FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
The LM3000 is a dual output synchronous buck  
controller which is designed to convert input voltages  
ranging from 3.3V to 18.5V down to output voltages  
as low as 0.6V. The two outputs switch at a constant  
programmable frequency of 200 kHz to 1.5 MHz, with  
the second output 180 degrees out of phase from the  
first to minimize the input filter requirements. The  
switching frequency can also be phase locked to an  
external frequency. A CLKOUT provides an external  
clock 90 degrees out of phase with the main clock so  
that a second chip can be run out of phase with the  
main chip. The emulated current-mode control utilizes  
bottom side FET sensing to provide fast transient  
response and current limit without the need for  
external current sense resistors or RC networks.  
Separate Enable, Soft-Start and Track pins allow  
each output to be controlled independently to provide  
maximum flexibility in designing system power  
sequencing.

(1) The LM3000 offers true remote ground sensing to achieve very tight line and load regulation. For best layout practice, the EA1_GND,  
and EA2_GND should be tied to the ground end of the output capacitor (or output terminal) for VOUT1 and VOUT2 respectively. Inside the  
LM3000, the two power ground nodes PGND1 and PGND2 are physically isolated from each other and also isolated from the internal  
signal ground SGND. In order to achieve the best cross-channel noise rejection, it is advised to keep these three grounds isolated from  
each other for the most part in the board layout and only tie them together at the ground terminals.

(1) Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur, including inoperability and degradation of  
device reliability and/or performance. Functional operation of the device and/or non-degradation at the Absolute Maximum Ratings or  
other conditions beyond those indicated in the Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. Operating Range conditions indicate  
the conditions at which the device is functional and the device should not be operated beyond such conditions. For ensured  
specifications and conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics table.  
(2) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/Distributors for availability and  
specifications.  
(3) VDD and VDR are outputs of the internal linear regulator. Under normal operating conditions where VIN > 5.5V, they must not be tied to  
any external voltage source. In an application where VIN is between 3.3V to 5.5V, it is recommended to tie the VDD, VDR and VIN pins  
together, especially when VIN may drop below 4.5V. In order to have better noise rejection under these conditions, a 10, 1μF input  
filter may be used for the VDD pin.  
(4) HG1, HG2, LG1, LG2 and CLKOUT are all output pins and should not be tied to any external power supply. COMP1 and COMP2 are  
also outputs and should not be tied to any lower output impedance power source. PGOOD1 and PGOOD2 are open drain outputs, with  
a pull-down resistance of about 250. Each of them may be tied to an external voltage source less than 5.5V through an external  
resister greater than 3k, although 10kand above are preferred to reduce the necessary signal ground current.  
(5) Human Body Model (HBM) is 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5k resistor into each pin. Applicable standard is JESD22-A114C.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
The LM3000 is a dual emulated current-mode PWM synchronous controller. Unlike traditional peak current-mode  
controllers which sense the current while the high-side FET is on, the LM3000 senses current while the low-side  
FET is on. It then emulates the peak current waveform and uses that information to regulate the output voltage.  
The blanking time when the high-side FET first turns on that is normally associated with high-side sensing is not  
needed, allowing high-side ON pulses as low as 50 ns. The LM3000 therefore has both excellent line transient  
response and the ability to regulate low output voltages from high input voltages.  
STARTUP  
After the EN1 or EN2 current exceeds the enable ON threshold and the voltage at the VDD pin reaches 2.2V, an  
internal 8.5 µA current source charges the soft-start capacitor of the enabled channel. Once soft-start is complete  
the converter enters steady state operation. Current limit is enabled during soft-start in case of a short circuit at  
the output. The soft-start time is calculated as:  
CSS x 0.6V  
tSS  
=
8.5 éA  
(1)  
To avoid current limit during startup, the soft-start time tSS should be substantially longer than the time required  
to charge COUT to VOUT at the maximum output current. To meet this requirement:  
VOUT x COUT  
tSS  
>
ILIMIT œ IOUT  
(2)  
STARTUP INTO OUTPUT PRE-BIAS  
If the output capacitor of the LM3000 has been charged up to some pre-bias level before the converter is  
enabled, the chip will force the soft-start capacitor to the same voltage as the FB pin. This will cause the output  
to ramp up from the existing output voltage without discharging it. During the soft-start ramp, the low-side FET is  
disabled whenever the COMP voltage is below the active regulation voltage range.  
LOW INPUT VOLTAGE  
The LM3000 includes an internal 5.2V linear regulator connected from the VIN pin to the VDD pin. This linear  
regulator feeds the logic and FET drive circuitry. For input voltages less than 5.5V, the VIN, VDD and VDR pins  
can be tied together externally. This allows the full input voltage to be used for driving the power FETs and also  
minimizes conduction loss in the LM3000.  
TRACKING  
The LM3000 has individual tracking inputs which control each output during soft-start. This allows the output  
voltage slew rates to be controlled for loads that require precise sequencing. When the tracking function is not  
being used the TRK1 or TRK2 pins should be connected directly to the VDD pin.  
During start-up, the error amplifier will follow the lower of the SS or TRK voltages. For design margin, the soft-  
start time tSS should be set to 75% of the minimum expected rise time of the controlling supply. In the event that  
the LM3000 is enabled with a pre-biased master supply controlling track, the soft-start capacitor will control the  
tracking output voltage rise time. Pulling TRK down after a normal startup will cause the output voltage to follow  
the track signal.

Figure 20. Tracking with VOUT1 Controlling VOUT2  
Figure 20 shows a tracking example with the highest output voltage at VOUT1 controlling VOUT2. Tracking may be  
set so that VOUT1 and VOUT2 both rise together. For this case, the equation governing the values of the tracking  
divider resistors RT1 and RT2 is:  
RT1  
0.75 = VOUT1  
x
RT1 + RT2  
(3)  
A value of 10 k1% is recommended for RT1 as a good compromise between high precision and low quiescent  
current through the divider. Using an example of VOUT1 = 3.3V and VOUT2 = 1.2V, the value of RT2 is 34.4 k1%.  
A timing diagram for VOUT1 controlling VOUT2 is shown in Figure 21. Note that the TRK pin must finish at least 100  
mV higher than the 0.6V reference to achieve the full accuracy of the LM3000 regulation. To meet this  
requirement the tracking voltage is offset by 150 mV. The tracking output voltage will reach its final value at 80%  
of the controlling output voltage.

Alternatively, the tracking feature can be used to create equal slew rates for the output voltages. In order to track  
properly, use the highest output voltage to control the slew rate. In this case, the tracking resistors are found  
from:  
RT1  
VOUT2 = VOUT1  
x
RT1 + RT2  
(4)  
Again, a value of 10 k1% is recommended for RT1. For the example case of VOUT1 = 5V and VOUT2 = 1.8V, RT2  
is 17.8 k1%. A timing diagram for the case of equal slew rates is shown in Figure 22.  
Either method ensures that the output voltage of the tracking supply always reaches regulation before the output  
voltage of the controlling supply.

Continuous Conduction Mode  
The LM3000 controls the output voltage by adjusting the duty cycle of the power MOSFETs with trailing edge  
pulse width modulation. The output inductor and capacitor filter the square wave produced as the power  
MOSFETs switch the input voltage, thereby creating a regulated output voltage. The dc level of the output  
voltage is determined by feedback resistors using the following equation:  
RFBB + RFBT  
VOUT = 0.6 x  
RFBB  
(7)  
The output inductor current can flow from the drain to the source of the low-side MOSFET, which keeps the  
converter in continuous-conduction-mode (CCM). CCM has the advantage of constant frequency and nearly  
constant duty cycle (D = VOUT / VIN) over all load conditions, and also allows the converter to sink current at the  
output if needed.

FREQUENCY SETTING  
The switching frequency of the internal oscillator is set by a resistor, RFRQ, connected from the FREQ/SYNC pin  
to SGND. The proper resistor for a desired switching frequency fSW can be selected from the curves in the  
Typical Performance Characteristics section labeled “RFRQ vs Switching Frequency” or by using the following  
equation:

3.4 x 106  
where  
fSW is the switching frequency in Hz  
(8)  
FREQUENCY SYNCHRONIZATION  
The switching frequency of the LM3000 can be synchronized by an external clock or other fixed frequency signal  
in the range of 200 kHz to 1.5 MHz. The external clock should be applied through a 100 pF coupling capacitor as  
shown in Figure 27. In order for the oscillator to synchronize properly, the minimum amplitude of the SYNC  
signal is 2.2V and the maximum amplitude is VDD. The minimum pulse width both positive and negative is 100  
ns. The nominal dc voltage at the FREQ/SYNC pin is 0.6V, which is also the clamp voltage level for the falling  
edge of the SYNC pulse. Depending on the pulse width and frequency, CSYNC may be adjusted to provide  
sufficient amplitude of the signal at the FREQ/SYNC. It is possible to drive this pin directly from a 0 to 2.2V logic  
output, though not recommended for the typical application.  
Circuits that use an external clock should still have a resistor RFRQ connected from the FREQ/SYNC pin to  
ground. RFRQ is selected using the equation from the FREQUENCY SETTING section to match the external  
clock frequency. This allows the controller to continue operating at approximately the same switching frequency if  
the external clock fails and the coupling capacitor on the clock side is grounded or pulled to logic high.  
In the case of no external clock edges at startup, the internal oscillator will be controlled by the external set  
resistor until the first clock edge is detected. After the first edge, the PLL will lock within a few clock cycles, after  
which any missing edges will cause the oscillator to be programmed by RFRQ. If RFRQ is chosen to program the  
oscillator very close to the external clock frequency, the PLL will lock very quickly and there will be very little  
disturbance in the switching frequency.  
Care must be taken to prevent errant pulses from triggering the synchronization circuitry. In circuits that will not  
synchronize to an external clock, CSYNC should be connected from the FREQ/SYNC pin to SGND as a noise  
filter. When a clock pulse is first detected, the LM3000 begins switching at the external clock frequency. Noise or  
a short burst of clock pulses may result in variations of the switching frequency due to loss of lock by the PLL.

In the case where two LM3000 controllers are used, the CLKOUT of the first controller can be used as a

controller clock, so that the four phases of the two controllers are separated for minimum input ripple current.

MOSFET GATE DRIVE  
The LM3000 has two sets of gate drivers designed for driving N-channel MOSFETs in a synchronous mode.  
Power for the high-side driver is supplied through the VCB pin. For the high-side gate HG to turn on the top FET,  
the VCB voltage must be at least one VGS(th) greater than VIN. This voltage is supplied from a local charge pump  
which consists of a Schottky diode and bootstrap capacitor, shown in Figure 28. For the Schottky, a rating of at  
least 250 mA and 30V is recommended. A dual package may be used to supply both VCB1 and VCB2.  
Both the bootstrap and the low-side FET driver are fed from VDR, which is the output of a 5V internal linear  
regulator. This regulator has a dropout voltage of approximately 1V. The drive voltage for the top FET driver is  
about VDR - 0.5 at light load condition and about VDR at normal to full load condition. This information is needed  
to select the type of MOSFETs used, as well as calculate the losses in driving them.

UVLO  
For the case where VIN is > VDD, the VIN UVLO thresholds are determined by the VDD UVLO comparator and  
the VDD dropout voltage. This sets the rising threshold for VIN at approximately 3V, with 30 mV of hysteresis.  
For the case where VIN is < 5.5V and tied to VDD and VDR, the UVLO trip point is 2.12V rising. UVLO consists  
of turning off the top and bottom FETs and remaining in that condition until VDD rises above 2.12V. The falling  
trip point is 140 mV below the rising trip point.  
CURRENT LIMIT  
The current limit of the LM3000 is realized by sensing the current in the low-side FET while the output current  
circulates through it. This voltage (IOUT x RDS(on)_LO) is compared against the voltage of a fixed, internal 20 µA  
current source and a user-selected resistor, RLIM, connected between the switch node and the ILIM pin. Once a  
current limit event is sensed, the high-side switch is disabled for the following cycle and the low-side FET is kept  
on during this time. If sixteen consecutive current limit cycles occur, the part enters hiccup mode.  
The value of RLIM for a desired current limit IILIMIT can be selected by the following equation:  
ILIMIT x RDS(on)_LO  
RLIM  
=
20 éA  
(9)  
HICCUP MODE  
During hiccup mode the LM3000 disables both the high-side and low-side MOSFETs, and remains in this state  
for 4096 switching cycles. After this cool down period the circuit restarts again through the normal soft-start  
sequence. If the shorted fault condition persists, hiccup will retrigger once the soft-start has finished. This occurs  
when the SS voltage is greater than 0.7V and switching has reached the continuous conduction mode state.  
There is a coarse high-side current limit which senses the voltage across the high-side MOSFET. The threshold  
is approximately 0.5V, which may provide some level of protection for a catastrophic fault. Hiccup will  
immediately trigger after two consecutive high-side current limit fault events.

POWER GOOD  
Power good pins PGOOD1 and PGOOD2 are available to monitor the output status of the two channels  
independently. The PGOOD1 pin connects to the output of an open drain MOSFET, which will remain open while  
Channel 1 is within the normal operating range. PGOOD1 goes low (low impedance to ground) under the  
following three conditions:  
1. Channel 1 is turned off.  
2. OVP on Channel 1.  
3. UVP on Channel 1.  
PGOOD2 functions in a similar manner. UVP tracks REF1, REF2 as shown in the block diagram. OVP sets a  
fault which turns off the high gate and turns on the low gate. This discharges the output voltage until it has fallen  
3% below the OVP threshold.  
PGOOD may be pulled up through a resistor to any voltage which is < 5.5V. When using VDD for the pull-up  
voltage, a typical value of 100 kis used to minimize loading on VDD.  
ENABLE  
A fixed external voltage source and resistors to EN1 and EN2 are used to independently enable each output.  
The LM3000 can be put into a low power shutdown mode by pulling the EN1 and EN2 pins to ground, or by  
applying 0V to the enable resistors. During shutdown both the high-side and low-side FETs are disabled. The  
quiescent current during shutdown is approximately 30 µA.  
The enable pins also control the emulated current ramp amplitude by programming the current into EN1 and  
EN2. The recommended range for IEN is 40 μA to 160 μA. See the Application Information section under  
CONTROL LOOP COMPENSATION for the complete design method.  
APPLICATION INFORMATION  
The most common circuit controlled by the LM3000 is a non-isolated, synchronous buck regulator. The buck  
regulator steps down the input voltage and has a duty ratio D of:  
V
VIN  
1
h
OUT x  
D =  
where  
η is the estimated converter efficiency  
(10)  
The following is a design example selecting components for the Typical Application Schematic of Figure 43. The  
circuit is designed for two outputs of 3.3V at 8A and 1.2V at 15A from an input voltage of 6V to 18V. This circuit  
is typical of a ‘brick’ module and has a height requirement of 6.5mm or less. Other assumptions used to aid in  
circuit design are that the expected load is a small microprocessor or ASIC with fast load transients, and that the  
type of MOSFETs used are in SO-8 or its equivalent packages such as PowerPAK ®, PQFN and LFPAK (LFPAK-  
i).  
SWITCHING FREQUENCY  
The selection of switching frequency is based on the tradeoff between size, cost and efficiency. In general, a  
lower frequency means larger, more expensive inductors and capacitors. A higher switching frequency generally  
results in a smaller but less efficient solution, because the power MOSFET gate capacitances must be charged  
and discharged more often in a given amount of time. For this application a frequency of 500 kHz is selected.  
500 kHz is a good compromise between the size of the inductor and MOSFETs, transient response and  
efficiency. Following the equation given for RFRQ in the FREQUENCY SETTING section, for 500 kHz operation a  
42.2 k1% resistor is used.  
MOSFETS  
Selection of the power MOSFETs is governed by a tradeoff between size, cost and efficiency. Buck regulators  
that use a controller IC and discrete MOSFETs tend to be most efficient for output currents of 4A to 20A.

SNVS612B JULY 2009REVISED APRIL 2013  
Losses in the high-side FET can be broken down into conduction loss, gate charge loss and switching loss.  
Conduction, or I2R loss is approximately:  
PCOND_HI = D x (IOUT2 x RDS(on)_HI x 1.3) (High-side FET)  
PCOND_LO = D x (IOUT2 x RDS(on)_LO x 1.3) (Low-side FET)  
(11)  
(12)  
In the above equations the factor 1.3 accounts for the increase in MOSFET RDS(on) due to self heating.  
Alternatively, the 1.3 can be ignored and the RDS(on) of the MOSFET estimated using the RDS(on) vs. Temperature  
curves in the MOSFET datasheets.  
The gate charge loss results from the current driving the gate capacitance of the power MOSFETs, and is  
approximated as:  
PDR = VIN x (QG_HI + QG_LO) x fSW  
(13)  
Where QG_HI and QG_LO are the total gate charge of the high-side and low-side FETs respectively at the typical  
5V driver voltage. Gate charge loss differs from conduction and switching losses in that the majority of dissipation  
occurs in the LM3000.  
The switching loss occurs during the brief transition period as the FET turns on and off, during which both current  
and voltage are present in the channel of the FET. This can be approximated as the following:  
PSW_ON = VIN x IL_VL x a x RG_ON  
QGD  
VDR - VTH

+ CISS x Ln  
VDR œ VPLT1  
VDR - VPLT2

QGD  
VPLT2  
x
+ CISS x Ln  
VPLT2

Where QGD is the high-side FET Miller charge with a VDS swing between 0 to VIN; CISS is the input capacitance of  
the high-side MOSFET in its off state with VDS = VIN. α and β are fitting coefficient numbers, which are usually  
between 0.5 to 1, depending on the board level parasitic inductances and reverse recovery of the low-side power  
MOSFET body diode. Under ideal condition, setting α = β = 0.5 is a good starting point. Other variables are  
defined as:  
IL_VL = IOUT - 0.5 x ΔIL  
IL_PK = IOUT + 0.5 x ΔIL

RG_ON = 8.5 + RG_INT + RG_EXT  
RG_OFF = 2.8 + RG_INT + RG_EXT  
Switching loss is calculated for the high-side FET only. 8.5 and 2.8 represent the LM3000 high-side driver  
resistance in the transient region. RG_INT is the gate resistance of the high-side FET, and RG_EXT is the external  
gate resistance if applicable. RG_EXT may be used to damp out excessive parasitic ringing at the switch node.  
For this example, the maximum drain-to-source voltage applied to either MOSFET is 18V. The maximum drive  
voltage at the gate of the high-side MOSFET is 5V, and the maximum drive voltage for the low-side MOSFET is  
5V. The selected MOSFET must be able to withstand 18V plus any ringing from drain to source, and be able to  
handle at least 5V plus ringing from gate to source. If the duty cycle of the converter is small, then the high-side  
MOSFET should be selected with a low gate charge in order to minimize switching loss whereas the bottom  
MOSFET should have a low RDSONto minimize conduction loss.  
For a typical input voltage of 12V and output currents of 8A and 12A, the MOSFET selections for the design  
example are HAT2168 for the high-side MOSFET and RJK0330DPB for the low-side MOSFET.  
A 3resistor for RCBT is added in series with the VDR regulator output, as shown in Figure 43. This helps to  
control the MOSFET turn-on and ringing at the switch node, without affecting the MOSFET turn-off.

To improve efficiency, 3A, 40V Schottky diodes are placed across the low-side MOSFETs. The external Schottky  
diodes have a much lower forward voltage than the MOSFET body diode, and help to minimize the loss due to  
the body diode recovery characteristic.  
OUTPUT INDUCTORS  
The first criterion for selecting an output inductor is the inductance itself. In most buck converters, this value is  
based on the desired peak-to-peak ripple current, ΔIL that flows in the inductor along with the load current. As  
with switching frequency, the selection of the inductor is a tradeoff between size and cost. Higher inductance  
means lower ripple current and hence lower output voltage ripple. Lower inductance results in smaller, less  
expensive devices. An inductance that gives a ripple current of 1/6 to 1/3 of the maximum output current is a  
good starting point. (ΔIL = (1/6 to 1/3) x IOUT). Minimum inductance is calculated from this value, using the  
maximum input voltage as:  
VIN(MAX) - VOUT  
x D  
LMIN  
=
fSW x DIL  
(22)  
By calculating in terms of amperes, volts, and megahertz, the inductance value will come out in micro henries.  
The inductor ripple current is found from the minimum inductance equation:  
VIN(MAX) - VOUT  
x D  
DIL =  
fSW x LACTUAL  
(23)  
The second criterion is inductor saturation current rating. The LM3000 has an accurately programmed valley  
current limit. During an instantaneous short, the peak inductor current can be very high due to a momentary  
increase in duty cycle. Since this is limited by the coarse high-side switch current limit, it is advised to select an  
inductor with a larger core saturation margin and preferably a softer roll off of the inductance value over load  
current.  
For the design example, standard values of 1.2 μH for the 1.2V, 15A output and 2.7 μH for the 3.3V, 8A output  
are chosen to fall within the ΔIL = (1/6 to 1/3) x IOUT range.  
The dc loss in the inductor is determined by its series resistance RL. The dc power dissipation is found from:  
PDC = IOUT2 x RL  
(24)  
The ac loss can be estimated from the inductor manufacturer’s data, if available. The ac loss is set by the peak-  
to-peak ripple current ΔIL and the switching frequency fSW  
.
OUTPUT CAPACITORS  
The output capacitors filter the inductor ripple current and provide a source of charge for transient load  
conditions. A wide range of output capacitors may be used with the LM3000 that provide excellent performance.  
The best performance is typically obtained using aluminum electrolytic, tantalum, polymer, solid aluminum,  
organic or niobium type chemistries in parallel with a ceramic capacitor. The ceramic capacitor provides  
extremely low impedance to reduce the output ripple voltage and noise spikes, while the aluminum or other  
capacitors provide a larger bulk capacitance for transient loading and series resistance for stability.  
When selecting the value for the output capacitor the two performance characteristics to consider are the output  
voltage ripple and transient response. The output voltage ripple can be approximated as:  
2

DVO = DIL x  
RC  
+
8 x fSW x CO  
where  
ΔVO (V) is the peak to peak output voltage ripple  
ΔIL (A) is the peak to peak inductor ripple current  
RC () is the equivalent series resistance or ESR of the output capacitor  
fSW (Hz) is the switching frequency  
CO (F) is the output capacitance

The amount of output ripple that can be tolerated is application specific. A general recommendation is to keep  
the output ripple less than 1% of the rated output voltage. The output capacitor selection will also affect the  
output voltage droop and overshoot during a load transient. The peak transient of the output voltage during a  
load current step is dependent on many factors. Given sufficient control loop bandwidth an approximation of the  
transient voltage can be obtained from:

This shows that as the input voltage approaches VOUT, the transient droop will get worse. The recovery  
overshoot remains fairly constant.

Output Capacitor Design Procedure  
For the design example VIN = 12V, VOUT = 3.3V, D = VOUT / VIN = 0.275, L = 2.7 μH, ΔIL = 1.8A, ΔIO = 8A and VP  
= 0.15V.  
To meet the transient voltage specification, the maximum RC is:  
VP  
RC Ç

For the design example, the maximum RC is 18.75 m. Choose RC = 15 mas the design limit.  
From the equation for VP, the minimum value of CO is:

For D < 0.5, VL = VOUT

With RC = VP / ΔIO this reduces to:

With RC = 0 this reduces to:

Since D < 0.5, VL = VOUT. With RC = 15 m, the minimum value for CO is 218 μF.

For the design example, the minimum value for fC is 39 kHz. A 220 μF, 15 mpolymer capacitor in parallel with  
a 22 μF, 3 mceramic will meet the target output voltage ripple and transient specification.  
For the 1.2V, 15A output, two 220 μF, 15 mpolymer capacitors in parallel with a 22 μF, 3 mceramic are  
chosen to meet the target design specifications.  
INPUT CAPACITORS  
The input capacitors for a buck regulator are used to smooth the large current pulses drawn by the inductor and  
load when the high-side MOSFET is on. Due to this large ac stress, input capacitors are usually selected on the  
basis of their ac rms current rating rather than bulk capacitance. Low ESR is beneficial because it reduces the  
power dissipation in the capacitors. Although any of the capacitor types mentioned in the OUTPUT  
CAPACITORS section can be used, ceramic capacitors are common because of their low series resistance. In  
general the input to a buck converter does not require as much bulk capacitance as the output.  
The input capacitors should be selected for rms current rating and minimum ripple voltage. The equation for the  
rms current and power loss of the input capacitor in a single phase can be estimated as:  
ICIN(RMS)  
D x (1 œ D)  
ö IO x  
ö IO2 x D x (1 œ D) x RCIN  
PCIN  
where  
IO (A) is the output load current  
RCIN () is the series resistance of the input capacitor  
(33)  
Since the maximum values occur at D = 0.5, a good estimate of the input capacitor rms current rating in a single  
phase is one-half of the maximum output current.  
Neglecting the series inductance of the input capacitance, the input voltage ripple for a single phase can be  
estimated as:  
DIL  
IO x D x (1 œ D)  
x RCIN  
+
IO +  
DVIN  
=
CIN x fSW

By defining the maximum input voltage ripple, the minimum requirement for the input capacitance can be  
calculated as:  
IO x D x (1 œ D)  
CIN  
í
DIL  
DVIN  
œ
IO +  
x RCIN

(35)  
For the dual output design operating 180° out of phase, the general equation for the input capacitor rms current  
is approximated as:  
(I12 x D1) + (I22 x D2)  
ICIN(RMS)  
ö
+ (2 x I1 x I2 x D3)  
œ (I1 x D1 + I2 x D2)2  
(36)  
Where the output currents are I1, I2 and the duty cycles are D1, D2 respectively. D3 represents the overlapping  
effective duty cycle, which adds to the RMS current.  
D3 = MAX(MIN(D1 œ 0.5 , D2) , 0)  
+ MAX(MIN(D2 œ 0.5 , D1) , 0)  
(37)  
If D > 0.5 for both or D < 0.5 for both, the worst case rms current occurs with one output at full load and the other  
at no load. The maximum rms current can be approximated as:  
ICIN(RMS)MAX ö 0.5 x MAX(I1 , I2)

In most applications for point-of-load power supplies, the input voltage is the output of another switching  
converter. This output often has a lot of bulk capacitance, which may provide adequate damping.  
When the converter is connected to a remote input power source through a wiring harness, a resonant circuit is  
formed by the line impedance and the input capacitors. If step input voltage transients are expected near the  
maximum rating of the LM3000, a careful evaluation of the ringing and possible overshoot at the device VIN pin  
should be completed. To minimize overshoot make CIN > 10 x LIN. The characteristic source impedance and  
resonant frequency are:  
LIN

where  
RLIN is the input wiring resistance  
RCIN is the series resistance of the input capacitors  
(42)  
The term ZS / ZIN will always be negative due to ZIN.  
When δ = 1, the input filter is critically damped. This may be difficult to achieve with practical component values.  
With δ < 0.2, the input filter will exhibit significant ringing. If δ is zero or negative, there is not enough resistance  
in the circuit and the input filter will sustain an oscillation.  
When operating near the minimum input voltage, an aluminum electrolytic capacitor across CIN may be needed  
to damp the input for a typical bench test setup. Any parallel capacitor should be evaluated for its rms current  
rating. The current will split between the ceramic and aluminum capacitors based on the relative impedance at  
the switching frequency. Using a square wave approximation, the rms current in each capacitor is found from:

For the design example allowing 0.25V input voltage ripple, the worst case occurs for the 3.3V, 8A output at D =  
0.5. The minimum value is CIN = 16 μF. For the 1.2V, 15A output, the worst case D = 1.2V / 6V = 0.2. Then CIN  
4.8 μF. Find the rms current rating for each from:  
=
ICIN(RMS) ö IO x  
D x (1 œ D)  
(45)  
Using the same criteria, results are 4A rms for the 3.3V phase and 3A rms for the 1.2V phase. Manufacturer data  
for 10 μF, 25V, X5R capacitors in a 1206 package allows for 3A rms with a 20°C temperature rise. For the  
design example, using two ceramic capacitors for each phase will meet both the input voltage ripple and rms  
current target. Since the series resistance is so low at about 5 mper capacitor, a parallel aluminum electrolytic  
is used for damping. A good general rule is to make the damping capacitor at least five times the value of the  
ceramic. By sizing the aluminum such that it is primarily resistive at the switching frequency, the design is greatly  
simplified since the ceramic is primarily reactive. In this case the approximation for the rms current in the  
damping capacitor is:  
ICIN(RMS)  
ICIN2(RMS)  
ö
2.2 x p x fSW x RCIN2 x CIN1  
where  
CIN2 is the damping capacitance  
RCIN2 is its series resistance  
CIN1 is the ceramic capacitance  
(46)  
A 150 μF, 50V, 0.18, 670 mA capacitor in a 10 mm x 10.2 mm package is chosen for each input. Calculated  
rms current for the 3.3V phase is 322 mA, with 242 mA calculated for the 1.2V phase.  
CURRENT LIMIT  
For the design example, the desired current limit set point is chosen to be 150% of the maximum load current.  
To account for the tolerance of the internal current source and allowing RDS(on) = 4 mfor the low-side MOSFET  
at elevated temperature, a target of 23A is used for the 1.2V output, with 13A for the 3.3V output. Following the  
equation from the CURRENT LIMIT section the values for RLIM are 4.64 k, 1% for the 1.2V output and 2.67 k,  
1% for the 3.3V output.  
TRACK  
Tracking for the design example is configured such that VOUT1 is controlling VOUT2. The divider values are set so  
that both outputs will rise together, with VOUT2 reaching its final value just before VOUT1. Following the method in  
the TRACKING section and allowing for a 120 mV offset between FB and TRK, standard 1% values are selected  
for RT1 = 10 kand RT2 = 35.7 k.  
SOFT START  
To prevent over-shoot, the soft start time is set to be longer than the time it would take to charge the output  
voltage at current limit. Following the equations in the STARTUP section for VOUT1 and VOUT2  
:
tSS1(MIN) = (3.3V x 242 μF) / (13A - 8A) = 160 μs  
(47)  
(48)  
tSS2(MIN) = (1.2V x 462 μF) / (23A - 15A) = 69 μs  
Choosing a value of CSS1 = 27 nF, the soft start time is:  
tSS1 = (27 nF x 0.6V) / 8.5 μA = 1.9 ms  
(49)  
To ensure that VOUT2 tracks VOUT1, tSS2 is set at two-thirds of tSS1 by making CSS2 = 18 nF.  
VDD, VDR and VCB CAPACITORS  
VDD is used as the supply for the internal control and logic circuitry. A 1 μF ceramic capacitor provides sufficient  
filtering for VDD.

VDR provides power for both the high-side and low-side MOSGET gate drives, and is sized to meet the total

To use the minimum number of different components, CVDR and CBOOT are also selected as 1 μF ceramic for the

CONTROL LOOP COMPENSATION  
The LM3000 uses emulated peak current-mode PWM control to correct changes in output voltage due to line and  
load transients. This unique architecture combines the fast line transient response of peak current-mode control  
with the ability to regulate at very low duty cycles. In order to facilitate the use of MOSFET RDS(on) sensing, the  
control ramp is set by the enable voltage and a resistor to the enable pin. This stabilizes the modulator gain from  
variations in MOSFET resistance over temperature, providing a robust design solution.  
The control loop is comprised of two parts. The first is the power stage, which consists of the duty cycle  
modulator, output filter and load. The second part is the error amplifier, which is a transconductance amplifier  
with a typical gm of 1400 μmho (or 1400 μS). Figure 29 shows the power stage and error amplifier components.

Figure 32. Current Sense Amplifier Phase  
A relatively high value of slope compensating ramp is used to stabilize the gain. This minimizes the effect of the  
current sense filter on the control loop and swamps out the need for a sampling-gain term. When designing  
within the recommended operating range, there is no tendency toward sub-harmonic oscillation. The proportional  
slope compensation is defined as:

(55)  
ISL is the internal current source scale factor, KSW is the switching frequency correction factor and IEN is the  
external enable current. The recommended range for IEN is 40 μA to 160 μA. With VEN = 5V, this corresponds to  
a range for REN of 25 kto 100 k. For operation below 4.2V input, the maximum enable current is limited, as  
shown in Figure 33. At the minimum input of 3.3V, a value of 80 μA maximum corresponds to REN = 50 kwith  
VEN = 5V. The minimum enable current is set by the enable bias circuit to ensure proper turn-on above the  
threshold. A minimum enable voltage of 3V is recommended to keep the temperature coefficient of the 0.75V  
internal VBE from becoming a significant error term.

Typical frequency response of the gain and the phase for the power stage are shown in Figure 34 and Figure 35.

The effective total PWM ramp height is controlled by REN. Higher REN creates a higher ramp voltage, providing  
more noise immunity and less variation in the modulator gain over temperature. Lower REN requires less RC  
(output capacitor ESR) for the desired phase margin and a more ideal current-mode behavior.  
Figure 36 shows the transconductance amplifier network, which takes the output impedance of the amplifier and  
the internal filter into account. To simplify the analysis, the 12.75 kand 10 pF internal filter is absorbed into the  
transconductance amplifier. This produces an equivalent REA = 15 Mand CBW = 22 pF for an effective 10 MHz

In general, the goal of the compensation circuit is to give high dc gain, a bandwidth that is between one-fifth and  
one-tenth of the switching frequency, and at least 45° of phase margin.  
Control Loop Design Procedure  
Once the power stage design is complete, the power stage components are used to determine the proper  
frequency compensation. By equating the power stage transfer function to the error amplifier transfer function  
term by term, the control loop design procedure targets an ideal single-pole system response.  
The compensation components will scale from the feedback divider ratio and selection of the bottom feedback  
divider resistor. A maximum value for the divider current is typically set at 1 mA. Using a divider current of 200  
μA will allow for a reasonable range of values. For the bottom feedback resistor RFBB = VREF / 200 μA = 3 k.

The complete control loop transfer function is equal to the product of the power stage transfer function and error  
amplifier transfer function. For the Bode plots, the overall loop gain is the equal to the sum in dB and the overall  
phase is equal to the sum in degrees. Results are shown in Figure 41 and Figure 42. The crossover frequency is  
100 kHz with a phase margin of 75°.

Figure 42. Control Loop Phase  
Compensator design for the 1.2V output is similar. With VREF = 0.6V, the feedback divider resistors are chosen  
as RFBB = RFBT = 22.6 k. This results in a divider current of about 25 μA, which is considered to be the  
minimum acceptable level. With VEN = 5V, the nearest standard value to meet the optimal enable current is REN  
= 62 k. For a target crossover frequency of 100 kHz, standard values are CFF = 220 pF, CHF = 10 pF, CCOMP  
2200 pF and RCOMP = 10 k.

For the small-signal analysis, it is assumed that the control voltage at the COMP pin is dc. In practice, the output  
ripple voltage is amplified by the error amplifier gain at the switching frequency, which appears at the COMP pin  
adding to the control ramp. This tends to reduce the modulator gain, which may lower the actual control loop  
crossover frequency.  
Efficiency and Thermal Considerations  
The total power dissipated in the power components can be obtained by adding together the loss as mentioned  
in the MOSFET, input capacitor, output capacitor and output inductor sections.  
The efficiency is defined as:  
POUT  
h =  
POUT + PTOTAL_LOSS  
(67)  
The highest power dissipating components are the power MOSFETs. The easiest way to determine the power  
dissipated in the MOSFETs is to measure the total conversion loss (PIN - POUT), then subtract the power loss in  
the capacitors, inductors and LM3000. The resulting power loss is primarily in the switching MOSFETs. Selecting  
MOSFETs with exposed pads will aid the power dissipation of these devices. Careful attention to RDS(on) at high  
temperature should be observed.  
LM3000 OPERATING LOSS  
This term accounts for the current drawn at the VIN pin, used for driving the logic circuitry and the power  
MOSFETs. For the LM3000, this current is equal to the steady state operating current Iq plus the MOSFET gate  
charge current IGC, which is defined as:  
IGC = (QG_HI + QG_LO) x fSW  
(68)  
PD = VIN x (Iq + IGC  
)
where  
PD represents the total power dissipated in the LM3000

Iq is about 5 mA from the Electrical Characteristics table. The LM3000 has an exposed thermal pad to aid power  
dissipation.  
Layout Considerations  
To produce an optimal power solution with a switching converter, as much care must be taken with the layout  
and design of the printed circuit board as with the component selection. The following are several guidelines to  
aid in creating a good layout.  
KELVIN TRACES FOR GATE DRIVE AND SENSE LINES  
The HG and SW pins provide the gate drive and return for the high-side MOSFET. Likewise the LG and PGND  
pins provide the gate drive and return for the low-side MOSFET. These lines should run as parallel pairs to each  
MOSFET, being connected as close as possible to the respective MOSFET gate and source. Although it may be  
difficult in a compact design, these lines should stay away from the output inductor if possible, to avoid stray  
coupling.  
The EA_GND pins should also be connected with a separate Kelvin trace, running from the output ground sense  
point. The sense output, which is connecting to the top of the feedback resistor divider, should also run with a  
dedicated Kelvin trace together with the EA_GND. Keep these lines away from the switch node and output  
inductor to avoid stray coupling. If possible, the FB and EA_GND traces should be shielded from the switch node  
by ground planes. If necessary, the feedback divider impedance may be lowered to improve noise immunity.  
SEPARATE PGND AND SGND  
Good layout techniques include a dedicated signal ground plane, usually on an internal layer adjacent to the  
LM3000 and signal component side of the board. Signal level components like the compensation and feedback  
resistors should be connected to this internal plane. The SGND pin should connect directly to the DAP, with vias  
from the DAP to the signal ground plane. Separate power ground plane areas for each phase should be made on  
the power component side of the board, as well as other layers. This allows separate lines for each PGND pin to  
connect to its respective power ground plane area at each low-side MOSFET source. The signal ground plane is  
then connected to a quiet point on each power ground plane area. These connections are typically made at the  
common input/output power terminals or capacitor returns. An equivalent schematic representation is shown in  
the Typical Application Schematic of Figure 43.  
MINIMIZE THE SWITCH NODE  
The copper area that connects the power MOSFETs and output inductor together radiates more EMI as it gets  
larger. Use just enough copper to give low impedance for the switching currents and provide adequate heat  
spreading for the MOSFETs.  
LOW IMPEDANCE POWER PATH  
In a buck regulator the primary switching loop consists of the input capacitor connection to the MOSFETs.  
Minimizing the area of this loop reduces the stray inductance, which minimizes noise and possible erratic  
operation. The ceramic input capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the MOSFETs, with the VIN  
side of the capacitors connected directly to the high-side MOSFET drain, and the PGND side of the capacitors  
connected as close as possible to the low-side source. The complete power path includes the input capacitors,  
power MOSFETs, output inductor, and output capacitors. Keep these components on the same side of the board  
and connect them with thick traces or copper planes. Avoid connecting these components through vias whenever  
possible, as vias add inductance and resistance. In general, the power components should be kept close  
together, minimizing the circuit board losses.
