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. Table 2. Output Voltage Adjustment Resolution VOUT MIN, V VOUT MAX, V Resolution, mV 0.500 2.000 12.5 2.025 5.25 25 5.3 5.5 50 9.1.2 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. 9.1.3 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 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. REV. CD1.0 JUNE 17, 2005 www.cd4power.com VOUT Upper Regulation Limit Lower Regulation Limit Operating Point VI Curve Without Load Regulation VI Curve With Load Regulation Headroom without Load Regulation Headroom with Load Regulation Light Load IOUT Heavy Load Figure 29. Optimal Voltage Positioning Concept 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. Figure 30.

Turn-Off Delay Register DOF 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. User programmed turn-off delay, TDF Turn-Off Command Internal ramp-down command Calculated delay TD Ramp-down time, TF VOUT Falling slew rate dVF/dT Figure 32. Sequencing/Tracking Window 9.2.1 Turn-On Delay Turn-on delay is defined as an interval from the application of the Turn-On command until the output voltage starts ramping up. REV. CD1.0 JUNE 17, 2005 www.cd4power.com Time Figure 35. Relationship between Turn-Off Delay and Falling Slew Rate As it can be seen from the figure, the internally calculated delay TD is determined by the equation below. V TD = TDF − OUT , dVF dT For proper operation TD shall be greater than zero. The appropriate value of the turn-off delay needs to be programmed to satisfy the condition. Page 20 of 34 JZY7015L 15A DC-DC Intelligent POL 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. 9.2.3 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: ICHG = CLOAD × dVR dt Where, CLOAD is load capacitance, dVR/dt is rising voltage slew rate, and ICHG is charging current. When selecting the rising slew rate, a user needs to ensure that I LOAD + ICHG < IOCP Where IOCP is the overcurrent protection threshold of the JZY7015L. 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.

Therefore, the absolute levels of the thresholds change when the output voltage setpoint is changed either by output voltage adjustment or by margining. In addition, a user can change type of protections (latching or non-latching) or disable certain protections.

Protection Configuration Register PC1 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 Page 22 of 34 JZY7015L 15A DC-DC Intelligent POL 3V to 13.2V Input • 0.5V to 5.5V Output the Turn On command was recycled, or the input voltage was recycled. All protections can be classified into three groups based on their effect on system operation: warnings, faults, and errors. 9.3.2 Faults This group includes overcurrent, overtemperature, undervoltage, and tracking protections. Triggering any protection in this group will turn off the POL. 9.3.2.1 9.3.1 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. 9.3.1.1 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. 9.3.1.2 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. It is disabled during the transitions of the output voltage from one level to other as shown in Figure 42. 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. 9.3.2.2 Note: To retrieve status information, Status Monitoring in the GUI POL Group Configuration Window should be enabled (refer to JZM7100 Digital Power Manager Data Sheet). The DPM will retrieve the status information from each POL on a continuous basis. REV. CD1.0 JUNE 17, 2005 www.cd4power.com 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). 9.3.2.3 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. Overcurrent Protection 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. Page 23 of 34 JZY7015L 15A DC-DC Intelligent POL 3V to 13.2V Input • 0.5V to 5.5V Output 9.3.2.4 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). 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. 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. 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.

Protections Enable Conditions 9.3.3 Errors The group includes overvoltage protection and the phase voltage error. The phase voltage error is not available in JZY7015L. 9.3.3.1 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. REV. CD1.0 JUNE 17, 2005 www.cd4power.com The OV threshold can be programmed from 110% to 130% of the output voltage setpoint, but not lower than 1.0V. 9.3.4 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. 9.3.4.1 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 fault propagation within a group is desired, the propagation bit needs to be checked in the GUI Fault Page 24 of 34 JZY7015L 15A DC-DC Intelligent POL 3V to 13.2V Input • 0.5V to 5.5V Output 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.

Fault and Error Propagation Window 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. 9.3.4.2 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 9.3.2. 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. 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. 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. 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, REV.

The controller enables users to program most of the PWM performance parameters, such as switching frequency, interleave, duty cycle, and feedback loop compensation. 9.4.1 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. REV.

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 500kHz, 750kHz, and 1MHz. 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.

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.

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 REV. CD1.0 JUNE 17, 2005 www.cd4power.com Figure 50.

Resulting noise reduction is Page 27 of 34 JZY7015L 15A DC-DC Intelligent POL 3V to 13.2V Input • 0.5V to 5.5V Output more than 2 times and is equivalent to doubling switching frequency or adding extra capacitance on the output of the POLs. between the two parameters is characterized by the duty cycle and can be estimated from the following equation: DC = VOUT , 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. Figure 51.

Duty Cycle Limit Register Figure 52. Output Voltage Noise, Full Load, 180° Interleave The JZY7015L 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. JZY7015L 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. 9.4.3 Duty Cycle Limit The JZY7015L is a step-down converter therefore VOUT is always less than VIN. The relationship REV. CD1.0 JUNE 17, 2005 www.cd4power.com 9.4.4 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 Page 28 of 34 JZY7015L 15A DC-DC Intelligent POL 3V to 13.2V Input • 0.5V to 5.5V Output 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. 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. 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. 9.4.5 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. 9.5 The transfer function of the POL converter is shown in Figure 54. It is a third order function with two zeros and three poles. Pole 1 is the integrator pole, Pole 2 is used in conjunction with Zero 1 and Zero 2 to adjust the phase lead and limit the gain increase in mid band. Pole 3 is used as a high frequency lowpass filter to limit PWM noise.

It is strongly recommended to use the GUI to determine the filter coefficients. 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 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. -90 9.6 -135 -180 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, REV. CD1.0 JUNE 17, 2005 www.cd4power.com Performance Parameters Monitoring The POL converters can monitor their own performance parameters such as output voltage, output current, and temperature. 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 Page 29 of 34 JZY7015L 15A DC-DC Intelligent POL 3V to 13.2V Input • 0.5V to 5.5V 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 1kHz 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”. Figure 55. GUI System Configuration Window 10. Safety The JZY7015L POL converters do not provide isolation from input to output. The input devices powering JZY7015L must provide relevant isolation requirements according to all IEC60950 based REV. CD1.0 JUNE 17, 2005 www.cd4power.com 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 requirements must be observed. These Page 30 of 34 JZY7015L 15A DC-DC Intelligent POL 3V to 13.2V Input • 0.5V to 5.5V Output requirements are included in UL60950 - CSA6095000 and EN60950, although specific applications may have other or additional requirements. The JZY7015L 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.cd4power.com for proper selection of the input fuse. Both input traces and the 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 JZY7015L 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.
