Monolithic power management for high definition ODD with
true shutdown, reset, and programmable step-up voltage
Introduction
Blu-ray disc players have grown rapidly in popularity due to the increasing availability of digital services and high definition digital media content.
The step-down converters are optimized for powering Iow-voltage digital core, up to 0.8 A, in ODD applications and, generally, to replace a high current linear solution when the power dissipation may cause an overheating of the application environment.
The step-up provides the needed voltage for supplying the blue laser in mobile applications where only 5 V is available. The output voltage is programmable, by using S-wire protocol, in the range of 6.5 V to 14 V, with a current capability of 0.7 A.

obtaining high efficiency.
The enable function for the step-up section, and reset function for monitoring the input voltage, make the device particularly suitable for optical storage applications.
The high switching frequency (1.2 MHz typ.) allows the use of tiny surface-mounted components. Furthermore, a low output ripple is guaranteed by the current mode PWM topology and by the use of X7R or X5R and low ESR SMD ceramic capacitors.
The device includes soft-start control, thermal shutdown, and peak current limit, to prevent damage due to accidental overload.

2.1 Layout considerations

The layout is an important design step for all switching power supplies due to the high switching frequency and peak current. If the layout is not performed carefully, important parameters such as efficiency and output voltage ripple may be out of specification.
Short, wide traces must be implemented for the main current and for power ground paths. The input capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the IO pins as well as the inductor and output capacitor.
The feedback pin (FB) connection to the external resistor divider is a high impedance node, so interference can be minimized by placing the routing of the feedback node as far as possible from the high current paths. To reduce pick-up noise, the resistor divider must be placed very close to the device.
A common ground node minimizes ground noise. The exposed pad of the package must be connected to the common ground node.

2.2 Programming the output voltage

The output voltage for the step-up (ch1) can be adjusted from 6.5 V up to 14 V by connecting a resistor divider between the V must be connected to the FB1 pin, as shown in

is programmable, by using S-wire protocol, in the range of 0.8 V to 1.25 V (see

It is recommended to use a resistor with a value in the range of 1 k
Ω to 50 kΩ. Lower values
may also be suitable, but increase current consumption.
For ch2 the device integrates the resistor divider needed to set the correct output voltage (3.3 V). This allows to save 2 external components. The FB2 pin must be connected directly to V

The output voltage for ch3 can be adjusted from 0.8 V up to 94 % of the input voltage value by connecting a resistor divider between the V must be connected to the FB3 pin, as shown in

3.2 Inductor selection

The inductor is the key passive component for switching converters. The inductor selection must take the boundary conditions in which the converter works into consideration; for the buck, the maximum input voltage, and for the boost, the minimum input voltage. The critical inductance values are then obtained according to the following formulas:
for the step-down:

can be set at 20 % - 40 % of the output current for the step-down and can be set at 20 % ­40 % of the input current for the step-up.
The peak current of the inductor must be calculated as:

3.3 Input and output capacitor selection

It is recommended to use ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectric and Iow ESR as input and output capacitors in order to filter any disturbance present in the input line and to obtain stable operation. The output capacitor is very important to satisfy the output voltage ripple requirement.
