XPHASE3TM PHASE IC
DESCRIPTION
The IR3529 Phase IC combined with an IR XPhase3TM Control IC provides a full featured and flexible way to
implement power solutions for the latest high performance CPUs and ASICs. The “Control” IC provides overall
system control and interfaces with any number of “Phase” ICs which each drive and monitor a single phase of a
multiphase converter. The XPhase3TM architecture results in a power supply that is smaller, less expensive, and
easier to design while providing higher efficiency than conventional approaches.
The IR3529 provides two types of current sense outputs; ILL which contains average power supply current,
information which can be used for voltage positioning and ISHARE which contains average active phase current
information since current sense amplifiers of respective phases are disabled when in power savings mode. Higher
efficiency can be expected due to increased driver capability along with reduced non-overlap durations. Turbo is
included to improve load turn-on response. A SHIFT pin now communicates to the control IC a change in phase
IC on-line status resulting in controlled phase timing during PSI and Phase Shedding.
implements cycle-by-cycle over current protection to resolve high repetition rate load transients.

SYSTEM THEORY OF OPERATION
System Description
The system consists of one control IC and a scalable array of phase converters, each requiring one phase IC. The
control IC communicates with the phase ICs using three digital buses, i.e., CLOCK, PHSIN, PHSOUT and three analog
buses, i.e., DAC, EA, and IOUT. The digital buses are responsible for switching frequency determination and accurate
phase timing control without any external components. The analog buses are used for PWM control and current
sharing between interleaved phases. The control IC incorporates all the system functions, i.e., VID, CLOCK signals,
error amplifier, fault protections, current monitor, etc. The Phase IC implements the functions required by the converter
of each phase, i.e., the gate drivers, PWM comparator and latch, over-voltage protection, phase disable circuit, current
sensing and sharing, etc.
PWM Control Method
The PWM block diagram of the XPhase3TM architecture is shown in Figure 1. Feed-forward voltage mode control with
trailing edge modulation is used. A high-gain and wide-bandwidth voltage type error amplifier is implemented in the
controller’s design to achieve a fast voltage control loop. Input voltage is sensed by the phase ICs to provide feed-
forward control. The feed-forward control compensates the ramp slope based on the change in input voltage. The input
voltage can change due to variations in the silver box output voltage or due to the wire and PCB-trace voltage drop
related to changes in load current.

Frequency and Phase Timing Control
The oscillator is located in the Control IC and the system clock frequency is programmable from 250 kHz to 9 MHz by
an external resistor. The control IC system clock signal (CLKOUT) is connected to CLKIN of all the phase ICs. The
phase timing of the phase ICs is controlled by the daisy chain loop, where the control IC phase clock output (PHSOUT)
is connected to the phase clock input (PHSIN) of the first phase IC, and PHSOUT of the first phase IC is connected to
PHSIN of the second phase IC, etc. The last phase IC is connected back to PHSIN of the control IC to complete the
daisy chain loop. During power up, the control IC sends out clock signals from both CLKOUT and PHSOUT pins and
detects the feedback at PHSIN pin to determine the phase number and monitor any fault in the daisy chain loop. When
the PSI is asserted (active low), the phases are effectively removed from the daisy chain loop. Figure 2 shows the
phase timing for a four phase converter. The switching frequency is set by the resistor ROSC. The clock frequency
equals the number of phase times the switching frequency.

PWM Operation
The PWM comparator is located in the phase IC. Upon receiving the falling edge of a clock pulse, the PWM latch is set
and the PWM ramp voltage begins to increase. In addition, the low side driver is turned off and the high side driver is
turned on after the non-overlap time expires (GATEL < 1V). When the PWM ramp voltage exceeds the error amplifier’s
output voltage, the PWM latch is reset and the internal ramp capacitor is quickly discharged to the output of the share
adjust amplifier and remains discharged until the next clock pulse. This reset latch additionally turns off the high side
driver and enables the low side driver after the non-overlap time concludes (Switch Node < 1V).
The PWM latch is reset dominant allowing all phases to go to zero duty cycle within a few tens of nanoseconds in
response to a load step decrease. Phases can overlap and go up to 100% duty cycle in response to a load step
increase with turn-on gated by the clock pulses. An error amplifier output voltage greater than the common mode input
range of the PWM comparator, results in 100% duty cycle regardless of the voltage of the PWM ramp. This
arrangement guarantees that the error amplifier is always in control and can demand 0 to 100% duty cycle as required.
It also favors response to a load step decrease, which is appropriate, given that the low output to input voltage ratio of
most systems. The inductor current will increase much more rapidly than decrease in response to load transients.
This control method is designed to provide “single cycle transient response.” The inductor current will change in
response to load transients within a single switching cycle maximizing the effectiveness of the power train and
minimizing the output capacitor requirements. An additional advantage of the architecture is that differences in ground
or input voltage, at the phases, have no effect on operation since the PWM ramps are referenced to VDAC. Figure 3
depicts PWM operating waveforms under various conditions.

Body BrakingTM
In a conventional synchronous buck converter, the minimum time required to reduce the current in the inductor in
response to a load step decrease is;
L*(IMAX − IMIN
)
TSLEW
=
VO
The slew rate of the inductor current can be significantly increased by turning off the synchronous rectifier in response
to a load step decrease. The switch node voltage is then forced to decrease until conduction of the synchronous
rectifier’s body diode occurs. This increases the voltage across the inductor from Vout to Vout + VBODYDIODE. The
minimum time required to reduce the current in the inductor in response to a load transient decrease is now;
L*(IMAX − IMIN
)
TSLEW
=
VO +VBODYDIODE
Since the voltage drop in the body diode is often comparable to the output voltage, the inductor current slew rate can
be increased significantly. This patented technique is referred to as “body braking” and is accomplished through the
“body braking comparator” located in the phase IC. If the error amplifier’s output voltage drops below the output voltage
of the share adjust amplifier in the phase IC, this comparator turns off the low side gate driver.
Lossless Average Inductor Current Sensing
Inductor current can be sensed by connecting a series resistor and a capacitor network in parallel with the inductor and
measuring the voltage across the capacitor, as shown in Figure 4. The equation of the sensing network is,

Usually the resistor Rcs and capacitor Ccs are chosen so that the time constant of Rcs and Ccs equals the time
constant of the inductor which is the inductance L over the inductor DCR (R
voltage across Ccs is proportional to the current through L, and the sense circuit can be treated as if only a sense
resistor with the value of R was used. The mismatch of the time constants does not affect the measurement of

Figure 4: Inductor Current Sensing and Current Sense Amplifier
The advantage of sensing the inductor current versus high side or low side sensing is that actual output current being
delivered to the load is obtained rather than peak or sampled information about the switch currents. The output voltage
can be positioned to meet a load line based on real time information. Except for a sense resistor in series with the
inductor, this is the only sense method that can support a single cycle transient response. Other methods provide no
information during either load increase (low side sensing) or load decrease (high side sensing).
An additional problem associated with peak or valley current mode control for voltage positioning is that they suffer
from peak-to-average errors. These errors will show in many ways but one example is the effect of frequency variation.
If the frequency of a particular unit is 10% low, the peak to peak inductor current will be 10% larger and the output
impedance of the converter will drop by about 10%. Variations in inductance, current sense amplifier bandwidth, PWM
prop delay, any added slope compensation, input voltage, and output voltage are all additional sources of peak-to-
average errors.
Current Sense Amplifier
A high speed differential current sense amplifier is located in the phase IC, as shown in Figure 4. Its gain is nominally
32.5, and the 3850 ppm/ºC increase in inductor DCR should be compensated in the voltage loop feedback path.
The current sense amplifier can accept positive differential input up to 50mV and negative up to -10mV before clipping.
The output of the current sense amplifier is summed with the DAC voltage and sent to the control IC and other phases
through an on-chip 3KΩ resistor connected to the ILL pin. The output of the current sense amplifier is summed with the
DAC voltage and sent to the phases through an on-chip 3KΩ resistor connected to the ISHARE pin. The ILL pins of all
the phases are tied together and the voltage on the share bus represents the average current through all the inductors
and is used by the control IC for voltage positioning. The ISHARE pins of all the phases are tied together and are not
connected to the control IC. The input offset of this amplifier is calibrated to +/- 1mV in order to reduce the current
sense error.
The input offset voltage is the primary source of error for the current share loop. In order to achieve very small input
offset error and superior current sharing performance, the current sense amplifier continuously calibrates itself. This
calibration algorithm creates ripple on IOUT bus with a frequency of fsw/896 in a multiphase architecture.
Average Current Share Loop
Current sharing between phases of the converter is achieved by the average current share loop in each phase IC. The
output of the current sense amplifier is compared with the average current at the share bus. If current in a phase is
smaller than the average current, the share adjust amplifier of the phase will pull down the starting point of the PWM
ramp thereby increasing its duty cycle and output current; if current in a phase is larger than the average current, the
Page 11 of 22
February 12, 2010
IR3529
share adjust amplifier of the phase will pull up the starting point of the PWM ramp thereby decreasing its duty cycle and
output current. The current share amplifier is internally compensated so that the crossover frequency of the current
share loop is much slower than that of the voltage loop and the two loops do not interact. For proper current sharing
the output of current sense amplifier should not exceed (VCCL-1.4V) under all operating condition.

Tri-State Gate Drivers
The gate drivers are design to provide a 2A source and sink peak current (Bottom gate driver can sink 4A). An
adaptive non-overlap circuit monitors the voltage on the GATEH and GATEL pins to prevent MOSFET shoot-
through current and minimizing body diode conduction. The non-overlap latch is added to eliminate erroneous
triggering caused by the switching noise. A fault condition is communicated to the phase IC via the control IC’s
error amplifier without an additional dedicated signal line. The error amplifier’s output is driven low in response to
any fault condition detected by the controller, such as VCCL under voltage or output overload, disabling the phase
IC and activating Body BrakingTM. The IR3529 Body BrakingTM comparator detects the low signal at the EAIN and
drives the bottom gate output low. This tri-state operation prevents negative inductor current and negative output
voltage during power-down.

IR3529
A synchronous rectification disable comparator is used to detect the converter’s CSIN- pin voltage, which
represents local converter output voltage. If the voltage is below 75% of VDAC and negative current is detected,
GATEL is driven low, which disables synchronous rectification and eliminates negative current during power-up.
The gate drivers are pulled low if the supply voltage falls below the normal operating range. An 80kΩ resistor is
connected across the GATEH/GATEL and PGND pins to prevent the GATEH/GATEL voltage from rising due to
leakage or other causes under these conditions.
PWM Ramp
Every time the phase IC is powered up, the PWM ramp magnitude is calibrated to generate a 52.5 mV/% ramp
(VCC=12V). For example, a 15 % duty ratio will generate a ramp amplitude of 787.5 mV (15 x 52.5 mV) with
12V supply applied to VCC. Feed-forward control is achieved by varying the PWM ramp proportionally with VCC
voltage after calibration.
In response to a load step-up, the error amplifier can demand 100 % duty cycle. As shown in Figure 6, 100 %
duty is detected by comparing the PWM latch output (PWMQ) and its input clock (PWM_CLK). If the PWMQ is
high when the PWM_CLK is asserted, the top FET turnoff is initiated. The top FET is again turned on once the
RMPOUT drops within 200 mV of the VDAC.

Power State Indicator (PSI) function
From a system perspective, the PSI input is controlled by the system and is forced low when the load current is
lower than a preset limit and forced high when load current is higher than the preset limit. IR3529 can accept an
active low signal on its PSI input and force the drivers into tri-state, effectively, forcing the phase IC into an off
state. Once the PSI# signal is asserted, the IC waits for 8 PHSIN cycles before forcing the drivers into tri-state.
This delay is required to ensure that the IC does not respond to any high frequency PSI# signal because
entering into PSI mode for a very short duration does not benefit the system efficiency. Irrespective of the PSI#
input, the disabled phase remains connected to the ILL bus which ensures accurate voltage positioning.
However, on assertion of PSI# signal, the disabled phase is disconnected from the ISHARE bus and therefore
ISHARE will represent the actual per phase current information.

Turbo Modulator
The turbo functionality is included in IR3529 to improve the transient performance of the system with reduced
output capacitance. The turbo modulator consists of a comparator that monitors the EAIN signal and its filtered
version. The modulator turns on the phase when EAIN reaches 260 mV above its filtered version and turns off
when EAIN reaches its peak value. This action helps to achieve an improved transient response with lesser output
capacitors thereby reducing the overall system cost.
Cycle-by-cycle over current protection
IR3529 incorporates the OCSET function to improve the transient response when the load repetition rate is close
to the switching frequency. When a significantly high load current is cycled at the switching frequency of the multi-
phase VR, the phases that are synchronized with the load current will experience an incremental change in the
duty ratio while the other phases will experience a decrease in the duty ratio from the nominal value. This in turn
will lead to huge inductor currents in the phases that are synchronized with the load and thereby saturating the
inductor core. Eventually, this will lead to an OVP condition or failure of the high-side MOSFET.
In IR3529, the problem due to high repetition rate of the load is addressed by high side current sensing and
thereby providing cycle-by-cycle over current protection. The over current threshold is programmed with an
external resistor (ROCSET) connected to the OCSET pin with a sink current of 200 µA. The OCSET comparator
monitors the voltage across the on-resistance (RDS, ON) of the high-side MOSFET and terminates the high side
pulse if the sensed voltage reaches the over current threshold. This helps to reduce the deviation at the error
amplifier output thereby improving the transient response.
Debugging Mode
If the CSIN+ pin is pulled up to VCCL voltage, IR3529 enters into debugging mode. Both drivers are pulled low
and IOUT output is disconnected from the current share bus, which isolates this phase IC from other phases.
However, the phase timing from PHSIN to PHSOUT does not change.
Emulated Bootstrap Diode
IR3529 integrates a PFET to emulate the bootstrap diode. If two or more top MOSFETs are to be driven at higher
switching frequency, an external bootstrap diode connected from VCCL pin to BOOST pin may be needed.

Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The IR3529 includes over-voltage protection that turns on the low side MOSFET to protect the load in the event of
a shorted high-side MOSFET, converter out of regulation, or connection of the converter output to an excessive
output voltage. As shown in Figure 8, if IOUT pin voltage is above V(VCCL) – 0.8V, which represents over-voltage
condition detected by control IC, the over-voltage latch is set. GATEL drives high and GATEH drives low. The OVP
circuit overrides the normal PWM operation and within approximately 150ns will fully turn-on the low side
MOSFET, which remains in conduction until IOUT drops below V(VCCL) – 0.8V when over voltage ends. The over
voltage fault is latched in control IC and can only be reset by cycling the power to control IC. The error amplifier
output (EAIN) is pulled down by control IC and will remain low. The lower MOSFETs alone can not clamp the
output voltage however a SCR or N-MOSFET could be triggered with the OVP output to prevent processor
damage.
Operation at Higher Output Voltage
The proper operation of the phase IC is ensured for output voltage up to 5.1V. Similarly, the minimum VCC for
proper operation of the phase IC is 8 V. Operating below this minimum voltage, the current sharing performance of
the phase IC is affected.

DESIGN PROCEDURES - IR3529
Inductor Current Sensing Capacitor CCS and Resistor RCS
The DC resistance of the inductor is utilized to sense the inductor current. Usually the resistor RCS and capacitor
CS in parallel with the inductor are chosen to match the time constant of the inductor, and therefore the voltage
C
across the capacitor CCS represents the inductor current. If the two time constants are not the same, the AC
component of the capacitor voltage is different from that of the real inductor current. The time constant mismatch
does not affect the average current sharing among the multiple phases, but does affect the current signal IOUT as
well as the output voltage during the load current transient if adaptive voltage positioning is adopted.
Measure the inductance L and the inductor DC resistance R

Bootstrap Capacitor CBST
Depending on the duty cycle and gate drive current of the phase IC, a capacitor in the range of 0.1uF to 1uF is
needed for the bootstrap circuit.
Decoupling Capacitors for Phase IC
A 0.1uF-1uF decoupling capacitor is required at the VCCL pin.
Current Share Loop Compensation
The internal compensation of current share loop ensures that crossover frequency of the current share loop is at
least one decade lower than that of the voltage loop so that the interaction between the two loops is eliminated.
The crossover frequency of current share loop is approximately 8 kHz

LAYOUT GUIDELINES
The following layout guidelines are recommended to reduce the parasitic inductance and resistance of the PCB
layout; therefore, minimizing the noise coupled to the IC.
•
•
•
•
Dedicate at least one middle layer for a ground plane, which is then split into signal ground plane (LGND) and
power ground plane (PGND).
Separate analog bus (EAIN, DACIN, and IOUT) from digital bus (CLKIN, PSI, PHSIN, and PHSOUT) to
reduce the noise coupling.
Connect PGND to LGND pins of each phase IC to the ground tab, which is tied to LGND and PGND planes
respectively through vias.
Place current sense resistors and capacitors (RCS and CCS) close to phase IC. Use Kelvin connection for the
inductor current sense wires, but separate the two wires by ground polygon. The wire from the inductor
terminal to CSIN- should not cross over the fast transition nodes, i.e., switching nodes, gate drive outputs,
and bootstrap nodes.
•
•
•
•
Place the decoupling capacitors CVCC and CVCCL as close as possible to VCC and VCCL pins of the phase
IC respectively.
Place the phase IC as close as possible to the MOSFETs to reduce the parasitic resistance and inductance of
the gate drive paths.
Place the input ceramic capacitors close to the drain of top MOSFET and the source of bottom MOSFET. Use
combination of different packages of ceramic capacitors.
There are two switching power loops. One loop includes the input capacitors, top MOSFET, inductor, output
capacitors and the load; another loop consists of bottom MOSFET, inductor, output capacitors and the load.
Route the switching power paths using wide and short traces or polygons; use multiple vias for connections
between layers.

IR3529
PCB Metal and Component Placement
•
•
Lead land width should be equal to nominal part lead width. The minimum lead to lead spacing should be ≥
0.2mm to minimize shorting.
Lead land length should be equal to maximum part lead length + 0.3 mm outboard extension + 0.05mm
inboard extension. The outboard extension ensures a large and inspectable toe fillet, and the inboard
extension will accommodate any part misalignment and ensure a fillet.
•
Center pad land length and width should be equal to maximum part pad length and width. However, the
minimum metal to metal spacing should be ≥ 0.17mm for 2 oz. Copper (≥ 0.1mm for 1 oz. Copper and ≥
0.23mm for 3 oz. Copper).
•
•
Four 0.3mm diameter vias shall be placed in the pad land spaced at 1.2mm, and connected to ground to
minimize the noise effect on the IC and to transfer heat to the PCB.
No PCB traces should be routed nor vias placed under any of the 4 corners of the IC package. Doing so
can cause the IC to rise up from the PCB resulting in poor solder joints to the IC leads.
Page 19 of 22
February 12, 2010
IR3529
Solder Resist
•
The solder resist should be pulled away from the metal lead lands and center pad by a minimum of
0.06mm. The solder resist mis-alignment is a maximum of 0.05mm and it is recommended that the lead
lands are all Non Solder Mask Defined (NSMD). Therefore, pulling the S/R 0.06mm will always ensure
NSMD pads.
•
•
•
The minimum solder resist width is 0.13mm. At the inside corner of the solder resist where the lead land
groups meet, it is recommended to provide a fillet so a solder resist width of ≥ 0.17mm remains.
Ensure that the solder resist in-between the lead lands and the pad land is ≥ 0.15mm due to the high aspect
ratio of the solder resist strip separating the lead lands from the pad land.
The 4 vias in the land pad should be tented with solder resist 0.4mm diameter, or 0.1mm larger than the
diameter of the via.
Page 20 of 22
February 12, 2010
IR3529
Stencil Design
•
The stencil apertures for the lead lands should be approximately 80% of the area of the lead lands.
Reducing the amount of solder deposited will minimize the occurrence of lead shorts. Since for 0.5mm
pitch devices the leads are only 0.25mm wide, the stencil apertures should not be made narrower; openings
in stencils < 0.25mm wide are difficult to maintain repeatable solder release.
The stencil lead land apertures should therefore be shortened in length by 80% and centered on the lead
land.
•
•
The land pad aperture should be striped with 0.25mm wide openings and spaces to deposit approximately
50% area of solder on the center pad. If too much solder is deposited on the center pad the part will float
and the lead lands will be open.
•
The maximum length and width of the land pad stencil aperture should be equal to the solder resist opening
minus an annular 0.2mm pull back to decrease the incidence of shorting the center land to the lead lands
when the part is pushed into the solder paste.
