Keep Your Factory Automation Humming! By: Peter Stonard, Technical Marketing Manager, NXP Semiconductors
How to Achieve ‘Zero’ Stand-By Power Consumption in an Offline AC/DC Converter By: Giacomo Mercadante, Mirko Sciortino and Vittorio Giammello, STMicroelectronics
Regardless of the application or size, all industrial systems that incorporate electronic controls or monitoring face a similar problem – how do signals flow between sections, under harsh factory conditions? One established solution is also the most simple: a two-wire slow speed digital bus, called I2C.
Regulations which are in place today, or which are set to come into force in the near future, are forcing manufacturers of electronic equipment to reduce stand-by power consumption in devices sold in almost every developed region of the world. Many kinds of appliances sit in an idle state most of the time. Today, they normally waste energy simply because the user doesn't turn off the mechanical switch, leaving the connection with the mains power line open.
Perhaps the heart of your system is a metal enclosure, rugged, and ready for the factory floor? Or, the pieces of your system are spread out, and interconnected with electrical cables? Perhaps you need to know about the real world, with limit switches or temp sensors? Or, a human operator is reading your data on displays, and pressing buttons manually. In all of these cases the major components must be interconnected in a reliable and simple way, to keep down costs and improve reliability. The I2C bus, and the vast array of available direct connect I2C bus components, is a sure solution to your interconnect needs. Although the I2C bus has been around for a long time (back to the 1980s), it remains a popular answer to today’s slow speed (up to 1MHz) digital data interconnections, and uses only two wires (clock and data). There are LCD and LED controllers, temp sensors, and GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output to read many single switches or LEDs), plus when the bus must go further than the originally intended single or small cluster of PCBs there are bus buffers to boost the signal. An important hurdle in system design, which is often built around a specific core (CPU, MPU), is the fear of running out of IO ‘pins’ or channels. GPIO is a handy solution, offering the designer many new pins by extending the existing I2C bus with one or more GPIO devices. Better yet, the latest offering of GPIOs operate directly from low voltage IO pins on today’s CPUs and MPUs. An often overlooked but important feature of industrial systems is time keeping, important because as data moves around, the timestamp has to remain valid and accurate. With an accurate and stable Real-Time Clock (RTC) that consumes little power, uses minimal board space and has a local battery backup, savvy designers will save the day in the event of utility power loss.
Over the life of the I2C specification, many electronic components have been introduced with much lower supply and signal voltage requirements; in particular, more powerful CPUs and MCUs operate from one to two volts instead of the five volts in vogue when I2C was invented. The NXP I2C catalog includes many voltage level translators to bridge these disparate needs. For those harsh industrial systems there is something new, a more robust interconnection using the same protocol combined with the known reliable addition of differential signaling – called dI2C. Take a look at PCA9614, the easy way to upgrade I2C in an electrically noisy application. We’ve refreshed some of the first components designed for I2C connections, such as the ubiquitous LM75 temp sensor, which is replaced by the lower cost and better accuracy PCT2075.
Now, however, there is a solution which solves this problem without having to change the behavior of the user: the Zero Power mode in the VIPer0P, an offline AC/DC converter from STMicroelectronics. Its clever on/off management enables extremely low input power consumption even when appliances are connected to the mains in an idle state. In fact, as soon as the equipment completes its working cycle, it can be automatically turned off and immediately switched on again only when required. The control of the Zero Power mode is automatic with a microcontroller, or manual using a tactile low voltage button or remote-control system. In fact, thanks to the VIPer0P’s Zero Power mode, mechanical switches can be eliminated, saving bill of materials cost. A simplified block diagram of the VIPer0P converter is shown in Figure 1. It consists of an 800V MOSFET with on-resistance rated at 20Ω, and a fixed frequency current mode PWM controller with overcurrent protection. It operates at a jittered fixed frequency, reducing EMI filtering requirements.

Two different part numbers are available: the ‘L’ version is optimized for a 60kHz switching frequency, and the ‘H’ version for 120kHz. The user can choose the frequency which best balances efficiency and transformer size. The VIPer0P is also equipped with a light load management scheme which ensures it achieves good efficiency even when supplying a load as small as a few milliamps. In the steady state, the IC supports either self-supply or an external supply. Since it has a wide input voltage range of 5V to 30V, it can operate from an

Zero Power Mode for Stand-By Operation A key feature of the VIPer0P IC is its Zero Power mode, an idle state in which the device is totally shut down, the output voltage is zero, and the residual power consumption from the mains is kept below 4mW at 230V AC (see Table 1). All the IC’s functional blocks are turned off except those needed to exit the mode. Microcontroller management of the operation of the Zero Power mode is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2: The operation of Zero Power mode may be managed by a microcontroller
An evaluation kit, the STEVAL-ISA174V1, shows that a power supply with a built-in VIPer0P easily meets the demand of energy regulations such as the European Union’s Code of Conduct for the efficiency of external power supplies, and the IEC 62301 standard for zero power consumption in stand-by mode. Moreover, the evaluation kit demonstrates pre-compliance with IEC standards for EMC, EMI, surge current, burst-mode current, and in-application ESD. The evaluation board implements a non-isolated flyback topology, delivering about 7W across a dual output: 800mA on the -5V output, 400mA on the +7V output. It uses the VIPer0P L version. Values for the light-load and no-load power consumption of the equivalent single output 12V/6.8W converter are shown in Table 1. Its active mode efficiency, which is defined as the average of the efficiencies measured at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of maximum load, is 81.6% at a nominal 115V AC input voltage, and 81.5% at 230V AC. This means that the single output equivalent converter complies with the EU Code of Conduct and with US Department of Energy standards.

Figure 4: Simplified IGBT model
In Figure 3, just as in the case of the MOSFET model above, there are two parasitic capacitances that substantially affect IGBT performance. Here, they are Ccg and Cge, respectively. Now, unlike the MOSFET where the conductive path can be modeled by a resistor, here the conductive path is a PNP structure that transitions from a high impedance in the OFF state to a saturation voltage Vce(sat) in the ON state.
Critical MOSFET and IGBT Performance Parameters While good MOSFET and IGBT datasheets can have well over 25 electrical parameters, here we will limit our discussion to the most critical parameters that must be considered for nearly every application. Where possible, we will compare and contrast the MOSFET and IGBT parameters “in tandem”. 1. MOSFET Vds & IGBT Vce(max): For the MOSFET, the Vds is the maximum voltage between the drain (+) and the source (-) that the device is rated to withstand in the OFF state. Vce(max) is the analogous spec for the IGBT. There is some temperature dependency here, so care must be taken to account for the thermal effects of transients. Units are in volts measured across the drain source or collector emitter terminals. 2. MOSFET RDS(ON) & IGBT Vce(sat) : For the MOSFET, RDS(ON) is the Drain-to-Source ON State resistance. Units are in ohms measured across the drain - source terminals. This parameter has a POSITIVE temperature coefficient which allows MOSFETs to load share very easily when connected in parallel. For the IGBT, Vce(sat) is the saturation voltage when the device is in the ON state. Units are in volts measured across the collector emitter terminals. Vce(sat) has a NEGATIVE temperature coefficient which means it is hard to get IGBTs to load share in parallel configurations. This also makes them subject to thermal runway. However, Vce(sat) does NOT increase substantially for increasing current, which is one of the IGBTs main performance advantages over MOSFETS/IGBTs.
Figure 5: MOSFET/IGBT driver circuit
A MOSFET/IGBT drive circuit is often “asymmetric” in that it presents very different impedances in the ON mode vs. the OFF mode. That is, when PWM is high, current is driven through R1 to turn on the MOSFET/IGBT. To turn it OFF, PWM goes low and current is pulled through R2. R1 is usually substantially greater than R2 since the ON time is often “throttled back” to control EMI while there is a need to hold the gate low against the Miller Capacitance effect.
4. I _ave and I_Pulse: These are the drain/collector average and pulse currents, respectively, that the power device can sustain in the ON state under a set of defined conditions including gate drive voltage, case temperature and test current duty cycle. Units are in amps. This parameter is limited by junction temperature and, subsequently, the thermal impedance and RDS(ON) /Vce(sat) of the device. 5. Maximum Power: This is a measure of the maximum power the device can dissipate
1.800.FUTURE.1 • www.FutureElectronics.com
The most common cause of power MOSFET and IGBT device failure is running the die at an excessive temperature. To avoid this, it is important to consider two critical design concepts. These are Safe Operating Area (SOA) and Transient Thermal Response.
Transient Thermal Response is the effect that transients load currents have on the die temperature in raising it from its “DC” value towards, but hopefully not beyond, it’s safe thermal limiting value. Here, the relevant graph has a family of curves where each curve corresponds to pulse duration. See Figure 7. Ztr: (K/Watt)

In Figure 6, the power device Safe Operating Area for a range of conditions is shown. There are three distinct regions. At the far right, the device is limited by its ability to dissipate the average power + the pulse power. In the middle region, the device is strictly current limited. In the region on the left, the device is not thermally limited, but rather is functionally limited by voltages induced by excessive currents, which in turn, would cause operational problems.

As MOSFET and IGBT devices continue to evolve, their relative advantages with respect to one another will shift over time. However, due to their respective strengths and weaknesses, some generalities are likely to apply for some time to come. In Figure 9, we see that there are four regions where one device or the other is fairly dominant. While the edges of these regions are always somewhat in flux, their broad outlines are not. For the region in the middle that is bounded by the other for regions, specific priorities of the application at hand are what tips selection one way or the other. Maximum Voltage Vds or Vce

To use a “Transient Thermal Response” graph, follow these simple steps. First, calculate the peak power through the power device during the transient by multiplying the peak current and voltage values. Then determine the pulse duration and duty cycle. (tp, T & “§”, respectively). Next, locate the t p of your test pulse on the X-Axis and follow a vertical line from that point up to the appropriate “§” curve on the chart. From that intersection point, follow a horizontal line over to the vertical “Y” axis to determine the “Ztr” for the particular device under your given transient conditions. Now, multiply the Peak Power value of the transient that you calculated earlier by the “Ztr” value you just found from the graph. The product of these two terms is the value, in Kelvins or “°C” of the thermal transient induced in the die by the load transient. Finally, to get the resulting Peak Die Temperature, this transient temperature value must be added to the pre-transient “DC” value.

Safe Operating Area can be thought of as the range or set of voltage and current values across which a given device under given conditions can be expected to operate without failure. Often, a family of curves will be presented together with a range of load current pulse conditions represented. See Figure 6.

Again, at the simplest level, an IGBT can be thought of as a MOSFET driving a PNP Bipolar transistor. Here, the MOSFET gate acts to pull current from the base of the PNP transistor thereby turning it ON. Thus, the IGBT is something of a voltage dependent current source. As in the case of the MOSFET model above, the MOSFET inside the IGBT has similar input capacitances that affect performance.

This region is limited by RDS(ON) or Vce(sat) respectively. This is an operational, rather than thermal, limit.
In Figure 1, the resistance (Rds) is a function of the gate - source voltage. However, internal parasitic capacitance between the terminals, represented by Cgs & Cdg, must also be considered. There is also an “intrinsic” body diode that is effectively in parallel with the drain-source channel. This diode has generally very poor performance characteristics in that it is relatively slow to turn off and has a high forward voltage, so for high performance applications, a separate “fast recovery” diode must be added in parallel with the FET.

3. Qg in both MOSFETs & IGBTs: This is a measure of the total charge needed to raise the gate to its full rated Vgs or “ON” voltage. Units are in nCoulobs. In the past, values were only given for Cgs/Cge and Cdg/Ccg which, along with Vth (threshold voltage) and the MOSFET drain/IGBT collector voltage, collectively determine Qg. These two internal capacitances are very influential in determining the dynamic behavior of the MOSFET/IGBT. For example, Cdg/Ccg, also known as the Miller Capacitance, provides “negative feedback” to the Gate, especially during fast switching events. Thus, when trying to turn the FET/IGBT ON by raising the gate voltage, the voltage at the drain/collector will fall very quickly. This, in turn, will pull charge away from the Vgs/Vge via the Cds/Ccg and thus tend to turn the device OFF again. Care must be taken in the drive circuit to see that there is sufficiently low impedance present to hold the gate ON against this effect. Further, Cgs/Cge has the effect of slowing down changes in Vgs and thus changes in the channel resistance. This, in turn, slows down the switching of the MOSFET/IGBT and increases switching losses.
Maximum Device Current (Amps)
A Simplified MOSFET Model At the simplest level, a MOSFET can be thought of as a voltage dependent resistor. Referring to Figure 1 below, the voltage between the gate and the source determines the resistance between the drain and the source. However, we must consider a number of other elements in order to arrive at a useful conceptual model of any MOSFET component.

Power MOSFETs and IGBTs are actually fairly complex devices with a number of parameters that must be well understood to properly apply them. In this article, we will review the important operational parameters and key application issues for each device. We will then compare and contrast the performance and applicability of MOSFETs vs. IGBTs and discuss when to use one vs. the other.

Recent device design and process improvements have greatly expanded the ”performance envelope” for both MOSFETs and IGBTs. For the most part, IGBTs retain their voltage and current magnitude advantage. Of course application requirements will militate in favor of one over the other.

Figure 10: MOSFET vs. Voltage
In Figure 10, we compare the voltage vs. current transfer function for MOSFETs & IGBTs. Due to the linear nature of the drain-source conductive channel in the ON state, MOSFETs have a linear transfer function. However, when an IGBT is in the ON state, there is a three layer bipolar (PNP) structure in saturation and thus its curve is non-linear and very steep above a certain Vce(sat) voltage. Therefore, there is a “crossover” point above which higher device currents will result in lower losses in the IGBT than in the MOSFET. The value of this “crossover” point is changing with yearly process and design improvements for each device.
