7.3.6 Regulator Feedback Select

The LM45811 regulator features two feedback paths as shown in the Functional Block Diagram, which allow the regulator to easily switch between two different output voltages. The voltage divider consists of the high side resistor, R3, and the low side resistors (RLS), R1 and R2. R3 is connected to the output of the boost regulator, the mid-point of each divider is connected to FB, and the low side resistors are connected to either FB_GND1 or FB_GND0. FB_SEL determines which FB_GND switch is closed, which in turn determines which feedback path is used. For example if FB_SEL = VDD, the FB_GND1 switch is closed, while the FB_GND0 switch remains open, creating a current path through the resistors connected to FB_GND1. Conversely, if FB_SEL = GND, the FB_GND0 switch is closed, while the FB_GND1 switch remains open, creating a current path through the resistors connected to FB_GND0.

FB_SEL can be susceptible to noise interference. To prevent an accidental state change, either bypass FB_SEL with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND, or connect the higher voltage feedback network to FB_GND0, and the lower voltage feedback network to FB_GND1. Because the higher output voltage configuration typically generates more noise on VDD, this configuration minimizes the VDD noise exposure of FB_SEL, as FB_SEL = GND for FB_GND0 (high voltage output) and FB_SEL = VDD for FB_GND1 (low voltage output).

The selectable feedback networks maximize efficiency in two ways. In applications where the system power supply voltage changes, such as a mobile GPS receiver, that transitions from battery power, to AC line, to a car power adapter, the LM48511 can be configured to generate a lower voltage when the system power supply voltages is lower, and conversely, generate a higher voltage when the system power supply is higher. See the Setting the Regulator Output Voltage (PV1) section.

In applications where the same speaker/amplifier combination is used for different purposes with different audio power requirements, such as a cell phone ear piece/speaker phone speaker, the ability to quickly switch between two different voltages allows for optimization of the amplifier power supply, increasing overall system efficiency. When audio power demands are low (ear piece mode) the regulator output voltage can be set lower, reducing quiescent current consumption. When audio power demands increase (speaker phone mode), a higher voltage increases the amplifier headroom, increasing the audio power delivered to the speaker.
