the ISENx pin. If an overcurrent is detected for 2 consecutive
clock cycles, then the IC enters a hiccup mode by turning off
the gate drivers and entering into soft-start. The IC will cycle
2x through soft-start before trying to restart. The IC will
continue to cycle through soft-start until the overcurrent
condition is removed. Hiccup mode is active during soft-start,
so care must be taken to ensure that the peak inductor current
does not exceed the overcurrent threshold during soft-start.
Because of the nature of this current sensing technique, and
to accommodate a wide range of r
value of the overcurrent threshold should represent an
overload current about 150% to 180% of the maximum
operating current. If more accurate current protection is
desired, place a current sense resistor in series with the
lower MOSFET source.
Over-Temperature Protection
The IC incorporates an over-temperature protection circuit
that shuts the IC down when a die temperature of +150°C
is reached. Normal operation resumes when the die
temperatures drops below +130°C through the initiation of
a full soft-start cycle.
Implementing Synchronization
The SYNC pin may be used to synchronize two or more
controllers. When the SYNC pins of two controllers are
connected together, one controller becomes the master and
the other controller synchronizes to the master. A pull-down
resistor is required and must be sized to provide a low
enough time constant to pass the SYNC pulse. Connect this
pin to VCC_5V if not used. Figure 16 shows the SYNC pin
waveform operating at 16x the switching frequency.

Feedback Loop Compensation
To reduce the number of external components and to simplify
the process of determining compensation components, both
PWM controllers have internally compensated error
amplifiers. To make internal compensation possible, several
design measures were taken.
First, the ramp signal applied to the PWM comparator is
proportional to the input voltage provided via the VIN pin.
This keeps the modulator gain constant with variation in the
input voltage. Second, the load current proportional signal is
derived from the voltage drop across the lower MOSFET
during the PWM time interval and is subtracted from the
amplified error signal on the comparator input. This creates
an internal current control loop. The resistor connected to
the ISEN pin sets the gain in the current feedback loop.
Equation 6 estimates the required value of the current sense
resistor depending on the maximum operating load current
and the value of the MOSFET’s r
Choosing R
sample and hold circuitry is recommended but values down
to 2µA and up to 100µA can be used.
Due to the current loop feedback, the modulator has a single
pole response with -20dB slope at a frequency determined
by the load.
where R
this type of modulator, a Type 2 compensation circuit is
usually sufficient.
Figure 17 shows a Type 2 amplifier and its response along
with the responses of the current mode modulator and the
converter. The Type 2 amplifier, in addition to the pole at
origin, has a zero-pole pair that causes a flat gain region at
frequencies in between the zero and the pole.
