Ch.4 is a step-down DC-DC converter of synchronous rectifying type.
Figure 6
7 shows internal block configuration of ch.4.
Output voltage is determined by the following equation.
Vout
=
V
REF
is 1.07 V initially.
When high precision is required for output voltage, use a high precision resistor for R41 and R42, respectively.
R41 and R42 are influenced not by absolute precision, but by relative precision. Therefore, when using a resistor of
±
0.5%
precision resistor, output voltage varies for maximum
±
1%.
1) PWM comparison block
PWM comparator controls the on period of output pulse depending on input voltage.
Set output voltage to “High” and power on N-channel output MOS while triangular wave oscillation voltage is lower than pin 13
(SS4) and pin 14 (error amplifier output) voltages.
This circuit is able to operation up to maximum duty of 100%.
Insertion of a capacitor between pin 13 and GND allows for a soft start operation of gradually widening on period of output
pulse at startup time so that overshoot and undershoot at startup time.
The constant at the time of soft start is determined by the internal R401 and the external capacitor of pin 13.
C41 and R44 are the additional components to improve transient response characteristics coming up when load current is
suddenly changed.
On the condition of this test board, the control output voltage on sudden load change of 0 mA to 500 mA
(changing time 10
μ
sec)
Can be controlled approximately to 90 mV.
