As load current, IL , increases the voltage drop in the wiring (IL • RW) increases and the voltage delivered to the system (VL) drops. The traditional approach to solving this problem, remote sensing, regulates the voltage at the load, increasing the power supply voltage (VOUT) to compensate for voltage drops in the wiring. While remote sensing works well, it does require an additional pair of wires to measure at the load, which may not always be practical. The LT4180 eliminates the need for a pair of remote sense wires by creating a Virtual Remote Sense. Virtual remote sensing is achieved by measuring the incremental change in voltage that occurs with an incremental change in current in the wiring (Figure 2). This measurement can then be used to infer the total DC voltage drop in the wiring, which can then be compensated for. The Virtual Remote Sense takes over control of the power supply via the feedback IL POWER SUPPLY RW pin (VFB) of the power supply maintaining tight regulation of load voltage, VL. Figure 3 shows the timing diagram for virtual remote sensing (VRS). A new cycle begins when the power supply and VRS close the loop around VOUT (regulate VOUT = H). Both VOUT and IOUT slew and settle to a new value, and these values are stored in the Virtual Remote Sense (track VOUT high = L and track IOUT = L). The VOUT feedback loop is opened and a new feedback loop is set up commanding the power supply to deliver 90% of the previously measured current (0.9IOUT). VOUT drops to a new value as the power supply reaches a new steady state, and this information is also stored in the Virtual Remote Sense. At this point, the change in output voltage (ΔVOUT) for a –10% change in output current has been measured and is stored in the Virtual Remote Sense. This voltage is used during the next VRS cycle to compensate for voltage drops due to wiring resistance.

Simplified Timing Diagram, Virtual Remote Sense 4180fp 7 LT4180 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION INTRODUCTION The LT4180 is designed to interface with a variety of power supplies and regulators having either an external feedback or control pin. In Figure 4, the regulator error amplifier (which is a gm amplifier) is disabled by tying its inverting input to ground. This converts the error amplifier into a constant-current source which is then controlled by the drain pin of the LT4180. This is the preferred method of interfacing because it eliminates the regulator error amplifier from the control loop which simplifies compensation and provides best control loop response. REGULATOR LT4180 DESIGN PROCEDURE The first step in the design procedure is to determine whether the LT4180 will control a linear or switching supply/regulator. If using a switching power supply or regulator, it is recommended that the supply be synchronized to the LT4180 by connecting the OSC pin to the SYNC pin (or equivalent) of the supply. If the power supply is synchronized to the LT4180, the power supply switching frequency is determined by: 4 fOSC = ROSC • COSC Recommended values for ROSC are between 20k and 100k (with 30.1k the optimum for best accuracy) and greater than 100pF for COSC. COSC may be reduced to as low as 50pF but oscillator frequency accuracy will be somewhat , degraded. The following example synchronizes a 250kHz switching power supply to the LT4180. In this example, start with ROSC = 30.1k: COSC = 4 = 531pF 250kHz • 30 . 1k + – ITH OR VC DRAIN 4180 F04 Figure 4. Nonisolated Regulator Interface For proper operation, increasing control voltage should correspond to increasing regulator output. For example, in the case of a current mode switching power supply, the control pin ITH should produce higher peak currents as the ITH pin voltage is made more positive. Isolated power supplies and regulators may also be used by adding an opto-coupler (Figure 5). LT4180 output voltage INTVCC supplies power to the opto-coupler LED. In situations where the control pin VC of the regulator may exceed 5V, a cascode may be added to keep the DRAIN pin of the LT4180 below 5V (Figure 6). Use a Low VT MOSFET for the cascode transistor. REGULATOR INTVCC LT4180 This example uses 470pF For 250kHz: . ROSC = 4 = 34 . 04k 250kHz • 470pF The closest standard 1% value is 34k. The next step is to determine the highest practical dither frequency. This may be limited either by the response time of the power supply or regulator, or by the propagation time of the wiring connecting the load to the power supply or regulator.

Cascoded DRAIN Pin for Isolated Supplies 4180fp 8 LT4180 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION First determine the settling time (to 1% of final value) of the power supply. The settling time should be the worst-case value (over the whole operating envelope: VIN, ILOAD, etc.). 1 F1 = Hz 2 • t SETTLING For example, if the power supply takes 1ms to settle (worst-case) to within 1% of final value: F1 = 1 = 500Hz 2 • 1e – 3 Continuing this example, the dither frequency should be less than 500Hz (limited by the power supply). With the dither frequency known, the division ratio can be determined: f 250, 000 DRATIO = OSC = = 500 500 fDITHER The nearest division ratio is 512 (set DIV0 = L, DIV1 = DIV2 = H). Based on this division ratio, nominal dither frequency will be: f 250, 000 f DITHER = OSC = = 488 Hz 512 DRATIO After the dither frequency is determined, the minimum load decoupling capacitor can be determined. This load capacitor must be sufficiently large to filter out the dither signal at the load. 2.2 CLOAD = R WIRE • 2 • f DITHER Where CLOAD is the minimum load decoupling capacitance, RWIRE is the minimum wiring resistance of one conductor of the wiring pair, and fDITHER is the minimum dither frequency. Continuing the example, our CAT5 cable has a maximum 9.38Ω/100m conductor resistance. Maximum wiring resistance is: RWIRE = 2 • 1000ft • 0.305m/ft • 0.0938Ω/m RWIRE = 57.2Ω Next, determine the propagation time of the wiring. In order to ignore transmission line effects, the dither period should be approximately twenty times longer than this. This will limit dither frequency to: VF F2 = Hz 20 • 1. 017ns /ft • L Where VF is the velocity factor (or velocity of propagation), and L is the length of the wiring (in feet). For example, assume the load is connected to a power supply with 1000ft of CAT5 cable. Nominal velocity of propagation is approximately 70%. F2 = 0.7 = 34 . 4 kHz 20 • 1. 017e – 9 • 1000 The maximum dither frequency should not exceed F1 or F2 (whichever is less): fDITHER < min (F1, F2). 4180fp 9 LT4180 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION With an oscillator tolerance of ±15%, the minimum dither frequency is 414.8Hz, so the minimum decoupling capacitance is: CLOAD = 2.2 = 46 . 36µF 57 . 2 Ω • 2 • 414 . 8Hz is observed, decrease the value of the resistor until it just disappears. If overshoot or ringing is not observed, increase the value of the resistor until it is observed, then slightly decrease the value of the resistor so that overshoot and ringing disappear. Check for proper voltage drop correction and converter behavior (start-up, regulation etc.), over the load range, and repeat the above procedure with a smaller value of the compensation capacitor, if necessary. Decrease CHOLD4 capacitance until VOUT exhibits slight low frequency instability, then increase CHOLD4 slightly from this value. Setting Output Voltage, Undervoltage and Overvoltage Thresholds The RUN pin has accurate rising and falling thresholds which may be used to determine when Virtual Remote Sense operation begins. Undervoltage threshold should never be set lower than the minimum operating voltage of the LT4180 (3.1V). The overvoltage threshold should be set slightly greater than the highest voltage which will be produced by the power supply or regulator: VOUT(MAX) = VLOAD(MAX) + VWIRE(MAX) VOUT(MAX) should never exceed 1.5 • VLOAD Since the RUN and OV pins connect to MOSFET input comparators, input bias currents are negligible and a common voltage divider can be used to set both thresholds (Figure 7). VIN R1 LT4180 RUN This is the minimum value. Select a nominal value to account for all factors which could reduce the nominal, such as initial tolerance, voltage and temperature coefficients and aging. CHOLD Capacitor Selection and Compensation With dither frequency determined, use the following equations to determine CHOLD values: 11 . 9nF CHOLD1 = fDITHER (kHz) and CHOLD2 = CHOLD3 = 2 . 5nF fDITHER (kHz) So, with a dither frequency of 488Hz: CHOLD1 = and CHOLD2 = CHOLD3 = 2 . 5nF = 5 . 12nF 0 . 488(kHz) 11 . 9nF = 24 . 4nF 0 . 488kHz NPO ceramic or other capacitors with low leakage and dielectric absorption should be used for all hold capacitors. . Set CHOLD4 to 1μF Start with a 47pF capacitor between the COMP and DRAIN pins of the LT4180. Add an RC network in parallel with the 47pF capacitor. 10k and 10nF are good starting values. Connect a DC load corresponding to full-scale load current and verify that VOUT produces a rounded squarewave without any noticeable overshoot or ringing (similar to the VOUT waveform in Figure 3). If overshoot or ringing R2 FB R3 OV R4 4180 F07 Figure 7.

Find the equivalent series resistance for R2 and R3 (RSERIES). This resistance will determine the RUN voltage level. ⎛ 1 . 22 • R T ⎞ RSERIES = ⎜ ⎟ − R4 ⎝ VUVL ⎠ R1 = R T − RSERIES − R4 ⎛ R4 ⎞ 1 . 22 V − ⎜ VOUT(NOM) • RT ⎟ ⎝ ⎠ R3 = VOUT(NOM) RT R2 = RSERIES − R3 Where VUVL is the RUN voltage and VOUT(NOM) is the nominal output voltage desired. , , For example, with VUVL = 4V VOV = 7.5V and VOUT(NOM) = 5V RT = R4 = 7 . 5V = 37 . 5 k 200μA 1 . 22V = 6 . 1k 200 μA RSENSE SELECTION Select the value of RSENSE so that it produces a 100mV voltage drop at maximum load current. For best accuracy, VIN and SENSE should be Kelvin connected to this resistor. Soft-Correct Operation The LT4180 has a soft-correct function which insures orderly start-up. When the RUN pin rising threshold is first exceeded (indicating VIN has crossed its undervoltage lockout threshold), power supply output voltage is set to a value corresponding to zero wiring voltage drop (no correction for wiring). Over a period of time (determined by CHOLD4), the power supply output voltage ramps up to account for wiring voltage drops, providing best load-end voltage regulation. A new soft-correct cycle is also initiated whenever an overvoltage condition occurs. 5V POWER SUPPLY OUTPUT VOLTAGE 10Vw POWER SUPPLY INPUT VOLTAGE 4180 F08 200ms/DIV Figure 8.

For best accuracy, all leakage sources on the CHOLD pins should be minimized. At very low dither frequencies, the circuit board layout may include guard rings which should be tied to their respective guard ring drivers. To better understand the purpose of guard rings, a simplified model of hold capacitor leakage (with and without guard rings) is shown in Figure 9. Without guard rings, a large difference voltage may exist between the hold capacitor (Pin 1) node and adjacent conductors (Pin 2) producing substantial leakage current through the leakage resistance (RLKG). By adding a guard ring driver with approximately the same voltage as the voltage on the hold capacitor node, the difference voltage across RLKG1 is reduced substantially thereby reducing leakage current on the hold capacitor. Synchronization Linear and switching power supplies and regulators may be used with the LT4180. In most applications regulator interference should be negligible. For those applications where accurate control of interference spectrum is desirable, an oscillator output has been provided so that RLKG switching supplies may be synchronized to the LT4180 (Figure 10). The OSC pin was designed so that it may directly connect to most regulators, or drive opto-isolators (for isolated power supplies). Spread Spectrum Operation Virtual remote sensing relies on sampling techniques. Because switching power supplies are commonly used, the LT4180 uses a variety of techniques to minimize potential interference (in the form of beat notes which may occur between the dither frequency and power supply switching frequency). Besides several types of internal filtering, and the option for VRS/power supply synchronization, the LT4180 also provides spread spectrum operation. By enabling spread spectrum operation, low modulation index pseudo-random phasing is applied to Virtual Remote Sense timing. This has the effect of converting any remaining narrow-band interference into broadband noise, reducing its effect. Increasing Voltage Correction Range Correction range may be slightly improved by regulating INTVCC to 5V. This may be done by placing an LDO between VIN and INTVCC.
