Inductor Selection
Three different electrical parameters need to be
considered when selecting an inductor, the value of
the inductor, the saturation current and the DCR.
During normal and heavy load operation, the
LV52133A is intended to operate in Continuous
Conduction Mode (CCM). The equation below can be
used to calculate the peak current.
Ipeak_p = Iout1 / (n1 x ( 1– D1 ))
+ ( VIN x D1 ) / 2 x L1 x Fosc1
VIN: battery voltage, IOUT1:load current, L:inductor
value, Fosc1: OSC frequency1, D1:duty cycle,
n1:converter efficiency varies with load current.
A good approximation is to use η = 0.85. It is
important to ensure that the inductor current rating is
high enough such that it not saturate. As the inductor
size is reduced, the peak current for a given set of
conditions increases along with higher current ripple
so it is not possible to deliver maximum output power
at lower inductor values. Finally an acceptable DCR
must be selected regarding losses in the inductor and
must be lower than 250mΩ (typical) to limit excessive
voltage drop. In addition, as DCR is reduced, overall
efficiency will improve. The inductor value is
recommended to use a 4.7H or 2.2H.
POR function
This is “Power On Reset” function to reset internal
logic circuits. This function can be worked by
reducing IC’s VIN voltage until about 1V.
Start/Shutdown Sequencing
The pins EN1/EN2 are used as enable input logic.
An active high logic level on those pins enables the
device. A built-in pull-down resistor disables the
device if the pin is left open. If a high logic signal is
applied, the LV52133A starts with timing sequence as
depicted below figure that is as in often cases of panel
power supply. In the figure, VOUT1’s ramp up time is
shown as 600s. This is the case that the VOUT1
output capacitance is selected 4.7F. If the
capacitance is 10F, the ramp up time becomes 1.3ms.
according to next formula. The Trampup had better be
kept within 2.5ms in order to avoid highly inrush
current. If the time is over 2.5ms, IC can also wake up
with larger current limiter, which is described in OCP
section. And next, time of VOUT2’s ramp-up is also
same idea as VOUT1. Please estimate by changing the
600s to 800s in the same expression.
Typically the next step is starting of panel load in
the case of VOUT2. The timing from EN2=ON is
needed over 2.5ms and over calculated time with the
above equations. This is only to avoid unnecessary
inrush current. Even if over the time, each output
involves the unnecessary inrush current, but is able to
wake up outputs.
When each EN is off, active discharge resistance
work always in each output, and the output voltage
goes to GND voltage.
