MAX16993 Step-Down Controller with
Dual 2.1MHz Step-Down DC-DC Converters
General Description
The MAX16993 power-management integrated circuit
(PMIC) is a 2.1MHz, multichannel, DC-DC convert-
er designed for automotive applications. The device
integrates three supplies in a small footprint. The device
includes one high-voltage step-down controller (OUT1)
designed to run directly from a car battery and two low-
voltage step-down converters (OUT2/OUT3) cascaded
from OUT1. Under no-load conditions, the MAX16993
consumes only 30µA of quiescent current, making it ideal
for automotive applications.
The high-voltage synchronous step-down DC-DC
controller (OUT1) operates from a voltage up to 36V
continuous and is protected from load-dump transients up
to 42V. There is a pin-selectable frequency option of either
2.1MHz or a factory-set frequency for 1.05MHz, 525kHz,
420kHz, or 350kHz. The low-voltage, synchronous step-
down DC-DC converters run directly from OUT1 and can
supply output currents up to 3A.
The device provides a spread-spectrum enable input
(SSEN) to provide quick improvement in electromagnetic
interference when needed. There is also a SYNC
input for providing an input to synchronize to
an external clock source (see the Selector Guide).
The device includes overtemperature shutdown and
overcurrent limiting. The device also includes indi-
vidual RESET_ outputs and individual enable inputs.
The individual RESET_ outputs provide voltage
monitoring for all output channels.
The MAX16993 is available in a 32-pin TQFN/side-
wettable QFND-EP package and is specified for operation
over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.

Detailed Description
The MAX16993 power-management integrated circuit
(PMIC) is a 2.1MHz, multichannel, DC-DC converter
designed for automotive applications. The device includes
one high-voltage step-down controller (OUT1) designed
to run directly from a car battery and two low-voltage step-
down converters (OUT2/OUT3) cascaded from OUT1.
The 2.1MHz, high-voltage buck controller operates with
a 3.5V to 36V input voltage range and is protected from
load-dump transients up to 42V. The high-frequency
operation eliminates AM band interference and reduces
the solution footprint. It can provide an output voltage
between 3.0V and 5.5V set at the factory or with external
resistors. Each device has two frequency options that
are pin selectable: 2.1MHz or a lower frequency based
on factory setting. Available factory-set frequencies are
1.05MHz, 525kHz, 420kHz, or 350kHz. Under no-load
conditions, the device consumes only 30µA of quiescent
current with OUT1 enabled.
The dual buck converters can deliver 1.5A or 3.0A of
load current per output. They operate directly from OUT1
and provide 0.8V to 3.95V output voltage range. Factory
trimmed output voltages achieve ±3% output error over
load, line, and temperature without using expensive
±0.1% resistors. In addition, adjustable output-voltage
versions can be set to any desired values between 0.8V
and 3.6V using an external resistive divider. On-board
low RDS(ON) switches help minimize efficiency losses
at heavy loads and reduce critical/parasitic inductance,
making the layout a much simpler task with respect to
discrete solutions. Following a simple layout and footprint
ensures first-pass success in new designs (see the PCB
Layout Guidelines section).
The device features a SYNC input (see the Synchronization
(SYNC) section and the Selector Guide). An optional
spread-spectrum frequency modulation minimizes radi-
ated electromagnetic emissions due to the switching
frequency, and a factory-programmable synchronization
I/O (SYNC) allows better noise immunity. Additional fea-
tures include a 4ms fixed soft-start for OUT1 and 2.5ms
for OUT2/OUT3, individual RESET_ outputs, overcurrent,
and overtemperature protections. See the Selector Guide
for the available options.
Enable Inputs (EN_)
All three regulators have their own enable input. When
EN1 exceeds the EN1 high threshold, the internal
linear regulator is switched on. When VSUP exceeds the
VSUP,STARTUP threshold, Buck 1 is enabled and OUT1
starts to ramp up with a 4ms soft-start. Once the Buck 1
soft-start is complete, Buck 2 and Buck 3 can be enabled.
When either Buck 2 or Buck 3 is enabled, the correspond-
ing output ramps up with a 2.5ms soft-start. When an
enable input is pulled low, the converter is switched off
and the corresponding OUT_ and RESET_ are driven
low. If EN1 is low, all regulators are disabled.
Reset Outputs (RESET_)
The device features individual open-drain RESET_ out-
puts for each buck output that asserts when the buck
output voltage drops 6% below the regulated voltage.
RESET_ remains asserted for a fixed timeout period after
the buck output rises up to its regulated voltage. The
fixed timeout period is programmable between 0.1ms and
7.4ms (see the Selector Guide). To obtain a logic signal,
pull up RESET_ with an external resistor connected to a
positive voltage lower than 5V.
Linear Regulator (BIAS)
The device features a 5V internal linear regulator (BIAS).
Connect BIAS to PV, which acts as a supply for internal
circuitry. Also connect BIAS to PV1, which acts as a
supply for the low-side gate driver of Buck 1. Bypass BIAS
as close as possible to the device with a 2.2µF or larger
ceramic capacitor. BIAS can provide up to 100mA (max),
but is not designed to supply external loads. After OUT1
completes soft-start, BIAS LDO is turned off and the BIAS
pin is shorted to the OUT1 pin internally to power the
internal circuits (e.g., if OUT1 is set to 3.3V, BIAS transi-
tions from 5V to 3.3V after soft-start).
Internal Oscillator
Buck 1 Clock Select (CSEL1)
The device offers a Buck 1 clock-select input. Connect
CSEL1 to GND for 2.1MHz operation. Connect CSEL1 to
BIAS to divide down the Buck 1 clock frequency by 2, 4, 5,
or 6 (see the Selector Guide). Buck 2 and Buck 3 switch
at 2.1MHz (typ) and are not controlled by CSEL1.

Dual 2.1MHz Step-Down DC-DC Converters

13
Spread-Spectrum Enable (SSEN)
The device features a spread-spectrum enable (SSEN)
input that can quickly enable spread-spectrum operation
to reduce radiated emissions. Connect SSEN to BIAS to
enable the spread-spectrum oscillator. Connect SSEN
to GND for standard oscillator operation. When spread
spectrum is enabled, the internal oscillator frequency
is varied between fSW and (fSW + 6%). The change in
frequency has a sawtooth shape and a frequency of 4kHz
(see Figure 1). This function does not apply to externally
applied oscillation frequency. See the Selector Guide for
available options.
Synchronization (SYNC)
SYNC is factory-programmable I/O. See the Selector
Guide for available options. When SYNC is configured as
an input, a logic-high on SYNC enables fixed-frequency,
forced-PWM mode. Apply an external clock on the SYNC
input to synchronize the internal oscillator to an external
clock. The SYNC input accepts signal frequencies in the
rangeof1.7MHz<fSYNC<2.4MHz.Theexternalclock
should have a duty cycle of 50%. A logic-low at the SYNC
input enables the device to enter a low-power skip mode
under light-load conditions.
Common Protection Features
Undervoltage Lockout
The device offers an undervoltage-lockout feature.
Undervoltage detection is performed on the PV input. If
VSUP decreases to the point where Buck 1 is in drop-
out, PV begins to decrease. If PV falls below the UVLO
threshold (2.7V, typ), all three converters switch off and
the RESET_ outputs assert low. Once the device has
been switched off, VSUP must exceed the VSUP,STARTUP
threshold before Buck 1 turns back on.
Output Overvoltage Protection
The device features overvoltage protection on the buck
converter outputs. If the FB1 input exceeds the output
overvoltage threshold, a discharge current is switched on
at OUT1 and RESET1 asserts low.

Soft-Start
The device includes a 4ms fixed soft-start time on OUT1
and 2.5ms fixed soft-start time on OUT2/OUT3. Soft-start
time limits startup inrush current by forcing the output
voltage to ramp up towards its regulation point. If OUT1
is prebiased above 1.25V, all three buck converters do
not start up until the prebias has been removed. Once the
prebias has been removed, OUT1 self-discharges to GND
and then goes into soft-start.
Thermal Warning and Overtemperature
Protection
The device features an open-drain, thermal-warning
indicator (ERR). ERR asserts low when the junction
temperature exceeds +150°C (typ). The hysteresis on
the thermal warning is 15°C (typ). For a logic signal,
connect a pullup resistor from ERR to a supply less than
or equal to 5V. When the junction temperature exceeds
+170°C (typ), an internal thermal sensor shuts down the
buck converters, allowing the device to cool. The thermal
sensor turns the device on again after the junction
temperature cools by 15°C (typ).
Buck 1 (OUT1)
Buck controller 1 uses a PWM current-mode control
scheme. An internal transconductance amplifier estab-
lishes an integrated error voltage. The heart of the PWM
controller is an open-loop comparator that compares the
integrated voltage-feedback signal against the amplified
current-sense signal plus the slope-compensation ramp,
which are summed into the main PWM comparator to
preserve inner-loop stability and eliminate inductor stair-
casing. At each rising edge of the internal clock, the high-
side MOSFET turns on until the PWM comparator trips or
the maximum duty cycle is reached, or the peak current
limit is reached. During this on-time, current ramps up
through the inductor, storing energy in a magnetic field
and sourcing current to the output. The current-mode
feedback system regulates the peak inductor current as a
function of the output-voltage error signal. The circuit acts
as a switch-mode transconductance amplifier and pushes
the output LC filter pole normally found in a voltage-mode
PWM to a higher frequency.
During the second half of the cycle, the high-side
MOSFET turns off and the low-side MOSFET turns on.
The inductor releases the stored energy as the current
ramps down, providing current to the output. The out-
put capacitor stores charge when the inductor current
exceeds the required load current and discharges when
the inductor current is lower, smoothing the voltage
across the load. Under soft-overload conditions, when the
peak inductor current exceeds the selected current limit
(see the Current-Limit/Short-Circuit Protection section),
the high-side MOSFET is turned off immediately and the
low-side MOSFET is turned on and remains on to let the
inductor current ramp down until the next clock cycle.
PWM/Skip Modes
The device features a synchronization input that puts all
the buck regulators either in skip mode or forced-PWM
mode of operation (see the Synchronization (SYNC)
section). In the PWM mode of operation, the regulator
switches at a constant frequency with variable on-time.
In the skip mode of operation, the regulator’s switching
frequency is load dependent until the output load reaches
a certain threshold. At higher load current, the switch-
ing frequency does not change and the operating mode
is similar to the PWM mode. Skip mode helps improve
efficiency in light-load applications by allowing the regula-
tor to turn on the high-side switch only when the output
voltage falls below a set threshold. As such, the regulator
does not switch MOSFETs on and off as often as is the
case in the PWM mode. Consequently, the gate charge
and switching losses are much lower in skip mode.
Minimum On-Time and Duty Cycle
The high-side gate driver for Buck 1 has a minimum on-
time of 75ns (max). This helps ensure no skipped pulses
when operating the device in PWM mode at 2.1MHz with
supply voltage up to 18V and output voltage down to
3.3V. Pulse skipping can occur if the on-time falls below
the minimum allowed (see the Electrical Characteristics).
Current-Limit/Short-Circuit Protection
OUT1 offers a current-limit feature that protects Buck 1
against short-circuit and overload conditions on the buck
controller. Buck 1 offers a current-limit sense input (CS1).
Place a sense resistor in the path of the channel 1 current
flow. Connect CS1 to the high side of the sense resistor
and OUT1 to the low side of the sense resistor. Current-
limit protection activates once the voltage across the
sense resistor increases above the 120mV (typ) current-
limit threshold. In the event of a short-circuit or overload
condition, the high-side MOSFET remains on until the
inductor current reaches the current-limit threshold. The
converter then turns on the low-side MOSFET and the
inductor current ramps down. The converter allows the
high-side MOSFET to turn on only when the voltage
across the current-sense resistor ramps down to below
120mV (typ). This cycle repeats until the short or overload
condition is removed.

Current-Sense Measurement
For the best current-sense accuracy and overcurrent pro-
tection, use a 1% tolerance current-sense resistor between
the inductor and output, as shown in Figure 2. This con-
figuration constantly monitors the inductor current, allow-
ing accurate current-limit protection. Use low-inductance
current-sense resistors for accurate measurement.
High-Side Gate-Drive Supply (BST1)
The high-side MOSFET is turned on by closing an inter-
nal switch between BST1 and DH1 and transferring the
bootstrap capacitor’s (at BST1) charge to the gate of the
high-side MOSFET. This charge refreshes when the high-
side MOSFET turns off and the LX1 voltage drops down
to ground potential, taking the negative terminal of the
capacitor to the same potential. At this time, the bootstrap
diode recharges the positive terminal of the bootstrap
capacitor. The selected n-channel high-side MOSFET
determines the appropriate boost capacitance values
(CBST1 in the Typical Operating Circuit) according to the
following equation:
G
BST 1
BST 1
Q
CV
=
where QG is the total gate charge of the high-side
MOSFET and ΔVBST1 is the voltage variation allowed
on the high-side MOSFET driver after turn-on. Choose
ΔVBST1 such that the available gate-drive voltage is not
significantlydegraded(e.g.,ΔVBST1 = 100mV to 300mV)
when determining CBST1. Use a Schottky diode when
efficiency is most important, as this maximizes the gate-
drive voltage. If the quiescent current at high temperature
is important, it may be necessary to use a low-leakage
switching diode.
The boost capacitor should be a low-ESR ceramic
capacitor. A minimum value of 100nF works in most
cases. A minimum value of 470nF is recommended when
using a Schottky diode.
Dropout
When OUT1 input voltage is lower than the desired output
voltage, the converter is in dropout mode. Buck 1 continu-
ously draws current from the bootstrap capacitor when the
high-side switch is on. Therefore, the bootstrap capacitor
needs to be refreshed periodically. When in dropout, the
Buck 1 high-side gate drive shuts off every 8µs, at which
point the low-side gate drive turns on for 120ns.
Buck 2 and Buck 3 (OUT2 and OUT3)
Buck converters 2 and 3 are high-efficiency, low-
voltage converters with integrated FETs. They use a
PWM current-mode control scheme that is operated at
2.1MHz to optimize component size and efficiency, while
eliminating AM band interference. The buck converters
can be configured to deliver 1.5A or 3.0A per channel.
They operate directly from OUT1 and have either fixed
or resistor-programmable (see the Selector Guide) output
voltages that range from 0.8V to 3.95V. Buck 2 and Buck 3
feature low on-resistance internal FETs that contribute to
high efficiency and smaller system cost and board space.
Integration of the p-channel high-side FET enables both
channels to operate with 100% duty cycle when the input
voltage falls to near the output voltage. They feature a
programmable active timeout period (see the Selector
Guide) that adds a fixed delay before the corresponding
RESET_ can go high.
FPWM/Skip Modes
The MAX16993 features an input (SYNC) that puts the
converter either in skip mode or forced PWM (FPWM)
mode of operation. See the Internal Oscillator section.
In FPWM mode, the converter switches at a constant
frequency with variable on-time. In skip mode, the con-
verter’s switching frequency is load-dependent until the
output load reaches a certain threshold. At higher load
current, the switching frequency does not change and the
operating mode is similar to the FPWM mode.

Skip mode helps improve efficiency in light-load appli-
cations by allowing the converters to turn on the high-
side switch only when the output voltage falls below a
set threshold. As such, the converter does not switch
MOSFETs on and off as often as is the case in the FPWM
mode. Consequently, the gate charge and switching
losses are much lower in skip mode.
Current-Limit/Short-Circuit Protection
Buck converters 2 and 3 feature current limit that protects
the device against short-circuit and overload conditions at
their outputs. The current limit value is dependent on the
version selected, 1.5A or 3.0A maximum DC current. See
the Selector Guide for the current limit value of the chosen
option and the Electrical Characteristics table for the cor-
responding current limit. In the event of a short-circuit or
overload condition at an output, the high-side MOSFET
remains on until the inductor current reaches the high-
side MOSFET’s current-limit threshold. The converter
then turns on the low-side MOSFET and the inductor cur-
rent ramps down.
The converter allows the low-side MOSFET to turn off
only when the inductor current ramps down to the low-
side MOSFET’s current threshold. This cycle repeats until
the short or overload condition is removed.
Applications Information
OUT1 Adjustable Output-Voltage Option
The device’s adjustable output-voltage version (see
the Selector Guide for details) allows the customer to
set OUT1 voltage between 3.0V and 5.5V. Connect a
resistive divider from OUT1 to FB1 to GND to set the
output voltage (Figure 3). Select R2 (FB1 to GND resistor)

The external feedback resistive divider must be frequency
compensated for proper operation. Place a capacitor
across R1 in the resistive divider network. Use the follow-
ing equation to determine the value of the capacitor:
if R2/R1 > 1, C1 = C(R2/R1)
else, C1 = C, where C = 10pF.
For fixed output options, connect FB1 to BIAS for the
factory-programmed, fixed output voltage. Connect FB1
to GND for a fixed 3.3V output voltage.

capacitor on the VSUP input and a single 0.1µF capacitor on
the PV1 input. Place these capacitors as close as possible to
their corresponding inputs to ensure the best EMI and jitter
performance.
OUT1 Output Capacitor
The primary purpose of the OUT1 output capacitor is
to reduce the change in VOUT1 during load transient
conditions. The minimum capacitor depends on the output
voltage, maximum current, and load regulation accuracy.
Use the following formula to determine the minimum out-
put capacitor for Buck 1:

where fCO is the crossover frequency set by RC and CC,
andΔVOUT1 is the allowable change in voltage during a
load transient condition.
For proper functionality, ceramic capacitors must be
used. Make sure that the self-resonance of the ceramic
capacitors is above 1MHz to avoid instability.
Buck 1 MOSFET Selection
Buck 1 drives two external logic-level n-channel MOSFETs
as the circuit switch elements. The key selection param-
eters to choose these MOSFETs are:
● On-resistance (RDS(ON))
● Maximum drain-to-source voltage (VDS(MAX))
● Minimum threshold voltage (VTH(MIN))
● Total gate charge (QG)
● Reverse transfer capacitance (CRSS)
● Power dissipation
Both n-channel MOSFETs must be logic-level types with
guaranteed on-resistance specifications at VGS = 4.5V
when VOUT1 is set to 5V or VGS = 3V when VOUT1 is set
to 3.3V. The conduction losses at minimum input voltage
should not exceed MOSFET package thermal limits or
violate the overall thermal budget. Also, ensure that the
conduction losses plus switching losses at the maximum
input voltage do not exceed package ratings or violate the
overall thermal budget. In particular, check that the dV/dt
caused by DH1 turning on does not pull up the DL1 gate
through its drain-to-gate capacitance. This is the most
frequent cause of cross-conduction problems.
Gate-charge losses are dissipated by the driver and do
not heat the MOSFET. Therefore, the power dissipation
in the device due to drive losses must be checked. Both
MOSFETs must be selected so that their total gate charge

is low enough; therefore, PV1/ VOUT1 can power both
drivers without overheating the device:
PDRIVE = VOUT1 x (QGTOTH + QGTOTL) x fSW1
where QGTOTL is the low-side MOSFET total gate charge
and QGTOTH is the high-side MOSFET total gate charge.
Select MOSFETs with a QG_ total of less than 10nC. The
selected MOSFET must have an input capacitance (CISS)
less than 900pF (typ) to prevent possible damage to the
device.
The n-channel MOSFETs must deliver the average
current to the load and the peak current during switching.
Dual MOSFETs in a single package can be an economical
solution. To reduce switching noise for smaller MOSFETs,
use a series resistor in the DH1 path and additional gate
capacitance. Contact the factory for guidance using gate
resistors.
Compensation Network
The device uses a current-mode-control scheme that
regulates the output voltage by forcing the required
current through the external inductor, so the controller
uses the voltage drop across the DC resistance of the
inductor or the alternate series current-sense resistor
to measure the inductor current. Current-mode control
eliminates the double pole in the feedback loop caused
by the inductor and output capacitor, resulting in a smaller
phase shift and requiring less elaborate error-amplifier
compensation than voltage-mode control. A single series
resistor (RC) and capacitor (CC) is all that is required
to have a stable, high-bandwidth loop in applications
where ceramic capacitors are used for output filtering
(see Figure 4). For other types of capacitors, due to the
higher capacitance and ESR, the frequency of the zero
created by the capacitance and ESR is lower than the
desired closed-loop crossover frequency. To stabilize a
nonceramic output capacitor loop, add another compen-
sation capacitor (CF) from COMP1 to GND to cancel this
ESR zero.
The basic regulator loop is modeled as a power modu-
lator, output feedback divider, and an error amplifier
(see Figure 4). The power modulator has a DC gain set by
gmc x RLOAD, with a pole and zero pair set by RLOAD, the
output capacitor (COUT), and its ESR. The loop response
is set by the following equation:
GAINMOD(dc) = gmc x RLOAD
where RLOAD = VOUT/ILOUT(MAX) in Ω and gmc =
1/(AV_CS x RDC) in S. AV_CS is the voltage gain of the
current-sense amplifier and is typically 8V/V. RDC is the
DC resistance of the inductor or the current-sense resistor
inΩ.
In a current-mode step-down converter, the output capaci-
tor and the load resistance introduce a pole at the follow-
ing frequency:

When COUT is composed of “n” identical capacitors in
parallel, the resulting COUT = n x COUT(EACH), and ESR
= ESR(EACH)/n. Note that the capacitor zero for a parallel
combination of like-value capacitors is the same as for an
individual capacitor.
The feedback voltage-divider has a gain of GAINFB =
VFB/VOUT, where VFB is 1V (typ).
The transconductance error amplifier has a DC gain
of GAINEA(DC) = gm,EA x ROUT,EA, where gm,EA is
the error amplifier transconductance, which is 660µS
(typ), and ROUT,EA is the output resistance of the error
amplifier,whichis30MΩ(typ).
A dominant pole (fdpEA) is set by the compensation capac-
itor (CC) and the amplifier output resistance (ROUT,EA). A
zero (fZEA) is set by the compensation resistor (RC) and
the compensation capacitor (CC). There is an optional
pole (fPEA) set by CF and RC to cancel the output

OUT2/OUT3 Adjustable Output-Voltage Option

Selector Guide for details) allows the customer to set
the outputs to any voltage between 0.8V and 3.95V.

(VOUT_(BUCK)) to OUT_ to GND to set the output voltage

The external feedback resistive divider must be frequency
compensated for proper operation. Place a capacitor in
parallel to R3 in the resistive divider network. Use the fol-
lowing equation to determine the value of the capacitor:
if R4/R3 > 1, C2 = C(R4/R3)
else, C2 = C, where C = 10pF.
For fixed output-voltage options, connect OUT_ to VOUT_
for the factory-programmed, fixed-output voltage between
0.8V and 3.95V.
OUT2/OUT3 Inductor Selection
Three key inductor parameters must be specified for
operation with the MAX16993: inductance value (L),
inductor saturation current (ISAT), and DC resistance
(RDCR). Use the following formulas to determine the mini-
mum inductor value.

The next equation ensures that the inductor current down

this to be the case the following equation needs to be

To satisfy both LMIN1 and LMIN2, LMIN must be set to the

LMIN = max (LMIN1, LMIN2)
The maximum inductor value recommended is 1.6 times
the chosen value from the above formula.
LMAX = 1.6 x LMIN
Select a nominal inductor value based on the following
formula:
LMIN<LNOM <LMAX
OUT2/OUT3 Input Capacitor
Place a single 4.7µF ceramic bypass capacitor on the
PV2 and PV3 inputs. Phase interleaving of the two low-
voltage buck converters contributes to a lower required
input capacitance by cancelling input ripple currents. Place
the bypass capacitors as close as possible to their cor-
responding PV_ input to ensure the best EMI and jitter
performance.

Figure 5. Adjustable OUT2/OUT3 Voltage Configuration
For proper functionality, ceramic capacitors must be
used. Make sure that the self-resonance of the ceramic
capacitors is above 1MHz to avoid instability.
Thermal Considerations
How much power the package can dissipate strongly
depends on the mounting method of the IC to the PCB
and the copper area for cooling. Using the JEDEC test
standard, the maximum power dissipation allowed is
2160mW in the side-wettable QFND package. More
power dissipation can be handled by the package if great
attention is given during PCB layout. For example, using
the top and bottom copper as a heatsink and connect-
ing the thermal vias to one of the middle layers (GND)
transfers the heat from the package into the board more
efficiently, resulting in lower junction temperature at
high power dissipation in some MAX16993 applications.
Furthermore, the solder mask around the IC area on both
top and bottom layers can be removed to radiate the heat
directly into the air. The maximum allowable power dis-
sipation in the IC is as follows:
J ( MAX ) A
MAX
JC CA
(T T )
P
=θ
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature
(+150°C), TAistheambientairtemperature,θJC (2.8°C/W
for the side-wettable QFND) is the thermal resistance
from the junction to the case, and θCA is the thermal
resistance from the case to the surrounding air through
thePCB,coppertraces,andthepackagematerials.θCA
is directly related to system-level variables and can be
modified to increase the maximum power dissipation. The
QFND package has an exposed thermal pad on its under-
side. This pad provides a low thermal-resistance path for
heat transfer into the PCB. This low thermally resistive
path carries a majority of the heat away from the IC. The
PCB is effectively a heatsink for the IC. The exposed pad
should be connected to a large ground plane for proper
thermal and electrical performance. The minimum size
of the ground plane is dependent upon many system
variables. To create an efficient path, the exposed pad
should be soldered to a thermal landing, which is con-
nected to the ground plane by thermal vias. The thermal
landing should be at least as large as the exposed pad
and can be made larger depending on the amount of free
space from the exposed pad to the other pin landings. A
sample layout is available on the MAX16993 Evaluation
Kit to speed designs.
PCB Layout Guidelines
Careful PCB layout is critical to achieve low switching
losses and clean, stable operation. Use a multilayer board
whenever possible for better noise immunity and power
dissipation. Follow these guidelines for good PCB layout:
1) Use a large contiguous copper plane under the device
package. Ensure that all heat-dissipating components
have adequate cooling.
2) Isolate the power components and high-current path
from the sensitive analog circuitry. This is essential to
prevent any noise coupling into the analog signals.
3) Keep the high-current paths short, especially at the
ground terminals. This practice is essential for stable,
jitter-free operation. The high-current path comprising
of input capacitor, high-side FET, inductor, and the
output capacitor should be as short as possible.
4) Keep the power traces and load connections short. This
practice is essential for high efficiency. Use thick copper
PCBs (2oz vs. 1oz) to enhance full-load efficiency.
5) The analog signal lines should be routed away from
the high-frequency planes. This ensures integrity of
sensitive signals feeding back into the device.
6) Use a single ground plane to reduce the chance of
ground-potential differences. With a single ground
plane, enough isolation between analog return signals
and high-power signals must be maintained.
