Switching Regulator for Chopper Type DC/DC Converter
Description
HA16116FP/FPJ and HA16121FP/FPJ are dual-channel PWM switching regulator controller ICs for use in
chopper-type DC/DC converters.
This IC series incorporates totem pole gate drive circuits to allow direct driving of a power MOS FET. The
output logic is preset for booster, step-down, or inverting control in a DC/DC converter. This logic
assumes use of an N-channel power MOS FET for booster control, and a P-channel power MOS FET for
step-down or inverting control.
HA16116 includes a built-in logic circuit for step-down control only, and one for use in both step-down
and inverting control. HA16121 has a logic circuit for booster control only and one for both step-down and
inverting control.
Both ICs have a pulse-by-pulse current limiter, which limits PWM pulse width per pulse as a means of
protecting against overcurrent, and which uses an on/off timer for intermittent operation. Unlike
conventional methods that use a latch timer for shutdown, when the pulse-by-pulse current limiter
continues operation beyond the time set in the timer, the IC is made to operate intermittently (flickering
operation), resulting in sharp vertical setting characteristics. When the overcurrent condition subsides, the
output is automatically restored to normal.
The dual control circuits in the IC output identical triangle waveforms, for completely synchronous
configuring a compact, high efficiency dual-channel DC/DC converter, with fewer external components
than were necessary previously.

HA16116FP/FPJ, HA16121FP/FPJ
The triangle wave is a voltage waveform used as a reference in creating a PWM pulse. This block operates
according to the following principles. A constant current IO, determined by an external timing resistor RT,
is made to flow continuously to external timing capacitor CT. When the CT pin voltage exceeds the
comparator threshold voltage VH, the comparator output causes a switch to operate, discharging a current I
from CT. Next, when the CT pin voltage drops below threshold voltage VL, the comparator output again
causes the switch to operate, stopping the IO discharge. The triangle wave is generated by this repeated
operation.
O
Note that IO = 1.1 V/RT. Since the IO current mirror circuit has a very limited current producing ability, R
should be set to ≥ 5 kΩ (IO ≥ 220 µA).
With this IC series, VH and VL of the triangle wave are fixed internally at about 1.6 V and 1.0 V by the
internal resistors RA, RB, and RC. The oscillator frequency can be calculated as follows.

2.3 Error Amplifier
Figure 2.3 shows an equivalent circuit of the error amplifier. The error amplifier on these ICs is configured
of a simple NPN transistor differential input amplifier and the output circuit of a constant-current driver.
This amplifier features wide bandwidth (fT = 4 MHz) with open loop gain kept to 50 dB, allowing stable
feedback to be applied when the power supply is designed. Phase compensation is also easy.
Both HA16116 and HA16121 have a noninverting input (IN(+)) pin, in order to allow use of the channel 1
error amplifier for inverting control. The channel 2 error amplifier, on the other hand, is used for stepdown control in HA16116 and booster control in HA16121; so the channel 2 noninverting input is
connected internally to Vref.

3. Dead Band (DB) Duty and Soft Start Setting (common to both channels)
3.1 Dead Band Duty Setting
Dead band duty is set by adjusting the DB pin input voltage (VDB). A convenient means of doing this is to
connect two external resistors to the Vref of this IC so as to divide VDB (see figure 3.1).

3.2 Soft Start (SST) Setting (each channel)
When the power is turned on, the soft start function gradually raises VDB (refer to section 3.1), and the
PWM output pulse width gradually widens. This function is realized by adding a capacitor CST to the DB
pin. The function is realized as follows.
