Fig 3. Simplified functional block diagram of a synchronous DC-to-DC converter output
stage
The PIP212-12M combines two MOSFET transistors and a MOSFET driver in a thermally
enhanced low inductance package for use in high frequency and high efficiency
synchronous buck DC-to-DC converters; see Figure 3. The two MOSFETs are connected
in a half bridge configuration between VDDO and VSSO. The mid point of the two transistors
is VO which is connected to the output of a DC-to-DC converter via an inductor. A logic
HIGH signal on the VI pin causes the lower MOSFET to be switched off and the upper
MOSFET to be switched on. Current will then flow from the supply (VDDO), through the
upper MOSFET and the inductor (Lout) to the output.
A logic LOW signal on the VI pin causes the upper MOSFET to be turned off and the lower
MOSFET to be switched on. Current then flows from the power ground (VSSO), through
the lower MOSFET and the inductor (Lout), to the output. The output voltage is determined
by the ratio of time that the upper and lower MOSFETs conduct.
7.2 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The UVLO function ensures the correct operation of the control circuit during a power-up
and power-down sequence. Power to the control circuit is provided by the VDDC pin. This
voltage is internally monitored to ensure that if VDDC is below the UVLO threshold, the
DISABLE pin is internally pulled LOW and both MOSFETs are off. This is indicated by the
power ready (PRDY) flag, an open drain output that is pulled LOW whenever VDDC is
below the UVLO threshold.
