ML4902 5 functional description the ML4902 pwm controller permits the construction of a simple yet sophisticated power supply for intels pentium pro and pentium ii microprocessor families. the ML4902 and its associated circuitry can be built either as a voltage regulator module (vrm) or as a dedicated supply on the motherboard. the ML4902 controls two n-channel mosfets in a synchronous buck regulator topology to convert a 5v input to the voltage required by the microprocessor. the output voltage can be set between 1.8v and 3.5v, as selected by an onboard dac. other features which facilitate the design of dc-dc converters for any type of processor include a trimmed 1% reference, special transient-response optimization in the feedback paths, a shutdown input, input and output power good monitors, and overcurrent protection. output voltage selection the inputs of the internal 2-chord 4-bit dac come from open collector signals provided by the processor. these signals specify what supply voltage the microprocessor requires. the output voltage of the buck converter is compared directly with the dac voltage to maintain regulation. d3 is the msb input and d0 is the lsb input of the dac, while range selects the output voltage range and the lsb voltage increment of the dac. the output of the dac is between 2.121v to 3.535v in 100mv steps when range = 1, and between 1.818v to 2.071v in 50mv steps when range = 0. the output voltage set by the dac is 1% above the processors nominal operating voltage to counteract the effects of connector and pc trace resistance, and of the instantaneous output voltage droop which occurs when a transient load is applied. for codes 00110 to 01111 and code 11111, the n drv h and n drv l outputs are disabled. voltage feedback loop the ML4902 contains two control loops to improve the load transient response. the output voltage is directly monitored via the v fb pin and compared to the desired output voltage set by the internal dac. when the output voltage is within +3% of the dac voltage, the proportional control loop (closed by the voltage error amplifier) keeps the output voltage at the correct value. if the output falls below the dac voltage by more than 3%, one side of the transient loop is activated, forcing the output of the ML4902 to maximum duty cycle until the output comes back within the +3% limit. if the output voltage rises above the dac voltage by more than 3%, the other side of the transient loop is activated, and the upper mosfet drive is disabled until the output comes back within the +3% limit. if the output voltage rises above the dac voltage by more than 10%, both n drv h and n drv l will be disabled to turn the converter off. during start-up, the transient loop is disabled until the output voltage is within -3% of the dac voltage. power good (pwr good) an open drain signal is provided by the ML4902 which tells the microprocessor when the entire power system is functioning within the expected limits. pwr good will be false (low) if either the 5v or 12v supply is not in regulation, when the shdn pin is pulled low, or when the output is not within +10% of the nominal output voltage selected by the internal dac. when pwr good is false, the pwr good voltage window is held to +3%; when pwr good is true (high), the window is expanded to +10%. using different windows for coming into and going out of regulation makes sure that pwr good does not oscillate during the start-up of the microprocessor. internal reference the ML4902 contains a 3.535v, temperature compensated, precision band-gap reference. the v ref pin is connected to the output of this reference, and should be bypassed with a 100nf to 220nf ceramic capacitor for proper operation. overcurrent protection overcurrent sensing for the ML4902 application circuit is typically accomplished by monitoring the voltage drop across the synchronous rectifier mosfets (q3||q4) during their conduction period. alternately, current can be sensed using a low-value, low-inductance sense resistor connected between the most negative end of the current recirculating element and ground. in either case, the resulting ir drop is presented to the ML4902s internal overcurrent comparator via the parts i sense pin. the overcurrent comparator has approximately 250ns of leading-edge blanking. this blanking interval allows the ML4902 to ignore spurious circuit voltages such as inductive transients and the synchronous rectifiers drain- body diode voltage during the anti-shootthrough interval. following this blanking interval, the comparator will turn on if the voltage on the i sense pin is more negative than C97mv. each time the overcurrent comparator turns on, the protect pin of the ML4902 sources a small current (30a) into an external rc network. if this current source is activated over a number of cycles, the voltage on the protect pin will charge above 3.5v, signaling a sustained overcurrent or short circuit at the load. this will cause the n drv h output to turn off. n drv h will remain off until the capacitor attached to the protect pin has discharged down to 1.5v, at which time the converter is re-enabled. if the fault causing the overcurrent condition has not been cleared, the overcurrent protection cycle will repeat, and the ML4902 circuit will operate in a hiccup mode to protect itself, the input supply, and the output.

ML4902 7 design considerations this section is a quick-check guide for getting ML4902 circuits up and running, with a special emphasis on pentium pro and pentium ii applications. unless otherwise noted, all component designators refer to the circuit shown in figure 1. compensation the r and c values connected to the comp pin for loop compensation are 330k w and 33pf, respectively. these values yield stable operation and rapid transient response for a most values of l2 and c out (1h to 5h, 3600f to 10,000f), and will generally not need to be altered. if changes do need to be made, note that the drive capability of the transconductance error amplifier is typically 20a, its z out is 5m w , and its unity-gain crossover frequency is approximately 10 mhz. input and output capacitors the input and output capacitors used in conjunction with the ML4902, especially in pentium pro and pentium ii applications, must be able to meet several criteria: 1. the input capacitors must be able to handle a relatively high ripple current 2. the output capacitors must have a low equivalent series resistance (esr) and equivalent series inductance (esl) 3. the output capacitors must be able to hold up the output during the time that the current through the buck inductor is slewing to meet a transient load step. the circuits input bypass capacitance should be able to handle a ripple current equal to 0.5 x i load . if the converter sees load peaks only occasionally, and for less than 30 seconds at a time during those intervals, then the aluminum electrolytic or os-con ? input capacitors need only be sized to accommodate the average output load. note that tantalum input capacitors have much less thermal mass than aluminum electrolytics, so this relaxation of ripple current requirements may not apply to them. during a 30a/s load transient, it is not practical for a buck converter to slew the its current fast enough to regulate the instantaneous output voltage required by this application. during the first few microseconds following such a load step, the output capacitance of the converter must act as a passive energy source. in delivering its energy to the load, the output capacitance must not introduce any considerable impedance, or its purpose will be defeated. a total voltage aberration during load transients of 5% is allowed for the pentium pro and pentium ii. the voltage transient due to esl and esr is: dd v esr v esl di dt out =? +? ! " $ # 16 (1) for example, assume that the output voltage of the ML4902 is set to 2.8v. to allow no more than 3% of d v out to be contributed by the esr (84mv) of the output capacitance, and 2% by its esl (56mv), the output esr should not exceed: esr max) mv a m ( == 84 14 6 w (2) similarly, the output esl should be less than or equal to: esl max) s a mv nh (. =? = 1 30 56 18 m (3) achieving these low values of esl and esr is not trivial; doing so typically requires using multiple high-quality capacitors in parallel, often with dedicated power and ground planes to minimize interconnection impedance. the output capacitance should have a value of > 2200f to hold the output voltage relatively constant (< 50mv of sag) until the current in the buck inductor can catch up with the change in output current. to meet the esr and esl requirements, the actual output capacitance will usually be significantly greater than this theoretical minimum. these capacitors can be of all one type, or a combination of aluminum electrolytic, os-con ? , and tantalum devices. figures 2(a) and 2(b) show oscilloscope photographs of the transient response of the circuit shown in figure 1. overcurrent protection overcurrent protection for the ML4902 application circuit can be accomplished either by using a low value sense resistor placed between the current recirculating rectifier and ground, or by directly monitoring the voltage drop across a synchronous rectifier mosfet (q3||q4) during its conduction period. using a current sense resistor has the advantages of accuracy over the entire operating temperature range, and of allowing the use of a schottky diode in place of a synchronous rectifier if the efficiency loss is acceptable. the disadvantages to using a sense resistor are higher cost and increased power dissipation. sensing across the synchronous rectifier has the advantages of lower cost and of enhanced protection against overtemperature conditions (the current limit point is linearly reduced as the mosfet temperature rises). if a current sensing resistor is employed (see figure 3), the resistor monitors the inductor current during the buck converters off period. this is the interval during which current will recirculate through the synchronous rectifier, or the schottky diode if no synchronous rectifier is used. given a C87mv minimum trip point for the overcurrent comparator, the value required for the sense resistor can be found by: r mv i sense out max = - || (. ) () 87 105 (4)

ML4902 9 design considerations (continued) the power handling requirement for r sense is given by: pi v v r doutmax out in sense =- ! " $ # # () 2 1 (5) for example, for a 14a output, r sense should be: r mv a mm sense = - =@ || . . 87 105 14 592 6 ww the maximum dissipation in r sense for a 5.0v input occurs at 1.80v out, where p diss is @ 0.94w. r sense must be a low inductance part, such as dale/ vishays type wsl-2512 series (wslC2512C.0061%). using a pcb trace as a current sense element is not recommended due to the high temperature coefficient of copper, and due to etching and plating tolerances which can occur from board to board. if a current sense resistor is not employed for overcurrent protection, the voltage drop across (q3||q4)s channel during its conducting interval (the synchronous rectification interval) is used to monitor the inductor current. ignoring the ac component of the current in the buck inductor, the voltage across (q3||q4) will be: vi r sense qq dsonqq =? 34 34 || || 16 05 16 (6) r ds(on) is typically specified at a mosfet junction temperature (t j ) of 25oc, but its value at other junction temperatures can either be found graphically in the mosfet data sheet, or can be estimated by: rr tc ds on t ds on c ()() ()( o) . o 225 1007 2 25 =??- 05 (7) with a nominal threshold of -97mv for the i sense comparator, the current limit threshold is then: i mv r limit ds on t = - 97 2 ()() (8) for pentium pro and pentium ii applications, the continuous current may be as high as 14a, so the current limit threshold should be set for a minimum value of 16a at the (q3||q4)s highest anticipated t j . if necessary, the voltage across the channel of (q3||q4) may be divided using two moderately-valued resistors (use r5 = 100 w ) and presented after that division to the ML4902. the r and c values connected to the protect pin for setting the current limit delay and the off-time of the hiccup mode are 1m w and 220nf, respectively. these values will protect the external power components and the power source from overheating during an overcurrent condition. if it is necessary to change the ratio of on and off times during overcurrent conditions, this can be done by selecting a different value for c12. larger values of c12 will increase the delay between retry attempts (the length of the hiccup), and smaller values will reduce the delay. higher current levels next generation processor chips will require currents of up to 20a. additionally, it is often desirable in larger systems to distribute all power from one 5v buss, regulating it down to other voltages as needed at the points of use. these applications are readily met by the ML4902. for instance, the circuit shown in figure 1 will deliver an output current of 20a with only three changes: ? as i out increases, the ripple current through the input capacitor bank will also increase. add at least one 1500f, 6.3v input capacitor in parallel with the three shown (c1 - c3). ? synchronous rectifier transistors q3 and q4 will see a significantly greater rms drain current at 20a output than at 14a. therefore, the use of lower r ds(on) parts such as siliconix si4420dy is required. ? the value of r1 may require adjustment, depending upon factors such as the specific mosfet type chosen for q3 and q4, and the required operating ambient temperature. in dealing with circuits handling greater than 50w, it is always important to pay attention to thermal issues. when the circuit of figure 1 is modified for >20a applicatons, a key consideration is that it be provided with adequate heatsinking. ideally, the system should provide 100 linear feet per minute (lfm) of airflow as specified in intels standards relating to vrms. micro linear does not recommend using the sense resistor method of overcurrent protection at high output current levels, as this does not provide the inherent thermal foldback of i out(max) which is obtained by directly sensing the v ds(on) of the rectifier mosfets.
ML4902 10 layout issues the two pins of the ML4902 which actually sense the current limit voltage are i sense and gnd. to facilitate the required low-level sensing of the voltage between these pins, there is no connection inside the ML4902 between gnd and pwr gnd. because of this, there must be an external connection between the ML4902 gnd and pwr gnd pins. pwr gnd must have a low impedance connection to the ground plane used on the board, as high instantaneous currents will flow in pwr gnd when n drv l and n drv h switch the capacitive loads of the output mosfet gates. at the same time, gnd must not see the resulting switching spikes. if a current sensing resistor is used, the voltage across the resistor must be kelvin-sensed. this ensures that the ML4902 monitors only the voltage across the resistor, and ignores the voltage drops and inductive transients in the pcb traces which carry current into and out of this resistor. the two pins of the ML4902 which must be kelvin-connected to the sense resistor are i sense and gnd. pwr gnd should then return to the to the grounded end of r sense as well, using a high current kelvin connection. this causes any noise across the resistor to appear primarily as a common-mode signal on i sense , gnd, and pwr gnd. figure 4 shows a recommended implementation of these pcb layout requirements. when directly monitoring the voltage across the channel of the synchronous rectifier, the voltage across that mosfet should be sensed as closely as possible to its drain. if a resistor divider is used to reduce the voltage at the i sense pin for a given current through (q3||q4)s channel resistance, then the lower end of the divider should be returned to the immediate vicinity of its source. this ensures that the ML4902 monitors only the voltage across the synchronous rectifier, and not the voltage drops or inductive transients in the pcb traces which carry current into and out of it. if a pc board with a dedicated ground plane is used (recommended), the best return points for gnd and pwr gnd are directly into the ground plane. if the board does not have a dedicated ground plane, gnd must be returned to a point near the ic which is relatively free from switching transients. such a point may need to be empirically determined but will usually be near the ground connection of the output capacitor bank. miscellaneous points i sense is the input to a medium-speed, high-sensitivity comparator (roughly comparable to an lm339-type comparator in terms of speed of response). because of the leading-edge blanking on this comparator, it has a substantial ability to reject switching noise. still, proper circuit function requires that the comparator not see significant noise at the time during which the synchronous rectifier mosfet is on. the compensation components r4 and c13 are high- impedance nodes connected to the output of the voltage loop error amplifier. these components should be kept in close proximity to the ML4902. c13 should be returned to gnd, not to pwr gnd or the ground plane of the pc board. keep the v ref bypass capacitor c8 close to the ML4902. ensure that its ground connection is to gnd, not to pwr gnd. the 12v v dd input is the supply from which the internal circuitry of the ML4902 operates. v dd also provides the gate drive for n drv h and n drv l. the v dd bypass capacitors c10 and c20 should be returned to pwr gnd or to the pc board ground plane. they should not be returned to gnd due to high transient currents which could interfere with the current sensing function. v cc is the input to the 5v undervoltage lockout comparator circuitry. the 5v uvlo function makes the start-up of the ML4902 independent of power sequencing. it also provides additonal overcurrent protection in case v cc should go below acceptable levels (current drawn from the bulk 5v supply will rise as the actual voltage of that supply decreases). to reject switching noise on the 5v input, an rc filter should be used between the 5v source and v cc . typical values for this filter are r2 = 1k w , and c11 = 220nf. optional capacitor c22 may be needed in some layouts to filter out glitches which could occur on the pwr good signal. in conjunction with the resistive pullup for the pwr good line, its value should yield an rc product of approximately 5s. in order to reduce circuit size, complexity, and cost, an all n-channel power mosfet output stage is employed. the gate drive voltage for both the sourcing and the rectifying mosfets is derived from the 12v input bus. this delivers at least 10v of v gs enhancement to the rectifier mosfet(s). the power sourcing mosfet(s), however, have a worst-case v gs enhancement of about 6v, and must therefore be logic-level parts. if a given design uses power mosfets in an 8 pin soic package style, keep in mind that the thermal dissipation capability of these parts is largely dictated by the copper area available to
