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 50µA. By selecting an input resistor, R
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 R
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 R
is equal to the “droop” voltage. “Current Sensing and
Balancing” on page 13 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 V
automatically sets the number of channels. The phase
relationship between the channels is 360°/number of active
PWM channels. For example, for three channel operation,
the PWM outputs are separated by 120°. Figure 2 shows the
PWM output signals for a four channel system.
Power supply ripple frequency is determined by the channel
frequency, F
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 V
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 V
level to insure proper internal function, the PWM outputs are
enabled and the Soft-start sequence is initiated. If for any
reason, the V
POR circuit shuts the converter down and again three states
the PWM outputs.
Soft-start
After the POR function is completed with V
4.375V, the soft-start sequence is initiated. Soft-start by its
slow rise in CORE voltage from zero, avoids an overcurrent
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.
For the first 32 PWM switching cycles, the DAC output
remains inhibited and the PWM outputs remain three stated.
From the 33rd cycle and for another, approximately
150 cycles the PWM output remains low, clamping the lower
output MOSFETs to ground, (see Figure 3). The time
variability is due to the error amplifier, sawtooth generator and
comparators moving into their active regions. After this short
interval, the PWM outputs are enabled and increment the
PWM pulse width from zero duty cycle to operational pulse
width, thus allowing the output voltage to slowly reach the
CORE voltage. The CORE voltage will reach its programmed
value before the 2048 cycles, but the PGOOD output will not
be initiated until the 2048th PWM switching cycle.

oscillator frequency, F
160µs, the PWM outputs are held in a three state level as
explained above. After this period and a short interval
previously described, the PWM outputs are initiated and the
voltage rises in 10.08ms, for a total delay time DT of 10.24ms.
