LTC3735 2-Phase, High Efficiency DC/DC Controller for Intel Mobile CPUs DESCRIPTION FEATURES n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n Output Stages Operate Antiphase ±1% Output Voltage Accuracy 6-Bit IMVP-IV VID Code: VOUT = 0.7V to 1.708V Intel Compatible Power Saving Mode (PSIB) Stage Shedding Improves Low Current Efficiency Power Good Output with Adaptive Masking Lossless Voltage Positioning Dual Input Supply Capability for Load Sharing Resistor Programmable VOUT at Boot-Up and Deeper Sleep State Resistor Programmable Deep Sleep Offset Programmable Fixed Frequency: 210kHz to 550kHz Adjustable Soft-Start Current Ramping Foldback Output Current Limit Short-Circuit Shutdown Timer with Defeat Option Overvoltage Protection Available in 36-Lead SSOP (0.209 Wide) and 38-Lead (5mm × 7mm) Packages The LTC®3735 is a 2-phase synchronous step-down switching regulator controller that drives all N-channel power MOSFETs in a constant frequency architecture. The output voltage is programmable by six VID bits during normal operation and by external resistors during initial boot-up and deeper sleep state. The LTC3735 drives its two output stages out-of-phase at frequencies up to 550kHz to minimize the RMS ripple currents in both input and output capacitors. This antiphase technique also doubles the apparent switching frequency, improving the transient response while operating each phase at an optimum frequency for efficiency. Thermal design is further simplified by cycle-by-cycle current sharing between the two phases. An Intel compatible PSIB input is provided to select between two modes of operation. Fully enhanced synchronous mode achieves a very small output ripple and very fast transient response while power saving mode realizes very high efficiency. OPTI-LOOP® compensation allows the transient response to be optimized for a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values.

Output Overvoltage Protection An overvoltage comparator, OV, guards against transient overshoots (>10%) as well as other more serious conditions that may overvoltage the output. In this case, the top MOSFET is turned off and the bottom MOSFET is turned on until the overvoltage condition is cleared. Short-Circuit Detection The RUN/SS capacitor is used initially to limit the inrush current from the input power source. Once the controllers have been given time, as determined by the capacitor on the RUN/SS pin, to charge up the output capacitors and provide full-load current, the RUN/SS capacitor is then used as a short-circuit timeout circuit. If the output voltage falls to less than 70% of its nominal output voltage the RUN/SS capacitor begins discharging assuming that the output is in a severe overcurrent and/or short-circuit condition. If the condition lasts for a long enough period as determined by the size of the RUN/SS capacitor, the controller will be shut down until the RUN/SS pin voltage is recycled. This built-in latchoff can be overidden by providing a current >5µA to the RUN/SS pin. This current shortens the soft-start period but also prevents net discharge of the RUN/SS capacitor during a severe overcurrent and/or short-circuit condition. Foldback current limiting is activated when the output voltage falls below 70% of its nominal level whether or not the shortcircuit latchoff circuit is enabled. 3735fa 11 LTC3735 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION biased with a resistor divider to prevent noise getting into the system. A graph for the voltage applied to the FREQSET pin vs frequency is given in Figure 2. As the operating frequency is increased the gate drive and switching losses will be higher, reducing efficiency (see Efficiency Considerations). The maximum switching frequency is approximately 550kHz. 600 550 OPERATING FREQUENCY (kHz) The basic LTC3735 application circuit is shown in Figure 1 on the first page of this data sheet. External component selection begins with the selection of the inductors based on ripple current requirements and continues with the current sensing resistors using the calculated peak inductor current and/or maximum current limit. Next, the power MOSFETs, D1 and D2 are selected. The operating frequency and the inductor are chosen based mainly on the amount of ripple current. Finally, CIN is selected for its ability to handle the input ripple current (that PolyPhase® operation minimizes) and COUT is chosen with low enough ESR to meet the output ripple voltage and load step specifications (also minimized with PolyPhase). Current mode architecture provides inherent current sharing between output stages. The circuit shown in Figure 1 can be configured for operation up to an input voltage of 28V (limited by the external MOSFETs). Current mode control allows the ability to connect the two output stages to two different input power supply rails. A heavy output load can take some power from each input supply according to the selection of the RSENSE resistors. 500 450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 FREQSET PIN VOLTAGE (V) 3.0 3735 F02 Figure 2. Operating Frequency vs VFREQSET RSENSE Selection For Output Current Inductor Value Calculation and Output Ripple Current RSENSE1,2 are chosen based on the required peak output current. The LTC3735 current comparator has a maximum threshold of 72mV/RSENSE and an input common mode range of SGND to PVCC. The current comparator threshold sets the peak inductor current, yielding a maximum average output current IMAX equal to the peak value less half the peak-to-peak ripple current, ∆IL. The operating frequency and inductor selection are interrelated in that higher operating frequencies allow the use of smaller inductor and capacitor values. So why would anyone ever choose to operate at lower frequencies with larger components? The answer is efficiency. A higher frequency generally results in lower efficiency because MOSFET gate charge and transition losses increase directly with frequency. In addition to this basic tradeoff, the effect of inductor value on ripple current and low current operation must also be considered. The PolyPhase approach reduces both input and output ripple currents while optimizing individual output stages to run at a lower fundamental frequency, enhancing efficiency. Assuming a common input power source for each output stage and allowing a margin for variations in the LTC3735 and external component values yields: RSENSE = 2(40mV/IMAX) Operating Frequency The LTC3735 uses a constant frequency architecture with the frequency determined by an internal capacitor. This capacitor is charged by a fixed current plus an additional current which is proportional to the DC voltage applied to the FREQSET pin. The FREQSET voltage is internally set to 1.2V. It is recommended that this pin is actively The inductor value has a direct effect on ripple current. The inductor ripple current ∆IL, decreases with higher inductance or frequency and increases with higher VIN: ∆IL = VOUT  VOUT  1− fL  VIN  where f is the individual output stage operating frequency. 3735fa 12 LTC3735 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION In a 2-phase converter, the net ripple current seen by the output capacitor is much smaller than the individual inductor ripple currents due to ripple cancellation. The details on how to calculate the net output ripple current can be found in Linear Technology Application Note 77. Figure 3 shows the net ripple current seen by the output capacitors for 1- and 2-phase configurations. The output ripple current is plotted for a fixed output voltage as the duty factor is varied between 10% and 90% on the x‑axis. The graph can be used in place of tedious calculations, simplifying the design process. Accepting larger values of ∆IL allows the use of low inductances, but can result in higher output voltage ripple. A reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is ∆IL = 0.4(IOUT)/2, where IOUT is the total load current. Remember, the maximum ∆IL occurs at the maximum input voltage. The individual inductor ripple currents are determined by the frequency, inductance, input and output voltages. 1.0 1-PHASE 2-PHASE 0.9 0.8 0.6 VO/fL ∆IO(P-P) Ferrite designs have very low core loss and are preferred at high switching frequencies, so design goals can concentrate on copper loss and preventing saturation. Ferrite core material saturates “hard,” which means that inductance collapses abruptly when the peak design current is exceeded. This results in an abrupt increase in inductor ripple current and consequent output voltage ripple. Do not allow the core to saturate! A variety of inductors designed for high current, low voltage applications are available from manufacturers such as Sumida, Coilcraft, Coiltronics, Toko and Panasonic. Power MOSFET, D1 and D2 Selection Two external power MOSFETs must be selected for each output stage with the LTC3735: one N-channel MOSFET for the top (main) switch, and one N-channel MOSFET for the bottom (synchronous) switch. The peak-to-peak drive levels are set by the PVCC voltage. This voltage typically ranges from 4.5V to 7V. Consequently, logic-level threshold MOSFETs must be used in most applications. Pay close attention to the BVDSS specification for the MOSFETs as well; most of the logiclevel MOSFETs are limited to 30V or less. 0.7 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 is very dependent on inductor type selected. As inductance increases, core losses go down. Unfortunately, increased inductance requires more turns of wire and therefore copper losses will increase. 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 DUTY FACTOR (VOUT/VIN) 0.8 0.9 3735 F03 Figure 3. Normalized Output Ripple Current vs Duty Factor [IRMS ≈ 0.3 (∆IO(P-P)] Inductor Core Selection Once the values for L1 and L2 are known, the type of inductor must be selected. High efficiency converters generally cannot afford the core loss found in low cost powdered iron cores, forcing the use of more expensive ferrite, molypermalloy, or Kool Mµ cores. Actual core loss is independent of core size for a fixed inductor value, but it Selection criteria for the power MOSFETs include the “ON” resistance RDS(ON), gate charge QG, reverse transfer capacitance CRSS, breakdown voltage BVDSS and maximum continuous drain current ID(MAX). When the LTC3735 is operating at continuous mode in a step-down configuration, the duty cycles for the top and bottom MOSFETs of each power stage are approximately: Top MOSFET Duty Cycle = VOUT VIN Bottom MOSFET Duty Cycle = VIN – VOUT VIN (1) (2) 3735fa 13 LTC3735 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The conduction losses of the top and bottom MOSFETs are therefore: PCONTOP = VOUT VIN 2 I  •  OUT  • (1+ δ • ∆T ) •RDS(ON)(3)  2  V –V PCONBOT = IN OUT VIN 2 I  •  OUT  • (1+ δ • ∆T )  2  (4) • RDS(ON) where IOUT is the total output current at full load, ∆T is the difference between MOSFET operating temperature and room temperature, and δ is the temperature dependency of RDS(ON). δ is roughly 0.004/°C ~ 0.006/°C for low voltage MOSFETs. The power losses of driving the top and bottom MOSFETs are simply: PDRTOP = QG • PVCC • f (5) PDRBOT = QG • PVCC • f (6) Use QG data at VGS = PVCC in MOSFET data sheets. f is the switching frequency as described previously. Please notice that the above gate driving losses are usually not dissipated by the MOSFETs. Instead they are mainly dissipated on the internal drivers of the LTC3735, if there are no resistors connected between the drive pins (TG, BG) and the gates of the MOSFETs. The calculation of MOSFET switching loss is complicated by several factors including the wide distribution of power MOSFET threshold voltage, the nonlinearity of current rising/falling characteristic and the Miller Effect. Given the data in a typical power MOSFET data sheet, the switching losses of the top and bottom MOSFETs can only be estimated as follows: V 2 •I PSWTOP = IN OUT • f • CRSS •RDR • 4 per Phase  1  1 +    VDR – VTH(MIN) VTH(MIN)  PSWBOT ≈ 0 (7) (8) where RDR is the effective driver resistance (of approximately 2Ω), VDR is the driving voltage (= PVCC) and VTH(MIN) is the minimum gate threshold voltage of the MOSFET. Please notice that the switching loss of the bottom MOSFET is effectively negligible because the current conduction of the antiparalleling diode. This effect is often referred as zero-voltage-transition (ZVT). Similarly when the LTC3735 converter works under fully synchronous mode at light load, the reverse inductor current can also go through the body diode of the top MOSFET and make the turn-on loss to be negligible. However, equations 7 and 8 have to be used in calculating the worst-case power loss, which happens at highest load level. The selection criteria of power MOSFETs start with the stress check: VIN < BVDSS IMAX < ID(MAX) and PCONTOP + PSWTOP < top MOSFET maximum power dissipation specification PCONBOT + PSWBOT < bottom MOSFET maximum power dissipation specification The maximum power dissipation allowed for each MOSFET depends heavily on MOSFET manufacturing and packaging, PCB layout and power supply cooling method. Maximum power dissipation data are usually specified in MOSFET data sheets under different PCB mounting conditions. The next step of selecting power MOSFETs is to minimize the overall power loss: POVL = PTOP + PBOT = (PCONTOP + PDRTOP + PSWTOP) + (PCONBOT + PDRBOT + PSWBOT) For typical mobile CPU applications where the ratio between input and output voltages is higher than 2:1, the bottom MOSFET conducts load current most of the time while the main losses of the top MOSFET are for switching and driving. Therefore a low RDS(ON) part (or multiple parts in parallel) would minimize the conduction loss of the bottom 3735fa 14 LTC3735 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION CIN and COUT Selection In continuous mode, the source current of each top N‑channel MOSFET is a square wave of duty cycle VOUT/ VIN. A low ESR input capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current must be used. The details of a closed form equation can be found in Linear Technology Application Note 77. Figure 4 shows the input capacitor ripple current for a 2-phase configuration with the output voltage fixed and input voltage varied. The input ripple current is normalized against the DC output current. The graph can be used in place of tedious calculations. The minimum input ripple current can be achieved when the input voltage is twice the output voltage. In the graph of Figure 4, the 2-phase local maximum input RMS capacitor currents are reached when: VOUT 2k − 1 = VIN 4 0.6 1-PHASE 2-PHASE 0.5 DC LOAD CURRENT The Schottky diodes, D1 and D2 in Figure 1 conduct during the dead-time between the conduction of the top and bottom MOSFETs. This helps reduce the current flowing through the body diode of the bottom MOSFET. A body diode usually has a forward conduction voltage higher than that of a Schottky and is thus detrimental to efficiency. The charge storage and reverse recovery of a body diode also cause high frequency rings at the switching nodes (the conjunction nodes between the top and bottom MOSFETs), which are again not desired for efficiency or EMI. Some power MOSFET manufacturers integrate a Schottky diode with a power MOSFET, eliminating the need to parallel an external Schottky. These integrated Schottky-MOSFETs, however, have smaller MOSFET die sizes than conventional parts and are thus not suitable for high current applications. or to choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than required. Several capacitors may also be paralleled to meet size or height requirements in the design. Always consult the capacitor manufacturer if there is any question. RMS INPUT RIPPLE CURRNET MOSFET while a higher RDS(ON) but lower QG and CRSS part would be desirable for the top MOSFET. 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 DUTY FACTOR (VOUT/VIN) 0.8 0.9 3735 F04 Figure 4. Normalized RMS Input Ripple Current vs Duty Factor for 1 and 2 Output Stages It is important to note that the efficiency loss is proportional to the input RMS current squared and therefore a 2‑phase implementation results in 75% less power loss when compared to a single phase design. Battery/input protection fuse resistance (if used), PC board trace and connector resistance losses are also reduced by the reduction of the input ripple current in a 2-phase system. The required amount of input capacitance is further reduced by the factor, 2, due to the reduction in input RMS current. The selection of COUT is driven by the required effective series resistance (ESR). Typically once the ESR requirement has been met, the RMS current rating generally far exceeds the IRIPPLE(P-P) requirements. The steady state output ripple (∆VOUT) is determined by: where k = 1, 2   1 ∆VOUT ≈ ∆IRIPPLE  ESR + 16 • f • COUT   These worst-case conditions are commonly used for design, considering input/output variations and long term reliability. Note that capacitor manufacturer’s ripple current ratings are often based on only 2000 hours of life. This makes it advisable to further derate the capacitor, ∆IRIPPLE can be calculated from the duty factor and the ∆IL of each stage. A closed form equation can be found in where f = operating frequency of each stage, COUT = output capacitance and ∆IRIPPLE = interleaved inductor ripple currents. 3735fa 15 LTC3735 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Linear Technology Application Note 77. Assuming inductors are selected to have same ripple percentage for both 1-phase and 2-phase configurations, Figure 5 shows the reduction of output ripple current by 2-phase operation. Not only the ripple amplitude is more than halved, but the ripple frequency is also doubled. Compared with the output voltage ripple for 1-phase:   1 ∆VOUT ≈ ∆IRIPPLE  ESR + 8 • f • COUT   ∆VOUT of 2-phase is less than 50% of that of 1-phase, given the same output capacitor ESRs. Or, to have same ∆VOUT 2-phase only need half the number of output capacitors that are needed in 1-phase. The output ripple varies with input voltage since ∆IL is a function of input voltage. The output ripple will be less than ±25mV at max VIN with ∆IL = 0.4IOUT(MAX)/2 assuming: COUT required ESR < 4(RSENSE) and COUT > 1/(16f)(RSENSE) The LTC3735 employs OPTI-LOOP technique to compensate the switching regulator loop with external components (through ITH pin). OPTI-LOOP compensation speeds up regulator’s transient response, minimizes output capacitance and effectively removes constraints on output capacitor ESR. It opens a much wider selection of output capacitor types and a variety of capacitor manufactures are available for high current, low voltage switching regulators. ∆IRIPPLE OF 2-PHASE • 100% ∆IRIPPLE OF 1-PHASE 50 40 30 20 10 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 DUTY FACTOR (VOUT/VIN) 0.8 0.9 3735 F05 Manufacturers such as Nichicon, United Chemicon and Sanyo should be considered for high performance through-hole capacitors. The OS-CON semiconductor dielectric capacitor available from Sanyo has the lowest (ESR)(size) product of any aluminum electrolytic at a somewhat higher price. An additional ceramic capacitor in parallel with OS-CON type capacitors is recommended to reduce the inductance effects. In surface mount applications, multiple capacitors may have to be paralleled to meet the ESR or RMS current handling requirements of the application. Aluminum electrolytic and dry tantalum capacitors are both available in surface mount configurations. New special polymer (SP) surface mount capacitors from Panasonic offer very low ESR also but have much lower capacitive density per unit volume. In the case of tantalum, it is critical that the capacitors are surge tested for use in switching power supplies. Several excellent choices are the AVX TPS, AVX TPSV or the KEMET T510 series of surface mount tantalums, available in case heights ranging from 2mm to 4mm. Other capacitor types include Sanyo OS-CON, POSCAPs, Kemet AO-CAPs, Nichicon PL series and Sprague 595D series. Consult the manufacturer for other specific recommendations. A combination of capacitors will often result in maximizing performance and minimizing overall cost and size. PVCC Decoupling The PVCC pin supplies power to the top and bottom gate drivers and therefore must be bypassed to power ground with a minimum of 4.7µF ceramic or tantalum capacitor. Since the gate driving currents are of high amplitude and high slew rate, this bypassing capacitor should be placed very close to the PVCC and PGND pins to minimize the parasitic inductance. Do NOT apply greater than 7V to the PVCC pin. The PVCC pin also supplies current to the internal control circuitry of the LTC3735. This supply current is much lower than that of the current for the external MOSFET gate drive. Ceramic capacitors are very good for high frequency filtering and a 0.1µF ~ 1µF ceramic capacitor should be placed adjacent to the PVCC and SGND pins. Figure 5. Output Ripple Current Reduction of 2-Phase Over Single Phase 3735fa 16 LTC3735 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Topside MOSFET Driver Supply (CB,DB) (Refer to Functional Diagram) External bootstrap capacitors CB1 and CB2 connected to the BOOST1 and BOOST2 pins supply the gate drive voltages for the topside MOSFETs. Capacitor CB in the Functional Diagram is charged though diode DB from PVCC when the SW pin is low. When the topside MOSFET turns on, the driver places the CB voltage across the gate-source of the desired MOSFET. This enhances the MOSFET and turns on the topside switch. The switch node voltage, SW, rises to VIN and the BOOST pin rises to VIN + PVCC. The value of the boost capacitor CB needs to be 30 to 100 times that of the total input capacitance of the topside MOSFET(s). The reverse breakdown of DB must be greater than PVCC(MAX). VID Output Voltage Programming After 27µs ~ 71µs tBOOT delay, the output voltage of the regulator is digitally programmed as defined in Table 2 using the VID0 to VID5 logic input pins. The VID logic inputs program a precision, 0.25% internal feedback resistive divider. The LTC3735 has an output voltage range of 0.700V to 1.708V in 16mV steps. Refering to the Functional Diagram, there is a resistor, RVID, from VFB to ground. The value of RVID is controlled by the six VID input pins. Another internal resistor, 5.33k (RATTEN), completes the resistive divider. The output voltage is thus set by the ratio of (RVID + 5.33k) to RVID. An internal 1.5µA current source charges up the soft-start capacitor, CSS. When the voltage on RUN/SS reaches 1.5V, the controller is permitted to start operating. As the voltage on RUN/SS increases from 1.5V to 3.0V, the internal current limit is increased from 25mV/RSENSE to 72mV/ RSENSE. The output current thus ramps up slowly, eliminating the starting surge current required from the input power supply. If RUN/SS has been pulled all the way to ground there is a delay before starting of approximately: 1.5V tDELAY = CSS = (1s/µF ) CSS 1.5µA The time for the output current to ramp up is then: 3V − 1.5V tIRAMP = C = (1s/µF ) CSS 1.5µA SS By pulling the RUN/SS pin below 1V the LTC3735 is put into low current shutdown (IQ < 100µA). The RUN/SS pin can be driven directly from logic as shown in Figure 6. Diode D1 in Figure 6 reduces the start delay but allows CSS to ramp up slowly providing the soft-start function. The RUN/SS pin has an internal 6V zener clamp (see Functional Diagram). PVCC 3.3V OR 5V D1 RUN/SS RSS* CSS Each VID digital pin is a high impedance input. Therefore they must be actively pulled high or pulled low. The logic low threshold of the VID pins is 0.3V; the logic high threshold is 0.7V. RUN/SS CSS 3735 F06 *OPTIONAL TO DEFEAT OVERCURRENT LATCHOFF Figure 6. RUN/SS Pin Interfacing Soft-Start/Run Function Start-Up Sequence (Refer to the Functional Diagram) The RUN/SS pin provides three functions: 1) run/shutdown, 2) soft-start and 3) an optional short-circuit latchoff timer. Soft-start reduces the input power sources’ surge currents by gradually increasing the controller’s current limit. The latchoff timer prevents very short, extreme load transients from tripping the overcurrent latch. A small pull-up current (>5µA) supplied to the RUN/SS pin will prevent the overcurrent latch from operating. The following paragraph describes how the functions operate. After soft-start, the output voltage of the regulator settles at a voltage level equal to VBOOT.

Refer to the timing diagram in Figure 7. This signal then enters a logic AND gate, with MCH_PG being the other input, and the output of the gate is PG shown in Figure 7. This composite PG signal is then delayed by tBOOT amount of time and then becomes MD. As soon as MD is asserted, the output voltage changes from VBOOT to VVID, a voltage level totally controlled by the six VID bits. In the LTC3735, the time tBOOT is set to be 15 switching cycles: 1 tBOOT = 15 fS Output Voltage Set in Deep Sleep and Deeper Sleep States (Refer to the Functional Diagram) If fS is set at 210kHz, tBOOT = 71µs The output voltage could also be set by external resistors R6 and R4 when DPRSLPVR input is high. This state is defined to be the deeper sleep state. The output voltage is set to VDPRSLPVR, regardless of the VID setting: If fS is set at 550kHz, tBOOT = 27µs RUN/SS VVID STP% = – R3 • 100% R3 +R4 By using different R4 resistors, STP_CPUB offset can be programmed. 1.5V VBOOT VDPRSLPVR = 0.6V • R2 • (R3 +R6||R4) (R6||R4) • (R1+R2) By using different value R6 resistors, VDPRSLPVR can be programmed. VOUT 90% VBOOT (The digital input threshold voltage is set to 1.8V for STP_CPUB, DPRSLPVR and MCH_PG inputs.) INTERNAL PG (OUTPUT OF INTERNAL POWER GOOD COMPARATOR) Power Good Masking The PGOOD output monitors VOUT. When VOUT is not within ±10% of the set point, PGOOD is pulled low with an internal MOSFET. When VOUT is within the regulation window, PGOOD is high impedance. PGOOD should be pulled up by an external resistor. MCH_PG COMPOSITE PG (=(INTERNAL PG) AND (MCH_PG)) tBOOT MD VID BITS The output voltage can be offset by the STP_CPUB signal. When STP_CPUB becomes low, the output voltage will be a certain percentage lower than that set by the VID bits in Table 2. This state is defined to be the deep sleep state. Referring to the Functional Diagram, we can caluculate the STP_CPUB offset to be: VALID INVALID TIME 3735 F07 During VID changes, deep sleep and deeper sleep transitions, the output voltage can initially be out of the ±10% window of the newly set regulation point. To avoid nuisance indications from PGOOD, a timer masks PGOOD for 110µs. If VOUT is still out of regulation after this blanking time, PGOOD goes low. Any overvoltage or undervoltage condition is also masked for 110µs before it is reported by PGOOD. Figure 7. Start-Up Timing Diagram 3735fa 19 LTC3735 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The masking circuitry also adaptively tracks VID and state changes. If a new change in VID or state happens before the 110µs masking timer expires, the timer resets and starts a fresh count of 110µs. This prevents the system from rebooting under frequent output voltage transitions. Refer to Figure 8 for the PGOOD timing diagram. begins discharging on the assumption that the output is in an overcurrent condition. If the condition lasts for a long enough period as determined by the size of the CSS, the controller will be shut down until the RUN/SS pin voltage is recycled. If the overload occurs during start-up, the time can be approximated by: During start-up, PGOOD is actively pulled low until the RUN/ SS pin voltage reaches its arming voltage, which is 4.2V typically, only then is the PGOOD pull-low signal released. When RUN/SS goes low, PGOOD goes low simultaneously. tLO1 ≈ (CSS • 0.7V)/(1.5µA) = 4.6 • 105 (CSS) If the overload occurs after start-up, the voltage on CSS will continue charging and will provide additional time before latching off: tLO2 ≈ (CSS • 2V)/(1.5µA) = 1.3 • 106 (CSS) VID BITS This built-in overcurrent latchoff can be overridden by providing a pull-up resistor, RSS, to the RUN/SS pin as shown in Figure 6. This resistance shortens the softstart period and prevents the discharge of the RUN/SS capacitor during a severe overcurrent and/or short-circuit condition. When deriving the 5µA current from PVCC as in the figure, current latchoff is always defeated. VOUT INTERNAL PG (OUTPUT OF INTERNAL POWER GOOD COMPARATOR) PGOOD MASKING 110µs 110µs PGOOD TIME 3735 F08 Figure 8. PGOOD Timing Diagram Fault Conditions: Overcurrent Latchoff The RUN/SS pin also provides the ability to latch off the controller when an overcurrent condition is detected. The RUN/SS capacitor, CSS, is used initially to limit the inrush current. After the controller has been started and been given adequate time to charge up the output capacitors and provide full load current, the RUN/SS capacitor is used for a short-circuit timer. If the output voltage falls to less than 70% of its nominal value after CSS reaches 4.2V, CSS Why should you defeat current latchoff? During the prototyping stage of a design, there may be a problem with noise pickup or poor layout causing the protection circuit to latch off the controller. Defeating this feature allows troubleshooting of the circuit and PC layout. The internal short-circuit and foldback current limiting still remains active, thereby protecting the power supply system from failure. A decision can be made after the design is complete whether to rely solely on foldback current limiting or to enable the latchoff feature by removing the pull-up resistor. The value of the soft-start capacitor CSS may need to be scaled with output voltage, output capacitance and load current characteristics. The minimum soft-start capacitance is given by: CSS > (COUT )(VOUT)(10-4)(RSENSE) A recommended soft-start capacitor of CSS = 0.1µF will be sufficient for most applications. 3735fa 20 LTC3735 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Minimum On-Time Considerations Minimum on-time, tON(MIN), is the smallest time duration that the LTC3735 is capable of turning on the top MOSFET. It is determined by internal timing delays and the gate charge required to turn on the top MOSFET. Low duty cycle applications may approach this minimum on-time limit and care should be taken to ensure that: tON (MIN ) < VOUT VIN ( f ) If the duty cycle falls below what can be accommodated by the minimum on-time, the LTC3735 will begin to skip cycles resulting in variable frequency operation. The output voltage will continue to be regulated, but the ripple current and ripple voltage will increase. AVP ≅ –35.5 • V if gm •R3 > 10 • OUT 0.6V (9) where RSENSE is the current sense resistor, m is the number of phases, (m = 2 for LTC3735) R3 and RAVP are defined in Figure 9. gm is the transconductance gain for the error amplifier, it is about 4.5mmho for LTC3735. Rewriting Equation 9 we can estimate the AVP resistor to be: R AVP ≅ 35.5 •R3 •RSENSE m•| AVP| (10) VOUT+ R3 The minimum on-time for the LTC3735 is generally less than 150ns. However, as the peak sense voltage decreases, the minimum on-time gradually increases. This is of particular concern in forced continuous applications with low ripple current at light loads. If the duty cycle drops below the minimum on-time limit in this situation, a significant amount of cycle skipping can occur with correspondingly larger ripple current and ripple voltage. RAVP VOA+ R2 + VOA– OAOUT – R1 If an application can operate close to the minimum on-time limit, an inductor must be chosen that has a low enough inductance to provide sufficient ripple amplitude to meet the minimum on-time requirement. As a general rule, keep the inductor ripple current of each phase equal to or greater than 15% of IOUT(MAX) at VIN(MAX). FB – VID 0.6V ITH + 3735 F09 Figure 9. Simplified Schematic Diagram for AVP Design in LTC3735 Active Voltage Positioning Active voltage positioning can be used to minimize peak-topeak output voltage excursion under worst-case transient loading conditions. The open-loop DC gain of the control loop is reduced depending upon the maximum load step specifications. Active voltage positioning can easily be added to the LTC3735. Figure 9 shows the equivalent circuit for implementing AVP. The load line slope is estimated to be: RSENSE R3 • , m R AVP We also adopt the current sense resistors as part of voltage positioning slopes. So the total load line slope is estimated to be: AVP ≅ –35.5 • RSENSE R3 RSENSE • – , m R AVP m V if gm •R3 >> OUT 0.6V (11) 3735fa 21 LTC3735 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Rewriting this equation, we can estimate the RAVP value to be: R AVP≅ 35.5 •R3 m •| AVP| –1 RSENSE (12) Typically the calculation results based on these equations have ±10% tolerance. So the resistor values need to be fine tuned. Efficiency Considerations The percent efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to the output power divided by the input power times 100%. It is often useful to analyze individual losses to determine what is limiting the efficiency and which change would produce the most improvement. Percent efficiency can be expressed as: %Efficiency = 100% – (L1 + L2 + L3 + ...) where L1, L2, etc. are the individual losses as a percentage of input power. Although all dissipative elements in the circuit produce losses, four main sources usually account for most of the losses in LTC3735 circuits: 1) I2R losses, 2) Topside MOSFET transition losses, 3) PVCC supply current and 4) CIN loss. 1) I2R losses are predicted from the DC resistances of the fuse (if used), MOSFET, inductor, and current sense resistor. In continuous mode the average output current flows through L and RSENSE, but is “chopped” between the topside MOSFET and the synchronous MOSFET. If the two MOSFETs have approximately the same RDS(ON), then the resistance of one MOSFET can simply be summed with the resistances of L, RSENSE and ESR to obtain I2R losses. For example, if each RDS(ON) = 10mΩ, RL = 10mΩ, and RSENSE = ­5mΩ, then the total resistance is 25mΩ. This results in losses ranging from 2% to 8% as the output current increases from 3A to 15A per output stage for a 5V output, or a 3% to 12% loss per output stage for a 3.3V output. Efficiency varies as the inverse square of VOUT for the same external components and output power level. The combined effects of increasingly lower output voltages and higher currents required by high performance digital systems is not doubling but quadrupling the importance of loss terms in the switching regulator system! 2) Transition losses apply only to the topside MOSFET(s), and are significant only when operating at high input voltages (typically 12V or greater). Transition losses can be estimated from: Transition Loss = per Phase 2 VIN •IOUT 4 • f • CRSS • R DR •   1 1 +    VDR – VTH(MIN) VTH(MIN)  3) PVCC drives both top and bottom MOSFETs. The MOSFET driver current results from switching the gate capacitance of the power MOSFETs. Each time a MOSFET gate is switched from low to high to low again, a packet of charge dQ moves from PVCC to ground. The resulting dQ/dt is a current out of PVCC that is typically much larger than the control circuit current. In continuous mode, IGATECHG = (QT + QB)f, where QT and QB are the gate charges of the topside and bottom side MOSFETs and f is the switching frequency. 4) The input capacitor has the difficult job of filtering the large RMS input current to the regulator. It must have a very low ESR to minimize the AC I2R loss and sufficient capacitance to prevent the RMS current from causing additional upstream losses in fuses or batteries. The LTC3735 2-phase architecture typically halves the input and output capacitor requirements over 1-phase solutions. Other losses, including COUT ESR loss, Schottky diode conduction loss during dead time, inductor core loss and internal control circuitry supply current generally account for less than 2% additional loss. Checking Transient Response The regulator loop response can be checked by looking at the load transient response. Switching regulators take several cycles to respond to a step in DC (resistive) 3735fa 22 LTC3735 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION load current. When a load step occurs, VOUT shifts by an amount equal to ∆ILOAD(ESR), where ESR is the effective series resistance of COUT. ∆ILOAD also begins to charge or discharge COUT generating the feedback error signal that forces the regulator to adapt to the current change and return VOUT to its steady-state value. During this recovery time VOUT can be monitored for excessive overshoot or ringing, which would indicate a stability problem. The availability of the ITH pin not only allows optimization of control loop behavior but also provides a DC coupled and AC filtered closed loop response test point. The DC step, rise time, and settling at this test point truly reflects the closed loop response. Assuming a predominantly second order system, phase margin and/or damping factor can be estimated using the percentage of overshoot seen at this pin. The bandwidth can also be estimated by examining the rise time at the pin. The ITH external components shown in the Figure 1 circuit will provide an adequate starting point for most applications. The ITH series RC-CC filter sets the dominant pole-zero loop compensation. The values can be modified slightly (from 0.2 to 5 times their suggested values) to optimize transient response once the final PC layout is done and the particular output capacitor type and value have been determined. The output capacitors need to be decided upon first because the various types and values determine the loop gain and phase. An output current pulse of 20% to 80% of full-load current having a rise time of
