MIC2111B Functional Description This slope compensation ramp is then added to comp signal to avoid sub-harmonic oscillations for duty cycles of less than 50%. The MIC2111B is a pin-programmable control-mode, single-phase PWM buck controller. The control mode can be programmed to either valley current mode or voltage mode through a single pin. The device provides the control and protection features necessary for driving intelligent power stages in high-current, step-down, DC/DC converters. The MIC2111B is also compatible with DrMOS power stages and drivers that use current sensing across the inductor. The MIC2111B provides a single tri-state, PWM logic signal that works with either power-stage modules or discrete-driver MOSFETs. It has precision enable and power good (PG) functions for sequencing of multiple power supplies and its frequency can be programmed from 200kHz to 2MHz thereby optimizing system size and system efficiency. Calculation of RSLOPE can be found in the Application Information section. Voltage Mode The MIC2111B can also be configured as voltage-mode control scheme for noise sensitive applications. Controlloop compensation is external for providing maximum flexibility in choosing the operating frequency and output LC filter components. Ramp is generated by connecting a resistor between VIN and SLOPE. An internal transconductance error amplifier produces an integrated error voltage at COMP that helps to provide higher DC accuracy. The voltage at COMP sets the duty cycle using a PWM comparator and a ramp generator. On the rising edge of an internal clock, the PWM turns on. During this ON time, inductor current ramps up. Internal comparator turn OFF PWM once appropriate duty cycle is reached. During this time inductor releases the stored energy as the inductor current ramps down, providing current to the output. The device supports power-saving mode at light loads when the MODE pin of the power stage is connected to GND. Optional outside audio range operation is also possible when the power stage is configured in light load mode. The MIC2111B uses differential current sensing for better current-limit accuracy. It also uses a dedicated differential amplifier for remote output sensing to achieve accurate output voltage control. The MIC2111B has a high-gain transconductance amplifier for easier loop compensation. External slope compensation can be added through a resistor to avoid sub-harmonic oscillations. The MIC2111B has programmable OCP, output OVP and thermal OTP protections and offers Micrel’s proprietary bi-directional, single-wire fault communication for total system protection. Oscillator Frequency The MIC2111B has an internal oscillator wherein the frequency can be set through an external resistor at the FREQ pin. The switching frequency can be programmed from 200kHz to 2MHz using Equation 1: 11 Control Architecture The MIC2111B is a pin-programmable multi-mode, single-phase PWM buck controller that can be operated under valley-current-mode and voltage-mode control architectures. RFREQ = 10 /FSW [Ω] Where: FSW = Desired switching frequency in Hz. Valley Current Mode When MIC2111B is programmed to a fixed-frequency, valley current mode control architecture, the inductor current is sensed by the voltage drop measured across the DCR of the inductor (MIC2111B). The current is sensed during the off period of the switching cycle and is conditioned with the internal current sense amplifier. The gain of the current sense amplifier is 30 V/V. The output signal of the current sense amplifier is compared with the current programmed by the error amplifier to determine the correct duty cycle. Slope compensation is added via a resistor between VIN and the SLOPE pin. The MIC2111B generates a (VIN –VOUT) proportional current and passes it through a capacitor to generate the slope compensation ramp. October 13, 2015 Eq. 1 PWM Modes and Logic Levels There are multiple versions of power stages currently on the market that support different load currents. These include DrMOS and other intelligent power-stages. All these power stages contain a MOSFET driver, high-side and low-side MOSFETs. These power stages require a single tri-stated PWM control signal for control and protection (Table 1). 14 Revision 2.1 Micrel, Inc. MIC2111B Table 1. PWM Truth Table LS HS High-Side FET Low-Side FET Switch Node 0 0 OFF ON to OFF Diode Emulation 0 1 ON OFF High X Tri-State OFF OFF Tri-State (Pre-Bias/ Fault Shutdown) 1 0 OFF ON Low 1 1 ON OFF High Current limit can be programmed through an external resistor connected at the LS pin. The MIC2111B provides two selectable current-limit thresholds. During start-up, a current source of 8µA is injected into the external resistor connected between the LS pin and GND. The voltage developed across the resistor is measured as part of the power-up sequence and the current threshold determined as illustrated in Table 2. Once the voltage has been measured, the current source is turned off. If LS is connected to the MODE pin of DrMOS, current-limit setting resistance must be adjusted for the input resistance of the MODE pin. Many high-current applications require hiccup mode protection for current limit because they can see peak load currents for a very short duration. The MIC2111B uses a proprietary hiccup current-limit algorithm to avoid inductor saturation. An internal counter increments by two in each cycle over current is detected, and decrements by one each cycle when the current is not over the limit. When the counter reaches 16, the part will shut down and wait for 8ms before restarting again (Figure 2 and Figure 3). The MIC2111B will output a PWM signal on the HS pin with levels of 0 (turn on the low-side driver) and 1 (turn on the high-side driver). HS will be turned high-impedance (tri-state) when a fault condition exists which should be interpreted by the power stage to turn-off both the highside driver and low-side driver. MIC2111B supports 3.3V logic-compatible PWM thresholds on HS. These levels can found in the “Oscillator and PWM” section within the Electrical Characteristics. Programmable Current-Limit and Hiccup Mode MIC2111B has a dedicated current-sense amplifier and can support high load currents up to 40A in single-phase configuration. The MIC2111B also features differential current sense input pins (ISEN+ and ISEN−). E24 Range Resistance MIC2111B Current-Limit Threshold 88kΩ 23.3mV 63kΩ 18.3mV With the MIC2111B, it is possible to sense current across inductor DCRs for low-cost applications. As the DCR of the inductor will be less than 1mΩ for a high-current application, the MIC2111B features a current-sense amplifier with a gain of 30V/V. This amplified signal is used for control and cycle-by-cycle current limit. These high-current applications need thermal compensation from the current-sense signal because of DCR variation with temperature. External thermal compensation could be provided using a NTC resistor in series with the RC across the inductor. See Application Information for more details about thermal compensation and filter calculations. October 13, 2015 15 Revision 2.1 Micrel, Inc. MIC2111B Table 2.

Hiccup Limit Flow Chart October 13, 2015 17 Revision 2.1 Micrel, Inc. MIC2111B VCC Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) The MIC2111B operates from a single 3.3V or 5V supply and has only 2mA of quiescent current. When bias voltage at VCC is less than the under-voltage lockout (UVLO) level of 2.85V, HS will be high impedance to drive both MOSFETs to tri-state. UVLO has 100mV hysteresis to avoid an undesirable turn-on. If the same supply voltage is used for the power module and the MIC2111B, it is recommended to use a series RC filter (1Ω and 1µF) for MIC2111B bypassing. Soft-Start/Soft-Stop (SS) The MIC2111B has digital soft-start/soft-stop (SS) to avoid high inrush current in the input supply lines. Softstart time can be programmed with an external resistor connected from the SS pin to GND. Table 3 illustrates resistor values and soft start time. Soft-stop time is the same as the programmed soft-start time (contact Micrel for instructions on enabling soft-stop). Table 3. Soft-Start Programming Enable/Disable (EN) Control The precision EN pin is used to enable or disable the MIC2111B. The typical threshold is 1.2V. When the voltage at EN rises above the threshold, the controller is enabled and starts normal operation after initialization of the internal oscillator, references, current-limit settings, and the soft-start period. The MIC2111B has initialization delay of 250µs before the PWM output starts. When the voltage at EN drops 100mV or more (hysteresis) below the threshold voltage, then the internal controller circuits in the MIC2111B are turned off. It is possible to use the EN pin for sequencing multiple power supplies along with power-good (PG) pin. Do not float the EN pin. An external RC delay may be added to achieve sequencing.

External pull-up resistance is required between PG and an external voltage. When the feedback voltage, VFB, rises above the PG threshold the PG output is pulled high after a delay of 200μs (contact Micrel for other PG delays). Bi-Directional Fault Communication (FAULTb) The MIC2111B adopts Micrel’s proprietary fault (FAULTb) communication protocol. There are multiple system faults possible in a high-current environment. The MIC2111B features internal pull-up of 100kΩ between the VCC and FAULTb pin. October 13, 2015 18 Revision 2.1 Micrel, Inc. MIC2111B Figure 4. Typical System Soft-Start Figure 5. Typical Soft-Stop October 13, 2015 19 Revision 2.1 Micrel, Inc. MIC2111B Light Load Operation (DCM) The MIC2111B supports pulse-skip mode for good light efficiency. Connecting the MODE or SMOD# pin of the power module to GND is required to enable the light-load mode. To avoid discharging the output during light-load mode, the power module zero current detector disables the low-side FET once inductor current reaches zero. The MIC2111B generates the next PWM signal based on COMP voltage. This will cause discontinuous conduction mode at the switch node as shown below. Figure 7. Outside Audio Waveform Output Overvoltage Protection (OVP) The MIC2111B has a dedicated pin for overvoltage protection (OVP). The OVP pin senses the output voltage through a voltage divider. If this voltage is higher than the reference voltage, the overvoltage protection engages and FAULTb is pulled low. This OVP function typically protects against open feedback loop or VFB short-to-GND. This will protect the costly load from being damaged by the DC/DC converter. The OVP level can be programmed through a resistive divider at the OVP pin as follows. Select R4 same as lower feedback resistor. R1 can be calculated based upon required OVP level as illustrated in Equation 1 and Figure 8. Figure 6. Light Load Operation (DCM) Outside Audio Operation Some systems require outside audio operation during light-load mode. When the system load reduces during light-load mode, the system will change from CCM to DCM and, as the load reduces further, the switching frequency reduces as well. If the effective switching frequency reduces below a certain threshold, the MIC2111B will enter outside audio mode, attempting to maintain the effective switching frequency above the audio band. For the outside audio mode to function, the LS output of the MIC2111B must be connected to the MODE pin of the DrMOS. While in this mode, if the MIC2111B detects that the period between HS pulses is longer than 32µs it forces LS a logic-1, which turns on the low-side driver. This results in current flowing from the output capacitor through the inductor and low-side MOSFET. This can cause the output voltage to fall and initiate a PWM cycle with HS going high and LS going low. − 0.6 V V R1 = R 4 × OUT 0 . 6 V Eq. 1 Figure 8. OVP Programming After the OVP fault is triggered, the system will be shut down and latched off. It is required to cycle either VCC or EN for enabling the converter. October 13, 2015 20 Revision 2.1 Micrel, Inc. MIC2111B Temperature Sense Input The MIC2111B has a dedicated input for thermal sense from intelligent power stages. The temperature sense pin (TJ) senses the voltage divided from thermal sense signal and sends it to the comparator. If this voltage is higher than the reference voltage, the thermal shutdown engages and FAULTb is pulled low. Thermal shutdown threshold can be programmed through a resistive divider from TJ. − 0.6 V V R1 = R 4 × TSENSE 0.6 V Eq. 2 Figure 9. Thermal-Shutdown Programming Output will be turned off by pulling FAULTb low after TJ fault is triggered. The fault will be released after hysteresis of 50mV is achieved. October 13, 2015 21 Revision 2.1 Micrel, Inc. MIC2111B Current Sensing and Current Limit MIC2111B has differential current-sense input with a dedicated current-sense amplifier. MIC2111BThe MIC2111B has current-sense amplifier gain of 30V/V and uses lossless inductor current sensing. This offers the advantage of lower power loss and lower cost over using a discrete resistor in series with the inductor. Application Information Programming Output Voltage with RS Amplifier Diagram The output voltage is set using a resistive voltage divider from the output of differential amplifier to FB (Figure 10). For R1, use a 1kΩ to 10kΩ resistor. Choose R4 to set the output voltage by using Equation 3. VFB R 4 = R1 × VOUT − VFB The inductor sense circuit is shown in Figure 11. It extracts the voltage drop across the inductor’s DC winding resistance. Eq. 3 Where VFB = 0.6V. Figure 11. MIC2111B Current Sensing Figure 10. Programming Output Voltage October 13, 2015 22 Revision 2.1 Micrel, Inc. MIC2111B For compensating the inductor’s DCR variation with temperature, an NTC is placed in parallel with the resistor (R7) in Figure 11. The voltage across capacitor C1 is illustrated in Equation 4: sL R +1 L VS = IL × R L × sC 1 R7 + 1 Slope Compensation Slope compensation is required in most conditions for current-mode PWM controllers. The MIC2111B applies slope compensation dependent on the system input voltage, output voltage and inductance by a single resistor. The resistor is connected between VIN and the SLOPE pin. Eq. 4 If the R7 x C1 time constant is equal to the L/RL time constant, then the voltage across capacitor C1 equals RL x IL. Figure 12 is a plot of Equation 4. It assumes an inductance of 1.5µH, RL = 0.01Ω (−40dB), C1 = 0.1µF and R7 = 1.5kΩ. The time constants are equal and diverge at the same rate. The overall impedance, H(s), equals RL for all frequencies. In VCM, 1x slope compensation is implemented by selecting the following resistor value: RSLOPE = KSLOPE × L / [(AISENAMP × RSENSE)] KSLOPE = 1.33 × 10 Ω/s L = Inductor value AISENAMP = Internal current amplifier gain 10 (30 in MIC2111B) RSENSE = External current-sense gain For low-frequency applications (less than 500kHz) and noisy systems, increasing the slope compensation by a factor of 2 is recommended. Figure 12. Current-Sense Gain/Phase Plot For a system employing the MIC2111B with inductor current sensing, the absolute current-limit threshold is: ILIM = VTHRESH R DCR Eq. 7 Here, RDCR is the inductor DC resistance. For RDCR = 1mΩ and a 23.3mV current-limit voltage threshold, the absolute current limit would be: ILIM = VTHRESH = 0.0233V /(1mΩ) = 23.3 A RDCR Eq. 8 October 13, 2015 23 Revision 2.1 Micrel, Inc. MIC2111B Loop Compensation Because slope compensation is not needed in voltage mode, the SLOPE pin is used to generate the sawtooth ramp. A 1V peak-to-peak ramp at the PWM comparator input is implemented by selecting the following resistor value: RSLOPE = KSLOPE × T × (VIN − VOUT) KSLOPE = 1.33 × 10 Ω/s T = Switching period (1/switching frequency) VIN = System input voltage VOUT = Output voltage Current Mode (Type II Method) The MIC2111B uses an internal transconductance error amplifier wherein the output compensates the control loop. The external inductor, output capacitor, slope compensation resistor and compensation network all determine the loop stability. The inductor and output capacitors are chosen based on performance, size, and cost. The MIC2111B is configured in a valley current-mode control scheme when the SEL pin is connected to AGND. In this mode, the MIC2111B regulates the output voltage by forcing the required current through the external inductor. Current-mode control eliminates the double pole in the feedback loop which is caused by the inductor and output capacitor. This will result in a smaller phase shift and requires less elaborate error-amplifier compensation than voltage-mode control. A simple series RC and CC is all that is needed to have a stable, high-bandwidth loop in applications where ceramic capacitors are used for output filtering. For other types of capacitors, due to the higher capacitance and ESR, the frequency of the zero created by the capacitance and ESR is lower than the desired closed-loop crossover frequency. To stabilize a nonceramic output-capacitor loop, one would need to add another compensation capacitor from COMP to GND as it cancels this ESR to zero. The basic regulator loop is modeled as a power modulator, an output feedback divider and an error amplifier. 10 The power modulator has DC gain (AMOD(DC)), is set by RL, (output load, equivalent resistance) with a pole and zero pair set by RL, the output capacitor (COUT) and its equivalent series resistance (RESR). Equation 9 defines the power modulator (Figure 16) Figure 13. Valley Current Mode Compensation A MOD(DC) = RL RL A CS 1+ R SLOPE 1 Eq. 9 ACS = AISENAMP × RSENSE As current-mode control separates the complex LC double pole, a pole is formed by load resistance and output capacitance. 1 2π × R L × C OUT 1 ƒ ZO = 2π × ESR × C OUT ƒ PO = Eq. 10 Figure 14. Voltage Mode Ramp Generation October 13, 2015 24 Revision 2.1 Micrel, Inc. MIC2111B The feedback voltage-divider has a gain of AFB = VFB/VOUT, where VFB is equal to 0.6V.The transconductance error amplifier has a DC gain, AEA(DC) = gmEA × RO, where gmEA is the error-amplifier transconductance, which is equal to 2ms, and RO is the output resistance of the error amplifier, which is 50MΩ. A dominant pole (ƒpdEA) is set by the compensation capacitor (CC), the amplifier output resistance (RO), and the compensation resistor (RC); a zero (ƒzEA) is set by the compensation resistor (RC) and the compensation capacitor (CC). There is an optional pole (ƒpEA) set by CCƒ and RC to cancel the output capacitor ESR zero if it occurs near the crossover frequency (ƒC): ƒ pdEA = ƒ zEA = ƒ pEA = ƒpdEA = 2p × (R O AMOD(ƒo) = AMOD(DC) × Eq. 15 Then RC and CC can be calculated as: 1 + R C ) × CC 1 2p × R C × C C ƒ PO ƒO RC = A FB gm × A MOD( ƒO ) Eq. 16 CC = 1 2π × R C × ƒ PO Eq. 17 For high-current applications, it is recommended to place CCƒ to cancel the effect of ESR zero: Eq. 11 1 2p × R C × C Cƒ 2π × (R O CCƒ = 1 + R C ) × CC 1 2π × R C × ƒ PO Eq. 18 The crossover frequency, ƒO, should be much higher than the power-modulator pole ƒPO. Also, ƒC should be less than or equal to 1/5 the switching frequency: ƒ PO < < ƒ O ≤ ƒ SW 5 Eq. 12 Choosing a lower cross-over frequency reduces the effects of noise pickup into the feedback loop, such as jittery duty cycle. At the crossover frequency, the total loop gain must equal 1, and is expressed as: AMOD(ƒo) × AEA(ƒo) × AFB = 1 Eq. 13 Mid-band gain is decided by the gm and RC: AEA(ƒo) = gm × RC Eq. 14 Where gm = 2ms. October 13, 2015 25 Revision 2.1 Micrel, Inc. MIC2111B Figure 15. Valley Current Mode Loop Compensation Figure 16. Voltage Mode Loop Compensation October 13, 2015 26 Revision 2.1 Micrel, Inc. MIC2111B Equation 22 assumes crossover frequency to be much less than half of the switching frequency. There is a sampling effect at the half switching frequency which introduces the double pole. For high crossover applications, it is recommended to run a bode plot to optimize the transient response. The loop-gain crossover frequency (fO), where the loop th gain equals 1 (0dB) should be set below 1/10 of the switching frequency as in: ƒO ≤ Voltage Mode (Type III Method) The MIC2111B provides an internal transconductance amplifier with the inverting input (FB) and the output (COMP) available for external frequency compensation. The flexibility of external compensation allows for a wide selection of output filtering components, especially the output capacitor. The use of high-ESR aluminum electrolytic capacitors is recommended for cost sensitive applications. Use low-ESR POSCAPs or ceramic capacitors at the output for size sensitive applications. The high switching frequency of the MIC2111B allows the use of ceramic capacitors at the output. Choose all passive power components to meet the output ripple, component size, and component cost requirements. Choose the compensation components for the error amplifier to achieve the desired closed-loop bandwidth and phase margin. In order to maintain a stable system, two stability criteria must be met: 1. The phase shift at the cross-over frequency (ƒO,) must be less than 180°. In other words, the phase margin of the loop must be greater than zero. 2. The gain at the frequency where the phase shift is −180° (gain margin) must be less than 1. Maintain a phase margin of around 60° to achieve a robust loop stability and well-behaved transient response. When using an electrolytic or large-ESR POSCAP output capacitor the capacitor ESR zero (ƒZO) typically occurs between the LC poles and the crossover frequency ƒO (ƒPO < ƒZO < ƒO). Choose Type II Proportional and Integral (PI) compensation network as previously specified. In a buck converter, the LC filter in the output stage introduces a pair of complex poles at the following frequency: 1 2π × L × C OUT Eq. 21 Choosing a lower cross-over frequency reduces the effects of noise pick-up into the feedback loop, such as jitter duty cycle. To choose the appropriate compensation network type, the power supply poles and zeroes, the zero crossover frequency, and the type of the output capacitor must be determined first. ƒ PO = ƒ SW 10 When using a ceramic or low-ESR tantalum output capacitor the capacitor ESR zero typically occurs above the desired crossover frequency ƒO (ƒPO < ƒZO < ƒO). Choose Type III proportional, integral, and derivative (PID) compensation network. Eq. 19 The output capacitor introduces a zero at: ƒ ZO = 1 2π × R ESR × C OUT Eq. 20 where RESR is the equivalent series resistance of the output capacitor. Figure 17. Type III Compensation Pole and Zero Locations October 13, 2015 27 Revision 2.1 Micrel, Inc. MIC2111B 3. Use the second pole (fP2) to cancel ƒZO when ƒPO < ƒO < ƒZO < ƒSW /2. The frequency response of the loop gain does not flatten out soon after the 0dB crossover, and maintains −20dB/decade slope up to 1/2 of the switching frequency. This is likely to occur if the output capacitor is a low-ESR tantalum. Set ƒP2 = ƒZO. Ensure that R2 >/gm and the parallel resistance of R1, R3, and R4 is greater than 1/gM. Otherwise, a 180° phase shift is introduced to the response making the loop unstable. Use the following compensation procedures: 1. With R9 ≥ 10kΩ, place the first zero (ƒZ1) at 0.8 × ƒPO: 1 ƒ Z1 = = 0.8 × ƒ PO 2π × R9 × C2 When using a ceramic capacitor the capacitor ESR zero fZO is likely to be located even above one half of the switching frequency, ƒPO < ƒO < ƒSW/2 < ƒZO. In this case, place the frequency of the second pole (ƒP2) high enough in order not to erode significantly the phase margin at the crossover frequency. For example, set fP2 at 5 × ƒO so that the contribution to phase loss at the crossover frequency ƒO is only about 11°: Eq. 22 So, C2 = 1 2π × R9 × 0.8 × ƒ PO Eq. 23 ƒP2 = 5 × ƒO 2. The gain of the modulator (AMOD), comprises the pulse width modulator, LC filter, feedback divider, and associated circuitry at cross-over frequency is: A MOD = VIN VRAMP × 1 (2π × ƒ O )2 × L OUT ×C OUT Once fP2 is known, calculate R1: R8 = Eq. 24 The gain of the error amplifier (AEA) in mid-band frequencies is: AEA = 2π × ƒO × C3 × R9 Eq. 29 1 Eq. 30 2π × ƒ P2 × C 3 4. Place the second zero (ƒZ2) at 0.2 × ƒO or at ƒPO, whichever is lower and calculate R1 using the following equation: Eq. 25 R5 = The total loop gain as the product of the modulator gain and the error amplifier gain at ƒO is 1: AMOD × AEA = 1 Eq. 26 1 2π × ƒ Z2 × C3 − R8 Eq. 31 5. Place the third pole (ƒP3) at 1/2 the switching frequency and calculate CCF: So, VIN VRAMP × 1 (2π × ƒ O ) 2 × COUT × L C4 = × 2πƒ O × C3 × R9 = 1 Eq. 27 October 13, 2015 Eq. 32 6. Calculate R2 as: Solving for C3: V × (2π × ƒ O × L × C OUT ) C 3 = RAMP VIN × R 9 C2 (2π × 0.5 × ƒ SW × R 9 × C2 ) − 1 R6 = VFB − R5 VOUT − VFB Eq. 33 Eq. 28 28 Revision 2.1 Micrel, Inc. MIC2111B Design and Layout Checklist • Ceramic capacitor placed between the VIN and PGND close to power module input. • Output ceramic capacitors should be placed next to inductor output node for high-frequency decoupling. • The signal and power ground planes must be separated to prevent high current and fast switching signals from interfering with the low level, noise sensitive analog signals. These planes should be connected at only 1 point. • The following signals and their components should be decoupled or referenced to the power ground plane: − • VIN, VCC, PGND These analog signals should be referenced or decoupled to the analog ground plane: − VCC, SS, PG, COMP, FB, VOUT, and AGND • Place the current-sense lines in differential way. The trace coming from the switch node to this resistor has high dv/dt and should be routed away from other noise sensitive components and traces. • The remote sense traces must be routed close together or on adjacent layers to minimize noise pickup. The traces should be routed away from the switch node, inductors, and other high dv/dt or di/dt sources. October 13, 2015 29 Revision 2.1 Micrel, Inc.
