SC1405 High Speed Synchronous Power MOSFET Smart Driver POWER MANAGEMENT Description Features K Fast rise and fall times (15ns with 3000pf load) K 14ns max. Propagation delay (BG going with low) K Adaptive and programmable shoot-through The SC1405 is a Dual-MOSFET Driver with an internal Overlap Protection Circuit to prevent shoot-through. Each driver is capable of driving a 3000pF load in 15ns rise/ fall time and has ULTRA-LOW propagation delay from input transition to the gate of the power FETs. Adaptive Overlap Protection circuit ensures that the synchronous FET does not turn on until the top FET source has reached a voltage low enough to prevent shoot-through. The delay between the bottom gate going low to the top gate transitioning high is externally programmable via a capacitor to minimize dead time. The bottom FET may be disabled at light loads by keeping S_MOD low to trigger asynchronous operation, thus saving the bottom FETs gate drive current and inductor ripple current. An internal voltage reference allows threshold adjustment for an Output Over-Voltage protection circuitry, independent of the PWM controller. Under-Voltage-Lock-Out circuit is included to guarantee that both driver outputs are off when Vcc is less than or equal to 4.4V (typ) at supply ramp up (4.35V at supply ramp down). A CMOS output provides status indication of the 5V supply. A low enable input places the IC in standby mode, reducing supply current to less than 10A. SC1405 is offered in a high pitch (.025 lead spacing) TSSOP package.

A capacitor is connected between BST and DRN pins to develop the floating bootstrap voltage for the high-side MOSFET. The capacitor value is typically between 0.1F and 1F (ceramic). NOTE: (1) All logic level inputs and outputs are open collector TTL compatible. 2001 Semtech Corp. 6 www.semtech.com SC1405 POWER MANAGEMENT Block Diagram Applications Information SC1405 is designed to drive Low Rds_On power MOSFETs with ultra-low rise/fall times and propagation delays. As the switching frequency of PWM controllers is increased to reduce power supply and Class-D amplifier volume and cost, fast rise and fall times are necessary to minimize switching losses (TOP MOSFET) and reduce Dead-time (BOTTOM MOSFET) losses. While Low Rds_On MOSFETs present a power saving in I 2R losses, the MOSFETs die area is larger and thus the effective input capacitance of the MOSFET is increased. Often a 50% decrease in Rds_On more than doubles the effective input gate charge, which must be supplied by the driver. The Rds_On power savings can be offset by the switching and dead-time losses with a suboptimum driver. While discrete solution can achieve reasonable drive capability, implementing shoot-through, programmable delay and other housekeeping functions necessary for safe operation can become cumbersome and costly. The SC1405 family of parts presents a total solution for the highspeed, high power density =applications. Wide input supply range of 4.5V - 25V allows use in battery powered applications, new high voltage, distributed power servers as well as Class-D amplifiers. The shoot-through protection is implemented by holding the bottom FET off until the voltage at the phase node (intersection of top FET source, the output inductor and the bottom FET drain) has dropped below 1V. This assures that the top FET has turned off and that a direct current path does not exist between the input supply and ground, a condition which both the top and bottom FETs are on momentarily. The top FET is also prevented from turning on until the bottom FET is off. This time is internally set to 20ns (typical) and may be increased by adding a capacitor from the C-Delay pin to GND. The delay is approximately 1ns/pf in addition to the internal 20ns delay. The external capacitor may be needed if multiple High input capacitance MOSFETs are used in parallel and the fall time is substantially greater than 20ns. Theory of Operation As with any high speed , high current circuit, proper layout is critical in achieving optimum performance of the SC1405. The Evaluation board schematic (Refer to figure 3) shows a dual phase synchronous design with all surface mountable components. The control input (CO) to the SC1405 is typically supplied by a PWM controller that regulates the power supply output. (See Application Evaluation Schematic, Figure 3). The timing diagram demonstrates the sequence of events by which the top and bottom drive signals are applied. 2001 Semtech Corp. It must be noted that increasing the dead-time by high values of C-Delay capacitor will reduce efficiency since the parallel Schottky or the bottom FET body diode will have to conduct during dead-time. Layout Guidelines While components connecting to C-Delay, OVP_S, EN,S7 www.semtech.com SC1405 POWER MANAGEMENT Applications Information the Miller feedback and thus reduces Vspike. Also MOSFETs with higher Turn-on threshold voltages will conduct at a higher voltage and will not turn on during the spike. The MOSFET shown in the schematic (figure 4) has a 2 volt threshold and will require approximately 5 volts Vgs to be conducting, thus reducing the possibility of shoot-through. A zero ohm bottom FET gate resistor will obviously help keeping the gate voltage low. MOD, DSPS_DR and PRDY are relatively noncritical, tight placement and short, wide traces must be used in layout of The Drives, DRN, and especially PGND pin. The top gate driver supply voltage is provided by bootstrapping the +5V supply and adding it the phase node voltage (DRN). Since the bootstrap capacitor supplies the charge to the TOP gate, it must be less than .5 away from the SC1405. Ceramic X7R capacitors are a good choice for supply bypassing near the chip. The Vcc pin capacitor must also be less than .5 away from the SC1405. The ground node of this capacitor, the SC1405 PGND pin and the Source of the bottom FET must be very close to each other, preferably with common PCB copper land and multiple vias to the ground plane (if used). The parallel Schottky must be physically next to the Bottom FETS Drain and source. Any trace or lead inductance in these connections will drive current way from the Schottky and allow it to flow through the FETs Body diode, thus reducing efficiency. Ultimately, slowing down the top FET by adding gate resistance will reduce di/dt which will in turn make the effective impedance of the capacitors higher, thus allowing the BG driver to hold the bottom gate voltage low. Ringing on the Phase Node The top MOSFET source must be close to the bottom MOSFET drain to prevent ringing and the possibility of the phase node going negative. This frequency is determined by: 1 Fring = (2 * Sqrt(Lst*Coss)) Preventing Inadvertent Bottom FET Turn-on At high input voltages, (12V and greater) a fast turn-on of the top FET creates a positive going spike on the Bottom FETs gate through the Miller capacitance, Crss of the bottom FET. The voltage appearing on the gate due to this spike is: Where: Lst = The effective stray inductance of the top FET added to trace inductance of the connection between top FETs source and the bottom FETs drain added to the trace resistance of the bottom FETs ground connection. Vspike= Vin*crss (Crass+ciss) Coss=Drain to source capacitance of bottom FET. If there is a Schottky used, the capacitance of the Schottky is added to the value. Where Ciss is the input gate capacitance of the bottom FET. This is assuming that the impedance of the drive path is too high compared to the instantaneous impedance of the capacitors. (since dV/dT and thus the effective frequency is very high). If the BG pin of the SC1405 is very close to the bottom FET, Vspike will be reduced depending on trace inductance, rate if rise of current, etc. Although this ringing does not pose any power losses due to a fairly high Q, it could cause the phase node to go too far negative, thus causing improper operation, double pulsing or at worst driver damage. This ringing is also an EMI nuisance due to its high resonant frequency. Adding a capacitor, typically 1000-2000pf, in parallel with Coss can often eliminate the EMI issue. If double pulsing is caused due to excessive ringing, placing 4.7-10 ohm resistor between the phase node and the DRN pin of the SC1405 should eliminate the double pulsing. While not shown in Figure 4, a capacitor may be added from the gate of the Bottom FET to its source, preferably less than .5 away. This capacitor will be added to Ciss in the above equation to reduce the effective spike voltage, Vspike. The negative voltage spikes on the phase node adds to the bootstrap capacitor voltage, thus increasing the voltage between VBST - VDRN. If the phase node negative The selection of the bottom MOSFET must be done with attention paid to the Crss/Ciss ratio. A low ratio reduces 2001 Semtech Corp. 8 www.semtech.com SC1405 POWER MANAGEMENT Applications Information (Cont.) spikes are too large, the voltage on the boost capacitor could exceed devices absolute maximum rating of 7V. To eliminate the effect of the ringing on the boost capacitor voltage, place a 4.7 - 10 ohm resistor between boost Schottky diode and Vcc to filter the negative spikes on DRN Pin. Alternately, a Silicon diode, such as the commonly available 1N4148 can substitute for the Schottky diode and eliminate the need for the series resistor. Proper layout will guarantee minimum ringing and eliminate the need for external components. Use of SO-8 or other surface mount MOSFETs will reduce lead inductance and their parasitic effects. ASYNCHRONOUS OPERATION The SC1405 can be configured to operate in Asynchronous mode by pulling S-MOD to logic LOW, thus disabling the bottom FET drive. This has the effect of saving power at light loads since the bottom FETs gate capacitance does not have to charged at the switching frequency. There can be a significant savings since the bottom driver can supply up to 2A pulses to the FET at the switching frequency. There is an additional efficiency benefit to operating in asynchronous mode. When operating in synchronous mode, the inductor current can go negative 2001 Semtech Corp. and flow in reverse direction when the bottom FET is on and the DC load is less than 1/2 inductor ripple current. At that point, the inductor core and wire losses, depending on the magnitude of the ripple current, can be quite significant. Operating in asynchronous mode at light loads effectively only charges the inductor by as much as needed to supply the load current, since the inductor never completely discharges at light loads. DC regulation can be an issue when operating in asynchronous mode, depending on the type of controller used and minimum load required to maintain regulation. If there are no Shottkey diodes used in parallel with bottom FET, the FETs body diode will need to conduct in asynchronous mode. The high voltage drop of this diode must be considered when determining the criteria for this mode of operation. DSPS DR This pin produces an output which is a logical duplicate of the bottom FETs gate drive, if S-MOD is held LOW. OVP_S/OVER TEMP SHUTDOWN Output over-voltage protection may be implemented on the SC1405 independent of the PWM controller . A voltage divider from the output is compared with the internal bandgap voltage of 1.2V (typical). Upon exceeding this voltage, the overvoltage comparator disables the top FET, while turning on the bottom FET to allow discharge of the output capacitors excessive voltage through the output inductor. There should be sufficient RC time constant as well as voltage headroom on the OVP_S pin to assure it does not enter overvoltage mode inadvertently. The SC1405 will shutdown if its TJ exceeds 165C. 9 www.semtech.com SC1405 POWER MANAGEMENT Typical Characteristics Performance diagrams, Application Evaluation Board.
