External transistor is recommended in applications where
wide input voltage ranges and higher power is required. The
suitable schematic with an additional NMOS transistor and
its driving circuit is shown in the Figure 25. The driving
circuit is controlled from SWE Pin of the NCP3063 through
frequency compensated resistor divider R7/R8. The driver
IC2 is ON Semiconductor low cost dual NPN/PNP
transistor BC846BPD. Its NPN transistor is connected as a
super diode for charging the gate capacitance. The PNP
transistor works as an emitter follower for discharging the
gate capacitor. This configuration assures sharp driving
edge between 50 100 ns as well as it limits power
consumption of R7/R8 divider down to 50 mW. The output
current limit is balanced by resistor R3. The fast switching
with low R
DS(on)
NMOS transistor will achieve efficiencies
up to 85% in automotive applications.

Figure 27 shows typical buck configuration with external
PMOS transistor. The principle of driving the Q2 gate is the
same as shown in Figure 27.
Resistor R6 connected between TC and SWE pin provides
a pulsed feedback voltage. It is recommended to use this
pulsed feedback approach on applications with a wide input
voltage range, applications with the input voltage over
+12 V or applications with tighter specifications on output
ripple. The suitable value of resistor R6 is between
10k 68k. The pulse feedback approach increases the
operating frequency by about 20%. It also creates more
regular switching waveforms with constant operating
frequency which results in lower output ripple voltage and
improved efficiency.
The pulse feedback resistor value has to be selected so that
the capacitor charge and discharge currents as listed in the
electrical characteristic table, are not exceeded. Improper
selection will lead to errors in the oscillator operation. The
maximum voltage at the TC Pin cannot exceed 1.4 V when
implementing pulse feedback.

Typical application of the buck converter with external
bipolar transistor is shown in the Figure 29. It is an ideal
solution for configurations where the input and output
voltage difference is small and high efficiency is required.

ON Semiconductor will be ideal for applications with 1 A
output current, the input voltages up to 15 V and operating
frequency 100 150 kHz. The switching speed could be
improved by using desaturation diode D2.
