Adjustable Output 1-/2-/3-Phase  
Synchronous Buck Controller  
ADP3182  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
FEATURES  
Selectable 1-, 2-, or 3-phase operation at up to 1 MHz per  
phase  
2ꢀ worst-case differential sensing error over temperature  
Externally adjustable 0.8 V to >5 V output from a 12 V supply  
Logic-level PWM outputs for interface to external high  
power drivers  
Active current balancing between all output phases  
Built-in power good/crowbar functions  
The ADP3182 is a highly efficient multiphase, synchronous,  
buck-switching regulator controller optimized for converting a  
12 V main supply into a high current, low voltage supply for use  
in point-of-load (POL) applications. It uses a multimode PWM  
architecture to drive the logic-level outputs at a programmable  
switching frequency that can be optimized for VR size and  
efficiency. The phase relationship of the output signals can be  
programmed to provide 1-, 2-, or 3-phase operation, allowing  
for the construction of up to three complementary buck-  
switching stages. The ADP3182 also provides accurate and  
reliable short-circuit protection and adjustable current limiting.

THEORY OF OPERATION  
cycle is possible. Also, more than one output can be on at the  
same time for overlapping phases.  
The ADP3182 combines a multimode, fixed frequency PWM  
control with multiphase logic outputs for use in 1-, 2-, and  
3-phase, synchronous, buck, point-of-load supply power  
converters. Multiphase operation is important for producing the  
high currents and low voltages demanded by auxiliary supplies  
in desktop computers, workstations, and servers. Handling the  
high currents in a single-phase converter would place high  
thermal demands on the components in the system, such as the  
inductors and MOSFETs.  
MASTER CLOCK FREQUENCY  
The clock frequency of the ADP3182 is set with an external  
resistor connected from the RT pin to ground. The frequency  
follows the graph in Figure 4. To determine the frequency per  
phase, the clock is divided by the number of phases in use. If  
PWM3 is grounded, then divide the master clock by 2 for the  
frequency of the remaining two phases.  
The multimode control of the ADP3182 ensures a stable, high  
performance topology for  
It is important to note that if only one phase is used, the clock  
will switch as if two phases were operating. This means that the  
oscillator frequency must be set at twice the expected value to  
program the desired PWM frequency.  
Balancing currents and thermals between phases  
High speed response at the lowest possible switching  
frequency and output decoupling  
OUTPUT VOLTAGE DIFFERENTIAL SENSING  
Minimizing thermal switching losses due to lower  
frequency operation  
The ADP3182 uses a differential-sensing, low offset voltage error  
amplifier. This maintains a worst-case specification of 2%  
differential-sensing error over its full operating output voltage  
and temperature range. The output voltage is sensed between  
the FB and FBRTN pins. FB should be connected through a  
resistor to the regulation point, usually the local bypass  
capacitor for the load. FBRTN should be connected directly to  
the remote sense ground point. The internal precision reference  
is referenced to FBRTN, which has a minimal current of 100 µA  
to allow accurate remote sensing. The internal error amplifier  
compares the output of the reference to the FB pin to regulate  
the output voltage.  
Tight regulation and accuracy  
Reduced output ripple due to multiphase cancellation  
PC board layout noise immunity  
Ease of use and design due to independent component  
selection  
Flexibility in operation for tailoring design to low cost or  
high performance  
START-UP SEQUENCE  
During start-up, the number of operational phases and their  
phase relationship is determined by the internal circuitry that  
monitors the PWM outputs. Normally, the ADP3182 operates  
as a 3-phase PWM controller. Grounding the PWM3 pin  
programs 1/2-phase operation.  
OUTPUT CURRENT SENSING  
The ADP3182 provides a dedicated current sense amplifier  
(CSA) to monitor the total output current for current limit  
detection. Sensing the load current at the output gives the total  
average current being delivered to the load, which is an  
inherently more accurate method than peak current detection  
or sampling the current across a sense element such as the low-  
side MOSFET. This amplifier can be configured several ways  
depending on the objectives of the system:  
When the ADP3182 is enabled, the controller outputs a voltage  
on PWM3 that is approximately 675 mV. An internal comparator  
checks the pin’s voltage vs. a threshold of 300 mV. If the pin is  
grounded, it is below the threshold and the phase is disabled.  
The output resistance of the PWM pin is approximately 5 k  
during this detection time. Any external pull-down resistance  
connected to the PWM pin should be more than 25 kto  
ensure proper operation. PWM1 and PWM2 are disabled  
during the phase detection interval, which occurs during the  
first two clock cycles of the internal oscillator. After this time, if  
the PWM output is not grounded, the 5 kresistance is  
removed, and the PWM output switches between 0 V and 5 V. If  
the PWM output is grounded, it remains off.  
Output inductor DCR sensing without a thermistor for  
lowest cost  
Output inductor DCR sensing with a thermistor for  
improved accuracy for tracking inductor temperature  
Sense resistors for highest accuracy measurements  
The positive input of the CSA is connected to the CSREF pin,  
which is connected to the output voltage. The inputs to the  
amplifier are summed together through resistors from the  
sensing element (such as the switch node side of the output  
inductors) to the inverting input, CSSUM. The feedback resistor  
between CSCOMP and CSSUM sets the gain of the amplifier,  
and a filter capacitor is placed in parallel with this resistor. The  
The PWM outputs are logic-level devices intended for driving  
external gate drivers such as the ADP3418. Because each phase  
is monitored independently, operation approaching 100% duty

ADP3182  
gain of the amplifier is programmable by adjusting the feedback  
resistor. The current information is then given as the difference  
of CSREF − CSCOMP. This difference in signal is used as a  
differential input for the current limit comparator.  
SOFT START  
The power-on, ramp-up time of the output voltage is set with a  
capacitor and resistor in parallel from the DELAY pin to ground.  
The RC time constant also determines the current limit latch-  
off time as explained in the following section. In UVLO or  
when EN is logic low, the DELAY pin is held at ground. After  
the UVLO threshold is reached and EN is logic high, the  
DELAY capacitor is charged with an internal 20 µA current  
source. The output voltage follows the ramping voltage on the  
DELAY pin, limiting the inrush. The soft start time depends on  
To provide the best accuracy for sensing current, the CSA is  
designed to have a low offset input voltage. In addition, the  
sensing gain is determined by external resistors so that the gain  
can be made extremely accurate.  
CURRENT CONTROL MODE AND  
THERMAL BALANCE  
the value of CDLY, with a secondary effect from RDLY  
.
The ADP3182 has individual inputs for each phase that are used  
for monitoring the current in each phase. This information is  
combined with an internal ramp to create a current balancing  
feedback system, which has been optimized for initial current  
balance accuracy and dynamic thermal balancing during  
operation. This current balance information is independent of  
the average output current information used for the current  
limit described previously.  
If either EN is taken low or VCC drops below UVLO, the  
DELAY capacitor is reset to ground to prepare for another soft  
start cycle. Figure 6 shows a typical soft start sequence for the  
ADP3182.  
The magnitude of the internal ramp can be set to optimize the  
transient response of the system. It also monitors the supply  
voltage for feed-forward control to compensate for changes in  
the supply voltage. A resistor connected from the power input  
voltage to the RAMPADJ pin determines the slope of the  
internal PWM ramp. External resistors can be placed in series  
with individual phases to create, if desired, an intentional  
current imbalance such as when one phase may have better  
cooling and can support higher currents. Resistors RSW1 through  
RSW3 (see the typical application circuit in Figure 9) can be used  
for adjusting thermal balance. Add placeholders for these  
resistors during the initial layout so that adjustments can be made  
after completing thermal characterization of the design.  
Figure 6. Typical Start-Up Waveforms  
Channel 1: CSREF, Channel 2: DELAY,  
Channel 3: PWRGD, Channel 4: COMP  
To increase the current in any given phase, increase RSW for that  
phase (set RSW = 0 for the hottest phase and do not change it  
during balancing). Increasing RSW to only 500 substantially  
increases the phase current. Increase each RSW value by small  
amounts to achieve balance, starting with the coolest phase.  
CURRENT LIMIT, SHORT-CIRCUIT, AND  
LATCH-OFF PROTECTION  
The ADP3182 compares a programmable current limit setpoint  
to the voltage from the output of the current sense amplifier.  
The level of current limit is set with the resistor from the ILIMIT  
pin to ground. During normal operation, the voltage on ILIMIT  
is 3 V. The current through the external resistor is internally  
scaled to produce a current limit threshold of 10.4 mV/µA. If  
the difference in voltage between CSREF and CSCOMP rises  
above the current limit threshold, the internal current limit  
amplifier controls the internal COMP voltage to maintain the  
average output current at the limit.  
VOLTAGE CONTROL MODE  
A high gain-bandwidth voltage mode error amplifier is used for  
the voltage-mode control loop. The control input voltage to the  
positive input is derived from the internal 800 mV reference.  
The output of the amplifier is the COMP pin, which sets the  
termination voltage for the internal PWM ramps.  
The negative input (FB) is tied to the center point of a resistor  
divider from the output sense location. The main loop  
compensation is incorporated into the feedback network  
between FB and COMP.

ADP3182  
After the limit is reached, the 3 V pull-up on the DELAY pin is  
disconnected, and the external delay capacitor is discharged  
through the external resistor. A comparator monitors the DELAY  
voltage and shuts off the controller when the voltage drops  
below 1.8 V. The current limit latch-off delay time is therefore  
set by the RC time constant discharging from 3 V to 1.8 V.  
Typical overcurrent latch-off waveforms are shown in Figure 7.  
Because the controller continues to cycle the phases during the  
latch-off delay time, the controller returns to normal operation  
if the short is removed before the 1.8 V threshold is reached.  
The recovery characteristic depends on the state of PWRGD. If  
the output voltage is within the PWRGD window, the controller  
resumes normal operation. However, if a short circuit has  
caused the output voltage to drop below the PWRGD threshold,  
a soft start cycle is initiated.  
Figure 7. Overcurrent Latch-Off Waveforms  
Channel 1: CSREF, Channel 2: COMP,  
Channel 3: Phase 1 Switch Node, Channel 4: DELAY  
The latch-off function can be reset by either removing and  
reapplying VCC to the ADP3182, or by pulling the EN pin low  
for a short time. To disable the short-circuit latch-off function,  
the external resistor to ground should be left open, and a high-  
value (>1 M) resistor should be connected from DELAY to  
VCC. This prevents the DELAY capacitor from discharging, so  
the 1.8 V threshold is never reached. The resistor has an impact  
on the soft start time because the current through it adds to the  
internal 20 µA current source.  
During start-up when the output voltage is below 200 mV, a  
secondary current limit is active. This is necessary because the  
voltage swing of CSCOMP cannot go below ground. This  
secondary current limit controls the internal COMP voltage to  
the PWM comparators to 2 V. This limits the voltage drop  
across the low-side MOSFETs through the current balance  
circuitry.

Channel 1: CSREF, Channel 2: DELAY,  
Channel 3: PWRGD, Channel 4: COMP  
An inherent per phase current limit protects individual phases  
if one or more phases stop functioning because of a faulty  
component. This limit is based on the maximum normal mode  
COMP voltage.  
OUTPUT CROWBAR  
As part of the protection for the load and output components of  
the supply, the PWM outputs are driven low (turning on the  
low-side MOSFETs) when the output voltage exceeds the upper  
crowbar threshold. This crowbar action stops once the output  
voltage falls below the release threshold of approximately 650 mV.  
POWER GOOD MONITORING  
The power good comparator monitors the output voltage 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 nominal limits specified in the  
electrical table. PWRGD goes low if the output voltage is  
outside this specified range or the EN pin is pulled low. Figure 8  
shows the PWRGD output response when the input power is  
removed from the regulator.  
Turning on the low-side MOSFETs pulls down the output as the  
reverse current builds up in the inductors. If the output over-  
voltage is due to a short in the high-side MOSFET, this action  
limits the current of the input supply or blows the fuse to  
protect the microprocessor from being destroyed.

For the ADP3182 to begin switching, the input supply (VCC) to  
the controller must be higher than the UVLO threshold, and  
the EN pin must be higher than its logic threshold. If UVLO is  
less than the threshold or the EN pin is logic low, the ADP3182 is  
disabled. This holds the PWM outputs at ground, shorts the  
DELAY capacitor to ground, and holds the ILIMIT pin at ground.  
grounded disables the drivers such that both DRVH and DRVL  
are grounded. This feature is important in preventing the  
discharge of the output capacitors when the controller is shut  
off. If the driver outputs were not disabled, a negative voltage  
could be generated during output due to the high current  
discharge of the output capacitors through the inductors.

APPLICATIONS  
The design parameters for the typical high current point-of-  
load dc/dc buck converter shown in Figure 9 are as follows:

Input voltage (VIN) = 12 V  
VID setting voltage (VOUT) = 1.8 V  
Duty cycle (D) = 0.15  
where:  
tSS is the desired soft start time.  
Assuming an RDLY of 390 kΩ and a desired soft start time of 3  
ms, CDLY is 36 nF.  
The closest standard value for CDLY is 39 nF.  
Output current IO = 55 A  
Maximum output current (ILIM) = 110 A  
Number of phases (n) = 3

SETTING THE CLOCK FREQUENCY  
The ADP3182 uses a fixed-frequency control architecture. The  
frequency is set by an external timing resistor (RT). The clock  
frequency and the number of phases determine the switching  
frequency per phase, which relates directly to switching losses  
and the sizes of the inductors and the input and output  
capacitors. With n = 3 for three phases, a clock frequency of  
750 kHz sets the switching frequency (fSW) of each phase to  
250 kHz, which represents a practical trade-off between the  
switching losses and the sizes of the output filter components.  
Equation 1 shows that to achieve a 750 kHz oscillator frequency,  
the correct value for RT is 256 kΩ. Alternatively, the value for RT  
can be calculated using  
If the result for RDLY is less than 200 kΩ, a smaller soft start time  
should be considered by recalculating the equation for CDLY, or a  
longer latch-off time should be used. RDLY should never be less  
than 200 k. In this example, a delay time of 9 ms results in  
RDLY = 452 kΩ. The closest standard 5% value is 470 kΩ.  
INDUCTOR SELECTION  
The amount of inductance determines the ripple current in the  
inductor. Less inductance leads to more ripple current, which  
increases the output ripple voltage and conduction losses in the  
MOSFETs, but allows using smaller inductors and, for a  
specified peak- peak transient deviation, less total output  
capacitance. Conversely, a higher inductance means lower  
ripple current and reduced conduction losses, but requires  
larger inductors and more output capacitance for the same  
peak-peak transient deviation. In any multiphase converter, a  
practical value for the peak-peak inductor ripple current is less  
than 50% of the maximum dc current in the same inductor.  
Equation 4 shows the relationship between the inductance,  
oscillator frequency, and peak-peak ripple current in the  
inductor.

Because the soft start and current limit latch-off delay functions  
share the DELAY pin, these two parameters must be considered  
together. The first step is to set CDLY for the soft start ramp. This  
ramp is generated with a 20 µA internal current source. The  
value of RDLY has a second-order impact on the soft start time  
because it sinks part of the current source to ground. However,  
as long as RDLY is kept greater than 200 kΩ, this effect is minor.

If the resulting ripple voltage is too low, the level of inductance  
can be decreased until the desired ripple value is met. This  
allows optimal transient response and minimum output  
decoupling.

The smallest possible inductor should be used to minimize the  
number of output capacitors. For this example, choosing a  
600 nH inductor is a good starting point that produces a  
calculated ripple current of 6.6 A. The inductor should not  
saturate at the peak current of 21.6 A and should be able to  
handle the sum of the power dissipation caused by the average  
current of 18.3 A in the winding and core loss.

Another important factor in the inductor design is the DCR,  
which is used for measuring the phase currents. A large DCR  
can cause excessive power losses, whereas too small a value can  
lead to increased measurement error. For this design, a DCR of  
1.4 mwas chosen.  
www.vishay.com  
OUTPUT CURRENT SENSE  
The output current can be measured by summing the voltage  
across each inductor and passing the signal through a low-pass  
filter. The CS amplifier is configured with resistors RPH(X) (for  
summing the voltage), and RCS and CCS (for the low-pass filter).  
The output current IO is set by the following equations:  
Designing an Inductor  
Once the inductance and DCR are known, the next step is to  
either 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. Several possibilities for providing low core loss at  
high frequencies include the powder cores (e.g., Kool-Mµ® from  
Magnetics, Inc., or from Micrometals) and the gapped soft  
ferrite cores (e.g., 3F3 or 3F4 from Philips). Low frequency  
powdered iron cores should be avoided, especially when the  
inductor value is relatively low and the ripple current is high, due  
to their high core loss.

When load current reaches its limit, VDRP is at its maximum  
(VDRPMAX). VDRPMAX can be in the range of 100 to 200 mV. In this  
example, it is 110 mV.  
The best choice for a core geometry is a closed-loop type such  
as a potentiometer core, a PQ, U, or E core, or a toroid core. A  
good compromise between price and performance is a core with  
a toroidal shape.  
One has the flexibility of choosing either RCS or RPH(X). It is  
recommended to select RCS equal to 100 kΩ, and then solve for  
RPH(X) by rearranging Equation 6.  
Many useful references for magnetics design are available for  
quickly designing a power inductor, such as

RDS(SF) (per MOSFET) < 7.5 mΩ. This RDS(SF) is also at a junction  
temperature of about 120°C, so one must account for this when  
making this selection. This example uses a lower-side MOSFET  
with 4.8 mΩ at 120°C.  
The closest standard 1% value for RPH(X) is 140 k. Next, use  
Equation 7 to solve for CCS.

Another important factor for the synchronous MOSFET is the  
input capacitance and feedback capacitance. The ratio of  
feedback to input must be small (less than 10% is recom-  
mended) to prevent accidentally turning on the synchronous  
MOSFETs when the switch node goes high.  
Choose the closest standard value that is greater than the result  
given by Equation 7. This example uses a CCS value of 5.6 nF.  
OUTPUT VOLTAGE  
ADP3182 has an internal FBRTN voltage reference VREF of  
800 mV. The output voltage can be set up using a voltage  
divider made up of resistors RB1 and RB2:  
Also, the time to switch the synchronous MOSFETs off should  
not exceed the nonoverlap dead time of the MOSFET driver  
(40 ns typical for the ADP3418). The output impedance of the  
driver is approximately 2 Ω, and the typical MOSFET input gate  
resistances are about 1 Ω to 2 Ω; therefore, one should adhere to  
a total gate capacitance of less than 6000 pF. Because there are  
two MOSFETs in parallel, the input capacitance for each  
synchronous MOSFET should be limited to 3000 pF.

Rearranging Equation 8 to solve for RB2 using the ADP3182  
with an internal FB voltage of 800 mV and assuming a 1%, 1 kΩ  
resistor for RB1 yields  
The high-side (main) MOSFET must handle two main power  
dissipation components: conduction and switching losses. The  
switching loss is related to the amount of time for the main  
MOSFET to turn on and off, and to the current and voltage that  
are being switched. Basing the switching speed on the rise and  
fall time of the gate driver impedance and MOSFET input  
capacitance, the following expression provides an approximate  
value for the switching loss per main MOSFET:

POWER MOSFETS  
For this example, one high-side, N-channel power MOSFET  
and two low-side, N-channel power MOSFETs per phase have  
been selected. The main selection parameters for the power  
MOSFETs are VGS(TH), QG, CISS, CRSS, and RDS(ON). The minimum  
gate drive voltage (the supply voltage to the ADP3418) dictates  
whether standard threshold or logic-level threshold MOSFETs  
must be used. With VGATE ~10 V, logic-level threshold MOSFETs  
(VGS(TH) < 2.5 V) are recommended.

The maximum output current (IO) determines the RDS(ON)  
requirement for the low-side (synchronous) MOSFETs. With  
the ADP3182, currents are balanced between phases, thus the  
current in each low-side MOSFET is the output current divided  
by the total number of MOSFETs (nSF). With conduction losses  
being dominant, the following expression shows the total power  
being dissipated in each synchronous MOSFET in terms of the  
ripple current per phase (IR) and the average total output current  
(IO):  
Note that adding more main MOSFETs (nMF) does not help the  
switching loss per MOSFET because the additional gate  
capacitance slows switching. The most efficient way to reduce  
switching loss is to use lower gate capacitance devices.  
The conduction loss of the main MOSFET is given by the

Typically, for main MOSFETs, the highest speed (low CISS)  
device is preferred, but faster devices usually have higher on  
resistance. Select a device that meets the total power dissipation  
RDS(ON) for the MOSFET. For D-PAK MOSFETs up to an  
ambient temperature of 50°C, a safe limit for PSF is 1 W to 1.5 W  
at 120°C junction temperature. Therefore, for this example,

For this example, an NTD40N03L was selected as the main  
MOSFET (three total; nMF = 3), with a CISS = 584 pF (max) and  
RDS(MF) = 19 mΩ (max at TJ = 120°C), and an NTD110N02L was  
selected as the synchronous MOSFET (three total; nSF = 3), with

332 kΩ × 5 pF × 250 kHz  
CISS = 2710 pF (max) and RDS(SF) = 4.8 mΩ (max at TJ = 120°C).  
The synchronous MOSFET CISS is less than 3000 pF, satisfying  
that requirement. Solving for the power dissipation per MOSFET  
at IO = 55 A and IR = 6.6 A yields 894 mW for each synchronous  
MOSFET and 1.16 W for each main MOSFET. These numbers  
comply with the guideline to limit the power dissipation to  
around 1 W per MOSFET.  
The size of the internal ramp can be made larger or smaller. If it  
is made larger, stability and transient response improve, but  
thermal balance degrades. Likewise, if the ramp is made  
smaller, thermal balance improves but transient response and  
stability degrade. The factor of three in the denominator of  
Equation 13 sets a ramp size with optimal balance for good  
stability, transient response, and thermal balance.  
One last thing to consider is the power dissipation in the driver  
for each phase. This is best described in terms of the QG for the  
MOSFETs and is given by the following equation:  
CURRENT LIMIT SETPOINT  
To select the current limit setpoint, first find the resistor value  
for RLIM. The current limit threshold for the ADP3182 is set  
with a 3 V source (VLIM) across RLIM with a gain of 10.4 mV/µA  
(ALIM). RLIM can be found using

GMF is the total gate charge for each main MOSFET.  
GSF is the total gate charge for each synchronous MOSFET.  
For values of RLIM greater than 500 kΩ, the current limit may be  
lower than expected and therefore necessitate some adjustment of  
LIM. Here, ILIM is the average current limit for the output of the  
supply. In this example, using the VDRPMAX value of 110 mV from  
Equations 6 and 7 and choosing a peak current limit of 110 A  
for ILIM results in RLIM = 284 kΩ, for which 287 kΩ is chosen as  
the nearest 1% value.  
Also shown is the standby dissipation factor (ICC × VCC) for the  
driver. For the ADP3418, the maximum dissipation should be  
less than 400 mW. In this example, with ICC = 7 mA, QGMF  
9 nC, and QGSF = 46 nC, there is 165 mW in each driver, which  
is below the 400 mW dissipation limit. See the ADP3418 data  
sheet for more details.

RAMP RESISTOR SELECTION

output impedance, working in parallel with the output  
decoupling, will meet this goal. One will need to compensate for  
the several poles and zeros created by the output inductor and  
decoupling capacitors (output filter).

A type three compensator on the voltage feedback is adequate  
for proper compensation of the output filter. Equations 20 to 22  
are intended to yield an optimal starting point for the design;  
some adjustments may be necessary to account for PCB and  
component parasitic effects.  
INDUCTOR DCR TEMPERATURE CORRECTION  
With the inductor’s DCR being used as the sense element and  
copper wire being the source of the DCR, one needs to  
compensate for temperature changes in the inductors winding  
if a highly accurate safety current limit setpoint is desired.  
Fortunately, copper has a well-known temperature coefficient  
(TC) of 0.39%/°C.

If RCS is designed to have an opposite and equal percentage of

nature of NTC thermistors, resistors RCS1 and RCS2 are needed.

Figure 10. Temperature Compensation Circuit Values  
In continuous inductor current mode, the source current of the  
high-side MOSFET is approximately a square wave with a duty  
ratio equal to n × VOUT/VIN and an amplitude of one-nth 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 following procedures and expressions yield values to use  
for RCS1, RCS2, and RTH (the thermistor value at 25°C) for a given  
RCS value.  
1. Select an NTC based on type and value. Because we do not  
have a value yet, start with a thermistor with a value close  
to RCS. The NTC should also have an initial tolerance of  
better than 5%.

2. Based on the type of NTC, find its relative resistance value  
at two temperatures. The temperatures that work well are  
50°C and 90°C. These resistance values are called A  
(RTH(50°C)/RTH(25°C)) and B (RTH(90°C)/RTH(25°C)). Note that the  
NTCs relative value is always 1 at 25°C.

3. Find the relative value of RCS required for each of these  
temperatures. This is based on the percentage of change  
needed, which in this example is initially 0.39%/°C. These  
are called r1 (1/(1 + TC × (T1 − 25))) and r2 (1/(1 + TC ×  
(T2 − 25))), where TC = 0.0039 for copper. T1 = 50°C and  
T2 = 90°C are chosen. From this, one can calculate that r1 =  
0.9112 and r2 = 0.7978.  
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  
two 2,700 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitors and three  
4.7 µF ceramic capacitors.  
To reduce the input current di/dt to a level below the recom-  
mended maximum of 0.1 A/µs, an additional small inductor  
(L > 370 nH @ 10 A) can be inserted between the converter and  
the supply bus. That inductor also acts as a filter between the  
converter and the primary power source.

pins. The output capacitors should be connected as close as  
possible to the load or connector. If the load is distributed, the  
capacitors should also be distributed and generally be in pro-  
portion to where the load tends to be more dynamic. Avoid  
crossing any signal lines over the switching power path loop,  
described in the following section.

on the ratio of the actual thermistor value used relative to  
the computed one:  
Power Circuitry Recommendations  
To minimize radiated switching noise energy (i.e., EMI) and  
conduction losses in the board, the switching power path should  
be routed on the PCB to encompass the shortest possible length.  
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 and the power MOSFETs, including all inter-  
connecting PCB traces and planes. Using short and wide  
interconnection 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.

LAYOUT AND COMPONENT PLACEMENT  
The following guidelines are recommended for optimal  
performance of a switching regulator in a PC system.  
When a power-dissipating component, for example, 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 that extend to the opposite side of the  
PCB, where a plane can more readily transfer the heat to the air.  
To optimize thermal dissipation, make a mirror image of the  
pads in use to heat sink the MOSFETs on the opposite side of  
the PCB. To further improve thermal performance, use the  
largest possible pad area.  
General Recommendations  
For good results, a PCB with at least four layers is recommended.  
This should allow the needed versatility for control circuitry  
interconnections with optimal placement, power planes for  
ground, input and output power, and wide interconnection  
traces in the remainder of the power delivery current paths.  
Keep in mind that each square unit of 1 ounce copper trace  
has a resistance of ~0.53 mΩ at room temperature.  
When 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.  
The output power path should also be routed to encompass a  
short distance. The output power path is formed by the current  
path through the inductor, the output capacitors, and the load.  
If critical signal lines (including the output voltage sense lines of  
the ADP3182) must cross through power circuitry, a signal  
ground plane should be interposed between those signal lines  
and the traces of the power circuitry. This serves as a shield to  
minimize noise injection into the signals at the expense of  
making the signal ground a bit noisier.  
For best EMI containment, a solid power ground plane should  
be used as one of the inner layers, extending fully under all the  
power components.  
Signal Circuitry Recommendations  
The output voltage is sensed and regulated between the FB pin  
and the FBRTN pin, which connect to the signal ground at the  
load. To avoid differential mode noise pickup in the sensed signal,  
the loop area should be small. Therefore, the FB and FBRTN  
traces should be routed adjacent to each other on top of the  
power ground plane back to the controller. The feedback traces  
from the switch nodes should be connected as close as possible  
to the inductor. The CSREF signal should be connected to the  
output voltage at the nearest inductor to the controller.  
An analog ground plane should be used around and under the  
ADP3182 as a reference for the components associated with the  
controller. This plane should be tied to the nearest output de-  
coupling capacitor ground, but it should not be tied to any other  
power circuitry to prevent power currents from flowing in it.  
The components around the ADP3182 should be located close  
to the controller with short traces. The most important traces to
