DESCRIPTION
The SC1164/5 combines a synchronous voltage mode controller with two low-dropout linear regulators providing most of the circuitry necessary to implement three DC/DC converters for powering advanced (R) microprocessors such as Pentium II. The SC1164/5 switching section features an integrated 5 bit D/A converter, pulse by pulse current limiting, integrated power good signaling, and logic compatible shutdown. The SC1164/5 switching section operates at a fixed frequency of 200kHz, providing an optimum compromise between size, efficiency and cost in the intended application areas. The integrated D/A converter provides programmability of output voltage from 2.0V to 3.5V in 100mV increments and 1.30V to 2.05V in 50mV increments with no external components. The SC1164/5 linear sections are low dropout regulators. The SC1164 supplies 1.5V for GTL bus and 2.5V for non-GTL I/O. For the SC1165 both LDO's are adjustable.

LAYOUT GUIDELINES
Careful attention to layout requirements are necessary for successful implementation of the SC1164/5 PWM controller. High currents switching at 200kHz are present in the application and their effect on ground plane voltage differentials must be understood and minimized. 1). The high power parts of the circuit should be laid out first. A ground plane should be used, the number and position of ground plane interruptions should be such as to not unnecessarily compromise ground plane integrity. Isolated or semi-isolated areas of the ground plane may be deliberately introduced to constrain ground currents to particular areas, for example the input capacitor and bottom FET ground. 2). The loop formed by the Input Capacitor(s) (Cin), the Top FET (Q1) and the Bottom FET (Q2) must be kept
as small as possible. This loop contains all the high current, fast transition switching. Connections should be as wide and as short as possible to minimize loop inductance. Minimizing this loop area will a) reduce EMI, b) lower ground injection currents, resulting in electrically "cleaner" grounds for the rest of the system and c) minimize source ringing, resulting in more reliable gate switching signals. 3). The connection between the junction of Q1, Q2 and the output inductor should be a wide trace or copper region. It should be as short as practical. Since this connection has fast voltage transitions, keeping this connection short will minimize EMI. The connection between the output inductor and the sense resistor should be a wide trace or copper area, there are no fast voltage or current transitions in this connection and length is not so important, however adding unnecessary impedance will reduce efficiency.

October 25, 1999 4) The Output Capacitor(s) (Cout) should be located as close to the load as possible, fast transient load currents are supplied by Cout only, and connections between Cout and the load must be short, wide copper areas to minimize inductance and resistance. 5) The SC1164/5 is best placed over a quiet ground plane area, avoid pulse currents in the Cin, Q1, Q2 loop flowing in this area. PGNDH and PGNDL should be returned to the ground plane close to the package. The AGND pin should be connected to the ground side of (one of) the output capacitor(s). If this is not possible, the AGND pin may be connected to the ground path between the Output Capacitor(s) and the Cin, Q1, Q2 loop. Under no circumstances should AGND be returned to a ground inside the Cin, Q1, Q2 loop. 6) Vcc for the SC1164/5 should be supplied from the
SC1164/5
5V supply through a 10 resistor, the Vcc pin should be decoupled directly to AGND by a 0.1F ceramic capacitor, trace lengths should be as short as possible. 7) The Current Sense resistor and the divider across it should form as small a loop as possible, the traces running back to CS+ and CS- on the SC1164/5 should run parallel and close to each other. The 0.1F capacitor should be mounted as close to the CS+ and CS- pins as possible. 8) Ideally, the grounds for the two LDO sections should be returned to the ground side of (one of) the output capacitor(s).

COMPONENT SELECTION
SWITCHING SECTION OUTPUT CAPACITORS - Selection begins with the most critical component. Because of fast transient load current requirements in modern microprocessor core supplies, the output capacitors must supply all transient load current requirements until the current in the output inductor ramps up to the new level. Output capacitor ESR is therefore one of the most important criteria. The maximum ESR can be simply calculated from:
fast enough to reduce the voltage dropped across the ESR at a faster rate than the capacitor sags, hence ensuring a good recovery from transient with no additional excursions. We must also be concerned with ripple current in the output inductor and a general rule of thumb has been to allow 10% of maximum output current as ripple current. Note that most of the output voltage ripple is produced by the inductor ripple current flowing in the output capacitor ESR. Ripple current can be calculated from:
R ESR
V t It
ILRIPPLE=
VIN 4L fOSC
Where Vt = Maximum transient voltage excursion It = Transient current step
For example, to meet a 100mV transient limit with a 10A load step, the output capacitor ESR must be less than 10m. To meet this kind of ESR level, there are three available capacitor technologies.
Each Capacitor Technology Low ESR Tantalum OS-CON Low ESR Aluminum C (F) 330 330 1500 ESR (m) 60 25 44 Qty. Rqd. 6 3 5 Total C (F) 2000 990 7500 ESR (m) 10 8.3 8.8
Ripple current allowance will define the minimum permitted inductor value. POWER FETS - The FETs are chosen based on several criteria with probably the most important being power dissipation and power handling capability. TOP FET - The power dissipation in the top FET is a combination of conduction losses, switching losses and bottom FET body diode recovery losses. a) Conduction losses are simply calculated as:
2 PCOND = IO RDS( on )
where = duty cycle VO VIN
b) Switching losses can be estimated by assuming a switching time, if we assume 100ns then:
PSW = I O V IN 10 - 2
The choice of which to use is simply a cost/performance issue, with Low ESR Aluminum being the cheapest, but taking up the most space. INDUCTOR - Having decided on a suitable type and value of output capacitor, the maximum allowable value of inductor can be calculated. Too large an inductor will produce a slow current ramp rate and will cause the output capacitor to supply more of the transient load current for longer - leading to an output voltage sag below the ESR excursion calculated above. The maximum inductor value may be calculated from:
or more generally,
PSW =
IO VIN ( t r + t f ) fOSC 4
L
R ESR C (VIN - VO ) It
c) Body diode recovery losses are more difficult to estimate, but to a first approximation, it is reasonable to assume that the stored charge on the bottom FET body diode will be moved through the top FET as it starts to turn on. The resulting power dissipation in the top FET will be:
PRR = Q RR VIN f OSC
To a first order approximation, it is convenient to only consider conduction losses to determine FET suitability. For a 5V in; 2.8V out at 14.2A requirement, typical FET losses would be:
The calculated maximum inductor value assumes 100% duty cycle, so some allowance must be made. Choosing an inductor value of 50 to 75% of the calculated maximum will guarantee that the inductor current will ramp

SC1164/5
BUK556H 22 IRL2203 Si4410 7.0 13.5
BOTTOM FET - Bottom FET losses are almost entirely due to conduction. The body diode is forced into conduction at the beginning and end of the bottom switch conduction period, so when the FET turns on and off, there is very little voltage across it, resulting in low switching losses. Conduction losses for the FET can be determined by:
2 PCOND = I O R DS ( on ) (1 - )
INPUT CAPACITORS - since the RMS ripple current in the input capacitors may be as high as 50% of the output current, suitable capacitors must be chosen accordingly. Also, during fast load transients, there may be restrictions on input di/dt. These restrictions require useable energy storage within the converter circuitry, either as extra output capacitance or, more usually, additional input capacitors. Choosing low ESR input capacitors will help maximize ripple rating for a given size.

BUK556H 22 IRL2203 Si4410
Each of the package types has a characteristic thermal impedance, for the TO-220 package, thermal impedance is mostly determined by the heatsink used. For the surface mount packages on double sided FR4, 2 oz printed o circuit board material, thermal impedances of 40 C/W 2 o for the D PAK and 80 C/W for the SO-8 are readily achievable. The corresponding temperature rise is detailed below: Temperature rise ( C) FET type Top FET

(1) With 20 C/W Heatsink It is apparent that single SO-8 Si4410 are not adequate for this application, but by using parallel pairs in each position, power dissipation will be approximately halved and temperature rise reduced by a factor of 4.
