10 / 28 page 10 FN9200.2 July 27, 2005 VCOMP voltage crosses the sawtooth ramp, the PWM output transitions high. The internal or external 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. Channel-Current Balance One important benefit of multi-phase operation is the thermal advantage gained by distributing the dissipated heat over multiple devices and greater area. By doing this the designer avoids the complexity of driving parallel MOSFETs and the expense of using expensive heat sinks and exotic magnetic materials. In order to realize the thermal advantage, it is important that each channel in a multi-phase converter be controlled to carry about the same amount of current at any load level. To achieve this, the currents through each channel must be sampled every switching cycle. The sampled currents, In, from each active channel are summed together and divided by the number of active channels. The resulting cycle average current, IAVG, provides a measure of the total load- current demand on the converter during each switching cycle. Channel-current balance is achieved by comparing the sampled current of each channel to the cycle average current, and making the proper adjustment to each channel pulse width based on the error. Intersil’s patented current- balance method is illustrated in Figure 3, with error correction for channel 1 represented. In the figure, the cycle average current, IAVG, is compared with the channel 1 sample, I1, to create an error signal IER. The filtered error signal modifies the pulse width commanded by VCOMP to correct any unbalance and force IER toward zero. The same method for error signal correction is applied to each active channel. Current Sampling In order to realize proper current-balance, the currents in each channel must be sampled every switching cycle. This sampling occurs during the forced off-time, following a PWM transition low. During this time the current-sense amplifier uses the ISEN inputs to reproduce a signal proportional to the inductor current, IL. This sensed current, ISEN, is simply a scaled version of the inductor current. The sample window opens exactly 1/6 of the switching period, tSW, after the PWM transitions low. The sample window then stays open the rest of the switching cycle until PWM transitions high again, as illustrated in Figure 4. The sampled current, at the end of the tSAMPLE, is proportional to the inductor current and is held until the next switching period sample. The sampled current is used only for channel-current balance. The ISL6566A supports MOSFET rDS(ON) current sensing to sample each channel’s current for channel-current balance. The internal circuitry, shown in Figure 5 represents channel n of an N-channel converter. This circuitry is repeated for each channel in the converter, but may not be active depending on the status of the PVCC3 and PVCC2 pins, as described in the PWM Operation section. FIGURE 3.
