8 V to 18 Vin, 15 A Cool-Power ZVS Buck Regulator

Cool-Power® PI34xx-00 Product Description The PI34xx-00 is a family of high efficiency DC-DC ZVS-Buck regulators integrating the controller, power switches and support components within a high density System-in-Package (SiP). The PI34xx-00 is designed to achieve optimum efficiency at low input voltage ranges (8 V to 18 V). The utilization of zero current soft turn-on provided by the high performance ZVS topology within the PI34xx-00 series increases point of load performance, providing best in class power efficiency with high throughput power. The PI34xx-00 requires only an external inductor and minimal capacitors to form a complete DC-DC switching mode buck regulator. The ZVS architecture enables high frequency operation while minimizing switching losses and maximizing efficiency. The high switching frequency operation reduces the size of the external filtering components, improves power density, and enables very fast dynamic response to line and load transients. The ZVS architecture enables operation up to 750 kHz while minimizing switching losses and the use of variable frequency extends high efficiency over a very wide dynamic range. The PI34xx-00 series has a minimum on time of 20ns which enables large step down conversion ratios.

Cool-Power® Rev 1.3 vicorpower.com Page 22 of 30 12/2015 800 927.9474 PI34xx-00 Functional Description The PI34xx-00 is a family of highly integrated ZVS-Buck regulators. The PI34xx-00 has a set output voltage that is trimmable within a prescribed range shown in Table 1. Performance and maximum output current are characterized with a specific external power inductor (see Table 4). For basic operation, Figure 36 shows the connections and components required. No additional design or settings are required. ENABLE (EN) EN is the enable pin of the regulator. The EN Pin is referenced to SGND and permits the user to turn the regulator on or off. The EN polarity is a positive logic assertion. If the EN pin is left floating or asserted high, the regulator output is enabled. Pulling EN pin below 0.8 Vdc with respect to SGND will disable the regulator output. Remote Sensing An internal 100 Ω resistor is connected between REM pin and VOUT pin to provide regulation when the REM connection is broken. Referring to Figure 36, it is important to note that L1 and Cout are the output filter and the local sense point for the power supply output. As such, the REM pin should be connected at Cout as the default local sense connection unless remote sensing to compensate additional distribution losses in the system. The REM pin should not be left floating. Switching Frequency Synchronization The SYNCI input allows the user to synchronize the controller switching frequency by an external clock referenced to SGND. The external clock can synchronize the unit between 50% and 110% of the preset switching frequency (fS). The PI34xx-00 syncs to the falling edge of the applied clock providing 180° phase shift from SYNCO. This allows for the paralleling of two PI34xx-00 devices. When using the internal oscillator, the SYNCO pin provides a 5 V clock that can be used to sync other regulators. Therefore, one PI34xx- 00 can act as the lead regulator and have additional PI34xx-00 s running in parallel and interleaved. Soft-Start The PI34xx-00 includes an internal soft-start capacitor to ramp the output voltage in 2ms from 0 V to full output voltage. Connecting an external capacitor from the TRK pin to SGND will increase the start-up ramp period. See, “Soft Start Adjustment and Track,” in the Applications Description section for more details. Output Voltage Trim The PI34xx-00 output voltage can be trimmed up from the preset output by connecting a resistor from ADJ pin to SGND and can be trimmed down by connecting a resistor from ADJ pin to V OUT. The Table 1 defines the voltage ranges for the PI34xx-00 family. Output Current Limit Protection PI34xx-00 has two methods implemented to protect from output short or over current condition. Slow Current Limit protection: prevents the output load from sourcing current higher than the regulator’s maximum rated current. If the output current exceeds the Current Limit OUT_CL) for 1024 us, a slow current limit fault is initiated and the regulator is shutdown which eliminates output current flow. After Fault Restart Delay (t FR_DLY), a soft-start cycle is initiated. This restart cycle will be repeated indefinitely until the excessive load is removed. Fast Current Limit protection: PI34xx-00 monitors the regulator inductor current pulse-by-pulse to prevent the output from supplying very high current due to sudden low impedance short (50 A Typical). If the regulator senses a high inductor current pulse, it will initiate a fault and stop switching until Fault Restart Delay ends and then initiate a soft-start cycle. Input Undervoltage Lockout If V IN falls below the input Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) threshold, the regulator will enter a low power state and initiate a fault. The system will restart once the input voltage is reestablished and after the Fault Restart Delay. Input Overvoltage Lockout If VIN exceeds the input Overvoltage Lockout (OVLO) threshold (VOVLO), while the regulator is running, the PI34xx-00 will complete the current cycle and stop switching. The system will resume operation after the Fault Restart Delay.

If the output voltage exceeds 20% of its set regulated value, the regulator will complete the current cycle, stop switching and issue an OVP fault. The system will resume operation once the output voltage falls below the OVP threshold and after Fault Restart Delay. Overtemperature Protection The internal package temperature is monitored to prevent internal components from reaching their thermal maximum. If the Over Temperature Protection Threshold (OTP) is exceeded (T OTP), the regulator will complete the current switching cycle, enter a low power mode, set a fault flag, and will soft-start when the internal temperature falls below Over- Temperature Restart (T OTP_HYS). Parallel Operation Paralleling modules can be used to increase the output current capability of a single power rail and reduce output voltage ripple. By connecting the EAO pins and SGND pins of each module together the units will share the current equally. When the TRK pins of each unit are connected together, the units will track each other during soft-start and all unit EN pins have to be released to allow the units to start (See Figure 37). Also, any fault event in any regulator will disable the other regulators. The two regulators will be out of phase with each other reducing output ripple (refer to Switching Frequency Synchronization). To provide synchronization between regulators over the entire operational frequency range, the Parallel Good (PGD) pin must be connected to the lead regulator’s (#1) SYNCI pin and a 2.5 kΩ Resistor, R1, must be placed between SYNCO (#2) return and the lead regulator’s SYNCI (#1) pin, as shown in Figure 37. In this configuration, at system soft-start, the PGD pin pulls SYNCI low forcing the lead regulator to initialize the open-loop startup synchronization. Once the regulators reach regulation, SYNCI is released and the system is now synchronized in a closed-loop configuration which allows the system to adjust, on the fly, when any of the individual regulators begin to enter variable frequency mode in the loop. Pulse Skip Mode (PSM) PI34xx-00 features a PSM to achieve high efficiency at light loads. The regulators are setup to skip pulses if EAO falls below a PSM threshold. Depending on conditions and component values, this may result in single pulses or several consecutive pulses followed by skipped pulses. Skipping cycles significantly reduces gate drive power and improves light load efficiency. The regulator will leave PSM once the EAO rises above the Skip Mode threshold. Variable Frequency Operation Each PI34xx-00 is preprogrammed to a base operating frequency, with respect to the power stage inductor (see Table 4), to operate at peak efficiency across line and load variations. At low line and high load applications, the base frequency will decrease to accommodate these extreme operating ranges. By stretching the frequency, the ZVS operation is preserved throughout the total input line voltage range therefore maintaining optimum efficiency. Application Description Output Voltage Trim The PI34xx-00 family of Buck Regulators provides five post-package trim step is implemented to offset any resistor divider network errors ensuring maximum output accuracy. With a single resistor connected from the ADJ pin to SGND or REM, each device’s output can be varied above or below the nominal set voltage (the PI3420-00 can only be adjusted above the set voltage of 1 V). The remote pin (REM) should always be connected to the V OUT pin to prevent an output voltage offset. Figure 38 shows the internal feedback voltage divider network.

Inductor Pairing The PI34xx-00 utilizes an external inductor from the Eaton Inductor line at Cooper Industries. This inductor has been optimized for maximum efficiency performance. Table 4 details the specific inductor value and part number utilized for each PI34xx-00 device. Datasheets are available at www.cooperindustries.com. Thermal Derating Thermal de-rating curves are provided that are based on component temperature changes versus load current, input voltage and air flow. It is recommended to use these curves as a guideline for proper thermal de-rating. These curves represent the entire system and are inclusive to both the Picor regulator and the external inductor. Maximum thermal operation is limited by either the MOSFETs or inductor depending upon line and load conditions. Thermal measurements were made using a standard PI34xx-

00 Evaluation board which is 3 x 4 inches in area and uses 4-

layer, 2oz copper. Thermal measurements were made on the three main power devices, the two internal MOSFETs and the external inductor. Filter Considerations The PI34xx-00 requires input bulk storage capacitance as well as low impedance ceramic X5R input capacitors to ensure proper start up and high frequency decoupling for the power stage. The PI34xx-00 will draw nearly all of the high frequency current from the low impedance ceramic capacitors when the main high side MOSFET is conducting. During the time the high side MOSFET is off, they are replenished from the bulk capacitor. If the input impedance is high at the switching frequency of the regulator, the bulk capacitor must supply all of the average current into the regulator, including replenishing the ceramic capacitors. This value has been chosen to be 100μF so that the PI34xx-00 can start up into a full resistive load and supply the output capacitive load with the default minimum soft start capacitor when the input source impedance is 50 Ohms at 1MHz. The ESR for this capacitor should be approximately 20mΩ. The RMS ripple current in this capacitor is small, so it should not be a concern if the input recommended ceramic capacitors are used. Table 5 shows the recommended input and output capacitors to be used for the various models as well as expected transient response, RMS ripple currents per capacitor, and input and output ripple voltages. Table 6 includes the recommended input and output ceramic capacitors.
