Description
The SMP402, intended for non-isolated ISDN
telecommunications power supply applications, combines a
high voltage power MOSFET switch with a switchmode power
system controller in a monolithic integrated circuit. Few
external components are required to implement a low cost
power supply which meets stringent ISDN specifications. High
frequency operation reduces total power supply size.
The P-channel power MOSFET switch features include high
voltage, low R
results in a reduction in gate drive power, and also facilitates
higher frequency operation.
The controller section of the SMP402 contains all the blocks
required to drive and control the power stage: start-up preregulator circuit, oscillator, bandgap reference, error amplifier,
gate driver and level shift. Protection features include
undervoltage lockout, thermal shutdown, and input polarity
and level sensing.
The SMP402 is available in a 16-pin plastic SOIC package.

Functional Description
High Voltage Regulator
The high-voltage regulator provides the
bias current required by the controller
and driver circuitry. The pre-regulator
consists of a high voltage MOSFET, a
gate bias current source, and an error
amplifier. The error amplifier regulates
VS to approximately 5 V by controlling
the gate of the MOSFET.
In 5 V output applications, the control
circuitry may also be operated by
connecting the V
V rail of the converter to reduce power
dissipation. The internal 5 V regulator is
cut off automatically when the converter
output is in regulation. Only the supply
pin to the output 5
BIAS
current for the level shift stage (≈50 µA)
and the AC switching currents for the PChannel output device are drawn from
the VIN supply under this condition. If
unused, V
must be hardwired to A
BIAS
GND to disable the automatic switchover
during power-up.
VLS is the level-shift supply for driving
the gate of the internal P-channel
MOSFET. The voltage at VLS is
approximately 10 V below VIN. VS is the
supply voltage for the controller and
driver circuitry. External bypass
capacitors connected to VLS and VS are
required for filtering and reducing noise.
UV Lockout
During power-up, the undervoltage
lockout circuit keeps the P-channel
output transistor in the off state until the
internal VS supply is in regulation and
the voltage sensed by the input monitor
circuit is within the normal operation
range (>12 V).
Band Gap Reference
V
is the 1.3 V reference voltage

generated by the temperature-
compensated bandgap reference and
buffer. This voltage is used for setting
thresholds for the error amplifier and

Functional Description (cont.)
Oscillator
The oscillator frequency can be adjusted
by changing the external C
capacitor.
EXT
This capacitor is charged and discharged
by switched constant current sources.
The voltage switch points are determined
by hysteresis built into a comparator.
The period of the waveform is
determined by values of the current
sources which set the rising and falling
slopes of the sawtooth waveform.
Maximum duty cycle is equal to the ratio
of the charge time to the period. Clock
and blanking signals are synthesized
from the comparator output for use by
the modulator.
Error Amplifier
The error amplifier consists of a high
performance operational amplifier with
the non-inverting input connected to the
internal bandgap reference voltage. The
output of the error amplifier directly
controls the duty cycle of the power
switch.
Pulse Width Modulator
The pulse width modulator implements
a voltage-mode control loop, and
generates the digital driver signal which
controls the power switch. The duty
cycle of the driver signal will change as
a function of input voltage and load.
Increasing the duty cycle causes the
power supply output voltage to go up.
Conversely, decreasing the duty cycle
causes the output voltage to go down.
The pulse width modulator compares
the control voltage (error amplifier
output) with the sawtooth voltage
generated by the oscillator to produce
the required duty cycle.
Thermal Shutdown
Temperature protection is provided by a
precision analog circuit that turns the
power switch off when the junction gets
too hot (typically 140°C). The device
will automatically reset and turn back on
again when the junction has cooled past
the hysteresis temperature level.
SENSE+ and SENSE- Inputs
SENSE+ and SENSE-are both current
mirror inputs consisting of N-channel
MOSFETs connected as diodes. The
threshold voltage of each transistor is
typically 1.7 V. An input current which
exceeds the indicated threshold current
will turn on the mirror transistor for an
active-low signal.
POLARITY and LEVEL Outputs
The LEVEL output is high when the
input current to either SENSE+ or
SENSE- exceeds the LEVEL current
threshold and the output voltage is in
regulation. During normal operation,
the POLARITY output is high when the
input current to SENSE+ is above the
POLARITY current threshold and the
output voltage is in regulation. During
emergency operation (when the DC
input voltage is inverted), the
POLARITY output is low when the input
current to SENSE- exceeds the

Regulation of the output voltage is

slowly changing input voltage is shown
in Figure 4 as measured using the circuit
shown in Figure 6. Also shown are the
level and polarity outputs. The input
voltage must rise above 32 V before the
SMP402 will turn on. At this input
voltage the current through R1 into the
SENSE+ input exceeds the threshold
current (typically 23 µA), the LEVEL
and POLARITY outputs go high, and
INPUT VOLTAGE CONDITIONPOLARITYLEVEL
the power supply turns on. As the input
voltage goes down, LEVEL will go low
at approximately 30 V, but POLARITY
will stay high. As the input voltage
continues to drop, POLARITY goes low
at approximately 12 V and the converter
loses regulation at approximately 10 V
and turns off. The LEVEL output will
go high and the power supply turns on
when the input voltage reaches -32 V.
POLARITY stays low to indicate that
the input voltage has reversed polarity.
As the negative input voltage falls toward
zero, LEVEL goes low at approximately
-30 V and the converter loses regulation
and turns off at approximately -10 V.
Enable
The power supply can be shut down by
pulling the ENABLE pin low. It is
internally pulled up to VS with a 100 µA
(nominal) current source. However, it is
recommended that this pin be tied to V
if it is unused.
P-Channel Output Transistor
The output MOSFET is a 90 V pass
transistor capable of supplying >200
mA. To minimize switching noise and
EMI, it is important to keep the path
from OUT through the output diode, the
input storage capacitor, and into VIN as
short as possible.

General Circuit Operation
The Buck DC-to-DC converter shown
in Figure 6 produces a single non-isolated
5 V, 1 W power supply. The highvoltage P-channel MOSFET transistor
in the SMP402 is turned on and off at the
switching frequency. The ratio of ONtime to the switching period is defined as
the duty cycle. The duty cycle changes
with input voltage to maintain a constant
average value of the switching
waveform. The switching waveform is
filtered by inductor L1 and capacitor C2
to produce the 5 V output. During the
MOSFET ON-time, the switch current
and inductor current ramp up at a linear
rate. During the P channel MOSFET
switch off time, the voltage across L1
reverses, forward biasing D6. Inductor
and diode current then ramp down
linearly until the MOSFET turns on
again. During normal operation,
inductor current ramps up and down
around the average value (I
actually the DC load current.
), which is
OUT
The 5 V output voltage is directly sensed
and accurately regulated by an internal
error amplifier. The error amplifier
generates an error signal which directly
controls the duty cycle of the integrated
high-voltage P-channel MOSFET
switch. The effective output voltage can
be fine-tuned by adjusting the resistor
divider formed by R5 and R6. Other
output voltages are possible (up to
approximately half the input voltage) by
changing the value of L1 as well as the
resistor divider.
Polarity of the DC input voltage can be
either positive or negative. D1, D2, D3,
and D4 “rectify” the DC input voltage to
provide a positive polarity input voltage
for the converter. C1 provides input
voltage filtering. The SMP402 contains
the integrated controller and high-voltage
P-channel MOSFET which, together
with D6, generates a pulse width
modulated switching AC voltage
waveform. L1 and C2 filter the AC
voltage to create the 5 V output. C6
filters high-frequency noise currents. R5
and R6 sense and divide the 5 V output
voltage for comparison with the internal
bandgap reference voltage. C4 and R4
provide control loop compensation
feedback around the internal error
amplifier. C3 bypasses the onboard V
regulator. C11 sets the switching
frequency. R3 is fixed to set internal
currents accurately. C5 bypasses an
internally-generated, level-shifted bias
source of approximately 10 V, which is
referenced to the positive side of the
effective input voltage. This floating
supply is used for biasing the P-channel
MOSFET gate drivers. R1 and R2 sense
the level and polarity of the DC input
voltage. The current through R1 and the
SENSE+ input or R2 and the SENSEinput must exceed 23 µA before the
converter will turn on. R7 and R8
provide hysteresis for the SENSE+ and
SENSE- inputs. Jumper JMP1 disables
the self-bias feature of the SMP402.

General Circuit Operation (cont.)
SMP402
The line and load regulation graphs were
measured on the circuit shown in Figure
6. The switching frequency of the power
supply was measured at 230 kHz.
The maximum output power curve shows
the power output capability for a 470 µH
output filter inductor (L1).
The output power versus frequency curve
was generated by characterization of the
SMP402 at various frequencies. The
curve demonstrates the trade-off between
AC and DC power losses within the
device. As AC losses rise with frequency,
DC losses and output power must be
reduced to maintain the same device
maximum power dissipation.

NOTES:
1. At low output currents (< 20 mA), the part may operate in blocking oscillation mode, resulting in large output ripple.
2. Applying >3.5 V to the EA IN pin activates an internal test circuit that turns on the output switch continuously.
Destruction of the part can occur if the output of the SMP402 is connected to a high voltage power source when the
test circuit is activated.
