[0020] The following is combined with Figure 1-7 The utility model is described in further detail.
[0021] It should be noted that the drawings are schematic and not drawn to scale. For clarity and convenience, the relative sizes and proportions of parts shown in the drawings may be exaggerated or reduced in size. Any dimensions are illustrative only and are not intended to be limiting. Identical structures, elements, or components appearing in two or more drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals to indicate similar features.
[0022] The present invention discloses a non-isolated DC / DC power supply module. Figure 1-7 , a non-isolated DC / DC power module that can deliver 5A of continuous output current from an input voltage range of 4.5V to 36V at an ambient temperature of -55°C to +125°C. The module provides a default output voltage of 3.3V and can be adjusted to 1.0-12.0V using an external voltage divider resistor;
[0023] The module integrates a controller, power switch tube, inductor, appropriate input and output capacitors and all supporting components in an LGA-18 (12mmx12mmx4.2mm) package.
[0024] Including frequency setting pin RFREQ, power normal output indication pin PGOOD, feedback pin FB, output voltage pin VOUT, module ground GND, input voltage pin VIN;
[0025] The input voltage pin VIN is connected to power the converter. The input voltage pin VIN is connected to the input power supply. An external bypass capacitor is connected between the input voltage pin VIN and the module ground GND. An external bypass capacitor is connected between the input voltage pin VIN and the output voltage pin VOUT. The output voltage pin VOUT is connected to the power inductor and output capacitor inside the module. The output voltage pin VOUT is also connected to the output load. The module ground GND is connected to the frequency setting pin RFREQ, which cannot be left floating. All the module ground GNDs are connected together to form the module ground plane. The output voltage pin VOUT is connected to the normal output indication pin PGOOD within the module. The output voltage pin VOUT is connected to the feedback pin FB, and a resistor RFB is connected between the two connections. Two resistors are connected between the output voltage pin VOUT and the feedback pin FB. When the output voltage is less than 3.3V, an external resistor RFB1 is connected between the output voltage pin VOUT and the feedback pin FB. When the output voltage is greater than 3.3V, another resistor RFB2 is connected between the output voltage pin VOUT and the feedback pin FB.
[0026] The enable pin EN is connected to the VIN pin through the module pull-up resistor and is used to turn the module on or off. The module is enabled by driving the enable pin EN to a high level, and vice versa, the module is turned off by driving it to a low level.
[0027] The module includes over-current protection (OCP) and short-circuit protection (SCP), under-voltage protection (UVP), input under-voltage lockout (UVLO) protection, and over-temperature shutdown protection;
[0028] Overcurrent protection (OCP) and short-circuit protection (SCP): The module has an internal current limit. Once the internal inductor current exceeds the current limit, the switch will stop working and the overcurrent protection (OCP) timer will start. The overcurrent protection (OCP) time is 100μs. If the current limit is reached in each cycle within this 100μs limit, the short-circuit protection (SCP) will be triggered.
[0029] Undervoltage protection (UVP): The module detects output undervoltage conditions by monitoring the VFB pin. If VFB drops below 50% of VREF, the undervoltage protection (UVP) is triggered, and the current limit protection triggers the short circuit protection (SCP).
[0030] (Refer to Figure 7 The module has an input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) protection function to achieve stable output power. Its turn-on threshold is 4.0V and its hysteresis is 900mV. When the supply voltage exceeds the undervoltage lockout protection (UVLO) turn-on threshold, the module starts. When the supply voltage is lower than the undervoltage lockout protection (UVLO) turn-off threshold voltage, the module shuts down. An external resistor can be used between the enable pin EN and the module ground GND to achieve a higher equivalent undervoltage lockout protection (UVLO) threshold;
[0031] Use an external resistor between the enable pin EN and the module ground GND with the value of:
[0032]
[0033] The resistance value is calculated, and different resistances can be calculated according to actual conditions to achieve the calculation of resistance values for different situations in which the module is applicable;
[0034] Overtemperature shutdown protection: The module implements overtemperature protection by monitoring the internal IC junction temperature. This feature disables the module if the temperature is too high. If the junction temperature exceeds a threshold (175°C), the entire chip shuts down. This protection is non-latching and has approximately 45°C of thermal hysteresis. Once the junction temperature drops to approximately 130°C, the module resumes operation through soft-start.
[0035] The module is tested under the condition of V IN =24V,C OUT=22μFT J =-55℃ to +125℃, the results are as follows:

[0040]
[0041] Specifically, the module's effective application provides a stable output voltage and features multiple protection features, including overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection, undervoltage protection, input undervoltage lockout protection, and overtemperature shutdown protection. Furthermore, the EN pin allows for remote enable control, the PGOOD pin provides a power-good output indication, and the FB pin allows for flexible adjustment of the output voltage.
