ZY7015 is a step-down converter, thus the output voltage is always lower than the input voltage as show in Figure 1.
At the negative output current (bus terminator mode) efficiency of the ZY7015 degrades resulting in increased internal power dissipation.
Therefore maximum allowable negative current under specific conditions is 20% lower than the current determined from the derating curves
shown in paragraph 5.5.

Figure 25. Block Diagram of Typical Multiple Output Application with Digital Power Manager and I C Interface
The block diagram of a typical application of ZY7015 point-of-load converters (POL) is shown in Figure 25. The
system includes multiple POLs and a ZM7000 series Digital Power Manager (DPM). All POLs are connected to
the DPM and to each other via a single-wire SD (sync/data) line. The line provides synchronization of all POLs to
the master clock generated by the DPM and simultaneously performs bidirectional data transfer between POLs
and the DPM. Each POL has a unique 5-bit address programmed by grounding respective address pins. To
enable the current share, CS pins of POLs connected in parallel are linked together.
There are three groups of POLs in the application, groups A, B, and group C. A group is defined as a number of
POLs interconnected via OK pins. Grouping of POLs enables users to program, control, and monitor multiple
POLs simultaneously and execute advanced fault management schemes.
The complete schematic of the application is shown in Figure 26.

Programmable Features
Performance parameters of ZY7015 POL converters
can be programmed via the industry standard I2C
communication
bus
without
replacing
any
components or rewiring PCB traces.
Each
parameter has a default value stored in the volatile
memory registers detailed in Table 1. The setup
registers 00h through 14h are programmed at the
system power-up. When the user programs new
performance parameters, the values in the registers
are overwritten. Upon removal of the input voltage,
the default values are restored.

ZY7015 converters can be programmed using the
Graphical User Interface or directly via the I2C bus by
using high and low level commands as described in
the ‘”DPM Programming Manual”.
ZY7015 parameters can be reprogrammed at any
time during the system operation and service except
for the digital filter coefficients, the switching
frequency and the duty cycle limit, that can only be
changed when the POL is turned off.

Output Voltage Setpoint
The output voltage programming range is from 0.5V
to 5.5V. Within this range, there are 256 predefined
voltage setpoints. To improve resolution of the
output voltage settings, the voltage range is divided
into three sub-ranges as shown in Table 2.

Output Voltage Margining
If the output voltage needs to be varied by a certain
percentage, the margining function can be utilized.
The margining can be programmed in the GUI
Output Configuration window or directly via the I2C
bus using high level commands as described in the
‘”DPM Programming Manual”.
In order to properly margin POLs that are connected
in parallel, the POLs must be members of one of the
Parallel Buses.
Refer to the GUI System
Configuration Window shown in Figure 55.
8.1.3
Optimal Voltage Positioning
Optimal voltage positioning increases the voltage
regulation window by properly positioning the output
voltage setpoint. Positioning is determined by the
load regulation that can be programmed in the GUI
Output Configuration window shown in Figure 27 or
directly via the I2C bus by writing into the CLS
register shown in Figure 38.
Figure 29 illustrates optimal voltage positioning
concept. If no load regulation is programmed, the
headroom (voltage differential between the output
voltage setpoint and a regulation limit) is
approximately half of the voltage regulation window.
When load regulation is programmed, the output
voltage will decrease as the output current
increases, so the VI characteristic will have a
negative slope. Therefore, by properly selecting the
operating point, it is possible to increase the
headroom as shown in the picture.

Figure 29. Concept of Optimal Voltage Positioning
Increased headroom allows tolerating larger voltage
deviations. For example, the step load change from
light to heavy load will cause the output voltage to
drop. If the optimal voltage positioning is utilized, the
output voltage will stay within the regulation window.
Otherwise, the output voltage will drop below the
lower regulation limit. To compensate for the voltage
drop external output capacitance will need to be
added, thus increasing cost and complexity of the
system.
The effect of optimal voltage positioning is shown in
Figure 30 and Figure 31. In this case, switching
output load causes large peak-to-peak deviation of
the output voltage. By programming load regulation,
the peak to peak deviation is dramatically reduced.

Sequencing and Tracking
Turn-on delay, turn-off delay, and rising and falling
output voltage slew rates can be programmed in the
GUI Sequencing/Tracking window shown in Figure
32 or directly via the I2C bus by writing into the DON,
DOF, and TC registers, respectively. The registers
are shown in Figure 33, Figure 34, and Figure 36.
Turn-off delay is defined as an interval from the
application of the Turn-Off command until the output
voltage reaches zero (if the falling slew rate is
programmed) or until both high side and low side
switches are turned off (if the slew rate is not
programmed). Therefore, for the slew rate controlled
turn-off the ramp-down time is included in the turn-off
delay as shown in Figure 35.

For proper operation TD shall be greater than zero.
The appropriate value of the turn-off delay needs to

3V to 13.2V Input • 0.5V to 5.5V Output
If the falling slew rate control is not utilized, the turnoff delay only determines an interval from the
application of the Turn-Off command until both high
side and low side switches are turned off. In this
case, the output voltage ramp-down process is
determined by load parameters.
8.2.3
Rising and Falling Slew Rates
The output voltage tracking is accomplished by
programming the rising and falling slew rates of the
output voltage. To achieve programmed slew rates,
the output voltage is being changed in 12.5mV steps
where duration of each step determines the slew
rate. For example, ramping up a 1.0V output with a
slew rate of 0.5V/ms will require 80 steps duration of
25µs each.
Duration of each voltage step is calculated by
dividing the master clock frequency generated by the
DPM.
Since all POLs in the system are
synchronized to the master clock, the matching of
voltage slew rates of different outputs is very
accurate as it can be seen in Figure 11 and Figure
16.
During the turn on process, a POL not only delivers
current required by the load (ILOAD), but also charges
the load capacitance. The charging current can be
determined from the equation below:

When selecting the rising slew rate, a user needs to

Where IOCP is the overcurrent protection threshold of
the ZY7015. If the condition is not met, then the
overcurrent protection will be triggered during the
turn-on process. To avoid this, dVR/dt and the
overcurrent protection threshold should be
programmed to meet the condition above.

If the non-latching protection is selected, a POL will
attempt to restart every 130ms until the condition
that triggered the protection is removed. When
restarting, the output voltages follow tracking and
sequencing settings.
If the latching type is selected, a POL will turn off and
stay off. The POL can be turned on after 130ms, if
the condition that caused the fault is removed and
the respective bit in the ST register was cleared, or
the Turn On command was recycled, or the input
voltage was recycled.

3V to 13.2V Input • 0.5V to 5.5V Output
All protections can be classified into three groups
based on their effect on system operation: warnings,
faults, and errors.
8.3.1
Warnings
This group includes Overtemperature Warning and
Power Good Signal. The warnings do not turn off
POLs but rather generate signals that can be
transmitted to a host controller via the I2C bus.
8.3.1.1
Overtemperature Warning
The Overtemperature Warning is generated when
temperature of the controller exceeds 120°C. The
Overtemperature Warning changes the PT bit of the
status register ST to 0 and sends the signal to the
DPM.
Reporting is enabled in the GUI Fault
Management window or directly via the I2C by writing
into the PC3 register shown in Figure 43. When the
temperature falls below 117°C, the PT bit is cleared
and the Overtemperature Warning is removed.
8.3.1.2
Power Good
Power Good is an open collector output that is pulled
low, if the output voltage is outside of the Power
Good window. The window is formed by the Power
Good High threshold that is equal to 110% of the
output voltage and the Power Good Low threshold
that can be programmed at 90 or 95% of the output
voltage.
The Power Good protection is only enabled after the
output voltage reaches its steady state level. The
PGOOD pin is pulled low during transitions of the
output voltage from one level to other as shown in

The Power Good Warning pulls the Power Good pin
low and changes the PG bit of the status register ST
to 0. It sends the signal to the DPM, if the reporting
is enabled. When the output voltage returns within
the Power Good window, the PG pin is pulled high,
the PG bit is cleared and the Power Good Warning is
removed. The Power Good pin can also be pulled
low by an external circuit to initiate the Power Good
Warning.
Note: To retrieve status information, Status Monitoring in the GUI
POL Group Configuration Window should be enabled (refer
to Digital Power Manager Data Sheet). The DPM will
retrieve the status information from each POL on a
continuous basis.

8.3.2
Faults
This group includes overcurrent, overtemperature,
undervoltage, and tracking protections. Triggering
any protection in this group will turn off the POL.
8.3.2.1
Overcurrent Protection
Overcurrent protection is active whenever the output
voltage of the POL exceeds the prebias voltage (if
any). When the output current reaches the OC
threshold, the output voltage will start decreasing.
As soon as the output voltage decreases below the
undervoltage protection threshold, the OC fault
signal is generated, the POL turns off and the OC bit
in the register ST is changed to 0. Both high side
and low side switches of the POL are turned off
instantly (fast turn-off).
The temperature compensation is added to keep the
OC
threshold
approximately
constant
at
temperatures above room temperature. Note that
the temperature compensation can be disabled in
the GUI Output Configuration window or directly via
the I2C by writing into the CLS register. However, it
is recommended to keep the temperature
compensation enabled.
8.3.2.2
Undervoltage Protection
The undervoltage protection is only active during
steady state operation of the POL to prevent
nuisance tripping. If the output voltage decreases
below the UV threshold and there is no OC fault, the
UV fault signal is generated, the POL turns off, and
the UV bit in the register ST is changed to 0. The
output voltage is ramped down according to
sequencing and tracking settings (regular turn-off).
8.3.2.3
Overtemperature Protection
Overtemperature protection is active whenever the
POL is powered up. If temperature of the controller
exceeds 130°C, the OT fault is generated, POL turns
off, and the OT bit in the register ST is changed to 0.
The output voltage is ramped down according to
sequencing and tracking settings (regular turn-off).
If non-latching OTP is programmed, the POL will
restart as soon as the temperature of the controller
decreases below the Overtemperature Warning
threshold of 120°C.

3V to 13.2V Input • 0.5V to 5.5V Output
8.3.2.4
Tracking Protection
Tracking protection is active only when the output
voltage is ramping up. The purpose of the protection
is to ensure that the voltage differential between
multiple rails being tracked does not exceed 250mV.
This protection eliminates the need for external
clamping diodes between different voltage rails
which are frequently recommended by ASIC
manufacturers.
When the tracking protection is enabled, the POL
continuously compares actual value of the output
voltage to its programmed value as defined by the
output voltage and its rising slew rate. If absolute
value of the difference exceeds 250mV, the tracking
fault signal is generated, the POL turns off, and the
TR bit in the register ST is changed to 0. Both high
side and low side switches of the POL are turned off
instantly (fast turn-off).
The tracking protection can be disabled, if it
contradicts requirements of a particular system (for
example turning into high capacitive load where
rising slew rate is not important). It can be disabled
in the GUI Fault Management window or directly via
the I2C bus by writing into the PC1 register.

Errors
The group includes overvoltage protection and the
phase voltage error. The phase voltage error is not
available in ZY7015.
8.3.3.1
Overvoltage Protection
The overvoltage protection is active whenever the
output voltage of the POL exceeds the pre-bias
voltage (if any). If the output voltage exceeds the
overvoltage protection threshold, the overvoltage
error signal is generated, the POL turns off, and the
OV bit in the register ST is changed to 0. The high
side switch is turned off instantly, and simultaneously
the low side switch is turned on to ensure reliable
protection of sensitive loads. The low side switch
provides low impedance path to quickly dissipate
energy stored in the output filter and achieve
effective voltage limitation.
ZD-00283 REV. 2.2
www.power-one.com
The OV threshold can be programmed from 110% to
130% of the output voltage setpoint, but not lower
than 1.0V.
8.3.4
Faults and Errors Propagation
The feature adds flexibility to the fault management
scheme by giving users control over propagation of
fault signals within and outside of the system. The
propagation means that a fault in one POL can be
programmed to turn off other POLs and devices in
the system, even if they are not directly affected by
the fault.
8.3.4.1
Grouping of POLs
Z-Series POLs can be arranged in several groups to
simplify fault management. A group of POLs is
defined as a number of POLs with interconnected
OK pins. A group can include from 1 to 32 POLs. If
Page 23 of 34
ZY7015 15A DC-DC Intelligent POL Data Sheet
3V to 13.2V Input • 0.5V to 5.5V Output
fault propagation within a group is desired, the
propagation bit needs to be checked in the GUI Fault
Management Window. The parameters can also be
programmed directly via the I2C bus by writing into
the PC3 register shown in Figure 43.
When propagation is enabled, the faulty POL pulls its
OK pin low. A low OK line initiates turn-off of other
POLs in the group.

In this case low OK line will signal DPM to pull other
OK lines low to initiate shutdown of other POLs as
programmed in the GUI Fault and Error Propagation
window. If an error is propagated, the DPM can also
generate commands to turn off a front end (a DC-DC
converter generating the intermediate bus voltage)
and trigger an optional crowbar protection to
accelerate removal of the IBV voltage.
8.3.4.2
Propagation Process
Propagation of a fault (OCP, UVP, OTP, and TRP)
initiates regular turn-off of other POLs. The faulty
POL in this case performs either the regular or the
fast turn-off depending on a specific fault as
described in section 8.3.2.
Figure 43. Protection Configuration Register PC3
In addition, the OK lines can be connected to the
DPM to facilitate propagation of faults and errors
between groups. One DPM can control up to 4
independent groups. To enable fault propagation
between groups, the respective bit needs to be
checked in the GUI Fault and Error Propagation
window shown in Figure 44.
Propagation of an error initiates fast turn-off of other
POLs. The faulty POL performs the fast turn-off and
turns on its low side switch.
Example of the fault propagation is shown in Figure
45 - Figure 46. In this three-output system (refer to
the block diagram in Figure 25), the POL powering
the output V3 (Ch 1 in the picture) encounters the
undervoltage fault after the turn-on. When the fault
propagation is not enabled, the POL turns off and
generates the UV fault signal. Because the UV fault
triggers the regular turn off, the POL meets its turnoff delay and falling slew rate settings during the
turn-ff process as shown in Figure 45. Since the UV
fault is programmed to be non-latching, the POL will
attempt to restart every 130ms, repeating the
process described above until the condition causing
the undervoltage is removed.
If the fault propagation between groups is enabled,
the POL powering the output V3 pulls its OK line low
and the DPM propagates the signal to the POL
powering the output V1 that belongs to other group.

3V to 13.2V Input • 0.5V to 5.5V Output
The POL powering the output V1 (Ch3 in the picture)
executes the regular turn-off. Since both V1 and V3
have the same delay and slew rate settings they will
continue to turn off and on synchronously every
130ms as shown in Figure 46 until the condition
causing the undervoltage is removed. The POL
powering the output V2 continues to ramp up until it
reaches its steady state level.
130ms is the interval from the instant of time when
the output voltage ramps down to zero until the
output voltage starts to ramp up again. Therefore,
the 130ms hiccup interval is guaranteed regardless
of the turn-off delay setting.

PWM Parameters
Z-Series POLs utilize the digital PWM controller.
The controller enables users to program most of the
PWM performance parameters, such as switching
frequency, interleave, duty cycle, and feedback loop
compensation.
8.4.1
Switching Frequency
The switching frequency can be programmed in the
GUI PWM Controller window shown in Figure 47 or
directly via the I2C bus by writing into the INT register
shown in Figure 48. Note that the content of the
register can be changed only when the POL is
turned off.
Switching actions of all POLs connected to the SD
line are synchronized to the master clock generated
by the DPM. Each POL is equipped with a PLL and
a frequency divider so they can operate at multiples
(including fractional) of the master clock frequency
as programmed by a user. The POL converters can
operate at 500 kHz, 750 kHz, and 1 MHz. Although
synchronized, switching frequencies of different
POLs are independent of each other.
It is
permissible to mix POLs operating at different
frequencies in one system. It allows optimizing
efficiency and transient response of each POL in the
system individually.

Figure 48. Interleave Configuration Register INT
8.4.2
Interleave
Interleave is defined as a phase delay between the
synchronizing slope of the master clock on the SD
pin and PWM signal of a POL. The interleave can
be programmed in the GUI PWM Controller window
or directly via the I2C bus by writing into the INT
register.
Every POL generates switching noise.
If no
interleave is programmed, all POLs in the system
switch simultaneously and noise reflected to the
input source from all POLs is added together as
shown in Figure 49.

3V to 13.2V Input • 0.5V to 5.5V Output
Figure 50 shows the input voltage noise of the threeoutput system with programmed interleave. Instead
of all three POLs switching at the same time as in
the previous example, the POLs V1, V2, and V3
switch at 0°, 123.75°, and 247.5°, respectively.
Noise is spread evenly across the switching cycle
resulting in more than 1.5 times reduction. To
achieve similar noise reduction without the interleave
will require the addition of an external LC filter.
Figure 52. Output Voltage Noise, Full Load, 180° Interleave
Figure 50. Input Voltage Noise with Interleave
Similar noise reduction can be achieved on the
output of POLs connected in parallel. Figure 51 and
Figure 52 show the output noise of two ZY7015s
connected in parallel without and with 180°
interleave, respectively. Resulting noise reduction is
more than 2 times and is equivalent to doubling
switching frequency or adding extra capacitance on
the output of the POLs.
The ZY7015 interleave feature is similar to that of
multiphase converters, however, unlike in the case of
multiphase converters, interleave does not have to
be equal to 360/N, where N is the number of POLs in
a system. ZY7015 interleave is independent of the
number of POLs in a system and is fully
programmable in 11.25° steps. It allows maximum
output noise reduction by intelligently spreading
switching energy.
8.4.3
Duty Cycle Limit
The ZY7015 is a step-down converter therefore VOUT
is always less than VIN. The relationship between
the two parameters is characterized by the duty
cycle and can be estimated from the following
equation:
V
DC = OUT ,
VIN .MIN
Where, DC is the duty cycle, VOUT is the required
maximum output voltage (including margining),
VIN.MIN is the minimum input voltage.
It is good practice to limit the maximum duty cycle of
the PWM controller to a somewhat higher value
compared to the steady-state duty cycle as
expressed by the above equation. This will further
protect the output from excessive voltages. The duty
cycle limit can be programmed in the GUI PWM
Controller window or directly via the I2C bus by
writing into the DCL register shown in Figure 53.

ADC Saturation Feedforward
To speed up the PWM response in case of heavy
dynamic loads, the duty cycle can be forced either to
0 or the duty cycle limit depending on the polarity of
the transient. This function is equivalent to having
two comparators defining a window around the
output voltage setpoint. When an error signal is
inside the window, it will produce gradual duty cycle
change proportional to the error signal. If the error
signal goes outside the window (usually due to large
output current steps), the duty cycle will change to its
limit in one switching cycle. In most cases this will
significantly improve transient response of the
controller, reducing amount of required external
capacitance.
Under certain circumstances, usually when the
maximum duty cycle limit significantly exceeds its
nominal value, the ADC saturation can lead to the
overcompensation of the output error.
The
phenomenon manifests itself as low frequency
oscillations on the output of the POL. It can usually
be reduced or eliminated by disabling the ADC
saturation or limiting the maximum duty cycle to 120140% of the calculated value. It is not recommended
to use ADC saturation for output voltages higher
than 2.0V.

Figure 54. Transfer Function of PWM
Positions of poles and zeroes are determined by
coefficients of the digital filter.
The filter is
characterized by four numerator coefficients (C0, C1,
C2, C3) and three denominator coefficients (B1, B2,
B3). The coefficients are automatically calculated
when desired frequency of poles and zeros is
entered in the GUI PWM Controller window. The
coefficients are stored in the C0H, C0L, C1H, C1L,
C2H, C2L, C3H, C3L, B1, B2, and B3 registers.
Note:
The GUI automatically transforms zero and pole
frequencies into the digital filter coefficients. It is strongly
recommended to use the GUI to determine the filter
coefficients.
The ADC saturation feedforward can be
programmed in the GUI PWM Controller window or
directly via the I2C bus by writing into the DCL
register.
Programming feedback loop compensation allows
optimizing POL performance for various application
conditions. For example, increase in bandwidth can
significantly improve dynamic response.
8.4.5
Feedback Loop Compensation
Feedback loop compensation can be programmed in
the GUI PWM Controller window by setting
frequency of poles and zeros of the transfer function.

Current Share
The POL converters are equipped with the digital
current share function. To activate the current share,
interconnect the CS pins of the POLs connected in
parallel. The digital signal transmitted over the CS
Page 28 of 34
ZY7015 15A DC-DC Intelligent POL Data Sheet
3V to 13.2V Input • 0.5V to 5.5V Output
line sets output currents of all POLs to the same
level.
When POLs are connected in parallel, they must be
included in the same parallel bus in the GUI System
Configuration window shown in Figure 55. In this
case, the GUI automatically copies parameters of
one POL onto all POLs connected to the parallel
bus. It makes it impossible to configure different
performance parameters for POLs connected in
parallel except for interleave and load regulation
settings that are independent. The interleave allows
to reduce and move the output noise of the
converters connected in parallel to higher
frequencies as shown in Figure 51 and Figure 52.
The load regulation allows controlling the current
share loop gain in case of small signal oscillations. It
is recommended to always add a small amount of
load regulation to one of the converters connected in
parallel to reduce loop gain and therefore improve
stability.
8.6
Performance Parameters Monitoring
The POL converters can monitor their own
performance parameters such as output voltage,
output current, and temperature.
ZD-00283 REV. 2.2
www.power-one.com
The output voltage is measured at the output sense
pins, output current is measured using the ESR of
the output inductor and temperature is measured by
the thermal sensor built into the controller IC. Output
current readings are adjusted based on temperature
readings to compensate for the change of ESR of
the inductor with temperature.
An 8-Bit Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) converts
the output voltage, output current, and temperature
into a digital signal to be transmitted via the serial
interface. The ADC allows a minimum sampling
frequency of 1 kHz for all three values.
Monitored parameters are stored in registers (VOM,
IOM, and TMON) that are continuously updated. If
the Retrieve Monitoring bits in the GUI Group
Configuration window shown in Figure 56 are
checked, those registers are being copied into the
ring buffer located in the DPM. Contents of the ring
buffer can be displayed in the GUI IBS Monitoring
Window shown in Figure 57 or it can be read directly
via the I2C bus using high and low level commands
as described in the ‘”DPM Programming Manual”.

Safety
The ZY7015 POL converters do not provide
isolation from input to output. The input devices
powering ZY7015 must provide relevant isolation
requirements according to all IEC60950 based
standards. Nevertheless, if the system using the
converter needs to receive safety agency approval,
certain rules must be followed in the design of the
system. In particular, all of the creepage and
clearance requirements of the end-use safety
ZD-00283 REV. 2.2
www.power-one.com
requirements must be observed.
These
requirements are included in UL60950 - CSA6095000 and EN60950, although specific applications may
have other or additional requirements.
The ZY7015 POL converters have no internal fuse.
If required, the external fuse needs to be provided to
protect the converter from catastrophic failure. Refer
to the “Input Fuse Selection for DC/DC converters”
application note on www.power-one.com for proper
selection of the input fuse. Both input traces and the
Page 31 of 34
ZY7015 15A DC-DC Intelligent POL Data Sheet
3V to 13.2V Input • 0.5V to 5.5V Output
chassis ground trace (if applicable) must be capable
of conducting a current of 1.5 times the value of the
fuse without opening. The fuse must not be placed
in the grounded input line.
Abnormal and component failure tests were
conducted with the POL input protected by a fastacting 65 V, 15 A, fuse. If a fuse rated greater than
15 A is used, additional testing may be required.
In order for the output of the ZY7015 POL converter
to be considered as SELV (Safety Extra Low
Voltage), according to all IEC60950 based
standards, the input to the POL needs to be supplied
by an isolated secondary source providing a SELV
also.
