D, 21-Apr-03 www.vishay.com 5 Si4738CY New Product Vishay Siliconix DEVICE OPERATION The Vishay Siliconix MOSFET plus driver product is optimized for dc-dc conversion in all aspects—driver design through MOSFET optimization. The integrated packaged allows the PCB designer to ignore the MOSFET driving current loops and focus on one board layout aspect—output current loop. It also allows for simplicity when adding additional phases to a system. The MOSFET driver is designed to eliminate any shoot-through currents in the output MOSFET stage by integrating a break-before-make circuit topology. When the low-side MOSFET is to be turned on, there is an internal reference voltage, VBBM, that the S1 node needs to be below before the low-side MOSFET is turned on. When the high-side MOSFET is to be turned on, there is an optimized delay time (based on the MOSFET pair used) that will ensure that the low-side is turned off, and minimize the body diode conduction. In addition, the low impedance MOSFET drivers are optimized with the MOSFET gate impedance to help ensure an “off” state gate voltage during any shoot-through conditions when the high-side MOSFET is turned on. The MOSFETs are designed to meet a specific set of conditions to provide the best performance possible. These requirements are as follows. 1. The size of the MOSFET is selected to provide a good compromise between power dissipation and size. 2. The high-side MOSFET is designed to minimize the rDS(on)-Qg figure-of-merit and to have a low Rg for short switching times. 3. The low-side MOSFET is designed to have the optimum rDS(on), low Rg for short switching times, and low Qgd/Qgs ratio to eliminate shoot-through conditions. Switch Timing The Si4738CY has a built-in delay time that is optimized for the MOSFET pair. When the CLK signal goes low, the high-side driver will turn off, and the output will start to ramp down, tf. After a total delay, td(off) , the low-side driver turns on to provide the synchronous rectification. When the CLK goes high, the low-side driver turns off; as the body diode starts to conduct, the high-side MOSFET turns on after a total delay, td(on). The output then ramps up, tr. TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS (25_C UNLESS NOTED) Representative Safe Operating Curve Typical Performance The following guidelines are meant to allow the designer the quickest and simplest method to working with the Vishay Siliconix MOSFET plus driver products. 2. The following chart shows experimental results based on a specific set of operating conditions. 1. The Si4738CY has a limited maximum output current capability, depending on the frequency, duty cycle and ambient temperature. The following graph shows the limitation Power Dissipation vs. Frequency IOUT vs. Operating Frequency 7 16 TA = 25_C Power Dissipation (W) 12 IOUT (A) TA = 80_C 8 4 IOUT = 12 A 4 3 IOUT = 8 A 2 0 0 0 200 400 600 800 Operating Frequency (kHz) 6 5 1 VIN = 12 V VOUT = 1.6 V www.vishay.com VIN = 12 V VOUT = 1.6 V VDD = 5 V 6 1000 1200 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 Operating Frequency (kHz) Document Number: 71927 S-03778—Rev. D, 21-Apr-03 Si4738CY New Product Vishay Siliconix TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS (25_C UNLESS NOTED) Power Dissipation vs. IOUT When all of these factors are put together, a set of efficiency curves are developed as shown. This experimental result is based on a spreading copper area on the board of one and a half square inches. 8 VIN = 12 V VOUT = 1.6 V VDD = 5 V Efficiency Comparison 95 VIN = 12 V Inductor of 1.0 H, 5050EZ 4 91 700 kHz 300 kHz 300 kHz 2 0 0 4 8 12 16 20 IOUT (A) Efficiency (%) Power Dissipation (W) 6 87 500 kHz 83 700 kHz 79 1000 kHz 3. The dissipation of the heat generated by the MOSFET plus driver product is highly dependent on the board thermal impedance and the RthJF of the SO-16 package. 75 4 8 12 16 20 IO (A) BOARD DESIGN GUIDELINES The performance characteristics shown above was done using a board that follows a suggested layout of the device and surrounding components. The basic design rules are as follows. 2. Place the output inductor close to the S1 and D2 pads. Using a large copper area around these pads help improve the thermal performance. Adding thermal vias to help dissipate the heat also improves performance. 1. Minimize the distance of the VDD capacitor to the VDD pins and ground. 3. Use a large copper area for the D1 and S2 pads. Again, using thermal vias in this area will help the thermal performance. Document Number: 71927 S-03778—Rev.
