Detailed Description
The AOZ1036 is a current-mode step down regulator
with integrated high-side PMOS switch and a low-side
NMOS switch. It operates from a 4.5V to 18V input
voltage range and supplies up to 5A of load current.
Features include enable control, Power-On Reset, input
under voltage lockout, output over voltage protection,
active high power good state, fixed internal soft-start and
thermal shut down.
The AOZ1036 comes in both a 5x4 DFN-8 and an
exposed pad SO-8 package.
Enable and Soft Start
The AOZ1036 has internal soft start feature to limit
in-rush current and ensure the output voltage ramps up
smoothly to regulation voltage. A soft start process
begins when the input voltage rises to 4.1V and voltage
on EN pin is HIGH. In soft start process, the output
voltage is ramped to regulation voltage in typically 3ms.
The 3ms soft start time is set internally.
The EN pin of the AOZ1036 is active high. Connect the
EN pin to VIN if enable function is not used. Pull it to
ground will disable the AOZ1036. Do not leave it open.
The voltage on EN pin must be above 2V to enable the
AOZ1036. When voltage on EN pin falls below 0.6V, the
AOZ1036 is disabled. If an application circuit requires the
AOZ1036 to be disabled, an open drain or open collector
circuit should be used to interface to EN pin.
Steady-State Operation
Under steady-state conditions, the converter operates
in fixed frequency and Continuous-Conduction Mode
(CCM).
The AOZ1036 integrates an internal P-MOSFET as the
high-side switch. Inductor current is sensed by amplifying
the voltage drop across the drain to source of the high
side power MOSFET. Output voltage is divided down by
the external voltage divider at the FB pin. The difference
of the FB pin voltage and reference is amplified by the
internal transconductance error amplifier. The error
voltage, which shows on the COMP pin, is compared
against the current signal, which is sum of inductor
current signal and ramp compensation signal, at PWM
comparator input. If the current signal is less than the
error voltage, the internal high-side switch is on. The
inductor current flows from the input through the inductor
to the output. When the current signal exceeds the error
voltage, the high-side switch is off. The inductor current is

freewheeling through the internal low-side N-MOSFET
switch to output. The internal adaptive FET driver
guarantees no turn on overlap of both high-side and
low-side switch.
Comparing with regulators using freewheeling Schottky
diodes, the AOZ1036 uses freewheeling NMOSFET to
realize synchronous rectification. It greatly improves the
converter efficiency and reduces power loss in the
low-side switch.
The AOZ1036 uses a P-Channel MOSFET as the
high-side switch. It saves the bootstrap capacitor
normally seen in a circuit which is using an NMOS
switch.
Switching Frequency
The AOZ1036 switching frequency is fixed and set by an
internal oscillator. The practical switching frequency
could range from 400kHz to 600kHz due to device
variation.
Light Load Mode
The AOZ1036 includes is a Pulse-Skip architecture for
Light Load operation, enabling increased efficiency
during standby. Under Heavy Loads, the controller
operates in a standard Synchronous Mode using the
high-side PMOS as control FET and low-side NMOS as
synchronous rectifier NMOS. During Light Loads, the
controller automatically switches to a Non-Synchronous
mode using the high-side PMOS as control FET and the
integrated diode as freewheeling rectifier diode.
Output Voltage Programming
Output voltage can be set by feeding back the output to
the FB pin by using a resistor divider network. In the
application circuit shown in Figure 1. The resistor divider
network includes R
