ONSEMI CS5161

CS5161, CS5161H
CPU 5−Bit Synchronous
Buck Controller
The CS5161/5161H are 5−bit synchronous dual N−Channel buck
controllers designed to provide unprecedented transient response for
today’s demanding high−density, high−speed logic. They operate
using a proprietary control method which allows a 100 ns response
time to load transients. The CS5161 is designed to operate over a
9−16 V range (VCC) using 12 V to power the IC and 5.0 V as the main
supply for conversion.
The CS5161H operates from a 12 V input as the main supply for
conversion using a discrete charge pump circuit to provide up to 20 V
for VCC2 and high side gate drive.
The CS5161/5161H are specifically designed to power
Pentium® III processors and other high performance core logic. They
include the following features: on board 5−bit DAC, short circuit
protection, 1.0% output tolerance, VCC monitor, and programmable
Soft Start capability. The CS5161/5161H are available in 16 pin
surface mount packages.

FUNCTION
1, 2, 3, 4, 6
VID0−VID4
Voltage ID DAC input pins. These pins are internally pulled
up to 5.0 V providing logic ones if left open. VID4 selects the
DAC range. When VID4 is High (logic one), the DAC range
is 2.10 V to 3.50 V with 100 mV increments. When VID4 is
Low (logic zero), the DAC range is 1.30 V to 2.05 V with
50 mV increments. VID0 − VID4 select the desired DAC output voltage. Leaving all 5 DAC input pins open results in a
DAC output voltage of 1.2440 V, allowing for adjustable
output voltage, using a traditional resistor divider.
5
SS
Soft Start Pin. A capacitor from this pin to LGnd in conjunction with internal 60 μA current source provides Soft Start
function for the controller. This pin disables fault detect function during Soft Start. When a fault is detected, the Soft Start
capacitor is slowly discharged by internal 2.0 μA current
source setting the time out before trying to restart the IC.
Charge/discharge current ratio of 30 sets the duty cycle for
the IC when the regulator output is shorted.
7
COFF
A capacitor from this pin to ground sets the time duration for
the on board one shot, which is used for the constant off time
architecture.
8
VFFB
Fast feedback connection to the PWM comparator. This pin
is connected to the regulator output. The inner feedback loop
terminates on time.

10
VGATE(H)
High FET driver pin capable of 1.5 A peak switching current.
Internal circuit prevents VGATE(H) and VGATE(L) from being in
high state simultaneously.
11
PGnd
High current ground for the IC. The MOSFET drivers are
referenced to this pin. Input capacitor ground and the source
of lower FET should be tied to this pin.
12
VGATE(L)
Low FET driver pin capable of 1.5 A peak switching current.
13
VCC1
Input power for the IC and low side gate driver.
14
LGnd
Signal ground for the IC. All control circuits are referenced to
this pin.
15
COMP
Error amplifier compensation pin. A capacitor to ground
should be provided externally to compensate the amplifier.
16
VFB
Error amplifier DC feedback input. This is the master voltage
feedback which sets the output voltage. This pin can be connected directly to the output or a remote sense trace.

V2 Control Method
The V2 method of control uses a ramp signal that is
generated by the ESR of the output capacitors. This ramp is
proportional to the AC current through the main inductor
and is offset by the value of the DC output voltage. This
control scheme inherently compensates for variation in
either line or load conditions, since the ramp signal is
generated from the output voltage itself. This control
scheme differs from traditional techniques such as voltage
mode, which generates an artificial ramp, and current mode,
which generates a ramp from inductor current.

Reference
Voltage
CS5161, CS5161H
The V2 control method is illustrated in Figure 3. The
output voltage is used to generate both the error signal and
the ramp signal. Since the ramp signal is simply the output
voltage, it is affected by any change in the output regardless
of the origin of that change. The ramp signal also contains
the DC portion of the output voltage, which allows the
control circuit to drive the main switch to 0% or 100% duty
cycle as required.
A change in line voltage changes the current ramp in the
inductor, affecting the ramp signal, which causes the V2
control scheme to compensate the duty cycle. Since the
change in inductor current modifies the ramp signal, as in
current mode control, the V2 control scheme has the same
advantages in line transient response.
A change in load current will have an affect on the output
voltage, altering the ramp signal. A load step immediately
changes the state of the comparator output, which controls
the main switch. Load transient response is determined only
by the comparator response time and the transition speed of
the main switch. The reaction time to an output load step has
no relation to the crossover frequency of the error signal
loop, as in traditional control methods.
The error signal loop can have a low crossover frequency,
since transient response is handled by the ramp signal loop.
The main purpose of this ‘slow’ feedback loop is to provide
DC accuracy. Noise immunity is significantly improved,
since the error amplifier bandwidth can be rolled off at a low
frequency. Enhanced noise immunity improves remote
sensing of the output voltage, since the noise associated with
long feedback traces can be effectively filtered.
Line and load regulation are drastically improved because
there are two independent voltage loops. A voltage mode
controller relies on a change in the error signal to
compensate for a deviation in either line or load voltage.
This change in the error signal causes the output voltage to
change corresponding to the gain of the error amplifier,
which is normally specified as line and load regulation. A
current mode controller maintains fixed error signal under
deviation in the line voltage, since the slope of the ramp
signal changes, but still relies on a change in the error signal
for a deviation in load. The V2 method of control maintains
a fixed error signal for both line and load variation, since the
ramp signal is affected by both line and load.
Constant off time provides a number of advantages.
Switch duty cycle can be adjusted from 0 to 100% on a pulse
by pulse basis when responding to transient conditions. Both
0% and 100% duty cycle operation can be maintained for
extended periods of time in response to load or line
transients. PWM slope compensation to avoid
sub−harmonic oscillations at high duty cycles is avoided.
Switch on time is limited by an internal 30 μs timer,
minimizing stress to the power components.
Programmable Output
The CS5161/5161H is designed to provide two methods
for programming the output voltage of the power supply. A
five bit on board digital to analog converter (DAC) is used
to program the output voltage within two different ranges.
The first range is 2.10 V to 3.50 V in 100 mV steps, the
second is 1.30 V to 2.05 V in 50 mV steps, depending on the
digital input code. If all five bits are left open, the
CS5161/5161H enters adjust mode. In adjust mode, the
designer can choose any output voltage by using resistor
divider feedback to the VFB and VFFB pins, as in traditional
controllers.
Start Up
Until the voltage on the VCC1 supply pin exceeds the
9.05 V monitor threshold, the Soft Start and gate pins are
held low. The FAULT latch is reset (no Fault condition). The
output of the error amplifier (COMP) is pulled up to 1.0 V
by the comparator clamp. When the VCC1 pin exceeds the
monitor threshold, the GATE(H) output is activated, and the
Soft Start capacitor begins charging. The GATE(H) output
will remain on, enabling the NFET switch, until terminated
by either the PWM comparator, or the maximum on time
timer.
If the maximum on time is exceeded before the regulator
output voltage achieves the 1.0 V level, the pulse is
terminated. The GATE(H) pin drives low, and the GATE(L)
pin drives high for the duration of the extended off time. This
time is set by the time out timer and is approximately equal
to the maximum on time, resulting in a 50% duty cycle. The
GATE(L) pin will then drive low, the GATE(H) pin will
drive high, and the cycle repeats.
When regulator output voltage achieves the 1.0 V level
present at the COMP pin, regulation has been achieved and
normal off time will ensue. The PWM comparator
terminates the switch on time, with off time set by the COFF
capacitor. The V2 control loop will adjust switch duty cycle
as required to ensure the regulator output voltage tracks the
output of the error amplifier.
The Soft Start and COMP capacitors will charge to their
final levels, providing a controlled turn on of the regulator
output. Regulator turn on time is determined by the COMP
Constant Off Time
To maximize transient response, the CS5161/5161H uses
a constant off time method to control the rate of output
pulses. During normal operation, the off time of the high side
switch is terminated after a fixed period, set by the COFF
capacitor. To maintain regulation, the V2 control loop varies
switch on time. The PWM comparator monitors the output
voltage ramp, and terminates the switch on time.

Normal Operation
During normal operation, switch off time is constant and
set by the COFF capacitor. Switch on time is adjusted by the
V2 control loop to maintain regulation. This results in
changes in regulator switching frequency, duty cycle, and
output ripple in response to changes in load and line. Output
voltage ripple will be determined by inductor ripple current
working into the ESR of the output capacitors (see Figures
7 and 8).

Transient Response
The CS5161/5161H V2 control loop’s 100 ns reaction
time provides unprecedented transient response to changes
in input voltage or output current. Pulse by pulse adjustment
of duty cycle is provided to quickly ramp the inductor
current to the required level. Since the inductor current
cannot be changed instantaneously, regulation is maintained
by the output capacitor(s) during the time required to slew
the inductor current.
For best transient response, a combination of a number of
high frequency and bulk output capacitors are usually used.
If the maximum on time is exceeded while responding to
a sudden increase in load current, a normal off time occurs
to prevent saturation of the output inductor.

PROTECTION AND MONITORING FEATURES
VCC1 Monitor
To maintain predictable startup and shutdown
characteristics an internal VCC1 monitor circuit is used to
prevent the part from operating below 8.70 V minimum
startup. The VCC1 monitor comparator provides hysteresis
and guarantees a 8.55 V minimum shutdown threshold.
Short Circuit Protection
A lossless hiccup mode short circuit protection feature is
provided, requiring only the Soft Start capacitor to
implement. If a short circuit condition occurs
(VFFB < 1.0 V), the VFFB low comparator sets the FAULT

latch. This causes the top MOSFET to shut off,
disconnecting the regulator from it’s input voltage. The Soft
Start capacitor is then slowly discharged by a 2.0 μA current
source until it reaches it’s lower 0.7 V threshold. The
regulator will then attempt to restart normally, operating in
it’s extended off time mode with a 50% duty cycle, while the
Soft Start capacitor is charged with a 60 μA charge current.
If the short circuit condition persists, the regulator output
will not achieve the 1.0 V low VFFB comparator threshold
before the Soft Start capacitor is charged to it’s upper 2.5 V
threshold. If this happens the cycle will repeat itself until the
short is removed. The Soft Start charge/discharge current
ratio sets the duty cycle for the pulses
(2.0 μA/60 μA = 3.3%), while actual duty cycle is half that
due to the extended off time mode (1.65%).
This protection feature results in less stress to the
regulator components, input power supply, and PC board
traces than occurs with constant current limit protection (see
Figures 12 and 13).
If the short circuit condition is removed, output voltage
will rise above the 1.0 V level, preventing the FAULT latch
from being set, allowing normal operation to resume.

Overvoltage Protection
Overvoltage protection (OVP) is provided as result of the
normal operation of the V2 control topology and requires no
additional external components. The control loop responds
to an overvoltage condition within 100 ns, causing the top
MOSFET to shut off, disconnecting the regulator from it’s
input voltage. The bottom MOSFET is then activated,
resulting in a “crowbar” action to clamp the output voltage
and prevent damage to the load (see Figures 14 and 15). The
regulator will remain in this state until the overvoltage
condition ceases or the input voltage is pulled low. The
bottom FET and board trace must be properly designed to
implement the OVP function.

Slope Compensation
The V2 control method uses a ramp signal, generated by
the ESR of the output capacitors, that is proportional to the
ripple current through the inductor. To maintain regulation,
the V2 control loop monitors this ramp signal, through the
PWM comparator, and terminates the switch on−time.
The stringent load transient requirements of modern
microprocessors require the output capacitors to have very
low ESR. The resulting shallow slope presented to the PWM
comparator, due to the very low ESR, can lead to pulse width
jitter and variation caused by both random or synchronous
noise.
Adding slope compensation to the control loop, avoids
erratic operation of the PWM circuit, particularly at lower
duty cycles and higher frequencies, where there is not
enough ramp signal, and provides a more stable switchpoint.
The scheme that prevents that switching noise
prematurely triggers the PWM circuit consists of adding a
positive voltage slope to the output of the Error Amplifier
(COMP pin) during an off−time cycle.

Both logic level and standard MOSFETs can be used. The
reference designs derive gate drive from the 12 V supply
which is generally available in most computer systems and
utilize logic level MOSFETs. Multiple MOSFETs may be
paralleled to reduce losses and improve efficiency and
thermal management.
Voltage applied to the MOSFET gates depends on the
application circuit used. Both upper and lower gate driver
outputs are specified to drive to within 1.5 V of ground when
in the low state and to within 2.0 V of their respective bias
supplies when in the high state. In practice, the MOSFET
gates will be driven rail to rail due to overshoot caused by the
capacitive load they present to the controller IC. For the

Schottky Diode for Synchronous MOSFET
A heatsink may be added to TO−220 components to
reduce their thermal impedance. A number of PC board
layout techniques such as thermal vias and additional copper
foil area can be used to improve the power handling
capability of surface mount components.
A Schottky diode may be placed in parallel with the
synchronous MOSFET to conduct the inductor current upon
turn off of the switching MOSFET to improve efficiency.
For a design operating at 200 kHz or so, the low non−overlap
time combined with Schottky forward recovery time may
make the benefits of this device not worth the additional
expense (see Figure 8, channel 2). The power dissipation in
the synchronous MOSFET due to body diode conduction
can be estimated by the following equation:
Power + VBD

EMI Management
As a consequence of large currents being turned on and off
at high frequency, switching regulators generate noise as a
consequence of their normal operation. When designing for
compliance with EMI/EMC regulations, additional
components may be added to reduce noise emissions. These
components are not required for regulator operation and
experimental results may allow them to be eliminated. The
input filter inductor may not be required because bulk filter
and bypass capacitors, as well as other loads located on the
board will tend to reduce regulator di/dt effects on the circuit
board and input power supply. Placement of the power
component to minimize routing distance will also help to
reduce emissions.

This is only 1.3% of the 36.4 W being delivered to the

Input and Output Capacitors
These components must be selected and placed carefully
to yield optimal results. Capacitors should be chosen to
provide acceptable ripple on the input supply lines and
regulator output voltage. Key specifications for input
capacitors are their ripple rating, while ESR is important for
output capacitors. For best transient response, a combination
of low value/high frequency and bulk capacitors placed
close to the load will be required.
