See the Fault Circuit description in the Application Information section for more detail Picor Corporation • picorpower.com PI2127 Rev 1.3 Page 4 of 19 Functional Description: The PI2127 integrated Cool-ORing product takes advantage of two different technologies combining an 8.5mΩ on-state resistance (RDS(on)) N-channel MOSFET with high density control circuitry. This combination provides superior density, minimizing PCB space to achieve an ideal ORing diode function, significantly reducing power dissipation and eliminating the need for heat sinking, while minimizing design complexity. The reverse comparator will hold the gate low until the SP pin is 6mV higher than the SN pin. The reverse comparator hysteresis is shown in Figure 3. The PI2127’s 8.5mΩ on-state resistance MOSFET used in the conduction path enables a dramatic reduction in power dissipation versus the performance of a diode used in conventional ORing applications due to its high forward voltage drop. Due to the inherent characteristics of the MOSFET, current will flow in the forward and reverse directions while the gate remains above the gate threshold voltage. Ideal ORing applications should not allow reverse current flow, so the controller has to be capable of very fast and accurate detection of reverse current caused by input power source failures, and very fast turn off of the gate of the MOSFET. Once the gate voltage falls below the gate threshold, the MOSFET is off and the body diode will be reverse biased preventing reverse current flow and subsequent excessive voltage droop on the redundant bus. Figure 3: Reverse comparator hysteresis: VSP - VSN Forward Voltage Comparator: FWD The FWD comparator detects when a forward voltage condition exists and SP is above 275mV (typical) positive with respect to SN. When SP-SN is more than 275mV, the FWD comparator will assert the Fault ( FT ) low to report a fault condition. Internal Voltage Regulator: The PI2127 control circuitry and the gate driver are biased through the S pin. An internal regulator clamps the S voltage (VS-PG ) to 11.7V. The internal regulator circuit has a comparator to monitor S input with respect to the PG pin and pulls the MOSFET GATE low when VS-PG is lower than the UnderVoltage Threshold. Differential Amplifier: The PI2127 integrates a high-speed low offset voltage differential amplifier to sense the difference between the Sense Positive (SP) pin voltage and Sense Negative (SN) pin voltage with high sensitivity to fault current. The amplifier output is connected to the Reverse and Forward comparators. Reverse Current Comparator: RVS The reverse current comparator provides the critical function in the controller, detecting negative voltage caused by reverse current. Gate drive is enabled when SP is 6mV higher than SN. When the SN pin is 6mV higher than the SP pin, the reverse comparator will force the gate discharge circuit to turn off the MOSFET in typically 80ns and assert the Fault ( FT ) low to report a fault condition.

Replacing a traditional diode with a PI2127 will result in significant power dissipation reduction as well as board space reduction, efficiency improvement and additional protection features. This section describes in detail the procedure to follow when designing with the PI2127 Active ORing solution. CLM). RPG should be connected between PG pin and ground (VS return). Minimize the resistor value for low S voltage levels to avoid a voltage drop that may reduce VS-PG lower than required. Select the value of RPG using the following equations: R PG = V S − min − V S − PGMax I VC max + 0.1mA Control Circuitry Bias: The PI2127 control circuitry and the gate driver for the internal MOSFET are biased through the S pin. An internal regulator clamps the S pin voltage (VS-PG) to 11.7V typically. RPG maximum power dissipation: A bias resistor (RPG) is required if the voltage at the S pin is higher than the minimum Voltage Clamp (VS- VS −max : S pin maximum applied voltage VS − PGMax : Controller maximum clamp voltage, 12.5V Picor Corporation • picorpower.com Pd RPG = Where: VS − min : PI2127 (V S − max − V S − PGMin ) 2 R PG S pin minimum applied voltage Rev 1.3 Page 10 of 19 V S − PGMin : Controller minimum clamp voltage, 11V I VC max : Controller maximum bias current, use 2.0mA 0.1mA : 0.1mA is added for margin R LIMIT = VZ _ MIN : Minimum Zener diode voltage V BE (on) : Q1 Base-Emitter On maximum voltage, for default use V BE (on) =0.7V V S min − V S − PGMax 40V − 12.5V = = 13.1kΩ 2.1mA IC max + 0.1mA PdR PG = I VC _ MAX Where: Example: 40V <VS-PG <50V R PG = V Z _ MIN − V BE (on) Zener Diode Selection: Select a Zener diode with a low reverse current requirement to minimize RZ. Zener diodes with higher break down voltage will have lower reverse current and reduce Q1 collector current variation. Zener diodes with a breakdown voltage of 6V and higher will require low bias current for accurate voltage breakdown. (V S − max − V S − PGMin ) 2 (50V − 11V )2 = = 116mW R PG 13.1kΩ Alternative Bias Circuit with Device Enable: Constant current circuit In a wide operating input voltage range the size of RPG may be become large to support power dissipation. A simple constant current circuit can be used instead of RPG to reduce power dissipation and can be used as a device enable. RZ maximum value can be calculated with the following equation: Note that the surface mount resistors have limited operating voltage capability. Be sure to pick a resistor package that can meet the maximum operating voltage (Vin). As shown in Figure 20, the constant current circuit consists of an NPN transistor (Q1), Zener diode DZ, current limit resistor (RLIMIT) and Zener bias resistor (RZ). RLIMIT and RZ can be very low power resistors and Q1 is a signal transistor where its CollectorEmitter Voltage (VCEO) is equal or greater than the input operating voltage and supports 2.5mA at the operating input voltage. RZ = Vin _ MIN − V Z _ MAX I Z + I B _ MAX Where: Vin _ MIN : Min input voltage VZ _ MAX : Zener diode maximum breakdown voltage IZ : Zener diode required reverse current I B _ MAX : Q1 required maximum base current which calculated from the following equation: I B _ MAX = I C _ MAX hFE _ MIN I C _ MAX : Q1 maximum expected collector current. Figure 20: Constant current bias circuit hFE _ MIN : Q1 minimum gain. Pulling the Q1 base (EN) to the system return (RTN) will turn off the transistor and the controller return (PG pin) will float and eventually the MOSFET will be turned off. An open collector device can be used to enable and disable the PI2127. Internal N-Channel MOSFET BVDSS: The PI2127’s internal N-Channel MOSFET breakdown voltage (BVDSS) is rated for 60V at 25°C and will degrade to 55.5V at -40°C, refer to Figure 10. Drain to source voltage should not exceed BVDSS in nominal operation. During a fast switching transient the MOSFET can tolerate voltages higher than its BVDSS rating under avalanche conditions, refer to the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. The constant current circuit should guarantee current greater than the PI2127 maximum Quiescent current (IVC), 2.0mA. RLIMIT can be calculated from the following equation: In Active ORing applications when one of the input power sources is shorted, a large reverse current is Picor Corporation • picorpower.com PI2127 Rev 1.3 Page 11 of 19 sourced from the load through the MOSFET. Depending on the output impedance of the system and the parasitic inductance, the reverse current in the MOSFET may exceed the source pulsed current rating (150A) just before the PI2127 MOSFET is turned off. The PI2127 internal MOSFET power dissipation can be calculated with the following equation: The peak current during an input short condition is calculated as follows, assuming that the output has very low impedance and it is not a limiting factor: Pd MOSFET : MOSFET power dissipation I PEAK Pd MOSFET = Is 2 ∗ R DS ( on ) Where: Is: RDS(on): VS : Peak current in PI2127 MOSFET before it is turned off. Input voltage or load voltage at S pin before The Junction Temperature rise is a function of power dissipation and thermal resistance. input short condition did occur. Reverse fault to MOSFET turn-off time. t RVS : LPARASITIC :Circuit parasitic inductance Trise= RθJA ∗ PdMOSFET = RθJA ∗ Is 2 ∗ RDS(on) Where: RθJA : The high peak current during an input short and before the MOSFET turns off, stores energy in the circuit parasitic inductance, and as soon as the MOSFET turns off, the stored energy will be released and this will produce a high negative voltage and ringing at the MOSFET source. At the same time the energy stored at the drain side of the internal MOSFET will be released and produce a voltage higher than the load voltage. This event will create a high voltage difference between the drain and source of the MOSFET. The MOSFET will avalanche, but this avalanche will not affect the MOSFET performance because the PI2127 has a fast response time to the input fault condition and the stored energy will be well below the MOSFET avalanche capability. This may require iteration to get to the final junction temperature. Figure 13 and Figure 16 show the PI2127 internal MOSFET final junction temperature curves versus conducted current at maximum RDS(on), given ambient temperatures and air flow. Fault Circuit: FT is an open collector pin and should be pulled up to the logic voltage via a resistor (10KΩ). An internal level shift circuit is implemented to change the PI2127 controller fault output reference from the PG pin voltage level to the GND pin voltage level. The level shift circuit is biased from the D pin to stay active when the bias voltage at S pin is not available. In the event of an input short fault condition, the S pin will be pulled low (ground) and the PI2127 control circuit will lose its bias voltage. If the output voltage is supplied from a redundant source, then the level shifter stays biased and the FT pin will be pulled low to indicate that the MOSFET is in the OFF condition. 1.3 * BV DSS 1 2 * * L PARASITIC * I PEAK 2 1.3 * BV DSS − V S Where: E AS : Avalanche energy BVDSS : MOSFET breakdown voltage (60V) During start-up and before the output voltage is established, the FT pin will be floating until the approximately 4.5V is present at the S pin or at D pin. Thereafter the FT pin is pulled low and stays low until the PI2127 controller bias voltage VS-PG increases above the controller Under-Voltage Threshold (VSUVR) and no fault conditions are present. Once this Power dissipation: In Active ORing circuits the MOSFET is always on in steady state operation and the power dissipation is derived from the total source current and the on-state resistance of the MOSFET. Picor Corporation • picorpower.com Junction-to-Ambient thermal resistance (45°C/Watt) MOSFET avalanche during input short is calculated as follows: E AS = MOSFET on-state resistance Note: For the worst case condition, calculate with maximum rated RDS(on) at the MOSFET maximum operating junction temperature because RDS(on) is temperature dependent. Refer to Figure 11 for normalized RDS(on) values over temperature. The PI2127 maximum RDS(on) at 25°C is 11mΩ and will increase by 43% at 125°C junction temperature. V *t = S RVS LPARASITIC Where: I PEAK : Source Current PI2127 Rev 1.3 Page 12 of 19 The level shift circuit worst case power dissipation during input short is: happens, the MOSFET is turned on and the FT pin will be high resistance to indicate that the MOSFET is in RDS(on) with no fault conditions existing. Pd = Note that in case of an input fault condition, where the S pin is at ground and the output (D pin and SN pin) are at a high voltage there will be two current paths, one path from D pin to GND and the other path from SN pin to SP. The thermal resistance and power dissipation of the level shift circuit will limit the voltage applied at the D pin during a shorted input condition. When the PCB temperature exceeds 110°C, the applied voltage must be derated according to Figure 21. The plot in Figure 21 is calculated using the worst case power dissipation during an input short with RθJ-PCB= 100°C/W. The current path from D pin to GND and S pins is due to the level shift circuit and will draw current from the output as a function of the voltage between D pin and GND (VD-GND) based on the following equation: I D − FLT = Where: I D − FLT : (V D −GND − 0.5V ) 2 15kΩ V D −GND − 0.5V 15kΩ V D −GND : Maximum D pin current during input short fault condition Voltage difference between the D pin and ground. The current path from SN pin to S pin is a function of the SN voltage based on the following equation: I SN _ FLT = V SN −GND − 12V R PAR Where: I SN _ FLT : SN current during input short fault condition Figure 21: Level shift circuit applied voltage de-rating (valid during an input short fault condition as a function of PCB Temperature) V SN −GND : Voltage difference between SN pin (or load R PAR : voltage) and ground.

An 0805 (2012) will support the power requirement. Figure 22: Example 1 final MOSFET junction temperature at 9A/60°C TA Reverse Current Threshold: The following procedure demonstrates how to calculate the minimum required reverse current in the internal MOSFET to generate a reverse fault condition and turn off the internal MOSFET. FT pin: Connect FT pin to the logic input and to the logic power supply via a resistor, as required for the proper input level of the supervisor functions. Power Dissipation and Junction Temperature: First use Figure 13 (Junction Temperature vs. Input Current) to find the final junction temperature for 9A load current at 60°C ambient temperature. In Figure 13 (illustrated in Figure 22) draw a vertical line from 9A to intersect the 60°C ambient temperature line. At the intersection draw a horizontal line towards the Yaxis (Junction Temperature). The Junction Temperature at maximum load current (9A) and 60°C ambient is 115°C. At maximum junction temperature (115°C) and maximum RDS(on): Is.reverse = Peak current under input short is: At typical response time: RDS(on) is 11mΩ maximum at 25°C and will increase as the Junction temperature increases.

Layout Recommendation: Use the following general guidelines when designing printed circuit boards. An example of the typical land pattern for the PI2127 is shown in Figure 25: • Make sure to have a solid ground (return) plane to reduce circuit parasitic. • Connect all S pads together with a wide trace to reduce trace parasitics to accommodate the high current input, and also connect all D pads together with a wide trace to accommodate the high current output. • Connect the SP pin to the S pins and connect the SN pin to D pins as shown in Figure 25. • Figure 25: PI2127 layout recommendation Use 1oz of copper or thicker if possible to reduce trace resistance and reduce power dissipation.
