Introduction The PI5101-EVAL1 allows the user to test the basic principles and operational characteristics low voltage high current Active ORing function in a redundant power architecture, while also experiencing the benefits and the value of the PI5101 ultra-low RDS(on) MOSFET. The PI5101EVAL1 evaluation board is configured to receive two independent power source inputs, per a typical redundant power architecture, through two Active ORing channels that are combined to form a redundant power output. Each channel contains a PI2001 controller and PI5101 MOSFET. The PI5101-EVAL1 evaluation board is designed with optimized PCB layout and component placement to represent a realistic high density final design for an embedded high side Active ORing solution for 3.3V Bus Picor Corporation • picorpower.com applications requiring up to 60A. This evaluation board is intended as an easy and simple way to test the electrical and thermal performance of the PI5101 ultra-low RDS(on) MOSFET and PI2001 Active ORing controller. Both dynamic and steady state testing of the PI5101 and the PI2001 can be completed on the PI5101-EVAL1 evaluation board, in addition to using the key features of the product. Dynamic testing can be completed under a variety of system level fault conditions to check for response time to faults. This document provides basic instructions for initial startup and configuration of the evaluation board. Further information on the functionality of the PI5101 and PI2001 can be found in the PI5101 and PI2001 product data sheet. PI5101-EVAL1 User Guide Rev 1.0 Page 1 of 12 Product Description TM The PI5101 μRDS(on)FET solution combines a highperformance 5V, 360μΩ lateral N-Channel MOSFET in a thermally enhanced high density 4.1mm x 8mm x 2mm land-grid-array (LGA) package to enable world class performance in the footprint area of an industry standard SO-8 package. The PI5101 offers unprecedented figureof-merits for DC and switching application including RDS(on) x QG, gate resistance (RG) and package inductance (LDS) outperforming conventional Trench MOSFETs and enabling very low loss operation. Using the PI2001 controller with the PI5101 ultra-low RDS(on) N-channel MOSFET provides very high efficiency and low power loss during steady state operation. The PI2001 controller provides an active low fault flag output to the system during excessive forward current, light load, reverse current, over-voltage, under-voltage, and over-temperature fault conditions. The under-voltage and over-voltage thresholds are programmable via an external resistor divider. The PI5101 LGA package is fully compatible with industry standard SMT assembly processes.

Auxiliary Power Supply (Vaux): 3.1. The PI2001 Controller has a separate input (VC) that provides power to the control circuitry and the gate driver. An internal voltage regulator (VC) clamps the VC voltage to 15.5 V typically. 3.2. Connect independent power source to Vaux inputs of PI5101-EVAL1 Evaluation Board to supply power to the VC input. The Vaux voltage should be 5V higher than Vin (redundant power source output voltage) to fully enhance the PI5101. 3.3. 10 Ω bias resistors (Rbias, reference designators R11 and R12) are installed on the PI5101-EVAL1 between each Vaux input and VC pin of the PI2001 controllers (U1 and U2). 3.4. If Vaux is higher than the Clamp voltage, 15.5 V typical, the Rbias value has to be changed using the following equations: UV and OV resistors set up: 2.1. UV and OV programmable resistors are configured for a 3.3V Vin (BUS voltage) application in a two-resistor voltage divider configuration as shown in Figure 4. UV is set to 2.6V and OV is set for 3.8V, R1OV and R1UV are 2.00KΩ 1%. If the PI5101-EVAL1 is required to be used with a different Vin voltage application please follow the following steps to change the resistor values. 2.1.1.

OV and UV resistors values are configured for a 3.3 V input. If you are using the evaluation board at a different input voltage level you have to adjust the resistor values by replacing R1, R2, R3 and R4, or remove R3, R4, R5 and R6 to disable UV and OV function. 4.2. Please refer to the UV/OV section for details to set R1, R2, R3 and R4 proper values. 4.3. Connect the positive terminal of PS1 power supply to Vin1. Connect the ground terminal of PS1 to its local Gnd. Set the power supply to 3.3 V. Keep PS1 output disabled (OFF). 4.4. Connect the positive terminal of PS2 power supply to Vin2. Connect the ground terminal of PS2 to its local Gnd. Set the power supply to 3.3 V. Keep PS2 output disabled (OFF). 4.5. Connect the positive terminal of PS3 power supply to Vaux1 and Vaux2. Connect the ground terminal of this power supply to Gnd. Set the power supply to 12 V. Keep PS3 output disabled (OFF). 4.6. Connect the electronic load to the output between Vout and Gnd. Set the load current to 20 A. PI5101-EVAL1 User Guide Rev 1.0 Page 6 of 12 5. 6. Initial Functional Test 5.1. Enable (turn ON) PS1 power supply output. 5.2. Turn on the electronic load. 5.3. Verify that the electronic load input voltage reading is one diode voltage drop below 3.3 V. 5.4. Enable (turn ON) PS3 power supply output. 5.5.

This verifies that there is no fault condition. 5.7. Reduce PS1 output voltage to 2 V, 5.8. LED D1 should turn on, this verifies that the circuit is in an under-voltage fault condition. 5.9. Increase PS1 output to 3.3 V, LED D1 should turn off, then increase PS1 output to 4 V, LED D1 should turn on indicating an over-voltage fault condition 5.10. Verify that Vin2 is at 0V. This verifies that the PI2001 (U2) MOSFET (M2) is off. 5.11. Enable (turn ON) PS2 output. 5.12. Verify that both PS1 and PS2 are sharing load current evenly by looking at the supply current. Power supplies output may need adjustment to set current sharing between the supplies. 5.13. Disable (turn OFF) PS1, PS2 and PS3 outputs. 5.14. Enable (turn ON) PS2 output then Enable PS3 output. 5.15. Verify that the electronic load voltage reading is few millivolts below 3.3 V.

The PI5101 RDS(on) can be measured with a voltmeter between the test point S1 and test point D1 Kelvin connection for M1 and between the test point S2 and test point D2 Kelvin connection for M2. The potential between test point S1 and test point D1 is Drain-to-Source voltage difference of M1 and the RDS(on) is: Picor Corporation • picorpower.com Where: : : Drain-to-Source voltage difference Input current. Note: The RDS(on) value is temperature dependent and the junction temperature increases directly proportional to power dissipation. 7. Input short circuit test: PI2001 has a very fast response (160ns) to a reverse current (Input short) fault condition. Measuring such short period of event is critical and before the set-up is completed, consider the following: 7.1. To emulate a real application, the BUS supplies for this test should have a solid output source such as a DC-DC converter that supplies high current and can be connected very close to the evaluation board to reduce stray parasitic inductance. Or use the prospective supply sources of the end application where the PI5101 and/or PI2001 will be used. Typical bench power supplies have slow response to output load change. In this test when the power supply output is shorted and then released, the bench power supply may produce high output voltage with high current capability that may damage the device under test. 7.2. Do not install Input capacitors (C4 and/or C5) in this test. 7.3. Output capacitor (C3) should be installed. 7.4. Place the scope probes very close to the MOSFET drain and source to measure Vout and Vin, and make sure that the scope ground leads are very short. You may use a close by ground pad for the scope probe return, such as C4, C5, C6 and C7 Gnd pads. 7.5. Apply a short at one of the inputs (Vin1 or Vin2) when both controllers (U1 and U2) are on, PS1, PS2 and PS3 are enabled. The short can be applied electronically using a MOSFET connected between Vin and Gnd or simply by connecting Vin to Gnd. Then measure the response time between when the short is applied and the MOSFET is disconnected (or turned off). An example for PI2001 response time to an input short circuit is shown in Figure 5.
