Overview
step-down architecture. Both the main (P-Channel
MOSFET) and synchronous (N-Channel MOSFET)
switches are internal.
or three cell NiMH/NiCd battery to portable devices such
as cell phones and PDA. The output voltage is set by
external resistor divider. The NCP1522 sources at least
600 mA depending on external components chosen.
depending on the current required. The device operates in
PWM/PFM mode at load currents of approximately 80 mA
or higher, having voltage tolerance of "3% with 90%
efficiency or better. Lighter load currents cause the device
to automatically switch into PFM mode for reduced current
consumption (I
protection, current overload protection, and thermal
shutdown protection. As shown in Figure 1, only six
external components are required for implementation. The
part uses an internal reference voltage of 0.6 V. It is
recommended to keep the part in shutdown until the input
voltage is 2.7 V or higher.
PWM Operating Mode
regulated by modulating the on-time pulse width of the
main switch Q1 at a fixed frequency of 3.0 MHz. The
switching of the PMOS Q1 is controlled by a flip-flop
driven by the internal oscillator and a comparator that
compares the error signal from an error amplifier with the
PWM ramp. At the beginning of each cycle, the main
switch Q1 is turned ON by the rising edge of the internal
oscillator clock. The inductor current ramps up until the
sum of the current sense signal and compensation ramp
becomes higher than the error voltage amplifier. Once this
has occurred, the PWM comparator resets the flip-flop, Q1
is turned OFF and the synchronous switch Q2 is turned ON.
Q2 replaces the external Schottky diode to reduce the
conduction loss and improve the efficiency. To avoid
overall power loss, a certain amount of dead time is
introduced to ensure Q1 is completely turned OFF before
Q2 is being turned ON.
The NCP1522 uses a constant frequency, voltage mode

consumption. The output regulation is implemented by
pulse frequency modulation. If the output voltage drops
below the threshold of PFM comparator (typically
Vnom-2%), a new cycle will be initiated by the PFM
comparator to turn on the switch Q1. Q1 remains ON until
the peak inductor current reaches 200 mA (nom). Then

dead time delay, switch rectifier Q2 is turned ON. The
negative current detector (NCD) will detect when the
inductor current drops below zero and sends the signal to
turn off Q2. The output voltage continues to decrease
through discharging the output capacitor. When the output
voltage falls below the threshold of the PFM comparator,
a new cycle starts immediately.
