1. Description
The PIP202-12M is designed for use as the power output stage of a synchronous
buck DC to DC converter. It contains a MOSFET control IC, two power MOSFET
transistors and a Schottky diode. By combining the power MOSFETs and the driver
circuit into a single component, stray inductances are virtually eliminated, resulting in
higher switching frequency, lower switching losses and a compact, efficient design.

Fig 3. Simplified functional block diagram of a synchronous DC to DC converter
output stage.
In order to understand the functions performed by the PIP202-12M, consider the
requirements of a synchronous DC to DC converter output stage, driven from a PWM
controller (Figure 3).
When the input voltage is HIGH, the upper MOSFET must be on and the lower
MOSFET must be off. Current flows from the supply (VDDO), through the upper
MOSFET and the inductor (Lout), to the output.

When the input voltage is LOW and current is flowing in the inductor, the upper
MOSFET must be off and the lower MOSFET must be on. Current flows from the
power ground (VSSO), through the lower MOSFET and the inductor (Lout), to the
output.
Finally, when switching between states, both MOSFETs must not be on at the same
time.

Fig 4. Input, output and gate drive waveforms of a synchronous DC to DC converter
output stage.
The input, output and gate drive waveforms are shown in Figure 4. When the input
voltage goes HIGH, the gate drive to the lower MOSFET immediately goes LOW. This
causes the output current to flow through the Schottky diode, connected between the
drain and source of the lower MOSFET. This causes output voltage to fall from zero to
approximately −0.5 V.
After a delay, if the input voltage is still HIGH, the gate drive to the upper MOSFET
goes HIGH. This causes the output voltage to rise to the output stage supply voltage,
VDDO.
When the input voltage goes LOW, the gate drive to the upper MOSFET immediately
goes LOW. The output voltage falls from VDDO, until it is clamped by the Schottky
diode at approximately −0.5 V.
After a delay, if the input voltage is still LOW, the gate drive to the lower MOSFET
goes HIGH. The lower MOSFET turns on, and the output voltage rises from −0.5 V to
zero.
7.3 Bootstrap diode
A bootstrap diode is integrated into the design of the PIP202-12M between VDDC
and CB.

7.4 3-state function
If the input from the PWM controller becomes high impedance (3-state) for longer
than144 ns, then both MOSFETs are turned off and the VI input is driven to 2.5 V by
an internal 2 x 10 kΩ resistor voltage divider between an internal 5 V reference and
ground.

PIP202-12M
Philips Semiconductors
DC to DC converter powertrain
At 500 KHz and 20 A output current, the maximum dissipation in each PIP202-12M is
5.7 W. The typical thermal resistance from junction to ambient is given in Table 4.
With thermal vias and forced air cooling, the thermal resistance of each PIP202-12M
from junction to ambient is15 K/W. Assuming a maximum ambient temperature of
55 °C, the maximum junction temperature (Tj(max)) is given by:
T j ( max ) = P tot × R th ( j – a ) + T amb = 5.7 × 15 + 55 = 140.5°C
(1)
The thermal resistance between the junction and the printed-circuit board is 5 K/W.
Therefore, the maximum printed-circuit board temperature (Tpcb(max)) is given by:
T pcb ( max ) = T j ( max ) – P tot × R th ( j – pcb ) = 140.5 – 5.7 × 5 = 112°C
(2)
11.2 Advantages of an integrated driver
One problem in the design of low-voltage, high-current DC to DC converters using
discrete components, is stray inductance between the various circuit elements.
Stray inductance in the gate drive circuit increases the switching times of the
MOSFETs and causes high-frequency oscillation of the gate voltage.
Stray inductance in the high-current loop between VDDO and VSSO causes switching
losses and electromagnetic interference. In discrete designs, high-frequency electric
and magnetic fields radiate from PCB tracks and couple into adjacent circuits.
By integrating the power MOSFETs and their drive circuits into a single package,
stray inductance is virtually eliminated, resulting in a compact, efficient design.
In discrete designs, the delays in the MOSFET drivers must be long enough to
ensure no cross-conduction even when using the slowest MOSFETs. Use of an
integrated driver allows the propagation delays in the MOSFET drivers to be precisely
matched to the MOSFETs. This minimizes switching losses and eliminates
cross-conduction whilst allowing the circuit to operate at a higher frequency.
11.3 External connection of power and signal lines
A major benefit of the PIP202-12M module is the ability to switch the internal power
MOSFETs faster than a DC to DC converter built from discrete components. This not
only reduces switching losses and increases system efficiency but it also results in
higher transient voltages on the device supply lines (VDDO and VSSO). This is due to
the high rate of change of current (dI/dt) through the combined parasitic inductance of
the PCB tracks and the decoupling capacitors.
To minimize the amplitude of these transients, decoupling capacitors must be placed
between VDDO and VSSO, as close as possible to the device pins. Low inductance,
chip ceramic capacitors are recommended.

Fig 12. External connection of power and signal lines.
To protect the control circuit from the transient voltages, the following precautions
must be taken. Refer to Figure 12.
1. The output stage ground (VSSO) must be connected to the decoupling capacitor
(Cin) before joining the ground plane. Otherwise, the switching noise on VSSO will
couple into the control circuit ground (VSSC).
2. The control circuit supply must be filtered using a resistor-capacitor (RC) filter.
The values shown in Figure 12 are suitable for most applications.
3. It is essential that the VSSC (signal ground) connection at the device is not
connected in the current return path between the VSSO (power ground)
connection at the device and the VDDO input capacitor.
4. It is also essential that the input to the VDDC (logic power) filter is not connected in
the current path between the VDDO (conversion power) connection at the device.
11.4 Switching frequency
A high operating frequency reduces the size and number of capacitors needed to
filter the output current, and also reduces the size of the output inductors. The
disadvantage, however is higher dissipation due to switching and MOSFET driver
losses. For example, doubling the operating frequency of the circuit in Figure 11 from
500 kHz to 1 MHz would increase the power dissipation in each PIP202-12M from
4 W to 6 W, at an output current of 20 A in each PIP202-12M.
The maximum switching frequency is limited by thermal considerations, the
dissipation in the PIP202-12M device(s) and the thermal resistance from junction to
ambient.
11.5 Thermal design
The PIP202-12M has three pads on its underside. These are designated PAD1, PAD2
and PAD3 (Figure 2). PAD1 is connected to VDDO, PAD2 is connected to VSSC and
PAD3 is connected to VO. In addition to providing low inductance electrical
connections, these pads conduct heat away efficiently from the MOSFETs and
control IC to the printed-circuit board. The thermal resistance from junction to
printed-circuit board is approximately 5 K/W. In order to take full advantage of the low

thermal resistance of this package, the printed-circuit board must be designed so that
heat is conducted away efficiently from the package. This can be achieved by
maximizing the area of copper around each pad, and by incorporating thermal vias to
conduct the heat to inner and/or bottom layers of the printed-circuit board.
An example of a thermal via pattern is shown in Figure 13. In a typical application,
with no forced air cooling, the use of thermal vias typically reduces the thermal
resistance from 25 K/W to 20 K/W. The additional use of a small fan can reduce this
further to approximately 15 K/W.

The thermal resistance of a particular design can be measured by passing a known
current between VSSO and VDDO. The current flows through the Schottky diode and
through the source-drain diode of the upper MOSFET. The direction of current flow is
into VSSO and out of VDDO. The volt drop between VSSO and VDDO is then measured
and used to calculate the power dissipation in the PIP202-12M. The case
temperature of the PIP202-12M can be measured using an infra-red thermometer.
The thermal resistance can then be calculated using the following equation:
T case – T amb
R th ( j – pcb ) = ------------------------------- ( K ⁄ W )
I × VF
(3)
where Tcase is the measured case temperature (°C), Tamb is the ambient
temperature (°C), I is the MOSFET current (A), and VF is the voltage drop between
VSSO and VDDO (V).
Where more than one phase is used, for example the circuit of Figure 11, the thermal
resistance of each PIP202-12M should be measured with current flowing in all
phases.

12. Test information
Figure 14 shows the test circuit used to measure power loss in the PIP202-12M. The
output voltage is measured using an averaging circuit. This eliminates losses in the
output inductor and the PCB tracks. The calculated power loss, using this method,
includes the losses in the Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) of the input filter
capacitors. This must be subtracted from the total loss to give the net loss in the
PIP202-12M.

15. Soldering
15.1 Introduction to soldering MLF packages
The MicroLeadFrame package (MLF) is a near Chip Scale Package (CSP) with a
copper leadframe. It is a leadless package, where electrical contact to the printed
circuit board is made through metal pads on the underside of the package. In addition
to the small pads around the periphery of the package, there are large pads on the
underside that provide low thermal resistance, low electrical resistance, low
inductance connections between the power components inside the MLF package and
the PCB. It is this feature of the MLF package that makes it ideally suited for VRM
applications.
Electrical connection between the package and the printed circuit board is made by
printing solder paste on the printed circuit board, placing the component and
reflowing the solder in a convection or infra-red oven. The solder reflow process is
shown in Figure 18 and the typical temperature profile is shown in Figure 19. To
ensure good solder joints, the peak temperature Tp should not exceed 220° C for thin
packages such as MLF, and the time above liquidus temperature should be less than
1.25 minutes. The maximum temperature can be increased for lead free solder. The
ramp rate during preheat should not exceed 3 K/s. Nitrogen purge is recommended
during reflow.

15.2 Rework guidelines
Since the solder joints are largely inaccessible, only the side fillets can be touched
up. If there are defects underneath the package, then the whole package has to be
removed.
The first step in component removal is to reflow the solder joints. It is recommended
that the board is heated from the underside using a convective heater whilst hot air or
gas is directed at the upper surface of the component. Nozzles should be used to
direct the hot air or gas to minimize heating of adjacent components. Excessive
airflow should be avoided since this may cause the package to skew. An airflow of 15
to 20 liters per minute is usually adequate.
Once the solder joints have reflowed, the component should be lifted off the board
using a vacuum pen.
The next step is to clean the solder pads using solder braid and a blade shaped
soldering tool. Finally, the pads should be cleaned with a solvent. The solvent is
usually specific to the type of solder paste used in the original assembly and the
paste manufacturers recommendations should be followed.
16. Mounting
16.1 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 20
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 20. 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.

16.2 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 PCB lands in Figure 20.
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.
