Application Information: continued

Therefore, the range of load currents that will cause the

internal current sense comparator to detect an overload

condition through a 3.3m½ embedded PCB trace is: 19.3A

< ICL < 38.7A, with 26A being the nominal overload condi-

tion.

Design Rules for Using a Droop Resistor

The basic equation for laying an embedded resistor is:

RAR = r ´

or R =

r ´

where

A= W

´ t = cross-sectional area;

r= the copper resistivity (µ½-mil);

L= length (mils);

W = width (mils);

t = thickness (mils).

For most PCBs the copper thickness, t, is 35µm (1.37 mils)

for one ounce copper;

r = 717.86µ½-mil.

For a CPU load of 16A the resistance needed to create a

50mV drop at full load is:

RDROOP =

= 3.1m½.

The resistivity of the copper will drift with the temperature

according to the following guidelines:

ÆR = 12% @ TA = +50ûC;

ÆR = 34% @TA = +100ûC.

Droop Resistor Length, Width, and Thickness

The minimum width and thickness of the droop resistor

should primarily be determined on the basis of the current-

carrying capacity required, and the maximum permissible

droop resistor temperature rise. PCB manufacturer design

charts can be used in determining current- carrying capaci-

ty and sizes of etched copper conductors for various tem-

perature rises above ambient.

For single conductor applications, such as the use of the

droop resistor, PCB design charts show that for a droop

resistor with a required current-carrying capacity of 16A,

and a 45ûC temperature rise above ambient, the recom-

mended cross section is 275 mil2.

´ t = 275 mil2,

where

W = droop resistor width;

t = droop resistor thickness.

For 1oz. copper, t= 1.37 mils, therefore W = 201 mils =

0.201 in.

R =

r´

where

R = droop resistor value;

r = 0.71786mW-mil (1 oz. copper);

L = droop resistor length;

W = droop resistor width.

RDROOP = 3.3mW.

3.3m

W = 0.71786mW-mil ´

Hence, L = 1265 mils = 1.265 in.

In layouts where it is impractical to lay out a droop resistor

in a straight line 1265 mils long, the embedded PCB trace

can be ÒsnakedÓ to fit within the available space.

Thermal Considerations for Power MOSFETs and Diodes

In order to maintain good reliability, the junction tempera-

ture of the semiconductor components should be kept to a

maximum of 150¡C or lower. The thermal impedance

(junction to ambient) required to meet this requirement can

be calculated as follows:

Thermal Impedance =

A heatsink may be added to TO-220 components to reduce

their thermal impedance. A number of PC board layout

techniques such as thermal vias and additional copper foil

area can be used to improve the power handling capability

of surface mount components.

As a consequence of large currents being turned on and off

at high frequency, switching regulators generate noise as a

consequence of their normal operation. When designing

for compliance with EMI/EMC regulations, additional

components may be added to reduce noise emissions.

These components are not required for regulator operation

and experimental results may allow them to be eliminated.

The input filter inductor may not be required because bulk

filter and bypass capacitors, as well as other loads located

on the board will tend to reduce regulator di/dt effects on

the circuit board and input power supply. Placement of the

power component to minimize routing distance will also

help to reduce emissions.
