APPLICATION NOTE AN42 3 RC5040 and RC5042 Description Simple Step-Down Con ver ter Figure 1. Simple Buck DC-DC Converter Figure 1 illustrates a step-down DC-DC con verter with no feedback control. The basic step-do wn conv erter serves as the basis for deriving the design equations for the RC5040 and RC5042.
AN42 APPLICATION NOTE 4 High Current Output Drivers The RC5040 contains two identical high current output driv ers that use high speed bipolar transistors in a push-pull confi guration. Each driv er is capable of delivering 1A of cur - rent in less than 100ns.
APPLICATION NOTE AN42 5 Over-V oltage Protection The RC5040 and RC5042 constantly monitor the output voltage for protection against o ver voltage. If the v oltage at the VFB pin exceeds 20% of the selected program voltage, an ov er-v oltage condition is assumed, and the controller dis- ables the output driv e signal to the external MOSFET(s).

APPLICATION NOTE AN42 7 MOSFET Selection This application requires the use of N-channel, Logic Lev el Enhancement Mode Field Effect Transistors. The desired characteristics of these components are: • Low Static Drain-Source On-Resistance R DS,ON < 37 m Ω (lo wer is better) • Low g ate driv e voltage, V GS ≤ 4.
AN42 APPLICATION NOTE 8 MOSFET Gate Bias The MOSFET(s) can be biased using one of two methods: Charge Pump or 12V Gate Bias. Charge Pump (or Bootstrap) Figure 6 employs a char ge pump to provide the MOSFET gate bias. The char ge pump capacitor, CP , is used as a flying capacitor to boost the voltage of the RC5040 or RC5042 out- put driv er .
APPLICATION NOTE AN42 9 Con ver ter Efficiency Losses due to parasitic resistance in the switches, inductor , and sense resistor dominate at high load-current lev els.
AN42 APPLICATION NOTE 10 Selecting the Inductor Selecting the right inductor component is critical in the DC-DC con verter application. The inductor’ s critical param- eters to consider are inductance (L), maximum DC current (I O ), and coil resistance (R l ).
APPLICATION NOTE AN42 11 where: • V IN = Input V oltage to the Con verter • V SW = V oltage Across the MOSFET = I LOAD x R DS,ON • V D = Forw ard V oltage of the Schottky Diode • T = The Switching Period of the Con verter = 1/f S , Where f S = Switching Frequency .

R sense for v arious load currents Discrete Sense Resistor Discrete iron alloy resistors come in a v ariety of tolerances and power ratings, and are ideal for precision implementa- tions. Either an MnCu alloy wire resistor or an CuNi alloy wire resistor is ideal for a low cost implementation.
