Notes:
Stress in excess of Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage. Absolute Maximum Ratings, sometimes referred to as no destruction limits, are
normally tested with one parameter at a time exceeding the limits in the Electrical Specification. If exposed to stress above these limits, function and performance
may degrade in an unspecified manner.
Configuration File
This product is designed with a digital control circuit. The control circuit uses a configuration file which determines the
functionality and performance of the product. The Electrical Specification table shows parameter values of functionality
and performance with the default configuration file, unless otherwise specified. The default configuration file is designed
to fit most application needs with focus on high efficiency. If different characteristics are required it is possible to change
the configuration file to optimize certain performance characteristics. Note that current sharing operation requires changed
configuration file.

Notes:
1: See section I2C/SMBus Setup and Hold Times – Definitions.
2: Monitorable over PMBus Interface.
3: Automatic restart ~70 or 240 ms after fault if the fault is no longer present. Continuous restart attempts if the fault reappear after restart.
4: Tsw is the switching period.
5: Within +/-3% of VO
6: See section Soft-start Power Up.
7: Tracking functionality is designed to follow a VTRK signal with slew rate < 2.4 V/ms. For faster VTRK signals accuracy will depend on the regulator bandwidth.
8: See section Over Temperature Protection (OTP).
9: See section External Capacitors.
10: See section Initialization Procedure.
11: See graph Output Ripple vs External Capacitance and Operating information section Output Ripple and Noise.
12: See graph Load Transient vs. External Capacitance and Operating information section External Capacitors.
13: Time for reaching 100% of nominal Vout.
14: For Vout < 1.0 V accuracy is +/-10 mV. For further deviations see section Output Voltage Adjust using PMBus.
15: Accuracy here means deviation from ideal output voltage level given by configured droop and actual load. Includes line, load and temperature variations.
16: For current sharing the Output Voltage Delay Time must be reconfigured to minimum 15 ms.
17: For steady state operation above 1.05 x 3.3 V, please contact your local CUI sales representative.
18: A minimum load current is not required if Low Power mode is used (monitoring disabled).
19: See sections Dynamic Loop Compensation and Power Good.

OPERATING INFORMATION
The Novum Z Products PMBus Commands application note
defines the available PMBus™ commands.
REQUIRED CONFIGURATIONS
NDM2Z-50 Module Pins
Each NDM2Z-50 module should have a resistor placed
between VSET and PREF to set the output voltage of the
module. The maximum output voltage which can be
configured by PMBus commands can never exceed 110% of
the voltage set by the VSET pin. The SMBus address of each
module is set by either pin-strap configuration or resistor
value associated with the SA0 and SA1 pins. More
information regarding setting the SMBus address for a
module can be found in the section titled “SMBus”.
PCB Layout
Good performance of any point of load voltage regulator
module can only be achieved with careful PCB layout
considerations. Ground planes or very wide traces should
be used for power and ground routing. Input capacitors
should be placed close to the input voltage pins of the
module and output capacitors should be placed close to the
load. The module should also be placed as close as possible
to the load.
INPUT AND OUTPUT CAPACITORS
Input Capacitors
Input capacitors are recommended to be used with the
NDM2Z-50 module in order to minimize input voltage ripple.
A 330 μF POSCAP or electrolytic and 3x 22 μF ceramic
capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the input
pins of the module. Additional input capacitors may be
used if less input voltage ripple is desired.
Output Capacitors
Output capacitors are recommended to be used with the
NDM2Z-50 module in order to improve transient response
and minimize output voltage ripple. A 330 μF POSCAP or
electrolytic and 3x 22 μF ceramic capacitors should be
placed as close as possible to the load. Additional output
capacitors may be used to further improve the output
voltage characteristics.

deviation as a result of load transients. The incorporation
of DFM enhances the performance of CUI modules over that
available from conventional analog POL offerings.
Power Management Overview
The NDM2Z-50 module incorporates a wide range of power
management features. All power management functions
can be configured via the SMBus interface. The NDM2Z-50
can monitor and report many characteristics of the module
including input voltage, output voltage, output current and
internal temperature. Additionally, the NDM2Z-50 includes
circuit protection features that protect the module and load
from damage due to system faults. Monitoring parameters
can also be configured to provide alerts for specific
conditions. The ability of CUI modules to digitally control,
configure and monitor OS features provides significant
benefits over traditional analog POL products.
CONFIGURING THE MODULE
Pin Settings
Pins SA0 and SA1 are used to set the SMBus address
of the NDM2Z-50 module. Details of this feature are
discussed in the section titled “SMBus”. Pin SYNC is used
to synchronize the switching clock of the module to an
external clock source. More information regarding
synchronization can be found in the section titled
“SWITCHING FREQUENCY AND SYNCHRONIZATION”.
Pin VSET is used to configure the output voltage of the
module. The voltage established by the VSET pin limits the
maximum output voltage that can be configured by SMBus
commands.
The SA0, SA1, SYNC and VSET pin configurations are read
by the module when power is applied or whenever a SMBus
RESTORE command is issued.
The CTRL pin is active high and can be used to enable the
module. Internal connections on the module will drive the
CTRL pin high if it is left floating.
Pins +S and -S are used for remote voltage sensing of the
output voltage.
POWER CONVERSION AND MANAGEMENT
Power Conversion Overview
The NDM2Z-50 module has several features to enable high
power conversion efficiency. Non-linear loop response (NLR)
improves the response time and reduces the output

Configuration of Parameters Using the SMBus
The NDM2Z-50 module is supplied with default settings. All module settings (except for module SMBus address,
configured by pins SA0 and SA1) can be re-configured via the SMBus interface. The output voltage can not be set to
greater than 110% of the voltage set by the VSET pin.
START-UP PROCEDURE
Start-up Sequence
The NDM2Z-50 module follows an internal start-up procedure after power is applied to pin VIN. Table 2 describes the
start-up sequence. If the module is to be synchronized to an external clock source, the clock frequency must be stable
prior to asserting CTRL (or applying input voltage to the module if CTRL is not used). Once this process is completed, the
module is ready to accept assertion of CTRL and commands via the SMBus interface.

Pre-ramp delay
The module requires approximately 5 ms following a CTRL signal and prior to
ramping its output. Additional pre-ramp delay may be configured using PMBus
commands.
Approximately
5 ms
Soft-start Delay Ramp Times
Once CTRL is asserted the NDM2Z-50 module requires a
pre-ramp delay time before the output voltage may be
allowed to start the ramp-up process. After the delay period
has expired, the output will begin to ramp towards the
target voltage according to the pre-configured soft-start
ramp time that has been set. It is recommended to set the
soft-start ramp time to a value greater than 500 μs in order
to prevent fault conditions due to excessive inrush current.
Soft start delay and ramp times may be set using PMBus
commands.
Output Pre-Bias
An output pre-bias condition exists when a non-zero
Approximately 10
ms (module will
ignore a CTRL
signal and PMBus
commands during
this period)
voltage is present on the NDM2Z-50 module output before
the module output voltage is enabled. If a pre-bias voltage
exists, the output voltage of the module is set to match the
existing pre-bias voltage. The output voltage is then ramped
to the final regulation value in the specified ramp time.
The pre-bias voltage can be higher or lower than the final
output voltage. Higher pre-bias output voltages will cause
energy to be pumped into the input voltage rail powering
the module. This condition could cause the module to report
an error condition if the input voltage exceeds the input
over voltage lock out threshold. The module will report an
error condition if the pre-bias output voltage exceeds the
output over voltage protection threshold.

CUI Inc │ SERIES: NDM2Z-50 │ DESCRIPTION: AUTO COMPENSATED, DIGITAL DC-DC POL CONVERTER
Power Good
The PG pin on the NDM2Z-50 module will assert if the
output of the module is within tolerance of the target
voltage and no fault conditions exist. A PG delay period
is defined as the time from when all conditions within the
module for asserting PG are met to when PG is actually
asserted. By default, PG delay is set equal to the soft-start
ramp time setting. The tolerance, polarity and delay of PG
may be configured via PMBus commands.
Soft-stop Delay and Ramp Times
After CTRL is de-asserted the NDM2Z-50 module utilizes
a pre-ramp delay time before the output starts the rampdown process. After the delay period has expired, the
output will begin to ramp towards ground according to the
pre-configured soft-stop ramp time that has been set. It is
recommended to set the soft-start ramp down to a value
greater than 500 μs in order to prevent voltage spikes in
the module input supply rail due the energy stored in the
output capacitors. There will be a delay after the output
voltage has reached ground potential and then the output of
the module will be set to high impedance. Once the output
of the module is high impedance the output voltage may
float to a non-zero value if another source or leakage path
is connected to the output. The soft-stop delay and ramp
times may be configured via PMBus commands.
PMBus commands can be used to set the output of the
NDM2Z-50 module to high impedance as soon as the output
voltage drops below a selectable threshold.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE SETTING
Pin-Strap and Resistor Setting Methods
Using the pin-strap method, the voltage on the VOUT pin
of the NDM2Z-50 module can be set to one of three default
voltages as shown in Table 3. Table 4 lists the available
output voltage settings with a resistor connected between
VSET and PREF.

SMBus Setting Method
The voltage present at the VOUT pin of the NDM2Z-50
module can be reconfigured using PMBus commands. A
voltage level reconfigured by a PMBus command overrides the voltage set by the VSET pin, but cannot be set to
greater than 110% of the voltage set by the VSET pin.
Voltage Tracking
The NDM2Z-50 module includes a feature that allows the
output ramp voltage to track the ramp of a reference
voltage which is applied to the VTRK pin. The voltage ramp
tracking capability can be configured so that member
modules track at either 50% or 100% of the reference
voltage ramp rate. In addition, a member module can be
configured so that the termination voltage either tracks
or ignores perturbations on the reference voltage once it
has stabilized. Tracking at 50% and tracking final voltage
perturbations is intended for DDR memory applications. All
other applications which required voltage tracking should
use 100% tracking and ignore final voltage perturbations.
The reference voltage for tracking must have a target voltage which is equal to or greater than the target voltage of
the member modules. The turn-on delay of the reference
voltage must be at least 10 ms greater than that set for the
member modules. In voltage tracking mode, the turn-off
delay of the member modules establishes the time duration
which the member modules will track the reference voltage
after CTRL is de-asserted. The turn-off delay of the member
modules must be at least 5 ms greater than the sum of the
turn-off delay and fall time of the reference voltage.

CUI Inc │ SERIES: NDM2Z-50 │ DESCRIPTION: AUTO COMPENSATED, DIGITAL DC-DC POL CONVERTER
Current sharing modules which are also configured to track
a voltage must have all of the VTRK pins tied together.
All of the CTRL pins of the member modules must also be
connected together and driven by a common source. The
rise and fall times of the member modules should be set
between 5 ms and 10 ms to ensure current sharing while
ramping. PMBus commands can be used to configure the
voltage tracking features.
Voltage Margining
The NDM2Z-50 module offers a means to vary the output
voltage higher or lower relative to the nominal voltage
setting. The rate of change of the output voltage during
voltage margining is also configurable. The margin feature
can be reconfigured through PMBus commands.
SWITCHING FREQUENCY AND SYNCHRONIZATION
Switching Frequency
The switching frequency of the NDM2Z-50 module can
be reconfigured by PMBus commands or controlled by an
external clock source connected to the SYNC pin. If the
module is operated at a switching frequency of other than
the factory default setting, the compensation may need to
be adjusted and the ripple, noise, transient response and
efficiency may be affected.
SYNC Auto Detect
The NDM2Z-50 module will automatically check for a clock
signal on the SYNC pin after CTRL is asserted (or applying
input voltage to the module if CTRL is not used). If a clock
signal is present, the module will synchronize to the rising
edge of the external clock. The external clock signal must
be stable and conform to the “RECOMMENDED OPERATING
CONDITIONS” parameters when CTRL is asserted (or
applying input voltage to the module if CTRL is not used).
In the event of a loss of the external clock signal, the
output voltage of the module may show transient overshoot
or undershoot and the module will automatically configure
to switch at a frequency close to the previous incoming
frequency. If no incoming clock signal is present when CTRL
is asserted (or applying input voltage to the module if CTRL
is not used), the module will switch at the frequency set by
the configuration file.

loop every time the output voltage ramps to the regulated
level. PMBus commands can be used to configure when the
module re-compensates the loop.
The user also has the option to manually configure the loop
compensation.
Non-Linear Response (NLR) Settings
The NDM2Z-50 module incorporates a non-linear response
(NLR) loop that decreases the response time and the output
voltage deviation in the event of a sudden output load
current step. This implementation results in a higher
equivalent loop bandwidth than what would be possible
using a traditional linear loop. PMBus commands can be
used to configure the NLR response of the module.
Adaptive Diode Emulation
Please contact CUI technical support regarding the
implementation of adaptive diode emulation.
Adaptive Frequency Control
The NDM2Z-50 module includes adaptive frequency control
to improve conversion efficiency. Adaptive frequency control
is not available for current sharing groups and is not
allowed when the module is placed in auto-detect mode
and a clock source is present on the SYNC pin.
Adaptive frequency control is only available while the
module is operating within adaptive diode emulation mode.
Adaptive frequency control can be enabled and disabled
with PMBus commands.
MULTI-MODULE CONFIGURATION
Output Sequencing
Multiple device sequencing of NDM2Z-50 modules may
be achieved by issuing PMBus commands to assign the
preceding device in the sequencing chain as well as the
device that will follow in the sequencing chain. The CTRL
pins of all devices in a sequencing group must be tied
together and driven high to initiate a sequenced turn-on of
the group. CTRL must be driven low to initiate a sequenced
turnoff of the group.
CONTROL LOOP
Adaptive Loop Compensation
The NDM2Z-50 module employs automatic adaptive loop
compensation to increase the performance and stability of
the module over a wide range of conditions. The default
setting configures the module to re-compensate the control

Fault Spreading
NDM2Z-50 modules can be configured to broadcast a fault
event over the DDC (Digital-DC Communication bus) to the
other modules in the group. When a nondestructive fault
occurs and the module is configured to shut down on a
fault, the module will shut down and broadcast the fault
event over the DDC. The other modules on the DDC will
shut down together if configured to do so, and will attempt
to re-start in their prescribed order if configured to do so.
PMBus commands can be used to configure the
transmission and reception of faults.
Active Current Sharing
Paralleling multiple NDM2Z-50 modules can be used to
increase the output current capability of a single power rail.
By connecting the DDC of each module together and
configuring the modules as a current sharing rail, the units
will share the load current.
Upon system start-up, the module with the lowest SMBus
address is defined as the reference module; the remaining
modules are members. The reference module broadcasts
the current over the DDC. The output voltages of the
member modules are controlled by the reference current
information to balance the current loading of each module
in the system.
A current sharing rail can be part of a system sequencing
group. For fault configuration, the current share rail is
configured in a quasi-redundant mode. In this mode, when
a member module fails the remaining members will
continue to operate and attempt to maintain regulation. If
fault spreading is enabled, the current share rail failure is
broadcast only after the entire current share rail fails.
Members of the current sharing rail can be disabled to
improve system power conversion efficiency. If the
reference module fails or is disabled then the remaining
module with the lowest SMBus address will become the new
reference module. A change to the number of members of a
current sharing rail will cause automatic phase
re-distribution of the members of that current sharing rail.
If the members of a current sharing rail are forced to shut
down due to an observed fault, all members of the rail will
attempt to re-start simultaneously after the fault has
cleared. PMBus commands can be used to configure current
sharing. A maximum of seven modules can be configured
in a single current share group.
date 12/21/2015 │ page 29 of 32
the phase offset of each module is controlled by the module
addresses; phase offset = device address x 45°.
For example:
• A module address of 0x00 or 0x20 would configure 0° of
phase offset
• A module address of 0x01 or 0x21 would configure 45° of
phase offset
• A module address of 0x02 or 0x22 would configure 90° of
phase offset
The phase offset of each module may also be set via the
PMBus INTERLEAVE command.
POWER FAULT MANAGEMENT
Input Under and Over Voltage Lockout
Input under voltage lockout (UVLO) and input over voltage
lockout (OVLO) indicate faults for the NDM2Z-50 module
when the input voltage falls outside of preset thresholds.
The default response due to an input voltage fault is
an immediate shutdown of the module. The module will
continuously check for the presence of the fault condition.
Once the fault condition is no longer present, the module
will be re-enabled. PMBus commands can be used to
configure the thresholds and response of the module to the
fault condition.
Output Under and Over Voltage Protection
The NDM2Z-50 module employs an output voltage
protection circuit that can be used to protect load circuitry
from being subjected to voltages outside of prescribed
limits. A hardware comparator is used to compare the
voltage seen at the +S pin to voltage thresholds. If the +S
pin voltage is outside of these thresholds the PG pin will
de-assert and the module will indicate a fault condition.
The default response to an output voltage fault is to
immediately shut down. The module will continuously check
for the presence of the fault condition, when the fault
condition no longer exists the module will be re-enabled.
PMBus commands can be used to set the voltage
thresholds and configure the response of the module to the
fault condition. When operating from an external clock the
only allowed response to an output voltage fault is an
immediate shutdown.
Phase Spreading
When multiple NDM2Z-50 modules share a common DC
input supply, it may be desirable to adjust the clock phase
offset of each module. In order to enable phase spreading,
all modules must be synchronized to the same switching
clock. For modules driven by a common synchronizing clock

Output Over Current Protection
Output over current protection will protect the NDM2Z-50
module and load from damage if an overload condition is
imposed on the output. The module will indicate a fault
condition when the output current limit threshold is
exceeded. The default response from an output current fault
is an immediate shutdown of the module. The module will
continuously check for the presence of the fault condition,
and if the fault condition no longer exists the module will be
re-enabled. PMBus commands can be used to configure the
current limit threshold and the response of the module to
the fault condition.
Table 5: Pin-strap SMBus Addressing
SMBus Communications
The NDM2Z-50 module provides a SMBus interface that
enables the user to configure the module operation as well
as monitor input and output parameters. The module can
be used with any standard 2-wire I2C host device, accepts
most standard PMBus commands, is compatible with SMBus
version 2.0 and includes an SALRT line to help mitigate
bandwidth limitations related to continuous fault
monitoring. It is recommended that CTRL be pulled low
while configuring the module with PMBus commands.
Pull-up resistors are required on the SMBus lines as
described in "RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS".
SMBus Addresses
When communicating with multiple SMBus devices using the
SMBus interface, each device must have a unique address
so the host can distinguish between the devices. The
NDM2Z-50 module address can be set according to the
pin-strap options listed in Table 5; address values are
right-justified.
If additional module addresses are required, a resistor can
be connected to pin SA0 as shown in Table 6 to provide up
to 25 unique module addresses.

Thermal Overload Protection
The NDM2Z-50 module includes a thermal sensor that
measures the temperature of the module and indicates a
fault when the temperature exceeds a preset limit. The
default response from a temperature fault is an
immediate shutdown of the module. The module will
continuously check for the fault condition and once the fault
has cleared the module will be re-enabled. PMBus
commands can be used to configure the thermal
protection threshold and the response of the module to the
fault condition. Permanent damage to the module may
result if the thermal limit is set too high.

When using only pin SA0 to set the SMBus address, pin SA1
should be tied to PREF.
If more than 25 unique module addresses are required or if
other SMBus address values are desired, pins SA0 and SA1
can be configured with a resistor to PREF as listed in
Table 7.
Using this method, the user can theoretically configure up
to 625 unique SMBus addresses. However, the SMBus is
inherently limited to 128 modules so attempting to
configure an address higher than 128 (0x80) will cause the
module address to repeat (i.e, attempting to configure a
module address of 129 (0x81) would result in a module
address of 1).
Therefore, the user should use index values 0-4 on pin SA1
and the full range of index values on pin SA0, which will
provide 125 module address combinations. Note that the
SMBus address 0x4B is reserved for module test and cannot
be used in the system.

Digital-DC Bus
The DDC (Digital-DC Communication Bus) is used to
communicate between NDM2Z modules. This dedicated bus
provides the communication channel between modules for
features such as sequencing, fault spreading, and current
sharing. A pull-up resistor is required on the DDC as
defined in “RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS”.

Monitoring Via SMBus
A system controller can be used to monitor the NDM2Z-50
module system parameters through the SMBus. Fault
conditions can be detected by monitoring the SALRT pin,
which will be asserted when pre-configured fault conditions
occur. Modules can also be monitored for power conversion
parameters including but not limited to the following:

•
•
•
•
•
Input voltage

Snapshot™ Parameter Capture
The NDM2Z-50 module offers features that enable the user
to capture parametric data during normal operation or
following a fault. The Snapshot feature enables the user to
read status and parameter values via a block read transfer
through the SMBus. This can be done during normal
operation, although it should be noted that reading the 22
bytes will occupy the SMBus for up to 1400 μs.
The SNAPSHOT_CONTROL command enables the user to
store the snapshot parameters to flash memory in
response to a pending fault as well as to read the stored
data from flash memory after a fault has occurred.
Automatic writes to flash memory following a fault are
triggered when any fault threshold level is exceeded,
provided that the specific response to that fault is
to shut down (writing to flash memory is not allowed if the
module is configured to re-try following the specific fault
condition). It should also be noted that the input voltage to
the module must be maintained during the time when the
module is writing the data to flash memory; a process that
requires between 700 μs to 1400 μs depending on whether
the data is set up for a block write. Undesirable results may
be observed if the input voltage to the module drops too
low during this process. In the event that the module
experiences a fault and power is lost, the user can extract
the last SNAPSHOT parameters stored during the fault
by using the SMBus to transfer data from flash memory to
RAM and then using the SMBus to read data from RAM.
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
Mounting
Heat from the NDM2Z-50 module will be conducted through
the pins to the host board. Provisions must be made for the
host board to accommodate this additional heating.
Airflow
Airflow past the NDM2Z-50 module will assist in cooling
the module. Factors affecting the efficiency of the cooling
include the rate, direction and temperature of the airflow.
