LM2747  
Synchronous Buck Controller with Pre-bias Startup, and  
Optional Clock Synchronization  
General Description  
Features  
n
1% feedback voltage accuracy over temperature  
The LM2747 is a high-speed synchronous buck regulator  
controller with a feedback voltage accuracy of 1%. It can  
provide simple down conversion to output voltages as low as  
0.6V. Though the control section of the IC is rated for 3 to 6V,  
the driver section is designed to accept input supply rails as  
high as 14V. The use of adaptive non-overlapping MOSFET  
gate drivers helps avoid potential shoot-through problems  
while maintaining high efficiency. The IC is designed for the  
more cost-effective option of driving only N-channel MOS-  
FETs in both the high-side and low-side positions. It senses  
the low-side switch voltage drop for providing a simple,  
adjustable current limit.  
n Switching frequency from 50 kHz to 1 MHz  
n Switching frequency synchronize range 250 kHz to 1  
MHz  
n Startup with a pre-biased output load  
n Power stage input voltage from 1V to 14V  
n Control stage input voltage from 3V to 6V  
n Output voltage adjustable down to 0.6V  
n Power Good flag and shutdown  
n Output overvoltage and undervoltage detection  
n Low-side adjustable current sensing  
n Adjustable soft-start  
The LM2747 features a fixed-frequency voltage-mode PWM  
control architecture which is adjustable from 50 kHz to 1  
MHz with one external resistor. In addition, the LM2747 also  
allows the switching frequency to be synchronized to an  
external clock signal over the range of 250 kHz to 1 MHz.  
This wide range of switching frequency gives the power  
supply designer the flexibility to make better tradeoffs be-  
tween component size, cost and efficiency.  
n Tracking and sequencing with shutdown and soft start  
pins  
n TSSOP-14 package  
Applications  
n Down Conversion from 3.3V  
n Cable Modem, DSL and ADSL  
n Laser Jet and Ink Jet Printers  
n Low Voltage Power Modules  
n DSP, ASIC, Core and I/O  
Features include the ability to startup with a pre-biased load  
on the output, soft-start, input undervoltage lockout (UVLO)  
and Power Good (based on both undervoltage and overvolt-  
age detection). In addition, the shutdown pin of the IC can be  
used for providing startup delay, and the soft-start pin can be  
used for implementing precise tracking, for the purpose of  
sequencing with respect to an external rail.

EAO (Pin 8) - Output of the error amplifier. The voltage level  
on this pin is compared with an internally generated ramp  
signal to determine the duty cycle. This pin is necessary for  
compensating the control loop.  
Pin Description  
BOOT (Pin 1) - Bootstrap pin. This is the supply rail for the  
high-side gate driver. When the high-side MOSFET turns on,  
the voltage on this pin should be at least one gate threshold  
above the regulator input voltage VIN to properly turn on the  
MOSFET. See MOSFET Gate Drivers in the Application  
Information section for more details on how to select MOS-  
FETs.  
SS/TRACK (Pin 9) - Soft-start and tracking pin. This pin is  
internally connected to the non-inverting input of the error  
amplifier during soft-start, and in fact any time the SS/  
TRACK pin voltage happens to be below the internal refer-  
ence voltage. For the basic soft-start function, a capacitor of  
minimum value 1 nF is connected from this pin to ground. To  
track the rising ramp of another power supply’s output, con-  
nect a resistor divider from the output of that supply to this  
pin as described in Application Information.  
LG (Pin 2) - Low-gate drive pin. This is the gate drive for the  
low-side N-channel MOSFET. This signal is interlocked with  
the high-side gate drive HG (Pin 14), so as to avoid shoot-  
through.  
PGND (Pins 3, 13) - Power ground. This is also the ground  
for the low-side MOSFET driver. Both the pins must be  
connected together on the PCB and form a ground plane,  
which is usually also the system ground.  
FB (Pin 10) - Feedback pin. This is the inverting input of the  
error amplifier, which is used for sensing the output voltage  
and compensating the control loop.  
FREQ/SYNC (Pin 11) - Frequency adjust pin. The switching  
frequency is set by connecting a resistor of suitable value  
between this pin and ground. Some typical values (rounded  
up to the nearest standard values) are 150 kfor 200 kHz,  
100 kfor 300 kHz, 51.1 kfor 500 kHz, 18.7 kfor 1 MHz.  
This pin is also used to synchronize to an external clock  
within the range of 250kHz to 1MHz.  
SGND (Pin 4) - Signal ground. It should be connected  
appropriately to the ground plane with due regard to good  
layout practices in switching power regulator circuits.  
VCC (Pin 5) Supply rail for the control sections of the IC.  
PWGD (Pin 6) - Power Good pin. This is an open drain  
output, which is typically meant to be connected to VCC or  
any other low voltage source through a pull-up resistor.  
Choose the pull-up resistor so that the current going into this  
pin is kept below 1 mA. A recommended value for the pull-up  
resistor is 100 kfor most applications. The voltage on this  
pin is thus pulled low under output undervoltage or overvolt-  
age fault conditions and also under input UVLO.  
SD (Pin 12) - IC shutdown pin. Pull this pin to VCC to ensure  
the IC is enabled. Connect to ground to disable the IC. Under  
shutdown, both high-side and low-side drives are off. This  
pin also features a precision threshold for power supply  
sequencing purposes, as well as a low threshold to ensure  
minimal quiescent current.  
ISEN (Pin 7) - Current limit threshold setting pin. This sources  
a fixed 40 µA current. A resistor of appropriate value should  
be connected between this pin and the drain of the low-side  
MOSFET (switch node). The minimum value for this resistor  
is 1 k.  
HG (Pin 14) - High-gate drive pin. This is the gate drive for  
the high-side N-channel MOSFET. This signal is interlocked  
with LG (Pin 2) to avoid shoot-through.

Application Information  
The LM2747 is a voltage-mode, high-speed synchronous  
buck regulator with a PWM control scheme. It is designed for  
use in set-top boxes, thin clients, DSL/Cable modems, and  
other applications that require high efficiency buck convert-  
ers. It has output shutdown (SD), input undervoltage lock-out  
(UVLO) mode and power good (PWGD) flag (based on  
overvoltage and undervoltage detection). The overvoltage  
and undervoltage signals are OR-gated to drive the power  
good signal and provide a logic signal to the system if the  
output voltage goes out of regulation. Current limit is  
achieved by sensing the voltage VDS across the low side  
MOSFET. The LM2747 is also able to start-up with the  
output pre-biased with a load and allows for the switching  
frequency to be synchronized with an external clock source.  
Where CSS is in µF and tSS is in ms.  
During soft start the Power Good flag is forced low and it is  
released when the FB pin voltage reaches 70% of 0.6V. At  
this point the chip enters normal operation mode, and the  
output overvoltage and undervoltage monitoring starts.  
SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE  
The LM2747 regulates the output voltage by controlling the  
duty cycle of the high side and low side MOSFETs (see  
Typical Application Circuit).The equation governing output  
voltage is:  
START UP/SOFT-START  
When VCC exceeds 2.79V and the shutdown pin (SD) sees  
a logic high, the soft-start period begins. Then an internal,  
fixed 10 µA source begins charging the soft-start capacitor.  
During soft-start the voltage on the soft-start capacitor CSS is  
connected internally to the non-inverting input of the error  
amplifier. The soft-start period lasts until the voltage on the  
soft-start capacitor exceeds the LM2747 reference voltage  
of 0.6V. At this point the reference voltage takes over at the  
non-inverting error amplifier input. The capacitance of CSS  
determines the length of the soft-start period, and can be  
approximated by:  
SETTING THE SWITCHING FREQUENCY  
During fixed-frequency mode of operation the PWM fre-  
quency is adjustable between 50 kHz and 1 MHz and is set  
by an external resistor, RFADJ, between the FREQ/SYNC pin  
and ground. The resistance needed for a desired frequency

switching cycle. Figure 2 shows the SW node, HG, and LG  
signals during pre-bias startup. The pre-biased output volt-  
age should not exceed VCC + VGS of the external High-Side  
MOSFET to ensure that the High-Side MOSFET will be able  
to switch during startup.  
Application Information (Continued)  
is approximated by the curve FREQUENCY vs. FRE-  
QUENCY ADJUST RESISTOR in the Typical Performance  
Characteristics section.  
When it is desired to synchronize the switching frequency  
with an external clock source, the LM2747 has the unique  
ability to synchronize from this external source within the  
range of 250 kHz to 1 MHz. The external clock signal should  
be AC coupled to the FREQ/SYNC pin as shown below in  
Figure 1, where the RFADJ is chosen so that the fixed fre-  
quency is approximately within 30% of the external syn-  
chronizing clock frequency. An internal protection diode  
clamps the low level of the synchronizing signal to approxi-  
mately -0.5V. The internal clock synchrinizes to the rising  
edge of the external clock.  
20150989  
20150991  
FIGURE 1. AC Coupled Clock  
FIGURE 2. Output Pre-Bias Mode Waveforms  
It is recommended to choose an AC coupling capacitance in  
the range of 50 pF to 100 pF. Exceeding the recommended  
capacitance may inject excessive energy through the inter-  
nal clamping diode structure present on the FREQ/SYNC  
pin.  
TRACKING A VOLTAGE LEVEL  
The LM2747 can track the output of a master power supply  
during soft-start by connecting a resistor divider to the SS/  
TRACK pin. In this way, the output voltage slew rate of the  
LM2747 will be controlled by the master supply for loads that  
require precise sequencing. When the tracking function is  
used no soft-start capacitor should be connected to the  
SS/TRACK pin. However in all other cases, a CSS value of at  
least 1 nF between the soft-start pin and ground should be  
used.  
The typical trip level of the synchronization pin is 1.5V. To  
ensure proper synchronization and to avoid damaging the  
IC, the peak-to-peak value (amplitude) should be between  
2.5V and VCC. The minimum width of this pulse must be  
greater than 100 ns, and it’s maximum width must be 100ns  
less than the period of the switching cycle.  
The external clock synchronization process begins once the  
LM2747 is enabled and an external clock signal is detected.  
During the external clock synchronization process the inter-  
nal clock initially switches at approximately 1.5 MHz and  
decreases until it has matched the external clock’s fre-  
quency. The lock-in period is approximately 30 µs if the  
external clock is switching at 1 MHz, and about 100 µs if the  
external clock is at 200 kHz. When there is no clock signal  
present, the LM2747 enters into fixed-frequency mode and  
begins switching at the frequency set by the RFADJ resistor.  
If the external clock signal is removed after frequency syn-  
chronization, the LM2747 will enter fixed-frequency mode  
within two clock cycles. If the external clock is removed  
within the 30 µs lock-in period, the LM2747 will re-enter  
fixed-frequency mode within two internal clock cycles after  
the lock-in period.  
OUTPUT PRE-BIAS STARTUP  
If there is a pre-biased load on the output of the LM2747  
during startup, the IC will disable switching of the low-side  
MOSFET and monitor the SW node voltage during the off-  
time of the high-side MOSFET. There is no load current  
sensing while in pre-bias mode because the low-side MOS-  
FET never turns on. The IC will remain in this pre-bias mode  
until it sees the SW node stays below 0V during the entire  
high-side MOSFET’s off-time. Once it is determined that the  
SW node remained below 0V during the high-side off-time,  
the low-side MOSFET begins switching during the next  
20150907  
FIGURE 3. Tracking Circuit  
One way to use the tracking feature is to design the tracking  
resistor divider so that the master supply’s output voltage  
(VOUT1) and the LM2747’s output voltage (represented sym-  
bolically in Figure 3 as VOUT2, i.e. without explicitly showing  
the power components) both rise together and reach their

Application Information (Continued)  
target values at the same time. For this case, the equation  
governing the values of the tracking divider resistors RT1 and  
RT2 is:  
The current through RT1 should be about 4 mA for precise  
tracking. The final voltage of the SS/TRACK pin should be  
set higher than the feedback voltage of 0.6V (say about  
0.65V as in the above equation). If the master supply voltage  
was 5V and the LM2747 output voltage was 1.8V, for ex-  
ample, then the value of RT1 needed to give the two supplies  
identical soft-start times would be 150. A timing diagram for  
the equal soft-start time case is shown in Figure 4.  
20150910  
FIGURE 5. Tracking with Equal Slew Rates  
SEQUENCING  
The start up/soft-start of the LM2747 can be delayed for the  
purpose of sequencing by connecting a resistor divider from  
the output of a master power supply to the SD pin, as shown  
in Figure 6.  
20150908  
FIGURE 4. Tracking with Equal Soft-Start Time  
TRACKING A VOLTAGE SLEW RATE  
The tracking feature can alternatively be used not to make  
both rails reach regulation at the same time but rather to  
have similar rise rates (in terms of output dV/dt). This  
method ensures that the output voltage of the LM2747 al-  
ways reaches regulation before the output voltage of the  
master supply. In this case, the tracking resistors can be  
determined based on the following equation:  
20150914  
FIGURE 6. Sequencing Circuit  
A desired delay time tDELAY between the startup of the  
master supply output voltage and the LM2747 output voltage  
can be set based on the SD pin low-to-high threshold VSD-IH  
For the example case of VOUT1 = 5V and VOUT2 = 1.8V, with  
RT1 set to 150as before, RT2 is calculated from the above  
equation to be 265. A timing diagram for the case of equal  
slew rates is shown in Figure 5.  
and the slew rate of the voltage at the SD pin, SRSD  
:
tDELAY = VSD-IH / SRSD  
Note again, that in Figure 6, the LM2747’s output voltage  
has been represented symbolically as VOUT2, i.e. without  
explicitly showing the power components.  
VSD-IH is typically 1.08V and SRSD is the slew rate of the SD  
pin voltage. The values of the sequencing divider resistors  
RS1 and RS2 set the SRSD based on the master supply  
output voltage slew rate, SROUT1, using the following equa-  
tion:  
www.national.com

Application Information (Continued)  
For example, if the master supply output voltage slew rate  
was 1V/ms and the desired delay time between the startup  
of the master supply and LM2747 output voltage was 5 ms,  
then the desired SD pin slew rate would be (1.08V/5 ms) =  
0.216V/ms. Due to the internal impedance of the SD pin, the  
maximum recommended value for RS2 is 1 k. To achieve  
the desired slew rate, RS1 would then be 274. A timing  
diagram for this example is shown in Figure 7.

FIGURE 8. SD Pin Logic  
MOSFET GATE DRIVERS  
The LM2747 has two gate drivers designed for driving  
N-channel MOSFETs in a synchronous mode. Note that  
unlike most other synchronous controllers, the bootstrap  
capacitor of the LM2747 provides power not only to the  
driver of the upper MOSFET, but the lower MOSFET driver  
too (both drivers are ground referenced, i.e. no floating  
driver).  
Two things must be kept in mind here. First, the BOOT pin  
has an absolute maximum rating of 18V. This must never be  
exceeded, even momentarily. Since the bootstrap capacitor  
is connected to the SW node, the peak voltage impressed on  
the BOOT pin is the sum of the input voltage (VIN) plus the  
voltage across the bootstrap capacitor (ignoring any forward  
drop across the bootstrap diode). The bootstrap capacitor is  
charged up by a given rail (called VBOOT_DC here) whenever  
the upper MOSFET turns off. This rail can be the same as  
VCC or it can be any external ground-referenced DC rail. But  
care has to be exercised when choosing this bootstrap DC  
rail that the BOOT pin is not damaged. For example, if the  
desired maximum VIN is 14V, and VBOOT_DC is chosen to be  
the same as VCC, then clearly if the VCC rail is 6V, the peak  
voltage on the BOOT pin is 14V + 6V = 20V. This is unac-  
ceptable, as it is in excess of the rating of the BOOT pin. A  
VCC of 3V would be acceptable in this case. Or the VIN range  
must be reduced accordingly. There is also the option of  
deriving the bootstrap DC rail from another 3V external rail,

When connecting a resistor divider to the SD pin of the  
LM2747 some care has to be taken. Once the SD voltage  
goes above VSD-IH, a 17 µA pull-up current is activated as  
shown in Figure 8. This current is used to create the internal  
hysteresis ()170 mV); however, high external impedances  
will affect the SD pin logic thresholds as well. The external  
impedance used for the sequencing divider network should  
preferably be a small fraction of the impedance of the SD pin  
for good performance (around 1 k).  
independent of VCC  
.
The second thing to be kept in mind here is that the output of  
the low-side driver swings between the bootstrap DC rail  
level of VBOOT_DC and Ground, whereas the output of the  
high-side driver swings between VIN+ VBOOT_DC and  
Ground. To keep the high-side MOSFET fully on when de-  
sired, the Gate pin voltage of the MOSFET must be higher  
than its instantaneous Source pin voltage by an amount  
equal to the ’Miller plateau’. It can be shown that this plateau  
is equal to the threshold voltage of the chosen MOSFET plus  
a small amount equal to Io/g. Here Io is the maximum load  
current of the application, and g is the transconductance of  
this MOSFET (typically about 100 for logic-level devices).  
That means we must choose VBOOT_DC to at least exceed

powers both the VCC and the bootstrap circuit, providing  
efficient drive for logic level MOSFETs. An example of this  
circuit is shown in Figure 10.

the Miller plateau level. This may therefore affect the choice  
of the threshold voltage of the external MOSFETs, and that  
in turn may depend on the chosen VBOOT_DC rail.  
So far, in the discussion above, the forward drop across the  
bootstrap diode has been ignored. But since that does affect  
the output of the driver somewhat, it is a good idea to include  
this drop in the following examples. Looking at the Typical  
Application schematic, this means that the difference voltage  
VCC - VD1, which is the voltage the bootstrap capacitor  
charges up to, must always be greater than the maximum  
tolerance limit of the threshold voltage of the upper MOS-  
FET. Here VD1 is the forward voltage drop across the boot-  
strap diode D1. This may place restrictions on the minimum  
input voltage and/or type of MOSFET used.  
A basic bootstrap circuit can be built using one Schottky  
diode and a small capacitor, as shown in Figure 9. The  
capacitor CBOOT serves to maintain enough voltage between  
the top MOSFET gate and source to control the device even  
when the top MOSFET is on and its source has risen up to  
the input voltage level. The charge pump circuitry is fed from  
VCC, which can operate over a range from 3.0V to 6.0V.  
Using this basic method the voltage applied to the gates of  
both high-side and low-side MOSFETs is VCC - VD. This  
method works well when VCC is 5V 10%, because the gate  
drives will get at least 4.0V of drive voltage during the worst  
case of VCC-MIN = 4.5V and VD-MAX = 0.5V. Logic level

FIGURE 10. LM78L05 Feeding Basic Charge Pump  
Figure 11 shows a second possibility for bootstrapping the  
MOSFET drives using a doubler. This circuit provides an  
equal voltage drive of VCC - 3VD + VIN to both the high-side  
and low-side MOSFET drives. This method should only be  
used in circuits that use 3.3V for both VCC and VIN. Even with  
MOSFETs generally specify their on-resistance at VGS  
=
4.5V. When VCC = 3.3V 10%, the gate drive at worst case  
could go as low as 2.5V. Logic level MOSFETs are not  
guaranteed to turn on, or may have much higher on-  
resistance at 2.5V. Sub-logic level MOSFETs, usually speci-  
fied at VGS = 2.5V, will work, but are more expensive, and  
tend to have higher on-resistance. The circuit in Figure 9  
works well for input voltages ranging from 1V up to 14V and  
VCC = 5V 10%, because the drive voltage depends only on  
VIN = VCC = 3.0V (10% lower tolerance on 3.3V) and VD  
=
0.5V both high-side and low-side gates will have at least  
4.5V of drive. The power dissipation of the gate drive cir-  
cuitry is directly proportional to gate drive voltage, hence the  
thermal limits of the LM2747 IC will quickly be reached if this  
circuit is used with VCC or VIN voltages over 5V.

on. (The point of peak inductor current, see Figure 12). Note  
that in normal operation mode the high-side MOSFET al-  
ways turns on at the beginning of a clock cycle. In current  
limit mode, by contrast, the high-side MOSFET on-pulse is  
skipped. This causes inductor current to fall. Unlike a normal  
operation switching cycle, however, in a current limit mode  
switching cycle the high-side MOSFET will turn on as soon  
as inductor current has fallen to the current limit threshold.  
The LM2747 will continue to skip high-side MOSFET pulses  
until the inductor current peak is below the current limit  
threshold, at which point the system resumes normal opera-  
tion.  
Application Information (Continued)  
POWER GOOD SIGNAL  
The open drain output on the Power Good pin needs a  
pull-up resistor to a low voltage source. The pull-up resistor  
should be chosen so that the current going into the Power  
Good pin is less than 1 mA. A 100 kresistor is recom-  
mended for most applications.  
The Power Good signal is an OR-gated flag which takes into  
account both output overvoltage and undervoltage condi-  
tions. If the feedback pin (FB) voltage is 18% above its  
nominal value (118% x VFB = 0.708V) or falls 28% below that  
value (72% x VFB = 0.42V) the Power Good flag goes low.  
The Power Good flag can be used to signal other circuits that  
the output voltage has fallen out of regulation, however the  
switching of the LM2747 continues regardless of the state of  
the Power Good signal. The Power Good flag will return to  
logic high whenever the feedback pin voltage is between  
72% and 118% of 0.6V.  
UVLO  
The 2.79V turn-on threshold on VCC has a built in hysteresis  
of about 300 mV. If VCC drops below 2.42V, the chip defi-  
nitely enters UVLO mode. UVLO consists of turning off the  
top and bottom MOSFETS and remaining in that condition  
until VCC rises above 2.79V. As with normal shutdown initi-  
ated by the SD pin, the soft-start capacitor is discharged  
through an internal MOSFET, ensuring that the next start-up  
will be controlled by the soft-start circuitry.  
CURRENT LIMIT  
Current limit is realized by sensing the voltage across the  
low-side MOSFET while it is on. The RDSON of the MOSFET  
is a known value; hence the current through the MOSFET  
can be determined as:  
20150988  
FIGURE 12. Current Limit Threshold  
Unlike a high-side MOSFET current sensing scheme, which  
limits the peaks of inductor current, low-side current sensing  
is only allowed to limit the current during the converter  
off-time, when inductor current is falling. Therefore in a typi-  
cal current limit plot the valleys are normally well defined, but  
the peaks are variable, according to the duty cycle. The  
PWM error amplifier and comparator control the off-pulse of  
the high-side MOSFET, even during current limit mode,  
meaning that peak inductor current can exceed the current  
limit threshold. Assuming that the output inductor does not  
saturate, the maximum peak inductor current during current  
limit mode can be calculated with the following equation:  
VDS = IOUT x RDSON  
The current through the low-side MOSFET while it is on is  
also the falling portion of the inductor current. The current  
limit threshold is determined by an external resistor, RCS  
,
connected between the switching node and the ISEN pin. A  
constant current (ISEN-TH) of 40 µA typical is forced through  
RCS, causing a fixed voltage drop. This fixed voltage is  
compared against VDS and if the latter is higher, the current  
limit of the chip has been reached. To obtain a more accurate  
value for RCS you must consider the operating values of  
RDSON and ISEN-TH at their operating temperatures in your  
application and the effect of slight parameter differences  
from part to part. RCS can be found by using the following  
equation using the RDSON value of the low side MOSFET at  
it’s expected hot temperature and the absolute minimum  
value expected over the full temperature range for the for the  
ISEN-TH which is 25 µA:  
Where TSW is the inverse of switching frequency fSW. The  
200 ns term represents the minimum off-time of the duty  
cycle, which ensures enough time for correct operation of  
the current sensing circuitry.  
RCS = RDSON-HOT x ILIM / ISEN-TH  
In order to minimize the time period in which peak inductor  
current exceeds the current limit threshold, the IC also dis-  
charges the soft-start capacitor through a fixed 90 µA sink.  
The output of the LM2747 internal error amplifier is limited by  
the voltage on the soft-start capacitor. Hence, discharging  
the soft-start capacitor reduces the maximum duty cycle D of  
the controller. During severe current limit this reduction in  
duty cycle will reduce the output voltage if the current limit  
conditions last for an extended time. Output inductor current  
For example, a conservative 15A current limit in a 10A  
design with a RDSON-HOT of 10 mwould require a 6 kΩ  
resistor. The minimum value for RCS in any application is 1  
k. Because current sensing is done across the low-side  
MOSFET, no minimum high-side on-time is necessary. The  
LM2747 enters current limit mode if the inductor current  
exceeds the current limit threshold at the point where the  
high-side MOSFET turns off and the low-side MOSFET turns

can mean increasing loss in the MOSFETs due to the charg-  
ing and discharging of the gates. Generally the switching  
frequency is chosen so that conduction loss outweighs  
switching loss. The equation for output inductor selection is:

will be reduced in turn to a flat level equal to the current limit  
threshold. The third benefit of the soft-start capacitor dis-  
charge is a smooth, controlled ramp of output voltage when  
the current limit condition is cleared.  
SHUTDOWN  
If the shutdown pin is pulled low, (below 0.8V) the LM2747  
enters shutdown mode, and discharges the soft-start capaci-  
tor through a MOSFET switch. The high and low-side MOS-  
FETs are turned off. The LM2747 remains in this state as  
long as VSD sees a logic low (see the Electrical Character-  
istics table). To assure proper IC start-up the shutdown pin  
should not be left floating. For normal operation this pin  
should be connected directly to VCC or to another voltage  
between 1.3V to VCC (see the Electrical Characteristics  
table).  
L = 1.6 µH  
Here we have plugged in the values for output current ripple,  
input voltage, output voltage, switching frequency, and as-  
sumed a 40% peak-to-peak output current ripple. This yields  
an inductance of 1.6 µH. The output inductor must be rated  
to handle the peak current (also equal to the peak switch  
current), which is (IOUT + (0.5 x IOUT)) = 4.8A, for a 4A  
design.  
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS  
The following is a design procedure for all the components  
needed to create the Typical Application Circuit shown on  
the front page. This design converts 3.3V (VIN) to 1.2V  
(VOUT) at a maximum load of 4A with an efficiency of 89%  
and a switching frequency of 300 kHz. The same procedures  
can be followed to create many other designs with varying  
input voltages, output voltages, and load currents.  
The Coilcraft DO3316P-222P is 2.2 µH, is rated to 7.4A  
peak, and has a direct current resistance (DCR) of 12 m.  
After selecting the Coilcraft DO3316P-222P for the output  
inductor, actual inductor current ripple should be re-  
calculated with the selected inductance value, as this infor-  
mation is needed to select the output capacitor. Re-  
arranging the equation used to select inductance yields the  
following:  
Input Capacitor  
The input capacitors in a Buck converter are subjected to  
high stress due to the input current trapezoidal waveform.  
Input capacitors are selected for their ripple current capabil-  
ity and their ability to withstand the heat generated since that  
ripple current passes through their ESR. Input rms ripple  
current is approximately:  
VIN(MAX) is assumed to be 10% above the steady state input  
voltage, or 3.6V at VIN = 3.3V. The re-calculated current  
ripple will then be 1.2A. This gives a peak inductor/switch  
current will be 4.6A.  
Where duty cycle D = VOUT/VIN  
.
The power dissipated by each input capacitor is:  
Output Capacitor  
The output capacitor forms the second half of the power  
stage of a Buck switching converter. It is used to control the  
output voltage ripple (VOUT) and to supply load current  
during fast load transients.  
In this example the output current is 4A and the expected  
type of capacitor is an aluminum electrolytic, as with the  
input capacitors. Other possibilities include ceramic, tanta-  
lum, and solid electrolyte capacitors, however the ceramic  
type often do not have the large capacitance needed to  
supply current for load transients, and tantalums tend to be  
more expensive than aluminum electrolytic. Aluminum ca-  
pacitors tend to have very high capacitance and fairly low  
ESR, meaning that the ESR zero, which affects system  
stability, will be much lower than the switching frequency.  
The large capacitance means that at the switching fre-  
quency, the ESR is dominant, hence the type and number of  
output capacitors is selected on the basis of ESR. One  
simple formula to find the maximum ESR based on the  
desired output voltage ripple, VOUT and the designed out-  
put current ripple, IOUT, is:  
where n is the number of paralleled capacitors, and ESR is  
the equivalent series resistance of each capacitor. The equa-  
tion above indicates that power loss in each capacitor de-  
creases rapidly as the number of input capacitors increases.  
The worst-case ripple for a Buck converter occurs during full  
load and when the duty cycle (D) is 0.5. For this 3.3V to 1.2V  
design the duty cycle is 0.364. For a 4A maximum load the  
ripple current is 1.92A.  
Output Inductor  
The output inductor forms the first half of the power stage in  
a Buck converter. It is responsible for smoothing the square  
wave created by the switching action and for controlling the  
output current ripple (IOUT). The inductance is chosen by  
selecting between tradeoffs in efficiency and response time.  
The smaller the output inductor, the more quickly the con-  
verter can respond to transients in the load current. How-  
ever, as shown in the efficiency calculations, a smaller in-  
ductor requires a higher switching frequency to maintain the  
same level of output current ripple. An increase in frequency

Support Components  
IN2 - A small (0.1 to 1 µF) ceramic capacitor should be  
placed as close as possible to the drain of the high-side  
MOSFET and source of the low-side MOSFET (dual MOS-  
FETs make this easy). This capacitor should be X5R type  
dielectric or better.  
Application Information (Continued)  
C
In this example, in order to maintain a 2% peak-to-peak  
output voltage ripple and a 40% peak-to-peak inductor cur-  
rent ripple, the required maximum ESR is 20 m. The Sanyo  
4SP560M electrolytic capacitor will give an equivalent ESR  
of 14 m. The capacitance of 560 µF is enough to supply  
energy even to meet severe load transient demands.  
RCC, CCC- These are standard filter components designed to  
ensure smooth DC voltage for the chip supply. RCC should  
be 1 to 10. CCC should 1 µF, X5R type or better.  
MOSFETs  
CBOOT- Bootstrap capacitor, typically 100 nF.  
Selection of the power MOSFETs is governed by a trade-off  
between cost, size, and efficiency. One method is to deter-  
mine the maximum cost that can be endured, and then  
select the most efficient device that fits that price. Breaking  
down the losses in the high-side and low-side MOSFETs and  
then creating spreadsheets is one way to determine relative  
efficiencies between different MOSFETs. Good correlation  
between the prediction and the bench result is not guaran-  
teed, however. Single-channel buck regulators that use a  
controller IC and discrete MOSFETs tend to be most efficient  
for output currents of 2 to 10A.  
RPULL-UP – This is a standard pull-up resistor for the open-  
drain power good signal (PWGD). The recommended value  
is 100 kconnected to VCC. If this feature is not necessary,  
the resistor can be omitted.  
D1 - A small Schottky diode should be used for the bootstrap.  
It allows for a minimum drop for both high and low-side  
drivers. The MBR0520 or BAT54 work well in most designs.  
R
CS - Resistor used to set the current limit. Since the design  
calls for a peak current magnitude (IOUT + (0.5 x IOUT)) of  
4.8A, a safe setting would be 6A. (This is below the satura-  
tion current of the output inductor, which is 7A.) Following the  
equation from the Current Limit section, a 1.3 kresistor  
should be used.  
Losses in the high-side MOSFET can be broken down into  
conduction loss, gate charging loss, and switching loss.  
Conduction, or I2R loss, is approximately:  
R
FADJ - This resistor is used to set the switching frequency of  
2
the chip. The resistor value is approximated from the Fre-  
quency vs Frequency Adjust Resistor curve in the Typical  
Performance Characteristics section. For 300 kHz operation,  
a 100 kresistor should be used.  
PC = D (IO x RDSON-HI x 1.3)  
(High-Side MOSFET)  
2
PC = (1 - D) x (IO x RDSON-LO x 1.3)  
(Low-Side MOSFET)  
CSS - The soft-start capacitor depends on the user require-  
ments and is calculated based on the equation given in the  
section titled START UP/SOFT-START. Therefore, for a 7 ms  
delay, a 12 nF capacitor is suitable.  
In the above equations the factor 1.3 accounts for the in-  
crease in MOSFET RDSON due to heating. Alternatively, the  
1.3 can be ignored and the RDSON of the MOSFET estimated  
using the RDSON Vs. Temperature curves in the MOSFET  
datasheets.  
Control Loop Compensation  
The LM2747 uses voltage-mode (‘VM’) PWM control to cor-  
rect changes in output voltage due to line and load tran-  
sients. VM requires careful small signal compensation of the  
control loop for achieving high bandwidth and good phase  
margin.  
Gate charging loss results from the current driving the gate  
capacitance of the power MOSFETs, and is approximated  
as:  
PGC = n x (VDD) x QG x fSW  
where ‘n’ is the number of MOSFETs (if multiple devices  
have been placed in parallel), VDD is the driving voltage (see  
MOSFET Gate Drivers section) and QGS is the gate charge  
of the MOSFET. If different types of MOSFETs are used, the  
‘n’ term can be ignored and their gate charges simply  
summed to form a cumulative QG. Gate charge loss differs  
from conduction and switching losses in that the actual  
dissipation occurs in the LM2747, and not in the MOSFET  
itself.  
The control loop is comprised of two parts. The first is the  
power stage, which consists of the duty cycle modulator,  
output inductor, output capacitor, and load. The second part  
is the error amplifier, which for the LM2747 is a 9 MHz  
op-amp used in the classic inverting configuration. Figure 13  
shows the regulator and control loop components.  
Switching loss occurs during the brief transition period as the  
high-side MOSFET turns on and off, during which both cur-  
rent and voltage are present in the channel of the MOSFET.  
It can be approximated as:  
PSW = 0.5 x VIN x IO x (tr + tf) x fSW  
where tr and tf are the rise and fall times of the MOSFET.  
Switching loss occurs in the high-side MOSFET only.  
For this example, the maximum drain-to-source voltage ap-  
plied to either MOSFET is 3.6V. The maximum drive voltage  
at the gate of the high-side MOSFET is 3.1V, and the maxi-  
mum drive voltage for the low-side MOSFET is 3.3V. Due to  
the low drive voltages in this example, a MOSFET that turns  
on fully with 3.1V of gate drive is needed. For designs of 5A  
and under, dual MOSFETs in SO-8 provide a good trade-off  
between size, cost, and efficiency.

FIGURE 13. Power Stage and Error Amp  
One popular method for selecting the compensation compo-  
nents is to create Bode plots of gain and phase for the power  
stage and error amplifier. Combined, they make the overall  
bandwidth and phase margin of the regulator easy to see.  
Software tools such as Excel, MathCAD, and Matlab are  
useful for showing how changes in compensation or the  
power stage affect system gain and phase.  
The power stage modulator provides a DC gain ADC that is  
equal to the input voltage divided by the peak-to-peak value  
of the PWM ramp. This ramp is 1.0Vpk-pk for the LM2747.  
The inductor and output capacitor create a double pole at  
frequency fDP, and the capacitor ESR and capacitance cre-  
ate a single zero at frequency fESR. For this example, with  
VIN = 3.3V, these quantities are:  
20150970  
FIGURE 14. Power Stage Gain and Phase  
The double pole at 4.5 kHz causes the phase to drop to  
approximately -130˚ at around 10 kHz. The ESR zero, at  
20.3 kHz, provides a +90˚ boost that prevents the phase  
from dropping to -180o. If this loop were left uncompensated,  
the bandwidth would be approximately 10 kHz and the  
phase margin 53˚. In theory, the loop would be stable, but  
would suffer from poor DC regulation (due to the low DC  
gain) and would be slow to respond to load transients (due to  
the low bandwidth.) In practice, the loop could easily become  
unstable due to tolerances in the output inductor, capacitor,  
or changes in output current, or input voltage. Therefore, the  
loop is compensated using the error amplifier and a few  
passive components.  
In the equation for fDP, the variable RL is the power stage  
resistance, and represents the inductor DCR plus the on  
resistance of the top power MOSFET. RO is the output  
voltage divided by output current. The power stage transfer  
function GPS is given by the following equation, and Figure  
14 shows Bode plots of the phase and gain in this example.  
For this example, a Type III, or three-pole-two-zero approach  
gives optimal bandwidth and phase.  
In most voltage mode compensation schemes, including  
Type III, a single pole is placed at the origin to boost DC gain

as high as possible. Two zeroes fZ1 and fZ2 are placed at the  
double pole frequency to cancel the double pole phase lag.  
Then, a pole, fP1 is placed at the frequency of the ESR zero.  
A final pole fP2 is placed at one-half of the switching fre-  
quency. The gain of the error amplifier transfer function is  
selected to give the best bandwidth possible without violat-  
ing the Nyquist stability criteria. In practice, a good crossover  
point is one-fifth of the switching frequency, or 60 kHz for this  
example. The generic equation for the error amplifier transfer  
function is:  
20150974  
In this equation the variable AEA is a ratio of the values of the  
capacitance and resistance of the compensation compo-  
nents, arranged as shown in Figure 13. AEA is selected to  
provide the desired bandwidth. A starting value of 80,000 for  
AEA should give a conservative bandwidth. Increasing the  
value will increase the bandwidth, but will also decrease  
phase margin. Designs with 45-60˚ are usually best because  
they represent a good trade-off between bandwidth and  
phase margin. In general, phase margin is lowest and gain  
highest (worst-case) for maximum input voltage and mini-  
mum output current. One method to select AEA is to use an  
iterative process beginning with these worst-case conditions.  
1. Increase AEA  
2. Check overall bandwidth and phase margin  
3. Change VIN to minimum and recheck overall bandwidth  
and phase margin  
20150975  
4. Change IO to maximum and recheck overall bandwidth  
and phase margin  
FIGURE 15. Error Amp. Gain and Phase  
The process ends when the both bandwidth and the phase  
margin are sufficiently high. For this example input voltage  
can vary from 3.0 to 3.6V and output current can vary from 0  
to 4A, and after a few iterations a moderate gain factor of  
101dB is used.  
In VM regulators, the top feedback resistor RFB2 forms a part  
of the compensation. Setting RFB2 to 10 k1%, usually  
gives values for the other compensation resistors and ca-  
>
pacitors that fall within a reasonable range. (Capacitances  
<
1 pF, resistances 1 M) CC1, CC2, CC3, RC1, and RC2 are  
selected to provide the poles and zeroes at the desired  
frequencies, using the following equations:  
The error amplifier of the LM2747 has a unity-gain band-  
width of 9 MHz. In order to model the effect of this limitation,  
the open-loop gain can be calculated as:  
The new error amplifier transfer function that takes into  
account unity-gain bandwidth is:  
The gain and phase of the error amplifier are shown in  
Figure 15.

Application Information (Continued)  
In practice, a good trade off between phase margin and  
bandwidth can be obtained by selecting the closest 10%  
capacitor values above what are suggested for CC1 and CC2  
,
the closest 10% capacitor value below the suggestion for  
CC3, and the closest 1% resistor values below the sugges-  
tions for RC1, RC2. Note that if the suggested value for RC2 is  
less than 100, it should be replaced by a short circuit.  
Following this guideline, the compensation components will  
be:  
CC1 = 27 pF 10%, CC2 = 820 pF 10%  
CC3 = 2.7 nF 10%, RC1 = 39.2 k1%  
RC2 = 2.55 k1%

The transfer function of the compensation block can be  
derived by considering the compensation components as  
impedance blocks ZF and ZI around an inverting op-amp:

The bandwidth of this example circuit is 59 kHz, with a phase  
margin of 60˚.  
EFFICIENCY CALCULATIONS  
The following is a sample calculation.  
As with the generic equation, GEA-ACTUAL must be modified  
to take into account the limited bandwidth of the error ampli-  
fier. The result is:  
A reasonable estimation of the efficiency of a switching buck  
controller can be obtained by adding together the Output  
Power (POUT) loss and the Total Power (PTOTAL) loss:  
The total control loop transfer function H is equal to the  
power stage transfer function multiplied by the error amplifier  
transfer function.  
The Output Power (POUT) for the Typical Application Circuit  
design is (1.2V x 4A) = 4.8W. The Total Power (PTOTAL), with  
an efficiency calculation to complement the design, is shown  
below.  
H = GPS x HEA  
The majority of the power losses are due to the low side and  
high side MOSFET’s losses. The losses in any MOSFET are  
group of switching (PSW) and conduction losses (PCND).  
The bandwidth and phase margin can be read graphically  
from Bode plots of HEA as shown in Figure 16.

PSW = 0.5 x 3.3V x 4A x 300 kHz x 31 ns  
PSW = 61.38 mW  
Here n is the number of paralleled capacitors, ESR is the  
equivalent series resistance of each, and PCAP is the dissi-  
pation in each. So for example if we use only one input  
capacitor of 24 m.  
The FDS6898A has a typical turn-on rise time tr and turn-off  
fall time tf of 15 ns and 16 ns, respectively. The switching  
losses for this type of dual N-Channel MOSFETs are  
0.061W.  
FET Conduction Loss (PCND  
PCND = PCND1 + PCND2  
PCND1 = I2  
x RDS(ON) x k x D  
)
OUT  
PCND2 = I2  
x RDS(ON) x k x (1-D)  
OUT  
PCAP = 88.8 mW  
RDS(ON) = 13 mand the factor is a constant value (k = 1.3)  
to account for the increasing RDS(ON) of a FET due to heat-  
ing.  
Output Inductor Loss (PIND  
)
PIND = I2  
x DCR  
OUT  
PCND1 = (4A)2 x 13 mx 1.3 x 0.364  
PCND2 = (4A)2 x 13 mx 1.3 x (1 - 0.364)  
PCND = 98.42 mW + 172 mW = 270.42 mW  
There are few additional losses that are taken into account:  
IC Operating Loss (PIC)  
where DCR is the DC resistance. Therefore, for example  
PIND = (4A)2 x 11 mΩ  
PIND = 176 mW  
Total System Efficiency  
PTOTAL = PFET + PIC + PGATE + PCAP + PIND  
PIC = IQ_VCC x VCC  
,
where IQ-VCC is the typical operating VCC current  
PIC= 1.7 mA x 3.3V = 5.61 mW  
FET Gate Charging Loss (PGATE  
)
PGATE = n x VCC x QGS x fSW  
PGATE = 2 x 3.3V x 3 nC x 300 kHz  
PGATE = 5.94 mW  
The value n is the total number of FETs used and QGS is the  
typical gate-source charge value, which is 3 nC. For the  
FDS6898A the gate charging loss is 5.94 mW.  
Input Capacitor Loss (PCAP  
)
