DETAILED OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
PWM Input with Tri-state Function
The PWM input receives the PWM control signal from the VR
controller IC. The PWM input is designed to be compatible
with standard controllers using two state logic (H and L) and
advanced controllers that incorporate tri-state logic (H, L
and tri-state) on the PWM output. For two state logic, the
PWM input operates as follows. When PWM is driven above
V
PWM_TH_R
the low-side is turned OFF and the high-side is
turned ON. When PWM input is driven below V
PWM_TH_F
the
high-side is turned OFF and the low-side is turned ON. For
tri-state logic, the PWM input operates as previously stated
for driving the MOSFETs when PWM is logic high and logic
low. However, there is a third state that is entered as the
PWM output of tri-state compatible controller enters its high
impedance state during shut-down. The high impedance
state of the controller’s PWM output allows the SiC521 and
SiC521A to pull the PWM input into the tri-state region (see
definition of PWM logic and Tri-State, fig. 4). If the PWM
input stays in this region for the Tri-state Hold-Off Period,
t
TSHO
, both high-side and low-side MOSFETs are turned
OFF. The function allows the VR phase to be disabled
without negative output voltage swing caused by inductor
ringing and saves a Schottky diode clamp. The PWM and
tri-state regions are separated by hysteresis to prevent false
triggering. The SiC521A incorporates PWM voltage
thresholds that are compatible with 3.3 V logic and the
SiC521 thresholds are compatible with 5 V logic.
Diode Emulation Mode (ZCD_EN#)
When ZCD_EN# pin is logic low and PWM signal switches
low, GL is forced ON (after normal BBM time). During this
time, it is under control of the ZCD (zero crossing detect)
comparator. If, after the internal blanking delay, the inductor
current becomes zero, the low-side is turned OFF. This
improves light load efficiency by avoiding discharge of
output capacitors. If PWM enters tri-state, then device will
go into normal tri-state mode after tri-state delay. The GL
output will be turned OFF regardless of Inductor current, this
is an alternative method of improving light load efficiency by
reducing switching losses.
Voltage Input (V
IN
)
This is the power input to the drain of the high-side power
MOSFET. This pin is connected to the high power
intermediate BUS rail.
Switch Node (V
SWH
and PHASE)
The switch node, V
SWH
, is the circuit power stage output.
This is the output applied to the power inductor and output
filter to deliver the output for the buck converter. The PHASE
pin is internally connected to the switch node, V
SWH
. This pin
is to be used exclusively as the return pin for the BOOT
capacitor. A 20 kΩ resistor is connected between GH and
PHASE to provide a discharge path for the HS MOSFET in
the event that V
CIN
goes to zero while V
IN
is still applied.
Ground Connections (C
GND
and P
GND
)
P
GND
(power ground) should be externally connected to
C
GND
(control signal ground). The layout of the printed circuit
board should be such that the inductance separating C
GND
and P
GND
is minimized. Transient differences due to
inductance effects between these two pins should not
exceed 0.5 V.
Control and Drive Supply Voltage Input (V
DRV
, V
CIN
)
V
CIN
is the bias supply for the gate drive control IC. V
DRV
is
the bias supply for the gate drivers. It is recommended to
separate these pins through a resistor. This creates a low
pass filtering effect to avoid coupling of high frequency gate
drive noise into the IC.
Bootstrap Circuit (BOOT)
The internal bootstrap diode and an external bootstrap
capacitor form a charge pump that supplies voltage to the
BOOT pin. An integrated bootstrap diode is incorporated so
that only an external capacitor is necessary to complete the
bootstrap circuit. Connect a boot strap capacitor with one
leg tied to BOOT pin and the other tied to PHASE pin.
Shoot-Through Protection and Adaptive Dead Time
The SiC521 and SiC521A have an internal adaptive logic to
avoid shoot through and optimize dead time. The shoot
through protection ensures that both high-side and low-side
MOSFETs are not turned ON at the same time. The adaptive
dead time control operates as follows. The high-side and
low-side gate voltages are monitored to prevent the
MOSFET turning ON from tuning ON until the other
MOSFET's gate voltage is sufficiently low (< 1 V). Built in
delays also ensure that one power MOSFET is completely
OFF, before the other can be turned ON. This feature helps
to adjust dead time as gate transitions change with respect
to output current and temperature.
Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
During the start up cycle, the UVLO disables the gate
drive, holding high-side and low-side MOSFET gates low,
until the supply voltage rail has reached a point at which
the logic circuitry can be safely activated. The SiC521 and
SiC521A also incorporate logic to clamp the gate drive
signals to zero when the UVLO falling edge triggers the
shutdown of the device. As an added precaution, a 20 kΩ
resistor is connected between GH and PHASE to provide a
discharge path for the HS MOSFET.
