information used for this control is the voltage that is

developed across rDS(ON) of the lower MOSFETs, Q2 and

Q4, when they are conducting. A single resistor converts and

scales the voltage across the MOSFETs to a current that is

applied to the current sensing circuit within the controller.

Output from these sensing circuits is applied to the current

averaging circuit. Each PWM channel receives the difference

signal from the summing circuit that compares the average

sensed current to the individual channel current. When a

power channel’s current is greater than the average current,

the signal applied via the summing correction circuit to the

comparator, reduces the output pulse width of the

comparator to compensate for the detected “above average”

current in that channel.

Droop Compensation

In addition to control of each power channel’s output current,

the average channel current is also used to provide CORE

voltage droop compensation. Average full channel current is

defined as 50

µA. By selecting an input resistor, RIN, the

amount of voltage droop required at full load current can be

programmed. The average current driven into the FB pin

results in a voltage increase across resistor RIN that is in the

direction to make the error amplifier “see” a higher voltage at

the inverting input, resulting in the Error Amplifier adjusting

the output voltage lower. The voltage developed across RIN

is equal to the “droop” voltage. See the Current Sensing and

Balancing section for more details.

Applications and Convertor Start-Up

Each PWM power channel’s current is regulated. This

enables the PWM channels to accurately share the load

current for enhanced reliability. The HIP6601, HIP6602 or

HIP6603 MOSFET driver interfaces with the HIP6301V. For

more information, see the datasheets for the individual

Intersil MOSFET drivers.

The HIP6301V is capable of controlling up to 4 PWM power

channels. Connecting unused PWM outputs to VCC

automatically sets the number of channels. The phase

relationship between the channels is 360 degrees/number of

active PWM channels. For example, for three channel

operation, the PWM outputs are separated by 120 degrees.

Figure 2 shows the PWM output signals for a four channel

system.

Power supply ripple frequency is determined by the channel

frequency, FSW, multiplied by the number of active channels.

For example, if the channel frequency is set to 250kHz and

there are three phases, the ripple frequency is 750kHz.

The IC monitors and precisely regulates the CORE voltage

of a microprocessor. After initial start-up, the controller also

provides protection for the load and the power supply. The

following section discusses these features.

Initialization

HIP6301V and HIP6302V circuits usually operate from an

ATX power supply. Many functions are initiated by the rising

supply voltage to the VCC pin of the controller. Oscillator,

Sawtooth Generator, Soft-Start and other functions are

initialized during this interval. These circuits are controlled by

POR, Power-On Reset. During this interval, the PWM

outputs are driven to a three state condition that makes

these outputs essentially open. This state results in no gate

drive to the output MOSFETS.

Once the VCC voltage reaches 4.375V (±125mV), a voltage

level to insure proper internal function, the PWM outputs are

enabled and the Soft-Start sequence is initiated. If for any

reason, the VCC voltage drops below 3.875V (±125mV). the

POR circuit shuts the converter down and again three states

the PWM outputs.

Soft-Start

After the POR function is completed with VCC reaching

4.375V, the soft-start sequence is initiated. Soft-Start, by its

slow rise in CORE voltage from zero, avoids an over-current

condition by slowly charging the discharged output

capacitors. This voltage rise is initiated by an internal DAC

that slowly raises the reference voltage to the error amplifier

input. The voltage rise is controlled by the oscillator

frequency and the DAC within the controller, therefore, the

output voltage is effectively regulated as it rises to the final

programmed CORE voltage value.
