ED8101
Functional Description
Overview
The ED8101 is configurable true-digital single-
phase PW M controller for high-current, non-isolated
DC/DC supplies supporting switching frequencies
up to 1 MHz. It is optimally configured for use with
the Altera Power Solutions 40A Power Train
ET4040. The ED8101 offers a PMBusTM
configurable digit al power control loop incorporating
output voltage sensing, average inductor current
sensing, and extensive fault monitoring and
handling features. Several different functional units
are integrated in the device. A dedicated digital
control loop is used to provide fast loop response
and optimal output voltage regulation. This includes
output voltage sensing, average inductor current
sensing, a digital control law, and a digital pulse-
width modulator (DPWM). In parallel, a dedicated
error handler allows fast and flexible detection of
error signals and their appropriate handling. A
housekeeping analog-to-digital converter (HKADC)
ensures the reliable and efficient measurement of
environmental signals, such as input voltage and
temperature.
An application-specific, low-energy integrated
microcontroller is used to control the overall
system. It manages configuration of the various
logic units and handles the PMBusTM
communication protocol. A PMBusTM/SMBus/I2CTM
interface is incor porated to connect with the outside
world; supported by control and power-good
signals.
A high-reliability, high-temperature one-time
programmable memory (OTP) is used to store
configuration parameters. All required bias and
reference voltages are internally derived from the
external supply voltage.
Power Supply Circuitry, Reference
Decoupling, and Grounding
The ED8101 incorporates several internal power
regulators in order to derive all required supply and
bias voltages from a singl e external supply voltage.
This supply voltage can be either 5V or 3.3V
depending on whether the internal 3.3V regulator
should be used. If the internal 3.3V regulator is not
used, 3.3V must be supplied to the 3.3V and 5V
supply pins. Decoupling capacitors are required at
the VDD33, VDD18, and AVDD18 pins (1.0µF
minimum; 4.7µF recommended). If the 5.0V supply
voltage is used, i.e., the internal 3.3V regulator is
used, a small load current can be drawn from the
VDD33 pin. This can be used to supply pull-up
resistors, for example.
The reference voltages required for the analog-to-
digital converters are generated within the ED8101.
External decoupling must be provided between the
VREFP and ADCVREF pins. Therefore, a 4.7µF
capacitor is required at the VREFP pin, and a
100nF capacitor is required at the ADCVREF pin.
The two pins should be connected with
approximately 50 resistance in order to provide
sufficient decoupling between the pins.
Three different ground connections (the pad, AGND
pin, and GND pin) are available on the outside of
the package. These should be connected together
to a single ground tie. A differentiation between
analog and digital ground is not required.
Reset/Start-up Behavior
The ED8101 employs an internal power-on-reset
(POR) circuit to ensure proper start up and shut
down with a changing supply voltage. Once the
supply voltage increases above the POR threshold
voltage, the ED8101 begins the internal start-up
process. Upon its completion, the device is ready
for operation.
Digita l P ow er Control
Overview
The digital power control loop consists of the
integral parts r equired for the contr ol functionality of
the ED8101. A hig h-speed analog front-end is used
to digitize the output voltage. A digital control core
uses the acquired information to provide duty-cycle
information to the PWM that controls the drive
signals to the power stage.
Switching Frequency
The ED8101 supports the switching frequencies
listed in Table 1.
Table 1: Supported Switching Frequencies
1000 kHz 666.6 kHz
888 kHz 571.4 kHz
800 kHz 500.0 kHz
Output Voltage Feedback
The voltage feedback signal is sampled with a high-
speed analog front-end. The feedback voltage is
www.altera.com/enpirion, Page 8
10030 May 30, 2014 Rev A
ED8101
differentially measured and subtracted from the
voltage reference provided by a ref erence digital-to-
analog converter (DAC) using an error amplifier. A
flash ADC is then used to convert the voltage into
its digital equivalent. This is followed by internal
digital filtering to improve the system’s noise
rejection.
Although the reference DAC generates a voltage
up to 1.44V, keeping the voltage on the feedback
pin (VFBP) at approximately 1.20V is
recommended to guarantee sufficient headroom. If
a larger output voltage is required, an external
feedback divider is required.
Digital Compens ator
The sampled output voltage is processed by a
digital control loop in order to modulate the DPWM
output signals controlling the power stage. This
digital control loop works as a voltage-mode
controller using PID-type compensation. The basic
structure of the controller is shown in Figure 4. The
controller features two parallel compensators,
steady-state operation, and fast transient operat ion.
The ED8101 implements fast, reliable switching
between the different compensation modes in order
to ensure good transient performance and quiet
steady state. This has been utilized to tune the
compensators individually for the respective needs;
i.e. quiet steady-state and fast transient
performance.
Three different techniques are used to improve
transient performance further:
Phase-lag reducing sampling technology is
used to acquire fast, accurate, and
continuous information about the output
voltage so that the device can react quickly
to any change in output voltage.
The technique to drive the DPWM
asynchronously during load transients,
allows limiting the maximum deviation of the
output voltage and recharging the output
capacitors faster.
A nonlinear gain adjustment is used during
large load transients to boost the loop gain
and reduce the settling time.
Power Sequencing and the CONTROL Pin
The ED8101 supports power-sequencing features
such as programmable ramp up/down and delays.
The typical sequence of events is shown in Figure
5. The CONTROL pin is configured for active high
operation.
The ED8101 features a power good (PGOOD)
output, which can be used to indicate the state of
the power rail. If the output voltage level is above
the power good ON threshold, the pin is set to
active, indicating a stable out put voltage on the rail.
Different levels for turn-on and turn-off are used to
enable the use of a hysteresis if desired. Note that
the power good thresholds are stored in the device
as factors relative to the nominal output voltage.
Hence, using the strapping options to change the
output voltage level also changes the PGOOD
thresholds.
Pre-biased Start-up and Soft-Off
Dedicated pre-biased start-up logic ensures proper
start-up of the power converter when the output
capacitors are pre-charged to a non-zero output
voltage. Closed-loop stability is ensured during this
phase.
ED8101 also supports pre-biased off, i.e. the output
voltage is not ramped down to zero and instead
remains at a predefined level (VOFF_nom). This value
can be configured via the ED81xx Power Designer.
After receiving the shutdown command, via
PMBusTM or the CONTROL pin, the ED8101 will
execute the soft-off sequence. The soft-off
sequence will ramp down the output voltage to the
predefined value. Once the value is reached, the
PWM will be turned off in order to put the output
driver into tri-state mode.
Current Sensing
The ED8101 offers cycle-by-cycle average current
sensing with configurable over-curr ent protection. A
dedicated ADC is used to provide fast and accurate
current information over the switching period. The
acquired information is compared with the
configurable current thresholds to report warning
and error levels to the user. DCR current sensing
across the inductor and dedicated shunt resistors
are supported. This part works the best with
ET4040 which provides a voltage based replica of
the dynamic inductor current waveform (ISEN).
Additionally, this ISEN signal is internally
temperature compensated, allowing the ISEN
indication to correctly track output current even as
internal junction temperature changes due to self-
heating and due to changes in ambient
temperature. Figure 6 shows the current sensing
circuit with ET4040.
End-of-line calibration is supported so that the
ED8101 can achieve improved accuracy over the
full out put current range. The full calibration method
is detailed in the appropriate application note.

Temperature Measurement
The ED8101 f eatures two independent temperature
measurement units. The internal temperature
sensing measures the temperature inside the IC;
the external temperature sensing measures the
voltage on the TEMP pin, wh ich is com ing from the
TSEN temperature monitoring signal of Altera
power train ET4040. This signal provides a ther mal
monitor that indicates the internal junction
temperature of the ET4040. A temperature
calibration is highly recommended.
Fault Monitoring and Response
Generation
The ED8101 monitors various signals for possible
fault conditions during operation, it can respond to
events generated by these signals. A wide range of
options is configurable via the ED81xx Power
Designer. Typical monitoring within the ED8101 is a
three step process. First, an event is generated by
a configurable set of thresholds. This event is then
digitally filtered before the ED8101 reacts with a
response. For most monitored signals, a warning
and a fault threshold can be configured. A warning
typically sets a status flag, but does not trigger a
response, whereas a fault also generates a
response. The fault responses of the ED8101
controller are given in Table 2.
Each warning and fault event can be individually
enabled. Also the assertion of the SMBALERT
signal can be configured to individual needs. The

ED8101
controller fault handling will infinitely try to restart
the converter on some of the fault conditions. In
analog controllers, this infinite re-try feature is also
known as “hiccup mode.”
Output Over/Under Voltage
To prevent damage to the load, the ED8101 utilizes
an output over-voltage protection circuit. The
voltage at VFBP is continuously compared with a
configurable threshold using a high-speed analog
comparator. If the voltage exceeds the configured
threshold, the fault response is generated and the
PW M output is set to low. The voltage fault level is
generated by a 6-bit DAC with a reference voltage
of 1.60V resulting in 25mV resolution.
The ED8101 also monitors the output voltage with
a lower threshold. If the output voltage falls below
the under-voltage fault level, a fault event is
generated and the PWM output is set to tri-state
condition.

Output Under-Voltage Infinity High-Z
Input Over-Voltage Infinity High-Z
Input Under-Voltage Infinity High-Z
Over-Current Infinity High-Z
External Over-Temperature Infinity Soft-off
Internal Over-Temperature Infinity Soft-off
Output Current Protection
The ED8101 continuously monitors the average
inductor current and utilizes this information to
protect the power supply against excessive output
current.
Over-Temperature Protection
The ED8101 monitors internal and external
temperature. For each, a warning and a fault level
can be configured and an appropriate response can
be enabled. For the temperature fault conditions a
soft-off sequence is started. The soft-off sequence
will ramp down the output voltage to 0V and set the
PWM output in a tri-state condition.
Configur a t ion and Engi nee ring Mode
The ED8101 incorporates two different sets of
configuration parameters. The first set of
configuration parameters can be configured during
design time and cannot be changed during run-
time. The second set of configuration parameters
can be configured during design time, but can also
be reconfigured during run-time using the
appropriate PMBusTM command. Note that these
reconfigured values not stored in the OTP memory,
so they are lost during power cycling the device.
In order t o evaluate the device and its configur ation
on the bench, a special engineering mode is
supported by the device and the ED81xx Power
Designer. In this mode, the device can be
reconfigured multiple-times without writing the
configuration into the OTP. During this “engineering
mode”, the device starts up after power-on reset in
an unfigured state or a configured state if the OTP
has already been configured. The ED81xx Power
Designer then provides the configuration to the
ED8101 enabling full operation without actually
configuring the OTP. The user can use this mode to
evaluate the configuration on the bench. However,
the configuration will be lost upon power-on-reset.
After the user has determined the final
configuration options, a configuration file or OTP
image can be created that is then written into the
ED8101. This can be either on the bench using the
ED81xx Power Designer or in end-of-line testing
during mass production.

PMBusTM Functionality
Introduction
The ED8101 supports the PMBusTM protocol to enable the use of configuration, monitoring and fault
management during run-time.
The PMBusTM host controller is connected to the ED8101 via the PMBusTM pins. A dedicated SMBALERT pin
is provided to notify the host that new status information is present.
The ED8101 supports packet error correction (PEC) according to the PMB usTM specification.

Address Selection via External Resistors
PMBus™ uses a 7-bit device address to identify different devices connected to the bus. This address can
be selected via external resistors connected to the ADDRx pins.
The resistor values are sensed using the internal ADC during the initialization phase and the appropriate
PMBus™ address is selected. Note that the respective circuitry is only active during the initialization phase;
hence no DC voltage can be measured at the pins. The supported PMBus™ addresses and the values of
the respective required resistors are listed in Table 4.

ED8101
Configuration
Two different sets of configuration parameters are supported by the ED8101. The first set of parameters
can only be configured during the configuration phase of the ED8101. These values are written into the
OTP memory and cannot be changed using PMBus™ commands during run-time. A second set of
parameters can also be configured also during run-time using the appropriate PMBus™ commands. The
two groups are classified in the PMBus™ c onf iguration t able (Table 6).
The ED8101 supports the LINEAR data format according to the PMBus™ specification. Note that in
accordance with the PMBus™ specification, all commands related to the output voltage are subject to the
VOUT_MODE settings. Note that VOUT_MODE is read-only for the ED8101.

Monitoring
The ED8101 has a dedicated set of PMBus™ registers to enable advanced power management
using
extensive monitoring features. Different warning and error flags can be read by the PMBus™
master to ensure
proper operation of the power converter or monitor the converters over its life time.

Detailed Description of the Supported PMBus Commands
OPERATION
The OPERATION command is used to turn the unit on and off in conjunction with the input from the
CONTROL
pin. The unit stays in the commanded operating mode until a subsequent OPERATION
command or change in
the state of the CONTROL pin instructs the device to change to another mode.
The supported operation modes
are listed in Table 8.

External Component Selection
Output Voltage Feedback Components
The ED8101 supports direct output voltage feedback without external components up to an output voltage of
1.4 V. However, adding a high-frequency low-pass filter in the sense path is highly recommended to remove
high- frequency disturbances from the sense signals. Placing these components as close as possible to the
ED8101 is recommended. For larger output voltages, a feedback divider is required. Using resistors with small
tolerances is recommended to guarantee good output voltage accuracy. Table 9 lists the required component
values as a function of the maximum supportable output voltage. It is mandatory that the selected resistors
values are configured in the Altera ED81xx Power Designer so that they can be taken into account for the
configuration of the device.

Input Voltage Sensing
The ED8101 supports input voltage sensing for protection and monitoring. Therefore a voltage divider between
the input voltage and the VIN pin is required. The recommended resistors values for different input voltage
ranges can be found in Table 10. For different nominal input voltages, the respective component values with
the maximum supported input voltage are listed. To ensure proper operation and high accuracy, a capacitor
must not be connected to the VIN pin. Digital filtering is provided inside the ICs.
