40V, 4.2A HIGH PERFORMANCE CV/CC QUICK CHARGER SYNCHRONOUS  
DESCRIPTION  
FEATURES  
AP7442 is a High Efficiency Synchronous DC-DC  
Buck Converters with CV / CC modes, which can  
output up to 4.2 A in a wide input range from 6 V to  
36 V. The A7442 operates either in CV (Constant  
Voltage) mode or CC (Constant Current) mode.  
With the CV / CC mode, adjustable current limit and  
output voltage, the A7442 is particularly suitable for  
QC 2.0 / 3.0 (12V / 1.5A, 9V / 2A and 5V / 3A),  
Type-C PD (5 V / 3 A) and Apple portable device  
(5V / 2.4A) applications. The output voltage and CC  
limit can be programed through the FB, CSP and  
CSN pins respectively.  
In order to achieve better EMI performance and  
comply with Apple’s MFi standard, the switching  
frequency was fixed at 130kHz. A7442 is capable to  
operate in CC mode down to 3V output voltage to  
protect the soft-short condition that is from the over  
current of the portable device  
A discharge circuitry is integrated to quickly and  
reliably discharge output capacitors to avoid the  
faulty voltage delivery in case of output over voltage  
and ensure safe operation for QC 2.0 / 3.0  
application. The hiccup mode output Under Voltage  
Protection(UVP) can reduce the average input  
current to 50mA. Features such as output cord  
voltage drop compensation and low voltage drop  
operation is especially suitable for car charger.

DETAILED INFORMATION  
Operation  
The A7442 is a monolithic high efficiency synchronous buck converters with CV / CC modes. It utilizes  
internal MOSFETs to achieve high efficiency and up to 4.2A output current in a wide input range from 6V to  
36V. The output voltage and constant current limit can be programed through the FB, CSP and CSN pins  
respectively. The A7442 is capable to operate in CC mode down to 3V output voltage to protect the soft-short  
condition that is from the over current of the portable device.  
With the slope compensated current mode PWM control, provides stable switching and cycle-by-cycle current  
limit for excellent load and line responses and protection of the internal switches. During normal operation, the  
internal main switch is turned on for a certain time to ramp up the inductor current at each rising edge of the  
internal oscillator, and turned off when the peak inductor current is above the error voltage. The current  
comparator limits the peak inductor current. Once the main switch is turned off, the synchronous rectifier will  
be turned on immediately and stay on until either the inductor current decay to zero, as indicated by the zero  
current comparator or the beginning of the next clock cycle.  
Compensation for Output Cord Voltage Drop  
In charger applications, the voltage drop across the output cord is significant in high current charging process.  
In some cases, excessive voltage drop across the output cord will even extend the charging time if high  
impedance output cord is used. The A7442 integrated a cable compensation function. When the output  
current increases, the CC pin sinks current into the IC to increase the voltage drop across the resistor, RCC, in  
order to increase the output voltage. The sinking current of the CC pin is proportional to the voltage across  
CSP and CSN pins. Thus, the cable compensation function can increase the output voltage according to the  
load. The increment of the voltage measured at CSP pin(VCSP) is called Cable Compensation  
Voltage(VCCOMP). The value of RCC determines the gain of the cable compensation. After taking the  
voltage drop across the sensing resistor, RS, the value of RCC can be calculated using Equation 1.

40V, 4.2A HIGH PERFORMANCE CV/CC QUICK CHARGER SYNCHRONOUS  
Programmable CV / CC Mode Control  
The A7442 features a CV / CC function. It operates either in CV mode or CC mode. The CV and the CC limits  
can be programed through FB, CSP and CSN pins respectively. With the programmable output voltage and  
constant current limit. The device is particularly suitable for QC 2.0, QC 3.0 Type-C PD and Apple portable  
device applications.  
The CC mode provides an accurate current limiting function which is programed through the sensing resistor,  
RS. Output current can increase until it reaches the CC limit set by the sensing resistor. At this point, the  
A7442 will transit from regulating output voltage to regulating output current, and the output voltage will drop  
with increasing load. The A7442 can output up to 4.2A current at 5V output voltage. In general, 3A output  
current is sufficient for charging purpose at 5 V output voltage. Figure 1 shows the CC limit verse sensing  
resistor, RS. In this case, the CC limit should be set at a level which is about 10% higher than 3A. A 18mΩ  
sensing resistor should be selected for ensuring 3A continuous output current. The CC limit is adaptive at  
different output voltages which is particularly useful in QC 2.0 / 3.0 application.  
Figure 1. Constant Current Limit vs. Sensing Resistor  
In CV mode, the feedback voltage is regulated at 1V and the output voltage is programed by the feedback  
divider RCC, R1 and R2. RCC and R1 together form the upper feedback resistor and R2 is the lower feedback  
resistor. The output voltage at no load can be calculated using Equation 2.

40V, 4.2A HIGH PERFORMANCE CV/CC QUICK CHARGER SYNCHRONOUS  
Cycle by Cycle Peak Current Limit  
The peak current limit prevents the A7442 from high inductor current and drawing excessive current from the  
input voltage rail. Excessive current might occur with a shorted or saturated inductor or a heavy load or a  
shorted output circuit condition. If the inductor current reaches the peak limit threshold, the high-side  
MOSFET is turned off and the low-side MOSFET is turned on to ramp down the inductor current.  
Output Auto Discharge  
The A7442 is designed for working with USB Interface IC (QC 2.0 / 3.0). Regarding to the output voltage  
changing capability of this application, the A7442 integrates an output auto discharge path to discharge the  
output capacitor at 60mA typically once the voltage at the FB pin raise above 113% of feedback voltage  
threshold. The function is crucial in high voltage charging scheme.  
For instant, the output capacitor is charged-up by the high voltage which is set by the portable device. After  
the portable device is unplugged, the output capacitor takes time to be discharged if there is no high current  
discharge path. There is a chance that a conventional 5V portable device is damaged by a high voltage once  
it is connected to the power supply immediately after the detachment of QC 2.0 / 3.0 portable device.  
Input Under-voltage Lockout(UVLO)  
An input UVLO circuit prevents the converter from starting the operation until the input voltage rises above the  
typical UVLO threshold of 4.4V.  
Input Over Voltage Protection(OVP)  
The input OVP is an additional function to protect the device from damage in a condition which is above the  
specified input voltage range. Once the input voltage is raising above input OVP threshold, 39.5V typically,  
the A7442 stops switching to reduce the chance of damage by the voltage spike at SW pin. The device goes  
back to normal operation until the input voltage falls a hysteresis about 2.5V below the input OVP threshold.  
Output Over Voltage Protection(OVP)  
There are two individual output OVP functions in the A7442. Those are CSP OVP and FB OVP. The CSP  
OVP senses the output voltage directly. If the voltage at CSP pin is detected above CSP OVP threshold of  
14V(typ.), the device stops switching immediately until the voltage at the CSP pin drops the hysteresis voltage  
lower than CSP OVP threshold. This function prevents the device as well as the output capacitors from  
damage by high voltage on the output even though the feedback resistors are faulty opened.  
The operation of FB OVP is very similar to the CSP OVP except that it detects the voltage of the FB pin(VFB).  
Once VFB raises above 113% of the feedback voltage threshold, the FB OVP will be triggered immediately  
and stop switching. This OVP condition will be remove until VFB drop 2% lower than FB OVP threshold.

40V, 4.2A HIGH PERFORMANCE CV/CC QUICK CHARGER SYNCHRONOUS  
Hiccup Mode Output Under Voltage Protection(UVP)  
There is a CSP UVP threshold. If the threshold is hit, the hiccup mode output UVP will be triggered by  
disabling the converter and restarts soft-start after a predefined interval about 0.7s. The A7442 repeats this  
mode until the under voltage condition is removed. This function prevents the damage of the system from  
hard-short condition and a soft-short condition from the over current of portable device.  
Soft-start  
The A7442 implements the soft-start function to reduce the inrush current during startup. The soft-start begins  
once the input voltage raises above typical UVLO threshold of 4.4V. The soft-start time is typically 1.6ms.  
Thermal Shutdown  
A thermal shutdown is implemented to prevent the damage due to excessive heat and power dissipation.  
Typically, the thermal shutdown happens at the junction temperature of 165°C. When the thermal shutdown is  
triggered, the device stops switching until the junction temperature drops the hysteresis temperature lower  
than thermal shutdown threshold, then the device starts switching again.

Setting the Output Voltage  
The feedback resistors, R1 and R2, together with the cable compensation resistor, RCC, program the output  
voltage at no load condition according to the Equation 2.  
For QC 2.0 / 3.0 applications, the upper feedback resistor(RCC + R1) is fixed at 100kΩ generally for  
compatibility. Thus, R1 = 100- 18= 82kΩ. By subtitling RCC, R1 and VOUT into the Equation 2, R2 = 25kΩ  
(24.9kΩ is the closest standard value).

Inductor Selection  
Since the selection of the inductor affects the power supply’s steady state operation, transient behavior, loop  
stability, and overall efficiency, the inductor is the most important component in switch power regulator design.  
Three most important specifications to the performance of the inductor are the inductor value, DC resistance,  
and saturation current.  
The A7442 designed to work with inductor values between 15μH to 47μH. A 15μH inductor is typically  
available in a smaller or lower-profile package, while a 47μH inductor produces lower inductor current ripple. If  
the output current is limited by the peak current limit of the IC, using a 47μH inductor can maximize the  
converter’s output current capability.  
The tolerance of inductors can be ranging from 10% to 30%. The inductance will further decrease 20% to  
35% from the value of zero bias current depending on the definition of saturation by inductor manufacturers.  
The basic requirements of selecting an inductor are the saturation current must be higher than the peak  
switching current and the DC rated current is higher than the average inductor current in normal operation. In  
buck converter, the average inductor current is equal to the output current. The inductor value can be derived  
from the Equation 3.

Lower inductor value results in higher ripple current and vice versa. Choose inductor ripple current

VCCOMP, ΔIL and FSW(typ.) into the above equation, the inductor value, L, is 31.3μH.  
The common inductor value is 33μH.  
The saturation current of the inductor must be higher than the maximum output current, 3.5A, plus half of the  
inductor ripple current in the worst case, i.e. highest operating VIN(36V) lowest FSW(109kHz), lowest inductor  
value(-10 ~ -30% from nominal value), to prevent the core from saturation. Table 3 lists a typical toroid  
inductor specification that meets target application for the design requirement.

Input Capacitor Selection  
The input capacitor reduces the surge current drawn from the input and the switching noise from the converter.  
The input capacitor impedance at the switching frequency should be less than the input source impedance to  
prevent high frequency switching current passing to the input. A low ESR input capacitor sized for maximum  
RMS current must be used. Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor(MLCC) with X5R or X7R dielectric is highly  
recommended because of their low ESR, low temperature coefficients and compact size characteristics. A  
22μF MLCC is sufficient for most of applications.  
Output Capacitor Selection  
The output capacitor is required to keep the output voltage ripple small and to ensure regulation loop stability.  
The output capacitor must have low impedance at the switching frequency. MLCC with X5R or X7R dielectric  
Is recommended due to their low ESR, low temperature coefficients and compact size characteristics. The  
output ripple, ΔVOUT, is determined by:  
VOUTx (VIN - VOUT)  
VIN X FSW X L

ΔVOUT  
x ESR +

8 x FSW x COUT   
Layout Considerations  
When doing the PCB layout, the following suggestions should be taken into consideration to ensure proper  
operation of the A7442. These suggestions are also illustrated graphically in Figure 2 and Figure 3.  
1. The power path including the GND trace, the SW trace and the VIN trace should be as short as possible,  
direct and wide.  
2. The FB pin should be connected directly to the center point of the output feedback resistors divider.  
3. The resistor divider must be connected to the output capacitor and GND pin directly.  
4. The input decoupling MLCC should be placed as close to the VIN and GND pins as possible and  
connected to input power plane and ground plane directly. This capacitor provides the AC current to the  
internal power MOSFET.  
5. The power path between the output MLCC, C5, and the power inductor should be kept short and the other  
terminal of the capacitor should connect to the ground plane directly to reduce noise emission.  
6. Keep the switching node, SW, away from the sensitive FB node.  
7. Keep the negative terminals of input capacitor and output capacitor as close as possible.  
8. Use Kelvin sense connection techniques from the sensing resistor, Rs, pads directly to the CSP and CSN  
pins to achieve accurate CC limit.  
9. Use large copper plane and thermal vias for GND for the best heat dissipation and noise immunity.
