PIN DESCRIPTIONS
PIN # 1 PIN SYMBOL BST PIN DESCRIPTION This pin supplies voltage to the high side driver. A high frequency ceramic capacitor of 0.1 to 1 uF must be connected from this pin to SW pin. High side MOSFET gate driver. Ground pin. Low side MOSFET gate driver. For the high current application, a 4.7nF capacitor is recommended to be placed on low side MOSFET's gate to ground. This is to prevent undesired Cdv/dt induced low side MOSFET's turn on to happen, which is caused by fast voltage change on the drain of low side MOSFET in synchronous buck converter and lower the system efficiency. Voltage supply for the internal circuit as well as the low side MOSFET gate driver. A 1uF high frequency ceramic capacitor must be connected from this pin to GND pin. This pin is the error amplifier inverting input. This pin is also connected to the output UVLO comparator. When this pin falls below 0.56V, both HDRV and LDRV outputs are in hiccup. This pin is the output of the error amplifier and together with FB pin is used to compensate the voltage control feedback loop. This pin is also used as a shut down pin. When this pin is pulled below 0.3V, both drivers are turned off and internal soft start is reset. This pin is connected to the source of the high side MOSFET and provides return path for the high side driver. Also SW senses the low side MOSFETS current, when the pin voltage is lower than 360mV for NX2124, 540mV for NX2124A, hiccup will be triggered.

Output Capacitor Selection
Output capacitor is basically decided by the amount of the output voltage ripple allowed during steady state(DC) load condition as well as specification for the load transient. The optimum design may require a couple of iterations to satisfy both condition. Based on DC Load Condition The amount of voltage ripple during the DC load condition is determined by equation(3).
Design Example
The following is typical application for NX2124, the schematic is figure 1. VIN = 5V VOUT=1.8V FS=300kHz IOUT=9A DVRIPPLE <=20mV DVDROOP<=100mV @ 9A step
VRIPPLE = ESR x IRIPPLE +
IRIPPLE 8 x FS x COUT ...(3)
Where ESR is the output capacitors' equivalent series resistance,COUT is the value of output capacitors. Typically when large value capacitors are selected such as Aluminum Electrolytic,POSCAP and OSCON types are used, the amount of the output voltage ripple is dominated by the first term in equation(3) and the second term can be neglected. For this example,electrolytic capacitors are chosen as output capacitors, the ESR and inductor current typically determines the output voltage ripple.
Output Inductor Selection
The selection of inductor value is based on inductor ripple current, power rating, working frequency and efficiency. Larger inductor value normally means smaller ripple current. However if the inductance is chosen too large, it brings slow response and lower efficiency. Usually the ripple current ranges from 20% to 40% of the output current. This is a design freedom which can be decided by design engineer according to various application requirements. The inductor value can be calculated by using the following equations:
ESR desire =
VRIPPLE 20mV = = 7.8m IRIPPLE 2.56A
...(4)
If low ESR is required, for most applications, multiple capacitors in parallel are better than a big capacitor. For example, SANYO electrolytic capacitor 16ME1500WG is chosen.

pacitors, both terms in equation (3) need to be evaluated to determine the overall ripple. Usually when this type of capacitors are selected, the amount of capacitance per single unit is not sufficient to meet the transient specification, which results in parallel configuration of multiple capacitors . For example, one 100uF, X5R ceramic capacitor of output capacitor. For low frequency capacitor such as electrolytic capacitor, the product of ESR and capacitance is high and L L crit is true. In that case, the transient spec is dependent on the ESR of capacitor. In most cases, the output capacitors are multiple capacitors in parallel. The number of capacitors can be calculated by the following
N= ESR E x Istep Vtran + VOUT x 2 2 x L x C E x Vtran
with 2m ESR is used. The amount of output ripple is
VRIPPLE 2.56A = 2mx 2.56A + 8 x 300kHz x 100uF = 15mV

where
Although this meets DC ripple spec, however it needs to be studied for transient requirement. Based On Transient Requirement Typically, the output voltage droop during transient is specified as:

where ESRE and CE represents ESR and capacitance of each capacitor if multiple capacitors are used in parallel. The above equation shows that if the selected output inductor is smaller than the critical inductance, the voltage droop or overshoot is only dependent on the ESR
Rev.1.8 02/28/08

NX2124/2124A
It should be considered that the proposed equation is based on ideal case, in reality, the droop or overshoot is typically more than the calculation. The equation gives a good start. For more margin, more capacitors have to be chosen after the test. Typically, for high frequency capacitor such as high quality POSCAP especially ceramic capacitor, 20% to 100% (for ceramic) more capacitors have to be chosen since the ESR of capacitors is so low that the PCB parasitic can affect the results tremendously. More capacitors have to be selected to compensate these parasitic parameters.

where FZ1,FZ2,FP1 and FP2 are poles and zeros in the compensator. Their locations are shown in figure 4. The transfer function of type III compensator for transconductance amplifier is given by:
Ve 1 - gm x Z f = VOUT 1 + gm x Zin + Z in / R1
Compensator Design
Due to the double pole generated by LC filter of the power stage, the power system has 180o phase shift , and therefore, is unstable by itself. In order to achieve accurate output voltage and fast transient response,compensator is employed to provide highest possible bandwidth and enough phase margin.Ideally,the Bode plot of the closed loop system has crossover frequency between1/10 and 1/5 of the switching frequency, phase margin greater than 50o and the gain crossing 0dB with -20dB/decade. Power stage output capacitors usually decide the compensator type. If electrolytic capacitors are chosen as output capacitors, type II compensator can be used to compensate the system, because the zero caused by output capacitor ESR is lower than crossover frequency. Otherwise type III compensator should be chosen.
For the voltage amplifier, the transfer function of compensator is
Ve -Z f = VOUT Zin
To achieve the same effect as voltage amplifier, the compensator of transconductance amplifier must satisfy this condition: R 4>>2/gm. And it would be desirable if R 1||R2||R3>>1/gm can be met at the same time.

A. Type III compensator design
For low ESR output capacitors, typically such as Sanyo oscap and poscap, the frequency of ESR zero caused by output capacitors is higher than the crossover frequency. In this case, it is necessary to compensate the system with type III compensator. The following figures and equations show how to realize the type III compensator by transconductance amplifier.

B. Type II compensator design
If the electrolytic capacitors are chosen as power stage output capacitors, usually the Type II compensator can be used to compensate the system. Type II compensator can be realized by simple RC circuit without feedback as shown in figure 6. R3 and C1 introduce a zero to cancel the double pole effect. C2 introduces a pole to suppress the switching noise. The following equations show the compensator pole zero location and constant gain.

Input Capacitor Selection
Input capacitors are usually a mix of high frequency ceramic capacitors and bulk capacitors. Ceramic capacitors bypass the high frequency noise, and bulk capacitors supply switching current to the MOSFETs. Usually 1uF ceramic capacitor is chosen to decouple the high frequency noise.The bulk input capacitors are decided by voltage rating and RMS current rating. The RMS current in the input capacitors can be calculated as:
Choose C1=6.8nF. 6. Calculate C 2 by setting compensator pole Fp at half the swithing frequency.

...(19)
VIN = 5V, VOUT=1.8V, IOUT=9A, using equation (19), the result of input RMS current is 4.3A. For higher efficiency, low ESR capacitors are recommended. One Sanyo OS-CON 16SP270M 16V 270uF 18m with 4.4A RMS rating are chosen as input bulk capacitors.
Choose C1=68pF.
Output Voltage Calculation
Output voltage is set by reference voltage and external voltage divider. The reference voltage is fixed at 0.8V. The divider consists of two ratioed resistors so that the output voltage applied at the Fb pin is 0.8V when the output voltage is at the desired value. The following equation and picture show the relationship between
Power MOSFETs Selection
The power stage requires two N-Channel power MOSFETs. The selection of MOSFETs is based on maximum drain source voltage, gate source voltage, maximum current rating, MOSFET on resistance and power dissipation. The main consideration is the power loss contribution of MOSFETs to the overall converter efficiency. In this design example, two IRFR3706 are used. They have the following parameters: V DS=30V, ID =75A,RDSON =9m,QGATE =23nC. There are two factors causing the MOSFET power loss:conduction loss, switching loss. Conduction loss is simply defined as: 12

If MOSFET RDSON=9m, the worst case thermal consideration K=1.5, then
ISET = 320mV 360mV = = 26.7A K x RDSON 1.5 x 9m
where the RDS(ON) will increases as MOSFET junction temperature increases, K is RDS(ON) temperature dependency. As a result, RDS(ON) should be selected for the worst case, in which K approximately equals to 1.4 at 125oC according to IRFR3706 datasheet. Conduction loss should not exceed package rating or overall system thermal budget. Switching loss is mainly caused by crossover conduction at the switching transition. The total switching loss can be approximated.
Layout Considerations
The layout is very important when designing high frequency switching converters. Layout will affect noise pickup and can cause a good design to perform with less than expected results. There are two sets of components considered in the layout which are power components and small signal components. Power components usually consist of input capacitors, high-side MOSFET, low-side MOSFET, inductor and output capacitors. A noisy environment is generated by the power components due to the switching power. Small signal components are connected to sensitive pins or nodes. A multilayer layout which includes power plane, ground plane and signal plane is recommended . Layout guidelines: 1. First put all the power components in the top layer connected by wide, copper filled areas. The input capacitor, inductor, output capacitor and the MOSFETs should be close to each other as possible. This helps to reduce the EMI radiated by the power loop due to the high switching currents through them. 2. Low ESR capacitor which can handle input RMS ripple current and a high frequency decoupling ceramic cap which usually is 1uF need to be practically touching the drain pin of the upper MOSFET, a plane connection is a must. 3. The output capacitors should be placed as close as to the load as possible and plane connection is required. 4. Drain of the low-side MOSFET and source of the high-side MOSFET need to be connected thru a plane ans as close as possible. A snubber nedds to be placed as close to this junction as possible. 5. Source of the lower MOSFET needs to be con-
1 x VIN x IOUT x TSW x FS ...(21) 2 where IOUT is output current, TSW is the sum of TR and TF which can be found in mosfet datasheet, and FS is switching frequency. Switching loss PSW is frequency dependent. Also MOSFET gate driver loss should be considered when choosing the proper power MOSFET. MOSFET gate driver loss is the loss generated by discharging the gate capacitor and is dissipated in driver circuits.It is proportional to frequency and is defined as: PSW =
Pgate = (QHGATE x VHGS + QLGATE x VLGS ) x FS
...(22)
where QHGATE is the high side MOSFETs gate charge,QLGATE is the low side MOSFETs gate charge,VHGS is the high side gate source voltage, and VLGS is the low side gate source voltage. This power dissipation should not exceed maximum power dissipation of the driver device.
Over Current Limit Protection
Over current Limit for step down converter is achieved by sensing current through the low side MOSFET. For NX2124, the current limit is decided by the RDSON of the low side mosfet. When synchronous FET is on, and the voltage on SW pin is below 360mV, the over current occurs. The over current limit can be calculated by the following equation.

The same applies to the frequency signals. output capacitors and input capacitors. 6. Hdrv and Ldrv pins should be as close to 9. All GNDs need to go directly thru via to GND plane. 10. The feedback part of the system should be kept

A place for gate drv resistors is needed placed close to the IC. to fine tune noise if needed. 11. In multilayer PCB, separate power ground and 7.
