  general description the max15020 high-voltage step-down dc-dc con- verter operates over an input voltage range of 7.5v to 40v. the device integrates a 0.2 high-side switch and is capable of delivering 2a load current with excellent load and line regulation. the output is dynamically adjustable from 0.5v to 36v through the use of an exter- nal reference input (refin). the max15020 consumes only 6a in shutdown mode. the device utilizes feed-forward voltage-mode architec- ture for good noise immunity in the high-voltage switch- ing environment and offers external compensation for maximum flexibility. the switching frequency is selec- table to 300khz or 500khz and can be synchronized to an external clock signal of 100khz to 500khz by using the sync input. the ic features a maximum duty cycle of 95% (typ) at 300khz. the device includes configurable undervoltage lockout (uvlo) and soft-start. protection features include cycle-by-cycle current limit, hiccup-mode for output short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. the max15020 is available in a 20-pin tqfn 5mm x 5mm package and is rated for operation over the -40c to +125c temperature range. applications printer head driver power supply automotive power supply industrial power supply step-down power supply features ? wide 7.5v to 40v input voltage range ? 2a output current, up to 96% efficiency ? dynamic programmable output voltage (0.5v to 36v) ? maximum duty cycle of 95% (typ) at 300khz ? 100khz to 500khz synchronizable sync frequency range ? configurable uvlo and soft-start ? low-noise, voltage-mode step-down converter ? programmable output-voltage slew rate ? lossless constant current limit with fixed timeout to hiccup mode ? extremely low-power consumption (< 6? typ) in shutdown mode ? 20-pin (5mm x 5mm) thin qfn package max15020 2a, 40v step-down dc-dc converter with dynamic output-voltage programming ________________________________________________________________ maxim integrated products 1 ordering information max15020 on/off in dvreg v out (0.5v to 36v) lx refout refin ep ss pwm input v in (7.5v to 40v) bst fb comp sync gnd fsel pgnd reg typical operating circuit 19-0811; rev 1; 5/11 for pricing, delivery, and ordering information, please contact maxim direct at 1-888-629-4642, or visit maxim? website at www.maxim-ic.com. + denotes a lead(pb)-free/rohs-compliant package. * ep = exposed pad. part temp range pin-package max15020atp+ -40c to +125c 20 tqfn-ep* pin configuration appears at end of data sheet. evaluation kit available

max15020 2a, 40v step-down dc-dc converter with dynamic output-voltage programming ______________________________________________________________________________________ 11 soft-start (ss) at startup, after v in is applied and the uvlo threshold is reached, a 15a (typ) current is sourced into the capacitor (c ss ) connected from ss to gnd forcing the v ss voltage to ramp up slowly. if v refin is set to a dc voltage or has risen faster than the c ss charge rate, then v ss will stop rising once it reaches v refin . if v refin rises at a slower rate, v ss will follow the v refin voltage rise rate. v out rises at the same rate as v ss since v fb follows v ss . set the soft-start time (t ss ) using following equation: where t ss is in seconds and c ss is in farads. reference input and output (refin, refout) the max15020 features a reference input for the inter- nal error amplifier. the ic regulates fb to the ss voltage which is driven by the dc voltage applied to refin. connect refin to refout to use the internal 0.98v ref- erence. connect refin to a variable dc voltage source to dynamically control the output voltage. alternatively, refin can also be driven by a duty-cycle control pwm source through a lowpass rc filter (figure 2). internal digital power supply (dvreg) dvreg is the supply input for the internal digital power supply. the power for dvreg is derived from the out- put of the internal regulator (reg). connect a 10 resistor from reg to dvreg. bypass dvreg to gnd with at least a 1f ceramic capacitor. error amplifier the output of the internal error amplifier (comp) is available for frequency compensation (see the compensation design section). the inverting input is fb, the noninverting input is ss, and the output is comp. the error amplifier has an 80db open-loop gain and a 1.8mhz gbw product. when an external clock is used, connect fsel to reg. oscillator/synchronization input (sync) with sync connected to gnd, the ic uses the internal oscillator and switches at a fixed frequency of 300khz or 500khz based upon the selection of fsel. for external synchronization, drive sync with an external clock from 100khz to 500khz and connect fsel to reg. when dri- ven with an external clock, the device synchronizes to the rising edge of sync. pwm comparator/voltage feed-forward an internal ramp generator is compared against the output of the error amplifier to generate the pwm sig- nal. the maximum amplitude of the ramp (v ramp ) auto- matically adjusts to compensate for input voltage and oscillator frequency changes. this causes the v in / v ramp to be a constant 9v/v across the input voltage range of 7.5v to 40v and the sync frequency range of 100khz to 500khz. this simplifies loop compensation design by allowing large input voltage ranges and large frequency range selection. output short-circuit protection (hiccup mode) the max15020 protects against an output short circuit by utilizing hiccup-mode protection. in hiccup mode, a series of sequential cycle-by-cycle current-limit events cause the part to shut down and restart with a soft-start sequence. this allows the device to operate with a con- tinuous output short circuit. during normal operation, the switch current is measured cycle-by-cycle. when the current limit is exceeded, the internal power mosfet turns off until the next on-cycle and the hiccup counter increments. if the counter counts four consecutive overcurrent limit events, the device discharges the soft-start capacitor and shuts down for 512 clock periods before restarting with a soft- start sequence. each time the power mosfet turns on and the device does not exceed the current limit, the counter is reset. thermal-overload protection the max15020 features an integrated thermal-over- load protection. thermal-overload protection limits the total power dissipation in the device and protects it in the event of an extended thermal fault condition. when the die temperature exceeds +160c, an internal ther- mal sensor shuts down the part, turning off the power mosfet and allowing the ic to cool. after the temper- ature falls by 20c, the part restarts beginning with the soft-start sequence. t vc a ss refin ss = 15

max15020 2a, 40v step-down dc-dc converter with dynamic output-voltage programming ______________________________________________________________________________________ 13 input capacitor selection the discontinuous input current of the buck converter causes large input ripple currents and therefore the input capacitor must be carefully chosen to keep the input-voltage ripple within design requirements. the input-voltage ripple is comprised of v q (caused by the capacitor discharge) and v esr (caused by the esr (equivalent series resistance) of the input capacitor). the total voltage ripple is the sum of v q and v esr . calculate the input capacitance and esr required for a specified ripple using the following equations: where: i out_max is the maximum output current, d is the duty cycle, and f sw is the switching frequency. the max15020 includes internal and external uvlo hysteresis and soft-start to avoid possible unintentional chattering during turn-on. however, use a bulk capaci- tor if the input source impedance is high. use enough input capacitance at lower input voltages to avoid pos- sible undershoot below the uvlo threshold during transient loading. output capacitor selection the allowable output-voltage ripple and the maximum deviation of the output voltage during load steps deter- mine the output capacitance and its esr. the output ripple is mainly composed of v q (caused by the capacitor discharge) and v esr (caused by the volt- age drop across the esr of the output capacitor). the equations for calculating the peak-to-peak output volt- age ripple are: normally, a good approximation of the output-voltage ripple is v ripple v esr + v q . if using ceramic capacitors, assume the contribution to the output-volt- age ripple from esr and the capacitor discharge to be equal to 20% and 80%, respectively. i l is the peak-to- peak inductor current (see the input capacitor selection section) and f sw is the converters switching frequency. the allowable deviation of the output voltage during fast load transients also determines the output capaci- tance, its esr, and its equivalent series inductance (esl). the output capacitor supplies the load current during a load step until the controller responds with a greater duty cycle. the response time (t response ) depends on the closed-loop bandwidth of the converter (see the compensation design section). the resistive drop across the output capacitors esr, the drop across the capacitors esl ( v esl ), and the capacitor discharge cause a voltage droop during the load step. use a combination of low-esr tantalum/aluminum elec- trolytic and ceramic capacitors for better transient load and voltage ripple performance. surface-mount capaci- tors and capacitors in parallel help reduce the esl. keep the maximum output-voltage deviations below the tolerable limits of the electronics powered. use the fol- lowing equations to calculate the required esr, esl, and capacitance value during a load step: where i step is the load step, t step is the rise time of the load step, and t response is the response time of the controller. esr v i c it v esl v esr step out step response q e = = = s sl step step t i ? v i cf v esr i q l out sw esr l = = 16 i vv v vf l d v v l in out out in sw out in = = ?

max15020 2a, 40v step-down dc-dc converter with dynamic output-voltage programming 14 ______________________________________________________________________________________ compensation design the max15020 uses a voltage-mode control scheme that regulates the output voltage by comparing the error-amplifier output (comp) with an internal ramp to produce the required duty cycle. the output lowpass lc filter creates a double pole at the resonant frequen- cy, which has a gain drop of -40db/decade. the error amplifier must compensate for this gain drop and phase shift to achieve a stable closed-loop system. the basic regulator loop consists of a power modulator, an output feedback divider, and a voltage error amplifi- er. the power modulator has a dc gain set by v in / v ramp , with a double pole and a single zero set by the output inductance (l), the output capacitance (c out ) (c6 in the figure 2) and its esr. the power modulator incorporates a voltage feed-forward feature, which auto- matically adjusts for variations in the input voltage resulting in a dc gain of 9. the following equations define the power modulator: the switching frequency is internally set at 300khz or 500khz, or can vary from 100khz to 500khz when driven with an external sync signal. the crossover frequency (f c ), which is the frequency when the closed-loop gain is equal to unity, should be set as f sw / 2 or lower. the error amplifier must provide a gain and phase bump to compensate for the rapid gain and phase loss from the lc double pole. this is accomplished by utiliz- ing a type 3 compensator that introduces two zeros and three poles into the control loop. the error amplifier has a low-frequency pole (f p1 ) near the origin. in reference to figures 3 and 4, the two zeros are at: and the higher frequency poles are at: compensation when f c < f esr figure 3 shows the error-amplifier feedback as well as its gain response for circuits that use low-esr output capacitors (ceramic). in this case f zesr occurs after f c . f z1 is set to 0.8 x f lc(mod) and f z2 is set to f lc to com- pensate for the gain and phase loss due to the double pole. choose the inductor (l) and output capacitor (c out ) as described in the inductor selection and output capacitor selection sections. choose a value for the feedback resistor r9 in figure 3 (values between 1k and 10k are adequate). c12 is then calculated as: f c occurs between f z2 and f p2 . the error-amplifier gain (g ea ) at f c is due primarily to c11 and r9. therefore, g ea(fc) = 2 x f c x c11 x r9 and the modu- lator gain at f c is: since g ea(fc) x g mod(fc) = 1, c11 is calculated by: f p2 is set at 1/2 the switching frequency (f sw ). r6 is then calculated by: since r7 >> r6, r7 + r6 can be approximated as r7. r7 is then calculated as: f p3 is set at 5 x f c . therefore, c13 is calculated as: c c crf p 13 12 2129 1 3 = ? r fc lc 7 1 211 = r cf sw 6 1 21105 = . c flc rg cout mod dc 11 2 9 = () g g lc f mod fc mod dc out c () () () = 2 22 c fr lc 12 1 208 9 = . f rc and f r cc cc pp 23 1 2611 1 29 12 13 12 1 = = + 3 3 ? ? ? ? ? ? f rc and f rr c zz 12 1 2912 1 26711 = = + () g v v f lc f c mod dc in ramp lc esr out () == = = 9 1 2 1 2 e esr
