THEORY OF OPERATION
General Overview
The SP7653 is a fixed frequency, voltage mode,
synchronousPWMregulatoroptimizedforhigh
efficiency. The part has been designed to be
especially attractive for high input voltages of
2.5V to 20V.
The SP7653 contains two unique control fea-
tures that are very powerful in distributed appli-
cations. First, asynchronous driver control is
enabled during startup, to prohibit the low side
switch from pulling down the output until the
high side switch has attempted to turn on. Sec-
ond, a 100% duty cycle timeout ensures that the
low side switch is periodically enhanced during
extended periods at 100% duty cycle. This guar-
antees the synchronized refreshing of the Boost
capacitor during very large duty cycle ratios.
The heart of the SP7653 is a wide bandwidth
transconductance amplifier designed to accom-
modate Type II and Type III compensation
schemes. Aprecision0.8Vreference, presenton
the positive terminal of the error amplifier,
permits the programming of the output voltage
down to 0.8V via the VFB pin. The output of the
error amplifier, COMP, compared to a 1.1V
peak-to-peak ramp is responsible for trailing
edge PWM control. This voltage ramp, and
PWM control logic are governed by the internal
oscillator that accurately sets the PWM fre-
quency to 1.3MHz.
The SP7653 also contains a number of valuable
protection features. Programmable VIN UVLO
allowstheusertosettheexactvalueatwhichthe
conversion voltage can safely begin down con-
version, and an internal VCC UVLO which en-
sures that the controller itself has enough volt-
age to operate properly. Other protection fea-
