NSC LM5642_07

LM5642/LM5642X
High Voltage, Dual Synchronous Buck Converter with
Oscillator Synchronization
General Description
Features
The LM5642 series consists of two current mode synchronous buck regulator controllers operating 180° out of
phase with each other at a normal switching frequency of
200kHz for the LM5642 and at 375kHz for the LM5642X.
Out of phase operation reduces the input RMS ripple current,
thereby significantly reducing the required input capacitance.
The switching frequency can be synchronized to an external
clock between 150kHz and 250kHz for the LM5642 and between 200 kHz and 500 kHz for the LM5642X. The two
switching regulator outputs can also be paralleled to operate
as a dual-phase, single output regulator.
The output of each channel can be independently adjusted
from 1.3V to 90% of Vin. An internal 5V rail is also available
externally for driving bootstrap circuitry.
Current-mode feedback control assures excellent line and
load regulation and wide loop bandwidth for excellent response to fast load transients. Current is sensed across either
the Vds of the top FET or across an external current-sense
resistor connected in series with the drain of the top FET.
The LM5642 features analog soft-start circuitry that is independent of the output load and output capacitance making the
soft-start behavior more predictable and controllable than traditional soft-start circuits.
Over-voltage protection is available for both outputs. A UVDelay pin is also available to allow delayed shut off time for
the IC during an output under-voltage event.

UV_DELAY (Pin 6): A capacitor from this pin to ground sets
the delay time for UVP. The capacitor is charged from a 5µA
current source. When UV_DELAY charges to 2.3V (typical),
the system immediately latches off. Connecting this pin to
ground will disable the output under-voltage protection.
VLIN5 (Pin 7): The output of an internal 5V LDO regulator
derived from VIN. It supplies the internal bias for the chip and
powers the bootstrap circuitry for gate drive. Bypass this pin
to signal ground with a minimum of 4.7µF ceramic capacitor.
SGND (Pin 8): The ground connection for the signal-level circuitry. It should be connected to the ground rail of the system.
ON/SS1 (Pin 9): Channel 1 enable pin. This pin is internally
pulled up to one diode drop above VLIN5. Pulling this pin below 1.2V (open-collector type) turns off Channel 1. If both ON/
SS1 and ON/SS2 pins are pulled below 1.2V, the whole chip
goes into shut down mode. Adding a capacitor to this pin provides a soft-start feature that minimizes inrush current and
output voltage overshoot.
ON/SS2 (Pin 10): Channel 2 enable pin. See the description
for Pin 9, ON/SS1. May be connected to ON/SS1 for simultaneous startup or for parallel operation.
FB2 (Pin 11): Feedback input for channel 2. Connect to
VOUT through a voltage divider to set the Channel 2 output
voltage.
COMP2 (Pin 12): Compensation pin for Channel 2. This is
the output of the internal transconductance error amplifier.
The loop compensation network should be connected between this pin and the signal ground SGND (Pin 8).
ILIM2 (Pin 13): Current limit threshold setting for Channel 2.
See ILIM1 (Pin 2).
KS2 (Pin 14): The positive (+) Kelvin sense for the internal
current sense amplifier of Channel 2. See KS1 (Pin 1).
Pin Descriptions
KS1 (Pin 1): The positive (+) Kelvin sense for the internal
current sense amplifier of Channel 1. Use a separate trace to
connect this pin to the current-sense point. It should be connected to VIN as close as possible to the current-sense
resistor. When no current-sense resistor is used, connect as
close as possible to the drain node of the upper MOSFET.
ILIM1 (Pin 2): Current limit threshold setting for Channel 1. It
sinks a constant current of 9.9µA, which is converted to a
voltage across a resistor connected from this pin to VIN. The
voltage across the resistor is compared with either the VDS of
the top MOSFET or the voltage across the external current
sense resistor to determine if an over-current condition has
occurred in Channel 1.
COMP1 (Pin 3): Compensation pin for Channel 1. This is the
output of the internal transconductance error amplifier. The
loop compensation network should be connected between
this pin and the signal ground, SGND (Pin 8).
FB1 (Pin 4): Feedback input for channel 1. Connect to VOUT
through a voltage divider to set the Channel 1 output voltage.
SYNC (Pin 5): The switching frequency of the LM5642 can
be synchronized to an external clock.
SYNC = LOW: Free running at 200kHz for LM5642, and at
375kHz for LM5642X. Channels are 180° out of phase.
SYNC = HIGH: Waiting for external clock
SYNC = Falling Edge: Channel 1 HDRV pin goes high.
Channel 2 HDRV pin goes high after 2.5µs delay. The maximum SYNC pulse width must be greater than 100ns.
For SYNC = Low operation, connect this pin to signal ground
through a 220kΩ resistor.

PGND (Pin 21): The power ground connection for both channels. Connect to the ground rail of the system.
VIN (Pin 22): The power input pin for the chip. Connect to the
positive (+) input rail of the system. This pin must be connected to the same voltage rail as the top FET drain (or the
current sense resistor when used).
LDRV1 (Pin 23): Low-side gate-drive output for Channel 1.
VDD1 (Pin 24): The supply rail for Channel 1 low-side gate
drive. Tie this pin to VDD2 (Pin 19).
CBOOT1 (Pin 25): : Bootstrap capacitor connection. This pin
serves as the positive supply rail for the Channel 1 top-side
gate drive. See CBOOT2 (Pin 18).
HDRV1 (Pin 26): Top-side gate-drive output for Channel 1.
See HDRV2 (Pin 17).
SW1 (Pin 27): Switch-node connection for Channel 1. See
SW2 (Pin16).
RSNS1 (Pin 28): The negative (-) Kelvin sense for the internal
current sense amplifier of Channel 1. See RSNS2 (Pin 15).
PGND (DAP): The power ground connection for both channels. Connect to the ground rail of the system. Use of multiple
vias to internal ground plane or GND layer helps to dissipate
heat generated by output power.

LM5642/LM5642X
RSNS2 (Pin 15): The negative (-) Kelvin sense for the internal
current sense amplifier of Channel 2. Connect this pin to the
low side of the current sense resistor that is placed between
VIN and the drain of the top MOSFET. When the Rds of the
top MOSFET is used for current sensing, connect this pin to
the source of the top MOSFET. Always use a separate trace
to form a Kelvin connection to this pin.
SW2 (Pin 16): Switch-node connection for Channel 2, which
is connected to the source of the top MOSFET of Channel 2.
It serves as the negative supply rail for the top-side gate driver, HDRV2.
HDRV2 (Pin 17): Top-side gate-drive output for Channel 2.
HDRV is a floating drive output that rides on the corresponding switching-node voltage.
CBOOT2 (Pin 18): Bootstrap capacitor connection. It serves
as the positive supply rail for the Channel 2 top-side gate
drive. Connect this pin to VDD2 (Pin 19) through a diode, and
connect the low side of the bootstrap capacitor to SW2
(Pin16).
VDD2 (Pin 19): The supply rail for the Channel 2 low-side
gate drive. Connected to VLIN5 (Pin 7) through a 4.7Ω resistor and bypassed to power ground with a ceramic capacitor
of at least 1µF. Tie this pin to VDD1 (Pin 24).
LDRV2 (Pin 20): Low-side gate-drive output for Channel 2.

Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Range indicates conditions for which the device is
intended to be functional, but does not guarantee specfic performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed
test conditions.
Note 2: ON/SS1 and ON/SS2 are internally pulled up to one diode drop above VLIN5. Do not apply an external pull-up voltage to these pins. It may cause damage
to the IC.
Note 3: The maximum allowable power dissipation is calculated by using PDMAX = (TJMAX - TA)/θJA, where TJMAX is the maximum junction temperature, TA is the
ambient temperature and θJA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the specified package. The power dissipation ratings results from using 125°C, 25°
C, and 90.6°C/W for TJMAX, TA, and θJA respectively. A θJA of 90.6°C/W represents the worst-case condition of no heat sinking of the 28-pin TSSOP. The eTSSOP
package has a θJA of 29°C/W. The eTSSOP package thermal ratings results from the IC being mounted on a 4 layer JEDEC standard board using the same
temperature conditions as the TSSOP package above. A thermal shutdown will occur if the temperature exceeds the maximum junction temperature of the device.
Note 4: For detailed information on soldering plastic small-outline packages, refer to the Packaging Databook available from National Semiconductor Corporation.
Note 5: For testing purposes, ESD was applied using the human-body model, a 100pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor.
Note 6: A typical is the center of characterization data measured with low duty cycle pulse tsting at TA = 25°C. Typicals are not guaranteed.
Note 7: All limits are guaranteed. All electrical characteristics having room-temperature limits are tested during production with TA = TJ = 25°C. All hot and cold
limits are guaranteed by correlating the electrical characteristics to process and temperature variations and applying statistical process control.
Note 8: Both switching controllers are off. The linear regulator VLIN5 remains on.
Note 9: When SS1 and SS2 pins are charged above this voltage and either of the output voltages at Vout1 or Vout2 is still below the regulation limit, the under
voltage protection feature is initialized.

Operating Descriptions
SOFT START
The ON/SS1 pin has dual functionality as both channel enable
and soft start control. Referring to the soft start block diagram
is shown in Figure 3, the LM5642 will remain in shutdown
mode while both soft start pins are grounded.
In a normal application (with a soft start capacitor connected
between the ON/SS1 pin and SGND) soft start functions as
follows: As the input voltage rises (note, Iss starts to flow when
VIN ≥ 2.2V), the internal 5V LDO starts up, and an internal
2.4µA current charges the soft start capacitor. During soft
start, the error amplifier output voltage at the COMPx pin is
clamped at 0.55V and the duty cycle is controlled only by the
soft start voltage. As the SSx pin voltage ramps up, the duty
cycle increases proportional to the soft start ramp, causing
the output voltage to ramp up. The rate at which the duty cycle
increases depends on the capacitance of the soft start capacitor. The higher the capacitance, the slower the output
voltage ramps up. When the corresponding output voltage
exceeds 98% (typical) of the set target voltage, the regulator
switches from soft start to normal operating mode. At this
time, the 0.55V clamp at the output of the error amplifier releases and peak current feedback control takes over. Once
in peak current feedback control mode, the output voltage of
the error amplifier will travel within a 0.5V and 2V window to
achieve PWM control. See Figure 4.
The amount of capacitance needed for a desired soft-start
time can be approximated in the following equation:
20060106
FIGURE 3. Soft-Start and ON/OFF
20060107
(1)
FIGURE 4. Voltage Clamp at COMPx Pin
In this equation Iss = 2.4µA for one channel and 4.8µA if the
channels are paralleled. tss is the desired soft-start time.
Finally,
(2)
During soft start, over-voltage protection and current limit remain in effect. The under voltage protection feature is activated when the ON/SS pin exceeds the timeout threshold
(3.4V typical). If the ON/SSx capacitor is too small, the duty
cycle may increase too rapidly, causing the device to latch off
due to output voltage overshoot above the OVP threshold.
This becomes more likely in applications with low output voltage, high input voltage and light load. A capacitance of 10nF
is recommended at each soft start pin to provide a smooth
monotonic output ramp.
20060108
FIGURE 5. OVP and UVP
OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION (OVP)
If the output voltage on either channel rises above 113% of
nominal, over voltage protection activates. Both channels will
latch off. When the OVP latch is set, the high side FET driver,
HDRVx, is immediately turned off and the low side FET driver,
LDRVx, is turned on to discharge the output capacitor through
the inductor. To reset the OVP latch, either the input voltage
must be cycled, or both channels must be switched off (both
ON/SS pins pulled low).
www.national.com
14
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The LM5642 IC will enter thermal shutdown if the die temperature exceeds 160°C. The top and bottom FETs of both
channels will be turned off immediately. In addition, both soft
start capacitors will begin to discharge through separate
5.5µA current sinks. The voltage on both capacitors will settle
to approximately 1.1V, where it will remain until the thermal
shutdown condition has cleared. The IC will return to normal
operating mode when the die temperature has fallen to below
146°C. At this point the two soft start capacitors will begin to
charge with their normal 2.4µA current sources. This allows
a controlled return to normal operation, similar to the soft start
during turn-on. If the thermal shutdown condition clears before the voltage on the soft start capacitors has fallen to 1.1V,
the capacitors will first be discharged to 1.1V, and then immediately begin charging back up.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR DISCHARGE
Each channel has an embedded 480Ω MOSFET with the
drain connected to the SWx pin. This MOSFET will discharge
the output capacitor of its channel if its channel is off, or the
IC enters a fault state caused by one of the following conditions:
1. UVP
2. UVLO
If an output over voltage event occurs, the HDRVx will be
turned off and LDRVx will be turned on immediately to discharge the output capacitors of both channels through the
inductors.
20060109
FIGURE 6. HDRV Series Resistor
CURRENT SENSING AND LIMITING
As shown in Figure 7, the KSx and RSNSx pins are the inputs
of the current sense amplifier. Current sensing is accomplished either by sensing the Vds of the top FET or by sensing
the voltage across a current sense resistor connected from
VIN to the drain of the top FET. The advantages of sensing
current across the top FET are reduced parts count, cost and
power loss.
The RDS-ON of the top FET is not as stable over temperature
and voltage as a sense resistor, hence great care must be
used in layout for VDS sensing circuits. At input voltages above
30V, the maximum recommended output current is 5A per
channel.
Keeping the differential current-sense voltage below 200mV
ensures linear operation of the current sense amplifier. Therefore, the RDS-ON of the top FET or the current sense resistor
must be small enough so that the current sense voltage does
not exceed 200mV when the top FET is on. There is a leading
edge blanking circuit that forces the top FET on for at least
166ns. Beyond this minimum on time, the output of the PWM
comparator is used to turn off the top FET. Additionally, a
minimum voltage of at least 50mV across Rsns is recommended to ensure a high SNR at the current sense amplifier.
Assuming a maximum of 200mV across Rsns, the current
sense resistor can be calculated as follows:
BOOTSTRAP DIODE SELECTION
The bootstrap diode and capacitor form a supply that floats
above the switch node voltage. VLIN5 powers this supply,
creating approximately 5V (minus the diode drop) which is
used to power the high side FET drivers and driver logic.
When selecting a bootstrap diode, Schottky diodes are preferred due to their low forward voltage drop, but care must be
taken for circuits that operate at high ambient temperature.
The reverse leakage of some Schottky diodes can increase
by more than 1000x at high temperature, and this leakage
path can deplete the charge on the bootstrap capacitor, starving the driver and logic. Standard PN junction diodes and fast
rectifier diodes can also be used, and these types maintain
tighter control over reverse leakage current across temperature.
SWITCHING NOISE REDUCTION
Power MOSFETs are very fast switching devices. In synchronous rectifier converters, the rapid increase of drain current in the top FET coupled with parasitic inductance will
generate unwanted Ldi/dt noise spikes at the source node of
the FET (SWx node) and also at the VIN node. The magnitude
(3)
15

LM5642/LM5642X
of this noise will increase as the output current increases. This
parasitic spike noise may produce excessive electromagnetic
interference (EMI), and can also cause problems in device
performance. Therefore, it must be suppressed using one of
the following methods.
When using resistor based current sensing, it is strongly recommended to add R-C filters to the current sense amplifier
inputs as shown in Figure 7. This will reduce the susceptibility
to switching noise, especially during heavy load transients
and short on time conditions. The filter components should be
connected as close as possible to the IC.
As shown in Figure 6, adding a resistor in series with the
HDRVx pin will slow down the gate drive, thus slowing the rise
and fall time of the top FET, yielding a longer drain current
transition time.
Usually a 3.3Ω to 4.7Ω resistor is sufficient to suppress the
noise. Top FET switching losses will increase with higher resistance values.
Small resistors (1-5 ohms) can also be placed in series with
the CBOOTx pin to effectively reduce switch node ringing. A
CBOOT resistor will slow the rise time of the FET, whereas a
resistor at HDRV will increase both rise and fall times.
UNDER VOLTAGE PROTECTION (UVP) AND UV DELAY
If the output voltage on either channel falls below 80% of
nominal, under voltage protection activates. As shown in Figure 5, an under-voltage event will shut off the UV_DELAY
MOSFET, which will allow the UV_DELAY capacitor to
charge with 5µA (typical). If the UV_DELAY pin voltage reaches the 2.3V threshold both channels will latch off. UV_DELAY
will then be disabled and the UV_DELAY pin will return to 0V.
During UVP, both the high side and low side FET drivers will
be turned off. If no capacitor is connected to the UV_DELAY
pin, the UVP latch will be activated immediately. To reset the
UVP latch, either the input voltage must be cycled, or both
ON/SS pins must be pulled low. The UVP function can be
disabled by connecting the UV_DELAY pin to ground.
LM5642/LM5642X
where Imax is the maximum expected load current, including
overload multiplier (ie:120%), and Irip is the inductor ripple
current (See Equation 17). The above equation gives the
maximum allowable value for Rsns. Conduction losses will
increase with larger Rsns, thus lowering efficiency.
The peak current limit is set by an external resistor connected
between the ILIMx pin and the KSx pin. An internal 10µA current sink on the ILIMx pin produces a voltage across the
resistor to set the current limit threshold which is then compared to the current sense voltage. A 10nF capacitor across
this resistor is required to filter unwanted noise that could improperly trip the current limit comparator.
INPUT UNDER VOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO)
The input under-voltage lock out threshold, which is sensed
via the VLIN5 internal LDO output, is 4.0V (typical). Below this
threshold, both HDRVx and LDRVx will be turned off and the
internal 480Ω MOSFETs will be turned on to discharge the
output capacitors through the SWx pins. When the input voltage is below the UVLO threshold, the ON/SS pins will sink
5mA to discharge the soft start capacitors and turn off both
channels. As the input voltage increases again above 4.0V,
UVLO will be de-activated, and the device will restart through
a normal soft start phase. If the voltage at VLIN5 remains below 4.5V, but above the 4.0V UVLO threshold, the device
cannot be guaranteed to operate within specification.
If the input voltage is between 4.0V and 5.2V, the VLIN5 pin
will not regulate, but will follow approximately 200mV below
the input voltage.
DUAL-PHASE PARALLEL OPERATION
In applications with high output current demand, the two
switching channels can be configured to operate as a two
phase converter to provide a single output voltage with current sharing between the two switching channels. This approach greatly reduces the stress and heat on the output
stage components while lowering input ripple current. The inductor ripple currents also cancel to a varying degree which
results in lowered output ripple voltage. Figure 2 shows an
example of a typical two-phase circuit. Because precision
current sense is the primary design criteria to ensure accurate
current sharing between the two channels, both channels
must use external sense resistors for current sensing. To
minimize the error between the error amplifiers of the two
channels, tie the feedback pins FB1 and FB2 together and
connect to a single voltage divider for output voltage sensing.
Also, tie the COMP1 and COMP2 together and connect to the
compensation network. ON/SS1 and ON/SS2 must be tied
together to enable and disable both channels simultaneously.
20060110
FIGURE 7. Current Sense and Current Limit
Current limit is activated when the inductor current is high
enough to cause the voltage at the RSNSx pin to be lower
than that of the ILIMx pin. This toggles the Ilim comparator,
thus turning off the top FET immediately. The comparator is
disabled when the top FET is turned off and during the leading
edge blanking time. The equation for current limit resistor,
Rlim, is as follows:
EXTERNAL FREQUENCY SYNC
The LM5642 series has the ability to synchronize to external
sources in order to set the switching frequency. This allows
the LM5642 to use frequencies from 150 kHz to 250 kHz and
the LM5642X to use frequencies from 200 kHz to 500 kHz.
Lowering the switching frequency allows a smaller minimum
duty cycle, DMIN, and hence a greater range between input
and output voltage. Increasing switching frequency allows the
use of smaller output inductors and output capacitors (See
Component Selection). In general, synchronizing all the
switching frequencies in multi-converter systems makes filtering of the switching noise easier.
The sync input can be from a system clock, from another
switching converter in the system, or from any other periodic
signal with a logic low-level less than 1.4V and a logic high
level greater than 2V. Both CMOS and TTL level inputs are
acceptable.
The LM5642 series uses a fixed delay between Channel 1
and Channel 2. The nominal switching frequency of 200kHz
for the LM5642 corresponds to a switching period of 5µs.
Channel 2 always turns its high-side switch on 2.5µs after
Channel 1 Figure 8 (a). When the converter is synchronized
to a frequency other than 200kHz, the switching period is reduced or increased, while the fixed delay between Channel 1
and Channel 2 remains constant. The phase difference between channels is therefore no longer 180°. At the extremes
of the sync range, the phase difference drops to 135° Figure
8 (b) and Figure 8 (c). The result of this lower phase difference
is a reduction in the maximum duty cycle of one channel that
(4)
Where Ilim is the load current at which the current limit comparator will be tripped.
When sensing current across the top FET, replace Rsns with
the RDS-ON of the FET. This calculated Rlim value guarantees
that the minimum current limit will not be less than Imax. It is
recommended that a 1% tolerance resistor be used.
When sensing across the top FET (VDS sensing), RDS-ON will
show more variation than a current-sense resistor, largely due
to temperature variation. RDS-ON will increase proportional to
temperature according to a specific temperature coefficient.
Refer to the FET manufacturer's datasheet to determine the
range of RDS-ON values over operating temperature or see the
Component Selection section (Equation 27) for a calculation
of maximum RDS-ON. This will prevent RDS-ON variations from
prematurely tripping the current limit comparator as the operating temperature increases.
To ensure accurate current sensing using VDS sensing, special attention in board layout is required. The KSx and RSNSx
pins require separate traces to form a Kelvin connection at
the corresponding current sense nodes. In addition, the filter
components R14, R16, C14, C15 should be removed.

DMAX = FSYNC*2.5x10-6
Therefore, a maximum value is recommended for R2 in order
to keep the output within .3% of Vnom. This maximum R2
value should be calculated first with the following equation:
(7)
Where 200nA is the maximum current drawn by FBx pin.
(5)
At a sync frequency of 150kHz, for example, the maximum
duty cycle for Channel 1 that will not overlap Channel 2 would
be 37.5%. At 250kHz, it is the duty cycle for Channel 2 that is
reduced to a DMAX of 37.5%.

Example: Vnom=5V, Vfb=1.2364V, Ifbmax=200nA.

The Cycle Skip and Dropout modes of the LM5642 series
regulate the minimum and maximum output voltage/duty cycle that the converter can deliver. Both modes check the
voltage at the COMP pin. Minimum output voltage is determined by the Cycle Skip Comparator. This circuitry skips the
high side FET ON pulse when the COMP pin voltage is below
0.5V at the beginning of a cycle. The converter will continue
to skip every other pulse until the duty cycle (and COMP pin
voltage) rise above 0.5V, effectively halving the switching frequency.
Maximum output voltage is determined by the Dropout circuitry, which skips the low side FET ON pulse whenever the
COMP pin voltage exceeds the ramp voltage derived from the
current sense. Up to three low side pulses may be skipped in
a row before a minimum on-time pulse must be applied to the
low side FET.
Figure 10 shows the range of ouput voltage (for Io = 3A) with
respect to input voltage that will keep the converter from entering either Skip Cycle or Dropout mode.
For input voltages below 5.5V, VLIN5 must be connected to
Vin through a small resistor (approximately 4.7 ohm). This will
ensure that VLIN5 does not fall below the UVLO threshold.

will not overlap the duty cycle of the other. As shown in Input
Capacitor Selection section, when the duty cycle D1 for Channel 1 overlaps the duty cycle D2 for Channel 2, the input rms
current increases, requiring more input capacitors or input
capacitors with higher ripple current ratings. The new, reduced maximum duty cycle can be calculated by multiplying
the sync frequency (in Hz) by 2.5x10-6 (the fixed delay in seconds). The same logic applies to the LM5642X. However the
LM5642X has a nominal switching frequency of 375kHz
which corresponds to a period of 2.67µs. Therefore channel
2 of the LM5642X always begins it's period after 1.33µs.
LM5642/LM5642X
Maximum ESR criterion can be used when the associated
capacitance is high enough, otherwise more capacitors than
the number determined by this criterion should be used in
parallel.
MINIMUM CAPACITANCE CALCULATION
In a switch mode power supply, the minimum output capacitance is typically dictated by the load transient requirement.
If there is not enough capacitance, the output voltage excursion will exceed the maximum allowed value even if the
maximum ESR requirement is met. The worst-case load transient is an unloading transient that happens when the input
voltage is the highest and when the current switching cycle
has just finished. The corresponding minimum capacitance is
calculated as follows:
(13)
20060113
Notice it is already assumed the total ESR, Re, is no greater
than Re_max, otherwise the term under the square root will
be a negative value. Also, it is assumed that L has already
been selected, therefore the minimum L value should be calculated before Cmin and after Re (see Inductor Selection
below). Example: Re = 20mΩ, Vnom = 5V, ΔVc_s = 160mV,
ΔIc_s = 3A, L = 8µH
FIGURE 10. Output Voltage Range
Output Capacitor Selection
In applications that exhibit large, fast load current swings, the
slew rate of such a load current transient will likely be beyond
the response speed of the regulator. Therefore, to meet voltage transient requirements during worst-case load transients,
special consideration should be given to output capacitor selection. The total combined ESR of the output capacitors must
be lower than a certain value, while the total capacitance must
be greater than a certain value. Also, in applications where
the specification of output voltage regulation is tight and ripple
voltage must be low, starting from the required output voltage
ripple will often result in fewer design iterations.
(14)
Generally speaking, Cmin decreases with decreasing Re,
ΔIc_s, and L, but with increasing Vnom and ΔVc_s.
Inductor Selection
ALLOWED TRANSIENT VOLTAGE EXCURSION
The allowed output voltage excursion during a load transient
(ΔVc_s) is:
The size of the output inductor can be determined from the
desired output ripple voltage, Vrip, and the impedance of the
output capacitors at the switching frequency. The equation to
determine the minimum inductance value is as follows:
(10)
Where ±δ% is the output voltage regulation window and ±ε%
is the output voltage initial accuracy.
Example: Vnom = 5V, δ% = 7%, ε% = 3.4%, Vrip = 40mV peak
to peak.
(15)
In the above equation, Re is used in place of the impedance
of the output capacitors. This is because in most cases, the
impedance of the output capacitors at the switching frequency
is very close to Re. In the case of ceramic capacitors, replace
Re with the true impedance at the switching frequency.
Example: Vin = 36V, Vo = 3.3V, VRIP = 60mV, Re = 20mΩ,
F = 200kHz.
(11)
MAXIMUM ESR CALCULATION
Unless the rise and fall times of a load transient are slower
than the response speed of the control loop, if the total combined ESR (Re) is too high, the load transient requirement will
not be met, no matter how large the capacitance.
The maximum allowed total combined ESR is:
(16)
The actual selection process usually involves several iterations of all of the above steps, from ripple voltage selection,
to capacitor selection, to inductance calculations. Both the
highest and the lowest input and output voltages and load
transient requirements should be considered. If an inductance value larger than Lmin is selected, make sure that the
Cmin requirement is not violated.
Priority should be given to parameters that are not flexible or
more costly. For example, if there are very few types of capacitors to choose from, it may be a good idea to adjust the
inductance value so that a requirement of 3.2 capacitors can
be reduced to 3 capacitors.
(12)
Since the ripple voltage is included in the calculation of
ΔVc_s, the inductor ripple current should not be included in
the worst-case load current excursion. Simply use the worstcase load current excursion for ΔIc_s.
Example: ΔVc_s = 160mV, ΔIc_s = 3A. Then Re_max =
53.3mΩ.
www.national.com

(17)
(23)
Also important is the ripple content, which is defined by Irip /
Inom. Generally speaking, a ripple content of less than 50%
is ok. Larger ripple content will cause too much power loss in
the inductor.
Example: Vin = 36V, Vo = 3.3V, F = 200kHz, L = 5µH, 3A
max IOUT
Where, again, I1 and I2 are the maximum load currents of
channel 1 and 2, and D1 and D2 are the duty cycles. This
equation should be used when both duty cycles are expected
to be higher than 50%.
If the LM5642 is being used with an external clock frequency
other than 200kHz, or 375 kHz for the LM5642X, the preceding equations for input rms current can still be used. The
selection of the first equation or the second changes because
overlap can now occur at duty cycles that are less than 50%.
From the External Frequency Sync section, the maximum duty cycle that ensures no overlap between duty cycles (and
hence input current pulses) is:
(18)
3A is 100% ripple which is too high.
In this case, the inductor should be reselected on the basis of
ripple current.
Example: 40% ripple, 40% • 3A = 1.2A
DMAX = FSYNC* 2.5 x 10-6
(24)
There are now three distinct possibilities which must be considered when selecting the equation for input rms current. The
following applies for the LM5642, and also the LM5642X by
replacing 200 kHz with 375 kHz:
1. Both duty cycles D1 and D2 are less than DMAX. In this
case, the first, simple equation can always be used.
2. One duty cycle is greater than DMAX and the other duty
cycle is less than DMAX. In this case, the system designer
can take advantage of the fact that the sync feature
reduces DMAX for one channel, but lengthens it for the
other channel. For FSYNC < 200kHz, D1 is reduced to
DMAX while D2 actually increases to (1-DMAX). For FSYNC
> 200kHz, D2 is reduced to DMAX while D1 increases to
(1-DMAX). By using the channel reduced to DMAX for the
lower duty cycle, and the channel that has been
increased for the higher duty cycle, the first, simple rms
input current equation can be used.
3. Both duty cycles are greater than DMAX. This case is
identical to a system at 200kHz where either duty cycle
is 50% or greater. Some overlap of duty cycles is
guaranteed, and hence the second, more complicated
rms input current equation must be used.
Input capacitors must meet the minimum requirements of
voltage and ripple current capacity. The size of the capacitor
should then be selected based on hold up time requirements.
Bench testing for individual applications is still the best way
to determine a reliable input capacitor value. Input capacitors
should always be placed as close as possible to the current
sense resistor or the drain of the top FET. When high ESR
capacitors such as tantalum are used, a 1µF ceramic capacitor should be added as closely as possible to the high-side
FET drain and low-side FET source.
(19)
(20)
When choosing the inductor, the saturation current should be
higher than the maximum peak inductor current and the RMS
current rating should be higher than the maximum load current.
Input Capacitor Selection
The fact that the two switching channels of the LM5642 are
180° out of phase will reduce the RMS value of the ripple current seen by the input capacitors. This will help extend input
capacitor life span and result in a more efficient system. Input
capacitors must be selected that can handle both the maximum ripple RMS current at highest ambient temperature as
well as the maximum input voltage. In applications in which
output voltages are less than half of the input voltage, the
corresponding duty cycles will be less than 50%. This means
there will be no overlap between the two channels' input current pulses. The equation for calculating the maximum total
input ripple RMS current for duty cycles under 50% is:
(21)
where I1 is maximum load current of Channel 1, I2 is the
maximum load current of Channel 2, D1 is the duty cycle of
Channel 1, and D2 is the duty cycle of Channel 2.
Example: Imax_1 = 3.6A, Imax_2 = 3.6A, D1 = 0.42, and D2
= 0.275
MOSFET Selection
BOTTOM FET SELECTION
During normal operation, the bottom FET is switching on and
off at almost zero voltage. Therefore, only conduction losses
are present in the bottom FET. The most important parameter
when selecting the bottom FET is the on-resistance (RDSON). The lower the on-resistance, the lower the power loss.
The bottom FET power loss peaks at maximum input voltage
and load current. The equation for the maximum allowed onresistance at room temperature for a given FET package, is:
(22)
Choose input capacitors that can handle 1.66A ripple RMS
current at highest ambient temperature. In applications where
output voltages are greater than half the input voltage, the
corresponding duty cycles will be greater than 50%, and there
will be overlapping input current pulses. Input ripple current
19
www.national.com
LM5642/LM5642X
will be highest under these circumstances. The input RMS
current in this case is given by:
Since inductor ripple current is often the criterion for selecting
an output inductor, it is a good idea to double-check this value.
The equation is:
LM5642/LM5642X
Loop Compensation
The general purpose of loop compensation is to meet static
and dynamic performance requirements while maintaining
stability. Loop gain is what is usually checked to determine
small-signal performance. Loop gain is equal to the product
of control-output transfer function and the feedback transfer
function (the compensation network transfer function). Generally speaking it is desirable to have a loop gain slope that is
roughly -20dB /decade from a very low frequency to well beyond the crossover frequency. The crossover frequency
should not exceed one-fifth of the switching frequency. The
higher the bandwidth, the faster the load transient response
speed will be. However, if the duty cycle saturates during a
load transient, further increasing the small signal bandwidth
will not help. Since the control-output transfer function usually
has very limited low frequency gain, it is a good idea to place
a pole in the compensation at zero frequency, so that the low
frequency gain will be relatively large. A large DC gain means
high DC regulation accuracy (i.e. DC voltage changes little
with load or line variations). The rest of the compensation
scheme depends highly on the shape of the control-output
plot.
(25)
where Tj_max is the maximum allowed junction temperature
in the FET, Ta_max is the maximum ambient temperature,
Rθja is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the FET,
and TC is the temperature coefficient of the on-resistance
which is typically in the range of 4000ppm/°C.
If the calculated RDS-ON (MAX) is smaller than the lowest value
available, multiple FETs can be used in parallel. This effectively reduces the Imax term in the above equation, thus reducing RDS-ON. When using two FETs in parallel, multiply the
calculated RDS-ON (MAX) by 4 to obtain the RDS-ON (MAX) for each
FET. In the case of three FETs, multiply by 9.
(26)
If the selected FET has an Rds value higher than 35.3Ω, then
two FETs with an RDS-ON less than 141mΩ (4 x 35.3mΩ) can
be used in parallel. In this case, the temperature rise on each
FET will not go to Tj_max because each FET is now dissipating only half of the total power.
TOP FET SELECTION
The top FET has two types of losses: switching loss and conduction loss. The switching losses mainly consist of crossover
loss and losses related to the low-side FET body diode reverse recovery. Since it is rather difficult to estimate the
switching loss, a general starting point is to allot 60% of the
top FET thermal capacity to switching losses. The best way
to precisely determine switching losses is through bench testing. The equation for calculating the on resistance of the top
FET is thus:
20060114
FIGURE 11. Control-Output Transfer Function
As shown in Figure 11, the control-output transfer function
consists of one pole (fp), one zero (fz), and a double pole at
fn (half the switching frequency). The following can be done
to create a -20dB /decade roll-off of the loop gain: Place the
first pole at 0Hz, the first zero at fp, the second pole at fz, and
the second zero at fn. The resulting feedback transfer function
is shown in Figure 12.
(27)
Example: Tj_max = 100°C, Ta_max = 60°C, Rqja = 60°C/W,
Vin_min = 5.5V, Vnom = 5V, and Iload_max = 3.6A.

Since fp is determined by the output network, it will shift with
loading (Ro). It is best to use a minimum Iout value of approximately 100mA when determining the maximum Ro value.

PCB Layout Considerations
First determine the minimum frequency (fpmin) of the pole
across the expected load range, then place the first compensation zero at or below that value. Once fpmin is determined,
Rc1 should be calculated using:
To produce an optimal power solution with the LM5642 series,
good layout and design of the PCB are as important as the
component selection. The following are several guidelines to
aid in creating a good layout.
KELVIN TRACES FOR SENSE LINES
When using the current sense resistor to sense the load current connect the KS pin using a separate trace to VIN, as
close as possible to the current-sense resistor. The RSNS pin
should be connected using a separate trace to the low-side
of the current sense resistor. The traces should be run parallel
to each other to give common mode rejection. Although it can
be difficult in a compact design, these traces should stay away
from the output inductor and switch node if possible, to avoid
coupling stray flux fields. When a current-sense resistor is not
used the KS pin should be connected as close as possible to
the drain node of the upper MOSFET and the RSNS pin
should be connected as close as possible to the source of the
upper MOSFET using Kelvin traces. To further help minimize
noise pickup on the sense lines is to use RC filtering on the
KS and RSNS pins.
(33)
Where B is the desired gain in V/V at fp (fz1), gm is the
transconductance of the error amplifier, and R1 and R2 are
the feedback resistors. A gain value around 10dB (3.3v/v) is
generally a good starting point.
Example: B=3.3v/v, gm=650m, R1=20KΩ, R2=60.4KΩ:
(34)
Bandwidth will vary proportional to the value of Rc1. Next, Cc1
can be determined with the following equation:
(35)
Example: fpmin=695Hz, Rc1=20KΩ:
SEPARATE PGND AND SGND
Good layout techniques include a dedicated ground plane,
usually on an internal layer. Signal level components like the
compensation and feedback resistors should be connected to
a section of this internal SGND plane. The SGND section of
the plane should be connected to the power ground at only
one point. The best place to connect the SGND and PGND is
right at the PGND pin..
(36)
The compensation network (Figure 13) will also introduce a
low frequency pole which will be close to 0Hz.
A second pole should also be placed at fz. This pole can be
created with a single capacitor Cc2 and a shorted Rc2 (see
Figure 13). The minimum value for this capacitor can be calculated by:
MINIMIZE THE SWITCH NODE
The plane that connects the power FETs and output inductor
together radiates more EMI as it gets larger. Use just enough
copper to give low impedance to the switching currents,
preferably in the form of a wide, but short, trace run.
(37)
Cc2 may not be necessary, however it does create a more
stable control loop. This is especially important with high load
currents and in current sharing mode.
Example: fz=80kHz, Rc1= 20KΩ:
LOW IMPEDANCE POWER PATH
The power path includes the input capacitors, power FETs,
output inductor, and output capacitors. Keep these components on the same side of the PCB and connect them with
thick traces or copper planes (shapes) on the same layer.
Vias add resistance and inductance to the power path, and

LM5642/LM5642X
A second zero can also be added with a resistor in series with
Cc2. If used, this zero should be placed at fn, where the control to output gain rolls off at -40dB/dec. Generally, fn will be
well below the 0dB level and thus will have little effect on stability. Rc2 can be calculated with the following equation:
The control-output corner frequencies, and thus the desired
compensation corner frequencies, can be determined approximately by the following equations:
LM5642/LM5642X
have relatively high impedance connections to the internal
planes. If high switching currents must be routed through vias
and/or internal planes, use multiple vias in parallel to reduce
their resistance and inductance. The power components
www.national.com
should be kept close together. The longer the paths that connect them, the more they act as antennas, radiating unwanted
EMI.
