PFM STEP-DOWN DC-DC
CONTROLLER
DESCRIPTION
The UTC
M7085
step-down DC-DC Controller is optimized for
use with a power PMOSFET. It utilize a Pulse-Frequency
Modulation (PFM) control scheme that implies high efficiency
operation at light loads.
There are two user-selectable over-current protection methods
one provides over-current protection by taking advantage of the
R
DS(ON)
of the P- Channel. The other provides accurate over-current
protection with the use of an external sense resistor. The
cycle-by-cycle current limit threshold can be adjusted with a
external resistor.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
CMOS IC
Setting the output voltage
Select an output voltage between 1.24V and V
IN
by connecting FB to a resistive voltage-divider between V
OUT
and GND (see the Typical Operating Circuit). Choose R2 for a reasonable bias current in the resistive divider. A wide
range of resistor values is acceptable.
R1, R2 is given by:
V
OUT
= 1.240* (R1 + R2) / R2
Setting over current protection threshold by the R
DS(ON)
of the P-Channel
The UTC
M7085
has a cycle-by-cycle current limit. Current limit is sensed across the V
DS
of the P-Channel or
across an additional sense resistor. When current limit is activated, the UTC
M7085
turns off the external P-Channel
for a period of 9μs(typical). The current limit is adjusted by an external resistor, R
ADJ
.
The current limit circuit is composed of the I
SENSE
comparator and the one-shot pulse generator. The positive input
of the I
SENSE
comparator is the ADJ pin. An internal 5.5µA current sink creates a voltage across the external R
ADJ
resistor. This voltage is compared to the voltage across the P-Channel or sense resistor. The ADJ voltage can be
calculated as follows:
V
ADJ
= V
IN
- (R
ADJ
* 3.0μA)
Where 3.0μA is the minimum I
CL(ADJ)
value.
The negative input of the I
SENSE
comparator is the I
SENSE
pin that should be connected to the drain of the external
P-Channel. The inductor current is determined by sensing the V
DS
. It can be calculated as follows.

Fig. 1 Current Sensing by V
DS
The current limit is activated when the voltage at the ADJ pin exceeds the voltage at the I
SENSE
pin. The I
SENSE
comparator triggers the 9μs one shot pulse generator forcing the driver to turn the P-Channel off. The driver turns
the P-Channel back on after 9μs. If the current has not reduced below the set threshold, the cycle will repeat
continuously.
A filter capacitor, C
ADJ
, should be placed as shown in Fig. 1 C
ADJ
filters unwanted noise so that the I
SENSE
comparator will not be accidentally triggered. A value of 100pF to 1nF is recommended in most applications. Higher
values can be used to create a soft-start function. The current limit comparator has approximately 100ns of blanking
time. This ensures that the P-Channel is fully on when the current is sensed. However, under extreme conditions
such as cold temperature, some P-Channels may not fully turn on within the blanking time. In this case, the current
limit threshold must be increased. If the current limit function is used, the on time must be greater than 100ns. Under
low duty cycle operation, the maximum operating frequency will be limited by this minimum on time.
