LM5115 www.ti.com SNVS343E – MARCH 2005 – REVISED MARCH 2013 LM5115 Secondary Side Post Regulator / Synchronous Buck Controller Check for Samples: LM5115 FEATURES DESCRIPTION • • • • The LM5115 is a versatile switching regulator controller. It has two main application configurations. The first is utilizing the Secondary Side Post Regulation (SSPR) technique to implement multiple output power converters. In the second configuration, it can be used as a standalone synchronous buck controller (Please see Standalone DC/DC Synchronous Buck Mode for more details). The SSPR technique develops a highly efficient and well regulated auxiliary output from the secondary side switching waveform of an isolated power converter. Regulation of the auxiliary output voltage is achieved by leading edge pulse width modulation (PWM) of the main channel duty cycle. Leading edge modulation is compatible with either current mode or voltage mode control of the main output. The LM5115 drives external high side and low side NMOS power switches configured as a synchronous buck regulator. A current sense amplifier provides overload protection and operates over a wide common mode input range. Additional features include a low dropout (LDO) bias regulator, error amplifier, precision reference, adaptive dead time control of the gate signals and thermal shutdown. 1 2 • • • • • • • • • Self-Synchronization to Main Channel Output Standalone DC/DC Synchronous Buck Mode Leading Edge Pulse Width Modulation Voltage-Mode Control with Current Injection and Input Line Feed-Forward Operates from AC or DC Input up to 75V Wide 4.5V to 30V Bias Supply Range Wide 0.75V to 13.5V Output Range.

The SSPR technique develops a highly efficient and well regulated auxiliary output from the secondary side switching waveform of an isolated power converter. Regulation of the auxiliary output voltage is achieved by leading edge pulse width modulation (PWM) of the main channel duty cycle. Leading edge modulation is compatible with either current mode or voltage mode control of the main output. The LM5115 drives external high side and low side NMOS power switches configured as a synchronous buck regulator. A current sense amplifier provides overload protection and operates over a wide common mode input range from 0V to 13.5V. Additional features include a low dropout (LDO) bias regulator, error amplifier, precision reference, adaptive dead time control of the gate driver signals and thermal shutdown. A programmable oscillator provides a PWM clock signal when the LM5115 is powered by a dc input (free-run mode) instead of the phase signal of the main channel converter (SSPR mode). Low Drop-Out Bias Regulator (VCC) The LM5115 contains an internal LDO regulator that operates over an input supply range from 4.5V to 30V. The output of the regulator at the VCC pin is nominally regulated at 7V and is internally current limited to 40mA. VCC is the main supply to the internal logic, PWM controller, and gate driver circuits. When power is applied to the VBIAS pin, the regulator is enabled and sources current into an external capacitor connected to the VCC pin. The recommended output capacitor range for the VCC regulator is 0.1uF to 100uF. When the voltage at the VCC pin reaches the VCC under-voltage lockout threshold of 4.25V, the controller is enabled. The controller is disabled if VCC falls below 4.0V (250mV hysteresis). In applications where an appropriate regulated dc bias supply is available, the LM5115 controller can be powered directly through the VCC pin instead of the VBIAS pin. In this configuration, it is recommended that the VCC and the VBIAS pins be connected together such that the external bias voltage is applied to both pins. The allowable VCC range when biased from an external supply is 4.5V to 7V. Synchronization (SYNC) and Feed-Forward (RAMP) The pulsing “phase signal” from the main converter synchronizes the PWM ramp and gate drive outputs of the LM5115. The phase signal is the square wave output from the transformer secondary winding before rectification (Figure 1). A resistor connected from the phase signal to the low impedance SYNC pin produces a square wave current (ISYNC) as shown in Figure 13. A current comparator at the SYNC input monitors ISYNC relative to an internal 15µA reference. When ISYNC exceeds 15µA, the internal clock signal (CLK) is reset and the capacitor connected to the RAMP begins to charge. The current source that charges the RAMP capacitor is equal to 3 times the ISYNC current. The falling edge of the phase signal sets the CLK signal and discharges the RAMP capacitor until the next rising edge of the phase signal. The RAMP capacitor is discharged to ground by a low impedance (100Ω) n-channel MOSFET. The input impedance at SYNC pin is 2.5kΩ which is normally much less than the external SYNC pin resistance.

Varying the input voltage to the main converter produces proportional variations in amplitude of the phase signal. The main channel PWM controller adjusts the pulse width of the phase signal to maintain constant volt*seconds and a regulated main output as shown in Figure 14. The variation of the phase signal amplitude and duration are reflected in the slope and duty cycle of the RAMP signal of the LM5115 (ISYNC α phase signal amplitude). As a result, the duty cycle of the LM5115 is automatically adjusted to regulate the auxiliary output voltage with virtually no change in the PWM threshold voltage. Transient line regulation is improved because the PWM duty cycle of the auxiliary converter is immediately corrected, independent of the delays of the voltage regulation loop. 12V Phase signal 6V Main Output = 3.3V RAMP pin PWM Threshold 12V HS pin 6V Secondary Output = 2.5V Figure 14. Line Feed-forward Waveforms The recommended SYNC input current range is 50µA to 150µA. The SYNC pin resistor (RSYNC) should be selected to set the SYNC current (ISYNC) to 150µA with the maximum phase signal amplitude, VPHASE(max). This will ensure that ISYNC stays within the recommended range over a 3:1 change in phase signal amplitude. The SYNC pin resistor is therefore: RSYNC = (VPHASE(max) / 150µA) - 2.5kΩ (1) Once ISYNC has been established by selecting RSYNC, the RAMP signal amplitude may be programmed by selecting the proper RAMP pin capacitor value. The recommended peak amplitude of the RAMP waveform is 1V to 1.75V. The CRAMP capacitor is chosen to provide the desired RAMP amplitude with the nominal phase signal voltage and pulse width. CRAMP = (3 x ISYNC x TON ) / VRAMP where • • • • CRAMP = RAMP pin capacitance ISYNC = SYNC pin current current TON = corresponding phase signal pulse width VRAMP = desired RAMP amplitude (1V to 1.75V) (2) For example, Main channel output = 3.3V. Phase signal maximum amplitude = 12V. Phase signal frequency = 250kHz • Set ISYNC = 150µA with phase signal at maximum amplitude (12V): – ISYNC = 150µA = VPHASE(max) / (RSYNC + 2.5 kΩ) = 12V / (RSYNC + 2.5 kΩ) – RSYNC = 12V/150µA - 2.5kΩ = 77.5kΩ • TON = Main channel duty cycle / Phase frequency = (3.3V/12V) / 250kHz = 1.1µs • Assume desired VRAMP = 1.5V • CRAMP = (3 x ISYNC x TON ) / VRAMP = (3 x 150µA x 1.1µs) / 1.5V • CRAMP = 330pF 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2005–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM5115 LM5115 www.ti.com SNVS343E – MARCH 2005 – REVISED MARCH 2013 Error Amplifier and Soft-Start (FB, CO, & COMP, SS) An internal wide bandwidth error amplifier is provided within the LM5115 for voltage feedback to the PWM controller. The amplifier’s inverting input is connected to the FB pin. The output of the auxiliary converter is regulated by connecting a voltage setting resistor divider between the output and the FB pin. Loop compensation networks are connected between the FB pin and the error amplifier output (COMP). The amplifier’s non-inverting input is internally connected to the SS pin. The SS pin is biased at 0.75V by a resistor divider connected to the internal 1.27V bandgap reference. When the VCC voltage is below the UVLO threshold, the SS pin is discharged to ground. When VCC rises and exceeds the positive going UVLO threshold (4.25V), the SS pin is released and allowed to rise. If an external capacitor is connected to the SS pin, it will be charged by the internal resistor divider to gradually increase the non-inverting input of the error amplifier to 0.75V. The equivalent impedance of the SS resistor divider is nominally 60kΩ which determines the charging time constant of the SS capacitor. During start-up, the output of the LM5115 converter will follow the exponential equation: VOUT(t) = VOUT(final) x (1 - exp(-t/RSS x CSS)) where • • • Rss = internal resistance of SS pin (60kΩ) Css = external Soft-Start capacitor VOUT(final) = regulator output set point (3) The initial Δv / Δt of the output voltage is VOUT(final) / Rss x Css and VOUT will be within 1% of the final regulation level after 4.6 time constants or when t = 4.6 x Rss x Css. Pull-up current for the error amplifier output is provided by an internal 300µA current source. The PWM threshold signal at the COMP pin can be controlled by either the open drain error amplifier or the open drain current amplifier connected through the CO pin to COMP. Since the internal error amplifier is configured as an open drain output it can be disabled by connecting FB to ground. The current sense amplifier and current limiting function will be described in a later section. Leading Edge Pulse Width Modulation Unlike conventional voltage mode controllers, the LM5115 implements leading edge pulse width modulation. A current source equal to 3 times the ISYNC current is used to charge the capacitor connected to the RAMP pin as shown in Figure 15. The ramp signal and the output of the error amplifier (COMP) are combined through a resistor network to produce a voltage ramp with variable dc offset (CRMIX in Figure 15). The high side MOSFET which drives the HS pin is held in the off state at the beginning of the phase signal. When the voltage of CRMIX exceeds the internal threshold voltage CV, the PWM comparator turns on the high side MOSFET. The HS pin rises and the MOSFET delivers current from the main converter phase signal to the output of the auxiliary regulator. The PWM cycle ends when the phase signal falls and power is no longer supplied to the drain of the high side MOSFET.

If trailing edge modulation were used, the additional load on the transformer secondary from the auxiliary channel would be drawn only during the first portion of the phase signal pulse. Referring to Figure 16, the turn off the high side MOSFET of the auxiliary regulator would create a nonmonotonic negative step in the transformer current. This negative current step would produce instability in a peak current mode controller. With leading edge modulation, the additional load presented by the auxiliary regulator on the transformer secondary will be present during the latter portion of the phase signal. This positive step in the phase signal current can be accommodated by a peak current mode controller without instability.

Leading versus Trailing Edge Modulation Voltage Mode Control with Current Injection The LM5115 controller uniquely combines elements and benefits of current mode control in a voltage mode PWM controller. The current sense amplifier shown in Figure 17 monitors the inductor current as it flows through a sense resistor connected between CS and VOUT. The voltage gain of the sense amplifier is nominally equal to 16. The current sense output signal is shifted by 1.27V to produce the internal CV reference signal. The CV signal is applied to the negative input of the PWM comparator and compared to CRMIX as illustrated in Figure 15. Thus the PWM threshold of the voltage mode controller (CV) varies with the instantaneous inductor current. Insure that the Vbias voltage is at least 3V above the regulated output voltage (VOUT).

This current injection eliminates the lead R-C lead network in the feedback path that is normally required with voltage mode control (see Figure 18). Eliminating the lead network not only simplifies the compensation, but also reduces sensitivity to output noise that could pass through the lead network to the error amplifier. The design of the voltage feedback path through the error amp begins with the selection of R1 and R2 in Figure 18 to set the regulated output voltage. The steady state output voltage after soft-start is determined by the following equation: VOUT(final) = 0.75V x (1+R1/R2) (4) The parallel impedance of the R1, R2 resistor divider should be approximately 2kΩ (between 0.5kΩ and 5kΩ). Lower resistance values may not be properly driven by the error amplifier output and higher feedback resistances can introduce noise sensitivity. The next step in the design process is selection of R3, which sets the ac gain of the error amplifier. The ac gain is given by the following equation and should be set to a value less than 30. GAIN(ac) = R3/(R1|| R2) < 30 (5) The capacitor C1 is connected in series with R3 to increase the dc gain of the voltage regulation loop and improve output voltage accuracy. The corner frequency set by R3 x C1 should be less than 1/10th of the crossover frequency of the overall converter such that capacitor C1 does not add phase lag at the crossover frequency. Capacitor C2 is added to reduce the noise in the voltage control loop. The value of C2 should be less than 500pF and C2 may not be necessary with very careful PC board layout.

Voltage Sensing and Feedback Current Limiting (CS, CO and VOUT) Current limiting is implemented through the current sense amplifier as illustrated in Figure 17. The current sense amplifier monitors the inductor current that flows through a sense resistor connected between CS and VOUT. The voltage gain of the current sense amplifier is nominally equal to 16. The output of current sense signal is shifted by 1.27V to produce the internal CV reference signal. The CV signal drives a current limit amplifier with nominal transconductance of 16mA/V. The current limit amplifier has an open drain (sink only) output stage and its output pin CO is typically connected to the COMP pin. During normal operation, the voltage error amplifier controls the COMP pin voltage which adjusts the PWM duty cycle by varying the internal CRMIX level (Figure 15). However, when the current sense input voltage VCL exceeds 45mV, the current limit amplifier pulls down on COMP through the CO pin. Pulling COMP low reduces the CRMIX signal below the CV signal level. When CRMIX does not exceed the CV signal, the PWM comparator inhibits output pulses until the CRMIX signal increases to a normal operating level. Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2005–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM5115 13 LM5115 SNVS343E – MARCH 2005 – REVISED MARCH 2013 www.ti.com A current limit fold-back feature is provided by the LM5115 to reduce the peak output current delivered to a shorted load. When the common mode input voltage to the current sense amplifier (CS and VOUT pins) falls below 2V, the current limit threshold is reduced from the normal level. At common mode voltages > 2V, the current limit threshold is nominally 45mV. When VOUT is reduced to 0V the current limit threshold drops to 36mV to reduce stress on the inductor and power MOSFETs. Negative Current Limit When inductor current flows from the regulator output through the low side MOSFET, the input to the current sense comparator becomes negative. The intent of the negative current comparator is to protect the low side MOSFET from excessive currents. Negative current can lead to large negative voltage spikes on the output at turn off which can damage circuitry powered by the output. The negative current comparator threshold is sufficiently negative to allow inductor current to reverse at no load or light load conditions. It is not intended to support discontinuous conduction mode with diode emulation by the low side MOSFET. The negative current comparator shown illustrated in Figure 17 monitors the CV signal and compares this signal to a fixed 1V threshold. This corresponds to a negative VCL voltage between CS and VOUT of -17mV. The negative current limit comparator turns off the low side MOSFET for the remainder of the cycle when the VCL input falls below this threshold. Gate Drivers Outputs (HO & LO) The LM5115 provides two gate driver outputs, the floating high side gate driver HO and the synchronous rectifier low side driver LO. The low side driver is powered directly by the VCC regulator. The high side gate driver is powered from a bootstrap capacitor connected between HB and HS. An external diode connected between VCC and HB charges the bootstrap capacitor when the HS is low. When the high side MOSFET is turned on, HB rises with HS to a peak voltage equal to VCC + VHS - VD where VD is the forward drop of the external bootstrap diode. Both output drivers have adaptive dead-time control to avoid shoot through currents. The adaptive dead-time control circuit monitors the state of each driver to ensure that the opposing MOSFET is turned off before the other is turned on. The HB and VCC capacitors should be placed close to the pins of the LM5115 to minimize voltage transients due to parasitic inductances and the high peak output currents of the drivers. The recommended range of the HB capacitor is 0.047µF to 0.22µF. Both drivers are controlled by the PWM logic signal from the PWM latch. When the phase signal is low, the outputs are held in the reset state with the low side MOSFET on and the high side MOSFET off. When the phase signal switches to the high state, the PWM latch reset signal is de-asserted. The high side MOSFET remains off until the PWM latch is set by the PWM comparator (CRMIX > CV as shown in Figure 15). When the PWM latch is set, the LO driver turns off the low side MOSFET and the HO driver turns on the high side MOSFET. The high side pulse is terminated when the phase signal falls and SYNC input comparator resets the PWM latch. Thermal Protection Internal thermal shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the integrated circuit in the event the maximum junction temperature limit is exceeded. When activated, typically at 165 degrees Celsius, the controller is forced into a low power standby state with the output drivers and the bias regulator disabled. The device will restart when the junction temperature falls below the thermal shutdown hysteresis, which is typically 25 degrees. The thermal protection feature is provided to prevent catastrophic failures from accidental device overheating. Standalone DC/DC Synchronous Buck Mode The LM5115 can be configured as a standalone DC/DC synchronous buck controller. In this mode the LM5115 uses leading edge modulation in conjunction with valley current mode control to control the synchronous buck power stage. The internal oscillator within the LM5115 sets the clock frequency for the high and low side drivers of the external synchronous buck power MOSFETs . The clock frequency in the synchronous buck mode is programmed by the SYNC pin resistor and RAMP pin capacitor. Connecting a resistor between a dc bias supply and the SYNC pin produces a current, ISYNC, which sets the charging current of the RAMP pin capacitor . The RAMP capacitor is charged until its voltage reaches the peak ramp threshold of 2.25V. The RAMP capacitor is then discharged for 300ns before beginning a new PWM cycle. The 300ns reset time of the RAMP pin sets the minimum off time of the PWM controller in this mode. The internal clock frequency in the synchronous buck mode is set by ISYNC, the ramp capacitor, the peak ramp threshold, and the 300ns deadtime.
