitor value of 4.7µF or greater. This capacitor must be placed physically close to the pin. Since it reduces the voltage ripple seen at, it also reduces the amount of EMI passed back along that line to the other circuitry. Selecting the Output Capacitor A single 4.7µF to 0µF ceramic capacitor usually provides sufficient output capacitance for most applications. If larger amounts of capacitance are desired for improved line support and transient response, tantalum capacitors can be used in parallel with the ceramic. The impedance of the ceramic capacitor at the switching frequency is dominated by the capacitance, and so the output voltage ripple is mostly independent of the ESR. The output voltage ripple RIPPLE is calculated as: RIPPLE I LOAD FB FB ( ) C f SW Selecting the Inductor The inductor is required to force the output voltage higher while being driven by the lower input voltage. Choose an inductor that does not saturate at the SW current limit. A good rule for determining the inductance is to allow the peakto-peak ripple current to be approximately 0%- 50% of the maximum input current. Make sure that the peak inductor current is below 75% of the typical current limit at the duty cycle used to prevent loss of regulation due to the current limit variation. Calculate the required inductance value L using the equations: I L (MAX) I ( f - ) I SW I LOAD(MAX) η ( 0% 50% ) I (MAX ) Where I LOAD(MAX) is the maximum load current, I is the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current and η is efficiency. For the MP540, 4.7µH is recommended for input voltages less than. and 0µH for inputs greater than.. Selecting the Diode The output rectifier diode supplies current to the inductor when the internal MOSFET is off. To reduce losses due to diode forward voltage and recovery time, use a Schottky diode. Choose a diode whose maximum reverse voltage rating is greater than the maximum output voltage. It is recommended to choose the MBR050 for most applications. This diode is used for load currents less than 500mA. If the average current is more than 500mA the Microsemi UPS587 is a good choice. Where is the input voltage, I LOAD is the load current, C is the capacitance of the output capacitor, and f SW is the.mhz switching frequency.

MP540.MHz, 8 STEP-UP CONERTER Compensation The MP540 uses an amplifier to compensate the feedback loop rather than a traditional transconductance amplifier like most current mode regulators. Frequency compensation is provided by an internal resistor and capacitor along with an external resistor. The system uses two poles and one zero to stabilize the control loop. The poles are f P set by the output capacitor and load resistance, and f P set by the internal compensation capacitor, the gain of the error amplifier and the resistance seen looking out at the feedback node R EQ. The zero f Z is set internally around 0KHz. These are determined by the equations: f P f P π C R π LOAD 9 ( 7.9 0 ) REQ f Z 0KHz Where R LOAD is the load resistance and R EQ is: (R R) R EQ R (R R) Where R, R, and R are seen in Figure. The DC loop gain is: A DC 500 R LOAD There is also a right-half-plane zero (f RHPZ ) that exists in all continuous mode (inductor current does not drop to zero on each cycle) step up converters. The frequency of the right half plane zero is: f RHPZ R π L LOAD FB To stabilize the regulation control loop, the crossover frequency (the frequency where the loop gain drops to 0dB or a gain of, indicated as f C ) should be at least one decade below the right-half-plane zero and should be at most 75KHz. f RHPZ is at its lowest frequency at maximum output load current (R LOAD is at a minimum) and minimum input voltage. For the MP540 it is recommended that a 47kΩ to 00kΩ resistor be placed in series with the FB pin and the resistor divider as seen in Figure. For most applications this is all that is needed for stable operation. If greater phase margin is needed a series resistor and capacitor can be placed in parallel with the high-side resistor R as seen in Figure. The pole and zero set by the lead-lag compensation network are: f P π C R4 π C R f Z R ( R R4) R Layout Considerations High frequency switching regulators require very careful layout for stable operation and low noise. All components must be placed as close to the IC as possible. Keep the path between L, D, and C extremely short for minimal noise and ringing. C must be placed close to the pin for best decoupling. All feedback components must be kept close to the FB pin to prevent noise injection on the FB pin trace. The ground return of C and C should be tied close to the GND pin.
