OUTPUT SHORT CIRCUIT HICCUP AND RECOVERY FOR CHANNEL 2 FN6676.8 February 17, 2015 ISL85033 The ISL85033 combines a standard buck PWM controller with integrated switching MOSFETs. The buck controller drives an internal N-Channel MOSFET and requires an external diode to deliver load current up to 3A. A Schottky diode is recommended for improved efficiency and performance over a standard diode. The standard buck regulator can operate from an unregulated DC source, such as a battery, with a voltage ranging from +4.5V to +28V. The converter output can be regulated to as low as 0.8V. These features make the ISL85033 ideally suited for FPGA, set-top boxes, LCD panels, DVD drives, and wireless chipset power applications. The ISL85033 employs peak current-mode control loop, which simplifies feedback loop compensation and rejects input voltage variation. External feedback loop compensation allows flexibility in output filter component selection. The regulator switches at a default 500kHz and it can be adjusted from 300kHz to 2MHz with a resistor from FS to GND. The ISL85033 is synchronizable from 300kHz to 2MHz. Operation Initialization The power-on reset circuitry and enable inputs prevent false start-up of the PWM regulator output. Once all input criteria are met, the controller soft starts the output voltage to the programmed level. Power-on Reset and Undervoltage Lockout The ISL85033 automatically initializes upon receipt of input power supply. The power-on reset (POR) function continually monitors VIN1 voltage. While below the POR threshold, the controller inhibits switching of the internal power MOSFET. Once exceeded, the controller initializes the internal soft-start circuitry. If VIN1 supply drops below their falling POR threshold during soft-start or operation, the buck regulator is disabled until the input voltage returns. Enable and Disable When EN1 and EN2 are pulled low, the device enters shutdown mode and the supply current drops to a typical value of 20µA. All internal power devices are held in a high impedance state while in shutdown mode. The EN pin enables the controller of the ISL85033. When the voltage on the EN pin exceeds its logic rising threshold, the controller initiates the 2ms soft-start function for the PWM regulator. If the voltage on the EN pin drops below the falling threshold, the buck regulator shuts down. If EN1 and EN2 pins are driven by an external signal, the minimum off-time for EN1 and EN2 should be: EN_T_off s = 10s CSS 2.2nF (EQ. 1) Where CSS is the soft-start pin capacitor (nF). The ISL85033 does not have debouncing to the EN1 and EN2 external signals. Power-good PG is the open-drain output of a window comparator that continuously monitors the buck regulator output voltage via the FB Submit Document Feedback 16 pin. PG is actively held low when EN is low and during the buck regulator soft-start period. After the soft-start period terminates, PG becomes high impedance as long as the output voltage (monitored on the FB pin) is above 90% of the nominal regulation voltage set by FB. When VOUT drops 10% below the nominal regulation voltage, the ISL85033 pulls PG low. Any fault condition forces PG low until the fault condition is cleared by attempts to soft-start. There is an internal 5MΩ internal pull-up resistor. Output Voltage Selection The regulator output voltage is easily programmed using an external resistor divider to scale VOUT relative to the internal reference voltage. The scaled voltage is applied to the inverting input of the error amplifier; refer to Figure 38. The output voltage programming resistor, R2, depends on the value chosen for the feedback resistor, R3, and the desired output voltage, VOUT, of the regulator. Equation 2 describes the relationship between VOUT and resistor values. R3 is often chosen to be in the 1kΩ to 10kΩ range. R 2 = V OUT – 0.8 R 3 0.8 (EQ. 2) If the desired output voltage is 0.8V, then R3 is left unpopulated and R2 is 0Ω. VOUT FB EA R2 + - Detailed Description R3 0.8V REFERENCE FIGURE 38. EXTERNAL RESISTOR DIVIDER Output Tracking and Sequencing The output tracking and sequencing between channels can be implemented by using the SS1 and SS2 pins. Figures 39, 40 and 41 show several configurations for output tracking/sequencing for a 2.5V and 1.8V application. Independent soft-start for each channel is shown in Figure 39 and measured in Figure 29. The output ramp-time for each channel (tSS) is set by the soft-start capacitor (CSS) as shown by Equation 3. C SS F = 2.5*t SS s (EQ. 3) The maximum CSS value is recommended not to exceed 100nF. Ratiometric tracking is achieved in Figure 40 by using the same value for the soft-start capacitor on each channel; it is measured in Figure 30. By connecting a feedback network from VOUT1 to the SS2 pin with the same ratio that sets VOUT2 voltage, absolute tracking shown in Figure 41 is implemented. The measurement is shown in Figure 31. If the output of Channel 1 is shorted to GND, it will enter overcurrent hiccup mode, SS2 will be pulled low through the added resistor between VOUT1 and SS2 and this will force Channel 2 into hiccup as well. If the output of Channel 2 is FN6676.8 February 17, 2015 ISL85033 shorted to GND with VOUT1 in regulation, it will enter overcurrent hiccup mode with a very short hiccup waiting time. The reason is that VOUT1 is still in regulation and can pull up SS2 very quickly via the resistor added between VOUT1 and SS2.

Overcurrent protection limits the current on the two buck regulators and internal LDO for VCC. Buck Regulator Overcurrent Protection During PWM on-time, current through the internal switching MOSFET is sampled and scaled through an internal pilot device. The sampled current is compared to a nominal 5A overcurrent limit. If the sampled current exceeds the overcurrent limit reference level, an internal overcurrent fault counter is set to 1 and an internal flag is set. The internal power MOSFET is immediately turned off and will not be turned on again until the next switching cycle. The protection circuitry continues to monitor the current and turns off the internal MOSFET as described. If the overcurrent condition persists for 17 sequential clock cycles, the overcurrent fault counter overflows indicating an overcurrent fault condition exists. The regulator is shutdown and power-good goes low. The buck controller attempts to recover from the overcurrent condition after waiting 8 soft-start cycles. The internal overcurrent flag and counter are reset. A normal soft-start cycle Submit Document Feedback 17 FN6676.8 February 17, 2015 ISL85033 is attempted and normal operation continues if the fault condition has cleared. If the overcurrent fault counter overflows during soft-start, the converter shuts down and this hiccup mode operation repeats. Thermal Overload Protection Thermal overload protection limits maximum junction temperature in the ISL85033. When the junction temperature (TJ) exceeds +150°C, a thermal sensor sends a signal to the fault monitor. The fault monitor commands the buck regulator to shutdown. When the junction temperature has decreased by 20°C, the regulator will attempt a normal soft-start sequence and return to normal operation. For continuous operation, the +125°C junction temperature rating should not be exceeded. BOOT Undervoltage Protection If the BOOT capacitor voltage falls below 2.5V, the BOOT undervoltage protection circuit will pull the phase pin low through a 1Ω switch for 400ns to recharge the capacitor. This operation may arise during long periods of no switching as in no load situations. Application Guidelines Operating Frequency The ISL85033 operates at a default switching frequency of 500kHz if FS is tied to VCC. Tie a resistor from FS to GND to program the switching frequency from 300kHz to 2MHz, as shown in Equation 4. [Minimum on-time of 150ns (typical) in conjunction with the input and output voltage should be considered when selecting the maximum operating frequency]. (EQ. 4) R FS k = 122k t – 0.17s Where t is the switching period in µs. RFS (kΩ) 300 200 Synchronization Control The frequency of operation can be synchronized up to 2MHz by an external signal applied to the SYNCIN pin. The falling edge on the SYNCIN triggers the rising edge of PHASE1/2. The switching frequency for each output is half of the SYNCIN frequency. Output Inductor Selection The inductor value determines the converter’s ripple current. Choosing an inductor current requires a somewhat arbitrary choice of ripple current, I. A reasonable starting point is 30% of total load current. The inductor value can then be calculated using Equation 5: V IN – V OUT V OUT L = -------------------------------- ---------------f SW I V IN (EQ. 5) Increasing the value of inductance reduces the ripple current and thus ripple voltage. However, the larger inductance value may reduce the converter’s response time to a load transient. The inductor current rating should be such that it will not saturate in overcurrent conditions. Buck Regulator Output Capacitor Selection An output capacitor is required to filter the inductor current. The Output ripple voltage and transient response are 2 critical factors when considering output capacitance choice. The current mode control loop allows the usage of low ESR ceramic capacitors and thus smaller board layout. Electrolytic and polymer capacitors may also be used. Additional consideration applies to ceramic capacitors. While they offer excellent overall performance and reliability, the actual in-circuit capacitance must be considered. Ceramic capacitors are rated using large peak-to-peak voltage swings and with no DC bias. In the DC/DC converter application, these conditions do not reflect reality. As a result, the actual capacitance may be considerably lower than the advertised value. Consult the manufacturers data sheet to determine the actual in-application capacitance. Most manufacturers publish capacitance vs DC bias so that this effect can be easily accommodated. The effects of AC voltage are not frequently published, but an assumption of ~20% further reduction will generally suffice. The result of these considerations can easily result in an effective capacitance 50% lower than the rated value. Nonetheless, they are a very good choice in many applications due to their reliability and extremely low ESR. The following equations allow calculation of the required capacitance to meet a desired ripple voltage level. Additional capacitance may be used. 100 For the ceramic capacitors (low ESR): 0 500 750 1000 1250 1500 fSW (kHz) FIGURE 43. RFS SELECTION vs fSW 1750 2000 I V OUTripple = ------------------------------------8 f SW C OUT (EQ. 6) Where I is the inductor’s peak-to-peak ripple current, fSW is the switching frequency and COUT is the output capacitor. If using electrolytic capacitors then: V OUTripple = I*ESR Submit Document Feedback 18 (EQ. 7) FN6676.8 February 17, 2015 ISL85033 Regarding transient response needs, a good starting point is to determine the allowable overshoot in VOUT if the load is suddenly removed. In this case, energy stored in the inductor will be transferred to COUT causing its voltage to rise. After calculating capacitance required for both ripple and transient needs, choose the larger of the calculated values. Equation 8 determines the required output capacitor value in order to achieve a desired overshoot relative to the regulated voltage.

COUT (µF) 80 60 Loop Compensation Design 3.3VOUT 40 20 The ISL85033 uses a constant frequency current mode control architecture to achieve simplified loop compensation and fast loop transient response. 5VOUT 12VOUT 0 1.02 1.04 1.06 1.08 1.10 VOUTMAX/VOUT FIGURE 44. COUT vs OVERSHOOT VOUTMAX/VOUT Current Sharing Configuration In current sharing configuration, FB1 is connected to FB2, EN1 to EN2, COMP1 to COMP2 and VOUT1 to VOUT2 as shown in Figure 3 on page 5. As a result, the equivalent gm doubles its single channel value. Since the two channels are out-of-phase, the frequency will be 2x the channel switching frequency. Ripple current cancellation will reduce the ripple current seen by the output capacitors and thus lower the ripple voltage. This results in the ability to use less capacitance than would be required by a single phase design of similar rating. Ripple current cancellation also reduces the ripple current seen at the input capacitors. Input Capacitor Selection To reduce the resulting input voltage ripple and to minimize EMI by forcing the very high frequency switching current into a tight local loop, an input capacitor is required. The input capacitor must have adequate ripple current rating, which can be approximated by Equation 10. If capacitors other than MLCC are used, attention must be paid to ripple and surge current ratings. The compensator schematic is shown in Figure 47. As mentioned in the COUT selection, ISL85033 allows the usage of low ESR output capacitor. Choice of the loop bandwidth fc is somewhat arbitrary but should not exceed 1/4 of the switching frequency. As a starting point, the lower of 100kHz or 1/6 of the switching frequency is reasonable. The following equations determine initial component values for the compensation, allowing the designer to make the selection with minimal effort.

Transfer function F1(S) from control to output voltage is calculated in Equation 17: The compensation capacitors are: C1 = 815pF, C2 = 2.5pF (There is approximately 3pF parasitic capacitance from VCOMP to GND; therefore, C2 is optional). Theory of Compensation The sensed current signal is injected into the voltage loop to achieve current mode control to simplify the loop compensation design. The inductor is not considered as a state variable for current mode control and the system becomes a single order system. It is much easier to design a compensator to stabilize the voltage loop than voltage mode control.

Rectifier Selection Current circulates from ground to the junction of the external Schottky diode and the inductor when the high-side switch is off. As a consequence, the polarity of the switching node is negative with respect to ground. This voltage is approximately -0.5V (a Schottky diode drop) during the off-time. The rectifier's rated reverse breakdown voltage must be at least equal to the maximum input voltage, preferably with a 20% derating factor. The power dissipation when the Schottky diode conducts is expressed in Equation 28: V OUT P D W = I OUT V D 1 – ---------------- V IN (EQ. 28) Where: The VD is the voltage drop of the Schottky diode. Selection of the Schottky diode is critical in terms of the high temperature reverse bias leakage current, which is very dependent on VIN and exponentially increasing with temperature. Due to the nature of FN6676.8 February 17, 2015 ISL85033 reverse bias leakage vs temperature, the diode should be carefully selected to operate in the worst case circuit conditions. Catastrophic failure is possible if the diode chosen experiences thermal runaway at elevated temperatures. Refer to Application Notes for AN1574, AN1605, AN1584 diode selection listed on page 1. Power Derating Characteristics To prevent the ISL85033 from exceeding the maximum junction temperature, some thermal analysis is required. The temperature rise is given by Equation 29: (EQ. 29) T RISE = PD JA Where PD is the power dissipated by the regulator and θJA is the thermal resistance from the junction of the die to the ambient temperature. The junction temperature, TJ, is given by Equation 30: (EQ. 30) T J = T A + T RISE Where TA is the ambient temperature. For the QFN package, the θJA is +38°C/W. The actual junction temperature should not exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature of +125°C When considering the thermal design, (consider the thermal needs of the rectifier diode). MAXIMUM AMBIENT TEMPERATURE (°C) The ISL85033 delivers full current at ambient temperatures up to +85°C if the thermal impedance from the thermal pad maintains the junction temperature below the thermal shutdown level, depending on the Input Voltage/Output Voltage combination and the switching frequency. The device power dissipation must be reduced to maintain the junction temperature at or below the thermal shutdown level. Figure 49 illustrates the power derating versus ambient temperature for the ISL85033 evaluation kit. Note that the evaluation kit derating curve is based on total circuit dissipation, not IC dissipation alone. 120 110 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 0 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ISL85033EVAL1ZB EVALUATION BOARD TOTAL POWER DISSIPATION (W) FIGURE 49. POWER DERATING CURVE Submit Document Feedback 22 Layout is very important in high frequency switching converter designs. With power devices switching efficiently between 100kHz and 600kHz, the resulting current transitions from one device to another cause voltage spikes across the interconnecting impedances and parasitic circuit elements. These voltage spikes can degrade efficiency, radiate noise into the circuit, and lead to device overvoltage stress. Careful component layout and printed circuit board design minimizes these voltage spikes. As an example, consider the turn-off transition of the upper MOSFET. Prior to turn-off, the MOSFET is carrying the full load current. During turn-off, current stops flowing in the MOSFET and is picked up by the Schottky diode. Any parasitic inductance in the switched current path generates a large voltage spike during the switching interval. Careful component selection, tight layout of the critical components and short, wide traces minimizes the magnitude of voltage spikes. There are two sets of critical components in the ISL85033 switching converter. The switching components are the most critical because they switch large amounts of energy and therefore tend to generate large amounts of noise. Next are the small signal components which connect to sensitive nodes or supply critical bypass current and signal coupling. A multilayer printed circuit board is recommended. Figure 50 shows the connections of the critical components in the converter. Note that capacitors CIN and COUT could each represent numerous physical capacitors. Dedicate one solid layer, (usually a middle layer of the PC board) for a ground plane and make all critical component ground connections with vias to this layer. Dedicate another solid layer as a power plane and break this plane into smaller islands of common voltage levels. Keep the metal runs from the PHASE terminals to the output inductor short. The power plane should support the input power and output power nodes. Use copper filled polygons on the top and bottom circuit layers for the phase nodes. Use the remaining printed circuit layers for small signal wiring. In order to dissipate heat generated by the internal LDO and MOSFET, the ground pad should be connected to the internal ground plane through at least four vias. This allows the heat to move away from the IC and also ties the pad to the ground plane through a low impedance path. JA = +38°C/W 1 Layout Considerations 12 The switching components should be placed close to the ISL85033 first. Minimize the length of the connections between the input capacitors, CIN, and the power switches by placing them nearby. Position both the ceramic and bulk input capacitors as close to the upper MOSFET drain as possible. Position the output inductor and output capacitors between the upper and Schottky diode and the load. The critical small signal components include any bypass capacitors, feedback components, and compensation components. Place the PWM converter compensation components close to the FB and COMP pins. The feedback resistors should be located as close as possible to the FB pin with vias tied straight to the ground plane as required.
