This loop contains all the high current, fast transition switching. Connections should be as wide and as short as possible to minimize loop inductance. Minimizing this loop area will a) reduce EMI, b) lower ground injection currents, resulting in electrically “cleaner” grounds for the rest of the system and c) minimize source ringing, resulting in more reliable gate switching signals. LAYOUT GUIDELINES Careful attention to layout requirements are necessary for successful implementation of the SC1182/3 PWM controller. High currents switching at 200kHz are present in the application and their effect on ground plane voltage differentials must be understood and minimized. 1). The high power parts of the circuit should be laid out first. A ground plane should be used, the number and position of ground plane interruptions should be such as to not unnecessarily compromise ground plane integrity. Isolated or semi-isolated areas of the ground plane may be deliberately introduced to constrain ground currents to particular areas, for example the input capacitor and bottom FET ground. 3). The connection between the junction of Q1, Q2 and the output inductor should be a wide trace or copper region. It should be as short as practical. Since this connection has fast voltage transitions, keeping this connection short will minimize EMI. The connection between the output inductor and the sense resistor should be a wide trace or copper area, there are no fast voltage or current transitions in this connection and length is not so important, however adding unnecessary impedance will reduce efficiency. 2). The loop formed by the Input Capacitor(s) (Cin), the Top FET (Q1) and the Bottom FET (Q2) must be kept 12V IN 5V 10 1 2 3 4 0.1uF 5 6 0.1uF 7 8 9 10 11 12 AGND GATE2 GATE1 LDVO LDOS1 VID0 LDOS2 VID1 VCC VID2 OVP VID3 PWRGOOD CS- 23 Cin 21 + 1.00k 5mOhm Vout 19 4uH 18 EN PGNDH BSTH DH BSTL DL Q1 20 VID4 PGNDL 2.32k 22 VO SENSE CS+ 24 + Q2 Cout 17 16 15 14 13 SC1182/3 RA1 Heavy lines indicate 5V Vo Lin1 Q3 + high current paths. + RB1 Cout Lin1 Cin Lin For SC1182, RA1, RA2, RB1 and RB2 are not required.

PGNDH and PGNDL should be returned to the ground plane close to the package. The AGND pin should be connected to the ground side of (one of) the output capacitor(s). If this is not possible, the AGND pin may be connected to the ground path between the Output Capacitor(s) and the Cin, Q1, Q2 loop. Under no circumstances should AGND be returned to a ground inside the Cin, Q1, Q2 loop. 5V supply through a 10Ω resistor, the Vcc pin should be decoupled directly to AGND by a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor, trace lengths should be as short as possible. 7) The Current Sense resistor and the divider across it should form as small a loop as possible, the traces running back to CS+ and CS- on the SC1182/3 should run parallel and close to each other. The 0.1µF capacitor should be mounted as close to the CS+ and CS- pins as possible. 8) Ideally, the grounds for the two LDO sections should be returned to the ground side of (one of) the output capacitor(s). 6) Vcc for the SC1182/3 should be supplied from the 5V + Vout + Currents in various parts of the power section 9 © 1998 SEMTECH CORP. 652 MITCHELL ROAD NEWBURY PARK CA 91320 PROGRAMMABLE SYNCHRONOUS DC/DC CONVERTER, DUAL LOW DROPOUT REGULATOR CONTROLLER SC1182/3 August 25, 1998 fast enough to reduce the voltage dropped across the ESR at a faster rate than the capacitor sags, hence enSWITCHING SECTION suring a good recovery from transient with no additional OUTPUT CAPACITORS - Selection begins with the excursions. most critical component. Because of fast transient load We must also be concerned with ripple current in the current requirements in modern microprocessor core output inductor and a general rule of thumb has been to supplies, the output capacitors must supply all transient allow 10% of maximum output current as ripple current. load current requirements until the current in the output Note that most of the output voltage ripple is produced inductor ramps up to the new level. Output capacitor by the inductor ripple current flowing in the output caESR is therefore one of the most important criteria. The pacitor ESR. Ripple current can be calculated from: maximum ESR can be simply calculated from: COMPONENT SELECTION R ESR ILRIPPLE= V ≤ t It Ripple current allowance will define the minimum permitted inductor value. Where Vt = Maximum transient voltage excursion I t = Transient current step For example, to meet a 100mV transient limit with a 10A load step, the output capacitor ESR must be less than 10mΩ. To meet this kind of ESR level, there are three available capacitor technologies. Each Capacitor Technology C (µF) ESR (mΩ) C (µF) ESR (mΩ) Low ESR Tantalum 330 60 6 2000 10 OS-CON 330 25 3 990 8.3 1500 44 5 7500 8.8 Low ESR Aluminum The choice of which to use is simply a cost/performance issue, with Low ESR Aluminum being the cheapest, but taking up the most space. INDUCTOR - Having decided on a suitable type and value of output capacitor, the maximum allowable value of inductor can be calculated. Too large an inductor will produce a slow current ramp rate and will cause the output capacitor to supply more of the transient load current for longer - leading to an output voltage sag below the ESR excursion calculated above. The maximum inductor value may be calculated from: L≤ POWER FETS - The FETs are chosen based on several criteria with probably the most important being power dissipation and power handling capability. TOP FET - The power dissipation in the top FET is a combination of conduction losses, switching losses and bottom FET body diode recovery losses. a) Conduction losses are simply calculated as: PCOND = I2O ⋅ R DS( on ) ⋅ δ Total Qty. Rqd. VIN 4⋅L⋅ fOSC R ESR C (VIN − VO ) It The calculated maximum inductor value assumes 100% duty cycle, so some allowance must be made. Choosing an inductor value of 50 to 75% of the calculated maximum will guarantee that the inductor current will ramp where δ = duty cycle ≈ VO VIN b) Switching losses can be estimated by assuming a switching time, if we assume 100ns then: PSW = I O ⋅ V IN ⋅ 10 − 2 or more generally, PSW = I O ⋅ VIN ⋅ ( t r + t f ) ⋅ f OSC 4 c) Body diode recovery losses are more difficult to estimate, but to a first approximation, it is reasonable to assume that the stored charge on the bottom FET body diode will be moved through the top FET as it starts to turn on. The resulting power dissipation in the top FET will be: PRR = Q RR ⋅ V IN ⋅ f OSC To a first order approximation, it is convenient to only consider conduction losses to determine FET suitability. For a 5V in; 2.8V out at 14.2A requirement, typical FET losses would be: 10 © 1998 SEMTECH CORP. 652 MITCHELL ROAD NEWBURY PARK CA 91320 PROGRAMMABLE SYNCHRONOUS DC/DC CONVERTER, DUAL LOW DROPOUT REGULATOR CONTROLLER SC1182/3 August 25, 1998 FET type RDS(on) (mΩ) PD (W) Package BUK556H 22 2.48 TO220 IRL2203 7.0 0.79 D PAK Si4410 13.5 1.53 SO-8 2 BOTTOM FET - Bottom FET losses are almost entirely due to conduction. The body diode is forced into conduction at the beginning and end of the bottom switch conduction period, so when the FET turns on and off, there is very little voltage across it, resulting in low switching losses. Conduction losses for the FET can be determined by: INPUT CAPACITORS - since the RMS ripple current in the input capacitors may be as high as 50% of the output current, suitable capacitors must be chosen accordingly. Also, during fast load transients, there may be restrictions on input di/dt. These restrictions require useable energy storage within the converter circuitry, either as extra output capacitance or, more usually, additional input capacitors. Choosing low ESR input capacitors will help maximize ripple rating for a given size. PCOND = I2O ⋅ R DS ( on ) ⋅ (1 − δ ) For the example above: FET type RDS(on) (mΩ) PD (W) Package BUK556H 22 1.95 TO220 IRL2203 7.0 0.62 D PAK Si4410 13.5 1.20 SO-8 2 Each of the package types has a characteristic thermal impedance, for the TO-220 package, thermal impedance is mostly determined by the heatsink used.
