APW7088  
Two-Phase Buck PWM Controller with Integrated MOSFET Drivers  
Features  
General Description  
·
Voltage-Mode Operation with Current Sharing  
The APW7088, two-phase PWM control IC, provides a  
precision voltage regulation system for advanced graphic  
microprocessors in graphics card applications. The inte-  
gration of power MOSFET drivers into the controller IC  
reduces the number of external parts for a cost and space  
saving power management solution.  
- Adjustable Feedback Compensation  
- Fast Load Transient Response  
·
·
Operate with 8V~13.2VCC Supply Voltage  
Programmable 3-Bit DAC Reference  
-±1.5% System Accuracy Over Temperature  
Support Single- and Two-Phase Operations  
5V Linear Regulator Output on 5VCC  
The APW7088 uses a voltage-mode PWM architecture,  
operating with fixed-frequency, to provides excellent load  
transient response. The device uses the voltage across  
the DCRs of the inductors for current sensing. Load line  
voltage positioning (DROOP), channel-current balance  
and over-current protection are accomplished through  
continuous inductor DCR current sensing.

8~12V Gate Drivers with Internal Bootstrap Diode  
Lossless Inductor DCR Current Sensing  
Fixed 300kHz Operating Frequency Per Phase  
Power-OK Indicator Output  
- Regulated 1.5V on POK  
The MODE pin programs single- or two- phase operation.  
When IC operates in two-phase mode normally, it can  
transfer two-phase mode to single phase mode at liberty.  
Nevertheless, once operates in single-phase mode, the  
operation mode is latched. It is required to toggle SS or  
5VCC pin to reset the IC. Such feature of the MODE pin  
makes the APW7088 ideally suitable for dual power input  
applications, such as PCIE interfaced graphic cards.

Adjustable Over-Current Protection (OCP)  
Accurate Load Line (DROOP) Programming  
Adjustable Soft-Start  
Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)  
Under-Voltage Protection (UVP)  
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)  
QFN4x4 24-Lead Package (QFN4x4-24)  
Lead Free and Green Devices Available  
(RoHS Compliant)  
This control IC‘s protection features include a set of so-  
phisticated over temperature, over-voltage, under-voltage,  
and over-current protections. Over-voltage results in the  
converter turning the lower MOSFETs on to clamp the  
rising output voltage and protects the microprocessor.  
The over-current protection level is set through external  
resistors. The device also provides a power-on-reset func-  
tion and a programmable soft-start to prevent wrong op-  
eration and limit the input surge current during power-on  
or start-up.

APW7088  
Function Description  
When soft-start is initiated, the internal 10mA current  
source starts to charge the capacitor. When the soft-start  
voltage across the soft-start capacitor reaches the en-  
abled threshold about 0.8V (VSS_VT), the internal reference  
starts to rise and follows the soft-start voltage with con-  
verter operating at fixed 300kHz PWM switching  
frequency. When output voltage rises up to 87.5% of  
the regulation voltage, the power-ok is enabled. The soft-  
start time (from the moment of enabling the IC to the  
moment when VPOK goes high) can be expressed as  
below :  
5VCC Linear Regulator  
5VCC is the output terminal of the internal 5V linear  
regulator which regulates a 5V voltage on 5VCC by  
controlling an internal bypass transistor between VCC  
and 5VCC. The linear regulator powers the internal  
control circuitry and is stable with a low-ESR ceramic  
output capacitor. Bypass 5VCC to GND with a ceramic  
capacitor of at least 1mF. Place the capacitor physically  
close to the IC to provide good noise decoupling. The  
linear regulator can also provide output current, up to  
20mA, for external loads. The linear regulator with current-  
limit protection can protect itself during over-load or short-  
circuit conditions on 5VCC pin.  
CSS ´ (VSS _ VT + VDAC´ 0.875)  
TSS =  
ISS  
where  
The 5VCC linear regulator stop regulating in Over-Tem-  
perature Protection. When the junction temperature is  
cooled by 50oC, the 5VCC linear regulator starts to regu-  
late the output voltage again.  
CSS= external soft-start capacitor  
VSS_VT= internal soft start threshold voltage, is about  
0.8V  
VDAC= Internal digital VID programmable reference  
voltage  
5VCC Power-On-Reset (POR)  
Figure 1 shows the power sequence. The APW7088  
keeps monitoring the voltage on 5VCC pin to prevent  
wrong logic operations which may occur when 5VCC  
voltage is not high enough for the internal control cir-  
cuitry to operate. The 5VCC POR has a rising thresh-  
old of 4.6V (typical) with 0.58V of hysteresis. After the  
5VCC voltage exceeds its rising Power-On-Reset  
(POR) voltage threshold, the IC starts a start-up pro-  
cess and then ramps up the output voltage to the setting  
of output voltage. The 5VCC POR signal resets the  
fault latch, set by the undervoltage or over-current event,  
when the signal is at low level.  
ISS= soft-start current=10mA  
During soft-start stage, the under-voltage protection is  
inhibited. However, the over-voltage and over-current pro-  
tection functions are enabled. If the output capacitor has  
residue voltage before startup, both lower and upper  
MOSFETs are in off-state until the internal soft-start volt-  
age equals the FB pin voltage. This will ensure the out-  
put voltage starts from its existing voltage level.  
Operation Phase Selection  
The MODE pin programs single- or two- phase operation.  
It has a typical value for rising threshold of 0.8V, VMODE_THR  
,
with 0.16V of hysteresis (0.64V), VMODE_THF. When the MODE  
pin voltage is higher than the VMODE_THR, the device oper-  
ates in single-phase; when the MODE pin voltage is lower  
than VMODE_THF and VIN2 supply voltage is above approxi-  
mate 4V, the device operates in two-phase operation.  
This function makes the APW7088 ideally suitable for  
dual power input applications like PCIE interfaced graphic  
cards.

rent protection responds, the output voltage will fall  
out of the required regulation range. The under-voltage  
continually monitors the VFB voltage after soft-start is  
completed. If a load step is strong enough to pull the  
output voltage lower than the under-voltage threshold,  
the IC shuts down converter’s output. Cycling the 5VCC  
POR resets the fault latch and starts a start-up process.  
The under-voltage threshold is 50% of the nominal out-  
put voltage. The under-voltage comparator has a built-in  
2ms noise filter to prevent the chips from wrong UVP  
shutdown being caused by noise.  
the socket before start-up, the internal VIN2 sensing circuit  
can sense the absence of VIN2 and set the IC to operate in  
single-phase mode with PWM2 disabled. When the IC  
operates in two-phase mode, it can switch the operating  
mode from two-phase to single-phase operation. Once  
operating in single-phase mode, the operation mode is  
latched. It is required to toggle SS or 5VCC pin to reset  
the IC.

The over-voltage protection function monitors the output  
voltage through FB pin. When the FB voltage increases  
over 125% of the reference voltage (VR) due to the high-  
side MOSFET failure or other reasons, the over-voltage  
protection comparator designed with a 2ms noise filter  
will force the low-side MOSFET gate drivers high. This  
action actively pulls down the output voltage and eventu-  
ally attempts to trigger the over-current shutdown of an  
ATX power supply. As soon as the output voltage is within  
regulation, the OVP comparator is disengaged. The chip  
will restore its normal operation. When the OVP occurs,  
the POK will drop to low as well.

This OVP scheme only clamps the voltage overshoot

The APW7088 is a two-phase PWM controller; therefore,  
the IC has two sensed current parts, ICS1 and ICS2. When  
ICS1 plus ICS2 is greater than 120mA, the over current occurs.  
In over-current protection, the IC shuts off the converter  
and then initials a new soft-start process. After 3 over-  
current events are counted, the device turns off both high-  
side and low-side MOSFETs and the converter’s output  
is latched to be floating.  
Figure 4. Illustration of Droop Setting Function  
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)  
When the junction temperature increases above the ris-  
ing threshold temperature TOTR, the IC will enter the over-  
temperature protection state that suspends the PWM,  
which forces the LGATE and UGATE gate drivers to out-  
put low voltages and turns off the 5VCC linear regulator  
output. The thermal sensor allows the converters to start  
a start-up process and regulate the output voltage again  
after the junction temperature cools by 50oC. The OTP is  
designed with a 50oC hysteresis to lower the average TJ  
during continuous thermal overload conditions, which  
increases lifetime of the APW7088.  
Current Sharing  
The APW7088 uses inductor’s DCRs and external net-  
works to sense the both currents flowing through the in-  
ductors of the PWM1 and PWM2 channels. The current  
sharing circuit, with closed-loop control, uses the sensed  
currents to adjust the two-phase inductor currents. For  
example, if the sensed current of PWM1 is bigger than  
PWM2, the duty of PWM1 will decrease and the duty of  
PWM2 will increase. Then, the device will reduce IL1  
current and increase IL2 current for current sharing.

In some high current applications, a requirement on  
precisely controlled output impedance is imposed. This  
dependence of output voltage on load current is often  
termed droop regulation.  
As shown in figure 4, the droop control block gener-  
ates a voltage through external resistor RDROOP, then  
set the droop voltage. The droop voltage, VDROOP, is  
proportional to the total current in two channels. As  
the following equation shows,  
VDROOP = 0.05´ [(ICS1 +ICS2)´ RDROOP]  
The VDROOP voltage is used the regulator to adjust the out-  
put voltage so that it’s equal to the reference voltage mi-  
nus the droop voltage.

double pole, which contributes with -40dB/decade gain  
slope and 180 degrees phase shift in the control loop. A  
compensation network among COMP, FB, and VOUT  
should be added. The compensation network is shown  
in Figure 8. The output LC filters consists of the

8´ COUT ´ FSW  
For two-phase converter, the inductor value (L) determines  
the sum of the two inductor ripple currents, DIP-P, and af-  
fects the load transient reponse. Higher inductor value  
reduces the output capacitors’ ripple current and induces  
lower output ripple voltage. The ripple current can be  
approxminated by :  
DVESR = DIP - P ´ RESR  
These two components constitute a large portion of the  
total output voltage ripple. In some applications, multiple  
capacitors have to be parallelled to achieve the desired  
ESR value. If the output of the converter has to support  
another load with high pulsating current, more capaci-  
tors are needed in order to reduce the equivalent ESR  
and suppress the voltage ripple to a tolerable level. A  
small decoupling capacitor in parallel for bypassing the  
noise is also recommended, and the voltage rating of the  
output capacitors must also be considered.

Where FSW is the switching frequency of the regulator.  
Although the inductor value and frequency are increased  
and the ripple current and voltage are reduced, a tradeoff  
exists between the inductor’s ripple current and the regu-  
lator load transient response time.  
To support a load transient that is faster than the switch-  
ing frequency, more capacitors are needed for reducing  
the voltage excursion during load step change. For get-  
ting same load transient response, the output capaci-  
tance of two-phase converter only needs around half of  
output capacitance of single-phase converter.  
A smaller inductor will give the regulator a faster load  
transient response at the expense of higher ripple current.  
Increasing the switching frequency (FSW) also reduces  
the ripple current and voltage, but it will increase the  
switching loss of the MOSFETs and the power dissipa-  
tion of the converter. The maximum ripple current occurs  
at the maximum input voltage. A good starting point is to  
choose the ripple current to be approximately 30% of the  
maximum output current. Once the inductance value has  
been chosen, select an inductor that is capable of carry-  
ing the required peak current without going into saturation.  
In some types of inductors, especially core that is made  
of ferrite, the ripple current will increase abruptly when it  
saturates. This results in a larger output ripple voltage.  
Another aspect of the capacitor selection is that the total  
AC current going through the capacitors has to be less  
than the rated RMS current specified on the capacitors in  
order to prevent the capacitor from over-heating.  
Input Capacitor Selection  
Use small ceramic capacitors for high frequency  
decoupling and bulk capacitors to supply the surge cur-  
rent needed each time high-side MOSFET turns on. Place  
the small ceramic capacitors physically close to the  
MOSFETs and between the drain of high-side MOSFET  
and the source of low-side MOSFET.  
Output Capacitor Selection  
Output voltage ripple and the transient voltage deviation  
are factors that have to be taken into consideration when  
selecting output capacitors. Higher capacitor value and  
lower ESR reduce the output ripple and the load tran-  
sient drop. Therefore, selecting high performance low  
ESR capacitors is recommended for switching regulator  
applications. In addition to high frequency noise related  
to MOSFET turn-on and turn-off, the output voltage ripple  
includes the capacitance voltage drop DVCOUT and ESR  
voltage drop DVESR caused by the AC peak-to-peak sum  
The important parameters for the bulk input capacitor are  
the voltage rating and the RMS current rating. For reliable  
operation, select the bulk capacitor with voltage and cur-  
rent ratings above the maximum input voltage and larg-  
est RMS current required by the circuit. The capacitor volt-  
age rating should be at least 1.25 times greater than the  
maximum input voltage and a voltage rating of 1.5 times  
is a conservative guideline. For two-phase converter, the  
RMS current of the bulk input capacitor is roughly calcu-  
lated as the following equation:

For a through hole design, several electrolytic capacitors

cised with regard to the capacitor surge current rating.  
D is the duty cycle  
Note that both MOSFETs have conduction losses while  
the high-side MOSFET includes an additional transi-  
tion loss. The switching interval, tSW, is the function of  
the reverse transfer capacitance CRSS. The (1+TC) term is  
a factor in the temperature dependency of the RDS(ON) and  
can be extracted from the “RDS(ON) vs. Temperature” curve  
of the power MOSFET.  
MOSFETSelection  
The APW7088 requires two N-Channel power MOSFETs  
on each phase. These should be selected based upon  
RDS(ON), gate supply requirements, and thermal manage-  
ment requirements.  
In high-current applications, the MOSFET power  
dissipation, package selection, and heatsink are the domi-  
nant design factors. The power dissipation includes two  
loss components, conduction loss and switching loss.  
The conduction losses are the largest component of  
power dissipation for both the high-side and the low-  
side MOSFETs. These losses are distributed between  
the two MOSFETs according to duty factor (see the equa-  
tions below). Only the high-side MOSFET has switching  
losses since the low-side MOSFETs body diode or an  
external Schottky rectifier across the lower MOSFET  
clamps the switching node before the synchronous rec-  
tifier turns on. These equations assume linear voltage-  
current transitions and do not adequately model power  
loss due the reverse-recovery of the low-side MOSFET  
body diode. The gate-charge losses are dissipated by  
the APW7088 and don’t heat the MOSFETs. However,  
large gate-charge increases the switching interval, tSW  
which increases the high-side MOSFET switching  
losses. Ensure that all MOSFETs are within their maxi-  
mum junction temperature at high ambient temperature  
by calculating the temperature rise according to package  
thermal-resistance specifications. A separate heatsink  
may be necessary depending upon MOSFET power,  
package type, ambient temperature, and air flow.  
Layout Consideration  
In any high switching frequency converter, a correct layout  
is important to ensure proper operation of the regulator.  
With power devices switching at higher frequency, the  
resulting current transient will cause voltage spike across  
the interconnecting impedance and parasitic circuit  
elements. As an example, consider the turn-off transition  
of the PWM MOSFET. Before turn-off condition, the  
MOSFET is carrying the full load current. During turn-off,  
current stops flowing in the MOSFET and is freewheeling  
by the low side MOSFET and parasitic diode. Any parasitic  
inductance of the circuit generates a large voltage spike  
during the switching interval. In general, using short, wide  
printed circuit traces should minimize interconnecting im-  
pedances and the magnitude of voltage spike. Besides,  
signal and power grounds are to be kept separating and  
finally combined using ground plane construction or  
single point grounding. The best tie-point between the  
signal ground and the power ground is at the negative  
side of the output capacitor on each channel, where there  
is less noise. Noisy traces beneath the IC are not  
recommended. Figure 10. illustrates the layout, with bold  
lines indicating high current paths; these traces must be  
short and wide. Components along the bold lines should  
be placed lose together. Below is a checklist for your  
layout :  
For the high-side and low-side MOSFETs, the losses are  
approximately given by the following equations:  
Phigh-side = IOUT 2(1+ TC)(RDS(ON))D + (0.5)( IOUT)(V )( tSW)FSW  
IN  
Plow-side = IOUT 2(1+ TC)(RDS(ON))(1-D)

·
Keep the switching nodes (UGATEx, LGATEx, BOOTx,  
and PHASEx) away from sensitive small signal nodes  
since these nodes are fast moving signals. Therefore,  
keep traces to these nodes as short as possible and  
there should be no other weak signal traces in paral-  
lel with theses traces on any layer.

The signals going through theses traces have both  
high dv/dt and high di/dt with high peak charging and  
discharging current. The traces from the gate drivers  
to the MOSFETs (UGATEx, LGATEx) should be short  
and wide.

Place the source of the high-side MOSFET and the  
drain of the low-side MOSFET as close as possible.  
Minimizing the impedance with wide layout plane be-  
tween the two pads reduces the voltage bounce of  
the node. In addition, the large layout plane between  
the drain of the MOSFETs (VIN and PHASEx nodes)  
can get better heat sinking.

For experiment result of accurate current sensing, the

close to the inductor part. To avoid the noise  
interference, the current sensing trace should be away  
from the noisy switching nodes.

·
Decoupling capacitors, the resistor-divider, and boot  
capacitor should be close to their pins. (For example,  
place the decoupling ceramic capacitor close to the  
drain of the high-side MOSFET as close as possible).  
The input bulk capacitors should be close to the drain  
of the high-side MOSFET, and the output bulk capaci-  
tors should be close to the loads. The input capaci-  
tor’s ground should be close to the grounds of the  
output capacitors and low-side MOSFET.

Locate the resistor-divider close to the FB pin to mini-  
mize the high impedance trace. In addition, FB pin  
traces can’t be close to the switching signal traces  
(UGATEx, LGATEx, BOOTx, and PHASEx).
