The uP6306 is a high efficiency synchronous-rectified buck
converter with internal power switches. Fixed 300kHz PWM
operation allows possible smallest output ripple and
external component size. With high conversion efficiency
and small package, the uP6306 is ideally suitable for
applications where PCB area is especially concerned.
Designed with slope-compensated current mode control,
the uP6306 features fast transient response to step load
change. The converter supports PSM mode operation at
light load condition, thus yields very high efficiency over a
wide range of load current.
With integrated high voltage MOSFET, the uP6306 is
capable of delivering 5A/3A output current over a wide input
range from 5V to 26V. The output voltage is adjustable
from 0.8V to 80% of VIN by a voltage divider.
Other features include internal soft-start, chip enable, undervoltage, over-temperature and over-current protections. The
uP6306 is available in a thermally enhanced PSOP-8
package.

Input Supply Voltage, V
IN
The uP6306 operates with single supply input at VIN pin.
The VIN pin supplies current for output voltages and provides
current for internal control circuit and gate drivers. The
supply voltage range is from 5V to 26V. The uP6306 draws
pulsed current from VIN pin with sharp edges each time
the upper switch turns on, resulting in voltage ripples and
spikes at supply input. A minimum 22uF ceramic capacitor
with shortest PCB trace is highly recommended for
bypassing the supply input.
The uP6306 integrates two 5V linear regulators. A linear
regulator regulates (VIN - VDD5) voltage at 5V for upper
gate driver. The other linear regulator regulates (VCC5 GND) voltage at 5V for internal control circuit and lower
gate driver. Both VDD5 and VCC5 need a minimum 4.7uF
capacitor for locally bypassing the output voltage of linear
regulators.
The VCC5 voltage is continuously monitored for power on
reset (POR) to insure its voltage is high enough for normal
operation. The POR threshold level is typically 4.2V at
VCC5 rising. For fixed VIN = 5V operation, connect VCC5
pin to VIN pin directly. Otherwise the dropout voltage of the
linear regulator will make VCC5 < 4.2V and below its POR
threshold voltage.
connected together to LX pin.
Bias Voltage
Internal linear regulators generate voltages for driving the
power MOSFET and biasing the internal control circuits.
The VDD5 voltage is regulated to -5V with respect to VIN
fro driving the PMOSFET. The gate of PMOSFET is driven
to VDD5 when turned on. A minimum 4.7uF ceramic
capacitor is required from VDD5 to VIN pin for locally
bypassing the VDD5 voltage.
The VCC5 is regulated to +5V with respective to AGND pin
for driving the NMOSFET and biasing the internal control
circuits. The gate of NMOSFET is driven to VCC5 when
turned on. A minimum 4.7uF ceramic capacitor is required
from VCC5 to AGND pin for locally bypassing the VCC5
voltage.
Chip Enable
The COMP/EN is a multifunctional pin: control loop
compensation and chip enable as shown in Figure 1. An
Enable Comparator monitors the COMP/EN pin for chip
enable. A signal level transistor is adequate to pull this pin
down to ground and shut down the uP6306. An 80uA current
source charges the external compensation network with
0.8V ceiling when this pin is released. If the voltage at
COMP/EN pin exceeds 0.5V, the uP6306 initiates its
softstart cycle.
The 80uA current source keeps charging the COMP/EN
pin to its ceiling until the feedback loop boosts the COMP/
EN pin higher than 0.8V according to the feedback signal.
The current source is cut off when V
is higher than

Functional Description
SoftStart
A built-in Soft Start is used to prevent surge current from
power supply input during turn on (referring to the Functional
Block Diagram). The error amplifier is a three-input device.
Reference voltage V
or the internal soft start voltage SS
REF
whichever is smaller dominates the behavior of the noninverting inputs of the error amplifier. SS internally ramps
up to 0.8V in 2ms after the softstart cycle is initiated. The
ramp is created digitally, so there will be 100 small discrete
steps. Accordingly, the output voltage will follow the SS
signal and ramp up smoothly to its target level.
The SS signal keeps ramping up after it exceeds the internal
0.8V reference voltage. However, the internal 0.8V reference
voltage takes over the behavior of error amplifier after SS >
V
. When the SS signal climb to its ceiling voltage (4V),
REF
the uP6306 claims the end of softstart cycle and enable
the under voltage protection of the output voltage.
Figure 2 shows a typical start up interval for uP6306 where
the COMP/EN pin has been released from a grounded
(system shutdown) state.

OUT
The internal 80uA current source starts to charge the
compensation network after the COMP/EN pin is released
from grounded at T1. The COMP/EN exceeds 0.5V and
enables the uP6306 at T2. The COMP/EN continues
ramping up and stays at 0.8V before the SS starts ramping
up at T3. The uP6306 initializes itself such as current limit
level setting (see the relative section) during the time interval
between T2 and T3. The output voltage follows the internal
SS and ramps up to its final level during T3 and T4. At T4,
the reference voltage V
error amplifier as the internal SS crosses V
takes over the behavior of the
REF
. The internal
REF
SS keeps ramping up and stay at 4V at T5, where the
uP6306 asserts the end of softstart cycle.
PWM Operation
The uP6306 adopts slope-compensated, current mode
PWM control capable of achieving 80% duty cycle. During
normal operation, the uP6306 operates at PWM mode to
regulate output voltage by transferring the power to the
output voltage cycle by cycle at a constant 300kHz
frequency. The uP6306 turns on the upper switch at each
rising edge of the internal oscillator allowing the inductor
current to ramp up linearly. The switch remains on until
either the current-limit is tripped or the PWM comparator
turns off the switch for regulating output voltage. The upper
switch current is sensed, slope compensated and
compared with the error amplifier output COMP/EN to
determine the adequate duty cycle. The FB pin senses
output feedback voltage from an external resistive divider.
When the load current increases, it causes a slight
decrease in the feedback voltage relative to the 0.8V
reference, which in turn, causes the error amplifier output
voltage to increase until the average inductor current
matches the new load current.

A Pseudo Diode Emulator monitors inductor current by
sensing voltage drop across the lower switch when it turns
on. The lower switch turns off to emulate the free wheel
diode used in traditional asynchronous buck converter and
allows the converter entering discontinuous conduction
mode when inductor current crosses zero. This reduces
conduction loss and increase power conversion efficiency
at light condition.
PSM Operation
A finite minimum on-time for both upper and lower switches
is implemented for normal operation. Consequently, the
converter will enter pulse-skipping mode (PSM) during
extreme light load condition or when modulation index (V
OUT
VIN) is extreme low. The equivalent switching frequency is
reduced. This could reduce switching loss and further
