3 Description

The LM2678 series of regulators are monolithic

integrated circuits which provide all of the active

functions for a step-down (buck) switching regulator

capable of driving up to 5-A loads with excellent line

and load regulation characteristics. High efficiency

(>90%) is obtained through the use of a low ON-

resistance DMOS power switch. The series consists

of fixed output voltages of 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V and

an adjustable output version.

The SIMPLE SWITCHER®concept provides for a

complete design using a minimum number of external

components. A high fixed frequency oscillator

(260 kHz) allows the use of physically smaller sized

components. A family of standard inductors for use

with the LM2678 are available from several

manufacturers to greatly simplify the design process.

The LM2678 series also has built-in thermal

shutdown, current limiting, and an ON/OFF control

input that can power down the regulator to a low 50-

μA quiescent current standby condition. The output

voltage is ensured to a ±2% tolerance. The clock

frequency is controlled to within a ±11% tolerance.

7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview

The LM2678 provides all of the active functions required for a step-down (buck) switching regulator. The internal

power switch is a DMOS power MOSFET to provide power supply designs with high current capability, up to 5 A,

and highly efficient operation.

The LM2678 is part of the SIMPLE SWITCHER®family of power converters. The design support WEBENCH,

can also be used to provide instant component selection, circuit performance calculations for evaluation, a bill of

materials component list and a circuit schematic for LM2678.

7.2 Functional Block Diagram

7.3 Feature Description

7.3.1 Switch Output

This is the output of a power MOSFET switch connected directly to the input voltage. The switch provides energy

to an inductor, an output capacitor and the load circuitry under control of an internal pulse-width-modulator

(PWM). The PWM controller is internally clocked by a fixed 260-kHz oscillator. In a standard step-down

application the duty cycle (Time ON/Time OFF) of the power switch is proportional to the ratio of the power

supply output voltage to the input voltage. The voltage on pin 1 switches between Vin (switch ON) and below

ground by the voltage drop of the external Schottky diode (switch OFF).

LM2678

SNVS029K –MARCH 2000–REVISED FEBRUARY 2017

Product Folder Links: LM2678

Feature Description (continued)

7.3.2 Input

The input voltage for the power supply is connected to pin 2. In addition to providing energy to the load the input

voltage also provides bias for the internal circuitry of the LM2678. For ensured performance the input voltage

must be in the range of 8 V to 40 V. For best performance of the power supply the input pin must always be

bypassed with an input capacitor located close to pin 2.

7.3.3 C Boost

A capacitor must be connected from pin 3 to the switch output, pin 1. This capacitor boosts the gate drive to the

internal MOSFET above VIN to fully turn it ON. This minimizes conduction losses in the power switch to maintain

high efficiency. The recommended value for C Boost is 0.01 μF.

7.3.4 Ground

This is the ground reference connection for all components in the power supply. In fast-switching, high-current

applications such as those implemented with the LM2678, TI recommends that a broad ground plane be used to

minimize signal coupling throughout the circuit.

7.3.5 Feedback

This is the input to a two-stage high gain amplifier, which drives the PWM controller. It is necessary to connect

pin 6 to the actual output of the power supply to set the DC output voltage. For the fixed output devices (3.3-V, 5-

V and 12-V outputs), a direct wire connection to the output is all that is required as internal gain setting resistors

are provided inside the LM2678. For the adjustable output version two external resistors are required to set the

DC output voltage. For stable operation of the power supply it is important to prevent coupling of any inductor

flux to the feedback input.

7.3.6 ON/OFF

This input provides an electrical ON/OFF control of the power supply. Connecting this pin to ground or to any

voltage less than 0.8 V is completely turn OFF the regulator. The current drain from the input supply when OFF

is only 50 μA. Pin 7 has an internal pullup current source of approximately 20 μA and a protection clamp Zener

diode of 7 V to ground. When electrically driving the ON/OFF pin the high voltage level for the ON condition

should not exceed the 6 V absolute maximum limit. When ON/OFF control is not required pin 7 should be left

open circuited.

7.4 Device Functional Modes

7.4.1 Shutdown Mode

The ON/OFF pin provides electrical ON and OFF control for the LM2678. When the voltage of this pin is lower

than 1.4 V, the device enters shutdown mode. The typical standby current in this mode is 45 μA.

7.4.2 Active Mode

When the voltage of the ON/OFF pin is higher than 1.4 V, the device starts switching and the output voltage rises

until it reaches a normal regulation voltage.

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 Design Considerations

Power supply design using the LM2678 is greatly simplified by using recommended external components. A wide

range of inductors, capacitors, and Schottky diodes from several manufacturers have been evaluated for use in

designs that cover the full range of capabilities (input voltage, output voltage, and load current) of the LM2678. A

simple design procedure using nomographs and component tables provided in this data sheet leads to a working

design with very little effort.

The individual components from the various manufacturers called out for use are still just a small sample of the

vast array of components available in the industry. While these components are recommended, they are not

exclusively the only components for use in a design. After a close comparison of component specifications,

equivalent devices from other manufacturers could be substituted for use in an application.

Important considerations for each external component and an explanation of how the nomographs and selection

tables were developed follows.

8.1.2 Inductor

The inductor is the key component in a switching regulator. For efficiency the inductor stores energy during the

switch ON time and then transfers energy to the load while the switch is OFF.

Nomographs are used to select the inductance value required for a given set of operating conditions. The

nomographs assume that the circuit is operating in continuous mode (the current flowing through the inductor

never falls to zero). The magnitude of inductance is selected to maintain a maximum ripple current of 30% of the

maximum load current. If the ripple current exceeds this 30% limit the next larger value is selected.

The inductors offered have been specifically manufactured to provide proper operation under all operating

conditions of input and output voltage and load current. Several part types are offered for a given amount of

inductance. Both surface mount and through-hole devices are available. The inductors from each of the three

manufacturers have unique characteristics.

• Renco: ferrite stick core inductors; benefits are typically lowest cost and can withstand ripple and transient

peak currents above the rated value. These inductors have an external magnetic field, which may generate

EMI.

• Pulse Engineering: powdered iron toroid core inductors; these also can withstand higher than rated currents

and, being toroid inductors, have low EMI.

• Coilcraft: ferrite drum core inductors; these are the smallest physical size inductors and are available only as

surface mount components. These inductors also generate EMI but less than stick inductors.

8.1.3 Output Capacitor

The output capacitor acts to smooth the DC output voltage and also provides energy storage. Selection of an

output capacitor, with an associated equivalent series resistance (ESR), impacts both the amount of output ripple

voltage and stability of the control loop.

The output ripple voltage of the power supply is the product of the capacitor ESR and the inductor ripple current.

The capacitor types recommended in the tables were selected for having low ESR ratings.

In addition, both surface mount tantalum capacitors and through-hole aluminum electrolytic capacitors are offered

as solutions.

SNVS029K –MARCH 2000–REVISED FEBRUARY 2017

Product Folder Links: LM2678

Application Information (continued)

Impacting frequency stability of the overall control loop, the output capacitance, in conjunction with the inductor,

creates a double pole inside the feedback loop. In addition the capacitance and the ESR value create a zero.

These frequency response effects together with the internal frequency compensation circuitry of the LM2678

modify the gain and phase shift of the closed-loop system.

As a general rule for stable switching regulator circuits it is desired to have the unity gain bandwidth of the circuit

to be limited to no more than one-sixth of the controller switching frequency. With the fixed 260-kHz switching

frequency of the LM2678, the output capacitor is selected to provide a unity gain bandwidth of 40 kHz maximum.

Each recommended capacitor value has been chosen to achieve this result.

In some cases multiple capacitors are required either to reduce the ESR of the output capacitor, to minimize

output ripple (a ripple voltage of 1% of VOUT or less is the assumed performance condition), or to increase the

output capacitance to reduce the closed loop unity gain bandwidth (to less than 40 kHz). When parallel

combinations of capacitors are required it has been assumed that each capacitor is the exact same part type.

The RMS current and working voltage (WV) ratings of the output capacitor are also important considerations. In a

typical step-down switching regulator, the inductor ripple current (set to be no more than 30% of the maximum

load current by the inductor selection) is the current that flows through the output capacitor. The capacitor RMS

current rating must be greater than this ripple current. The voltage rating of the output capacitor should be

greater than 1.3 times the maximum output voltage of the power supply. If operation of the system at elevated

temperatures is required, the capacitor voltage rating may be de-rated to less than the nominal room temperature

rating. Careful inspection of the manufacturer's specification for de-rating of working voltage with temperature is

important.

8.1.4 Input Capacitor

Fast changing currents in high current switching regulators place a significant dynamic load on the unregulated

power source. An input capacitor helps to provide additional current to the power supply as well as smooth out

input voltage variations.

Like the output capacitor, the key specifications for the input capacitor are RMS current rating and working

voltage. The RMS current flowing through the input capacitor is equal to one-half of the maximum DC load

current so the capacitor should be rated to handle this. Paralleling multiple capacitors proportionally increases

the current rating of the total capacitance. The voltage rating should also be selected to be 1.3 times the

maximum input voltage. Depending on the unregulated input power source, under light load conditions the

maximum input voltage could be significantly higher than normal operation and should be considered when

selecting an input capacitor.

The input capacitor must be placed very close to the input pin of the LM2678. Due to relative high current

operation with fast transient changes, the series inductance of input connecting wires or PCB traces can create

ringing signals at the input terminal which could possibly propagate to the output or other parts of the circuitry. It

may be necessary in some designs to add a small valued (0.1 μF to 0.47 μF) ceramic type capacitor in parallel

with the input capacitor to prevent or minimize any ringing.

8.1.5 Catch Diode

When the power switch in the LM2678 turns OFF, the current through the inductor continues to flow. The path for

this current is through the diode connected between the switch output and ground. This forward biased diode

clamps the switch output to a voltage less than ground. This negative voltage must be greater than −1 V so a low

voltage drop (particularly at high current levels) Schottky diode is recommended. Total efficiency of the entire

power supply is significantly impacted by the power lost in the output catch diode. The average current through

the catch diode is dependent on the switch duty cycle (D) and is equal to the load current times (1-D). Use of a

diode rated for much higher current than is required by the actual application helps to minimize the voltage drop

and power loss in the diode.

During the switch ON time the diode will be reversed biased by the input voltage. The reverse voltage rating of

the diode must be at least 1.3 times greater than the maximum input voltage.

Application Information (continued)

8.1.6 Boost Capacitor

The boost capacitor creates a voltage used to overdrive the gate of the internal power MOSFET. This improves

efficiency by minimizing the ON-resistance of the switch and associated power loss. For all applications it is

recommended to use a 0.01-μF, 50-V ceramic capacitor.

8.1.7 Additional Application Information

When the output voltage is greater than approximately 6 V, and the duty cycle at minimum input voltage is

greater than approximately 50%, the designer should exercise caution in selection of the output filter

components. When an application designed to these specific operating conditions is subjected to a current limit

fault condition, it may be possible to observe a large hysteresis in the current limit. This can affect the output

voltage of the device until the load current is reduced sufficiently to allow the current limit protection circuit to

reset itself.

Under current limiting conditions, the LM267x is designed to respond in the following manner:

1. At the moment when the inductor current reaches the current limit threshold, the ON-pulse is immediately

terminated. This happens for any application condition.

2. However, the current limit block is also designed to momentarily reduce the duty cycle to below 50% to avoid

subharmonic oscillations, which could cause the inductor to saturate.

3. Thereafter, once the inductor current falls below the current limit threshold, there is a small relaxation time

during which the duty cycle progressively rises back above 50% to the value required to achieve regulation.

If the output capacitance is sufficiently large, it may be possible that as the output tries to recover, the output

capacitor charging current is large enough to repeatedly re-trigger the current limit circuit before the output has

fully settled. This condition is exacerbated with higher output voltage settings because the energy requirement of

the output capacitor varies as the square of the output voltage (½ CV2), thus requiring an increased charging

current.

A simple test to determine if this condition might exist for a suspect application is to apply a short circuit across

the output of the converter, and then remove the shorted output condition. In an application with properly

selected external components, the output will recover smoothly.

Practical values of external components that have been experimentally found to work well under these specific

operating conditions are COUT = 47 µF, L = 22 µH. It should be noted that even with these components, for a

device’s current limit of ICLIM, the maximum load current under which the possibility of the large current limit

hysteresis can be minimized is ICLIM/2. For example, if the input is 24 V and the set output voltage is 18 V, then

for a desired maximum current of 1.5 A, the current limit of the chosen switcher must be confirmed to be at least

3 A.

Under extreme overcurrent or short circuit conditions, the LM267X employs frequency foldback in addition to the

current limit. If the cycle-by-cycle inductor current increases above the current limit threshold (due to short circuit

or inductor saturation for example) the switching frequency is automatically reduced to protect the IC. Frequency

below 100 kHz is typical for an extreme short-circuit condition.

Get more information about WEBENCH tools at www.ti.com/WEBENCH.

Using the nomographs and tables in this data sheet (or use the available design software at www.ti.com) a

complete step-down regulator can be designed in a few simple steps.

Step 1: Define the power supply operating conditions:

• Required output voltage

• Maximum DC input voltage

• Maximum output load current

Step 2: Set the output voltage by selecting a fixed output LM2678 (3.3-V, 5-V, or 12-V applications) or determine

the required feedback resistors for use with the adjustable LM2678−ADJ

Step 3: Determine the inductor required by using one of the four nomographs, Figure 17 through Figure 20.

Table 3 provides a specific manufacturer and part number for the inductor.

Step 4: Using Table 5 (fixed output voltage) or Table 9 (adjustable output voltage), determine the output

capacitance required for stable operation. Table 1 provides the specific capacitor type from the manufacturer of

choice.

Step 5: Determine an input capacitor from Table 5 for fixed output voltage applications. Use Table 1 to find the

specific capacitor type. For adjustable output circuits select a capacitor from Table 1 with a sufficient working

voltage (WV) rating greater than VIN max, and an RMS current rating greater than one-half the maximum load

current (2 or more capacitors in parallel may be required).

Step 6: Select a diode from Table 4. The current rating of the diode must be greater than ILOAD max and the

reverse voltage rating must be greater than VIN maximum.

Step 7: Include a 0.01-μF, 50-V capacitor for CBOOST in the design.

8.2.2 Fixed Output Voltage Design Example

Figure 21. Basic Circuit for Fixed Output Voltage Applications

8.2.2.1 Detailed Design Procedure

A system logic power supply bus of 3.3 V is to be generated from a wall adapter which provides an unregulated

DC voltage of 13 V to 16 V. The maximum load current is 4 A. Through-hole components are preferred.

Step 1: Operating conditions are:

• VOUT = 3.3 V

• VIN max = 16 V

• ILOAD max = 4 A

Step 2: Select a LM2678 3.3-V. The output voltage has a tolerance of ±2% at room temperature and ±3% over

the full operating temperature range.

Step 3: Use the nomograph for the 3.3-V device, Figure 17. The intersection of the 16-V horizontal line (Vin max)

and the 4-A vertical line (Iload max) indicates that L46, a 15-μH inductor, is required.

From Table 3, L46 in a through-hole component is available from Renco with part number RL-1283-15-43.

Step 4: Use Table 5 to determine an output capacitor. With a 3.3-V output and a 15-μH inductor there are four

through-hole output capacitor solutions with the number of same type capacitors to be paralleled and an

identifying capacitor code given. Table 1 provides the actual capacitor characteristics. Any of the following

choices work in the circuit:

• 2 × 220-μF, 10-V Sanyo OS-CON (code C5)

• 2 × 820-μF, 16-V Sanyo MV-GX (code C5)

• 1 × 3900-μF, 10-V Nichicon PL (code C7)

• 2 × 560-μF, 35-V Panasonic HFQ (code C5)

Step 5: Use Table 5 to select an input capacitor. With 3.3-V output and 15 μH there are three through-hole

solutions. These capacitors provide a sufficient voltage rating and an RMS current rating greater than 2 A (1/2

Iload max). Again using Table 1 for specific component characteristics the following choices are suitable:

• 2 × 680-μF, 63-V Sanyo MV-GX (code C13)

• 1 × 1200-μF, 63-V Nichicon PL (code C25)

• 1 × 1500-μF, 63-V Panasonic HFQ (code C16)

Step 6: From Table 4 a 5-A or more Schottky diode must be selected. For through-hole components only 40-V

rated diodes are indicated and 4 part types are suitable:

• 1N5825

• MBR745

• 80SQ045

• 6TQ045

Step 7: A 0.01-μF capacitor is used for CBOOST.

8.2.3 Adjustable Output Design Example

Figure 22. Basic Circuit for Adjustable Output Voltage Applications

8.2.3.1 Detailed Design Procedure

In this example it is desired to convert the voltage from a two battery automotive power supply (voltage range of

20 V to 28 V, typical in large truck applications) to the 14.8-VDC alternator supply typically used to power

electronic equipment from single battery 12-V vehicle systems. The load current required is 3.5 A maximum. It is

also desired to implement the power supply with all surface mount components.

Step 1: Operating conditions are:

• VOUT = 14.8 V

• VIN max = 28 V

• ILOAD max = 3.5 A

Step 2: Select an LM2678S-ADJ. To set the output voltage to 14.9-V two resistors need to be chosen (R1 and

R2 in Figure 22). For the adjustable device the output voltage is set by Equation 1.

where

• VFB is the feedback voltage of typically 1.21 V (1)

A recommended value to use for R1 is 1k. In this example then R2 is determined with Equation 2.

where

• R2 = 11.23 kΩ(2)

The closest standard 1% tolerance value to use is 11.3 kΩ.

This sets the nominal output voltage to 14.88 V which is within 0.5% of the target value.

Step 3: To use the nomograph for the adjustable device, Figure 20, requires a calculation of the inductor Volt •

microsecond constant (E • T expressed in V • μS) from Equation 3.

where

• VSAT is the voltage drop across the internal power switch which is Rds(ON) times Iload (3)

(1) No. represents the number of identical capacitor types to be connected in parallel.

(2) C Code indicates the Capacitor Reference number in Table 1 and Table 2 for identifying the specific component from the manufacturer.

(3) Set to a higher value for a practical design solution.

In this example this would be typically 0.12 Ω× 3.5 A or 0.42 V and VDis the voltage drop across the forward

biased Schottky diode, typically 0.5 V. The switching frequency of 260 kHz is the nominal value to use to

estimate the ON time of the switch during which energy is stored in the inductor.

For this example, E • T is found with Equation 4 and Equation 5.

(5)

Using Figure 20, the intersection of 27 V • μS horizontally and the 3.5 A vertical line (ILOAD max) indicates that

L48 , a 47-μH inductor, or L49, a 33-μH inductor could be used. Either inductor will be suitable, but for this

example selecting the larger inductance results in lower ripple current.

From Table 3, L48 in a surface mount component is available from Pulse Engineering with part number P0848.

Step 4: Use Table 9 to determine an output capacitor. With a 14.8-V output the 12.5 to 15 V row is used and with

a 47-μH inductor there are three surface mount output capacitor solutions. Table 1 provides the actual capacitor

characteristics based on the C Code number. Any of the following choices can be used:

• 1 × 33-μF, 20-V AVX TPS (code C6)

• 1 × 47-μF, 20-V Sprague 594 (code C8)

• 1 × 47-μF, 20-V Kemet T495 (code C8)

NOTE

When using the adjustable device in low voltage applications (less than 3-V output), if the

nomograph Figure 20 selects an inductance of 22 μH or less Table 9 and Table 10 do not

provide an output capacitor solution. With these conditions the number of output

capacitors required for stable operation becomes impractical. TI recommends using either

a 33-μH or 47-μH inductor and the output capacitors from Table 9 and Table 10.

Step 5: An input capacitor for this example requires at least a 35-V WV rating with an RMS current rating of

1.75 A (1/2 IOUT max). Table 1 shows that C12, a 33-μF, 35-V capacitor from Sprague, has the highest voltage

and current rating of the surface mount components and that two of these capacitor in parallel are adequate.

Step 6: From Table 4 a 5-A or more Schottky diode must be selected. For surface mount diodes with a margin of

safety on the voltage rating one of two diodes can be used:

• MBRD1545CT

• 6TQ045S

Step 7: A 0.01-μF capacitor is used for CBOOST.

9 Power Supply Recommendations

The LM2678 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply up to 40 V. This input supply must be well

regulated and able to withstand maximum input current and maintain a stable voltage.

10 Layout

10.1 Layout Guidelines

Board layout is critical for the proper operation of switching power supplies. First, the ground plane area must be

sufficient for thermal dissipation purposes. Second, appropriate guidelines must be followed to reduce the effects

of switching noise. Switch mode converters are very fast switching devices. In such cases, the rapid increase of

input current combined with the parasitic trace inductance generates unwanted L di/dt noise spikes. The

magnitude of this noise tends to increase as the output current increases. This noise may turn into

electromagnetic interference (EMI) and can also cause problems in device performance. Therefore, take care in

layout to minimize the effect of this switching noise. The most important layout rule is to keep the AC current

loops as small as possible. Figure 23 shows the current flow in a buck converter. The top schematic shows a

dotted line which represents the current flow during the top switch ON-state. The middle schematic shows the

current flow during the top switch OFF-state. The bottom schematic shows the currents referred to as AC

currents. These AC currents are the most critical because they are changing in a very short time period. The

dotted lines of the bottom schematic are the traces to keep as short and wide as possible. This will also yield a

small loop area reducing the loop inductance. To avoid functional problems due to layout, review the PCB layout

example. Best results are achieved if the placement of the LM2679 device, the bypass capacitor, the Schottky

diode, RFBB, RFBT, and the inductor are placed as shown in the example. Note that, in the layout shown, R1 =

RFBB and R2 = RFBT. It is also recommended to use 2-oz. copper boards or heavier to help thermal dissipation

and to reduce the parasitic inductances of board traces. See AN-1229 SIMPLE SWITCHER® PCB Layout

Guidelines for more information.
