ISLVERSALDEMO2Z Demonstration Board Manual
Note: The dissipative elements in the power stage (GaN FETs and inductor) see a higher temperature rise due to
the increased load current.
1. Operation of 140A on the ISLVERSALDEMO2Z is recommended only for low duty cycle transient durations. If
the customer requires to evaluate 140A continuous operation, Renesas recommends using a separate PCB
design to accommodate more GaN FETs in parallel and increase the number of PCB layers to handle the extra
current.
2. Decrease the Rsense resistor from 2mΩdown to 1.43mΩso that a 50mV full-scale input to the
ISENSE+/ISENSE- pins of the ISL73847SEH is developed with 35A RMS of load current. The Susumu
resistors have a 3mΩavailable, so two in parallel can be used for 1.5mΩ.
3. Reduce the inductor value. The inductor used is a Coilcraft SLR1070 120nH. There is no smaller inductance
in this family. However, the Coilcraft SLC1049 offers a 75nH inductor with adequate saturation and RMS current
ratings that can be substituted. The SLC1049 recommended PCB land pattern is slightly different but can be
reasonably mounted onto the PCB board.
4. Use the additional DNP placeholders for tantalum capacitors on the 0.8V rail to add the needed capacitance,
add 8×220µF.
5. Change the slope compensation, error amp compensation, and droop compensation per the loop design
calculator. At minimum, change C_comp from 4.7nF to 3.9nF.
6. Adjust the timing circuit on ISL71041MRTZ U107 from ~1MHz to 875kHz to comply with the maximum inductor
value recommended in the loop design calculator. Change C152 from 10pF to 22pF and R9 from 11kΩto
30.9kΩ.
7. It is not necessary to change the single ISL70020SEH GaN FET on the high side and two ISL70020SEH GaN
FET on the low side per phase. The high side operates at ~16% duty cycle, and the increase in per-phase
current does not necessitate changing the FETs for evaluating 140A transient load steps.
1.6 Power Sequence and Monitoring
The two ISL70321SEH quad rail sequencers handle the power sequencing and monitor all supply rails. When a
sequence up or down is initiated, the supply rails are enabled or disabled in a sequence, shown in Figure 11.
U603, the second sequencer’s DONE pin, signifies the completion of the entire power-up sequence. As described
in the AMD Xilinx Power Estimator (XPE) design tool for the Versal ACAP, the POR_B signal for the ACAP must
be asserted low during the power-up of the PMC domains. After the PMC domains have powered up, the POR_B
signal must be asserted high to complete the Power On Reset (POR). Therefore the DONE signal of the second
sequencer can be used for the POR_B of the Versal ACAP. Access to the DONE signal is provided on TP8.
