Si9118, Si9119 Vishay Siliconix Programmable Duty Cycle Controller DESCRIPTION The Si9118/Si9119 are a BiC/DMOS current-mode pulse width modulation (PWM) controller ICs for high-frequency dc/dc converters. Single-ended topologies (forward and flyback) can be implemented at frequencies up to 1 MHz. The controller operates in constant frequency mode during the full load and automatically switches to pulse skipping mode under light load to maintain high efficiency throughout the full load range. The maximum duty cycle is easily programmed with a resistor divider for optimum control. The push-pull output driver provides high-speed switching to external MOSPOWER devices large enough to supply 50 W of output power. Shoot-through current for internal push-pull stage is almost eliminated to minimize quiescent supply current.

This feature eliminates the typical external start-up circuit saving valuable space and cost. But, most of all, this feature improves the converter efficiency during full load and has an even greater impact on light load. With an input bus voltage applied to the +VIN pin, the VCC voltage is regulated to 9.3 V. The UVLO circuit prevents the controller output driver section from turning on, until VCC voltage exceeds 8.7 V. In order to maximize converter efficiency, the designer should provide an external bootstrap winding to override the internal VCC regulator. If external VCC voltage is greater than 9.3 V, the internal depletion mode MOSFET regulator is disabled and power is derived from the external VCC supply. The VCC supply provides power to the internal circuity as well as providing supply voltage to the gate drive circuit. Soft-Start/Enable The soft-start time is externally programmable with capacitor connected to the SS/EN pin. A constant current source provides the current to the SS/EN pin to generate a linear start-up time versus the capacitance value. The SS/EN pin clamps the error amplifier output voltage, limiting the rate of increase in duty cycle. By controlling the rate of rise in duty cycle gradually, the output voltage rises gradually preventing the output voltage from overshooting. The SS/EN pin can also be used to enable or disable the output driver section with an external logic signal. Synchronization The synchronization to external clock is easily accomplished by connecting the external clock into the SYNC pin (Si9119 only). The logic high to low transition synchronizes the clock. The external clock frequency must be at least 5 % faster than the internal clock frequency. Reference Voltage The reference voltage for the Si9118/Si9119 are set at 4.0 V. The reference voltage is not connected to the non-inverting inputs of the error amplifier, therefore, the minimum output voltage is not limited to reference voltage. The VREF pin requires a 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor. Error Amplifier The error amplifier gain-bandwidth product is critical parameter which determines the transient response of converter. The transient response is function of both small and large signal responses. The small signal www.vishay.com 8 response is determined by the feedback compensation network while the large signal response is determined by the inductor di/dt slew rate. Besides the inductance value, the error amplifier gain-bandwidth determine the converter response time. In order to minimize the response time, Si9118/Si9119 is designed with a 2.7 MHz error amplifier gain-bandwidth product to provide the widest converter bandwidth possible. PWM Mode The converter operates in PWM mode if the PWM/ PSM pin is connected to VREF pin or logic high. As the load current and line voltage vary, the Si9118/Si9119 maintain constant switching frequency until they reach minimum duty cycle. Once the output voltage regulation is exceeded with minimum duty cycle, the switching frequency will continue to decrease until regulation is achieved. The switching frequency is controlled by the external Rosc and Cosc as shown by the typical oscillator frequency curve. In PWM mode, output ripple noise is constant reducing EMI concerns as well as simplifying the filter to minimize the system noise. Pulse Skipping Mode If the PWM/PSM pin is connected to -VIN pin (logic low), the converter can operate in either PWM or PSM mode depending on the load current. The converter automatically transitions from PWM to PSM or vise versa to maintain output voltage regulation. In PSM mode, the MOSFET switch is turned on until the peak current sensed voltage reaches 100 mV and the output voltage meets or exceeds its regulation voltage. The converter is operating in pulse skipping mode because each pulse delivers excess energy into the output capacitor forcing the output voltage to exceed its regulation voltage. By forcing the output voltage to exceed the regulation voltage, succeeding pulses are skipped until the output voltage drops below the regulation point. Therefore, switching frequency will continue to reduce during PSM control as the demand for output current decreases. The pulse skipping mode cuts down the switching losses, the dominant power consumed during low output current, thereby maintaining high efficiency throughout the entire load range. With PWM/PSM pin in logic low state, the converter transitions back into PWM mode, if the peak current sensed voltage of 100 mV does not generate the required output voltage. In the region between pulse skipping mode and PWM mode, the controller may transition between the two modes, delivering spurts of pulses. This may cause the current waveform to look irregular, but this will not overly affect the ripple voltage. Even in this transitional mode, efficiency remains high.

A DMAX voltage of 3.2 V generates 80 % duty cycle while 0.0 V generates 0 % duty cycle. The 80 % duty cycle is maximum default condition at 1 MHz switching frequency. The DMAX voltage can be easily generated using resistor divider from the reference voltage.The maximum duty cycle limitation will be different when the converter is synchronized by an external frequency. If the internal free running frequency is much slower than the external SYNC signal (SYNC signal causes the internal clock to reset before the Cosc voltage ramps to 3.2 V) , duty cycle is determined by the one shot discharge time of the oscillator capacitor (100 ns). Therefore, with 1 MHz SYNC signal, maximum duty cycle of 90 % can be achieved (100 ns is 10 % of 1 MHz). If the internal free running frequency is very close to the external SYNC frequency (SYNC signal causes the internal clock to reset somewhere between 3.2 V to 4 V), duty cycle is determined by the ratio of Cosc voltage at the SYNC point and the 3.2 V. At this condition, the maximum duty cycle can be greater than 90 %. Therefore, DMAX voltage must be modified in order to maintain desired maximum duty cycle. Slope Compensation Slope compensation is necessary for duty cycles greater than 50 % to stabilize the inner current loop and maintain overall loop stability. In order to simplify the slope compensation circuitry, the Si9118 provides the buffered oscillator ramp signal, VSC to be used for external slope compensation. VSC is only available when DR is high. The VSC signal super-imposed with actual current sense signal should be used by the PWM comparator to determine the duty cycle. The summation of this signal should be fed into ICS pin. For optimum performance, proper slope compensation is required. The amount of slope compensation is determined by the resistors connected to the ICS pin. The amplitude of the VSC signal is same as the COSC pin voltage (4 V). For designs which use with SYNC pin, instead of VSC pin, the converter can still operate at duty cycles greater than 50 % by generating an external slope compensation ramp using a simple RC circuit from the MOSFET driver output pin as shown on the application circuit. Over Current Protection Si9118/Si9119 are designed with a pulse-to-pulse peak current limiting protection circuit to protect itself, and the load in case of a failure. The voltage across the sense resistor is monitored continuously and if the voltage reaches its trigger level, the duty cycle is terminated. This limits the maximum current delivered to the load. In order to improve the accuracy of over current protection from traditional controllers, Si9118/ Si9119 are designed with separate ILIMIT and ICS pins. Voltage on the ILIMIT pin does not sum in the traditional slope compensation voltage, which adds error into the detection level. ICS pin is used to sum the current sense signal and the slope compensation for loop stability. Output Driver Stage The DR pin is designed to drive a low-side N-Channel MOSFET. The driver stage is sized to sink and source peak currents up to 500 mA with VCC = 12 V. This provides ample drive capability for 50 W of output power.
