DETAILED OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
PWM Input with Tri-State Function
Diode Emulation Mode (ZCD_EN#)
The PWM input receives the PWM control signal from the VR
controller IC. The PWM input is designed to be compatible
with standard controllers using two state logic (H and L) and
advanced controllers that incorporate tri-state logic (H, L
and tri-state) on the PWM output. For two state logic, the
PWM input operates as follows. When PWM is driven above
VPWM_TH_R the low side is turned on and the high side is
turned on. When PWM input is driven below VPWM_TH_F the
high side is turned off and the low side is turned on. For
tri-state logic, the PWM input operates as previously stated
for driving the MOSFETs. However, there is an third state
that is entered as the PWM output of tri-state compatible
controller enters its high impedance state during shutdown.
The high impedance state of the controller’s PWM output
allows the SiC620R and SiC620AR to pull the PWM input
into the tri-state region (see PWM Timing Diagram). If the
PWM input stays in this region for the tri-state hold-off
period, tTSHO, both high side and low side MOSFETs are
turned off. This function allows the VR phase to be disabled
without negative output voltage swing caused by inductor
ringing and saves a Schottky diode clamp. The PWM and
tri-state regions are separated by hysteresis to prevent false
triggering. The SiC620AR incorporates PWM voltage
thresholds that are compatible with 3.3 V logic and the
SiC620R thresholds are compatible with 5 V logic.
When ZCD_EN# pin is logic Low and PWM signal switches
Low, GL is forced on (after normal BBM time). During this
time, it is under control of the ZCD (zero crossing detect)
comparator. If, after the internal blanking delay, the inductor
current becomes zero, the low side is turned off. This
improves light load efficiency by avoiding discharge of
output capacitors. If PWM enters tri-state, then device will
go into normal tri-state mode after tri-state delay. The GL
output will be turned off regardless of Inductor current, this
is an alternative method of improving light load efficiency by
reducing switching losses.
Disable (DSBL#)
In the low state, the DSBL# pin shuts down the driver IC and
disables both high side and low side MOSFETs. In this state,
standby current is minimized. If DSBL# is left unconnected,
an internal pull-down resistor will pull the pin to CGND and
shut down the IC.
S20-0486, Rev. C 29-Jun-2020
Thermal Shutdown Warning (THWn)
The THWn pin is an open drain signal that flags the presence
of excessive junction temperature. Connect with a
maximum of 20 k, to VCIN. An internal temperature sensor
detects the junction temperature. The temperature
threshold is 160 °C. When this junction temperature is
exceeded the THWn flag is set. When the junction
temperature drops below 135 °C the device will clear the
THWn signal. The SiC620R and SiC620AR do not stop
operation when the flag is set. The decision to shutdown
must be made by an external thermal control function.
Voltage Input (VIN)
This is the power input to the drain of the high side power
MOSFET. This pin is connected to the high power
intermediate BUS rail.

Switch Node (VSWH and PHASE)
Bootstrap Circuit (BOOT)
The switch node, VSWH, is the circuit power stage output.
This is the output applied to the power inductor and output
filter to deliver the output for the buck converter. The PHASE
pin is internally connected to the switch node VSWH. This pin
is to be used exclusively as the return pin for the BOOT
capacitor. A 20 k resistor is connected between GH and
PHASE to provide a discharge path for the HS MOSFET in
the event that VCIN goes to zero while VIN is still applied.
The internal bootstrap diode and an external bootstrap
capacitor form a charge pump that supplies voltage to the
BOOT pin. An integrated bootstrap diode is incorporated so
that only an external capacitor is necessary to complete the
bootstrap circuit. Connect a boot strap capacitor with one
leg tied to BOOT pin and the other tied to PHASE pin.
Shoot-Through Protection and Adaptive Dead Time
The SiC620R and SiC620AR have an internal adaptive logic
to avoid shoot through and optimize dead time. The shoot
through protection ensures that both high side and low side
MOSFETs are not turned on at the same time. The adaptive
dead time control operates as follows. The HS and LS gate
voltages are monitored to prevent the one turning on from
tuning on until the other’s gate voltage is sufficiently low
(< 1 V). Built in delays also ensure that one power MOS is
completely off, before the other can be turned on. This
feature helps to adjust dead time as gate transitions change
with respect to output current and temperature. Change
with respect to output current and temperature.
Ground Connections (CGND and PGND)
PGND (power ground) should be externally connected
to CGND (control signal ground). The layout of the printed
circuit board should be such that the inductance separating
CGND and PGND is minimized. Transient differences due to
inductance effects between these two pins should not
exceed 0.5 V
Control and Drive Supply Voltage Input (VDRV, VCIN)
VCIN is the bias supply for the gate drive control IC. VDRV is
the bias supply for the gate drivers. It is recommended to
separate these pins through a resistor. This creates a low
pass filtering effect to avoid coupling of high frequency gate
drive noise into the IC.
Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
During the start up cycle, the UVLO disables the gate
drive holding high side and low side MOSFET gates low
until the supply voltage rail has reached a point at which
the logic circuitry can be safely activated. The SiC620R,
SiC620AR also incorporates logic to clamp the gate drive
signals to zero when the UVLO falling edge triggers the
shutdown of the device. As an added precaution, a 20 k
resistor is connected between GH and PHASE to provide a
discharge path for the HS MOSFET.

PCB LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS
Step 1: VIN/GND Planes and Decoupling
Step 3: VCIN/VDRV Input Filter
VSWH
P
G
N
D
PGND
CVDRV
CVCIN
VIN
CGND
VIN plane
PGND plane
1. Layout VIN and PGND planes as shown above
2. Ceramic capacitors should be placed right between VIN
and PGND, and very close to the device for best
decoupling effect
3. Difference values / packages of ceramic capacitors
should be used to cover entire decoupling spectrum e.g.
1210, 0805, 0603 and 0402
4. Smaller capacitance value, closer to device VIN pin(s)
- better high frequency noise absorbing
1. The VCIN/VDRV input filter ceramic cap should be placed
very close to IC. It is recommended to connect two caps
separately
2. CVCIN cap should be placed between pin 3 and pin 4
(CGND of driver IC) to achieve best noise filtering
3. CVDRV cap should be placed between pin 28 (PGND of
driver IC) and pin 29 to provide maximum instantaneous
driver current for low side MOSFET during switching
cycle
4. For connecting CVCIN analog ground, it is recommended
to use large plane to reduce parasitic inductance
Step 2: VSWH Plane
Step 4: BOOT Resistor and Capacitor Placement
VVSWH
SWH
Snubber
Cboot
Rboot
PPGND
Plane
GND plane
1. Connect output inductor to DrMOS with large plane to
lower the resistance
2. If any snubber network is required, place the
components as shown above and the network can be
placed at bottom
S20-0486, Rev. C 29-Jun-2020
1. These components need to be placed very close to IC,
right between PHASE (pin 7) and BOOT (pin 5)
2. To reduce parasitic inductance, chip size 0402 can be
used

Step 5: Signal Routing
1. Thermal relief vias can be added on the VIN and PGND
pads to utilize inner layers for high current and thermal
dissipation
CGND
2. To achieve better thermal performance, additional vias
can be put on VIN plane and PGND plane
CGND
3. VSWH pad is a noise source and not recommended to put
vias on this plane
4. 8 mil drill for pads and 10 mils drill for plane can be the
optional via size. Vias on pad may drain solder during
assembly and cause assembly issue. Please consult
with the assembly house for guideline
Step 7: Ground Connection
PGND
CGND
VSWH
1. Route the PWM / ZCD_EN# / DSBL# / THWn signal
traces out of the top left corner next DrMOS pin 1
2. PWM signal is very important signal, both signal and
return traces need to pay special attention of not letting
this trace cross any power nodes on any layer
PGND
3. It is best to “shield” traces form power switching nodes,
e.g. VSWH, to improve signal integrity
4. GL (pin 27) has been connected with GL pad internally
and does not need to connect externally
Step 6: Adding Thermal Relief Vias
1. It is recommended to make single connection between
CGND and PGND and this connection can be done on top
layer
2. It is recommended to make the whole inner 1 layer (next
to top layer) ground plane and separate them into CGND
and PGND plane
VSWH
3. These ground planes provide shielding between noise
source on top layer and signal trace on bottom layer

Multi-Phases VRPower PCB Layout
Following is an example for 6 phase layout. As can be seen, all the VRPower stages are lined in X-direction compactly with
decoupling caps next to them. The inductors are placed as close as possible to the SiC620R and SiC620AR to minimize the
PCB copper loss. Vias are applied on all PADs (VIN, PGND, CGND) of the SiC620R and SiC620AR to ensure that both electrical
and thermal performance are excellent. Large copper planes are used for all the high current loops, such as VIN, VSWH, VOUT
and PGND. These copper planes are duplicated in other layers to minimize the inductance and resistance. All the control signals
are routed from the SiC620R and SiC620AR to a controller placed to the north of the power stage through inner layers to avoid
the overlap of high current loops. This achieves a compact design with the output from the inductors feeding a load located to
the south of the design as shown in the figure.
