ADJUSTABLE, WIDE INPUT RANGE PFM CONTROLLER

PRODUCTION DATA - JAN 27, 2012
Features
General Description
The highly flexible, easy to use PFM controller is ideal

for use in wide input range switching regulator applications. An advanced PFM control scheme gives these device the benefit of PWM converter with high efficiency
at heavy loads, while using very low operating current
at light loads to maintain an excellent behaviour over
output load variation.
The switching circuit is suitable for topologies requiring
low side FET, such as boost, flyback, Sepic, etc. Depending on the utilized topology the controller is capable of
producing regulated positive or negative output voltage. Operating from 3V to 60V supply and temperature
from -40C to +125C the device is well suited for automotive systems. Requiring a minimum number of external components, these regulator is simple to use and
cost saving. Self-protection features include an over
temperature shutdown under fault conditions and an
undervoltage lookout.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The E910.26 IC is a HV-CMOS switch mode power-supply controller that provide adjustable output voltages. It is
suitable for use in topologies requiring an external low side MOSFET, such as Boost, Flyback, Sepic or Cuk. Moreover the E910.26 IC can be operated over a very wide input supply range from 3V to 60V with only 40A standby
current.
All the power conducting components of the circuit are external to the E910.26. So the IC can accommodate a large
variety of inputs, outputs, and loads.
Their sophisticated control scheme combines the advantages of pulse-skipping pulse-frequency modulation (low
supply current) and current-mode pulse-width modulation (high efficiency with heavy loads), providing high efficiency over a wide input voltage and output current range, as well as increased output current capability over previous PFM controllers. It allows the device to achieve high efficiency over a wide range of loads, while the currentsense function and high operating frequency make it possible for the use of tiny external components. The external
sense resistor and power transistor permits the user to tailor the output current capability for each application.
7.2 Internal Low Drop Regulator

The E910.26 use an internal 5V low-drop regulator for logic and driver power in the IC. This supply is provided at pin
VSM for bypassing and compensation with an external parallel combination of 4.7F and 100nF capacitors to AGND.
Connect these capacitors very close to the controller. After VVSM is settled the controller work within specification.
A voltage of lower than 3V at pin VSM take the controller in under-voltage-lockout state. The normal operating stops
and the MDRV pin shunts the external gate of the MOSFET to PGND. To avoid a floating power MOSFET gate at very
low VSM voltages an integrated 100kOhm resistor shunts MDRV to PGND.
7.3 Controller Operation

The external power MOSFET is turned on when the voltage comparator at pin VFB senses that the output of the
supply is out of regulation. Switch off time is accomplished through the combination of a peak current limit and
an internal pair of monostable multivibrators that set the maximum switch on time (typically 17s) and minimum
switch off-time (typically 2.3s). Once off, the minimum off-time multivibrator holds the external MOSFET off
for 2.3s. After this minimum time, the MOSFET either stays off if the output is in regulation, or turns on again if
the output is out of regulation. To avoid a quasianalogue operation of the external MOSFET by means of to small
gate-pulses and destruction through overheating an internal circuit limits the minimum gate pulse width to typical 500ns.
The controller limit the peak switch current and therefore the inductor current, which permits them to run in continuous-conduction mode and maintain high efficiency with heavy loads.
When delivering high output currents, the controllers operate in continuous-conduction mode (CCM). In this
mode, current always flows in the inductor, and the control circuit adjust the switch duty cycle to maintain regulation without exceeding the switch current capability. This provides excellent load-transient response and high
efficiency. In discontinuous-conduction mode (DCM), current through the inductor starts at zero, rises to a peak
value, then ramps down to zero. Although efficiency is still excellent, the output ripple increases slightly, and the

switch waveform exhibit ringing (the self-resonant frequency of the inductor circuit). This ringing is to be expected
and poses no operational problems.
The E910.26 switching frequency is variable, depending on load current and input voltage, causing variable switching noise. However, the sub harmonic noise generated does not exceed the peak current limit times the output
filter capacitor equivalent series resistance (ESR).
7.4 Applications Information

Due to the high switching frequency up to 300kHz and the large magnetic flux swing use inductors with a low loss
ferrite core or equivalent materials. To minimize radiated noise use shielded coils. Coils with very low DC resistance
are preferable for highest efficiency. Make sure the inductors saturation current ratings exceed the circuits worst
case peak current by a minimum of 20% over the full temperature range. Never drive the cores into saturation. Under saturation conditions current flow is limited only by the inductors DC copper resistance and the source capacity. This is why saturation often results in destructive failures.
When selecting the external power MOSFET, an important parameter for the controller is the MOSFET total gate
charge. The switching frequency and the total gate charge determine the current to be supplied by the internal
VSM regulator. Depending on the value of input voltage, excessive chip power can trigger the over temperature
protection and turn off the controller. For maximum input voltage and ambient temperature a typical total gate
charge of less than 30nC is recommend. Use a series resistor for gate connection of the power MOSFET to avoid
HF oscillations due to the source and wiring inductance. Find a compromise between low EMI and high system efficiency.
As in any switching regulator, PCB layout is very important. Rapidly switching currents associated with wiring inductance can generate voltage transients, which can cause regulation and EMI problems. For minimal inductance
and ground loops, the heavy current wires should be wide printed circuits traces and should be kept as short as
possible. Begin the layout with the location of the power devices. Keep high current connections on one side of the
PCB if possible. If not, minimize the use of vias and keep current density in the vias to < 500mA/via. After achieving
a satisfactory power path layout, proceed with the control circuitry layout. For best results, external components
should be located as close to the controller as possible using ground plane construction or single point grounding.
Special care must be taken to the location and positioning of the feedback resistors and the associated wiring and
the placement of AGND and PGND connection. The VFB pin is very sensitive to pickup from the switching node.
Isolate this pin from capacitive coupling. Physically locate both feedback resistors near the controller, and route the
wiring away from the magnetic parts. Depending on the layout and output power a RC low-pass to the ISEN pin
can be necessary. Minimize the length of the gate lead connections.

Figure 4: Step-Up Converter
Figure 4 shows the basic circuit for a step-up (boost) switching regulator. The output voltage must be greater or
equal than the input voltage. The circuit has low ripple current in the input circuit due to the presence of L1 and
high efficiency.
M1 is used to alternately apply the input voltage across inductor L1. During the time tON, M1 is switched on and
energy is supplied from the input voltage VINP and stored in L1. D1 is reverse biased and the output current is supplied from the charge stored in C2. When M1 opens tOFF , voltage at drain from M1 will rise positively to the point
where D1 turns on. The output current is now supplied through L1 and D1 to the load and any charge lost from C1
during tON is replenished.
The current through L1 can be CCM (Continuous Conduction Mode) or DCM (Discontinuous Conduction Mode) depending on the dimensions of the external components and value of the output current. For a large input to output
voltage difference a tapped inductor adjusts the duty cycle to a useful range.
The switch M1, diode D1, and output capacitor C2 must be specified to handle the peak currents as well as average
currents. For diode D1 a type with very low reverse recovery time is necessary. Use a low forward drop type like a
Schottky to improve the efficiency.
The converter is open load stable. With this basic circuit topology there is no output short circuit protection possible. The converter also shows a high inrush current due to the direct connection of C2 and the load via D1 and L1
to the input. In off mode, the load current and the current through the feedback divider R2, R3 add to the stand-by
current of the controller.

Figure 5: Flyback Converter
In the triple output flyback regulator shown in figure 5, energy is stored in inductor L1 (with secondary windings)
during the on-time of transistor M1. When M1 is switched off, the voltage across L1 reverses as the inductor transfers the stored energy to the smoothing capacitors and to the loads. Due to the use of secondary windings positive,
negative and isolated output voltages are possible. All output voltages track very well. Note that the wound component is an inductor with secondary windings, combining the functions of both an inductor and a transformer.
An inductor is an energy storage device, and as such requires an air gap in the magnetic path.
The flyback converter is able to buck and boost the input voltage. The converter can be open and short stable. DCM
or CCM inductor currents depend of dimension of the whole circuit and the input voltage value and output loads.
Both input ripple current and output ripple current are high in a flyback regulator, but this disadvantage is more
than offset in many cases by the ability to achieve current or voltage gain and the inherent isolation afforded by
the transformer. The snubber network D1, C5 and R4 clamps the voltage peak created by leakage inductance of L1.
For diode D1 a fast type with very low reverse recovery time is necessary.

Figure 6: Cuk Converter
The basic Cuk regulator (named after Slobodan Cuk, a professor at Cal Tech) in figure 6 is derived from the boost
and buck regulators, combing the characteristic low input current ripple of the boost regulator with the low output current ripple of the buck regulator. The output voltage may be greater than, or less than, the input voltage
and the output polarity is opposite the input voltage polarity. This results in an inverting buck-boost topology.
This converter operates via capacitive energy transfer. During the on time of M1, inductor current IL1 builds up. Simultaneously, capacitor C1 discharges round the loop C1, M1, C2 in parallel with the load, L2 and charging C2 in
the opposite polarity to the input voltage. When M1 is switched off, inductor current IL1 flows through C1 and the
diode D1, recharging C1. Simultaneously, inductor L2 maintains current round the loop L2, diode D1, C2 in parallel
with the output load.
This circuit has very low output current ripple due to the presence of L2 in the output circuit, similar to the buck
regulator. It also has very low ripple current in the input circuit due to the presence of L1, similar to the boost regulator. Coupling the input and output inductors on a single core can achieve a more efficient and compact design
for the same power throughput. In addition, the input and output ripple currents are considerably reduced. The
switch M1 must handle the sum of input and output current. A disadvantage of the Cuk regulator is that the series
capacitor C1 is the main energy storage / transfer component, instead of an inductor as in most other circuits. This
capacitor, therefore, has to be relatively large, and capable of handling high r.m.s. currents, so a low ESR is essential.
The bipolar current mirror converts with resistors R2 and R3 the negative output voltage to a positive one required
for feedback input of the E910.25. The Cuk converter and its associated applications are protected by a series of
patents, and its use in commercial designs may require a license agreement by its inventor.

The single-ended primary inductance converter was developed at AT&T Bell laboratories in the mid 1970s. The
intent of the developers was to create a new topology with properties not available in contemporary topologies.
Figure 7 shows a typical high efficiency Sepic converter circuit. An important feature is the ability to buck or boost
the input voltage with good transient response and without inverting voltage polarity. The regulator can handle
large signal input-tooutput voltage ratio with high efficiency. The converter has low ripple current in the input circuit due to the presence of L1; therefore reducing EMI at the input.
This circuit has three dynamic energy storage elements, L1, L2 and C1. L1 and L2 may be integrated into a single
magnetic structure with only one magnetic path. This coupled inductor version has several advantages. The leakage inductance of the coupled inductor can be arranged to effect near zero current ripple on the input with finite
value of L. Because the turns ratio between the windings is 1:1, there cannot be two different values for L1 and
L2. Because they are wound on a common core, both windings are either conducting or not depending on whether
there is energy in the core or not.
A disadvantage of the Sepic regulator (like the Cuk converter) is that the series capacitor C1 is the main energy storage / transfer component, instead of an inductor as in most other circuits. This capacitor, therefore, has to be relatively large, and capable of handling high r.m.s. currents, so a low ESR is essential. The switch M1 must handle the
sum of input and output current. Switching diode D1 must have a very low reverse recovery time and soft recovery
behaviour for low loss and EMI. Also a short turnon time to clamp the voltage spike at drain of M1 is important. If
possible, use a Schottky rectifier. The regulator operates either CCM or DCM depending on the dimension, input
voltage and load. Output load is protected in case of switch or diode fault.
