  ir3513z page 1 may 11, 2009 datasheet xphase3 tm pol control ic description the ir3513z control ic provides overall c ontrol of a scalable number of phases along with an internal gate driver, current sense/sharing, and pwm. this allows the ir3513z to implement a stand-alone single-phase regulator or interface with additional phase ics to develop a power soluti on with any number of phases. with this arrangement, the final solution requires only 1 ic per phase to deploy 1 to x phases. other approaches require a control ic plus 1 to x driver ics or scalable ?all-in-one? ics th at do not utilize all ic pins or circuitry leading to increased so lution cost and siz e. features ? 0.8v reference supports 0.8v to 5.1v output voltage with +/-0.5% system set point accuracy ? dynamic margin function provides 5 % reference offset ? 1 (stand-alone) to x phase operation with additional phase ic ? programmable 250 khz to 9 mhz daisy-chain digital phase timing provides a per phase switching frequency of 250 khz to 1.5 mhz with no external components ? differential remote sense amplifier with 100kohm input impedance ? ic bias linear regulator control with programmable output voltage and uvlo ? programmable converter current limit during soft- start, hiccup with delay during normal operation ? over voltage protection communicated to phase ics ? system over voltage signal protects against failures such as a shorted high side mosfet ? detection and protection of open remote sense lines ? open control loop protection ? 7v/2a gate drivers (4a gatel sink current) ? integrated boot-strap synchronous pfet ? small thermally enhanced 32l 5 x 5mm mlpq package application circuit figure 1 - ir3513z application circuit

ir3513z page 15 may 11, 2009 figure 6 - inductor current sens ing and current sense amplifier the advantage of sensing the inductor curre nt versus high side or low side sensing is that actual output current being delivered to the load is obtained rather than peak or sampled information about the switch currents. the output voltage can be positioned to meet a load line based on real time inform ation. except for a sense resistor in series with the inductor, this is the only sense method that can support a single cycle transient response. other methods provide no information during either load increase (low side sensing) or load decrease (high side sensing). an additional problem associated with peak or valley current m ode control for voltage positioning is that they suffer from peak-to-average errors. these errors will show in many ways but one example is the effect of frequency variation. if the frequency of a particular unit is 10% low, the peak to peak inductor current will be 10% larger and the output impedance of the converter will drop by about 10%. variations in inducta nce, current sense amplifier bandwidth, pwm prop delay, any added slope compensation, input voltage, and output voltage are all additional sources of peak-to-average errors. current sense amplifier a high speed differential current sense amplifier is included in both the ir3513z and optional phase ics, as shown in figure 6. its gain is nominally 33 at 25oc, and the 3850 ppm/oc increase in induc tor dcr should be compensated in the voltage loop feedback path. the current sense amplifier c an accept positive differential input up to 50mv and negative up to -10mv before clipping. the output of the current sense amplifier is summed with the vref voltage and sent to other phases through an on- chip 3k ? resistor connected to the ishare pin. the ishare pins of all the phas es are tied together and the voltage on the share bus represents the average current through all t he inductors and is used by the control ic for voltage positioning and current limit protection. the input offset of this amplifier is calibr ated to +/- 1mv in order to reduce the current sense error. the input offset voltage is the primary source of error for t he current share loop. in order to achieve very small input offset error and superior current sharin g performance, the current sense amplifier continuously calibrates itself. this calibration algorithm creates ripple on is hare bus with a frequency of fsw/896. average current share loop current sharing between phases of the c onverter is achieved by the average cu rrent share loop in each phase ic. the output of the current sense amplifier is compared with average current at the shar e bus. if current in a phase is smaller than the average current, the share adjust amplifier of the phase will pull down t he starting point of the pwm ramp thereby increasing its duty cycle and output current; if current in a phase is larger than the average current, the share adjust amplifier of the phase will pull up the starting point of the pwm ramp thereby decreasing its duty cycle and output current. the current share amplifier is internally compensated so that the crossover frequency of the current share loop is much slower than that of the voltage loop and the two loops do not interact. c l r l r cs c cs v o current sense amp csout i l v l v cs c

ir3513z page 17 may 11, 2009 vref control the margin input comparators monitor the margin pin an d control the internal reference voltage whose output is sent to the vref buffer amplifier. the output of the buffer am plifier is the vref pin. the vref voltage, input offsets of error amplifier and remote sense differential amp lifier are post-package trimmed to provide 0.8% system set-point accuracy. the actual vref voltage does not determine t he system accuracy, which has a wider tolerance. the ir3513z can accept changes in the margin input while operating and vary the vref voltage accordingly. the slew rate of the voltage at the vref pin can be adjusted by an external capacitor between vref pin and lgnd pin. a resistor connected in series with this capacitor is required to compensate the vref buffer amplifier. margin transitions result in a smooth analog transition of the vref voltage and converter output voltage minimizing inrush currents in the input and output capacitors and ov ershoot of the output voltage. remote voltage sensing vosen+ and vosen- are used for remote sensing and are connected directly to the load. the remote sense differential amplifier with high speed, low input offset and low input bias current ensures accurate voltage sensing and fast transient response. start-up sequence the ir3513z has a programmable soft-start function to limit t he surge current during the converter start-up. a capacitor connected between the ss/del and lgnd pins controls soft start timing, over-current protection delay and hiccup mode timing. a charge current of 52.5ua (t ypical) and discharge current of 4.5ua (typical) control the up and down slope of the voltage at the ss/del pin respectively. figure 8 shows normal converter start-up. if there is no fault, the ss/del pin w ill start charging. the error amplifier output eaout is clamped low until ss/del reaches 1.4v. the error amplifier will then regulate the converter?s output voltage to match the ss/del voltage, less the 1.4v offset, unt il the converter output reache s the level determined by the vref (0.8 v typically) inputs. the ss/de l voltage continues to increase until it rises above 3.12v and allows the pg signal to be asserted. ss/del finally settles at 3.2v indicating the end of the soft start. vccl under voltage lock out, over current, as well as a low sig nal on the enable input immediately sets the fault latch, which causes the eaout pin to drive low turning off the phase ic drivers. the pg pin also drives low, and ss/del begins to discharge until the voltage reache s 0.2v. if the fault has cleared the f ault latch will be reset by the discharge comparator allowing a normal soft start to occur. other fault conditions, such as over voltage, open sense lin es, and open daisy chain, set different fault latches, which start discharging ss/del, pull down eaout voltage and drive pg low. however, the latches can only be reset by cycling vccl power. if ss/del pin is pulled below 0.7v, the converter can be disabled.
ir3513z page 18 may 11, 2009 figure 8 - start-up sequence constant over-current control during soft start the over-current limit threshold is set by a resistor connected between ocset and vref pins. if the iin pin voltage, which is proportional to the average current plus vref voltage, exceeds the ocset voltage during soft start, the constant over-current control is activated. figure 9 shows the constant over-current control with delay during soft start. the delay is required since over-current conditions can occur as part of normal operation due to inrush current. if an over-current occurs during soft start (before pg is as serted), the ss/del voltage is re gulated by the over current amplifier to limit the output current below the threshold set by ocset voltage. if the over-cu rrent condition persists after the delay time is reached, the fault latch will be set pulling t he error amplifier?s output low and inhibiting switching in the phase ics. the ss/del capacitor will discharge until it reache s 0.2v and the fault latch is reset allowing a normal soft start to occur. if an over-current condi tion is again encountered during the soft start cycle, the cons tant over-current control actions will repeat and the converter will be in hiccup mo de. the delay time is controlled by a counter, which is triggered by the oscillator. the counter values vary with sw itching frequency per phase in order to have a similar delay time for different switching frequencies. over-current hiccup protection after soft start the over current limit threshold is set by a resistor connected between ocset and vref pins. figure 9 shows the constant over-current control with delay after pg is asse rted. the delay is required since over-current conditions can occur as part of normal operation due to load transients or margin transitions. if the iin pin voltage, which is proportional to the averag e current plus vref voltage, exceeds the ocset voltage after pg is asserted, it will initiate the disc harge of the capacitor at ss/del. if the over-current condition persists long enough for the ss/del capacitor to discharge below the 120mv offset of the delay compar ator, the fault latch will be set pulling the error amplifier?s output low and inhibiting switching in the phase ics and de-asserting the pg signal. the output current is not controlled during the delay time. the ss/del capacitor will discharge until it reaches 200 mv and the fault latch is reset allowing a normal soft start to occur. if an ove r-current condition is again en countered during the soft start cycle, the over-current action will repeat and the converter will be in hiccup mode. 3.12v start delay vcc enable 1.4v vout pg ss/del normal operation vref 3.2v 0.8v soft start time pg delay time eaout

ir3513z page 20 may 11, 2009 vccl under voltage lockout (uvlo) the ir3513z ic monitors both the vcc and vccl for under voltage condition. during power up, the fault latch will be reset if vccl is above 94% (typical) of the voltage set by resistor divider at vcclfb pin and the vcc exceeds 7.5v (typical). if vccl voltage drops below 86% (t ypical) of the set value or vcc drops bel ow 7v (typical), the fault latch will be set. power good (pg) the pg pin is an open-collector output and should be pulled up to a voltage source through a resistor. during soft start, the pg remains low until the output voltage is in regulation and ss/del is above 3.12v. the pg pin becomes low if the fault latch, over voltage latch, open sense line latch, or open dai sy chain latch is set. a high level at the pg pin indicates that the converter is in operation and has no fault, but doe s not ensure the output voltage is within the specification. output voltage regulation within the design limits can logica lly be assured however, assuming no component failure in the system. open voltage loop detection the output voltage range of error amplifier is detected all the time to ensure the voltage loop is in regulation. if any fault condition forces the error amplifier output above vccl-0.3v for 8 switching cycles, the fault latch is set. the fault latch can only be cleared by cycling power to vccl. load current indicator output the iin pin voltage represents the average cu rrent of the converter plus the vref voltage. the load current information can be retrieved by a differential amplifier whic h subtracts the vref voltage from the iin voltage. enable input pulling the enable pin below 0.8v sets the fault latch and a voltage above 0.85v enables the soft start of the converter. over voltage protection (ovp) output over-voltage can occur during norm al operation if a high side mosfet short or other failure occurs. the over- voltage protection comparator monitors the ovsns pin volt age. if the ovsns pin voltage exceeds vref by 85mv, as shown in figure 11, the rosc/ovp pin voltage is driven to v(vccl) - 1v sending an over voltage signal to the host system. the rosc/ovp pin can also be connected to a crowba r circuit, which pulls the converter input low in over voltage conditions. the over voltage condition also sets the over voltage fault latch, which pulls the error amplifier output low to turn off the converter output. at the same time iin pin (ishare of phase ics) is pulled up to vccl to communicate the over voltage condition to phase ics (if present), as shown in figu re 11. the ovp circuit overrides the normal pwm operation and will fully turn-on the low side mosfet within approximately 150ns. the low side mosfet will remain on until ishare pin voltage drops below v(vccl) - 800mv, which sig nals the end of over voltage co ndition. an over voltage fault condition is latched in the ir3513z and can only be cleared by cycling power to vccl. in the event of a high side mosfet s hort before power up, the ovp flag is activated with as little supply voltage as possible, as shown in figure 12. the ovsn pin is comp ared against a fixed voltage of 1.73v (typical) for ovp conditions at power-up. the rosc/ovp pin will be pulled hi gher than 1.6v with vccldrv voltage as low as 1.8v. an external mosfet or comparator should be used to disable th e silver box, activate a crowbar, or turn off the supply source. the 1.8v threshold is used to prevent false over-vol tage triggering caused by pre-charging of output capacitors.

ir3513z page 28 may 11, 2009 vccl programming resistor r vcclfb1 and r vcclfb2 since vccl voltage is proportional to the mosfet gate driver loss and inversely proportional to the mosfet conduction loss, the optimum voltage should be chosen to maximize the converter efficiency. vccl linear regulator consists of an external npn transistor, a ce ramic capacitor and a programmable resistor divider. pre- select r vcclfb1 , and calculate r vcclfb2 from (11). 19 . 1 19 . 1 * 1 2 ? = vccl r r vcclfb vcclfb (11) vccl capacitor c vccl the capacitor is selected based on the stability requirement of the linear regulator and the load current to be driven. the linear regulator supplies the bias and gate drive current of the phase ics. a 4.7uf normally ensures stable vccl performance for most applications. vccl regulator drive resistor r vccldrv the drive resistor is primarily dependent on the load curr ent requirement of the linear regulator and the minimum input voltage requirements. the following equation gives an es timate of the average load current of the switching phase ics. c vccl phs vccl gt gb avg drive i n i n q q i _ _ _ ) 1 ( ) ( + ? ? + ? + = (12) q gb and q gt are the gate charge of the top and bottom fet, i vccl_phs is the vccl current of the phase ic-s, i vccl_c is the vccl current of the controller and n is the number of phases. for a minimum input voltage and a maximum vccl, the maximum r vccldrv required to use the full pull-down curr ent of the vccl driver is given by min _ / (max) 7 . 0 (min) avg drive i vccldrv i vccl v r ? ? = (13) due to limited pull down capability of the vccldrv pin, make sure the following condition is satisfied. ma r vccl v vccldrv i 10 (min) 7 . 0 (max) < ? ?

ir3513z page 29 may 11, 2009 bootstrap capacitor c bst depending on the duty cycle and gate driv e current of the phase ic, a capacito r in the range of 0.1uf to 1uf is needed for the bootstrap circuit. decoupling capacitors for phase ic 0.1uf-1uf decoupling capacitors are requir ed at vcc and vccl pins of phase ics. over-voltage resistors r ov1 and r ov2 the over-voltage resistors are used to set the voltage at the ovsns pin. if the voltage of the ovsns pin exceeds vref by 85mv then the over-voltage protection will be ac tivated and the error amplifier voltage will be pulled down turning the converter off. the over-voltage fault is latched, which means that the power to the converter has to be recycled for the fault to clear. choose vovsns a certain value ? v below vref. vref is typically 0.8 v. the over- voltage threshold will then be ? v+85mv. select r ov1. r ov2 is calculated based on (16). vovsns v r vovsns r out ov ov ? = 1 2 * (16) vref slew rate programming capacitor c vref and resistor r vref the slew rate of margin down-slope can be programmed by the external capacitor c vref as defined in (17), where i sink is the sink current of the vref pin. the slew rate of margin up-slope is the same as that of down-slope. the resistor r vref is used to compensate the vref circuit and can be calculated as shown in (18). margin margin sink vref sr sr i c 6 10 * 132 ? = = (17) 2 15 10 2 . 3 5 . 0 vref vref c r ? ? + = (18) type iii compensation choose the crossover frequency fc between 1/10 and 1/5 of the switching frequency per phase, the desired phase margin c and rfb1 (see figure 17). determine the component values based on the equations below. wc is 2* *fc (the crossover angular frequency), le is the equivalent inductanc e of the converter, c is the output capacitance, rst is the total equivalent resistance in series with the inducto r, rc is the output capacitance esr and r is the load resistance. 1 1 rfb k ccp ? = (19) 1 1 wz ccp rcp ? = (20) 1 2 1 rfb wz cfb ? = (21) rcp wp ccp ? = 2 1 1 (22)

ir3513z page 32 may 11, 2009 layout guidelines the following layout guidelines are recommended to reduce the parasitic inductance and resistance of the pcb layout, therefore minimizing the noise coupled to the ic. ? dedicate at least one middle layer for a ground plane. ? separate analog bus (eain, dacin and ishare) from digital bus (clkin, phsin, and phsout) to reduce the noise coupling. ? connect pgnd to lgnd pins to the ground plane through vias ? place current sense re sistors and capacitors (r cs and c cs ) close to ic. use kelvin connection for the inductor current sense wires, but separate the two wires by gr ound polygon. the wire from the inductor terminal to csin- should not cross over the fast transition nodes, i.e. switching nodes, gate drive outputs and bootstrap nodes. ? place the ic, gate drive side as close as possible to the mosfets to reduce the parasitic resistance and inductance of the gate drive paths. ? place the input ceramic capacitors close to the drain of top mosfet and the source of bottom mosfet. ? ?
ir3513z page 33 may 11, 2009 pcb metal and component placement ? lead land width should be equal to nominal part lead width. the minimum lead to lead spacing should be 0.2mm to minimize shorting. ? lead land length should be equal to maximum part l ead length + 0.3 mm outboard extension + 0.05mm inboard extension. the outboard extension ensures a large and inspectable toe fillet, and the inboard extension will accommodate any part misalignment and ensure a fillet. ? center pad land length and width should be equal to maximum part pad length and width. however, the minimum metal to metal spacing should be 0.17mm for 2 oz. copper ( 0.1mm for 1 oz. copper and 0.23mm for 3 oz. copper) ? four 0.30mm diameter vias shall be placed in the center of the pad land and connected to ground to minimize the noise effect on the ic. ? no pcb traces should be routed nor vias placed under an y of the 4 corners of the ic package. doing so can cause the ic to rise up from the pcb result ing in poor solder joints to the ic leads.
ir3513z page 34 may 11, 2009 solder resist ? the solder resist should be pulled away from the metal lead lands by a minimum of 0.06mm. the solder resist mis-alignment is a maximum of 0.05mm and it is recommended that the lead lands are all non solder mask defined (nsmd). theref ore pulling the s/r 0.06mm will always ensure nsmd pads. ? the minimum solder resist width is 0.13mm. ? at the inside corner of the solder resist where the lead land groups meet, it is recommended to provide a fillet so a solder resist width of 0.17mm remains. ? the land pad should be solder mask defined (smd), with a minimum overlap of the solder resist onto the copper of 0.06mm to accommodate solder resist mis-alignm ent. in 0.5mm pitch cases it is allowable to have the solder resist opening for the land pad to be smaller than the part pad. ? ensure that the solder resist in-b etween the lead lands and the pad land is 0.15mm due to the high aspect ratio of the solder resist strip sepa rating the lead lands from the pad land. ? the four vias in the land pad should be tented or plugged from bottom board side with solder resist.
ir3513z page 35 may 11, 2009 stencil design ? the stencil apertures for the lead lands should be approximately 80% of the area of the lead lands. reducing the amount of solder deposited will minimize the occurrence of lead shorts. since for 0.5mm pitch devices the leads are only 0.25mm wide, the stenc il apertures should not be made narrower; openings in stencils < 0.25mm wide are difficult to maintain repeatable solder release. ? the stencil lead land apertures should therefore be shortened in length by 80% and centered on the lead land. ? the land pad aperture should be striped with 0.25mm wide openings and spaces to deposit approximately 50% area of solder on the center pad. if too much solder is deposited on the center pad the part will float and the lead lands will be open. ? the maximum length and width of the land pad stencil ap erture should be equal to the solder resist opening minus an annular 0.2mm pull back to decrease the incidence of shorting the center land to the lead lands when the part is pushed into the solder paste.
