FAN5094s can be paralleled while maintaining both frequency and phase synchronization and ensuring current sharing in a high-power system. the FAN5094 features remote voltage sensing, programmable active droop ? and advanced response for optimal converter transient response with minimum output capacitance. it has integrated high-current gate drivers with adaptive delay gate switching, eliminating the need for external drive devices. these make it possible to create power supplies running at a switching frequency as high as 4mhz, for ultra-high density. the FAN5094 uses a 5-bit d/a converter to program the output voltage from 1.100v to 1.850v in 25mv steps with an accuracy of 0.5%. the FAN5094 uses a high level of integration to deliver load currents in excess of 150a from a 12v source with minimal external circuitry. the FAN5094 also offers integrated functions including power good, output enable/soft start, under-voltage lockout, over- voltage protection, and current limiting with independent current sense on each phase. it is available in a 28-pin tssop package. block diagram +12v +12v +12v +12v FAN5094 vfb processor phase clk ishr + FAN5094 vfb phase clk ishr vfb + FAN5094 multi-phase interleaved buck converter

it presents the resulting signal to the same input of its summing ampli?r, adding its signal to the voltage ampli?r s with a certain gain. these two signals are thus summed together. this sum is then pre- sented to a comparator looking at the oscillator ramp, which provides the main pwm control signal to the digital control block. the oscillator ramps are 180 out of phase with each other, so that the two phases are on alternately. the digital control block takes the analog comparator input to provide the appropriate pulses to the hdrv and ldrv output pins for each phase. these outputs control the exter- nal power mosfets. remote voltage sense the FAN5094 has true remote voltage sense capability, elim- inating errors due to trace resistance. to utilize remote sense, the vfb and agnd pins should be connected as a kelvin trace pair to the point of regulation, such as the processor pins. the converter will maintain the voltage in regulation at that point. care is required in layout of these grounds; see the layout guidelines in this datasheet. high current output drivers the FAN5094 contains four high current output drivers that utilize mosfets in a push-pull con?uration. the drivers for the high-side mosfets use the boot pin for input power and the sw pin for return. the drivers for the low-side mosfets use the vcc pin for input power and the pgnd pin for return. typically, the boot pin will use a charge pump as shown in figures 1?. note that the boot and vcc pins are separated from the chip s internal power and ground, bypass and agnd, for switching noise immunity. adaptive delay gate drive the FAN5094 embodies an advanced design that ensures minimum mosfet transition times while eliminating shoot-through current. it senses the state of the mosfets and adjusts the gate drive adaptively to ensure that they are never on simultaneously. when the high-side mosfet turns off, the voltage on its source begins to fall. when the voltage there reaches approximately 2.5v, the low-side mosfets gate drive is applied with approximately 50nsec delay. when the low-side mosfet turns off, the voltage at the ldrv pin is sensed. when it drops below approximately 2v, the high- side mosfet s gate drive is applied. maximum duty cycle in order to ensure that the current-sensing and charge- pumping work, the FAN5094 guarantees that the low-side mosfet will be on a certain portion of each period. for low frequencies, this occurs as a maximum duty cycle of approxi- mately 90%. thus at 500khz, with a period of 2?ec, the low-side will be on at least 2?ec ?10% = 200nsec. at higher frequencies, this time might fall so low as to be ineffective. the FAN5094 guarantees a minimum low-side on-time of approximately 330nsec, regardless of what duty cycle this corresponds to. current sensing the FAN5094 has two independent current sensors, one for each phase. current sensing is accomplished by measuring the source-to-drain voltage of the low-side mosfet during its on-time. each phase has its own power ground pin, to per- mit the phases to be placed in different locations without affecting measurement accuracy. for best results, it is impor- tant to connect the pgnd and sw pins for each phase as a kelvin trace pair directly to the source and drain, respec- FAN5094 product specification 16 rev. 1.0.2 5/13/02 tively, of the appropriate low-side mosfet. care is required in the layout of these grounds; see the layout guidelines in this datasheet. current sharing the two independent current sensors of the FAN5094 operate with their independent current control loops to guarantee that the two phases each deliver half of the total output current. the only mismatch between the two phases occurs if there is a mismatch between the r ds,on of the low-side mosfets. in normal usage, two FAN5094s will be operated in parallel. by connecting the ishr pins together, the two error amps of the two ics will be forced to operate at exactly the same duty cycle, thus ensuring very close matching of the currents of all four phases. short circuit current characteristics the FAN5094 short circuit current characteristic includes a function that protects the dc-dc converter from damage in the event of a short circuit. the short circuit limit is given by the formula per phase. precision current sensing the tolerances associated with the use of mosfet current sensing can be circumvented by the use of a current sense resistor. light load ef ciency at light load, the FAN5094 uses a number of techniques to improve ef?iency. because a synchronous buck converter is two quadrant, able to both source and sink current, during light load the inductor current will ?w away from the out- put and towards the input during a portion of the switching cycle. this reverse current ?w is detected by the FAN5094 as a positive voltage appearing on the low-side mosfet during its on-time. when reverse current ?w is detected, the low-side mosfet is turned off for the rest of the cycle, and the current instead ?ws through the body diode of the high-side mosfet, returning the power to the source. this technique substantially enhances light load ef?iency. e*-mode in addition, further enhancement in ef?iency can be obtained by putting the FAN5094 into e*-mode. when the droop pin is pulled to the 5v bypass voltage, the a?phase of the FAN5094 is completely turned off, reducing in half the amount of gate charge power being consumed. e*-mode can be implemented with the circuit shown in figure 4: figure 4. implementing e*-mode control note that the charge pump for the hidrvs should be based on the ??phase of the FAN5094, since the a?phase is off in e*-mode. internal voltage reference the reference included in the FAN5094 is a precision band- gap voltage reference. its internal resistors are precisely trimmed to provide a near zero temperature coef?ient (tc). based on the reference is the output from an integrated 5-bit dac. the dac monitors the 5 voltage identi?ation pins, vid0-4, and scales the reference voltage from 1.100v to 1.850v in 25mv steps. bypass reference the internal logic of the FAN5094 runs on 5v. to permit the ic to run with 12v only, it produces 5v internally with a linear regulator, whose output is present on the bypass pin. this pin should be bypassed with a 1? capacitor for noise suppression. the bypass pin should not have any external load attached to it. dynamic voltage adjustment the FAN5094 has internal pullups on its vid lines. external pullups should not be used. the FAN5094 can have its output voltage dynamically adjusted to accommodate low power modes. the designer must ensure that the transitions on the vid lines all occur simultaneously (within less than 500 nsec) to avoid false codes generating undesired output voltages. the power good ?g tracks the vid codes, but has a 500?ec delay transitioning from high to low; this is long enough to ensure that there will not be any glitches during dynamic voltage adjustment. power good (pwrgd) the FAN5094 power good function is designed in accor- dance with the pentium iv dc-dc converter speci?ations and provides a continuous voltage monitor on the vfb pin. the circuit compares the vfb signal to the vref voltage and outputs an active-low interrupt signal to the cpu should the power supply voltage deviate more than +15%/-8% of its nominal setpoint. the output is guaranteed open-collector high when the power supply voltage is within +8%/-15% of its nominal setpoint. the power good ?g provides no control functions to the FAN5094. i sc 6v 10 r ? ds on , ------------------------------- - = bypass 10k ? 10k ? 10k ? 2n2222 2n2907 r droop FAN5094 pin25 hi = e*- mode on product specification FAN5094 rev. 1.0.2 5/13/02 17 output enable/soft start (enable/ss) the FAN5094 will accept an open collector/ttl signal for controlling the output voltage. the low state disables the output voltage. when disabled, the pwrgd output is in the low state. even if an enable is not required in the circuit, this pin should have attached a capacitor (typically 100nf) to soft- start the switching. a softstart capacitor may be approxi- mately chosen by the formula: however, c must be 100nf. oscillator the FAN5094 oscillator section runs at a frequency deter- mined by a resistor from the rt pin to ground according to the formula the oscillator generates two square waves, 180?out of phase with each other. one is used internally, the other is sent to a second FAN5094 on the clk pin. the square wave generates two internal sawtooth ramps, each at one-half the square wave frequency, and running 180 out of phase with each other. these ramps cause the turn-on time of the two phases to be phased apart and the four phases to be 90?apart each. the oscillator frequency of the FAN5094 can be programmed from 400khz to 4mhz with each phase running at 100khz to 1mhz, respectively. selection of a frequency will depend on various system performance criteria, with higher frequency resulting in smaller components but lower ef?iency. programmable active droop the FAN5094 features programmable active droop : as the output current increases, the output voltage drops propor- tionately an amount that can be programmed with an exter- nal resistor. this feature is offered in order to allow maximum headroom for transient response of the converter. the current is sensed losslessly by measuring the voltage across the low-side mosfet during its on time. consult the section on current sensing for details. note that this method makes the droop dependent on the temperature and initial tolerance of the mosfet, and the droop must be calculated taking account of these tolerances. given a maximum load current, the amount of droop can be programmed with a resistor to ground on the droop pin, according to the formula with v droop the desired droop voltage, rt the oscillator resistor, i max the load current at which the droop is desired, n the number of phases, and r ds, on the on-state resistance of one phase s low-side mosfet. typical response time of the FAN5094 to an output voltage change is 100nsec. important note! the oscillator frequency must be selected before selecting the droop resistor, because the value of rt is used in the calculation of r droop . over-voltage protection the FAN5094 constantly monitors the output voltage for protection against over-voltage conditions. if the voltage at the vfb pin exceeds 2.2v, an over-voltage condition is assumed and the FAN5094 latches on the external low-side mosfet and latches off the high-side mosfet. the dc-dc converter returns to normal operation only after v cc has been recycled. thermal design considerations because of the very large gate capacitances that the FAN5094 may be driving, the ic may dissipate substantial power. it is important to provide a path for the ic s heat to be removed, to avoid overheating. in practice, this means that each of the pins should be connected to as large a trace as possible. use of the heavier weights of copper on the pcb is also desirable. since the mosfets also generate a lot of heat, efforts should be made to thermally isolate them from the ic. over temperature protection if the FAN5094 die temperature exceeds approximately 150 c, the ic shuts itself off. it remains off until the temper- ature has dropped approximately 25 c, at which time it resumes normal operation. component selection mosfet selection this application requires n-channel enhancement mode field effect transistors. desired characteristics are as follows: low drain-source on-resistance, ? ds,on < 10m ? (lower is better); power package with low thermal resistance; drain-source voltage rating > 15v; low gate charge, especially for higher frequency operation. for the low-side mosfet, the on-resistance (r ds,on ) is the primary parameter for selection. because of the small duty cycle of the high-side, the on-resistance determines the power dissipation in the low-side mosfet and therefore signi?antly affects the ef?iency of the dc-dc converter. for high current applications, it may be necessary to use two mosfets in parallel for the low-side for each phase. c t10 a ? 1v out + --------------------- - = rt ?
