ZSPM4011B
High Efficiency 1A Synchronous Buck Converter
Brief Description
Benefits
The ZSPM4011B is a DC/DC synchronous
switching regulator with fully integrated power
switches, internal compensation, and full fault
protection. The 1MHz switching frequency enables
using small filter components, resulting in reduced
board space and reduced bill-of-materials costs.

The ZSPM4011B utilizes current mode feedback in
normal regulation pulse-width modulation (PWM)
mode. When the regulator is disabled (EN pin is
low), the ZSPM4011B draws less than 10µA quiescent current.

ZSPM4011B Characteristics
Important: Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” (section 1.1) may cause permanent
damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other
conditions beyond those indicated under “Recommended Operating Conditions” (section 1.3) is not implied.
Exposure to absolute–maximum–rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

For best performance, a low ESR ceramic capacitor should be used.
For best performance, a low ESR ceramic capacitor should be used. If CBYPASS is not a low ESR ceramic capacitor, a 0.1µF ceramic

High Efficiency 1A Synchronous Buck Converter

Description of Circuit
The ZSPM4011B current-mode synchronous step-down power supply product can be used in the commercial,
industrial, and automotive market segments. It includes flexibility for a wide range of output voltages and is
optimized for high efficiency power conversion with low RDSON integrated synchronous switches. A 1MHz internal
switching frequency facilitates low-cost LC filter combinations. The fixed-output versions also enable a minimum
external component count to provide a complete regulation solution with only 4 external components: an input
bypass capacitor, an inductor, an output capacitor, and the bootstrap capacitor. The regulator automatically
transitions between pulse frequency modulation (PFM) and pulse width modulation (PWM) mode to maximize
efficiency for the load demand.
See section 5.4.3 for details for adjusting VOUT for the adjustable output version of the ZSPM4011B.

Internal Protection Details
Internal Current Limit
The current through the high side FET is sensed on a cycle-by-cycle basis, and if the current limit is reached, the
over-current detection (OCD) circuit will abbreviate the cycle. The device also senses the FB pin to identify hard
short conditions and will direct the VSW output to skip 4 cycles if the current limit occurs when FB is low. This
allows current built up in the inductor during the minimum on-time to decay sufficiently. The current limit is always
active when the regulator is enabled. Soft start ensures that current limit does not prevent regulator startup.
An additional feature of the over-current protection circuitry is that under extended over-current conditions, the
device will automatically disable. A simple toggle of the EN enable pin will return the device to normal operation.
3.2.2.
Thermal Shutdown
If the temperature of the die exceeds 170°C (typical), the thermal shutdown (TSD) circuit will set the VSW outputs
to the tri-state level to protect the device from damage. The PG and all other protection circuitry will stay active to
inform the system of the failure mode. If the ZSPM4011B cools to 160°C (typical), it will attempt to start up again,
following the normal soft start sequence. If the device reaches 170°C, the shutdown/restart sequence will repeat.
3.2.3.
Voltage Reference Soft-Start
The voltage reference in this device is ramped at a rate of 4ms to prevent the output from overshoot during
startup. This ramp restarts whenever there is a rising edge sensed on the EN pin. This occurs in both the fixed
and adjustable versions. During the soft start ramp, current limit is still active and still protects the device if the
output is shorted.
3.2.4.
VCC Under-Voltage Lockout
The ZSPM4011B is held in the off state until VCC reaches 4.3V (typical). See section 1.4 for the input hysteresis.

3.2.5.
Output Over-Voltage Protection
If the output of the regulator exceeds 103% of the regulation voltage, the output over-voltage (OUT-OV) protection
circuit will set the VSW outputs to the tri-state level to protect the ZSPM4011B from damage. (See Figure 3.2.)
This check occurs at the start of each switching cycle. If it occurs during the middle of a cycle, the switching for
that cycle will complete and the VSW outputs will tri-state at the start of the next cycle.
3.2.6.
Output Under-Voltage Monitoring
The switched mode output voltage is also monitored by the output under-voltage circuit (OUT-UV) as shown in
Figure 3.2. The PG line remains low until the output voltage reaches the V OUT-UV threshold (see Table 1.5). Once
the internal comparator detects that the output voltage is above the desired threshold, an internal delay timer is
activated and the PG line is de-asserted (to high) once this delay timer expires. In the event that the output
voltage decreases below VOUT-UV, the PG line will be asserted low and remain low until the output rises above
VOUT-UV and the delay timer times out. There is a hysteresis for the V OUT-UV threshold (see Table 1.5.

Application Circuits
Selection of External Components
The internal compensation is optimized for a 44µF output capacitor (COUT) and a 4.7µH inductor (LOUT). The
minimum allowable value for the output capacitor is 33µF. To keep the output ripple low, a low ESR (less than
35mΩ) ceramic is recommended. The inductor range is 4.7µH +/-20%. For optimal over-current protection, the
inductor should be able to handle up to the regulator current limit without saturation.
Connect the VCC pin to the bypass capacitor CBYPASS to improve performance (see section 5.4.1). See Table 1.3
for the recommended value.
Connect the BST pin to the bootstrap capacitor CBST as described in section 5.4.2. See Table 1.3 for the
recommended value.
For the adjustable version of the ZSPM4011B, an external voltage resistor divider is required (R TOP and RBOT).
See section 5.4.3 for details.

ZSPM4011B
High Efficiency 1A Synchronous Buck Converter
5.4.
5.4.1.
Detailed Pin Description
Unregulated Input, VCC (Pins # 2, 3)
This terminal is the unregulated input voltage source for the ZSPM4011B. It is recommended that a 10µF bypass
capacitor be placed close to the device for best performance. Since this is the main supply for the ZSPM4011B,
good layout practices must be followed for this connection.
5.4.2.
Bootstrap Control, BST (Pin #10)
This terminal will provide the bootstrap voltage required for the high-side internal NMOS switch of the buck
regulator. An external ceramic capacitor placed between the BST input terminal, and the VSW pin will provide the
necessary voltage for the high-side switch. In normal operation, the capacitor is re-charged on every low side
synchronous switching action. If the switch mode approaches 100% duty cycle for the high side FET, the device
th
will automatically reduce the duty cycle switch to a minimum off time on every 8 cycle to allow this capacitor to
re-charge.
5.4.3.
Sense Feedback, FB (Pin #5)
This is the input terminal for the output voltage feedback. For the fixed-mode versions, this should be connected
directly to VOUT. The connection on the PCB should be kept as short as possible and should be made as close as
possible to the capacitor. The trace should not be shared with any other connection. For adjustable-mode
versions of the ZSPM4011B, this should be connected to the external resistor divider. To choose the resistors,
use the following equation:
VOUT = 0.9 (1 + RTOP/RBOT)
The input to the FB pin is high impedance, and input current should be less than 100nA. As a result, good layout
practices are required for the feedback resistors and feedback traces. When using the adjustable version, the
feedback trace should be kept as short and narrow as possible to reduce stray capacitance and the injection of
noise.
5.4.4.
Switching Output, VSW (Pins #12, 13)
This is the switching node of the regulator. It should be connected directly to the 4.7µH inductor with a wide, short
trace and to one end of the bootstrap capacitor. It switches between VCC and PGND at the switching frequency.
5.4.5.
Ground, GND (Pin #4)
This ground is used for the majority of the device including the analog reference, control loop, and other circuits.
5.4.6.
Power Ground, PGND (Pins #14, 15)
This is a separate ground connection used for the low-side synchronous switch to isolate switching noise from the
rest of the device.
5.4.7.
Enable, EN (Pin #9)
This is the input terminal to activate the regulator. The input threshold is TTL/CMOS compatible. It also has an
internal pull-up to ensure a stable state if the pin is disconnected.
5.4.8.
PG Output, PG (Pin #8)
This is an open drain, active low output. See section 3.2.6 for a description of the function of this pin.
