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. 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 the power level split. 1 2 2 1 I I ESR ESR = The higher current inductor will have the lower ESR value. If the ESR of the phase 1 inductor is selected as 10mΩ, then the ESR value of the phase 2 inductor is calculated as: mΩ 4 . 6 mΩ 10 33 . 7 67 . 4 = × ⎟ ⎠ ⎞ ⎜ ⎝ ⎛ A A Depending on the required accuracy of this power sharing; inductors can be chosen from standard vendor tables with an ESR ratio close to the required values. Inductors can also be designed for a given application so that there is the least amount of compromise in the inductor’s performance. 1.5V @ 12A 18W 6.4mΩ 4.67A 7.33A 10mΩ 1.5V + 46.7mV L1 L2 +5V @ 7W +3.3V @ 11W VOUT Figure 7 – Ratio LoadSHARE Using Inductor ESR BI-PHASE, LOADSHARE ( FEEDBACK DIVIDER METHOD) 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. 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 that the current difference between the two inductors still flows during a no load condition. 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 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 force LPF2 to always be equal to LPF1. The following calculations determine the value of the resistor divider necessary to satisfy this example. |
