Figure 2 – PWM Block Diagram
Refer to Figure 3. Upon receiving a clock pulse, the RSFF is set, the internal PWM ramp voltage begins to
increase, the low side driver is turned off, and the high side driver is then turned on. For phase 1, an internal 9pf
capacitor is charged by a current source that proportional to the switching frequency resulting in a ramp rate of
50mV per percent duty cycle. For example, if the steady-state operating switch node duty cycle is 10%, then the
internal ramp amplitude is typically 500mV from the starting point (or floor) to the crossing of the EAOUT control
voltage. When the PWM ramp voltage exceeds the Error Amplifier’s output voltage, the RSFF is reset. This turns
off the high side driver, turns on the low side driver, and discharges the PWM ramp to 0.6V until the next clock
pulse.

Figure 3 – 3 Phase Oscillator and PWM Waveforms
The RSFF is reset dominant allowing both phases to go to zero duty cycle within a few tens of nanoseconds in
response to a load step decrease. Phases can overlap and go to 100% duty cycle in response to a load step
increase with turn-on gated by the clock pulses. An Error Amplifier output voltage greater than the common mode
input range of the PWM comparator results in 100% duty cycle regardless of the voltage of the PWM ramp. This
arrangement guarantees the Error Amplifier is always in control and can demand 0 to 100% duty cycle as required.
It also favors response to a load step decrease which is appropriate given the low output to input voltage ratio of
most systems. The inductor current will increase much more rapidly than decrease in response to load transients.
This control method is designed to provide “single cycle transient response” where the inductor current changes in
response to load transients within a single switching cycle maximizing the effectiveness of the power train and
minimizing the output capacitor requirements.
Body Braking
TM
In a conventional synchronous buck converter, the minimum time required to reduce the current in the inductor in
response to a load step decrease is;
TSLEW = [L x (IMAX - IMIN)] / Vout
(1)
The slew rate of the inductor current can be significantly increased by turning off the synchronous rectifier in
response to a load step decrease. The switch node voltage is then forced to decrease until conduction of the
synchronous rectifier’s body diode occurs. This increases the voltage across the inductor from Vout to Vout + VBODY
DIODE. The minimum time required to reduce the current in the inductor in response to a load transient decrease is
now;
TSLEW = [L x (IMAX - IMIN)] / (Vout + VBODY DIODE)
Page 12 of 29
(2)
09/26/05
IR3094PBF
Since the voltage drop in the body diode is often higher than output voltage, the inductor current slew rate can be
increased by 2X or more. This patent pending technique is referred to as “body braking” and is accomplished
through the “0% Duty Cycle Comparator”. If the Error Amplifier’s output voltage drops below 0.575V, this
comparator turns off the low side gate driver.

Current Sense Amplifier
A high speed differential current sense amplifier is shown in Figure 5. Its gain decreases with increasing
temperature and is nominally 24 at 25ºC and 20.9 at 125ºC (-1400 ppm/ºC). This reduction of gain tends to
compensate the 3850 ppm/ºC increase in inductor DCR. Since in most designs the IR3094 IC junction is hotter than
the inductors these two effects tend to cancel such that no additional temperature compensation of the load line is
required.
The current sense amplifier can accept positive differential input up to 75mV and negative up to -25mV before
clipping. The output of the current sense amplifier is summed with the VREF voltage which is used for over current
protection, voltage positioning and current sharing.

Power-up in Non-Synchronous Mode
The SYNC LATCH is set by either a UVLO or a Low Enable fault at the beginning of the power-up cycle, keeping all
three low side gate drivers low. The SYNC LATCH is then reset once the FB pin exceeds 78% of VREF to release
the low side gate drive control to the Error-Amp. SCOMP preconditioning is also released at this time. NonSynchronous startup helps preventing negative inductor current until current sharing is stabilized.
VCC Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The VCC UVLO function monitors the IR3094’s VCC supply pin and ensures enough voltage is available to power
the internal circuitry. During power-up the fault latch is reset when VCC exceeds 7.5V and all other faults are
cleared. The fault latch is set when VCC drops below 7.0V and SS/DEL is below 3.75V.
5VUVL Under Voltage Lockout (5VUVL)
The 5VUVL function is provided for converters using a separate voltage supply other than VCC for gate driver bias.
The 5VUVL comparator prevents operation by discharging SS/DEL below 3.75V to force EAOUT low. The 5VUVL
comparator has an OK threshold of 4.36V ensuring adequate gate drive voltage is present and a fault threshold of
4.17V.
Power Good Output
The PWRGD pin is an open-collector output and should be pulled up to a voltage source through a resistor. During
soft start, the PWRGD remains low until the output voltage is in regulation and SS/DEL is above 3.75V. The
PWRGD pin becomes low if the fault latch is set. A high level at the PWRGD pin indicates that the converter is in
operation and has no fault, but does not ensure the output voltage is within the specification. Output voltage
regulation within the design limits can logically be assured however, assuming no component failure in the system.
Tri-State Gate Drivers
The GATELX drivers can pull down up to 3.5A peak current and source up to 1.5A. The GATEHX drivers can
source and sink up to 1.5A peak current. An adaptive non-overlap circuit monitors the voltage on the GATEHX and
GATELX pins to prevent MOSFET shoot-through current while minimizing body diode conduction.
The Error Amplifier output of the Control IC drives low in response to any fault condition such as VCC input under
voltage or output overload. The 0% duty cycle comparator detects this and drives both gate outputs low. This tristate operation prevents negative inductor current and negative output voltage during power-down.
The Gate Drivers revert to a high impedance “off” state at VCCLX and VCCHX supply voltages below the normal
operating range. An 80kŸUHVLVWRULVFRQQHFWHGDFURVVWKH*$7(;DQG3*1';SLQVWRSUHYHQWWKH*$7(;YROWDJH

Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The output Over-Voltage Protection comparator monitors the output voltage through the OVPSNS pin, the positive
remote sense point. If OVPSNS exceeds VREF plus 150mV, the OVP LATCH will be set. This will set the fault
latch immediately pulling the Error Amplifier’s output low, reset the PWM latch to fully turn-off the high side
MOSFETs and turn-on the low side MOSFETs within approximately 350ns. The low side MOSFETs will remain ON
until the OVP LATCH is reset by recycling VCC. OVPSNS exceeding VREF by 150mV also activates 75uA sources
on the OVP pin. The lower MOSFETs alone can not clamp the output voltage however an SCR or MOSFET could
be triggered with the OVP pin to prevent processor damage.
If powering up with a high side MOSFET short, the OVP flag is activated and the OVP LATCH is set with as little
VCC supply voltage as possible. The OVPSNS pin is compared against both VCC and 5VUVL for OVP conditions
at power-up. VCC is monitored for conversion off 12V, 5VUVL is monitored for conversion off 5V. The OVP pin
flags a voltage greater than 0.48V with supply voltages as low as 1.0V. This headroom voltage varies inversely with
temperature. An external comparator can be used to disable the silver box, activate a crowbar, or supply source.

Figure 6 – System Diagram
Oscillator Resistor RROSC
The oscillator frequency is programmable from 100kHz to 540kHz with an external resistor RROSC as shown in
Figure 6. The Oscillator generates an internal 50% duty cycle sawtooth signal (Figure 3.) that is used to generate
120° out-of-phase timing pulses to set Phase 1,2 and 3 RS flip-flops. Once the switching frequency is chosen,
RROSC can be determined from the curve in the Typical Operating Characteristics Section.
Soft Start, Over-Current Fault Delay, and Hiccup Mode
The IR3094 has a programmable soft-start function to limit the surge current during converter power-up. A capacitor
connected between the SS/DEL and LGND pins controls soft start timing as well as over-current protection delay
and hiccup mode timing.
Figure 8 depicts the various operating modes of the SS/DEL function. Under a no fault condition, the SS/DEL
capacitor will charge. The SS/DEL charge soft-start duration is controlled by a 60uA charge current which charges
CSS up to 4.0V. The Error Amplifier output is clamped low until SS/DEL reaches 1.1V. The Error Amplifier will then
regulate the converter’s output voltage to match the SS/DEL voltage less the 1.1V offset until it reaches the level
determined by the VREF voltage. The PWRGD signal is asserted once the SS/DEL voltage exceeds 3.75V.
Four different faults will immediately cause SS/DEL to begin discharging and set the Fault Latch once SS/DEL is
below 3.75V;

Over Current condition.
A delay is included if any of the four fault conditions occurs after a successful soft start sequence. This is required
since momentary faults can occur as part of normal operation due to load transients such as exciting an overcurrent condition. If any fault occurs during normal operation, the SS/DEL capacitor will discharge through a 55uA
current sink but will not set the fault latch immediately. If the fault condition persists long enough for the SS/DEL
capacitor to discharge below the 3.75V threshold of the delay comparator, the Fault latch will be set pulling the Error
Amplifier’s output low, inhibiting switching and de-asserting the PWRGD signal. The SS/DEL capacitor is then
discharged through a 6uA discharge current resulting in a long hiccup duration.
The SS/DEL capacitor will continue to discharge until it reaches 0.265V where the fault latch is reset allowing a
normal soft start to occur. If a fault condition is again encountered during the soft start cycle, the fault latch will be
set without any delay and hiccup mode will begin. During hiccup mode the 10 to 1 charge to discharge ratio results
in a 9.1% hiccup mode duty cycle regardless of at what point a fault condition occurs.
OVP fault immediately sets the fault latch causing SS/DEL to begin to discharge and this fault can only be cleared
by cycling power to the IR3094 on and off.
If SS/DEL pin is pulled below 0.8V, the converter can be disabled.

Soft-start delay time tSSDEL is the time SS/DEL charged up to 1.1V. After that the error amplifier output is released

VREF Compensation Network RREF and CREF
A RC network tied between VREF pin and VOSENS- is needed to compensate VREF circuit. VREF should come up
earlier than SS/DEL pin charged up to 3.75V. For save estimation, use half of the soft start time that is 0.5*tSS as
the VREF voltage establishing time. Use equation (7) and (8) to determine RREF and CREF where VREF source

Over Current Protection (OCP)
The current limit threshold is set by a resistor connected between the OCSET and VREF pins. If the average
Current Sense Amplifier output plus VREF voltage exceeds the OCSET voltage, the over-current protection is
triggered.
A delay is included if an over-current condition occurs after a successful soft-start sequence. This is required since
over-current conditions can occur as part of normal operation due to load transients. If an over-current fault occurs
during normal operation, the Over Current Comparator will initiate the discharge of the capacitor at SS/DEL but will
not set the fault latch immediately. If the over-current condition persists long enough for the SS/DEL capacitor to
discharge below the 245mV offset of the delay comparator, the Fault latch will be set pulling the Error Amplifier’s
output low inhibiting switching in the phase ICs and de-asserting the PWRGD signal. The hiccup mode duty cycle of
over current protection is determined by the fixed 10:1 ratio of the charge to discharge current.
The inductor DC resistance RL is utilized to sense the inductor current. The current limit threshold is set by a
resistor ROCSET connected between the OCSET and VREF pins, as shown in Fig6. ILIMIT is the required over
current limit. IOCSET, the bias current of OCSET pin, is set by RROSC and is determined by the curve in the Typical
Operating Characteristics Section. OCP need to satisfy the high temperature condition. RL_MAX and RL_ROOM are
the inductor DCR at maximum temperature TL_MAX and room temperature T_ROOM respectively, the maximum
inductor DCR can be calculated from Equation (9)

Output Voltage Droop
In some of the applications, output voltage droop is needed to minimize output voltage deviations during load
transients and reduce power dissipation of the load when it is drawing maximum current.
The voltage at the VDRP pin is an average of three phase Current Sense Amplifiers and represents the sum of the
VREF voltage and the average inductor current of all the phases. The VDRP pin is connected to the FB pin through
the RDRP resistor, see figure 6. The Error Amplifier forces the voltage on the FB pin to equal VREF through the
power supply loop therefore the current through RDRP is equal to (VDRP-VREF) / RDRP. As the load current
increases, the VDRP voltage increases accordingly which results in an increase in RFB current, positioning the
output regulated voltage lower thus making the output voltage reduction proportional to an increase in load current.
The droop impedance or output impedance of the converter can thus be programmed by the resistor RDRP. The
offset and slope of the converter output impedance are independent of the VREF voltage.
The VDRP pin voltage represents the average current of the converter plus the 0.84V reference voltage. The load
current can be retrieved by subtracting the VREF voltage from the VDRP voltage.
The converter voltage will be lowered by RO*IO, where RO is the required output impedance of the converter. RDRP
is determined by Equation (12)

constant of the inductor which is the inductance L over the inductor DCR. If the two time constants match, the
voltage across Ccs is proportional to the current through L, and the sense circuit can be treated as if only a sense
resistor with the value of RL was used. The mismatch of the time constants does not affect the measurement of
inductor DC current, but affects the AC component of the inductor current.

The advantage of sensing the inductor current versus high side or low side sensing is that actual output current
being delivered to the load is obtained rather than peak or sampled information about the switch currents. The
output voltage can be positioned to meet a load line based on real time information. Except for a sense resistor in
series with the inductor, this is the only sense method that can support a single cycle transient response. Other
methods provide no information during either load increase (low side sensing) or load decrease (high side sensing).
An additional problem associated with peak or valley current mode control for voltage positioning is that they suffer
from peak-to-average errors. These errors will show in many ways but one example is the effect of frequency
variation. If the frequency of a particular unit is 10% low, the peak to peak inductor current will be 10% larger and
the output impedance of the converter will drop by about 10%. Variations in inductance, current sense amplifier
bandwidth, PWM prop delay, any added slope compensation, input voltage, and output voltage are all additional
sources of peak-to-average errors.
Measure the inductance L and the inductor DC resistance RL. Pre-select the capacitor CCS and calculate RCS as
follows.

Inductor DCR Temperature Correction
If the Current Sense Amplifier temperature dependent gain is not adequate to compensate the inductor DCR TC, a
negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor can be added. The thermistor should be placed close to the
inductor and connected in parallel with the feedback resistor, as shown in Figure 8. The resistor in series with the
thermistor is used to reduce the nonlinearity of the thermistor.
Figure 8 - Temperature compensation of inductor DCR
Remote Voltage Sensing
To compensate for impedance in the ground plane, the VOSNS- pin is used for remote sensing and connects
directly to the load. The VREF voltage is referenced to VOSNS- to avoid additional error terms or delay related to a
separate differential amplifier. The capacitor connecting the VREF and VOSNS- pins ensure that high speed
transients are fed directly into the Error Amplifier without delay.

Master-Slave Current Share Loop
Current sharing between phases of the converter is achieved by a Master-Slave current share loop topology. The
output of the Phase 1 Current Sense Amplifier sets the reference for the Share Adjust Error Amplifiers. Each Share
Adjust Error Amplifier adjusts the duty cycle of its respective PWM Ramp and to force its input error to zero
compared to the master Phase 1, resulting in accurate current sharing.
The maximum and minimum duty cycle adjust range of Ramps 2 & 3 compared to Ramp1 has been limited to a
minimum of 0.5x and a maximum of 2.0x typical (see Figure 3.). The crossover frequency of the current share loop
can be programmed with a capacitor at the SCOMPX pin so that the share loop does not interact with the output
voltage loop.
The SCOMPX capacitor is driven by a trans-conductance stage capable of sourcing and sinking 22uA. The duty
cycle of Ramps 2 & 3 inversely tracks the voltage on their SCOMPX pin; if V(SCOMP2) increases, Ramp2’s slope
will increase and the effective duty cycle will decrease resulting in a reduction in Phase 2’s output current. Due to
the limited 22uA source current, an SCOMPX pre-conditon circuit has been included to pre-condition V(SCOMPX)
so that the duty cycle of Ramps 2 & 3 are equal to Ramp1 prior to any GATEHX high pulses. The pre-condition
circuit can source/sink 360uA. The SYNC LATCH (see Figure 1) releases the pre-condition circuit once FB reaches
78% of VREF.
Set BIASOUT voltage
BIASOUT pin provides a 150mA open-loop regulated voltage for GATE drive bias. The voltage is set by SETBIAS
through an external resistor Rset connecting between SETBIAS pin and ground. Bias current ISETBIAS is a function of
ROSC. Rset is chosen by equation (15). VFD in the equation is the forward voltage drop across the Bootstrap diode.

Compensation of the Current Share Loop
The crossover frequency of the current share loop should be at least one decade lower than that of the voltage loop
in order to eliminate the interaction between the two loops. A 22nF capacitor from SCOMP to LGND is good for
most of the applications. If necessary have a resistor in series with the Csc to make the current loop a little bit
faster.
Compensation of Voltage Loop
The selection of compensation types depends on the output capacitors used in the converter. For the applications
using Electrolytic, Polymer or AL-Polymer capacitors and running at lower frequency, type II compensation shown in
Figure 9(a) is usually enough. While for the applications using only ceramic capacitors and running at higher
frequency, type III compensation shown in Figure 9(b) is preferred.
For applications without voltage droop, the compensation is the same as for the regular voltage mode control. For
converter using Polymer, AL-Polymer, and ceramic capacitors, which have much higher ESR zero frequency, type
III compensation is required as shown in Figure 9(b) with RDRP and CDRP removed.

LAYOUT GUIDELINES
The following layout guidelines are recommended to reduce the parasitic inductance and resistance of the PCB
layout, therefore minimizing the noise coupled to the IC. Refer to the schematic in Figure 6 – System Diagram.
x
Dedicate at least one inner layer of the PCB as power ground plane (PGND).
x The center pad of IC must be connected to ground plane (PGND) using the recommended via pattern shown in
“Package Dimensions”.
x
The IC’s PGND1, 2, 3 and LGND should connect to the center pad under IC.
x The following components must be grounded directly to the LGND pin on the IC using a ground plane on the
component side of PCB: CSS, RSC2, RSC3, RSET, CVCC and C5VREF. The LGND should only be connected to
ground plan on the center pad under IC
x Place the decoupling capacitors CVCC and CBIAS as close as possible to the VCC and VCCL1_2, VCCL3
pins. The ground side of CBIAS should not be connected to LGND and it should directly ground through vias.
x The following components should be placed as close as possible to the respective pins on the IC: RROSC,
ROCSET, CREF, RREF, CSS, CSC2, RSC2, CSC3, RSC3, RSET.
x Place current sense capacitors CCS1, 2, 3 and resistors RCS1, 2, 3 as close as possible to CSINP1, 2, 3 pins
of IC and route the two current sense signals in pairs connecting to the IC. The current sense signals should be
located away from gate drive signals and switch nodes.
x Use Kelvin connections to route the current sense traces to each individual phase inductor, in order to achieve
good current share between phases.
x Place the input decoupling capacitors closer to the drain of top MOSFET and the source of the bottom
MOSFET. If possible, Use multiple smaller value ceramic caps instead of one big cap, or use low inductance type of
ceramic cap, to reduce the parasitic inductance.
x Route the high current paths using wide and short traces or polygons. Use multiple vias for connections
between layers.
x
-
The symmetry of the following connections from phase to phase is important for proper operation:
The Kelvin connections of the current sense signals to inductors.
The gate drive signals from the IC to the MOSFETS.
The polygon shape of switching nodes.

48 Lead
0.5mm pitch MLPQ
See Figures 10-12.
PCB Metal Design (0.5mm Pitch Leads)
1.
Lead land width should be equal to nominal part lead width. The minimum lead to lead
spacing should be •PPWRPLQLPL]HVKRUWLQJ
2.
Lead land length should be equal to maximum part lead length + 0.2 mm outboard extension +
0.05mm inboard extension. The outboard extension ensures a large and inspectable toe fillet, and the
inboard extension will accommodate any part misalignment and ensure a fillet.
3.
Center pad land length and width should be = maximum part pad length and width. However,
the minimum metal to metal spacing should be •PPR]&RSSHU•PPIRUR]&RSSHU
and •PPIRUR]&RSSHU
4.
Sixteen 0.30mm diameter vias shall be placed in the pad land spaced at 1.2mm, and
connected to ground to minimize the noise effect on the IC, and to transfer heat to the PCB.
PCB Solder Resist Design (0.5mm Pitch Leads)
1.
Lead lands. The solder resist should be pulled away from the metal lead lands by a minimum
of 0.060mm. The solder resist mis-alignment is a maximum of 0.050mm and it is recommended that
the lead lands are all NSMD. Therefore pulling the S/R 0.060mm will always ensure NSMD pads.
2.
The minimum solder resist width is 0.13mm, therefore it is recommended that the solder resist
is completely removed from between the lead lands forming a single opening for each “group” of lead
lands.
3.
At the inside corner of the solder resist where the lead land groups meet, it is recommended to
provide a fillet so a solder resist width of •PPUHPDLQV
4.
Land Pad. The land pad should be SMD, with a minimum overlap of the solder resist onto the
copper of 0.060mm to accommodate solder resist mis-alignment. In 0.5mm pitch cases it is allowable
to have the solder resist opening for the land pad to be smaller than the part pad.
5.
Ensure that the solder resist in-between the lead lands and the pad land is •PPGXHWR
the high aspect ratio of the solder resist strip separating the lead lands from the pad land.
6.
The single via in the land pad should be tented with solder resist 0.4mm diameter, or 0.1mm
larger than the diameter of the via.
Stencil Design (0.5mm Pitch Leads)
1.
The stencil apertures for the lead lands should be approximately 80% of the area of the lead
lands. Reducing the amount of solder deposited will minimize the occurrence of lead shorts. Since for
0.5mm pitch devices the leads are only 0.25mm wide, the stencil apertures should not be made
narrower; openings in stencils < 0.25mm wide are difficult to maintain repeatable solder release.
2.
The stencil lead land apertures should therefore be shortened in length by 80% and centered
on the lead land.
3.
The center land pad aperture should be striped with 0.25mm wide openings and spaces to
deposit approximately 50% area of solder on the center pad. If too much solder is deposited on the
center land pad the part will float and the lead lands will be open.
4.
The maximum length and width of the center land pad stencil aperture should be equal to the
solder resist opening minus an annular 0.2mm pull back to decrease the incidence of shorting the
center land to the lead lands when the part is pushed into the solder paste.
