uP9616

3.3A Charger Interf ace, W ide Input Sensorless CC/CV
Synchronous-Rectified Buck Converter

for QC2.0/QC3.0/PE+1.1/PE+2.0 And FCP

The uP9616 is a high-efficiency synchronous-rectified buck
converter with an internal power switch. With internal low
RDS(ON) switches, the high-efficiency buck converter is
ca pable of delivering up to 3.3A output current for charger
interface a nd a wide input voltage range from 8V to 32V . It
operates in either CV (Consta nt Output Voltage) mode or
CC (Constant Output Current) mode a nd provides a current
limitation function. The uP9616 has a constant output
voltage 5.2V/9V/12V for Qualcomm® Quick ChargeTM 3.0/

2.0(QC2.0/QC3.0) that is detected from D+ a nd D- line and
automatically detects whether a connected Powered Device
(PD) is Quick Charge (QC2.0/QC3.0) capable before
enabling output voltage adjustment. If a PD not compli ant
to Quick Charge (QC2.0/QC3.0) is detected, the uP9616
disables output voltage adjustment to ensure safe operation
with legacy 5.2V only USB PDs.
uP9616 is a USB secondary side fa st-charging converter,
supporting Qualcomm® Quick ChargeTM 3.0 (QC 3.0) High
Voltage Dedicated Charging Port (HVDCP) Class A
specification.
uP9616 allows for selection of the output voltage of a n AC/
DC USB adapter based on commands from the Portable
Device (PD) being powered. Selecting a higher charging
voltage will reduce the charging current for a given power
level resulting in reduced IR drops and increased system
efficiency. Another advantage of QC3.0 is a decreased
battery charging time and a reduced PD system cost tha nks
to the ability to select an opti mum charging voltage. This
eliminates the need f or costly DC/DC converters within the
PD. The USB-bus voltage can be controlled in discreet
steps from 3.6 V up to 12.1V. The output current is limited
not to exceed maximum allowable power level.
Other features for the buck converter include internal soft­start, adjustable external CC (Constant Output Current)
limit setting, built-in fixed line-compensation, short circuit
protection, VIN/VOUT over voltage protection, and over
temperature protection. It is available in space saving
V DF N6x5-8L a nd V DF N5x6-10L pa ckages.

CV/CC Mode Control

The uP9616 provides CV/CC function. It operates in either
CV (Consta nt Output V oltage) mode or CC (Constant Output
Current) mode. The function provides a current limitation
function and adjusts external current limit setting
(Default=3.3A). In the CV mode, the output voltage is
controlled within +1.5%. In the CC mode, the output current
variation is less tha n +3% of the nominal value which can
be set up to 3.3A by the current sen sing resistor.
When Output current increa se until it reache s the CC limit
set by the R
transition from regulating output voltage to regulating output
current, and the output voltage will drop with increasing
load.

The CC (Constant Output Current) limit is set at 3.3A by
default with an external re sista nce R
the (SENSE1+) - (SENSE1-) voltage gets higher than
130mV and re aches the current limit, the driver is turned
off. The CC (Consta nt Output Current) limit is set a ccording
to the following equation:

CC (Constant Output Current) Li mit

Output Cable Resistance Compensation

In charger applications, the large load will cause voltage
drop in the output cable. The uP9616 ha s a built-in ca ble
compensation function. When the load increases, the
cable compensator will increa se a n adjustable regulation
of the error amplifier that can make the output voltage
constant. Use the curve and table to adjust internal the
reference voltage values for fixed USB cable compensation
by outside resistance R

Current Limit Protection

The uP9616 continuously monitors the inductor current,
when the inductor current is higher than current limit

threshold, the current limit function activates and forces
the upper switch turning off to limit inductor current cycle
by cycle.

Output Short Circuit Protection

The uP9616 provides output short circuit protection func-
tion. Once the output loader short-circuits, the SCP will
be triggered then always hiccup, the hiccup cycle time is
set by an internal counter. When the SCP condition is

removed or disa ppears, the converter will resume normal

operation and the hiccup status will terminate.

Output Over V oltage Protection

The uP9616 provides output over voltage protection. Once
the output voltage (mea sured the at SENSE- pin) gets higher
than OVP thre shold, the OVP will be triggered to shut down
the converter. When the OVP condition disappears, the
converter will resume normal operation and resume the
normal state automatically .

Over Temperature Protection

The OTP is triggered and shuts down the uP9616 if the
junction temperature is higher than 150oC The OTP is a
non-latch type protection. The uP9616 automatically
initiates a nother soft start cycle if the junction temperature
drops below 130oC.

High V oltage Dedicated Charging Port (HV DCP) Mode

After power-up pins D+ and D- of uP9616 are shorted with
impedance R
set to V
mode. If a portable device compatible with the Qualcomm
Quick Charge specification is connected, a negotiation
between HV DCP and PD is executed. Once the negotiation
is successful the uP9616 opens D+ and D- short connection
and D- is pulled down with a R
HV DCP mode. It monitors D+ and D- in puts. Based on the
specified control patterns, the internal voltage reference
value V
voltage to the required value.

The uP9616 is available in Cla ss A version. Cla ss A allows
to change the output voltage up to VBUS = 12V. If the
unplug event is detected the decoder circuitry turns-on a n
internal current sink, which discharges the output ca pacitors
to a safe voltage level. If the uP9616 is set to a Continuous
mode it responds to the PD requests in a Single request
mode. It does not support Group request mode.

HV DCP Continuous Mode

The continuous mode of operation leverages the previously
unused state in QC2.0. If the portable devices try and utilize
this mode, it applies voltages on D+ and D- per Table 2.
Assuming the HV DCP supports this mode of operation, it
will glitch filter the request as it currently does, using
T GLITCH_V_CHANGE(40ms). Before the portable device
can begin to increment or decrement the voltage, it must
wait TV_NEW_REQUEST_CONT before pulling D+ and D­high or low. Once this ti me has f inished, the portable device
now attempts to increment or decrement the voltage. To
increment, the portable device sends a pulse of width
T ACTIVE by pulling D+ to VDP_UP and then must return
D+ to VDP_SRC for TINACTIVE.

Output Inductor Selection

Output inductor selection is usually based on the
considerations of inductance, rated current value, size
requirements and DC resista nce (DCR).

The inductance is chosen based on the desired ripple
current. Large value inductors result in lower ripple currents
and small value inductors result in higher ri pple currents.
Higher VIN or V
shown in the equation below. A reasonable starting point
for setting ripple current is ∆IL = 900mA (30% of 3000mA).

=∆

I

L

Maximum current ratings of the inductor are generally
specified in two methods: permissible DC current and
saturation current. Permissible DC current is the allowa ble
DC current that causes 40oC temperature raise. The
saturation current is the allowable current that causes 10%
inductance loss. Make sure that the inductor will not
saturate over the operation conditions including temperature
range, input voltage ra nge, and maxi mum output current. If
possible, choose an inductor with rated current higher tha n
5A so that it will not saturate even under current limit
condition.

The size requirements refer to the area and height
requirement for a particular design. For better efficiency ,
choose a low DC resistance inductor. DCR is usually
inversely proportional to size.

Different core materials and shapes will change the size,
current and price/current relationshi p of an inductor . Toroid
or shielded pot cores in ferrite or permalloy materials are
small and don’t radiate much energy, but generally cost
more than powdered iron core inductors with similar ele ctrical
characteristics. The choice of which style inductor to use
often depends on the price vs. size requirements and a ny
radiated field/EMI requirements.

Input Capacitor Selection

The input capacitor needs to be carefully selected to
maintain sufficiently low ripple at the supply input of the
converter. A low ESR capacitor is highly recommended.
Since large current flows in and out of this ca pa citor during
switching, its ESR also affects efficiency.

The input ca pacita nce needs to be higher tha n 22uF . The
best choice is he ceramic type and low ESR electrolytic
types may also be used provided that the RMS ripple
current rating is higher than 50% of the output current. In
the case of the electrolytic type s, they can be further away
if a small parallel 1uF ceramic capacitor is placed right
close to the IC. A 100uF elecrolytic capacitor and 1uF
ceramic capacitor are recommended a nd placed close to
VIN a nd GND pins, with the shorte st tra ces possible.

Output Capacitor Selection

The ESR of the output capacitor determines the output
ripple voltage and the initi al voltage drop following a high
slew rate load transient edge. The output ripple voltage
can be calculated as:

Where f

The ceramic ca pa citor with low ESR value provides the low

0.1uF ceramic ca pa citor at output SENSE- terminal for good
performance and place output capacitors as close as
possible to the device.

PCB Layout Consideration

The PCB layout is an importa nt ste p to maintain the high
performance of the uP9616. High switching frequencie s
and relatively large pea k currents make the PCB layout a
very important part of all high frequency switching power
supply design. Both the high current and the fa st switching
nodes demand full attention to the PCB layout to save the
robustness of the uP9616 through the PCB layout.
Improper layout might show the symptoms of poor load or
lineregulation, radiate excessive noise at ground or input,
output voltage shifts, stability issues, unsatisfying EMI
behavior or worsened efficiency. Follow the PCB layout
guidelines for optiomal performa nces of uP9616.

6. Use a short trace connecting R-C to LX (Pin 8) a nd Exposed Pa d GND Plane to form a Snubber Circuit.

7. The LX (Pin 8) pad is the noise node switching from VIN (Pin 1, 2) to GND. LX node copper area should be
minimized to reduce EMI and should be isolated from the re st of circuit for good EMI a nd low noise operation.

8. The D+ (Pin 3) pad a nd D- (Pin 4) pad of the uP9616 are the USB detect data line in put node, the D+ a nd D- Pin of
the via or tra ce area should be isolated using 0.96mm spa ce to prevent direct conta ct with VIN area components
which may cause voltage of D+ a nd D- pins to exceed maximum rating of 6V.
