AOZ5036
60A DrMOS Power Module
General Description
Features
The AOZ5036 is a high efficiency synchronous buck
power stage module consisting of two asymmetrical
MOSFETs and an integrated driver. The MOSFETs are
individually optimized for operation in the synchronous
buck configuration. The high side MOSFET has low
capacitance and gate charge for fast switching with low
duty cycle operation. The low side MOSFET has ultra low
RDS(ON) to minimize conduction losses.
 Fully complies with Intel DrMOS Rev 4.0 specifications
The AOZ5036 is available with two PWM options.
AOZ5036QI is intended for use with TTL compatible
PWM inputs. AOZ5036QI-01 has lower thresholds on the
PWM signal and can operate with 3V inputs. All other
parameters are identical for the two versions. Both
versions are tri-state compatible that allows both power
MOSFETs to be turned off.
 Integrated boot supply diode
A number of features are provided making the AOZ5036
a highly versatile power module. The boot supply diode is
integrated in the driver. The low side MOSFET can be
driven into diode emulation mode to provide
asynchronous operation when required. The pinout is
optimized for low inductance routing of the converter
keeping the parasitics and their effects to the minimum.

Application Information
AOZ5036QI and AOZ5036QI-01 are fully integrated
power modules designed to work over an input voltage
range of 4.5V to 16V with 5V supplies for gate drive and
internal control circuits. A number of features are
provided making the AOZ5036QI a highly versatile power
module. High side and low side power MOSFETs are
combined in one package with the pin outs optimized for
power routing with minimum parasitic inductances. The
MOSFETs are individually tailored for efficient operation
as either high side or low side switches in a low duty
cycle synchronous buck converter. A high current driver
is also included in the package which minimizes the gate
drive loop and results in extremely fast switching. The
modules are fully compatible with Intel DrMOS
specification Rev 4.0 in form fit and function.
Powering the Module and the Gate Drives
An external supply VDRV of 5V is required for driving the
MOSFETs. The MOSFETs are designed with low gate
thresholds so that lower drive voltage can be used to
reduce the switching and drive losses without
compromising the conduction losses. The control logic
supply VCIN can be derived from the gate drive supply
VDRV through an RC filter to bypass the switching noise.
See Figure 14 for recommended gate drive supply
connections. The gate driver is capable of supplying
several amperes of peak current into the LS FET to
achieve extremely fast switching. A ceramic bypass
capacitor of 1F or higher is recommended from VDRV to
CGND.
Rev. 1.0 August 2013
The boost supply for driving the high side MOSFET is
generated by connecting a small capacitor between
BOOT pin and the switching node VSWH. It is
recommended that this capacitor Cboot be connected as
close as possible to the device across pins 4 and 7.
Boost diode is integrated into the package. Rboot is an
optional resistor used by designers to slow down the turn
on speed of the high side MOSFET. The value is a
compromise between the need to keep both the
switching time and VSWH node spikes as low as
possible and is typically 1 to 5
Undervoltage Lockout and Enable
VCIN is monitored for UVLO conditions and both outputs
are actively held low unless adequate gate supply is
available. The undervoltage lockout is set at 3.5V with a
550mV hysteresis. Since the PWM control signals are
provided typically from an external controller or a digital
processor extra care must be taken during start up.
The AOZ5036QI must be powered up and enabled
before the PWM input is applied. It should be ensured
that PWM signal goes through a proper soft start
sequence to minimise inrush current in the converter
during start up. Powering the module with a full duty
cycle PWM signal already applied may lead to a number
of undesirable consequences as explained below.
Outputs can also be turned off through the DISB# pin.
When this input is grounded the drivers are disabled and
held active low. The module is in standby mode with low
quiescent current of less than 75A.

IMPORTANT: If the DISB# is used it is necessary to
ensure proper coordination with soft start and enable
features of the external PWM controller in the system.
Every time AOZ5036QI is disabled through DISB# there
will be no output and the external controller may enter
into open loop and put out a PWM signal with maximum
duty ratio possible. If the AOZ5036QI is re-enabled by
taking DSBL# high, there will be extremely large inrush
currents while the output voltage builds up again which
may drive the system into current limit. There might be
undesirable consequences such as inductor saturation,
overloading of the input or even a catastrophic failure of
the device. It is recommended that the PWM controller
be disabled when AOZ5036QI is disabled or non
operational because of UVLO. The PWM controller
should always be enabled with a soft start to minimise
stresses on the converter.
The high side MOSFET in AOZ5036QI is optimized for
fast switching with low duty ratios. It has ultra low gate
charges which have been achieved as a trade off with
higher RDS(ON) value. When the module is operated at
low VIN the duty ratio will be higher and conduction
losses in the HS FET will also be correspondingly higher.
This will be compensated to some extent by reduced
switching losses. The total power loss in the module may
appear to be low even though in reality the HS MOSFET
losses may be disproportionately high. Since the two
MOSFETs have their own exposed pads and PCB
copper areas for heat dissipation, the HS FET may be
much hotter than the LS FET. It is recommended that
worst case junction temperature be measured and
ensured to be within safe limits when the module is
operated with high duty ratios.
PWM Input
In general it should be noted that AOZ5036QI is a
combination of two MOSFETs with an unintelligent driver,
all of which are optimized for switching at the highest
efficiency. Other than UVLO and thermal protection, it
does not have any monitoring or protection functions built
in. The PWM controller should be designed in to perform
these functions under all possible operating and transient
conditions.
Input Voltage VIN
AOZ5036QI is rated to operate over a wide input range of
4.5V to 16V. As with any other synchronous buck
converter, large pulse currents at high frequency and
extremely high di/dt rates will be drawn by the module
during normal operation. It is strongly recommended to
bypass the input supply very close to package leads with
X7R or X5R quality ceramic capacitors.
Rev. 1.0 August 2013
AOZ5036QI is offered in two versions which can be
interfaced with PWM logic compatible with either 5V
(TTL) or 3V (CMOS). Refer to Figure 13 for the timing
and propagation delays between the PWM input and the
gate drives. The PWM is also a tri state compatible input.
When the input is high impedance or unconnected both
the gate drives will be off and the gates are held active
low. The PWM Threshold Table (Table 1) lists the
thresholds for high and low level transitions as well as tri
state operation. As shown in Figure 13, there is a hold off
delay between the time PWM signal enters the tri state
window and the corresponding gate drive is pulled low.
This delay is typically 170ns and intended to prevent
spurious triggering of the tri state mode which may be
caused either by noise induced glitches in the PWM
waveform or slow rise and fall times.

Diode Mode Emulation of Low Side MOSFET (SMOD)
AOZ5036QI can be operated in the diode emulation or
skip mode using the SMOD pin. This is useful if the
converter has to operate in asynchronous mode during
start up, light load or under pre bias conditions. If SMOD
is taken high, the controller will use the PWM signal as
reference and generate both the high and low side
complementary gate drive outputs with the minimal
delays necessary to avoid cross conduction. When the
pin is taken low the HS FET drive is not affected but
diode emulation mode is activated for the LS FET. See
Table 2 for a comprehensive view of all logic inputs and
corresponding drive conditions.

Gate Drives
AOZ5036QI has an internal high current high speed
driver that generates the floating gate drive for the
HS FET and a complementary drive for the LS FET.
Propagation delays between transitions of the PWM
waveform and corresponding gate drives are kept to the
minimum. An internal shoot through protection scheme
ensures that neither MOSFET turns on while the other
one is still conducting, thereby preventing shoot through
condition of the input current. When the PWM signal
makes a transition from H  L or L  H, the
corresponding gate drive GH or GL begins to turn off.
The adaptive timing circuit monitors the falling edge of
the gate voltage and when the level goes below 1V, the
complementary gate driver is turned on. The dead time
between the two switches is minimized, at the same time
preventing cross conduction across the input bus. The
adaptive circuit also monitors the switching node VSWH
and ensures that transition from one MOSFET to another
Rev. 1.0 August 2013
always takes place without cross conduction, even under
transient and abnormal conditions of operation.
The gate pins GH and GL are brought out on pins 6 and
36 respectively. However these connections are not
made directly to MOSFET gate pads and their voltage
measurement may not reflect the actual gate voltage
applied inside the package. The gate connections are
primarily for functional tests during manufacturing and no
connections should be made to them in the application.
Thermal Shutdown
The module temperature is internally sensed and an
alarm is asserted if it exceeds 150°C. The alarm is reset
when the temperature cools down to 135°C. The THDN
is an open drain pin that is pulled to CGND to indicate an
overtemperature condition. It may be pulled up to VCIN
through a resistor for monitoring purposes.
PCB Layout Guidelines
AOZ5036 is a high current module rated for operation up
to 1MHz. This requires extremely fast switching speeds
to keep the switching losses and device temperatures
within limits. Having a robust gate driver integrated in the
package helps to minimise the driver-to-MOSFET gate
pad connections without involving the parasitics of the
package or PCB traces. While excellent switching
speeds are achieved, correspondingly high levels of dv/dt
and di/dt will be observed throughout the power train
which requires careful attention to PCB layout to
minimise voltage spikes and other transients. As with any
synchronous buck converter layout the critical
requirement is to minimise the area of the primary
switching current loop, formed by the HS FET, LS FET
and the input bypass capacitor Cin. The PCB design is
somewhat simplified because of the optimized pin out in
AOZ5036QI. The bulk of VIN and PGND pins are located
adjacent to each other and the input bypass capacitors
should be placed as close as possible to these pins. The
area of the secondary switching loop, formed by LS FET,
output inductor and output capacitor Cout is the next
critical parameter. The ground plane should be extended
and the negative pins of Cout should be returned to it,
again as close as possible to the device pins.
While AOZ5036QI is extremely efficient it can still
dissipate up to 6W of heat which requires attention to
thermal design. MOSFETs in the package are directly
attached to individual exposed pads to simplify thermal
management. Both VIN and VSWH pads should be
attached to large areas of PCB copper. Thermal reliefs
should be avoided to ensure proper heat dissipation to
the board. An inner power plane layer dedicated to VIN,
typically the 12V system input, is desirable and vias
should be provided near the device to connect the VIN

copper pour to the power plane. Though ground does not
form a part of any device tabs, significant amount of heat
is dissipated though multiple PGND pins. A large copper
pour connected to PGND pins and further to the system
ground plane through vias will further improve thermal
management of the system.
Figure 15 illustrates the various copper pours and bypass
capacitor locations.
