Figure 1 – IR3092 Block Diagram
PWM Operation
The IR3092 is a fully integrated 2 phase interleaved PWM control IC which uses voltage mode control with trailing edge
modulation. A high-gain wide-bandwidth voltage type Error Amplifier in the control IC is used for the voltage control loop.
The PWM block diagram of the IR3092 is shown in Figure 2.
Refer to Figure 3. Upon receiving a clock pulse, the RSFF is set, the internal PWM ramp voltage begins to increase, the
low side driver is turned off, and the high side driver is then turned on. For phase 1, an internal 10pf capacitor is charged
by a current source that’s proportional to the switching frequency resulting in a ramp rate of 57mV per percent duty cycle.
For example, if the steady-state operating switch node duty cycle is 10%, then the internal ramp amplitude is typically
570mV from the starting point (or floor) to the crossing of the EAOUT control voltage. When the PWM ramp voltage
exceeds the Error Amplifier’s output voltage, the RSFF is reset. This turns off the high side driver, turns on the low side
driver, and discharges the PWM ramp to 0.7V until the next clock pulse.

Figure 2 – PWM Block Diagram
The RSFF is reset dominant allowing both phases to go to zero duty cycle within a few tens of nanoseconds in response
to a load step decrease. Phases can overlap and go to 100% duty cycle in response to a load step increase with turn-on
gated by the clock pulses. An Error Amplifier output voltage greater than the common mode input range of the PWM
comparator results in 100% duty cycle regardless of the voltage of the PWM ramp. This arrangement guarantees the
Error Amplifier is always in control and can demand 0 to 100% duty cycle as required. It also favors response to a load
step decrease which is appropriate given the low output to input voltage ratio of most systems. The inductor current will
increase much more rapidly than decrease in response to load transients.
This control method is designed to provide “single cycle transient response” where the inductor current changes in
response to load transients within a single switching cycle maximizing the effectiveness of the power train and minimizing
the output capacitor requirements.

Body Braking
TM
In a conventional synchronous buck converter, the minimum time required to reduce the current in the inductor in
response to a load step decrease is;
TSLEW = [L x (IMAX - IMIN)] / Vout
The slew rate of the inductor current can be significantly increased by turning off the synchronous rectifier in response
to a load step decrease. The switch node voltage is then forced to decrease until conduction of the synchronous rectifier’s
body diode occurs. This increases the voltage across the inductor from Vout to Vout + VBODY DIODE. The minimum time
required to reduce the current in the inductor in response to a load transient decrease is now;
TSLEW = [L x (IMAX - IMIN)] / (Vout + VBODY DIODE)
Since the voltage drop in the body diode is often higher than output voltage, the inductor current slew rate can be
increased by 2X or more. This patent pending technique is referred to as “body braking” and is accomplished through the
“0% Duty Cycle Comparator”. If the Error Amplifier’s output voltage drops below 0.55V, this comparator turns off the low
side gate driver.

Current Sense Amplifier
A high speed differential current sense amplifier is shown in Figure 5. Its gain decreases with increasing temperature and
is nominally 24.5 at 25ºC and 20 at 125ºC (-1400 ppm/ºC). This reduction of gain tends to compensate the 3850 ppm/ºC
increase in inductor DCR. Since in most designs the IR3092 IC junction is hotter than the inductors these two effects tend
to cancel such that no additional temperature compensation of the load line is required.
The current sense amplifier can accept positive differential input up to 75mV and negative up to -20mV before clipping.
The output of the current sense amplifier is summed with the DAC voltage which is used for over current protection,
voltage positioning and current sharing.

VCC Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The VCC UVLO function monitors the IR3092’s VCC supply pin and ensures enough voltage is available to power the
internal circuitry. During power-up the fault latch is reset when VCC exceeds 7.8V and all other faults are cleared. The
fault latch is set when VCC drops below 7.3V, resulting in 500mV of nominal VCC hysteresis for powering up into a load.
5VUVL Under Voltage Lockout (5VUVL)
The 5VUVL function is provided for converters using a separate voltage supply other than VCC for gate driver bias. The
5VUVL comparator prevents operation by discharging SS/DEL and forcing EAOUT low. The 5VUVL comparator has an
OK threshold of 4.3V ensuring adequate gate drive voltage is present and a fault threshold of 4.125V.
Page 13 of 37

Power Good Output
The PWRGD pin is an open-collector output and should be pulled up to a voltage source through a resistor. During soft
start, the PWRGD remains low until the output voltage is in regulation and SS/DEL is above 3.75V. The PWRGD pin
becomes low if the fault latch is set. A high level at the PWRGD pin indicates that the converter is in operation and has no
fault, but does not ensure the output voltage is within the specification. Output voltage regulation within the design limits
can logically be assured however, assuming no component failure in the system.
Tri-State Gate Drivers
The gate drivers can deliver over 3.5A peak current. An adaptive non-overlap circuit monitors the voltage on the GATEHX
and GATELX pins to prevent MOSFET shoot-through current while minimizing body diode conduction.
The Error Amplifier output of the Control IC drives low in response to any fault condition such as VCC input under voltage
or output overload. The 0% duty cycle comparator detects this and drives both gate outputs low. This tri-state operation
prevents negative inductor current and negative output voltage during power-down.
The Gate Drivers revert to a high impedance “off” state at VCCL and VCCHX supply voltages below the normal operating
range. An 80kŸUHVLVWRULVFRQQHFWHGDFURVVWKH*$7(;DQG3*1';SLQVWRSUHYHQWWKH*$7(;YROWDJHIURPULVLQJGXH
to leakage or other cause under these conditions.
Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The output Over-Voltage Protection comparator monitors the output voltage through the FB pin, the positive remote
sense point. If FB exceeds VDAC plus 145mV (for VR10.X, 480mV for OPTERON and ATHLON, selected with the
VID_SEL pin), both GATEL pins drive high and the OVP pin sources up to 10mA. The OVP circuit over-rides the normal
PWM operation and will fully turn-on the low side MOSFET within approximately 150ns. The low side MOSFET will
remain ON until the over-voltage condition ceases. The lower MOSFETs alone can not clamp the output voltage however
an SCR or N-MOSFET could be triggered by the OVP pin to prevent processor damage.
Error Amplifier compensation can slow down the response to an OVP condition if the voltage loop is too slow, which is
usually not the case. The FB pin can only respond to an over-voltage condition once the EAOUT voltage has reached its
minimum. Until then, the FB pin is modified by the falling EAOUT voltage so FB is equal to VDAC. The Error Amplifier
compensation slew current generates a voltage across the RFB resistor that will mask the output voltage OVP condition.
Again, for a typical fast voltage loop compensation scheme, a fairly large resistor is placed in series with the EAOUT to
FB compensation capacitor to speed up the loop which results in no noticeable OVP sensing delay.
The overall system must be considered when designing for OVP. In many cases the over-current protection of the AC-DC
or DC-DC converter supplying the multiphase converter will be triggered thus providing effective protection without
damage as long as all PCB traces and components are sized to handle the worst-case maximum current. If this is not
possible, a fuse can be added in the input supply to the multiphase converter. One scenario to be careful of is where the
input voltage to the multiphase converter may be pulled below the level where the ICs can provide adequate voltage to
the low side MOSFET thus defeating OVP.
TM
A Body Braking Disable Comparator has been included to prevent false OVP firing during dynamic VID down changes.
TM
The BB DISABLE Comparator disables Body Braking when FB exceeds VDAC by 80mV. The low side MOSFETs will
then be controlled to keep V(FB) and V(VOUT) within 80mV of V(VDAC), below the 150mV INTEL OVP trip point.

VID Control
The IR3092 provides three different microprocessor solutions. The VID_SEL pin selects the appropriate Digital-to-Analog
Converters (DAC), VID threshold voltages, and Over Voltage Protection (OVP) threshold for VR10.X, OPTERON, or
ATHLON solutions. AMD VID codes are shown in Table 1; Intel VID codes are found in Table 2. The DAC output voltage
is available at the VDAC pin. A detailed block diagram of the VID control circuitry can be found in Figure 7. The VID pins
are internally pulled up to 4.9V by 18uA current sources. The VID input comparators have a 0.6V threshold for VR10.X or
1.5V threshold for OPTERON and ATHLON. The selected DAC voltage is provided at the Error Amplifier positive input
and to the VDAC pin by the trans-conductance DAC Buffer.
The VDAC voltage is trimmed to the Error Amplifier output voltage with EAOUT tied to FB via an accurate resistor. This
compensates DAC Buffer input offset, Error Amplifier input offset, and errors in the generation of the FB bias current
which is based on RROSC. This trim method provides 0.5% system accuracy.
The IR3092 can accept changes in the VID code while operating and vary the VDAC voltage accordingly. The IR3092
detects a VID change and blanks the DAC output response for 400ns to verify the new code is valid and not due to skew
or noise. The sink/source capability of the VDAC buffer amp is programmed by the same external resistor that sets the
oscillator frequency, RROSC. The slew rate of the voltage at the VDAC pin can be adjusted by an external capacitor
between VDAC pin and the VOSNS- pin. A resistor connected in series with this capacitor is required to compensate the
VDAC buffer amplifier. Digital VID transitions result in a smooth analog transition of the VDAC voltage and converter
output voltage minimizing inrush currents in the input and output capacitors and overshoot of the output voltage.

Slew Rate Programming Capacitor CDAC and Resistor RDAC
VDAC sink current ISINK and source current ISOURCE are determined by RROSC, and their value can be found using the
curve in the Typical Operating Characteristics. The slew rate of VDAC down-slope SRDOWN can be programmed by the
external capacitor CDAC as defined in Equation (1) and shown in Figure 6. Resistor RDAC is used to compensate VDAC
circuit and is determined by Equation (2). The slew rate of VDAC up-slope SRUP is proportional to the down-slope slew
rate SRDOWN and is given by Equation (3).

Oscillator Resistor RROSC
The oscillator frequency is programmable from 100kHz to 540kHZ with an external resistor RROSC as shown in Figure 6.
The oscillator generates an internal 50% duty cycle saw tooth signal (Figure 4.) that is used to generate 180° out-of-phase
timing pulses to set Phase 1 and 2 RS flip-flops. Once the switching frequency is chosen, RROSC can be determined from
the curve in the I(SETBIAS) vs. Rosc curve in the Typical Operating Characteristics Section.
Soft Start, Over-Current Fault Delay, and Hiccup Mode
The IR3092 has a programmable soft-start function to limit the surge current during converter power-up. A capacitor
connected between the SS/DEL and LGND pins controls soft start timing as well as over-current protection delay and
hiccup mode timing.
Figure 8 depicts the various operating modes of the SS/DEL function. Under a no fault condition, the SS/DEL capacitor
will charge. The SS/DEL charge soft-start duration is controlled by a 55uA charge current which charges CSS up to 4.0V.
The Error Amplifier output is clamped low until SS/DEL reaches 1.3V. The Error Amplifier will then regulate the
converter’s output voltage to match the SS/DEL voltage less the 1.3V offset until it reaches the level determined by the
VID inputs. The PWRGD signal is asserted once the SS/DEL voltage exceeds 3.75V.
Page 18 of 37
06/25/04
IR3092
VCC and 5VUVL Under Voltage Lock Outs, a VID=11111x fault, or low Enable pin immediately set the fault latch causing
SS/DEL to begin discharging. The hiccup duration is controlled by a 5.5uA discharge current until the Discharge
Comparator Threshold of 0.26V is reached. If the fault has cleared, the fault latch will reset allowing a normal soft-start to
occur.
A delay is included if an over-current condition occurs after a successful soft start sequence. This is required since overcurrent conditions can occur as part of normal operation due to load transients or VID transitions. If an over-current fault
occurs during normal operation, the Over Current Comparator will initiate the discharge of the capacitor at SS/DEL but
will not set the fault latch immediately. If the over-current condition persists long enough for the SS/DEL capacitor to
discharge below the 3.75V threshold of the delay comparator, the Fault latch will be set pulling the Error Amplifier’s output
low, inhibiting switching and de-asserting the PWRGD signal. An additional discharge current is introduced during an over
current condition. The 5.5uA discharge current results in a long delay duration where SS/DEL discharges from its 4V
peak to the 3.75V fault delay threshold. This potentially long over-current protection activation delay could result in
potential power stage damage therefore an additional 45uA discharge current source assists the 5.5uA discharge current
if an over current condition is occurring and the SS/DEL capacitor is above 3.75V. 30mV of hysteresis is included in the
Delay Comparator to prevent PWRGD chatter when SS/DEL is at the delay threshold.
The SS/DEL capacitor will continue to discharge until it reaches 0.26V where the fault latch is reset allowing a normal soft
start to occur. If an over-current condition is again encountered during the soft start cycle, the fault latch will be set
without any delay and hiccup mode will begin. During hiccup mode the 10 to 1 charge to discharge ratio results in a 9%
hiccup mode duty cycle regardless of at what point the over-current condition occurs.
The converter can be disabled if the SS/DEL pin is pulled below 0.9V.

Soft-start delay time tSSDEL is the time to charge SS/DEL up to 1.3V. After this the error amplifier output is released to
allow the soft start. The soft start time tSS represents the time during which converter voltage rises from zero to VO. tSS

Over Current Protection (OCP)
The current limit threshold is set by a resistor connected between the OCSET and VDAC pins. If the average Current
Sense Amplifier output plus VDAC voltage exceeds the OCSET voltage, the over-current protection is triggered.
A delay is included if an over-current condition occurs after a successful soft-start sequence. This is required since overcurrent conditions can occur as part of normal operation due to load transients or VID transitions. If an over-current fault
occurs during normal operation, the Over Current Comparator will initiate the discharge of the capacitor at SS/DEL but
will not set the fault latch immediately. If the over-current condition persists long enough for the SS/DEL capacitor to
discharge below the 250mV offset of the delay comparator, the Fault latch will be set pulling the Error Amplifier’s output
low inhibiting switching in the phase ICs and de-asserting the PWRGD signal. See Soft Start, Over-Current Fault Delay,
and Hiccup Mode.
The inductor DC resistance RL is utilized to sense the inductor current. ILIMIT is the required over current limit. IOCSET, the
bias current of OCSET pin, is set by RROSC and is also determined by the curve in the Typical Operating Characteristics.
ROCSET is defined in the following Equation (8).

Adaptive Voltage Positioning
Adaptive voltage positioning is needed to reduce output voltage deviations during load transients and power dissipation of
the load when it is drawing maximum current. The circuitry related to voltage positioning is shown in Figure 9. Resistor
RFB is connected between the Error Amplifier’s inverting input pin FB and the converter’s output voltage. An internal
current source whose value is programmed by the same external resistor that programs the oscillator frequency, RROSC,
pumps current out of the FB pin. The FB bias current develops a positioning voltage drop across RFB which forces the
converter’s output voltage lower to V(VDAC)-I(FB)* RFB to maintain a balance at the Error Amplifier inputs. RFB is
selected to program the desired amount of fixed offset voltage below the DAC voltage.
The voltage at the VDRP pin is an average of both phase Current Sense Amplifiers and represents the sum of the VDAC
voltage and the average inductor current of all the phases. The VDRP pin is connected to the FB pin through the resistor.
The Error Amplifier forces the voltage on the FB pin to equal VDAC through the power supply loop therefore the current
through RDRP is equal to (VDRP-VDAC) / RDRP. As the load current increases, the VDRP voltage increases accordingly
which results in an increase RFB current, further positioning the output regulated voltage lower thus making the output
voltage reduction proportional to an increase in load current. The droop impedance or output impedance of the converter
can thus be programmed by the resistor RDRP. The offset and slope of the converter output impedance are independent
of the VDAC voltage.
AMD specifies the acceptable power supply regulation window as ±50mV around their specified VID tables. VR10.X
specifies the VID table voltages as the absolute maximum power supply voltage. In order to have all three DAC options,
the OPTERON and ATHLON DAC output voltages are pre-positioned 50mV higher than listed in AMD specs. During
testing, a series resistor is placed between EAOUT and FB to cancel the additional 50mV out of the DAC. The FB bias
current, equal to IROSC, develops the 50mV cancellation voltage. Trimming the VDAC voltage by monitoring V(EAOUT)
with this 50mV cancellation resistor in circuit also trims out errors in the FB bias current.
The VDRP pin voltage represents the average current of the converter plus the DAC voltage. The load current can be
retrieved by subtracting the VDAC voltage from the VDRP voltage.

A resistor RFB between FB pin and the converter output is used to create output voltage offset VO_NLOFST which is the
difference between VDAC voltage and output voltage at no load condition. An internal current source whose value is
programmed by the same external resistor that programs the oscillator frequency, RROSC, pumps current IROSC out of the
FB pin.
The voltage at the VDRP pin is an average of both phase Current Sense Amplifiers and represents the sum of the VDAC
voltage and the average inductor current of all the phases. The VDRP pin is connected to the FB pin through the Adaptive
Voltage Positioning Resistor RDRP. Adaptive voltage positioning lowers the converter voltage by RO*IO, where RO is the
required output impedance of the converter. RFB and RDRP are determined by (9) and (10) respectively, where RO is the
required output impedance of the converter.

Lossless Average Inductor Current Sensing
Inductor current can be sensed by connecting a series resistor and a capacitor network in parallel with the inductor and
measuring the voltage across the capacitor. The equation of the sensing network is,
vC ( s )
v L ( s)
1
1 sRS C S
i L ( s)
R L sL
1 sRS C S
Usually the resistor Rcs and capacitor Ccs are chosen so that the time constant of Rcs and Ccs equals the time constant
of the inductor which is the inductance L over the inductor DCR. If the two time constants match, the voltage across Ccs
is proportional to the current through L, and the sense circuit can be treated as if only a sense resistor with the value of
RL was used. The mismatch of the time constants does not affect the measurement of inductor DC current, but affects the
AC component of the inductor current.
The advantage of sensing the inductor current versus high side or low side sensing is that actual output current being
delivered to the load is obtained rather than peak or sampled information about the switch currents. The output voltage
can be positioned to meet a load line based on real time information. Except for a sense resistor in series with the
inductor, this is the only sense method that can support a single cycle transient response. Other methods provide no
information during either load increase (low side sensing) or load decrease (high side sensing).
An additional problem associated with peak or valley current mode control for voltage positioning is that they suffer from
peak-to-average errors. These errors will show in many ways but one example is the effect of frequency variation. If the
frequency of a particular unit is 10% low, the peak to peak inductor current will be 10% larger and the output impedance
of the converter will drop by about 10%. Variations in inductance, current sense amplifier bandwidth, PWM prop delay,
any added slope compensation, input voltage, and output voltage are all additional sources of peak-to-average errors.
The DC resistance of the inductor is utilized to sense the inductor current. Usually the resistor RCS and capacitor CCS in
parallel with the inductor are chosen to match the time constant of the inductor, and therefore the voltage across the
capacitor CCS represents the inductor current. If the two time constants are not the same, the AC component of the
capacitor voltage is different from that of the real inductor current. The time constant mismatch does not affect the
average current sharing among the multiple phases, but affects the AC component of the inductor current as well as the
output voltage during the load current transient if adaptive voltage positioning is adopted.

Measure the inductance L and the inductor DC resistance RL. Pre-select the capacitor CCS and calculate RCS as follows.
RCS

(11)
The bias current flowing out of the non-inverting input of the current sense amplifier creates a voltage drop across RCS,
which is equivalent to an input offset voltage of the current sense amplifier. The offset affects the accuracy of converter
current signal ISHARE as well as the accuracy of the converter output voltage if adaptive voltage positioning is adopted.
To reduce the offset voltage, a resistor RCSO should be added between the amplifier inverting input and the converter
output, as shown in Fig1. The resistor RCSO is determined by the ratio of the bias current from the non-inverting input and
the bias current from the inverting input.

If RCSO is not used, RCS should be chosen so that the offset voltage is small enough. Usually RCS should be less than 2
kŸDQGWKHUHIRUHDODUJHU&CS value is needed.
Inductor DCR Temperature Correction
If the Current Sense Amplifier temperature dependent gain is not adequate to compensate the inductor DCR TC, a
negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor can be added. The thermistor should be placed close to the inductor
and connected in parallel with the feedback resistor, as shown in Figure 10. The resistor in series with the thermistor is
used to reduce the nonlinearity of the thermistor.

Remote Voltage Sensing
To compensate for impedance in the ground plane, the VOSNS- pin is used for remote sensing and connects directly to
the load. The VDAC voltage is referenced to VOSNS- to avoid additional error terms or delay related to a separate
differential amplifier. The capacitor connecting the VDAC and VOSNS- pins ensure that high speed transients are fed
directly into the Error Amplifier without delay.
Master-Slave Current Share Loop
Current sharing between phases of the converter is achieved by a Master-Slave current share loop topology. The output
of the Phase 1 Current Sense Amplifier sets the reference for the Share Adjust Error Amplifier. The Share Adjust Error
Amplifier will then adjust the duty cycle of PWM Ramp2 to force its input error to zero, resulting in accurate current
sharing.
Page 23 of 37
06/25/04
IR3092
The maximum and minimum duty cycle adjust range of Ramp2 compared to Ramp1 has been limited to 0.5x and 2.0x of
the master’s ramp (see Figure 3.). The crossover frequency of the current share loop can be programmed with a capacitor
at the SCOMP pin so that the share loop does not interact with the output voltage loop. A 22nF capacitor from SCOMP to
LGND is good for most of the applications. If necessary have a 1k resistor in series with the Csc to make the current loop
a little bit faster.
The SCOMP capacitor is driven by a trans-conductance stage capable of sourcing and sinking 25uA. The duty cycle of
Ramp2 inversely tracks the voltage on the SCOMP pin; if V(SCOMP) increases, Ramp2’s slope will increase and the
effective duty cycle will decrease resulting in a reduction in Phase 2’s output current. Due to the limited 25uA source
current, an SCOMP pre-charge circuit has been included to pre-condition V(SCOMP) so that the duty cycle of Ramp2 is
equal to Ramp1 prior to any GATEHX high pulses. The pre-condition circuit can source 400uA. The Equal Duty Cycle
Comparator (see Block Diagram) activates a pre-charge circuit when SS/DEL is less than 0.7V. The Error Amplifier
becomes active enabling GATEH switching when SS/DEL is above 1.3V.
Compensation of Voltage Loop
The adaptive voltage positioning is used in the computer applications to meet the load line requirements. Like current
mode control, the adaptive voltage positioning loop introduces extra zero to the voltage loop and splits the double poles of
the power stage, which make the voltage loop compensation much easier.
Resistors RFB and RDRP are chosen according to Equations (9) and (10), and the selection of compensation types
depends on the capacitors used. For the applications using Electrolytic, Polymer or AL-Polymer capacitors, type II
compensation shown in Figure 11 (a) is usually enough. While for the applications with only low ESR ceramic capacitors,
type III compensation shown in Figure 11 (b) is preferred.

Equations (13), where CE and RCE are the equivalent capacitance and ESR of output capacitors respectively and RLE is
the equivalent resistance of inductor DCR.

LAYOUT GUIDELINES
The following layout guidelines are recommended to reduce the parasitic inductance and resistance of
the PCB layout, therefore minimizing the noise coupled to the IC. Refer to the schematic in Figure 6 –

Dedicate at least one inner layer of the PCB as power ground plane (PGND).
The center pad of IC must be connected to ground plane (PGND) using the recommended via
pattern shown in “PCB and Stencil Design Methodology”.
The IC’s PGND1, 2 and LGND should connect to the center pad under IC.
The following components must be grounded directly to the LGND pin on the IC using a ground
plane on the component side of PCB: CSS, RSC2, RSET, and CVCC. The LGND should only be
connected to ground plane on the center pad under IC
Place the decoupling capacitors CVCC and CBIAS as close as possible to the VCC and VCCL
pins. The ground side of CBIAS should not be connected to LGND and it should directly be
grounded through vias.
The following components should be placed as close as possible to the respective pins on the
IC: RROSC, ROCSET, CDAC, RDAC, CSS, CSC2, RSC2, CCOMP RCOMP and RSET.
Place current sense capacitors CCS1, 2 and resistors RCS1, 2 as close as possible to CSINP1,
2 pins of IC and route the two current sense signals in pairs connecting to the IC. The current
sense signals should be located away from gate drive signals and switch nodes.
Use Kelvin connections to route the current sense traces to each individual phase inductor, in
order to achieve good current share between phases.
Place the input decoupling capacitors closer to the drain of top MOSFET and the source of the
bottom MOSFET. If possible, use multiple smaller value ceramic caps instead of one big cap, or
use low inductance type of ceramic cap, to reduce the parasitic inductance.
Route the high current paths using wide and short traces or polygons. Use multiple vias for
connections between layers.
The symmetry of the following connections from phase to phase is important for proper
operation:
- The Kelvin connections of the current sense signals to inductors.
- The gate drive signals from the IC to the MOSFETS.
- The polygon shape of switching nodes.

PCB AND STENCIL DESIGN METHODOLOGY

7x7
48 Lead
0.5mm pitch MLPQ
See Figures 14-16.
PCB Metal Design (0.5mm Pitch Leads)
1. Lead land width should be equal to nominal part lead width. The minimum lead to lead spacing
should be •PPWRPLQLPL]HVKRUWLQJ
2. Lead land length should be equal to maximum part lead length + 0.2 mm outboard extension +
0.05mm inboard extension. The outboard extension ensures a large and inspectable toe fillet,
and the inboard extension will accommodate any part misalignment and ensure a fillet.
3. Center pad land length and width should be = maximum part pad length and width. However, the
minimum metal to metal spacing should be •PPR]&RSSHU•PPIRUR]&RSSHU
and •PPIRUR]&RSSHU
4. Sixteen 0.30mm diameter vias shall be placed in the pad land spaced at 1.2mm, and connected
to ground to minimize the noise effect on the IC, and to transfer heat to the PCB.
PCB Solder Resist Design (0.5mm Pitch Leads)
1. Lead lands. The solder resist should be pulled away from the metal lead lands by a minimum of
0.060mm. The solder resist mis-alignment is a maximum of 0.050mm and it is recommended
that the lead lands are all NSMD. Therefore pulling the S/R 0.060mm will always ensure NSMD
pads.
2. The minimum solder resist width is 0.13mm, therefore it is recommended that the solder resist is
completely removed from between the lead lands forming a single opening for each “group” of
lead lands.
3. At the inside corner of the solder resist where the lead land groups meet, it is recommended to
provide a fillet so a solder resist width of •PPUHPDLQV
4. Land Pad. The land pad should be SMD, with a minimum overlap of the solder resist onto the
copper of 0.060mm to accommodate solder resist mis-alignment. In 0.5mm pitch cases it is
allowable to have the solder resist opening for the land pad to be smaller than the part pad.
5. Ensure that the solder resist in-between the lead lands and the pad land is •PPGXHWRWKH
high aspect ratio of the solder resist strip separating the lead lands from the pad land.
6. The single via in the land pad should be tented with solder resist 0.4mm diameter, or 0.1mm
larger than the diameter of the via.
Stencil Design (0.5mm Pitch Leads)
1. The stencil apertures for the lead lands should be approximately 80% of the area of the lead
lands. Reducing the amount of solder deposited will minimize the occurrence of lead shorts.
Since for 0.5mm pitch devices the leads are only 0.25mm wide, the stencil apertures should not
be made narrower; openings in stencils < 0.25mm wide are difficult to maintain repeatable solder
release.
2. The stencil lead land apertures should therefore be shortened in length by 80% and centered on
the lead land.
3. The center land pad aperture should be striped with 0.25mm wide openings and spaces to
deposit approximately 50% area of solder on the center pad. If too much solder is deposited on
the center land pad the part will float and the lead lands will be open.
4. The maximum length and width of the center land pad stencil aperture should be equal to the
solder resist opening minus an annular 0.2mm pull back to decrease the incidence of shorting
the center land to the lead lands when the part is pushed into the solder paste.
