Transient Absorbers Disconnect FET Wide Vin DC-DC

Pro:• Does not interrupt dc/dc power during

OV transients

Pro:• Not dissipative OV protection. Can

survive for longer duration OV conditions.

Pro:• Automatic OV protection up to 65V/75V• Operation not interrupted in OV condition• No extra design work required.

Cons:• Selection can be complicated;

Dependent on energy (Volt/time)• Dissipates energy (bigger size)• Longer duration OV (e.g. ISO 7637

Pulse 5b) conditions not taken care of in reasonable size/cost

Cons:• Needs multiple components including a

disconnect FET. • Creates voltage drop (power dissipation)

in normal operation. • PMOS tends to be bigger. NMOS needs

charge pump. • Interrupts power flow during OV

Cons:• May exhibit slightly lower efficiency when

operating from lower input voltages such as 3.3V and 5V

Challenge #1: Designing a Reliable & Low Cost System Bias Supply

System Bias

Supply

Digital Isolator

• The system bias rail(s) must be derived from the system backplane, which is typically 24V but can experience transients of 40V or higher

• Isolation is often required for noise immunity or safety• The use of opto-isolators is often avoided due to reliability

Industrial Automation Equipment

System Need: Application Challenges:• Most systems require a low current bias

supply for the micro-controller and/or FPGA to initiate system start-up correctly each time

• The Fly-buck converter is evolved from a synchronous buck converter by adding coupled windings to the inductor to have flyback-like isolated outputs.

• The isolated outputs can be multiple by adding more secondary windings to the transformer

• A simple and low part count solution for multi-output/isolated power supply design

Challenge #2: Designing a Boost Supply with Overload Protection

Traditional boost solutions: • Require fuse and/or hotswap

controllers to protect against inrush or over-current faults

• Fuses require system service after a fault

• Interaction between ICs must be considered

Hot swap controller

Boost controller Load

Optionalfuse

SUPPLY

Boost controller w/ disconnect switch Load

Boost with Disconnect Switch:• Limits inrush current during start-up and

overloads• Eliminates the need for hot swap

controllers• Disconnects the load during catastrophic

faults• Avoids unnecessary fuse replacements• Reduces system cost & footprint

System Need: Application Challenges:

SUPPLY

• Ability to power motors without reducing system reliability

• Boost converters inherently have no overload or short-circuit protection (current can flow from input to output

SenseResistor

• If the voltage across the sense resistor exceeds the circuit breaker threshold (~160mV), the internal comparator and FET will quickly turn off the external disconnect FET

• When the sense resistor voltage drops below circuit breaker disable threshold (~10mV), the disconnect FET is turned on again

Challenge #3: Achieving High Power Density and Low EMI

System Need: Application Challenges:• High density power circuits

that free up valuable PCB real estate for critical system functions

• Discrete power ICs require multiple external components and can be complex to design & debug

• Integrated DC/DC converter modules can be difficult to manufacture (hidden connections are difficult to inspect)

• Power circuits (in general) generate EMI that can degrade performance of sensitive system signals

LGA Power Modules• Can be difficult to

manufacture (hard to inspect all connections)

Discrete DC/DC Converter• More complex design/layout

Many systems have minimal PCB area left for the power circuits

• ~15M vehicles will have ISS by 2015

Market Need: Application Challenges:• A start-stop event could push the battery

voltage as low as 3V (similar to a warm crank condition)

If we used a DC/DC converter as the power supply, the ripple at higher frequencies could degrade system performance as they would not be properly filtered by the DAC alone.

For example, the PSRR on the DAC9881 is low at higher frequencies. That means that it has a limited ability to filter out any high frequency input ripple and prevent it from affecting bits.

Know What to Look For in a Linear Regulator

PSRR (in dB) denotes the LDO’s ability to reject noise from the input power supply. The higher the absolute value, the better the LDO can attenuate ripple from the input source, prohibiting it from affecting the output rail.

Output noise voltage (µVRMS) represents the noise generated from the LDO itself. The lower this value, the less impact the LDO will have on the integrity of the desired output rail.

Creating a low noise supply from >30V input

Filtering out power supply noise (ripple)

Preventing any noise from disrupting the signal

Best Used When…

• Low current needed• Don’t like switchers• Need small size/cost

• High current needed• Need high efficiency• Need low ripple

• Low to medium current• Radio signals involved

Key Specs to review

Output noise should not be too high

• Need high PSRR (at the switching frequency)

• Look for lowest output noise• Also want high PSRR over a

wide bandwidth

Don’t forget Every volt dropped through the regulator means efficiency loss

Try to minimize dropout to keep heat down

By virtue of high PSRR and low output noise density, TPS7A49 & TPS730 are able to filter out switching noise and provide clean positive and negative rails

Filtering Switching Power Supply Noise (Ripple)• For high current needs, the power dissipation of a linear regulator may

be too high• Combining a switching converter with a high PSRR linear regulator can

achieve an excellent balance of high efficiency and low noise

Wide Vin Linear Regulator Selection GuideLook for Wide Vin parts when the input can experience transients

Pick parts with high PSRR when you need to filter out switching noise

Look for parts with low output noise when dealing with very sensitive RF signals that require a low noise floor
