The device has programmable switching frequency of 100 kHz to 2 MHz. The voltage mode, constant on time control scheme delivers fast transient response, minimizes the number of external components and enables loop stability regardless of the type of output capacitor used, including low ESR ceramic capacitors. The device also incorporates a power saving feature that enables diode emulation mode and frequency fold back as the load decreases. SiC46x integrates a high performance power stage with a n-channel high side MOSFET and a n-channel low side MOSFET optimized to achieve up to 98 % efficiency.

M, 17-Sep-2018 The power input voltage (VIN) can go up to 60 V and down as low as 4.5 V for power conversion. Control Scheme SiC46x employs a voltage mode COT control mechanism in conjunction with adaptive zero current detection which allows for power saving in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The switching frequency, fSW, is set by an external resistor to AGND, Rfsw. The SiC46x operates between 100 kHz to 2 MHz depending on VIN and VOUT conditions. V OUT R fsw = --------------------------------------------12 f sw 190 10 Note, as long as VIN and VCIN are connected together, fSW has no dependency on VIN as the on time is adjusted as VIN varies. During steady-state operation, feedback voltage (VFB) is compared with internal reference (0.8 V typ.) and the amplified error signal (VCOMP) is generated at the comp node by the external compensation components, RCOMP and CCOMP. An externally generated ramp signal and VCOMP feed into a comparator. Once VRAMP crosses VCOMP, an on-time Document Number: 65124 6 For technical questions, contact: powerictechsupport@vishay.com THIS DOCUMENT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.

During the on-time pulse, the high side MOSFET will be turned on. Once the on-time pulse expires, the low side MOSFET will be turned on after a dead time period. The low side MOSFET will stay on for a minimum duration equal to the minimum off-time (tOFF_MIN.) and remains on until VRAMP crosses VCOMP. The cycle is then repeated.

VCOMP V IN - V OUT V OUT V RAMP = ----------------------------------------------------- V IN f sw C x R x PWM Fixed on-time Fig. 5 - SiC46x Operational Principle The need for ripple injection in this architecture is explained below. First, let us understand the basic principles of this control architecture: * The reference of a basic voltage mode COT regulator is replaced with a high gain error amplifier loop. The loop ensures the DC component of the output voltage follows the internal accurate reference voltage, providing excellent regulation * A second voltage feedback path via VSNS with a VRAMP scheme ensures rapid correction of the transient perturbation * This establishes two voltage loops, one is the steady state voltage feedback path (via the FB pin) and the other is the feed forward path (via the VSNS pin). The scheme gives the user the fast transient response of a COT regulator and the stable, jitter free, line and load regulation performance of a PWM controller Choosing the Ripple Injection Component Values For stability purposes the SiC46x requires adequate ripple injection amplitude. Adequate ripple amplitude is required for two main reasons: 1. To reduce jitter due to noise coupled into the system 2. To provide stable operation. Sub harmonic oscillation can occur with constant on time ripple control if below condition is not met t ON ESR C OUT --------2 Therefore, when the converter design uses an all ceramic output capacitor or other low ESR output capacitors, instability can occur. In order to avoid this, a VRAMP network is used to increase the equivalent RESR in order to satisfy the above condition. The VRAMP amplitude must be large enough to avoid instability or noise sensitivity but not too large that it degrades transient performance. To ensure stable operation under CCM, DCM and ultrasonic mode, minimum VRAMP amplitude of 100 mV is recommended for the SiC46x family of regulators. A maximum VRAMP of 900 mV is recommended so as not to degrade transient response. S18-0938-Rev. M, 17-Sep-2018 VRAMP amplitude is a function of VIN, VOUT, and switching frequency and should be adjusted whenever VIN, VOUT, or switching frequency is changed. For a given buck regulator design, VOUT and switching frequency is typically fixed, while the converter may be expected to work for a wide VIN range. The VRAMP amplitude will increase as VIN is increased and increase the power dissipated by Rx. A proper selection of RX, package size and value, should take into account the maximum power dissipation at the expected operating conditions. In order to optimize the VRAMP amplitude over a desired VIN range use the following procedure to calculate Rx, Cx, and Cy. 1. The equation below calculates RX as a function of VIN, VOUT, and maximum allowable power dissipated by RX. V IN_MAX. V OUT 1 - D R x = -------------------------------------------------------------------P RX_MAX. where PRX_MAX. is the maximum allowed power dissipation in Rx. Note, the maximum power dissipation of a 0603 sized resistor is typically 25 mW. Power dissipation derating must be taken into account for high ambient temperatures 2. The equation below calculates CX_MIN. as a function of VIN and maximum allowed VRAMP amplitude. P RX_MAX. C X_MIN. = --------------------------------------------------------------------------V IN_MAX. f sw V RAMP_MAX. where VRAMP_MAX. = 900 mV 3. Using VRAMP equation, calculate VRAMP_MIN. at minimum VIN based on the Rx and the minimum Cx value calculated above 4. If VRAMP_MIN. is > 200 mV, set Cx to CX_MIN., otherwise set Cx to (Cx_MIN. x VRAMP_MIN./200 mV). If VRIPPLE_MIN. is < 100 mV, increase PRX_MAX. and recalculate RX and CX 5. Cy should be large enough not to distort the VRAMP and small enough not to load excessively the VRAMP network (Rx and Cx). Please use the follow formula: Cy = 1/(0.82 x fsw) This procedure allows for a maximum range of operation. In order to simplify the procedure for calculating VRAMP and compensation components, a calculator is provided (visit www.vishay.com/doc?65124).

For optimal transient response, the crossover frequency should be: * Set typically at 1/10th to 1/5th of the converter switching frequency (Vishay's component calculator tool uses 1/10th the converter switching frequency) * Be above the LC filter resonance frequency which is 1/2 LC The procedure to select the RCOMP and CCOMP such that the above conditions are met is as follows: 1. Plot the magnitude and phase of the control to output transfer function using the equation below. Control to output transfer function. 1 + sR C C o 1 + sR x C x 1 + sR y C y H(s) = A -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------sL 2 L 2 1 + ------ + s LC o 1 + sR x C x 1 + sRy C y + AR y C y s 1 + s R x C x + ------- + s R x R c C x C o + LC o Ro Ro Where A = (2VIN x Rx x Cx x f)/VOUT, Rx, Cx, Cy are components for ripple injection as shown in Fig. 6 and Ry is the internal impedance of the VSNS pin and is = 65 k. Co - output capacitance Rc - output capacitor ESR 2. From the plot of the control to output transfer function, determine the gain and phase at the crossover frequency 3. Calculate the RCOMP using the equation 1 R COMP = -------------------------------------G H gm r FB where GH is the gain of the transfer function at cross over frequency, "gm" is the transconductance of the error amplifier (300 S) and rFB is the ratio of the feedback divider, rFB = R_FB_L/(R_FB_L + R_FB_H) 4. Select CCOMP based on the placement of the zero such that phase margin is sufficient at the cross over frequency. A phase margin of over 60 is sufficient for converter stability. A good starting point is to place the compensation zero at 1/5th of the LC pole 5 LC C COMP = ------------------R COMP Once the component values are calculated, it is now possible to calculate the total loop gain. The total loop gain is the product of the control to output transfer function and the error amplifier transfer function. The transfer function of the error amplifier is given by the equation below. 1 + sRCOMP C COMP r FB G s = gmR o ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 + s R COMP C COMP + R o C COMP Where Ro = 40 M is the output resistance of the transconductance amplifier.

The internal zero crossing detector monitors SW node voltage to determine when inductor current starts to flow negatively. In power saving mode, as soon as inductor current crosses zero, the device first deploys diode mode by turning off the low side MOSFET. If load further decreases, switching frequency is reduced proportional to the load condition to save switching losses while keeping output ripple within tolerance. If the ultrasonic pin is tied to VDD, the minimum switching frequency in discontinuous mode is > 20 kHz to avoid switching frequencies in the audible range. If this feature is not required ultrasonic mode can be disabled by floating the ULTRASONIC pin. When ultrasonic mode is disabled, the regulator will operate in forced continuous mode or power save mode where there is no limit to the lower frequency limit. In this state, at zero load, switching frequency can go as low as hundreds of hertz. Vishay Siliconix To improve the converter efficiency, the user can choose to disable the internal VDRV regulator by picking either mode 3 or mode 4 and connecting a 5 V supply to the VDRV pin. This reduces power dissipation in the SiC46x by eliminating the VDRV linear regulator losses. The mode pin supports several modes of operation as shown in table 1. An internal current source is used to set the voltage on this pin using an external resistor: TABLE 1 - OPERATION MODES MODE RANGE (k) 1 2 3 4 0 to 100 298 to 304 494 to 504 900 to 1100 POWER SAVE MODE Enabled Disabled Disabled Enabled INTERNAL VDRV REGULATOR ON ON OFF (1) OFF (1) Note (1) Connect a 5 V ( 5 %) supply to the V DRV pin The mode pin is not latched to any state and can be changed on the fly. OUTPUT MONITORING AND PROTECTION FEATURES Output Over-Current Protection (OCP) SiC46x has pulse-by-pulse over current limit control. The inductor current is monitored during low side MOSFET conduction time through RDS(on) sensing. After a pre-defined blanking time, the inductor current is compared with an internal OCP threshold. If inductor current is higher than OCP threshold, high side MOSFET is kept off until the inductor current falls below OCP threshold. OCP is enabled immediately after VDD passes UVLO level. OCP is set by an external resistor, RLIM to AGND. (See table 2) OCPthreshold Iload Iinductor GH Fig. 7 - Over-Current Protection Illustration Output Undervoltage Protection (UVP) UVP is implemented by monitoring the FB pin. If the voltage level at FB drops below 0.16 V for more than 25 s, a UVP event is recognized and both high side and low side MOSFETs are turned off. After a duration equivalent to 20 soft start periods, the IC attempts to re-start. If the fault condition still exists, the above cycle will be repeated. UVP is only active after the completion of soft-start sequence. Output Over Voltage Protection (OVP) OVP is implemented by monitoring the FB pin. If the voltage level at FB rising above 0.96 V, a OVP event is recognized and both high side and low side MOSFETs are turned off. Normal operation is resumed once FB voltage drop below 0.91 V. S18-0938-Rev. M, 17-Sep-2018 Over Temperature Protection (OTP) OTP is implemented by monitoring the junction temperature. If the junction temperature rises above 150 C, a OTP event is recognized and both high side and low MOSFETs are turned off. After the junction temperature falls below 115 C (35 C hysteresis), the device restarts by initiating a soft start sequence. Sequencing of Input / Output Supplies SiC46x has no sequencing requirements on its supplies or enables (VIN, VCIN, VDD, VDRV, EN). Enable The SiC46x has an enable pin to turn the part on and off. Driving this pin above 1.35 V enables the device, while driving the pin below 1.2 V disables the device. The EN pin is internally pulled to AGND by a 5 M resistor to prevent unwanted turn on due to a floating GPIO. Soft-Start During soft start time period, inrush current is limited and the output voltage is ramped gradually. The following control scheme is implemented: Once the VDD voltage reaches the UVLO trip point, an internal "Soft start Reference" (SR) begins to ramp up. The SR ramp rate is determined by the external soft start capacitor and an internal 5 A current source tied to the soft start pin. The internal SR signal is used as a reference voltage to the error amplifier (see functional block diagram). The control scheme guarantees that the output voltage during the soft start interval will ramp up coincidently with the SR voltage. The soft-start time, tSS, is adjustable by calculating a capacitor value from the following equation. C ss x 0.8 V t ss = -----------------------------5 A During soft-start period, OCP is activated. Short circuit protection is not active until soft-start is complete.

If the sensed voltage on FB is higher than the internal reference ramp value, control logic prevents high side and low side MOSFETs from switching to avoid negative output voltage spike and excessive current sinking through low side MOSFET. SiC46x's power good is an open-drain output. Pull PGOOD pin high through a > 10K resistor to use this signal. Power good window is shown in Fig. 9. If voltage on FB pin is out of this window, PGOOD signal is de-asserted by pulling down to AGND. To prevent false triggering during transient events, PGOOD has a 25 s blanking time.

Component reference designators in any equation refer to the schematic shown in Fig. 10. An excel based calculator is available on the website to make external component calculation simple. The user simply needs to enter required operating conditions. Output Voltage Adjustment If a different output voltage is needed, simply change the value of VOUT and solve for R_FB_H based on the following formula: R _FB_L V OUT - VFB R _FB_H = ----------------------------------------------------V FB where VFB is 0.8 V. R_FB_L should be a maximum of 10 k to prevent VOUT from drifting at no load. Switching Frequency Selection The following equation illustrates the relationship between frequency, VIN, VOUT, and Rfsw value: V OUT R fsw = --------------------------------------------------- 12 f sw x 190 x 10 Inductor Selection In order to determine the inductance, the ripple current must first be defined. Low inductor values allow for the use of smaller package sizes but create higher ripple current which can reduce efficiency. Higher inductor values will reduce the ripple current and, for a given DC resistance, are more efficient. However, larger inductance translates directly into larger packages and higher cost. Cost, size, output ripple, and efficiency are all used in the selection process. The ripple current will also set the boundary for power save operation. The SiC46x will typically enter power save mode when the load current decreases to 1/2 of the ripple current. For example, if ripple current is 1.8 A, power save operation will be active for loads less than 0.9 A. If ripple current is set at 30 % of maximum load current, power save will typically start at a load which is 15 % of maximum current. The inductor value is typically selected to provide ripple current of 25 % to 50 % of the maximum load current. This provides an optimal trade-off between cost, efficiency, and transient performance. During the on-time, voltage across the inductor is (VIN - VOUT). The equations for determining inductance are shown below. V OUT t ON = -----------------------V IN x f sw and V IN - VOUT x t ON L = -------------------------------------------------I OUT_MAX. x K where, K is the maximum percentage of ripple current. The designer can quickly make a choice of inductor if the ripple percentage is decided, usually no more than 30 % however higher or lower percentages of IOUT can be acceptable S18-0938-Rev. M, 17-Sep-2018 depending on application. This device allows choices larger than 30 %. Other than the inductance the DCR and saturation current parameters are key values. The DCR causes an I2R loss which will decrease the system efficiency and generate heat. The saturation current has to be higher than the maximum output current plus 1/2 of the ripple current. In an over current condition the inductor current may be very high. All this needs to be considered when selecting the inductor. Output Capacitor Selection The SiC46x is stable with any type of output capacitors by choosing the appropriate VRAMP components. This allows the user to choose the output capacitance based on the best trade off of board space, cost and application requirements. The output capacitors are chosen based upon required ESR and capacitance. The maximum ESR requirement is controlled by the output ripple voltage requirement and the DC tolerance. The output voltage has a DC value that is equal to the valley of the output ripple plus half of the peak-to-peak ripple. A change in the output ripple voltage will lead to a change in DC voltage at the output. The relationship between output voltage ripple, output capacitance and ESR of the output capacitor is shown by the following equation: 1 V RIPPLE = I RIPPLE MAX. x --------------------------------- + ESR 8 x C o x f sw (1) Where VRIPPLE is the maximum allowed output ripple voltage; IRIPPLE(MAX.) is the maximum inductor ripple current; fsw is the switching frequency of the converter; Co is the total output capacitance; ESR is the equivalent series resistance of the total output capacitors. In addition to the output ripple voltage requirement, the output capacitors need to meet transient requirements. A worst case load release condition (from maximum load to no load at the exact moment when inductor current is at the peak) determines the required capacitance. If the load release is instantaneous (load changes from maximum to zero within 1 s), the output capacitor must absorb all the energy stored in the inductor. The peak voltage on the capacitor, VPK, under this worst case condition can be calculated by following equation: 2 1 L x I OUT + --- x I RIPPLE(MAX.) 2 = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------2 2 V PK - V OUT (2) C OUT_MIN. During the load release time, the voltage across the inductor is approximately -VOUT. This causes a down-slope or falling di/dt in the inductor. If the load di/dt is not much faster than the di/dt of the inductor, then the inductor current will tend to track the falling load current. This will reduce the excess inductive energy that must be absorbed by the output capacitor; therefore a smaller capacitance can be used. The following can be used to calculate the required capacitance for a given diLOAD/dt.

In order to enable the device, an external signal greater than 1.4 V is required. The enable can also be used to set the minimum VCIN, VIN startup voltage by connecting a voltage divider between VIN, EN, and PGND. An automated calculator is available to assist in component selection. Current Limit Resistor The current limit is set by placing a resistor between ILIM and AGND.

Layout VIN and PGND planes as shown above 2. Ceramic capacitors should be placed between VIN and PGND, and very close to the device for best decoupling effect 3. Various ceramic capacitor values and package sizes should be used to cover entire coupling spectrum e.g. 1210 and 0603 1. Connect output inductor to device with large plane to lower resistance 2. If any snubber network is required, place the components on the bottom side as shown above Step 4: VDD/VDRV Input Filter 4. Smaller capacitance values, closer to VIN pin(s), provide better high frequency response Step 2: VCIN Pin AGND Vcin decouple cap P G N D AGND Plane Fig. 59 Fig. 57 1. VCIN is the input pin for both internal LDO and tON block. tON varies with input voltage and it is necessary to put a decoupling capacitor close to this pin 2. The connection can be made through a via and the capacitor can be placed at bottom layer S18-0938-Rev. M, 17-Sep-2018 1. CVDD cap should be placed between VDD and AGND to achieve best noise filtering 2. CVDRV cap should be placed close to VDRV and PGND pins to reduce effects of trace impedance and provide maximum instantaneous driver current for low side MOSFET during switching cycle Document Number: 65124 21 For technical questions, contact: powerictechsupport@vishay.com THIS DOCUMENT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.

CBOOT and RBOOT need to be placed very close to the device, between PHASE and BOOT pins 2. In order to reduce parasitic inductance, it is recommended to use 0402 chip size for the resistor and the capacitor S18-0938-Rev. M, 17-Sep-2018 Fig. 61 1. Separate the small analog signal from high current path. As shown above, the high current paths with high dv/dt, di/dt are placed on the left side of the IC, while the small control signals are placed on the right side of the IC. All the components for small analog signal should be placed closer to IC with minimum trace length 2. IC analog ground (AGND), pin 23, should have a single connection to PGND. The AGND ground plane connected to pin 23 helps to keep AGND quiet and improves noise immunity 3. Feedback signal can be routed through inner layer. Make sure this signal is far from SW node and shielded by inner ground layer 4. Ripple injection circuit can be placed next to inductor. Kelvin connection as shown above is recommended Document Number: 65124 22 For technical questions, contact: powerictechsupport@vishay.com THIS DOCUMENT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.

Thermal relief vias can be added on the VIN and PGND pads to utilize inner layers for high current and thermal dissipation 2. To achieve better thermal performance, additional vias can be placed on VIN and PGND planes. It is also necessary to duplicate the VIN and ground plane at bottom layer to maximize the power dissipation capability of the PCB 3. SW pad is a noise source and it is not recommended to place vias on this pad 4. 8 mil vias on pads and 10 mil vias on planes are ideal via sizes. The vias on pad may drain solder during assembly and cause assembly issues. Please consult with the assembly house for guideline S18-0938-Rev. M, 17-Sep-2018 1. It is recommended to make the entire inner layer (next to top layer) ground plane 2. This ground plane provides shielding between noise source on top layer and signal trace within inner layer 3. The ground plane can be broken into two sections, PGND and AGND Document Number: 65124 23 For technical questions, contact: powerictechsupport@vishay.com THIS DOCUMENT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
