Many of todays high performance computing systems require low power consumption in an effort to reduce
system operating temperatures and improve overall system efficiency. This has created a major emphasis on
improving the conversion efficiency of todays Synchronous Buck Topology. In particular, there has been an
emphasis in improving the performance of the critical Power Semiconductor in the Power Stage of this
Application (see Figure 28). As such, optimization of the power semiconductors in these applications, needs to
go beyond simply reducing R
DS(ON)
.
F igu r e 28 .
The CSD86330Q3D is part of TIs Power Block product family which is a highly optimized product for use in a
synchronous buck topology requiring high current, high efficiency, and high frequency. It incorporates TIs latest
generation silicon which has been optimized for switching performance, as well as minimizing losses associated
with Q
GD
, Q
GS
, and Q
RR
. Furthermore, TIs patented packaging technology has minimized losses by nearly
eliminating parasitic elements between the Control FET and Sync FET connections (see Figure 29). A key
challenge solved by TIs patented packaging technology is the system level impact of Common Source
Inductance (CSI). CSI greatly impedes the switching characteristics of any MOSFET which in turn increases
switching losses and reduces systemefficiency. As a result, the effects of CSI need to be considered during the
MOSFET selection process. In addition, standard MOSFET switching loss equations used to predict system
efficiency need to be modified in order to account for the effects of CSI. Further details behind the effects of CSI
and modification of switching loss equations are outlined in TIs Application Note SLPA009.

The combination of TIs latest generation silicon and optimized packaging technology has created a
benchmarking solution that outperforms industry standard MOSFET chipsets of similar R
DS(ON)
and MOSFET
chipsets with lower R
DS(ON)
. and compare the efficiency and power loss performance of the CSD86330Q3D
versus industry standard MOSFET chipsets commonly used in this type of application. This comparison purely
focuses on the efficiency and generated loss of the power semiconductors only. The performance of
CSD86330Q3D clearly highlights the importance of considering the Effective AC On-Impedance (Z
DS(ON)
) during
the MOSFET selection process of any new design. Simply normalizing to traditional MOSFET R
DS(ON)
specifications is not an indicator of the actual in-circuit performance when using TIs Power Block technology.
F igu r e 3 0 . F igu r e 3 1.
The chart below compares the traditional DC measured R
DS(ON)
of CSD86330Q3D versus its Z
DS(ON)
. This
comparison takes into account the improved efficiency associated with TIs patented packaging technology. As
such, when comparing TIs Power Block products to individually packaged discrete MOSFETs or dual MOSFETs
in a standard package, the in-circuit switching performance of the solution must be considered. In this example,
individually packaged discrete MOSFETs or dual MOSFETs in a standard package would need to have DC
measured R
DS(ON)
values that are equivalent to CSD86330Q3Ds Z
DS(ON)
value in order to have the same
efficiency performance at full load. Mid to light-load efficiency will still be lower with individually packaged discrete
MOSFETs or dual MOSFETs in a standard package.

The CSD86330Q3D NexFET power block is an optimized design for synchronous buck applications using 5V
gate drive. The Control FET and Sync FET silicon are parametrically tuned to yield the lowest power loss and
highest systemefficiency. As a result, a newrating method is needed which is tailored towards a more systems
centric environment. System level performance curves such as Power Loss, Safe Operating Area, and
normalized graphs allowengineers to predict the product performance in the actual application.
P owe r Los s C u r ve s
MOSFET centric parameters such as R
DS(ON)
and Q
gd
are needed to estimate the loss generated by the devices.
In an effort to simplify the design process for engineers, Texas Instruments has provided measured power loss
performance curves. Figure 1 plots the power loss of the CSD86330Q3D as a function of load current. This curve
is measured by configuring and running the CSD86330Q3D as it would be in the final application (see
Figure 32).The measured power loss is the CSD86330Q3D loss and consists of both input conversion loss and
gate drive loss. Equation 1 is used to generate the power loss curve.

The SOA curves in the CSD86330Q3D data sheet provides guidance on the temperature boundaries within an
operating systemby incorporating the thermal resistance and systempower loss. Figure 3 to Figure 5 outline the
temperature and airflow conditions required for a given load current. The area under the curve dictates the safe
operating area. All the curves are based on measurements made on a PCB design with dimensions of 4 (W)

The normalized curves in the CSD86330Q3D data sheet provides guidance on the Power Loss and SOA
adjustments based on their application specific needs. These curves show how the power loss and SOA
boundaries will adjust for a given set of systems conditions. The primary Y-axis is the normalized change in
power loss and the secondary Y-axis is the change is systemtemperature required in order to comply with the
SOA curve. The change in power loss is a multiplier for the Power Loss curve and the change in temperature is
subtracted fromthe SOA curve.

The user can estimate product loss and SOA boundaries by arithmetic means (see Design Example). Though
the Power Loss and SOA curves in this data sheet are taken for a specific set of test conditions, the following

In the design example above, the estimated power loss of the CSD86330Q3D would increase to 2.67W. In
addition, the maximumallowable board and/or ambient temperature would have to decrease by 5.3C. Figure 33
graphically shows howthe SOA curve would be adjusted accordingly.
1. Start by drawing a horizontal line fromthe application current to the SOA curve.
2. Drawa vertical line fromthe SOA curve intercept down to the board/ambient temperature.
3. Adjust the SOA board/ambient temperature by subtracting the temperature adjustment value.
In the design example, the SOA temperature adjustment yields a reduction in allowable board/ambient
temperature of 5.3C. In the event the adjustment value is a negative number, subtracting the negative number
would yield an increase in allowable board/ambient temperature.

There are two key system-level parameters that can be addressed with a proper PCB design: Electrical and
Thermal performance. Properly optimizing the PCB layout will yield maximumperformance in both areas. A brief
description on howto address each parameter is provided.
E l e ctr ical P e r for man ce
The Power Block has the ability to switch voltages at rates greater than 10kV/s. Special care must be then
taken with the PCB layout design and placement of the input capacitors, Driver IC, and output inductor.
The placement of the input capacitors relative to the Power Blocks VIN and PGND pins should have the
highest priority during the component placement routine. It is critical to minimize these node lengths. As such,
ceramic input capacitors need to be placed as close as possible to the VIN and PGND pins (see Figure 34).
The example in Figure 34 uses 6 10-F ceramic capacitors (TDK Part #C3216X5R1C106KT or equivalent).
Notice there are ceramic capacitors on both sides of the board with an appropriate amount of vias
interconnecting both layers. In terms of priority of placement next to the Power Block, C5, C7, C19, and C8
should followin order.
The Driver IC should be placed relatively close to the Power Block Gate pins. T
G
and B
G
should connect to
the outputs of the Driver IC. The T
GR
pin serves as the return path of the high-side gate drive circuitry and
should be connected to the Phase pin of the IC (sometimes called LX, LL, SW, PH, etc.). The bootstrap
capacitor for the Driver IC will also connect to this pin.
The switching node of the output inductor should be placed relatively close to the Power Block VSW pins.
Minimizing the node length between these two components will reduce the PCB conduction losses and
actually reduce the switching noise level.
In the event the switch node waveform exhibits ringing that reaches undesirable levels, the use of a Boost
Resistor or RC snubber can be an effective way to reduce the peak ring level. The recommended Boost
Resistor value will range between 1 to 4.7 depending on the output characteristics of Driver IC used in
conjunction with the Power Block. The RC snubber values can range from0.5 to 2.2 for the R and 330pF
to 2200pF for the C. Refer to TI App Note SLUP100 for more details on howto properly tune the RC snubber
values. The RC snubber should be placed as close as possible to the Vswnode and PGND see Figure 34

T h e r mal P e r for man ce
The Power Block has the ability to utilize the GND planes as the primary thermal path. As such, the use of
thermal vias is an effective way to pull away heat fromthe device and into the systemboard. Concerns of solder
voids and manufacturability problems can be addressed by the use of three basic tactics to minimize the amount
of solder attach that will wick down the via barrel:
Intentionally space out the vias fromeach other to avoid a cluster of holes in a given area.
Use the smallest drill size allowed in your design. The example in Figure 34 uses vias with a 10 mil drill hole
and a 16 mil capture pad.
Tent the opposite side of the via with solder-mask.
In the end, the number and drill size of the thermal vias should align with the end users PCB design rules and
manufacturing capabilities.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per J ESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per J ESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as components) are sold subject to TIs terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TIs terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or

of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TIs goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or enhanced plasticare designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
