THE PRODUCTS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND THIS DOCUMENT ARE SUBJECT TO SPECIFIC DISCLAIMERS, SET FORTH AT www.vishay.com/doc?91000 **SiC951** Vishay Siliconix www.vishay.com ## **OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION** ## **Device Overview** SiC951 is a high efficiency synchronous buck regulator capable of delivering up to 25 A continuous current. The device has programmable switching frequency of 300 kHz to 1.5 MHz. The control scheme delivers fast transient response and minimizes external components. Thanks to the internal current ramp information, no high ESR output bulk or virtual ESR network is required for the loop stability. This device also incorporates a power saving feature by enabling diode emulation mode and frequency fold back as the load decreases. In addition, a built in PLL allows in phase or 180° out of phase synchronization under master / slave configuration. SiC951 has a full set of protection and monitoring features with response that can be set with PMBus: - Over current protection in pulse-by-pulse mode - Output over voltage protection - Output under voltage protection - Over temperature protection with hysteresis - Dedicated enable pin for easy power sequencing - Power good open drain output This device is available in MLP59-A6C package to deliver high power density and minimize PCB area. ## **PWM Control Mechanism** SiC951 employs a voltage - mode COT control mechanism. During steady-state operation, feedback voltage is compared with internal reference and the amplified error signal (VCOMP) is generated in the internal comp node. An internally generated ramp signal and VCOMP are fed into a comparator. Once VRAMP crosses VCOMP, a single shot on-time pulse is generated for a fixed time, programmed by the external Rfsw. During the on-time pulse, the high side MOSFET will be turned on. Once the on-time pulse expires, the low side MOSFET will be turned on after a break-before-make period. The low side MOSFET will be on for duration of minimum off-time pulse until VRAMP crosses VCOMP. The cycle is then repeated. Fig. 4 illustrates the basic block diagram for VM-COT architecture. In this architecture the following is achieved: - The reference of a basic ripple control regulator is replaced with a high again error amplifier loop - This establishes two parallel voltage regulating feedback paths, a fast and slow path - Fast path is the ripple injection which ensures rapid correction of the transient perturbation **==> picture [236 x 140] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

## **Note** - **Control loop representation only, for simplicity remote sensing and output voltage setting not shown** All components for RAMP signal generation and error amplifier compensation required for the control loop are internal to the IC, see Fig. 4. In order for the device to cover a wide range of VOUT operation, the internal RAMP signal components (Rx, Cx, Cy) are automatically selected depending on the VOUT voltage and switching frequency. This method allows the RAMP amplitude to remain constant throughout the VOUT voltage range, achieving low jitter and fast transient response. The error amplifier internal compensation consists of a resistor in series with a capacitor (RCOMP, CCOMP). Fig. 5 demonstrates the basic operational waveforms: **==> picture [178 x 149] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

THE PRODUCTS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND THIS DOCUMENT ARE SUBJECT TO SPECIFIC DISCLAIMERS, SET FORTH AT www.vishay.com/doc?91000 **SiC951** www.vishay.com Vishay Siliconix ## **Light Load Condition** To improve efficiency at light-load condition, SiC951 provide a set of innovative implementations to eliminate LS recirculating current and switching losses. The internal zero crossing detector monitors SW node voltage to determine when inductor current starts to flow negatively. In power saving mode, as soon as inductor valley current crosses zero, the device deploys diode emulation mode by turning off low side MOSFET. If load further decreases, switching frequency is reduced proportional to load condition to save switching losses while keeping output ripple within tolerance. The switching frequency is set by the controller to maintain regulation. In the standard power save mode, there is no minimum switching frequency. If ultrasonic mode is selected via PMBus, the minimum switching frequency that the regulator will reduce to is > 20 kHz as the part avoids switching frequencies in the audible range. ## **Power Stage** SiC951 integrates a high performance power stage with a 4 mΩ n-channel high side MOSFET and a 1.4 mΩ n-channel low side MOSFET. The MOSFETs are optimized to achieve up to 96 % efficiency. The power input voltage (PVIN) can go up to 20 V and down as low as 4.5 V. The output voltage must always be less than the input voltage. ## **Sequencing of Input / Output Supplies** SiC951 has no sequencing requirements on any of its input / output, PVIN, PVCC, VIN, VDD and EN. ## **EN** The SiC951 has an EN pin to turn the part on and off. Driving this pin high enables the device, while grounding it turns it off. There are no sequencing requirements with respect to input / output supplies. ## **Output Over-Current Protection (OCP)** SiC951 has pulse-by-pulse over-current limit control. The inductor valley current is monitored during LS FET turn-on period through RDS(on) sensing. After a pre-defined blanking time, the valley current is compared with internal threshold to determine the over current limit threshold. This threshold can be programmed via PMBus. Default value is 30 A. If monitored current is higher than OCP threshold, HS turn-on pulse is skipped and LS FET is kept on until the valley current returns below OCP limit. If the OCP persists for more than 128 consecutive cycles, the device latches off and stays off until the fault is cleared. OCP is enabled immediately after VCC passes UVLO level. **==> picture [183 x 101] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

**Fig. 6 - Over-Current Protection Illustration** ## **Output Under-Voltage Protection (UVP)** UVP is implemented by monitoring the output voltage. If the output voltage drops below the target VOUT by more than 20 %, the UVP event is recognized and both HS and LS MOSFETs are turned off. The fault must be cleared before the device can be restarted. Other fault responses may be programmed via PMBus (see PMBus command section). UVP is only active after the completion of soft-start sequence. ## **Output Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)** For OVP implementation, output is monitored through FB pin. After soft start, if the voltage level at FB is above 15 %, OVP is triggered with both the HS and LS MOSFETs turned off. The part can be re-started by cycling the EN pin or PVIN supplies. OVP is active immediately after VCC passes UVLO level. ## **Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)** SiC951 has internal thermal monitor block that turns off both HS and LS FETs when junction temperature is above 125 °C. The default PMBus setting for an OTP condition is for the device to stay off until the fault is cleared. In case a retry is programmed via PMBus, a hysteresis of 35 °C is implemented, so when junction temperature drops below 90 °C, the device restarts by initiating soft-start sequence again. ## **Pre-Bias Start-Up** In case of pre-bias start up, output is monitored through FB pin. If the sensed voltage on FB is higher than the internal reference ramp value, control logic prevents HS and LS FET from switching to avoid negative output voltage spike and excessive current sinking through LS FET.

There are 3 modes of configuration via PMBus. 1. Master - Mode of operation: determined by PMBus. As a master, it sends its internal clock out onto the RT / SYNC pin - Operating frequency: frequency can either be the default frequency or programmed frequency via PMBus. If a part is designated as a master, switching frequency cannot be set using an external resistor. A clock signal will be sent via the RT / SYNC pin to the slave 2. Slave - Mode of operation: determined by PMBus. As a slave, the unit synchronizes its internal clock frequency either in phase or 180° out of phase as selected via the PMBus to the incoming clock applied at its RT / SYNC pin - Operating frequency: the slave switching frequency will synchronize to the external clock or to the master clock. In case the external clock or master clock signal is lost, the slave will operate at the default frequency or to the frequency programmed via the PMBus; see Fig. 8. The SiC951 has an RT / SYNC pin. This pin can be used to set the switching frequency and to send / receive a clock signal for synchronization between a master / slave. Connecting a resistor to ground will set the switching frequency according to the table listed below. If no resistor is connected to the RT / SYNC pin, the part will operate at the default frequency of 600 kHz. The default frequency as well as the frequency set by the external resistor, can be overridden by a PMBus command to a different operating frequency. S23-0736-Rev.

- Mode of operation: determined by PMBus. The unit is neither master nor slave. It does not drive the RT / SYNC pin and it ignores any clock on RT / SYNC pin. - Switching frequency: in standalone operation, the part will either operate at the default frequency of 600 kHz or at the frequency programmed by a resistor, both of which can be overridden by a PMBus command In order to configure the part as a master, slave or standalone operation, the interleave will be used. The interleave command data bytes include three pieces of information: 1. A group identification number (4 bits) 2. The number of units in the group (4 bits) 3. The interleave order for this particular unit (4 bits). This number ranges in value from zero to one less than the number of units in the group The group identification number allows for up to fifteen groups. Group Identification number 0 is reserved to mean not a member of an interleaved group. If the group identification number is 0, then the number of units in the group and the interleave order shall also be 0. |**BYTE**|**HIGH BYTE**|**HIGH BYTE**|**HIGH BYTE**|**HIGH BYTE**|**HIGH BYTE**|**HIGH BYTE**|**HIGH BYTE**|**HIGH BYTE**|**LOW BYTE**|**LOW BYTE**|**LOW BYTE**|**LOW BYTE**|**LOW BYTE**|**LOW BYTE**|**LOW BYTE**|**LOW BYTE**| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |Bit

A resistor may be connected between the ADDR and AGND pins to set an offset from the default pre-configured MFR base address in the memory. Up to 16 different offsets can be set allowing 16 SiC951 devices with unique addresses in a single system. This offset and therefore the device address is read by the ADC during the initialization sequence. The table below provides the resistor values needed to set the 16 offsets from the base address: A missing or shorted resistor results in the part turning on with the default PMBus settings and output voltage based on the VSET resistor. This allows for easy system debug. ## **Note** - The ADDR resistor will set the initial position of the MFR_BASE_ADDRESS (see PMBus command table) ## **WRITE** |**WRITE**|**WRITE**|**WRITE**|**WRITE**| |---|---|---|---| |**CONNECTION**|**ADDRESS**|**HEX**|**BIN**| |Short / open|0|1E|00011110| |0.845K|1|20|00100000| |1.3K|2|22|00100010| |1.78K|3|24|00100100| |2.32k|4|26|00100110| |2.87K|5|28|00101000| |3.48K|6|2A|00101010| |4.12K|7|2C|00101100| |4.75K|8|2E|00101110| |5.49K|9|30|00110000| |6.19K|10|32|00110010| |6.98K|11|34|00110100| |7.87K|12|36|00110110| |8.87K|13|38|00111000| |10K|14|3A|00111010| |11K|15|3C|00111100| ## **READ** |**READ**|**READ**|**READ**|**READ**| |---|---|---|---| |**CONNECTION**|**ADDRESS**|**HEX**|**BIN**| |Short / open|0|1F|00011111| |0.845K|1|21|00100001| |1.3K|2|23|00100011| |1.78K|3|25|00100101| |2.32k|4|27|00100111| |2.87K|5|29|00101001| |3.48K|6|2B|00101011| |4.12K|7|2D|00101101| |4.75K|8|2F|00101111| |5.49K|9|31|00110001| |6.19K|10|33|00110011| |6.98K|11|35|00110101| |7.87K|12|37|00110111| |8.87K|13|39|00111001| |10K|14|3B|00111011| |11K|15|3D|00111101| S23-0736-Rev.
