POWER MANAGEMENT
Application Information
THEORY OF OPERATION
The gate drive status stays the same until the capacitors
voltage reaches 1V, when the error amplifier output starts
to cross the oscillator triangular ramp of 1V to 2V.
The SC1109 has integrated a synchronous buck controller and two Low drop out regulator controllers into a 16
Pin SOIC package. The switching regulator provides a 1.2V
(VTT) bus termination voltage for use in AGTL (Assisted
Gunning Transceiver Logic), while the dual LDO regulators
provide 1.5V, and 1.8V to power up the Chip set and the
Clock circuitry used in Pentium® III Motherboards.
As the SS/EN pin continues to rise, the error amplifier
output also rises at the same rate and the duty cycle
increases.
Once the VTT output has reached regulation and is within
1.2V ± 12% , an open collector power good flag is activated, and the error amplifier output will no longer be
clamped to the SS/EN voltage and will stay between 1V
to 2V and maintain regulation of ± 1%. The SS/EN voltage continues to rise up to 2.5V and will stay at that
voltage level during normal operation.
SUPPLIES
Two supplies, VSTBY, and VCC are used to power the
SC1109 . VSTBY supply provides the bias for the Internal
Reference, Oscillator, and the LDO FET controllers. This
supply should always be brought up first and turned off
last in accordance with PC power configuration requirements. The VCC supply provides the bias for the Power
Good circuitry, and the high side FET Rdson sensing/
over current circuitry, VCC also is used to drive the low
side MOSFET gate. An external 12V supply or a classical
boot strapping technique can provide the gate drive for
the upper Mosfet.
Vcc
PowerGood
PWM CONTROLLER
Soft start
SC1109 is a voltage mode buck controller that utilizes an
internally compensated high bandwidth error amplifier to
sense the VTT output voltage. External compensation components are not needed and a stable closed loop response is insured due to the internal compensation.
PhaseNode
If an over current condition occurs, the SS/EN pin will
discharge by a 2µA current source, from 2.5V to 800mV.
During this time both DH, and DL will be turned off. Once
the SS/EN reaches 800mV, the low side gate will be
turned on, and the SS/EN pin will again start to be charged
by the 10µA current source, and the same soft start sequence mentioned above will be repeated.
START UP SEQUENCE
Initially during the power up, the SC1109 is in under voltage lockout condition. The latch (SET dominant) in the
hiccup section is set , and the SS/EN pin is pulled low by
the 2µA soft start current source.
Mean while, the high side and low side gate drivers DH,
and DL are kept low. Once the VCC exceeds the UVLO
threshold of 4.2V, the latch is reset and the external soft
start capacitor starts to be charged by a 10µA current
source.
OVER CURRENT
SC1109A/B monitor the Upper MOSFETs Rdson voltage
drop due to an over current condition. This method of current sensing minimizes any unnecessary losses due to external sense resistance.
The gate drives are still kept off until the soft start capacitors voltage rises above 600mV, when the low side
gate is turned on, and the high side gate is kept off.

GATE DRIVERS
An internal comparator with a 200mV reference monitors the Drop across the upper FET, Once the Vdson of
the MOSFET exceeds the 200mV limit, the low side gate
is turned on and the upper FET is turned off. Also an
internal latch is set and the soft start capacitor is discharged. Once the lower threshold of the soft start circuit is crossed, the same softstart sequence mentioned
previously is repeated. This sequence is repeated until
the over condition is removed.
The Low side gate driver is supplied from VCC and provide
a peak source/sink current of and 500mA.
The high side gate drive is also capable of sourcing and
sinking peak currents of 500mA. The high side MOSFET
gate drive can be provided by an external 12V supply that
is connected from BST to GND. The actual gate to source
voltage of the upper MOSFET will approximately equal
7V (12V-VCC). If the external 12V supply is not available,
a classical boot strap technique can be implemented
from the VCC supply. A boot strap capacitor is connected
from BST to Phase while VCC is connected through a
diode (Schottky or other fast low VF diode) to the BST.
This will provide a gate to source voltage approximately
to VCC-Vdiode drop.

DUAL LDO CONTROLLERS
SC1109 also provides two low drop out linear regulator
controllers that can be used to generate a 1.8V and a
1.5V output. The LDO output voltage is achieved by controlling the voltage drop across an external MOSFET from
a 3.3V supply voltage.
The SC1109C utilizes an internal current source and an
external resistor connected from the OCSET pin to the
Mosfet’s supply to program a current limit level. This limit
is programmable by choosing the resistor according to
the level required. To reduce any noise pick up a 1nF
capacitor should be placed across the programing resistor. The device operation is similar to the SC1109A/B
during the over current condition as mentioned above.
 2004 Semtech Corp.
The output voltage is sensed at the LDOS pin of the SC1109
and compared to an internal reference. The gate drive to
the external MOSFET is then adjusted until regulation is
achieved. In order to have sufficient voltage to the gate
drives of the external MOSFET, an internal charge pump is
utilized to boost the gate drive voltage to about two times
the VSTBY.

LAYOUT GUIDELINES
Careful attention to layout requirements are necessary
for successful implementation of the SC1109 PWM controller. High currents switching 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.
2). The loop formed by the Input Capacitor(s) (Cin), the
Top FET (Q1) and the Bottom FET (Q2) must be kept as
small as possible. 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.
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. Also keep the Phase connection to the IC short, top FET gate charge currents
flow in this trace.
The internal charge pump charges an external Bucket
capacitor to VSTBY and then connects it in series with
VSTBY to the LDOs supply at a frequency of about
200kHz. This ensures sufficient gate drive voltage for
the LDOs independent of the VCC or the 12V external
supply being available due to start up timing sequence
from the silver box.
3.3V Vin
1.8V Vout
1.5V Vout
The LDO1, and LDO2 output voltages are forced to track
the 3.3V input supply. This feature ensures that during
the start up application of the 3.3V, the LDO1, and LDO2
outputs track the 3.3V within 200mV typical until regulation is achieved. However, the VSTBY should be established
at least 500us, to allow the charge pump to reach its
maximum voltage, before the linear section will track within
200mV. This tracking will sequence the correct start up
timing for the external Chipset and Clock circuitry.

6) BST for the SC1109 should be supplied from the 12V
supply, the BST pin should be decoupled directly to GND
by a 0.1mF ceramic capacitor, trace lengths should be as
short as possible. If a 12V supply is not available, a classical boot strap method could be implemented to achieve
the upper MOSFETs gate drive.
7) The Phase connection should be short .
8) Ideally, the grounds for the two LDO sections should
be returned to the ground side of (one of) the output
capacitor(s).
4) The Output Capacitor(s) (Cout) should be located as
close to the load as possible, fast transient load currents sre supplied by Cout only, and connections between
Cout and the load must be short, wide copper areas to
minimize inductance and resistance.
5) The SC1109 is best placed over a quiet ground plane
area, avoid pulse currents in the Cin, Q1, Q2 loop flowing
in this area. GND should be returned to the ground plane
close to the package and close to the ground side of
(one of) the output capacitor(s). If this is not possible,
the GND pin may be connected to the ground path between the Output Capacitor(s) and the Cin, Q1, Q2 loop.
Under no circumstances should GND be returned to a
ground inside the Cin, Q1, Q2 loop.

COMPONENT SELECTION
SWITCHING SECTION
OUTPUT CAPACITORS - Selection begins with the most
critical component. Because of fast transient load current requirements in modern microprocessor core supplies, the output capacitors must supply all transient load
current requirements until the current in the output inductor ramps up to the new level. Output capacitor ESR
is therefore one of the most important criteria. The maximum ESR can be simply calculated from:
RESR ≤
Vt
It
Where
Vt = Maximum transient voltage excursion
It = 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.

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
fast enough to reduce the voltage dropped across the
ESR at a faster rate than the capacitor sags, hence ensuring a good recovery from transient with no additional
excursions. We must also be concerned with ripple current in the output inductor and a general rule of thumb
has been to allow 10% of maximum output current as
ripple current. Note that most of the output voltage ripple
is produced by the inductor ripple current flowing in the
output capacitor ESR. Ripple current can be calculated
from:
=
I L RIPPLE
V IN
4 ⋅ L ⋅ f OSC
Ripple current allowance will define the minimum permitted inductor value.

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:
P COND
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.

POWER FETS - The FETs are chosen based on several
criteria with probably the most important being power

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:
PSW =

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:

Each of the package types has a characteristic thermal
impedance, for the TO-220 package, thermal impedance
is mostly determined by the heatsink used. For the surface mount packages on double sided FR4, 2 oz printed
circuit board material, thermal impedances of 40oC/W
for the D2PAK and 80oC/W for the SO-8 are readily achievable. The corresponding temperature rise is detailed below:

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:
P COND

= IO
⋅R

It is apparent that single SO-8 Si4410 are not adequate
for this application, but by using parallel pairs in each
position, power dissipation will be approximately halved
and temperature rise reduced by a factor of 4.
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.
