R1270S001A033-0300EV 3 A, 34 V Input PWM/VFM Step Down DC/DC Converter with PLL Synchronization Evaluation Board No. EEV-299-0330300-191111 R1270S001A033-0300EV is the evaluation board for R1270 which has the below features, benefits and specifications. OUTLINE The R1270S is CMOS-based Step-down DC/DC converter with internal N-channel high side Tr. The ON resistance of the built-in high-side transistor is 0.10 and the R1270S can provide the maximum 3 A output current. Each of the ICs consists of an oscillator, a PWM control circuit, a voltage reference unit, an error amplifier, a phase compensation circuit, a slope compensation circuit, a soft-start circuit, protection circuits, an internal voltage regulator, and aswitch for bootstrap circui t.The ICs can make up a tsep-down DC/DC converter with adding an inductor, resistors, a diode, and capacitors externally. The R1270S is current mode operating type DC/DC converters without an external current sense resistor, and realizes fast response and high efficiency. As an output capacitor, a ceramic type capacitor is usable. The internal oscillator frequency is adjustable over a range of 300 kHz to 2400 kHz by an external resistor, and also can be synchronized externally by PLL. The phase compensation is adjustable by using external resistor and capacitor. Thereby optimizations for the inductor and the capacitor can be done. To improve performance under light load conditions, t he R1270S can select automatically between two modes: the VFM mode when the inductor current is discontinuous and the PWM mode when the inductor current is continuous. The ripple voltage at VFM mode is 40 mV (Typ.). As for protection, the R1270S has a current limit function to control an inductor peak current every a cycle, a fold-back function to reduce the oscillator frequency under the short circuit, a thermal shutdown function, an under voltage lockout (UVLO) function, and an over voltage lockout (OVLO) function. Furthermore, the R1270S can include a latch protection function to cut off the output when the output current reaches the set current limit for a certain time. That is, the R1270S supports two types of the presence (R1270S001A) or the absence (R1270S001B) of the latch protection function. The current limit, which is fixed at 4.5 A (Typ.), is adjustable by an external resistor. And, the soft start time is fixed at 0.4 ms (Typ.) internally, but is adjustable by an external resistor. The R1270S has the FLG pin to monitor the overvoltage of the FB pin voltage and the 6 V rated pin. When detecting an abnormal voltage, the R1270S outputs a flag. The R1270S is available in HSOP-18 package. 1 R1270S No. EEV-299-0330300-191111 FEATURES Operating Voltage (Maximum Rating) 3.6 V to 34 V (36 V) Consumption Current Typ. 18 A (VIN = 12 V) Stand-by Current Typ. 0 A (VIN = 34 V, CE = 0 V) Output Voltage Externally-adjustable at 0.8 V or more (Max. step down ratio 160 ns fosc) Feedback Voltage and Tolerance 0.8 V1.0% (1) Output Current 3 A Operating Frequency 300 kHz to 2.4 MHz settable by External resistor Minimum Off Time Typ. 120 ns Maximum Duty Min. 93% (fosc = 300 kHz), Min. 67% (fosc = 2400 kHz) UVLO Function Detection Voltage Typ. 2.6 V OVLO Function Detection Voltage Min. 38 V Soft-start Time Internal soft-start time ( Typ. 0.4 ms), as a lower limit , Externally-adjustable by using capacitor High-side Switch Current Limit Typ. 4.5 A, as a upper limit, Externally-adjustable by using resistor Thermal Shutdown Function Typ. 160C CE Threshold Voltage Typ. 1.0 V Latch Protection Delay Time Typ. 2 ms (R1270S001A) Fold-back Protection Fold-back for Oscillation frequency VFB Voltage Temperature Tolerance (VFB/Ta) Typ. 100 ppm/C (40C Ta 105C) Package HSOP-18 For more details on R1270 IC, please refer to
