Circuit Description: continued

Applications Information

Specifications

VIN = 3.3V +/- 10% (i.e. 3.63V max., 2.97V min.)

VOUT = 1.5V +/- 2%

IOUT = 0.3A to 3A

Output ripple voltage < 33mV.

FSW = 200kHz.

1) Duty Cycle Estimates

Since the maximum duty cycle, D, of the CS51033 is limited

to 80% min. it is best to estimate the duty cycle for the vari-

ous input conditions to see that the design will work over

the complete operating range.

The duty cycle for a buck regulator operating in a continu-

ous conduction mode is given by:

D =

Where VSAT is Rdson × IOUT Max.

In this case we can assume that VD = 0.6V and VSAT = 0.6V

so the equation reduces to:

VOUT + VD

VIN - VSAT

Designing a Power Supply with the CS51033

feedback to the VFB Comparator sets the GATE flip-flop dur-

ing COSC ’s charge cycle. Once the GATE flip-flop is set,

VGATE goes low and turns on the PFET. When VCS exceeds

2.4V, the CS charge sense comparator (A4) sets the VFB com-

parator reference to 1.25V completing the startup cycle.

Lossless Short Circuit Protection

The CS51033 has “Lossless” short circuit protection since

there is no current sense resistor required. When the voltage

at the CS pin (the fault timing capacitor voltage ) reaches

2.5V, the fault timing circuitry is enabled. During normal

operation the CS voltage is 2.6V. During a short circuit con-

dition or a transient condition, the output voltage moves

lower and the voltage at VFB drops. If VFB drops below

1.15V, the output of the fault comparator goes high and the

CS51033 goes into a fast discharge mode. The fault timing

capacitor, CS, discharges to 2.4V. If the VFB voltage is still

below 1.15V when the CS pin reaches 2.4V, a valid fault con-

dition has been detected. The slow discharge comparator

output goes high and enables gate G5 which sets the slow

discharge flip flop. The Vgate flip flop resets and the output

switch is turned off. The fault timing capacitor is slowly dis-

charged to 1.5V. The CS51033 then enters a normal startup

routine. If the fault is still present when the fault timing

capacitor voltage reaches 2.5V, the fast and slow discharge

cycles repeat as shown in figure 2.

If the VFB voltage is above 1.15V when CS reaches 2.4V a

fault condition is not detected, normal operation resumes

and CS charges back to 2.6V. This reduces the chance of

erroneously detecting a load transient as a fault condition.

feedback loop (VFB), during startup, normal and fault conditions.

Buck Regulator Operation

Figure 3. Buck regulator block diagram.

A block diagram of a typical buck regulator is shown in

Figure 3. If we assume that the output transistor is initially

off, and the system is in discontinuous operation, the induc-

tor current IL is zero and the output voltage is at its nominal

value. The current drawn by the load is supplied by the out-

put capacitor CO . When the voltage across CO drops below

the threshold established by the feedback resistors R1 and

R2 and the reference voltage VREF, the power transistor Q1

switches on and current flows through the inductor to the

output. The inductor current rises at a rate determined by

(VIN-VOUT)/Load. The duty cycle (or “on” time) for the

CS51033 is limited to 80%. If the output voltage remains

higher than nominal during the entire COSC charge time, the

Q1 does not turn on, skipping the pulse.

CHARGE PUMP CIRCUIT

(Refer to the CS51033 Application Diagram)

An external charge pump circuit is necessary when the input

voltage is below 5V to ensure that there is sufficient gate

drive voltage for the external FET. When VIN is applied,

capacitors C1 and C2 will be charged to a diodes drop below

VIN via diodes D2 and D4, respectively. When the PFET

turns on, its drain voltage will be approximately equal to

VIN. Since the voltage across C1 can not change instanta-

neously, D2 is reverse biased and the anode voltage rises to

approximately 2*3.3V-VD2. C1 transfers some of its stored

charge C2 via D3. After several cycles there is sufficient gate

drive voltage.
