UCD9111 sepember 2006 11 www.ti.com 4 typical characteristics to be included in later revision of the data sheet 5 function overview 5.1 reset 5.1.1 power-on reset the UCD9111 has an integrated reset block which m onitors the supply voltage. at power-up, the por detects the vd33 rise. when vd33 is greater than a predetermined reference point, vrst, a reset pulse is generated and a startup delay sequence is initiated. at the end of the delay sequence, the system reset signal is deasserted and the device begins normal operation. (see table 5-1) in applications with long vd33 rise times, the external reset (rst) should be used to ensure startup occurs when the supply voltage is greater than the minimu m operating voltage. at the normal operating condition, this rst pin must be connected to a parallel combination of a 10k ? resistor and 0.1 f capacitor to avss. 5.1.2 brown-out reset the UCD9111 also has an integrated brown-out reset circuit that is used to generate a reset when the supply voltage falls below a fixed trip reference volt age. the device is held in reset until the supply voltage rises above the minimum voltage threshold, at which time a new reset pulse is generated and the por circuit restarts the device. (see table 5-1) 5.1.3 watchdog timer built-in watchdog provide protection from unpredicted operation. 5.1.4 external reset the device can be forced into the rese t state by an external circuit conn ected to the pin rst. a logic high voltage on this pin generates a reset signal. to avoid an erroneous trigger caused by the noise, a pull down resistor and a decoupling cap is necessary. table 5-1 device reset voltage threshold vd33= 3.3v, ta= -40oc to 85oc (unless otherwise noted) parameter test conditions min typ max unit power-on reset, vrst 2.4 2.5 2.8 v brown-out threshold 2.2 v hysteresis 0.2 v

UCD9111 sepember 2006 13 www.ti.com 5.3 pmbus address the digital pol system has the ability to be configur ed with different pmbus addresses. to configure different addresses, a voltage will be applied to the pins addr1 and addr0 on the UCD9111. the following table shows what pmbus addre sses are indicated by the applied voltage. figure 5-1. v addr to pmbus address translation note that the nominal value for each voltage step (and each pmbus address) is in the center of each band. the address can be represented by the formula: pmbus_addr = addr0 * 12 + addr1 table 5-4 lists the examples of the pmbus addres s for given the voltage level on the pin1 and pin2. addresses 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 v addr 3.00 3.30 address not valid 3.0< v addr < 3.3 0.25 0.50 0.75 1.00 1.25 1.50 1.75 2.00 2.25 2.50 2.75

UCD9111 sepember 2006 15 www.ti.com 5.5 output voltage sensing figure 5-2. output voltage sensing circuitry figure 5-2 shows the voltage sensi ng circuitry in UCD9111. it is part of feedback loop. two dedicated pins, eap and ean, are employed to sense the output voltage th rough differential mode. t he differential sensing can effectively reduce the noise induced by the switch ing devices. to get a good regulation, eap and ean can use remote sensing to minimize the load drop. the maximum voltage for veap-vean should be less than 2.45v. if output voltage is higher than 2.45v, a voltage divider should be used to decrease the input voltage level below 2.45v.
UCD9111 september 2006 16 www.ti.com 6 pmbus interface pmbus is an industry st andard specification for power management.. the uc d9111 supports all of the pmbus data commands that are relevant to this applicati on. most of the functionality in the dpol application for the UCD9111 uses pmbus commands to support each of the functions. for each pmbus command supported in this specification, all smbus transa ction types associated with that command are also supported. this enables the user to write and read the support parameters through the pmbus commands, and smbus transactions. the firmware for the UCD9111 is pmbus compliant, in ac cordance with the ?compliance? section of the pmbus specification. the firmware is also compliant with the smbus 1.1 specification, including support for the smbus alert function. 6.1 pmbus timing the timing characteristics and timing diagram fo r the communications interface that supports i 2 c, smbus and pmbus is shown at figure 3 in the se ction electrical characteristics. 6.2 output configuration commands 6.2.1 remote on/off remote on/off is supported by the software in the uc d9111 controller. this behav ior is configurable and is supported by a combination of the pmbus commands bel ow and the pmb_ctl signal which is connected to pin 23. the pmbus commands that support this functionality are: on_off_config operation the on_off_config command is used to configure the policy by which th e unit is turned on and off, and the operation command is used to turn the unit on and off according to this policy. power supply is turned on when pmb_ctl pin is pulled high; it is turned off when the pin is pulled down. 6.2.1 output voltage set point the pmbus commands that support this functionality are: vout_mode vout_command vout_max voltage_scale_loop voltage_scale_monitor
UCD9111 sepember 2006 17 www.ti.com vout_mode and vout_command set the new output voltage mode and the vout_max command sets the maximum output voltage. vout_mode is used fo r commanding and reading output voltage, and it consists of a three-bit mode and a five-bit parame ter representing the exponent used in output voltage read/write. the voltage set by vout_command is more than vout_max, the command is ignored. the voltage_scale_loop and voltage_scale_monitor commands are used to scaling the output voltage. 6.2.3 output voltage calibration the UCD9111 supports v out output calibration. output calibration is supported dynamically and can be changed with the supply is operational. the pmbu s command that supports this functionality is: vout_cal the vout_cal command supports output voltage calibra tion by providing a fixed offset voltage to the output voltage command values. 6.2.4 margin up/down the UCD9111 supports margin up/down linearly through a programmable rate. the pmbus commands to support this functionality are: vout_margin_high vout_margin_low vout_transition_rate the vout_margin_high command is used to provide th e unit with the voltage to which the output is to be changed when the operation is set to ?margin high?. the vout_margin_low command is used to provide the unit with the voltage to which the output is to be changed when the operation is set to ?margin low?. when margining up or down, the rate at which the voltage margining increases or decreases will be specified by the vout_transition_rate command. 6.2.5 output current measurement there are two commands in UCD9111 to measure output current. the output current is measured by sensing the voltage drop across the dcr of each output inductor. this current is represented as the iout value. the pmbus commands that support this functionality are: iout_scale iout_cal_offset the UCD9111 has two manufacturer specific commands to report the current. the iout_cal_offset command support output current calibration by nullifyi ng any offsets in the current sensing circuits. the iout_scale command is used to set the ratio of the voltage at the current sense pins to the sensed current.
UCD9111 september 2006 18 www.ti.com this can be graphically depicted as shown below. figure 6-1. current gain and offset 6.2.6 start up into pre-bias the UCD9111 supports starting the power supply when there is an existing output voltage when the system starts. the system will start up with an output voltage higher than the output voltage set point. the duty cycle is calculated by dividing v out by v in (duty cycle = v out / v in ). the time constant for this operation is 50 ms and regulation will be achieved by this time. when the pmbus control line is asserted, the ucd911 1 looks at the output voltage to determine if a prebias is present. the algorithm for this is as follows: if v out < 300 mv, then the startup is done assuming no pr e-bias. start up proceeds normally through delay and soft start states. if v out > 3.65v, then the device does not attempt startup if v out > output voltage set point, then disable overvolt age protection (ovp), calculate the duty cycle (v out / v in ), bypass the soft start state and commence switching. when v out < v out_ high limit, re-enabled ovp. the response time from this action will be less than 10 ms. if v out < output voltage set point, then turn off v out low protection, calculate the duty cycle, bypass the soft start state and commence switching. when v out > v out low, then re-enable v out low protection. there are no pmbus commands associated with this functionality. 6.2.7 output voltage sequencing the UCD9111 supports output voltage sequencing. out put voltage sequencing is started based on receiving an indication from the pmb control (pmb_ctl) signal from the system host. the pmbus commands that support this functionality are: ton_delay toff_delay i out v sense offset gain measured value adjusted value
UCD9111 sepember 2006 19 www.ti.com ton_delay is used to specify the delay from when the pmbus control line is asserted to when the output voltage starts to rise. toff_delay is used to specify the delay from when the pmbus control line is deasserted to when the output voltage starts to fall. 6.2.8 output voltage soft start soft start timing starts when the pmb_ctl line is asse rted (voltage rise). the system configures the delay from the assertion of the pmb_ctl signal to when the output voltage entered the regulation band. the system also configures the maximum time this pr ocess can take, without causing an undervoltage fault, and what action to take for an error. the pmbus commands that support this functionality are: ton_rise ton_max_fault_limit ton_max_fault_response when the voltage is rising, the ton_rise command sp ecifies the time from when output voltage tracking starts, to when the output voltage enters the re gulation band. the ton_max_fault_limit command specifies the maximum amount of time that this proces s can take, before an undervoltage fault will occur. the ton_max_fault_response command specifies the action to be taken if the po wer supply does not reach the regulation band before the maximum time specified by ton_rise has elapsed. 6.2.9 output voltage soft stop soft stop timing starts when the pmb_ctl line is deasserted (voltage fall). toff_fall toff_max_fault_limit toff_max_fault_response the toff_fall command specifies the time from when the voltage starts to fall to when it is off. the toff_max_fault_limit command specifies the maximum amount of time that this process can take, before an overvoltage fault will oc cur. the toff_max_fault_response command specifies the action to be taken if the power supply does not reach 0v by the maximum time specifies in toff fall has elapsed. in the event that the voltage fails to rise or fall ac cording to the criteria above, the status_vout command will reflect the failure to meet the configured output voltage tracking. 6.2.10 power good (pgood) the UCD9111 supports providing indication of power good to the host. the UCD9111 will monitor output voltage and will either assert or deassert the power good signal based on this voltage. the UCD9111 uses the pgood (pin 21) as the power good signal and the pol arity of this signal can be configured as active high or active low through pmbus. this signal drives an open collector gpio pin on the host system.
UCD9111 september 2006 20 www.ti.com power good is asserted when the syst em is operational and is deliver ing the configured output voltage. power good will be deasserted when any condition (fault or otherwise) causes the system to ramp down output voltage. the system will assert (or deassert) th is signal within 1ms of the event that causes the transition. the pmbus commands that support this functionality are: power_good_on power_good_off mfr_specific_00 the power_good_on command is used to specify the voltage at which the power good signal should be asserted. the power_good_off command is used to specify the voltage at which the power good signal should be deasserted. the mfr_specific_00 command configur es the polarity of the power good signal. a value of 0 in the least significant byte in this command means that the power good signal should be configured to be active low. a value of 1 in the least significant byte in this command means that the power good signal should be configured to be active high. 6.3 protection commands UCD9111 provides lots of feature to monitor input voltage, output voltage, output current, and temperature. the threshold can be programmable through pmbus, and the status and the faults are sent to the host computer if requested. 6.3.1 input under voltage protection(vin_uvp) input voltage is sensed on adc_vin (p in4) of UCD9111, and the data is processed based on the threshold programmed through pmbus. the pmbus commands that will support this functionality are: vin_uv_warn_limit vin_uv_fault_limit vin_uv_fault_response vin_on vin_off when the input voltage starts to rise towards the re gulation band, the vin_on command sets the voltage at which power conversion starts. when the voltage is in the regulation band, the system then observes the input voltage for both input under and over voltage warnings and faults. if the voltage falls below the value set by the vin_off command, t hen power conversion will stop. if the voltage falls below the value set through t he vin_uv_warn_limit command, then an under voltage warning occurs.
UCD9111 sepember 2006 21 www.ti.com if the voltage continues to fall and falls below the value set through the vin_uv_fault_limit command, then an under voltage fault occurs. the action taken in this event is specified by the vin_uv_fault_respo nse command. when an under-voltage fault occurs, the vin_uv_fault _response register instructs the system how to react. there are two response bits that instruct the sy stem what to do in the even t of these failures. input under-voltage fault response actions 6.3.2 input over voltage protection (vin_ovp) the UCD9111 supports warnings and faults for input over voltage protection. the latency from when the voltage goes out of range to when power is ramped down is 20ms. the pmbus commands that support this functionality are: vin_ov_warn_limit vin_ov_fault_limit vin_ov_fault_response for input over voltage warnings , the vin_ov_warn_limit command is used to set the input voltage at which an over voltage warning occurs. 6.3.3 output over voltage protection (vo_ovp) UCD9111 monitors output voltage by the vout (pin5). in order to compensate for possible transient cases, when the first over-voltage reading happens, the firmware will monitor the output voltage more closely. if a second over-voltage reading happens within 100 s, the firmware will flag this as an over-voltage event and not just as a transient condition. when an over-voltage fault event oc curs, the firmware will send out a short pwm pulse and toggle the sre signal to latch the sync fet on. this will make sure that the driver w ill try to pull down the over voltage actively through the sync fet. the UCD9111 offers programmable output over volt age protection. the firmware can be configured to monitor (and act upon) ovp faults and warnings in dependently. if this condition occurs, the UCD9111 will take the action configured through the pmbus response commands shown below. the pmbus commands that support this functionality are: vout_ov_warn_limit vout_ov_fault_limit vout_ov_fault_response for output under voltage warnings , the vout_ov_warn_limit command sets the voltage at which an output under voltage warning will occur.
