GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
loop has been optimized for conversion from 12 V, while the  
ADP3167 is designed for conversion from a 5 V supply.  
The ADP3160 and ADP3167 are highly efficient, dual output,  
synchronous buck switching regulator controllers optimized for  
converting a 5 V or 12 V main supply into the core supply voltage  
required by high-performance processors, such as Pentium 4 and  
Athlon. The ADP3160 uses an internal 5-bit DAC to read a volt-  
age identification (VID) code directly from the processor that is  
used to set the output voltage between 1.1 V and 1.85 V. The  
devices use a current-mode PWM architecture to drive two logic-  
level outputs at a programmable switching frequency that can be  
optimized for VRM size and efficiency. The output signals are  
180 degrees out of phase, allowing for the construction of two  
complementary buck switching stages. These two stages share the  
dc output current to reduce overall output voltage ripple. An  
active current balancing function ensures that both phases carry  
equal portions of the total load current, even under large transient  
loads, to minimize the size of the inductors. The ADP3160 control  
The ADP3160 and ADP3167 also use a unique supplemental  
regulation technique called active voltage positioning to enhance  
load transient performance. Active voltage positioning results  
in a dc/dc converter that meets the stringent output voltage  
specifications for high-performance processors, with the minimum  
number of output capacitors and smallest footprint. Unlike  
voltage-mode and standard current-mode architectures, active  
voltage positioning adjusts the output voltage as a function of  
the load current so that it is always optimally positioned for a  
system transient. They also provide accurate and reliable short  
circuit protection and adjustable current limiting.  
The ADP3160 is specified over the commercial temperature  
range of 0C to 70C and is available in a 16-lead narrow body  
SOIC package.

THEORY OF OPERATION  
Active Voltage Positioning  
The ADP3160 and ADP3167 combine a current-mode, fixed  
frequency PWM controller with antiphase logic outputs in a  
controller for a 2-phase synchronous buck power converter.  
Two-phase operation is important for switching the high currents  
required by high-performance microprocessors. Handling the  
high current in a single-phase converter would place difficult  
requirements on the power components such as inductor wire  
size, MOSFET ON resistance, and thermal dissipation. Their  
high-side current sensing topology ensures that the load currents  
are balanced in each phase, such that neither phase has to carry  
more than half of the power. An additional benefit of high-side  
current sensing over output current sensing is that the average  
current through the sense resistor is reduced by the duty cycle  
of the converter, allowing the use of a lower power, lower cost  
resistor. The outputs of the ADP3160/ADP3167 are logic  
drivers only and are not intended to drive external power  
MOSFETs directly. Instead, the ADP3160/ADP3167 should  
The ADP3160 and ADP3167 use Analog Devices Optimal  
Positioning Technology (ADOPT), a unique supplemental  
regulation technique that uses active voltage positioning and  
provides optimal compensation for load transients. When imple-  
mented, ADOPT adjusts the output voltage as a function of the  
load current, so that it is always optimally positioned for a load  
transient. Standard (passive) voltage positioning has poor dynamic  
performance, rendering it ineffective under the stringent repetitive  
transient conditions required by high-performance processors.  
ADOPT, however, provides optimal bandwidth for transient  
response that yields optimal load transient response with the  
minimum number of output capacitors.  
Reference Output  
A 3.0 V reference is available and is commonly used to set the  
voltage positioning accurately using a resistor divider to the  
COMP pin. In addition, the reference can be used for other  
functions such as generating a regulated voltage with an external  
amplifier. The reference is bypassed with a 1 nF capacitor to  
ground. It is not intended to supply current to large capacitive  
loads, and it should not be used to provide more than 1 mA of  
output current.  
be paired with drivers such as the ADP3414 or ADP3417.  
A
system level block diagram of a 2-phase power supply for high  
current CPUs is shown in Figure 5.  
The frequency of the device is set by an external capacitor  
connected to the CT pin. Each output phase operates at half of  
the frequency set by the CT pin. The error amplifier and  
current sense comparator control the duty cycle of the PWM  
outputs to maintain regulation. The maximum duty cycle per  
phase is inherently limited to 50% because the PWM outputs  
toggle in 2-phase operation. While one phase is on, the other  
phase is off. In no case can both outputs be high at the same time.  
Cycle-by-Cycle Operation  
During normal operation (when the output voltage is regulated), the  
voltage-error amplifier and the current comparator are the main  
control elements. The voltage at the CT pin of the oscillator ramps  
between 0 V and 3 V. When that voltage reaches 3 V, the oscillator  
sets the driver logic, which sets PWM1 high. During the ON time  
of Phase 1, the driver IC turns on the high-side MOSFET. The CS+  
and CS– pins monitor the current through the sense resistor that  
feeds both high-side MOSFETs. When the voltage between the  
two pins exceeds the threshold level set by the voltage error ampli-  
fier (gm), the driver logic is reset and the PWM output goes low.  
This signals the driver IC to turn off the high-side MOSFET and  
turn on the low-side MOSFET. On the next cycle of the oscillator,  
the driver logic toggles and sets PWM2 high. On each following  
cycle of the oscillator, the outputs toggle between PWM1 and  
PWM2. In each case, the current comparator resets the PWM  
output low when the current comparator threshold is reached. As  
the load current increases, the output voltage starts to decrease.  
This causes an increase in the output of the gm amplifier, which in  
turn leads to an increase in the current comparator threshold,  
thus programming more current to be delivered to the output so  
that voltage regulation is maintained.  
Output Voltage Sensing  
The output voltage is sensed at the FB pin allowing for remote  
sensing. To maintain the accuracy of the remote sensing, the  
GND pin should also be connected close to the load. A voltage  
error amplifier (gm) amplifies the difference between the output  
voltage and a programmable reference voltage. The reference volt-  
age is programmed between 1.1 V and 1.85 V by an internal 5-bit  
DAC that reads the code at the voltage identification (VID) pins.  
Refer to Table I for the output voltage versus VID pin code

ADP3160/ADP3167  
Active Current Sharing  
When the load current exceeds the current limit, the excess current  
discharges the output capacitor. When the output voltage is  
below the foldback threshold VFB(LOW), the maximum deliverable  
output current is cut by reducing the current sense threshold  
from the current limit threshold, VCS(CL), to the foldback thresh-  
old, VCS(FOLD). Along with the resulting current foldback, the  
oscillator frequency is reduced by a factor of 5 when the output is  
0 V. This further reduces the average current in short circuit.  
The ADP3160 and ADP3167 ensure current balance in the two  
phases by actively sensing the current through a single sense resistor.  
During one phase’s ON time, the current through the respective  
high-side MOSFET and inductor is measured through the sense  
resistor (R4 in Figure 6). When the comparator (CMP1 in the  
Functional Block Diagram) threshold programmed by the gm ampli-  
fier is reached, the high-side MOSFET turns off. In the next cycle,  
the device switches to the second phase. The current is measured  
with the same sense resistor and the same internal comparator,  
ensuring accurate matching. This scheme is immune to imbalances  
in the MOSFETs’ RDS(ON) and inductors’ parasitic resistances.  
Power Good Monitoring  
The Power Good comparator monitors the output voltage of the  
supply via the FB pin. The PWRGD pin is an open-drain output  
whose high level (when connected to a pull-up resistor) indicates  
that the output voltage is within the specified range of the nomi-  
nal output voltage requested by the VID DAC. PWRGD will go  
low if the output is outside this range.  
If for some reason one of the phases fails, the other phase will  
still be limited to its maximum output current (one-half of the  
short circuit current limit). If this is not sufficient to supply the  
load, the output voltage will droop and cause the PWRGD  
output to signal that the output voltage has fallen out of its  
specified range.  
Output Crowbar  
The ADP3160 and ADP3167 include a crowbar comparator that  
senses when the output voltage rises higher than the specified trip  
threshold, VCROWBAR. This comparator overrides the control loop  
and sets both PWM outputs low. The driver ICs turn off the  
high-side MOSFETs and turn on the low-side MOSFETs, thus  
pulling the output down as the reversed current builds up in the  
inductors. If the output overvoltage is due to a short of the high-  
side MOSFET, this action will current limit the input supply or  
blow its fuse, protecting the microprocessor from destruction.  
The crowbar comparator releases when the output drops below the  
specified reset threshold, and the controller returns to normal  
operation if the cause of the overvoltage failure does not persist.  
Short Circuit Protection  
The ADP3160 and ADP3167 have multiple levels of short  
circuit protection to ensure fail-safe operation. The sense resis-  
tor and the maximum current sense threshold voltage given in  
the specifications set the peak current limit.

Output Disable  
The ADP3160 and ADP3167 include an output disable function  
that turns off the control loop to bring the output voltage to 0 V.  
Because an extra pin is not available, the disable feature is accom-  
plished by pulling the COMP pin to ground. When the COMP pin  
drops below 0.56 V for the ADP3160 and 0.64 V for the ADP3167,  
the oscillator stops and both PWM signals are driven low. This  
function does not place the part in a low quiescent current shut-  
down state, and the reference voltage is still available. The COMP  
pin should be pulled down with an open collector or open-drain  
type of output capable of sinking at least 2 mA.

CT Selection—Choosing the Clock Frequency  
The ADP3160 and ADP3167 use a fixed-frequency control archi-  
tecture. The frequency is set by an external timing capacitor, CT.  
The value of CT for a given clock frequency can be selected using  
the graph in Figure 2.

For 12.5 A peak-to-peak ripple current, which corresponds to  
just under 50% of the 26.7 A full-load dc current in an induc-  
tor, Equation 1 yields an inductance of:  
The clock frequency determines the switching frequency, which  
relates directly to switching losses and the sizes of the inductors  
and input and output capacitors. A clock frequency of 400 kHz  
sets the switching frequency of each phase, fSW, to 200 kHz, which  
represents a practical trade-off between the switching losses and  
the sizes of the output filter components. From Figure 2, for 400 kHz  
the required timing capacitor value is 150 pF. For good frequency  
stability and initial accuracy, it is recommended to use a capacitor  
with a low temperature coefficient and tight tolerance, e.g., an  
MLC capacitor with NPO dielectric and with 5% or less tolerance.

L =

A 600 nH inductor can be used, which gives a calculated ripple  
current of 12.2 A at no load. The inductor should not saturate  
at the peak current of 32.8 A and should be able to handle the  
sum of the power dissipation caused by the average current of  
26.7 A in the winding and the core loss.  
The output ripple current is smaller than the inductor ripple  
current due to the two phases partially canceling. This can be  
calculated as follows:  
Inductance Selection  
The choice of inductance determines the ripple current in the  
inductor. Less inductance leads to more ripple current, which  
increases the output ripple voltage and the conduction losses in  
the MOSFETs, but allows using smaller size inductors and, for  
a specified peak-to-peak transient deviation, output capacitors  
with less total capacitance. Conversely, a higher inductance  
means lower ripple current and reduced conduction losses,  
but requires larger size inductors and more output capacitance  
for the same peak-to-peak transient deviation. In a 2-phase  
converter a practical value for the peak-to-peak inductor ripple  
current is under 50% of the dc current in the same inductor.  
A choice of 46% for this particular design example yields a total  
peak-to-peak output ripple current of 23% of the total dc output  
current. The following equation shows the relationship between  
the inductance, oscillator frequency, peak-to-peak ripple current  
in an inductor, and input and output voltages.

Designing an Inductor  
Once the inductance is known, the next step is either to design  
an inductor or find a standard inductor that comes as close as  
possible to meeting the overall design goals. The first decision in  
designing the inductor is to choose the core material. There are  
several possibilities for providing low core loss at high frequen-  
cies. Two examples are the powder cores (e.g., Kool-Mm® from  
Magnetics) and the gapped soft ferrite cores (e.g., 3F3 or 3F4  
from Philips). Low-frequency powdered iron cores should be  
avoided due to their high core loss, especially when the inductor  
value is relatively low and the ripple current is high.  
–8–  
REV. B  
ADP3160/ADP3167  
Two main core types can be used in this application. Open  
magnetic loop types, such as beads, beads on leads, and rods and  
slugs, provide lower cost but do not have a focused magnetic field  
in the core. The radiated EMI from the distributed magnetic  
field may create problems with noise interference in the circuitry  
surrounding the inductor. Closed-loop types, such as pot cores,  
PQ, U, and E cores, or toroids, cost more, but have much  
better EMI/RFI performance. A good compromise between  
price and performance are cores with a toroidal shape.  
Some error sources, such as initial voltage accuracy and ripple  
voltage, can be directly deducted from the available regulation  
window. Other error sources scale proportionally to the  
amount of voltage positioning used, which, for an optimal design,  
should use the maximum that the regulation window will allow.  
The error determination is a closed-loop calculation, but it can  
be closely approximated. To maintain a conservative design while  
avoiding an impractical design, various error sources should  
be considered and summed statistically.  
There are many useful references for quickly designing a power  
inductor. Table II gives some examples.  
The output ripple voltage can be factored into the calculation by  
summing the output ripple current with the maximum output  
current to determine an effective maximum dynamic current  
change. The remaining errors are summed separately according  
to the formula:

The output filter capacitor bank must have an ESR of less than  
1.5 mW. One can, for example, use nine MBZ-type capacitors  
from Rubycon, with 2.2 mF capacitance, a 6.3 V voltage rating,  
and 13 mW ESR. The nine capacitors have a maximum total ESR  
of 1.44 mW when connected in parallel. Without ADOPT voltage  
positioning, the ESR would need to be less than 0.9 mW, yielding  
a 50% increase to 14 MBZ-type output capacitors.  
COUT Selection—Determining the ESR  
The required equivalent series resistance (ESR) and capacitance  
drive the selection of the type and quantity of the output capacitors.  
The ESR must be small enough to contain the voltage devia-  
tion caused by a maximum allowable CPU transient current  
within the specified voltage limits, giving consideration also to the  
output ripple and the regulation tolerance. The capacitance must  
be large enough that the voltage across the capacitor, which is the  
sum of the resistive and capacitive voltage deviations, does not  
deviate beyond the initial resistive deviation while the inductor  
current ramps up or down to the value corresponding to the new  
load current. The maximum allowed ESR also represents the  
COUT—Checking the Capacitance  
As long as the capacitance of the output capacitor is above a  
critical value and the regulating loop is compensated with  
ADOPT, the actual value has no influence on the peak-to-peak  
deviation of the output voltage to a full step change in the load  
current. The critical capacitance can be calculated as follows:

The cumulative errors in the output voltage regulations cut into  
the available regulation window, VWIN. When considering dynamic  
load regulation this relates directly to the ESR. When consider-  
ing dc load regulation, this relates directly to the programmed  
output resistance of the power converter.

The critical capacitance for the nine Rubycon capacitors with  
an equivalent ESR of 1.44 mW is 6.5 mF, while the equivalent  
capacitance of those nine capacitors is 9 ¥ 2.2 mF = 19.8 mF.  
Therefore, the capacitance is safely above the critical value.

Power MOSFETs  
In the standard 2-phase application, two pairs of N-channel  
power MOSFETs must be used with the ADP3160 and  
ADP3412, one pair as the main (control) switches and the  
other pair as the synchronous rectifier switches. The main  
selection parameters for the power MOSFETs are VGS(TH)  
and RDS(ON). The minimum gate drive voltage (the supply volt-  
age to the ADP3412) dictates whether standard threshold or  
logic-level threshold MOSFETs must be used. Since VGATE < 8 V,  
logic-level threshold MOSFETs (VGS(TH) < 2.5 V) are strongly  
recommended.

and the peak gate drive current provided by the ADP3412 is  
about 1 A. In the third term, QRR is the charge stored in the  
body diode of the low-side MOSFET at the valley of the inductor  
current. The data sheet of the FDB8030L does not give that  
information, so an estimated value of 150 nC is used. The esti-  
mate is based on information found on the data sheet of a  
similar device, the IRF7809. In both terms, fSW is the actual  
switching frequency of the MOSFETs, or 200 kHz. IL(PK) is the  
peak current in the inductor, or 32.8 A.  
The optimal implementation of voltage positioning, ADOPT,  
will create an output impedance of the power converter that is  
entirely resistive over the widest possible frequency range, includ-  
ing dc, and equal to the maximum acceptable ESR of the output  
capacitor array. With the resistive output impedance, the output  
voltage will droop in proportion with the load current at any  
load current slew rate; this ensures the optimal positioning and  
allows the minimization of the output capacitor.  
With an ideal current-mode controlled converter, where the  
average inductor current would respond without delay to the  
command signal, the resistive output impedance could be  
achieved by having a single-pole roll-off of the voltage gain of  
the voltage-error amplifier. The pole frequency must coincide  
with the ESR zero of the output capacitor. The devices use constant  
frequency current-mode control, which is known to have a  
nonideal, frequency dependent command signal to inductor current  
transfer function. The frequency dependence manifests in the  
form of a pair of complex conjugate poles at one-half of the switch-  
ing frequency. A purely resistive output impedance could be  
achieved by canceling the complex conjugate poles with zeros at  
the same complex frequencies and adding a third pole equal to  
the ESR zero of the output capacitor. Such a compensating network  
would be quite complicated. Fortunately, in practice it is  
sufficient to cancel the pair of complex conjugate poles with a  
single real zero placed at one-half of the switching frequency.  
Although the end result is not a perfectly resistive output imped-  
ance, the remaining frequency dependence causes only a small  
percentage of deviation from the ideal resistive response. The  
single-pole and single-zero compensation can be easily implemented  
by terminating the gm error amplifier with the parallel combina-  
tion of a resistor and a series RC network.  
Substituting the above data in Equation 19, and using the worst-  
case value for the MOSFET resistance yields a conduction loss  
of 0.96 W, a turn-off loss of 2.75 W, and a turn-on loss of 0.72 W.  
Thus the worst-case total loss in a high-side MOSFET is 4.43 W.  
The worst-case low-side MOSFET dissipation is:

(Note that there are no switching losses in the low-side MOSFET.)  
CIN Selection and Input Current di/dt Reduction  
In continuous inductor-current mode, the source current of the  
high-side MOSFET is approximately a square wave with a duty  
ratio equal to VOUT/VIN and an amplitude of one-half of the  
maximum output current. To prevent large voltage transients, a  
low ESR input capacitor sized for the maximum rms current  
must be used. The maximum rms capacitor current is given by:

The first step in the design of the feedback loop compensa-  
tion is to determine the targeted output resistance, RE(MAX), of the  
power converter using Equation 4. The compensation can then  
be tailored to create that output impedance for the power  
converter, and the quantity of output capacitors can be chosen  
Note that the capacitor manufacturer’s ripple current ratings are  
often based on only 2000 hours of life. This makes it advisable  
to further derate the capacitor, or to choose a capacitor rated at  
a higher temperature than required. Several capacitors may be  
placed in parallel to meet size or height requirements in the  
design. In this example, the input capacitor bank is formed by  
four 270 mF, 16 V OS-CON capacitors.

To reduce the input current di/dt to below the recommended  
maximum of 0.1 A/ms, an additional small inductor (L > 1 mH @  
15 A) should be inserted between the converter and the supply  
bus. That inductor also acts as a filter between the converter and  
the primary power source.  
where nI is the division ratio from the output voltage signal of  
the gm amplifier to the PWM comparator (CMP1), gm is the  
transconductance of the gm amplifier itself, and the factor of 2 is  
the result of the 2-phase configuration. Note that the internal  
current multiplier (nI) is 12.5 for the ADP3160, but is 25 for  
the ADP3167. For this example, assume that we use the  
Rubycon capacitors at the output with their ESR of 1.44 mW.  
Feedback Loop Compensation Design for ADOPT  
Optimized compensation of the ADP3160 and ADP3167 allow  
the best possible containment of the peak-to-peak output voltage  
deviation. Any practical switching power converter is inherently  
limited by the inductor in its output current slew rate to a value  
much less than the slew rate of the load. Therefore, any sudden  
change of load current will initially flow through the output capaci-  
tors, and assuming that the capacitance of the output capacitor  
is larger than the critical value defined by Equation 5, this will  
produce a peak output voltage deviation equal to the ESR of the  
output capacitor times the load current change.  
Once RT is known, the two resistors that make up the divider  
from the REF pin to output of the gm amplifier (COMP pin)  
must be calculated. The resistive divider introduces an offset to  
the output of the gm amplifier that, when reflected back through  
the gain of the gm stage, accurately positions the output voltage  
near its allowed maximum at light load. Furthermore, the output  
of the gm amplifier sets the current sense threshold voltage. At no  
load, the current sense threshold is increased by the peak of the  
ripple current in the inductor and reduced by the delay between

sensing when the current threshold has been reached and when  
the high-side MOSFET actually turns off. These two factors are  
combined with the inherent voltage at the output of gm amplifier  
that commands a current sense threshold of 0 mV (VGNL0):

LAYOUT AND COMPONENT PLACEMENT GUIDELINES  
The following guidelines are recommended for optimal perfor-  
mance of a switching regulator in a PC system.  
General Recommendations  
1. For good results, at least a four-layer PCB is recommended.  
This should allow the needed versatility for control circuitry  
interconnections with optimal placement, a signal ground  
plane, power planes for both power ground and the input  
power (e.g., 5 V), and wide interconnection traces in the  
rest of the power delivery current paths. Keep in mind that  
each square unit of 1 ounce copper trace has a resistance of  
~0.53 mW at room temperature.

2
2. Whenever high currents must be routed between PCB layers,  
vias should be used liberally to create several parallel current  
paths so that the resistance and inductance introduced by  
these current paths is minimized and the via current rating is  
not exceeded.

Design Example of Figure 6  
AMD Athlon Design Example  
The design parameters for a typical high-performance AMD  
CPU application (see Figure 8) are as follows:  
3. If critical signal lines (including the voltage and current  
sense lines of the ADP3160) must cross through power  
circuitry, it is best if a signal ground plane can be interposed  
between those signal lines and the traces of the power  
circuitry. This serves as a shield to minimize noise injec-  
tion into the signals at the expense of making signal ground  
a bit noisier.  
Input Voltage (VIN) = 5 V  
Nominal Output Voltage (VOUT) = 1.7 V  
Static Output Tolerance (V) = (V+) – (V–) =  
50 mV – (–50 mV) = 100 mV  
4. The power ground plane should not extend under signal  
components, including the ADP3160 itself. If necessary,  
follow the preceding guideline to use the signal ground  
plane as a shield between the power ground plane and the  
signal circuitry.  
Average Output Voltage (VAVG ) =  
(V+) + (V–)  
VOUT  
+
= 1.7 V  
2
Maximum Output Current (IO) = 45 A  
5. The GND pin of the ADP3160 should be connected first to  
the timing capacitor (on the CT pin), and then into the  
signal ground plane. In cases where no signal ground plane  
can be used, short interconnections to other signal ground  
circuitry in the power converter should be used.  
Output Current di/dt < 50 A/s  
Using the design procedure previously shown, the final values  
for this application were calculated, and are shown in Figure 8.

6. The output capacitors of the power converter should be  
connected to the signal ground plane even though power  
current flows in the ground of these capacitors. For this  
reason, it is advisable to avoid critical ground connections  
(e.g., the signal circuitry of the power converter) in the  
signal ground plane between the input and output capacitors.  
It is also advisable to keep the planar interconnection path  
short (i.e., have input and output capacitors close together).  
momentarily has a high voltage forced across it, which translates  
into added power dissipation in the upper MOSFET. The  
Schottky diode minimizes this problem by carrying a majority of  
the circulating current when the lower MOSFET is turned off,  
and by virtue of its essentially nonexistent reverse recovery  
time. The Schottky diode has to be connected with very short  
copper traces to the MOSFET to be effective.  
11. A small ferrite bead inductor placed in series with the drain  
of the lower MOSFET can also help to reduce this previously  
described source of switching power loss.  
7. The output capacitors should also be connected as closely  
as possible to the load (or connector) that receives the power  
(e.g., a microprocessor core). If the load is distributed, the  
capacitors should also be distributed, and generally in  
proportion to where the load tends to be more dynamic.  
12. Whenever a power dissipating component (e.g., a power  
MOSFET) is soldered to a PCB, the liberal use of vias, both  
directly on the mounting pad and immediately surrounding  
it, is recommended. Two important reasons for this are:  
improved current rating through the vias, and improved  
thermal performance from vias extended to the opposite side  
of the PCB where a plane can more readily transfer the heat  
to the air.  
8. Absolutely avoid crossing any signal lines over the switching  
power path loop, described next.  
Power Circuitry  
9. The switching power path should be routed on the PCB to  
encompass the smallest possible area to minimize radiated  
switching noise energy (i.e., EMI). Failure to take proper  
precautions often results in EMI problems for the entire PC  
system as well as noise-related operational problems in the  
power converter control circuitry. The switching power path  
is the loop formed by the current path through the input  
capacitors, the power MOSFETs, and the power Schottky  
diode, if used (see next), including all interconnecting PCB  
traces and planes. The use of short and wide interconnec-  
tion traces is especially critical in this path for two reasons:  
it minimizes the inductance in the switching loop, which can  
cause high-energy ringing, and it accommodates the high  
current demand with minimal voltage loss.  
13. The output power path, though not as critical as the switch-  
ing power path, should also be routed to encompass a small  
area. The output power path is formed by the current path  
through the inductor, the current sensing resistor, the out-  
put capacitors, and back to the input capacitors.  
14. For best EMI containment, the power ground plane should  
extend fully under all the power components except the  
output capacitors. These components are: the input capacitors,  
the power MOSFETs and Schottky diodes, the inductors, the  
current sense resistor, and any snubbing element that might  
be added to dampen ringing. Avoid extending the power  
ground under any other circuitry or signal lines, including the  
voltage and current sense lines.  
10. An optional power Schottky diode (3 A–5 A dc rating) from  
each lower MOSFET’s source (anode) to drain (cathode) will  
help to minimize switching power dissipation in the upper  
MOSFETs. In the absence of an effective Schottky diode, this  
dissipation occurs through the following sequence of switching  
events. The lower MOSFET turns off in advance of the upper  
MOSFET turning on (necessary to prevent cross-conduction).  
The circulating current in the power converter, no longer  
finding a path for current through the channel of the lower  
MOSFET, draws current through the inherent body diode of  
the MOSFET. The upper MOSFET turns on, and the reverse  
recovery characteristic of the lower MOSFET’s body diode  
prevents the drain voltage from being pulled high quickly. The  
upper MOSFET then conducts very large current while it  
Signal Circuitry  
15. The output voltage is sensed and regulated between the FB  
pin and the GND pin (which connects to the signal ground  
plane). The output current is sensed (as a voltage) by the  
CS+ and CS– pins. In order to avoid differential mode noise  
pickup in the sensed signal, the loop area should be small.  
Thus the FB trace should be routed atop the signal ground  
plane and the CS+ and CS– pins (the CS+ pin should be  
over the signal ground plane as well).  
16. The CS+ and CS– traces should be Kelvin-connected to the  
current sense resistor, so that the additional voltage drop  
due to current flow on the PCB at the current sense resistor  
connections does not affect the sensed voltage.
