Low Quiescent Current  
2 MHz Automotive  
Synchronous Buck Controller  
NCV891930  
The NCV891930 is a 2 MHz fixedfrequency low quiescent current  
buck controller with spread spectrum that operates up to 38 V  
(typical). It may be synchronized to a clock or to separate  
NCV891930. Peak current mode control is employed for fast transient  
response and tight regulation over wide input voltage and output load  
ranges. Feedback compensation is internal to the device, permitting  
design simplification. The NCV891930 is capable of converting from  
an automotive input voltage range of 3.5 V (4.5 V during startup) to  
18 V at a constant base switching frequency above the sensitive AM  
band, eliminating the need for costly filters and EMI countermeasures.  
The switching frequency folds back to 1 MHz for input voltages  
between 20 V up to 38 V (typical). Under load dump conditions up to  
45 V the regulator shuts down. A high voltage bias regulator with  
automatic switchover to an external 5 V bias supply is used for  
improved efficiency. Several protection features such as UVLO,  
current limit, short circuit protection, and thermal shutdown are  
provided. High switching frequency produces low output voltage  
ripple even when using small inductor values and an allceramic  
output filter capacitor, forming a spaceefficient switching solution.

A capacitor technology mix of ceramic and aluminum  
polymer or solid aluminum electrolytic capacitors results in  
a cost effective solution. Nonsolid aluminum electrolytic  
capacitors are not recommended due to their large cold  
temperature ESR properties. An all ceramic solution filter  
implementation using 10 mF capacitor (like the  
GCM32DR71C106KA37) was considered for Table 1 and  
Table 2 for a design objective of 3% transient voltage for  
a 50% load transient. Tolerances used in determining the  
number of required capacitors were:  
AC RMS voltage  
4.4%  
Additional tolerances such as aging may need to be  
considered during the design phase.  
At higher currents, optimal inductor and current sense  
resistor values may become limited. It may be necessary to  
parallel 3 resistor values to achieve the desired current sense  
resistor value. The manufacturer’s inductor tolerance and  
properties must be considered when determining the current  
sense resistor for desired current limiting under worst case  
component values.

Input Voltage  
resulting from VIN, output voltage and operating losses, one  
or more GH turnoff may be skipped to maintain output  
regulation. Despite the default 2 MHz operating frequency,  
this skipped pulse will result in the power stage exhibiting  
a switching frequency of 1 MHz or less.  
An undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit monitors the  
input and can inhibit switching and reset the softstart  
circuit if there is insufficient voltage for proper regulation.  
Depending on the output conditions (voltage option and  
loading), the NCV891930 may lose regulation and run in  
dropout mode before reaching the UVLO threshold. When  
the input voltage is sufficiently low so that the part cannot  
regulate due to maximum duty cycle limitation, the  
highside MOSFET can be kept on continuously for up to  
32 clock cycles (16 μs), to help lower the minimum voltage  
at which the controller loses regulation.  
An overvoltage monitoring circuit automatically  
terminates switching and disables the output if the input  
exceeds 37 V (minimum). However, the NCV891930 can  
withstand input voltages up to 45 V.  
GL has a ~140 ns minimum pulse width requirement when  
VIN < VIN_LOW. Depending on the duty ratio requirement  
To avoid skipping switching pulses and entering an  
uncontrolled mode of operation, the switching frequency is  
reduced by a factor of 2 when input voltage exceeds the V  
IN  
frequency foldback threshold (see Figure 18 below).  
Frequency reduction is automatically terminated when the  
input voltage drops back to below the VIN frequency  
voltage foldback threshold. This also helps limit the  
MOSFET switching power losses and reduce losses for  
generating the drive voltage for the Power Switches at high  
input voltage. Above the frequency foldback threshold,  
improved efficiency may be expected due to the lower  
switching frequency.

pin sinks 1 mA when any of the following conditions are  
present:  
When VSEL is connected to DBIAS via an optional 10 kW  
resistor, the output voltage is programmed to VSEL_HI.  
The output voltage setting option must be selected prior to  
enabling the IC via the EN pin. The voltage setting option  
will be latched prior to initiation of softstart. The voltage  
option latch will be reset whenever the EN pin is toggled or  
during a UVLO event.

VIN < VIN_low threshold

VCCEXT  
VIN supplies VDRV and logic power via the IC’s internal  
LDO. VCCEXT pin is ignored if connected to a voltage less  
than 5 V or is left unconnected. For improved efficiency, an  
external 5 V source may be connected to VCCEXT to permit  
bypassing of the internal LDO (Table 3). The LDO bypass  
efficiency improvement is reduced at lower currents when  
the IC enters pulseskip mode. An IC power consumption  
reduction of about 250 mW has been measured on a demo  
board configured with NVMFS5C468NL power transistors  
at an input voltage of 13 V.  
ICVIN  
A 1 mF decoupling capacitor is recommended between  
ICVIN and ground. PCB layout inductance separating this  
decoupling capacitor and the input EMI capacitor may result  
in low amplitude highQ ringing. A 1 W damping resistor  
between the PCB VIN and ICVIN is recommended.  
Switching noise will be greater at the high side drain than  
at the input EMI ceramic filter capacitor. The trace providing  
voltage to ICVIN should originate from the EMI ceramic  
filter capacitor. The VOUT pin sinks 0 mA under typical

When the NCV891930MW00R2G/AR2G is configured  
for a 5 V output (VSEL connected to DBIAS) and VCCEXT  
is connected to the power supply’s output, VFB and CSN  
traces must be independent from the VCCEXT power trace.  
VDRV circuitry gate drive current pulses circulate through  
the VCCEXT PCB trace. Voltage disturbance from the trace  
parasitic layout inductance will distort CSN and ICVOUT  
measurements.  
The IC structure has a 2 series anodecathode diode path  
between pins VCCEXT and VIN (Figure 19). If the  
controller VIN power source is disconnected while  
VCCEXT is connected to an independent external 5 V  
supply, the diode path will deliver current to the converter’s  
input. VIN pin may remain biased to VCCEXT minus 2  
diode drops and could supply other devices sharing the same  
rail as the IC. To avoid unpredictable operating behaviour,  
the EN pin must be set to a logiclow state to disable PWM  
operation upon disconnection of the IC’s power source and  
independent VCCEXT power source must be disabled if the  
IC VIN rail is shared by other devices.

SoftStart  
Following activation of the EN pin, there will be eight  
~250 ns GL pulses (500 kHz repetition rate) prior to  
initiation of the softstart to charge the bootstrap capacitor.  
During this event, there will be no GH pulses. If VOUT is  
< ~0.2 V at EN activation, the pulses are not required and the  
logic may disable the eight GL pulses.  
Should the power supply output voltage foldback from  
current limiting, it is necessary to prevent the feedback  
opamp from clamping high to avoid output overshoot when  
current limiting ends. If the opamp feedback pin is less than  
750 mV, the SSC pin voltage will be discharged to the opamp  
feedback voltage + 123 mV (Figure 20). Voltage returns to  
nominal regulation via softstart behaviour.  
The NCV891930 features an externally adjustable  
softstart function, which reduces inrush current and  
overshoot of the output voltage. Figure 20 shows a typical  
softstart sequence.  
Softstart is achieved by charging an external softstart  
capacitor connected to the SSC pin via an internal 10 mA  
current source. Should the FB voltage slew rate be less than  
that of the SSC, the SSC pin will be clamped to  
V(FB) + 123 mV. Once the SSC voltage is greater than  
0.75 V, the clamp is released.  
During softstart, the SYNCI function is disabled and the  
controller will operate in diodeemulation mode. Pulse skip  
is allowed. The logic will enable the SYNCI function once  
SSC voltage exceeds 1.075 V.

NCV891930  
Peak Current Mode Control  
As a result of the IC’s CSPCSN high input impedance,  
noise reduction measures should be used for effective noise  
immunity from the current sense feedback traces.  
The NCV891930 incorporates a current mode control  
scheme, in which the PWM ramp signal is derived from the  
power switch current. This ramp signal is compared to the  
output of the error amplifier to control the on*time of the  
power switch. The oscillator is used as the frequency clock  
to ensure a PWM switching operation. The resulting control  
scheme features several advantages over conventional  
voltage mode control. First, derived directly from the  
inductor, the ramp signal responds immediately to line  
voltage transients. This eliminates the delay caused by the  
output filter and the error amplifier, which is commonly  
found in voltage mode controllers. The second benefit  
comes from inherent pulse*by*pulse current limiting by  
merely clamping the peak switching current. Finally, since  
current mode commands an output current rather than  
voltage, the filter offers only a single pole to the feedback  
loop. This permits simpler internal compensation.  
A fixed slope compensation signal is generated internally  
and added to the sensed current to avoid increased output  
voltage ripple due to bifurcation of inductor ripple current  
at duty cycles above 50%. The fixed amplitude of the slope  
compensation signal requires the inductor to be less than a  
maximum value, depending on output voltage, in order to  
avoid subharmonic oscillations. Recommended inductor  
values are described in Table 2. Other values may be  
possible.  
Current sense resistors have a small inherent parasitic  
inductance that will result in a small voltage excursion  
equaling L dI /dt distortion superimposed on the  
RSNS L  
triangular current sense waveform. The differential  
noise resulting from such a distortion can be minimized  
with the use of parallel sense resistors. The amplitude  
of such a distortion is difficult to predict (data not  
normally provided in resistor datasheets), validation of  
current limit response during power supply bench  
evaluation is required  
Trace routing must not be adjacent to a switch node or  
other high noise trace  
Traces should be coincident with of each other on inner  
layers to minimize coupling from external radiated  
fields. Traces should be shielded by a top or bottom  
ground layer (use both layers when possible)  
On layers having the feedback traces, there should  
be a ground poor next on each side of the traces for  
additional shielding  
It is recommended that an output filter ceramic  
capacitor be located near RSNS/RSNS1 to help  
mitigate output switching noise at RSF2  
An optional RCR pfilter on the IC’s CSP/CSN pins  
(Figure 24) is sometimes used to filter differential and  
common mode noise  
Current Sensing (CSPCSN):  
V_CS is derived from VIN. It is a supply input for the  
internal current sense amplifier and should never be used to  
power external circuitry. The V_CS ceramic decoupling  
capacitor a minimum of 50 V voltage rating.  
Kelvin connections to current sense resistor (RSNS) are  
required. CSPCSN feedback nodes must not be inline  
with the power path. An example of a good design practice  
is to connect the sense lines at the center of the inside edge  
of the sense resistors (Figure 23).  
To avoid creating a commonmode noise filter  
imbalance at the IC current sense pins, simple RC  
differential filters are not recommended  
The pfilter must be adjacent to the IC to minimize  
field induced noise sensitivity on the high  
impedance side (IC side) of the filter  
If used, a pfilter 3 dB rolloff frequency > 1 MHz  
is recommended to prevent the filter transfer  
function zero from influencing the feedback loop  
response. RSF1 = RSF2 = 49.9 W and  
CSF1 = 100 pF is a recommended starting point

There is a diode path between ICCSN and ICVOUT.  
This diode path could conduct and interfere with the  
feedback loop if an appreciable voltage drop is present  
between the 2 pins. Intentional voltage drop on the power

(CSN) and the ICVOUT feedback kelvin point is to be  
avoided.

Short Circuit Protection  
When the peak inductor current reaches the current limit  
threshold, dutycycle limiting occurs and output voltage  
will be foldback accordingly.  
A GH pulse skip will occur under severe shortcircuit  
conditions if the inductor current exceeds the peak current  
limit threshold at the beginning of the next GH activation  
cycle. GL pulses will continue to operate during this GH  
pulse skip operation.

offtime is 200 ns (Figure 27). If this occurs while operating  
under light load, the VSW pin has 70 ns to decay below  
0.4 V for the internal logic to set the GL pin high. If the VSW

If the SW pin voltage is still greater than 0.4 V 70 ns  
following the rising edge of the SYNCI pulse, the IC logic  
will send a GL pulse to force a recharge of the bootstrap  
capacitor. The GL pulse width will be no greater than the  
SYNCI pulse width minus 70 ns. The GL pulse width must  
be of sufficient duration to fully turnon the low side  
MOSFET. The time duration required to turnon the low  
side MOSFET will be dependent on the MOSFET’s gate  
charge specification.  
The GH driver is enabled when GL voltage is less than the

A capacitor is placed from VSW to BST and an internal  
bootstrap diode is located between VDRV to BST to create  
a bootstrap supply on the BST pin for the highside floating  
gate driver. This ensures that the voltage on BST is about  
doesn’t run out of headroom. VDRV must supply charge to  
both the BST capacitor and the lowside driver, so the  
VDRV capacitor must be sufficiently larger than the BST  
capacitor. A 10:1 VDRV/BST capacitor ratio is effective. A  
1 mF VDRV capacitor along with a 0.1 mF BST capacitor is  
recommended.  
Careful selection and layout of external components is  
required to realize the full benefit of the onboard drivers.  
The capacitors between VINand GND and between BST and  
VSW must be placed as close as possible to the IC. The

SYNC Feature  
DiodeEmulation Mode  
V_SO is a supply voltage strictly intended for the SYNCO  
output driver and should never be used to power external  
circuitry. The V_SO ceramic decoupling capacitor a  
minimum of 5 V voltage rating. Ground this pin if not used.  
An external pulldown resistor is recommended at the  
SYNCI pin if the function is unused. The SYNCO pulse may  
be used to synchronize other NCV891930 ICs. If a part does  
not have its switching frequency controlled by the SYNCI  
input, the part will operate at the oscillator frequency. A  
rising edge of the SYNCI pulse causes an NCV891930 to  
send a GH pulse. If another rising edge does not arrive at the  
SYNCI pin, the NCV891930 oscillator will take control  
after the master reassertion time delay which may last up to  
3 clock cycles if SYNCI is stopped at logiclow level, up to  
4 cycles if SYNCI is stopped at logichigh level. During the  
master reassertion time, GH will be off and GL will be  
activehigh (i.e. switch node tied to ground). As a result,  
SYNCI operating mode change is not advised.  
Diodeemulation mode is active when SYNCI is either  
open or grounded. A comparator in the current sense block  
detects the CSPCSN voltage transition from a positive  
voltage (positive inductor current) to 0 V (0 A inductor  
current). When 0 A is detected, the bottom GL signal turns  
off the low side MOSFET to prevent negative inductor  
current.  
PulseSkip Mode  
Pulseskipping is used at near discontinuous conduction  
mode operation as a method to improve low current  
operating efficiency. Pulseskip PWM regulation is used to  
mimic discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) behaviour  
(Figure 32). The architecture does not use current sensing  
for pulseskip detection. The current sense amplifier  
response time and its input voltage hysteretic characteristics  
would have resulted in potentially objectionable output  
voltage ripple. Instead, the internal voltage feedback OTA  
compensation output voltage (VCOMP) is used to monitor  
nearDCM operating condition.  
After softstart event, SYNCO becomes active when SSC  
voltage > 1.075 V. V

reduced when VIN is below approximately 5 V.  
During pulseskip mode, the oscillator enters sleep mode  
When VCOMP reaches a predetermined lower voltage  
threshold, the IC control logic enters pulsedskip mode  
to maintain regulation. Some output voltage ripple  
associated with the pulse skipping is to be expected  
for low I operation power management and SYNCO is

inactive. SYNCO functionality resumes when the IC exits  
pulseskip mode.  
When active, SYNC0 is in phase with SYNCI (Figure 31).  
Rise/fall edge waveforms have a typical 10 ns delay relative  
to corresponding SYNCI waveform edges.  
SYNCO will be a fixed frequency 2 MHz signal under

LowI operating mode is entered during

pulseskipping event, permitting higher efficiency  
operation under low output power operation. The  
duration is dependent on operating conditions. When

drops by 7.5% (K ). The VOUT pin sinks 0 mA under

Current Limiting and Overcurrent Protection  
Current limit activation propagation delay between the  
sense resistor reaching the threshold and the GH gate turning  
off is typically about 39 ns delay. Voltage regulation  
continues despite slight increase in peak inductor current as  
a consequence of this current limit propagation delay. If the

When operating under frequency foldback conditions, the  
frequency will be 1 MHz.

Spread spectrum is a method used to reduce the peak  
electromagnetic emissions of a switching regulator.  
In SMPS devices, switching translates to higher  
efficiency. As a consequence, the switching also leads to a  
higher EMI profile. We can greatly reduce some of the peak

Figure 34. Spread Spectrum Comparison  
The NCV891930 has spread spectrum functionality for  
reduced peak radiated emissions. This IC uses a  
pseudorandom generator to set the oscillator frequency to  
one of 8 discrete frequency bins. Each digital bin represents  
a shift in frequency by 40 kHz over the range 2.0 MHz to  
2.28 MHz. Over time, each bin is used an equal number of  
times to ensure an even spread of the spectrum. This reduces  
the peak energy at the fundamental 2 MHz frequency, and  
spreads it into a wider band.  
The period of each cycle will change inversely to the  
switching frequency but the duty cycle, however, will  
remain constant.  
Thermal Shutdown  
A thermal shutdown circuit inhibits switching and resets  
the softstart circuit if internal temperature exceeds a safe  
level indicated by the thermal shutdown activation  
temperature (T ). Switching is automatically restored  
SD  
when temperature returns to a safe level based on the thermal  
shutdown hysteresis (T  
).

During the brief time duration when both highside and

Design Methodology  
case, the frequency can be programmed to a lower value  
with ROSC and then a higherfrequency signal can be  
applied to the SYNC pin to increase the frequency  
dynamically to avoid given frequencies. A spread spectrum  
signal could also be used for the SYNC input, as long as the  
lowest frequency in the range is above the programmed  
frequency set by ROSC. Additionally, the highest SYNC  
frequency must not exceed maximum switching frequency  
limits.  
Choosing external components encompasses the following  
design process:  
1. Operational parameter definition  
2. Switching frequency selection (ROSC)  
3. Output inductor selection  
4. Current sense resistor selection  
5. Output capacitor selection  
6. Input capacitor selection  
There are two limits on the maximum allowable switching  
frequency: minimum offtime and minimum ontime.  
These set two different maximum switching frequencies, as  
follows:  
7. Thermal considerations  
(1) Operational Parameter Definition  
Before proceeding with the rest of the design, certain  
operational parameters must be defined. These are  
application dependent and include the following:

The switching frequency is programmed by selecting the  
resistor connected between the ROSC pin and ground. The  
grounded side of this resistor should be directly connected  
to the GND pin. Avoid running any noisy signals beneath the  
resistor, as injected noise could cause frequency jitter. The  
graph in Figure 33 shows the required resistance to program  
the frequency.

These are ideal duty cycle expressions; actual duty cycles  
will be marginally higher than these values. Actual duty  
cycles are dependent on load due to voltage drops in the  
MOSFETs, inductor and current sense resistor.  
(3) Output Inductor Selection  
Both mechanical and electrical considerations influence  
the selection of an output inductor. From a mechanical  
perspective, smaller inductor values generally correspond to  
smaller physical size. Since the inductor is often one of the  
largest components in the power supply, a minimum  
inductor value is particularly important in space−  
constrained applications. From an electrical perspective, an  
inductor is chosen for a set amount of ripple current and to  
assure adequate transient response.  
(2) Switching Frequency Selection (ROSC)  
Selecting the switching frequency is a tradeoff between  
component size and power losses. Operation at higher  
switching frequencies allows the use of smaller inductor and  
capacitor values to achieve the same inductor current ripple  
and output voltage ripple. However, increasing the  
frequency increases the switching losses of the MOSFETs,  
leading to decreased efficiency, especially noticeable at light  
loads.  
Larger inductor values limit the switcher’s ability to slew  
current through the output inductor in response to output  
Typically, the switching frequency is selected to avoid  
interfering with signals of known frequencies. Often, in this

: peak inductor current at rated output current [A]  
K: design margin to account for inductor variation as well as  
extra current required to support load transient response. A  
value of ~120% is commonly used [%].  
While the inductor is slewing current during this time,  
output capacitors must supply the load current. Therefore,  
decreasing the inductance allows for less output capacitance  
to hold the output voltage up during a load transient.

value for a duty ratio D normally selected at the nominal  
input operating voltage. The inductor value may be  
calculated using the following expression:

due to their low 40 C/25 C ESR ratio. Use of EMI bulk  
Inductor saturation current is specified by inductor  
manufacturers as the current at which the inductance value  
has dropped a certain percentage from the nominal value,  
typically 1030%. It is recommended to choose an inductor  
with saturation current sufficiently higher than the peak  
output current, such that the inductance is very close to the  
nominal value at the peak output current. This introduces a  
safety factor and allows for more optimized compensation.  
Inductor efficiency is another consideration when  
selecting an output inductor. Inductor losses include DC and  
AC winding losses as well as core losses. Core losses are  
proportional to the amplitude of the ripple current and  
operating frequency.  
AC winding losses are based on the AC resistance of the  
winding and the RMS ripple current through the inductor,  
which is much lower than the DC current. AC winding losses  
are due to skin and proximity effects and are typically much  
less than the DC losses, but increase with frequency. The DC  
winding losses in the inductor can be calculated with the  
following equation:  
°
°
capacitors having a high 40 C/25 C ESR ratio may result  
in an ineffective output filter along with potential stability  
issues under cold temperature operating conditions.  
The output capacitor is a basic component for the fast  
response of the power supply. During the first few  
microseconds following a load step, it supplies the  
incremental load current. The controller immediately  
recognizes the load step and increases the duty cycle, but the  
current slew rate is limited by the inductor. During a load  
release, the output voltage will overshoot. The capacitance  
will decrease this undesirable response, decreasing the  
amount of voltage overshoot.  
The worst case is when initial current is at the current limit  
and the initial voltage is at the output voltage set point,  
calculating. The overshoot is:

(4) Current Sense Resistor Selection  
[F]  
OS(MAX)  
Current sensing for peak current mode control relies on  
the amplitude of the inductor current. The current is  
translated into a voltage via a current sense resistor placed  
in series with the output inductor located between the output  
inductor and capacitors. The resulting voltage is then  
measured differentially by a current sense amplifier,  
generating a singleended output to use as a control signal.  
If a current sense pfilter is implemented as in Figure 24, the  
following expression may be used to determine the current  
sense resistor value.

A maximum amount of capacitance can be found based on  
the output inductor overshoot current and current limit. To  
calculate the output inductor startup overshoot current, the

During softstart, the inductor current must provide current  
where: P

to the load as well as current to charge the output capacitor.  
The current limit defines the maximum current which the  
inductor is allowed to conduct. Setting the inrush current to  
the current limit places a limit on the maximum capacitor  
value (inductor ripple current not considered) as follows:  
R

ESR(CIN)  
capacitance  
Due to large current transients through the input  
capacitors, electrolytic, polymer or ceramics should be used.  
Aluminum electrolytic specifications often require closer  
scrutiny due to poor ESR cold temperature characteristics.  
As a result of the large ripple current, it is common to place  
ceramic capacitors in parallel with the bulk  
electrolytic/polymer input capacitors to reduce switching  
voltage ripple. A value of 0.01 μF to 0.1 μF placed near the  
MOSFETs is also recommended.

Capacitors should also be chosen to provide acceptable  
output voltage ripple with a DC load, in addition to limiting  
voltage overshoot during a dynamic response. Key  
specifications are equivalent series resistance (ESR) and  
equivalent series inductance (ESL). The output capacitors  
must have very low ESL for best transient response. The  
PCB traces will add to the ESL, but by positioning the output  
capacitors close to the load, this effect can be minimized and  
ESL neglected when determining output voltage ripple.

(6) Input Capacitor Selection  
The input EMI capacitors must sustain the ripple current

High frequency layout methods dictate that the  
controller will be placed near the synchronous  
MOSFET switches. Inadequate thermal management  
of the power dissipating devices will result in  
significant localized PCB temperature rise from  
thermal coupling between devices and caseambient  
thermal resistances. Resulting IC (and MOSFET)  
case temperatures may become significantly higher  
than ambient temperature
