  • Description

    The LM3754 is a full featured single-output dual-phase voltage-mode synchronous PWM buck controller. It can be configured to control from 2 to 12 interleaved power stages creating a single high power output. This controller utilizes voltage-mode control with input voltage feed-forward for high noise immunity. An internal average current loop forces real time current sharing between phases during load transients.

    The LM3754 supports adjustable Soft-Start. The Soft-Start function can only drive the output upwards – it will not pull it down, therefore, pre-biased loads will not be discharged. Available in the 5 mm x 5 mm thermally enhanced 32-lead LLP package with a thermal pad.

    Description:

    The LM3754 evaluation board is designed to provide the design engineer with a fully functional power converter based solution using two LM3754 2-Phase Buck Controllers. This evaluation board produces an output voltage of 1.2 V at 25A per phase for a total of 100A. The switching frequency for the converter is set to 300 kHz per phase, for an effective 1.2 MHz at the input and output. The gate signals for each controller’s outputs are 180 degree out of phase, with the two controllers having a 90 degree phase shift from each other. The printed circuit board consists of 4 layers of FR4 material with 2 ounce copper on all layers.

    Note: The Early Failure Rates (EFR) were calculated as point estimate PPM based on rejects and sample size for EFR. The Long Term Failure Rates were calculated at 60% confidence using the Arrhenius equation at 0.7eV activation energy and derating the assumed stress temperature of 150°C to an application temperature of 55°C.
