Cool-Power® PI33XX-X0 8V to 36Vin Cool-Power ZVS Buck Regulator Family Description Features The PI33XX is a family of high efficiency, wide input range DC-DC ZVS-Buck regulators integrating controller, power switches, and support components all within a high density System-in-Package (SiP). The integration of a high performance Zero-Voltage Switching (ZVS) topology, within the PI33XX series, increases point of load performance providing best in class power efficiency. The PI33XX requires only an external inductor and minimal capacitors to form a complete DC-DC switching mode buck regulator. Output Voltage Device Iout Max Set Range PI3311-X0-LGIZ 1.0V 1.0 to 1.4V 10A PI3318-X0-LGIZ 1.8V 1.4 to 2.0V 10A PI3312-X0-LGIZ 2.5V 2.0 to 3.1V 10A PI3301-X0-LGIZ 3.3V 2.3 to 4.1V 10A PI3302-X0-LGIZ 5.0V 3.3 to 6.5V 10A PI3303-X0-LGIZ 12V 6.5 to 13.0V 8A PI3305-X0-LGIZ 15V 10.0 to 16.0V 8A Table 1 - PI33XX-X0 Portfolio. The ZVS architecture also enables high frequency operation while minimizing switching losses and maximizing efficiency. The high switching frequency operation reduces the size of the external filtering components, improves power density, and enables very fast dynamic response to line and load transients. The PI33XX series sustains high switching frequency all the way up to the rated input voltage without sacrificing efficiency and, with its 20ns minimum on-time, supports large step down conversions up to 36Vin.

The PI33XX has a set output voltage that is trimmable within a prescribed range shown in Table 1. Performance and maximum output current are characterized with a specific external power inductor (see Table 5). L1 Vin Vin Cin PGND Vout VS1 PI33XX Cout Vout REM SYNCI TRK ADJ EN EAO SGND SYNCO Figure 2 - ZVS-Buck with required components For basic operation, Figure 2 shows the connections and components required. No additional design or settings are required. ENABLE (EN) EN is the enable pin of the converter. The EN Pin is referenced to SGND and permits the user to turn the converter on or off. The EN default polarity is a positive logic assertion. If the EN pin is left floating or asserted high, the converter output is enabled. Pulling EN pin below 0.8 Vdc with respect to SGND will disable the regulator output. The EN input polarity can be programmed (PI33XX-20 2 and PI33XX-21 versions only) via the I C data bus. When the EN pin polarity is programmed for negative logic assertion; and if the EN pin is left floating, the regulator output is enabled. Pulling the EN pin above 1.0 Vdc with respect to SGND, will disable the regulator output. Switching Frequency Synchronization The SYNCI input allows the user to synchronize the controller switching frequency by an external clock referenced to SGND. The external clock can synchronize the unit between 50% and 110% of the preset switching frequency (fS). For PI33XX-20 and PI33XX-21 versions only, the phase delay can be programmed via I2C bus with respect to the clock vicorpower.com 800 735.6200 applied at SYNCI pin. Phase delay allows PI33XX regulators to be paralleled and operate in an interleaving mode. The PI33XX default for SYNCI is to sync with respect to the falling edge of the applied clock providing 180° phase shift from SYNCO. This allows for the paralleling of two PI33XX devices without the need for further user programming or external sync clock circuitry. The user can change the SYNCI polarity to 2 sync with the external clock rising edge via the I C data bus (PI33XX-20 and PI33XX-21 versions only). When using the internal oscillator, the SYNCO pin provides a 5V clock that can be used to sync other regulators. Therefore, one PI33XX can act as the lead regulator and have additional PI33XXs running in parallel and interleaved. Output Voltage Trim The PI33XX output voltage can be trimmed up from the preset output by connecting a resistor from ADJ pin to SGND and can be trimmed down by connecting a resistor from ADJ pin to VOUT. The Table 2 defines the voltage ranges for the PI33XX family. Device PI3311-X0-LGIZ PI3318-X0-LGIZ PI3312-X0-LGIZ PI3301-X0-LGIZ PI3302-X0-LGIZ PI3303-X0-LGIZ PI3305-X0-LGIZ Output Voltage Set 1.0V 1.8V 2.5V 3.3V 5.0V 12V 15V Range 1.0 to 1.4V 1.4 to 2.0V 2.0 to 3.1V 2.3 to 4.1V 3.3 to 6.5V 6.5 to 13.0V 10.0 to 16.0V Table 2 - PI33XX family output voltage ranges. Soft-Start The PI33XX includes an internal soft-start capacitor to ramp the output voltage in 2ms from 0V to full output voltage. Connecting an external capacitor from the TRK pin to SGND will increase the start-up ramp period. See, “Soft Start Adjustment and Track,” Rev 1.4 11/2012 ® Cool-Power Page 32 of 42 PI33XX-X0 in the Applications Description section for more details. Remote Sensing An internal 100Ω resistor is connected between REM pin and VOUT pin to provide regulation when the REM is left open. With REM open, the converter will regulate 100mV above its set point. Connect REM to the desired reference node to be regulated. Output Current Limit Protection PI33XX has two methods implemented to protect from output short or over current condition. Slow Current Limit protection: prevents the output load from sourcing current higher than the regulator’s maximum rated current. If the output current exceeds the Current Limit (IOUT_CL) for 1024us, a slow current limit fault is initiated and the regulator is shutdown which eliminates output current flow. After Fault Restart Delay (tFR_DLY), a soft-start cycle is initiated. This restart cycle will be repeated indefinitely until the excessive load is removed. Fast Current Limit protection: PI33XX monitors the regulator inductor current pulse-by-pulse to prevent the output from supplying very high current due to a sudden low impedance short. If the regulator senses a high inductor current pulse, it will initiate a fault and stop switching until Fault Restart Delay ends and then initiate a soft-start cycle. Both the Fast and Slow current limit faults are stored in a Fault Register and can be read and cleared (PI33XX-20 and PI33XX-21 versions only) via I2C data bus. Input Under-Voltage Lockout If VIN falls below the input Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO) threshold, but remains high enough to power the internal bias supply, the PI33XX will complete the current cycle and stop switching. If VIN recovers within 128 switching cycles, the PI33XX will resume normal operation. If this time limit is exceeded, the system will enter a low power state and initiate a fault. The system will restart once the input voltage is reestablished and after the Fault Restart Delay. A UVLO fault is stored in a Fault Register and can be vicorpower.com 800 735.6200 read and cleared (PI33XX-20 and PI33XX-21 versions 2 only) via I C data bus. Input Over Voltage Lockout If VIN exceeds the input Over Voltage Lockout (OVLO) threshold (VOVLO), while the controller is running, the PI33XX will complete the current cycle and stop switching. If VIN recovers within 128 switching cycles, the PI33XX will resume normal operation. Otherwise, the system will enter a low power state and sets an OVLO fault. The system will resume operation when the input voltage falls below 98% of the OVLO threshold and after the Fault Restart Delay. The OVLO fault is stored in a Fault Register and can be read and cleared (PI33XX-20 and PI33XX-21 versions only) via I2C data bus. Output Over Voltage Protection The PI33XX family is equipped with output Over Voltage Protection (OVP) to prevent damage to input voltage sensitive devices. If the output voltage exceeds 20% of its set regulated value, the regulator will complete the current cycle, stop switching and issue an OVP fault. The system will resume operation once the output voltage falls below the OVP threshold and after Fault Restart Delay. The OVP fault is stored in a Fault Register and can be read and cleared (PI33XX-20 and PI33XX-21 versions only) via 2 I C data bus. Over Temperature Protection The internal package temperature is monitored to prevent internal components from reaching their thermal maximum. If the Over Temperature Protection Threshold (OTP) is exceeded (TOTP), the regulator will complete the current switching cycle, enter a low power mode, set a fault flag, and will soft-start when the internal temperature falls below Over-Temperature Restart Hysteresis (TOTP_HYS). The OTP fault is stored in a Fault Register and can be read and cleared (PI33XX-20 and PI33XX-21 versions only) 2 via I C data bus. Pulse Skip Mode (PSM) PI33XX features a PSM to achieve high efficiency at light loads. The regulators are setup to skip pulses if Rev 1.4 11/2012 ® Cool-Power Page 33 of 42 PI33XX-X0 EAO falls below a PSM threshold. Depending on conditions and component values, this may result in single pulses or several consecutive pulses followed by skipped pulses. Skipping cycles significantly reduces gate drive power and improves light load efficiency. The regulator will leave PSM once the EAO rises above the Skip Mode threshold. Variable Frequency Operation Each PI33XX is preprogrammed to a base operating frequency, with respect to the power stage inductor (see Table 5), to operate at peak efficiency across line and load variations. At low line and high load applications, the base frequency will decrease to accommodate these extreme operating ranges. By stretching the frequency, the ZVS operation is preserved throughout the total input line voltage range therefore maintaining optimum efficiency. Parallel Operation Paralleling multiple PI33XX modules can be used to increase the output current capability of a single power rail and reduce output voltage ripple. L1 Vin Vin Vout VS1 Vout Cin other regulators. The two regulators will be out of phase with each other reducing output ripple (refer to Switching Frequency Synchronization). To provide synchronization between regulators over the entire operational frequency range, the Parallel Good (PGD) pin must be connected to the lead regulator’s SYNCI pin and a 2.5kΩ Resistor, R1, must be placed between SYNCO return and the lead regulator’s SYNCI pin, as shown in Figure 3. In this configuration, at system soft-start, the PGD pin pulls SYNCI low forcing the lead regulator to initialize the open-loop startup synchronization. Once the regulators reach regulation, SYNCI is released and the system is now synchronized in a closed-loop configuration which allows the system to adjust, on the fly, when any of the individual regulators begin to enter variable frequency mode in the loop. Multi-phasing three regulators is possible (PI33XX-20 and PI33XX-21 only) with no change to the basic single-phase design.

These are one time programmable options to the device.

When the TRK pins of each unit are connected together, the units will track each other during soft-start and all unit EN pins have to be released to allow the units to start (See Figure 3). Also, any fault event in any regulator will disable the vicorpower.com 800 735.6200 Also, the PI33XX-20 and PI33XX-21 allow for dynamic Vout margining via I2C that is useful during development (settings stored in volatile memory only and not retained by the device).

R1, R2, and R4 are all internal 1.0 % resistors and R_low and R_high are external resistors for which the designer can add to modify VOUT to a desired output. The internal resistor value for each regulator is listed below in Table 4. Application Description Output Voltage Trim The PI33XX family of Buck Regulators provides seven common output voltages: 1.0V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, 5.0V, 12V and 15V. A post-package trim step is implemented to offset any resistor divider network errors ensuring maximum output accuracy. With a single resistor connected from the ADJ pin to SGND or REM, each device’s output can be varied above or below the nominal set voltage (with the exception of the PI3311-X0 which can only be above the set voltage of 1V).

The following equations can be used to calculate R_high and R_low values: ( ( ) ) ( ( ) ) ( ( ) ) If, for example, a 4.0V output is needed, the user should choose the regulator with a trim range covering 4.0V from Table 3. For this example, the PI3301 is selected (3.3V set voltage). First step would be to use Equation (1) to calculate R_high since the required output voltage is higher than the regulator set voltage. The resistor-divider network values for the PI3301 are can be found in Table 4 and are R1=2.61kΩ and R2=1.13kΩ. Inserting these values in to Equation (1), R_high is calculated as follows: SGND ( Figure 4 - Internal resistor divider network vicorpower.com 800 735.6200 Rev 1.4 11/2012 ) ( ) ® Cool-Power Page 35 of 42 PI33XX-X0 Resistor R-high would be connected as in Figure 4 to achieve the 4.0V regulator output. No R_low resistor would be used since in this example the trim is above the regulator set voltage. through a divider (Figure 6) with the same ratio as the slave’s feedback divider (see Table 4 for values). Master VOUT Soft-Start Adjust and Tracking ( R1 PI33XX The TRK pin offers a means to increase the regulator’s soft-start time or to track with additional regulators. The soft-start slope is controlled by an internal 100nF and a fixed charge current to provide a minimum startup time of 2ms (typical) for all PI33XX regulators. By adding an additional external capacitor to the TRK pin, the soft-start time can be increased further. The following equation can be used to calculate the proper capacitor for a desired soft-start times: ) Where, tTRK is the soft-start time and ITRK is a 50uA internal charge current (see Electrical Characteristics for limits). There is typically either proportional or direct tracking implemented within a design. For proportional tracking between several regulators at startup, simply connect all devices TRK pins together. This type of tracking will force all connected regulators to startup and reach regulation at the same time (see Figure 5 (a)). VOUT 1 VOUT 2 (a) Master VOUT TRK Slave R2 SGND Figure 6 - Voltage divider connections for direct tracking All connected regulators’ soft-start slopes will track with this method. Direct tracking timing is demonstrated in Figure 5 (b). All tracking regulators should have their Enable (EN) pins connected together to work properly. Inductor Pairing The PI33XX utilizes an external inductor. This inductor has been optimized for maximum efficiency performance.

It is recommended to use these curves as a guideline for proper thermal de-rating. These curves represent the entire system and are inclusive to both the Picor regulator and the external inductor. Maximum Rev 1.4 11/2012 ® Cool-Power Page 36 of 42 PI33XX-X0 thermal operation is limited by either the MOSFETs or inductor depending upon line and load conditions. Thermal measurements were made using a standard PI33XX Evaluation board which is 3x4 inches in area and uses 4-layer, 2oz copper. Thermal measurements were made on the three main power devices, the two internal MOSFETs and the external inductor, with air flows of 0, 200, and 400 LFM. vicorpower.com 800 735.6200 Rev 1.4 11/2012 ® Cool-Power Page 37 of 42 PI33XX-X0 Filter Considerations The PI33XX requires input bulk storage capacitance as well as low impedance ceramic X5R input capacitors to ensure proper start up and high frequency decoupling for the power stage. The PI33XX will draw nearly all of the high frequency current from the low impedance ceramic capacitors when the main high side MOSFET is conducting. During the time the high side MOSFET is off, they are replenished from the bulk capacitor. If the input impedance is high at the switching frequency of the converter, the bulk capacitor must supply all of the average current into the converter, including replenishing the ceramic capacitors.

The ESR for this capacitor should be approximately 20mΩ. The RMS ripple current in this capacitor is small, so it should not be a concern if the input recommended ceramic capacitors are used. Table 6 shows the recommended input and output capacitors to be used for the various models as well as expected transient response, RMS ripple currents per capacitor, and input and output ripple voltages. Table 7 includes the recommended input and output ceramic capacitors.

Reducing trace resistance and minimizing high current loop returns along with proper component placement will contribute to optimized performance. A typical buck converter circuit is shown in Figure 9. The potential areas of high parasitic inductance and resistance are the circuit return paths, shown as LR below. When Q1 is on and Q2 is off, the majority of CIN’s current is used to satisfy the output load and to recharge the COUT capacitors. When Q1 is off and Q2 is on, the load current is supplied by the inductor and the COUT capacitor as shown in Figure 11. During this period CIN is also being recharged by the VIN. Minimizing CIN loop inductance is important to reduce peak voltage excursions when Q1 turns off. Also, the difference in area between the CIN loop and COUT loop is vital to minimize switching and GND noise. Figure 9 - Typical Buck Converter The path between the COUT and CIN capacitors is of particular importance since the AC currents are flowing through both of them when Q1 is turned on. Figure 10, schematically, shows the reduced trace length between input and output capacitors. The shorter path lessens the effects that copper trace parasitics can have on the PI33XX performance. Figure 11 - Current flow: Q2 closed The recommended component placement, shown in Figure 12, illustrates the tight path between CIN and COUT (and VIN and VOUT) for the high AC return current. This optimized layout is used on the PI33XX evaluation board.
