TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS 3/9 Rev1.2 Liteon Semiconductor Corporation LSP3103 500mA Synchronous Step-Down Converter (Test Figure 1 below unless otherwise specified) TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS (CONTINUED) 4/9 Rev1.2 Liteon Semiconductor Corporation LSP3103 500mA Synchronous Step-Down Converter FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION 5/9 Rev1.2 Liteon Semiconductor Corporation LSP3103 500mA Synchronous Step-Down Converter OPERATION LSP3103 is a monolithic switching mode Step-Down DC-DC converter. It utilizes internal MOSFETs to achieve high efficiency and can generate very low output voltage by using internal reference at 0.6V. It operates at a fixed switching frequency, and uses the slope compensated current mode architecture. This Step-Down DC-DC Converter suppliers 500mA output current at VIN=3V with input voltage range from 2.5V to 6.5V. CURRENT MODE PWM CONTROL Slope compensated current mode PWM control provides stable switching and cycle-by-cycle current limit for excellent load and line responses and protection of the internal main switch (P-Ch MOSFET) and synchronous rectifier (N-Ch MOSFET). During normal operation, the internal P-Ch MOSFET is turned on for a certain time to ramp the inductor current at each rising edge of the internal oscillator, and switched off when the peak inductor current is above the error voltage. The current comparator, ICOMP, limits the peak inductor current. When the main switch is off, the synchronous rectifier will be turned on immediately and stay on until either the inductor current starts to reverse, as indicated by the current reversal comparator, IZERO, or the beginning of the next clock cycle. The OVDET comparator controls output transient overshoots by turning the main switch off and keeping it off until the faults is no longer present. DROPOUT OPERATION When the input voltage decreases toward the value of the output voltage, the LSP3103 allows the main switch to remain on for more than one switching cycle and increases the duty cycle until it reaches 100%. The duty cycle D of a step-down converter is defined as: D=TON x f OSC x 100% VOUT x 100% VIN Where TON is the main switch on time and fOSC is the oscillator frequency (1.5MHz). The output voltage then is the input voltage minus the voltage drop across the main switch and the inductor. At low input supply voltage, the RDS(ON) of the P-Channel MOSFET increase, and the efficiency of the converter decreases. Caution must be exercised to ensure the heat dissipated not to exceed the maximum junction temperature of the IC. MAXIMUM LOAD CURRENT The LSP3103 will operate with input supply voltages as low as 2.5V, however, the maximum load current decreases at lower input due to large IR drop on the main switch and synchronous rectifier. The slope compensation signal reduces the peak inductor current as a function of the duty cycle to prevent sub harmonic oscillations at duty cycles greater than 50%. Conversely the current limit increases as the duty cycle decreases. 6/9 Rev1.2 Liteon Semiconductor Corporation LSP3103 500mA Synchronous Step-Down Converter APPLICATION INFORMATION Vin 2.7V-4.2V 4 SW Vin 3 C1 4.7F L1 2.2H C2 22pF 1 VFB Run Vout 1.8V C3 10F 5 R1 632K GND R2 316K 2 Fig.1 Basic Application Circuit with LSP3103 adjustable version Vin 2.5V-5.5V 4 SW Vin 3 C1 4.7F L1 2.2H Vout 1.8V C3 10F 1 Run VOUT 5 GND 2 Fig.2 Basic Application Circuit with fixed output versions SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE Figure 1 above shows the basic application circuit with LSP3103 adjustable output version. The external resistor sets the output voltage according to the following equation: R VOUT = 0.6 V x 1 + 1 R2 For example, fixed R1=300k for all outputs; R2=300k for VOUT=1.2V, R2=200k for VOUT=1.5V, R2=150k for VOUT=1.8V and R2=95.3k for VOUT=2.5V. INDUCTOR SELECTION For most designs, the LSP3103 operates with inductors of 1H to 4.7H. Low inductance values are physically smaller but require faster switching, which results in some efficiency loss. The inductor value can be derived from the following equation: L= VOUT x ( VIN - VOUT ) VIN x I L x f OSC Where IL is inductor Ripple Current. Large value inductors lower ripple current and small value inductors result in high ripple currents. Choose inductor ripple current approximately 35% of the maximum load current 500mA, or IL=175mA. For output voltages above 2.0V, when light-load efficiency is important, the minimum recommended inductor is 2.2H. For optimum voltage-positioning load transients, choose an inductor with DC series resistance in the 50m to 150m range. For higher efficiency at heavy loads (above 200mA), or minimal load regulation (but some transient overshoot), the resistance should be kept below 100m. The DC current rating of the inductor should be at least equal to the maximum load current plus half the ripple current to prevent core saturation (500mA+87.5mA). Table 1 lists some typical surface mount inductors that meet target applications for the LSP3103. 7/9 Rev1.2 Liteon Semiconductor Corporation LSP3103 500mA Synchronous Step-Down Converter Part # Sumida Sumida CDRH4D18 Toko D312C L (H) Max DCR (m) 14 2.2 3.3 4.7 1.5 2.2 3.3 4.7 1.5 2.2 3.3 4.7 56.2 71.2 86.2 108.7 60 75 110 162 120 140 180 240 Rated D.C.

The input capacitor impedance at the switching frequency shall be less than input source impedance to prevent high frequency switching current passing to the input. A low ESR input capacitor sized for minimum RMS current must be used. Ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics are highly recommended because of their low ESR and small temperature coefficients. A 4.7F ceramic capacitor for most applications is sufficient. OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION The output capacitor is requires to keep the output voltage ripple small and to ensure regulation loop stability. The output capacitor must have low impedance at the switching frequency. Ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended due to their low ESR and high ripple current. The output ripple VOUT is determined by: VOUT x ( VIN - VOUT ) 1 x ESR + VIN x f OSC x L 8 x f OSC x C3 ORDERING INFORMATION VOUT MARKING INFORMATION PACKAGE INFORMATION 8/9 Rev1.2 Liteon Semiconductor Corporation LSP3103 500mA Synchronous Step-Down Converter SEATING PLANE D b L E L1 E1 c e L2 e1 M1 A GAUGE PLANE A2 M2 A1 Symbol A A1 A2 b c D E E1 e e1 L L1 L2 M1 M2 Min 1.05 0.05 1.00 0.30 0.08 2.80 2.60 1.50 0.30 3 6 Dimensions In Millimeters Typ 1.20 0.10 1.10 2.90 2.80 1.60 0.95 BSC 1.90 BSC 0.45 0.60 REF 0.25 BSC 5 8 9/9 Max 1.35 0.15 1.20 0.50 0.22 3.00 3.00 1.70 0.55 7 10 Rev1.2
