DETAILED OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
PWM Input with Tri-state Function
The PWM input receives the PWM control signal from the VR
controller IC. The PWM input is designed to be compatible
with standard controllers using two state logic (H and L) and
advanced controllers that incorporate tri-state logic (H, L
and tri-state) on the PWM output. For two state logic, the
PWM input operates as follows. When PWM is driven above
V
PWM_TH_R
the low side is turned OFF and the high side is
turned ON. When PWM input is driven below V
PWM_TH_F
the
high side is turned OFF and the low side is turned ON. For
tri-state logic, the PWM input operates as previously stated
for driving the MOSFETs when PWM is logic high and logic
low. However, there is a third state that is entered as the
PWM output of tri-state compatible controller enters its high
impedance state during shut-down. The high impedance
state of the controller’s PWM output allows the SiC639 and
SiC639A to pull the PWM input into the tri-state region (see
definition of PWM logic and Tri-State, fig. 4). If the PWM
input stays in this region for the Tri-state Hold-Off Period,
tTSHO, both high side and low side MOSFETs are turned
OFF. The function allows the VR phase to be disabled
without negative output voltage swing caused by inductor
ringing and saves a Schottky diode clamp. The PWM and
tri-state regions are separated by hysteresis to prevent false
triggering.
Disable (DSBL#)
In the low state, the DSBL# pin shuts down the driver IC
and disables both high-side and low side MOSFETs.
WhenDSBL# is low, the PWM resistor divider is also
disconnected. In this state, standby current is minimized. If
DSBL# is left unconnected, an internal pull-down resistor
will pull the pin to C
GND
and shut down the IC.
Diode Emulation Mode (ZCD_EN#)
When ZCD_EN# pin is driven below V
IL_ZCD_EN#
diode
emulation mode is enabled. If the PWM input is wi thin the
tri-state window for longer than the tri-state hold off time,
then the low side MOSFET is under control of the ZCD (zero
crossing detect) comparator. In this mode, the LS MOSFET
is turned off if the inductor current is < or = 0. Light load
efficiency is improved by avoiding discharge of output
capacitors. If ZCD_EN# is high, diode emulation mode is
disabled. In this mode if PWM enters tri-state, the device will
go into tri-state mode after tri-state delay and both the high
side and low side MOSFETs will be turned off.
Thermal Shutdown Warning (THWn)
The THWn pin is an open drain signal that flags the presence
of excessive junction temperature. Connect with a
maximum of 20 k, to V
CIN
. An internal temperature sensor
detects the junction temperature. The temperature
threshold is 160 °C. When this junction temperature is
exceeded the THWn flag is set. When the junction
temperature drops below 135 °C the device will clear the
THWn signal. The SiC639 and SiC639A do not stop
operation when the flag is set. The decision to shutdown
must be made by an external thermal control function.
Voltage Input (V
IN
)
This is the power input to the drain of the high side power
MOSFET. This pin is connected to the high power
intermediate BUS rail.
