FUNCTIONAL PIN DESCRIPTION  
NAME  
DESCRIPTION  
Bi-Phase Operation: Phase 1 and 2 Voltage Feedback  
FB1  
Single Phase Operation: Phase 1 Voltage Feedback , connect to the output through a resistor network to set  
desired output voltage of Phase 1  
Error Amplifier Output – Sets external compensation for the corresponding phase denoted by “X”.  
EOX  
FB3  
Phase 3 Voltage Feedback , connect to the output through a resistor network to set desired output voltage of  
Phase 3.  
Bi-Phase Operation: Load Sharing Voltage Sense Feedback – Connect filtered phase 2 switching output (pre-  
inductor) to FB2 to ensure proper current sharing between phase 1 and phase 2.  
Single Phase Operation: Phase 2 Voltage Feedback, connect to the output through a resistor network to set  
desired output voltage of Phase 2.  
FB2  
RF2  
B-Phase Operation: Load Sharing Voltage Sense Feedback Reference – Sets reference for current sharing  
control loop. Connecting filtered phase 1 switching output (pre-inductor) to REF2 forces average current in  
phase 2 to be equal to phase 1.  
Single Phase Operation: Phase 2 Voltage Reference – connected to SS2 pin as a reference.  
IC supply voltage (nominal 5V).  
VCC  
Low Dropout Regulator Voltage Feedback – Sets output voltage of external MOSFET via resistor network.  
LDFB  
Over-Current Limit Set – Connecting a resistor between CS pin and the source of the high-side MOSFET sets the  
current-limit threshold for the corresponding phase denoted by “X”. Exceeding the current-limit threshold forces  
the corresponding phase into hiccup mode protection. A minimum of 1Kmust be in series with this input.  
CSX  
SSX  
Enable & Soft-start/Hiccup Capacitor Pin – During start-up, the voltage on this pin controls the output voltage of  
its respective regulator. An internal 20kresistor and the external capacitor set the time constant for soft-start  
function. The Soft-start function does not initialize until the supply voltage exceeds the UVLO threshold. When  
an over-current condition occurs, this capacitor is used for the timing of hiccup mode protection. Pulling the SS  
pin below 0.3V disables the corresponding phase denoted by “X”.  
Analog ground reference.  
AGND  
DGND  
Digital ground reference.  
Low Dropout Regulator Gate Drive – Connects to gate of external N-Channel MOSFET for linear regulator  
function.  
LDGD  
PGX  
Driver Power Ground. Connects to the source of the bottom N-channel MOSFETS of phase 1& 2 where X=1,  
and phase 3 where X=3.  
High Side MOSFET Gate Driver – “X” denotes corresponding phase.  
HOX  
LOX  
Low Side MOSFET Gate Driver – “X” denotes corresponding phase.  
Phase High-Side MOSFET Gate Driver Supply – Connect to separate supply or boot strap supply to ensure  
VCX  
proper high-side gate driver supply voltage. “X” denotes corresponding phase. If the phase is not used connect to  
VCC  
Active High disables LDO output.  
LDDIS  
VCCL  
Power Supply pin for all Low side drivers.  
Voltage reference for Current sense. This pin is also the supply pin for the Current Sense Comparator.  
“X” denotes corresponding phase. This pin cannot be left floating, if a phase is not used connect to VCC.

PRODUCTION DATA SHEET  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
Hiccup is disabled during the soft-start interval, allowing start  
up with maximum current. If the rate of rise of the output voltage  
is too fast, the required charging current to the output capacitor  
may be higher than the limit-current. In this case, the peak  
MOSFET current is regulated to the limit-current by the current-  
sense comparator. If the MOSFET current still reaches its limit  
after the soft-start finishes, the hiccup is triggered again. When the  
output has a short circuit the hiccup circuit ensures that the  
average heat generation in both MOSFETs and the average current  
is much less than in normal operation.

UNDER VOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO)  
At power up, the LX1671 monitors the supply voltage for  
VCC, VCCL, and VCX (there is no requirement for sequencing  
the supplies). Before all supplies reach their under-voltage lock-  
out (UVLO) thresholds, the soft-start (SS) pin is held low to  
prevent soft-start from beginning, the oscillator is disabled and  
all MOSFETs are held off.  
Over-current protection can also be implemented using a sense  
resistor, instead of using the RDS(ON) of the upper MOSFET, for  
greater set-point accuracy.  
SOFT-START  
OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY  
Once the supplies are above the UVLO threshold, the soft-start  
capacitor begins to be charged by the reference through a 20kΩ  
internal resistor. The capacitor voltage at the SS pin rises as a  
simple RC circuit. The SS pin is connected to the error  
amplifier’s non-inverting input that controls the output voltage.  
The output voltage will follow the SS pin voltage if sufficient  
charging current is provided to the output capacitor.  
An internal oscillator sets the switching frequency at 300kHz.  
THEORY OF OPERATION FOR  
CONFIGURATION  
A
BI-PHASE, LOADSHARE  
The basic principle used in LoadSHARE, in a multiple phase  
buck converter topology is that if multiple, identical, inductors  
have the same identical voltage impressed across their leads, they  
must then have the same identical current passing through them.  
The current that we would like to balance between inductors is  
mainly the DC component along with as much as possible the  
transient current. All inductors in a multiphase buck converter  
topology have their output side tied together at the output filter  
capacitors. Therefore this side of all the inductors have the same  
identical voltage.  
The simple RC soft-start allows the output to rise faster at the  
beginning and slower at the end of the soft-start interval. Thus,  
the required charging current into the output capacitor is less at  
the end of the soft-start interval. A comparator monitors the SS  
pin voltage and indicates the end of soft-start when SS pin  
voltage reaches 95% of VREF  
.
OVER-CURRENT PROTECTION (OCP) AND HICCUP  
If the input side of the inductors can be forced to have the same  
equivalent DC potential on this lead, then they will have the same  
DC current flowing. To achieve this requirement, phase 1 will be  
the control phase that sets the output operating voltage, under  
normal PWM operation. To force the current of phase 2 to be  
equal to the current of phase 1, a second feedback loop is used.  
Phase 2 has a low pass filter connected from the input side of each  
inductor. This side of the inductors has a square wave signal that  
is proportional to its duty cycle. The output of each LPF is a DC  
(+ some AC) signal that is proportional to the magnitude and duty  
cycle of its respective inductor signal. The second feedback loop  
will use the output of the phase 1 LPF as a reference signal for an  
error amplifier that will compare this reference to the output of the  
phase 2 LPF. This error signal will be amplified and used to  
control the PWM circuit of phase 2. Therefore, the duty cycle of  
phase 2 will be set so that the equivalent voltage potential will be  
forced across the phase 2 inductor as compared to the phase 1  
inductor. This will force the current in the phase 2 inductor to  
follow and be equal to the current in the phase 1 inductor.  
The LX1671 uses the RDS(ON) of the upper MOSFET, together  
with a resistor (RSET) to set the actual current limit point. The  
current sense comparator senses the MOSFET current 350nS  
after the top MOSFET is switched on in order to reduce  
inaccuracies due to ringing. A current source supplies a current  
(ISET), whose magnitude is 50µA. The set resistor RSET is  
selected to set the current limit for the application. RSET and VSX  
should be connected directly at the upper MOSFET drain and  
source to get an accurate measurement across the low resistance  
RDS(ON)  
.
When the sensed voltage across RDS(ON) plus the set resistor  
exceeds the 300mV, VTRIP threshold, the OCP comparator outputs  
a signal to reset the PWM latch and to start hiccup mode. The  
soft-start capacitor (CSS) is discharged slowly (10 times slower  
than when being charged up by RSS). When the voltage on the SS  
pin reaches a 0.2V threshold, hiccup finishes and the circuit soft-  
starts again. During hiccup both MOSFETs for that phase are  
held off.  
There are four methods that can be used to implement the  
LoadSHARE feature of the LX1671 in the Bi-Phase mode of  
operation.  
If any phase is not used connect the VSX and VCX pins to  
VCC, do not leave them floating.

THEORY OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)  
BI-PHASE, LOADSHARE (FEEDBACK DIVIDER METHOD)  
BI-PHASE, LOADSHARE (ESR METHOD)  
The first method is to change the ratio of the inductors  
equivalent series resistance, (ESR). As can be seen in the  
previous example, if the offset error is zero and the ESR of the  
two inductors are identical, then the two inductor currents will be  
identical. To change the ratio of current between the two  
inductors, the value of the inductor’s ESR can be changed to  
allow more current to flow through one inductor than the other.  
The inductor with the lower ESR value will have the larger  
current. The inductor currents are directly proportional to the  
ratio of the inductor’s ESR value.  
Sometimes it is desirable to use the same inductor in both phases  
while having a much larger current in one phase versus the other.  
A simple resistor divider can be used on the input side of the Low  
Pass Filter that is taken off of the switching side of the inductors.  
If the Phase 2 current is to be larger than the current in Phase 1; the  
resistor divider is placed in the feedback path before the Low Pass  
Filter that is connected to the Phase 2 inductor. If the Phase 2  
current needs to be less than the current in Phase 1; the resistor  
divider is then placed in the feedback path before the Low Pass  
Filter that is connected to the Phase 1 inductor.  
The following circuit description shows how to select the  
inductor ESR for each phase where a different amount of power  
is taken from two different input power supplies. A typical setup  
will have a +5V power supply connected to the phase 1 half  
bridge driver and a +3.3V power supply connected to the phase 2  
half bridge driver. The combined power output for this core  
voltage is 18W (+1.5V @ 12A). For this example the +5V power  
supply will supply 7W and the +3.3V power supply will supply  
the other 11W. 7W @ 1.5V is a 4.67A current through the phase  
1 inductor. 11W @ 1.5V is a 7.33A current through the phase 2  
inductor. The ratio of inductor ESR is inversely proportional to  
ESR1 I2  
As in Figure 7, the millivolts of DC offset created by the  
resistor divider network in the feedback path, appears as a voltage  
generator between the ESR of the two inductors.  
A divider in the feedback path from Phase 2 will cause the  
voltage generator to be positive at Phase 2. With a divider in the  
feedback path of Phase 1 the voltage generator becomes positive at  
Phase 1. The Phase with the positive side of the voltage generator  
will have the larger current. Systems that operate continuously  
above a 30% power level can use this method, a down side is that  
the current difference between the two inductors still flows during  
a no load condition.  
the power level split.  
=
ESR2 I1  
This produces a low efficiency condition during a no load or  
light load state, this method should not be used if a wide range of  
output power is required.  
The higher current inductor will have the lower ESR value. If the  
ESR of the phase 1 inductor is selected as 10m, then the ESR  
value of the phase 2 inductor is calculated as:  
The following description and Figure 8 show how to determine  
the value of the resistor divider network required to generate the  
offset voltage necessary to produce the different current ratio in the  
two output inductors. The power sharing ratio is the same as that  
of Figure 7. The Offset Voltage Generator is symbolic for the DC  
voltage offset between Phase 1 & 2. This voltage is generated by  
small changes in the duty cycle of Phase 2. The output of the LPF  
is a DC voltage proportional to the duty cycle on its input. A small  
amount of attenuation by a resistor divider before the LPF of Phase  
2 will cause the duty cycle of Phase 2 to increase to produce the  
added offset at V2. The high DC gain of the error amplifier will

Depending on the required accuracy of this power sharing;

compromise in the inductor’s performance.

Also a speed up capacitor can be used between the offset  
amplifier output and the negative input of the Phase 2 error  
amplifier. This will improve the transient response of the Phase 2  
output current, so that it will share more equally with phase 1  
current during a transient condition.  
BI-PHASE, LOADSHARE (PROPORTIONAL METHOD)  
The best topology for generating a current ratio at full load  
and proportional between full load and no load is shown in figure  
9. The DC voltage difference between LPF1 and VOUT is a  
voltage that is proportional to the current flowing in the Phase 1  
inductor. This voltage can be amplified and used to offset the  
voltage at LPF2 through a large impedance that will not  
significantly alter the characteristics of the low pass filter. At no  
load there will be no offset voltage and no offset current between  
the two phases. This will give the highest efficiency at no load.  
The use of a MOSFET input amplifier is required for the buffer  
to prevent loading the low pass filter. The gain of the offset  
amplifier, and the value of Ra and Rb, will determine the ratio of  
currents between the phases at full load. Two external amplifiers  
are required or this method.

THEORY OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)  
BI-PHASE, LOADSHARE (SERIES RESISTOR METHOD)  
The circuit in Figure 9 sums a current through a 1Mresistor  
(Rb) offsetting the phase 2 error amplifier to create an imbalance  
in the L1 and L2 currents. Although there are many ways to  
calculate component values the approach taken here is to pick Ra,  
Rb, Rin, Vout, and inductor ESR. A value for the remaining  
resistor Rf can then be calculated.  
A fourth but less desirable way to produce the ratio current  
between the two phases is to add a resistor in series with one of the  
inductors. This will reduce the current in the inductor that has the  
resistor and increase the current in the inductor of the opposite  
phase. The example of Figure 7 can be used to determine the  
current ratio by adding the value of the series resistor to the ESR  
value of the inductor. The added resistance will lower the overall  
efficiency  
The first decision to be made is the current sharing ratio,  
follow the previous examples to understand the basics of  
LoadSHARE. The most common reason to imbalance the  
currents in the two phases is because of limitations on the  
available power from the input rails for each phase. Use the  
available input power and total required output power to  
determine the inductor currents for each phase.  
LoadSHARE ERROR SOURCES  
With the high DC feedback gain of this second loop, all phase  
timing errors, RDS(On) mismatch, and voltage differences across the  
half bridge drivers are removed from the current sharing accuracy.  
The errors in the current sharing accuracy are derived from the  
tolerance on the inductor’s ESR and the input offset voltage  
specification of the error amplifier. The equivalent circuit is shown  
next for an absolute worst case difference of phase currents  
between the two inductors.

APPLICATION NOTE  
OUTPUT INDUCTOR  
OUTPUT CAPACITOR  
The output inductor should be selected to meet the  
requirements of the output voltage ripple in steady-state operation  
and the inductor current slew-rate during transient. The peak-to-  
peak output voltage ripple is:  
The output capacitor is sized to meet ripple and transient  
performance specifications. Effective Series Resistance (ESR) is a  
critical parameter. When a step load current occurs, the output  
voltage will have a step that equals the product of the ESR and the  
current step, I. In an advanced microprocessor power supply, the  
output capacitor is usually selected for ESR instead of capacitance  
or RMS current capability. A capacitor that satisfies the ESR  
requirements usually has a larger capacitance and current capability  
than strictly needed. The allowed ESR can be found by:  
VRIPPLE = ESR× IRIPPLE  
where  
VIN VOUT  
D
I =  
×
L
f s  
ESR×  
(
IRIPPLE + I < VEX  
)
Where IRIPPLE is the inductor ripple current, I is the maximum  
load current step change, and VEX is the allowed output voltage  
excursion in the transient.  
I is the inductor ripple current, L is the output inductor value  
and ESR is the Effective Series Resistance of the output  
capacitor.  
I should typically be in the range of 20% to 40% of the  
maximum output current. Higher inductance results in lower  
output voltage ripple, allowing slightly higher ESR to satisfy the  
transient specification. Higher inductance also slows the inductor  
current slew rate in response to the load-current step change, I,  
resulting in more output-capacitor voltage droop. When using  
electrolytic capacitors, the capacitor voltage droop is usually  
negligible, due to the large capacitance  
Electrolytic capacitors can be used for the output capacitor, but  
are less stable with age than tantalum capacitors. As they age, their  
ESR degrades, reducing the system performance and increasing the  
risk of failure. It is recommended that multiple parallel capacitors  
be used, so that, as ESR increase with age, overall performance  
will still meet the processor’s requirements.  
There is frequently strong pressure to use the least expensive  
components possible, however, this could lead to degraded long-  
term reliability, especially in the case of filter capacitors.  
Microsemi’s demonstration boards use the CDE Polymer AL-EL  
(ESRE) filter capacitors, which are aluminum electrolytic, and  
have demonstrated reliability. The OS-CON series from Sanyo  
generally provides the very best performance in terms of long term  
ESR stability and general reliability, but at a substantial cost  
penalty. The CDE Polymer AL-EL (ESRE) filter series provides  
excellent ESR performance at a reasonable cost. Beware of off-  
brand, very low-cost filter capacitors, which have been shown to  
degrade in both ESR and general electrolytic characteristics over  
time.

Values of Css equal to .1uf or greater are unlikely to result in

INPUT CAPACITOR  
The input capacitor and the input inductor, if used, are to filter  
the pulsating current generated by the buck converter to reduce  
interference to other circuits connected to the same 5V rail. In  
addition, the input capacitor provides local de-coupling for the  
buck converter. The capacitor should be rated to handle the RMS  
current requirements. The RMS current is:

Current limiting occurs at current level ICL when the voltage  
detected by the current sense comparator is greater than the current  
sense comparator threshold, VTRIP (300mV).

Where IL is the inductor current and d is the duty cycle. The  
maximum value occurs when d = 50% then IRMS =0.5IL. For 5V

to charge the output capacitor. The output voltage will follow the  
voltage at the SS pin if the required inductor current does not  
exceed the maximum allowable current for the inductor. The SS  
pin voltage can be expressed as:

upper MOSFET on time is less than 350nS and a short circuit  
condition occurs the duty cycle will increase, since Vout will be  
low. The current limit circuit will be enabled when the upper gate

OUTPUT ENABLE  
DDR VTT TERMINATION VOLTAGE  
Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM requires a termination  
voltage (VTT) in addition to the line driver supply voltage (VDDQ)  
and receiver supply voltage (VDD). Although it is not a  
requirement VDD is generally equal to VDDQ so that only VTT  
and VDDQ are required..  
The LX1671 MOSFET driver outputs are shut off by pulling  
the soft-start pin below 0.3V.  
The LDO voltage regulator has its own Enable/Disable pin  
(LDDIS) for control of this output voltage.  
PROGRAMMING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE  
The LX1671 can supply both voltages by using two of the three  
PWM phases. Since the currents for VTT and (VDD plus VDDQ)  
are quite often several amps, (2A to 6A is common) a switching  
regulator is a logical choice  
The output Voltage is sensed by the feedback pin (FBX) which  
is compared to a 0.8V reference. The output voltage can be set to  
any voltage above 0.8V (and lower than the input voltage) by  
means of a resistor divider R1-R2 (see Figure 1).  
VTT for DDR memory can be generated with the LX1671 by  
using the positive input of the phase 2 error amplifier RF2 as a  
reference input from an external reference voltage VREF which is  
defined as one half of VDDQ. Using VREF as the reference input  
will insure that all voltages are correct and track each other as  
specified in the JEDEC (EIA/JESD8-9A) specification. The phase 2  
output will then be equal to VREF and track the VDDQ supply as  
required.  
VOUT = VREF (1+ R1/R2 )  
Note: This equation is simplified and does not account for  
error amplifier input current. Keep R1 and R2 close to 1k(order  
of magnitude).

When an external reference is used the Soft Start will not be  
functional for that phase

APPLICATION NOTE CONSIDERATIONS  
1. The power N-MOSFET transistor’s total gate charge spec,  
(Qg) should not exceed 40Nc when VCx = +12V. This  
condition will guarantee operation over the specified ambient  
temperature range. The Qg value of the N-MOSFET is  
directly related to the amount of power dissipation inside the  
IC package, from the three sets of MOSFET drivers. The  
equation relating Qg to the power dissipation of a MOSFET  
driver is: Pd = f * Qg * Vd . f = 300KHs and Vd is the  
supply voltage for the MOSFET driver. The three bottom  
MOSFET drivers are powered by the VCCL pin that is  
connected to +5V. The upper MOSFET drivers can be  
connected to the +12V supply or to a bootstrap supply  
generated by it’s output bridge. The bootstrap supply will be  
at +17V. Depending on the thermal environment of the  
application circuit, the Qg value of the N-MOSFETs will  
have to be less than the 40nC value. A typical configuration  
of the input voltage rails to generate the output voltages  
required is having the 5volt supply on phase 1, the 3.3volt  
supply on phase 2, and the 12volt supply on phase 3. At the  
max Qg value, the three bottom MOSFET drivers will  
dissipate 60mw each. The upper MOSFET drivers for phases  
1 and 2 will operate off of +12volts. Their dissipation is  
144mw each. Phase 3 will have the bootstrap supply so its  
dissipation is 204mw. The total power dissipation for gate  
drive is 672mw. Icc x Vcc =15ma x 5 V= 75mW. Total  
package power dissipation = 747mW. Using the thermal  
equation of : Tj = Ta + Pd * Oja, the Junction temperature  
for this IC package is = 23 + .747 * 85 which = 86 deg C.  
This means that the ambient temperature rise has to be less  
than 64 deg C.  
4. When phases 1 and 2 are used in the Bi-phase mode to current  
share into the same output load, the phase 2 current is forced to  
follow the phase 1 current. It is important to use a larger soft-  
start capacitor on phase 2 than phase 1 so that the phase 1  
current becomes active before phase 2 becomes active. This  
will minimize any start up transient. It is also important to  
disable phase 1 and 2 at the same time. Disabling phase 1  
without disabling phase 2, in the Bi-phase mode, lets phase 2  
turn on and off randomly because it has lost its reference.  
5. The maximum output voltage when using LoadSHARE is  
limited by the input common mode voltage of the error  
amplifier and cannot exceed the input common mode voltage.  
6. The minimum RSET resistor value is 1k ohm for the current  
limit sensing. If this resistor becomes shorted, it will do  
permanent damage to the IC.  
7. A resistor has been put in series with the gate of the LDO pass  
transistor to reduce the output noise level. The resistor value  
can be changed to optimize the output transient response versus  
output noise.  
8. The LDO controller inside the IC uses the voltage at VC1 as  
the drive voltage. Due to noise considerations ideally the  
voltage on the VC1 pin would be a fixed +12volt supply.  
When VC1 is connected to a bootstrap supply the LDO output  
will reflect significant switching noise without filtering. When  
VC1 is generated with a bootstrap supply the LDO should not  
be used.  
9. To delay the turn on of the LDO controller output, a capacitor  
should be connected between the LDDIS pin and the +5volts.  
The LDDIS input has a 100K pull down resistor, which keeps  
the LDO active until this pin is pulled high. During the power  
up sequence the capacitor connected to the LDDIS pin will  
keep the LDO off until this capacitor, being charge by the  
100K pull down resistor, goes through the low input threshold  
level.  
2. The Soft-Start reference input has a 300mv threshold, above  
which the PWM starts to operate. The internal operating  
reference level is set at 800mv. This means that the output  
voltage is 37.5% low when the PWM becomes active. This  
starts each phase up in the current limit mode without Hiccup  
operation. If more than one phase is using the 5volt rail for  
conversion, then their soft-start capacitor values should be  
changed so that the two phases do not start up together. This  
will help reduce the amount of 5volt input capacitance  
required. Also the VCC pin and the VCCL pin should be  
kept separated and should be decoupled separately. This will  
prevent the VCC pin from drooping back below the UVLO  
set point during start up.  
3. If a phase is not used connect the VSX and VCX pins to  
VCC. Do not leave them floating. A floating VSX pin will  
result in operation resembling a hiccup condition.
