The IRU3072 controller IC is designed to provide a lowcost synchronous Buck regulator for on-board DC to DCconverter as well as three linear regulator controllers. Itis specially designed for multiple output applications.The outputs can be programmed as low as 0.8V.

The IRU3072 provides two separate soft-starts. It notonly allows different output power sequences, but alsoallows shutdown of LDO and PWM output regulatorsindividually.

The IRU3072 provides cycle-by-cycle current limit andoutput feedback under-voltage lockout.

Power Sequence and Under-Voltage LockoutFor correct operation, proper power sequence should beensured. Typically, there are four or five input voltagesinvolved.

The power sequence should be proper such that soft-start capacitors (for both LDO and PWM) start to belinearly charged up right after the above five voltages enterinto steady state, as shown in the following figure.

Figure 4 - Desired power sequence.

Vcc: IC biasing voltage.VSEN33: LDO Input voltage, for example 3.3VVccLDO: Input biasing voltage for IRU3072 internalLDO controller.VBUS: Input voltage for synchronous buck converter.Vc: Input biasing voltage for IRU3072 internal highside MOSFET drivers.

VBUS = Vcc = 5VVc = VccLDO created by charge pumpVSEN33 = 3.3V

APPLICATION INFORMATIONThe IRU3072 senses four voltages with under-voltagelockout (UVLO) block. The voltages Vcc, Vc and VccLDOare sensed through the UVLO block. The LDO input volt-age can be sensed through pin VSEN33. Although syn-chronous bus voltage (VBUS) is not sensed, in practical,it can be sensed indirectly. Typically, only two or threeinput voltages are available. Some of the five input volt-ages have to either share or be generated by anothermethod such as charge pump. One example of IRU3072application with only two input voltages, 5V and 3.3V, isshown in figure 5. In this example:

The IRU3072 will sense all four voltages to ensure allthese voltages enter into steady state before the soft-start capacitor is charged up. The operation waveformsare shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6 - Power sequence.

If there are three input voltage sources available, suchas 3.3V, 5V and 12V, the possible connections to en-sure proper operation are shown in the following table.

Table: Possible combination of input voltage sourceconnections to ensure proper start-up operation.

(CP refers to Charge Pump)

There are many possible combinations of input voltagesource connections and the table above lists only a fewof them. Most importantly for a proper power sequence,the soft-start capacitor has to be charged up after all theinput voltage sources are established.

Soft-StartOne of the useful features of IRU3072 is that it allowsdifferent start-up times for PWM output and LDO outputby programming two separate soft-start capacitors. Fig-ure 7 just shows the soft-start for PWM section.

The soft-start operation can ensure the output voltageramps up to the regulated voltage without surge of thecurrent. The IRU3072 also has an output feedback UVLOblock, which will turn off both high side and low sideMOSFET driver when the voltage at pin Fb1,Fb2,Fb3 orFb4 is below 0.4V. The feedback UVLO is used to pro-tect the system when the output is in short circuit. How-ever, during the power on of the buck converter, the out-put of buck converter starts from zero and the voltage atpin Fb1 will be below 0.4V. The feedback UVLO shouldbe disabled when soft-start capacitor voltage ramps upand down. This is achieved by injecting a current intothe Fb1 pin (also Fb2, Fb3 and Fb4) during the soft-startand the magnitude of this current is inversely propor-tional to the voltage at soft-start pin (SS or SSLDO). Thediagram is shown in Figure 7 and operation waveformsare shown in Figure 8. The operation principle is asfollows:

Initially, the buck converter’s output voltage and the volt-age at pin Fb1 are both zero. The voltage at soft-start pin“SS” is almost zero and about 64µA current will inject tothe pin of Fb1 through a 25KΩ internal resistor. Thevoltage at the negative input of Error Amplifier and thepositive input of the feedback UVLO comparator is ap-proximately:

32µA×25KΩ = 0.8V

Figure 8 - Theoretical operation waveformsduring soft-start.

When the power voltage such as Vcc go into steadystate and the output of voltage UVLO “POR” goes high,a 20uA current source charges the external soft-startcapacitors. The soft-start voltage ramps up. In the meantime, the current flowing into pin Fb1 starts to decreaselinearly and so does the voltage at the positive pin offeedback UVLO comparator and the voltage at the nega-tive input of Error amplifier. When the soft-start capacitorvoltage is around 1V, the current flowing into the Fb1 pinis approximately 32µA. The voltage at the positive inputof the Error amplifier is approximately:

The Error Amplifier will start to operate and the outputvoltage starts to increase. As the soft-start capacitorvoltage continues to go up, the current flowing into theFb1 pin will keep decreasing. Because the voltage at pinof Error Amplier is regulated to reference voltage 0.8V,the voltage at the Fb1 pin is:

The feedback voltage increases linearly as the injectingcurrent goes down. The injecting current drops to zerowhen soft-start voltage is around 2V and the output volt-age goes into steady state.

Figure 8 shows that the voltage at the positive pin offeedback UVLO comparator is always higher than 0.4V,therefore, feedback UVLO is not functional during soft-start.

For PWM: CSS = 0.1µF, tSTART ≅ 5msFor LDOs: CSSLDO = 33nF, tSTART ≅ 2ms

VFB1 = 0.8V-25KΩ×(Injecting Current)

20µA×tSTART/CSS ≅ 2V-1V

CSS ≅ 20µA×tSTART/1V ---(1)

From the above analysis, the output start up time is theperiod when soft-start capacitor voltage increases from1V to 2V. The start up time will be dependent on the sizeof the external soft-start capacitor. The start up time canbe estimated by:

For a given start up time, the soft-start capacitor can beestimated as:

For 5ms start up time, a 0.1µF soft-start capacitor isrequired. In practice, the 20µA current will slightly de-crease as the soft-start voltage goes up. Therefore, for a0.1µF soft-start capacitor, start up time may be slightlylonger, e.g. 6ms.

The soft-start waveforms are shown in Figure 9. In thisfigure, the start up time for the buck converter VOUT1 andLDOs is different by selecting separate soft-start capaci-tors.

Figure 10 - Shutdown PWM or LDO bycontrolling soft-start.

One issue related to shutdown of PWM output by pull-ing down the soft-start, there is a small negative voltageshown in the output during the shutdown. It is becausethe low side MOSFET driver is on when the soft-startcapacitor voltage is pulling down. The output inductorresonates with output capacitor and load. This occursespecially often when output current is small (light loador no load condition). The operation waveforms are shownas follows.

Both PWM output and LDO output can be shutdown bypulling the pin VSEN33/SDB down. One example is shownas follows.

The LDO and PWM output can be shutdown by using atransistor to pull down the pin VSEN33/SDB as shown inFigure 12. Because the VSEN33/SDB pin also senses theLDO input voltage for the power UVLO block, a high im-pedance resistor such as 4.7K has to be inserted be-tween VSEN33/SDB pin and the input of LDO such as 3.3V.The input voltage UVLO operation will not be affecteddue to the high input impedance nature of VSEN33/SDBpin. The operation waveforms is shown as follows:

Figure 13 - Shutdown by pulling down pin VSEN33/SDB.

One feature of shutdown by pulling down VSEN33/SDB isthat there is no negative voltage shown in the buck con-verter output because both high side and low sideMOSFET drivers are off after shutdown.

Over Current ProtectionThe IRU3072 over current protection is achieved with acycle-by-cycle current limit and an output voltage under-voltage lockout scheme. The diagram is shown in Figure14. It includes an over current comparator and an outputvoltage UVLO comparator. The current is sensed throughthe RDS(ON) of the low side MOSFET. A resistor, RSET, isconnected from OCSet pin to the drain of the low sideMOSFET in order to set the over-current limit. When thelow side MOSFET Q2 is ON, the inductor current flowsthrough MOSFET Q2. The voltage at OCSet pin is givenas:

When voltage VOCSet is below zero, the current sensingcomparator flips and disables the oscillator. The highside MOSFET is turned off and the low side MOSFET ison until the inductor currents reduces to below currentsetting value. The critical inductor current can be calcu-lated by setting:

VOCSet =20µA×RSET-iL×RDS(ON)

VOCSet = 20µA×RSET-iL×RDS(ON) = 0ISET = iL(critical) = 20µA×RSET/RDS(ON) ---(2)

tON(normal) ≅ D×TS(NOM) = VOUT/(FS(NOM)×VIN)

The operation is illustrated in Figure 15.

During the normal operation mode, the synchronous buckconverter operates in fixed frequency FS(NOM), which isthe normal operation switching frequency and it is deter-mined by the external resistor Rt. The output voltage isregulated to the desired voltage and the feedback volt-age is equal to the reference voltage VREF. The turn ontime of the high side MOSFET is given as:

As the load current goes up, the inductor current in-creases and the high side MOSFET’s turn on time in-creases a little due to the voltage drop across the highside MOSFET RDS(ON).

As the output current increases to limit current, IL=IO(LIM),which is set by the resistor RSET. The buck converter willgo into cycle-by-cycle current limit mode. The operationwaveforms of IRU3072 during cycle-by-cycle currentmode is shown in Figure 16.

(a) Normal operation.

(b). Operation at current limit mode.

Figure 16 - Cycle-by-Cycle operation when IRU3072is in over-current limit mode.

ISET = iL(VALLEY)

IOUT = iL(AVG)=iL(VALLEY)+∆IPK_PK/2

From Figure 16, first, the high side MOSFET is on for tON

period and the inductor current increases during this time.Then, the high side MOSFET is off and low side MOSFETis on. Because the inductor current is higher than thecritical inductor current ISET, the current sensing com-parator goes high and the low side MOSFET keeps on.The inductor current is discharged by the output voltage.When the inductor current is below setting current orcritical current ISET, the current sensing comparator goeslow and enables the oscillator. The high side MOSFETis turned on again and next cycle starts. The operationfrequency is only dependent on the current sensing com-parator and the internal clock frequency is modified bycurrent limit.

In conclusion, from Figures 15 and 16, two big differ-ences exist between normal operation and current limitmode. First, during current limit mode, the valley induc-tor current is determined by ISET .

Second, in Figures 15 and 16, the frequency in currentlimit mode, is lower than normal operation frequency.

In general, the output current is represented by:

Where ∆IPK_PK is the peak to peak inductor currentripple which is given by:

Figure 15 shows that the operation frequency of the buckconverter decreases as output current goes up duringcurrent limit mode. The on time of high side MOSFET iscontrolled by the output voltage loop so that the voltageat Fb pin, still equals the reference voltage, VFB=VREF.The output voltage is regulated to the desired voltage.

As a result:

Where VO(NOM) is the nominal output voltage and it isdetermined by the feedback resistor and reference volt-age as shown in Figure 14. The above equation indi-cates that the operation frequency is inversely propor-tional to the output current during the current limit mode.For practical application, the most important is settingup the over current limit threshold. From Figure 15, atthe current limit threshold IO(LIM), the frequency is stillequal to nominal operation frequency.

The output UVLO senses the four feedback pin voltagesFb1,Fb2,Fb3,Fb4. If any of the feedback voltages arebelow 0.4V, all four outputs will be shutdown.

Figure 18 (a) shows normal operation waveforms for a12V input 1.6V output 400KHz buck regulator. Duringnormal operation, the switching frequency is 400KHz.Figure 18 (b) shows the operation waveforms during cur-rent limit mode. The switching frequency is reduced andoutput ripple increases. Figure 19 shows the profile ofswitching frequency versus output current. When theoutput current goes up and hit the over current limit, theswitching frequency starts to decreases. Due to the out-put voltage loop, the output voltage will keep the regula-tion except the ripple increases. As the output currentkeeps going up. The output voltage will start to decreaseuntil the feedback voltage Fb is under 0.4V. The outputvoltage under lockout takes over and turns off both highside and low side MOSFET. The output voltage reducesto zero.

Output Feedback UVLOBesides the cycle-by-cycle current limit, an output feed-back UVLO is included in the IRU3072 for the outputshort protection. The diagram is shown in Figure 14. Ifthe output is short or overload, once the voltage at theFb1 pin is below 0.4V, the output feedback UVLO com-parator will flip and turn off both high side and low sideMOSFETs. The output of converter will decrease to zero.The operation when PWM output is in short circuit con-dition is shown in Figure 20. If either PWM or LDO out-put is in short condition, it will turn off all outputs. Theoperation waveforms are shown in Figures 21 and 22.Figure 23 shows a soft-start operation when the outputis short. Because of current limit and output feedbackUVLO, the output will be turned off and the system pro-tected.

Output inductor selectionThe inductor is selected based on the inductor currentripple, operation frequency and efficiency consideration.In general, a large inductor results in a small output rippleand higher efficiency but large size. A small value induc-tor causes large current ripple and poor efficiency butsmall size. Generally, the inductor is selected based onthe output current ripple. The optimum point is usuallyfound between 20% and 50% ripple of output inductorcurrent.

Suppose the ripple is selected as 40% of the total out-put current.

The current ripple is calculated as:

Combining of above two equations, the inductance canbe selected by:

In this example,

Select inductor from Panasonic so that L=1µH. The ripplecurrent is calculated as:

orESR < ∆VSTEPLOAD(SPEC)/∆ISTEPLOAD(MAX)

Output capacitor selectionThe voltage rating of the output capacitor is the same asthe output voltage. Typical available capacitors on themarket are electrolytic, tantalum and ceramic. If electro-lytic or tantalum capacitors are employed, the criteria isnormally based on the value of Effective Series Resis-tance (ESR) of total output capacitor. In most cases,the ESR of the output capacitor is calculated based onthe following relationship:

Depending on which one is the requirement.

In this example:

The required ESR is calculated as:

Select three Sanyo POSCAP 6TPB330M with 6.3V330µF and 40mΩ ESR will give about 13mΩ, which willmeet the specification.

Input capacitor SelectionInput capacitor is dertermined by the voltage rating andinput RMS current. For this application, the input RMScurrent is given as:

The input RMS current is estimated as:

Select two Sanyo POSCAP -16TPB47M with 16V, 47µFand 1.4A ripple current. A 1µH, 1A small input inductoris enough for the input filer.

Power MOSFET SelectionIn general, the MOSFET selection criteria depends onthe maximum drain-source voltage, RMS current andON resistance (RDS(ON)). For both high side and low sideMOSFETs, a drain-source voltage rating higher thanmaximum input voltage is necessary. In the demo-board,20V rating should be satisfied. The gate drive require-

Where:∆VRIPPLE(SPEC) is the maximum allowed voltage ripple.∆IPK_PK is the current ripple.∆VSTEPLOAD(SPEC) is the maximum allowed voltagedroop during the transient or step load.∆ISTEPLOAD(MAX) is the maximum step load current.

ment for each MOSFET is almost the same. If logic-level or 3V driver MOSFET is used, some caution shouldbe taken with devices at very low VGS to prevent undes-ired turn-on of the complementary MOSFET, which re-sults a shoot-through circuit.

If output inductor current ripple is neglected, the RMScurrent of high side switch is given by:

The RMS current of low side switch is given as:

For low side MOSFET, if it is driven by 5V, a logic gatedriver MOSFET is preferred. For RDS(ON) of the MOSFET,it should be as small as possible in order to get highestefficiency. A logic driver MOSFET such as IRF7460 fromInternational Rectifier in a SOIC 8-pin package,RDS(ON)=10mΩ, 20V drain source voltage rating and 12AIDS is selected for high side and low side MOSFET.

Power Dissipation for MOSFETsThe power dissipation for MOSFETS typically includesconduction loss and switching losses. For high sideswitch, the conduction loss is estimated as:

The RDS(ON) has to consider the worst case. In thedatasheet of IRF7460:

The switching loss is more difficult to calculate becauseof the parasitic parameters. In general, the switchingloss can be estimated by the following:

tr is the rising time and tf is the falling time. From IRU3072datasheet: tr=50ns and tf=50ns

The total disspation for the high side switch is:

For low side switch, most of the loss are conductionloss. The low side switch power dissipation is:

LDO Regulator Component Selectionand LDO Power MOSFET SelectionThe first step in selecting the power MOSFET for thelinear regulator is to select its maximum RDS(ON) basedon the input to output dropout voltage and maximumload current.

For VOUT2=2.5V, VIN(LDO)=3.3V and IOUT2=2A:

Note that the MOSFET’s RDS(ON) increases with tem-perature, the calculated RDS(ON) has to be divided by theRDS(ON) temperature coefficienct (about 1.5) in order toget typical RDS(ON).

IRLR2703s from Internation Rectifier with D2 package,30V, VDS logic drive and 65mΩ is good enough to meetthe requirement.

To select the heat sink for the LDO MOSFET, the firststep is to calculate the maximum power dissipation ofthe device:

The junction temperature of MOSFET can be estimatedby the following formula:

Cc2 ≅ 1/(π×Rc1×FS) ≅ 220pF

VOUT = VREF×(RT+RB)/RB

orRT = (VOUT/VREF-1)×RB

RDS(ON)MAX = (VIN(LDO)-VOUT2)/IOUT2

RDS(ON)MAX = (3.3V-2.5V)/2.0A = 0.4Ω

PD = (VIN(LDO)-VOUT)×IOUT

PD = (3.3V-2.5V)×2A = 1.4W

RθSA<(TJ-TA)/PD-RθJC-RθCS

TJ=TA+PD×RθJA

TA = 358CTJ = 35+1.5W×508C/W = 1108C < 1508C

VCC(LDO) > VLDO(OUT)MAX+VGS(TH)MIN+2VBE

Where:VLDO(OUT)MAX is the maximum output voltageVGS(TH)MIN is the minimum LDO MOSFET gate thresh-old voltageVBE is the diode drop, approximately 0.6V

VCC(LDO) > 2.5V+1V+2×0.6V = 4.7VSelect VCCLDO=12V for proper power sequence

Where:VREF=0.8VRT is the top feedback resistor and RB is bottomfeedback resistor.

VOUT = VREF×(RT+RB)/RB

RT = (VOUT/VREF-1)×RB = (2.5/0.8-1)×1K = 2.12K

CSS(LDO) = 20µA×tSTART = 20µA×2ms = 0.04µFSelect C12=CSS(LDO)=33nF

Layout ConsiderationThe layout is very important when designing high fre-quency switching converters. Layout will affect noisepickup and can cause a good design to perform withless than expected results.

Start to place the power components, make all the con-nection in the top layer with wide, copper filled areas.The inductor, output capacitor and the MOSFET shouldbe close to each other as possible. This helps to reducethe EMI radiated by the power traces due to the highswitching currents through them. Place input capacitor

directly to the drain of the high-side MOSFET, to reducethe ESR replace the single input capacitor with two par-allel units. The feedback part of the system should bekept away from the inductor and other noise sources,and be placed close to the IC. In multilayer PCB useone layer as power ground plane and have a control cir-cuit ground (analog ground), to which all signals are ref-erenced. The goal is to localize the high current path toa separate loop that does not interfere with the moresensitive analog control function. These two groundsmust be connected together on the PC board layout at asingle point.
