DESCRIPTION
The SP7653 is a synchronous step-down switching regulator optimized for high efficiency. The part is designed to be
especially attractive for dual supply, 12V to 20V distributed power systems stepped down with 5V used to power the
controller. This lower V
CC
voltage minimizes power dissipation in the part and is used to drive the top switch. The SP7653
is designed to provide a fully integrated buck regulator solution using a fixed 1.3MHz frequency, PWM voltage mode
architecture. Protection features include Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO), thermal shutdown and output short circuit
protection. The SP7653 is available in the space saving DFN package
.

Feedback Voltage and Short Circuit Detection pin. It is the inverting input
of the Error Amplifier and serves as the output voltage feedback point for
the Buck Converter. The output voltage is sensed and can be adjusted
through an external resistor divider. Whenever V

drops 0.25V below the
positive reference, a short circuit fault is detected and the IC enters hiccup
mode.
Output of the Error Amplifier. It is internally connected to the inverting input
of the PWM comparator. An optimal filter combination is chosen and
connected to this pin and either ground or V

Soft Start. Connect an external capacitor between SS and GND to set the

via a 1mA (min) current during all fault conditions.

THEORY OF OPERATION
General Overview
The SP7653 is a fixed frequency, voltage mode,
synchronous PWM regulator optimized for high
efficiency. The part has been designed to be
especially attractive for high input voltages of
2.5V to 20V.
The heart of the SP7653 is a wide bandwidth
transconductance amplifier designed to accom-
modate Type II and Type III compensation
schemes. A precision 0.8V reference, present on
the positive terminal of the error amplifier per-
mits the programming of the output voltage
down to 0.8V via the V
FB
pin. The output of the
error amplifier, COMP, compared to a 1.1V
peak-to-peak ramp is responsible for trailing
edge PWM control. This voltage ramp, and
PWM control logic are governed by the internal
oscillator that accurately sets the PWM fre-
quency to 1.3MHz.
Date: 03/25/05
The SP7653 contains two unique control fea-
tures that are very powerful in distributed appli-
cations. First, asynchronous driver control is
enabled during start up, to prohibit the low side
switch from pulling down the output until the
high side switch has attempted to turn on. Sec-
ond, a 100% duty cycle timeout ensures that the
low side switch is periodically enhanced during
extended periods at 100% duty cycle. This guar-
antees the synchronized refreshing of the Boost
capacitor during very large duty ratios.
The SP7653 also contains a number of valuable
protection features. Programmable V
IN
UVLO
allows the user to set the exact value at which the
conversion voltage can safely begin down con-
version, and an internal V
CC
UVLO which en-
sures that the controller itself has enough volt-
age to properly operate. Other protection fea-

THEORY OF OPERATION
tures include thermal shutdown and short-cir-
cuit detection. In the event that either a thermal,
short-circuit, or UVLO fault is detected, the
SP7653 is forced into an idle state where the
output drivers are held off for a finite period
before a restart is attempted.
Soft Start
Thermal and Short-Circuit
Protection
Because the SP7653 is designed to drive large
output current, there is a chance that the power
converter will become too hot. Therefore, an
internal thermal shutdown (145°C) has been
included to prevent the IC from malfunctioning
at extreme temperatures.
A short-circuit detection comparator has also
been included in the SP7653 to protect against
an accidental short at the output of the power
converter. This comparator constantly monitors
the positive and negative terminals of the error
amplifier, and if the V
FB
pin falls more than
250mV (typical) below the positive reference, a
short-circuit fault is set. Because the SS pin
overrides the internal 0.8V reference during soft
start, the SP7653 is capable of detecting short-
circuit faults throughout the duration of soft
start as well as in regular operation.
Handling of Faults:
“Soft Start” is achieved when a power converter
ramps up the output voltage while controlling
the magnitude of the input supply source cur-
rent. In a modern step down converter, ramping
up the positive terminal of the error amplifier
controls soft start. As a result, excess source
current can be defined as the current required to
charge the output capacitor:
I
VIN
= C
OUT
* (DV
OUT
/ DT
SOFT-START
)
The SP7653 provides the user with the option to
program the soft start rate by tying a capacitor
from the SS pin to GND. The selection of this
capacitor is based on the 10uA pull up current
present at the SS pin and the 0.8V reference
voltage. Therefore, the excess source can be
redefined as:
IV
IN
= C
OUT
*[ (DV
OUT
*10µA) /(C
SS
* 0.8V)]
Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO)
The SP7653 contains two separate UVLO com-
parators to monitor the bias (V
CC
) and conver-
sion (V
IN
) voltages independently. The V
CC
UVLO threshold is internally set to 4.25V,
whereas the V
IN
UVLO threshold is program-
mable through the UV
IN
pin. When the voltage
on the UV
IN
pin is greater than 2.5V, the SP7653
is permitted to start up pending the removal of
all other faults. Both the V
CC
and V
IN
UVLO
comparators have been designed with hysteresis
to prevent noise from resetting a fault.
Upon the detection of power (UVLO), thermal,
or short-circuit faults, the SP7653 is forced into
an idle state where the SS and COMP pins are
pulled low and both switches are held off. In the
event of UVLO fault, the SP7653 remains in this
idle state until the UVLO fault is removed.
Upon the detection of a thermal or short-circuit
fault, an internal 200ms timer is activated. In the
event of a short-circuit fault, a re-start is at-
tempted immediately after the 200ms timeout
expires. Whereas, when a thermal fault is de-
tected the 200ms delay continuously recycles
and a re-start cannot be attempted until the
thermal fault is removed and the timer expires.
Error Amplifier and Voltage Loop
The heart of the SP7653 voltage error loop
compensation is a high performance, wide band-
width transconductance amplifier. Because of
the amplifier’s current limited (+/-150µA)
transconductance, there are many ways to com-
pensate the voltage loop or to control the COMP
