Simplified Block Diagram at the falling edge of the reset pulse generated by the internal oscillator. When this pulse goes low, the output control logic turns on the internal NMOS control switch. During this ontime, the SW pin voltage (VSW) decreases to approximately GND, and the inductor current (IL) increases with a linear slope. IL is measured by the current sense amplifier, which generates an output proportional to the switch current. The sensed signal is summed with the regulator's corrective ramp and compared to the error amplifier's output, which is proportional to the difference between the feedback voltage and VREF. When the PWM comparator output goes high, the output switch turns off until the next switching cycle begins. During the switch off-time, inductor current discharges through diode D1, which forces the SW pin to swing to the output voltage plus the forward voltage (VD) of the diode. The regulator loop adjusts the duty cycle (D) to maintain a constant output voltage . Application Information THEORY OF OPERATION The LM2735 is a constant frequency PWM boost regulator IC that delivers a minimum of 2.1A peak switch current. The regulator has a preset switching frequency of either 520 kHz or 1.60 MHz. This high frequency allows the LM2735 to operate with small surface mount capacitors and inductors, resulting in a DC/DC converter that requires a minimum amount of board space. The LM2735 is internally compensated, so it is simple to use, and requires few external components. The LM2735 uses current-mode control to regulate the output voltage. The following operating description of the LM2735 will refer to the Simplified Block Diagram (Figure 1) the simplified schematic (Figure 2), and its associated waveforms (Figure 3). The LM2735 supplies a regulated output voltage by switching the internal NMOS control switch at constant frequency and variable duty cycle. A switching cycle begins www.national.com 8 LM2735/LM2735Q 20215819 FIGURE 2. Simplified Schematic 20215820 FIGURE 3. Typical Waveforms 9 www.national.com LM2735/LM2735Q CURRENT LIMIT The LM2735 uses cycle-by-cycle current limiting to protect the internal NMOS switch. It is important to note that this current limit will not protect the output from excessive current during an output short circuit. The input supply is connected to the output by the series connection of an inductor and a diode. If a short circuit is placed on the output, excessive current can damage both the inductor and diode. 20215824 Design Guide FIGURE 4. Inductor Current ENABLE PIN / SHUTDOWN MODE The LM2735 has a shutdown mode that is controlled by the Enable pin (EN). When a logic low voltage is applied to EN, the part is in shutdown mode and its quiescent current drops to typically 80 nA. Switch leakage adds up to another 1 A from the input supply. The voltage at this pin should never exceed VIN + 0.3V. THERMAL SHUTDOWN Thermal shutdown limits total power dissipation by turning off the output switch when the IC junction temperature exceeds 160C. After thermal shutdown occurs, the output switch doesn't turn on until the junction temperature drops to approximately 150C. A good design practice is to design the inductor to produce 10% to 30% ripple of maximum load. From the previous equations, the inductor value is then obtained. SOFT-START This function forces VOUT to increase at a controlled rate during start up. During soft-start, the error amplifier's reference voltage ramps to its nominal value of 1.255V in approximately 4.0ms. This forces the regulator output to ramp up in a more linear and controlled fashion, which helps reduce inrush current. Where: 1/TS = FSW = switching frequency One must also ensure that the minimum current limit (2.1A) is not exceeded, so the peak current in the inductor must be calculated. The peak current (ILPK ) in the inductor is calculated by: INDUCTOR SELECTION The Duty Cycle (D) can be approximated quickly using the ratio of output voltage (VO) to input voltage (VIN): or ILpk = IIN + IL ILpk = IOUT / D' + IL When selecting an inductor, make sure that it is capable of supporting the peak input current without saturating. Inductor saturation will result in a sudden reduction in inductance and prevent the regulator from operating correctly. Because of the speed of the internal current limit, the peak current of the inductor need only be specified for the required maximum input current. For example, if the designed maximum input current is 1.5A and the peak current is 1.75A, then the inductor should be specified with a saturation current limit of >1.75A. There is no need to specify the saturation or peak current of the inductor at the 3A typical switch current limit. Because of the operating frequency of the LM2735, ferrite based inductors are preferred to minimize core losses. This presents little restriction since the variety of ferrite-based inductors is huge. Lastly, inductors with lower series resistance (DCR) will provide better operating efficiency. For recommended inductors see Example Circuits. Therefore: Power losses due to the diode (D1) forward voltage drop, the voltage drop across the internal NMOS switch, the voltage drop across the inductor resistance (RDCR) and switching losses must be included to calculate a more accurate duty cycle (See Calculating Efficiency and Junction Temperature for a detailed explanation). A more accurate formula for calculating the conversion ratio is: INPUT CAPACITOR An input capacitor is necessary to ensure that VIN does not drop excessively during switching transients. The primary specifications of the input capacitor are capacitance, voltage, RMS current rating, and ESL (Equivalent Series Inductance). The recommended input capacitance is 10 F to 44 F depending on the application. The capacitor manufacturer specifically states the input voltage rating. Make sure to check any recommended deratings and also verify if there is any Where equals the efficiency of the LM2735 application. The inductor value determines the input ripple current. Lower inductor values decrease the size of the inductor, but increase the input ripple current. An increase in the inductor value will decrease the input ripple current. www.national.com 10 LM2735/LM2735Q significant change in capacitance at the operating input voltage and the operating temperature. The ESL of an input capacitor is usually determined by the effective cross sectional area of the current path. At the operating frequencies of the LM2735, certain capacitors may have an ESL so large that the resulting impedance (2fL) will be higher than that required to provide stable operation. As a result, surface mount capacitors are strongly recommended. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) are good choices for both input and output capacitors and have very low ESL. For MLCCs it is recommended to use X7R or X5R dielectrics. Consult capacitor manufacturer datasheet to see how rated capacitance varies over operating conditions. OUTPUT CAPACITOR The LM2735 operates at frequencies allowing the use of ceramic output capacitors without compromising transient response. Ceramic capacitors allow higher inductor ripple without significantly increasing output ripple. The output capacitor is selected based upon the desired output ripple and transient response. The initial current of a load transient is provided mainly by the output capacitor. The output impedance will therefore determine the maximum voltage perturbation. The output ripple of the converter is a function of the capacitor's reactance and its equivalent series resistance (ESR): 20215829 FIGURE 5. Setting Vout A good value for R1 is 10k. COMPENSATION The LM2735 uses constant frequency peak current mode control. This mode of control allows for a simple external compensation scheme that can be optimized for each application. A complicated mathematical analysis can be completed to fully explain the LM2735's internal & external compensation, but for simplicity, a graphical approach with simple equations will be used. Below is a Gain & Phase plot of a LM2735 that produces a 12V output from a 5V input voltage. The Bode plot shows the total loop Gain & Phase without external compensation. When using MLCCs, the ESR is typically so low that the capacitive ripple may dominate. When this occurs, the output ripple will be approximately sinusoidal and 90 phase shifted from the switching action . Given the availability and quality of MLCCs and the expected output voltage of designs using the LM2735, there is really no need to review any other capacitor technologies. Another benefit of ceramic capacitors is their ability to bypass high frequency noise. A certain amount of switching edge noise will couple through parasitic capacitances in the inductor to the output. A ceramic capacitor will bypass this noise while a tantalum will not. Since the output capacitor is one of the two external components that control the stability of the regulator control loop, most applications will require a minimum at 4.7 F of output capacitance. Like the input capacitor, recommended multilayer ceramic capacitors are X7R or X5R. Again, verify actual capacitance at the desired operating voltage and temperature. SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE The output voltage is set using the following equation where R1 is connected between the FB pin and GND, and R2 is connected between VOUT and the FB pin. 20215831 FIGURE 6. LM2735 Without External Compensation One can see that the Crossover frequency is fine, but the phase margin at 0dB is very low (22). A zero can be placed just above the crossover frequency so that the phase margin will be bumped up to a minimum of 45. Below is the same application with a zero added at 8 kHz. 11 www.national.com LM2735/LM2735Q 20215829 FIGURE 8. Setting External Pole-Zero 20215832 FIGURE 7. LM2735 With External Compensation The simplest method to determine the compensation component value is as follows. Set the output voltage with the following equation. There is an associated pole with the zero that was created in the above equation. It is always higher in frequency than the zero. A right-half plane zero (RHPZ) is inherent to all boost converters. One must remember that the gain associated with a right-half plane zero increases at 20dB per decade, but the phase decreases by 45 per decade. For most applications there is little concern with the RHPZ due to the fact that the frequency at which it shows up is well beyond crossover, and has little to no effect on loop stability. One must be concerned with this condition for large inductor values and high output currents. Where R1 is the bottom resistor and R2 is the resistor tied to the output voltage. The next step is to calculate the value of C3. The internal compensation has been designed so that when a zero is added between 5 kHz & 10 kHz the converter will have good transient response with plenty of phase margin for all input & output voltage combinations. Lower output voltages will have the zero set closer to 10 kHz, and higher output voltages will usually have the zero set closer to 5 kHz. It is always recommended to obtain a Gain/Phase plot for your actual application. One could refer to the Typical applications section to obtain examples of working applications and the associated component values. Pole @ origin due to internal gm amplifier: There are miscellaneous poles and zeros associated with parasitics internal to the LM2735, external components, and the PCB. They are located well over the crossover frequency, and for simplicity are not discussed. FP-ORIGIN PCB Layout Considerations Pole due to output load and capacitor: When planning layout there are a few things to consider when trying to achieve a clean, regulated output. The most important consideration when completing a Boost Converter layout is the close coupling of the GND connections of the COUT capacitor and the LM2735 PGND pin. The GND ends should be close to one another and be connected to the GND plane with at least two through-holes. There should be a continuous ground plane on the bottom layer of a two-layer board except under the switching node island. The FB pin is a high impedance node and care should be taken to make the FB trace short to avoid noise pickup and inaccurate regulation. The feedback resistors should be placed as close as possible to the IC, with the AGND of R1 placed as close as possible to the GND (pin 5 for the LLP) of the IC. The VOUT trace to R2 should be routed away from the inductor and any other traces that are switching. High AC currents flow through the VIN, SW This equation only determines the frequency of the pole for perfect current mode control (CMC). I.e, it doesn't take into account the additional internal artificial ramp that is added to the current signal for stability reasons. By adding artificial ramp, you begin to move away from CMC to voltage mode control (VMC). The artifact is that the pole due to the output load and output capacitor will actually be slightly higher in frequency than calculated. In this example it is calculated at 650 Hz, but in reality it is around 1 kHz. The zero created with capacitor C3 & resistor R2: www.national.com 12 that are obtainable via the National Semiconductor website. The demonstration board consists of a two layer PCB with a common input and output voltage application. Most of the routing is on the top layer, with the bottom layer consisting of a large ground plane. The placement of the external components satisfies the electrical considerations, and the thermal performance has been improved by adding thermal vias and a top layer "Dog-Bone". 13 www.national.com LM2735/LM2735Q and VOUT traces, so they should be as short and wide as possible. However, making the traces wide increases radiated noise, so the designer must make this trade-off. Radiated noise can be decreased by choosing a shielded inductor. The remaining components should also be placed as close as possible to the IC. Please see Application Note AN-1229 for further considerations and the LM2735 demo board as an example of a four-layer layout. Below is an example of a good thermal & electrical PCB design. This is very similar to our LM2735 demonstration boards LM2735/LM2735Q Example of Proper PCB Layout guidelines). The electrical design considerations outweigh the thermal considerations. Other factors that influence thermal performance are thermal vias, copper weight, and number of board layers. Definitions Heat energy is transferred from regions of high temperature to regions of low temperature via three basic mechanisms: radiation, conduction and convection. Radiation: Electromagnetic transfer of heat between masses at different temperatures. Conduction: Transfer of heat through a solid medium. Convection: Transfer of heat through the medium of a fluid; typically air. Conduction & Convection will be the dominant heat transfer mechanism in most applications. RJA: Thermal impedance from silicon junction to ambient air temperature. RJC: Thermal impedance from silicon junction to device case temperature. CJC: Thermal Delay from silicon junction to device case temperature. CCA: Thermal Delay from device case to ambient air temperature. RJA & RJC: These two symbols represent thermal impedances, and most data sheets contain associated values for these two symbols. The units of measurement are C/ Watt. RJA is the sum of smaller thermal impedances (see simplified thermal model below). The capacitors represent delays that are present from the time that power and its associated heat is increased or decreased from steady state in one medium until the time that the heat increase or decrease reaches steady state on the another medium. 20215840 FIGURE 9. Boost PCB Layout Guidelines Thermal Design When designing for thermal performance, one must consider many variables: Ambient Temperature: The surrounding maximum air temperature is fairly explanatory. As the temperature increases, the junction temperature will increase. This may not be linear though. As the surrounding air temperature increases, resistances of semiconductors, wires and traces increase. This will decrease the efficiency of the application, and more power will be converted into heat, and will increase the silicon junction temperatures further. Forced Airflow: Forced air can drastically reduce the device junction temperature. Air flow reduces the hot spots within a design. Warm airflow is often much better than a lower ambient temperature with no airflow. External Components: Choose components that are efficient, and you can reduce the mutual heating between devices. PCB design with thermal performance in mind: The PCB design is a very important step in the thermal design procedure. The LM2735 is available in three package options (5 pin SOT23, 8 pin eMSOP & 6 pin LLP). The options are electrically the same, but difference between the packages is size and thermal performance. The LLP and eMSOP have thermal Die Attach Pads (DAP) attached to the bottom of the packages, and are therefore capable of dissipating more heat than the SOT23 package. It is important that the customer choose the correct package for the application. A detailed thermal design procedure has been included in this data sheet. This procedure will help determine which package is correct, and common applications will be analyzed. There is one significant thermal PCB layout design consideration that contradicts a proper electrical PCB layout design consideration. This contradiction is the placement of external components that dissipate heat. The greatest external heat contributor is the external Schottky diode. It would be nice if you were able to separate by distance the LM2735 from the Schottky diode, and thereby reducing the mutual heating effect. This will however create electrical performance issues. It is important to keep the LM2735, the output capacitor, and Schottky diode physically close to each other (see PCB layout www.national.com 20215841 FIGURE 10. Simplified Thermal Impedance Model 14 We will talk more about calculating the variables of this equation later, and how to eventually calculate a proper junction temperature with relative certainty. For now we need to define the process of calculating the junction temperature and clarify some common misconceptions. 15 www.national.com LM2735/LM2735Q RJA [Variables]: * Input Voltage, Output Voltage, Output Current, RDSon. * Ambient temperature & air flow. * Internal & External components power dissipation. * Package thermal limitations. * PCB variables (copper weight, thermal via's, layers component placement). It would be wrong to assume that the top case temperature is the proper temperature when calculating value. The value represents the thermal impedance of all six sides of a package, not just the top side. This document will refer to a thermal impedance called . represents a thermal impedance associated with just the top case temperature. This will allow one to calculate the junction temperature with a thermal sensor connected to the top case. The datasheet values for these symbols are given so that one might compare the thermal performance of one package against another. In order to achieve a comparison between packages, all other variables must be held constant in the comparison (PCB size, copper weight, thermal vias, power dissipation, VIN, VOUT, Load Current etc). This does shed light on the package performance, but it would be a mistake to use these values to calculate the actual junction temperature in your application. LM2735/LM2735Q and loads. All loss elements will mutually increase the heat on the PCB, and therefore increase each other's temperatures. LM2735 Thermal Models Heat is dissipated from the LM2735 and other devices. The external loss elements include the Schottky diode, inductor, 20215843 FIGURE 11. Thermal Schematic 20215844 FIGURE 12. Associated Thermal Model www.national.com 16 The complete LM2735 DC/DC converter efficiency () can be calculated in the following manner. The diode, NMOS switch, and inductor DCR losses are included in this calculation. Setting any loss element to zero will simplify the equation. VD is the forward voltage drop across the Schottky diode. It can be obtained from the manufacturer's Electrical Characteristics section of the data sheet. The conduction losses in the diode are calculated as follows: PDIODE = VD x IO Power loss (PLOSS) is the sum of two types of losses in the converter, switching and conduction. Conduction losses usually dominate at higher output loads, where as switching losses remain relatively fixed and dominate at lower output loads. Losses in the LM2735 Device: PLOSS = PCOND + PSW + PQ Conversion ratio of the Boost Converter with conduction loss elements inserted: Depending on the duty cycle, this can be the single most significant power loss in the circuit. Care should be taken to choose a diode that has a low forward voltage drop. Another concern with diode selection is reverse leakage current. Depending on the ambient temperature and the reverse voltage across the diode, the current being drawn from the output to the NMOS switch during time D could be significant, this may increase losses internal to the LM2735 and reduce the overall efficiency of the application. Refer to Schottky diode manufacturer's data sheets for reverse leakage specifications, and typical applications within this data sheet for diode selections. Another significant external power loss is the conduction loss in the input inductor. The power loss within the inductor can be simplified to: One can see that if the loss elements are reduced to zero, the conversion ratio simplifies to: PIND = IIN2RDCR The LM2735 conduction loss is mainly associated with the internal NFET: And we know: PCOND-NFET = I2SW-rms x RDSON x D Therefore: 20215852 FIGURE 13. LM2735 Switch Current Calculations for determining the most significant power losses are discussed below. Other losses totaling less than 2% are not discussed. A simple efficiency calculation that takes into account the conduction losses is shown below: (small ripple approximation) PCOND-NFET = IIN2 x RDSON x D 17 www.national.com LM2735/LM2735Q Calculating Efficiency, and Junction Temperature LM2735/LM2735Q PCONDUCTION = IIN2 x D x RDSON x 305 mW Diode Losses VD = 0.45V PDIODE = VD x IIN(1-D) = 236 mW The value for should be equal to the resistance at the junction temperature you wish to analyze. As an example, at 125C and VIN = 5V, RDSON = 250 m (See typical graphs for value). Switching losses are also associated with the internal NMOS switch. They occur during the switch on and off transition periods, where voltages and currents overlap resulting in power loss. The simplest means to determine this loss is to empirically measuring the rise and fall times (10% to 90%) of the switch at the switch node: Inductor Power Losses RDCR = 75 m PIND = IIN2 x RDCR = 145 mW Total Power Losses are: TABLE 2.

The next step is to calculate the value for and/or . This is actually very simple to accomplish, and necessary if you think you may be marginal with regards to thermals or determining what package option is correct. The LM2735 has a thermal shutdown comparator. When the silicon reaches a temperature of 160C, the device shuts down until the temperature reduces to 150C. Knowing this, one can calculate the or the of a specific application. Because the junction to top case thermal impedance is much lower than the thermal impedance of junction to ambient air, the error in calculating is lower than for . However, you will need to attach a small thermocouple onto the top case value. of the LM2735 to obtain the Knowing the temperature of the silicon when the device shuts down allows us to know three of the four variables. Once we calculate the thermal impedance, we then can work backwards with the junction temperature set to 125C to see what PCOND + PSW + PDIODE + PIND + PQ = PLOSS Quiescent Power Losses PQ = IQ x VIN = 20 mW Switching Power Losses PSWR = 1/2(VOUT x IIN x FSW x TRISE) 6 ns 80 mW PSWF = 1/2(VOUT x IIN x FSW x TFALL) 5 ns 70 mW PSW = PSWR + PSWF = 150 mW Internal NFET Power Losses RDSON = 250 m www.national.com 18 LM2735/LM2735Q maximum ambient air temperature keeps the silicon below the 125C temperature. Procedure: Place your application into a thermal chamber. You will need to dissipate enough power in the device so you can obtain a good thermal impedance value. Raise the ambient air temperature until the device goes into thermal shutdown. Record the temperatures of the ambient air and/or the top case temperature of the LM2735. Calculate the thermal impedances. Example from previous calculations: Pdiss = 475 mW Ta @ Shutdown = 139C Tc @ Shutdown = 155C 20215856 FIGURE 14. RJA vs Internal Dissipation for the LLP-6 and eMSOP-8 Package LLP = 55C/W LLP = 21C/W LLP & eMSOP typical applications will produce numbers in the range of 50C/W to 65C/W, and will vary between 18C/W and 28C/W. These values are for PCB's with two and four layer boards with 0.5 oz copper, and four to six thermal vias to bottom side ground plane under the DAP. For 5-pin SOT23 package typical applications, RJA numbers will range from 80C/W to 110C/W, and will vary between 50C/W and 65C/W. These values are for PCB's with two & four layer boards with 0.5 oz copper, with two to four thermal vias from GND pin to bottom layer. Here is a good rule of thumb for typical thermal impedances, and an ambient temperature maximum of 75C: If your design requires that you dissipate more than 400mW internal to the LM2735, or there is 750mW of total power loss in the application, it is recommended that you use the 6 pin LLP or the 8 pin eMSOP package. Note: To use these procedures it is important to dissipate an amount of power within the device that will indicate a true thermal impedance value. If one uses a very small internal dissipated value, one can see that the thermal impedance calculated is abnormally high, and subject to error. The graph below shows the nonlinear relationship of internal power dis. sipation vs . SEPIC Converter The LM2735 can easily be converted into a SEPIC converter. A SEPIC converter has the ability to regulate an output voltage that is either larger or smaller in magnitude than the input voltage. Other converters have this ability as well (CUK and Buck-Boost), but usually create an output voltage that is opposite in polarity to the input voltage. This topology is a perfect fit for Lithium Ion battery applications where the input voltage for a single cell Li-Ion battery will vary between 3V & 4.5V and the output voltage is somewhere in between. Most of the analysis of the LM2735 Boost Converter is applicable to the LM2735 SEPIC Converter. SEPIC Design Guide: SEPIC Conversion ratio without loss elements: Therefore: Small ripple approximation: In a well-designed SEPIC converter, the output voltage, and input voltage ripple, the inductor ripple and is small in comparison to the DC magnitude. Therefore it is a safe approximation to assume a DC value for these components. The main objective of the Steady State Analysis is to determine the steady state duty-cycle, voltage and current stresses on all components, and proper values for all components. In a steady-state converter, the net volt-seconds across an inductor after one cycle will equal zero. Also, the charge into a capacitor will equal the charge out of a capacitor in one cycle. Therefore: 19 www.national.com LM2735/LM2735Q Applying Charge balance on C1: Since there are no DC voltages across either inductor, and capacitor C6 is connected to Vin through L1 at one end, or to ground through L2 on the other end, we can say that Substituting IL1 into IL2 VC1 = VIN Therefore: The average inductor current of L2 is the average output load. This verifies the original conversion ratio equation. It is important to remember that the internal switch current is equal to IL1 and IL2. During the D interval. Design the converter so that the minimum guaranteed peak switch current limit (2.1A) is not exceeded. 20215863 FIGURE 15. Inductor Volt-Sec Balance Waveform 20215880 FIGURE 16.

Below is a proper PCB layout for a SEPIC Converter. Therefore: One can see that all variables are known except for the duty cycle (D). A quadratic equation is needed to solve for D. A less accurate method of determining the duty cycle is to assume efficiency, and calculate the duty cycle. 20215872 FIGURE 17.
