Refer to Application Information for details. Note 2: The oscillator frequency reduces to approximately 11KHz in the event of fault conditions, such as output short or overload. And the regulated output voltage will drop approximately 40% from the nominal output voltage. This self-protection feature lowers the average power dissipation by lowering the minimum duty cycle from 5% down to approximately 2%. Note 3: For these parameters, FB is removed from VOUT and connected to +12V to force the output transistor OFF. Note 4: VOUT pin sourcing current. No diode, inductor or capacitor connect to VOUT. Note 5: FB is removed from VOUT and connected to 0V. BLOCK DIAGRAM 2003/08/07 Preliminary Rev. 1.1 Champion Microelectronic Corporation Page 4 CM2576 3A STEP DOWN VOLTAGE REGULATOR APPLICATION CIRCUIT 2003/08/07 Preliminary Rev. 1.1 Champion Microelectronic Corporation Page 5 CM2576 3A STEP DOWN VOLTAGE REGULATOR TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS 2003/08/07 Preliminary Rev. 1.1 Champion Microelectronic Corporation Page 6 CM2576 3A STEP DOWN VOLTAGE REGULATOR 2003/08/07 Preliminary Rev. 1.1 Champion Microelectronic Corporation Page 7 CM2576 3A STEP DOWN VOLTAGE REGULATOR It is required that VIN must be bypassed with at least a 100uF electrolytic capacitor for stability. Also, it is strongly recommended the capacitor’s leads must be dept short, and located near the regulator as possible. For low operating temperature range, for example, below -25℃, the input capacitor value may need to be larger. This is due to the reason that the capacitance value of electrolytic capacitors decreases and the ESR increases with lower temperatures and age. Paralleling a ceramic or solid tantalum capacitor will increase the regulator stability at cold temperatures. Output Capacitors (COUT) An output capacitor is also required to filter the output voltage and is needed for loop stability. The capacitor should be located near the CM2576 using short PC board traces. Low ESR types capacitors are recommended for low output ripple voltage and good stability. Generally, low value or low voltage (less than 12V) electrolytic capacitors usually have higher ESR numbers. For example, the lower capacitor values (220uF – 1000uF) will yield typically 50mV to 150mV of output ripple voltage, while larger-value capacitors will reduce the ripple to approximately 20mV to 50mV. The amount of output ripple voltage is primarily a function of the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of the output capacitor and the amplitude of the inductor ripple current (△IIND). Output Ripple Voltage = (△IIND) x (ESR of COUT) Some capacitors called “high-frequency”, “low-inductance”, or “low-ESR” are recommended to use to further reduce the output ripple voltage to 10mV or 20mV. However, very low ESR capacitors, such as Tantalum capacitors, should be carefully evaluated. Catch Diode This diode is required to provide a return path for the inductor current when the switch is off. It should be located close to the CM2576 using short leads and short printed circuit traces as possible. To satisfy the need of fast switching speed and low forward voltage drop, Schottky diodes are widely used to provide the best efficiency, especially in low output voltage switching regulators (less than 5V). Besides, fast-Recovery, high-efficiency, or ultra-fast recovery diodes are also suitable. But some types with an abrupt turn-off characteristic may cause instability and EMI problems. A fast-recovery diode with soft recovery characteristics is better choice. APPLICATION INFORMATION 2003/08/07 Preliminary Rev. 1.1 Champion Microelectronic Corporation Page 8 CM2576 3A STEP DOWN VOLTAGE REGULATOR Output Voltage Ripple and Transients The output ripple voltage is due mainly to the inductor sawtooth ripple current multiplied by the ESR of the output capacitor. The output ripple voltage of a switching power supply will contain a sawtooth ripple voltages at the switcher frequency, typically about 1% of the output voltages, and may also contain short voltage spikes of the sawtooth waveform. Due to the fast switching action, and the parasitic inductance of the output filter capacitor, there is voltage spikes presenting at the peaks of the sawtooth waveform. Cautions must be taken for stray capacitance, wiring inductance, and even the scope probes used for transients evaluation. To minimize these voltage spikes, shortening the lead length and PCB traces is always the first thought. Further more, an additional small LC filter (30uH & 100uF) (as shown in Figure 3) will possibly provide a 10X reduction in output ripple voltage and transients. Inductor Selection The CM2576 can be used for either continuous or discontinuous modes of operation. Each mode has distinctively different operating characteristics, which can affect the regulator performance and requirements. With relatively heavy load currents, the circuit operates in the continuous mode (inductor current always flowing), but under light load conditions, the circuit will be forced to the discontinuous mode (inductor current falls to zero for a period of time). For light loads (less than approximately 300mA) it may be desirable to operate the regulator in the discontinuous mode, primarily because of the lower inductor values required for the discontinuous mode. Inductors are available in different styles such as pot core, toriod, E-frame, bobbin core, et., as well as different core materials, such as ferrites and powdered iron. The least expensive, the bobbin core type, consists of wire wrapped on a ferrite rod core. This type of construction makes for an inexpensive inductor, but since the magnetic flux is not completely contained within the core, it generates more electromagnetic interference (EMI). This EMI can cause problems in sensitive circuits, or can give incorrect scope readings because of induced voltages in the scope probe. 2003/08/07 Preliminary Rev. 1.1 Champion Microelectronic Corporation Page 9 CM2576 3A STEP DOWN VOLTAGE REGULATOR An inductor should not be operated beyond its maximum rated current because it may saturate. When an inductor begins to saturate, the inductance decreases rapidly and the inductor begins to look mainly resistive (the DC resistance of the winding). This will cause the switch current to rise very rapidly. Different inductor types have different saturation characteristics, and this should be well considered when selecting as inductor. Feedback Connection For fixed output voltage version, the FB (feedback) pin must be connected to VOUT. For the adjustable version, it is important to place the output voltage ratio resistors near CM2576 as possible in order to minimize the noise introduction. ENABLE It is required that the ENABLE must not be left open. For normal operation, connect this pin to a “LOW” voltage (typically, below 1.6V). On the other hand, for standby mode, connect this pin with a “HIGH” voltage. This pin can be safely pulled up to +VIN without a resistor in series with it. Grounding To maintain output voltage stability, the power ground connections must be low-impedance. For the 5-lead TO-220 and TO-263 style package, both the tab and pin 3 are ground and either connection may be used. Heatsink and Thermal Consideration Although the CM2576 requires only a small heatsink for most cases, the following thermal consideration is important for all operation. With the package thermal resistances θJA and θJC, total power dissipation can be estimated as follows: PD = (VIN x IQ) + (VOUT / VIN)(ILOAD x VSAT); When no heatsink is used, the junction temperature rise can be determined by the following: ∆TJ = PD x θJA; With the ambient temerpature, the actual junction temperature will be: TJ = ∆TJ + TA; If the actual operating junction temperature is out of the safe operating junction temperature (typically 125℃), then a heatsink is required. When using a heatsink, the junction temperature rise will be reduced by the following: ∆TJ = PD x (θJC + θinterface + θHeatsink); Also one can see from the above, it is important to choose an heatsink with adequate size and thermal resistance, such that to maintain the regulator’s junction temperature below the maximum operating temperature. 2003/08/07 Preliminary Rev. 1.1 Champion Microelectronic Corporation Page 10 CM2576 3A STEP DOWN VOLTAGE REGULATOR PACKAGE DIMENSION TO-220 (N220) BFCSTABCADFGJ12345KNRSTKGNDRJ TO-263 (N263) CADIKGFLE 2003/08/07 Preliminary Rev. 1.1 Champion Microelectronic Corporation Page 11 BCM2576 3A STEP DOWN VOLTAGE REGULATOR IMPORTANT NOTICE Champion Microelectronic Corporation (CMC) reserves the right to make changes to its products or to discontinue any integrated circuit product or service without notice, and advises its customers to obtain the latest version of relevant information to verify, before placing orders, that the information being relied on is current.
