ncp5331 http://onsemi.com 14 applications information overview the ncp5331 dc/dc controller utilizes an enhanced v 2 topology to meet requirements of low voltage, high current loads with fast transient requirements. transient response has been improved and voltage jitter virtually eliminated by including an internal pwm ramp, connecting fast?feedback from v core directly to the internal pwm comparator, and precise routing and grounding inside the controller. advanced features such as adjustable power?good delay, programmable overcurrent shutdown time, superior overvoltage protection (ovp), and differential remote voltage sensing make it easy to obtain amd certification. an innovative overvoltage protection (ovp) scheme safeguards the cpu during extreme situations including power up with a shorted upper mosfet, shorting of an upper mosfet during normal operation, and loss of the voltage feedback signal, corefb+. the ncp5331 provides a afully integrated solutiono to simplify design, minimize circuit board area, and reduce overall system cost. two advantages of a multiphase converter over a single?phase converter are current sharing and increased apparent output frequency. current sharing allows the designer to use less inductance in each phase than would be required in a single?phase converter. the smaller inductor produces lar ger ripple currents but the total per phase power dissipation is reduced because the rms current is lower. transient response is improved because the control loop will measure and adjust the current faster in a smaller output inductor. increased apparent output frequency is desirable because the of f?time and the ripple voltage of the two?phase converter will be less than that of a single?phase converter. fixed frequency multiphase control in a multiphase converter, multiple converters are connected in parallel and are switched on at different times. this reduces output current from the individual converters and increases the apparent ripple frequency. because several converters are connected in parallel, output current can ramp up or down faster than a single converter (with the same value output inductor) and heat is spread among multiple components. the ncp5331 controller uses a two?phase, fixed frequency, enhanced v 2 architecture to measure and control currents in individual phases. each phase is delayed 180 from the previous phase. normally, ghx (x = 1 or 2) transitions to a high voltage at the beginning of each oscillator cycle. inductor current ramps up until the combination of the current sense signal, the internal ramp and the output voltage ripple trip the pwm comparator and bring ghx low. once ghx goes low, it will remain low until the beginning of the next oscillator cycle. while ghx is high, the enhanced v 2 loop will respond to line and load variations (i.e. the upper gate on?time will be increased or reduced as required). on the other hand, once ghx is low, the loop can not respond until the beginning of the next pwm cycle. therefore, constant frequency enhanced v 2 will typically respond to disturbances within the off?time of the converter. the enhanced v 2 architecture measures and adjusts the output current in each phase. an additional input, csx (x = 1 or 2), for inductor current information has been added to the v 2 loop for each phase as shown in figure 14. the triangular inductor current is measured differentially across rs, amplified by csa and summed with the channel startup offset, the internal ramp, and the output voltage at the noninverting input of the pwm comparator. the purpose of the internal ramp is to compensate for propagation delays in the ncp5331. this provides greater design flexibility by allowing smaller external ramps, lower minimum pulse widths, higher frequency operation, and pwm duty cycles above 50% without external slope compensation. as the sum of the inductor current and the internal ramp increase, the voltage on the positive pin of the pwm comparator rises and terminates the pwm cycle. if the inductor starts a cycle figure 14. enhanced v 2 control employing resistive current sensing and additional internal ramp + ? swnode lx rlx rsx csx csa con cs ref + v out (v core ) afast?feedbacko connection + ? pwm comp to f/f reset channel start?up offset ? + error amp dac out v fb comp internal ramp x = 1 or 2 ? + v ffb

ncp5331 http://onsemi.com 17 figure 17. inductive sensing waveform during a load step with fast rc time constant (50  s/div) figure 18. hiccup mode operation figure 19. overcurrent timer operation the waveforms in figure 17 show a simulation of the current sense signal and the actual inductor current during a positive step in load current with values of l = 500 nh, r l = 1.6 m  , rsx = 20 k and csx = 0.01  f. for ideal current signal compensation the value of rsx should be 31 k  . due to the faster than ideal rc time constant there is an overshoot of 50% and the overshoot decays with a 200  s time constant. with this compensation the i lim pin threshold must be set more than 50% above the full load current to avoid triggering hiccup mode during a large output load step. current limit, hiccup mode and overcurrent timer the individual phase currents are summed and low?pass filtered to create an average current signal. the average current is then compared to a user adjustable voltage at the i lim pin. if the i lim voltage is exceeded, the fault latch is set, switching stops, and the comp pin is discharged until it decreases to 0.27 v. at this point, the fault latch is reset, the comp voltage will begin to rise and a new startup cycle begins. during startup, the output voltage and load current will increase until either regulation is achieved or the i lim voltage is again exceeded. the converter will continue to operate in ahiccup modeo until the fault condition is corrected or the overcurrent timer expires. when an overcurrent fault occurs the converter will enter a low duty cycle hiccup mode. during hiccup mode the converter will not switch from the time a fault is detected until the soft start capacitor (c c2 ) has discharged below the comp discharge threshold and then charged back up above the channel start up offset. figure 18 shows the ncp5331 operating in hiccup mode with the converter output shorted to gnd. hiccup mode will continue until the overcurrent timer terminates operation. the overcurrent timer sets a limit to how long the converter will operate in hiccup mode. placing a capacitor from the c ovc pin to gnd sets the length of time ? a larger capacitor sets a longer time. the first hiccup pulse starts the timer by turning on a current source that charges the capacitor at the c ovc pin. if the voltage at the c ovc pin rises to 3 v before the output voltage exceeds the pgd threshold, then the overcurrent latch is set, comp is discharged, and pgd is latched low. once set, the overcurrent latch will hold the converter in this state until the input voltage, either v ccl or v cch , is cycled. conversely, if the timer starts and either the output short circuit is removed or the load is decreased before the overcurrent timer expires, pgd will transition high after its programmed delay time and the timer will be reset. the nominal overcurrent time can be calculated using the following equation. t ovc  c ovc  (ovc thresh  ovc min )  i ovc  c ovc  (3.0 v  0.25 v)  5.0  a  c ovc  5.5  10 5 figure 19 shows the overcurrent timer terminating hiccup mode when c ovc charges up to 3.0 v.
ncp5331 http://onsemi.com 18 figure 20. overvoltage occurs with uvlo enabled note: using the lower mosfets to prevent overvoltage is not adequate if the mosfets are turned off at the uvlo threshold ? v core reaches 4.0 v within 100  s. figure 21. overvoltage occurs with uvlo disabled note: even if the lower mosfets remain on after uvlo, there is not enough gate drive voltage to prevent v core from reaching 4.0 v. overvoltage protection the ncp5331 provides a comprehensive level of overvoltage protection. overvoltage protection (ovp) addresses the following five cases (in decreasing level of difficulty): 1. normal operation, upper mosfet shorts 2. upper mosfet shorted, turn on the atx power 3. normal operation, open the voltage feedback signal 4. normal operation, ground the voltage feedback signal 5. open the voltage feedback signal, apply atx power by far the most difficult overvoltage scenario is when the upper mosfet shorts during normal operation. the energy stored in the output filters of both the atx supply and the dc/dc converter must be dissipated very quickly or an overvoltage condition will occur. when the upper mosfet shorts, v core rises and the error amplifier, due to the closed loop control, will within approximately 400 ns, command the upper mosfets (those that aren't shorted) to turn off and all the lower mosfets to turn on. this will cause two things to occur: v core will stop increasing, and a very high current will be drawn from the atx supply. the current limit in the atx supply should become active and the input voltage to the converter will be removed. now, when the input voltage drops below the ncp5331's uvlo threshold the lower mosfets will be turned off. at this point, a fair amount of the energy in the system will have been dissipated, however, the converter's output voltage will begin to rise again as shown in figure 20. even if the lower mosfets are not turned off at the uvlo threshold, as v in decays, adequate gate drive voltage will not exist to fully enhance the devices and the cpu may be damaged. this case is shown in figure 21. the ncp5331 avoids the problems with uvlo and the gate drive voltage. when v core exceeds 2.05 v, the ncp5331 will activate an external crowbar mosfet via the cb out pin. this additional mosfet will clamp v core and dissipate the remainder of the energy in the system. the cb out circuitry is powered by 5 v sb and is not disabled during uvlo. also, the cb out pin will always have adequate gate drive to enhance the lower mosfet. the ovp circuits in the ncp5331 are not effected when the atx supply current limits and v in is removed. figure 22 and figure 23 document successful operation of the cb out circuitry when an upper mosfet is shorted during normal operation with 0 a and 45 a loading. the second most difficult overvoltage scenario is when an upper mosfet is shorted and the atx power is applied. in this case, v core is equal to v in due to the shorted upper mosfet. when v in reaches the maximum rating for the cpu (2.2 v) adequate gate drive voltage is not available to enhance the lower mosfets or crowbar device enough to protect the cpu. a typical alogic levelo mosfet will conduct only 100?300  a for a gate drive of 2.0?2.5 v (r ds(on) = 6 k  to 25 k  ). the r ds(on) of the crowbar device must be lower than 15 m  during startup to prevent damage to the cpu. the ncp5331 avoids this problem by taking advantage of the 5 v sb voltage from the atx supply. if v in is less than 5 v sb , then 5 v will be used to enhance the crowbar device. most modern mosfets will be less than 10 m  for a v gs greater than 4.5 v. figure 24 shows the ncp5331 preventing v core from exceeding 2.0 v with a shorted upper mosfet during startup. if the voltage feedback signal (corefb+) is broken, a high value internal pull?up resistor will cause v ffb (and v fb ) to float higher in voltage. as v ffb (and v fb ) are pulled higher, the error amplifier will athinko v core is too high and command a lower and lower duty cycle until v core is driven to 0 v. w ithout the internal pull?up resistor the error amplifier would command 100% duty cycle and v core would be driven very high, damaging the cpu.
ncp5331 http://onsemi.com 19 figure 22. ncp5331 prevents overvoltage at 0 a note: the ncp5331 maintains v core < 2.2 v when an upper mosfet shorts during no?load operation. figure 23. ncp5331 prevents overvoltage at 45 a note: the ncp5331 maintains v core < 2.2 v when an upper mosfet shorts with 45 a loading. if the voltage feedback signal (corefb+) is accidentally grounded (but v core is not), the error amplifier will respond by increasing the duty cycle. of course, this will cause v core to rise. when v core reaches 2.0 v, the internal crowbar circuit will be activated and the overcurrent/overvoltage latch will be set. this latch will discharge comp, turn off the upper mosfets, and turn on the lower mosfets. the overcurrent/overvoltage latch will hold the controller in this state until the input power is cycled. transient response and adaptive positioning for applications with fast transient currents the output filter is frequently sized larger than ripple currents require in order to reduce voltage excursions during load transients. adaptive voltage positioning can reduce peak?to?peak output voltage deviations during load transients and allow for a smaller output filter. the output voltage can be set higher than nominal at light loads to reduce output voltage sag when the load current is applied. similarly, the output voltage can be set lower than nominal during heavy loads to reduce overshoot when the load current is removed. for low current applications a droop resistor can provide fast accurate adaptive positioning. however, at high currents the loss in a droop resistor becomes excessive. for example; in a 50 a converter a 1 m  resistor to provide a 50 mv change in output voltage between no load and full load would dissipate 2.5 w. lossless adaptive positioning is an alternative to using a droop resistor, but must respond to changes in load current. figure 25 shows how adaptive positioning works. the waveform labeled anormalo shows a converter without adaptive positioning. on the left, the output voltage sags when the output current is stepped up and later overshoots when current is stepped back down. with fast (ideal) adaptive positioning the peak to peak excursions are cut in half. in the slow adaptive positioning waveform the output voltage is not repositioned quickly enough after current is stepped up and the upper limit is exceeded. figure 24. ncp5331 prevents overvoltage at startup note: the ncp5331 maintains v core < 2.2 v when an upper mosfet is shorted and atx power is applied. adaptive positioning adaptive positioning normal fast slow limits figure 25. adaptive positioning the controller can be configured to adjust the output voltage based on the output current of the converter. (refer to the application schematic in figure 1). to set the no?load positioning, a resistor is placed between the output voltage and v fb pin. the v fb bias current will develop a voltage across the resistor to adjust the no?load output voltage. the v fb bias current is dependent on the value of r osc as shown in the data sheets.
ncp5331 http://onsemi.com 20 during no load conditions the v drp pin is at the same voltage as the v fb pin, so none of the v fb bias current flows through the v drp resistor. when output current increases the v drp pin increases proportionally and the v drp pin current offsets the v fb bias current and causes the output voltage to decrease. the response during the first few microseconds of a load transient are controlled primarily by power stage output impedance and the esr and esl of the output filter. the transition between fast and slow positioning is controlled by the total ramp size and the error amp compensation. if the current signal (external ramp) size is too large or the error amp too slow there will be a long transition to the final voltage after a transient. this will be most apparent with lower capacitance output filters. error amp compensation, tuning, and soft start the transconductance error amplifier requires a capacitance (c c1 + c c2 in the applications diagram) between the comp pin and gnd for two reasons. first, this capacitance stabilizes the transconductance error amplifier. values less than a few nf may cause oscillations of the comp voltage and increase the output voltage jitter. second, this capacitance sets the soft start and hiccup mode slopes. the internal error amplifier will source approximately 30  a during soft start and hiccup mode. no switching will occur until the comp voltage exceeds the channel startup offset (nominally 0.6 v). if c c2 is set to 0.1  f the 30  a from the error amplifier will allow the output to ramp up or down at approximately 30  a/0.1  f or 0.3 v/ms or 1.2 v in 4 ms. the comp voltage will ramp up to the following value. v comp  v core @0a  channel_startup_offset  int_ramp  g csa  ext_ramp  2 the comp pin will disable the converter when pulled below the comp discharge threshold (nominally 0.27 v). the rc network between the comp pin and the soft start capacitor (r c1 , c c1 ) allows the comp voltage to slew quickly during transient loading of the converter. without this network the error amplifier would have to drive the large soft start capacitor (c c2 ) directly, which would drastically limit the slew rate of the comp voltage. the r c1 /c c1 network allows the comp voltage to undergo a step change of approximately r c1 ? i comp . the capacitor (c a1 ) between the comp pin and the error amplifier's inverting input (the v fb pin) and the parallel combination of the resistors r f1 and r drp determine the bandwidth of the error amplifier. the gain of the error amplifier crosses 0 db at a high enough frequency to give a quick transient response, but well below the switching frequency to minimize ripple and noise on the comp pin. a capacitor in parallel with the r f1 resistor (c f1 ) adds a zero to boost phase near the crossover frequency to improve loop stability. figure 26. power good delay operation note: the pgd timer insures that pgd will transition high when v core is in regulation. setting up and tuning the error amplifier is a three step process. first, the no?load and full?load adaptive voltage positioning (a vp) are set using r f1 and r drp , respectively. second, the current sense time constant and error amplifier gain are adjusted with rsx and c a1 while monitoring v core during transient loading. lastly, the peak?to?peak voltage ripple on the comp pin is examined when the converter is fully loaded to insure low output voltage jitter. the exact details of this process are covered in the design procedure section. undervoltage lockout (uvlo) the controller has undervoltage lockout comparators monitoring two pins. one, intended for the logic and low?side drivers, is connected to the v ccl pin with an 8.5 v turn?on and 6.15 v turn?off threshold. a second, for the high side drivers, is connected to the v cch pin with an 8.5 v turn?on and 6.75 v turn?off threshold. a uvlo fault sets the fault latch which forces switching to stop and the upper and lower gate drivers produce a logic low (i.e., all the mosfets are turned off). power good (pgd) is pulled low when uvlo occurs. the overcurrent/overvoltage latch is reset by the uvlo signal. power good (pgd) delay time when v core is less than the power good threshold, 87.5% ? dac, or greater than 2.0 v the open?collector power good pin (pgd) will be pulled low by the ncp5331. when v core is in regulation pgd will become high impedance. an external pull?up resistor is required on pgd. during soft start, when v core reaches the power good threshold, 87.5% ? dac, then the alongero of two timers will dictate when pgd becomes high impedance. one timer is internally set to 200  s and can not be changed. placing a capacitor from the c pgd pin to gnd sets the second programmable timer. when v core crosses the pgd threshold, a current source will charge c pgd starting at

ncp5331 http://onsemi.com 23 layout guidelines with the fast rise, high output currents of microprocessor applications, parasitic inductance and resistance should be considered when laying out the power, filter and feedback signal sections of the board. typically, a multilayer board with at least one ground plane is recommended. if the layout is such that high currents can exist in the ground plane underneath the controller or control circuitry, the ground plane can be slotted to route the currents away from the controller. the slots should typically not be placed between the controller and the output voltage or in the return path of the gate drive. additional power and ground planes or islands can be added as required for a particular layout. gate drives experience high di/dt during switching and the inductance of gate drive traces should be minimized. gate drive traces should be kept as short and wide as practical and should have a return path directly below the gate trace. output filter components should be placed on wide planes connected directly to the load to minimize resistive drops during heavy loads and inductive drops and ringing during transients. if required, the planes for the output voltage and return can be interleaved to minimize inductance between the filter and load. the current sense signals are typically tens of millivolts. noise pick?up should be avoided wherever possible. current feedback traces should be routed away from noisy areas such as the switch node and gate drive signals. if the current signals are taken from a location other than directly at the inductor any additional resistance between the pick?off point and the inductor appears as part of the inherent inductor resistances and should be considered in design calculations. the capacitors for the current feedback networks should be placed as close to the current sense pins as practical. after placing the ncp5331 control ic, follow these guidelines to optimize the layout and routing: 1. place the 1  f ceramic power?supply bypass capacitors close to their associated pins: v ccl , v cch , v ccl1 and v ccl2 . 2. place the mosfets to minimize the length of the gate traces. orient the mosfets such that the drain connections are away from the controller and the gate connections are closest to the controller. 3. place the components associated with the internal error amplifier (r f1 , c f1 , c c1 , c c2 , r c1 , c a1 , r drp ) to minimize the trace lengths to the pins v fb , v drp and comp. 4. place the current sense components (r s1 , r s2 , c s1 , c s2 , r s , c sa , c sb ) near the cs1, cs2, and cs ref pins. 5. place the frequency setting resistor (r osc ) close to the r osc pin. the r osc pin is very sensitive to noise. route noisy traces, such as the swnodes and gate traces, away from the r osc pin and resistor. 6. place the mosfets and output inductors to reduce the size of the noisy swnodes. however, there is a trade?off between reducing the size of the swnodes for noise reduction and providing adequate heat?sinking for the synchronous mosfets. 7. place the input inductor and input capacitor(s) near the drain of the control (upper) mosfets. there is a trade?off between reducing the size of this node to save board area and providing adequate heat?sinking for the control (upper) mosfets. 8. place the output capacitors (electrolytic and ceramic) close to the processor socket or output connector. 9. the trace from the swnodes to the current sense components (r s1 , r s2 ) will be very noisy. route this away from more sensitive, low?level traces. the ground layer can be used to help isolate this trace. 10. the gate traces are very noisy. route these away from more sensitive, low?level traces. try to keep each gate signal on one layer and insure that there is an uninterrupted return path directly below the gate trace. the ground layer can be used to help isolate these traces. 11. gate driver returns, gnd1 and gnd2, should not be connected to lgnd, but instead directly to the ground plane. 12. try not to adaisy chaino connections to ground from one via. ideally, each connection to ground will have its own via located as close to the component as possible. 13. use a slot in the ground plane to prevent high currents from flowing beneath the control ic. this slot should form an aislando for signal ground under the control ic. asignal groundo and apower groundo must be separated. examples of signal ground include the capacitors at comp, cs ref , and 5v ref , the resistors at r osc and i lim , and the lgnd pin to the controller. examples of power ground include the capacitors to v cch and v ccl1 and v ccl2 , the source of the synchronous mosfets, and the gnd1 and gnd2 pins of the controller.
ncp5331 http://onsemi.com 24 14. the cs ref sense point should be equidistant between the output inductors to equalize the pcb resistance added to the current sense paths. this will insure acceptable current sharing. also, route the cs ref connection away from noisy traces such as the swnodes and gate traces. if noise from the swnodes or gate signals capacitively couples to the csref trace the external ramps will be very noisy and voltage jitter will result. 15. ideally, the swnodes are exactly the same shape and the current sense points (connections to r s1 and r s2 ) are made at identical locations to equalize the pcb resistance added to the current sense paths. this will help to insure acceptable current sharing. 16. place the 1  f ceramic capacitors, c p1 and c p2 , close to the drains of the mosfets q1 and q2, respectively. 17. if snubbers are used, they must be placed very close to their associated mosfets and swnode. the connections to the snubber components should be as short as possible. design procedure 1. output capacitor selection the output capacitors filter the current from the output inductor and provide a low impedance for transient load current changes. typically, microprocessor applications will require both bulk (electrolytic, tantalum) and low impedance, high frequency (ceramic) types of capacitors. the bulk capacitors provide ahold upo during transient loading. the low impedance capacitors reduce steady?state ripple and bypass the bulk capacitance when the output current changes very quickly. the microprocessor manufacturers usually specify a minimum number of ceramic capacitors. the designer must determine the number of bulk capacitors. choose the number of bulk output capacitors to meet the peak transient requirements. the following formula can be used to provide a starting point for the minimum number of bulk capacitors (n out,min ). n out,min  esr per capacitor   i o,max  v o,max (1) in reality, both the esr and esl of the bulk capacitors determine the voltage change during a load transient according to  v o , max  (  i o , max   t)  esl   i o , max  esr (2) unfortunately, capacitor manufacturers do not specify the esl of their components and the inductance added by the pcb traces is highly dependent on the layout and routing. therefore, it is necessary to start a design with slightly more than the minimum number of bulk capacitors and perform transient testing or careful modeling/simulation to determine the final number of bulk capacitors. 2. output inductor selection the output inductor may be the most critical component in the converter because it will directly effect the choice of other components and dictate both the steady?state and transient performance of the converter. when selecting an inductor the designer must consider factors such as dc current, peak current, output voltage ripple, core material, magnetic saturation, temperature, physical size, and cost (usually the primary concern). in general, the output inductance value should be as low and physically small as possible to provide the best transient response and minimum cost. if a large inductance value is used, the converter will not respond quickly to rapid changes in the load current. on the other hand, too low an inductance value will result in very large ripple currents in the power components (mosfets, capacitors, etc) resulting in increased dissipation and lower converter efficiency. also, increased ripple currents will force the designer to use higher rated mosfets, oversize the thermal solution, and use more, higher rated input and output capacitors ? the converter cost will be adversely effected. one method of calculating an output inductor value is to size the inductor to produce a specified maximum ripple current in the inductor. lower ripple currents will result in less core and mosfet losses and higher converter efficiency. equation 3 may be used to calculate the minimum inductor value to produce a given maximum ripple current ( a ) per phase. the inductor value calculated by this equation is a minimum because values less than this will produce more ripple current than desired. conversely, higher inductor values will result in less than the maximum ripple current. lo min  (v in  v core )  v core (   i o,max  v in  f sw ) (3) a is the ripple current as a percentage of the maximum output current per phase ( a = 0.15 for 15%, a = 0.25 for 25%, etc). if the minimum inductor value is used, the inductor current will swing a % about its value at the center (half the dc output current for a two?phase converter). therefore, for a two?phase converter, the inductor must be designed or selected such that it will not saturate with a peak current of (1 + a ) ? i o,max /2. the maximum inductor value is limited by the transient response of the converter. if the converter is to have a fast transient response then the inductor should be made as small as possible. if the inductor is too large its current will change too slowly, the output voltage will droop excessively, more bulk capacitors will be required, and the converter cost will be increased. for a given inductor value, its interesting to determine the time required to increase or decrease the current.

(20) i rms,cntl  [d  (i lo,max 2  i lo,max  i lo,min  i lo,min 2 )  3] 1  2 i lo,max is the maximum output inductor current. i lo,max  i o,max  2   i lo  2 (21) i lo,min is the minimum output inductor current. i lo,min  i o,max  2   i lo  2 (22) i o,max is the maximum converter output current. d is the duty cycle of the converter. d  v core  v in (23)  i lo is the peak?to?peak ripple current in the output inductor of value l o .  i lo  (v in  v core )  d  (lo  f sw ) (24) r ds(on) is the on resistance of the mosfet at the applied gate drive voltage. q switch is the post gate threshold portion of the gate?to?source charge plus the gate?to?drain charge. this may be specified in the data sheet or approximated from the gate?charge curve as shown in the figure 32. i d v gate v drain q gd q gs2 q gs1 v gs_th figure 32. mosfet switching characteristics q switch  q gs2  q gd (25) i g is the output current from the gate driver ic. v in is the input voltage to the converter. f sw is the switching frequency of the converter. q rr is the reverse recovery charge of the lower mosfet. q oss is the sum of all the mosfet output charges. for the lower or synchronous mosfet, the power dissipation can be approximated from p d,synch  (i rms,synch 2  r ds(on) )  (vf diode  i o,max  2  t_nonoverlap  f sw ) (26) the first term represents the conduction or ir losses when the mosfet is on, and the second term represents the diode losses that occur during the gate nonoverlap time. all terms were defined in the previous discussion for the control mosfet with the exception of (27) i rms,synch  [(1  d)  (i lo,max 2  i lo,max  i lo,min  i lo,min 2 )  3] 1  2 vf diode is the forward voltage of the mosfet's intrinsic diode at the converter output current. t_nonoverlap is the nonoverlap time between the upper and lower gate drivers to prevent cross conduction. this time is usually specified in the data sheet for the control ic. when the mosfet power dissipations are known, the designer can calculate the required thermal impedance to maintain a specified junction temperature at the worst case ambient operating temperature.  t  (t j  t a )  p d (28) where  t is the total thermal impedance (  jc +  sa ),  jc is the junction?to?case thermal impedance of the mosfet,  sa is the sink?to?ambient thermal impedance of the heatsink assuming direct mounting of the mosfet (no thermal apado is used), t j is the specified maximum allowed junction temperature, t a is the worst case ambient operating temperature.

ncp5331 http://onsemi.com 30 note: the value of c a1 is too low and the loop gain/ bandwidth too high. comp moves too quickly, which is evident from the small spike in its voltage when the load is applied or removed. the output voltage transitions more slowly because of the comp spike. figure 38. comp tuning, bandwidth too low figure 39. comp tuning, bandwidth too high note: the value of c a1 is too high and the loop gain/ bandwidth too low. comp slews too slowly which results in overshoot in v core . figure 40. comp tuning, bandwidth optimal note: the value of c a1 is optimal. comp slews quickly without spiking or ringing. v core does not overshoot and monotonically settles to its final value. 8. error amplifier tuning after the steady?state (static) avp has been set and the current sense network has been optimized the error amplifier must be tuned. basically, the gain of the error amplifier should be adjusted to provide an acceptable transient response by increasing or decreasing the error amplifier's feedback capacitor (c a1 in the applications diagram). the bandwidth of the control loop will vary directly with the gain of the error amplifier. if c a1 is too large the loop gain/bandwidth will be low, the comp pin will slew too slowly, and the output voltage will overshoot as shown in figure 38. on the other hand, if c a1 is too small the loop gain/bandwidth will be high, the comp pin will slew very quickly and overshoot. integrator awind upo is the cause of the overshoot. in this case the output voltage will transition more slowly because comp spikes upward as shown in figure 39. too much loop gain/bandwidth increase the risk of instability. in general, one should use the lowest loop gain/bandwidth as possible to achieve acceptable transient response ? this will insure good stability. if c a1 is optimal the comp pin will slew quickly but not overshoot and the output voltage will monotonically settle as shown in figure 40. after the control loop is tuned to provide an acceptable transient response the steady?state voltage ripple on the comp pin should be examined. when the converter is operating at full, steady?state load, the peak?to?peak voltage ripple on the comp pin should be less than 20 mvpp as shown in figure 41. less than 10 mvpp is ideal. excessive ripple on the comp pin will contribute to output voltage jitter. 9. current limit setting when the output of the current sense amplifier (co1 or co2 in the block diagram) exceeds the voltage on the i lim pin the part will enter hiccup mode. for inductive sensing, the i lim pin voltage should be set based on the inductor's maximum resistance (r lmax ). the design must consider note: at full load the peak?to?peak voltage ripple on the comp pin should be less than 20 mv for a well?tuned/stable controller. higher comp voltage ripple will contribute to output voltage jitter. figure 41. comp ripple for a stable system
ncp5331 http://onsemi.com 31 the inductor's resistance increase due to current heating and ambient temperature rise. also, depending on the current sense points, the circuit board may add additional resistance. in general, the temperature coefficient of copper is +0.393% per c. if using a current sense resistor (r sense ), the i lim pin voltage should be set based on the maximum value of the sense resistor. to set the level of the i lim pin, v ilim  (i out,lim   i lo  2)  r  g ilim (34) where i out,lim is the current limit threshold of the converter,  i lo /2 is half the inductor ripple current, r is either (r lmax + r pcb ) or r sense , g ilim is the current sense to i lim gain. for the overcurrent protection to work properly, the current sense time constant (rc) should be slightly larger than the rl time constant. if the rc time constant is too fast, during step load changes the sensed current waveform will appear larger than the actual inductor current and will probably trip the current limit at a lower level than expected. 10. overcurrent timer the overcurrent timer sets the time the converter will allow hiccup mode operation. given the capacitance from the c ovc pin to gnd, the nominal overcurrent time (t ovc ) can be calculated from the following equation. t ovc  c ovc  (ovc thresh  ovc min )  i ovc (35)  c ovc  (3.0 v  0.25 v)  5.0  a  c ovc  5.5  10 5 where ovc thresh is the overcurrent timer's shutdown voltage, nominally 3 v, ovc min is the overcurrent timer's starting voltage, nominally 0.25 v, i ovc is the charge current supplied to the capacitor at the c ovc pin, nominally 5  a. 11. soft start time the soft start time (t ss ) can be calculated from t ss  (v comp  r c1  i comp )  c c2  i comp (36) where v comp  v core @0a  channel_startup_offset  int_ramp  g csa  ext_ramp  2 ext_ramp  d  (v in  v core )  (r csx  c csx  f sw ) int_ramp  125 mv  d  0.50 i comp is the comp source current from the data sheet, int_ramp is the internal ramp value at the corresponding duty cycle, ext_ramp is the peak?to?peak external steady?state ramp at 0 a, g csa is the current sense amplifier gain (nominally 2.0 v/v), startup offset is typically 0.60v. 12. power good delay time the power good timer sets the delay time between when v core exceeds the c pgd comparator's threshold voltage and when pgd will actually transition high. the pgd delay time can be calculated from t pgd  c pgd  (pgd thresh  pgd min )  i pgd (37)  c pgd  (3.0 v  0.25v)  i pgd where pgd thresh is the pgd comparator's threshold voltage, nominally 3 v, pgd min is the pgd timer's starting voltage, nominally 0.25 v, i pgd is the charge current supplied to the capacitor at the c pgd pin. this current is a function of the r osc resistor according to i pgd = 0.52 v/r osc . design example typical design requirements: v in = 12.0 vdc v core = 1.20 vdc (nominal) v out,ripple < 20 mv pp max vid range: 0.800 vdc ? 1.550 vdc i o,max = 52 a at full?load i out,lim = 72 adc di in /dt = 0.50 a/  s max f sw = 200 khz h = 80% min at full?load t a,max = 55 c t j,max = 120 c t ss = 6.0 ms (soft start time) t ovc = 120 ms (overcurrent time) t pgd = 6.0 ms (pgd delay time)  v core at no?load (static) = ?25 mv from vid setting = 1.225 vdc  v core at full?load (static) = 37 mv from vid setting = 1.163 vdc  v core transient loading from 3.0 a to 25 a = ?50 mv from vid setting = 1.150 vdc 1. output capacitor selection first, choose a low?cost, low?esr output capacitor such as the rubycon 16mbz1000m10x16: 16 v, 1000  f, 2.55 a rms , 19 m  , 10 16 mm. calculate the minimum number of output capacitors. n out,min  esr per capacitor   i o,max  v o,max  19 m   22 a  (1.225 v  1.150 v)  5.6 or 6 capacitors minimum (6000  f) (1)
