NCV303150
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
With ZCD_EN set high, if PWM falls to less than
VPWM_HI, but stays above VPWM_LO, GL will go high
after the non−overlap delay, and stay high for the duration of
the ZCD Blanking time. Once this timer has elapsed, VSW
will be monitored for zero current, and GL will be pulled low
when zero current is detected.
With ZCD_EN set mid (open), if the PWM goes to low,
GL will go high after the non−overlap delay, and stay high
for the duration of the ZCD Blanking time. Once this timer
has elapsed, VSW will be monitored for zero current, and
GL will be pulled low when zero current is detected.
The SPS NCV303150 is a driver plus MOSFET module
optimized for the synchronous buck converter topology. A
PWM input signal is required to properly drive the high−side
and the low−side MOSFETs. The part is capable of driving
speed up to 1 MHz.
DISB# and UVLO
The SPS NCV303150 is enabled by both DISB# pin input
signal and VCC UVLO. Table 6 summarizes the enable and
disable logics. With DISB# low and VCC UVLO, SPS is
fully shut down. If VCC is ready but DISB# is low, SPS goes
into sleep mode with very low Quiescent current, where only
critical circuitry are alive. The part should also read
fuses/program itself during this state.
PWM
The PWM Input pin is a tri−state input used to control the
HS MOSFET ON/OFF state. It also determines the state of
the LS MOSFET. See Table 7 for logic operation with
ZCD_EN.
There is a minimum PWM pulse width, typical at 37 ns
(SW gate rising 10% to falling 10%), if the PWM input pulse
width is shorter than that, the driver will extend the pulse
width to 37 ns. If the PWM input is shorter than 5 ns, the
driver will ignore it.

NCV303150 needs 40 ms time to go from fully shutdown
mode to power ready mode. The time is 30 ms to go from
partial shutdown mode to power ready mode. Before power
is ready, FAULT pin is strongly pulled low with a 50 W
resistor. As a result, FAULT pin can also be used as a power
ready indicator.
Zero Current Detect Enable Input (ZCD_EN)
The ZCD_EN pin is a logic input pin with an internal
voltage divider connected to VCC.
When ZCD_EN is set low, the NCV303150 will operate
in synchronous rectifier (PWM) mode. This means that
negative current can flow in the LS MOSFET if the load
current is less than 1/2 delta current in the inductor. When
ZCD_EN is set high, Zero Current Detect PWM
(ZCD_PWM) mode will be enabled.

The VIN pins are tied to the system main DC power rail.
The DISB# pin can be tied to the VCC rail with an external
pull−up resistor and it will maintain HIGH once the VCC rail
turns on. Or the DISB# pin can be directly tied to the PWM
controller for other purposes.
The driver IC design ensures minimum MOSFET dead
times, while eliminating potential shoot−through
(cross−conduction) currents. To ensure optimal module
efficiency, body diode conduction times must be reduced to
the low nano−second range during CCM and DCM
operation. Delay circuitry is added to prevent gate overlap
during both the low−side MOSFET off to high−side
MOSFET on transition and the high−side MOSFET off to
low−side MOSFET on transition.
Boot Capacitor Refresh
NCV303150 monitors the low Boot−SW voltage. If
DISB# and VCC are ready, but the voltage across the boot
capacitor voltage is lower than 3.1 V, NCV303150 ignores
the PWM input signal and starts the boot refresh circuit. The
boot refresh circuit turns on the low side MOSFET with a
100 ns~200 ns narrow pulse in every 7~14 ms until
Boot−SW voltage is above 3.6 V.
High−Side Driver
The high−side driver (HDRV) is designed to drive a
floating N−channel MOSFET (Q1). The bias voltage for the
high−side driver is developed by a bootstrap supply circuit,
consisting of the internal Schottky diode and external
bootstrap capacitor (CBOOT). During startup, the SW node
is held at PGND, allowing CBOOT to charge to VCC through
the internal bootstrap diode. When the PWM input goes
HIGH, HDRV begins to charge the gate of the high−side
MOSFET (internal GH pin). During this transition, the
charge is removed from the CBOOT and delivered to the gate
of Q1. As Q1 turns on, SW rises to VIN, forcing the BOOT
pin to VIN + VBOOT, which provides sufficient VGS
enhancement for Q1. To complete the switching cycle, Q1
is turned off by pulling HDRV to SW. CBOOT is then
recharged to VCC when the SW falls to PGND. HDRV
output is in phase with the PWM input. The high−side gate
is held LOW when the driver is disabled or the PWM signal
is held within the 3−state window for longer than the 3−state
hold−off time, tD_HOLD−OFF.
Current Monitor (IMON)
The SPS current monitor accurately senses high−side and
low−side MOSFET currents. The currents are summed
together to replicate the output filter inductor current. The
signal is reported from the SPS module in the form of a
5 mA/A current signal (IIMON−REFIN). The IMON signal
will be referenced to an externally supplied signal (REFIN)
and differentially sensed by an external analog/ digital
PWM controller.
The motivation for the IMON feature is to replace the
industry standard output filter DCR sensing, or output
current sense using an external precision resistor. Both
techniques are lossy and lead to reduced system efficiency.
Inductor DCR sensing is also notoriously inaccurate for low
value DCR inductors. Figure 32 shows a comparison
between conventional inductor DCR sensing and the unique
IMON feature.
The accuracy on IMON signal is ±5% from 10 A to 40 A
output current. For the SPS module, parameters that can
affect IMON accuracy are tightly controlled and trimmed at
the MOSFET/IC production stage. The user can easily
incorporate the IMON feature and accuracy replacing the
traditional current sensing methods in multi−phase
applications.
Low−Side Driver
The low−side driver (LDRV) is designed to drive the
gate−source of a ground referenced low RDS(ON) N−channel
MOSFET (Q2). The bias for LDRV is internally connected
between VCC and PGND. When the driver is enabled, the
driver’s output is 180° out of phase with the PWM input.
When the driver is disabled, LDRV is held LOW.

Fault Flag (FAULT)
temperature. Driver still responds to PWM commands.
Once the IC falls below 125°C, fault flag is cleared
internally by driver IC.
The TMON / FAULT pin on NCV303150 is a thermal
monitor output in normal operation. Before power is ready,
TMON pin is strongly pulled low with a 50 ohm resistor. As
a result, it can be used as a power ready indicator. Also, this
pin is used as a module FAULT flag pin if there is OCP boot
UBLO or OTP.
The TMON pin output is a Proportional to Absolute
Temperature (PTAT) voltage sourced signal referenced to
AGND when no module FAULT is present. It will typically
output 0.6 V at 0°C and 1.8 V at 150°C with 8 mV / °C
typical slope.
TMON pins from multiple SPS modules (used in
multi−phase topologies) can be tied together to share a
common thermal bus. Operating with this configuration will
force the thermal bus signal to report the highest voltage
output TMON signal to the controller (highest temperature).
The TMON output has a low output impedance when
sourcing current and a high output impedance when sinking
current.
The TMON signal reported from the module pin is a
buffered version of an internal TMON signal. Configuring
the SPS module to share a common thermal bus will still
permit each module to safely monitor its own temperature
since the internal TMON signal is unaffected by the
common thermal bus configuration.
An over temperature event is considered catastrophic in
nature. OTW raises fault flag HIGH once it exceeds 140°C
Over−Current Protection (OCP)
The NCV303150 has cycle−by−cycle over−current
protection. If current exceeds the OCP threshold, HS FET is
gated off regardless of PWM command. HS FET cannot be
gated on again until the current is less than the OCP
threshold with a hysteresis.
Fault flag will be pulled HIGH after ten consecutive
cycle−by−cycle OCPs are detected. Fault flag will clear once
OCP is NOT detected. Module never shuts down nor does
it disable HDRV/LDRV (but driver will still truncate HS on
time when PWM=HIGH and ILIM is detected).
Negative−OCP
The NCV303150 can detect large negative inductor
current and protect the low side MOSFET. Once this
Negative current threshold is detected the driver module
takes control and truncates LS on−time pulse (LS FET is
gated off regardless of PWM command). The driver will
stay in this state till one of two things happen 1) 200 ns
expires in which case if the PWM pin is commanding the
driver to turn on LS, the driver will respond and NOCP will
again be monitored 2) PWM commands HS on in which case
the driver will immediately turn on HS regardless of the
200 ns Timer.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Decoupling Capacitor for VCC
be sized properly to not generate excessive heating due to
high power dissipation.
Decoupling capacitor on VCC and BOOT capacitor
should be placed as close as possible to the VCC ~ AGND
and BOOT ~ PHASE pin pairs to ensure clean and stable
power supply. Their routing traces should be wide and short
to minimize parasitic PCB resistance and inductance.
The board layout should include a placeholder for
small−value series boot resistor on BOOT ~ PHASE. The
boot−loop size, including series RBOOT and CBOOT, should
be as small as possible.
A boot resistor may be required and it is effective to
control the high−side MOSFET turn−on slew rate and SW
voltage overshoot. RBOOT can improve noise operating
margin in synchronous buck designs that may have noise
issues due to ground bounce or high positive and negative
VSW ringing. Inserting a boot resistance lowers the SPS
module efficiency. Efficiency versus switching noise must
be considered. RBOOT values from 0.5 W to 6.0 W are
typically effective in reducing VSW overshoot.
The VIN and PGND pins handle large current transients
with frequency components greater than 100 MHz. If
possible, these pins should be connected directly to the VIN
and board GND planes. The use of thermal relief traces in
series with these pins is not recommended since this adds
extra parasitic inductance to the power path. This added
inductance in series with either the VIN or PGND pin
degrades system noise immunity by increasing positive and
negative VSW ringing.
PGND pad and pins should be connected to the GND
copper plane with multiple vias for stable grounding. Poor
grounding can create a noisy and transient offset voltage
level between PGND and AGND. This could lead to faulty
operation of gate driver and MOSFETs.
Ringing at the BOOT pin is most effectively controlled by
close placement of the boot capacitor. Do not add any
additional capacitors between BOOT to PGND. This may
lead to excess current flow through the BOOT diode,
causing high power dissipation.
Put multiple vias on the VIN and VOUT copper areas to
interconnect top, inner, and bottom layers to evenly
distribute current flow and heat conduction. Do not put too
many vias on the SW copper to avoid extra parasitic
inductance and noise on the switching waveform. As long as
efficiency and thermal performance are acceptable, place
only one SW node copper on the top layer and put no vias on
the SW copper to minimize switch node parasitic noise. Vias
should be relatively large and of reasonably low inductance.
Critical high−frequency components; such as RBOOT, CBOOT,
RC snubber, and bypass capacitors; should be located as
close to the respective SPS module pins as possible on the
top layer of the PCB. If this is not feasible, they can be placed
on the board bottom side and their pins connected from
bottom to top through a network of low−inductance vias.
For the supply input (VCC pin), local decoupling
capacitor is required to supply the peak driving current and
to reduce noise during switching operation. Use at least 0.68
~ 2.2 mF/ 0402 ~ 0603/ X5R ~ X7R multi−layer ceramic
capacitor for the power rail. Keep this capacitor close to the
VCC pin and AGND copper planes. If it needs to be located
on the bottom side of board, put through−hole vias on each
pad of the decoupling capacitor to connect the capacitor pad
on bottom with VCC pin on top.
The supply voltage range on VCC is 4.5 V ~ 5.5 V,
typically 5 V for normal applications.
Bootstrap Circuit
The bootstrap circuit uses a charge storage capacitor
(CBOOT). A bootstrap capacitor of 0.1 ~ 0.22 mF/ 0402 ~
0603/ X5R ~ X7R is usually appropriate for most switching
applications. A series bootstrap resistor may be needed for
specific applications to lower high−side MOSFET switching
speed. The boot resistor is required when the SPS is
switching above 15 V VIN; when it is effective at controlling
VSW overshoot. RBOOT value from 2.2 to 6 W is typically
recommended to reduce excessive voltage spike and ringing
on the SW node. A higher RBOOT value can cause lower
efficiency due to high switching loss of high−side MOSFET.
Do not add a capacitor or resistor between the BOOT pin
and GND.
It is recommended to add a PCB place holder for a small
size 1 nF ~ 1 mF capacitor close to the REFIN pin and AGND
to reduce switching noise injection.
It is also recommended to add a small 10 ~ 47 pF capacitor
in parallel with the IMON resistor from IMON to REFIN.
This capacitor can help reduce switching noise coupling
onto the IMON signal. The place of the IMON resistor and
cap should be close to the controller, not the SPS to improve
the sensing accuracy.
PCB Layout Guideline
All of the high−current paths; such as VIN, SW, VOUT,
and GND coppers; should be short and wide for low parasitic
inductance and resistance. This helps achieve a more stable
and evenly distributed current flow, along with enhanced
heat radiation and system performance.
Input ceramic bypass capacitors must be close to the VIN
and PGND pins. This reduces the high−current power loop
inductance and the input current ripple induced by the power
MOSFET switching operation.
An output inductor should be located close to the
NCV303150 to minimize the power loss due to the SW
copper trace. Care should also be taken so the inductor
dissipation does not heat the SPS.
PowerTrench® MOSFETs are used in the output stage and
are effective at minimizing ringing due to fast switching. In
most cases, no RC snubber on SW node is required. If a
snubber is used, it should be placed close to the SW and
PGND pins. The resistor and capacitor of the snubber must
