The A4447 is a 2 A, high efficiency general-purpose buck
regulator designed for a wide variety of applications. The output
voltage is adjustable from 0.8 to 24 V, based on a resistor divider
and the 0.8 V ± 2 % reference. External components include
an external clamping diode, inductor, and filter capacitor.
The off-time is determined by an external resistor to ground.
It operates in both continuous and discontinuous modes to
maintain light load regulation. An internal blanking circuit is
used to filter out transients due to the reverse recovery of the
external clamp diode. Typical blanking time is 200 ns.
This new device is ideal for various end products including
applications with 8 to 50 V input voltage range and require up
to 2 A output current, such as uninterruptible power supplies,
point of sale (POS) applications, and industrial applications
with 24 or 36 V bus.
Applications include:
▪ Printer power supplies
▪ Office automation equipment
▪ POS thermal, laser, photo, and inkjet printers
▪ Tape drives
▪ Industrial applications

A4447
High Voltage Step Down Regulator
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The A4447 is a fixed off-time, current mode controlled, buck
regulator. The regulator requires an external clamping diode,
inductor, and filter capacitor. It operates in both continuous and
discontinuous modes. An internal blanking circuit is used to filter
out transients resulting from the reverse recovery of the external
clamp diode. Typical blanking time is 200 ns.
The value of a resistor between the TSET and GND determines
the fixed off-time (see graph in the t
OFF
section).
of the following fault conditions:
• V
IN
< 6 V
• ENB pin = open circuit
• TSD fault
When the device comes out of a TSD fault, it will go into a soft
start to limit inrush current.

Light Load Regulation.
To maintain voltage regulation during
light load conditions, the switching regulator enters a cycle-skip-
ping mode. As the output current decreases, there remains some
energy that is stored during the power switch minimum on-time.
In order to prevent the output voltage from rising, the regulator
skips cycles once it reaches the minimum on-time, effectively
making the off-time larger.
Soft Start. An internal ramp generator and counter allow the out-
put to slowly ramp up. This limits the maximum demand on the
external power supply by controlling the inrush current required
to charge the external capacitor and any DC load at startup.
Internally, the ramp is set to 10 ms nominal rise time. During soft
start, current limit is 2.2 A minimum.
The following conditions are required to trigger a soft start:
• V
IN
> 6 V
• ENB pin input falling edge
• Reset of a TSD (thermal shut down) event
V
BIAS
. To improve overall system efficiency, the regulator output,
V
OUT
, is connected to the VBIAS input to supply the operating
bias current during normal operating conditions. During startup
the circuitry is run off of the VIN supply. VBIAS should be con-
nected to VOUT when the V
OUT
target level is between 3.3 and
5 V. If the output voltage is less than 3.3 V, then the A4447 can
operate with an internal supply and pay a penalty in efficiency,
as the bias current will come from the high voltage supply, VIN.
VBIAS can also be supplied with an external voltage source. No
power-up sequencing is required for normal operation.
ON/OFF Control.
The ENB pin is externally pulled to ground
to enable the device and begin the soft start sequence. When the
ENB is open circuited, the switcher is disabled and the output
decays to 0 V.
Protection.
The buck switch will be disabled under one or more
where R
TSET
(kΩ) is the value of the resistor. If the VBIAS pin is
left open, use V
BIAS
= 0 in equation 2. Results are shown in the
following graph:

The R
TSET
resistor should be not smaller than 7.65 kΩ ±2% to
prevent very short off-times from violating the minimum on-time
of the switcher.
Shorted Load. If the voltage on the FB pin falls below 0.4 V, the
regulator will invoke a 0.85 A typical overcurrent limit to handle
the shorted load condition at the regulator output. For low output
voltages at power up and in the case of a shorted output, the off-
time is extended to prevent loss of control of the current limit due
to the minimum on-time of the switcher.
The extension of the off-time is based on the value of the TSET
multiplier and the FB voltage, as shown in the following table:
