OPERATION
(Refer to Functional Diagram)
Main Control Loop
The IC uses a constant frequency, current mode step-down
architecture with the two controller channels operating
180 degrees out of phase. During normal operation, each
top MOSFET is turned on when the clock for that channel
sets the RS latch, and turned off when the main current
comparator, I1, resets the RS latch. The peak inductor
current at which I1 resets the RS latch is controlled by the
voltage on the I
TH
pin, which is the output of each error
amplifi er EA. The V
OSENSE
pin receives the voltage feedback
signal, which is compared to the internal reference voltage
by the EA. When the load current increases, it causes a
slight decrease in V
OSENSE
relative to the 0.8V reference,
which in turn causes the I
TH
voltage to increase until the
average inductor current matches the new load current.
After the top MOSFET has turned off, the bottom MOSFET
is turned on until either the inductor current starts to
reverse, as indicated by current comparator I2, or the
beginning of the next cycle.
The top MOSFET drivers are biased from fl oating bootstrap
capacitor C
B
, which normally is recharged during each off
cycle through an external diode when the top MOSFET
