11 / 24 page 11 FN9097.4 December 28, 2004 Figures 14, 16 and 16 in the section entitled Input Capacitor Selection can be used to determine the input-capacitor RMS current based on load current, duty cycle, and the number of channels. They are provided as aids in determining the optimal input capacitor solution. Figure 17 shows the single phase input-capacitor RMS current for comparison. PWM Operation The timing of each converter leg is set by the number of active channels. The default channel setting for the ISL6556B is four. One switching cycle is defined as the time between PWM1 pulse termination signals. The pulse termination signal is the internally generated clock signal that triggers the falling edge of PWM1. The cycle time of the pulse termination signal is the inverse of the switching frequency set by the resistor between the FS pin and ground. Each cycle begins when the clock signal commands the channel-1 PWM output to go low. The PWM1 transition signals the channel-1 MOSFET driver to turn off the channel-1 upper MOSFET and turn on the channel-1 synchronous MOSFET. In the default channel configuration, the PWM2 pulse terminates 1/4 of a cycle after PWM1. The PWM3 output follows another 1/4 of a cycle after PWM2. PWM4 terminates another 1/4 of a cycle after PWM3. If PWM3 is connected to VCC, two channel operation is selected and the PWM2 pulse terminates 1/2 of a cycle later. Connecting PWM4 to VCC selects three channel operation and the pulse-termination times are spaced in 1/3 cycle increments. Once a PWM signal transitions low, it is held low for a minimum of 1/3 cycle. This forced off time is required to ensure an accurate current sample. Current sensing is described in the next section. After the forced off time expires, the PWM output is enabled. The PWM output state is driven by the position of the error amplifier output signal, VCOMP, minus the current correction signal relative to the sawtooth ramp as illustrated in Figure 4. When the modified VCOMP voltage crosses the sawtooth ramp, the PWM output transitions high. The MOSFET driver detects the change in state of the PWM signal and turns off the synchronous MOSFET and turns on the upper MOSFET. The PWM signal will remain high until the pulse termination signal marks the beginning of the next cycle by triggering the PWM signal low. Current Sensing During the forced off time following a PWM transition low, the controller senses channel current by sampling the voltage across the lower MOSFET rDS(ON) (see Figure 3). A ground- referenced operational amplifier, internal to the ISL6556B, is connected to the PHASE node through a resistor, RISEN. The voltage across RISEN is equivalent to the voltage drop across the rDS(ON) of the lower MOSFET while it is conducting. The resulting current into the ISEN pin is proportional to the channel current, IL. The ISEN current is sampled and held after sufficient settling time every switching cycle. The sampled current, In, is used for channel- current balance, load-line regulation, overcurrent protection, and module current sharing. From Figure 3, the following equation for In is derived where IL is the channel current. If RDS(ON) sensing is not desired, an independent current- sense resistor in series with the lower MOSFET source can serve as a sense element. The circuitry shown in Figure 3 represents channel n of an N-channel converter. This circuitry is repeated for each channel in the converter, but may not be active depending upon the status of the PWM3 and PWM4 pins as described under PWM Operation section. Channel-Current Balance The sampled current, In, from each active channel is used to gauge both overall load current and the relative channel current carried in each leg of the converter. The individual sample currents are summed and divided by the number of active channels. The resulting average current, IAVG, provides a measure of the total load current demand on the converter and the appropriate level of channel current. Using Figures 3 and 4, the average current is defined as where N is the number of active channels and IOUT is the total load current. The average current is subtracted from the individual channel sample currents. The resulting error current, IER, is filtered to modify VCOMP. The modified VCOMP signal is compared to a sawtooth ramp signal to produce a modified In IL rDS ON () RISEN ---------------------- = (EQ. 3) FIGURE 3.
