NOTES:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) Measured by using differential oscilloscope probe.
3) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature TJ (MAX), the junction-toambient thermal resistance θJA, and the ambient temperature
TA. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by PD (MAX) = (TJ
(MAX)-TA)/θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation produces an excessive die temperature, causing
the regulator to go into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal
shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent
damage.
4) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operating conditions.
5) Measured on EVM3695-25-RF-02A Demo Board 6-LAYERS

MPM3695-25 – 16V, 20A, SCALABLE, DC/DC POWER MODULE WITH PMBUS
OPERATION
The MPM3695-25 is a fully integrated power
solution with up to 25A output current in a
10x12x4mm QFN package. For applications
that require more than 25A, the MPM3695-25
can be connected in parallel to provide a higher
output current. The MPM3695-25 employs
constant-on-time (COT) control to provide fast
transient response. The internal ramp
compensation guarantees stable operation for
applications using zero-ESR ceramic output
capacitors.
Multi-Phase Operation
In a multi-phase configuration, one master
phase and up to five slave phases are
connected in parallel. The output current is
shared equally among all phases. The typical
application circuit illustrates four MPM3695-25s
in a multi-phase configuration. The TAKE pin of
the master phase is required to be pulled up to
a voltage source through a resistor. The
MPM3695-25
detects
its
master/slave
configuration by monitoring the state of the
TAKE pin during start-up. The PASS and
TAKE pins of all phases are connected in a
cascaded manner (See Typical Application
circuit). The PASS pin of the last slave-phase is
connected back to the TAKE pin of the master
phase.
MCOT Operation-Master Phase
A master phase performs the
functions:
following
Accepts both write and read commands
through PMBus from a host
Generates the SET signal
Manages the start-up, shut-off, and all the
protections
Monitors fault alerts from the slave phases
through the PG pin
Generates the first ON pulse
Generates the ON pulse when receiving
RUN and SET signals
Dynamically adjusts its on-time to ensure
equal current sharing
MCOT Operation-Slave Phases
The master phase performs the following
functions:
Accepts write commands through PMBus
from a host
Receives the SET signal from a master
Sends an OV/UV/OT fault alert to a master
phase through the PG pin
Starts the ON pulse when receiving RUN
and SET signals
Dynamically adjusts its on-time to ensure
equal current sharing with its own phase
based on the per-phase and total current
Generates the PASS signal
Figure 1 illustrates MCOT operation. At t0, a
SET pulse is generated by the master phase
when (VFB+RAMP) drops below the reference
level (VCOMP). All the phases receive this SET
signal, but only the phase (the MASTER) that
has an active RUN signal will take action, so
the MASTER turns on the High-Side-FET (HSFET). Meanwhile, it generates a fixed widthpulse on the PASS pin, and passes it to the
TAKE pin of SLAVE1.
At t1, the falling edge of the TAKE pin of
SLAVE1 activates the RUN signal. This enables
the SLAVE1 to wait for the SET signal to turn
on its HS-FET.
At t2, the ON time of the PWM signal of the
MASTER phase expires and the HS-FET is
turned off. The ON time of the PWM signal is
fixed for any given input voltage, output voltage
and switching frequency. The ON time of each
phase is fine-tuned based on the per phase and
the total current to ensure equal current sharing
among phases.
At t3, the (VFB+RAMP) drops below the
reference level (VCOMP) in the MASTER
phase again, only SLAVE1 has an active RUN
signal, so it turns on its HS-FET. All other
phases ignore this SET signal. Meanwhile, the
SLAVE1 generates a pulse with fixed width on
the PASS pin, and passes it to the TAKE pin of
SLAVE2.
Generates the PASS signal

MPM3695-25 – 16V, 20A, SCALABLE, DC/DC POWER MODULE WITH PMBUS
The MPM3695-25 keeps above operation and
each phase turns on its HS-FET one by one for
a fixed ON time. The operation is similar to a
relay race and the RUN signal is like the baton.
The relay is carried on through the PASS/TAKE
loop. Only the phase that has the baton (RUN
signal) will turn on the HS-FET when the SET
signal is ready.
The MPM3695-25 benefits from MCOT control
to achieve extremely fast load transient
response. The SET signal is generated more
frequently during a load transient compared to
steady state (See Figure 2). Consequently,
energy is delivered to the load at a higher rate,
which minimizes the output deviation during a
load transient event. With the MPM3695-25, the
SET pulses are generated with a minimum
50ns interval, i.e., the next phase can be turned
on as fast as 50ns after the turn-on of the
previous phase.
RAMP Compensation
The MPM3695-25 guarantees stable operation
with zero-ESR ceramic output capacitors by
using internal RAMP compensation. A
triangular RAMP signal is generated internally
and is superimposed on the FB signal. The
triangular RAMP signal starts to rise once
RAMP+FB drops below the REF signal, and a
SET pulse is generated. The rise time of the
RAMP signal is fixed. The amplitude of the
RAMP compensation is selectable through the
PMBus command of D0h[3:1] to support wide
operation configurations. There is a trade-off
between the stability and load transient
response. A larger RAMP signal provides
higher stability but a slower load transient
response and vice versa. Consequently, it is
necessary to optimize the RAMP compensation
selection based on the design criteria for each
application.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Vo,min
Operation Mode Selection
The MPM3695-25 provides both forced CCM
and pulse skip operations in a light-load
condition. Four switching frequencies are
available for the MPM3695-25. The selection of
operation mode in a light-load condition and the
switching frequency is done through the PMBus.
Output Voltage Setting
A feedback resistor divider is required to set the
proper feedback gain. The values of the
feedback resistors are determined using
equation 1:
R 2 (k )
0.6
R1(k )
VO 0.6
(1)
where Vo is the output voltage. The output
voltage feedback gain is determined with
equation 2:
GFB
R2
R1 R 2
(2)
To optimize the load transient response, a feedforward capacitor (CFF) is required to be placed
in parallel with R1. Table 1 lists the values of
the feedback resistors and the feedforward
capacitor for common output voltages.

The MPM3695-25 offers output voltage
programmability through PMBus. In addition,
the output voltage can be adjusted within a
certain range through PMBus by adjusting the
internal reference voltage of the PMW controller
(VREF). The reference voltage, which has a
default value of 0.6V, can be adjusted between
0.5V to 0.672V. For a given feedback resistor
network, the upper and lower limits of the
output voltage are determined with equation 3a
and equation 3b:
Vo,max
0.672
GFB
0.5
GFB
(3b)
Two steps need to be followed to program the
output voltage through PMBus:
1. Write GFB value determined by Equation 2
to register VOUT_SCALE_LOOP (29h)
2. Write the output voltage command to
register VOUT_COMMAND (21h)
VREF is updated automatically based on the
output voltage command and GFB
Output voltage monitoring through PMBus is
enabled
by
setting
the
register
VOUT_SCALE_LOOP (29h) with a value that
matches the GFB calculated with Equation 2.
For applications where a PMBus interface is not
required, VREF=0.6V is used by default, and the
MPM3695-25 operates in analog mode. The
feedback resistors should be determined based
on Equation 1.
Soft Start
The soft start (SS) time can be programmed
through PMBus. The default SS time is 2ms.
Pre-Bias Start-Up
The MPM3695-25 is designed for monotonic
startup into pre-biased loads. If the output
voltage is pre-biased to a certain voltage during
startup, both the high-side and low-side
switches are disabled until the internal
reference voltage exceeds the sensed output
voltage at the FB pin.
Output Voltage Discharge
The output voltage discharge mode will be
enabled if the MPM3695-25 is disabled through
the CTRL pin. In such a case, both the highside and low-side switches are latched off. A
discharge FET connected between SW and
GND is turned on to discharge the output
capacitor. A typical on-resistance of the
discharge FET is 60Ω. Once the FB voltage
drops below 10% of the reference output
voltage, the discharge FET is turned off.
This feature can be enabled or disabled through
the MFR_CTRL_VOUT (D1h) command.

MPM3695-25 – 16V, 20A, SCALABLE, DC/DC POWER MODULE WITH PMBUS
Current Sense and Over-Current Protection
(OCP)
The MPM3695-25 features on-die current
sense and a programmable positive current
limit threshold.
The MPM3695-25 provides both inductor valley
current limits (set by register D7h).
Inductor
(D7h)
Valley
Over-Current
Protection
During the LS-FET ON state, the inductor
current is sensed and monitored cycle-by-cycle.
The HS-FET will only be allowed to turn ON if
over-current is not detected during the LS-FET
ON-state. If there are 31 consecutive cycles of
an OC condition detected, OCP is triggered.
During an over-current condition or output
short-circuit condition, if the output voltage
drops below the under-voltage protection (UVP)
threshold, the MPM3695-25 enters OCP
immediately.
Once OCP is triggered, it either enters HICCUP
mode or latch-off mode, depending on the
register. It should be noted that a power-recycle
of the Vcc or CTRL is required to re-enable the
MPM3695-25 once it latches-off.
The inductor valley over-current limit can be
programmed through register D7h, which sets
the per-phase inductor valley current limit for
both single and multi-phase operation.
Negative Inductor Current limit
When the LS-FET detects a negative current
lower than the limit set through register D5h[2],
the part will turn off its LS-FET for a period of
time to limit the negative current. The period is
set through register D5h[3].
Under -Voltage Protection (UVP)
The MPM3695-25 monitors the output voltage
through the FB pin to detect an under-voltage
condition. If the FB voltage drops below the
UVP
threshold
(set
through
register
VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT),
the
UVP
is
triggered. After UVP is triggered, the
MPM3695-25 enters either HICCUP or latch-off
mode, depending on the PMBus selection.
Please note that a power-recycle of the Vcc or
CTRL is required to re-enable the MPM3695-25
once it latches off.
Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
The MPM3695-25 monitors the output voltage
using the FB pin connected to the tap of a
resistor divider to detect an over-voltage
condition. Please refer to the register
VOUT_OV_FAULT_RESPONSE section for
additional information on OVP.
Output Sinking Mode (OSM)
The MPM3695-25 enters the OSM when the
output voltage is more than 5% higher than the
reference and below the OVP threshold. Once
the OSM is triggered, the MPM3695-25 runs in
forced CCM. The MPM3695-25 exits OSM
mode when the HS-FET turns back on.
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
The MPM3695-25 monitors the junction
temperature. If the junction temperature
exceeds the threshold value (set by register
OT_FAULT_LIMIT), the converter enters either
HICCUP or latch-off mode depending on the
PMBus selection. Please note that a powerrecycle of the Vcc or CTRL is required to reenable the MPM3695-25 once it latches off.
Power Good (PG)
The MPM3695-25 has an open-drain powergood (PG) output. The PG pin can be
configured as an output only or input and output
pin by bit [0] of register MRF_CTRL_COMP
(D0h). For single-phase configuration, the PG
pin should be configured as output only. For
multi-phase operation, the PG pin should be
configured as an input and output pin to detect
faults from the slave phases. The PG pin must
be pulled high, to VCC or a voltage source, with
less than 3.6V through a pull-up resistor
(typically 100kΩ).
PG is pulled low initially once input voltage is
applied to the MPM3695-25. After the FB
voltage reaches the threshold set by register
POWER_GOOD_ON, the PG pin is pulled high
after
a
delay
set
by
the
register
MFR_CTRL_VOUT.
PG is latched low if any fault occurs, and the
relevant protection feature is triggered (e.g., UV,
OV, OT, UVLO, etc.). After the PG is latched
low, it cannot be pulled high again unless a new
soft-start
is
initialized.

MPM3695-25 – 16V, 20A, SCALABLE, DC/DC POWER MODULE WITH PMBUS
If the input supply fails to power the MPM369525, the PG is latched low. The relationship
between the PG voltage and the pull-up current
is shown in Figure 3.

Output Capacitor
The output capacitor maintains the DC output
voltage. Use ceramic capacitors or POSCAPs.
Estimate the output voltage ripple using

Input Capacitor
The input current to a buck converter is
discontinuous, and therefore, requires a
capacitor to supply the AC current to the stepdown module while maintaining the DC input
voltage. Use ceramic capacitors for the best
performance. During layout, place the input
capacitors as close to the IN pin as possible.
The capacitance can vary significantly with
temperature. Use capacitors with X5R and X7R
ceramic dielectrics, because they are fairly
stable over a wide temperature range.
The capacitors must also have a ripple current
rating that exceeds the converter’s maximum
input ripple current. Estimate the input ripple
current using equation 4:

When
using

capacitors,
the
capacitance dominates the impedance at the

dominates the output voltage ripple. For

using equation 9:

The ESR dominates the switching-frequency
impedance for POSCAPs, so the output voltage
ripple is determined by the ESR value.
For simplification, the output ripple can be
approximated using equation 10:

For simplification, choose an input capacitor
with an RMS current rating that exceeds half
the maximum load current.
The input capacitance value determines the
converter input voltage ripple. Select a
capacitor value that meets any input voltage
ripple requirements.

PCB Layout Guidelines
PCB layout plays an important role to achieve
stable operation. For optimal performance,
follow the guidelines below:
1. Place the input ceramic capacitors as close
to the VIN and PGND pins as possible on
the same layer of the MPM3695-25.
Maximize the VIN and PGND copper plane
to minimize the parasitic impedance.
2. Place VIN vias at least 1cm from the part to
minimize noise coupling from input
pulsating current.
3. Connect AGND to a solid ground plane
through a single point.
4. Place sufficient output GND vias close to
the GND pins to minimize both parasitic
impedance and thermal resistance.
5. Keep the ISUM trace as short as possible.
The ISUM trace should be away from the
VIN copper in a multi-phase configuration.
Vias should be avoided whenever possible.
6. The keep-out area must be kept clean.
Signal traces should avoid the area directly
beneath the SW pad unless a PGND layer is
used to provide shielding.
