(R) ISL6530 Data Sheet November 15, 2004 FN9052.2 Dual 5V Synchronous Buck Pulse-Width Modulator (PWM) Controller for DDRAM Memory VDDQ and VTT Termination The ISL6530 provides complete control and protection for dual DC-DC converters optimized for high-performance DDRAM memory applications. It is designed to drive low cost N-channel MOSFETs in synchronous-rectified buck topology to efficiently generate 2.5V VDDQ for powering DDRAM memory, VREF for DDRAM differential signalling, and VTT for signal termination. The ISL6530 integrates all of the control, output adjustment, monitoring and protection functions into a single package. The VDDQ output of the converter is maintained at 2.5V through an integrated precision voltage reference. The VREF output is precisely regulated to 1/2 the memory power supply, with a maximum tolerance of 1% over temperature and line voltage variations. VTT accurately tracks VREF. During V2_SD sleep mode, the VTT output is maintained by a low power window regulator. The ISL6530 provides simple, single feedback loop, voltagemode control with fast transient response. It includes two phase-locked 300kHz triangle-wave oscillators which are displaced 90o to minimize interference between the two PWM regulators. The regulators feature error amplifiers with a 15MHz gain-bandwidth product and 6V/s slew rate which enables high converter bandwidth for fast transient performance. The resulting PWM duty ratio ranges from 0% to 100%. The ISL6530 protects against over-current conditions by inhibiting PWM operation. The ISL6530 monitors the current in the VDDQ regulator by using the rDS(ON) of the upper MOSFET which eliminates the need for a current sensing resistor.

A single capacitor bootstrap circuit may be used to create a BOOT voltage suitable to drive a standard NChannel MOSFET. (rDS(ON)) set the VDDQ converter over-current (OC) trip point according to the following equation: I OCS * R OCSET I PEAK = ------------------------------------------r DS ( ON ) An overcurrent trip cycles the soft-start function. Pulling the OCSET/SD pin to ground resets the ISL6530 and all external MOSFETS are turned off allowing the two output voltage power rails to float. UGATE1 and UGATE2 Connect UGATE1 and UGATE2 to the corresponding upper MOSFET gate. These pins provide the gate drive for the upper MOSFETs. UGATE2 is also monitored by the adaptive shoot through protection to determine when the upper FET of the VTT regulator has turned off. PGOOD A high level on this open-drain output indicates that both the VDDQ and VTT regulators are within normal operating voltage ranges. LGATE1 and LGATE2 Connect LGATE1 and LGATE2 to the corresponding lower MOSFET gate. These pins provide the gate drive for the lower MOSFETs. These pins are monitored by the adaptive shoot through protection to determine when the lower FET has turned off. GNDA Signal ground for the IC. Tie this pin to the ground plane through the lowest impedence connection available. VCC The 5V bias supply for the chip is connected to this pin. This pin is also the positive supply for the lower gate driver, LGATE2. Connect a well decoupled 5V supply to this pin. PGND1 and PGND2 These are the power ground connections for the gate drivers of the PWM controllers. Tie these pins to the ground plane through the lowest impedence connection available. V2_SD A high level on the V2_SD input places the V2 controller into "sleep" mode. In sleep mode, both UGATE2 and LGATE2 are driven low, effectively floating the VTT supply. OCSET/SD A resistor (ROCSET) connected from this pin to the drain of the upper MOSFET of the VDDQ regulator sets the overcurrent trip point. ROCSET, an internal 40A current source (IOCS), and the upper MOSFET on-resistance 6 ISL6530 While the VTT supply "floats", it is held to about 50% of VDDQ via a low current window regulator which drives VTT via the SENSE2 pin. The window regulator can overcome up to at least 10mA of leakage on VTT. While V2_SD is high, PGOOD is low. 300kHz clocks. The clocks are phase locked and displaced 90o to minimize noise coupling between the controllers. The first regulator includes a precision 0.8V reference and is intended to provide the proper VDDQ to a DDRAM memory system. The VDDQ controller implements overcurrent protection utilizing the rDS(ON) of the upper MOSFET. Following a fault condition, the VDDQ regulator is softstarted via a digital softstart circuit. Included in the ISL6530 is a precision VREF reference output. VREF is a buffered representation of .5xVDDQ. VREF is derived via a precision internal resistor divider connected to the SENSE1 terminal. The second PWM regulator is designed to provide VTT termination for the DDRAM signal lines. The reference to the VTT regulator is VREF. Thus the VTT regulator provides a termination voltage equal to .5xVDDQ. The drain of the upper MOSFET of the VTT supply is connected to the regulated VDDQ voltage. The VTT controller is designed to enable both sinking and sourcing current on the VTT rail. Two benefits result from the ISL6530 dual controller topology. First, as VREF is always .5xVDDQ, the VTT supply will track the VDDQ supply during softstart cycles. Second, the overcurrent protection incorporated into the VDDQ supply will simultaneously protect the VTT supply. PHASE1 and PHASE2 Connect PHASE1 and PHASE2 to the corresponding upper MOSFET source. This pin is used as part of the upper MOSFET bootstrapped drives. PHASE1 is used to monitor the voltage drop across the upper MOSFET of the VDDQ regulator for over-current protection. The PHASE1 pin is monitored by the adaptive shoot through protection circuitry to determine when the upper FET of the VDDQ supply has turned off. FB1, COMP1, FB2, and COMP2 COMP1, COMP2, FB1, and FB2 are the available external pins of the error amplifiers. The FB1 and FB2 pins are the inverting inputs of each error amplifier and the COMP1 and COMP2 pins are the associated outputs. An appropriate AC network across these pins is used to compensate the voltage-controlled feedback loop of each converter. VREF and VREF_IN VREF produces a voltage equal to one half of the voltage on SENSE1. This low current output is connected to the VREF input of the DDRAM devices being powered. This same voltage is used as the reference input of the VTT error amplifier. Thus VTT is controlled to 50% of VDDQ. VREF_IN is used as an option to overdrive the internal resistor divider network that sets the voltage for both VREF_OUT and the reference voltage for the VTT supply. A 100pF capacitor between VREF_IN and ground is recommended for proper operation. Initialization The ISL6530 automatically initializes upon application of input power. Special sequencing of the input supplies is not necessary. The Power-On Reset (POR) function continually monitors the input bias supply voltage at the VCC pin. The POR function initiates soft-start operation after the 5V bias supply voltage exceeds its POR threshold. Soft-Start The POR function initiates the digital soft start sequence. The PWM error amplifier reference input for the VDDQ regulator is clamped to a level proportional to the soft-start voltage. As the soft-start voltage slews up, the PWM comparator generates PHASE pulses of increasing width that charge the output capacitor(s). This method provides a rapid and controlled output voltage rise. The soft start sequence typically takes about 7ms. -With the VTT regulator reference held at 1 V DDQ it will 2 automatically track the ramp of the VDDQ softstart, thus enabling a soft-start for VTT. PVCC1 This is the positive supply for the lower gate driver, LGATE1. PVCC1 is connected to a well decoupled 5V. SENSE1 and SENSE2 Both SENSE1 and SENSE2 are connected directly to the regulated outputs of the VDDQ and VTT supplies, respectively. SENSE1 is used as an input to create the voltage at VREF_OUT and the reference voltage for the VTT supply. SENSE2 is used as the regulation point for the window regulator that is enabled in V2_SD mode. Functional Description Overview The ISL6530 contains control and drive circuitry for two synchronous buck PWM voltage regulators. Both regulators utilize 5V bootstrapped output topology to allow use of low cost N-channel MOSFETs. The regulators are driven by Figure 2 shows the soft-start sequence for a typical application. At t0, the +5V VCC bias voltage starts to ramp. Once the voltage on VCC crosses the POR threshold at time t1, both outputs begin their soft-start sequence. The triangle waveforms from the PWM oscillators are compared to the rising error amplifier output voltage. As the error amplifier voltage increases, the pulse-widths on the UGATE pins increase to reach their steady-state duty cycle at time t2. 7 FN9052.2 November 15, 2004 ISL6530 When the V2_SD input of the ISL6530 is driven high, the VTT regulator is placed into a "sleep" state. In the sleep state the main VTT regulator is disabled, with both the upper and lower MOSFETs being turned off. The VTT bus is maintained at close to .5xVdd via a low current window regulator which drives VTT via the SENSE2 pin. Maintaining VTT at .5xVDDQ consumes negligible power and enables rapid wake-up from sleep mode without the need of softstarting the VTT regulator. During this power down mode, PGOOD is held LOW. VCC (5V) (1V/DIV) VDDQ (2.5V) VTT (1.25V) 0V T0 T1 T2 TIME Output Voltage Selection The output voltage of the VDDQ regulator can be programmed to any level between VIN (i.e. +5V) and the internal reference, 0.8V. An external resistor divider is used to scale the output voltage relative to the reference voltage and feed it back to the inverting input of the error amplifier, see Figure 3. However, since the value of R1 affects the values of the rest of the compensation components, it is advisable to keep its value less than 5k. R4 can be calculated based on the following equation: R1 x 0.8V R4 = ------------------------------------V OUT1 - 0.8V FIGURE 2. SOFT-START INTERVAL Shoot-Through Protection A shoot-through condition occurs when both the upper MOSFET and lower MOSFET are turned on simultaneously, effectively shorting the input voltage to ground. To protect the regulators from a shoot-through condition, the ISL6530 incorporates specialized circuitry which insures that complementary MOSFETs are not ON simultaneously. The adaptive shoot-through protection utilized by the VDDQ regulator looks at the lower gate drive pin, LGATE1, and the phase node, PHASE1, to determine whether a MOSFET is ON or OFF. If PHASE1 is below 0.8V, the upper gate is defined as being OFF. Similarly, if LGATE1 is below 0.8V, the lower MOSFET is defined as being OFF. This method of shoot-through protection allows the VDDQ regulator to source current only. Due to the necessity of sinking current, the VTT regulator employs a modified protection scheme from that of the VDDQ regulator. If the voltage from UGATE2 or from LGATE2 to GND is less than 0.8V, then the respective MOSFET is defined as being OFF and the other MOSFET is turned ON. Since the voltage of the lower MOSFET gates and the upper MOSFET gate of the VTT supply are being measured to determine the state of the MOSFET, the designer is encouraged to consider the repercussions of introducing external components between the gate drivers and their respective MOSFET gates before actually implementing such measures. Doing so may interfere with the shootthrough protection. If the output voltage desired is 0.8V, simply route VOUT1 back to the FB pin through R1, but do not populate R4. +5V VCC D1 BOOT1 C4 UGATE1 ISL6530 PHASE1 LGATE1 Q1 LOUT VDDQ Q2 + COUT1 FB1 COMP1 C1 R1 C3 C2 R3 R2 R4 FIGURE 3. OUTPUT VOLTAGE SELECTION OF VDDQ Power Down Mode DDRAM systems include a sleep state in which the VDDQ voltage to the memories is maintained, but signaling is suspended. During this mode the VTT termination voltage is no longer needed. The only load placed on the VTT bus is the leakage of the associated signal pins of the DDRAM and memory controller ICs. VTT Reference Overdrive The ISL6530 allows the designer to bypass the internal 50% tracking of VDDQ that is used as the reference for VTT. The ISL6530 was designed to divide down the VDDQ voltage by 50% through two internal matched resistances. These resistances are typically 200k. 8 FN9052.2 November 15, 2004 ISL6530 One method that may be employed to bypass the internal VTT reference generation is to supply an external reference directly to the VREF_IN pin. When doing this the SENSE1 pin must remain unconnected. Caution must be exercised when using this method as the VTT regulator does not employ a soft-start of its own. A second method would be to overdrive the internal resistors. Figure 4 shows how to implement this method. The external resistors used to overdrive the internal resistors should be less than 2k and have a tolerance of 1% or better. This method still supplies a buffer between the resistor network and any loading on the VREF pin. If there is no loading on the VREF pin, then no buffering is necessary and the reference voltage created by the resistor network can be tied directly to VREF. VDDQ SENSE1 VREF_IN RA VREF + ISL6530 programs the overcurrent trip level (see Figure 1). An internal 40A (typical) current sink develops a voltage across ROCSET that is referenced to VIN. When the voltage across the upper MOSFET of VDDQ (also referenced to VIN) exceeds the voltage across ROCSET , the overcurrent function initiates a soft-start sequence. Figure 5 illustrates the protection feature responding to an over current event on VDDQ. At time T0, an over current condition is sensed across the upper MOSFET of the VDDQ regulator. As a result, both regulators are quickly shutdown and the internal soft-start function begins producing softstart ramps. The delay interval seen by the output is equivalent to three soft-start cycles. The fourth internal softstart cycle initiates a normal soft-start ramp of the output, at time T1. Both outputs are brought back into regulation by time t2, as long as the overcurrent event has cleared. Had the cause of the overcurrent still been present after the delay interval, the overcurrent condition would be sensed and both regulators would be shut down again for another delay interval of three soft-start cycles. The resulting hiccup mode style of protection would continue to repeat indefinitely. RB VDDQ (2.5V) TO ERROR AMPLIFIER VTT (1.25V) FIGURE 4. VTT REFERENCE OVERDRIVE Converter Shutdown Pulling and holding the OCSET/SD pin below 0.8V will shutdown both regulators. During this state, PGOOD will be held LOW. Upon release of the OCSET/SD pin, the IC enters into a soft start cycle which brings both outputs back into regulation. 0V INTERNAL SOFT-START FUNCTION Voltage Monitoring The ISL6530 offers a PGOOD signal that will communicate whether the regulation of both VDDQ and VTT are within 15% of regulation, the V2_SD pin is held low and the bias voltage of the IC is above the POR level. If all the criteria above are true, the PGOOD pin will be at a high impedence level. When one or more of the criteria listed above are false, the PGOOD pin will be held low. DELAY INTERVAL T0 TIME T1 T2 FIGURE 5. OVERCURRENT PROTECTION RESPONSE Overcurrent Protection The overcurrent function protects the converter from a shorted output by using the upper MOSFET on-resistance, rDS(ON), of VDDQ to monitor the current. This method enhances the converter's efficiency and reduces cost by eliminating a current sensing resistor. The over-current function cycles the soft-start function in a hiccup mode to provide fault protection. A resistor (ROCSET) 9 The overcurrent function will trip at a peak inductor current (IPEAK) determined by: I OCSET x R OCSET I PEAK = ---------------------------------------------------r DS ( ON ) where IOCSET is the internal OCSET current source (40A typical). The OC trip point varies mainly due to the MOSFET FN9052.2 November 15, 2004 ISL6530 rDS(ON) variations. To avoid over-current tripping in the normal operating load range, find the ROCSET resistor from the equation above with: 1. The maximum rDS(ON) at the highest junction temperature. 2. The minimum IOCSET from the specification table. ( I ) I PEAK > I OUT ( MAX ) + --------- , 3.

A small ceramic capacitor should be placed in parallel with ROCSET to smooth the voltage across ROCSET in the presence of switching noise on the input voltage.

VTT CURRENT SINKING LOOP Current Sinking The ISL6530 VTT regulator incorporates a MOSFET shootthrough protection method which allows the converter to sink current as well as source current. Care should be exercised when designing a converter with the ISL6530 when it is known that the converter may sink current. When the converter is sinking current, it is behaving as a boost converter that is regulating its input voltage. This means that the converter is boosting current into the input rail of the regulator. If there is nowhere for this current to go, such as to other distributed loads on the rail or through a voltage limiting protection device, the capacitance on this rail will absorb the current. This situation will allow the voltage level of the input rail to increase. If the voltage level of the rail is boosted to a level that exceeds the maximum voltage rating of any components attached to the input rail, then those components may experience an irreversible failure or experience stress that may shorten their lifespan. Ensuring that there is a path for the current to flow other than the capacitance on the rail will prevent this failure mode. To insure that the current does not boost up the input rail voltage of the VTT regulator, it is recommended that the input rail of the VTT regulator be the output of the VDDQ regulator. The current being sunk by the VTT regulator will be fed into the VDDQ rail and then drawn into the DDR SDRAM memory module and back into the VTT regulator. Figure 6 shows the recommended configuration and the resulting current loop. Application Guidelines Layout Considerations Layout is very important in high frequency switching converter design. With power devices switching efficiently at 300kHz, the resulting current transitions from one device to another cause voltage spikes across the interconnecting impedances and parasitic circuit elements. These voltage spikes can degrade efficiency, radiate noise into the circuit, and lead to device overvoltage stress. Careful component layout and printed circuit board design minimizes the voltage spikes in the converters. As an example, consider the turn-off transition of the PWM MOSFET. Prior to turn-off, the MOSFET is carrying the full load current. During turn-off, current stops flowing in the MOSFET and is picked up by the lower MOSFET. Any parasitic inductance in the switched current path generates a large voltage spike during the switching interval. Careful component selection, tight layout of the critical components, and short, wide traces minimizes the magnitude of voltage spikes. There are two sets of critical components in a DC-DC converter using the ISL6530. The switching components are the most critical because they switch large amounts of energy, and therefore tend to generate large amounts of noise. Next are the small signal components which connect to sensitive nodes or supply critical bypass current and signal coupling. A multi-layer printed circuit board is recommended. Figure 7 shows the connections of the critical components in the converter. Note that capacitors CIN and COUT could each represent numerous physical capacitors. Dedicate one solid layer, usually a middle layer of the PC board, for a ground plane and make all critical component ground connections with vias to this layer. Dedicate another solid layer as a power plane and break this plane into smaller islands of common voltage levels. Keep the metal runs from the PHASE terminals to the output inductor short. The power plane should support the input power and output power 10 FN9052.2 November 15, 2004 ISL6530 nodes. Use copper filled polygons on the top and bottom circuit layers for the phase nodes. Use the remaining printed circuit layers for small signal wiring. The wiring traces from the GATE pins to the MOSFET gates should be kept short and wide enough to easily handle the 1A of drive current. +5V VIN ISL6530 VCC CBP GND BOOT1 CBOOT1 Q1 UGATE1 PHASE1 PHASE1 Q2 LGATE1 PGND1 COMP1 C2A R2A FB1 R4 SENSE1 +5V VIN D2 BOOT2 CBOOT2 Q3 UGATE2 PHASE2 PHASE2 Q4 LGATE2 PGND2 COMP1 C2B R2B FB1 C1B R1B C3B R3B COUT2 LOAD LOUT2 VTT VDDQ C1A R1A C3A R3A LOAD COUT1 LOUT1 VDDQ D1 CIN The switching components should be placed close to the ISL6530 first. Minimize the length of the connections between the input capacitors, CIN, and the power switches by placing them nearby. Position both the ceramic and bulk input capacitors as close to the upper MOSFET drain as possible. Position the output inductor and output capacitors between the upper MOSFET and lower diode and the load. The critical small signal components include any bypass capacitors, feedback components, and compensation components. Position the bypass capacitor, CBP, close to the VCC pin with a via directly to the ground plane. Place the PWM converter compensation components close to the FB and COMP pins. The feedback resistors for both regulators should also be located as close as possible to the relevant FB pin with vias tied straight to the ground plane as required. Feedback Compensation Figure 8 highlights the voltage-mode control loop for a synchronous-rectified buck converter. The output voltage (VOUT) is regulated to the Reference voltage level. The error amplifier (Error Amp) output (VE/A) is compared with the oscillator (OSC) triangular wave to provide a pulsewidth modulated (PWM) wave with an amplitude of VIN at the PHASE node. The PWM wave is smoothed by the output filter (LO and CO). The modulator transfer function is the small-signal transfer function of VOUT/VE/A . This function is dominated by a DC Gain and the output filter (LO and CO), with a double pole break frequency at FLC and a zero at FESR . The DC Gain of the modulator is simply the input voltage (VIN) divided by the peak-to-peak oscillator voltage VOSC Modulator Break Frequency Equations 1 F LC = ----------------------------------------2 x L O x C O 1 F ESR = -----------------------------------------2 x ESR x C O SENSE2 KEY ISLAND ON POWER PLANE LAYER ISLAND ON CIRCUIT PLANE LAYER VIA CONNECTION TO GROUND PLANE The compensation network consists of the error amplifier (internal to the ISL6530) and the impedance networks ZIN and ZFB. The goal of the compensation network is to provide a closed loop transfer function with the highest 0dB crossing frequency (f0dB) and adequate phase margin. Phase margin is the difference between the closed loop phase at f0dB and 180 degrees. The equations below relate the compensation network's poles, zeros and gain to the components (R1 , R2 , R3 , C1 , C2 , and C3) in Figure 7. Use these guidelines for locating the poles and zeros of the compensation network: 1. Pick gain (R2/R1) for desired converter bandwidth. 2. Place first zero below filter's double pole (~75% FLC). 3. Place second zero at filter's double pole. 4. Place first pole at the ESR zero. 5. Place second pole at half the switching frequency. 6. Check gain against error amplifier's open-loop gain. 7. Estimate phase margin - repeat if necessary. FIGURE 7. PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD POWER PLANES AND ISLANDS 11 FN9052.2 November 15, 2004 ISL6530 .

ASYMPTOTIC BODE PLOT OF CONVERTER GAIN COMP + ISL6530 REFERENCE FB Component Selection Guidelines Output Capacitor Selection An output capacitor is required to filter the output and supply the load transient current. The filtering requirements are a function of the switching frequency and the ripple current. The load transient requirements are a function of the slew rate (di/dt) and the magnitude of the transient load current. These requirements are generally met with a mix of capacitors and careful layout. Modern digital ICs can produce high transient load slew rates. High-frequency capacitors initially supply the transient and slow the current load rate seen by the bulk capacitors. The bulk filter capacitor values are generally determined by the ESR (effective series resistance) and voltage rating requirements rather than actual capacitance requirements. High frequency decoupling capacitors should be placed as close to the power pins of the load as physically possible. Be careful not to add inductance in the circuit board wiring that could cancel the usefulness of these low inductance components. Consult with the manufacturer of the load on specific decoupling requirements. Use only specialized low-ESR capacitors intended for switching-regulator applications for the bulk capacitors. The bulk capacitor's ESR will determine the output ripple voltage and the initial voltage drop after a high slew-rate transient. An aluminum electrolytic capacitor's ESR value is related to the case size with lower ESR available in larger case sizes. However, the equivalent series inductance (ESL) of these capacitors increases with case size and can reduce the usefulness of the capacitor to high slew-rate transient loading. Unfortunately, ESL is not a specified parameter. Work with your capacitor supplier and measure the capacitor's impedance with frequency to select a suitable component. In most cases, multiple electrolytic capacitors of small case size perform better than a single large case capacitor. FIGURE 8.

The actual modulator gain has a high gain peak due to the high Q factor of the output filter and is not shown in Figure 9. Using the above guidelines should give a compensation gain similar to the curve plotted. The open loop error amplifier gain bounds the compensation gain. Check the compensation gain at FP2 with the capabilities of the error amplifier. The closed loop gain is constructed on the graph of Figure 9 by adding the modulator gain (in dB) to the compensation gain (in dB). This is equivalent to multiplying the modulator transfer function to the compensation transfer function and plotting the gain. The compensation gain uses external impedance networks ZFB and ZIN to provide a stable, high bandwidth (BW) overall loop. A stable control loop has a gain crossing with -20dB/decade slope and a phase margin greater than 45 degrees. Include worst case component variations when determining phase margin. 12 FN9052.2 November 15, 2004 ISL6530 Output Inductor Selection The output inductor is selected to meet the output voltage ripple requirements and minimize the converter's response time to the load transient. The inductor value determines the converter's ripple current and the ripple voltage is a function of the ripple current. The ripple voltage and current are approximated by the following equations: I = VIN - VOUT fs x L x VOUT VIN VOUT = I x ESR conservative guideline. The RMS current rating requirement for the input capacitor of a buck regulator is approximately 1/2 the DC load current. The maximum RMS current required by the regulator may be closely approximated through the following equation: I RMS = V OUT V IN - V OUT V OUT 2 2 1 ------------- x I OUT + ----- x ---------------------------- x ------------- V IN V IN 12 L x f s MAX MAX Increasing the value of inductance reduces the ripple current and voltage. However, the large inductance values reduce the converter's response time to a load transient. One of the parameters limiting the converter's response to a load transient is the time required to change the inductor current. Given a sufficiently fast control loop design, the ISL6530 will provide either 0% or 100% duty cycle in response to a load transient. The response time is the time required to slew the inductor current from an initial current value to the transient current level. During this interval the difference between the inductor current and the transient current level must be supplied by the output capacitor. Minimizing the response time can minimize the output capacitance required. The response time to a transient is different for the application of load and the removal of load. The following equations give the approximate response time interval for application and removal of a transient load: tRISE = L x ITRAN VIN - VOUT tFALL = L x ITRAN VOUT For a through-hole design, several electrolytic capacitors may be needed. For surface mount designs, solid tantalum capacitors can be used, but caution must be exercised with regard to the capacitor surge currentrating. These capacitors must be capable of handling the surge-current at power-up. Some capacitor series available from reputable manufacturers are surge current tested. MOSFET Selection/Considerations The ISL6530 requires two N-Channel power MOSFETs for each PWM regulator. These should be selected based upon rDS(ON) , gate supply requirements, and thermal management requirements. In high-current applications, the MOSFET power dissipation, package selection and heatsink are the dominant design factors. The power dissipation includes two loss components; conduction loss and switching loss. The conduction losses are the largest component of power dissipation for both the upper and the lower MOSFETs. These losses are distributed between the two MOSFETs according to duty factor. The switching losses seen when sourcing current will be different from the switching losses seen when sinking current. The VDDQ regulator will only source current while the VTT regulator can sink and source. When sourcing current, the upper MOSFET realizes most of the switching losses. The lower switch realizes most of the switching losses when the converter is sinking current (see the equations below). These equations assume linear voltage-current transitions and do not adequately model power loss due the reverse-recovery of the upper and lower MOSFET's body diode. The gate-charge losses are dissipated by the ISL6530 and don't heat the MOSFETs. However, large gate-charge increases the switching interval, tSW which increases the MOSFET switching losses. LOSSES WHILE SOURCING CURRENT 2 1 P UPPER = Io x r DS ( ON ) x D + -- Io x V IN x t SW x f s 2 2xr PLOWER = Io DS(ON) x (1 - D) LOSSES WHILE SINKING CURRENT PUPPER = Io2 x rDS(ON) x D 2 1 P LOWER = Io x r DS ( ON ) x ( 1 - D ) + -- Io x V IN x t SW x f s 2 where: ITRAN is the transient load current step, tRISE is the response time to the application of load, and tFALL is the response time to the removal of load. The worst case response time can be either at the application or removal of load. Be sure to check both of these equations at the minimum and maximum output levels for the worst case response time. Input Capacitor Selection Use a mix of input bypass capacitors to control the voltage overshoot across the MOSFETs. Use small ceramic capacitors for high frequency decoupling and bulk capacitors to supply the current needed each time Q1 turns on. Place the small ceramic capacitors physically close to the MOSFETs and between the drain of Q1 and the source of Q2 . The important parameters for the bulk input capacitor are the voltage rating and the RMS current rating. For reliable operation, select the bulk capacitor with voltage and current ratings above the maximum input voltage and largest RMS current required by the circuit. The capacitor voltage rating should be at least 1.25 times greater than the maximum input voltage and a voltage rating of 1.5 times is a Where: D is the duty cycle = VOUT / VIN , tSW is the combined switch ON and OFF time, and fs is the switching frequency. 13 FN9052.2 November 15, 2004 ISL6530 Ensure that both MOSFETs are within their maximum junction temperature at high ambient temperature by calculating the temperature rise according to package thermal-resistance specifications. A separate heatsink may be necessary depending upon MOSFET power, package type, ambient temperature and air flow. Given the reduced available gate bias voltage (5V), logiclevel or sub-logic-level transistors should be used for both NMOSFETs. Caution should be exercised when using devices with very low gate thresholds (VTH). The shoot-through protection circuitry may be circumvented by these MOSFETs. Very high dv/dt transitions on the phase node may cause the Miller capacitance to couple the lower gate with the phase node and cause an undesireable turn on of the lower MOSFET while the upper MOSFET is on. The bootstrap capacitor begins its refresh cycle when the gate drive begins to turn-off the upper MOSFET. A refresh cycle ends when the upper MOSFET is turned on again, which varies depending on the switching frequency and duty cycle. The minimum bootstrap capacitance can be calculated by rearranging the previous equation and solving for CBOOT. Q GATE C BOOT ---------------------------------------------------V BOOT1 - V BOOT2 Bootstrap Component Selection External bootstrap components, a diode and capacitor, are required to provide sufficient gate enhancement to the upper MOSFET. The internal MOSFET gate driver is supplied by the external bootstrap circuitry as shown in Figure 10. The boot capacitor, CBOOT, develops a floating supply voltage referenced to the PHASE pin. This supply is refreshed each cycle, when DBOOT conducts, to a voltage of VCC less the boot diode drop, VD, plus the voltage rise across QLOWER. VCC DBOOT + VD CBOOT UGATEn PHASEn QUPPER NOTE: VG-S VCC -VD QLOWER NOTE: VG-S VCC GND VIN Typical gate charge values for MOSFETs considered in these types of applications range from 20 to 100nC. Since the voltage drop across QLOWER is negligible, VBOOT1 is simply VCC - VD. A Schottky diode is recommended to minimize the voltage drop across the bootstrap capacitor during the on-time of the upper MOSFET. Initial calculations with VBOOT2 no less than 4V will quickly help narrow the bootstrap capacitor range. For example, consider an upper MOSFET is chosen with a maximum gate charge, Qg, of 100nC. Limiting the voltage drop across the bootstrap capacitor to 1V results in a value of no less than 0.1F. The tolerance of the ceramic capacitor should also be considered when selecting the final bootstrap capacitance value. A fast recovery diode is recommended when selecting a bootstrap diode to reduce the impact of reverse recovery charge loss. Otherwise, the recovery charge, QRR, would have to be added to the gate charge of the MOSFET and taken into consideration when calculating the minimum bootstrap capacitance. BOOTn ISL6530 + LGATEn FIGURE 10. UPPER GATE DRIVE BOOTSTRAP Just after the PWM switching cycle begins and the charge transfer from the bootstrap capacitor to the gate capacitance is complete, the voltage on the bootstrap capacitor is at its lowest point during the switching cycle. The charge lost on the bootstrap capacitor will be equal to the charge transferred to the equivalent gate-source capacitance of the upper MOSFET as shown: Q GATE = C BOOT x ( V BOOT1 - V BOOT2 ) where QGATE is the maximum total gate charge of the upper MOSFET, CBOOT is the bootstrap capacitance, VBOOT1 is the bootstrap voltage immediately before turn-on, and VBOOT2 is the bootstrap voltage immediately after turn-on. 14 FN9052.2 November 15, 2004 ISL6530 ISL6530 DC-DC Converter Application Circuit Figure 11 shows an application circuit for a DDR SDRAM power supply, including VDDQ (+2.5V) and VTT (+1.25V).
