1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The W83320G is a high-speed, N-Channel synchronous buck regulator controller optimized for wide
reference input range. The W83320G employs adjustable frequency ranging from 100 KHz to 400
KHz voltage-mode PWM control architecture. The regulator is biased from a 5V rail and the power for
the high-side MOSFET can be supplied by a separate 12V rail or supplied from the internal charge
pump.
A Current limit protection is implemented by monitoring the voltage drop across the switch ON
resistance of the low-side MOSFET. This method can eliminate the requirement of extra current
sensing resistor and avoids false trigger of OC protection when VIN varies efficiently. The adaptive
non-overlapping MOSFET gate drivers help avoid potential shoot-through problems while maintaining
high efficiency. All these together with Power-good flag, enable and soft start features make power
sequencing easy.

5. PIN DESCRIPTION
PIN NAME FUNCTION
1 LGATE Low-Side N-Channel MOSFET Gate Drive Pin. This pin is monitored by the
adaptive shoot-through protection circuitry to determine when the low-side
MOSFET turned off.
2 VDD +5V supply rail for the lower gate driver and control logic circuit.
3 VDDA VDDA: +5V supply rail for the chip.
4 PWROK Power OK. Open drain output. This pin will be opened in following conditions:
1. No over-current detected; 2. VREF_IN >0.6V; 3. FB > 75% of VREF_IN; 4. SS
>3V.
5 GNDA Ground for analog circuit. Connect it to system ground.
6 SS Soft Start Pin. A capacitor should be attached in this pin to ground for soft start
output clamping. This capacitor, along with an internal 12uA current source,
set the output clamp ramp up speed.
7 COMP Internal Error Amplifier Output Pin. This pin is available for compensation of
the control loop.
8 FB Inverting Input of the Error Amplifier. This pin is available for compensation of
the control loop.
9 VREF
Non-inverting Input of the Error Amplifier. Voltage on this pin provides
reference input to the PWM control loop.
When the VREF_IN voltage is less than 0.27V, the PWM is shut-down and the
UGATE and LGAET are driven low. Due to its wide input range (0 ~ 3.6V), the
VREF_IN voltage can be raised slowly to perform the input clamp function.
Besides, a special function is implemented in this IC to inform the reference
provider of over current alarm. Each time as the OC occurs, VREF_IN will be
short to GND (through 170 ohms) for about 5~10uS. The reference provider
can be aware of the OC condition by detecting this pulse.
10 BG_REF Internal Band gap Reference Voltage Output.
11 BOOT Supply rail for the high-side MOSFET driver. A bootstrap circuit may be used
to create a BOOT voltage or a separate 12V supply can be used.
12 UGATE High-Side N-Channel MOSFET Gate Drive Pin. This pin is also monitored by
the adaptive shoot through protection circuitry to determine when the high-side
MOSFET has turned off.
13 GND Ground for signal level circuit. Connect it to system ground.
14 ISEN
Current limit threshold setting. Connect a resistor (ROCSET) between this pin
and the drain of the low-side MOSFET. An internal 72uA current source will
flow through RISEN and cause a fixed voltage drop on it while the low-side
MOSFET is turned on. In the mean while, the W83320G compares the voltage
drop with the voltage across the low-side MOSFET and determines whether
the current limit has been reached. The equation for over-current limit is:
ILIM = (72uA * RISEN)/RDSON

Soft-Start
When VDDA and VDD ramp over 4.3V and the voltage at pin VREF ramps over 0.27V; the soft start
capacitor begins to charge through an internal 12uA (IREF/2) current source. The error amplifier (and
the PWM duty) is both output clamped by the voltage on soft-start pin VSS and input clamped by the
voltage on VREF. There are two ways to soft start the power that’s following the rising of the slower one
between VSS or VREF; during soft-start, PWOK is forced to low and the internal Over-Current Protection
is triggered to work. 0.4V to 1.9V of VSS is roughly mapping to 0 to 100% pulse-width. Smaller than
0.27V on VREF will disable the PWM controller and discharge CSS.
MOSFET Gate Drivers
The power for the high-side driver is flowing through the BOOT pin. This voltage can be supplied by a
separate, higher voltage source, or supplied from a local charge pump structure or combination of the
two.
Since the voltage of the low-side MOSFET gate and the high-side MOSFET gate are being monitored
to determine the state of the MOSFET, it should be taken carefully to add external components
between the gate drivers and their respective MOSFET gates. Doing so may interfere with the shoot-
through protection.
Current Limit
Current limit is implemented by sensing the voltage across the low-side MOSFET while it is ON. This
method enhances the converter's efficiency and reduces total cost by eliminating a current sensing
resistor.
While low-side MOSFET is turned on, a constant current of 72uA (IREF X 3) is forced through ROCSET
which is an external resistor connected between phase and ISEN, causing a fixed voltage drop. This
fixed voltage is compared against VDS and if the latter is higher, the chip enters current limit mode. In
the current limit mode both the high-side and low-side MOSFETS are turned off and the soft start
capacitor CSS will be discharged immediately. The VREF is shorted to GND for 5~10uS to indicate the
over current condition. After a 5mS delay, a soft-start cycle is initiated. If the cause of the over-current
is still present after the delay interval, the current limit would be triggered again. The shut down - delay
- soft start cycle will be repeated indefinitely until the over-current event been removed.
Input Tracking
When the VREF voltage is less than 0.3V, the PWM is shut-down and the UGATE and LGATE are
driven low. Due to its wide input range (0 ~ 3.6V), this chip is suitable for reference input tracking
application. But note that the chip will be shut-down when VREF <0.27V, a proper setting of CSS is
needed to clamp the output at initiation of start up and avoid output voltage step-up (and so a large
inrush current).
IREF and PWM Clock
The Internal reference current (IREF) is determined by the resistor between pin BG_REF pin and GND
(RSET) according to the following equation:
IREF = 1.19V/ RSET
The nominal 200 kHz PWM clock can be adjusted ranging form 100 kHz to 400 kHz by changing IREF
according to the following equation:
Freq = 200 KHz * IREF / 24uA;
