Output Drive Timing Diagram 12 REV. 1.0.7 6/20/02 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION Application Information Operation The FAN5092 Controller The FAN5092 is a programmable synchronous multi-phase DC-DC controller IC. It can be run as a single controller, and a second FAN5092 can then be paralleled modularly for higher currents. When designed around the appropriate external components, the FAN5092 can be configured to deliver more than 120A of output current. The FAN5092 functions as a fixed frequency PWM step down regulator, with a high efficiency mode (E*) at light load. FAN5092 The digital control block takes the analog comparator input to provide the appropriate pulses to the HDRV and LDRV output pins for each slice. These outputs control the external power MOSFETs. Remote Voltage Sense The FAN5092 has true remote voltage sense capability, eliminating errors due to trace resistance. To utilize remote sense, the VFB and AGND pins should be connected as a Kelvin trace pair to the point of regulation, such as the processor pins. The converter will maintain the voltage in regulation at that point. Care is required in layout of these grounds; see the layout guidelines in this datasheet. Main Control Loop High Current Output Drivers Refer to the FAN5092 Block Diagram on page 7. The FAN5092 consists of two interleaved synchronous buck converters, implemented with summing-mode control. Each phase has its own current feedback, and there is a common voltage feedback. The FAN5092 contains four high current output drivers that utilize MOSFETs in a push-pull configuration. The drivers for the high-side MOSFETs use the BOOT pin for input power and the SW pin for return. The drivers for the low-side MOSFETs use the VCC pin for input power and the PGND pin for return. Typically, the BOOT pin will use a charge pump as shown in Figure 1. Note that the BOOT and VCC pins are separated from the chip’s internal power and ground, BYPASS and AGND, for switching noise immunity. The two buck converters controlled by the FAN5092 are interleaved, that is, they run 180° out of phase with each other. This minimizes the RMS input ripple current, minimizing the number of input capacitors required. It also doubles the effective switching frequency, improving transient response. The FAN5092 implements “summing mode control”, which is different from both classical voltage-mode and currentmode control. It provides superior performance to either by allowing a large converter bandwidth over a wide range of output loads and external components. 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 inputs from a current sensor and a voltage sensor, with the voltage sensor being common to both slices, and the current sensor separate for each. The voltage sensor amplifies the difference between the VFB signal and the reference voltage from the DAC and presents the output to each of the two comparators. The current control path for each slice takes the difference between its PGND and SW pins when the lowside MOSFET is on, reproducing the voltage across the MOSFET and thus the input current; it presents the resulting signal to the same input of its summing amplifier, adding its signal to the voltage amplifier’s with a certain gain. These two signals are thus summed together. This sum is then presented to a comparator looking at the oscillator ramp, which provides the main PWM control signal to the digital control block. The oscillator ramps are 180° out of phase with each other, so that the two slices are on alternately. REV. 1.0.7 6/20/02 Adaptive Delay Gate Drive The FAN5092 embodies an advanced design that ensures minimum MOSFET transition times while eliminating shoot-through current. It senses the state of the MOSFETs and adjusts the gate drive adaptively to ensure that they are never on simultaneously. When the high-side MOSFET turns off, the voltage on its source begins to fall. When the voltage there reaches approximately 2.5V, the low-side MOSFETs gate drive is applied with approximately 50nsec delay. When the low-side MOSFET turns off, the voltage at the LDRV pin is sensed. When it drops below approximately 2V, the highside MOSFET’s gate drive is applied. Maximum Duty Cycle In order to ensure that the current-sensing and chargepumping work, the FAN5092 guarantees that the low-side MOSFET will be on a certain portion of each period. For low frequencies, this occurs as a maximum duty cycle of approximately 90%. Thus at 250KHz, with a period of 4µsec, the low-side will be on at least 4µsec • 10% = 400nsec. At higher frequencies, this time might fall so low as to be ineffective. The FAN5092 guarantees a minimum low-side on-time of approximately 330nsec, regardless of what duty cycle this corresponds to. Current Sensing The FAN5092 has two independent current sensors, one for each phase. Current sensing is accomplished by measuring the source-to-drain voltage of the low-side MOSFET during its on-time. Each phase has its own power ground pin, to permit the phases to be placed in different locations without affecting measurement accuracy. For best results, it is impor13 FAN5092 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION tant to connect the PGND and SW pins for each phase as a Kelvin trace pair directly to the source and drain, respectively, of the appropriate low-side MOSFET. Care is required in the layout of these grounds; see the layout guidelines in this datasheet. Current Sharing The two independent current sensors of the FAN5092 operate with their independent current control loops to guarantee that the two phases each deliver half of the total output current. The only mismatch between the two phases occurs if there is a mismatch between the RDS,on of the low-side MOSFETs. In normal usage, two FAN5092s will be operated in parallel. By connecting the ISHR pins together, the two error amps of the two ICs will be forced to operate at exactly the same duty cycle, thus ensuring very close matching of the currents of all four phases. Internal Voltage Reference The reference included in the FAN5092 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. The DAC monitors the 5 voltage identification pins, VID0-4, and scales the reference voltage from 1.100V to 1.850V in 25mV steps. BYPASS Reference The internal logic of the FAN5092 runs on 5V. To permit the IC to run with 12V only, it produces 5V internally with a linear regulator, whose output is present on the BYPASS pin. This pin should be bypassed with a 1µF capacitor for noise suppression. The BYPASS pin should not have any external load attached to it. Dynamic Voltage Adjustment per phase. The FAN5092 has interal pullups on its VID lines. External pullups should not be used. The FAN5092 can have its output voltage dynamically adjusted to accommodate low power modes. The designer must ensure that the transitions on the VID lines all occur simultaneously (within less than 500nsec) to avoid false codes generating undesired output voltages. The Power Good flag tracks the VID codes, but has a 500µsec delay transitioning from high to low; this is long enough to ensure that there will not be any glitches during dynamic voltage adjustment. Precision Current Sensing Power Good (PWRGD) The tolerances associated with the use of MOSFET current sensing can be circumvented by the use of a current sense resistor. The FAN5092 Power Good function is designed in accordance with the Pentium IV 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 the power supply voltage deviate more than +15%/-11% of its nominal setpoint. The output is guaranteed open-collector high when the power supply voltage is within +8%/-18% of its nominal setpoint. The Power Good flag provides no control functions to the FAN5092. Short Circuit Current Characteristics The FAN5092 short circuit current characteristic includes a function that protects the DC-DC converter from damage in the event of a short circuit. The short circuit limit is given by the formula 6V I SC = ------------------------------10 • R DS, on E*-mode Further enhancement in efficiency can be obtained by putting the FAN5092 into E*-mode. When the Droop pin is pulled to the 5V BYPASS voltage, the “A” phase of the FAN5092 is completely turned off, reducing in half the amount of gate charge power being consumed. E*-mode can be implemented with the circuit shown in Figure 3: Output Enable/Soft Start (ENABLE/SS) +12V The FAN5092 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. 10KΩ 10KΩ HI = E*mode on 2N2907 10KΩ FAN5092 pin25 2N2222 RDROOP Figure 3. Implementing E*-mode Control Note that the charge pump for the HIDRVs should be based on the “B” phase of the FAN5092, since the “A” phase is off in E*-mode. 14 Even if an enable is not required in the circuit, this pin should have attached a capacitor (typically 100nF) to softstart the switching. A softstart capacitor may be approximately chosen by the formula: t • 10µA C = --------------------1 + V out However, C must be ≥ 100nF. REV. 1.0.7 6/20/02 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION Oscillator The FAN5092 oscillator section runs at a frequency determined by a resistor from the RT pin to ground according to the formula 50 • 10 9 RT ( Ω ) = ---------------------f ( Hz ) The oscillator generates two square waves, 180° out of phase with each other. One is used internally, the other is sent to a second FAN5092 on the CLK pin. The square wave generates two internal sawtooth ramps, each at one-half the square wave frequency, and running 180° out of phase with each other. These ramps cause the turn-on time of the two slices to be phased apart and the four phases to be 90° apart each. The oscillator frequency of the FAN5092 can be programmed from 400KHz to 4MHz with each phase running at 100KHz to 1MHz, respectively. Selection of a frequency will depend on various system performance criteria, with higher frequency resulting in smaller components but lower efficiency. Programmable Active Droop™ The FAN5092 features Programmable Active Droop™: as the output current increases, the output voltage drops proportionately an amount that can be programmed with an external resistor. This feature is offered in order to allow maximum headroom for transient response of the converter. The current is sensed losslessly by measuring the voltage across the low-side MOSFET during its on time. Consult the section on current sensing for details. Note that this method makes the droop dependent on the temperature and initial tolerance of the MOSFET, and the droop must be calculated taking account of these tolerances. Given a maximum load current, the amount of droop can be programmed with a resistor to ground on the droop pin, according to the formula 2 • n • V Droop • RT R Droop ( Ω ) = -------------------------------------------------I max • R DS, on with VDroop the desired droop voltage, RT the oscillator resistor, Imax the load current at which the droop is desired, and RDS, on the on-state resistance of one phase low-side MOSFET. Typical response time of the FAN5092 to an output voltage change is 100nsec. Important Note! The oscillator frequency must be selected before selecting the droop resistor, because the value of RT is used in the calculation of RDroop. Over-Voltage Protection The FAN5092 constantly monitors the output voltage for protection against over-voltage conditions. If the voltage at REV. 1.0.7 6/20/02 FAN5092 the VFB pin exceeds 2.2V, an over-voltage condition is assumed and the FAN5092 latches on the external low-side MOSFET and latches off the high-side MOSFET. The DC-DC converter returns to normal operation only after VCC has been recycled. Thermal Design Considerations Because of the very large gate capacitances that the FAN5092 may be driving, the IC may dissipate substantial power. It is important to provide a path for the IC’s heat to be removed, to avoid overheating. In practice, this means that each of the pins should be connected to as large a trace as possible. Use of the heavier weights of copper on the PCB is also desirable. Since the MOSFETs also generate a lot of heat, efforts should be made to thermally isolate them from the IC. Over Temperature Protection If the FAN5092 die temperature exceeds approximately 150°C, the IC shuts itself off. It remains off until the temperature has dropped approximately 25°C, at which time it resumes normal operation. Component Selection MOSFET Selection This application requires N-channel Enhancement Mode Field Effect Transistors. Desired characteristics are as follows: • • • • • Low Drain-Source On-Resistance, RDS,ON < 10mΩ (lower is better); Power package with low Thermal Resistance; Drain-Source voltage rating > 15V; Low gate charge, especially for higher frequency operation. For the low-side MOSFET, the on-resistance (RDS,ON) is the primary parameter for selection. Because of the small duty cycle of the high-side, the on-resistance determines the power dissipation in the low-side MOSFET and therefore significantly affects the efficiency of the DC-DC converter. For high current applications, it may be necessary to use two MOSFETs in parallel for the low-side for each slice. For the high-side MOSFET, the gate charge is as important as the on-resistance, especially with a 12V input and with higher switching frequencies. This is because the speed of the transition greatly affects the power dissipation. It may be a good trade-off to select a MOSFET with a somewhat higher RDS,on, if by so doing a much smaller gate charge is available. For high current applications, it may be necessary to use two MOSFETs in parallel for the high-side for each slice. At the FAN5092’s highest operating frequencies, it may be necessary to limit the total gate charge of both the high-side and low-side MOSFETs together, to avert excess power dissipation in the IC. 15 FAN5092 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION For details and a spreadsheet on MOSFET selection, refer to Applications Bulletin AB-8. Gate Resistors Use of a gate resistor on every MOSFET is mandatory. The gate resistor prevents high-frequency oscillations caused by the trace inductance ringing with the MOSFET gate capacitance. The gate resistors should be located physically as close to the MOSFET gate as possible. The gate resistor also limits the power dissipation inside the IC, which could otherwise be a limiting factor on the switching frequency. It may thus carry significant power, especially at higher frequencies. As an example, consider the gate resistors used for the low-side MOSFETs (Q2 and Q4) in Figure 1. The FDB7045L has a maximum gate charge of 70nC at 5V, and an input capacitance of 5.4nF. The total energy used in powering the gate during one cycle is the energy needed to get it up to 5V, plus the energy to get it up to 12V: 2 1 1 E = QV + --- C • ∆V 2 = 70nC • 5V + -- 5.4nF • ( 12V – 5V ) 2 2 = 482nJ ESR = Equivalent series resistance of all output capacitors in parallel Vripple = Maximum peak to peak output ripple voltage budget. One other limitation on the minimum size of the inductor is caused by the current feedback loop stability criterion. The inductor must be greater than: L ≥ 3 • 10 – 10 • R DS, on • R Droop • ( V in – 2V o ) where L is the inductance in Henries, RDS,on is the on-state resistance of one slice’s low-side MOSFET, RDroop is the value of the droop resistor in Ohms, Vin is either 5V or 12V, and Vo is the output voltage. For most applications, this formula will not present any limitation on the selection of the inductor value. A typical value for the inductor is 1.3µH at an oscillator frequency of 1.2MHz (300KHz each slice) and 220nH at an oscillator frequency of 4MHz (1MHz each slice). For other frequencies, use the interpolating formula 6 This power is dissipated every cycle, and is divided between the internal resistance of the FAN5092 gate driver and the gate resistor. Thus, E • f • R gate P Rgate = ------------------------------------------------ = 482nJ • 300KHz • ( R gate + R internal ) 4.7Ω -------------------------------- = 19mW 4.7Ω + 1.0Ω and each gate resistor thus requires a 1/4W resistor to ensure worst case power dissipation. The same calculation may be performed for the high-side MOSFETs, bearing in mind that their gate voltage swings only the charge pump voltage of 5V. Inductor Selection Choosing the value of the inductor is a tradeoff between allowable ripple voltage and required transient response. A smaller inductor produces greater ripple while producing better transient response. In any case, the minimum inductance is determined by the allowable ripple. The first order equation (close approximation) for minimum inductance for a two-slice converter is: V in – 2 • V out V out ESR L min = ----------------------------------- • ----------- • ----------------V in V ripple f where: Vin = Input Power Supply Vout = Output Voltage f = DC/DC converter switching frequency 16 1.86 × 10 L ( nH ) ≈ -------------------------- – 240 f ( KHz ) Schottky Diode Selection The application circuit of Figure 1 shows a Schottky diode, D1 (D2 respectively), one in each slice. They are used as free-wheeling diodes to ensure that the body-diodes in the low-side MOSFETs do not conduct when the upper MOSFET is turning off and the lower MOSFETs are 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 extremely short, being minimized by the adaptive gate delay, 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. Power capability is not a criterion for this device, as its dissipation is very small. 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. For most converters, 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 REV. 1.0.7 6/20/02 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION 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. For higher frequency applications, particularly those running the FAN5092 oscillator at >1MHz, Oscon or ceramic capacitors may be considered. They have much smaller ESR than comparable electrolytics, but also much smaller capacitance. 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. Input Filter The DC-DC converter design may include an input inductor between the system main supply and the converter input as shown in Figure 4. This inductor serves to isolate the main 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 1.3µH is recommended. FAN5092 for the four slice FAN5092, where DC is the duty cycle, DC = Vout / Vin. 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-16. 1.3µH Vin +12V 1000µF, 16V Electrolytic Figure 4. Input Filter Design Considerations and Component Selection Additional information on design and component selection may be found in Fairchild’s Application Note 59. It is necessary to have some low ESR capacitors at the input to the converter. These capacitors deliver current when the high side MOSFET switches on. Because of the interleaving, the number of such capacitors required is greatly reduced from that required for a single-slice buck converter. Figure 5 shows 3 x 1000µF, but the exact number required will vary with the output voltage and current, according to the formula I out I rms = --------- 4DC – 16DC 2 4 REV. 1.0.7 6/20/02 17 FAN5092 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION PCB Layout Guidelines PC Motherboard Sample Layout and Gerber File • Placement of the MOSFETs relative to the FAN5092 is critical. Place the MOSFETs such that the trace length of the HIDRV and LODRV pins of the FAN5092 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. A reference design for motherboard implementation of the FAN5092 along with the PCAD layout Gerber file and silk screen can be obtained through your local Fairchild representative. • In general, all of the noisy switching lines should be kept away from the quiet analog section of the FAN5092. That is, traces that connect to pins 9-20 (LDRV, HDRV, GND and BOOT) should be kept far away from the traces that connect to pins 1 through 8, and pins 21-28. • Place the 0.1µF decoupling capacitors as close to the FAN5092 pins as possible. Extra lead length on these reduces their ability to suppress noise. FAN5092 Evaluation Board Fairchild provides an evaluation board to verify the system level performance of the FAN5092. It serves as a guide to performance expectations when using the supplied external components and PCB layout. Please contact your local Fairchild representative for an evaluation board. Additional Information For additional information contact your local Fairchild representative. • Each power and ground pin should have its own via to the appropriate plane. This helps provide isolation between pins. • Place the MOSFETs, inductor, and Schottky of a given slice 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.
