PI354x-00
36VIN to 60VIN Cool-Power ZVS Buck Regulator & LED Driver
Product Description
Features & Benefits
The PI354x-00 is a family of high input voltage, wide input
range DC-DC ZVS-Buck regulators integrating controller, power
switches, and support components all within a high density
System-in-Package (SiP). The PI354x-00 products are designed
to operate within an SELV compliant system with steady state
operation limited to 60V. The PI354x-00 products allow for
transient voltage conditions up to 70V before shutdown is
triggered. The integration of a high-performance Zero-Voltage
Switching (ZVS) topology, within the PI354x-00 series, increases
point of load performance providing best in class power
efficiency. The PI354x-00 requires only an external inductor,
two voltage selection resistors and minimal capacitors to form a
complete DC-DC switching mode buck regulator.

no longer 180 degrees. Also when the switching frequency of a
module is reduced due to an external clock source driving SYNCI,
the current limit threshold may be significantly reduced.
Functional Description
The PI354x-00 is a family of highly integrated ZVS-Buck
regulators. The PI354x-00 has an output voltage that can be set
within a prescribed range shown in Table 1. Performance and
maximum output current are characterized with a specific external
power inductor (see Table 2).
Soft-Start
The PI354x-00 includes an internal soft-start capacitor to
control the rate of rise of the output voltage. See the Electrical
Characteristics Section for the default value. Connecting an
external capacitor from the TRK pin to SGND will increase the
start-up ramp period. See, “Soft Start Adjustment and Track,” in
the Applications Description section for more details.

ENABLE (EN)
Table 1 — PI354x-00 family output voltage ranges
EN is the enable pin of the converter. The EN Pin is referenced
to SGND and permits the user to turn the regulator on or off.
The EN default polarity is a positive logic assertion. If the EN pin
is left floating or asserted high, the converter output is enabled.
Pulling EN pin below 0.8VDC with respect to SGND will disable the
regulator output.
Output Current Limit Protection
PI354x-00 has two methods implemented to protect from output
short or over current condition.
Slow Current Limit protection: prevents the output from
sourcing current higher than the regulator’s maximum rated
Remote Sensing
current. If the output current exceeds the Current Limit (IOUT_CL
for 1024µs, a slow current limit fault is initiated and the
regulator is shutdown which eliminates output current flow.
After Fault Restart Delay (tFR_DLY), a soft-start cycle is initiated.
This restart cycle will be repeated indefinitely until the excessive
load is removed.
)
If remote sensing is required, the PI354x-00 product family
is equipped with an undedicated differential amplifier. This
amplifier can allow full differential remote sense by configuring
it as a differential follower and connecting the VDIFF pin
to the EAIN pin.
Fast Current Limit protection: PI354x-00 monitors the
regulator inductor current pulse-by-pulse to prevent the output
from supplying very high current due to sudden low impedance
short. If the regulator senses a high inductor current pulse, it will
initiate a fault and stop switching until Fault Restart Delay ends
and then initiate a soft-start cycle.
Switching Frequency Synchronization
The SYNCO pin provides a 5V level clock that can be used to
monitor the internal clock of the regulator, or synchronize other
regulators to it. The start of the switching cycles will coincide with
the rising edge of SYNCO, and SYNCO will remain high for ½ the
period of the preset switching frequency (fS), or T1, whichever
is longer. The SYNCI input allows the controller to synchronize
its internal clock to an external clock source. The SYNCI pin
should be connected to SGND through a 0Ω resistor when
not in use and should never be left floating. The controller can
synchronize to frequencies between 50% and 110% of the preset
switching frequency (fS). When using SYNCI, the PI354x-00 phase
synchronizes to the falling edge of the applied clock on SYNCI.
When SYNCI is driven from a second module’s SYNCO, there is
an effective 180 degrees of phase shift between the start of the
switching cycles, provided the modules are switching at the preset
switching frequency. At higher loads when pulse stretching occurs
and the operating frequency is lowered, the phase shift is
Input Undervoltage Lockout
If VIN falls below the input Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
threshold, but remains high enough to power the internal bias
supply, the PI354x-00 will complete the current cycle and stop
switching. The system will soft start once the input voltage is
reestablished and after the Fault Restart Delay.

PI354x-00
Input Overvoltage Lockout
Variable Frequency Operation
If VIN exceeds the input Overvoltage Lockout (OVLO) threshold
(VOVLO), while the controller is running, the PI354x-00 will
complete the current cycle and stop switching. The system will
soft start after the Fault Restart Delay once VIN recovers. The
PI354x products permit input voltage positive transient excursions
beyond VIN_DC maximum, up to VIN-TRANS maximum. In this case,
the input voltage is allowed to be outside the VIN_DC range for
up to 10ms, with no more than a 1% duty cycle. Note that any
excursion beyond the VIN_DC maximum must still adhere to the
Each PI354x-00 is preprogrammed to a base operating frequency,
with respect to the power stage inductor (see Table 2), to operate
at peak efficiency across line and load variations. At low line
and high load applications, the base frequency will decrease to
accommodate these extreme operating ranges. By stretching the
frequency, the ZVS operation is preserved throughout the total
input line voltage range therefore maintaining
optimum efficiency.
maximum slew rate VIN_SR
.
Application Description
Output Overvoltage Protection
Parallel Operation
The PI354x-00 family is equipped with output Overvoltage
Protection (OVP) to prevent damage to input voltage
sensitive devices. If the output voltage exceeds 20% of its set
regulated value, the regulator will complete the current cycle
and stop switching. The system will resume operation once
the output voltage falls below the OVP threshold and after
Fault Restart Delay.
PI354x-00 can be connected in parallel to increase the output
capability of a single output rail. When connecting modules in
parallel, each EAO, TRK, EAIN and EN pin should be connected
together. Current sharing will occur automatically in this manner
so long as each inductor is the same value. A common viewing
chain may be used to sense the output voltage. Refer to the
Electrical Characteristics table for maximum array size and
array rated output current. Current sharing may be considered
independent of synchronization and/or interleaving. Modules do
not have to be interleaved or synchronized to share current.
Overtemperature Protection
The PI354x features an over temperature protection (OTP), which
will not engage until after the product is operated above the
maximum rated temperature. The OTP circuit is only designed to
protect against catastrophic failure due to excessive temperatures
and should not be relied upon to ensure the device stays within
the recommended operating temperature range. Thermal
shutdown terminates switching and discharges the soft-start
capacitor. As the temperature falls the PI354x will restart,
and this will always occur before the product returns to rated
temperature range.
Synchronization
PI354x-00 units may be synchronized to an external clock by
driving the SYNCI pin. The synchronization frequency must not
be higher than the programmed maximum value FSW. This is the
switching frequency during DCM of operation. The minimum
synchronization frequency is FSW /2. In order to ensure proper
power delivery during synchronization, the user should refer
to the switching frequency vs. output current curves for the
load current, output voltage and input voltage operating point.
The synchronization frequency should not be lower than that
determined by the curve or reduced output power will result.
The power reduction is approximately the ratio between required
frequency and synchronizing frequency. If the required frequency
is 1MHz and the sync frequency is 600kHz, the user should
expect a 40% reduction in output capability.
Pulse Skip Mode (PSM)
PI354x-00 features a PSM to achieve high efficiency at light loads.
The regulators are setup to skip pulses if EAO falls below a PSM
threshold. Depending on conditions and component values, this
may result in single pulses or several consecutive pulses followed
by skipped pulses. Skipping cycles significantly reduces gate drive
power and improves light load efficiency. The regulator will leave
PSM once the EAO rises above the Skip Mode threshold.
Interleaving
Interleaving is primarily done to reduce output ripple and the
required number of output capacitors by introducing phase
current cancellation. The PI354x-00 has a fixed delay that is
proportional to to the maximum value of FSW shown in the data
sheet. When connecting two units as shown in Figure 50, they
will operate at 180 degrees out of phase when the converters
switching frequency is equal to FSW. If the converter enters CrCM
and the switching frequency is lower than FSW, the phase delay
will no longer be 180 degrees and ripple cancellation will begin
to decay. Interleaving when the switching frequency is reduced
to lower than 80% of the programmed maximum value is
not recommended.

The TRK pin offers a means to increase the regulator’s soft-start
time or to track with additional regulators. The soft-start slope
is controlled by an internal capacitor and a fixed charge current
to provide a Soft-Start Time tSS for all PI354x-00 regulators.
By adding an additional external capacitor to the TRK pin, the
soft-start time can be increased further. The following equation
can be used to calculate the proper capacitor for a desired
soft-start times:

All connected PI354x-00 regulator soft-start slopes will track with
this method. Direct tracking timing is demonstrated in
Figure 52b. All tracking regulators should have their Enable (EN)
pins connected together to work properly.

Inductor Pairing
The PI354x-00 utilizes an external inductor. This inductor has
been optimized for maximum efficiency performance. Table 2
details the specific inductor value and part number utilized for
each PI354x-00.
Where, tTRK is the soft-start time and ITRK is a 50µA internal
charge current (see Electrical Characteristics for limits).
There is typically either proportional or direct tracking
implemented within a design. For proportional tracking between
several regulators at startup, simply connect all PI354x-00 device
TRK pins together. This type of tracking will force all connected
regulators to startup and reach regulation at the same time
(see Figure 52a).

Thermal De-rating
The Control-Output transfer function (also known as the small
signal modulator gain) has a single pole response determined
by the parallel combination of RLOAD and rEQ and the output
capacitor COUT. Equation (5) determines the frequency of the
modulator pole:
Thermal de-rating curves are provided that are based on
component temperature changes versus load current, input
voltage and air flow. It is recommended to use these curves as a
guideline for proper thermal de-rating. These curves represent the
entire system and are inclusive to both the Picor regulator and the
external inductor. Maximum thermal operation is limited by either
the MOSFETs or inductor depending upon line and
load conditions.

The PI354x-00 product family is a variable frequency CCM/DCM
ZVS Buck Regulator. The small signal model for this powertrain
is that of a voltage controlled current source which has a
trans-conductance that varies depending on the operating mode.
When the converter is operating at its normal frequency, it is in
discontinuous mode. As the load increases to the point at which
the boundary between discontinuous and continuous modes is
reached, the powertrain changes frequency to remain in critical
conduction mode. This mode of operation allows the PI354x-00
product family to have a very simple compensation scheme, as
the control to output transfer function always has a slope of
-1. In addition, when critical conduction is reached, the voltage
controlled current source becomes nearly ideal with a high output
equivalent resistance.

The transfer function of the error amplifier and compensator
(also known as the Input To Control transfer function) reveals
the response of a Type II amplifier with a low frequency pole
determined by Equation (7), a zero which sets the mid-band
gain determined by Equation (8) and a high frequency pole
determined by Equation (9). Figure 58 shows the calculated
Input To Control transfer function. Multiplying Equation (3) by
Equation (6) ; described by Equation (10), results in the total loop
gain (also known as the Output To Input transfer function). A
graph is shown in Figure 58. The strategy is to set the zero such
that the mid-band gain allows a high crossover frequency while
providing maximum phase boost at crossover, with proper gain
and phase margin.
Lighting Mode (LGH)
The Lighting (LGH) mode allows the PI354x-00 product family to
be able to operate in constant current mode (CC) so that it can
support a wide range of applications that require the ability to
regulate current or voltage. Primary applications are LED lighting,
battery / super-capacitor charging and high peak current pulse
transient load applications. The PI354x-00 product family can
operate in dual modes, either as a constant voltage (CV) regulator
or a constant current (CC) regulator. Both modes can be utilized
in a single system. The PI354x-00 family has a separate current
amplifier, called LGH, and built in 100mV lighting reference that
has its output connected to the EAO pin internally. If the current
through an external shunt starts to develop 100mV at the LGH
pin, the LGH amplifier will take over regulation by pulling down
on the EAO output until the current is in regulation according
to the designed shunt value. The LGH amplifier is a sink only
trans-conductance amplifier (TCA). It does not source current.
In the event of an open LED string or open current signal, the
voltage loop can be set to regulate the output voltage to a safe or
desired value in CV mode.

earlier and remain the same values. Equation (12) defines the
transfer function of the modulator and Equation (13) defines

Figure 60 — LGH Amplifier Small Signal Model
The LGH amplifier consists of three distinct stages. The first
is a wide bandwidth integrator stage, followed by a fixed
gain level shift circuit. Finally, the level shift circuit drives a
trans-conductance (TCA) amplifier with an open collector sink
only output stage. Since the LGH output is internally connected
to the output of the voltage error amplifier, the compensation
components show up in the model and are used by both stages,
depending on which one is in use. Only one stage should be in
use at a time. When using LGH or if the LGH input rises above

Figure 65 — GLGH_EAO(s) Gain/Phase Plot RLGH = 100kΩ
Figure 63 — EINT(s) Gain/Phase Plot RLGH = 100kΩ
When combining Figure 63 with Figure 64, it becomes clear
that additional compensation is needed to have enough phase
and gain margin like can be seen with the voltage loop plot. We
can remedy that easily, by adding a series R-C in parallel with
RLGH as shown in the lighting application diagram in Figure 59.
The capacitor will be chosen to work with RLGH to add a zero
approximately 1.2kHz before the zero provided by the GMLGH(s)
transfer function (the trans-conductance stage of the LGH
amplifier). This value will be chosen to be 270pF. The external
added resistor will form a high frequency pole to roll the gain
off at higher frequency. This pole will be set at approximately
120kHz so a common 4.99kΩ resistor will be used. The resulting
Bode plot with the new compensator of GLGH_EAO(s) can be seen
in Figure 66. Figure 67 shows the final Bode plot of the loop gain
when using a lighting application with LED’s operating in constant
current mode. Note that it is very important to understand the
AC resistance of the LEDs that are being used. Please consult the
LED manufacturer for details. For a series string, you should add
the individual LED resistances and combine them into one lumped
value to simplify the analysis.

The voltage source impedance can be modeled as a series Rline

Where rEQ_IN can be calculated by dividing the lowest line voltage

impedance be at least an octave lower than the converter’s
dynamic input resistance, Equation (18). However, Rline cannot
be made arbitrarily low otherwise Equation (17) is violated
and the system will show instability, due to an under-damped
RLC input network.

Filter Considerations
The PI354x-00 requires low impedance ceramic input capacitors
(X7R/X5R or equivalent) to ensure proper start up and high
frequency decoupling for the power stage. The PI354x-00
will draw nearly all of the high frequency current from the
low impedance ceramic capacitors when the main high side
MOSFET(s) are conducting. During the time the MOSFET(s) are
off, the input capacitors are replenished from the source. Table
4 shows the recommended input and output capacitors to be
used for the PI354x-00 as well as per capacitor RMS ripple current
and the input and output ripple voltages. Table 5 includes the
recommended input and output ceramic capacitors.
Equation (20) shows that if the aggregate ESR is too small – for
example by using very high quality input capacitors (CIN_EXT) – the
system will be under-damped and may even become destabilized.
As noted, an octave of design margin in satisfying Equation (19)
should be considered the minimum.
When applying an electrolytic capacitor for input filter damping
the ESR value must be chosen to avoid loss of converter efficiency
and excessive power dissipation in the electrolytic capacitor.
It is very important to verify that the voltage supply source as well
as the interconnecting lines are stable and do not oscillate.

PI354x-00
VDR Bias Regulator
System Design Considerations
The VDR internal bias regulator is a ZVS switching regulator that
resides internal to the PI354x-00 product family. It is intended
strictly for use to power the internal controller and driver
circuitry. The power capability of this regulator is sized only for
the PI354x-00, with adequate reserve for the application it was
intended for. It may be used for as a pull-up source for open
collector applications and for other very low power use with the
following restrictions:
1. Inductive loads: As with all power electronic applications,
consideration must be given to driving inductive loads that
may be exposed to a fault in the system which could result
in consequences beyond the scope of the power supply
primary protection mechanisms. An inductive load could be a
filter, fan motor or even excessively long cables. Consider an
instantaneous short circuit through an un-damped inductance
that occurs when the output capacitors are already at an
initial condition of fully charged. The only thing that limits the
current is the inductance of the short circuit and any series
resistance. Even if the power supply is off at the time of the
short circuit, the current could ramp up in the external inductor
and store considerable energy. The release of this energy will
result in considerable ringing, with the possibility of ringing
nodes connected to the output voltage below ground. The
system designer should plan for this by considering the use
of other external circuit protection such as load switches,
fuses, and transient voltage protectors. The inductive filters
should be critically damped to avoid excessive ringing or
damaging voltages. Adding a high current Schottky diode
from the output voltage to PGND close to the PI354x-00 is
recommended for these applications.
1. The total external loading on VDR must be less than IVDR
.
2. No direct connection is allowed. Any noise source that can
disturb the VDR voltage can also affect the internal controller
operation. A series inpedance is required between the VDR pin
and any external circuitry.
3. All loads must be locally de-coupled using a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor. This capacitor must be connected to the VDR output
through a series resistor no smaller than 1kΩ, which forms a
low-pass filter.
2. Low voltage operation: There is no isolation from an SELV
(Safety-Extra-Low-Voltage) power system. Powering low
voltage loads from input voltages as high as 60V may require
additional consideration to protect low voltage circuits from
excessive voltage in the event of a short circuit from input to
output. A fast TVS (transient voltage suppressor) gating an
external load switch is an example of such protection.
3. Use of Lighting Mode (LGH) as a battery charger is certainly
very feasible. It is fashionable to design these chargers such
that the battery is always connected to it. Since the Buck
topology is not isolated, shorting the input terminals or
capacitors of an unpowered regulator/charger could allow
damaging current flow through the body diode of the high
side MOSFET that would be unprotected by a conventional
input fuse. It is recommended to connect the PI354x-00 family
to the battery using an active ORing device if LGH mode is
used as a constant current battery charger. The same should be
considered for super-capacitor applications as well.

Layout Guidelines
To optimize maximum efficiency and low noise performance
from a PI354x-00 design, layout considerations are necessary.
Reducing trace resistance and minimizing high current loop
returns along with proper component placement will contribute
to optimized performance.
Figure 69 — Current flow: Q1 closed
A typical buck converter circuit is shown in Figure 68. The
potential areas of high parasitic inductance and resistance are the
circuit return paths, shown as LR below.
When Q1 is on and Q2 is off, the majority of CIN’s current is used
to satisfy the output load and to recharge the COUT capacitors.
When Q1 is off and Q2 is on, the load current is supplied by the
inductor and the COUT capacitor as shown in Figure 70. During
this period CIN is also being recharged by the VIN. Minimizing CIN
loop inductance is important to reduce peak voltage excursions
when Q1 turns off. Also, the difference in area between the CIN
loop and COUT loop is vital to minimize switching and GND noise.
VIN
CIN
COUT

CIN
Figure 68 — Typical Buck Regulator
The path between the COUT and CIN capacitors is of particular
importance since the AC currents are flowing through both of
them when Q1 is turned on. Figure 69, schematically, shows the
reduced trace length between input and output capacitors. The
shorter path lessens the effects that copper trace parasitics can
have on the PI354x-00 performance.
