ZSPM4013
High Efficiency 3A Synchronous Buck Converter
Brief Description
Benefits
The ZSPM4013 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 ZSPM4013 utilizes current mode feedback in
normal regulation pulse-width modulation (PWM)
mode. When the regulator is disabled (EN pin is
low), the ZSPM4013 draws less than 10µA quiescent current.

For best performance, an inductor with a saturation current rating higher than the maximum V OUT load requirement plus the inductor
current ripple.
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
capacitor should be added in parallel to CBYPASS.

Description of Circuit
The ZSPM4013 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. Additionally, the fixed-output versions 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 PFM and PWM mode to maximize efficiency for the load demand.

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, it
will abbreviate the cycle. In addition, the device 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.
3.1.2.
Thermal Shutdown
If the temperature of the die exceeds 170°C (typical), the VSW outputs will tri-state to protect the device from
damage. The PG and all other protection circuitry will stay active to inform the system of the failure mode. Once
the ZSPM4013 cools to 160°C (typical), the device will attempt to start up again, following the normal soft start
sequence. If the device reaches 170°C, the shutdown/restart sequence will repeat.
3.1.3.
Reference Soft-Start
The 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.
3.1.4.
Output Over-Voltage
If the output of the regulator exceeds 103% of the regulation voltage, the VSW outputs will tri-state to protect the
ZSPM4013 from damage. 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.
3.1.5.
VCC Under-Voltage Lockout
The ZSPM4013 is held in the off state until VCC reaches 5.75V (typical). There is hysteresis on this input (see
section 1.4).

Application Circuits
Selection of External Components
The internal compensation is optimized for a 44µF output capacitor and a 4.7µH inductor. 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 5.3.1). See Table 1.3
for the recommended value.
Connect the BST pin to the bootstrap capacitor CBST as described in section 5.3.2. See Table 1.3 for the
recommended value.

ZSPM4013
High Efficiency 3A Synchronous Buck Converter
5.3.
5.3.1.
Detailed Pin Description
Unregulated Input, VCC (Pins # 2, 3)
This terminal is the unregulated input voltage source for the ZSPM4013. 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 ZSPM4013, good
layout practices must be followed for this connection.
5.3.2.
Bootstrap Control, BST (Pin #10)
This terminal will provide the bootstrap voltage required for the upper 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 upper 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 will automatically
th
reduce the duty cycle switch to a minimum off time on every 8 cycle to allow this capacitor to re-charge.
5.3.3.
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 ZSPM4013, 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.
5.3.4.
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 is switching between VCC and PGND at the switching frequency.
5.3.5.
Ground, GND (Pin #4)
This ground is used for the majority of the device including the analog reference, control loop, and other circuits.
5.3.6.
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.
5.3.7.
Enable, High-Voltage, 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.
5.3.8.
Power Good Output, PG (Pin #8)
This is an open drain, active low output. The switched mode output voltage is monitored, and the PG line will remain
low until the output voltage reaches the VOUT-UV threshold. 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. (See Figure 3.2.)

Control
When using an N-Channel Power MOSFET transistor as a high-side switch for the converter switching
output, a gate voltage higher than the supply voltage is needed to turn the transistor fully on.
For this purpose, a charge pump circuit, called the bootstrap control, is implemented to provide this high
supply voltage for the high-side power MOSFET driver block.
