LM2650 Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC Converter
LM2650 Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC Converter
June 1999
General Description
The LM2650 is a step-down DC/DC converter featuring high efficiency over a 3A to milliamperes load range. This feature makes the LM2650 an ideal fit in battery-powered applica­tions that demand long battery life in both run and standby modes.
The LM2650 alsofeatures a logic-controlled shutdown mode in which it draws at most 25µA from the input power supply.
The LM2650 employs a fixed-frequency pulse-width modula­tion (PWM) and synchronous rectification to achieve very high efficiencies. In many applications, efficiencies reach 95%+ for loads around 1A and exceed 90%for moderate to heavy loads from 0.2A to 2A.
A low-power hysteretic or sleepmode keeps efficiencies high at light loads. The LM2650 enters and exits sleep mode automatically as the load crosses sleep inand sleep out thresholds. The LM2650 provides nodes for programming both thresholds via external resistors. A logic input allows the user to override the automatic sleep feature and keep the LM2650 in PWM mode regardless of the load level.
An optional soft-start feature limits current surges from the input power supply at start up and provides a simple means of sequencing multiple power supplies.

Pins Description
1, 12 SUB: These pins make electrical contact with the substrate of the die. Ground them. For best thermal
performance, ground them to the same large, uninterrupted copper plane as the PGND pins.
2 SLEEP LOGIC: Use this logic input to select the conversion mode; low selects PWM, high selects sleep, and
high impedance (open) permits the LM2650 to move freely and automatically between the modes, using PWM for moderate to heavy loads and sleep for light loads.
3, 4, 9, 10 PGND: The ground return of the power stage. The power stage consists of the two power switches Q1 and
Q2, the gate drivers DH and DL, and the linear voltage regulators VRegH and VRegL. For best electrical and thermal performance, ground these pins to a large, uninterrupted copper plane.
5, 8 SW: The output node of the power stage. It swings from slightly below ground to slightly below the voltage to

Operation
OVERVIEW
The LM2650 uses two step-down conversion modes: fixed-frquency pulse-width modulation (PWM) and hyster­etic. It moves freely and automatically between them, using PWM for moderate to heavy loads and hysteretic for light loads.
For clarity, separate block diagrams for each conversion mode have been included. See Blocks used in both modes appear in both diagrams with the same label. For example, both modes use the input buffer B. To keep the diagrams simple, most power supply rails have been omitted. R3, C10, R are outside the IC.
THE PWM CIRCUIT (
Figure 1
The PWM is a fixed-frequency, voltage-mode pulse-width modulator. It consists of four functional blocks: an input buffer, an error amplifier, a modulator, and a power stage.
1. The input buffer B: B is a voltage follower. A fraction of the output voltage is fed back to its noninverting input FB. Circumventing B by using the COMP input as the feedback input will cause the IC to malfunction.
2. The error amplifier EA: EA is a voltage amplifier. It sub­tracts the feedback voltage from the 1.25V reference and amplifies the difference to produce an error voltage for the control loop. For the purpose of loop compensa­tion, EA is typically configured as an integrator. In this configuration, a capacitor C nected in series between the inverting input COMP and the output terminal EA OUT.The capacitor and the inter­nal 6.5kresistor create a pole, while the capacitor and series resistor create a zero.
The modulator generates a continuous stream of rectan­gular, signal-level. It generates the pulses at a fixed fre­quency, and it modulates or varies their widths in re­sponse to variations in the error voltage. The pulses appear at Q, the output of the SR latch. An increase in the error voltage results in a proportional increase in the pulse widths, and, conversely, a decrease in the error voltage results in a proportional decrease in the pulse widths.
The oscillator produces a 90 kHz sawtooth that ramps between 1V and 2V. At the beginning of each ramp, the oscillator sets the SR latch sending Q high. As the ramp voltage surpasses the error voltage, C1 resets the SR latch sending Q low. An increase in the error voltage in­creases the time between the setting and the resetting of the SR latch which , in turn, results in an equal increase in pulse widths: that is, an equal increase in the time Q spends high in each cycle. A decrease in the error volt­age has the opposite effect on the pulse widths as it de­creases the time between the setting and resetting of the SR latch.
4. The power stage: The power stage puts some punch be­tween the output of the modulator by translating the stream of signal-level pulses generated by the modula­tor into a stream of power pulses that swing from ground up to the input voltage while sinking and sourcing as much as 3.5A. The power stage consists of two gate

and a resistor RCare con-

and

OUT
drivers DH and DL, two linear voltage regulators VRegH and VRegL, and two NMOS power FETs Q1 and Q2.
The power pulses appear at the SW mode. When Q goes high, DL drives the gate of Q2 low turning Q23 off. While Q2 turns off, the SW potential may remain at just below ground as the body diode of Q2 conducts what was previously reverse current (source-to-drain) in Q2, or the SW potential may swing up to just above the input voltage as the body diode of Q1 conducts what was pre-
.
viously forward current (drain-to-source) in Q2. About 50 ns after Q goes high, DH drives the gate of Q1 high turn­ing Q1 on. If the task remains, Q1 pulls the SW potential up, if not, Q1 simply takes over the conduction responsi­bility from its own body diode. When Q goes low, the in­verse action occurs resulting in the SW potential swing­ing from the input voltage to the ground. The 50 ns delay between one switch beginning to turn off and the other switch beginning to turn on prevents the switches from shooting throughdirectly from the input supply to the ground.
The PWM circuit drives the pulse stream into the low-pass filter made up of L1 and C passed the DC component of the stream and attenuates the AC components. The output of the filter is the DC voltage V Since the DC component of any periodic waveforms the average value of the waveform, V ing:

Operation (Continued)
The diode D2 is the body diode of Q2. The hysteretic circuit uses D2 as a rectifier instead of switching Q2 as a synchro­nous rectifier.
When the load current drops below the prescribed sleep-in threshold, the LM2650 shuts down the PWM loop and starts up the hysteretic loop. The hysteretic loop supports light loads more efficiently because it uses less power to support its own operation; it uses less bias power because it’s a sim­pler loop having less circuit blocks to bias, and it switches slower, so it incurs lower switching losses.

the desired output voltage. C2 directs the switching based on its reading of the feedback voltage. Switching in this man­ner yields a regulated voltage consisting of the desired out­put voltage and an AC ripple voltage. The magnitude of the AC component can be approximated using
and switches only when
OUT
back voltage just surpasses the lower hysteretic threshold of C2, the output of C2 changes states from low to high, and DH responds by pulling the gate of Q1 up turning Q1 on and starting the hysteretic cycle over.
Note that as the load current decreases, it takes increasingly longer periods for the load current to discharge C through the hysteretic window, and as the load current in-
OUT
creases, the periods become even shorter. It can be seen from the above observation that the switching frequency of the hysteretic loop varies as the load varies. The switching frequency can be approximated using

When it starts up, the hysteretic loop turns Q1 on. While Q1 is on, the input power supply charges C current to the load. Current from the supply reaches C and
and supplies

the load via the series path provided by Q1 and L1. As the feedback voltage just surpasses the upper hysteretic thresh­old of C2, the output of C2 changes from high to low, and HD responds by pulling the gate of Q1 down turning Q1 off. As Q1 turns off, L1 generates a negative-going voltage transient that D2 clamps at just below ground. D2 remains on only briefly as the current in L1 runs out. While both Q1 and D2 are off, C
alone supplies current to the load. As the feed-
