FEEDFORWARD

Feed-Forward (F.F.) is an important feature, because it

can keep the converter stable and preserve its load

transient performance when Vin varies in a large range.

In IR3898, F.F. function is enabled when Vin pin is

connected to PVin pin. In this case, the internal low

dropout (LDO) regulator is used. The PWM ramp

amplitude (Vramp) is proportionally changed with Vin to

maintain Vin/Vramp almost constant throughout Vin

variation range (as shown in Fig. 10). Thus, the control

loop bandwidth and phase margin can be maintained

constant. Feed-forward function can also minimize

impact on output voltage from fast Vin change. The

maximum Vin slew rate is within 1V/µs.

If an external bias voltage is used as Vcc, Vin pin should

be connected to Vcc/LDO_Out pin instead of PVin pin.

Then the F.F. function is disabled. A re-calculation of

control loop parameters is needed for re-compensation.

SMART LOW DROPOUT REGULATOR (LDO)

IR3898 has an integrated low dropout (LDO) regulator

which can provide gate drive voltage for both drivers.

In order to improve overall efficiency over the entire

load range, LDO voltage is set to 6.4V (typ.) at mid- or

heavy load condition to reduce Rds(on) and thus

MOSFET conduction loss; and it is reduced to 4.4 (typ.)

at light load condition to reduce gate drive loss.

The smart LDO can select its output voltage according to

the load condition by sensing switch node (SW) voltage.

At light load condition when part of the inductor current

flows in the reverse direction (DCM=1), VSW > 0 on LDrv

falling edge in a switching cycle. If this case happens for

consecutive 256 switching cycles, the smart LDO

reduces its output to 4.4. If in any one of the 256 cycles,

Vsw < 0 on LDrv falling edge, the counter is reset and

LDO voltage doesn’t change. On the other hand, if Vsw <

0 on LDrv falling edge (DCM=0), LDO output is increased to

6.4V. A hysteresis band is added to Vsw comparison to avoid

chattering. Figure 11a shows the timing diagram. Whenever

device turns on, LDO always starts with 6.4V, then goes to

4.4V/6.4V depending upon the load condition. For internally

biased single rail operation, Vin pin should be connected to

PVin pin, as shown in Figure 11b. If external bias voltage is

used, Vin pin should be connected to Vcc/LDO_Out pin, as

shown in Figure 11c.

When the Vin voltage is below 6.8V, the internal LDO enters

the dropout mode at medium and heavy load. The dropout

voltage increases with the switching frequency. Figure 11d
