It includes two synchronous buck controllers and a linear regulator controller. The two synchronous controller operates with fixed frequency voltage mode and can be configured as two independent controller or 2-phase controller with current sharing. The timing of the IC is provided through an internal oscillator circuit. These are two out of phase oscillators with 200KHz switching frequency. Independent Mode In this mode the IRU3047 provides two independent outputs with either common or different input voltages. The output voltage of the individual channel is set and controlled by the output of the error amplifier, this is the amplified error signal from the sensed output voltage and the reference voltage. This voltage is compared to the ramp signal and generates fixed frequency pulses of variable duty-cycle, which drives the two N-channel external MOSFETs. Current Sharing Mode In the current sharing mode, the two converter’s outputs tied together and provide one single output (see Figure 1). In this mode, one control loop acts as a master and sets the output voltage as a regular Voltage Mode buck controller and the other control loop acts as a slave and monitors the current information for current sharing. The current sharing is programmable and sets by using two external resistors in output currents’ path. The slave's error amplifier, error amplifier 2 (see the block diagram) measures the voltage drops across the current sense resistors, the differential of these signals is amplified and compared with the ramp signal and generate the fixed frequency pulses of variable duty cycle to match the output currents. Out of Phase Operation The IRU3047 drives its two output stages 180o out of phase. In 2-phase configuration, the two inductor ripple currents cancel each other and result to a reduction of the output current ripple and contributes to a smaller output capacitors for the same ripple voltage requirement. Rev. 1.0 09/09/02 In application with single input voltage, the 2-phase configuration reduces the input ripple current. This results in much smaller RMS current in the input capacitor and reduction of input capacitor. Soft-Start The IRU3047 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. 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. Power Good The IRU3047 provides a power good signal. This is an open collector output and it is pulled low if the output voltages are not within the specified threshold. This pin can be left floating if not used. Short-Circuit Protection The outputs are protected against the short circuit. The IRU3047 protects the circuit for shorted output by sensing the output voltages. The IRU3047 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. www.irf.com 5 IRU3047 APPLICATION INFORMATION Design Example: The following example is a typical application for IRU3047 in current sharing mode. The schematic is Figure 12 on page 16. 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 = 753Css (ms) VIN1(MASTER) = 12V VIN2(SLAVE) = 5V VOUT1 = 1.5V IOUT = 12A DVOUT = 75mV fS = 200KHz ---(2) Where: CSS is the soft-start capacitor (mF) For a start-up time of 75ms, the soft-start capacitor will be 1mF. Choose a ceramic capacitor at 1mF. PWM Section 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: ( VOUT1 = VREF3 1+ R6 R5 ) ---(1) When an external resistor divider is connected to the output as shown in Figure 3. VOUT1 IRU3047 Figure 3 - Typical application of the IRU3047 for programming the output voltage. Equation (1) can be rewritten as: OUT1 REF ---(3) ) -1 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) ---(4) 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. Will result to: VOUT1 = 2.5V VREF = 1.25V R5 = 1K R6 = 1K For VIN1=12V, IOUT1=6A and D1=0.208 Results to: IRMS1=2.43A 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. 6 RSEN13IMASTER = RSEN23ISLAVE R6 R5 ( VV Sense Resistor Selection These resistors will determine the current sharing between two channels. The relationship between the Master and Slave output currents is expressed by: For an equal current sharing, RSEN1=RSEN1 Choose RSEN1=RSEN2=5mV Fb1 R6 = R5 3 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 1. 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. And for VIN2=5V, IOUT2=6A and D2=0.5 Results to: IRMS2 =3A www.irf.com Rev. 1.0 09/09/02 IRU3047 For higher efficiency, a low ESR capacitor is recommended. For VI N 1=12V, choose two Poscap from Sanyo 16TPB47M (16V, 47mF, 70mV, 1.4A) For VIN2=5V, choose two 6TPB330M (6.3V, 330mF, 40mV, 3A). 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: ESR [ DVO DIO ---(5) Where: DVO = Output Voltage Ripple DIO = Output Current DVO=100mV and DIO=5A, results to ESR=20mV The Sanyo TPC series, PosCap capacitor is a good choice. The 6TPB470M 470mF, 6.3V has an ESR 40mV. Selecting two of these capacitors in parallel, 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. Rev. 1.0 09/09/02 For the buck converter, the inductor value for desired operating ripple current can be determined using the following relation: Di 1 VOUT VIN - VOUT = L3 ; Dt = D3 ;D= Dt fS VIN VOUT L = (V IN - VOUT)3 ---(6) VIN3Di3fS Where: VIN = Maximum Input Voltage VOUT = Output Voltage ∆i = Inductor Ripple Current fS = Switching Frequency ∆t = Turn On Time D = Duty Cycle For Di1=30% of I1, we get L3=5.46mH For Di2=30% of I2, we get: L4=3.47mH The Coilcraft DO5022HC series provides a range of inductors in different values and low profile for large currents. For L3 choose DO5022P-602HC (6mH, 7.5A) For L4 choose DO5022P-472HC (4.7mH, 8.4A) 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 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: 2 PCOND(Upper Switch) = ILOAD 3RDS(ON)3D3q 2 PCOND(Lower Switch) = ILOAD 3RDS(ON)3(1 - D)3q q = RDS(ON) Temperature Dependency The total conduction loss is defined as: PCON(TOTAL)=PCON(Upper Switch)q+PCON(Lower Switch)q www.irf.com 7 IRU3047 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. Choose IRF7811A for control MOSFET and IRF7809A for synchronous MOSFET. These devices provide low on-resistance in a compact SOIC 8-Pin package. The total conduction losses for the master channel is: PCON(MASTER) = 0.498W The total conduction losses for the slave channel is: PCON(SLAVE) = 0.5535W 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 These values are taken under a certain condition test. For more detail please refer to the IRF7811A and IRF7809A data sheets. Feedback Compensation The control scheme for master and slave channels is based on voltage mode control, but the compensation of these two feedback loops is slightly different. For both: q = 1.5 for 1508C (Junction Temperature) VDS(OFF) tr + tf 3 3 ILOAD ---(7) 2 T Where: VDS(OFF) = Drain to Source Voltage at off time tr = Rise Time tf = Fall Time T = Switching Period ILOAD = Load Current IRF7811A tr = 4ns tf = 8ns By using equation (7), we can calculate the switching losses. PSW(MASTER) = 86.4mW PSW(SLAVE) = 36mW The MOSFETs have the following data: IRF7811A IRF7809A VDSS = 28V VDSS = 20V ID = 11.2A @ 908C ID = 14.2A @ 908C RDS(ON) = 12mV @ RDS(ON) = 8.5mV @ VGS = 4.5V VGS = 4.5V PSW = From IRF7811A data sheet we obtain: The Master channel sets the output voltage and its feedback loop should take care of double pole introduced by the output filter as a regular voltage mode control loop. The goal is to provide a close loop transfer function with the highest 0dB crossing frequency and adequate phase margin. The slave feedback loop acts slightly different and its goal is using the current information for current sharing. The master feedback loop sees the output filter. The output LC filter introduces a double pole, -40dB/decade gain slope above its corner resonant frequency, and a total phase lag of 1808 (see Figure 5). The Resonant frequency of the LC filter expressed as follows: FLC(MASTER) = 1 2p ---(8) Lo3Co Figure 5 shows gain and phase of the LC filter.

First select the desired zero-crossover frequency (Fo): FO1 > FESR and FO1 [ (1/5 ~ 1/10)3 fS Use the following equation to calculate R4: 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 introduces one more pole which is mainly used to supress the switching noise.

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. The slave error amplifier is a differential-input transconductance amplifier as well, the main goal for the slave feed back loop is to control the inductor current to match the masters inductor current as well provides highest bandwidth and adequate phase margin for overall stability.

R2 = 123K; Choose R2= 130K C2 = 1023pF; Choose C2= 1000pF 12 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. www.irf.com Rev. 1.0 09/09/02 IRU3047 TYPICAL APPLICATION Dual Input: 5V and 12V to 1.5V @ 16A 3.3V to 2.5V @ 2A 5V 12V L2 1uH D1 BAT54S C3 0.1uF VCL VcH1 Vcc C8 1uF VcH2 C4 47uF C5 330uF C32 47uF C31 330uF C9 1uF C6 1uF Q1 IRF7460 HDrv1 3.3V R6 10 V C13 V OUT3 47uF Q3 IRLR2703 2.5V @ 2A C30 1uF Fb3 C18 47uF R10 1K R7 1K C1 33uF L1 1uH C2 33uF Q2 IRF7457 LDrv1 U1 PGnd IRU3047 V REF L3 2.2uH C14 470pF R3 C10,C11,C12 3x 150uF 5mV C15 1uF 1.5V @ 16A R5 4.7V R8 200 Vp2 Fb1 R16 C24 2200pF 29.4K R21 C34 6.8nF 16.5K PGood Fb2 Comp1 Comp2 Q4 IRF7460 HDrv2 PGood SS C29 0.1uF Gnd Q5 IRF7457 LDrv2 R12 1K C23 1uF L4 3.3uH C26 470pF C19,C20,C21 3x 150uF R17 5m V R19 4.7V Figure 9 - Typical application of IRU3047, configured as a 2-phase converter in current sharing mode.
