1 System Overview

1.1 System DescriptionThe PMP4497 implements the 48- to 1-V single-stage power conversion using a hard-switching half-bridge converter with the current-doubler synchronize rectifier. Figure 1 shows the topology implementedin this board. A LMG5200 and EPC2023 GaN FETs are used on the primary side and secondary siderespectively. With the GaN MOSFET advantages, such as the zero-reverse recovery, low capacitance,and low Rds-on, the converter could achieve a smaller size and a higher efficiency compared with atraditional two-stage solution (for example, an eighth brick and the 12-V POL module).

Because the half-bridge converter is transformer-based, the converter can be isolated. The TPS53632controller can support an isolated converter by using a digital isolator, for example, the ISO7420, to drivethe primary-side LMG5200. The PMP4497 supports input voltage from 36 to 60 V and output voltage from0.8 to 1.2 V; the default output voltage is 1.0 V. The output current supports up to 40 A; fan cooling isrecommended to help dissipate the heat when operating above 20 A. The output voltage is programmablethrough an I²C interface. See the TPS53632 data sheet (SLUSBW8) for the details of the I²C programcommand and the data format.

1.4.1 LMG5200The LMG5200 device integrates an enhancement-mode GaN FET half-bridge power stage with a 100-Vdriver, which provides a compact solution.

The device extends the advantages of discrete GaN FETs by offering a more user-friendly interface. Thedevice is an ideal solution for the applications requiring high-frequency and high-efficiency operation in asmall form factor. Integration reduces the board clearance and creepage needed for a discrete solutionwhile minimizing the loop inductances to ensure fast switching and low ringing.

1.4.2 TPS53632The TPS53632 device is a driverless step-down controller with I²C control. Its advanced features, such asD-CAP+ architecture, provide fast transient response, and high-efficiency operation with minimized outputcapacitance. The TPS53632 device supports the standard I²C revision 3.0 interface for dynamic control ofthe output voltage and current monitor telemetry. The device also has dynamic phase adding andshedding control and is able to enter single-phase, discontinuous-current mode operation to maximizelight-load efficiency.

1.4.3 ISO7420The ISO7420 is a low-power, dual-channel digital isolator. The device is used in the design to deliverisolated control signals from the secondary side to the LMG5200 on the primary side. The ISO7420provides galvanic isolation up to 2500 V RMS for 1 minute per UL and 4242 VPK per VDE. This devicehas two isolated channels. Each channel has a logic input and output buffer separated by an insulationbarrier. Used in conjunction with an isolated power supply, the device prevents noise current from enteringthe local ground and interfering with or damaging sensitive circuitry.

1.4.4 UCC27512The UCC27512 is a single-channel, high speed, low-side gate-driver device. The device can effectivelydrive the MOSFET and insulated gate bipolar translator (IGBT) power switches with 4-A peak source and8-A peak sink asymmetrical drive capability. Using TI intellectual property (IP) that inherently minimizesshoot-through current, the UCC27512 is capable of sourcing and sinking high peak-current pulses intocapacitive loads and offering rail-to-rail drive capability with small propagation delay, typically 13 ns. In thePMP4497 design, a duty signal to IN- of the driver to drive the synchronous rectifier MOSFET. IN+ isbypassed by connecting it to VDD directly.

2.2 Circuit Operation and DescriptionTime interval t0 → t1:During the t0 → t1, Q1 and Q4 are on, and Q2 and Q3 are off. The transformer T1 secondary winding beginsto charge the output inductor L1, and the L2 is discharged to the output capacitor and the load.

Time interval t1 →t2:During the t1 → t2, Q1 and Q2 are off, and Q3 and Q4 are on. Both L1 and L2 discharges the current to theoutput; the inductor current is discharged linearly.

Time interval t2 →t3:During the t2 → t3, Q1 and Q4 are off, and Q2 and Q3 are on. The transformer T1 secondary windinginverses the polarity and begins to charge the output inductor L2, and the current in L1 is discharged to theoutput capacitor and the load.

Time interval t3 →t4:During the t3 → t4, Q1 and Q2 are off, and Q3 and Q4 are on. Both the L1 and L2 are discharged to theoutput; the inductor current is decreased linearly.

According to the simplified operation models, during the t0 → t1 (DTs) the winding begins to charge the

inductor L1 with the voltage , and the current i1 increases linearly. Within the t1 → t4 (1-D), thecurrent i1 decreases with the voltage . The inductors ripple current is as follows:

Based on the voltage-second balance of the inductor, the CCM voltage transfer ratio is

3 Getting Started Hardware

3.1 HardwareThe converter output range is from 0.8 to 1.2 V, and the input voltage range is from 36 to 60 V. Operationshould be within the input/output voltage ranges.

If the converter shuts off due to UVP or OCP, the controller IC must be rested to re-enable the converter.To change the output voltage, the I²C bus should be used to set the TPS53632. Consult the user guide forthe TPS53632 for the necessary VID protocol (SNVU520). The TPS53632 controller’s switchingfrequency, voltage ramp rate, load line, and OCP could be changed by modifying resistor values on theboard. The TPS53632 data sheet (SLUSCJ3) includes the detailed procedures to choose thesecomponents.

3.1.1 Test Equipment• DC voltage source: supplies the EVM from 36 V to 60 V, output current >2A• DC bias source: 6 to approximately 9V or 0.5 A, two outputs for the primary and secondary• Oscilloscope: >200-MHz operation, use oscilloscope probes with a pigtail spring ground clip instead of

the standard alligator clip• DC multimeter: capable of 100-V measurement, suitable for efficiency• DC load: supports 1-V operation at up to 50 A in current-mode operation• Fan cooling: 200-LFM minimum airflow is recommended to cool the PCB when operating over 20-A

output current

3.1.2 Measurement ProcedureThe following procedure is used to measure the board.1. Connect the input and output supplies as shown in Figure 8.2. Connect the oscilloscope to the board to measure input/output voltage. Use a bayonet nut connector

(BNC) to a subminiature version A (SMA) cable or differential probe for the noise immunity.3. Connect the bias supply. The onboard LDO provides 5 and 3.3 V to the power and control circuitry.4. Power up the input supply. Operation below 36 V may result in the output voltage range out of

regulation.5. Power up the bias supply to start the converter. The output voltage will ramp up and the output voltage

should be in regulation.6. Enable the electronic load and set to a desired load current.7. Test and measure the input/output voltage response, efficiency, and so forth.

3.1.3 Shutdown ProcedureAfter the measurements have been completed, shut down the board by the following steps:1. Disable the input voltage supply.2. Disable the electronic load.3. Disable the bias supply.

5.3 PCB Layout RecommendationsHigh-switching speed is important in a high-efficiency design. Optimizing the PCB layout to minimize thepower loop impedance and parasitic inductance is a necessary measure to achieve the goal.

It is recommended to use a multilayer board. Power loop parasitic impedance should be minimized byhaving the input capacitor return path (between VIN and PGND) directly underneath the first layer asshown in the below Figure 17. Loop inductance is reduced due to inductance cancellation as the returncurrent is directly underneath and flowing in the opposite direction. The VCC capacitors and the bootstrapcapacitors are placed in the first layer and should be as close to the device as possible.

The AGND of LMG5200 should not be directly connected to PGND in order to avoid the PGND noise andnot to cause spurious switching events due to noise coupling to HI and LI signals. Reducing theimpedance and the inductances on the board and the PCB layout should comply with the clearance andcreepage distance requirements.
