INTERSIL ZL9117MIRZ

Digital DC/DC PMBus 17A Module
ZL9117M
Features
The ZL9117M is a 17A, variable output, step-down
PMBus-compliant digital power supply. Included in the module
is a high-performance digital PWM controller, power MOSFETs,
an inductor, and all the passive components required for a
highly integrated DC/DC power solution. This power module
has built-in auto-compensation algorithms, which eliminates
the need for manual compensation design work. The ZL9117M
operates over a wide input voltage range and supports an
output voltage range of 0.6V to 3.6V, which can be set by
external resistors or via PMBus. This high-efficiency power
module is capable of delivering 17A. Only bulk input and
output capacitors are needed to finish the design. The output
voltage can be precisely regulated to as low as 0.6V with ±1%
output voltage regulation over line, load, and temperature
variations.
• Complete Digital Switch Mode Power Supply
The ZL9117M features auto-compensation, internal soft-start,
auto-recovery overcurrent protection, an enable option, and
pre-biased output start-up capabilities.

Notes:
1. The I2C/SMBus requires pull-up resistors. Please refer to the I2C/SMBus specifications for more details.
2. The DDC bus requires a pull-up resistor. The resistance will vary based on the capacitive loading of the bus (and on the number of
devices connected). The 10k default value, assuming a maximum of 100pF per device, provides the necessary 1µs pull-up rise time.
Please refer to the Digital-DC Bus section for more details.
3. Additional capacitance may be required to meet specific transient response targets.
4. The VR, V25, VDRV, and VDD capacitors should be placed no farther than 0.5 cm from the pin.

NOTES:
9. Compliance to datasheet limits is assured by one or more methods: production test, characterization and/or design.
10. Parameters with TYP limits are not production tested unless otherwise specified.
11. Parameters are 100% tested for internal controller prior to module assembly.
12. VOUT measured at the termination of the FB+ and FB- sense points.
13. The device requires a delay period following an enable signal and prior to ramping its output. Precise timing mode limits this delay period to
approximately 2ms, where in normal mode it may vary up to 4ms.
14. Precise ramp timing mode is only valid when using the EN pin to enable the device rather than PMBus enable.
15. The devices may require up to a 4ms delay following the assertion of the enable signal (normal mode) or following the de-assertion of the enable
signal.
16. Factory setting for Power-Good delay is set to the same value as the soft-start ramp time.
17. Nominal capacitance of logic pins is 5pF.
18. This condition is tested on the Intersil 3-module evaluation board at +50°C ambient temperature and 400LFM air flow.
19. The load current is related to the thermal derating curves. The maximum allowed current is derated while the output voltage goes higher than 2.5V.

Functional Description
TABLE 1. OUTPUT VOLTAGE RESISTOR SETTINGS (Continued)
I2C/SMBus Communications
The ZL9117M provides an I2C/SMBus digital interface that
enables the user to configure all aspects of the module operation
as well as monitor the input and output parameters. The
ZL9117M can be used with any I2C host device. In addition, the
module is compatible with SMBus version 2.0. Pull-up resistors
are required on the I2C/SMBus as specified in the SMBus 2.0
specification. The ZL9117M accepts most standard PMBus
commands. When controlling the device with PMBus commands,
it is recommended that the enable pin is tied to SGND.
The SMBus device address and VOUT_MAX are the only
parameters that must be set by external pins. All other device
parameters can be set via the I2C/SMBus. The device address is
set using the SA pin. VOUT_MAX is determined as 10% greater
than the voltage set by the VSET pin. Standard 1% resistor values
are used between the respective pin and SGND.
Output Voltage Selection
The output voltage may be set to a voltage between 0.6V and
3.6V provided that the input voltage is higher than the desired
output voltage by an amount sufficient to prevent the device
from exceeding its maximum duty cycle specification.
The VSET pin is used to set the output voltage to levels as shown
in Table 1. The RSET resistor is placed between the VSET pin and
SGND.

The output voltage may also be set to any value between 0.6V
and 3.6V using a PMBus command over the I2C/SMBus
interface. See Application Note AN2033 for details.
The RSET resistor program places an upper limit in output
voltage setting through PMBUS programming to 10% above the
value set by the resistor.
Soft-start Delay and Ramp Times
It may be necessary to set a delay from when an enable signal is
received until the output voltage starts to ramp to its target
value. In addition, the designer may wish to precisely set the time
required for VOUT to ramp to its target value after the delay
period has expired. These features may be used as part of an
overall in-rush current management strategy or to precisely
control how fast a load IC is turned on. The ZL9117M gives the
system designer several options for precisely and independently
controlling both the delay and ramp time periods.

The ZL9117M provides a Power-Good (PG) signal that indicates
the output voltage is within a specified tolerance of its target
level and no fault condition exists. By default, the PG pin asserts
if the output is within 10% of the target voltage. These limits and
the polarity of the pin may be changed via the I2C/SMBus
interface. See Application Note AN2033 for details.

The soft-start delay period begins when the EN pin is asserted
and ends when the delay time expires.
The soft-start delay and ramp times are set to custom values via
the I2C/SMBus interface. When the delay time is set to 0ms, the
device begins its ramp-up after the internal circuitry has
initialized (approximately 2ms). When the soft-start ramp period
is set to 0ms, the output ramps up as quickly as the output load
capacitance and loop settings allow. It is generally
recommended to set the soft-start ramp to a value greater than
500µs to prevent inadvertent fault conditions due to excessive
in-rush current.
A PG delay period is defined as the time from when all conditions
within the ZL9117M for asserting PG are met to when the PG pin
is actually asserted. This feature is commonly used instead of
FN7914.1
October 21, 2011
ZL9117M
using an external reset controller to control external digital logic.
By default, the ZL9117M PG delay is set equal to the soft-start
ramp time setting. Therefore, if the soft-start ramp time is set to
10ms, the PG delay is set to 10ms. The PG delay may be set
independently of the soft-start ramp using the I2C/SMBus as
described in Application Note AN2033.
Switching Frequency and PLL
The ZL9117M incorporates an internal phase-locked loop (PLL) to
clock the internal circuitry. The PLL can be driven by an external
clock source connected to the SYNC pin. When using the internal
oscillator, the SYNC pin can be configured as a clock source.
The internal switching frequency of the ZL9117M is 571kHz.
Please refer to Application Note AN2033 for details on how to
configure the UVLO threshold or to select specific UVLO fault
response options via the I2C/SMBus interface.
Output Overvoltage Protection
The ZL9117M offers an internal output overvoltage protection
circuit that can be used to protect sensitive load circuitry from
being subjected to a voltage higher than its prescribed limits. A
hardware comparator is used to compare the actual output
voltage (seen at the FB+ pin) to a threshold set to 15% higher
than the target output voltage (the default setting). If the FB+
voltage exceeds this threshold, the PG pin de-asserts, and the
controller can then respond in a number of ways, as follows:
Loop Compensation
1. Initiate an immediate shutdown until the fault is cleared. The
user can select a specific number of retry attempts.
The ZL9117M operates as a voltage-mode synchronous buck
controller with a fixed frequency PWM scheme. The module is
internally compensated via the I2C/SMBus interface.
2. Turn off the high-side MOSFET and turn on the low-side
MOSFET. The low-side MOSFET remains ON until the device
attempts a restart.
The ZL9117M has an auto compensation feature that measures
the characteristics of the power train and calculates the proper
tap coefficients. By default, auto compensation is configured to
execute one time after ramp with 50% Auto Comp Gain with
Power-Good asserted immediately after the first Auto Comp cycle
completes.
The default response from an overvoltage fault is to immediately
shut down. The controller continuously checks for the presence
of the fault condition, and when the fault condition no longer
exists, the device is re-enabled.
Please refer to Application Note AN2033 for further details.
For continuous overvoltage protection when operating from an
external clock, the only allowed response is an immediate
shutdown.
Adaptive Diode Emulation
Please refer to Application Note AN2033 for details on how to
select specific overvoltage fault response options via I2C/SMBus.
Adaptive diode emulation mode turns off the low-side FET gate
drive at low load currents to prevent the inductor current from
going negative, reducing the energy losses and increasing overall
efficiency. Diode emulation is available to single-phase devices
only.
Note: the overall bandwidth of the device may be reduced when
in diode emulation mode. Disabling the diode emulation prior to
applying significant load steps is recommended.
Input Undervoltage Lockout
The input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) prevents the ZL9117M
from operating when the input falls below a preset threshold,
indicating the input supply is out of its specified range. The UVLO
threshold (VUVLO) can be set between 2.85V and 16V using the
I2C/SMBus interface.
Once an input undervoltage fault condition occurs, the device
can respond in a number of ways, as follows:
1. Continue operating without interruption.
2. Continue operating for a given delay period, followed by
shutdown if the fault still exists. The device remains in
shutdown until instructed to restart.
Output Pre-Bias Protection
An output pre-bias condition exists when an externally applied
voltage is present on a power supply’s output before the power
supply’s control IC is enabled. Certain applications require that
the converter not be allowed to sink current during start-up if a
pre-bias condition exists at the output. The ZL9117M provides
pre-bias protection by sampling the output voltage prior to
initiating an output ramp.
If a pre-bias voltage lower than the target voltage exists after the
pre-configured delay period has expired, the target voltage is set
to match the existing pre-bias voltage, and both drivers are
enabled. The output voltage is then ramped to the final
regulation value at the preconfigured ramp rate.
The actual time the output takes to ramp from the pre-bias
voltage to the target voltage varies, depending on the pre-bias
voltage, however, the total time elapsed from when the delay
period expires and when the output reaches its target value will
match the pre-configured ramp time. See Figure 13.
3. Initiate an immediate shutdown until the fault is cleared. The
user can select a specific number of retry attempts.
The default response from a UVLO fault is an immediate
shutdown of the module. The controller continuously checks for
the presence of the fault condition. If the fault condition is no
longer present, the ZL9117M is re-enabled.

3. Continue operating for a given delay period, followed by
shutdown if the fault still exists.
4. Continue operating through the fault (this could result in
permanent damage to the power supply).
5. Initiate an immediate shutdown.
The default response from an overcurrent fault is an immediate
shutdown of the controller. The controller continuously checks for
the presence of the fault condition, and if the fault condition no
longer exists, the device is re-enabled.
Please refer to Application Note AN2033 for details on how to
select specific overcurrent fault response options via I2C/SMBus.
Thermal Overload Protection
The ZL9117M includes a thermal sensor that continuously
measures the internal temperature of the module and shuts
down the controller when the temperature exceeds the preset
limit. The default temperature limit is set to +125°C in the
factory, but the user may set the limit to a different value if
desired. See Application Note AN2033 for details. Note that
setting a higher thermal limit via the I2C/SMBus interface may
result in permanent damage to the controller. Once the module
has been disabled due to an internal temperature fault, the user
may select one of several fault response options as follows:
1. Initiate a shutdown and attempt to restart an infinite number
of times with a preset delay period between attempts.
FIGURE 13. OUTPUT RESPONSES TO PRE-BIAS VOLTAGES
If a pre-bias voltage higher than the target voltage exists after the
pre-configured delay period has expired, the target voltage is set
to match the existing pre-bias voltage, and both drivers are
enabled with a PWM duty cycle that would ideally create the
pre-bias voltage.
Once the pre-configured soft-start ramp period has expired, the
PG pin is asserted (assuming the pre-bias voltage is not higher
than the overvoltage limit). The PWM then adjusts its duty cycle
to match the original target voltage, and the output ramps down
to the preconfigured output voltage.
If a pre-bias voltage higher than the overvoltage limit exists, the
device does not initiate a turn-on sequence and declares an
overvoltage fault condition to exist. In this case, the device
responds based on the output overvoltage fault response method
that has been selected. See “Output Overvoltage Protection” on
page 9 for response options due to an overvoltage condition.
Note that pre-bias protection is not offered for current sharing
groups that also have tracking enabled. VDD must be tied to VIN
for proper prebias start-up in single module operation.
Output Overcurrent Protection
The ZL9117M can protect the power supply from damage if the
output is shorted to ground or if an overload condition is imposed
on the output. The following overcurrent protection response
options are available:
1. Initiate a shutdown and attempt to restart an infinite number
of times with a preset delay period between attempts.
2. Initiate a shutdown and attempt to restart a preset number of
times with a preset delay period between attempts.
3. Continue operating for a given delay period, followed by
shutdown if the fault still exists.
4. Continue operating through the fault (this could result in
permanent damage to the power supply).
5. Initiate an immediate shutdown.
If the user has configured the module to restart, the controller
waits the preset delay period (if configured to do so) and then
checks the module temperature. If the temperature has dropped
below a threshold that is approximately +15°C lower than the
selected temperature fault limit, the controller attempts to
re-start. If the temperature still exceeds the fault limit, the
controller waits the preset delay period and retries again.
The default response from a temperature fault is an immediate
shutdown of the module. The controller continuously checks for
the fault condition, and once the fault has cleared, the ZL9117M
is re-enabled.
Please refer to Application Note AN2033 for details on how to
select specific temperature fault response options via
I2C/SMBus.
I2C/SMBus Module Address Selection
Each module must have its own unique serial address to
distinguish between other devices on the bus. The module
address is set by connecting a resistor between the SA pin and
SGND. Table 2 lists the available module addresses.
2. Initiate a shutdown and attempt to restart a preset number of
times with a preset delay period between attempts.

To enable phase spreading, all converters must be synchronized

may also be set to any value between 0° and 360° in 22.5°

Note AN2033 for further details.

A group of Digital-DC modules or devices may be configured to

useful when powering advanced processors, FPGAs and ASICs
that require one supply to reach its operating voltage; prior to
another supply reaching its operating voltage in order to avoid
latch-up. Multi-device sequencing can be achieved by configuring
each device through the I2C/SMBus interface.

Phase Spreading
When multiple point-of-load converters share a common DC
input supply, it is desirable to adjust the clock phase offset of
each device such that not all devices start to switch
simultaneously. Setting each converter to start its switching cycle
at a different point in time, can dramatically reduce input
capacitance requirements and efficiency losses. Since the peak
current drawn from the input supply is effectively spread out over
a period of time, the peak current drawn at any given moment is
reduced, and the power losses proportional to the IRMS2 are
reduced dramatically.
Multiple device sequencing is configured by issuing PMBus
commands to assign the preceding device in the sequencing
chain as well as the device that follows in the sequencing chain.
The Enable pins of all devices in a sequencing group must be tied
together and driven high to initiate a sequenced turn-on of the
group. Enable must be driven low to initiate a sequenced turnoff
of the group.
Refer to Application Note AN2033 for details on sequencing via
the I2C/SMBus interface.
Digital-DC Bus
The Digital-DC Communications (DDC) bus is used to
communicate between Zilker Labs Digital-DC modules and
devices. This dedicated bus provides the communication channel
between devices for features such as sequencing, fault
spreading, and current sharing. The DDC pin on all Digital-DC
devices in an application should be connected together. A pull-up
resistor is required on the DDC bus in order to guarantee the rise
time as shown in Equation 1:
(EQ. 1)
Rise Time = R PU∗ C LOAD ≈ 1μs
where RPU is the DDC bus pull-up resistance and CLOAD is the
bus loading. The pull-up resistor may be tied to an external 3.3V
or 5V supply as long as this voltage is present prior to or during
device power-up. As rules of thumb, each device connected to the
DDC bus presents approximately 10pF of capacitive loading, and
each inch of FR4 PCB trace introduces approximately 2pF. The
ideal design uses a central pull-up resistor that is well-matched
to the total load capacitance. The minimum pull-up resistance
11
Fault Spreading
Digital DC modules and devices can be configured to broadcast a
fault event over the DDC bus to the other devices in the group.
When a non-destructive fault occurs and the device is configured
to shut down on a fault, the device shuts down and broadcasts
the fault event over the DDC bus. The other devices on the DDC
bus shut down simultaneously, if configured to do so, and
attempt to re-start in their prescribed order, if configured to
do so.
Active Current Sharing
Paralleling multiple ZL9117M modules can be used to increase
the output current capability of a single power rail. By connecting
the DDC pins of each module together and configuring the
modules as a current sharing rail, the units share the current
equally within a few percent. Figure 14 illustrates a typical
connection for two modules.
FN7914.1

The ISHARE_CONFIG command is used to configure the module

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 continue to operate and attempt to
maintain regulation. Of the remaining modules, the module with
the lowest member position becomes the reference. If fault
spreading is enabled, the current share rail failure is not
broadcast until the entire current share rail fails.

FIGURE 14. CURRENT SHARING GROUP
The ZL9117M uses a low-bandwidth, first-order digital current
sharing technique to balance the unequal module output loading
by aligning the load lines of member modules to a reference
module.
Droop resistance is used to add artificial resistance in the output
voltage path to control the slope of the load line curve,
calibrating out the physical parasitic mismatches due to power
train components and PCB layout.
Upon system start-up, the module with the lowest member
position as selected in ISHARE_CONFIG is defined as the
reference module. The remaining modules are members. The
reference module broadcasts its current over the DDC bus. The
members use the reference current information to trim their
voltages (VMEMBER) to balance the current loading of each
module in the system.
(EQ. 3)
Please refer to Application Note AN2034 for additional details on
current sharing.
Phase Adding/Dropping
The ZL9117M allows multiple power converters to be connected
in parallel to supply higher load currents than can be addressed
using a single-phase design. In doing so, the power converter is
optimized at a load current range that requires all phases to be
operational. During periods of light loading, it may be beneficial
to disable one or more phases to eliminate the current drain and
switching losses associated with those phases, resulting in
higher efficiency.
The ZL9117M offers the ability to add and drop phases using a
PMBus command in response to an observed load current
change. All phases in a current share rail are considered active
prior to the current sharing rail ramp to power-good.
Any member of the current sharing rail can be dropped. If the
reference module is dropped, the remaining active module with
the lowest member position becomes the new reference.

The phase offset of (multi-phase) current sharing modules is

sharing rail will precipitate autonomous phase distribution within
the rail where all active phases realign their phase position

Snapshot Parameter Capture
The ZL9117M offers a special feature that enables the user to
capture parametric data during normal operation or following a
fault. The SnapShot functionality is enabled by setting bit 1 of
MISC_CONFIG to 1.
See AN2033 for details on using SnapShot in addition to the
parameters supported. The SnapShot feature enables the user to
read parameters 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 occupies the SMBus for some
time.
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. Table 3 describes the usage
of this command. Automatic writes to Flash memory following a
fault are triggered when any fault threshold level is exceeded,
provided that the specific fault’s response is to shut down
(writing to Flash memory is not allowed if the device is configured
to re-try following the specific fault condition). It should also be
noted that the module’s VDD voltage must be maintained during
the time when the controller is writing the data to Flash memory;
a process that requires between 700µs to 1400µs, depending on
whether the data is set up for a block write. Undesirable results
may be observed if the device’s VDD supply drops below 3.0V
during this process.
2. User Store: The user can modify certain power supply settings
as described in this data sheet. The user stores their
configuration in the user store.
Please refer to Application Note AN2033 for details on how to set
specific security measures via the I2C/SMBus interface.
Layout Guide
To achieve stable operation, low losses, and good thermal
performance some layout considerations are necessary.
• Establish a continuous ground plane connecting SGND (pin 9),
PGND (pin 10), and PGND (pin 16).
• Place a high frequency ceramic capacitor between (1) VIN and
PGND (pin 16), (2) VOUT and PGND (pin 16) and (3) bypass
capacitors between VDRV, VDD, V25, VR and the ground plane,
as close to the module as possible to minimize high frequency
noise. High frequency ceramic capacitors close to the module
between VOUT and PGND will help to minimize noise at the
output ripple.
• Use large copper areas for power path (VIN, PGND, VOUT) to
minimize conduction loss and thermal stress. Also, use
multiple vias to connect the power planes in different layers.
• Connect remote sensed traces to the regulation point to
achieve a tight output voltage regulation, and keep them in
parallel. Route a trace from FB- to a location near the load
ground, and a trace from FB+ to the point-of-load where the
tight output voltage is desired.
• Avoid routing any sensitive signal traces, such as the VOUT,
FB+, FB- sensing point near the PHASE pin.
TABLE 3. SNAPSHOT_CONTROL COMMAND
CVR
If the module experiences a fault and power is lost, the user can
extract the last SnapShot parameters stored during the fault by

memory to RAM) and then issuing a SNAPSHOT command (reads
data from RAM via SMBus).

Thermal Considerations
Stencil Pattern Design
Experimental power loss curves along with θJA from thermal
modeling analysis can be used to evaluate the thermal
consideration for the module. The derating curves are derived
from the maximum power allowed while maintaining the
temperature below the maximum junction temperature of
+125°C. In actual application, other heat sources and design
margin should be considered.
Reflowed solder joints on the perimeter I/O lands should have
about a 50µm to 75µm (2mil to 3mil) standoff height. The solder
paste stencil design is the first step in developing optimized,
reliable solder joins. Stencil aperture size to land size ratio should
typically be 1:1. The aperture width may be reduced slightly to help
prevent solder bridging between adjacent I/O lands. To reduce
solder paste volume on the larger thermal lands, it is
recommended that an array of smaller apertures be used instead
of one large aperture. It is recommended that the stencil printing
area cover 50% to 80% of the PCB layout pattern. A typical solder
stencil pattern is shown on the second page of the Package
Outline Drawing L21.15x15 on page 17. The gap width between
pad to pad is 0.6mm. The user should consider the symmetry of
the whole stencil pattern when designing its pads. A laser cut,
stainless steel stencil with electropolished trapezoidal walls is
recommended. Electropolishing “smooths” the aperture walls
resulting in reduced surface friction and better paste release which
reduces voids. Using a Trapezoidal Section Aperture (TSA) also
promotes paste release and forms a "brick like" paste deposit that
assists in firm component placement. A 0.1mm to 0.15mm stencil
thickness is recommended for this large pitch (1.3mm) QFN.
The structure of the ZL9117M belongs to the Quad Flat-pack
No-lead package (QFN). This kind of package has advantages,
such as good thermal and electrical conductivity, low weight and
small size. The QFN package is applicable for surface mounting
technology and is being more readily used in the industry. The
ZL9117M contains several types of devices, including resistors,
capacitors, inductors and control ICs. The ZL9117M is a copper
lead-frame based package with exposed copper thermal pads,
which have good electrical and thermal conductivity. The copper
lead frame and multi component assembly is overmolded with
polymer mold compound to protect these devices.
The package outline and typical PCB layout pattern design and
typical stencil pattern design are shown on the second page of
the package outline drawing L21.15x15 on page 17. The module
has a small size of 15mm x 15mm x 3.5mm. Figure 17 shows
typical reflow profile parameters. These guidelines are general
design rules. Users could modify parameters according to their
application.
PCB Layout Pattern Design
The bottom of ZL9117M is a lead-frame footprint, which is
attached to the PCB by surface mounting process. The PCB
layout pattern is shown on the second page of the Package
Outline Drawing L21.15x15 on page 17. The PCB layout pattern is
essentially 1:1 with the QFN exposed pad and I/O termination
dimensions, except for the PCB lands being a slightly extended
distance of 0.2mm (0.4mm max) longer than the QFN
terminations, which allows for solder filleting around the
periphery of the package. This ensures a more complete and
inspectable solder joint. The thermal lands on the PCB layout
should match 1:1 with the package exposed die pads.
Thermal Vias
A grid of 1.0mm to 1.2mm pitch thermal vias, which drops down
and connects to buried copper plane(s), should be placed under the
thermal land. The vias should be about 0.3mm to 0.33mm in
diameter with the barrel plated to about 1.0 ounce copper.
Although adding more vias (by decreasing via pitch) will improve
the thermal performance, diminishing returns will be seen as more
and more vias are added. Simply use as many vias as practical for
the thermal land size and your board design rules allow.

Reflow Parameters
Due to the low mount height of the QFN, "No Clean" Type 3 solder
paste per ANSI/J-STD-005 is recommended. Nitrogen purge is
also recommended during reflow. A system board reflow profile
depends on the thermal mass of the entire populated board, so it
is not practical to define a specific soldering profile just for the
QFN. The profile given in Figure 17 is provided as a guideline, to
be customized for varying manufacturing practices and
applications.
