FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Internal Regulator The MT2482 is a current mode step down DC/DC converter that provides excellent transient response with no extra external compensation components. This device contains an internal, low resistance, high voltage power MOSFET, and operates at a high 600K/1.2MHz operating frequency to ensure a compact, high efficiency design with excellent AC and DC performance.
Error Amplifier The error amplifier compares the FB pin voltage with the internal FB reference (VFB) and outputs a current proportional to the difference between the two. This output current is then used to charge or discharge the internal compensation network to form the COMP voltage, which is used to control the power MOSFET current. The optimized internal
compensation network minimizes the external
component counts and simplifies the control loop design.
Internal Soft-Start The soft-start is implemented to prevent the converter output voltage from overshooting during startup. When the chip starts, the internal circuitry generates a soft-start voltage (SS) ramping up from 0V to 0.925V. When it is lower than the internal reference (REF), SS overrides REF so the error amplifier uses SS as the reference. When SS is higher than REF, REF regains control. The SS time is internally fixed to 1.5 ms.

MT2482 Over-Current-Protection and Hiccup
Startup and Shutdown
The MT2482 has cycle-by-cycle over current limit
when the inductor current peak value exceeds the set current limit threshold. Meanwhile, output voltage starts to drop until FB is below the Under-Voltage (UV) threshold, typically 30% below the reference. Once a UV is triggered, the MT2482 enters hiccup mode to periodically restart the part. This protection mode is especially useful when the output is dead-short to ground. The average short circuit current is greatly reduced to alleviate the thermal issue and to protect the regulator. The MT2482 exits the hiccup mode once the over current condition is removed.
If both VIN and EN are higher than their appropriate
thresholds, the chip starts. The reference block starts first, generating stable reference voltage and currents, and then the internal regulator is enabled. The regulator provides stable supply for the remaining circuitries. Three events can shut down the chip: EN low, VIN low and thermal shutdown. In the shutdown procedure, the signaling path is first blocked to avoid any fault triggering. The COMP voltage and the internal supply rail are then pulled down. The floating driver is not subject to this shutdown command.

MT2482 APPLICATION INFORMATION Setting the Output Voltage
Selecting the Output Capacitor
The external resistor divider is used to set the output
voltage (see Typical Application on page 1). The feedback resistor R1 also sets the feedback loop bandwidth with the internal compensation capacitor. Choose R1 to be around 49.9k for optimal transient response. R2 is then given by:
The output capacitor (C2) is required to maintain the
DC output voltage. Ceramic, tantalum, or low ESR electrolytic capacitors are recommended. Low ESR capacitors are preferred to keep the output voltage ripple low. The output voltage ripple can be estimated by:
R2 =
R1 Vout / VFB 1
Selecting the Inductor
A 3.3H to 10H inductor with a DC current rating of at least 25% percent higher than the maximum load current is recommended for most applications. For highest efficiency, the inductor DC resistance should be less than 15m. For most designs, the inductance value can be derived from the following equation.
L=
Vout (Vin Vout )
Vin I L fOSC
Where IL is the inductor ripple current. Choose
inductor ripple current to be approximately 30% if the maximum load current, 2A. The maximum inductor peak current is:
I L ( MAX )
I L = I LOAD + 2
VOUT =
VOUT VOUT 1 1 RESR +
f S L VIN 8 f S C2
Where L is the inductor value and RESR is the
equivalent series resistance (ESR) value of the output capacitor. In the case of ceramic capacitors, the impedance at the switching frequency is dominated by the capacitance. The output voltage ripple is mainly caused by the capacitance. For simplification, the output voltage ripple can be estimated by: VOUT =
VOUT VOUT
2 8 f S L C2 VIN
In the case of tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, the
ESR dominates the impedance at the switching frequency. For simplification, the output ripple can be approximated to:
VOUT =
VOUT VOUT 1 RESR f S L VIN
The characteristics of the output capacitor also affect
the stability of the regulation system. The MT2482 can be optimized for a wide range of capacitance and ESR values.
Under light load conditions below 100mA, larger
inductance is recommended for improved efficiency. Aerosemi Technology Co., Ltd
MT2482 PCB Layout Guide PCB layout is very important to achieve stable operation. It is highly recommended to duplicate EVB layout for optimum performance. If change is necessary, please follow these guidelines and take Figure 4 for reference. 1) Keep the path of switching current short and minimize the loop area formed by Input capacitor, high-side MOSFET and low-side MOSFET. 2) Bypass ceramic capacitors are suggested to be put close to the Vin Pin.
3) Ensure all feedback connections are short and
direct. Place the feedback resistors and compensation components as close to the chip as possible. 4) VOUT, SW away from sensitive analog areas such as FB. 5) Connect IN, SW, and especially GND respectively to a large copper area to cool the chip to improve thermal performance and long-term reliability. 6) An example of 2-layer PCB layout is shown in Figure 4 for reference.
