A precise 5 bit digital to analog converter (DAC) allows to adjust the output voltage from 1.050 to 1.825 with 25mV binary steps. The high precision internal reference assures the selected output voltage to be within 1%. The high peak current gate drive affords to have fast switching to the external power mos providing low switching losses. The device assures a fast protection against load overcurrent and load over-voltage. An external SCR is triggered to crowbar the input supply in case of hard overvoltage. An internal crowbar is also provided turning on the low side mosfet as long as the overvoltage is detected. In case of over-current detection, the soft start capacitor is discharged an the system works in HICCUP mode.

The voltage at this pin is fixed at 1.23V.

It provides complete control logic and protections for a high performance step-down DC-DC converter optimized for microprocessor power supply. It is designed to drive N Channel Mosfets in a synchronous-rectified buck topology. The device works properly with Vcc ranging from 5V to 12V and regulates the output voltage starting from a 1.26V power stage supply voltage (Vin). The output voltage of the converter can be precisely regulated, programming the VID pins, from 1.050V to 1.825V with 25mV binary steps, with a maximum tolerance of 1% over temperature and line voltage variations. The device provides voltage-mode control with fast transient response. It includes a 200kHz free-running oscillator that is adjustable from 50kHz to 1MHz. The error amplifier features a 15MHz gain-bandwidth product and 10V/ ms slew rate which permits high converter bandwidth for fast transient performance. The resulting PWM duty cycle ranges from 0% to 100%. The device protects against over-current conditions entering in HICCUP mode. The device monitors the current by using the rDS(ON) of the upper MOSFET which eliminates the need for a current sensing resistor. The device is available in SO20 package. Oscillator The switching frequency is internally fixed to 200kHz. The internal oscillator generates the triangular waveform for the PWM charging and discharging with a constant current an internal capacitor. The current delivered to the oscillator is tipically 50A (Fsw=200KHz) and may be varied using an external resistor (RT) connected between RT pin and GND or VCC. Since the RT pin is maintained at fixed voltage (typ. 1.235V), the frequency is varied proportionally to the current sinked (forced) from (into) the pin. In particular connecting it to GND the frequency is increased (current is sinked from the pin), according to the following relationship: 4.94 10 f S = 200kH z + -----------------------R T ( k ) 6 Connecting RT to VCC=12V or to VCC=5V the frequency is reduced (current is forced into the pin), according to the following relationships: 5/20 L6911E 4.306 10 ------------------------f S = 200kH z + ---R T ( k ) 15 10 f S = 200k H z + -------------------R T ( k ) Switching frequency variations vs. RT are reported in Fig.1. 7 7 VCC = 12V VCC = 5V Note that forcing a 50A current into this pin, the device stops switching because no current is delivered to the oscillator.

The internal reference is trimmed to ensure the precision of 1%. The internal reference voltage for the regulation is programmed by the voltage identification (VID) pins. These are TTL compatible inputs of an internal DAC that is realised by means of a series of resistors rpoviding a partition of the internal voltage reference. The VID code drives a multiplexer that selects a voltage on a precise point of the divider. The DAC output is delivered to an amplifier obtaining the VPROG voltage reference (i.e. the set-point of the error amplifier). Internal pull-ups are provided (realized with a 5A current generator); in this way, to program a logic "1" it is enough to leave the pin floating, while to program a logic "0" it is enough to short the pin to GND. The voltage identification (VID) pin configuration also sets the power-good thresholds (PGOOD) and the overvoltage protection (OVP) thresholds. Soft Start and Inhibit At start-up a ramp is generated charging the external capacitor CSS by means of a 10A constant current, as shown in figure 2. When the voltage across the soft start capacitor (VSS) reaches 0.5V the lower power MOS is turned on to discharge the output capacitor. As VSS reaches 1V (i.e. the oscillator triangular wave inferior limit) also the upper 6/20 L6911E MOS begins to switch and the output voltage starts to increase. The VSS growing voltage initially clamps the output of the error amplifier, and consequently VOUT linearly increases, as shown in figure 2. In this phase the system works in open loop. When VSS is equal to VCOMP the clamp on the output of the error amplifier is released. In any case another clamp on the non-inverting input of the error amplifier remains active, allowing to VOUT to grow with a lower slope (i.e. the slope of the VSS voltage, see figure 2). In this second phase the system works in closed loop with a growing reference. As the output voltage reaches the desired value VPROG, also the clamp on the error amplifier input is removed, and the soft start finishes. Vss increases until a maximum value of about 4V. The Soft-Start will not take place, and the relative pin is internally shorted to GND, if both VCC and OCSET pins are not above their own Turn-On thresholds; in this way the device starts switching only if both the power supplies are present. During normal operation, if any under-voltage is detected on one of the two supplies, the SS pin is internally shorted to GND and so the SS capacitor is rapidly discharged. The device goes in INHIBIT state forcing SS pin below 0.4V. In this condition both external MOSFETS are kept off. Figure 2.

The low-side mos driver is supplied directly by Vcc while the high-side driver is supplied by the BOOT pin. Adaptative dead time control is implemented to prevent cross-conduction and allow to use many kinds of mosfets. The upper mos turn-on is avoided if the lower gate is over about 200mV while the lower mos turn-on is avoided if the PHASE pin is over about 500mV. The upper mos is in any case turned-on after 200nS from the low side turn-off. The peak current is shown for both the upper (fig. 3) and the lowr (fig. 4) driver at 5V and 12V. a 4nF capacitive load has been used in these measurements. For the lower driver, the source peak current is 1.1A @ Vcc=12V and 500mA @ Vcc=5V, and the sink peak current is 1.3A @ Vcc=12V and 500mA @ Vcc=5V. Similary, for the upper driver, the source peak current is 1.3A @ Vboot-Vphase=12V and 600mA @ VbootVphase =5V, and the sink peak current is 1.3A @ Vboot-Vphase =12V and 550mA @ Vboot-Vphase =5V. 7/20 L6911E Figure 3.

Vcc=12V (left) Vcc=5V (right)CH1 = Low Side Gate CH4 = Inductor Current Monitor and Protection The output voltage is monitored by means of pin 1 (VSEN). If it is not within 10% (typ.) of the programmed value, the powergood output is forced low. The device provides overvoltage protection, when the output voltage reaches a value 17% (typ.) greater than the nominal one. If the output voltage exceed this threshold, the OVP pin is forced high (5V) and the lower driver is turned on as long as the over-voltage is detected. The OVP pin is capable to deliver up to 60mA (min) in order to trigger an external SCR connected to burn the input fuse. The low-side mosfet turn-on implement this function when the SCR is not used and helps in keeping the ouput low. To perform the overcurrent protection the device compares the drop across the high side MOS, due to its RDSON, with the voltage across the external resistor (ROCS) connected between the OCSET pin and drain of the upper MOS. Thus the overcurrent threshold (IP) can be calculated with the following relationship: I OCS R OCS IP = -------------------------------R DSON where the typical value of IOCS is 200A. To calculate the ROCS value it must be considered the maximum RDSON (also the variation with temperature) and the minimum value of IOCS. To avoid undesirable trigger of overcurrent protection this relationship must be satisfied: 8/20 L6911E l I P IO UT MAX + ---- = I PEAK 2 where I is the inductance ripple current and IOUTMAX is the maximum output current. In case of output short circuit the soft start capacitor is discharged with constant current (10A typ.) and when the SS pin reaches 0.5V the soft start phase is restarted. During the soft start the over-current protection is always active and if such kind of event occours, the device turns off both mosfets, and the SS capacitor is dicharged again after reaching the upper threshold of about 4V. The system is now working in HICCUP mode, as shown in figure 5a. After removing the cause of the over-current, the device restart working normally without power supplies turn off and on. Figure 5. 9 8 L=1.5H, Vin=12V L=2H, Vin=12V L=3H, Vin=12V L=1.5H, Vin=5V L=2H, Vin=5V L=3H, Vin=5V Inductor Ripple [A] 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 0 .5 1 .5 2 .5 3 .5 O utput Voltage [V] a: Hiccup Mode b: Inductor Ripple Current vs. Vout Inductor design The inductance value is defined by a compromise between the transient response time, the efficiency, the cost and the size. The inductor has to be calculated to sustain the output and the input voltage variation to maintain the ripple current IL between 20% and 30% of the maximum output current. The inductance value can be calculated with this relationship: VIN - VO UT V OUT L = ----------------------------- ------------V IN f s I L Where fSW is the switching frequency, VIN is the input voltage and VOUT is the output voltage. Figure 5b shows the ripple current vs. the output voltage for different values of the inductor, with vin=5V and Vin=12V. Increasing the value of the inductance reduces the ripple current but, at the same time, reduces the converter response time to a load transient. If the compensation network is well designed, the device is able to open or close the duty cycle up to 100% or down to 0%. The response time is now the time required by the inductor to change its current from initial to final value. Since the inductor has not finished its charging time, the output current is supplied by the output capacitors. Minimizing the response time can minimize the output capacitance required. The response time to a load transient is different for the application or the removal of the load: if during the application of the load the inductor is charged by a voltage equal to the difference between the input and the output voltage, during the removal it is discharged only by the output voltage. The following expressions give approximate response time for I load transient in case of enough fast compensation network response: 9/20 L6911E L I ta pplicatio n = ----------------------------V IN - VOU T L I t removal = --------------VOUT The worst condition depends on the input voltage available and the output voltage selected. Anyway the worst case is the response time after removal of the load with the minimum output voltage programmed and the maximum input voltage available. Output Capacitor Since the microprocessors require a current variation beyond 10A doing load transients, with a slope in the range of tenth A/sec, the output capacitor is a basic component for the fast response of the power supply. In fact for first few microseconds they supply the current to the load. The controller recognizes immediately the load transient and sets the duty cycle at 100%, but the current slope is limited by the inductor value. The output voltage has a first drop due to the current variation inside the capacitor (neglecting the effect of the ESL): VOUT = IOUT * ESR A minimum capacitor value is required to sustain the current during the load transient without discharge it. The voltage drop due to the output capacitor discharge is given by the following equation: I OU T L ---------------------------------------------VOU T = ---------------------------------------------2 C OU T ( VINM IN D M AX - V OUT ) Where DMAX is the maximum duty cycle value that is 100%. The lower is the ESR, the lower is the output drop during load transient and the lower is the output voltage static ripple. 2 Input Capacitor The input capacitor has to sustain the ripple current produced during the on time of the upper MOS, so it must have a low ESR to minimize the losses. The rms value of this ripple is: I rm s = IO UT D ( 1 - D ) Where D is the duty cycle. The equation reaches its maximum value with D=0.5. The losses in worst case are: P = ESR Irm s Compensation network design The control loop is a voltage mode (figure 7) that uses a droop function to satisfy the requirements for a VRM module, reducing the size and the cost of the output capacitor. This method "recovers" part of the drop due to the output capacitor ESR in the load transient, introducing a dependence of the output voltage on the load current: at light load the output voltage will be higher than the nominal level, while at high load the output voltage will be lower than the nominal value. 2 10/20 L6911E Figure 6. Output transient response without (a) and with (b) the droop function ESR DROP ESR DROP VMAX VDROOP VNOM VMIN (a) (b) As shown in figure 6, the ESR drop is present in any case, but using the droop function the total deviation of the output voltage is minimized. In practice the droop function introduces a static error (Vdroop in figure 6) proportional to the output current. Since a sense resistor is not present, the output DC current is measured by using the intrinsic resistance of the inductance (a few m). So the low-pass filtered inductor voltage (that is the inductor current) is added to the feedback signal, implementing the droop function in a simple way. Referring to the schematic in figure 7, the static characteristic of the closed loop system is: R 3 + R 8 // R9 R L R8 // R9 V OU T = V PROG + V PROG ------------------------------------- - ----------------------------------- I OUT R8 R2 Where VPROG is the output voltage of the digital to analog converter (i.e. the set point) and RL is the inductance resistance. The second term of the equation allows a positive offset at zero load (V+); the third term introduces the droop effect (VDROOP). Note that the droop effect is equal the ESR drop if: R L R 8 // R9 ----------------------------------- = ESR R8 Figure 7.

So R4 is considered connected to VOUT. Under this assumption, the voltage loop has the following transfer function: 12/20 L6911E ZC ( s ) Zf ( s ) Vin -----------------------------G loop ( s) = Av ( s) R ( s ) = Av ( s ) ------------- Where Av ( s ) = ---------------- ------Vo sc Z C ( s ) + Z L ( s ) Z i ( s) Where ZC(s) and ZL(s) are the output capacitor and inductor impedance respectively.

To understand the reason of the previous assumption, the scheme in figure 9 must be considered. In this scheme, the inductor current has been substituted by the load current, because in the frequencies range of interest for the Droop function these current are substantially the same and it was supposed that the droop network don't represent a charge for the inductor. 13/20 L6911E Figure 9.

In the application two Mosfets STS12NF30L (30V, 8.5m typ with VGS=12V) connected in parallel are used for the High Side, while three of them are used for the Low Side. Figure 11.

Output Capacitor In the demo six OSCON capacitors, model 6SP680M, are used, with a maximum ESR equal to 12m each. Therefore the resultant ESR is of 2m. For load transient of 28.5A in the worst case the voltage drop is of: Vout = 28.5 * 0.002 = 57mV The voltage drop due to the capacitor discharge during load transient, considering that the maximum duty cicle is equal to 100% results in 46.5mV with 1.85V of programmed output. Input Capacitor For IOUT=28.5A and with D=0.5(worst case for input current ripple), Irms is equal to 17.8A. Three OSCON electrolityc capacitors 6SP680M, with a maximum ESR equal to 12m, are chosen to substain the ripple. So the losses in worst case are: = ESR I rms = ( 1.25 ( 670)m 2 Over-Current Protection Substituting the demo board parameters in the relationship reported in the relative section, (IOCSMIN=170A; IP=33A; RDSONMAX=3m) it results that ROCS=1k. 15/20 L6911E Connector Pin Orientation Pin # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Row A 5Vin 5Vin 5Vin 5Vin 12Vin 12Vin Reserved VID0 VID2 VID4 (25mV) OUTEN VTT_PWRGD Vss VccCORE VccCORE Vss VccCORE Vss VccCORE Vss VccCORE Vss VccCORE Vss VccCORE Pin # 50 49 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 Mechanical Key 33 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 Row B 5Vin 5Vin 5Vin 5Vin 12Vin 12Vin No Contact VID1 VID3 PWRGD Ishare VTT Vss Vss VccCORE Vss VccCORE Vss VccCORE Vss VccCORE Vss VccCORE Vss VccCORE 16/20 L6911E PCB AND COMPONENTS LAYOUT Figure 12.
