DESCRIPTION  
The UCD7242 is a complete power system ready to drive two independent buck power supplies (see Figure 1).  
High side MOSFETs, low side MOSFETs, drivers, current sensing circuitry and necessary protection functions  
are all integrated into one monolithic solution to facilitate minimum size and maximum efficiency. Driver circuits  
provide high charge and discharge current for the high-side NMOS switch and the low-side NMOS synchronous  
rectifier in a synchronous buck circuit. The MOSFET gates are driven to +6.25 V by an internally regulated VGG  
supply. The internal VGG regulator can be disabled to permit the user to supply an independent gate drive  
voltage. This flexibility allows a wide power conversion input voltage range of 2.2V to 18V. Internal under voltage  
lockout (UVLO) logic ensures VGG is good before allowing chip operation.  
The synchronous rectifier enable (SRE) pin controls whether or not the low-side MOSFET is turned on when the  
PWM signal is low. When SRE is high the part operates in continuous conduction mode for all loads. In this  
mode the drive logic block uses the PWM signal to control both the high-side and low-side gate drive signals.  
Dead time is also optimized to prevent cross conduction. When SRE is low, the part operates in discontinuous  
conduction mode at light loads. In this mode the low-side MOSFET is always held off.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with  
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.  
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more  
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.  
DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)  
On-board comparators monitor the current through the high side switch to safeguard the power stage from  
sudden high current loads. Blanking delay is set for the high side comparator to avoid false reports coincident  
with switching edge noise. In the event of an over-current fault, the high-side FET is turned off and the Fault Flag  
(FLT) is asserted to alert the controller.  
MOSFET current is measured and monitored by a precision integrated current sense element. This method  
provides an accuracy of ±5% over most of the load range. The amplified signal is available for use by the  
controller on the IMON pin.  
An on-chip temperature sense converts the die temperature to a voltage at the TMON pin for the controller’s use.  
If the die temperature exceeds 170°C, the temperature sensor initiates a thermal shutdown that halts output  
switching and sets the FLT flag. Normal operation resumes when the die temperature falls below the thermal  
hysteresis band.

PWM-B  
I
High impedance digital input capable of accepting 3.3V or 5 V logic level signals up to 2 MHz. A  
Schmitt trigger input comparator desensitizes this pin from external noise. This pin controls the state of  
the high side MOSFET and the low side MOSFET when SRE-B is high.

SRE-B  
BST_B  
I
Synchronous Rectifier Enable input for the B-channel. High impedance digital input capable of  
accepting 3.3V or 5V logic level signals used to control the synchronous rectifier switch. An appropriate  
anti-cross-conduction delay is used during synchronous mode.  
I
I
Connection for the B-channel charge pump capacitor that provides a floating supply for the high side  
driver. Connect a 0.22mF ceramic capacitor from this pin to BSW-B (pin 4).  
4
5
BSW-B  
VGG  
Connection for B-channel charge pump capacitor. Internally connected to SW-B.  
I/O Gate drive voltage for the power MOSFETs. For VIN ± 4.75V, the internal VGG generator can be used.  
For VIN > 4.75 V, this pin should be driven from an external bias supply. When externally driven,  
VGG_DIS must be tied to VGG. In all cases, bypass this pin with a 4.7mF (min), 10V (min) ceramic  
capacitor to PGND.  
6

VGG_DIS  
IMON-B  
I
When tied to VGG, disables the on-chip VGG generator to allow gate drive voltage to be supplied from  
an external source. This is required when VIN is < 4.75V. To use the internal VGG generator, tie to  
GND.  
O
MOSFET current sense monitor output. Provides a current source output that is proportional to the  
current flowing in the power MOSFETs. The gain on this pin is equal to 20mA/A. The IMON pin should  
be connected to a resistor to GND to produce a voltage proportional to the power-stage load current.

testmode  
FLT-B  
I
Test mode only. Tie to GND.  
O
Fault flag for the B-channel. This signal is a 3.3V digital output which is latched high when the current  
in the B-channel high-side FET exceeds the current limit trip point. When tripped, high-side FET drive  
pulses are truncated to limit output current. FLT is cleared after one complete switching cycle without a  
fault. Additionally, if the die temperature exceeds 170°C, the temperature sensor will initiate a thermal  
shutdown that halts output switching and sets the FLT flag. Normal operation resumes when the die  
temperature falls below the thermal hysteresis band.

11, 16  
PGND  
NC  
Shared power ground return for the buck power stage  
No internal connection. It is recommended that these pins be tied to PGND.  
13  
SW-B  
Switching node of the B-channel buck power stage and square wave input to the buck inductor.  
Electrically this is the connection of the high side MOSFET source to the low side MOSFET drain.  
14  
18  
SW-A  
FLT-A  
Switching node of the A-channel buck power stage and square wave input to the buck inductor.  
Electrically this is the connection of the high side MOSFET source to the low side MOSFET drain.  
O
Fault flag for the A-channel. This signal is a 3.3V digital output which is latched high when the current  
in the A-channel high-side FET exceeds the current limit trip point. When tripped, high-side FET drive  
pulses are truncated to limit output current. FLT is cleared after one complete switching cycle without a  
fault. Additionally, if the die temperature exceeds 170°C, the temperature sensor initiates a thermal  
shutdown that halts output switching and sets the FLT flag. Normal operation resumes when the die  
temperature falls below the thermal hysteresis band.

TMON  
O
O
Temperature sense pin. The voltage on this pin is proportional to the die temperature. The gain is  
10mV/°C. At TJ = 0°C, the output voltage has an offset of 0.47V. When the die temperature reaches  
the thermal shutdown threshold, this pin is pulled to BP3 and the power FETs are switched off. When  
the die temperature falls below the thermal hysteresis band, the FLT flag clears and normal operation  
resumes.  
IMON -A  
MOSFET current sense monitor output. Provides a current source output that is proportional to the  
current flowing in the power MOSFETs. The gain on this pin is equal to 20mA/A. The IMON pin should  
be connected to a resistor to GND to produce a voltage proportional to the power-stage load current.  
21  
22  
GND  
BP3  
Analog ground return.  
O
Output of internal 3.3V LDO regulator for powering internal logic circuits. Bypass this pin with 1mF  
(min) to GND. This LDO is supplied by the VGG pin.  
23  
24  
BSW-A  
BST-A  
Connection for A-channel charge pump capacitor. Internally connected to SW-A.  
Connection for the A-channel charge pump capacitor that provides a floating supply for the high side  
driver. Connect a 0.22mF ceramic cap from this pin to BSW-A (pin 23).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION  
PWM INPUT  
The PWM input pin accepts the digital signal from the controller that represents the desired high-side FET on  
time. This input is designed to accept 3.3V logic levels, but is also tolerant of 5V input levels. The SRE pin sets  
the behavior of the PWM pin. When the SRE pin is asserted high, the device is placed in synchronous mode. In  
this mode, the timing duration of the high-side gate drive and the low-side gate drive are both controlled by the  
PWM input signal. When PWM is high, the high-side MOSFET is on and the low-side MOSFET is off. When  
PWM is low, the high-side MOSFET is off and the low-side MOSFET is on. An optimized anti-cross-conduction  
delay is introduced to ensure the proper FET is turned off before the other FET is turned on. When the SRE pin  
is asserted low, the device is placed in non-synchronous mode. In this mode the PWM input only controls the  
high-side MOSFET. When PMW is high, the high-side MOSFET is on. The low side FET is always held off.  
The PWM input supports a 3-state detection feature. It can detect if the PWM input signal has entered a 3-state  
mode. When 3-state mode is detected, both the high-side and low-side MOSFETs are held off. To support this  
mode, the PWM input pin has an internal pull-up resistor of approximately 50kto 3.3V and a 50kpull-down  
resistor to ground. During normal operation, the PWM input signal swings below 0.8V and above 2.5V. If the  
source driving the PWM pin enters a 3-state or high impedance state, the internal pull-up/pull down resistors will  
tend to pull the voltage on the PWM pin to 1.65V. If the voltage on the PWM pin remains within the 0.8V to 2.5V  
3-state detection band for longer than tHLD_R, 3-state detection hold-off time, then the device enters 3-state mode  
and turns both MOSFETs off. This behavior occurs regardless of the state of the SRE pin. When exiting 3-state  
mode, PWM should first be asserted low and SRE High. This ensures that the bootstrap capacitor is recharged  
before attempting to turn on the high-side FET. The logic threshold of this pin typically exhibits 900mV of  
hysteresis to provide noise immunity and ensure glitch-free operation.  
SRE INPUT  
The SRE (Synchronous Rectifier Enable) pin is a high impedance digital input. It is designed to accept 3.3V logic  
levels, but is also tolerant of 5V levels. When asserted high, the operation of the low-side synchronous rectifier  
FET is enabled. The state of the low-side MOSFET is governed by the PWM input. When SRE is asserted low,  
the low-side FET is continuously held low, keeping the FET off. While held off, current flow in the low-side FET is  
restricted to its intrinsic body diode. The logic threshold of this pin typically exhibits 900mV of hysteresis to  
provide noise immunity and ensure glitch-free operation.  
VIN  
VIN supplies power to the internal circuits of the device. The input power is conditioned by an internal linear  
regulator that provides the VGG gate drive voltage. A second regulator that operates off of the VGG rail produces  
an internal 3.3V supply that powers the internal analog and digital functional blocks. The VGG regulator produces  
a nominal 6.2V. The output of the VGG regulator is monitored by the Under-Voltage Lock Out (UVLO) circuitry.  
The device will not attempt to produce gate drive pulses until the VGG voltage is above the UVLO threshold. This  
ensures that there is sufficient voltage available to drive the power FETs into saturation when switching activity  
begins. To use the internal VGG regulator, VIN should be at least 4.7V. When performing power conversion with  
VIN values less than 4.7V, the gate drive voltage must be supplied externally. (See VGG and VGG DIS sections  
for details.)  
VGG  
The VGG pin is the gate drive voltage for the high current gate driver stages. For VIN > 4.75V, the internal VGG  
generator can be used. For VIN < 4.75 V, this pin should be driven from an external bias supply. When using the  
internal regulator, the VGG_DIS pin should be tied low. When using an external VGG, VGG_DIS must be tied to  
VGG. Current is drawn from the VGG supply in fast, high-current pulses. A 4.7mF ceramic capacitor (10V  
minimum) should be connected from the VGG pin to the PGND pin as close as possible to the package. Whether  
internally or externally supplied, the voltage on the VGG pin is monitored by the ULVO circuitry. The voltage must  
be higher than the UVLO threshold before power conversion can occur. The average current drawn from the VGG  
supply is dependant on the switching frequency, the absolute value of VGG and the total gate charge of the power  
FETs inside the device.

VGG_DIS  
This pin, when asserted high, disables the on-chip VGG linear regulator. When tied low, the VGG linear regulator  
is used to derive VGG from VIN. This pin is designed to be permanently tied high or low depending on the power  
architecture being implemented. It is not intended to be switched dynamically while the device is in operation.  
SW  
The SW pin is the switching node of the power conversion stage. When configured as a synchronous buck, the  
voltage swing on SW normally traverses from slightly below ground to above VIN. Parasitic inductance in the  
high-side FET conduction path and the output capacitance (Coss) of the low side FET form a resonant circuit  
than can produce high frequency ( > 100MHz) ringing on this node. The voltage peak of this ringing will exceed  
VIN. Care must be taken not to exceed the maximum voltage rating of this pin. The main areas available to  
impact this amplitude are: the driver voltage magnitude (VGG) and the parasitic source and return paths for the  
MOSFET (VIN, PGND). In some cases, a series resistor and capacitor snubber network connected from this pin  
to PGND can be helpful in damping the ringing and decreasing the peak amplitude. In general this should not be  
necessary due to the integrated nature of this part.  
BST  
The BST pin provides the drive voltage for the high-side FET. A bootstrap capacitor is connected from this pin to  
the BST-SW node. Internally, a diode connects the BST pin to the VGG supply. In normal operation, when the  
high side FET is off and the low-side FET is on, the SW node is pulled to ground and, thus, holds one side of the  
bootstrap capacitor at ground potential. The other side of the bootstrap capacitor is clamped by the internal diode  
to VGG. The voltage across the bootstrap capacitor at this point is the magnitude of the gate drive voltage  
available to switch-on the high-side FET. The bootstrap capacitor should be a low ESR ceramic type, a minimum  
value of 0.22mF is recommended.  
In order to ensure that the bootstrap capacitor has sufficient time to recharge, the steady-state duty cycle must  
not exceed what is shown in Figure 13. The curve in Figure 13 is for CBST= 0.22µF. Different values of CBST will  
have different DMAX limitations.

BST-SW  
Electrically this node is the same as the SW pin. However, it is physically closer to the BST pin so as to minimize  
parasitic inductance effects of trace routing to the BST capacitor. Keeping the external traces short should  
minimize turn on and off times.  
This pin is not sized for conducting inductor current and should not be tied to the SW pin. It is only for the BST  
pin capacitor connection.

IMON  
MOSFET current sense monitor output. This pin provides a current source output that is proportional to the  
current flowing in the power MOSFETs. The gain on this pin is equal to 20mA/A. The IMON pin should be  
connected to a resistor to GND to produce a voltage proportional to the power-stage load current. For example, a  
value of 10kΩ to ground produces a voltage of 2.0V when the power stage current is 10A.The accuracy of the  
reported current is a function of the peak to peak ripple current in the inductor (ΔI). The nominal behavior is  
described by Equation 1. The plot illustrates the possible variability in the sensed current as a function of load for  
a ΔI=4A. If no PWM is detected for 8µs IMON will report 0V.

Figure 15. Typical Characteristics  
If the junction temperature exceeds approximately 170°C, the device will enter thermal shutdown. This will assert  
the FLT pin, both MOSFETs will be turned off and the switch node will go high impedance. When the junction  
temperature cools by approximately 20°C, the device will exit thermal shutdown and resume switching as  
directed by the PWM and SRE pins. During a thermal shutdown event, the voltage on the Temp pin is driven to  
3.3V.  
FLT  
This signal is a 3.3V digital output which is latched high when the current in the high-side FET exceeds the  
current limit trip point. When tripped, high-side FET drive pulses are truncated to limit output current. FLT is  
cleared on the falling edge of the first PWM pulse without a fault. Additionally, if the die temperature exceeds  
170°C, the temperature sensor will initiate a thermal shutdown that halts output switching and sets the FLT flag.  
Normal operation resumes when the die temperature falls below the thermal hysteresis band. The FLT flag will  
clear after a PWM pulse occurs without a fault. Current limit is ignored during the high side blanking time. If an  
over current event occurs during the blanking time the part will not initiate current limit for ~50ns.

PRE-BIAS OPERATION  
The UCD7242 has no problem starting up into pre-biased output voltages. However, when one channel is held in  
tri-state and the second channel is actively switching, the tri-stated channel may generate a DC voltage through  
weak capacitive coupling between SW-A and SW-B. This coupling comes principally from the close proximity of  
the switch nodes on the silicon and the PWB layout.  
There are several options to address this concern.  
1. The device(s) that the UCD7242 is powering on a 3-stated channel has a known current draw at  
sub-regulation voltage levels. This current draw may be sufficient to hold the voltage down.  
2. Instead of holding the off channel in a 3-state condition, drive PWM actively low. This forces the synchronous  
rectifier to turn on and prevent the pre-bias voltage from rising. If this option is elected, it is important to verify  
that there are no other sources of leakage in the system.  
3. Add a small load resistor, RBIAS. In most cases a value of 1kΩ should keep the output voltage below 200mV.  
Some experimentation may be needed to determine the appropriate value. In many cases, the feedback  
divider may provide a sufficient load.  
It is important that VBIAS be less than or equal to the steady state output voltage during regulation. If this  
condition is not enforced the controller in charge of regulating this rail will be unable to start up. If start up is  
forced, damage may result.

OPERATING FREQUENCY  
Switching frequency is a key place to start the design of any DC/DC converter. This will set performance limits on  
things such as: maximum efficiency, minimum size, and achievable closed loop bandwidth. A higher switching  
frequency is, generally, going to yield a smaller design at the expense of a lower efficiency. The size benefit is  
principally a result of the smaller inductor and capacitor energy storage elements needed to maintain ripple and  
transient response requirements. The additional losses result from a variety of factors, however, one of the  
largest contributors is the loss incurred by switching the MOSFETs on and off. The integrated nature of the  
UCD7242 makes these losses drastically smaller and subsequently enables excellent efficiency from a few  
hundred kHz up to the low MHz. For a reasonable trade off of size versus efficiency, 750kHz is a good place to  
start.  
VGG  
If 4.75V < VIN 6V a simple efficiency enhancement can be achieved by connecting VGG_DIS and VGG directly  
to VIN. This allows the solution to bypass the drop out voltage of the internal VGG linear regulator, subsequently  
improving the enhancement of the MOSFETs. When doing this it is critical to make sure that VGG never exceeds  
the absolute maximum rating of 7V.  
INDUCTOR SELECTION  
There are three main considerations in the selection of an inductor once the switching frequency has been  
determined. Any real world design is an iterative trade off of each of these factors.  
1. The electrical value which in turn is driven by:  
(a) RMS current  
(b) The maximum desired output ripple voltage  
(c) The desired transient response of the converter  
2. Losses  
(a) Copper (PCu  
(b) Core (Pfe)  
)
3. Saturation characteristics of the core  
INDUCTANCE VALUE  
The principle equation used to determine the inductance is:  
diL (t)  
vL (t) = L  
dt  
(3)  
(4)  
During the on time of the converter the inductance can be solved to be:

Where:  
VIN  
VOUT

Input Voltage  
Output voltage  
Switching frequency  
D
Duty cycle (VOUT/VIN for a buck converter)  
The target peak to peak inductor current.  
ΔI  
In general, it is desirable to make ΔI large to improve transient response and small to reduce output ripple  
voltage and RMS current. A number of considerations go into this however, ΔI=0.4 IOUT results in a small ILRMS  
without an unnecessary penalty on transient response. It also creates a reasonable ripple current that most  
practical capacitor banks can handle. Here IOUT is defined as the maximum expected steady state current.  
Plugging these assumptions into the above inductance equation results in:

For example, plotting this result as a function of VIN and VOUT results in:  
Figure 17. Inductance vs. VIN and VOUT  
In this graph IOUT is 10A, the switching frequency is 750kHz and the inductor ΔI is 4A. If the switching frequency  
is cut in half then the resulting inductance would be twice the value shown. Notice that the maximum inductance  
occurs at the maximum VIN and VOUT shown on the plot. In general, this inductance value should be used in  
order to keep the inductor ripple current from becoming too large over the range of supported VIN and VOUT  
.
INDUCTOR LOSSES AND SATURATION  
The current rating of an inductor is based on two things: the current necessary to raise the component  
temperature by 40°C and the current level necessary to reduce the inductance to 80% of its initial value  
(saturation current(1) ). The current rating is the lower of these two numbers. Both of these factors are influenced  
by the choice of core material. Popular materials currently in use are: ferrite, powdered alloy and powdered iron.  
Ferrite is regarded as the highest performance material and as such is the lowest loss and the highest cost. Solid  
ferrite all by itself will saturate with a relatively small amount of current. This can be addressed by inserting a gap  
into the core. This, in effect, makes the inductor behave in a linear manner over a wide DC current range.  
However, once the inductance begins to roll off, these gapped materials exhibit a “sharp” saturation  
characteristic. In other words, the inductance value reduces rapidly with increases in current above the saturation  
level. This small inductance that results, can produce dangerously high current levels.  
(1) Although “saturation current” is standard terminology among many inductor vendors, technically saturation does not occur until the  
relative permeability of the core is reduced to approximately 1. This is a value much larger than what is typically seen on data sheets.

Powdered iron has the advantage of lower cost and a soft saturation characteristic; however, its losses can be  
very large as switching frequencies increase. This can make it undesirable for a UCD7242 based application  
where higher switching frequency may be desired. It’s also worth noting that many powdered iron cores exhibit  
an aging characteristic where the core losses increase over time. This is a wear-out mechanism that needs to be  
considered when using these materials.  
The powdered alloy cores bring the soft saturation characteristics of powdered iron with considerable  
improvements in loss without the wear-out mechanism observed in powdered iron. These benefits come at a cost  
premium.  
In general the following relative figure of merits can be made:

When selecting an inductor with an appropriate core it’s important to have in mind the following:  
1. ILRMS, maximum RMS current  
2. ΔI, maximum peak to peak current  
3. IMAX, maximum peak current  
The RMS current can be determined by Equation 6:  
DI2

ILRMS  
=
IOUT

12  
(6)  
When the 40% ripple constraint is used at maximum load current, this equation simplifies to: ILRMSIOUT  
.
It is widely recognized that the Steinmetz equation (Pfe) is a good representation of core losses for sinusoidal  
stimulation. It is important to recognize that this approximation applies to sinusoidal excitation only. This is a  
reasonable assumption when working with converters whose duty cycles are near 50%, however, when the duty  
cycle becomes narrow this estimate may no longer be valid and considerably more loss may result.  
b
Pƒe = k × ƒa × BAC  
(7)  
(7)  
The principle drivers in this equation are the material and its respective geometry (k, a, b), the peak AC flux  
density (BAC) and the excitation frequency (ƒ). The frequency is simply the switching frequency of the converter  
while the constant k, can be computed based on the effective core volume (Ve) and a specific material constant  
(kƒe).  
k = kƒe × Ve  
(8)

The AC flux density (BAC) is related to the conventional inductance specifications by the following relationship:

L

=

(9)  
Where L is the inductance, Ae, is the effective cross sectional area that the flux takes through the core and N is  
the number of turns.  
Some inductor manufactures use the inductor ΔI as a figure of merit for this loss, since all of the other terms are  
a constant for a given component. They may provide a plot of core loss versus ΔI for various frequencies where  
ΔI can be calculated as:

IMAX has a direct impact on the saturation level. A good rule of thumb is to add 15% of head room to the  
maximum steady state peak value to provide some room for transients.

Armed with this data one can now approach the inductor data sheet to select a part with a “saturation” limit  
above 13.8A and current “heating” limit above 10A. Furthermore, total losses can be estimated based on the  
datasheet DCR value (ILRMS 2DCR) and the core loss curves for a given frequency and ΔI.  
INPUT CAPACITANCE  
Due to the non-zero impedance of the power planes of the input voltage rail, it is necessary to add some local  
capacitance near the UCD7242 to ensure that the voltage at this node is quiet and stable. The primary things to  
consider are:  
1. The radiated fields generated by the di/dt and dv/dt from this node  
2. RMS currents capability needed in the capacitors  
3. The AC voltage present and respective susceptibility of any device connected to this node  
DI2

IOUT ´ D ´ (1 - D) +  
ICINRMS  
=

(12)  
As a point of reference if ΔI=0.4 IOUT this places the worst case ICINRMS at approximately 5A. This corresponds to  
a duty cycle of approximately 50%. Other duty cycles can result in a significantly lower RMS current.  
A good input capacitor would be a 22mF X5R ceramic capacitor. Equally important as selecting the proper  
capacitor is placing and routing that capacitor. It is crucial that the decoupling be placed as close as possible to  
both the power pin (VIN) and ground (PGND). It is important to recognize that each power stage should have its  
own local decoupling. One 22mF capacitor should be placed across each VIN and PGND pair. The proximity of  
the capacitance to these pins will reduce the radiated fields mentioned above.  
OUTPUT CAPACITANCE  
The goal of the output capacitor bank is to keep the output voltage within regulation limits during steady state  
and transient conditions.  
The total AC RMS current flowing through the capacitor bank can be calculated as:  
DI

The term in this equation multiplied by the esr gives the ripple voltage component due to esr and the term  
multiplied by 1/C gives the ripple voltage component due to the change in charge on the capacitor plates. In the  
case were the esr component dominates the peak to peak output voltage can be approximated as:  
VPPesr ΔI × esr  
(17)  
(17)  
When the charge term dominates the peak to peak voltage ripple becomes:

(18)  
It is tempting to simply add these two results together for the case where the voltage ripple is significantly  
influenced by both the capacitance and the esr. However, this will yield an overly pessimistic result, in that it  
does not account for the phase difference between these terms.  
Using the ripple voltage equations and the RMS current equation should give a design that safely meets the  
steady state output requirements. However, additional capacitance is often needed to meet transient  
requirements and the specific local decoupling requirements of any IC that is being powered off of this voltage.  
This is not just a function of the capacitor bank but also the dynamics of the control loop. See the UCD9240  
Compensation Cookbook for additional details.  
DECOUPLING  
It is necessary that VGG and BP3 have their own local capacitance as physically close as possible to these pins.  
The VGG capacitor should be connected as close as possible to pin 5 and PGND with a 4.7mF ceramic capacitor.  
The BP3 capacitor should be connected as close as possible to pin 22 and AGND with a 1mF ceramic capacitor.  
The UCD7242 also supports the ability to operate from input voltages down to 2.2V. In these cases an additional  
supply rail must be connected to VGG and VGG_DIS must be shorted to VGG. Potential external bias supply  
generators for low VIN operation: TPS63000, TPS61220. The amount of current required for this supply is  
dependant on the VGG voltage, the switching frequency and the number of active channels used in the UCD7242.  
When both sides are active, use Figure 11: VGG Supply Current with 2 Rails Operating for current draw  
estimates. If only one side is active, use Figure 10: VGG Supply Current with 1 Rail Operating and 1 Rail Off.  
CURRENT SENSE  
An appropriate resistor must be connected to the current sense output pins to convert the IMON current to a  
voltage. In the case of the UCD9XXX digital controllers, these parts have a full scale current monitor range of 0V  
to 2V. It is desirable to maximize this range to make full use of the current monitoring resolution inside the  
controller. In order to ensure that current sensing will occur all the way to IMAX=10A a 1.8V target is chosen. In  
this case a resistor 9.09kwould work.

In some applications it may be necessary to filter the IMON signal. The UCD7242 IMON pin is a current source  
output, so a capacitor to ground in parallel with the current-to-voltage conversion resistor is all that is required.  
As a rule of thumb, placing the corner frequency of the filter at 20% of the switching frequency should be  
sufficient.  
For example, if the switching frequency is 500kHz or higher the ripple frequency will be easily rejected with a  
corner frequency of approximately 100kHz. With a 100kHz pole point, the filter time constant is 1.6µs. A fast  
current transient should be detected within 4.8µs.

20A Power Stage  
It is possible to configure the UCD7242 to supply 20A by tying the outputs of two power stages together. When  
doing this it is required that the PWM pulse widths of the two PWM input signals be identical. The best way to do  
this is to drive PWM-A and PWM-B from the same signal. This ensures that balanced volt seconds will be  
applied to the external SW pins.

Layout Recommendations  
The primary thermal cooling path is from the VIN, GND, and the SW “stripes” on the bottom of the package. Wide  
copper traces should connect to these nodes. 1-ounce copper should be the minimum thickness of the top layer;  
however, 2-ounce copper is better. Multiple thermal vias should be placed near the GND stripes that connect to a  
PCB ground plane. There is room to place multiple 10-mil (0.25mm) diameter vias next to the VIN and GND  
stripes under the package.  
For input bypassing, the 22µF input ceramic capacitors should be connected as close as possible to the VIN and  
GND stripes. If possible, the input caps should be placed directly under the UCD7242 using multiple 10-mil vias  
to bring the VIN and GND connections to the back side of the board. Minimizing trace inductance in the bypass  
path is extremely important to reduce the amplitude of ringing on the switching node.

IMPORTANT NOTICE  
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, modifications, enhancements, improvements,  
and other changes to its products and services at any time and to discontinue any product or service without notice. Customers should  
obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All products are  
sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.  
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TI’s standard  
warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where  
mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed.  
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and  
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide  
adequate design and operating safeguards.  
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right,  
or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information  
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a  
warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual  
property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.  
Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied  
by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive  
business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional  
restrictions.  
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all  
express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not  
responsible or liable for any such statements.  
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably  
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing  
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and  
acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products  
and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be  
provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in  
such safety-critical applications.  
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are  
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military  
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at  
the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.  
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are  
designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated  
products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
