FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
Today’s advanced systems are increasingly requiring more efficient and accurate power supplies. They present a set of
challenges that include highly accurate voltage regulation, high current and fast transient response capability, voltage monitoring
(power sequencing), and increased operating frequency. Point of Load power supplies offer adequate solutions to these
challenges. They are non-isolated DC to DC converters that are located near their load and take their input voltage from an
intermediate not, necessarily, regulated bus. their close proximity to the load is of a high importance with newer device
requirements. While meeting the challenges, they allow for higher efficiency, localized protection, and minimum distribution
losses. Their compact design and value makes them cost effective.
The 34717 is a PoL dual output power supply. Its integrated solution offers a cost effective system and reliable operation. It
utilizes a voltage mode synchronous buck switching converter topology with integrated low RDS(on) (50 m) N-channel power
MOSFETs for higher efficiency operation. It provides an output voltage with an accuracy of less than ±2.0%, and capable of
supplying up to 5.0 A of continuous current from both channels. The second output tracking abilities makes it ideal for systems
with multiple related supply rails. It has a programmable switching frequency that allows for flexibility and optimization over the
operating conditions and can operate at up to 1.0 MHz to significantly reduce the external components size and cost. It also
provides the ability to program the over-current limit for both channels. It protects against output over-current, over-voltage,
under-voltage, and over-temperature conditions. It also protects the system from short-circuit events. It incorporates a power
good output signal to alert the host when a fault occurs.
It can be enabled and disabled by controlling the SD pin, which offers power sequencing capabilities.
By integrating the control/supervisory circuitry along with the Power MOSFET switches for the buck converter into a spaceefficient package, the 34717 offers a complete, small-size, cost-effective, and simple solution to satisfy the needs of today’s
systems.

INTERNAL BIAS CIRCUITS
This block contains all circuits that provide the necessary supply voltages and bias currents for the internal circuitry. It consists
of:
• Internal voltage supply regulator: This regulator supplies the VDDI voltage that is used to drive the digital/analog internal
circuits. It is equipped with a Power-On-Reset (POR) circuit that watches for the right regulation levels. External filtering is
needed on the VDDI pin. This block will turn off during the shutdown mode.
• Internal bandgap reference voltage: This supplies the reference voltage to some of the internal circuitry.
• Bias circuit: This block generates the bias currents necessary to run all of the blocks in the IC.
SYSTEM CONTROL AND LOGIC
This block is the brain of the IC where the device processes data and reacts to it. Based on the status of the SD pin, the system
control reacts accordingly and orders the device into the right status. It also takes inputs from all of the monitoring/protection
circuits and initiates power up or power down commands. It communicates with the buck converter to manage the switching
operation and protects it against any faults.
OSCILLATOR
This block generates the clock cycles necessary to run the IC digital blocks. It also generates the buck converters switching
frequency. The switching frequency can be programmed by connecting a resistor divider to the FREQ pin, between VDDI and
GND pins (See Figure 1).
PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
This block contains the following circuits:
• Over-current limit and short-circuit detection: This block monitors the output of the buck converters for over-current
conditions and short-circuit events and alerts the system control for further command.
• Thermal limit detection: This block monitors the temperature of the device for overheating events. If the temperature rises
above the thermal shutdown threshold, this block will alert the system control for further commands.
• Output over-voltage and under-voltage monitoring: This block monitors the buck converters output voltages to ensure they
are within regulation boundaries. If not, this block alerts the system control for further commands.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL INTERNAL BLOCK DESCRIPTION
CONTROL AND SUPERVISORY FUNCTIONS
This block is used to interface with an outside host. It contains the following circuits.
• Shutdown control input: An outside host can put the 34717 device into shutdown mode by sending a logic “0” to the SD pin.
• Power good output signal: The 34717 can communicate to an outside host that a fault has occurred by pulling the voltage
on the PG pin high.
TRACKING AND SEQUENCING
This block allows the second output of the 34717 to track the voltage applied at the VREFIN pin in different tracking
configurations. This will be discussed in further details later in this document. For power down during a shutdown mode, the
34717 uses internal discharge MOSFETs (M8 and M9 on Figure 2, page 2) to discharge the first and second output respectively.
The discharge MOSFETs are only active during shutdown mode. Using this block along with controlling the SD pin can offer the
user power sequencing capabilities by controlling when to turn the 34717 outputs on or off.
BUCK CONVERTER
This block provides the main function of the 34717: DC to DC conversion from an un-regulated input voltage to a regulated
output voltage used by the loads for reliable operation. The buck converter is a high performance, fixed frequency (externally
adjustable), synchronous buck PWM voltage-mode control. It drives integrated 50mN-channel power MOSFETs saving board
space and enhancing efficiency. The switching regulator output voltage is adjustable with an accuracy of less than ±2% to meet
today’s requirements. The second channel’s output has the ability to track the voltage applied at the VREFIN pin. The regulator's
voltage control loop is compensated using a type III compensation network, with external components to allow for optimizing the
loop compensation, for a wide range of operating conditions. A typical Bootstrap circuit with an internal PMOS switch is used to
provide the voltage necessary to properly enhance the high-side MOSFET gate.
The 34717 has the ability to supply up to 5.0 A of continuous current from each channel, making it suitable for many high
current applications.

Figure 5. Operation Modes Diagram
MODES OF OPERATION
The 34717 has two primary modes of operation:
Normal Mode
In Normal mode, all functions and outputs are fully operational. To be in this mode, the VIN needs to be within its operating
range, Shutdown input is high, and no faults are present. This mode consumes the most amount of power.
Shutdown Mode
In this mode, activated by pulling the SD pin low, the chip is in a shutdown state and the output is disabled and discharged. In
this mode, the 34717 consumes the least amount of power since almost all of the internal blocks are disabled.
START-UP SEQUENCE
When power is first applied, the 34717 checks the status of the SD pin. If the device is in a shutdown mode, no block will power
up and the output will not attempt to ramp. Once the SD pin is set to high, the VDDI internal supply voltage and the bias currents
will be established, so the internal VDDI POR signal can be released. The rest of the internal blocks will be enabled and the buck
converter switching frequency and soft start timing values are determined by reading the FREQ, ILIM1, and ILIM2 pins. A soft
start cycle is then initiated to ramp up the output of the buck converter. The first channel uses an internal 0.7 V reference for its
error amplifier while the second channel’s error amplifier uses the voltage on the VREFIN pin as its reference voltage until VREFIN
is equal to 0.7 V, then the error amplifier defaults to the internal 0.7 V reference voltage. This method allows the second output
to achieve multiple tracking configurations as will be explained later in this document.

FUNCTIONAL DEVICE OPERATION
OPERATIONAL MODES
Soft start is used to prevent the output voltage from overshooting during startup. At initial startup, the output capacitor is at
zero volts; VOUT = 0 V. Therefore, the voltage across the inductor will be PVIN during the capacitor charge phase which will create
a very sharp di/dt ramp. Allowing the inductor current to rise too high can result in a large difference between the charging current
and the actual load current that can result in an undesired voltage spike once the capacitor is fully charged. The soft start is active
each time the IC goes out of standby or shutdown mode, power is recycled, or after a fault retry.
After a successful start-up cycle where the device is enabled, no faults have occurred, and the output voltage has reached its
regulation point, the 34717 pulls the power good output signal low after a 10 ms reset delay, to indicate to the host that the device
is in normal operation.
PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
The 34717 monitors the application for several fault conditions to protect the load from overstress. The reaction of the IC to
these faults ranges from turning off the outputs to just alerting the host that something is wrong. In the following paragraphs, each
fault condition is explained:
Output Over-voltage
An over-voltage condition occurs once the output voltage goes higher than the rising over-voltage threshold (VOVR). In this
case, the power good output signal is pulled high, alerting the host that a fault is present, but the output will stay active. To avoid
erroneous over-voltage conditions, a 20 µs filter is implemented. The buck converter will use its feedback loop to attempt to
correct the fault. Once the output voltage falls below the falling over-voltage threshold (VOVF), the fault is cleared and the power
good output signal is pulled low, the device is back in normal operation.
Output Under-voltage
An under-voltage condition occurs once the output voltage falls below the falling under-voltage threshold (VUVF). In this case,
the power good output signal is pulled high, alerting the host that a fault is present, but the output will stay active. To avoid
erroneous under-voltage conditions, a 20 µs filter is implemented. The buck converter will use its feedback loop to attempt to
correct the fault. Once the output voltage rises above the rising under-voltage threshold (VUVR), the fault is cleared and the power
good output signal is pulled low, the device is back in normal operation.
Output Over-current
This block detects over-current in the Power MOSFETs of the buck converter. It is comprised of a sense MOSFET and a
comparator. The sense MOSFET acts as a current detecting device by sampling a ratio of the load current. That sample is
compared via the comparator with an internal reference to determine if the output is in over-current or not. If the peak current in
the output inductor reaches the over current limit (ILIM), the converter will start a cycle-by-cycle operation to limit the current, and
a 10 ms over-current limit timer (tLIM) starts. The converter will stay in this mode of operation until one of the following occurs:
• The current is reduced back to the normal level before tLIM expires, and in this case normal operation is regained.
• tLIM expires without regaining normal operation, at which point the device turns off the output and the power good output
signal is pulled high. At the end of a time-out period of 100 ms (tTIMEOUT), the device will attempt another soft start cycle.
• The device reaches the thermal shutdown limit (TSDFET) and turns off the output. The power good output signal is pulled
high.
• The output current keeps increasing until it reaches the short-circuit current limit (ISHORT). See below for more details.
Short-circuit Current Limit
This block uses the same current detection mechanism as the over-current limit detection block. If the load current reaches
the ISHORT value, the device reacts by shutting down the output immediately. This is necessary to prevent damage in case of a
permanent short-circuit. Then, at the end of a timeout period of 100 ms (tTIMEOUT), the device will attempt another soft start cycle.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermal limit detection block monitors the temperature of the device and protects against excessive heating. If the temperature
reaches the thermal shutdown threshold (TSDFET), the converter output switches off and the power good output signal indicates
a fault by pulling high. The device will stay in this state until the temperature has decreased by the hysteresis value and then After
a timeout period (tTIMEOUT) of 100 ms, the device will retry automatically and the output will go through a soft start cycle. If
successful normal operation is regained, the power good output signal is asserted low to indicate it.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
CONFIGURING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE:
Both channels for the 34717 are general purpose DC-DC converters. The resistor divider to the INV node is responsible for
setting the output voltage. The equation is:
 R1 
VOUT  V REF 
 1
 R2 
For channel 1: VREF=VBG=0.7V.
For channel 2: The second channel of the 34717 has an internal reference selector, thus VREF can be either the voltage at
VREFIN pin or the internal reference voltage VBG. The reference value is given by the following condition: VREF=VREFIN if
VREFIN is less than VBG=0.7 V. Otherwise, VREF=VBG. Usually the output regulation voltage is calculated using the internal
reference VBG, and the condition VREF=VREFIN is used for tracking purposes.
SWITCHING FREQUENCY CONFIGURATION
The switching frequency will have a value of 1.0MHz by connecting the FREQ pin to the GND. If the smallest frequency value
of 200 kHz is desired, then connect the FREQ pin to VDDI. To program the switching frequency to another value, an external
resistor divider must be connected to the FREQ pin to achieve the voltages given by Table 5.

The following formula is helpful to find the maximum allowed ESR.

VOUT (1  D min)
The effects of the ESR is often neglected by the designers and may present a hidden danger to the ultimate supply stability.
Poor quality capacitors have a widely disparate ESR value, which can make the closed loop response inconsistent.
BOOTSTRAP CAPACITOR
The bootstrap capacitor is needed to supply the gate voltage for the high-side MOSFET. This N-Channel MOSFET needs a
voltage difference between its gate and source to be able to turn on. The high-side MOSFET source is the SW node, so it is not
at ground and it is floating and shifting in voltage. We cannot just apply a voltage directly to the gate of the high-side that is
referenced to ground. We need a voltage referenced to the SW node. This is why the bootstrap capacitor is needed. This
capacitor charges during the high- side off time. The low-side will be on during that time. The SW node and the bottom of the
bootstrap capacitor will be connected to ground, and the top of the capacitor will be connected to a voltage source. The capacitor
will charge up to that voltage source (for example 5.0 V). Now when the low- side MOSFET switches off and the high-side
MOSFET switches on, the SW nodes will rise to VIN, and the voltage on the boot pin will be VCAP + VIN. The gate of the highside will have VCAP across it and it will be able to stay enhanced. A 0.1 F capacitor is a good value for this bootstrap element.
TYPE III COMPENSATION NETWORK
Power supplies are desired to offer accurate and tight regulation output voltages. A high DC gain is required to accomplish
this, but with high gain comes the possibility of instability. The purpose of adding compensation to the internal error amplifier is
to counteract some of the gains and phases contained in the control-to-output transfer function that could jeopardized the stability
of the power supply. The Type III compensation network used for the 34717 comprises two poles (one integrator and one high
frequency to cancel the zero generated from the ESR of the output capacitor) and two zeros to cancel the two poles generated
from the LC filter as shown in Figure 9.

RATIOMETRIC TRACKING CIRCUIT CONFIGURATION
The master voltage feedback resistor divider network is used in place of R3 and R4 as shown in Figure 12. The slave output
is connected through its own feedback resistor divider network to the INV- pin, resistors R1 and R2. All four resistors will affect
the accuracy of the system and must be 1% accurate resistors.
To achieve this tracking configuration, the master voltage must be connected in the way shown and cannot be directly
connected to the VREFIN pin.

CO-INCIDENTAL TRACKING CIRCUIT CONFIGURATION:
Connect a three resistor divider to the master voltage (VM) and Route the upper tap point of the divider to the VREFIN pin,
resistors R3, R4, and R5 as shown in Figure 14. This resistor divider must be the same ratio as the slave output’s (VS) feedback
resistor divider, which in turn connects to the INV- pin, resistors R1 and R2 below (Condition: R1 = R3 and R2 = R4 + R5). The
master’s feedback resistor divider would be (R3+R4) and R5. All five resistors will affect the accuracy of the system and must be
1% accurate resistors.
To achieve this tracking configuration, the master voltage must be connected in the way shown and cannot be directly
connected to the VREFIN pin.

Not-DDR Mode (Source Only Mode) is the case when no tracking is needed. VREFIN should be connected to VDDI and the
reference selection block will use the internal band gap voltage as the error amplifier’s reference voltage.
A user can potentially apply a voltage to the VREFIN pin directly or through a resistor divider to get a buffered output for use
in the application. The condition here is, the voltage applied to the VREFIN pin is greater than VBG to guarantee that the reference
selection block will not switch back to the VREFOUT voltage.
LAYOUT GUIDELINES
The layout of any switching regulator requires careful consideration. First, there are high di/dt signals present, and the traces
carrying these signals need to be kept as short and as wide as possible to minimize the trace inductance, and therefore reduce
the voltage spikes they can create. To do this, an understanding of the major current carrying loops is important. See Figure 16.
These loops, and their associated components, should be placed in such a way as to minimize the loop size to prevent coupling
to other parts of the circuit. Also, the current carrying power traces and their associated return traces should run adjacent to one
another, to minimize the amount of noise coupling. If sensitive traces must cross the current carrying traces, they should be made
perpendicular to one another to reduce field interaction.
Second, small signal components which connect to sensitive nodes need consideration. The critical small signal components
are the ones associated with the feedback circuit. The high impedance input of the error amp is especially sensitive to noise, and
the feedback and compensation components should be placed as far from the switch node, and as close to the input of the error
amplifier as possible. Other critical small signal components include the bypass capacitors for VIN, VREFIN, and VDDI. Locate
the bypass capacitors as close to the pin as possible.
The use of a multi-layer printed circuit board is recommended. Dedicate one layer, usually the layer under the top layer, as a
ground plane. Make all critical component ground connections with vias to this layer. Make sure that the power grounds, PGND1
and PGND2 are connected directly to the ground plane and not routed through the thermal pad or analog ground. Dedicate
another layer as a power plane and split this plane into local areas for common voltage nets.
The IC input supply (VIN) should be connected with a dedicated trace to the input supply. This will help prevent noise on the
buck regulator's power inputs (PVIN1 and PVIN2) from injecting switching noise into the IC’s analog circuitry.
In order to effectively transfer heat from the top layer to the ground plane and other layers of the printed circuit board, thermal
vias need to be used in the thermal pad design. It is recommended that 5 to 9 vias be spaced evenly and have a finished diameter
of 0.3 mm.
