3 Description

The LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 regulators are

monolithic, high-frequency, PWM step-down DC-DC

converters in 10-pin WSON and 10-pin MSOP-

PowerPAD packages. They contain all the active

functions to provide local DC-DC conversion with fast

transient response and accurate regulation in the

smallest possible PCB area.

With a minimum of external components, the

LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 are easy to use. The

ability to drive 1.5-A or 2-A loads respectively, with an

internal 150-mΩNMOS switch results in the best

power density available. The world-class control

circuitry allows for on-times as low as 65 ns, thus

supporting exceptionally high frequency conversion.

Switching frequency is internally set to 2 MHz and

synchronizable from 1 to 2.35 MHz, which allows the

use of extremely small surface mount inductors and

chip capacitors. Even though the operating frequency

is very high, efficiencies up to 90% are easy to

achieve. External shutdown is included, which

features an ultra-low shutdown current of 70 nA. The

LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 use peak current-mode

control and internal compensation to provide high-

performance regulation over a wide range of

operating conditions. Additional features include

internal soft-start circuitry to reduce inrush current,

pulse-by-pulse current limit, thermal shutdown, and

output overvoltage protection.

7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview

The LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 are a constant-frequency, peak current-mode PWM buck regulator IC that

delivers a 1.5-A or 2-A load current. The regulator has a preset switching frequency of 2 MHz. This high

frequency allows the LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 to operate with small surface-mount capacitors and inductors,

resulting in a DC-DC converter that requires a minimum amount of board space. The LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1

are internally compensated, which reduces design time, and requires few external components.

The following operating description of the LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 refers to Functional Block Diagram and to

the waveforms in Figure 27. The LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 supply a regulated output voltage by switching the

internal NMOS switch at a constant frequency and varying the duty cycle. A switching cycle begins at the falling

edge of the reset pulse generated by the internal oscillator. When this pulse goes low, the output control logic

turns on the internal NMOS switch. During this on-time, the SW pin voltage (VSW) swings up to approximately

VIN, and the inductor current (iL) increases with a linear slope. The current-sense amplifier measures iL, which

generates an output proportional to the switch current typically called the sense signal. The sense signal is

summed with the regulator’s corrective ramp and compared to the error amplifier’s output, which is proportional

to the difference between the feedback voltage (VFB) and VREF. When the output of the PWM comparator goes

high, the switch turns off until the next switching cycle begins. During the switch off-time (tOFF), inductor current

discharges through the catch diode D1, which forces the SW pin (VSW) to swing below ground by the forward

voltage (VD1) of the catch diode. The regulator loop adjusts the duty cycle (D) to maintain a constant output

voltage.

7.2 Functional Block Diagram

7.3 Feature Description

7.3.1 Boost Function

Capacitor C2in Functional Block Diagram, commonly referred to as CBOOST, is used to store a voltage VBOOST.

When LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 start up, an internal LDO charges CBOOST through an internal diode, to a

voltage sufficient to turn the internal NMOS switch on. The gate drive voltage supplied to the internal NMOS

switch is VBOOST – VSW.

During a normal switching cycle, when the internal NMOS control switch is off (tOFF) (see Figure 27), VBOOST

equals VLDO minus the forward voltage of the internal diode (VD2). At the same time the inductor current (iL)

forward biases the catch diode D1 forcing the SW pin to swing below ground by the forward voltage drop of the

catch diode (VD1). Therefore, the voltage stored across CBOOST is calculated with Equation 1 and Equation 2.

VBOOST – VSW = VLDO – VD2 + VD1 (1)

VBOOST = VSW + VLDO – VD2 + VD1 (2)

When the NMOS switch turns on (tON), the switch pin rises to Equation 3.

VSW = VIN – (RDSON × IL) (3)

Then the D1 undergoes reverse biasing, and forces VBOOST to rise. The voltage at VBOOST is then calculated with

Equation 4.

VBOOST = VIN – (RDSON × IL)+VLDO – VD2 + VD1 (4)

Which is approximately calculated with Equation 5.

VIN + VLDO – 0.4 V (5)

VBOOST has pulled itself up by its bootstraps, or boosted to a higher voltage.

Feature Description (continued)

7.3.2 Low Input Voltage Considerations

When the input voltage is below 5 V and the duty cycle is greater than 75%, the gate drive voltage developed

across CBOOST might not be sufficient for proper operation of the NMOS switch. In this case, CBOOST must be

charged through an external Schottky diode attached to a 5-V voltage rail (see Figure 28). This ensures that the

gate drive voltage is high enough for proper operation of the NMOS switch in the triode region. Maintain VBOOST –

VSW less than the 6-V absolute maximum rating.

Figure 28. External Diode Charges CBOOST

7.3.3 High Output Voltage Considerations

When the output voltage is greater than 3.3 V, a minimum load current is required to charge CBOOST (see

Figure 29). The minimum load current forward biases the catch diode D1 forcing the SW pin to swing below

ground. This allows CBOOST to charge, ensuring that the gate drive voltage is high enough for proper operation.

The minimum load current depends on many factors including the inductor value.

Feature Description (continued)

7.3.4 Frequency Synchronization

The LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 switching frequency can be synchronized to an external clock, between 1 MHz

and 2.35 MHz, applied at the SYNC pin. At the first rising edge applied to the SYNC pin, the internal oscillator is

overridden and subsequent positive edges initiate switching cycles. If the external SYNC signal is lost during

operation, the LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 revert to its internal 2-MHz oscillator within 1.5 µs. To disable

frequency synchronization and use the internal 2-MHz oscillator, connect the SYNC pin to GND.

The SYNC pin gives the designer the flexibility to optimize their design. A lower switching frequency can be

chosen for higher efficiency. A higher switching frequency can be chosen to keep EMI out of sensitive ranges

such as the AM radio band. Synchronization can also be used to eliminate beat frequencies generated by the

interaction of multiple switching power converters. Synchronizing multiple switching power converters result in

cleaner power rails.

The selected switching frequency (fSYNC) and the minimum on-time (tMIN) limit the minimum duty cycle (DMIN) of

the device as calculated with Equation 6.

DMIN = tMIN × fSYNC (6)

Operation below DMIN is not recommended. The LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 skip pulses to keep the output

voltage in regulation, and the current limit is not ensured. The switching is in phase but no longer at the same

switching frequency as the SYNC signal.

7.3.5 Current Limit

The LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 use cycle-by-cycle current limiting to protect the output switch. During each

switching cycle, a current limit comparator detects if the output switch current exceeds 2 A minimum (LM27341)

or 2.5 A minimum (LM27342), and turns off the switch until the next switching cycle begins.

7.3.6 Frequency Foldback

The LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 employ frequency foldback to protect the device from current run-away during

output short-circuit. Once the FB pin voltage falls below regulation, the switch frequency smoothly reduce with

the falling FB voltage until the switch frequency reaches 220 kHz (typical). If the device is synchronized to an

external clock, synchronization is disabled until the FB pin voltage exceeds 0.53 V.

7.3.7 Output Overvoltage Protection

The overvoltage comparator turns off the internal power NFET when the FB pin voltage exceeds the internal

reference voltage by 13% (VFB > 1.13 × VREF). With the power NFET turned off the output voltage decreases

toward the regulation level.

7.3.8 Undervoltage Lockout

Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) prevents the LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 from operating until the input voltage

exceeds 2.75 V (typical).

The UVLO threshold has approximately 470 mV of hysteresis, so the part operates until VIN drops below

2.28 V (typical). Hysteresis prevents the part from turning off during power up if VIN has finite impedance.

7.3.9 Thermal Shutdown

Thermal shutdown limits total power dissipation by turning off the internal NMOS switch when the IC junction

temperature exceeds 165°C (typical). After thermal shutdown occurs, hysteresis prevents the internal NMOS

switch from turning on until the junction temperature drops to approximately 150°C.

7.4 Device Functional Modes

7.4.1 Enable Pin and Shutdown Mode

Connect the EN pin to a voltage source greater than 1.8 V to enable operation of the LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1.

Apply a voltage less than 0.4 V to put the part into shutdown mode. In shutdown mode, the quiescent current

drops to typically 70 nA. Switch leakage adds another 40 nA from the input supply. For proper operation, the

LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 EN pin must never be left floating, and the voltage must never exceed VIN + 0.3 V.

The simplest way to enable the operation of LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 is to connect the EN pin to AVIN which

allows self start-up of the LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 when the input voltage is applied.

When the rise time of VIN is longer than the soft-start time of the LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1, this method may

result in an overshoot in output voltage. In such applications, the EN pin voltage can be controlled by a separate

logic signal, or tied to a resistor divider, which reaches 1.8 V after VIN is fully established (see Figure 30). This

minimizes the potential for output voltage overshoot during a slow VIN ramp condition. Use the lowest value of

VIN, seen in your application when calculating the resistor network using Equation 7, to ensure that the 1.8 V

minimum EN threshold is reached.

Figure 30. Resistor Divider on EN

(7)

7.4.2 Soft-Start Mode

The LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 have a fixed internal soft-start of 1 ms (typical). During soft start, the error

amplifier’s reference voltage ramps from 0 V to its nominal value of 1 V in approximately 1 ms. This forces the

regulator output to ramp in a controlled fashion, which helps reduce inrush current. Upon soft start, the part is

initially in frequency foldback and the frequency rises as FB rises. The regulator rises gradually to 2 MHz. The

LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 allows synchronization to an external clock at FB > 0.53 V.

8 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component

specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are

responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should

validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application Information

8.1.1 Inductor Selection

Inductor selection is critical to the performance of the LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1. The selection of the inductor

affects stability, transient response and efficiency. A key factor in inductor selection is determining the ripple

current (ΔiL) (see Figure 27). The ripple current (ΔiL) is important in many ways.

First, by allowing more ripple current, lower inductance values can be used with a corresponding decrease in

physical dimensions and improved transient response. On the other hand, allowing less ripple current increases

the maximum achievable load current and reduce the output voltage ripple (see Output Capacitor for more

details on calculating output voltage ripple). Increasing the maximum load current is achieved by ensuring that

the peak inductor current (ILPK) never exceeds the minimum current limit of 2 A for the LM27341 or 2.5 A for the

LM27342 in Equation 8.

ILPK = IOUT +ΔiL/ 2 (8)

Secondly, the slope of the ripple current affects the current control loop. The LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 have a

fixed slope corrective ramp. When the slope of the current ripple becomes significantly less than the converter’s

corrective ramp, the inductor pole moves from high frequencies to lower frequencies. This negates one

advantage that peak current-mode control has overvoltage-mode control, which is, a single low-frequency pole in

the power stage of the converter. This can reduce the phase margin, crossover frequency and potentially cause

instability in the converter. Contrarily, when the slope of the ripple current becomes significantly greater than the

converter’s corrective ramp, resonant peaking can occur in the control loop. This can also cause instability

(subharmonic oscillation) in the converter. For the power supply designer, this means that for lower switching

frequencies the current ripple must be increased to keep the inductor pole well above crossover. It also means

that for higher switching frequencies the current ripple must be decreased to avoid resonant peaking.

With all these factors, the desired ripple current is selected with Equation 9. The ripple ratio (r) is defined as the

ratio of inductor ripple current (ΔiL) to output current (IOUT), evaluated at maximum load.

(9)

A good compromise between physical size, transient response and efficiency is achieved when we set the ripple

ratio between 0.2 and 0.4. The recommended ripple ratio versus duty cycle shown in Figure 31 is based upon

this compromise and control loop optimizations. Note that this is just a guideline. See AN-1197 Selecting

Inductors for Buck Converters for further considerations.

Application Information (continued)

Figure 31. Recommended Ripple Ratio vs Duty Cycle

The duty cycle (D) can be approximated quickly using the ratio of output voltage (VOUT) to input voltage (VIN) in

Equation 10.

(10)

The application's lowest input voltage must be used to calculate the ripple ratio. The catch diode forward voltage

drop (VD1) and the voltage drop across the internal NFET (VDS) must be included to calculate a more accurate

duty cycle. Calculate D by using Equation 11.

(11)

VDS can be approximated with Equation 12.

VDS = IOUT × RDS(ON) (12)

The diode forward drop (VD1) can range from 0.3 V to 0.5 V depending on the quality of the diode. The lower VD1

is, the higher the operating efficiency of the converter.

Now that the ripple current or ripple ratio is determined, the required inductance is calculated with Equation 13.

where

• DMIN is the duty cycle calculated with the maximum input voltage

• fsw is the switching frequency

• IOUT is the maximum output current of 2 A (13)

Using IOUT = 2 A minimizes the inductor's physical size.

Application Information (continued)

8.1.1.1 Inductor Calculation Example

Operating conditions for the LM27342 are listed in Table 1.

Table 1. Operating Conditions for Inductor Example

OPERATING PARAMETERS

VIN = 7 – 16 V VOUT = 3.3 V IOUT = 2 A

fSW = 2 MHz VD1 = 0.5 V

First the maximum duty cycle is calculated with Equation 14.

DMAX = (VOUT + VD1) / (VIN + VD1 – VDS)

= (3.3 V + 0.5 V) / (7 V + 0.5 V – 0.3 V)

= 0.528 (14)

Using Figure 31 gives us a recommended ripple ratio = 0.4.

Now the minimum duty cycle is calculated with Equation 15.

DMIN = (VOUT + VD1) / (VIN + VD1 – VDS)

= (3.3 V + 0.5 V) / (16 V + 0.5 V – 0.3 V)

= 0.235 (15)

The inductance can now be calculated with Equation 16.

L = (1 – DMIN) × (VOUT + VD1) / (IOUT × r × fsw)

= (1 – 0.235) × (3.3 V + .5 V) / (2 A × 0.4 × 2 MHz)

= 1.817 µH (16)

This is close to the standard inductance value of 1.8 µH. This leads to a 1% deviation from the recommended

ripple ratio, which is now 0.4038.

Finally, we check that the peak current does not reach the minimum current limit of 2.5 A with Equation 17.

ILPK = IOUT × (1 + r / 2)

= 2 A × (1 + .4038 / 2)

= 2.404 A (17)

The peak current is less than 2.5 A, so the DC load specification can be met with this ripple ratio. To design for

the LM27341 simply replace IOUT = 1.5 A in the equations for ILPK and see that ILPK does not exceed the

LM27341's current limit of 2 A (minimum).

8.1.2 Inductor Material Selection

When selecting an inductor, make sure that it is capable of supporting the peak output current without saturating.

Inductor saturation results in a sudden reduction in inductance and prevent the regulator from operating correctly.

To prevent the inductor from saturating over the entire –40 °C to 125 °C range, pick an inductor with a saturation

current higher than the upper limit of ICL listed in Electrical Characteristics.

Ferrite core inductors are recommended to reduce AC loss and fringing magnetic flux. The drawback of ferrite

core inductors is their quick saturation characteristic. The current limit circuit has a propagation delay and so is

oftentimes not fast enough to stop a saturated inductor from going above the current limit. This has the potential

to damage the internal switch. To prevent a ferrite core inductor from getting into saturation, the inductor

saturation current rating must be higher than the switch current limit ICL. The LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 are

quite robust in handling short pulses of current that are a few amps above the current limit. Saturation protection

is provided by a second current limit which is 30% higher than the cycle by cycle current limit. When the

saturation protection is triggered the part turns off the output switch and attempt to soft start. When a

compromise must be made, pick an inductor with a saturation current just above the lower limit of the ICL. Be

sure to validate the short-circuit protection over the intended temperature range.

An inductor's saturation current is usually lower when hot. So consult the inductor vendor if the saturation current

rating is only specified at room temperature.

Soft saturation inductors such as the iron powder types can also be used. Such inductors do not saturate

suddenly and therefore are safer when there is a severe overload or even shorted output. Their physical sizes

are usually smaller than the Ferrite core inductors. The downside is their fringing flux and higher power

dissipation due to relatively high AC loss, especially at high frequencies.

8.1.3 Input Capacitor

An input capacitor is necessary to ensure that VIN does not drop excessively during switching transients. The

primary specifications of the input capacitor are capacitance, voltage, RMS current rating, and Equivalent Series

Inductance (ESL). The recommended input capacitance is 10 µF, although 4.7 µF works well for input voltages

below 6 V. The input voltage rating is specifically stated by the capacitor manufacturer. Make sure to check any

recommended deratings and also verify if there is any significant change in capacitance at the operating input

voltage and the operating temperature. The input capacitor maximum RMS input current rating (IRMS-IN) must be

greater than Equation 18.

where

• r is the ripple ratio defined earlier

• IOUT is the output current

• D is the duty cycle (18)

Equation 18 shows that maximum RMS capacitor current occurs when D = 0.5. Always calculate the RMS at the

point where the duty cycle, D, is closest to 0.5. The ESL of an input capacitor is usually determined by the

effective cross sectional area of the current path. A large leaded capacitor has high ESL and a 0805 ceramic

chip capacitor has very low ESL. At the operating frequencies of the LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1, certain

capacitors may have an ESL so large that the resulting impedance (2πfL) is higher than that required to provide

stable operation. As a result, TI strongly recommends surface-mount capacitors. Sanyo POSCAP, Tantalum or

Niobium, Panasonic SP or Cornell Dubilier Low ESR are all good choices for input capacitors and have

acceptable ESL. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) have very low ESL. For MLCCs, TI recommends using

X7R or X5R dielectrics. Consult the capacitor manufacturer's data sheet to see how rated capacitance varies

over operating conditions.

8.1.4 Output Capacitor

The output capacitor is selected based upon the desired output ripple and transient response. The LM2734x and

LM2734x-Q1 loop compensation is designed for ceramic capacitors. A minimum of 22 µF is required at 2 MHz

(33 µF at 1 MHz) while 47 µF to 100 µF is recommended for improved transient response and higher phase

margin. The output voltage ripple of the converter is calculated with Equation 19.

(19)

When using MLCCs, the ESR is typically so low that the capacitive ripple may dominate. When this occurs, the

output ripple is approximately sinusoidal and 90° phase shifted from the switching action. Another benefit of

ceramic capacitors is their ability to bypass high-frequency noise. A certain amount of switching edge noise

couples through parasitic capacitances in the inductor to the output. A ceramic capacitor bypasses this noise

while a tantalum does not.

The transient response is determined by the speed of the control loop and the ability of the output capacitor to

provide the initial current of a load transient. Capacitance can be increased significantly with little detriment to the

regulator stability. However, increasing the capacitance provides dimininshing improvement over 100 µF in most

applications, because the bandwidth of the control loop decreases as output capacitance increases. If improved

transient performance is required, add a feedforward capacitor. This becomes especially important for higher

output voltages where the bandwidth of the LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 is lower (see Feedforward Capacitor

(Optional) and Frequency Synchronization for more information).

Check the RMS current rating of the capacitor. The RMS current rating of the capacitor chosen must also meet

the following condition with Equation 20.

where

• IOUT is the output current

• r is the ripple ratio (20)

8.1.5 Catch Diode

The catch diode (D1) conducts during the switch off-time. A Schottky diode is recommended for its fast switching

times and low forward voltage drop. The catch diode must be chosen so that its current rating is greater than

Equation 21.

ID1 = IOUT × (1 - D) (21)

The reverse breakdown rating of the diode must be at least the maximum input voltage plus appropriate margin.

To improve efficiency, choose a Schottky diode with a low forward voltage drop.

8.1.6 Boost Diode (Optional)

For circuits with input voltages VIN < 5 V and duty cycles (D) > 0.75 V, TI recommends a small-signal Schottky

diode. A good choice is the BAT54 small signal diode. The cathode of the diode is connected to the BOOST pin

and the anode to a 5-V voltage rail.

8.1.7 Boost Capacitor

A ceramic 0.1-µF capacitor with a voltage rating of at least 6.3 V is sufficient. The X7R and X5R MLCCs provide

the best performance.

8.1.8 Output Voltage

The output voltage is set using the following equation where R2 is connected between the FB pin and GND, and

R1 is connected between VOUT and the FB pin in Equation 22. A good starting value for R2 is 1 kΩ.

(22)

8.1.9 Feedforward Capacitor (Optional)

A feedforward capacitor (CFF) can improve the transient response of the converter. Place CFF in parallel with R1.

The value of CFF must place a zero in the loop response at, or above, the pole of the output capacitor and RLOAD

as calculated in Equation 23. The CFF capacitor increases the crossover frequency of the design, thus a larger

minimum output capacitance is required for designs using CFF. CFF must only be used with an output capacitance

greater than or equal to 44 µF.

(25)

To determine the most significant power losses, see the following equations. Other losses totaling less than 2%

are not discussed.

Power loss (PLOSS) is the sum of two basic types of losses in the converter, switching and conduction.

Conduction losses usually dominate at higher output loads, where as switching losses remain relatively fixed and

dominate at lower output loads. The first step in determining the losses is to calculate the duty cycle (D) with

Equation 26.

(26)

VDS is the voltage drop across the internal NFET when it is on, and is equal to Equation 27.

VDS = IOUT × RDSON (27)

VDis the forward voltage drop across the Schottky diode. It can be obtained from the Electrical Characteristics

section of the Schottky diode data sheet. If the voltage drop across the inductor (VDCR) is accounted for, the

equation changes to Equation 28.

(28)

VDCR usually gives only a minor duty cycle change, and has been omitted in the examples for simplicity.

8.1.10.1 Schottky Diode Conduction Losses

The conduction losses in the free-wheeling Schottky diode are calculated with Equation 29.

PDIODE = VD1 × IOUT (1 – D) (29)

Often this is the single most significant power loss in the circuit. Care must be taken to choose a Schottky diode

that has a low forward voltage drop.

8.1.10.2 Inductor Conduction Losses

Another significant external power loss is the conduction loss in the output inductor. The equation can be

simplified to Equation 30.

PIND = IOUT2× RDCR (30)

8.1.10.3 MOSFET Conduction Losses

The LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 conduction loss is mainly associated with the internal NFET calculated with

Equation 31.

PCOND = IOUT2× RDSON × D (31)

8.1.10.4 MOSFET Switching Losses

Switching losses are also associated with the internal NFET. They occur during the switch on and off transition

periods, where voltages and currents overlap resulting in power loss. The simplest means to determine this loss

is to empirically measuring the rise and fall times (10% to 90%) of the switch at the switch node with

Equation 32,Equation 33, and Equation 34. Typical values are listed in Table 2.

PSWF = 1 / 2 (VIN × IOUT × fSW × tFALL) (32)

PSWR = 1 / 2 (VIN × IOUT × fSW × tRISE) (33)

PSW = PSWF + PSWR (34)

8.1.10.5 IC Quiescent Losses

Another loss is the power required for operation of the internal circuitry calculated with Equation 35.

PQ= IQ× VIN (35)

IQis the quiescent operating current, and is typically around 2.4 mA.

8.1.10.6 MOSFET Driver Losses

The other operating power that needs calculation is that required to drive the internal NFET with Equation 36.

PBOOST = IBOOST × VBOOST (36)

VBOOST is normally between 3 VDC and 5 VDC. The IBOOST rms current is dependant on switching frequency fSW.

IBOOST is approximately 8.2 mA at 2 MHz and 4.4 mA at 1 MHz.

8.1.10.7 Total Power Losses

Total power losses is calculated with Equation 37.

PLOSS = PCOND + PSWR + PSWF + PQ+ PBOOST + PDIODE + PIND (37)

Losses internal to the LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 is calculated with Equation 38.

PINTERNAL = PCOND + PSWR + PSWF + PQ+ PBOOST (38)

With this information, we can estimate the junction temperature of the LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1.

8.1.10.9 Calculating Junction Temperature

The thermal definitions are:

• TJ= IC junction temperature

• TA= Ambient temperature

• RθJC = Thermal resistance from IC junction to device case

• RθJA = Thermal resistance from IC junction to ambient air

Figure 32. Cross-Sectional View of Integrated Circuit Mounted on a Printed Circuit Board

Heat in the LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 due to internal power dissipation is removed through conduction and/or

convection.

8.1.10.9.1 Conduction

Heat transfer occurs through cross sectional areas of material. Depending on the material, the transfer of heat

can be considered to have poor-to-good thermal conductivity properties (insulator versus conductor).

Heat transfer goes from Silicon →Lead Frame →PCB.

8.1.10.9.2 Convection

Heat transfer is by means of airflow. This could be from a fan or natural convection. Natural convection occurs

when air currents rise from the hot device to cooler air.

Thermal impedance is defined with Equation 48.

(48)

Thermal impedance from the silicon junction to the ambient air is defined with Equation 49.

This impedance can vary depending on the thermal properties of the PCB. This includes PCB size, weight of

copper used to route traces , the ground plane, and the number of layers within the PCB. The type and number

of thermal vias can also make a large difference in the thermal impedance. Thermal vias are necessary in most

applications. They conduct heat from the surface of the PCB to the ground plane. Six to nine thermal vias must

be placed under the exposed pad to the ground plane. Placing more than nine thermal vias results in only a

small reduction to RθJA for the same copper area. These vias must have 8-mil holes to avoid wicking solder away

from the DAP. See AN-1187 Leadless Leadframe Package (SNOA401) and AN-1520 A Guide to Board Layout

for Best Thermal Resistance for Exposed Packages (SNVA183) for more information on package thermal

performance. If a compromise for cost needs to be made, the thermal vias for the MSOP-PowerPAD package

can range from 8 mils to 14 mils, increasing the possibility of solder wicking.

To predict the silicon junction temperature for a given application, three methods can be used. The first is useful

before prototyping and the other two can more accurately predict the junction temperature within the application.

8.1.10.9.3 Method 1

The first method predicts the junction temperature by extrapolating a best guess RθJA from the table or graph.

The tables and graph are for natural convection. The internal dissipation can be calculated using the efficiency

calculations. This allows the user to make a rough prediction of the junction temperature in their application.

8.1.10.9.4 Method 2

The second method requires the user to know the thermal impedance of the silicon junction to case. RθJC is

approximately 9.5°C/W for the MSOP-PowerPAD package or 9.1°C/W for the WSON. The case temperature

must be measured on the bottom of the PCB at a thermal through directly under the DAP of the LM2734x and

LM2734x-Q1. The solder resist must be removed from this area for temperature testing. The reading is more

accurate if it is taken midway between pins 2 and 9, where the NMOS switch is placed. Knowing the internal

dissipation from Method 1, calculate the case temperature (TC) with Equation 50 and Equation 51.

(50)

TJ= (RθJC × PLOSS)+TC(51)

8.1.10.9.4.1 Method 2 Example

The operating conditions are the same as the previous efficiency calculation listed in Table 6.

Table 6. Operating Conditions for Efficiency Calculation

OPERATING PARAMETERS

VIN = 12 V VOUT = 3.3 V IOUT = 2 A

fSW = 2 MHz VD1 = 0.5 V RDCR = 20 mΩ

The junction temperature can now be estimated with Equation 57.

TJ= (RθJC × PINTERNAL)+TC(57)

A TI MSOP-PowerPAD evaluation board was used to determine the TJof the LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1. The

four layer PCB is constructed using FR4 with 2-oz copper traces. There is a ground plane on the internal layer

directly beneath the device, and a ground plane on the bottom layer. The ground plane is accessed by fourteen

10-mil vias. The board measures 2 in × 2 in (50.8 mm × 50.8 mm). It was placed in a container with no airflow.

The case temperature measured on this LM27342MY Demo Board was 48.7°C. Therefore, TJis calculated with

Equation 58 and Equation 59.

TJ= (9.5°C/W × 733 mW) + 48.7°C (58)

TJ= 55.66°C (59)

To keep the junction temperature below 125°C for this layout, the ambient temperature must stay below

94.33°C as in Equation 60,Equation 61, and Equation 62.

TA_MAX = TJ_MAX – TJ+TA(60)

TA_MAX = 125°C – 55.66°C + 25°C (61)

TA_MAX = 94.33°C (62)

8.1.10.9.5 Method 3

The third method can also give a very accurate estimate of silicon junction temperature. The first step is to

determine RθJA of the application. The LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 has overtemperature protection circuitry.

When the silicon temperature reaches 165°C, the device stops switching. The protection circuitry has a

hysteresis of 15°C. Once the silicon temperature has decreased to approximately 150°C, the device starts

switching again. Knowing this, the RθJA for any PCB can be characterized during the early stages of the design

by raising the ambient temperature in the given application until the circuit enters thermal shutdown. If the SW-

pin is monitored, it is obvious when the internal NFET stops switching indicating a junction temperature of 165°C.

We can calculate the internal power dissipation from the above methods. All that is required for calculation is the

estimate of RDSON at 165°C. The value is approximately 0.267 Ω. With this, the junction temperature, and the

ambient temperature, RθJA, can be determined with Equation 63.

(63)

Once this is determined, the maximum ambient temperature allowed for a desired junction temperature can be

found.

8.1.10.9.5.1 Method 3 Example

The operating conditions are the same as the previous efficiency calculation listed in Table 7.

Table 7. Operating Conditions for Efficiency Calculation

OPERATING PARAMETERS

VIN = 12 V VOUT = 3.3 V IOUT = 2A

= 37 mW (67)

PINTERNAL = PCOND + PSW + PQ+ PBOOST = 881 mW (68)

A TI MSOP-PowerPAD evaluation board was used to determine the RθJA of the board. The four-layer PCB is

constructed using FR4 with 2oz copper traces. There is a ground plane on the internal layer directly beneath the

device, and a ground plane on the bottom layer. The ground plane is accessed by fourteen 10-mil vias. The

board measures 2 in × 2 in (50.8 mm × 50.8 mm). It was placed in an oven with no forced airflow.

The ambient temperature was raised to 132°C, and at that temperature, the device went into thermal shutdown.

RθJA can be calculated with Equation 69.

(69)

To keep the junction temperature below 125°C for this layout, the ambient temperature must stay below 92°C as

in Equation 70,Equation 71, and Equation 72.

TA_MAX = TJ_MAX – (RθJA × PINTERNAL) (70)

TA_MAX = 125°C – (37.46°C/W × 0.881 W) (71)

TA_MAX = 92°C (72)

This calculation of the maximum ambient temperature is only 2.3°C different from the calculation using method 2.

The methods described above to find the junction temperature in the MSOP-PowerPAD package can also be

used to calculate the junction temperature in the WSON package. The 10-pin WSON package has a

RθJC = 9.1°C/W, while RθJA can vary depending on the layout. RθJA can be calculated in the same manner as

described in method 3.

The device must be able to operate at any voltage within the recommended operating range. The load current

must be defined to properly size the inductor, input, and output capacitors. The inductor must be able to handle

the full expected load current as well as the peak current generated during load transients and start-up. The

inrush current at start-up depends on the output capacitor selection.

9 Power Supply Recommendations

The input voltage is rated as 3 V to 18 V; however, take care in certain circuit configurations (for example,

VBOOST derived from VIN where the requirement that VBOOST – VSW < 5.5 V must be observed). Also, for the best

efficiency, VBOOST must be at least 2.5 V above VSW. The voltage on the enable pin must not exceed VIN by more

than 0.3 V.

10 Layout

10.1 Layout Guidelines

10.1.1 Compact Layout

The performance of any switching converter depends as much upon the layout of the PCB as the component

selection. The following guidelines help the user design a circuit with maximum rejection of outside EMI and

minimum generation of unwanted EMI.

Parasitic inductance can be reduced by keeping the power path components close together and keeping the

area of the loops small, on which high currents travel. Short, thick traces or copper pours (shapes) are best. In

particular, the switch node (where L1, D1, and the SW pin connect) must be just large enough to connect all

three components without excessive heating from the current it carries. The LM2734x and LM2734x-Q1 operate

in two distinct cycles (see Figure 27) whose high current paths are shown in Figure 58.

Figure 58. Buck Converter Current Loops

The dark grey, inner loop represents the high current path during the MOSFET on-time. The light grey, outer loop

represents the high current path during the off-time.

10.1.2 Ground Plane and Shape Routing

The diagram of Figure 58 is also useful for analyzing the flow of continuous current versus the flow of pulsating

currents. The circuit paths with current flow during both the on-time and off-time are considered to be continuous

current, while those that carry current during the on-time or off-time only are pulsating currents. Preference in

routing must be given to the pulsating current paths, as these are the portions of the circuit most likely to emit

EMI. The ground plane of a PCB is a conductor and return path, and it is susceptible to noise injection just like

any other circuit path. The path between the input source and the input capacitor and the path between the catch

diode and the load are examples of continuous current paths. In contrast, the path between the catch diode and

the input capacitor carries a large pulsating current. This path must be routed with a short, thick shape,

preferably on the component side of the PCB. Multiple vias in parallel must be used right at the pad of the input

capacitor to connect the component side shapes to the ground plane. A second pulsating current loop that is

often ignored is the gate drive loop formed by the SW and BOOST pins and boost capacitor CBOOST. To minimize

this loop and the EMI it generates, keep CBOOST close to the SW and BOOST pins.

10.1.3 FB Loop

The FB pin is a high-impedance input, and the loop created by R2, the FB pin and ground must be made as

small as possible to maximize noise rejection. R2 must therefore be placed as close as possible to the FB and

GND pins of the IC.

Layout Guidelines (continued)

10.1.4 PCB Summary

1. Minimize the parasitic inductance by keeping the power path components close together and keeping the

area of the high-current loops small.

2. The most important consideration when completing the layout is the close coupling of the GND connections

of the CIN capacitor and the catch diode D1. These ground connections must be immediately adjacent, with

multiple vias in parallel at the pad of the input capacitor connected to GND. Place CIN and D1 as close to the

IC as possible.

3. Next in importance is the location of the GND connection of the COUT capacitor, which must be near the GND

connections of CIN and D1.

4. There must be a continuous ground plane on the copper layer directly beneath the converter. This reduces

parasitic inductance and EMI.

5. The FB pin is a high impedance node and care must be taken to make the FB trace short to avoid noise

pickup and inaccurate regulation. The feedback resistors must be placed as close as possible to the IC, with

the GND of R2 placed as close as possible to the GND of the IC. The VOUT trace to R1 must be routed away

from the inductor and any other traces that are switching.

6. High AC currents flow through the VIN, SW and VOUT traces, so they must be as short and wide as possible.

However, making the traces wide increases radiated noise, so the layout designer must make this trade-off.

Radiated noise can be decreased by choosing a shielded inductor.

The remaining components must also be placed as close as possible to the IC. See AN-1229 SIMPLE

SWITCHER® PCB Layout Guidelines (SNVA054) for further considerations and the LM27342 demo board as an

example of a four-layer layout.

remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have

full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products

used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with

respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous

consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and

take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will

thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.

TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,

including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to

assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any

way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource

solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.

TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI

products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,

enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically

described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.

Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that

include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE

TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or

other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information

regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or

endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the

third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.

TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR

REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF

MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL

PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,

INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF

PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,

DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN

CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN

ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949

and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.

Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such

products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards

and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must

ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in

life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.

Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life

support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all

medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.

TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).

Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications

and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory

requirements in connection with such selection.

Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-

compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
