Ultrasonic Power-Save Operation
The SiC417 provides ultra-sonic power-save operation at
light loads, with the minimum operating frequency fixed at
25 kHz. This is accomplished using an internal timer that
monitors the time between consecutive high-side gate
pulses.
If the time exceeds 40 祍, DL drives high to turn the low-side
MOSFET on. This draws current from V
OUT
 through the
inductor, forcing both V
OUT
 and V
FB
 to fall. When V
FB
 drops
to the 500 mV threshold, the next DH on-time is triggered.
After the on-time is completed the high-side MOSFET is
turned off and the low-side MOSFET turns on, the low-side
MOSFET remains on until the inductor current ramps down
to zero, at which point the low-side MOSFET is turned off.
Because the on-times are forced to occur at intervals no
greater than 40 祍, the frequency will not fall below ~ 25 kHz.
Figure 5 shows ultra-sonic power-save operation.
Benefits of Ultrasonic Power-Save
Having a fixed minimum frequency in power-save has some
significant advantages as below:
" The minimum frequency of 25 kHz is outside the audible
range of human ear. This makes the operation of the
SiC417 very quiet.
" The output voltage ripple seen in power-save mode is
significant lower than conventional power-save, which
improves efficiency at light loads.
" Lower ripple in power-save also makes the power
component selection easier.
Figure 6 shows the behavior under power-save and
continuous conduction mode at light loads.
Smart Power-Save Protection
Active loads may leak current from a higher voltage into the
switcher output. Under light load conditions with power-
savepower-save enabled, this can force V
OUT
 to slowly rise
and reach the over-voltage threshold, resulting in a hard
shutdown. Smart power-save prevents this condition.
When the FB voltage exceeds 10 % above nominal (exceeds
550 mV), the device immediately disables power-save, and
DL drives high to turn on the low-side MOSFET. This draws
current from V
OUT
 through the inductor and causes V
OUT
 to
fall. When V
FB
 drops back to the 500 mV trip point, a normal
t
ON
 switching cycle begins.
This method prevents a hard OVP shutdown and also cycles
energy from V
OUT
 back to V
IN
. It also minimizes operating
power by avoiding forced conduction mode operation.
Figure 7 shows typical waveforms for the smart power-save
feature.
