The power section of MCF8315/MCF8316 needs the
following passive components for proper operation as shown in Figure 3-1.
- VM: Bulk capacitor (≥10µF, 2x VM) to
reduce the input voltage ripple depending on the PWM switching frequency, peak
phase currents etc., Additionally a 100nf, 2x VM capacitor can be added as an
option to filter the high frequency noise on VM, if needed
- Charge pump: MCF8315/MCF8316 uses an
integrated charge pump to generate the gate drive for high-side FETs. The charge
pumps needs two caps – one rated at (47nF, 2x VM) between CPH and CPL pins and
one rated (at 1µF, ≥16V) between CP and VM
- Buck: Buck converter can be operated in
inductor mode (higher efficiency and cost) or resistor mode (lower efficiency
and cost). In TIDA-010951, the buck converter is designed to operate in inductor
mode and can deliver up to 170mA for external loads. The inductor is rated at
47µH, 1.5A saturation current and the capacitor is rated at 22µF, 10V. Refer to
MCF8315 data sheet for more information on resistor mode.
- AVDD: This 3.3V LDO needs a decoupling cap
rated at 1µF, 10V and can deliver up to 20mA for external loads. The minimum
capacitance at AVDD is more than 600nF across operating conditions for rated
3.3V regulation.
- DVDD: This 1.5V LDO needs a decoupling cap
rated at 1µF, 10V. The minimum capacitance at DVDD is more than 600nF across
operating conditions for rated 1.5V regulation.
