LM2744 Low Voltage N-Channel MOSFET Synchronous Buck Regulator Controller with  
External Reference  
Check for Samples: LM2744

FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
The LM2744 is a high-speed synchronous buck  
regulator controller with an externally adjustable  
reference voltage (between 0.5V to 1.5V). It can  
provide simple down conversion to output voltages as  
low as 0.5V. Though the control sections of the IC  
are rated for 3 to 6V, the driver sections are designed  
to accept input supply rails as high as 16V. 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  
MOSFETs in both the high-side and low-side  
positions. It senses the low-side switch voltage drop  
for providing a simple, adjustable current limit.

Power Stage Input Voltage from 1V to 16V  
Control stage Input Voltage from 3V to 6V  
Output Voltage Adjustable Down to 0.5V  
Power Good Flag and Shutdown  
Output Overvoltage and Undervoltage  
Detection  
External Reference Voltage 0.5V to 1.5V  
Low-side Adjustable Current Sensing  
Adjustable Soft-Start  
Tracking and Sequencing with Shutdown and  
Soft Start Pins  
Switching Frequency from 50 kHz to 1 MHz  
14-Pin TSSOP Package  
The fixed-frequency voltage-mode PWM control  
architecture is adjustable from 50 kHz to 1 MHz with  
one external resistor. This wide range of switching  
frequency gives the power supply designer the  
flexibility to make better tradeoffs between  
component size, cost and efficiency.  
APPLICATIONS  
3.3V Buck Regulation  
Cable Modem, DSL and ADSL  
Laser Jet and Ink Jet Printers  
Low Voltage Power Modules  
DSP, ASIC, Core and I/O  
Features include soft-start, input undervoltage lockout  
(UVLO) and Power Good (based on both  
undervoltage and overvoltage 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.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS  
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  
MOSFETs.  
BOOT (Pin 1) -  
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.  
LG (Pin 2) -  
Power ground. This is also the ground for the low-side MOSFET driver. This pin must be connected on the PCB  
ground plane, which is usually also the system ground.  
PGND (Pin 3) -  
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.  
Supply rail for the control sections of the IC.  
VCC (Pin 5)  
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. The voltage on this pin is thus pulled low under output fault conditions  
(undervoltage or overvoltage) and also under UVLO.  
PWGD (Pin 6) -  
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).  
ISEN (Pin 7) -  
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  
EAO (Pin 8) - .  
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 reference voltage. For  
the basic soft-start function, a capacitor of minimum value 1nF is connected from this pin to ground. To track the  
rising ramp of another power supply’s output, connect a resistor divider from the output of that supply to this pin as  
described in Application Information  
Feedback pin. This is the inverting input of the error amplifier, which is used for sensing the output voltage and  
compensating the control loop.  
FB (Pin 10) -  
Frequency adjust pin. The switching frequency is set by connecting a resistor of suitable value between this pin and  
ground. The equation for calculating the exact value is provided in Application Information, but some typical values  
(rounded up to the nearest standard values) are 324 kfor 100 kHz, 97.6 kfor 300 kHz, 56.2 kfor 500 kHz,  
24.9 kfor 1 MHz.  
FREQ (Pin 11) -  
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.  
SD (Pin 12) -  
External reference. This goes to the non-inverting input of the error amplifier. Any desired reference voltage  
between 0.5V to 1.5V can be connected to this pin (with appropriate filtering if necessary).  
VREF (Pin 13) -  
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  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
The LM2744 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 converters. 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.  
START UP/SOFT-START  
When VCC exceeds 2.76V 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 LM2744 reference voltage. 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:  
CSS = tSS / (100 x VREF  
)
where  
CSS is in µF  
tSS is in ms  
(1)  
During soft-start the Power Good flag is forced low and it is released when the FB pin voltage reaches 70% of  
VREF. At this point the chip enters normal operation mode, and the output overvoltage and undervoltage  
monitoring starts.  
NORMAL OPERATION  
While in normal operation mode, the LM2744 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:  
+
RFB1 RFB2  
VOUT  
=
VREF  
RFB1  
(2)  
The PWM frequency is adjustable between 50 kHz and 1 MHz and is set by an external resistor, RFADJ, between  
the FREQ pin and ground. The resistance needed for a desired frequency is approximately:  
107  
FSW  
1012  
+ 0.24  
RFADJ = -5.93 + 3.06  
F2  
SW  
where  
FSW is in Hz  
RFADJ is in k  
(3)  
TRACKING A VOLTAGE LEVEL  
The LM2744 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 LM2744 will be controlled by the master  
supply for loads that require precise sequencing. Because the output of the master supply is divided down, in  
order to track properly the output voltage of the LM2744 must be lower than the voltage of the master supply.  
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 1nF between the soft-start pin and ground should be used.

Figure 21. 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 LM2744’s output voltage (represented symbolically in Figure 21 as VOUT2, i.e. without  
explicitly showing the power components) both rise together and reach their target values at the same time. For  
this case, the equation governing the values of the tracking divider resistors RT1 and RT2 is:  
RT1  
VREF + 0.05 =  
RT1 + RT2  
(4)  
The current through RT1 should be about 3-4 mA for precise tracking. The final voltage of the SS/TRACK pin  
should be set slightly higher than the reference voltage (say about 50mV higher as in the above equation). If the  
master supply voltage was 5V and the LM2744 output voltage was 1.8V, for example, then the value of RT1  
needed to give the two supplies identical soft-start times would be 150if VREF was set to 0.6V. A timing  
diagram for the equal soft-start time case is shown in Figure 22.

Figure 22. 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 LM2744  
always reaches regulation before the output voltage of the master supply. In this case, the tracking resistors can  
be determined based on the following equation:  
RT1  
VOUT2  
=
VOUT1  
RT1 + RT2  
(5)  
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 267. A timing diagram for the case of equal slew rates is shown in Figure 23.

SEQUENCING  
The start up/soft-start of the LM2744 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 24.

Figure 24. Sequencing Circuit  
A desired delay time tDELAY between the startup of the master supply output voltage and the LM2744 output  
voltage can be set based on the SD pin low-to-high threshold VSD-IH and the slew rate of the voltage at the SD  
pin, SRSD  
:
tDELAY = VSD-IH / SRSD  
(6)  
Note again, that in Figure 24, the LM2744’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 equation:  
RS1  
SRSD = SROUT1  
RS1 + RS2  
(7)  
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 LM2744 output voltage was 5ms, then the desired SD pin slew rate would be  
(1.08V/5ms) = 0.216V/ms. Due to the internal impedance of the SD pin, the maximum recommended value for  
RS2 is 1k. To achieve the desired slew rate, RS2 would then be 274. A timing diagram for this example is  
shown in Figure 25.

SD PIN IMPEDANCE  
When connecting a resistor divider to the SD pin of the LM2744 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 26. This current is used to create the  
internal hysteresis (170mV); 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 1k).

MOSFET GATE DRIVERS  
The LM2744 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 LM2744 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). To fully turn the top MOSFET on, the BOOT voltage must be at least one gate threshold greater  
than VIN when the high-side drive goes high. This bootstrap voltage is usually supplied from a local charge pump  
structure. But looking at the Typical Application schematic, this also means that the difference voltage VCC - VD1  
,
which is the voltage the bootstrap capacitor charges up to, must be always greater than the maximum tolerance  
limit of the threshold voltage of the upper MOSFET. Here VD1 is the forward voltage drop across the bootstrap  
diode D1. This therefore may place restrictions on the minimum input voltage and/or type of MOSFET used.  
The most basic charge bootstrap pump circuit can be built using one Schottky diode and a small capacitor, as  
shown in Figure 27. 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 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 ensured to turn on, or may have much higher on-resistance at 2.5V. Sub-logic level MOSFETs, usually  
specified at VGS = 2.5V, will work, but are more expensive, and tend to have higher on-resistance. The circuit in  
Figure 27 works well for input voltages ranging from 1V up to 16V and VCC = 5V ±10%, because the drive  
voltage depends only on VCC

providing efficient drive for logic level MOSFETs. An example of this circuit is shown in Figure 28.

Figure 28. LP8340 Feeding Basic Charge Pump  
Figure 29 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 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 circuitry is directly proportional to gate drive voltage, hence the thermal limits of the LM2744 IC will  
quickly be reached if this circuit is used with VCC or VIN voltages over 5V.

POWER GOOD SIGNAL  
The Power Good signal is an OR-gated flag which takes into account both output overvoltage and undervoltage  
conditions. If the feedback pin (FB) voltage is 18% above its nominal value or falls 28% below that value 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 LM2744 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 VREF  
.

UVLO  
The 2.76V turn-on threshold on VCC has a built in hysteresis of about 300mV. If VCC drops below 2.42V, the chip  
enters UVLO mode. UVLO consists of turning off the top and bottom MOSFETS and remaining in that condition  
until VCC rises above 2.76V. As with shutdown, 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:  
VDS = IOUT * RDSON  
(8)  
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 of 40 µA 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. RCS can be found  
by using the following equation:  
RCS = RDSON x ILIM / 40 µA  
(9)  
For example, a conservative 15A current limit in a 10A design with a minimum RDSON of 10mwould require a  
3.74kresistor. Because current sensing is done across the low-side MOSFET, no minimum high-side on-time is  
necessary. The LM2744 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 on. (The point of peak inductor  
current, see Figure 30). Note that in normal operation mode the high-side MOSFET always 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 LM2744 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 operation.

Figure 30. 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 typical 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:

IPK-CL = ILIM + (TOSC - 200ns)  
where  
TOSC is the inverse of switching frequency FSW  
(10)  
The 200ns term represents the minimum off-time of the duty cycle, which ensures enough time for correct  
operation of the current sensing circuitry.  
In order to minimize the time period in which peak inductor current exceeds the current limit threshold, the IC  
also discharges the soft-start capacitor through a fixed 90 µA sink. The output of the LM2744 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 will be reduced in  
turn to a flat level equal to the current limit threshold. The third benefit of the soft-start capacitor discharge 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 LM2744 enters shutdown mode, and discharges the soft-start  
capacitor through a MOSFET switch. The high and low-side MOSFETs are turned off. The LM2744 remains in  
this state as long as VSD sees a logic low (see the Electrical Characteristics 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).  
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 300kHz. The same procedures can be followed to create many  
other designs with varying input voltages, output voltages, and load currents.  
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 capability and their ability to withstand the heat  
generated since that ripple current passes through their ESR. Input rms ripple current is approximately:  
IRMS_RIP = IOUT  
x
D(1 - D)  
where  
duty cycle D = VOUT/VIN  
(11)  
The power dissipated by each input capacitor is:  
(IRMS_RIP)2 x ESR  
PCAP  
=
n2  
where  
n is the number of capacitors  
ESR is the equivalent series resistance of each capacitor  
(12)  
The equation above indicates that power loss in each capacitor decreases 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 (ΔIOUT). The inductance  
is chosen by selecting between tradeoffs in efficiency and response time. The smaller the output inductor, the  
more quickly the converter can respond to transients in the load current. However, as shown in the efficiency  
calculations, a smaller inductor requires a higher switching frequency to maintain the same level of output current  
ripple. An increase in frequency can mean increasing loss in the MOSFETs due to the charging 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:  
VIN - VOUT  
x D  
L =  
DIOUT x FSW  
(13)  
3.3V - 1.2V  
1.2V  
3.3V  
x
L =  
0.4 x 4A x 300 kHz  
(14)  
(15)  
L = 1.6µH  
Here we have plugged in the values for output current ripple, input voltage, output voltage, switching frequency,  
and assumed 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*ΔIOUT) =  
4.8A, for a 4A design. The Coilcraft DO3316P-222P is 2.2 µH, is rated to 7.4A peak, and has a direct current  
resistance (DCR) of 12m.  
After selecting an output inductor, inductor current ripple should be re-calculated with the new inductance value,  
as this information is needed to select the output capacitor. Re-arranging the equation used to select inductance  
yields the following:  
VIN(max) - VO  
x D  
DIOUT  
=
fSW x LACTUAL  
(16)  
VIN(MAX) is assumed to be 10% above the steady state input voltage, or 3.6V. The actual current ripple will then  
be 1.2A. Peak inductor/switch current will be 4.6A.  
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 (ΔVOUT) 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, tantalum, 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 capacitors 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 frequency, 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, ΔVOUT and the designed output current ripple, ΔIOUT  
,
is:  
DVOUT  
ESRMAX  
=
DIOUT  
(17)  
In this example, in order to maintain a 2% peak-to-peak output voltage ripple and a 40% peak-to-peak inductor  
current ripple, the required maximum ESR is 20m. The Sanyo 4SP560M electrolytic capacitor will give an  
equivalent ESR of 14m. The capacitance of 560 µF is enough to supply energy even to meet severe load  
transient demands.

MOSFETs  
Selection of the power MOSFETs is governed by a tradeoff between cost, size, and efficiency. One method is to  
determine 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 ensured, however. Single-channel buck regulators that use a controller IC and discrete  
MOSFETs tend to be most efficient for output currents of 2-10A.  
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:  
PC = D (IO2 x RDSON-HI x 1.3) (High-Side MOSFET)  
PC = (1 - D) x (IO2 x RDSON-LO x 1.3) (Low-Side MOSFET)  
(18)  
(19)  
In the above equations the factor 1.3 accounts for the increase 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.  
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)  
QGS is the gate charge of the MOSFET  
(20)  
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 LM2744, and not in the MOSFET itself.  
Switching loss occurs during the brief transition period as the high-side MOSFET turns on and off, during which  
both current 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  
(21)  
Switching loss occurs in the high-side MOSFET only.  
For this example, the maximum drain-to-source voltage applied to either MOSFET is 3.6V. The maximum drive  
voltage at the gate of the high-side MOSFET is 3.1V, and the maximum 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 tradeoff between size, cost, and  
efficiency.  
Support Components  
CIN2 - 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 MOSFETs make this easy). This capacitor should be X5R  
type dielectric or better.  
RCC, CCC- These are standard filter components designed to ensure smooth DC voltage for the chip supply. RCC  
should be 1-10. CCC should be 1 µF, X5R type or better.  
CBOOT- Bootstrap capacitor, typically 100nF.  
RPULL-UP – This is a standard pull-up resistor for the open-drain power good signal (PWGD). The recommended  
value is 10 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.

RCS - Resistor used to set the current limit. Since the design calls for a peak current magnitude (IOUT+0.5*ΔIOUT  
)
of 4.8A, a safe setting would be 6A. (This is below the saturation current of the output inductor, which is 7A.)  
Following the equation from the Current Limit section, a 1.3kresistor should be used.  
RFADJ - This resistor is used to set the switching frequency of the chip. The resistor value is calculated from  
equation in Normal Operation section. For 300 kHz operation, a 97.6 kresistor should be used.  
CSS - The soft-start capacitor depends on the user requirements and is calculated based on the equation given in  
the section titled START UP/SOFT-START. Therefore, for a 700 µs delay, a 12nF capacitor is suitable.  
Control Loop Compensation  
The LM2744 uses voltage-mode (‘VM’) PWM control to correct changes in output voltage due to line and load  
transients. One of the attractive advantages of voltage mode control is its relative immunity to noise and layout.  
However VM requires careful small signal compensation of the control loop for achieving high bandwidth and  
good phase margin.  
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  
LM2744 is a 9MHz op-amp used in the classic inverting configuration. Figure 31 shows the regulator and control  
loop components.

Figure 31. Power Stage and Error Amp  
One popular method for selecting the compensation components 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 1.0VP-P for the LM2744. The inductor and output capacitor create a  
double pole at frequency fDP, and the capacitor ESR and capacitance create a single zero at frequency fESR. For  
this example, with VIN = 3.3V, these quantities are:

In the equation for fDP, the variable RL is the power stage resistance, and represents the inductor DCR plus the  
on resistance of the high-side MOSFET. RO is the output voltage divided by output current. The power stage

Figure 32. Power Stage Gain and Phase  
The double pole at 4.5kHz causes the phase to drop to approximately -130° at around 10kHz. The ESR zero, at  
20.3kHz, provides a +90° boost that prevents the phase from dropping to -180º. If this loop were left  
uncompensated, the bandwidth would be approximately 10kHz 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.  
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 frequency. The gain of the error amplifier transfer function is selected to give the best bandwidth  
possible without violating the Nyquist stability criteria. In practice, a good crossover point is one-fifth of the  
switching frequency, or 60kHz for this example. The generic equation for the error amplifier transfer function is:  
s

2pfZ2  
GEA = AEA  
x
s
s
+ 1  
s

2pfP1  
2pfP2  
(26)  
In this equation the variable AEA is a ratio of the values of the capacitance and resistance of the compensation  
components, arranged as shown inFigure 32. 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 tradeoff  
between bandwidth and phase margin. In general, phase margin is lowest and gain highest (worst-case) for  
maximum input voltage and minimum 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  
4. Change IO to maximum and recheck overall bandwidth and phase margin  
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 110,000 is used.  
The error amplifier of the LM2744 has a unity-gain bandwidth of 9MHz. In order to model the effect of this  
limitation, the open-loop gain can be calculated as:  
2p x 9 MHz  
OPG =  
s
(27)  
The new error amplifier transfer function that takes into account unity-gain bandwidth is:  
GEA x OPG  
HEA  
=

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 suggestions 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 = 27pF ±10%, CC2 = 820pF ±10%  
CC3 = 2.7nF ±10%, RC1 = 39.2k±1%  
RC2 = 2.55k±1%  
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:

amplifier. The result is:  
GEA-ACTUAL x OPG  
HEA  
=
1 + GEA-ACTUAL+ OPG  
(37)  
The total control loop transfer function H is equal to the power stage transfer function multiplied by the error  
amplifier transfer function.  
H = GPS x HEA

The bandwidth of this example circuit is 59kHz, with a phase margin of 60°.  
EFFICIENCY CALCULATIONS  
The following is a sample calculation.  
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:  
POUT  
x 100%  
h =  
POUT + PTOTAL  
(39)  
The Output Power (POUT) for the Typical Application Circuit design is (1.2V * 4A) = 4.8W. The Total Power  
(PTOTAL), with an efficiency calculation to complement the design, is shown below.  
The majority of the power losses are due to low and high-side of MOSFET’s losses. The losses in any MOSFET  
are group of switching (PSW) and conduction losses(PCND).  
PFET = PSW + PCND = 61.38mW + 270.42mW  
PFET = 331.8mW  
(40)  
(41)  
FET Switching Loss (PSW  
)
PSW = PSW(ON) + PSW(OFF)  
(42)  
(43)  
(44)  
(45)  
PSW = 0.5 * VIN * IOUT * (tr + tf)* FOSC  
PSW = 0.5 x 3.3V x 4A x 300kHz x 31ns  
PSW = 61.38mW  
The FDS6898A has a typical turn-on rise time tr and turn-off fall time tf of 15ns and 16ns, respectively. The  
switching losses for this type of dual N-Channel MOSFETs are 0.061W.  
FET Conduction Loss (PCND  
)
PCND = PCND1 + PCND2  
PCND1 = I2OUT x RDS(ON) x k x D  
PCND2 = I2OUT x RDS(ON) x k x (1-D)  
(46)  
(47)  
(48)  
RDS(ON) = 13mand the factor is a constant value (k = 1.3) to account for the increasing RDS(ON) of a FET due to  
heating.  
PCND1 = (4A)2 x 13mx 1.3 x 0.364  
PCND2 = (4A)2 x 13mx 1.3 x (1 - 0.364)  
PCND = 98.42mW + 172mW = 270.42mW  
(49)  
(50)  
(51)  
There are few additional losses that are taken into account:  
IC Operating Loss (PIC)  
PIC = IQ_VCC x VCC  
,
(52)  
(53)  
where IQ-VCC is the typical operating VCC current  
PIC= 1.5mA *3.3V = 4.95mW  
FET Gate Charging Loss (PGATE  
)
PGATE = n * VCC * QGS * FOSC  
(54)  
(55)  
(56)  
PGATE = 2 x 3.3V x 3nC x 300kHz  
PGATE = 5.94mW  
The value n is the total number of FETs used and QGS is the typical gate-source charge value, which is 3nC. For  
the FDS6898A the gate charging loss is 5.94mW.

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:  
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.  
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.  
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.  
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.  
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.  
(2) RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance  
do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may  
reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".  
RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.  
Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of <=1000ppm threshold. Antimony trioxide based  
flame retardants must also meet the <=1000ppm threshold requirement.  
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.  
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.  
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation  
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.  
(6) Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish  
value exceeds the maximum column width.

IMPORTANT NOTICE  
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) reserves the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other changes to its  
semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest issue. Buyers  
should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete.  
TI’s published terms of sale for semiconductor products (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/stdterms.htm) apply to the sale of packaged integrated  
circuit products that TI has qualified and released to market. Additional terms may apply to the use or sale of other types of TI products and  
services.  
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is  
accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such reproduced  
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statements  
different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the  
associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.  
Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers  
remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have  
full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products  
used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with  
respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous  
consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and  
take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will  
thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.  
TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,  
including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to  
assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any  
way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource  
solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.  
TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI  
products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,  
enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically  
described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.  
Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that  
include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE  
TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY  
RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or  
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information  
regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or  
endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the  
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.  
TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR  
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO  
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF  
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL  
PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,  
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF  
PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,  
DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN  
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN  
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  
Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949  
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.  
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such  
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards  
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must  
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in  
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.  
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life  
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all  
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.  
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).  
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications  
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory  
requirements in connection with such selection.  
Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-  
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
