Since the switch duty cycle can be as high as 100%,
the maximum output voltage can be set as high as the
input voltage minus the voltage drop on upper PMOS
and inductor.
Protection Features
The AOZ1014 has multiple protection features to
prevent system circuit damage under abnormal
conditions.
Over Current Protection (OCP)
The sensed inductor current signal is also used for over
current protection. Since the AOZ1014 employs peak
current mode control, the COMP pin voltage is
proportional to the peak inductor current. The COMP
pin voltage is limited to be between 0.4V and 2.5V
internally. The peak inductor current is automatically
limited cycle by cycle.
The cycle by cycle current limit threshold is set between
6A and 8A. When the load current reaches the current
limit threshold, the cycle by cycle current limit circuit
turns off the high side switch immediately to terminate
the current duty cycle. The inductor current stop rising.
The cycle by cycle current limit protection directly limits
inductor peak current. The average inductor current is
also limited due to the limitation on peak inductor
current. When cycle by cycle current limit circuit is
triggered, the output voltage drops as the duty cycle
decreasing.
The AOZ1014 has internal short circuit protection to
protect itself from catastrophic failure under output
short circuit conditions. The FB pin voltage is
proportional to the output voltage. Whenever FB pin
voltage is below 0.2V, the short circuit protection circuit
is triggered. As a result, the converter is shut down and
hiccups at a frequency equals to 1/8 of normal
switching frequency. The converter will start up via a
soft start once the short circuit condition disappears. In
short circuit protection mode, the inductor average
current is greatly reduced because of the low hiccup
frequency.
Power-On Reset (POR)
A power-on reset circuit monitors the input voltage.
When the input voltage exceeds 4V, the converter starts
operation. When input voltage falls below 3.7V, the
converter will be shut down.
Thermal Protection
An internal temperature sensor monitors the junction
temperature. It shuts down the internal control circuit
and high side PMOS if the junction temperature
exceeds 145ºC. The regulator will restart automatically
under the control of soft-start circuit when the junction
temperature decreases to 100ºC.
Application Information
The basic AOZ1014 application circuit is shown in
Figure 1. Component selection is explained below.
Input capacitor
The input capacitor must be connected to the VIN pin
and PGND pin of the AOZ1014 to maintain steady input
voltage and filter out the pulsing input current. The
voltage rating of input capacitor must be greater than
maximum input voltage plus ripple voltage.
The input ripple voltage can be approximated by
equation below:
∆VIN

IO
× CIN
× (1 − VO ) × VO
VIN VIN
Since the input current is discontinuous in a buck
converter, the current stress on the input capacitor is
another concern when selecting the capacitor. For a
buck circuit, the RMS value of input capacitor current
can be calculated by:
I CIN _ RMS = IO ×
VO (1 − VO )

VO = m
VIN
The relation between the input capacitor RMS current
and voltage conversion ratio is calculated and shown in
Fig. 2 below. It can be seen that when VO is half of VIN,
CIN is under the worst current stress. The worst current
stress on CIN is 0.5·IO.

Figure 2. ICIN vs. voltage conversion ratio
For reliable operation and best performance, the input
capacitors must have current rating higher than ICIN-RMS at
worst operating conditions. Ceramic capacitors are
preferred for input capacitors because of their low ESR
