The part has been designed to be especially attractive for split plane applications utilizing 5V to power the controller and 3V to 12V for step down conversion. The heart of the SP6134H is a wide bandwidth transconductance amplifier designed to accommodate Type II and Type III compensation schemes. A precision 0.8V reference present on the positive terminal of the error amplifier permits the programming of the output voltage down to 0.8V via the VFB pin. The output of the error amplifier, COMP, compared to a 1.1V peak-to-peak ramp is responsible for trailing edge PWM control. This voltage ramp and PWM control logic are governed by the internal oscillator that accurately sets the PWM frequency to 600kHz. Date: 8/4/04 The SP6134H contains two unique control features that are very powerful in distributed applications. First, asynchronous driver control is enabled during start up to prohibit the low side NFET from pulling down the output until the high side NFET has attempted to turn on. Second, a 100% duty cycle timeout ensures that the low side NFET is periodically enhanced during extended periods at 100% duty cycle. This guarantees the synchronized refreshing of the BST capacitor during very large duty ratios. The SP6134H also contains a number of valuable protection features. A programmable input (VIN) UVLO allows a user to set the exact value at which the conversion voltage is at a safe point to begin down conversion, and an internal VCC UVLO ensures that the controller itself has enough voltage to properly operate.

In the event that either a thermal, short-circuit, or UVLO fault is detected, the SP6134H is forced into an idle state where the output drivers are held off for a finite period before a re-start is attempted. Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO) Hiccup The SP6134H contains two separate UVLO comparators to monitor the bias (VCC) and conversion (VIN) voltages independently. The VCC UVLO threshold is internally set to 4.25V, whereas the VIN UVLO threshold is programmable through the UVIN pin. When the UVIN pin is greater than 2.5V, the SP6134H is permitted to start up pending the removal of all other faults. Both the VCC and VIN UVLO comparators have been designed with hysteresis to prevent noise from resetting a fault. Soft Start Upon the detection of a power, thermal, or shortcircuit fault, the SP6134H is forced into an idle state for 100mS (typical). The SS and COMP pins are immediately pulled low, and the gate drivers are held off for the duration of the timeout period. Power and thermal faults have to be removed before a restart may be attempted, whereas, a short-circuit fault is internally cleared shortly after the fault latch is set. Therefore, a restart attempt is guaranteed every 100mS (typical) as long as the short-circuit condition persists. Thermal and Short-Circuit Protection “Soft Start” is achieved when a power converter ramps up the output voltage while controlling the magnitude of the input supply source current. In a modern step down converter, ramping up the positive terminal of the error amplifier controls soft start. As a result, excess source current can be defined as the current required to charge the output capacitor. IVIN = COUT * DVOUT / DTSoft-start The SP6134H provides the user with the option to program the soft start rate by tying a capacitor from the SS pin to GND. The selection of this capacitor is based on the 10uA pull up current present at the SS pin and the 0.8V reference voltage. Therefore, the excess source can be redefined as: IVIN = COUT * DVOUT *10µA / (CSS * 0.8V) Because the SP6134H is designed to drive large NFETs running at high current, there is a chance that either the controller or power converter will become too hot. Therefore, an internal thermal shutdown (145°C) has been included to prevent the IC from malfunctioning at extreme temperatures. A short-circuit detection comparator has also been included in the SP6134H to protect against the accidental short or sever build up of current at the output of the power converter. This comparator constantly monitors the positive and negative terminals of the error amplifier, and if the VFB pin ever falls more than 250mV (typical) below the positive reference, a short-circuit fault is set. Because the SS pin overrides the internal 0.8V reference during soft start, the SP6134H is capable of detecting short-circuit faults throughout the duration of soft start as well as in regular operation. Error Amplifier and Voltage Loop As stated before, the heart of the SP6134H voltage error loop is a high performance, wide bandwidth transconductance amplifier. Because of the amplifier’s current limited (+/-150µA) transconductance, there are many ways to compensate the voltage loop or to control the COMP pin externally. If a simple, single pole, single © Copyright 2004 Sipex Corporation Date: 8/4/04 SP6134H High Voltage, 600KHz Synchronous PWM Controller 6 THEORY OF OPERATION: Continued zero response is required, then compensation can be a simple as an RC to ground. If a more complex compensation is required, then the amplifier has enough bandwidth (45° at 4 MHz) and enough gain (60dB) to run Type III compensation schemes with adequate gain and phase margins at cross over frequencies greater than 50kHz. The common mode output of the error amplifier is 0.9V to 2.2V. Therefore, the PWM voltage ramp has been set between 1.1V and 2.2V to ensure proper 0% to 100% duty cycle capability. The voltage loop also includes two other very important features. One is an asynchronous start up mode. Basically, the GL driver can not turn on unless the GH driver has attempted to turn on or the SS pin has exceeded 1.7V. This feature prevents the controller from “dragging down” the output voltage during startup or in fault modes. The second feature is a 100% duty cycle timeout that ensures synchronized refreshing of the BST capacitor at very high duty ratios. In the event that the GH driver is on for 20 continuous clock cycles, a reset is given to the PWM flip flop half way through the 21st cycle. This forces GL to rise for the remainder of the cycle, in turn refreshing the BST capacitor.

These state of the art drivers are designed to drive external NFETs capable of handling up to 30A. Rise, fall, and non-overlap times have all been minized to achieve maximum efficiency. All drive pins GH, GL & SWN are monitored continuously to ensure that only one external NFET is ever on at any given time.

In a typical SP6134H circuit, the inductor is chosen primarily for value, saturation current and DC resistance. Increasing the inductor value will decrease output voltage ripple, but degrade transient response. Low inductor values provide the smallest size, but cause large ripple currents, poor efficiency and more output capacitance to smooth out the larger ripple current. The inductor must also be able to handle the peak current at the switching frequency without saturating, and the copper resistance in the winding should be kept as low as possible to minimize resistive power loss. A good compromise between size, loss and cost is to set the inductor ripple current to be within 20% to 40% of the maximum output current. The switching frequency and the inductor operating point determine the inductor value as follows: I PEAK = I OUT (max) + I PP 2 and provide low core loss at the high switching frequency. Low cost powdered iron cores have a gradual saturation characteristic but can introduce considerable ac core loss, especially when the inductor value is relatively low and the ripple current is high. Ferrite materials, on the other hand, are more expensive and have an abrupt saturation characteristic with the inductance dropping sharply when the peak design current is exceeded. Nevertheless, they are preferred at high switching frequencies because they present very low core loss and the design only needs to prevent saturation. In general, ferrite or molypermalloy materials are better choice for all but the most cost sensitive applications. The power dissipated in the inductor is equal to the sum of the core and copper losses. To minimize copper losses, the winding resistance needs to be minimized, but this usually comes at the expense of a larger inductor. Core losses have a more significant contribution at low output current where the copper losses are at a minimum, and can typically be neglected at higher output currents where the copper losses dominate. Core loss information is usually available from the magnetic vendor. The copper loss in the inductor can be calculated using the following equation: 2 PL( Cu) = I L ( RMS ) RWINDING L= where: VOUT (V IN (max) − VOUT ) VIN (max) FS Kr I OUT ( max) Fs = switching frequency Kr = ratio of the ac inductor ripple current to the maximum output current The peak to peak inductor ripple current is: I PP = VOUT (VIN (max) − VOUT ) VI N (max) FS L where IL(RMS) is the RMS inductor current that can be calculated as follows: IL(RMS) = IOUT(max) 1 + 1 3 Once the required inductor value is selected, the proper selection of core material is based on peak inductor current and efficiency requirements. The core must be large enough not to saturate at the peak inductor current ( IPP IOUT(max) ) 2 Date: 8/4/04 SP6134H High Voltage, 600KHz Synchronous PWM Controller © Copyright 2004 Sipex Corporation 8 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION: Continued Output Capacitor Selection FS = Switching Frequency D = Duty Cycle COUT = Output Capacitance Value Input Capacitor Selection The required ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and capacitance drive the selection of the type and quantity of the output capacitors. The ESR must be small enough that both the resistive voltage deviation due to a step change in the load current and the output ripple voltage do not exceed the tolerance limits expected on the output voltage. During an output load transient, the output capacitor must supply all the additional current demanded by the load until the SP6134CU adjusts the inductor current to the new value. Therefore the capacitance must be large enough so that the output voltage is help up while the inductor current ramps up or down to the value corresponding to the new load current. Additionally, the ESR in the output capacitor causes a step in the output voltage equal to the current. Because of the fast transient response and inherent 100% and 0% duty cycle capability provided by the SP6134CU when exposed to output load transient, the output capacitor is typically chosen for ESR, not for capacitance value. The output capacitor’s ESR, combined with the inductor ripple current, is typically the main contributor to output voltage ripple. The maximum allowable ESR required to maintain a specified output voltage ripple can be calculated by: RESR ≤ ∆VOUT IPK-PK where: ∆VOUT = Peak to Peak Output Voltage Ripple IPK-PK = Peak to Peak Inductor Ripple Current The total output ripple is a combination of the ESR and the output capacitance value and can be calculated as follows: The input capacitor should be selected for ripple current rating, capacitance and voltage rating. The input capacitor must meet the ripple current requirement imposed by the switching current. In continuous conduction mode, the source current of the high-side MOSFET is approximately a square wave of duty cycle VOUT/VIN. Most of this current is supplied by the input bypass capacitors. The RMS value of input capacitor current is determined at the maximum output current and under the assumption that the peak to peak inductor ripple current is low, it is given by: ICIN(rms) = IOUT(max) √D(1 - D) The worse case occurs when the duty cycle D is 50% and gives an RMS current value equal to IOUT/2. Select input capacitors with adequate ripple current rating to ensure reliable operation. The power dissipated in the input capacitor is: 2 P = ICIN ( rms ) R ESR( CIN ) CIN This can become a significant part of power losses in a converter and hurt the overall energy transfer efficiency. The input voltage ripple primarily depends on the input capacitor ESR and capacitance. Ignoring the inductor ripple current, the input voltage ripple can be determined by: I OUT ( MAX )VOUT (VI N − VOUT ) FS C INV IN 2 ∆ VIN = I out (max) RE SR (CIN ) + ∆VOUT = IPP (1 – D) COUTFS Date: 8/4/04 where: ( ) 2 + (IPPRESR)2 SP6134H High Voltage, 600KHz Synchronous PWM Controller © Copyright 2004 Sipex Corporation 9 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION: Continued The capacitor type suitable for the output capacitors can also be used for the input capacitors. However, exercise extra caution when tantalum capacitors are considered. Tantalum capacitors are known for catastrophic failure when exposed to surge current, and input capacitors are prone to such surge current when power supplies are connected “live” to low impedance power sources. MOSFET Selection The losses associated with MOSFETs can be divided into conduction and switching losses. Conduction losses are related to the on resistance of MOSFETs, and increase with the load current. Switching losses occur on each on/off transition when the MOSFETs experience both high current and voltage. Since the bottom MOSFET switches current from/to a paralleled diode (either its own body diode or a Schottky diode), the voltage across the MOSFET is no more than 1V during switching transition. As a result, its switching losses are negligible. The switching losses are difficult to quantify due to all the variables affecting turn on/ off time. However, the following equation provides an approximation on the switching losses associated with the top MOSFET driven by SP6134H. RDS(ON) = drain to source on resistance. The total power losses of the top MOSFET are the sum of switching and conduction losses. For synchronous buck converters of efficiency over 90%, allow no more than 4% power losses for high or low side MOSFETs. For input voltages of 3.3V and 5V, conduction losses often dominate switching losses. Therefore, lowering the RDS(ON) of the MOSFETs always improves efficiency even though it gives rise to higher switching losses due to increased Crss. Top and bottom MOSFETs experience unequal conduction losses if their on time is unequal. For applications running at large or small duty cycle, it makes sense to use different top and bottom MOSFETs. Alternatively, parallel multiple MOSFETs to conduct large duty factor. RDS(ON) varies greatly with the gate driver voltage. The MOSFET vendors often specify RDS(ON) on multiple gate to source voltages (VGS), as well as provide typical curve of RDS(ON) versus VGS. For 5V input, use the RDS(ON) specified at 4.5V VGS. At the time of this publication, vendors, such as Fairchild, Siliconix and International Rectifier, have started to specify RDS(ON) at VGS less than 3V. This has provided necessary data for designs in which these MOSFETs are driven with 3.3V and made it possible to use SP6134H in 3.3V only applications. Thermal calculation must be conducted to ensure the MOSFET can handle the maximum load current. The junction temperature of the MOSFET, determined as follows, must stay below the maximum rating. PSH (max) = 12C rssV IN (max) I OUT (max) FS where Crss = reverse transfer capacitance of the top MOSFET Switching losses need to be taken into account for high switching frequency, since they are directly proportional to switching frequency. The conduction losses associated with top and bottom MOSFETs are determined by: PCH (max) = RDS (ON ) I OUT (max) D PCL(max) = R DS (ON ) I OUT (max) (1 − D) where PCH(max) = conduction losses of the high side MOSFET PCL(max) = conduction losses of the low side MOSFET Date: 8/4/04 2 TJ ( max) = T A (max) + where PMOSFET (max) Rθ JA 2 TA(max) = maximum ambient temperature PMOSFET(max) = maximum power dissipation of the MOSFET RΘJA = junction to ambient thermal resistance. RΘJA of the device depends greatly on the board © Copyright 2004 Sipex Corporation SP6134H High Voltage, 600KHz Synchronous PWM Controller 10 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION: Continued layout, as well as device package. Significant thermal improvement can be achieved in the maximum power dissipation through the proper design of copper mounting pads on the circuit board. For example, in a SO-8 package, placing two 0.04 square inches copper pad directly under the package, without occupying additional board space, can increase the maximum power from approximately 1 to 1.2W. For DPAK package, enlarging the tap mounting pad to 1 square inches reduces the RΘJA from 96°C/W to 40°C/W. Schottky Diode Selection diode is equal to input voltage, and the diode must be able to handle the peak current equal to the maximum load current. The power dissipation of the Schottky diode is determined by PDIODE = 2VFIOUTTNOLFS where TNOL = non-overlap time between GH and GL. VF = forward voltage of the Schottky diode. Loop Compensation Design When paralleled with the bottom MOSFET, an optional Schottky diode can improve efficiency and reduce noises. Without this Schottky diode, the body diode of the bottom MOSFET conducts the current during the non-overlap time when both MOSFETs are turned off. Unfortunately, the body diode has high forward voltage and reverse recovery problem. The reverse recovery of the body diode causes additional switching noises when the diode turns off. The Schottky diode alleviates these noises and additionally improves efficiency thanks to its low forward voltage. The reverse voltage across the The open loop gain of the whole system can be divided into the gain of the error amplifier, PWM modulator, buck converter output stage, and feedback resistor divider. In order to crossover at the selected frequency FCO, the gain of the error amplifier has to compensate for the attenuation caused by the rest of the loop at this frequency.

The first step of compensation design is to pick the loop crossover frequency. High crossover frequency is desirable for fast transient response, but often jeopardizes the system stability. Crossover frequency should be higher than the ESR zero but less than 1/5 of the switching frequency. The ESR zero is contributed by the ESR associated with the output capacitors and can be determined by: 1 2π COUT RESR 1/6.28 (RZ2) (CP1) 1/6.28 (RZ3) (CZ3) 1/6.28 (R1) (CZ3) 1/6.28(R22) (CZ2) 1/6.28 (R1) (CZ2) Frequency (Hz) When the output capacitors are of a Ceramic Type, the SP6134CU Evaluation Board requires a Type III compensation circuit to give a phase boost of 180° in order to counteract the effects of an under damped resonance of the output filter at the double pole frequency.
