NCP5322A  
Two−Phase Buck Controller  
with Integrated Gate  
Drivers and 5−Bit DAC  
The NCP5322A is a second−generation, two−phase step down  
controller which incorporates all control functions required to power  
high performance processors and high current power supplies.  
Proprietary multi−phase architecture guarantees balanced load current  
distribution and reduces overall solution cost in high current

applications. Enhanced V control architecture provides the fastest  
28  
possible transient response, excellent overall regulation, and ease of  
use. The NCP5322A is a second−generation PWM controller because

it optimizes transient response by combining traditional Enhanced V  
SO−28L  
DW SUFFIX  
CASE 751F  
with an internal PWM ramp and fast−feedback directly from V  
to  
CORE  
the internal PWM comparator. These enhancements provide greater  
design flexibility, facilitate use and reduce output voltage jitter.  
The NCP5322A multi−phase architecture reduces output voltage  
and input current ripple, allowing for a significant reduction in filter  
size and inductor values with a corresponding increase in inductor  
current slew rate. This approach allows a considerable reduction in  
input and output capacitor requirements, as well as reducing overall  
solution size and cost.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Overview  
currents in individual phases. Each phase is delayed 180°  
from the previous phase. Normally, GATE(H) transitions to  
a high voltage at the beginning of each oscillator cycle.  
Inductor current ramps up until the combination of the  
current sense signal, the internal ramp and the output voltage  
ripple trip the PWM comparator and bring GATE(H) low.  
Once GATE(H) goes low, it will remain low until the  
beginning of the next oscillator cycle. While GATE(H) is  
The NCP5322A DC/DC controller from ON  
Semiconductor was developed using the Enhanced V  
topology to meet requirements of low voltage, high current  
loads with fast transient requirements. Enhanced V combines  
the original V topology with peak current−mode control for  
fast transient response and current sensing capability. The  
addition of an internal PWM ramp and implementation of

response and simplified design. The NCP5322A includes  
Power Good (PWRGD) and MOSFET gate drivers to  
provide a “fully integrated solution” to simplify design,  
minimize circuit board area, and reduce overall system cost.  
Two advantages of a multi−phase converter over a  
single−phase converter are current sharing and increased  
apparent output frequency. Current sharing allows the  
designer to use less inductance in each phase than would be  
required in a single−phase converter. The smaller inductor  
will produce larger ripple currents but the total per phase  
power dissipation is reduced because the RMS current is lower.  
Transient response is improved because the control loop will  
measure and adjust the current faster in a smaller output  
inductor. Increased apparent output frequency is desirable  
because the off time and the ripple voltage of the two−phase  
converter will be less than that of a single−phase converter.  
variations. On the other hand, once GATE(H) is low, the loop  
can not respond until the beginning of the next PWM cycle.  
Therefore, constant frequency Enhanced V will typically

respond to disturbances within the off−time of the converter.

The Enhanced V architecture measures and adjusts the  
output current in each phase. An additional input (CSn) for  
2
inductor current information has been added to the V loop  
for each phase as shown in Figure 10. The triangular inductor  
current is measured differentially across RS, amplified by  
CSA and summed with the Channel Startup Offset, the  
Internal Ramp, and the Output Voltage at the non−inverting  
input of the PWM comparator. The purpose of the Internal  
Ramp is to compensate for propagation delays in the  
NCP5322A. This provides greater design flexibility by  
allowing smaller external ramps, lower minimum pulse  
widths, higher frequency operation, and PWM duty cycles  
above 50% without external slope compensation. As the  
sum of the inductor current and the internal ramp increase,  
the voltage on the positive pin of the PWM comparator rises  
and terminates the PWM cycle. If the inductor starts a cycle  
with higher current, the PWM cycle will terminate earlier  
providing negative feedback. The NCP5322A provides a  
Fixed Frequency Multi−Phase Control  
In a multi−phase converter, multiple converters are  
connected in parallel and are switched on at different times.  
This reduces output current from the individual converters  
and increases the apparent ripple frequency. Because several  
converters are connected in parallel, output current can ramp  
up or down faster than a single converter (with the same  
value output inductor) and heat is spread among multiple  
components.  
CSn input for each phase, but the CS  
and COMP inputs  
REF  
are common to all phases. Current sharing is accomplished  
by referencing all phases to the same CS and COMP  
REF  
pins, so that a phase with a larger current signal will turn off  
earlier than a phase with a smaller current signal.  
The NCP5322A controller uses two−phase, fixed

COMP  
As shown in Figure 10, an internal ramp (nominally 125 mV  
at a 50% duty cycle) is added to the inductor current ramp  
at the positive terminal of the PWM comparator. This  
additional ramp compensates for propagation time delays  
from the current sense amplifier (CSA), the PWM  
comparator, and the MOSFET gate drivers. As a result, the  
minimum ON time of the controller is reduced and lower  
duty cycles may be achieved at higher frequencies. Also, the  
additional ramp reduces the reliance on the inductor current  
ramp and allows greater flexibility when choosing the output  
If the COMP pin is held steady and the inductor current  
changes, there must also be a change in the output voltage.  
Or, in a closed loop configuration when the output current  
changes, the COMP pin must move to keep the same output  
voltage. The required change in the output voltage or COMP  
pin depends on the scaling of the current feedback signal and  
is calculated as:

Transient Response and Adaptive Positioning  
For applications with fast transient currents the output filter  
is frequently sized larger than ripple currents require in order  
to reduce voltage excursions during load transients. Adaptive  
voltage positioning can reduce peak−to−peak output voltage  
deviations during load transients and allow for a smaller  
output filter. The output voltage can be set higher than  
nominal at light loads to reduce output voltage sag when the  
load current is applied. Similarly, the output voltage can be set  
lower than nominal during heavy loads to reduce overshoot

applications a droop resistor can provide fast accurate adaptive  
positioning. However, at high currents the loss in a droop  
resistor becomes excessive. For example; in a 50 A converter  
a 1 mW resistor to provide a 50 mV change in output voltage  
between no load and full load would dissipate 2.5 Watts.  
Lossless adaptive positioning is an alternative to using a  
droop resistor, but must respond to changes in load current.  
Figure 14 shows how adaptive positioning works. The  
waveform labeled normal shows a converter without  
adaptive positioning. On the left, the output voltage sags  
when the output current is stepped up and later overshoots  
when current is stepped back down. With fast (ideal)  
adaptive positioning the peak to peak excursions are cut in  
half. In the slow adaptive positioning waveform the output  
voltage is not repositioned quickly enough after current is  
stepped up and the upper limit is exceeded.

Layout Guidelines  
Start pin.  
With the fast rise, high output currents of microprocessor  
applications, parasitic inductance and resistance should be  
considered when laying out the power, filter and feedback  
signal sections of the board. Typically, a multi−layer board  
with at least one ground plane is recommended. If the layout  
is such that high currents can exist in the ground plane  
underneath the controller or control circuitry, the ground  
plane can be slotted to route the currents away from the  
controller. The slots should typically not be placed between  
the controller and the output voltage or in the return path of  
the gate drive. Additional power and ground planes or  
islands can be added as required for a particular layout.  
Gate drives experience high di/dt during switching and the  
inductance of gate drive traces should be minimized. Gate  
drive traces should be kept as short and wide as practical and  
should have a return path directly below the gate trace.  
Output filter components should be placed on wide planes  
connected directly to the load to minimize resistive drops  
during heavy loads and inductive drops and ringing during  
transients. If required, the planes for the output voltage and  
return can be interleaved to minimize inductance between  
the filter and load.  
The current sense signals are typically tens of milli−volts.  
Noise pick−up should be avoided wherever possible.  
Current feedback traces should be routed away from noisy  
areas such as the switch node and gate drive signals. If the  
current signals are taken from a location other than directly  
at the inductor any additional resistance between the  
pick−off point and the inductor appears as part of the  
inherent inductor resistances and should be considered in  
design calculations. The capacitors for the current feedback  
networks should be placed as close to the current sense pins  
as practical. After placing the NCP5322A control IC, follow  
these guidelines to optimize the layout and routing:  
1. Place the 1 mF power supply bypass (ceramic)  
7. Place the MOSFETs and output inductors to reduce  
the size of the noisy SWNODEs. There is a trade−  
off between reducing the size of the SWNODEs  
for noise reduction and providing adequate  
heat−sinking for the synchronous MOSFETs.  
8. Place the input inductor and input capacitor(s) near  
the Drain of the control (upper) MOSFETs. There  
is a trade−off between reducing the size of this  
node to save board area and providing adequate  
heat−sinking for the control MOSFETs.  
9. Place the output capacitors (electrolytic and ceramic)  
close to the processor socket or output connector.  
10. The trace from the SWNODEs to the current sense  
components (R , R ) will be very noisy.  
CS1 CS2  
Route this away from more sensitive, low−level  
traces. The Ground layer can be used to help  
isolate this trace.  
11. The Gate traces are very noisy. Route these away  
from more sensitive, low−level traces. Keep each  
Gate signal on one layer and insure that there is an  
uninterrupted return path directly below the Gate  
trace. The Ground layer can be used to help isolate  
these traces.  
12. Don’t “daisy chain” connections to Ground from  
one via. Allow each connection to Ground to have  
its own via as close to the component as possible.  
13. Use a slot in the ground plane from the bulk output  
capacitors back to the input power connector to  
prevent high currents from flowing beneath the  
control IC. This slot should extend length−wise  
under the control IC and separate the connections  
to “signal ground” and “power ground.” Examples  
of signal ground include the capacitors at COMP,  
CS , Soft−Start (SS), V

One method of calculating an output inductor value is to  
size the inductor to produce a specified maximum ripple  
current in the inductor. Lower ripple currents will result in  
less core and MOSFET losses and higher converter  
efficiency. Equation 3 may be used to calculate the minimum  
inductor value to produce a given maximum ripple current  
(α) per phase. The inductor value calculated by this equation  
is a minimum because values less than this will produce more  
ripple current than desired. Conversely, higher inductor  
values will result in less than the maximum ripple current.  
Design Procedure  
1. Output Capacitor Selection  
The output capacitors filter the current from the output  
inductor and provide a low impedance for transient load  
current changes. Typically, microprocessor applications  
will require both bulk (electrolytic, tantalum) and low  
impedance, high frequency (ceramic) types of capacitors.  
The bulk capacitors provide “hold up” during transient  
loading. The low impedance capacitors reduce steady−state  
ripple and bypass the bulk capacitance when the output  
current changes very quickly. The microprocessor  
manufacturers usually specify a minimum number of  
ceramic capacitors. The designer must determine the  
number of bulk capacitors.

α is the ripple current as a percentage of the maximum  
output current per phase (α = 0.15 for 15%, α = 0.25 for  
25%, etc). If the minimum inductor value is used, the  
inductor current will swing α% about its value at the center  
(1/2 the DC output current for a two−phase converter).  
Therefore, for a two−phase converter, the inductor must be  
designed or selected such that it will not saturate with a peak

The maximum inductor value is limited by the transient  
response of the converter. If the converter is to have a fast  
transient response then the inductor should be made as small  
as possible. If the inductor is too large its current will change  
too slowly, the output voltage will droop excessively, more  
bulk capacitors will be required, and the converter cost will  
be increased. For a given inductor value, its interesting to  
determine the times required to increase or decrease the  
current.

Unfortunately, capacitor manufacturers do not specify the

PCB traces is highly dependent on the layout and routing.  
Therefore, it is necessary to start a design with slightly more  
than the minimum number of bulk capacitors and perform  
transient testing or careful modeling/simulation to  
determine the final number of bulk capacitors.

2. Output Inductor Selection  
For typical processor applications with output voltages  
less than half the input voltage, the current will be increased  
much more quickly than it can be decreased. It may be more  
difficult for the converter to stay within the regulation limits  
when the load is removed than when it is applied − excessive  
overshoot may result.  
The output inductor may be the most critical component  
in the converter because it will directly effect the choice of  
other components and dictate both the steady−state and  
transient performance of the converter. When selecting an  
inductor the designer must consider factors such as DC  
current, peak current, output voltage ripple, core material,  
magnetic saturation, temperature, physical size, and cost  
(usually the primary concern).  
In general, the output inductance value should be as low  
and physically small as possible to provide the best transient  
response and minimum cost. If a large inductance value is  
used, the converter will not respond quickly to rapid changes  
in the load current. On the other hand, too low an inductance  
The output voltage ripple can be calculated using the

This formula assumes steady−state conditions with no  
more than one phase on at any time. The second term in  
Equation 4 is the total ripple current seen by the output  
capacitors. The total output ripple current is the “time  
summation” of the two individual phase currents that are  
180 degrees out−of−phase. As the inductor current in one  
phase ramps upward, current in the other phase ramps  
downward and provides a canceling of currents during part  
of the switching cycle. Therefore, the total output ripple  
current and voltage are reduced in a multi−phase converter.

The choice and number of input capacitors is primarily  
determined by their voltage and ripple current ratings. The  
designer must choose capacitors that will support the worst  
case input voltage with adequate margin. To calculate the  
number of input capacitors one must first determine the total  
RMS input ripple current. To this end, begin by calculating  
the average input current to the converter:

For a two−phase converter with perfect efficiency (η = 1),  
the worst case input ripple−current will occur when the  
converter is operating at a 25% duty cycle. At this operating  
point, the parallel combination of input capacitors must  
support an RMS ripple current equal to 25% of the  
converter’s DC output current. At other duty cycles, the  
ripple−current will be less. For example, at a duty cycle of  
either 10% or 40%, the two−phase input ripple−current will  
be approximately 20% of the converter’s DC output current.  
In general, capacitor manufacturers require derating to the  
specified ripple−current based on the ambient temperature.  
More capacitors will be required because of the current  
derating. The designer should be cognizant of the ESR of the  
input capacitors. The input capacitor power loss can be

The use of an inductor between the input capacitors and  
the power source will accomplish two objectives. First, it  
will isolate the voltage source and the system from the noise  
generated in the switching supply. Second, it will limit the  
inrush current into the input capacitors at power up. Large  
inrush currents will reduce the expected life of the input  
capacitors. The inductor’s limiting effect on the input  
current slew rate becomes increasingly beneficial during  
load transients.  
The worst case input current slew rate will occur during  
the first few PWM cycles immediately after a step−load  
change is applied as shown in Figure 16. When the load is  
applied, the output voltage is pulled down very quickly.  
Current through the output inductors will not change  
instantaneously so the initial transient load current must be  
conducted by the output capacitors. The output voltage will  
step downward depending on the magnitude of the output

When the control MOSFET (Q1 in Figure 16) turns ON,  
the input voltage will be applied to the opposite terminal of  
the output inductor (the SWNODE). At that instant, the

The input inductance value calculated from Equation 18  
is relatively conservative. It assumes the supply voltage is  
very “stiff” and does not account for any parasitic elements  
that will limit dI/dt such as stray inductance. Also, the ESR  
values of the capacitors specified by the manufacturer’s data  
sheets are worst case high limits. In reality input voltage

As with the output inductor, the input inductor must  
support the maximum current without saturating the  
magnetic. Also, for an inexpensive iron powder core, such  
as the −26 or −52 from Micrometals, the inductance “swing”  
with DC bias must be taken into account − inductance will  
decrease as the DC input current increases. At the maximum  
input current, the inductance must not decrease below the  
minimum value or the dI/dt will be higher than expected.  
Current changes slowly in the input inductor so the input  
capacitors must initially deliver the vast majority of the  
input current. The amount of voltage drop across the input  
capacitors (DV ) is determined by the number of input

5. MOSFET & Heatsink Selection  
SW  
Power dissipation, package size, and thermal solution  
drive MOSFET selection. To adequately size the heat sink,  
the design must first predict the MOSFET power dissipation.  
Once the dissipation is known, the heat sink thermal  
impedance can be calculated to prevent the specified  
maximum case or junction temperatures from being exceeded  
Before the load is applied, the voltage across the input  
inductor (V ) is very small − the input capacitors charge to  
Li  
the input voltage, V . After the load is applied the voltage  
IN  
drop across the input capacitors, DV , appears across the  
Ci  
input inductor as well. Knowing this, the minimum value of  
the input inductor can be calculated from:

at the highest ambient temperature. Power dissipation has two  
primary contributors: conduction losses and switching losses.  
The control or upper MOSFET will display both switching  
and conduction losses. The synchronous or lower MOSFET  
will exhibit only conduction losses because it switches into  
nearly zero voltage. However, the body diode in the  
synchronous MOSFET will suffer diode losses during the  
non−overlap time of the gate drivers.

Equation 32 will be most accurate for better iron powder

material is very consistent with DC current and frequency.  
Less expensive core materials (such as the −52 from  
Micrometals) change their characteristics with DC current,  
AC flux density, and frequency. This material will yield  
acceptable converter performance if the current sense time  
constant is set lower (longer) than anticipated. As a rule of

CSn  
twice the capacitance (C ) when using the less expensive  
CSn  
core material.  
8. Error Amplifier Tuning  
After the steady−state (static) AVP has been set and the  
current sense network has been optimized the Error  
Amplifier must be tuned. Basically, the gain of the Error  
Amplifier should be adjusted to provide an acceptable  
transient response by increasing or decreasing the Error  
Amplifier’s feedback capacitor (C  
in the Applications  
AMP  
Diagram). The bandwidth of the control loop will vary  
directly with the gain of the error amplifier.  
Figure 23. The Value of CAMP Is Too High and the  
Loop Gain/Bandwidth Too Low. COMP Slews Too  
Slowly Which Results in Overshoot in VOUT  
.
If C  
is too large the loop gain/bandwidth will be low,  
AMP  
the COMP pin will slew too slowly, and the output voltage  
will overshoot as shown in Figure 23. On the other hand, if  
C
AMP  
is too small the loop gain/bandwidth will be high, the  
COMP pin will slew very quickly and overshoot. Integrator  
http://onsemi.com

NCP5322A  
“wind up” is the cause of the overshoot. In this case the  
output voltage will transition more slowly because COMP  
spikes upward as shown in Figure 24. Too much loop  
gain/bandwidth increase the risk of instability. In general,  
one should use the lowest loop gain/bandwidth as possible  
to achieve acceptable transient response − this will insure  
good stability. If C  
is optimal the COMP pin will slew  
AMP  
quickly but not overshoot and the output voltage will  
monotonically settle as shown in Figure 25.  
After the control loop is tuned to provide an acceptable  
transient response the steady−state voltage ripple on the  
COMP pin should be examined. When the converter is  
operating at full, steady−state load, the peak−to−peak  
voltage ripple on the COMP pin should be less than 20 mV  
PP  
as shown in Figure 26. Less than 10 mV is ideal. Excessive  
ripple on the COMP pin will contribute to output voltage  
jitter.  
Figure 26. At Full−Load (28 A) the Peak−to−Peak  
Voltage Ripple on the COMP Pin Should Be Less  
than 20 mV for a Well−Tuned/Stable Controller.  
Higher COMP Voltage Ripple Will Contribute to  
Output Voltage Jitter.  
PP  
9. Current Limit Setting  
When the output of the current sense amplifier (CO1 or  
CO2 in the block diagram) exceeds the voltage on the I  
LIM  
pin the part will enter hiccup mode. For inductive sensing,  
the I pin voltage should be set based on the inductor’s  
LIM  
maximum resistance (R  
). The design must consider  
LMAX  
the inductor’s resistance increase due to current heating and  
ambient temperature rise. Also, depending on the current  
sense points, the circuit board may add additional resistance.  
In general, the temperature coefficient of copper is +0.393%  
per °C. If using a current sense resistor (R  
), the I  
SENSE  
LIM  
pin voltage should be set based on the maximum value of the  
sense resistor. To set the level of the I pin:

Loop Gain/Bandwidth Too High. COMP Moves Too

For the overcurrent protection to work properly, the  
current sense time constant (RC) should be slightly larger  
than the RL time constant. If the RC time constant is too fast,  
during step load changes the sensed current waveform will  
appear larger than the actual inductor current and will  
probably trip the current limit at a lower level than expected.  
10. PWM Comparator Input Voltage  
The voltage at the positive input terminal of the PWM  
comparator (see Figure 10 or 12) is limited by the internal  
voltage supply of the controller (3.3 V), the size of the  
internal ramp, and the magnitude of the channel startup  
offset voltage. To prevent the PWM comparator from

The maximum inductor resistance occurs at full−load and  
the highest ambient temperature. This value was found in the  
“Output Inductor Section” (1.06 mW). This analysis  
assumes the PCB resistance only increases due to the change  
in ambient temperature. Component heating will also  
increase the PCB temperature but quantifying this effect is  
difficult. Lab testing should be used to “fine tune” the  
overcurrent threshold.
