General Description
The Infineon TDA21320 is a multichip module that incorporates Infineon’s premier MOSFET technology into a
single high-side and a single low-side MOSFET. This is coupled with a robust, high performance, high switching
frequency gate driver on a single 38 pin LG-WIQFN-38-1 (6.6x4.5x0.6 mm³) package. The optimized gate timing
enables significant light load efficiency improvements over discrete solutions. State of the art MOSFET technology
provides exceptional performance at full and light load.
When combined with Infineon’s Primarion™ Controller Family of Digital Multi-phase Controllers, the TDA21320
forms a complete core-voltage regulator solution for advanced micro and graphics processors as well as point-ofload applications. The device package height is 0.6 mm. It is an excellent choice for applications with critical height
limitations and has reduced thermal impedance from junction to top case compared to DrMOS, allowing for top side
cooling.

The power density for transmitted power of this approach is approximately 50 W within a 28 mm area.

TDA21320
Theory of Operation

Theory of Operation
The TDA21320 features a power stage with MOSFET driver. Temperature and current are being monitored. Data
and various fault conditions can be reported to the controller.
The power MOSFETs are optimized for 5 V gate drive enabling excellent high load and light load efficiency. The
gate driver is a robust high-performance driver rated at the switching node for DC voltages ranging from -1 V to
+18 V.
5.1
Driver Characteristics
The gate driver has 2 voltage inputs, VCIN and VDRV. VCIN is the 5 V logic supply for the driver. VDRV sets the
driving voltage for the high-side and low-side MOSFETs. The reference for the gate driver control circuit (VCIN) is
CGND. To decouple the sensitive control circuitry (logic supply) from a noisy environment a ceramic capacitor must
be placed between VCIN and CGND close to the pins. VDRV needs also to be decoupled using a ceramic capacitor
(MLCC) between VDRV and PGND in close proximity to the pins. PGND serves as reference for the power circuitry
including the driver output stage.
5.2
Power-Up Sequence
Without the logic supply VCIN the device remains off. PWM is held low by an internal pull down resistor. PWM
information cannot be fed to the driver. VCIN supplies power to the driver logic. With the presence of VCIN on
power-up of the gate drive voltage VDRV, the driver and the PWM input will be enabled, the unforced PWM level
will be within its tri-state window. This signals that the driver supply voltages have cleared their respective UVLO
thresholds. TMON/FAULT reports temperature. The PWM controller is expected to wait for this to happen before
initiating PWM signals to start up the system.
Note that with VCIN and VDRV present, the switching node can rise up to VSW_0 with PWM in tri-state condition.
5.3
Inputs to the Internal Control Circuits
PWM is the control input to the IC from an external PWM controller and is compatible with 3.3 V logic. The PWM
input has tri-state functionality. When the voltage remains in the specified PWM-shutdown-window for at least the
PWM-shutdown-holdoff time t_tsshd, the operation will be suspended by keeping both MOSFET gate outputs low.
Once left open, the pin is held internally at a tri-state level of VPWM_O. The PWM signal must prevail for at least
tPWMmin to initiate a response from the driver.
The PWM threshold voltages VPMW_O, VPWM_H, VPWM_L do not vary over the wide range of VCIN supply voltages
(4.5 V to 8 V).
The OFF# pin provides a means to keep the low-side MOSFET disabled regardless of the PWM signal. It is an
active low signal. An internal pull up resistor ensures regular operation when the pin is not used.
When pulled low, the low-side MOSFET is kept in off-state. In multiphase systems the OFF# pins of all phases may
be connected together. One controller output is then able to toggle the LS-FET operation mode.

Monitoring and Protection Circuits
The TDA21320 is designed with the various protection functions. Most of these protection features require a PWM
controller that reacts properly on the assertion of a fault signal at TMON/FAULT to shutdown the circuit. Fault
assertion is latched and is being removed when VCIN and/or VDRV will be re-cycled. A reported fault is always
indicating a critical condition with high stress levels on the device and/or load that requires immediate action in form
of shutdown to prevent imminent catastrophic failure.
In multiphase regulators the TMON/FAULT outputs of the power stages will have to be connected together. The
TMON/FAULT output voltage follows the highest voltage output of any phase connected. The pull-down capability
of any TMON/FAULT output is weak so that a fault assertion of any phase will always override other phase outputs.
5.4.1
High-Side Short Protection (HSS)
The voltage at the switching node is being monitored during the LS-MOSFET being driven in on-state. When during
that time the switching node voltage exceeds a critical threshold of VHSStrip the HSS fault is being asserted by pulling
TMON/FAULT to ‘high’. The PWM controller has to shut down the power stage to prevent catastrophic failure.
TMON/FAULT is latched and will be released when VCIN and/or VDRV will be re-cycled.
HSS can lead to a very sudden current rise that can impact voltage potentials in and in vicinity of the power device
so that early reset events could potentially occur. Therefore, it is important to always have the system controller
terminate the power supply as soon as a critical event has been reported by the power stage.

Thermal Protection and Temperature Monitoring
The driver monitors and reports its temperature. In multiphase systems with connected TMON/FAULT pins only the
highest temperature of any of the connected phases will be reported. The PWM controller is supposed to react on
the reported temperature with power throttling commands to the load. If the system fails to respond and the
temperature continues to rise to a value of T TMAX for at least tTMONdeg, TMON/FAULT is being pulled high to report an
Over-Temperature Fault (OTP). TMON/FAULT is latched and will be released when VCIN and/or VDRV will be recycled. At OTP fault the driver outputs will be deactivated until VCIN and/or VDRV have been re-cycled.
The PWM controller is expected to shut down the power stage to prevent catastrophic failure.

Note: Temperature reporting below TTMON_min occurs with limited accuracy. TTMON_min is being defined by the
corresponding controller detection threshold for logic ‘L’.

Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The power stage should not be operated when its supply voltages are out of the nominal range. UVLO conditions
occurring during power up and power down must be accommodated by proper sequencing. An UVLO condition
under normal operation can indicate a problem with the driver voltage and must be handled with a shutdown to
prevent damage to the power stage.

Revision 2.4, 2015-07-16
TDA21320
Theory of Operation
A primary UVLO circuit monitors VCIN. Only after having VCIN in regulation range the UVLO monitoring on VDRV
takes place. During startup UVLO on VDRV is being signaled by keeping TMON/FAULT low.
With VCIN being below VUVLO1_R at startup the driver is inactive, PWM and TMON/FAULT are held low.
When VCIN exceeds VUVLO1_R the driver becomes active, pin PWM is being enabled as input and held internally at
its tri-state level of VPWM_O. Then VDRV determines TMON/FAULT:
-
Below VUVLO2_R TMON/FAULT remains ‘low’.
- When VDRV exceeds VUVLO2_R TMON/FAULT is released and reports temperature.
- When VDRV falls below VUVLO2_F for 3 consecutive cycles or 15 µs (typ.) TMON/FAULT is being pulled ‘low’.
If at startup VCIN and/or VDRV are below their respective undervoltage lockout rising thresholds (VUVLO1_R,
VUVLO2_R) GL and GH remain disabled. Once these thresholds have been cleared, the driver provides GL output
signal following PWM. When the voltage V BOOT-VSW has been exceeding VUVLOboot_R, GH is being released to
respond to PWM.
When VCIN and/or VDRV are falling below their respective undervoltage lockout falling thresholds (VUVLO1_F,
VUVLO2_F) the driver disables its outputs GH and GL to drive the MOSFETs.
When the voltage VBOOT-VSW has been falling below VUVLOboot_F for three consecutive PWM cycles the driver will be
disabled.

BOOT - Undervoltage Protection (UVLOBOOT)
The voltage between BOOT and SW pins (boot-voltage) is being monitored when VCIN and VDRV have been
clearing their respective UVLO conditions. At startup, the LS-MOSFET gate (GL) is enabled to respond to the PWM
signal when VDRV is being active. If the voltage at the boot capacitor is insufficient to clear the VUVLOboot_R
threshold, GH remains disabled until the active LS-MOSFET has forced sufficient charge onto the boot capacitor
during the PWM “L” state. When the boot capacitor voltage exceeds VUVLOboot_R, the GH output for the gate drive of
the HS-MOSFET is enabled.
At startup and anytime when the boot voltage is below VUVLOboot_F an internal boot-error flag is set. The boot-error
flag is being reset when the boot voltage exceeded VUVLOboot_R.
If during the falling edge of the PWM (from ‘H’ to tri-state or from ‘H’ to ‘L’) the UVLOBOOT error flag is set, an internal
counter increases by one. When the counter reaches three, the driver outputs GH/GL are being disabled (i.e.
latched in tri-state), regardless of the PWM input.
To reset the driver and resume operation, the PWM input has to be held in tri-state for 19 µs (typ). After that, the
UVLOBOOT counter is being reset to zero and the driver performs a startup sequence as described before in order to
bring sufficient charge onto the boot capacitor.
The UVLOBOOT counter is also being reset to zero whenever during the falling edge of the PWM the UVLO BOOT error
flag was not set, i.e. the error condition had been temporary for less than three consecutive instances of the falling
edge of the PWM signal.
To prevent depletion of the boot capacitor during extended time in tri-state during regular operation, a boot refresh
circuit will engage after 19 µs (typ) in consecutive tristate condition when the voltage at the boot capacitor has fallen
below VUVLOboot_F. This circuit remains active until VUVLOboot_R has been reached or the PWM input signal leaves the
region of tri-state. The boot refresh circuit is powered by VIN. To ensure full effectiveness the voltage difference (VINVSW ) should be more than 4.8 V.
If the driver was disabled due to an UVLOBOOT error, it will be reset to resume operation when VCIN and/or VDRV
will be re-cycled or PWM will be held at tri-state level for more than 19 μs (typ).
In case of an UVLOBOOT error it is expected that the system controller discovers a missing phase, phase current
mismatch, excessive temperature or OCP events on other phases and initiates shutdown.

Current Monitoring and Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
The TDA21320 senses and reports current back to the controller via the voltage at IMON. This voltage is a filtered
representation of the voltage at IMONREF. IMONREF is a current source output:
I IMONREF  I OUT  aCS
(2)
The voltage at IMONREF depends on the impedance its current is being passed through. A recommended target
voltage at zero output current is 1.5V (common mode voltage). The series resistor RIMONREF between IMONREF and
the common mode voltage reference sets the voltage gain of the current sense according to:
VIMONREF  VIMONREF _ CM  RIMONREF  I MONREF
(3)
The output current is now represented by the voltage difference between IMON and VIMONREF_CM. VIMONREF_CM is the
voltage at IMONREF when the load current is zero.
VIMON  VIMONREF _ CM  I OUT  RIMONREF  aCS
(4)
acs is given in 0 for VDRV = 5V. If VDRV has been chosen to be different, acs has to be calculated as:
aCS  6.67 A  1  VDRV V   5  0.012
A
(5)
A filter capacitor CIMON of 10 pF has to be placed between IMON and VIMONREF_CM (reference voltage pin of
RIMONREF). CIMON and RIMONREF have to be arranged in a tight loop close to the pins of the TDA21320. An additional
resistor RIMON has to be connected in parallel to CIMON. Its location is flexible and can also be at the controller. The
value for RIMON should be chosen identical to RIMONREF within the range of 200 Ω to 1 kΩ.
At the voltage receiver side the measurement loop has to be closed. It is important to not inject noise into this loop.
Therefore differential routing of IMON and IMONREF is required.

Theory of Operation
For example, having a permissible 500 mV voltage range at the receiver side to report positive current of 100 A, the
resistor that has to be used in the IMONREF path can be calculated as:
VIMON  VIMONREF _ CM  500mV
RIMONREF 
VIMON  VIMONREF _ CM
I OUT  aCS

(6)
500mV
 750
100 A  6.67  10 6
Having a resistor value of 348 Ω will result in the following voltage difference:
VIMON  VIMONREF _ CM  RIMONREF  I OUT  aCS  348  100 A  6.67  106  232mV
(7)
The sensing of current occurs in the HS-MOSFET and the LS-MOSFET during their respective on-times. During tristate condition both MOSFETs are in off-state without sensing. The current reported is then zero. If the tri-state
condition was present for more than 19 µs (typ.), current reporting resumes with a delay of 1 µs (typ.).
OCP: By design of the application the current should never exceed the OCP tripping threshold IOCPtrip. The duty
cycle is being truncated by the TDA21320 when the current exceeds IOCPtrip. This prevents the part from being
destroyed by excessive current. A counter is being increased counting consecutive PWM duty cycle truncations.
The counter is being reset at the first non-truncated PWM duty cycle. When the counter reaches the value of 10, a
fault will be reported at TMON/FAULT by pulling it to ‘high’ level signaling the PWM controller the need for
immediate action to prevent catastrophic failure. This fault is latched and will be released when VCIN and/or VDRV
are being re-cycled.
5.4.6
Shoot Through Protection
The TDA21320 driver includes gate drive functionality to protect against shoot through. In order to protect the power
stage from overlap, both high-side and low-side MOSFETs being on at the same time, the adaptive control circuitry
monitors specific voltages. When the PWM signal transitions to low, the high-side MOSFET will begin to turn-off
after the propagation delay time t_pdlu. When VGS of the high-side MOSFET is discharged below 1 V (a threshold
below which the high-side MOSFET is off), a secondary delay t_pdhl is initiated. After that delay the low-side
MOSFET turns on regardless of the state of the “PHASE” pin. It ensures that the converter can sink current
efficiently and the bootstrap capacitor will be refreshed appropriately during each switching cycle. See Figure 9 for
more detail.

addition place sufficient MLCCs in relative proximity of each power stage to deliver energy for the on-time of the
HS-MOSFET.

Board Layout Recommendations
Board Layout Recommendations
11
The PCB (printed circuit board) layout design follows the listed industry standards:
8
-
Recommended vias: 10 mil hole with 20 mil via pad diameter, 12 mil hole with 24 mil via pad diameter
-
Minimum (typical) via to via center distance: 25 mil (30 … 35 mil)
-
Minimum feature width: 5 mil
-
Minimum (typical) clearance: 5 mil (15 … 20 mil)
Commonly, 10 mil via drill diameters are used for PCBs up to 150 mil thicknesses (usually 22 layers). For thicker
boards, 12 mil vias are recommended. To reduce voltage spikes caused by parasitic circuit inductance, all primary
decoupling capacitors for VIN, VDRV, BOOT and VCIN should be of MLCC type, X6S or X7R rated and located at
the same board side as the powerstage close to their respective pins. This is especially important for the VIN to
PGND MLCCs.
Electrical and thermal connection of the powerstage to the PCB is crucial for achieving high efficiency. Therefore,
vias in VIN and PGND pads are required in the pad areas to connect most effectively to other power and PGND
layers. Bigger value MLCC input capacitors should be placed at the bottom side of the PCB close to the vias of the
powerstage’s VIN and PGND pads. To reduce the stray inductance in the current commutation loop it is strongly
recommended to have the 2
nd
layers from the top and the bottom of the board to be monolithic ground planes. All
logic and signal connections between powerstage and controller should be embedded between two ground layers.
The routing of the current sense lines back to the controller has to be done differentially, for example with 5 mil
spacing and 10 – 15 mil distances to other potentials. If the PCB features more than 10 layers, the passive
components associated with the current sense lines should be located only at the top side of the board. All resistors
and capacitors near the powerstage should be in 0402 case size. For minimizing distribution loss to the load and
maintaining signal integrity, have multiple layers/planes in parallel and ensure that the copper cross section for
PGND is at least as big as it is for Vout.
