2.2.3. MOSFET/Transformer Circuit Option Using
The MOSFET/transformer circuit option, as defined in
Figure 11, offers higher power efficiencies across a
larger
transformers primary inductor value and the switching
frequency, the input voltage (V
to 35 V. Therefore, it is possible to power the entire
ProSLIC solution from a single 3.3 V or 5 V power
supply. By nature of a dc-dc converter’s operation, peak
and average input currents can become large with small
input voltages. Consider this when selecting the
appropriate input voltage and power rating for the V
power supply (number of REN supported).
For this solution, an n-channel power MOSFET (M1)
switches the current flow through a power transformer
T1. T1 is specified in Application Note 45 (AN45), and
includes several taps on the primary side to facilitate a
wide range of input voltages. The Si3210M version of
the Si3210 must be used for the application circuit
depicted in Figure 11 on page 19 because the DCFF pin
is used to drive M1 directly and therefore must be the
same polarity as DCDRV. DCDRV is not used in this
circuit option; connecting DCFF and DCDRV together is
not recommended.
2.2.4. DC-DC Converter Architecture
The control logic for a pulse width modulated (PWM) dc-
dc converter is incorporated in the Si3210. Output pins,
DCDRV and DCFF, are used to switch a bipolar
transistor or MOSFET. The polarity of DCFF is opposite
to that of DCDRV.
The dc-dc converter circuit is powered on when the

control pins are driven by the PWM controller logic in
the Si3210. The regulated output voltage (V
sensed by the SVBAT pin and is used to detect whether
the output voltage is above or below an internal
reference for the desired battery voltage. The dc
monitor pins SDCH and SDCL monitor input current and
voltage to the dc-dc converter external circuitry. If an
overload condition is detected, the PWM controller will
turn off the switching transistor for the remainder of a

components. It is important that the proper value of R18
be selected to ensure safe operation. Guidance is given
in Application Note 45 (AN45).
The PWM controller operates at a frequency set by the
dc-dc Converter PWM register (direct Register 92).

DCDRV and DCFF are asserted for a time given by the
read-only
Register 94).
The dc-dc converter must be off for some time in each
cycle to allow the inductor or transformer to transfer its
stored energy to the output capacitor, C9. This minimum
off time can be set through the dc-dc Converter
Switching Delay register, (direct Register 93). The
number of 16.384 MHz clock cycles that the controller is
off is equal to DCTOF (bits 0 through 4) plus 4. If the dc
Monitor pins detect an overload condition, the dc-dc
converter interrupts its conversion cycles regardless of
the register settings to prevent component damage.
These inputs should be calibrated by writing the DCCAL
bit (bit 7) of the dc-dc Converter Switching Delay
register, direct Register 93, after the dc-dc converter
has been turned on.
Because the Si3210 dynamically regulates its own
battery supply voltage using the dc-dc converter
controller, the battery voltage (V
