PWM DC/DC Controller With VID Inputs
For Portable GPU Core-Voltage Regulator
The ISL62871 and ISL62872 IC’s are Single-Phase
Synchronous-Buck PWM voltage regulators featuring
Intersil’s Robust Ripple Regulator (R3) Technology™. The
wide 3.3V to 25V input voltage range is ideal for systems
that run on battery or AC-adapter power sources. The
ISL62871 and ISL62872 are low-cost solutions for
applications requiring dynamically selected slew-rate
controlled output voltages. The soft-start and dynamic
setpoint slew-rates are capacitor programmed. Voltage
identification logic-inputs select two (ISL62871) or four
(ISL62872) resistor-programmed setpoint reference voltages
that directly set the output voltage of the converter between
0.5V to 1.5V, and up to 3.3V using a feedback voltage
divider. Optionally, an external reference such as the DAC
output from a microcontroller, can be used by either IC to
program the setpoint reference voltage, and still maintain the
controlled slew-rate features. Robust integrated MOSFET
drivers and Schottky bootstrap diode reduce the
implementation area and lower component cost.
Intersil’s R3 Technology™ combines the best features of
both fixed-frequency and hysteretic PWM control. The PWM
frequency is 300kHz during static operation, becoming
variable during changes in load, setpoint voltage, and input
voltage when changing between battery and AC-adapter
power. The modulators ability to change the PWM switching
frequency during these events in conjunction with external
loop compensation produces superior transient response.
For maximum efficiency, the converter automatically enters
diode-emulation mode (DEM) during light-load conditions
such as system standby.

ISL62872 Functional Pin Descriptions
SET2 (Pin 10)
LGATE (Pin 1)
Voltage set-point programming resistor input. See Figure 8
on page 12 for resistor connection.
Low-side MOSFET gate driver output. Connect to the gate
terminal of the low-side MOSFET of the converter.
PGOOD (Pin 11)
GND (Pin 3)
Power-good open-drain indicator output. This pin changes to
high impedance when the converter is able to supply
regulated voltage. The pull-down resistance between the
PGOOD pin and the GND pin identifies which protective fault
has shut down the regulator. See Table 3 on page 16.
IC ground for bias supply and signal reference.
FB (Pin 12)
EN (Pin 4)
Voltage feedback sense input. Connects internally to the
inverting input of the control-loop error amplifier. The
converter is in regulation when the voltage at the FB pin
equals the voltage on the SREF pin. The control loop
compensation network connects between the FB pin and the
converter output. See Figure 13 on page 17.
PGND (Pin 2)
Return current path for the LGATE MOSFET driver. Connect
to the source of the low-side MOSFET.
Enable input for the IC. Pulling EN above the VENTHR rising
threshold voltage initializes the soft-start sequence.
VID1 (Pin 5)
Logic input for setpoint voltage selector. Use in conjunction
with the VID0 pin to select among four setpoint reference
voltages.
VID0 (Pin 6)
Logic input for setpoint voltage selector. Use in conjunction
with the VID1 pin to select among four setpoint reference
voltages. External reference input when enabled by
connecting the SET0 pin to the VCC pin.
SREF (Pin 7)
VO (Pin 13)
Output voltage sense input for the R3 modulator. The VO pin
also serves as the reference input for the overcurrent
detection circuit. See Figure 10 on page 14.
OCSET (Pin 14)
Input for the overcurrent detection circuit. The overcurrent
setpoint programming resistor ROCSET connects from this
pin to the sense node. See Figure 10 on page 14.
Soft-start and voltage slew-rate programming capacitor
input. Setpoint reference voltage programming resistor input.
Connects internally to the inverting input of the VSET voltage
setpoint amplifier. See Figure 8 page 12 for capacitor and

Setpoint Reference Voltage Programming
Voltage identification (VID) pins select user-programmed
setpoint reference voltages that appear at the SREF pin. The
converter is in regulation when the FB pin voltage (VFB)
equals the SREF pin voltage (VSREF.) The IC measures VFB
and VSREF relative to the GND pin, not the PGND pin. The
setpoint reference voltages use the naming convention
FN6707.0
August 14, 2008
ISL62871, ISL62872
VSET(x) where (x) is the first, second, third, or fourth setpoint
reference voltage where:
- VSET1 < VSET2 < VSET3 < VSET4
- VOUT1 < VOUT2 < VOUT3 < VOUT4
The VSET1 setpoint is fixed at 500mV because it
corresponds to the closure of internal switch SW0 that
configures the VSET amplifier as a unity-gain voltage
follower for the 500mV voltage reference VREF.
A feedback voltage-divider network may be required to
achieve the desired reference voltages. Using the feedback
voltage-divider allows the maximum output voltage of the
converter to be higher than the 1.5V maximum setpoint
reference voltage that can be programmed on the SREF pin.
Likewise, the feedback voltage-divider allows the minimum
output voltage of the converter to be higher than the fixed
500mV setpoint reference voltage of VSET1. Scale the
voltage-divider network such that the voltage VFB equals the
voltage VSREF when the converter output voltage is at the
desired level. The voltage-divider relation is given in
Equation 1:
R OFS
V FB = V OUT ⋅ ---------------------------------R +R

(EQ. 1)
The setpoint reference voltages are programmed with
resistors that use the naming convention RSET(x) where (x)
is the first, second, third, or fourth programming resistor
connected in series starting at the SREF pin and ending at
the GND pin. When one of the internal switches closes, it
connects the inverting input of the VSET amplifier to a
specific node among the string of RSET programming
resistors. All the resistors between that node and the SREF
pin serve as the feedback impedance RF of the VSET
amplifier. Likewise, all the resistors between that node and
the GND pin serve as the input impedance RIN of the VSET
amplifier. Equation 4 gives the general form of the gain
equation for the VSET amplifier:

output voltage setpoints will be attenuated by K, so it follows
that all of the setpoint reference voltages will be attenuated
by K. It will be necessary then to include the attenuation
factor K in all the calculations for selecting the RSET
programming resistors.

External Setpoint Reference
Where:
The IC can use an external setpoint reference voltage as an
alternative to VID-selected, resistor-programmed setpoints.
This is accomplished by removing all setpoint programming
resistors, connecting the SET0 pin to the VCC pin, and
feeding the external setpoint reference voltage to the VID0
pin. When SET0 and VCC are tied together, the following
internal reconfigurations take place:
- VID0 pin opens its 500nA pull-down current sink
- Reference source selector switch SW4 moves from INT
position (internal 500mV) to EXT position (VID0 pin)
- VID1 pin is disabled
The converter will now be in regulation when the voltage on
the FB pin equals the voltage on the VID0 pin. As with
resistor-programmed setpoints, the reference voltage range
on the VID0 pin is 500mV to 1.5V. Use Equations 1, 2, and 3
beginning on page 11 should it become necessary to
implement an output voltage-divider network to make the
external setpoint reference voltage compatible with the
500mV to 1.5V constraint.
- ISS is the soft-start current source at the 20µA limit
- VSTART-UP is the setpoint reference voltage selected by
the state of the VID inputs at the time EN is asserted
- RT is the sum of the RSET programming resistors
The end of soft-start is detected by ISS tapering off when
capacitor CSOFT charges to the designated VSET voltage
reference setpoint. The SSOK flag is set, the PGOOD pin
goes high, and the ISS current source changes over to the
voltage-step current source IVS which has a current limit of
±100µA. Whenever the VID inputs or the external setpoint
reference, programs a different setpoint reference voltage,
the IVS current source charges or discharges capacitor
CSOFT to that new level at ±100µA. Once CSOFT charges to
the selected setpoint voltage, the IVS current source comes
out of the 100µA current limit and decays to the static value
set by VSREF ÷ RT. The elapsed time to charge CSOFT to
the new voltage is called the voltage-step delay tVS and is
given by Equation 19:

Circuit Description
When the voltage on the VCC pin has ramped above the
rising power-on reset voltage VVCC_THR, and the voltage on
the EN pin has increased above the rising enable threshold
voltage VENTHR, the SREF pin releases its discharge clamp
and enables the reference amplifier VSET. The soft-start
current ISS is limited to 20µA and is sourced out of the SREF
pin into the parallel RC network of capacitor CSOFT and
resistance RT. The resistance RT is the sum of all the series
connected RSET programming resistors and is written as
Equation 17:
R T = R SET1 + R SET2 + …R SET ( n )
(EQ. 17)
The voltage on the SREF pin rises as ISS charges CSOFT to
the voltage reference setpoint selected by the state of the
VID inputs at the time the EN pin is asserted. The regulator
controls the PWM such that the voltage on the FB pin tracks
the rising voltage on the SREF pin. Once CSOFT charges to
the selected setpoint voltage, the ISS current source comes
out of the 20µA current limit and decays to the static value
set by VSREF ÷ RT. The elapsed time from when the EN pin
is asserted to when VSREF has reached the voltage
reference setpoint is the soft-start delay tSS which is given

Fault Protection
Overcurrent
The overcurrent protection (OCP) setpoint is programmed
with resistor ROCSET which is connected across the OCSET
and PHASE pins. Resistor RO is connected between the VO
pin and the actual output voltage of the converter. During
normal operation, the VO pin is a high impedance path,
therefore there is no voltage drop across RO. The value of
resistor RO should always match the value of resistor

Figure 10 shows the overcurrent set circuit. The inductor
consists of inductance L and the DC resistance DCR. The
inductor DC current IL creates a voltage drop across DCR,
which is given by Equation 22:
(EQ. 22)
The IOCSET current source sinks 10µA into the OCSET pin,
creating a DC voltage drop across the resistor ROCSET,
which is given by Equation 23:
(EQ. 23)
The DC voltage difference between the OCSET pin and the
VO pin, which is given by Equation 24:
V OCSET – V VO = V DCR – V ROCSET = I L ⋅ DCR – I OCSET ⋅ R OCSET
(EQ. 24)
The IC monitors the voltage of the OCSET pin and the VO
pin. When the voltage of the OCSET pin is higher than the
voltage of the VO pin for more than 10µs, an OCP fault
latches the converter off.
14
(EQ. 25)
Where:
- ROCSET (Ω) is the resistor used to program the
overcurrent setpoint
- IOC is the output DC load current that will activate the
OCP fault detection circuit
- DCR is the inductor DC resistance
For example, if IOC is 20A and DCR is 4.5mΩ, the choice of
ROCSET is = 20A x 4.5mΩ/10µA = 9kΩ.
Resistor ROCSET and capacitor CSEN form an R-C network
to sense the inductor current. To sense the inductor current
correctly not only in DC operation, but also during dynamic
operation, the R-C network time constant ROCSET CSEN
needs to match the inductor time constant L/DCR. The value
of CSEN is then written as Equation 26:
(EQ. 26)
For example, if L is 1.5µH, DCR is 4.5mΩ, and ROCSET is
9kΩ, the choice of CSEN = 1.5µH/(9kΩ x 4.5mΩ) = 0.037µF.
When an OCP fault is declared, the PGOOD pin will
pull-down to 35Ω and latch off the converter. The fault will
remain latched until the EN pin has been pulled below the
falling EN threshold voltage VENTHF or if VCC has decayed
below the falling POR threshold voltage VVCC_THF.

The value of ROCSET is calculated with Equation 25, which
is written as:
Overvoltage
The OVP fault detection circuit triggers after the FB pin
voltage is above the rising overvoltage threshold VOVRTH for
more than 2µs. For example, if the converter is programmed
to regulate 1.0V at the FB pin, that voltage would have to
rise above the typical VOVRTH threshold of 116% for more
than 2µs in order to trip the OVP fault latch. In numerical terms,
that would be 116% x 1.0V = 1.16V. When an OVP fault is
declared, the PGOOD pin will pull-down to 65Ω and latch-off
the converter. The OVP fault will remain latched until VCC
has decayed below the falling POR threshold voltage
V
VCC_THF. An OVP fault cannot be reset by pulling the EN
pin below the falling EN threshold voltage VENTHF.
Although the converter has latched-off in response to an
OVP fault, the LGATE gate-driver output will retain the ability
to toggle the low-side MOSFET on and off, in response to
the output voltage transversing the VOVRTH and VOVFTH
thresholds. The LGATE gate-driver will turn-on the low-side
MOSFET to discharge the output voltage, protecting the
load. The LGATE gate-driver will turn-off the low-side
MOSFET once the FB pin voltage is lower than the falling
overvoltage threshold VOVRTH for more than 2µs. The
falling overvoltage threshold VOVFTH is typically 102%. That
FN6707.0
August 14, 2008
ISL62871, ISL62872
means if the FB pin voltage falls below 102% x 1.0V = 1.02V
for more than 2µs, the LGATE gate-driver will turn off the
low-side MOSFET. If the output voltage rises again, the
LGATE driver will again turn on the low-side MOSFET when
the FB pin voltage is above the rising overvoltage threshold
VOVRTH for more than 2µs. By doing so, the IC protects the
load when there is a consistent overvoltage condition.
Undervoltage
The UVP fault detection circuit triggers after the FB pin
voltage is below the undervoltage threshold VUVTH for more
than 2µs. For example if the converter is programmed to
regulate 1.0V at the FB pin, that voltage would have to fall
below the typical VUVTH threshold of 84% for more than 2µs
in order to trip the UVP fault latch. In numerical terms, that
would be 84% x 1.0V = 0.84V. When a UVP fault is declared,
the PGOOD pin will pull-down to 95Ω and latch-off the
converter. The fault will remain latched until the EN pin has
been pulled below the falling EN threshold voltage VENTHF
or if VCC has decayed below the falling POR threshold
voltage VVCC_THF.
Over-Temperature
When the temperature of the IC increases above the rising
threshold temperature TOTRTH, it will enter the OTP state
that suspends the PWM, forcing the LGATE and UGATE
gate-driver outputs low. The status of the PGOOD pin does
not change nor does the converter latch-off. The PWM
remains suspended until the IC temperature falls below the
hysteresis temperature TOTHYS at which time normal PWM
operation resumes. The OTP state can be reset if the EN pin
is pulled below the falling EN threshold voltage VENTHF or if
VCC has decayed below the falling POR threshold voltage
V
VCC_THF. All other protection circuits remain functional
while the IC is in the OTP state. It is likely that the IC will
detect an UVP fault because in the absence of PWM, the
output voltage decays below the undervoltage threshold
VUVTH.
of the transient and work in concert with the error amplifier
VERR to maintain output voltage regulation. Once the
transient has dissipated and the control loop has recovered,
the PWM frequency returns to the nominal static 300KHz.
Modulator
The R3 modulator synthesizes an AC signal VR, which is an
analog representation of the output inductor ripple current.
The duty-cycle of VR is the result of charge and discharge
current through a ripple capacitor CR. The current through
CR is provided by a transconductance amplifier gm that
measures the input voltage (VIN) at the PHASE pin and
output voltage (VOUT) at the VO pin. The positive slope of
VR can be written as Equation 27:
V RPOS = ( g m ) ⋅ ( V IN – V OUT ) ⁄ C R
(EQ. 27)
The negative slope of VR can be written as Equation 28:
V RNEG = g m ⋅ V OUT ⁄ C R
(EQ. 28)
Where, gm is the gain of the transconductance amplifier.
A window voltage VW is referenced with respect to the error
amplifier output voltage VCOMP, creating an envelope into
which the ripple voltage VR is compared. The amplitude of
VW is controlled internally by the IC. The VR, VCOMP, and
VW signals feed into a window comparator in which VCOMP
is the lower threshold voltage and VW is the higher threshold
voltage. Figure 11 shows PWM pulses being generated as
VR traverses the VW and VCOMP thresholds. The PWM
switching frequency is proportional to the slew rates of the
positive and negative slopes of VR; it is inversely
proportional to the voltage between VW and VCOMP.

Theory of Operation
The modulator features Intersil’s R3 Robust-RippleRegulator technology, a hybrid of fixed frequency PWM
control and variable frequency hysteretic control. The PWM
frequency is maintained at 300KHz under static
continuous-conduction-mode operation within the entire
specified envelope of input voltage, output voltage, and
output load. If the application should experience a rising load
transient and/or a falling line transient such that the output
voltage starts to fall, the modulator will extend the on-time
and/or reduce the off-time of the PWM pulse in progress.
Conversely, if the application should experience a falling
load transient and/or a rising line transient such that the
output voltage starts to rise, the modulator will truncate the
on-time and/or extend the off-time of the PWM pulse in
progress. The period and duty cycle of the ensuing PWM
pulses are optimized by the R3 modulator for the remainder

The polarity of the output inductor current is defined as
positive when conducting away from the phase node, and
defined as negative when conducting towards the phase
node. The DC component of the inductor current is positive,
but the AC component known as the ripple current, can be
either positive or negative. Should the sum of the AC and
DC components of the inductor current remain positive for
the entire switching period, the converter is in
continuous-conduction-mode (CCM.) However, if the
inductor current becomes negative or zero, the converter is
in discontinuous-conduction-mode (DCM.)
Unlike the standard DC/DC buck regulator, the synchronous
rectifier can sink current from the output filter inductor during
DCM, reducing the light-load efficiency with unnecessary
conduction loss as the low-side MOSFET sinks the inductor
current. The ISL62871 and ISL62872 controllers avoid the
DCM conduction loss by making the low-side MOSFET
emulate the current-blocking behavior of a diode. This
smart-diode operation called diode-emulation-mode (DEM)
is triggered when the negative inductor current produces a
positive voltage drop across the rDS(ON) of the low-side
MOSFET for eight consecutive PWM cycles while the
LGATE pin is high. The converter will exit DEM on the next
PWM pulse after detecting a negative voltage across the
rDS(ON) of the low-side MOSFET.
It is characteristic of the R3 architecture for the PWM
switching frequency to decrease while in DCM, increasing
efficiency by reducing unnecessary gate-driver switching
losses. The extent of the frequency reduction is proportional
to the reduction of load current. Upon entering DEM, the
PWM frequency is forced to fall approximately 30% by
forcing a similar increase of the window voltage V W. This
measure is taken to prevent oscillating between modes at
the boundary between CCM and DCM. The 30% increase of
VW is removed upon exit of DEM, forcing the PWM switching
frequency to jump back to the nominal CCM value.
Power-On Reset
The IC is disabled until the voltage at the VCC pin has
increased above the rising power-on reset (POR) threshold
voltage VVCC_THR. The controller will become disabled
when the voltage at the VCC pin decreases below the falling
POR threshold voltage VVCC_THF. The POR detector has a
noise filter of approximately 1µs.
16
VIN and PVCC Voltage Sequence
Prior to pulling EN above the VENTHR rising threshold
voltage, the following criteria must be met:
- VPVCC is at least equivalent to the VCC rising power-on
reset voltage VVCC_THR
- VVIN must be 3.3V or the minimum required by the
application
Start-Up Timing
Once VCC has ramped above VVCC_THR, the controller can
be enabled by pulling the EN pin voltage above the
input-high threshold VENTHR. Approximately 20µs later, the
voltage at the SREF pin begins slewing to the designated
VID set-point. The converter output voltage at the FB
feedback pin follows the voltage at the SREF pin. During
soft-start, The regulator always operates in CCM until the
soft-start sequence is complete.
PGOOD Monitor
The PGOOD pin indicates when the converter is capable of
supplying regulated voltage. The PGOOD pin is an
undefined impedance if the VCC pin has not reached the
rising POR threshold VVCC_THR, or if the VCC pin is below
the falling POR threshold VVCC_THF. The PGOOD
pull-down resistance corresponds to a specific protective
fault, thereby reducing troubleshooting time and effort.
Table 3 maps the pull-down resistance of the PGOOD pin to
the corresponding fault status of the controller.

LGATE and UGATE MOSFET Gate-Drivers
The LGATE pin and UGATE pins are MOSFET driver
outputs. The LGATE pin drives the low-side MOSFET of the
converter while the UGATE pin drives the high-side
MOSFET of the converter.
The LGATE driver is optimized for low duty-cycle
applications where the low-side MOSFET experiences long
conduction times. In this environment, the low-side
MOSFETs require exceptionally low rDS(ON) and tend to
have large parasitic charges that conduct transient currents
within the devices in response to high dv/dt switching
present at the phase node. The drain-gate charge in
particular can conduct sufficient current through the driver
pull-down resistance that the VGS(th) of the device can be
exceeded and turned on. For this reason the LGATE driver
has been designed with low pull-down resistance and high
sink current capability to ensure clamping the MOSFETs
gate voltage below VGS(th).

Adaptive Shoot-Through Protection
Adaptive shoot-through protection prevents a gate-driver
output from turning on until the opposite gate-driver output
has fallen below approximately 1V. The dead-time shown in
Figure 12 is extended by the additional period that the falling
gate voltage remains above the 1V threshold. The high-side
gate-driver output voltage is measured across the UGATE
and PHASE pins while the low-side gate-driver output
voltage is measured across the LGATE and PGND pins. The
power for the LGATE gate-driver is sourced directly from the
PVCC pin. The power for the UGATE gate-driver is supplied
by a boot-strap capacitor connected across the BOOT and
PHASE pins. The capacitor is charged each time the phase
node voltage falls a diode drop below PVCC such as when
the low-side MOSFET is turned on.

This design guide is intended to provide a high-level

power converter. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with
many of the basic skills and techniques referenced in the
following. In addition to this guide, Intersil provides complete
reference designs that include schematics, bills of materials,
and example board layouts.
Selecting the LC Output Filter
The duty cycle of an ideal buck converter is a function of the
input and the output voltage. This relationship is expressed
in Equation 30:
VO
D = --------V IN
(EQ. 30)
The output inductor peak-to-peak ripple current is expressed
in Equation 31:
VO ⋅ ( 1 – D )
I P-P = ------------------------------F SW ⋅ L
(EQ. 31)
A typical step-down DC/DC converter will have an IPP of
20% to 40% of the maximum DC output load current. The
value of IP-P is selected based upon several criteria such as
MOSFET switching loss, inductor core loss, and the resistive
loss of the inductor winding. The DC copper loss of the
inductor can be estimated using Equation 32:
2
P COPPER = I LOAD ⋅ DCR
(EQ. 32)
Where, ILOAD is the converter output DC current.
The copper loss can be significant so attention has to be
given to the DCR selection. Another factor to consider when
choosing the inductor is its saturation characteristics at
elevated temperature. A saturated inductor could cause

FN6707.0
August 14, 2008
ISL62871, ISL62872
A DC/DC buck regulator must have output capacitance CO
into which ripple current IP-P can flow. Current IP-P develops
a corresponding ripple voltage VP-P across CO, which is the
sum of the voltage drop across the capacitor ESR and of the
voltage change stemming from charge moved in and out of
the capacitor. These two voltages are expressed in
Equations 33 and 34:
ΔV ESR = I P-P ⋅ E SR
(EQ. 33)
I P-P
ΔΔV C = --------------------------------8 ⋅ CO ⋅ F
(EQ. 34)
SW
If the output of the converter has to support a load with high
pulsating current, several capacitors will need to be paralleled
to reduce the total ESR until the required VP-P is achieved.
The inductance of the capacitor can cause a brief voltage dip
if the load transient has an extremely high slew rate. Low
inductance capacitors should be considered. A capacitor
dissipates heat as a function of RMS current and frequency.
Be sure that IP-P is shared by a sufficient quantity of paralleled
capacitors so that they operate below the maximum rated
RMS current at FSW. Take into account that the rated value of
a capacitor can fade as much as 50% as the DC voltage
across it increases.
Selection of the Input Capacitor
The important parameters for the bulk input capacitance are
the voltage rating and the RMS current rating. For reliable
operation, select bulk capacitors with voltage and current
ratings above the maximum input voltage and capable of
supplying the RMS current required by the switching circuit.
Their voltage rating should be at least 1.25x greater than the
maximum input voltage, while a voltage rating of 1.5x is a
preferred rating. Figure 14 is a graph of the input RMS ripple
current, normalized relative to output load current, as a
function of duty cycle that is adjusted for converter efficiency.
The ripple current calculation is written as Equation 35:

capacitance is recommended to decouple between the drain

MOSFET.

Selecting The Bootstrap Capacitor
Adding an external capacitor across the BOOT and PHASE
pins completes the bootstrap circuit. We selected the
bootstrap capacitor breakdown voltage to be at least 10V.
Although the theoretical maximum voltage of the capacitor is
PVCC-VDIODE (voltage drop across the boot diode), large
excursions below ground by the phase node requires we
select a capacitor with at least a breakdown rating of 10V. The
bootstrap capacitor can be chosen from Equation 37:
Q GATE
C BOOT ≥ -----------------------ΔV BOOT
(EQ. 37)
Where:
- QGATE is the amount of gate charge required to fully
charge the gate of the upper MOSFET
- ΔVBOOT is the maximum decay across the BOOT
capacitor
As an example, suppose an upper MOSFET has a gate
charge, QGATE , of 25nC at 5V and also assume the droop in
the drive voltage over a PWM cycle is 200mV. One will find that
a bootstrap capacitance of at least 0.125µF is required. The
next larger standard value capacitance is 0.15µF. A good
quality ceramic capacitor such as X7R or X5R is
recommended.
- IMAX is the maximum continuous ILOAD of the converter
- x is a multiplier (0 to 1) corresponding to the inductor
peak-to-peak ripple amplitude expressed as a

the efficiency of the converter

Driver Power Dissipation
MOSFET Selection and Considerations
Switching power dissipation in the driver is mainly a function
of the switching frequency and total gate charge of the
selected MOSFETs. Calculating the power dissipation in the
driver for a desired application is critical to ensuring safe
operation. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation level will push the IC beyond the maximum
recommended operating junction temperature of +125°C.
When designing the application, it is recommended that the
following calculation be performed to ensure safe operation
at the desired frequency for the selected MOSFETs. The
power dissipated by the drivers is approximated as
Equation 38:
Typically, a MOSFET cannot tolerate even brief excursions
beyond their maximum drain to source voltage rating. The
MOSFETs used in the power stage of the converter should
have a maximum VDS rating that exceeds the sum of the
upper voltage tolerance of the input power source and the
voltage spike that occurs when the MOSFET switches off.
P = F sw ( 1.5V U Q + V L Q ) + P L + P U
U
L
(EQ. 38)
Where:
-
Fsw is the switching frequency of the PWM signal
VU is the upper gate driver bias supply voltage
VL is the lower gate driver bias supply voltage
QU is the charge to be delivered by the upper driver into
the gate of the MOSFET and discrete capacitors
- QL is the charge to be delivered by the lower driver into
the gate of the MOSFET and discrete capacitors
- PL is the quiescent power consumption of the lower
driver
- PU is the quiescent power consumption of the upper
driver
There are several power MOSFETs readily available that are
optimized for DC/DC converter applications. The preferred
high-side MOSFET emphasizes low switch charge so that
the device spends the least amount of time dissipating
power in the linear region. Unlike the low-side MOSFET
which has the drain-source voltage clamped by its body
diode during turn-off, the high-side MOSFET turns off with
VIN - VOUT, plus the spike, across it. The preferred low-side
MOSFET emphasizes low r DS(ON) when fully saturated to
minimize conduction loss.
For the low-side MOSFET, (LS), the power loss can be
assumed to be conductive only and is written as
Equation 39:
2
P CON_LS ≈ I LOAD ⋅ r DS ( ON )_LS ⋅ ( 1 – D )
(EQ. 39)
For the high-side MOSFET, (HS), its conduction loss is
written as Equation 40:
2
P CON_HS = I LOAD ⋅ r DS ( ON )_HS ⋅ D
(EQ. 40)
For the high-side MOSFET, its switching loss is written as

Layout Considerations
The IC, analog signals, and logic signals should all be on the
same side of the PCB, located away from powerful emission
sources. The power conversion components should be
arranged in a manner similar to the example in Figure 17
where the area enclosed by the current circulating through
the input capacitors, high-side MOSFETs, and low-side
MOSFETs is as small as possible and all located on the
same side of the PCB. The power components can be
located on either side of the PCB relative to the IC.

VCC and PVCC Pins
Place the decoupling capacitors as close as practical to the
IC. In particular, the PVCC decoupling capacitor should have
a very short and wide connection to the PGND pin. The VCC
decoupling capacitor should not share any vias with the
PVCC decoupling capacitor.

These are logic signals that are referenced to the GND pin.

OCSET and VO Pins
The current-sensing network consisting of ROCSET, RO, and
CSEN needs to be connected to the inductor pads for
accurate measurement of the DCR voltage drop. These
components however, should be located physically close to
the OCSET and VO pins with traces leading back to the
inductor. It is critical that the traces are shielded by the
ground plane layer all the way to the inductor pads. The
procedure is the same for resistive current sense.

The input impedance of these pins is high, making it critical
to place the loop compensation components, setpoint
reference programming resistors, feedback voltage divider
resistors, and CSOFT close to the IC, keeping the length of
the traces short.
LGATE, PGND, UGATE, BOOT, and PHASE Pins
Signal Ground
The GND pin is the signal-common also known as analog
ground of the IC. When laying out the PCB, it is very
important that the connection of the GND pin to the bottom
setpoint-reference programming-resistor, bottom feedback
voltage-divider resistor (if used), and the CSOFT capacitor
be made as close as possible to the GND pin on a conductor
not shared by any other components.
In addition to the critical single point connection discussed in
the previous paragraph, the ground plane layer of the PCB
should have a single-point-connected island located under
the area encompassing the IC, setpoint reference
programming components, feedback voltage divider
components, compensation components, CSOFT capacitor,
and the interconnecting traces among the components and
the IC. The island should be connected using several filled
vias to the rest of the ground plane layer at one point that is
not in the path of either large static currents or high di/dt
currents. The single connection point should also be where
the VCC decoupling capacitor and the GND pin of the IC are
connected.
20
The signals going through these traces are high dv/dt and
high di/dt, with high peak charging and discharging current.
The PGND pin can only flow current from the gate-source
charge of the low-side MOSFETs when LGATE goes low.
Ideally, route the trace from the LGATE pin in parallel with
the trace from the PGND pin, route the trace from the
UGATE pin in parallel with the trace from the PHASE pin,
and route the trace from the BOOT pin in parallel with the
trace from the PHASE pin. These pairs of traces should be
short, wide, and away from other traces with high input
impedance; weak signal traces should not be in proximity
with these traces on any layer.
Copper Size for the Phase Node
The parasitic capacitance and parasitic inductance of the
phase node should be kept very low to minimize ringing. It is
best to limit the size of the PHASE node copper in strict
accordance with the current and thermal management of the
application. An MLCC should be connected directly across
the drain of the upper MOSFET and the source of the lower
MOSFET to suppress the turn-off voltage spike.
