With side inductor connected inductor current ramps store energy magnetic field. inductor current level measured Current Sense Amplifier added Oscillator ramp signal. resulting summation higher than COMP voltage, output Comparator goes high. When this happens when Oscillator clock output goes low, High-Side Power Switch turns Low-Side Power Switch turns this point, side inductor swings diode voltage below ground, causing inductor current decrease magnetic energy transferred output. This state continues until cycle starts again. High-Side Power Switch driven logic using positive rail. This charged when Low-Side Power Switch turns COMP voltage integration error between input internal 1.293V reference. lower than reference voltage, COMP tends higher increase current output. Current limit happens when COMP reaches maximum clamp value 2.6V. Oscillator normally switches 420kHz. However, voltage less than 0.7V, then switching frequency decreases until reaches minimum 50kHz 0.5V. Shutdown Control ACT4012A enable input turning off.

ACT4012A APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Output Voltage Setting Figure Output Voltage Setting VOUT ACT4012A RFB2 RFB1 Input Capacitor input capacitor needs carefully selected maintain sufficiently ripple supply input converter. capacitor highly recommended. Since large current flows this capacitor during switching, also affects efficiency. input capacitance needs higher than 10µF. best choice ceramic type, however, tantalum electrolytic types also used provided that ripple current rating higher than output current. input capacitor should placed close pins with shortest traces possible. case tantalum electrolytic types, they further away small parallel 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed right next Figure shows connections setting output voltage. Select proper ratio feedback resistors RFB1 RFB2 based output voltage. Typically, RFB2 determine RFB1 from output voltage: Output Capacitor output capacitor also needs have keep output voltage ripple. output ripple voltage VRIPPLE IOUTMAX RIPPLE RESR 1.293V Inductor Selection inductor maintains continuous current output load. This inductor current ripple that dependent inductance value higher inductance reduces peak-to-peak ripple current. trade high inductance value increase inductor core size series resistance, reduction current handling capability. general, select inductance value based ripple current requirement: VOUT VOUT OUTMAX RIPPLE where input voltage, VOUT output voltage, switching frequency, IOUTMAX maximum output current, KRIPPLE ripple factor. Typically, choose KRIPPLE correspond peak-to-peak ripple current being maximum output current. With this inductor value, peak inductor current IOUT KRIPPLE/2). Make sure that this peak inductor current less that current limit. Finally, select inductor core size that does saturate Table Typical Inductor Values VOUT 1.5V 7.5µH 1.8V 10µH 2.5V 12µH 3.3V 15µH 22µH where IOUTMAX maximum output current, KRIPis ripple factor, RESR resistance output capacitor, switching frequency, inductor value, COUT output capacitance. case ceramic output capacitors, RESR very small does contribute ripple. Therefore, lower capacitance value used ceramic type. case tantalum electrolytic type, ripple dominated RESR multiplied ripple current. that case, output capacitor chosen have sufficiently ESR. ceramic output type, typically choose capacitance about 22µF. tantalum electrolytic type, choose capacitor with less than ESR. Rectifier Diode Schottky diode rectifier conduct current when High-Side Power Switch off. Schottky diode must have current rating higher than maximum output current reverse voltage rating higher than maximum input voltage.
