The SiC620 and SiC620A are integrated power stage
solutions optimized for synchronous buck applications to
offer high current, high efficiency, and high power density
performance. Packaged in Vishay’s proprietary
5 mm x 5 mm
MLP package, SiC620 and SiC620A enables voltage
regulator designs to deliver up to 60 A continuous current
per phase.
The internal power MOSFETs utilizes Vishay’s
state-of-the-art Gen IV TrenchFET technology that delivers
industry benchmark performance to significantly reduce
switching and conduction losses.
The SiC620 and SiC620A incorporates an advanced
MOSFET gate driver IC that features high current driving
capability, adaptive dead-time control, an integrated
bootstrap Schottky diode, a thermal warning (THWn) that
alerts the system of excessive junction temperature, and
zero current detect to improve light load efficiency. The
drivers are also compatible with a wide range of PWM
controllers and supports tri-state PWM, 3.3 V (SiC620A) /
5 V (SiC620) PWM logic.

DETAILED OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
PWM Input with Tri-state Function
The PWM input receives the PWM control signal from the VR
controller IC. The PWM input is designed to be compatible
with standard controllers using two state logic (H and L) and
advanced controllers that incorporate tri-state logic (H, L
and tri-state) on the PWM output. For two state logic, the
PWM input operates as follows. When PWM is driven above
V
PWM_TH_R
turned on. When PWM input is driven below V
the low-side is turned on and the high-side is
PWM_TH_F
the
high-side is turned OFF and the low-side is turned ON. For
tri-state logic, the PWM input operates as previously stated
for driving the MOSFETs. However, there is an third state
that is entered as the PWM output of tri-state compatible
controller enters its high impedance state during shut-down.
The high impedance state of the controller’s PWM output
allows the SiC620 and SiC620A to pull the PWM input into
the tri-state region (see PWM Timing Diagram). If the PWM
input stays in this region for the tri-state hold-off period,
, both high-side and low-side MOSFETs are turned
t
TSHO
OFF. This function allows the VR phase to be disabled
without negative output voltage swing caused by inductor
ringing and saves a Schottky diode clamp. The PWM and
tri-state regions are separated by hysteresis to prevent false
triggering. The SiC620A incorporates PWM voltage
thresholds that are compatible with 3.3 V logic and the
SiC620 thresholds are compatible with 5 V logic.
Disable (DSBL#)
In the low state, the DSBL# pin shuts down the driver IC and
disables both high-side and low-side MOSFETs. In this
state, standby current is minimized. If DSBL# is left
unconnected, an internal pull-down resistor will pull the pin
to C
S14-2385-Rev. E, 08-Dec-14
and shut down the IC.

Diode Emulation Mode (ZCD_EN#)
When ZCD_EN# pin is logic Low and PWM signal switches
Low, GL is forced on (after normal BBM time). During this
time, it is under control of the ZCD (zero crossing detect)
comparator. If, after the internal blanking delay, the inductor
current becomes zero, the low-side is turned off. This
improves light load efficiency by avoiding discharge of
output capacitors. If PWM enters tri-state, then device will
go into normal tri-state mode after tri-state delay. The GL
output will be turned off regardless of Inductor current, this
is an alternative method of improving light load efficiency by
reducing switching losses.
Thermal Shutdown Warning (THWn)
The THWn pin is an open drain signal that flags the presence
of excessive junction temperature. Connect with a
maximum of 20 kΩ, to V
. An internal temperature sensor
CIN
detects the junction temperature. The temperature
threshold is 160 °C. When this junction temperature is
exceeded the THWn flag is set. When the junction
temperature drops below 135 °C the device will clear the
THWn signal. The SiC620 and SiC620A do not stop
operation when the flag is set. The decision to shutdown
must be made by an external thermal control function.
Voltage Input (V
)
IN
This is the power input to the drain of the high-side power
MOSFET. This pin is connected to the high power
intermediate BUS rail.

FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
Bootstrap Circuit (BOOT)
The internal bootstrap diode and an external bootstrap
capacitor form a charge pump that supplies voltage to the
BOOT pin. An integrated bootstrap diode is incorporated so
that only an external capacitor is necessary to complete the
bootstrap circuit. Connect a boot strap capacitor with one
leg tied to BOOT pin and the other tied to PHASE pin.
Shoot-Through Protection and Adaptive Dead Time
The SiC620 and SiC620A have an internal adaptive logic to
avoid shoot through and optimize dead time. The shoot
through protection ensures that both high-side and low-side
MOSFETs are not turned ON at the same time. The adaptive
dead time control operates as follows. The HS and LS gate
voltages are monitored to prevent the one turning ON from
tuning ON until the other's gate voltage is sufficiently low
(< 1 V). Built in delays also ensure that one power MOS is
completely OFF, before the other can be turned ON. This
feature helps to adjust dead time as gate transitions change
with respect to output current and temperature. Change
with respect to output current and temperature.
Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
During the start up cycle, the UVLO disables the gate
drive holding high-side and low-side MOSFET gates low
until the supply voltage rail has reached a point at which
the logic circuitry can be safely activated. The SiC620,
SiC620A also incorporates logic to clamp the gate drive
signals to zero when the UVLO falling edge triggers the
shutdown of the device. As an added precaution, a 20 kΩ
resistor is connected between GH and PHASE to provide a
discharge path for the HS MOSFET.

Multi-Phases VRPower PCB Layout
Following is an example for 6 phase layout. As can be seen, all the VRPower stages are lined in X-direction compactly with
decoupling caps next to them. The inductors are placed as close as possible to the SiC620 and SiC620A to minimize the PCB
copper loss. Vias are applied on all PADs (VIN, P
performance are excellent. Large copper planes are used for all the high current loops, such as VIN, V
copper planes are duplicated in other layers to minimize the inductance and resistance. All the control signals are routed from
the SiC620 and SiC620A to a controller placed to the north of the power stage through inner layers to avoid the overlap of high
current loops. This achieves a compact design with the output from the inductors feeding a load located to the south of the
design as shown in the figure.
