The two approaches are shown in the following figures. The first figure shows in-phase switching: I3in is the input current drawn by the 3.3V converter, I5in is the input current drawn by the 5V converter. The two converters start each switching cycle simultaneously, resulting in a significant amount of overlap. This overlap increases the peak current. The total input current to the converter is the third trace Iin, which shows how the two currents add together. The fourth trace shows the current flowing in and out of the input capacitors. In-phase Switching The next figure shows out-of-phase switching. Since the 3.3V and 5V converters are spaced apart, there is no resulting overlap. This results in a two benefits; the peak current is reduced and the frequency content is higher, both of which make filtering easier. The third trace shows the total input current, and the fourth trace shows the current in and out of the input capacitors. The RMS value of this current is significantly lower than the in-phase case and allows for smaller capacitors due to reduced RMS current ratings. Out-of-phase Switching As the input voltage is reduced, the duty cycle of both converters increases, as shown in the following figure. For inputs less than 8.3 volts it is impossible to prevent overlap when producing 3.3V and 5V outputs, regardless of the phase relationship between the converters. e g a tl o v t u p n Ig n i s ir r e t r e v n o c V 3 m o r f d a e l e s a h P e g d e g n i s ir r e t r e v n o c V 5 o t e g d e V 6 . 9 > n i Vd o ir e p g n i h c ti w s f o % 1 4 V 7 . 6 > n i V > V 6 . 9d o ir e p g n i h c ti w s f o % 9 5 n i V > 7 . 6d o ir e p g n i h c ti w s f o % 4 6 From an input filter standpoint it is desirable to minimize the overlap, but it is also desirable to keep the turn-on and turn-off transitions of the two converters separated in time, otherwise the two converters may affect each other due to switching noise. The SC1404 implements this by changing the phase relationship between the converter depending on the input voltage. Vin > 9.6V: 3.3V turn-on leads 5V turn-on by 41% of the switching period. With Vin > 9.6V it is always possible to achieve no overlap, which minimizes the input ripple current. At Vin = 9.6V there is no overlap, but the 3.3V turn-on is nearing the 5V turn-off. 6.7 < Vin < 9.6V: 3.3V turn-on leads 5V turn-on by 59% of the period. To prevent the 3V turn-on from coinciding with the 5V turn-off (which could adversely affect either output), the 5V pulse is delayed in time slightly such that the 3V turn-on occurs before the 5V turn-off. This creates a small overlap between the 3V turn-on and the 5V turn-off, with a resulting slight increase in RMS input ripple, but this is preferred since it greatly reduces noise problems caused by simultaneous transitions. Note that at Vin = 6.7, the 3V turn-off is nearing the 5V turn-on.
