6 / 9 page MIC2291 Micrel M9999-081104 6 August, 2004 Applications Information DC to DC PWM Boost Conversion The MIC2291 is a constant frequency boost converter. It operates by taking a DC input voltage and regulating current through series LED’s by monitoring voltage across the sense resistor (R2). LED current regulation is achieved by turning on an internal switch, which draws current through the inductor (L1). When the switch turns off, the inductor’s magnetic field collapses, causing the current to be dis- charged into the output capacitor through an external schottkey diode (D1). Regulation is then achieved by pulse width modulation (PWM) to maintain a constant voltage on the FB pin. This in turn provides constant LED current. Figure 2. DC to DC PWM Boost Conversion Duty Cycle Considerations Duty cycle refers to the switch on-to-off time ratio and can be calculated as follows for a boost regulator; The duty cycle required for voltage conversion should be less than the maximum duty cycle of 85%. Also, in light load conditions where the input voltage is close to the output voltage, the minimum duty cycle can cause pulse skipping. This is due to the energy stored in the inductor causing the output to overshoot slightly over the regulated output voltage. During the next cycle, the error amplifier detects the output as being high and skips the following pulse. This effect can be reduced by increasing the minimum load or by increasing the inductor value. Increasing the inductor value reduces peak current, which in turn reduces energy transfer in each cycle. Over Voltage Protection For MLF package of MIC2291, there is an over voltage protection function. If the feedback resistors are discon- nected from the circuit or the feedback pin is shorted to ground, the feedback pin will fall to ground potential. This will cause the MIC2291 to switch at full duty-cycle in an attempt to maintain the feedback voltage. As a result the output voltage will climb out of control. This may cause the switch node voltage to exceed its maximum voltage rating, possibly damaging the IC and the external components. To ensure the highest level of protection, the MIC2291 OVP pin will shut the switch off when an over-voltage condition is detected saving itself and other sensitive circuitry downstream. Component Selection Inductor Inductor selection is a balance between efficiency, stability, cost, size and rated current. For most applications a 10uH is the recommended inductor value. It is usually a good balance between these considerations. Efficiency is affected by inductance value in that larger inductance values reduce the peak to peak ripple current. This has an effect of reducing both the DC losses and the transition losses. There is also a secondary effect of an inductors DC resistance (DCR). The DCR of an inductor will be higher for more inductance in the same package size. This is due to the longer windings required for an increase in inductance. Since the majority of input current (minus the MIC2291 operating current) is passed through the inductor, higher DCR inductors will reduce efficiency. Also, to maintain stability, increasing inductor size will have to be met with an increase in output capacitance. This is due to the unavoidable “right half plane zero” effect for the continuous current boost converter topology. The frequency at which the right half plane zero occurs can be calculated as follows; frhpz V VL I 2 IN 2 OUT OUT = ×× × π The right half plane zero has the undesirable effect of increasing gain, while decreasing phase. This requires that the loop gain is rolled off before this has significant effect on the total loop response. This can be accomplished by either reducing inductance (increasing RHPZ frequency) or in- creasing the output capacitor value (decreasing loop gain). Output Capacitor A 1 µF or greater output capacitor is sufficient for most designs. An X5R or X7R dielectric ceramic capacitors are recommended for designs with the MIC2291. Y5V values may be used, but to offset their tolerance over temperature, more capacitance is required. Diode Selection The MIC2291 requires an external diode for operation. A schottkey diode is recommended for most applications due to their lower forward voltage drop and reverse recovery time. Ensure the diode selected can deliver the peak inductor current, the maximum output current and the maximum reverse voltage is rated greater than the output voltage. Input Capacitor A minimum 1 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended for designing with the MIC2291. Increasing input capacitance will improve performance and greater noise immunity on the source. The input capacitor should be as close as possible to D1 V V IN OUT =− 10 µH C2 1 µF 1-Cell Li Ion R2 MIC2291-34BML VIN EN SW OVP FB GND D1 1A/40V Schottky 3xLED GND GND VIN VOUT |
