Dynamic VID transitions

Dynamic VID transitions

The device is able to manage Dynamic VID Code changes that allow Output Voltage

modification during normal device operation. OVP and UVP signals (and PGOOD in case of

AMD Mode) are masked during every VID transition and they are re-activated after the

transition finishes with a 32 clock cycles delay to prevent from false triggering due to the

transition.

When changing dynamically the regulated voltage (D-VID), the system needs to charge or

discharge the output capacitor accordingly. This means that an extra-current ID-VID needs to

be delivered, especially when increasing the output regulated voltage and it must be

considered when setting the over current threshold. This current can be estimated using the

following relationships:

where dVOUT is the selected DAC LSB (6.25mV for VR11 and VR10 Extended DAC or 25mV

for AMD DAC) and TVID is the time interval between each LSB transition (externally driven).

Overcoming the OC threshold during the dynamic VID causes the device to enter the

constant current limitation slowing down the output voltage dV/dt also causing the failure in

the D-VID test.

L6714 checks for VID code modifications (See Figure 13) on the rising edge of an internal

additional DVID-clock and waits for a confirmation on the following falling edge. Once the

new code is stable, on the next rising edge, the reference starts stepping up or down in LSB

increments every VID-clock cycle until the new VID code is reached. During the transition,

VID code changes are ignored; the device re-starts monitoring VID after the transition has

finished on the next rising edge available. VID-clock frequency (FDVID) depends on the

operative mode selected: for Intel Mode it is in the range of 1MHz to assure compatibility

with the specifications while, for AMD Mode, this frequency is lowered to about 250kHz.

When L6714 performs a D-VID transition in AMD Mode, DVID pin is pulled high as long as

the device is performing the transition (also including the additional 32clocks delay)

Warning:

If the new VID code is more than 1 LSB different from the

previous, the device will execute the transition stepping the

reference with the DVID-clock frequency FDVID until the new

code has reached: for this reason it is recommended to

carefully control the VID change rate in order to carefully

control the slope of the output voltage variation especially in

Intel Mode.
