6 / 18 page 6 Oct 3-06 Rev L SP636 Synchronous Buck Controller © 2006 Sipex Corporation THEORY OF OPERATION The SP6136 contains two unique control features that are very powerful in distributed applications. First, non-synchronous driver control is enabled during start up to prohibit the low side NFET from pulling down the out- put until the high side NFET has attempted to turn on. Second, a 00% duty cycle timeout ensures that the low side NFET is periodically enhanced during extended periods at 00% duty cycle. This guarantees the synchronized refreshing of the BST capacitor during very large duty ratios. The SP636 also contains a number of valu- able protection features. A programmable input UVLO allows a user to set the exact value at which the conversion voltage is at a safe point to begin down conversion, and an internal VCC UVLO ensures that the controller itself has enough voltage to properly operate. Other protection features include thermal shutdown and short-circuit detection. In the event that either a thermal, short-circuit, or UVLO fault is detected, the SP636 is forced into an idle state where the output drivers are held off for a finite period before a re-start is attempted. Soft Start “Soft Start” is achieved when a power con- verter ramps up the output voltage while controlling the magnitude of the input sup- ply source current. In a modern step down converter, ramping up the non-inverting input of the error amplifier controls soft start. As a result, excess source current can be defined as the current required to charge the output capacitor IVIN, X = Cout • ΔVout ΔTSoft-start The SP636 provides the user with the op- tion to program the soft start rate by tying a capacitor from the SS pin to GND. The selection of this capacitor is based on the 0µA pull up current present at the SS pin and the 0.8V reference voltage. Therefore, the excess current source can be redefined as: IVIN, X = COUT • ΔVOUT • 0µA (CSS X 0.8V) Hiccup Upon the detection of a power, thermal, or short-circuit fault, the SP636 is forced into an idle state for a minimum of 200ms. The SS and COMP pins are immediately pulled low, and the gate drivers are held off for the duration of the timeout period. Power and thermal faults have to be removed before a restart may be attempted, whereas, a short- circuit fault is internally cleared shortly after the fault latch is set. Therefore, a restart at- tempt is guaranteed every 200ms (typical) as long as the short-circuit condition persists. A short-circuit detection comparator has also been included in the SP636 to protect against the accidental short or severe build up of current at the output of the power con- verter. This comparator constantly monitors the inputs to the error amplifier, and if the VFB pin ever falls more than 250mV (typical) below the voltage reference, a short-circuit fault is set. Because the SS pin overrides the internal 0.8V reference during soft start, the SP636 is capable of detecting short-circuit faults throughout the duration of soft start as well as in regular operation. Error Amplifier & Voltage Loop As stated before, the heart of the SP636 voltage error loop is a high performance, wide bandwidth transconductance ampli- fier. Because of the amplifier’s current limited (+00µA) transconductance, there are many ways to compensate the voltage loop or to control the COMP pin externally. If a simple, single pole, single zero response is required, then compensation can be as simple as an RC circuit to ground. If a more complex compensation is required, then the amplifier has enough bandwidth (45° at 4 |
