BD99010EFV-M, BD99011EFV-M
Operation
The BD99010EFV-M and BD99011EFV-M are a synchronous rectifying step-down switching regulator with fast transient
response by the current mode PWM control system. These operate as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) mode for heavy
load, and it operates as SLLM (Simple Light Load Mode) operation for the light load to improve efficiency. When FPWM is
enabled, the SLLM is disabled and these devices operate only the current mode PWM control.
(1) Synchronous rectifier
The application does not require an external Schottky diode as commonly used in conventional DC/DC converter IC’s. The
low-side power transistor provides two advantages: it reduces the switching losses by careful on-chip timing to prevent
shoot-through and improves the leakage current (resulting in large quiescent current) at high operating temperatures.
(2) Current mode PWM control
Synthesizes an additional PWM control signal, representing the inductor current next to the conventional PWM control signal,
representing the output voltage of the converter. The current feedback loop is essential to achieve regulation loop stability
under all load conditions at so-called continuous condition Buck conversion.
(a) PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control
The PWM circuit operates as follows: At the start of every switch cycle the oscillator sets the flip-flop that controls the
power transistors. This flip-flop is reset again when the slope signal (representing the inductor current) is exceeding the
COMP signal (representing the difference between output voltage and internal reference).
(b) SLLM (Simple Light Load Mode) control
For small output currents, this device automatically switches to SLLM. In SLLM, the device operates in PWM control by
comparing the output voltage with an internal reference voltage. When the output voltages drops below the reference
voltage the output makes several switching pulses in order to raise the output voltage above reference level again. Next,
switching pulses are skipped because the SW output is off. Depending on the output load, the controller now waits at very
low current consumption until the output voltage is lower than the reference voltage to resume switching. When the time in
between the switching pulse skip becomes short the device exits the SLLM mode and resumes normal continuous
switching again. The load level of the switching pulse skip is changed by the input voltage and inductor value.
