+1.6V Switching Regulator
The +1.6V DSP core supply is sub-regulated from the +3.3V supply with
another switching regulator, U910. This device is also a current mode
controller and operates in a similar fashion to U900. It differs in that the
output MOSFETs and current sense resistor are contained internally for
reduced PCB area. Its higher operating frequency of 1.5MHz allows the use
of a much smaller smoothing inductor, L910. An output filter, E910 and
C949, and bulk capacitor C973, are provided, as for the +3.3V and +1.8V
outputs.

Auxiliary Supply
An auxiliary supply is used to power some of the switching regulator internal
circuitry, as well as providing the input to the +6V regulator (see
“+6V
Regulator” on page 84
). Some of the operating current for the U900 is
derived from the auxiliary supply, through its EXTVcc supply pin.
With no voltage, or a low voltage, on EXTVcc, the power requirements for
the internal circuitry of U900 are derived from the main +28V supply using
an internal 7.5V(nominal) linear regulator. This normally occurs during the
initial power supply startup phase. When the voltage on EXTVcc exceeds
approximately 7.3V, an internal power switch disconnects the linear
regulator from the internal supply rail, INTVcc, and the U900 internal
circuitry draws its current directly from the auxiliary supply. Since the
internal linear regulator no longer wastes power dropping the +28V input
down to 7.5V, the overall power supply efficiency is increased, providing that
the auxiliary supply is generated by a suitably efficient method.
The auxiliary supply is derived from the main +3V3 switcher using a charge
pump voltage tripler circuit, comprising Q902, Q903, C921, C922, C930
and D909-D911. The operation of this circuit can be explained by
considering the voltage waveforms across the series combination of the
filtering inductor L901 and sense resistor R908. When the switching
regulator has reached a steady state, the voltage at the junction of R908 and
C918 will be approximately constant at +3.3V, whereas the junction of L901
and D905 will be switched between 0V and 28V by the action of chopper
transistors Q901a and Q901b.
With Q901b conducting, capacitor C922 will charge from the +3.3V
output via diodes D909a and D910b. Capacitor C921 will charge in a similar
fashion through diodes D909b and D910a. When Q901a turns on (and
Q901b turns off), the junction of L901 and D905 will be pulled up to +28V,
reverse biasing D910a and D910b. Zener diode D908 will also be reverse
biased; when it breaks down, MOSFETs Q903 and Q902 will turn on.
Diodes D909a and D909b are also reverse biased during this process.
Note
In this circuit, n-channel MOSFETs Q902 and Q903 are operated
in the reverse conduction mode, ie. positive current flow is from
source to drain. The MOSFETs are operated in this mode
because, in normal connection, the inherent substrate diode
