device description and operation L6717 18/56 doc id 17326 rev 1 4 device description and operation L6717 is a hybrid cpu power supply controller compatible with both par allel (pvi) and serial (svi) protocols for amd processors. the device provides complete control logic and protections for a high-performance step-down dc-dc voltage regulator, optimized for advanced microprocessor power supply supporting both pvi and svi communication. it embeds two independent controllers for cpu core and the integrated nb, each one with its own set of protections. nb phase (when enabled) is automatically phase-shifted with respect to the core phases in order to reduce the total input rms current amount. the device features an additional power manager i 2 c interface to ea sy the system design for enthusiastic application where the main parameters of the voltage regulator have to be modified. L6717 is able to adjust the regulated voltage, the switching frequency and also the ov protection threshold through the power manager i 2 c bus while the app lication is running assuring fast and reliable transitions. dynamic phase management (dpm) allows the de vice to automatically adjust the phase count according to the current delivered to the load. this feature allow the system to keep alive only the phases really necessary to sustain the load saving in power dissipation so optimizing the efficiency over the whole current range of the application. dpm can be enabled through the power manager i 2 c bus. L6717 is able to detect which kind of cpu is conn ected in order to configure itself to work as a single-plane pvi controller or dual-plane svi controller. the controller performs a single-phase control for the nb section and a programmable 2-to- 4 phase control for the core section featuring dual-edge non-latched architecture: this allows fast load-transient response optimizing the output filter consequently reducing the total bom cost. further reduction in output filter can be achieved by enabling ltb technology ? . psi_l flag is sent to the vr through the svi bus. the controller monitors this flag and selectively modifies the phase number in order to optimize the system efficiency when the cpu enters low-power states. this causes the over-all efficiency to be maximized at light loads so reducing losses and system power consumption. both sections feature programmable overvoltage protection and adjustable constant overcurrent protection. voltage positioning (ll) is possible thanks to an accurate fully- differential current-sense across the main inductors for both sections. L6717 features dual remote sensing for the regulated outputs (core and nb) in order to recover from pcb voltage drops also protecting the load from possible feedback network disconnections. lsless start-up function allows the controller to manage pre-biased start-up avoiding dangerous current return through the main inductors as well as negative undershoot on the output voltage if the output filter is still charged before start-up. L6717 supports v_fix mode for system debugging: in this particular configuration the svi bus is used as a static bus configuring 4 operative voltages for both the sections and ignoring any serial-vid command. when working in pvi mode, the device features on-the-fly vid management: vid code is continuously sampled and the reference update according to the variation detected, L6717 is available in vfqfpn48 package.
L6717 hybrid cpu support and cpu_type detection doc id 17326 rev 1 19/56 5 hybrid cpu support and cpu_type detection L6717 is able to detect the type of the cpu-core connected and to configure itself accordingly. at system start-up, on the rising-edge of the en signal, the device monitors the status of vid1 and configures the pvi mode (vid1 = 1) or svi mode (vid1 = 0). when in pvi mode, L6717 uses the information available on the vid[0: 5] bus to address the core section output voltage according to t a ble 6 . nb section is kept in hiz mode, both mosfets are kept off. when in svi mode, L6717 ignores the information available on vid0, vid4 and vid5 and uses vid2 and vid3 as a svi bus addressing the core and nb sections according to the svi protocol. caution: to avoid any risk of errors in cpu type detection (i.e. detecting svi cpu when pvi cpu is installed on the socket and vice versa), it is recommended to carefully control the start-up sequencing of the system hosting L6717 in order to ensure than on the en rising-edge, vid1 is in valid and correct state. typical connections consider vid1 connected to cpu core_type through a resistor to correctly address the cpu detection. 5.1 pvi - parallel interface pvi is a 6-bit-wide parallel inte rface used to address the core section reference. according to the selected code, the device sets the co re section reference and regulates its output voltage as reported into t a ble 6 . nb section is always kept in hiz; no activity is performed on this section and both the high- side and low-side of this section are kept of f. furthermore, pwrok information is ignored as well since the signal only applies to the svi protocol. 5.2 pvi start-up once the pvi mode has been detected, the device uses the whole code available on the vid[0:5] lines to define the reference for the core section. nb section is kept in hiz. soft- start to the programmed reference is performed regardless of the state of pwrok. see s ection 7.8 for details about soft-start.

L6717 power manager i2c doc id 17326 rev 1 29/56 6.1.1 overspeeding command (ovrspd) this command allows to add a variable positive/negative offset to the core and/or nb reference programmed by the svi bus in order to overspeed the cpu. L6717 allows adding up to 1.550 v in 50 mv steps to the reference. the maximum possible output voltage for core sect ion is internally limited to 2.8 v. in case the svi programmed reference plus the offset set through the ovrspd command exceed this value, the reference for the regulation is clamped to 2.8 v. the maximum possible output voltage for nb se ction is internally limited by the maximum offset achievable for nb section that is +600 mv over the svi programmed reference. once the controller acknowledges the command and recognizes the ovrspd command, the reference will step up or down until reaching the target offset performing a on-the-fly vid transition. in case a new overspeed command is issued while the output voltage is not yet stabilized (i.e. the reference is still stepping to th e target), the target is updated according to the new offset defined. the command addresses both sections through two separate bits in the command code (?cn? bits - see t a ble 12 ). by asserting the corresponding bit, the subsequent data stream will apply to the identified se ction. asserting both bits (?cn? = 11b) will address both sections. cn = 00b will be ignored regardless of the data stream provided. ?cn? = 10b and ?cn? = 01b allow to address only core or only nb section respectively. 010 [1:4] xxxx [5:6] k drpnb [7:8] k drp drp_adj: droop function adjustment. modifies the slope of the output voltage implemented th rough the droop function.

output voltage positioning L6717 34/56 doc id 17326 rev 1 7 output voltage positioning output voltage positioning is performed by selecting the controller operative-mode ( s vi, pvi and v_fix ) and by programming the droop function and offset to the reference of both the sections (see figure 9 ). the controller reads the current delivered by each section by monitoring the voltage drop across the dcr inductors. the current (i droop / i droop_nb ) sourced from the fb / nb_fb pin, directly proportional to the read current, causes the related section output voltage to vary according to the external r fb / r fb_nb resistor so implementing the desired load-line effect. L6717 embeds a dual remote-sense buffer to sense remotely the regulated voltage of each section without any additional external components. in this way, the output voltage programmed is regulated compensating for board and socket losses. keeping the sense traces parallel and guarded by a power plane results in common mode coupling for any picked-up noise. figure 9. voltage positioning 1.2v r os scl/os core_reference fb comp vsen fbg r f c f r fb to vdd_core (remote sense) k drp i droop -i os i os core protection monitor from svi dac... nb_reference nb_fb nb_comp nb_vsen nb_fbg r f_nb c f_nb r fb_nb to vdd_nb (remote sense) k drpnb i droop_nb nb protection monitor from dac... core section voltage positioning nb section voltage positioning operative only when power manager i2c disabled offset from power manager i2c (active when enabled) clamp to 2.8v max

L6717 system control loop compensation doc id 17326 rev 1 49/56 11 system control loop compensation the device embeds two separate and independent control loops for core and nb section. the control loop for nb section is a simple volt age-mode control loop with (optional) voltage positioning featured when droop pin is shorted with fb. the control loop for the core section also features a current-sharing loop to equalize the current carried by each of the configured phases. the core control system can be modeled with an equivalent single-phase converter whose only difference is the equivalent inductor l/n (where each phase has an l inductor and n is the number of the configured phases). see figure 17 . figure 17. equivalent control loop for nb and core sections this means that the same analysis can be used for both the sections with the only exception of the different equivalent inductor value (l=l nb for nb section and l=l core /n for the core section) and the current reading gain (dcr/r g_nb for nb section and dcr/r g for the core section). the control loop gain results (obtained opening the loop after the comp pin): where: r ll is the equivalent output resistance determined by the droop function; z p (s) is the impedance resulting by the parallel of the output capacitor (and its esr) and the applied load r o ; z f (s) is the compensation network impedance; z l (s) is the equivalent inductor impedance; a(s) is the erro r amplifier gain; is the pwm transfer function. the control loop gain for each section is designed in order to obtain a high dc gain to minimize static error and to cross the 0db axes with a constant -20 db/dec. slope with the desired crossover frequency t . neglecting the effect of z f (s), the transfer function has one zero and two poles; both the poles are fixed once the output filter is designed (lc filter resonance lc ) and the zero ( esr ) is fixed by esr and the droop resistance. ref nb_comp nb_vsen nb_fbg r f_nb c f_nb r fb_nb pwm l nb esr_nb c o_nb r o_nb d v nb_comp v out_nb z f (s) z fb (s) k drpnb i droop_nb vid_nb v nb_comp ref comp vsen fbg r f c f r fb pwm l core /n esr c o r o d v comp v out z f (s) z fb (s) k drp i droop vid_core v comp fb nb_fb g loop s () pwm z f s () r ll z p s () + () ?? z p s () z l s () + [] z f s () as () -------------- 1 1 as () ----------- - + ?? ?? r fb ? + ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ? = pwm 3 5 -- - v in v osc ------------------ - ? =
system control loop compensation L6717 50/56 doc id 17326 rev 1 figure 18. control loop bode diagram and fine tuning (not in scale) to obtain the desired shape an r f -c f series network is considered for the z f (s) implementation. a zero at f =1/r f c f is then introduced together with an integrator. this integrator minimizes the static error while placing the zero f in correspondence with the l- c resonance assures a simple -20 db/dec. shape of the gain. in fact, considering the usual value for the output filter, the lc resonance results to be at frequency lower than the above reported zero. compensation network can be simply designed placing f = lc and imposing the cross- over frequency t as desired obtaining (always considering that t might be not higher than 1/10th of the switching frequency f sw ): 11.1 compensation network guidelines the compensation network design assures to having system response according to the cross-over frequency selected and to the output filter considered: it is anyway possible to further fine-tune the compensation network modifying the bandwidth in order to get the best response of the system as follow (see figure 18 ): ? increase r f to increase the system bandwidth accordingly; ? decrease r f to decrease the system bandwidth accordingly; ? increase c f to move f to low frequencies increasing as a consequence the system phase margin. having the fastest compensation network gives not the confidence to satisfy the requirements of the load: th e inductor still limits the maxi mum di/dt that the system can afford. in fact, when a load transient is applied, the best that the controller can do is to ?saturate? the duty cycle to its maximum (d max ) or minimum (0) value. the output voltage dv/dt is then limited by the inductor charge / discharge time and by the output capacitance. in particular, the most limiting transition corresponds to the load removal since the inductor results being discharged only by v out (while it is charged by d max v in -v out during a load appliance). db z f (s) g loop (s) k lc = f esr t r f [db] db z f (s) g loop (s) k lc = f esr t r f [db] r f c f r f r fb v osc ? v in --------------------------------- - 3 5 -- - t l nr ll esr + () ? ------------------------------------------ - ?? ? = c f c o l ? r f ------------------- - =

layout guidelines L6717 52/56 doc id 17326 rev 1 13 layout guidelines layout is one of the most important things to consider when designing high current applications. a good layout solution can generate a benefit in lowering power dissipation on the power paths, reducing radiation and a proper connection between signal and power ground can optimize the performance of the control loops. two kind of critical components and connections have to be considered when laying-out a vrm based on L6717: power components and connections and small signal components connections. 13.1 power components and connections these are the components and connections where switching and high continuous current flows from the input to the load. the first priority when placing components has to be reserved to this power section, minimizing the length of each connection and loop as much as possible. to minimize noise and voltage sp ikes (emi and losses) these interconnections must be a part of a power plane and anyway realized by wide and thick copper traces: loop must be anyway minimized. the critical components, i.e. the power transistors, must be close one to the other. the use of multi-layer printed circuit board is recommended. traces between the driver section and the mosfets should be wide to minimize the inductance of the trace so minimizing ringing in the driving signals. moreover, vias count needs to be minimized to reduce the related parasitic effect. locate the bypass capacitor (vcc, vccdr and boot capacitors) close to the device with the shortest possible loop and use wide copp er traces to minimize parasitic inductance. systems that do not use schottky diodes in parallel to the low-side mosfet might show big negative spikes on the phase pin. this spike can be limited as well as the positive spike but it causes the bootstrap capacitor to be over-c harged. this extra-charge can cause, in the worst case condition of maximum input voltage and during particular transients, that boot-to- phase voltage overcomes the abs.max.ratings also causing device failures. it is then suggested in this cases to limit this extra-ch arge by adding a small resistor r boot in series to the boot capacitor or the boot diode. the use of r boot also contributes in the limitation of the spike present on the boot pin. figure 20. driver turn-on and turn-off paths r gate r int c gd c g s c d s vccdr l s x driver l s mo s fet gnd (pad) lgatex r gate r int c gd c g s c d s bootx h s x driver h s mo s fet pha s ex hgatex r boot
L6717 layout guidelines doc id 17326 rev 1 53/56 for heat dissipation, place copper area under the ic. this copper area must be connected with internal copper layers through several vias to improve the thermal conductivity. the combination of copper pad, copper plane and vias under the controller allows the device to reach its best thermal performances. 13.2 small signal components and connections these are small signal components and connecti ons to critical nodes of the application as well as bypass capacitors for the device supp ly. locate the bypass capacitor close to the device and refer sensible components such as frequency set-up resistor r osc , offset resistor and ovp resistor r ovp to sgnd (when applicable). star grounding is suggested: use the device exposed pad as a connection point. vsen pin filtered vs. sgnd helps in reducing noise inje ction into device and en pin filtered vs. sgnd helps in reducing false trip due to co upled noise: take care in routing driving net for this pin in order to minimize coupled noise. remote buffer connection must be routed as parallel nets from the fbg/fbr pins to the load in order to avoid the pick-up of any common mode noise. connecting these pins in points far from the load will cause a non-optimum load regulation, in creasing output tolerance. locate current reading components close to the device. the pcb traces connecting the reading point must use dedicated nets, routed as parallel traces in order to avoid the pick-up of any common mode noise. it's also important to avoid any offset in the measurement and, to get a better precision, to connect the traces as close as possible to the sensing elements. symmetrical layout is also suggested. small filtering capacitor can be added, near the controller, between v out and sgnd, on the csxn line when reading across inductor to allow higher layout flexibility.
