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.
This application note describes how to use STODDO1, a complete power management for
BIu-ray disc players, based on high density optical storage devices. It integrates two stepdown converters and one step-up.
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.

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

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

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.

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.
