Output Drive Timing Diagram 8 REV. 1.0.6 6/26/01 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION Application Information The FAN5056 Controller The FAN5056 is a programmable synchronous DC-DC controller IC. When designed around the appropriate external components, the FAN5056 can be configured to deliver more than 28A of output current, as appropriate for Intel’s VRM8.5, and other processors. The FAN5056 functions as a fixed frequency PWM step down regulator. FAN5056MV85 Internal Voltage Reference The reference included in the FAN5056 is a precision bandgap voltage reference. Its internal resistors are precisely trimmed to provide a near zero temperature coefficient (TC). Based on the reference is the output from an integrated 5-bit DAC. In the FAN5056MV85, the DAC monitors the 5 voltage identification pins, VID0-4, and scales the voltage from 1.050V to 1.825V in 25mV steps according to Table I. Main Control Loop Refer to the FAN5056 Block Diagram on page 1. The FAN5056 implements “summing mode control,” which is different from both classical voltage-mode and current-mode control. It provides superior performance to either by allowing a large converter bandwidth over a wide range of output loads. The control loop of the regulator contains two main sections: the analog control block and the digital control block. The analog section consists of signal conditioning amplifiers feeding into a comparator which provides the input to the digital control block. The signal conditioning section accepts input from the DROOP (current feedback) and VFB (voltage feedback) pins and sets up two controlling signal paths. The first, the voltage control path, amplifies the difference between the VFB signal and the reference voltage from the DAC and presents the output to one of the summing amplifier inputs. The second, current control path, takes the difference between the DROOP and SW pins when the high-side MOSFET is on, reproducing the voltage across the MOSFET and thus the input current; it presents the resulting signal to another input of the summing amplifier. These two signals are then summed together. This output is then presented to a comparator looking at the oscillator ramp, which provides the main PWM control signal to the digital control block. Power Good (PWRGD) The FAN5056 Power Good function is designed in accordance with VRM8.5 and DC-DC converter specifications and provides a continuous voltage monitor on the VFB pin. The circuit compares the VFB signal to the VREF voltage and outputs an active-low interrupt signal to the CPU should either of two conditions obtain: 1) any of the linear power supply voltages deviate more than -20% from their nominal setpoint; 2) The switching power supply output is more than +14% from (VVID + 80mV), or less than –14% from (VVID – 120mV). The Power Good flag provides no other control function to the FAN5056. Output Enable/Soft Start (ENABLE/SS) The FAN5056 will accept an open collector/TTL signal for controlling the output voltage. The low state disables the output voltage. When disabled, the PWRGD output is in the low state. Even if an enable is not required in the circuit, this pin should have attached a capacitor (typically 100nF) to softstart the switching. Over-Voltage Protection There is an additional comparator in the analog control section whose function is to set the point at which the FAN5056 current limit comparator disables the output drive signals to the external power MOSFETs. The FAN5056 continuously monitors the output voltage for protection against over-voltage conditions. If the voltage at the VFB pin exceeds approximately 2.5V, an OVP circuit forces the low-side MOSFET on, over-riding all other conditions. The OVP circuit remains active, and the low-side MOSFET remains on, until the VFB voltage drops below approximately 2.1V. The OVP circuit is functional even during startup; thus, protection is provided even during startup with a shorted high-side MOSFET. High Current Output Drivers Oscillator The digital control block takes the analog comparator input and the main clock signal from the oscillator to provide the appropriate pulses to the HIDRV and LODRV output pins. These two outputs control the external power MOSFETs. The FAN5056 contains two identical high current output drivers that utilize high speed bipolar transistors in a pushpull configuration. The drivers’ power and ground are separated from the chip’s power and ground for switching noise immunity. The power supply pin, VCCP, is supplied from an external 12V source through a series resistor. The resulting voltage is sufficient to provide the gate to source drive to the external MOSFETs required in order to achieve a low RDS,ON. REV. 1.0.6 6/26/01 The FAN5056 oscillator section uses a fixed frequency of operation of 300KHz. 9 FAN5056MV85 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION Design Considerations and Component Selection Additional information on design and component selection may be found in Fairchild’s Application Note 57. MOSFET Selection This application requires N-channel Logic Level Enhancement Mode Field Effect Transistors. Desired characteristics are as follows: • Low Static Drain-Source On-Resistance, RDS,ON < 20mΩ (lower is better) • Low gate drive voltage, VGS = 4.5V rated • Power package with low Thermal Resistance • Drain-Source voltage rating > 15V. The on-resistance (RDS,ON) is the primary parameter for MOSFET selection. The on-resistance determines the power dissipation within the MOSFET and therefore significantly affects the efficiency of the DC-DC Converter. For details and a spreadsheet on MOSFET selection, refer to Applications Bulletin AB-8. Inductor Selection Choosing the value of the inductor is a trade-off between allowable ripple voltage and required transient response. The system designer can choose any value within the allowed minimum to maximum range in order to either minimize ripple or maximize transient performance. The first order equation (close approximation) for minimum inductance is: (Vin – Vout) f x Vout Vin ESR x The FAN5056 protects against output short circuit on the core supply by latching off both the high-side and low-side MOSFETs. The FAN5056 short circuit current characteristic includes a hysteresis function that prevents the DC-DC converter from oscillating in the event of a short circuit. The short circuit limit is set with the RS resistor, as given by the formula RS = ISC *RDS, on IDetect with IDetect ≈ 50µA, ISC the desired current limit, and RDS,on the high-side MOSFET’s on resistance. Remember to make the RS large enough to include the effects of initial tolerance and temperature variation on the MOSFET’s RDS,on. Alternately, use of a sense resistor in series with the source of the MOSFET, as shown in Figure 6, eliminates this source of inaccuracy in the current limit. As an example, Figure 3 shows the typical characteristic of the DC-DC converter circuit with two FDD6690A high-side MOSFETs (RDS = 17mΩ maximum at 25°C * 1.25 at 75°C = 21.25mΩ each for a total of 10.6mΩ) and a 6.19KΩ RS. Vripple where: Vin = Input Power Supply Vout = Output Voltage f = DC/DC converter switching frequency ESR = Equivalent series resistance of all output capacitors in parallel Vripple = Maximum peak to peak output ripple voltage budget. The first order equation for maximum allowed inductance is: Lmax = 2CO FAN5056 Short Circuit Current Characteristics (Vin – Vout) Dm Vtb VOUT (V) Lmin = Some margin should be maintained away from both Lmin and Lmax. Adding margin by increasing L almost always adds expense since all the variables are predetermined by system performance except for Co, which must be increased to increase L. Adding margin by decreasing L can be done by purchasing capacitors with lower ESR. The FAN5056 provides significant cost savings for the newer CPU systems that typically run at high supply current. 0 10 20 30 40 50 Output Current (A) Ipp2 Figure 3. FAN5056 Short Circuit Characteristic where: Co = The total output capacitance Ipp = Maximum to minimum load transient current Vtb = The output voltage tolerance budget allocated to load transient Dm = Maximum duty cycle for the DC/DC converter (usually 95%). 10 The converter exhibits a normal load regulation characteristic until the voltage across the MOSFET exceeds the internal short circuit threshold of 50µA * 6.2KΩ = 310mV, which occurs at 310mV/10.6mΩ = 29A. [Note that this current limit level can be as high as 310mV/6.5mΩ = 48A, if the MOSFET has typical RDS,on rather than maximum, and is at 25°C. This is the reason for using the external sense resistor.] At this point, the internal comparator trips and signals the REV. 1.0.6 6/26/01 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION controller to reduce the converter’s duty cycle to approximately 20%. This causes a drastic reduction in the output voltage as the load regulation collapses into the short circuit control mode. With a 4mΩ output short, the voltage is reduced to 29A * 4mΩ = 116mV. The output voltage does not return to its nominal value until the output current is reduced to a value within the safe operating range for the DC-DC converter. FAN5056MV85 deliver current when the high side MOSFET switches on. Figure 4 shows 3 x 1000µF, but the exact number required will vary with the speed and type of the processor. Capacitor ripple current rating is a function of temperature, and so the manufacturer should be contacted to find out the ripple current rating at the expected operational temperature. For details on the design of an input filter, refer to Applications Bulletin AB-15. Schottky Diode Selection The application circuits of Figure 1 shows a Schottky diode, D1, which is used as a free-wheeling diode to assure that the body-diode in Q2 does not conduct when the upper MOSFET is turning off and the lower MOSFET is turning on. It is undesirable for this diode to conduct because its high forward voltage drop and long reverse recovery time degrades efficiency, and so the Schottky provides a shunt path for the current. Since this time duration is very short, the selection criterion for the diode is that the forward voltage of the Schottky at the output current should be less than the forward voltage of the MOSFET’s body diode. Output Filter Capacitors The output bulk capacitors of a converter help determine its output ripple voltage and its transient response. It has already been seen in the section on selecting an inductor that the ESR helps set the minimum inductance, and the capacitance value helps set the maximum inductance. For most converters, however, the number of capacitors required is determined by the transient response and the output ripple voltage, and these are determined by the ESR and not the capacitance value. That is, in order to achieve the necessary ESR to meet the transient and ripple requirements, the capacitance value required is already very large. The most commonly used choice for output bulk capacitors is aluminum electrolytics, because of their low cost and low ESR. The only type of aluminum capacitor used should be those that have an ESR rated at 100kHz. Consult Application Bulletin AB-14 for detailed information on output capacitor selection. The output capacitance should also include a number of small value ceramic capacitors placed as close as possible to the processor; 0.1µF and 0.01µF are recommended values. 2.5µH Vin 5V 1000µF, 10V Electrolytic 0.1µF Figure 4. Input Filter Programmable Active Droop™ The FAN5056 includes Programmable Active Droop™: as the output current increases, the output voltage drops, and the amount of this drop is user adjustable. This is done in order to allow maximum headroom for transient response of the converter. The current is typically sensed by measuring the voltage across the RDS,on of the high-side MOSFET during its on time, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. To program the amount of droop, use the formula RD 14.4KΩ *Imax *Rsense VDroop *3 where Imax is the current at which the droop occurs, and Rsense is the resistance of the current sensor, either the source resistor or the high-side MOSFET’s on-resistance. For example, to get 120mV of droop with a maximum output current of 30A and a 10mΩ sense resistor, use RD = 14.4KΩ * 30A * 10mΩ/(120mV *3) = 12KΩ. The value of the product Imax*Rsense must be < 600mV for proper functioning of the droop circuit. If this product is exceeded, a lower resistance MOSFET must be used. Further details on use of the Programmable Active Droop™ may be found in Applications Bulletin AB-24. Remote Sense Input Filter The DC-DC converter design may include an input inductor between the system +5V supply and the converter input as shown in Figure 5. This inductor serves to isolate the +5V supply from the noise in the switching portion of the DC-DC converter, and to limit the inrush current into the input capacitors during power up. A value of 2.5µH is recommended. The FAN5056 offers remote sense of the output voltage to minimize the output capacitor requirements of the converter. It is highly recommended that the remote sense pin, Pin 20, be tied directly to the processor power pins, so that the effects of power plane impedance are eliminated. Further details on use of the remote sense feature of the FAN5056 may be found in Applications Bulletin AB-24. It is necessary to have some low ESR aluminum electrolytic capacitors at the input to the converter. These capacitors REV. 1.0.6 6/26/01 11 FAN5056MV85 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION Adjusting the Linear Regulators’ Output Voltages Any or all of the linear regulators’ outputs may be adjusted high to compensate for voltage drop along traces, as shown in Figure 5.

Adjusting the Output Voltage of the Linear Regulator The resistor value should be chosen as Vout R = 2KΩ* Vnom For example, to get the VADJ voltage to be 1.50V instead of 1.20V, use R = 2KΩ * [(1.50/1.20) – 1] = 500Ω. Using the FAN5056 for Vnorthbridge = 1.8V Similarly, the FAN5056 can also be used to generate Vnorthbridge = 1.8V by utilizing the AGP regulator as shown in Figure 5: tie the TYPEDET pin to ground, and use R = 399Ω. Coppermine/Tualatin VTT The adjustable regulator may be used for powering VTT in systems in which either a Coppermine or a Tualatin processor may be used, as shown in Figure 6. VGATE VTT 100Ω VFB 487Ω 3.16KΩ PCB Layout Guidelines • Placement of the MOSFETs relative to the FAN5056 is critical. Place the MOSFETs such that the trace length of the HIDRV and LODRV pins of the FAN5056 to the FET gates is minimized. A long lead length on these pins will cause high amounts of ringing due to the inductance of the trace and the gate capacitance of the FET. This noise radiates throughout the board, and, because it is switching at such a high voltage and frequency, it is very difficult to suppress. • In general, all of the noisy switching lines should be kept away from the quiet analog section of the FAN5056. That is, traces that connect to pins 1, 2, 23, and 24 (HIDRV, SW, LODRV and VCCP) should be kept far away from the traces that connect to pins 3, 20 and 21. • Place the 0.1µF decoupling capacitors as close to the FAN5056 pins as possible. Extra lead length on these reduces their ability to suppress noise. • Each VCC and GND pin should have its own via to the appropriate plane. This helps provide isolation between pins. • Place the MOSFETs, inductor, and Schottky as close together as possible for the same reasons as in the first bullet above. Place the input bulk capacitors as close to the drains of the high side MOSFETs as possible. In addition, placement of a 0.1µF decoupling cap right on the drain of each high side MOSFET helps to suppress some of the high frequency switching noise on the input of the DC-DC converter. • Place the output bulk capacitors as close to the CPU as possible to optimize their ability to supply instantaneous current to the load in the event of a current transient. Additional space between the output capacitors and the CPU will allow the parasitic resistance of the board traces to degrade the DC-DC converter’s performance under severe load transient conditions, causing higher voltage deviation. For more detailed information regarding capacitor placement, refer to Application Bulletin AB-5. • A PC Board Layout Checklist is available from Fairchild Applications. Ask for Application Bulletin AB-11.
