`FAN5026
`Dual DDR/Dual-Output PWM Controller
`
`October 2005
`
`FAN5026 Dual DDR/Dual-Output PWM Controller
`
`General Description
`The FAN5026 PWM controller provides high efficiency
`and regulation for two output voltages adjustable in the
`range from 0.9V to 5.5V that are required to power I/O,
`chip-sets, and memory banks in high-performance com-
`puters, set top boxes, and VGA cards. Synchronous rec-
`tification contributes to high efficiency over a wide range
`of loads. Efficiency is even further enhanced by using
`MOSFET’s R
` as a current sense component.
`DS(ON)
`Feed-forward ramp modulation, average current mode
`control scheme, and internal feedback compensation
`provide fast response to load transients. Out-of-phase
`operation with 180° phase shift reduces input current
` ripple. The controller can be transformed into a com-
`plete DDR memory power supply solution by activating a
`designated pin. In DDR mode of operation one of the
`channels tracks the output voltage of another channel
`and provides output current sink and source capability —
`features essential for proper powering of DDR chips. The
`buffered reference voltage required by this type of mem-
`ory is also provided. The FAN5026 monitors these out-
`puts and generates separate PGx (power good) signals
`when the soft-start is completed and the output is within
`±10% of its set point. A built-in over-voltage protection
`prevents the output voltage from going above 120% of
`the set point. Normal operation is automatically restored
`when the over-voltage conditions go away. Under-volt-
`age protection latches the chip off when either output
`drops below 75% of its set value after the soft-start
`sequence for this output is completed. An adjustable
`over-current function monitors the output current by
`sensing the voltage drop across the lower MOSFET. If
`precision current-sensing is required, an external cur-
`rent-sense resistor may optionally be used.

`regulator after a latched fault condition. These are CMOS inputs whose state is
`indeterminate if left open.
`
`Ground. These pins should be tied to AGND for proper operation.
`
`Output Voltage Sense. The feedback from the outputs. Used for regulation as well as
`
`PG, under-voltage and over-voltage protection and monitoring.
`
`Current Limit 1. A resistor from this pin to GND sets the current limit.

`
`Pin Function Description
`
`
`DDR Mode Control. High = DDR mode. Low = 2 separate regulators operating 180° out
`of phase.
`Input Voltage. Normally connected to battery, provides voltage feed-forward to set the
`
`amplitude of the internal oscillator ramp. When using the IC for 2-step conversion from 5V
`input, connect through 100K to ground, which will set the appropriate ramp gain and
`synchronize the channels 90° out of phase.
`
`Power Good Flag. An open-drain output that will pull LOW when VSEN is outside of a
`±10% range of the 0.9V reference.
`
`Power Good 2. When not in DDR Mode: Open-drain output that pulls LOW when the
`VOUT is out of regulation or in a fault condition
`
`Reference Out 2. When in DDR Mode, provides a buffered output of REF2. Typically
`
`used as the VDDQ/2 reference.
`
`Current Limit 2. When not in DDR Mode, A resistor from this pin to GND sets the current
`limit.
`Reference for reg #2 when in DDR Mode. Typically set to VOUT1/2.
`
`
`
`VCC. This pin powers the chip as well as the LDRV buffers. The IC starts to operate
`when voltage on this pin exceeds 4.6V (UVLO rising) and shuts down when it drops
`below 4.3V (UVLO falling).
`
`Absolute Maximum Ratings
`Absolute maximum ratings are the values beyond which the device may be damaged or have its useful life impaired.
`Functional operation under these conditions is not implied.

`FAN5026 Dual DDR/Dual-Output PWM Controller
`
`Circuit Description
`Overview
`The FAN5026 is a multi-mode, dual channel PWM con-
`troller intended for graphic chipset, SDRAM, DDR DRAM
`or other low output voltage power applications in PC’s,
`VGA Cards and set top boxes. The IC integrates a con-
`trol circuitry for two synchronous buck converters. The
`output voltage of each controller can be set in the range
`of 0.9V to 5.5V by an external resistor divider.
`
`The two synchronous buck converters can operate from
`either an unregulated DC source (such as a notebook
`battery) with voltage ranging from 5.0V to 16V, or from a
`regulated system rail of 3.3V to 5V. In either mode of
`operation the IC is biased from a +5V source. The PWM
`modulators use an average current mode control with
`input voltage feed-forward for simplified feedback loop
`compensation and improved line regulation. Both PWM
`controllers have integrated feedback loop compen-
`sation that dramatically reduces the number of external
`components.
`
`The FAN5026 can be configured to operate as a com-
`plete DDR solution. When the DDR pin is set high, the
`second channel can provide the capability to track the
`output voltage of the first channel. The PWM2 converter
`is prevented from going into hysteretic mode if the DDR
`pin is set high. In DDR mode, a buffered reference volt-
`age (buffered voltage of the REF2 pin), required by DDR
`memory chips, is provided by the PG2 pin.

`
`When used as a dual converter (as in Figure 5), out-of-
`phase operation with 180 degree phase shift reduces
`input current ripple.
`
`For the “2-step” conversion (where the VTT is converted
`from VDDQ as in Figure 4) used in DDR mode, the duty
`cycle of the second converter is nominally 50% and the
`optimal phasing depends on VIN. The objective is to
`keep noise generated from the switching transition in one
`converter from influencing the “decision” to switch in the
`other converter.
`
`When VIN is from the battery, it’s typically higher than
`7.5V. As shown in Figure 6, 180° operation is undesir-
`able since the turn-on of the VDDQ converter occurs
`very near the decision point of the VTT converter.

`In-phase operation is optimal to reduce inter-converter
`interference when VIN is higher than 5V, (when VIN is
`from a battery), as can be seen in Figure 7. Since the
`duty cycle of PWM1 (generating VDDQ) is short, its
`switching point occurs far away from the decision point
`for the VTT regulator, whose duty cycle is nominally 50%.

`Figure 7. Optimal In-Phase Operation for DDR1
`When VIN ≈ 5V, 180° phase shifted operation can be
`rejected for the same reasons demonstrated Figure 6.
`In-phase operation with VIN ≈ 5V is even worse, since
`the switch point of either converter occurs near the
`switch point of the other converter as seen in Figure 8. In
`this case, as VIN is a little higher than 5V it will tend to
`cause early termination of the VTT pulse width. Con-
`versely, VTT’s switch point can cause early termination
`of the VDDQ pulse width when VIN is slightly lower than
`5V.

`These problems are nicely solved by delaying the 2nd
`converter's clock by 90° as shown in Figure 9. In this
`way, all switching transitions in one converter take place
`far away from the decision points of the other converter.

`
`Current Processing Section
`The following discussion refers to Figure 10.
`The current through RSENSE resistor (ISNS) is sampled
`shortly after Q2 is turned on. That current is held, and
`summed with the output of the error amplifier. This effec-
`tively creates a current mode control loop. The resistor
`connected to ISNSx pin (RSENSE) sets the gain in the
`current feedback loop. For stable operation, the voltage
`induced by the current feedback at the PWM comparator
`input should be set to 30% of the ramp amplitude at
`maximum load current and line voltage. The following
`expression estimates the recommended value of RSENSE
`as a function of the maximum load current (ILOAD(MAX))
`and the value of the MOSFET’s RDS(ON):

`
`Initialization and Soft Start
`Assuming EN is high, FAN5026 is initialized when VCC
`exceeds the rising UVLO threshold. Should VCC drop
`below the UVLO threshold, an internal Power-On Reset
`function disables the chip.
`
`The voltage at the positive input of the error amplifier is
`limited by the voltage at the SS pin which is charged with
`a 5µA current source. Once CSS has charged to VREF
`(0.9V) the output voltage will be in regulation. The time it
`takes SS to reach 0.9V is:

`T0.9

`
`where T0.9 is in seconds if CSS is in µF.
`When SS reaches 1.5V, the Power Good outputs are
`enabled and hysteretic mode is allowed. The converter is
`forced into PWM mode during soft start.

`
`Gate Driver Section
`The adaptive gate control logic translates the internal
`PWM control signal into the MOSFET gate drive signals
`providing necessary amplification, level shifting and
`shoot-through protection. Also, it has functions that help
`optimize the IC performance over a wide range of oper-
`ating conditions. Since MOSFET switching time can vary
`dramatically from type to type and with the input voltage,
`the gate control logic provides adaptive dead time by
`monitoring the gate-to-source voltages of both upper and
`lower MOSFETs. The lower MOSFET drive is not turned
`on until the gate-to-source voltage of the upper MOSFET
`has decreased to less than approximately 1 volt. Simi-
`larly, the upper MOSFET is not turned on until the gate-
`to-source voltage of the lower MOSFET has decreased
`to less than approximately 1 volt. This allows a wide vari-
`ety of upper and lower MOSFETs to be used without a
`concern for simultaneous conduction, or shoot-through.
`
`There must be a low-resistance, low-inductance path
`between the driver pin and the MOSFET gate for the
`adaptive dead-time circuit to work properly. Any delay
`along that path will subtract from the delay generated by
`the adaptive dead-time circuit and shoot-through may
`occur.
`
`Frequency Loop Compensation
`Due to the implemented current mode control, the modu-
`lator has a single pole response with -1 slope at fre-
`quency determined by load
`

`
`FPO
`

`------------------------
`2πROCO
`where RO is load resistance and CO is load capacitance.
`For this type of modulator, Type 2 compensation circuit is
`usually sufficient. To reduce the number of external com-
`ponents and simplify the design task, the PWM controller
`has an internally compensated error amplifier. Figure 12
`shows a Type 2 amplifier and its response along with the
`responses of a current mode modulator and of the con-
`verter. The Type 2 amplifier, in addition to the pole at the
`origin, has a zero-pole pair that causes a flat gain region
`at frequencies between the zero and the pole.
`
`Setting the Current Limit
`A ratio of ISNS is also compared to the current
`established when a 0.9 V internal reference drives the
`ILIM pin. The threshold is determined at the point when
`ILIM 4×

`
`Since the tolerance on the current limit is largely depen-
`dent on the ratio of the external resistors, it is fairly accu-
`rate if the voltage drop on the Switching Node side of
`RSENSE is an accurate representation of the load current.
`When using the MOSFET as the sensing element, the
`variation of RDS(ON) causes proportional variation in the
`ISNS. This value not only varies from device to device,
`but also has a typical junction temperature coefficient of
`about 0.4%/°C (consult the MOSFET datasheet for
`actual values), so the actual current limit set point will
`decrease proportional to increasing MOSFET die tem-
`perature. A factor of 1.6 in the current limit setpoint
`should compensate for all MOSFET RDS(ON) variations,
`assuming the MOSFET’s heat sinking will keep its oper-
`ating die temperature below 125°C.

`Figure 11. Improving Current Sensing Accuracy
`More accurate sensing can be achieved by using a resis-
`tor (R1) instead of the RDS(ON) of the FET as shown in
`Figure 11. This approach causes higher losses, but
`yields greater accuracy in both VDROOP and ILIMIT. R1 is
`a low value (e.g. 10mΩ) resistor.
`Current limit (ILIMIT) should be set sufficiently high as to
`allow inductor current to rise in response to an output
`load transient. Typically, a factor of 1.3 is sufficient. In
`addition, since ILIMIT is a peak current cut-off value, we
`will need to multiply ILOAD(MAX) by the inductor ripple cur-
`rent (we'll use 25%). For example, in Figure 5 the target
`for ILIMIT would be:
`ILIMIT > 1.2 × 1.25 × 1.6 × 6A ≈ 14A

`
`This region is also associated with phase ‘bump’ or
`reduced phase shift. The amount of phase shift reduction
`depends the width of the region of flat gain and has a
`maximum value of 90 degrees. To further simplify the
`converter compensation, the modulator gain is kept inde-
`pendent of the input voltage variation by providing feed-
`forward of VIN to the oscillator ramp.

`
`Protection
`The converter output is monitored and protected against
`extreme overload, short circuit, over-voltage and under-
`voltage conditions.
`
`A sustained overload on an output sets the PGx pin low
`and latches-off the whole chip. Operation can be
`restored by cycling the VCC voltage or by toggling the
`EN pin.
`
`If VOUT drops below the under-voltage threshold, the
`chip shuts down immediately.
`
`Over-Current Sensing
`If the circuit’s current limit signal (“ILIM det” as shown in
`Figure 10) is high at the beginning of a clock cycle, a
`pulse-skipping circuit is activated and HDRV is inhibited.
`The circuit continues to pulse skip in this manner for the
`next 8 clock cycles. If at any time from the 9th to the 16th
`clock cycle, the “ILIM det” is again reached, the over-
`current protection latch is set, disabling the chip. If “ILIM
`det” does not occur between cycle 9 and 16, normal oper-
`ation is restored and the over-current circuit resets itself.

`Over-Voltage / Under-Voltage Protection
`Should the VSNS voltage exceed 120% of VREF (0.9V)
`due to an upper MOSFET failure, or for other reasons,
`the overvoltage protection comparator will force LDRV
`high. This action actively pulls down the output voltage
`and, in the event of the upper MOSFET failure, will even-
`tually blow the battery fuse. As soon as the output volt-
`age drops below the threshold, the OVP comparator is
`disengaged.
`
`This OVP scheme provides a ‘soft’ crowbar function
`which helps to tackle severe load transients and does
`not invert the output voltage when activated — a com-
`mon problem for latched OVP schemes.

`Figure 12. Compensation
`The zero frequency, the amplifier high frequency gain
`and the modulator gain are chosen to satisfy most typical
`applications. The crossover frequency will appear at the
`point where the modulator attenuation equals the ampli-
`fier high frequency gain. The only task that the system
`designer has to complete is to specify the output filter
`capacitors to position the load main pole somewhere
`within one decade lower than the amplifier zero fre-
`quency. With this type of compensation plenty of phase
`margin is easily achieved due to zero-pole pair phase
`‘boost’.
`
`Conditional stability may occur only when the main load
`pole is positioned too much to the left side on the fre-
`quency axis due to excessive output filter capacitance. In
`this case, the ESR zero placed within the 10kHz...50kHz
`range gives some additional phase ‘boost’. Fortunately,
`there is an opposite trend in mobile applications to keep
`the output capacitor as small as possible.
`
`If a larger inductor value or low ESR values are called for
`by the application, additional phase margin can be
`achieved by putting a zero at the LC crossover fre-
`quency. This can be achieved with a capacitor across the
`feedback resistor (e.g. R5 from Figure 5) as shown
`below.

`
`Similarly, if an output short-circuit or severe load tran-
`sient causes the output to droop to less than 75% of its
`regulation set point. Should this condition occur, the reg-
`ulator will shut down.
`
`Over-Temperature Protection
`The chip incorporates an over temperature protection
`circuit that shuts the chip down when a die temperature
`of about 150°C is reached. Normal operation is restored
`at die temperature below 125°C with internal Power On
`Reset asserted, resulting in a full soft-start cycle.
`
`Design and Component Selection
`Guidelines
`As an initial step, define operating input voltage range,
`output voltage, minimum and maximum load currents for
`the controller.
`
`Setting the Output Voltage
`The internal reference is 0.9V. The output is divided
`down by a voltage divider to the VSEN pin (for example,
`R5 and R6 in Figure 4). The output voltage therefore is:
`
`0.9V
`------------
`R6
`
`=
`
`VOUT 0.9V
`–
`---------------------------------
`R5
`
`(8a)
`
`To minimize noise pickup on this node, keep the resistor
`to GND (R6) below 2K. We selected R6 at 1.82K. Then
`choose R5:
`
`where ∆I is the inductor ripple current and ∆VOUT is the
`maximum ripple allowed.
`
`L

`
`VIN VOUT
`–

`∆I×

`
`VOUT

`(10)
`
`for this example we’ll use:
`VIN = 12V, VOUT = 2.5V
`∆I = 25% × 6A = 1.5A
`FSW = 300KHz.
`therefore
`L ≈ 4.4µH
`Output Capacitor Selection
`The output capacitor serves two major functions in a
`switching power supply. Along with the inductor it filters
`the sequence of pulses produced by the switcher, and it
`supplies the load transient currents. The output capacitor
`requirements are usually dictated by ESR, Inductor rip-
`ple current (∆I) and the allowable ripple voltage (∆V).

`
`In addition, the capacitor’s ESR must be low enough to
`allow the converter to stay in regulation during a load
`step. The ripple voltage due to ESR for the converter in
`Figure 5 is 120mV P-P. Some additional ripple will
`appear due to the capacitance value itself:

`
`For DDR applications converting from 3.3V to 2.5V, or
`other applications requiring high duty cycles, the duty
`cycle clamp must be disabled by tying the converter’s
`FPWM to GND. When converter’s FPWM is GND, the
`converter's maximum duty cycle will be greater than
`90%. When using as a DDR converter with 3.3V input,
`set up the converter for In-Phase synchronization by
`tying the VIN pin to +5V.
`
`which is only about 1.5mV for the converter in Figure 5
`and can be ignored.
`
`The capacitor must also be rated to withstand the RMS
`current which is approximately 0.3 X (∆I), or about
`400mA for the converter in Figure 5. High frequency
`decoupling capacitors should be placed as close to the
`loads as physically possible.
`
`Input Capacitor Selection
`The input capacitor should be selected by its ripple cur-
`rent rating.
`
`Two-Stage Converter Case
`In DDR mode (Figure 4), the VTT power input is powered
`by the VDDQ output, therefore all of the input capacitor
`ripple current is produced by the VDDQ converter. A con-
`servative estimate of the output current required for the
`2.5V regulator is:

`
`Output Inductor Selection
`The minimum practical output inductor value is the one
`that keeps inductor current just on the boundary of con-
`tinuous conduction at some minimum load. The industry
`standard practice is to choose the minimum current
`somewhere from 15% to 35% of the nominal current. At
`light load, the controller can automatically switch to hys-
`teretic mode of operation to sustain high efficiency. The
`following equations help to choose the proper value of
`the output filter inductor.
