10.2.2.8 Output Voltage Accuracy

To determine the output voltage DC accuracy, the following sources of error are considered:

  • VREF within the Electrical Characteristics table is the predominant source of error. This encompasses the error due to the reference voltage and error amplifier offset. The across temperature minimum of 0.594V, maximum of 0.604V, and typical of 0.6V results in an accuracy of –1.00% and +0.67%. If this error is instead centered around an average reference voltage of 0.599V, the accuracy is calculated as ±0.83%.
  • The VREF specification in not measured in a switching, closed-loop configuration. Figure 7-31 can be used to see the effects of output current (load regulation) and switching. It is seen that across the complete 6A load, there is only a small deviation of approximately 800µV. This corresponds to +0.13% error.
  • The external error due to the resistor tolerance of the RFB_TOP and RFB_BOT resistors need to be added. Since it is assumed the error is uncorrelated, it is decided to add the errors as a sum of squares. For the selected 0.1% tolerance RFB_TOP and RFB_BOT resistors, the total error is R(error) = sqrt(0.1%2 + 0.1%2 ) = ±0.14%.

Equation 20 is used to calculate the system error for output voltage accuracy.

Equation 20. System(error) = VREF(error) + RFB(error) + VLOAD(error)

The negative system error calculation is System(error) = –1.00% – 0.14% = –1.14% and the positive system error is System(error) = 0.67% + 0.14% + 0.13% = 0.94%. Therefore, the total system error is calculated to be –1.14%./+0.94. If the total system error is centered, this comes to ±1.04%. These each meet the 1.5% target.

Lifetime drift data could similarly be added. Group C data may be used to aid in this calculation. For this example, it is assumed the lifetime drift is minimal compared to the other sources of error and it is therefore not added.
