Preliminary data sheet
1. General description
The PIP212M-12M is a fully optimized powertrain for high current high frequency
synchronous buck DC-to-DC applications. The PIP212M-12M replaces two power
MOSFETs, a Schottky diode and a driver IC, resulting in a significant increase in power
density. The integrated solution allows for optimization of individual components and
greatly reduces the parasitics associated with conventional discrete solutions, resulting in
higher system efficiencies at higher frequency operation.

Fig 3. Simplified functional block diagram of a synchronous DC-to-DC converter output
stage
The PIP212-12M combines two MOSFET transistors and a MOSFET driver in a thermally
enhanced low inductance package for use in high frequency and high efficiency
synchronous buck DC-to-DC converters; see Figure 3. The two MOSFETs are connected
in a half bridge configuration between VDDO and VSSO. The mid point of the two transistors
is VO which is connected to the output of a DC-to-DC converter via an inductor. A logic
HIGH signal on the VI pin causes the lower MOSFET to be switched off and the upper
MOSFET to be switched on. Current will then flow from the supply (VDDO), through the
upper MOSFET and the inductor (Lout) to the output.
A logic LOW signal on the VI pin causes the upper MOSFET to be turned off and the lower
MOSFET to be switched on. Current then flows from the power ground (VSSO), through
the lower MOSFET and the inductor (Lout), to the output. The output voltage is determined
by the ratio of time that the upper and lower MOSFETs conduct.
7.2 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The UVLO function ensures the correct operation of the control circuit during a power-up
and power-down sequence. Power to the control circuit is provided by the VDDC pin. This
voltage is internally monitored to ensure that if VDDC is below the UVLO threshold, the
DISABLE pin is internally pulled LOW and both MOSFETs are off. This is indicated by the
power ready (PRDY) flag, an open drain output that is pulled LOW whenever VDDC is
below the UVLO threshold.

7.3 Boost switch
The gate drive to the upper MOSFET is provided by a bootstrap capacitor (typically
100 nF) that is placed between the CBP and CBN pins. This capacitor is charged via an
internal boost switch to a voltage within a few millivolts of VDDC up to a maximum of 12 V
(this is to prevent excessive gate charge losses when VDDC > 12 V). The upper MOSFET
will be switched according to PWM input once the boost capacitor voltage is above 4.3 V.
When ever the voltage is below 2.7 V, the upper MOSFET will remain off.
7.4 VDDG regulator
The gate drive to the lower MOSFET is provided by the VDDG pin. A 1 µF capacitor should
be connected between this pin and VSSC. For minimum power loss within the
PIP212-12M, an external power supply of between 5 V and 12 V should be connected to
this pin. The optimum value for this voltage is dependent on the application but in the
majority of cases a 5 V supply is recommended; see Figure 11. In cases where the VDDG
maximum voltage will not be exceeded, the VDDG capacitor can be omitted by connecting
the VDDG and VDDC pins; see Figure 13.
When VDDC is connected to a supply greater than 9 V, an internal 6.5 V regulator
connected to VDDG can be used to provide the gate drive for the lower MOSFET;
see Figure 12. The VDDG regulator is enabled by leaving the VDDG_EN pin open resulting
in this pin being pulled internally to 5 V. If an external supply is to be connected to VDDG
then the VDDG_EN pin must be connected to VSSC to disable the internal VDDG regulator.

7.5 3-state function
If the input to VI from the PWM controller becomes high impedance, then the VI input is
driven to 2.5 V by an internal voltage divider. A voltage on the VI pin that is in-between the
VIH and VIL levels and present for longer than td(3-state), causes both MOSFETs to be
turned off. Normal operation commences once the VI input is outside this window for
longer than td(3-state).
7.6 Automatic Dead-time Reduction (ADR)
Protection against cross-conduction (shoot-through) is achieved via the insertion of a
delay (or dead-time) between the switching off of one MOSFET and the switching on of
the other MOSFET. The automatic dead-time reduction feature continuously monitors the
body diode of the lower MOSFET adjusting the dead-time to minimize body diode
conduction. This reduces power loss in both the upper and lower MOSFETs due to the
reduction in body diode conduction and reverse recovery charge. The lower power
dissipation leads to higher system efficiency and enables higher frequency operation.

7.7 Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
Protection against over temperature is provided by an internal thermal shutdown
incorporated into the control circuit. When the control circuit die temperature exceeds the
upper thermal trip level, both MOSFETs are switched off and the internal VDDG regulator
disabled. This state continues until the die temperature falls below the lower trip
temperature. This function is only operational when VDDC is above the UVLO level.
7.8 Am I Switching (AIS)
The AIS flag is designed for use with lost phase detection circuitry. During normal
operation (i.e. when PRDY and DISABLE are HIGH and VI is either HIGH or LOW), the
AIS pin is pulled LOW if no voltage transients have been detected on the VO pin for a
period of approximately 40 µs. If DISABLE is LOW or the driver is in 3-state mode, the AIS
pin will become floating (open drain) irrespective of any previous state. False signals
during start-up are prevented by activating this function approximately 200 µs after either
the DISABLE pin becoming HIGH or the driver leaving the 3-state mode.
7.9 Disable
This is the disable or enable function of the driver. Pulling the DISABLE pin LOW switches
off both MOSFETs, disables the REG5V output, and makes the AIS flag open drain. This
pin is internally pulled LOW whilst VDDC remains below the UVLO threshold. Once VDDC
exceeds the UVLO threshold, this pin is pulled HIGH by an internal resistor. In this way the
driver will enable itself unless there is an external pull down. In multiphase applications,
connecting the DISABLE pins of multiple PIP212-12M devices together will ensure that all
devices will only become enabled when the voltage on the VDDC pins of all of the devices
has exceeded the UVLO threshold; see Figure 10.
7.10 Reg5V
This function provides a low current regulated 5 V output voltage suitable for providing
power to a PWM controller. It is operational when both PRDY and DISABLE are HIGH.
Operation as a 5 V power supply is only guaranteed when VDDC is > 7 V. This pin can also
be used as part of an enable function for a PWM controller; this ensures that the PWM is
enabled only when the PIP212-12M is fully operational (i.e. both PRDY and DISABLE are
HIGH).

14. Soldering
14.1 Introduction to soldering surface mount packages
This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology. A more in-depth account of
soldering ICs can be found in our Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages
(document order number 9398 652 90011).
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all surface mount IC packages. Wave
soldering can still be used for certain surface mount ICs, but it is not suitable for fine pitch
SMDs. In these situations reflow soldering is recommended.
14.2 Reflow soldering
Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of fine solder particles, flux and
binding agent) to be applied to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling or
pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement. Driven by legislation and
environmental forces the worldwide use of lead-free solder pastes is increasing.
Several methods exist for reflowing; for example, convection or convection/infrared
heating in a conveyor type oven. Throughput times (preheating, soldering and cooling)
vary between 100 seconds and 200 seconds depending on heating method.
Typical reflow peak temperatures range from 215 °C to 270 °C depending on solder paste
material. The top-surface temperature of the packages should preferably be kept:
• below 225 °C (SnPb process) or below 245 °C (Pb-free process)
– for all BGA, HTSSON..T and SSOP..T packages
– for packages with a thickness ≥ 2.5 mm
– for packages with a thickness < 2.5 mm and a volume ≥ 350 mm3 so called
thick/large packages.
• below 240 °C (SnPb process) or below 260 °C (Pb-free process) for packages with a
thickness < 2.5 mm and a volume < 350 mm3 so called small/thin packages.
Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on packing, must be respected at all times.
14.3 Wave soldering
Conventional single wave soldering is not recommended for surface mount devices
(SMDs) or printed-circuit boards with a high component density, as solder bridging and
non-wetting can present major problems.
To overcome these problems the double-wave soldering method was specifically
developed.
If wave soldering is used the following conditions must be observed for optimal results:
• Use a double-wave soldering method comprising a turbulent wave with high upward
pressure followed by a smooth laminar wave.
• For packages with leads on two sides and a pitch (e):
– larger than or equal to 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis is preferred to be
parallel to the transport direction of the printed-circuit board;

DC-to-DC converter powertrain
– smaller than 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis must be parallel to the
transport direction of the printed-circuit board.
The footprint must incorporate solder thieves at the downstream end.
• For packages with leads on four sides, the footprint must be placed at a 45° angle to
the transport direction of the printed-circuit board. The footprint must incorporate
solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.
During placement and before soldering, the package must be fixed with a droplet of
adhesive. The adhesive can be applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe
dispensing. The package can be soldered after the adhesive is cured.
Typical dwell time of the leads in the wave ranges from 3 seconds to 4 seconds at 250 °C
or 265 °C, depending on solder material applied, SnPb or Pb-free respectively.
A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal of corrosive residues in most
applications.
14.4 Manual soldering
Fix the component by first soldering two diagonally-opposite end leads. Use a low voltage
(24 V or less) soldering iron applied to the flat part of the lead. Contact time must be
limited to 10 seconds at up to 300 °C.
When using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be soldered in one operation within
2 seconds to 5 seconds between 270 °C and 320 °C.

For more detailed information on the BGA packages refer to the (LF)BGA Application Note (AN01026);
order a copy from your Philips Semiconductors sales office.

All surface mount (SMD) packages are moisture sensitive. Depending upon the moisture content, the
maximum temperature (with respect to time) and body size of the package, there is a risk that internal or
external package cracks may occur due to vaporization of the moisture in them (the so called popcorn
effect). For details, refer to the Drypack information in the Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit
Packages; Section: Packing Methods.
[3]
These transparent plastic packages are extremely sensitive to reflow soldering conditions and must on no
account be processed through more than one soldering cycle or subjected to infrared reflow soldering with
peak temperature exceeding 217 °C ± 10 °C measured in the atmosphere of the reflow oven. The package
body peak temperature must be kept as low as possible.

These packages are not suitable for wave soldering. On versions with the heatsink on the bottom side, the
solder cannot penetrate between the printed-circuit board and the heatsink. On versions with the heatsink
on the top side, the solder might be deposited on the heatsink surface.
[5]
If wave soldering is considered, then the package must be placed at a 45° angle to the solder wave
direction. The package footprint must incorporate solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.
[6]
Wave soldering is suitable for LQFP, QFP and TQFP packages with a pitch (e) larger than 0.8 mm; it is
definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.65 mm.
[7]
Wave soldering is suitable for SSOP, TSSOP, VSO and VSSOP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger
than 0.65 mm; it is definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.5 mm.
[8]
Image sensor packages in principle should not be soldered. They are mounted in sockets or delivered
pre-mounted on flex foil. However, the image sensor package can be mounted by the client on a flex foil by
using a hot bar soldering process. The appropriate soldering profile can be provided on request.
[9]
Hot bar soldering or manual soldering is suitable for PMFP packages.
15. Mounting
15.1 PCB design guidelines
The terminals on the underside of the package are rectangular in shape with a rounded
edge on the inside. Electrical connection between the package and the printed-circuit
board is made by printing solder paste onto the PCB footprint followed by component
placement and reflow soldering. The PCB footprint shown in Figure 17 is designed to form
reliable solder joints.
The use of solder resist between each solder land is recommended. PCB tracks should
not be routed through the corner areas shown in Figure 17. This is because there is a
small, exposed remnant of the leadframe in each corner of the package, left over from the
cropping process.
Good surface flatness of the PCB lands is desirable to ensure accuracy of placement after
soldering. Printed-circuit boards that are finished with a roller tin process tend to leave
small lumps of tin in the corners of each land. Levelling with a hot air knife improves
flatness. Alternatively, an electro-less silver or silver immersion process produces
completely flat PCB lands.

15.2 Solder paste printing
The process of printing the solder paste requires care because of the fine pitch and small
size of the solder lands. A stencil thickness of 0.125 mm is recommended. The stencil
apertures can be made the same size as the solder lands in Figure 17.
The type of solder paste recommended for MLF packages is “No clean”, Type 3, due to
the difficulty of cleaning flux residues from beneath the MLF package.
