TLE 6368 / SONIC
1.2Short functional description
The
TLE 6368 G1 / SONIC is a multi voltage power supply system especially designed
for automotive applic ations usi ng a standa rd 12V / 24V batte ry as well as the new 42V
powernet. The device is intended to supply 32 bit micro-controller systems which require
different supply voltage rails such as 5V, 3.3V and 2.6V. The regulators for external
sensors are also provided.
The TLE 6368 G1 / SONIC cascades a Buck converter block with a linear regulator and
tracker block on a single chip to achieve lowest power dissipation thus being able to
power the application even at very high ambient temperatures.
The step-down converter delivers a pre-regulated voltage of 5.5V with a minimum
current capability of 1.5A.
Supplied by this step down converter three low drop linear post-regulators offer 5V, 3.3V,
or 2.6V of output voltages dependi ng on the configuration of the device with current
capabilities of 800mA, 500mA and 350mA.
In addition the inputs of six voltage trackers are connected to the 5.5V bus voltage. Their
outputs follow the main 5V linear regulator (Q_LDO1) with high accuracy and are able to
drive a current of 17mA each. The trackers can be turned on and off individually by a 16
bit serial peripheral interfac e (SPI). Throu gh t his inte rf ace als o the stat us i nform atio n of
each tracker (i.e. short circuit) can be read out.
To monitor the outp ut voltage le vels of each of the linear reg ulators three i ndependent
undervoltage detection circui ts are ava ila ble w hic h can be us ed to impl eme nt the reset
or an early warning function. The supervision of the µC can be managed by the SPItriggered window watchdog.
For energy saving reasons while the motor is turned off, the TLE 6368 G1 / SONIC offers
a stand-by mode, where the qu iescent current does n ot exceed 30µA. In this stand -by
mode just the stand-by regulator remains active.
The TLE 6368 G1 / SONIC is based on Infineon Power technology SPT which allows
bipolar , CMOS and Power DMOS circuitry to be integrated on the same monolithic
circuitry.

Figure 3 Detailed Buck regulator diagram
The 1.5A Buck regulator consists of two internal DMOS power stages including a current
mode regulation scheme to avoid external compensation components plus additional
blocks for low EME and reduced switching loss. Figure 3 indicates also the principle how
Data Sheet, Rev. 1.3282004-10-15
TLE 6368 / SONIC
the gate driver supply is managed by the combination of internal charge pump, external
charge pump and bootstrap capacitor.
2.1.1Current mode control scheme
The regulation loop is located at the left lower corner in the schematic, there you find the
voltage feedback amplifier which gives the actual information of the actual output voltage
level and the current sense ampl ifier for the load current inform ation to form finally the
regulation signal. To avoid subh armo nic osci llations at duty cycles highe r than 5 0% the
slope compensation block is necessary.
The control signal formed out of those three blocks is finally the input of the PWM
regulator for the DMOS gate turn off command, which means this signal determines the
duty cycle. The gate turn on signal is set by the o scillator periodical ly every 3µs which
leads to a Buck converter switching frequency around 330kHz.
With decreasing input voltag e the de vic e ch anges to the so called pulse skipp ing mode
which means basically that some of the oscillator gate turn off signals are ignored. When
the input voltage is still reduced the DMOS is turned on statically (100% duty cycle) and
its gate is supplied by the internal charge pump. Below typic al 4. 5V at the feedback pin
the device is turned off.During normal switching operation the gate driver is supplied by
the bootstrap capacitor.
2.1.2Start-up procedure
To guarantee a device startup even under full load condition at the linear regulator
outputs a special start up procedure is impleme nted. At first the bootstrap capa citor is
charged by the internal charge pump. Afterwards the output capacitor is charged where
the driver supply in tha t case is maintained only by the bootstrap capacitor. Once the
output capacitor of the buck converter is charged the external charge pump is activated
being able to supply the linear regulators and finally the linear regulators are released to
supply the loads.
2.1.3Reduction of electromagnetic emission
In figure 3 it is recognized that two internal DMOS switches are used, a main switch and
an auxiliary switch. The second imp lemented switc h is used to adjust the current slope
of the switching current. The slope adjustment is done by a controlled charge and
discharge of the gate of this DMOS. By choosi ng the external resistor on the SLEW pin
appropriate the current transition time can be adjusted between 20ns and 100ns.
2.1.4Reducing the switching losses
The second purpose of the slope DMOS is to minimise the switching losses. Once being
in freewheeling mode of the buck regulato r the output volta ge level is sufficient to force
the load current to flow, the in put voltage level is not needed in the first mo ment. By a
feedback network consis ting of a resistor and a diode to th e boost pin (connectio n see
Data Sheet, Rev. 1.3292004-10-15
TLE 6368 / SONIC
section 5) the output voltage level is pres ent at the drain of the switch. As soon as the
voltage at the SW pin passes zero volts the handover to the main switch occurs and the
traditional switching behaviour of the Buck switch can be observed.
2.2Linear Voltage Regulators
The Linear regulators offer, depending on the version, voltage rails of 5V, 3.3V and 2.6V
which can be determined by a hardware connection (see table at 2.2.2) for proper power
up procedure. Being supplied by the output of the Buck pre-regulator the power loss
within the three linear regulators is minimized.
All voltage regulators are short circuit protected which means that each regulator
provides a maximum cu rrent according to its current li mit when shorted. Together with
the external charge p ump the NPN pass elemen ts of the regulators allow low dropout
voltage operation. By u sing this structu re the linear regulat ors work stable even with a
minimum of 470nF ceramic capacitors at their output.
Q_LDO1 has 5V nominal output voltage, Q_LDO2 has a hardware programmable
output voltage of 3.3V or2.6V and Q_LDO3 is also programmable to 3.3V or 2.6V (see
section 2.2.2). All th ree regulators are on all the time, i f one regulator is n ot needed a
base load resistor in parallel to the output capacitance for controlled power down is
recommended.
2.2.1Startup Sequence Linear Regulators
When acting as a 32 bi t µC s uppl y the so-called power seque nci ng (the dependency of
the different voltage rails to each other) is important. Within the TLE 6368 G1 / SONIC,
the following Startup-Sequence is defined (see also figure 4):
V

=5V, V
Q_LDO2
≤ V
Q_LDO1
= 2.6V or 3.3V and V
Q_LDO3
= 2.6V or 3.3V
The power sequencing refers to the regulator itself, externally voltages applied at
Q_LDO2 and Q_LDO3 are not pulled down actively by the device if Q_LDO1 is lower
than those outputs.
That means for the power down se quencing if different output capa citors and different
loads at the three outputs of the linear regulators are used the voltages at Q_LDO2 and
Q_LDO3 might be higher than at Q_LDO1 due to slower discharging. To avoid this
behaviour three Schottky diodes have to be connected between the three outputs of the
linear regulators in that way that the cathodes of the diodes are always connected to the
higher nominal rail.

2.3Voltage Trackers
For off board supplies i.e. sensors six voltage trackers Q_T1 to Q_T6 with 17mA output
current capability each are available. The output voltages match Q_LDO1 within
+5 / -15mV. They can be individually turned on and off by the appropriate SPI command
word sent by the microcontroller. A ceramic capacitor with the value of 1µF at the output
of each tracker is sufficient for stable operation without oscillation.
The tracker outputs can be connected in parallel to obtain a higher output current
capability, no matter if on ly two or up to all si x trackers are tied together. For uniform ly
distributed current d ensity in eac h tracker interna l balance res istors at each output are
foreseen internally. By connecting two sets of three trackers in parallel two sensors with
more than 50mA each can be supplied, all six in parallel give more than 100mA.
The tracker outputs can withstand short circuits to GND or battery in a range from -5 to
+60V. A short circuit to GND is detected and indicated individually for each tracker in the
SPI status word. Also a n open load condi tion might be recognised a nd indicated as a
failure condition in the SPI status word. A minimum load current of 2mA is required to
avoid open load failure indica tion. In cas e of connecti ng several tra ckers to a comm on
branch balancing currents can prevent proper operation of the failure indication.
2.4Standby Regulator
The standby regulator is an ultra low power 2.5V linear voltage regulator with 1mA output
current which is on all the time. It is intended to supply the mic r oco ntrol ler in stop mode
and requires then onl y a minimum of quiescent current (<3 0µA) to extend the battery
lifetime.
2.5 Charge Pump
The 1.6 MHz charge pump with the two external capacitors will serve to supply the base
of the NPN linear regulators Q_LDO1 and Q_LDO3 as well as the gate of the Buck
DMOS transistor in 100% duty cycle operation at low battery condition. The charge pump
voltage in the range of 8 to 10V can be measured at pin 22 (CCP) but is not intended to
be used as a supply for additional circuitry.
2.6 Power On Reset
A power on reset is available for eac h linear voltage regu lator output. The reset out put
lines R1, R2 and R3 ar e ac tiv e (lo w) d uring sta rt up a nd turn inactive with a rese t delay
time after Q_LDO1, Q_LDO2 and Q_LDO3 have reached their reset threshold. The
reset outputs are open drain, three pull up resistors of 10kΩ each have to be co nne ct e d
to the I/O rail (e.g. Q_LDO1) of the µC. All three reset outputs can be linked in parallel to
obtain a wire d-OR.
The reset delay time is 8 ms by default and can be set to higher values as 16 ms, 32 ms
or 64 ms by SPI command. At each power up of the device in case the output voltage at
Data Sheet, Rev. 1.32122004-10-15
TLE 6368 / SONIC
Q_LDO1 had decreased below 3.3V (max.), the SPI will reset to the default settings
including the 8ms delay time. If the voltage on Q_LDO1 during sleep or power off mode
was kept above 3.3V the delay time set by the last SPI command is valid.

2.7RAM good flag
A RAM good flag will be set within the SPI status word when the Q_LDO1 voltage drops
below 2.3V. A second one wi ll be set if Q_LDO2 drops belo w typical 1.4V. Both RAM
good flags can be read after power up to determine if a c old or warm start n eeds to be
processed. Both RAM good flags will be reset after each SPI cycle.
2.8ERR
Pin
A hardware error pin indicates any fault conditions on the chip. It should be connected to
an interrupt input of the microcontroller. A low signa l indicates an error condition. The
microcontroller can read the root cause of the error by reading the SPI register.
2.9Window Watchdog
The on board window watchdog for supervision of the µC works in combination with the
SPI. The window watchdog logic is turned off per default and can be activated by one
special bit combination in the SPI command word. When operating, the window
watchdog is triggered when CS is low and Bit WD-Trig in the SPI command word is set
to “1”. The watchdog trigger is recognized with the low to high transition of the CS
signal.
To allow reading the SPI at any time without getting a reset due to misinterpretation the
WD-Trig bit has to be set to “0” to avoid false trigger conditions.

Figure 6 Window watchdog timing definition
Figure 6 shows some guideline s for designing the wa tchdog trigger timing taking the
oscillator deviation of different devices into account. Of importance (w.c.) is the
maximum of the closed window and the minimum of the open window in which the
trigger has to occur.
The length of the OW and CW can be modified by SPI command. If a change of the
window length is desired during the Watchdog function is operating please send the SPI
command with the new tim ing wit h a ’Watchd og tri gger Bit’ D1 5=1.In th is case the next
CW will directly start with the new length.
A minimum time gap of > 1/48 of the actual OW/CW time between a ’Watchdog disable’
and ’Watchdog enable’ SPI-command should be maintained. This allows the internal
Watchdog counters to be resetted. Thus after the enable command t he Watchdog will
start properly with a full CW of the adjusted length.

Figure 7 gives some timing information about the window watchdog. Looking at the
upper signals the perfect triggering of the watchdog is shown. When the 5V linear
regulator Q_LDO1 reaches its reset threshold, the reset delay time has to run off before
Data Sheet, Rev. 1.32152004-10-15

the closed window (CW) starts. Then three valid watchdog triggers are shown, no effect
on the reset line a nd/or error pin is ob served. With the miss ing watchdog trigger sign al
the error signal turns low immediately where the reset is asserted after another delay of
half the closed window time .
Also shown in the figure are two typica l failure modes, one pretrigger an d one missing
signal. In both cases the error s ignal will go low immedia tely the fai lure is detected with
the reset following after the half closed window time.
2.10Overtemperature Protection
At a chip temperature of more than 150° an error and temperature flag is set and can be
read through the SPI. The device is switched off if the device reaches the
overtemperature threshold of 170°C. The overtemperature shutdown has a hysteresis to
avoid thermal pumping.
2.11Power Down Mode
The TLE 6368 G1 / SONIC is starte d by a sta tic high s ignal at the wak e input or a hi gh
pulse with a minim um of 50µs duration at the Wake input (pi n 34). In order to avoid
instabilities of the device voltages applied to the Wake pin (pin 34) have to have a certain
slope, i.e. 1V/3µs. Voltages in the range between the turn on and turn off thresholds for
a few 100µs must be avoided!
By SPI command (“Sleep”-bit, D8, equals zero) all voltage regulators including the
switching regulator except the standby regulator can be turned off completely only if the
wake input is low. In the case the Wake input is permanently connected to battery the
device cannot be turned off by SPI command, it will always turn on again.
For stable “on” operation of the devi ce th e “Sleep ”-b it, D8 has to be set to high at ea ch
SPI cycle!
When powering the device again after power down the status of the SPI controlled
devices (e.g. trackers, watc hdog etc.) depends on th e output voltage on Q_LDO1. D id
the voltage at Q_LDO1 decrease below 3.3V the default status (given in the next section)
is set otherwise the last SPI command defines the status.
2.12 Serial Peripheral Interface
A standard 16 bit SPI is available for control and diagnost ics . It i s c apa ble to op erate in
a daisy chain. It can be written or read by a 16 bit SPI interface as well as by an 8 bit SPI
interface.
The 16-bit control word (write bit assignment, see Figure 8) i s rea d in vi a the dat a input
DI, synchronous to the clock input CLK supp lied by the µC begin ning with the LSB D0.
The diagnosis word appears in the same way synchronously at the data output DO (read
bit assignment, see figure 9), so with the first bit shifted on the DI line the first bit appears
on the DO line.

TLE 6368 / SONIC
The transmission cycle be gins when the TLE 636 8 G1 / SONIC is sel ected by the “not
chip select” input CS
been read in at the DI line becomes the n ew control word. The DO output switch es to
tristate status at this point, thereby releasing the DO bus circuit for other uses. For details
of the SPI timing please refer to Figures 10 to 13.
The SPI will be reset to d efault valu es given i n the follow ing table “write bit me aning” if
the RAM good flag of Q_LDO1 indic ates a cold start (lower output voltage th an 3.3V).
The reset will be active as long as the power on reset is present so during the reset delay
time at power up no SPI commands are accepted.
The register content of the SPI - including watchdog timings and reset delay timings - is
maintained if the RAM good flag of Q_LDO1 indicates a warm start (i.e. Q_LDO1 did not
decrease below 3.3V).
