IRU3048
THEORY OF OPERATION
Introduction
The IRU3048 is designed for multi-outputs applications.
It includes two synchronous buck controllers and a linear regulator controller. The two synchronous controller
operates with fixed frequency voltage mode and is configured as two independent controllers. The timing of the
IC is provided through an internal oscillator circuit. These
are two out of phase oscillators.
Soft-Start
The IRU3048 has a programmable soft start to control
the output voltage rise and limit the current surge at the
start-up. To ensure correct start-up, the soft-start sequence initiates when the Vcc, VcH1 and VcH2 rise
above their threshold and generates the Power On Reset (POR) signal. Soft-start function operates by sourcing an internal current to charge an external capacitor to
about 3V. Initially, the soft-start function clamps the E/
A’s output of the PWM converter. As the charging voltage of the external capacitor ramps up, the PWM signals increase from zero to the point the feedback loop
takes control.
Out of Phase Operation
The IRU3048 drives its two output stages 1808 out of
phase. In application with single input voltage, the out of
phase operation reduces the input ripple current. This
results in much smaller RMS current in the input capacitor and reduction of input capacitors.
Shutdown
The converter can be shutdown by pulling the soft-start
pin below 0.5V. This can be easily done by using an
external small signal transistor. During shutdown the
MOSFET drivers and the LDO controller turn off.
Short-Circuit Protection
The outputs are protected against the short circuit. The
IRU3048 protects the circuit for shorted output by sensing the output voltages. The IRU3048 shuts down the
PWM signals and LDO controller, when the output voltages drops below the set values.
Under-Voltage Lockout
The under-voltage lockout circuit assures that the
MOSFET driver outputs and LDO controller remain in
the off state whenever the supply voltages drop below
set parameters. Normal operation resumes once the
supply voltages rise above the set values.

Output Voltage Programming
Output voltage is programmed by reference voltage and
external voltage divider. The Fb1 pin is the inverting input
of the error amplifier, which is internally referenced to
1.25V. The divider is ratioed to provide 1.25V at the Fb1
pin when the output is at its desired value. The output
voltage is defined by using the following equation:

IRU3048
If the high value feedback resistors are used, the input
bias current of the Fb pin could cause a slight increase
in output voltage. The output voltage set point can be
more accurate by using precision resistor.
Soft-Start Programming
The soft-start timing can be programmed by selecting
the soft start capacitance value. The start up time of the
converter can be calculated by using:
tSTART = 75 3 Css (ms)
ESR [
---(2)
Where:
CSS is the soft-start capacitor (mF)
For a start-up time of 7.5ms, the soft-start capacitor will
be 0.1mF. Choose a ceramic capacitor at 0.1mF.
Boost Supply Vc
To drive the high-side switch it is necessary to supply a
gate voltage at least 4V greater than the bus voltage.
This is achieved by using a charge pump configuration
as shown in Figure 9. The capacitor is charged up to
approximately twice the bus voltage. A capacitor in the
range of 0.1mF to 1mF is generally adequate for most
applications.
Input Capacitor selection
The input filter capacitor should be based on how much
ripple the supply can tolerate on the DC input line. The
ripple current generated during the on time of control
MOSFET should be provided by input capacitor. The RMS
value of this ripple is expressed by:
IRMS = IOUT
D3(1-D)
---(3)
Where:
D is the Duty Cycle, simply D=VOUT/VIN.
IRMS is the RMS value of the input capacitor current.
IOUT is the output current for each channel.
For VIN1=12V, IOUT1=4A and D1=0.275
Results to: IRMS1=1.78A
And for VIN2=5V, IOUT2=4A and D2=0.36
Results to: IRMS2 =1.92A
For higher efficiency, a low ESR capacitor is recommended.
For VI N 1=12V, choose one Poscap from Sanyo
16TPB47M (16V, 47mF, 70mV, 1.4A)
For VIN2=5V, choose one 6TPC150M (6.3V, 150mF,
40mV, 1.9A).

Output Capacitor Selection
The criteria to select the output capacitor is normally
based on the value of the Effective Series Resistance
(ESR). In general, the output capacitor must have low
enough ESR to meet output ripple and load transient
requirements, yet have high enough ESR to satisfy stability requirements. The ESR of the output capacitor is
calculated by the following relationship:
DVO
DIO
---(4)
Where:
DVO = Output Voltage Ripple
DIO = Output Current
DVO=75mV and DIO=3A, results to: ESR=25mV
The Sanyo TPC series, PosCap capacitor is a good
choice. The 6TPC150M 150mF, 6.3V has an ESR 40mV.
Selecting two of these capacitors in parallel for each
output, results to an ESR of ≅ 20mV which achieves our
low ESR goal.
The capacitor value must be high enough to absorb the
inductor's ripple current. The larger the value of capacitor, the lower will be the output ripple voltage.
The resulting output ripple current is smaller then each
channel ripple current due to the 1808 phase shift. These
currents cancel each other. The cancellation is not the
maximum because of the different duty cycle for each
channel.
Inductor Selection
The inductor is selected based on output power, operating frequency and efficiency requirements. Low inductor value causes large ripple current, resulting in the
smaller size, but poor efficiency and high output noise.
Generally, the selection of inductor value can be reduced
to desired maximum ripple current in the inductor (∆i);
the optimum point is usually found between 20% and
50% ripple of the output current.
For the buck converter, the inductor value for desired
operating ripple current can be determined using the following relation:

For Di1=25% of I1, we get L1=9.9mH
For Di2=25% of I2, we get: L2=5.7mH
The total conduction losses for channel 1 is:
PCON1 = 1.1W
Panasonic provides a range of inductors in different values and low profile for large currents.
For L1 choose ETQP6F102HFA (10.2mH, 4A)
For L2 choose ELLATV6R8M (6.8mH, 4A)
Power MOSFET Selection
The selections criteria to meet power transfer requirements is based on maximum drain-source voltage (V DSS),
gate-source drive voltage (V GS), maximum output current, On-resistance RDS(ON) and thermal management.
The MOSFET must have a maximum operating voltage
(V DSS) exceeding the maximum input voltage (V IN).
The gate drive requirement is almost the same for both
MOSFETs. Caution should be taken with devices at very
low VGS to prevent undesired turn-on of the complementary MOSFET, which results a shoot-through current.
The total conduction losses for channel 2 is:
PCON2 = 1.1W
The control MOSFET contributes to the majority of the
switching losses in synchronous Buck converter. The
synchronous MOSFET turns on under zero-voltage condition, therefore the turn on losses for synchronous
MOSFET can be neglected. With a linear approximation, the total switching loss can be expressed as:
VDS(OFF) tr + tf

Where:
VDS(OFF) = Drain to Source Voltage at off time
tr = Rise Time
PSW =

T = Switching Period
ILOAD = Load Current

The total power dissipation for MOSFETs includes conduction and switching losses. For the Buck converter
the average inductor current is equal to the DC load current. The conduction loss is defined as:

PCOND(Upper Switch) = ILOAD 3RDS(ON)3D3q

PCOND(Lower Switch) = ILOAD 3RDS(ON)3(1 - D)3q

The total conduction loss is defined as:
The RDS(ON) temperature dependency should be considered for the worst case operation. This is typically given
in the MOSFET data sheet. Ensure that the conduction
losses and switching losses do not exceed the package
ratings or violate the overall thermal budget.
For this design, IRF7313 is a good choice. These devices provide low on-resistance in a compact SOIC 8Pin package.

Feedback Compensation
The IRU3048 is a voltage mode controller; the control
loop is a single voltage feedback path including error
amplifier and error comparator. To achieve fast transient
response and accurate output regulation, a compensation circuit is necessary. The goal of the compensation
network is to provide a closed loop transfer function with
the highest 0dB crossing frequency and adequate phase
margin (greater than 458).

The IRU3048's error amplifier is a differential-input
transconductance amplifier. The output is available for
DC gain control or AC phase compensation.
The E/A can be compensated with or without the use of
local feedback. When operated without local feedback
the transconductance properties of the E/A become evident and can be used to cancel one of the output filter
poles. This will be accomplished with a series RC circuit
from Comp1 pin to ground as shown in Figure 6.

The stability requirement will be satisfied by placing the
poles and zeros of the compensation network according
to following design rules. The consideration has been
taken to satisfy condition 14 regarding transconductance error amplifier.
1) Select the crossover frequency:
Fo < FESR and Fo [ (1/10 ~ 1/6)3 fS
2) Select R7, so that R7 >>

Output Voltage Programming
Output voltage for LDO is programmed by reference voltage and external voltage divider. The Fb3 pin is the inverting input of the error amplifier, which is internally referenced to 1.25V. The divider is ratioed to provide 1.25V
at the Fb3 pin when the output is at its desired value.
The output voltage is defined by using the following equation:
RHIGH
VOUT2 = VREF3 1+
RLOW
RDS(ON) =
6) Place second pole at ESR zero.

LDO Section
LDO Power MOSFET Selection
The first step in selecting the power MOSFET for the
linear regulator is to select the maximum RDS(ON) based
on the input to the dropout voltage and the maximum
load current.
5) Place R7 in (15) and calculate C10:
R8 =
These design rules will give a crossover frequency approximately one-tenth of the switching frequency. The
higher the band width, the potentially faster the load transient speed. The gain margin will be large enough to
provide high DC-regulation accuracy (typically -5dB to 12dB). The phase margin should be greater than 458 for
overall stability.
Results to: RHIGH=1K
C12 > 50pF
If not, change R7 selection.

Note that since the MOSFET RDS(ON) increases with temperature, this number must be divided by ~1.5 in order
to find the RDS(ON)(MAX) at room temperature. The IRLR2703
has a maximum of 0.065V RDS(ON) at room temperature,
which meets our requirements.

Layout Consideration
The layout is very important when designing high frequency switching converters. Layout will affect noise
pickup and can cause a good design to perform with
less than expected results.
Start to place the power components, make all the connection in the top layer with wide, copper filled areas.
The inductor, output capacitor and the MOSFET should
be close to each other as possible. This helps to reduce
the EMI radiated by the power traces due to the high
switching currents through them. Place input capacitor
directly to the drain of the high-side MOSFET, to reduce
the ESR replace the single input capacitor with two parallel units. The feedback part of the system should be
kept away from the inductor and other noise sources,
and be placed close to the IC. In multilayer PCB use
one layer as power ground plane and have a control circuit ground (analog ground), to which all signals are referenced. The goal is to localize the high current path to
a separate loop that does not interfere with the more
sensitive analog control function. These two grounds
must be connected together on the PC board layout at a
single point.
