APW7105A/B
www.anpec.com.tw6
Function Description
Main Control Loop
The APW7105A/B is a constant frequency, synchronous
rectifier and current-mode switching regulator. In normal
operation, the internal P-channel power MOSFET is
turned on every cycle. The peak inductor current at which
ICMP turn off the P-FET is controlled by the voltage on the
COMP node, which is the output of the error amplifier
(EAMP). An external resistive divider connected between
VOUT and ground allows the EAMP to receive an output
feedback voltage VFB at FB pin. When the load current
increases, it causes a slightly decrease in VFB relative to
the reference voltage, VREF, which in turn causes the COMP
voltage to increase until the average inductor current
matches the new load current.
Under-Voltage Lockout
An under-voltage lockout function prevents the device from
operating if the input voltage on VIN is lower than approxi-
mately 1.8V. The device automatically enters the shut-
down mode if the voltage on VIN drops below approxi-
mately 1.8V. This under-voltage lockout function is imple-
mented in order to prevent the malfunctioning of the
converter.
Soft-Start
The APW7105A/B has a built-in soft-start to control the
output voltage rise during start-up. During soft-start, an
internal ramp voltage, connected to the one of the posi-
tive inputs of the error amplifier, raises up to replace the
reference voltage until the ramp voltage reaches the ref-
erence voltage. Then, the voltage on FB regulated at ref-
erence voltage.
Enable/Shutdown
Driving RUN to the ground places the APW7105A/B in
shutdown mode. When in shutdown, the internal power
MOSFETs turn off, all internal circuitry shuts down and
the quiescent supply current reduces to 0.5µA maximum.
Pulse Frequency Modulation Mode (PFM)
The APW7105A/B is a fixed frequency, peak current mode
PWM step-down converter. At light loads, the
APW7105A/B will automatically enter in pulse frequency
mode operation to reduce the dominant switching losses.
In PFM operation, the inductor current may reach zero or
reverse on each pulse. A zero current comparator turns
off the N-FET, forcing DCM operation at light load. These
controls get very low quiescent current, help to maintain
high efficiency over the complete load range.
Slope Compensation and Inductor Peak Current
The APW7105A/B is a peak current mode PWM step down
converter. To prevent sub-harmonic oscillations, the
APW7105A/B senses the peak current and adds slope
compensation to stable the converter. It is accomplished
internally by adding a compensating ramp to the inductor
current signal at duty cycles in excess of 40%. Normally,
this results in a reduction of maximum inductor peak cur-
rent for duty cycles > 40%. However, the APW7105A/B
uses a special scheme that counteracts this compen-
sating ramp, which allows the maximum inductor peak
current to remain unaffected throughout all duty cycles.
Adaptive Shoot-Through Protection
The gate driver incorporates adaptive shoot-through pro-
tection to high-side and low-side MOSFETs from con-
ducting simultaneously and shorting the input supply.
This is accomplished by ensuring the falling gate has
turned off one MOSFET before the other is allowed to
rise.
During turn-off the low-side MOSFET, the internal LGATE
voltage is monitored until it is below 1.5V threshold, at
which time the UGATE is released to rise after a constant
delay. During turn-off the high-side MOSFET, the UGATE
voltage is also monitored until it is above 1.5V threshold,
at which time the LGATE is released to rise after a con-
stant delay.
Dropout Operation
As the input supply voltage decreases to a value ap-
proaching the output voltage, the duty cycle increases
toward the maximum on time. Further, reduction of the
supply voltage forces the main switch to remain on for
more than one cycle until it reaches 100% duty cycle. The
input voltage minus the voltage drop will determine the
output voltage across the P-FET and the inductor.

Function Description (Cont.)
Dropout Operation (Cont.)
An important detail to remember is that on resistance of
P-FET switch will increase at low input supply voltage.
Therefore, the user should calculate the power dissipa-
tion when the APW7105A/B is used at 100% duty cycle
with low input voltage.
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
The over-temperature circuit limits the junction tempera-
ture of the APW7105A/B. When the junction temperature
exceeds 150oC, a thermal sensor turns off the both power
MOSFETs, allowing the devices to cool. The thermal sen-
sor allows the converters to start a soft-start process and
regulate the output voltage again after the junction tem-
perature cools by 30oC. The OTP is designed with a 30oC
hysteresis to lower the average Junction Temperature
(TJ) during continuous thermal overload conditions, in-
creasing the lifetime of the device.
Short-Circuit Protection
When the output is shortened to the ground, the frequency
of the oscillator is reduced to about 210kHz, 1/7 of the
nominal frequency. This frequency foldback ensures that
the inductor current has more time to decay, thereby pre-
venting runaway. The oscillators frequency will progres-
sively increase to 1.5MHz when VFB or VOUT rises above
0V.

Application Information
Input Capacitor Selection
Because buck converters have a pulsating input current,
a low ESR input capacitor is required. This results in the
best input voltage filtering, minimizing the interference
with other circuits caused by high input voltage spikes.
Also, the input capacitor must be sufficiently large to sta-
bilize the input voltage during heavy load transients. For
good input voltage filtering, usually a 4.7µF input capaci-
tor is sufficient. It can be increased without any limit for
better input-voltage filtering. Ceramic capacitors show
better performance because of the low ESR value, and
they are less sensitive against voltage transients and
spikes compared to tantalum capacitors. Place the input
capacitor as close as possible to the input and GND pin of
the device for better performance.
Inductor Selection
For high efficiencies, the inductor should have a low DC
resistance to minimize conduction losses. Especially at
high-switching frequencies, the core material has a
higher impact on efficiency. When using small chip
inductors, the efficiency is reduced mainly due to higher
inductor core losses. This needs to be considered when
selecting the appropriate inductor. The inductor value de-
termines the inductor ripple current. The larger the induc-
tor value, the smaller the inductor ripple current and the
lower the conduction losses of the converter. Conversely,
larger inductor values cause a slower load transient
response. A reasonable starting point for setting ripple
current, IL, is 40% of maximum output current. The rec-
ommended inductor value can be calculated as below:
LSW
IN
OUT
OUT
IFV
V
1V
L
IL(MAX) = IOUT(MAX) + 1/2 x IL
To avoid the saturation of the inductor, the inductor should
be rated at least for the maximum output current of the
converter plus the inductor ripple current.
Output Voltage Setting
In the adjustable version, the output voltage is set by a
resistive divider. The external resistive divider is con-
nected to the output, allowing remote voltage sensing as
shown in “Typical Application Circuits.” A suggestion of
maximum value of R2 is 400k to keep the minimum
current that provides enough noise rejection ability through
the resistor divider. The output voltage can be calculated
as below:
Output Capacitor Selection
The current-mode control scheme of the APW7105A/B
allows the use of tiny ceramic capacitors. The higher ca-
pacitor value provides the good load transients response.
Ceramic capacitors with low ESR values have the lowest
output voltage ripple and are recommended. If required,
tantalum capacitors may be used as well. The output
ripple is the sum of the voltages across the ESR and the
ideal output capacitor.

Application Information (Cont.)
Thermal Consideration
In most applications, the APW7105A/B does not dissi-
pate much heat due to its high efficiency. But, in applica-
tions where the APW7105A/B is running at high ambient
temperature with low supply voltage and high duty cycles,
the heat dissipated may exceed the maximum junction
temperature of the part. If the junction temperature reaches
approximately 150°C, both power switches will be turned
off and the SW node will become high impedance.
To avoid the APW7105A/B from exceeding the maximum
junction temperature, the user will need to do some ther-
mal analysis. The goal of the thermal analysis is to deter-
mine whether the power dissipated exceeds the maxi-
mum junction temperature of the part. The power dissi-
pated by the part is approximated:
PD IOUT2 x (RP-FET x D+RN-FET x (1-D))
The temperature rise is given by:
TR = (PD)(θJA)
Where PD is the power dissipated by the regulator, D is
duty cycle of main switch
D = VOUT/VIN
The θJA is the thermal resistance from the junction of the
die to the ambient temperature. The junction temperature,
TJ, is given by:
TJ = TA + TR
Where TA is the ambient temperature.

Layout Consideration
For all switching power supplies, the layout is an impor-
tant step in the design; especially at high peak currents
and switching frequencies. If the layout is not carefully
done, the regulator might show noise problems and duty
cycle jitter.
1. The input capacitor should be placed close to the VIN
and GND. Connecting the capacitor and VIN/GND with
short and wide trace without any via holes for good
input voltage filtering. The distance between VIN/GND
to capacitor less than 2mm respectively is
recommended.
2. To minimize copper trace connections that can inject
noise into the system, the inductor should be placed
as close as possible to the SW pin to minimize the
noise coupling into other circuits.
3. The output capacitor should be placed closed to VOUT
and GND.
4. Since the feedback pin and network is a high imped-
ance circuit, the feedback network should be routed
away from the inductor. The feedback pin and feed-
back network should be shielded with a ground plane
or trace to minimize noise coupling into this circuit.
5. A star ground connection or ground plane minimizes
ground shifts and noise is recommended.
