PRODUCTION DATA.
The LM73605 and LM73606 synchronous switched mode voltage regulator employs fixed frequency peak current mode control with advanced features. The fixed switching frequency is controlled by an internal clock. To get accurate DC load regulation, a voltage feedback loop is implemented to generate peak current command. The HS switch is turned on at the rising edge of the clock. As shown in Figure 12, during the HS switch on-time, tON, the SW pin voltage, VSW, swings up to approximately VIN, and the inductor current, IL, increases with a linear slope. The HS switch is turned off when the inductor current reaches the peak current command. During the HS switch off-time, tOFF, the LS switch is turned on. Inductor current discharges through the LS switch, which forces the VSW to swing below ground by the voltage drop across the LS switch. The LS switch is turned off at the next clock cycle, before the HS switch is turned on. The regulation loop adjusts the peak current command to maintain a constant output voltage.
Duty cycle D is defined by the on-time of the HS switch over the switching period:
where
In an ideal buck converter where losses are ignored, D is proportional to the output voltage and inverse proportional to the input voltage: D = VOUT ⁄ VIN.
When the LM73605 and LM73606are set to operate in auto mode, the LS switch is turned off when its current reaches zero ampere before the next clock cycle comes. Both HS switch and LS switch are off before the HS switch is turned on at the next clock cycle.
