  january 2013 doc id 024010 rev 1 1/22 AN4217 application note designing the spv1020 with serial and parallel output configurations by massimiliano santo antonino ragusa introduction the steval-isv008v1 and steval-isv018v1 demonstration boards are based on stmicroelectronics? photovoltaic pro ducts spv1020, spv1001 n30 and spv1001n40. these boards are designed for innovative distributed pv panels and their size is suitable for most junction boxes available on the market. each pcb uses three of the spv1020 solar boost mppt regulators, whose outputs can be connected in parallel (steval-isv008v1) or in series (steval-isv018v1). details on the spv1020 device can be found in the product?s datashee t, and in application note an3392, both available at www.st.com . the spv1001n30 is used as a high efficiency bypass device between the input and output. it automatically turns on when the spv1020 is off due to an input voltage lower than its uvlo. the spv1001n40 is used as a high efficiency bypass device at the output stage of each spv1020. it automatically turns on when the spv1020 is off, offering a low impedance path from v out- to the output rail v out+ , as shown in figure 5. www.st.com

steval-isv0x8v1 parallel and series connection AN4217 4/22 doc id 024010 rev 1 3 steval-isv0x8v1 parallel and series connection the output pins of differen t spv1020 devices can be connec ted both in parallel and in series. in both cases, the output power (p out ) will depend on light irra diation of each panel (p in ), application efficiency and by the specific constraints of the selected topology. the objective of this section is to show how the output power is impacted by the selected topology. examples with three pv panels are presented and the results can be extended to a larger number of pv panels. when the spv1020 is on (light irradiation generating v in 6.5 v) equation 1 when the spv1020 is off, system efficiency will depend upon the drop of the bypass diodes (d1, d10, d12, as shown in th e steval-isv0x8v1 schematics see figure 17 and figure 18 ): equation 2 in the case of panel completely shaded: equation 3 3.0.1 steval-isv008v1 parallel connection this topology guarantees the desired output voltage even if only one of the panels is irradiated. output voltage of the steval-i sv008v1 is limited to the spv1020 maximum output voltage, which is 40 v. figure 5 and 6 show details of the parallel connection topology: p inx p outx = ] 3 .. 1 [ = x p inx p outx bp = ] 3 .. 1 [ = x 0 = p out x figure 6. steval-i sv008v1, panel connections for output parallel connection figure 7. steval-isv008v1, component configuration for output parallel connection

AN4217 steval-isv0x8v1 parallel and series connection doc id 024010 rev 1 7/22 3.0.2 steval-isv018v1 series connection this topology provides an output voltage that is the sum of the output voltages of each spv1020 connected in series. the following in formation shows how the output power is determined by the output series connection. figure 10 shows a detail of the series connection topology: in this case, the topology constraint implies: equation 7 in the case where the irradiation is the same for each panel: equation 8 so equation 9 for example, assuming, p out = 90 w and, if desired v out = 90 v then v outx = 30 v lower irradiation for one panel, for example on panel 2, causes lower output power, so lower v out2 due to the i out constraint: figure 10. steval-isv018v1, panel connections for output series connection figure 11. steval-isv018v1, components configuration for output series connection 3 2 1 i out i out i out i out = = = 3 2 1 v out v out v out v out + + = 3 2 1 p i n p i n p in = = p out x p out * 3 = ] 3 .. 1 [ = x p out p outx 3 1 = i out v out i out x v out x p out x * 1 * = = v out v outx 3 1 =

AN4217 steval-isv0x8v1 parallel and series connection doc id 024010 rev 1 9/22 equation 12 in this case the system is at its limit. a lower irradiation will impact v out1 and/or v out3 which are already at the limit (40 v) imposed by r3/r4 partitioning. example 3: panel 2 is completely shaded. in this case, the maximum v out available is 80 v (v out1 +v out3 ). on the steval-isv018v1 application board, bypass diode (d4) around the second spv1020 allows i out to flow. figure 12 shows power conversion efficiency when v mpp = 12 v and i mpp ranges from 1 a to 8 a (in steps of 1 a). power ranges between 36 w and 288 w. 3 0 40 0.75 v o u t1 = v = v v o u t 10 75 . 0 5 . 7 2 = = v o u t 3 = 3 * 4 1 1 * 4 1 2 v out v out v out = = w p out p out 30 2 1 = = w p in p out 5 . 7 1 4 1 2 = = w p out p out p out p out 5 . 67 3 2 1 = + + = a v out p out i out 75 . 0 90 5 . 67 = = =

layout guidelines AN4217 18/22 doc id 024010 rev 1 6 layout guidelines pcb layout is very important in order to minimize noise, high frequency resonance problems and electromagnetic interference. paths between each inductor and its relative pin must be designed with the same resistance. different resistances among the four branches can be the cause of unbalanced current flow among the four branches. unbalanced currents could damage the chip or cause poor mppt tracking. to reduce radiation and resonance problems it is essential to keep high current paths as small as possible. large traces for high current paths and an extended ground plane under the metal slug of the package help reduce noise and improve heat dissipation, as well as increase the efficiency. high current paths are highlighted by thicker lines in the figure 17 and figure 18 . input and output capacitors must be close as possible to the device. output capacitance must be equally distributed among the v out pins of the device. for example, refer to the placement of c6, c12, c13, c40, c41 and c42 in figure 19: steval-isv008v1 pcb layout example (top view) boostrap capacitors (connect ed between lx and cbx pins) mu st be connected as close as possible to the related pins. external resistor dividers should be as close as possible to the v in_sns and v out_sns pins of the device, and as far as possible from the high current circulating paths, to avoid noise pickup. for an example of a recommended layout, see the following demonstration board (dimensions expressed in mm): figure 19. steval-isv008v1 pcb layout example (top view)
