Applications
Current Sharing
Si9143 designed permit true load current sharing between multiple paralleled voltage-mode controllers. Traditional voltage-mode controllers support load sharing all---the controller with highest output voltage will attempt provide load current. Even current-mode controllers properly share unless their error amps tied together. Si9143 concept current sharing (Pat. Pend.) that works forcing duty cycles multiple controllers identical. This accomplished tieing together SYNCH pins controllers. SYNCH pins force each controller start their duty cycle same time, which that they same frequency phase; controller with highest frequency controls others. pins force each controller finish their duty cycle same time, causing them have exactly equal duty cycles; controller with smallest duty cycle controls others. current that each converter delivers will thus total current, there total converters parallel. Limitations this scheme dependent primarily matching resistances converter: mismatch resistance results converter delivering more current than another. However, this effect minor practical converter designs, typical current sharing expected within 10%. same power source deliver power same output (see Figure typical reason such arrangement limitation much power single converter able deliver. limitations often thermal, arise example from finite on-resistance available MOSFETs, causing them self-heat. More power cannot then derived from single converter, would result thermal runaway devices.
Although Si9143 specifically designed redundancy, still usefully used some such situations. Redundancy refers power system design which failure single converter does interfere with continuous delivery power load, current being sourced from other paralleled converters. Paralleled converters thus necessary, sufficient, redundant system: redundant system must also have some preventing failed converter from affecting other converters output power bus.
Paralleling Redundancy
Si9143 specifically designed paralleling converters, meaning that multiple converters from Siliconix S-55362-Rev. 03-Nov-97
redundant power system utilizing Si9143, isolation shorted converters accomplished orring diodes (see Figure example, output capacitor low-side MOSFET supplies failed short, diode prevents other converters from sourcing current into thus output power remains converter fails having output high, example having high-side MOSFET fail shorted, VDRIVE goes high, firing that blows input fuse, disconnecting power from failed MOSFET.

Applications
Orring Diodes Remote Sensing
typical paralleled converter application, outputs multiple Si9143 converters simply attached together. Since converters have true current sharing, orring diodes unnecessary. This makes possible remote sensing: feedback node output voltage converters right load, eliminating voltage droop between converter output load. redundant system, orring diodes necessary isolate failed converters. Voltage feedback must done inside diode, that each controller determine converter causing overvoltage condition. Although there will some degradation regulation forward voltage diode temperature dependence, such degradation minimized using high performance Schottky, such Motorola MBRB2515L. This type part extremely minimizing power loss, very little variation with current temperature. Once on-state resistance MOSFET known, selected desired current limit. caution order: since MOSFET will normally quite warm, resistance used equation should maximum resistance elevated temperatures, typical resistance 25_C. designer should also leave adequate margin above normal output current, both account tolerances noise well permit initial high currents while charging output capacitors.
Boost Diode
application circuit shows 1N4148 diode boost circuit. This provides low-cost component this application. However, advantageous some circuits Schottky diode instead. difference that Schottky less forward drop than regular rectifier, this turn means somewhat greater gate drive voltage external high-side MOSFET. MOSFETs with high gate threshold and/or transconductance, additional gate drive prove very beneficial terms heating MOSFET, turn efficiency converter. 30-V Schottky works well this application.
Driving
Si9143 provides separate driver driving gate event output overvoltage redundant system. driver source which sufficient drive sensitive gate SCR. normal used, necessary buffer driver, which done shown Figure
Grounding
Si9143 provided with both analog power ground pins (AGND PGND, respectively). Because high gate drive currents Si9143 source, essential that these grounds separated. PGND should attached source external low-side MOSFET; AGND should attached small-signal components circuit, such timing resistor feedback resistor. Each these grounds should back independently input line capacitors, avoid ground loops.
Setting Current Limit
