EL7571C  
Programmable PWM Controller  
Features  
General Description  
• Pentium® II Compatible  
The EL7571C is a flexible, high efficiency, current mode, PWM step  
down controller. It incorporates five bit DAC adjustable output voltage  
control which conforms to the Intel Voltage Regulation Module (VRM)  
Specification for Pentium® II and Pentium® Pro class processors. The  
controller employs synchronous rectification to deliver efficiencies  
greater than 90% over a wide range of supply voltages and load condi-  
tions. The on-board oscillator frequency is externally adjustable, or may  
be slaved to a system clock, allowing optimization of RFI performance in  
critical applications. In single supply operation, the high side FET driver  
supports boot-strapped operation. For maximum flexibility, system oper-  
ation is possible from either a 5V rail, a single 12V rail, or dual supply  
rails with the controller operating from 12V and the power FETs from  
5V.

Applications Information  
Circuit Description  
General  
sating ramp signals together. The relative gains of the  
comparator input stages are weighed. The ratio of volt-  
age feedback to current feedback to compensating ramp  
defines the load regulation and open loop voltage gain  
for the system, respectively. The compensating ramp is  
required to maintain large system signal system stability  
for PWM duty cycles greater than 50%. Compensation  
ramp amplitude is user adjustable and is set with a single  
external capacitor (CSLOPE). The ramp voltage is  
ground referenced and is reset to ground whenever the  
high side drive signal is low. In operation, the DAC out-  
put voltage is compared to the regulator output, which  
has been internally attenuated. The resulting error volt-  
age is compared with the compensating ramp and  
current feedback voltage. PWM duty cycle is adjusted  
by the comparator output such that the combined com-  
parator input sums to zero. A weighted comparator  
scheme enhances system operation over traditional volt-  
age error amplifier loops by providing cycle-by-cycle  
adjustment of the PWM output voltage, eliminating the  
need for error amplifier compensation. The dominant  
pole in the loop is defined by the output capacitance and  
equivalent load resistance, the effect of the output induc-  
tor having been canceled due to the current feedback. An  
output enable (OUTEN) input allows the regulator out-  
put to be disabled by an external logic control signal.  
The EL7571C is a fixed frequency, current mode, pulse  
width modulated (PWM) controller with an integrated  
high precision reference and a 5 bit Digital-to-Analog  
Converter (DAC). The device incorporates all the active  
circuitry required to implement a synchronous step  
down (buck) converter which conforms to the Intel Pen-  
tium® II VRM specification. Complementary switching  
outputs are provided to drive dual NMOS power FET’s  
in either synchronous or non-synchronous configura-  
tions, enabling the user to realize a variety of high  
efficiency and low cost converters.  
Reference  
A precision, temperature compensated band gap refer-  
ence forms the basis of the EL7571C. The reference is  
trimmed during manufacturing and provides 1% set  
point accuracy for the overall regulator. AC rejection of  
the reference is optimized using an external bypass  
capacitor CREF  
.
Main Loop  
A current mode PWM control loop is implemented in  
the EL7571C (see block diagram). This configuration  
employs dual feedback loops which provide both output  
voltage and current feedback to the controller. The  
resulting system offers several advantages over traditi-  
tional voltage control systems, including simpler loop  
design, pulse by pulse current limiting, rapid response to  
line variaion and good load step response. Current feed-  
back is performed by sensing voltage across an external  
shunt resistor. Selection of the shunt resistance value  
sets the level of current feedback and thereby the load  
regulation and current limit levels. Consequently, opera-  
tion over a wide range of output currents is possible. The  
reference output is fed to a 5 bit DAC with step weigh-  
ing conforming to the Intel VRM Specification. Each  
DAC input includes an internal current pull up which  
directly interfaces to the VID output of a Pentium® II  
class microprocessor. The heart of the controller is a tri-  
ple-input direct summing differential comparator, which  
sums voltage feedback, current feedback and compen-  
Auxiliary Comparators  
The current feedback signal is monitored by two addi-  
tional comparators which set the operating limits for the  
main inductor current. An over current comparator ter-  
minates the PWM cycle independently of the main  
summing comparator output whenever the voltage  
across the sense resistor exceeds 154mV. For a 7.5mW  
resistor this corresponds to a nominal 20A current limit.  
Since output current is continuously monitored, cycle-  
by-cycle current limiting results. A second comparator  
senses inductor current reverse flow. The low side drive  
signal is terminated when the sense resistor voltage is  
less than -5mV, corresponding to a nominal reverse cur-  
rent of -0.67A, for a 7.5mW sense resistor. Additionally,  
under fault conditions, with the regulator output over-  
7
EL7571C  
Programmable PWM Controller  
voltage, inductor current is prevented from ramping to a  
high level in the reverse direction. This prevents the par-  
asitic boost action of the local power supply when the  
fault is removed and potential damage to circuitry con-  
nected to the local supply.  
voltage differs from it’s selected value by more than  
±13%. PWRGD is an open drain output. A third watch-  
dog function disables PWM output switching during  
over-voltage fault conditions, displaying both external  
FET drives, whenever the output voltage is greater than  
13% of its selected value, thereby anticipating reverse  
inductor current ramping and conforming to the VRM  
over-voltage specification, which requires the regulator  
output to be disabled during fault conditions. Switching  
is enabled after the fault condition is removed.  
Oscillator  
A system clock is generated by an internal relaxation  
oscillator. Operating frequency is simple to adjust using  
a single external capacitor COSC. The ratio of charge to  
discharge current in the oscillator is well defined and  
sets the maximum duty cycle for the system at around  
96%.  
Output Drivers  
Complementary control signals developed by the PWM  
control loop are fed to dual NMOS power FET drivers  
via a level shift circuit. Each driver is capable of deliver-  
ing nominal peak output currents of 2A at 12V. To  
prevent shoot-through in the external FET’s, each driver  
is disabled until the gate voltage of the complementary  
power FET has fallen to less than 1V. Supply connec-  
tions for both drivers are independent, allowing the  
controller to be configured with a boot-strapped high  
side drive. Employing this technique a single supply  
voltage may be used for both power FET’s and control-  
ler. Alternatively, the application may be simplified  
using dual supply rails with the power FET’s connected  
to a secondary supply voltage below the controller’s,  
typically 12V and 5V. For applications where efficiency  
is less important than cost, applications can be further  
simplified by replacing the low side power FET with a  
Schottky diode, resulting in non-synchronous operation.  
Soft-start  
During start-up, potentially large currents can flow into  
the regulator output capacitors due to the fast rate of  
change of output voltage caused during start-up,  
although peak inrush current will be limited by the over  
current comparator. However an additionally internal  
switch capacitor soft-start circuit controls the rate of  
change of output voltage during start-up by overriding  
the voltage feedback input of the main summing com-  
parator, limiting the start-up ramp to around 1ms under  
typical operating conditions. The soft-start ramp is reset  
whenever the output enable (OUTEN) is reset or when-  
ever the controller supply falls below 3.5V.  
Watchdog  
A system watchdog monitors the condition of the con-  
troller supply and the integrity of the generated output  
voltage. Modern logic level power FET’s rapidly  
increase in resistivity (Rdson) as their gate drive is  
reduced below 5V. To prevent thermal damage to the  
power FET’s under load, with a reduced supply voltage,  
the system watchdog monitors the controller supply  
(VIN) and disables both PWM outputs (HSD, LSD)  
when the supply voltage drops below 3.5V. When the  
supply voltage is increased above 4V the watchdog ini-  
tiates a soft-start ramp and enables PWM operation. The  
difference between enable and disable thresholds intro-

The EL7571C may be used in a number converter topol-

Circuit schematics and Bills of Material (BOMs) for the  
various topologies are provided at the end of this data  
sheet. If your application requirements differ from the  
included samples, the following design guide lines  
should be used to select the key component values.  
Refer to the front page connection diagram for compo-  
nent locations.  
where:  
IPEAK = peak ripple current  
TON = top switch on time  
VIN = input voltage  
FSW = switching frequency  
VOUT = output voltage  
IMIN = minimum load  
Output Inductor, L1  
Two key converter requirements are used to determine  
inductor value:  
Since inductance value tends to decrease with current,  
ripple current will generally be greater than 21MIN at  
higher output current.  
• IMIN- minimum output current; the current level at  
which the converter enters the discontinuous mode of  
operation (refer to Elantec application note #18 for a  
detailed discussion of discontinuous mode)  
Once the minimum output inductance is determined, an  
off the shelf inductor with current rating greater than the  
maximum DC output required can be selected. Pulse  
Engineering and Coil Craft are two manufactures of  
high current inductors. For converter designers who  
want to design their own high current inductors, for  
experimental purposes or to further reduce costs, we rec-  
ommend the Micrometals Powered Iron Cores data  
sheet and applications note as a good reference and start-  
ing point.  
• IMAX- maximum output current  
Although many factors influence the choice of the  
inductor value, including efficiency, transient response  
and ripple current, one practical way of sizing the induc-  
tor is to select a value which maintains continuous mode  
operation, i.e. inductor current positive for all condi-  
tions. This is desirable to optimize load regulation and  
light load transient response. When the minimum induc-  
tor ripple current just reaches zero and with the mean  
ripple current set to IMIN, peak inductor ripple current is  
twice IMAX, independent of duty cycle. The minimum  
inductor value is given by:  
Current Sense Resistor, R1  
Inductor current is monitored indirectly via a low value  
resistor R1. The voltage developed across the current  
sense resistor is used to set the maximum operating cur-  
rent, the current reversal threshold and the system load  
regulation. To ensure reliable system operation it is  
important to sense the actual voltage drop across the  
resistor. Accordingly a four wire Kelvin connection  
should be made to the controller current sense inputs.

EL7571C  
Programmable PWM Controller  
There are two criteria for selecting the resistor value and  
type. Firstly, the minimum value is limited by the maxi-  
mum output current. The EL7571C current limit  
capacitor has a typical threshold of 154mV, 125mV  
minimum. When the voltage across the sense resistor  
exceeds this threshold, the conduction cycle of the top  
switch terminates immediately, providing pulse by pulse  
current limiting. A resistor value must be selected which  
guarantees operation under maximum load. That is:  
where:  
PD = power dissipated in current sense resistor  
PD must be less than the power rating of the current  
sense resistor. High current applications may require  
parallel sense resistors to dissipate sufficient power.  
Current Sense Resistor Table below lists some popular  
current sense resistors: the WLS-2512 series of Power  
Metal Strip Resistors from Dale Electronics, OARS  
series Iron Alloy resistor from IRC, and Copper Magna-  
nin (CuNi) wire resistor from Mills Resistors. Mother  
board copper trace is not recommended because of its  
high temperature coefficient and low power dissipation.  
The trade-off between the different types of resistors are  
cost, space, packaging and performance. Although  
Power Metal Strip Resistors are relatively expensive,  
they are available in surface mount packaging with  
tighter tolerances. Consequently, less board space is  
used to achieve a more accurate current sense. Alterna-  
tively, Magnanin copper wire has looser tolerance and  
higher parasitic inductance. This results in a less current  
sense but at a much lower cost. Metal track on the PCB  
can also be used as current sense resistor. The trade-offs  
are ±30% tolerance and ±4000 ppm temperature coeffi-  
cient. Ultimately, the selection of the type of current  
sense element must be made on an application by appli-  
cation basis.

where:  
VOCMIN = minimum over current voltage threshold  
IMAX = maximum output current  
Secondly, since the load current passes directly through  
the sense resistor, its power rating must be sufficient to  
handle the power dissipated during maximum load (cur-  
rent limit) conditions. Thus:

cause premature failure. Maximum input ripple current  
occurs when the duty cycle is 50%, a current of Iout/2  
RMS.  
Input Capacitor, C1  
In a buck converter, where the output current is greater  
than 10A, significant demand is placed on the input  
capacitor. Under steady state operation, the high side  
FET conducts only when it is switched “on” and con-  
ducts zero current when it is turned “off”. The result is a  
current square wave drawn from the input supply. Most  
of this input ripple current is supplied from the input  
capacitor C1. The current flow through C1’s equivalent  
series resistance (ESR) can heat up the capacitor and

For safe and reliable operation, PD must be less than the  
capacitor’s data sheet rating.  
ESL = output capacitor ESL  
DIOUT = output current step  
Input Inductor, L2  
di/dt = rate of change of output current  
The input inductor (L2) isolates switching noise from  
the input supply line by diverting buck converter input  
ripple current into the input capacitor. Buck regulators  
generate high levels of input ripple current because the  
load is connected directly to the supply through the top  
switch every cycle, chopping the input current between  
the load current and zero, in proportion to the duty cycle.  
The input inductor is critical in high current applications  
where the ripple current is similarly high. An exclu-  
sively large input inductor degrades the converter’s load  
transient response by limiting the maximum rate of  
change of current at the converter input. A 1.5µH input  
inductor is sufficient in most applications.  
Power MOSFET, Q1 and Q2  
The EL7571C incorporates a boot-strap gate drive  
scheme to allow the usage of N-channel MOSFETs. N-  
channel MOSFETs are preferred because of their rela-  
tive low cost and low on resistance. The largest amount  
of the power loss occurs in the power MOSFETs, thus  
low on resistance should be the primary characteristic  
when selecting power MOSFETs. In the boot-strap gate  
drive scheme, the gate drive voltage can only go as high  
as the supply voltage, therefore in a 5V system, the  
MOSFETs must be logic level type, Vgs<4.5V. In addi-  
tion to on resistance and gate to source threshold, the  
gate to source capacitance is also very important. In the  
region when the output current is low (below5A),  
switching loss is the dominant factor. Switching loss is  
determined by:  
Output Capacitor, C2  
During steady state operation, output ripple current is  
much less than the input ripple current since current flow  
is continuous, either via the top switch or the bottom  
switch. Consequently, output capacitor power dissipa-  
tion is less of a concern than the input capacitor’s.  
However, low ESR is still required for applications with  
very low output ripple voltage or transient response  
requirements. Output ripple voltage is given by:

P = C ´ V ´ F  
where:  
C is the gate to source capacitance of the MOSFET  
V is the supply voltage  
V
= I  
´ ESR  
RIP OUT  
RIP  
F is the switching frequency  
Another undesirable reason for a large MOSFET gate to  
source capacitance is that the on resistance of the MOS-  
FET driver can not supply the peak current required to  
turn the MOSFET on and off fast. This results in addi-  
tional MOSFET conduction loss. As frequency  
increases, this loss also increases which leads to more  
power loss and lower efficiency.  
where:  
IRIP = output ripple current  
ESROUT = output capacitor ESR  
During a transient response, the output voltage spike is  
determined by the ESR and the equivalent series induc-  
tance (ESL) of the output capacitor in addition to the rate  
of change and magnitude of the load current step. The  
output voltage transient is given by:  
Finally, the MOSFET must be able to conduct the maxi-  
mum current and handle the power dissipation.  
The EL7571C is designed to boot-strap to 12V for 12V  
only input converters. In this application, logic level  
MOSFETs are not required.

PCB Layout Considerations  
1. Place the power MOSFET’s as close to the con-  
troller as possible. Failure to do so will cause  
large amounts of ringing due to the parasitic  
inductance of the copper trace. Additionally, the  
parasitic capacitance of the trace will weaken the  
effective gate drive. High frequency switching  
noise may also couple to other control lines.  
4. Connect the power and signal grounds at the out-  
put capacitors. Output capacitor ground is the  
quietest point in the converter and should be  
used as the reference ground.  
5. The power MOSFET’s output inductor and  
Schottky diode should be grouped together to  
contain high switching noise in the smallest area.  
2. Always place the by-pass capacitors (0.1µF and  
1µF) as close to the EL7571C as possible. Long  
lead lengths will lessen the effectiveness.  
6. Current sense traces running from pin 11 and pin  
12 to the current sense resistor should run paral-  
lel and close to each other and be Kelvin  
connected (no high current flow). In high current  
applications performance can be improved by  
connecting low Pass filter (typical values 4.7W,  
0.1µF) between the sense resistor and the IC  
inputs.  
3. Separate the power ground (input capacitor  
ground and ground connections of the Schottky  
diode and the power MOSFET’s) and signal  
grounds (ground pins of the by-pass capacitors  
and ground terminals of the EL7571C). This will  
isolate the highly noisy switching ground from  
the very sensitive signal ground.
