SS9175/6 Dual Synchronous DC/DC Controllers With Current Sharing Circuitry FEATURES Two sets of integrated MOSFET drivers Fixed operating frequency of 300, 600 or 1000kHz Dual-phase current-sharing controller to minimize ripple and improve transient response Wide input supply range: 4.5V to 16V Programmable output as low as 0.8v Internal error amplifier reference voltage of 0.7V +/- 1% Programmable over-current protection (OCP) with 50% fold-back Over-voltage protection (OVP) Soft-start Remote ON/OFF control High voltage pin up to 30V for bootstrap voltage Power-good output signal provided Current-sharing balance within +/-5% matching (SS9175CS/SS9176CS) Two independent PWM controllers (SS9175) Packaged in SO-20 (9175/CS) or SO-16 (9176CS) DESCRIPTION The SS9175/6 series are dual-phase synchronous DC/ DC PW M cont rol l ers f or power s u p p l i e s requiring a single high-current output, or two independent outputs with high conversion efficiency. They integrate two sets of internal MOSFET drivers consisting of high-side and low side driving circuits. The internal temperature-independent reference voltage is trimmed to 0.7V +/- 1%, and is connected to the error amplifier’s positive terminal for voltage feedback regulation. The over-current protection (OCP) level, with 50% fold-back, can be programmed by an external resistor. The over-voltage protection (OVP) point is fixed at 25% higher above 0.7V. The soft-start circuit ensures the duty cycle of the PWM output can be gradually and smoothly increased from zero to its desired value. The controllers can be remotely turned ON or OFF to enter into either active or standby mode, respectively. The SS9175/6 series provides three different options: The SS9175 is a 20-pin version that is designed for two independent outputs without current sharing capability. The SS9175CS is a 20-pin version designed for current sharing applications. The SS9176CS is a 16-pin version for current sharing applications.

An internal comparator senses the voltage difference between CL+ and CL- pin. If the CL- pin voltage is lower than the CL+ pin voltage, meaning there is a larger current flowing through the high-side MOSFET, the comparator will trigger the OCP protection. The OCP function also has a 50% fold-back circuit to limit the MOSFET current within the desired over-current value. The SS9175/6 series controllers integrate two sets of synchronous MOSFET driver circuits with current sharing capability. The following descriptions highlight the advantages of the SS917x designs. Soft-start A 25uA start-up current is provided by the SS/EN pin for the start-up sequence. During this start-up sequence, the SS917x is disabled when the SS/EN pin is less than 1.0V. From 1.0V to 3.0V, PWM output duty cycle is gradually and smoothly increased to its desired value. During this time, the current sharing circuit is disabled for smooth soft start. After 3.0V, the current sharing circuit is enabled and the whole circuit operates normally. Oscillator operation The SS9175/6 series have three versions with different oscillation frequencies. The oscillation frequency is fixed at 300 kHz, 600 kHz or 1 MHz. The voltage amplitude of the internal saw tooth oscillator is from 1.2V to 2.8V. Error amplifier The error amplifier’s inverting input is connected to the IN pin, and the output is connected to the COMP pin. The COMP output is available for external compensation, allowing designers to control the feedback-loop frequency-response. Non-inverting input is not wired out to a pin, but it is internally biased to a fixed 0.7V ± 1% voltage. Output driver The high-side driver uses an external bootstrap circuit to provide the required boost supply voltage. The external bootstrap circuit uses the BSTC output voltage for providing the diode voltage. For the low-side driver, the supply voltage is coming from the BSTC output voltage, which is roughly 6V if VCC is larger than 6.5V.The output stage is designed to ensure zero cross-conduction current. Current Sharing The dual-phase controller has current-sharing capability to match both channels to within 5%.

The dual phase MOSFETs must be supplied from the same supply voltage (in this case, from 12V). They can also be supplied from a 5V supply voltage. As there is only a single output voltage (1.4V in this case), the divided voltage is fed back to the IN pin. The VCC supply voltage can be either 12V or 5V, depending on the convenience of PCB layout, but VCC = 12V is recommended. If VCC > 6.5V, the BSTC output is fixed at 6V. This BSTC voltage is used as the supply voltage for the bootstrap circuit’s diodes input. A 10uF capacitor is recommended for BSTC decoupling. A 1k resistor is connected from CL2+ to the MOSFET’s high-side voltage. This 1k resistor is used to program the OCP level.
