OPERATION
The MP86963 is a 20A Monolithic Half Bridge
driver with MOSFETs ideally suited for single/multi-phase Buck regulators.
Once the EN, VIN, VCCIO, VCC and VBST signals
are sufficiently high, operation begins. BST
voltage has a typical rising UVLO of 2.2V and a
falling UVLO of 2.0V. When BST is below the
UVLO voltage, the device will be off.
MP86963 can work with most PWM controllers.
The device accepts PWM signal from 100kHz up
to 1MHz. There is an internal resistor divider to
put PWM voltage to tri-state region if the PWM
pin is open.
3) The recommended external BST cap is 100nF.
Do not use a capacitance value lower than
100nF. Place a 1.0Ω resistor between the BST
capacitor and BST pin for optimized
performance.
4) Do not place via on the pad or on the pin
footprint. Doing so may cause soldering issue
during the assembling process. Use Figure 3 as
a via placement reference.
5) Connect IN, SW and GND to large copper
area and use vias to cool the chip to improve
thermal performance and long-term reliability.
See Figure 4 as an example.
Internally, SYNC is tied to VCC through a resistor.
By default, the device will operate in synchronous
mode. To enter Diode Emulation mode, drive
SYNC pin LOW.
Startup and Shutdown Sequence
MP86963 can work with any startup or shutdown
sequencing combination of VIN, VCC, VCCIO and
EN. If PWM signal is present, the MP86963 will
start working whenever VIN, VCC, VCCIO and EN
are ready. On the other hand, if any of these
signals is not ready, the MP86963 will stop
working. However, it is recommended to turn on
and turn off the device through the EN pin.
PCB Layout Guideline
PCB layout is very important to achieve stable
operation. Please follow these guidelines to
achieve optimal performance.
1) Keep the path of switching current short and
minimize the loop area formed by input capacitor.
Keep the connection between SW pin and input
power ground as short and wide as possible.
2) Always place some input bypass ceramic
capacitors next to the device and on the same
layer as the device. Do not put all of the input
bypass capacitors on the back side of the device.
Use as many vias and input voltage planes as
possible to reduce the switching spike. BST
capacitor and VCC capacitor should also be as
close to the device as possible.
Figure 3—Via Placement Guideline
Do not put via on the device’s pad footprint or pin
footprint to avoid assembly issue. Use as many
vias as possible to cool down the device.
6) Place the VCC decouple capacitor close to the
IC. Connect AGND and PGND at the point of
VCC capacitor's ground connection.
