OPERATING FREQUENCY

The switching frequency can be programmed between

250kHz – 1500kHz by connecting an external resistor from

RT pin to Gnd. Table 1 tabulates the oscillator frequency

versus RT.

SHUTDOWN

The iP1827 can be shutdown by pulling the Enable pin

below its 1 V threshold. This will tri‐state both, the high

side driver as well as the low side driver.

TEMPERATURE‐COMPENSATED

OVER‐CURRENT PROTECTION

The over current protection is performed by sensing

current through the RDS(on) of low side MOSFET. This

method enhances the converter’s efficiency and reduces

cost by eliminating a current sense resistor. As shown in

Figure 11, an external resistor (ROCSet) is connected

between OCSet pin and the switch node (SW) which sets

the current limit set point.

An internal current source sources current (IOCSet ) out of

the OCSet pin. The internal current source develops a

voltage across ROCSet. When the low side MOSFET is

turned on, the inductor current flows through Q2 and

results in a voltage at OCSet which is given by:

An over current is detected if the OCSet pin goes below

ground. Hence, at the current limit threshold, VOCset=0.

Then, for a current limit setting ILtrip, ROCSet is calculated as

follows:

Figure 11: Connection of over‐current sensing resistor

It should be noted that the iP1827 uses a temperature

compensated overcurrent protection scheme, i.e., IOCSet

varies with temperature with the same temperature

coeffecient as RDS(on), so that ILtrip depends only on Rocset

and is independent of temperature.

The value of Rocset calculated above is realized as a

parallel combination of an internal 2.7K resistor and an

external resistor connected between the Rocset and SW

pins. Table 2 shows the selection of the external Rocset

resistor for various values of the trip load current Iotrip at

Vcc = 3.3V.
