Dual Channel/Dual Phase PMBus™ ChargeMode™
Control DC/DC Digital Controller
ZL8802
Features
The ZL8802 is a dual output or dual phase digital DC/DC
controller. Each output can operate independently or be used
together in a dual phase configuration for high current
applications supporting 2-, 4-, 6- and 8-phase operation with
up to four ZL8802s.
• Unique compensation-free design – always stable
The ZL8802 supports a wide range of output voltages
(0.54V to 5.5V) operating from input voltages as low as 4.5V
up to 14V.
• ChargeMode control achieves fast transient response,
reduced output capacitance and provides output stability
without compensation.
With the fully digital ChargeMode control, the ZL8802 will
respond to a transient load step within a single switching cycle.
This unique compensation-free modulation technique allows
designs to meet transient specifications with minimum output
capacitance, thus saving cost and board space.
• 2-channel output, 2-, 4-, 6- or 8-phase output with 2, 3 or 4
devices
Intersil’s proprietary single-wire DDC (Digital-DC™) serial bus
enables the ZL8802 to communicate between other Intersil
digital power ICs. By using the DDC, the ZL8802 achieves
complex functions such as inter-IC phase current balancing,
sequencing and fault spreading. This eliminates complicated
power supply managers with numerous external discrete
components.
The ZL8802 features fast output overcurrent protection. The
input voltage, output voltages and DrMOS/MOSFET driver
supply voltages are overvoltage and undervoltage protected.
Two external and one internal temperature sensors are
available for temperature monitoring, one of which can be
configured for under- and over-temperature protection. A
snapshot parametric capture feature allows users to take a
snapshot of operating and fault data during normal or fault
conditions.
Integrated Low Dropout (LDO) regulators allow the ZL8802 to
operate from a single input supply eliminating the need for
additional linear regulators. The VDRV LDO output can be used
to power external drivers or DrMOS devices.
• Output voltage range: 0.54V to 5.5V
• Input voltage range: 4.5V to 14V
• 1% output voltage accuracy over line, load and temperature
• Switching frequency range 200kHz to 1.33MHz
• Proprietary single-wire DDC (Digital-DC) serial bus enables
voltage sequencing and fault spreading with other Intersil
digital power ICs
• Inductor peak and averaged over and undercurrent
protection
• Digital fault protection for output voltage UV/OV, input
voltage UV/OV, temperature and MOSFET driver voltage
• Accurate average output current measurement with
adjustable gain settings for sensing with SPS current
monitor outputs or high current, low DCR inductors
• Monitor ADC measures input voltage, input current, output
voltage, driver voltage, internal and external temperature
• Nonvolatile memory for storing operating parameters and
fault events
• PMBus™ compliant
Applications
• Servers/storage equipment
• Telecom/datacom equipment
• Power supplies (memory, DSP, ASIC, FPGA)
With full PMBus™ compliance, the ZL8802 is capable of
measuring and reporting input voltage, input current, output
voltage, output current as well as the device’s internal
temperature, 2 external temperatures and an auxiliary voltage
or temperature input.

ZL8802
ZL8802 Overview
Digital-DC Architecture Overview
The ZL8802 is an innovative mixed-signal power conversion and
power management IC based on Intersil patented Digital-DC
technology that provides an integrated, high performance
step-down converter for a wide variety of power supply
applications.
The ZL8802 DC/DC controller is a dual channel, dual phase
controller based on an architecture that does not require loop
compensation.
The ZL8802s full digital loop achieves precise control of the
entire power conversion process with no software required
resulting in a very flexible device that is also very easy to use. The
ChargeMode control algorithm is implemented to respond to
output current changes within a single PWM switching cycle. This
achieves a smaller total output voltage variation with less output
capacitance than traditional PWM controllers. An extensive set of
power management functions are fully integrated and can be
configured using simple pin connections. The user configuration
can be saved in an internal Nonvolatile Memory (NVRAM).
Additionally, all functions can be configured and monitored via
the SMBus hardware interface using standard PMBus™
commands, allowing ultimate flexibility. The ZL8802 is compliant
with the PMBus™ Power System Management Protocol
Specification Part I and II version 1.2.
Once enabled, the ZL8802 is immediately ready to regulate
power and perform power management tasks with no
programming required. Advanced configuration options and
real-time configuration changes are available via PMBus™
commands if desired and continuous monitoring of multiple
operating parameters is possible with minimal interaction from a
host controller. Integrated subregulation circuitry enables single
supply operation from any supply between 4.5V and 14V with no
bias supplies needed.
The ZL8802 can be configured by simply connecting its pins
according to the tables provided in the following sections.
Additionally, a comprehensive set of online tools and application
notes are available to help simplify the design process. An
evaluation board is also available to help the user become
familiar with the device. This board can be evaluated as a
standalone platform using pin configuration settings.
PowerNavigator™, a Windows based GUI is also provided to
enable full configuration and monitoring capability via the
PMBus interface and the included USB cable.
Power Management Overview
The ZL8802 incorporates a wide range of configurable power
management features that are simple to implement with no
external components. Additionally, the ZL8802 includes circuit
protection features that continuously safeguard the device and
load from damage due to unexpected system faults. The ZL8802
can continuously monitor input voltage and current, output
voltage and current, internal temperature and the temperature of
2 external thermal diodes. A power-good output signal is also
included to enable power-on reset functionality for an external
processor.

11
All power management functions can be configured using either
pin configuration techniques described in this document or via
the SMBus interface using PMBus™ commands. Monitoring
parameters can also be preconfigured to provide alerts for
specific conditions. The “PMBus™ Command Summary” on
page 22 contains a listing of all the PMBus™ commands
supported by the ZL8802 and a detailed description of the use of
each of these commands.
Pin-Strap Pins
In order to simplify circuit design, the ZL8802 incorporates
patented pin-strap pins that allow the user to easily configure
many aspects of the device with no programming. Most power
management features can be configured using these pins. The
pin-strap pins will read the value of the resistor connected to
those pins when power is applied to the device and set certain
device configuration settings as specified by those resistor
values.

Set by resistor value
Device configuration settings are made when connecting a finite
value resistor (in a specified range) between the pin-strap pin and
SGND. Standard 1% resistor values are used, and only every
fourth E96 resistor value is used so the device can reliably
recognize the value of resistance connected to the pin while
eliminating the error associated with the resistor accuracy. Up to
31 unique selections are available using a single resistor.
SMBus: Almost any ZL8802 function can be configured via the
SMBus interface using standard PMBus™ commands.
Additionally, any value that has been configured using the
pin-strap setting method can also be reconfigured and/or verified
via the SMBus. “PMBus™ Command Detail” on page 27 explains
the use of the PMBus™ commands in detail.
FN8760.1
December 11, 2015
ZL8802
Configurable Pins
Numerous operating parameters can be set using the pin-strap
resistor setting method: SMBus address (pin 5, SA), output
voltage (pins 10 and 11, VSET0, 1), switching frequency (pin 44,
SYNC), input voltage undervoltage lockout (pin 13, UVLO). ASCR
gain is set by ASCRCFG (pin 8). CFG (pin 9) sets the power stage
settings such as over and undercurrent limits.
The SMBus device address is the only parameter that must be
set by a pin-strap setting pin. All other device parameters can be
set via the PMBus™. The device address is set using the SA pin.
Output Voltage and VOUT_MAX Selection
(VSET0, 1)
The output voltage may be set to any voltage between 0.54V and
5.5V provided that the input voltage is higher than the desired
output voltage by at least 1.1V. Using the pin-strap method, VOUT
can be set to any of the voltages shown in Table 4. VOUT can also
be set using a PMBus™ command. VOUT_MAX is also
determined by this pin-strap setting, and is 15% greater than the
VSET0 and VSET1 voltage settings by default, however,
VOUT_MAX can be changed via the PMBus.
TABLE 4.
SMBus Device Address Selection (SA)
When communicating with multiple SMBus devices using the
SMBus interface, each device must have its own unique address
so the host can distinguish between the devices. The device
address can be set according to the pin-strap options listed in
Table 3. When operating in 2-channel mode, care must be taken
when using sequential PMBus addresses. Since DDC addresses
are automatically set using the PMBus address, it is possible for
a device with a PMBus address immediately after a 2-channel
ZL8802 to be automatically configured with the same DDC
address as one of the ZL8802 channels, which could cause
unintended operating modes. For this reason, do not use the next
higher PMBus address when using the ZL8802 as a 2-channel
device. See PMBus command “DDC_CONFIG (D3h)” on page 65
for details. The SMBus address cannot be changed with a
PMBus™ command.

The device’s switching frequency is set from 200kHz to 1333kHz
using the pin-strap method as shown in Table 5, or by using a
PMBus™ command. The ZL8802 generates the device switching
frequency by dividing an internal precision 16MHz clock by
integers from 11 to 80. 500kHz (n = 32) and 1000kHz (n = 16)
are not recommended operating frequencies; use 533kHz and
1067kHz for best performance.

The ZL8802 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 for
other Intersil digital power devices.
By default, the SYNC pin is configured as an input. The device will
automatically check for a clock signal on the SYNC pin each time
EN is asserted. The ZL8802’s oscillator will then synchronize with
the rising edge of the external clock.
The incoming clock signal must be in the range of 200kHz to
1.33MHz and must be stable when the enable pin (EN0, EN1) is
asserted. When using an external clock, the frequencies are not
limited to discrete values as when using the internal clock. The
external clock signal must not vary more than 10% from its initial
value and should have a minimum pulse width of 150ns. In the
event of a loss of the external clock signal, the output voltage
may show transient overshoot or undershoot.
If loss of synchronization occurs, the ZL8802 will automatically
switch to its internal oscillator and switch at its programmed
frequency.
When used in a multiphase (4-, 6- and 8-phase) application, the
SYNC pin of one of the devices must be configured as an output.
The device will run from its internal oscillator and will drive the
SYNC pin so other devices can be synchronized to it. The SYNC
pin will not be checked for an incoming clock signal while in this
mode.
The switching frequency can be set to any value between 200kHz
and 1.33MHz using a PMBus™ command. The available
frequencies below 1.33MHz are defined by fSW = 16MHz/N,
where 12 ≤ N ≤ 80.
If a value other than fSW = 16MHz/N is entered using a PMBus™
command, the internal circuitry will select the switching
frequency value using N as a whole number to achieve a value
close to the entered value. For example, if 810kHz is entered, the
device will select 800kHz (N = 20).

Once an input undervoltage fault condition occurs, the user may
determine the desired response to the fault condition. The
following input undervoltage protection response options are
available:
1. Shut down and stay off until the fault has cleared and the
device has been disabled and reenabled.
2. Shut down and restart continuously after a delay.
Refer to “PMBus™ Command Detail” on page 27 for details on
how to select specific overvoltage fault response options using
the VIN_UV_FAULT_RESPONSE command.
When controlling the ZL8802 exclusively through the PMBus™, a
high voltage setting for UVLO can be used to prevent the ZL8802
from being enabled until a lower voltage for UVLO is set using the
VIN_UV_FAULT_LIMIT command.
Configuration Setting (CFG)
The Configuration pin (CFG) sets several device configuration
settings allowing the device to be used in applications without the
need for loading configuration files. The settings are shown in
Table 7. When using the ZL8802 in a 4-phase application, the
master device address must be 1 higher than the slave address.
This must be done in order for the 2 devices to be recognized as
part of a current sharing group. See PMBus command
“DDC_CONFIG (D3h)” on page 65 for details.

the input supply is out of its specified range. The input voltage
undervoltage lockout threshold can be set between 4.18V and 16V
using the pin-strap method as shown in Table 6. UVLO can also be

Start-Up and Shutdown Settings
The device’s start-up and shutdown settings can be set by using
the following PMBus Commands:
TON_DELAY: Sets the time from a low to high EN0 or EN1
transition, or the receipt of an OPERATION command via the
PMBus, to the start of an output voltage ramp.
TON_RISE: Sets the time from the end of the TON_DELAY to the
output voltage reaching regulation.
TOFF_DELAY: Sets the time from a high to low EN0 or EN1
transition, or the receipt of an OPERATION command via the
PMBus, to the start of an output voltage ramp down.
TOFF_FALL: Sets the time from the end of the TOFF_DELAY to the
output voltage reaching 0V.
Note that in the case of 2-channel operation, these settings will
apply to both channels. Each channel can be configured to have
different settings by using the TON_DELAY, TON_RISE,
TOFF_DELAY and TOFF_FALL PMBus commands.
Internal Bias Regulators and Input Supply
Connections
The ZL8802 employs internal Low Dropout (LDO) regulators to
supply bias voltages for internal circuitry, allowing it to operate
from a single input supply. The internal bias regulators are as
follows:
VR6: The VR6 LDO provides a regulated 6.1V bias supply for
internal circuitry. It is powered from the VDD pin. A 4.7µF
ceramic X7R filter capacitor to SGND is required at the VR6 pin.
Keep this net as small as possible and avoid routing this trace
near any switching signals.
VR5: The VR5 LDO provides a regulated 5.1V bias supply for
internal circuitry. It is powered from the VDD pin. A 4.7µF
ceramic X7R filter capacitor to SGND is required at the VR5 pin.
This supply may be used for to provide a pull-up supply as long as
load current does not exceed 5mA.
FN8760.1
December 11, 2015
ZL8802
V25: The V25 LDO provides a regulated 2.5V bias supply for the
main controller circuitry. It is powered from an internal 5V node.
A 4.7µF ceramic X7R filter capacitor to SGND is required at the
V25 pin. This voltage should only be used to set pin-strap pins to
the HIGH state.
VDRV: The VDRV LDO provides a regulated 5.25V bias supply for
external MOSFET driver ICs or DrMOS integrated drivers/FETs. A
4.7µF ceramic X7R filter capacitor to PGND is required, however,
additional capacitance will be needed as specified by the
MOSFET driver or DrMOS device selected. The maximum rated
output current is 80mA, but device thermal limits must be
considered. The power dissipated by the VDRV supply will be
(VIN-5.25V) X IDRV, where IDRV is the current supplied by the
VDRV bias supply. VDRV is enabled by leaving the VDRVEN
unconnected (floating) or connecting it to VR5, and is disabled by
connecting VDRVEN to ground.
NOTE: The internal bias regulators, VR6, VR5 and V25, are not
designed to be outputs for powering other circuitry. The
multimode pins may be connected to the V25 pin for logic HIGH
settings, and the VR5 supply can be used to provide up to 5mA of
pull-up current for the SDA, SCL, SALRT, DDC and PG pins.
Operation with 5V VDD: When operating the ZL8802 at voltages
below 5.5V, the VR6 and VR5 supplies should be connected
directly to VDD for best performance. The VDRV supply should
not be used; the 5V VDD supply should be used instead for
powering DrMOS and MOSFET driver ICs.

Start-Up Procedure
The ZL8802 follows a specific internal start-up procedure after
power is applied to the VDD pin, as shown in Figure 5.
The device requires approximately 60ms to check for specific
values stored in its internal memory. If the user has stored values
in memory, those values will be loaded.
Once this process is completed, the device is ready to accept
commands via the serial interface and the device is ready to be
enabled. If the device is to be synchronized to an external clock
source, the clock frequency must be stable prior to asserting the
EN pin. Once enabled, the device requires approximately 2ms
before its output voltage may be allowed to start its ramp-up
process.

VIN should be above the ZL8802’s UVLO limit
(VIN_UV_FAULT_LIMIT) before the Enable pin is driven high.
Following this sequence will result in the most consistent turn-on
delays. If a configuration file is needed to ensure proper circuit
operation, when VIN is first applied to the ZL8802, for example,
during initial PCB turn-on and test, the Enable pin must be held
low by some means until the ZL8802 configuration file can be
loaded. If the Enable pin is not held low, then the ZL8802 may
attempt to turn on with incorrect configuration settings, possibly
causing circuit failure.
In those cases where a configuration file is needed to ensure
proper circuit operation and the Enable pin cannot be held low
during the initial application of power, two options are available:
1. Limit VIN to 3.0V during initial testing. The ZL8802
configuration file can be loaded when VIN is as low as 3.0V.
Once the configuration file is loaded VIN can be increased to
the normal input voltage range.
2. Use a 100kΩ pin-strap resistor to set UVLO to 16V. This will
keep the ZL8802 disabled while the configuration file is
loaded. Ensure that the VIN_UV_FAULT_LIMIT command is the
last command in the configuration file.
Ton-Delay and Rise Times
Ton- and Toff-delay and Ramp times are initially set to 5ms. In
some applications, 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 inrush current management strategy or
to precisely control how fast a load IC is turned on. The ZL8802
gives the system designer several options for precisely and
independently controlling both the delay and ramp time periods.
The Ton-delay time begins when the EN pin is asserted. The
Ton-delay time is set using the PMBus™ command TON_DELAY.
The Ton-rise time enables a precisely controlled ramp to the
nominal VOUT value that begins once the Ton-delay time has
expired. The ramp-up is monotonic and its slope may be precisely
set using the PMBus™ command TON_RISE.
FN8760.1

ZL8802
The Ton-delay and Ton-ramp times can be set using PMBus™
commands TON_DELAY and TON_RISE over the serial bus
interface. When the Ton-delay time is set to 0ms, the device will
begin its ramp after the internal circuitry has initialized
The Ton-delay and Ton-ramp times can be set using PMBus™
commands TON_DELAY and TON_RISE over the serial bus
interface. When the Ton-delay time is set to 0ms, the device will
begin its ramp after the internal circuitry has initialized which takes
approximately 2ms to complete. The Ton-rise time may be set to
values less than 2ms, however the Ton-rise time should be set to a
value greater than 500µs to prevent inadvertent fault conditions
due to excessive inrush current. A lower Ton-rise time limit can be
estimated using the formula: Ton-rise = COUT*VOUT/ILIMIT where
COUT is the total output capacitance, VOUT is the output voltage
and ILIMIT is the current limit setting for the ZL8802.
When interdevice current sharing is used (4 phases), the output
voltage rise time will vary by application. The rise time in this
case can be adjusted using the PMBus command
MULTI_PHASE_RAMP_GAIN. Higher gain values produce faster
turn-on ramps. Typical MULTI_PHASE_RAMP_GAIN values range
between 1 and 10; the default value is 3. The slew rate of the
output voltage during ramp-up is directly proportional to this
gain, as well as the input voltage (VIN) and the device switching
frequency (FREQUENCY_SWITCH). The slew rate of the output
voltage during turn-on can be calculated with the following
formula:
Slew Rate (mV/ms) = 14*(VIN)*(MULTI_PHASE_RAMP_GAIN) *
(FREQUENCY_SWITCH in MHz)
The resulting total rise time can then be calculated:
Rise Time = Output Voltage/Slew Rate
Enable Pin Operation and Timing
The enable pins (EN0 and EN1) are used to enable and disable
each channel of the ZL8802. When operated as a 2-phase
converter, use EN0 and ground EN1. The enable pins should be
held low whenever a configuration file or script is used to
configure the ZL8802, or a PMBus™ command is sent that could
potentially damage the application circuit. When the ZL8802 is
used in a self-enabled mode, for example, when EN0 or EN1 is
tied to VR5, or to a resistor divider to VIN, the user must consider
the ZL8802's default factory settings. When a configuration file
is used to configure the ZL8802, the factory default settings are
restored to both the user and default stores in order to set the
ZL8802 to an initialized state. Since the default state of the
ZL8802 is to be enabled when the enable pin is high, it is
possible for the ZL8802 to be enabled while the PMBus™
commands are sent to the ZL8802 during the configuration
process.
The Enable pin is edge triggered to achieve fast turn-off times. As
a result, minimum Enable high and Enable low pulse widths must
be observed to ensure correct operation. The minimum high and
low pulse widths are dependent on the configured rise, fall and
delay times and can be calculated using Equations 1 and 2:
EN low  TOFF_DELAY + TOFF_FALL + 10.5ms
(EQ. 1)
EN high  TON_DELAY + TON_RISE +
POWER_GOOD_DELAY + 5.5ms
(EQ. 2)
Submit Document Feedback
16
EN low and EN high times shorter than these minimums may
result in the device not responding to the trailing edge of the
pulse. For example, a EN low pulse below the EN low minimum
pulse width may stay in the OFF state until a valid EN low pulse is
applied to the EN pin.
Power-Good
The ZL8802 provides a power-good (PG0, PG1) signal for each
channel that indicates the output voltage is within a specified
tolerance of its target level and no fault condition exists. By
default, the PG pin will assert if the output is within 10% of the
target voltage. These limits and the polarity of the pin may be
changed using PMBus™ commands.
A PG delay period is defined as the time from when all conditions
within the ZL8802 for asserting PG are met to when the PG pin is
actually asserted. This feature is commonly used instead of using
an external reset controller to control external digital logic. By
default, the ZL8802 PG delay is set equal to 1ms. The PG delay
may be set using a PMBus™ command as described in
“POWER_GOOD_DELAY (D4h)” on page 66.
Power Management Functional
Description
Output Overvoltage Protection
The ZL8802 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 VSEN pin) to a programmable threshold set
to 10% higher than the target output voltage (the default setting).
If the VSEN voltage exceeds this threshold, the PG pin will
deassert and the device can then respond in the following ways:
1. Shut down and stay off until the fault has cleared and the
device has been disabled and reenabled.
2. Shut down, and when the fault is no longer present, attempt
to restart.
Refer to “VOUT_OV_FAULT_RESPONSE (41h)” on page 37 for
details on how to select specific overvoltage fault response
options using the VOUT_OV_FAULT_RESPONSE command.
Output Prebias Protection
The ZL8802 provides prebiased start-up operation in 2-channel
and single device 2-phase operation. Prebias protection is not
provided when operating in current sharing 4-, 6- or 8-phase
configurations. An output prebias 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 prebias condition exists at the output.
The ZL8802 provides prebias protection by sampling the output
voltage prior to initiating an output ramp.
If a prebias voltage lower than the desired output voltage is
present after the Ton-delay time the ZL8802 starts switching
with a duty cycle that matches the prebias voltage. This ensures
that the ramp-up from the prebias voltage is monotonic. The
FN8760.1

output voltage is then ramped to the desired output voltage at
the ramp rate set by the TON_RISE command.
The resulting output voltage rise time will vary depending on the
prebias voltage, but the total time elapsed from the end of the
Ton-delay time to when the Ton-rise time is complete and the
output is at the desired value will match the preconfigured ramp
time (see Figure 6).
VOUT
SPS CURRENT SENSING
By default, the ZL8802 senses current by utilizing the IMON
output from the ISL9922X Smart Power Stage (SPS). A 6:1
resistor divider is needed between the SPS IMON output and the
ISENA and ISENB inputs of the ZL8802, as shown in Figure 7.
Using an ISL9922x device will provide the best current sense
accuracy with no action needed from the user.

Output Overcurrent Protection
The ZL8802 can protect the power supply from damage from an
overloaded or shorted output. Once the current limit threshold
has been selected (see “Current Limit Configuration” on
page 18), the user may determine the desired response to the
fault condition. The following overcurrent protection response
options are available:
1. Shut down and stay off until the device has been disabled and
reenabled.
2. Shut down and restart continuously after a delay.

Current Limit Configuration
Thermal Overload Protection
The ZL8802 gives the power supply designer several choices for
the fault response during over or undercurrent condition. The
user can select the number of violations allowed before declaring
fault, a blanking time and the action taken when a fault is
detected. These parameters can be configured using the
ISENSE_CONFIG command.
The ZL8802 includes an on-chip thermal sensor that continuously
measures the internal temperature of the die. This thermal sensor
is used to provide both over-temperature and under-temperature
protection. If the over-temperature limit is exceeded, or the
temperature falls below the under-temperature limit, the ZL8802
is shut down. The over-temperature and under-temperature limits
are set by the OT_FAULT_LIMIT and UT_FAULT_LIMIT respectively.
The ZL8802 will not attempt to restart until the temperature has
fallen below the OT_WARN_LIMIT for over-temperature faults or
has risen above the UT_WARN_LIMIT for under-temperature faults.
The default temperature limits are +125°C and -45°C, but the
user may set the limits to different values if desired. Note that
setting a higher over-temperature or under-temperature limit may
result in permanent damage to the device. Once the device has
been disabled due to an internal temperature fault, the user may
select one of several fault response options as follows:
The blanking time represents the time when no current
measurement is taken. This is to avoid taking a reading just after
a current load step (less accurate due to potential ringing). It is a
configurable parameter from 0 to 832ns.
ZL8802 provides an adjustable maximum full scale sensing
range. Three ranges are available: ±25mV, ±35mV and ±50mV
maximum input voltage.
By default, current sensing is enabled during the inductor current
down-slope period of the switching period (D’). In applications
where the steady state duty cycle is >0.5, for example, a 5V to
3.3V converter, the ZL8802 can be configured to sense current
during the inductor up-slope period of the switching cycle (D).
1. Shut down and stay off until the fault has cleared and the
device has been disabled and reenabled.
2. Shut down and restart continuously after a delay.
The user has the option of selecting how many consecutive
overcurrent readings must occur before an overcurrent fault and
subsequent shutdown are initiated. Either 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 or 13
consecutive faults can be selected.
Refer to “PMBus™ Command Detail” on page 27 for details on
how to select specific overvoltage fault response options using
the OT_FAULT_RESPONSE and UT_FAULT_ RESPONSE
commands.
The current limit thresholds are set with 4 commands:
Voltage Tracking
1. IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT – This sets the overcurrent threshold
that must be exceeded by the number of consecutive times
chosen in ISENSE_CONFIG.
2. IOUT_UC_FAULT_LIMIT – This is the same as
IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT, but represents the negative current
that flows lower FET during the D’ interval. Large negative
currents can flow during faults such as a higher voltage rail
being shorted to a lower voltage rail.
3. IOUT_AVG_OC_FAULT_LIMIT – This limit is similar to
IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT, but the limit represents an average
reading over several switching cycles. Since it is an average,
the response time is slower, but the limit can be set closer to
the maximum average expected output current.
4. IOUT_AVG_UC_FAULT_LIMIT – This limit is similar to
IOUT_AVG_OC_FAULT_LIMIT, but represents the negative
current that flows lower FET during the D’ interval.
Input Current Monitor
The input current can be monitored through the IINN and IINP
pins. The input current monitor input should be connected across
a current sensing resistor in series with the input supply. The IINP
pin is connected to the input supply side of the current sense
resistor and the IINN pin is connected to the ZL8802 VDD side of
the current sense resistor. Using the IIN_SCALE command, set
the current sense resistor value. Select the current sense resistor
value such that the maximum expected input current times the
current sense resistor value does not exceed the maximum
current sensing input voltage of 20mV.
If this feature is not used, IINN and IINP should be tied to VDD.

Numerous high performance systems place stringent demands
on the order in which the power supply voltages are turned on.
This is particularly true when powering FPGAs, ASICs and other
advanced processor devices that require multiple supply voltages
to power a single die. In most cases, the I/O interface operates at
a higher voltage than the core and therefore the core supply
voltage must not exceed the I/O supply voltage according to the
manufacturers' specifications.
The ZL8802 integrates a tracking scheme that allows one of its
outputs (Channel 0 or Channel 1), or the single output in a dual
phase application, to track a voltage that is applied to the VTRK
pin with no external components required. The VTRK pin is an
analog input that, when tracking mode is enabled, configures the
voltage applied to the VTRK pin to act as a reference for the
device’s output regulation.
Coincident. This mode configures the ZL8802 to ramp its output
voltage at the same rate as the voltage applied to the VTRK pin
until it reaches its desired output voltage. The device that is
tracking another output voltage (slave) must be set to its desired
steady state output voltage, i.e., VOUT_COMMAND is set to the
final output voltage.
Ratiometric. This mode configures the ZL8802 to ramp its output
voltage at a rate that is a percentage of the voltage applied to the
VTRK pin. The default setting is 50%, but an external resistor
string may be used to configure a different tracking ratio. The
device that is tracking another output voltage (slave) must be set
to its desired steady-state output voltage, i.e., VOUT_COMMAND
is set to the final output voltage.
The master ZL8802 device in a tracking group is defined as the
device that has the highest target output voltage within the
group. This master device will control the ramp rate of all
FN8760.1
December 11, 2015
ZL8802
tracking devices and is not configured for tracking mode. The
maximum tracking rise time is 1V/ms. The slave device must be
enabled before the master.
Any device that is configured for tracking mode will ignore its
Ton-delay and Ton-rise settings and its output will take on the
turn-on/turn-off characteristics of the reference voltage present
at the VTRK pin.
Tracking mode can be configured by using the TRACK_CONFIG
command.
Note that current sharing groups that are also configured to track
another voltage do not offer prebias protection; a minimum load
should therefore be enforced to avoid the output voltage from
being held up by an outside force.

External Voltage Monitoring
The voltage monitoring (TMON) pin is available to monitor the
voltage supply for the external driver IC. The TMON input must be
scaled by a 16:1 ratio in order to read-back the TMON voltage
correctly. A 100kΩ and 6.65kΩ resistor divider is recommended.
Overvoltage and undervoltage fault thresholds can be set using
MFR_TMON_OV_FAULT_LIMIT and MFR_ TMON_UV_FAULT_LIMIT
commands. The response to these limits are set using the
TMON_OV_FAULT_RESPONSE and TMON_ UV_FAULT_RESPONSE
commands. To ignore the TMON input, set the TMON_OV and
_UV_FAULT_RESPONSEs to 00h.
Once the device has been disabled due to TMON fault, the user
may select one of several fault response options as follows:
1. Shut down and stay off until the fault has cleared and the
device has been disabled and reenabled.
2. Shut down and restart continuously after a delay.
SMBus Communications
The ZL8802 provides a SMBus digital interface. The ZL8802 can
be used with any standard 2-wire SMBus host device. In addition,
the device is compatible with SMBus version 2.0 and includes an
Submit Document Feedback
19
SALRT line to help mitigate bandwidth limitations related to
continuous fault monitoring. Pull-up resistors are required on the
SMBus. The pull-up resistor may be tied to VR5 or to an external
3.3V or 5V supply as long as this voltage is present prior to or
during device power-up. The ideal design will use a central pull-up
resistor that is well-matched to the total load capacitance. The
minimum pull-up resistance should be limited to a value that
enables any device to assert the bus to a voltage that will ensure
a logic 0 (typically 0.8V at the device monitoring point) given the
pull-up voltage (5V if tied to VR5) and the pull-down current
capability of the ZL8802 (nominally 4mA). A pull-up resistor of
10kΩ is a good value for most applications.
SMBus data and clock lines should be routed with a closely
coupled return or ground plane to minimize coupled interference
(noise). Excessive noise on the data and clock lines that cause
the voltage on these lines to cross the high and low logic
thresholds of 2.0V and 0.8V respectively will cause command
transmissions to be interrupted and result in slow bus operation
or missed commands. For less than 10 devices on an SMBus a
10kΩ resistor on each line provides good performance.
The ZL8802 accepts most standard PMBus™ commands. When
enabling the device with ON_OFF_CONFIG command, it is
recommended that the enable pin is tied to SGND.
In addition to bus noise considerations, it is important to ensure
that user connections to the SMBus are compliant to the
PMBus™ command standards. Any device that can malfunction
in a way that permanently shorts SMBus lines will disable
PMBus™ communications. Incomplete PMBus™ commands can
also cause the ZL8802 to halt PMBus™ communications. This
can be corrected by disabling, then reenabling the device.
Digital-DC Bus
The Digital-DC Communications (DDC) bus is used to
communicate between Intersil Digital-DC devices, and within the
ZL8802 itself. This dedicated bus provides the communication
channel between devices for features such as sequencing, fault
spreading and current sharing. The DDC pin must be pulled-up to
an external 2.5V to 5.0V supply, (or configured as a push-pull
output using the USER_GLOBAL_CONFIG command) even if the
ZL8802 is operating stand-alone. In addition, the DDC pin must
be pulled up or configured as a push-pull output before the
Enable pin is set high. Push-pull mode can only be used when the
ZL8802 is operating stand-alone. The DDC pin on all Digital-DC
devices that utilize sequencing, fault spreading or current sharing
must be connected together. 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 follows:
Riset time = R PU  C LOAD  1s
(EQ. 3)
Where RPU is the DDC bus pull-up resistance and CLOAD is the
bus loading. The pull-up resistor may be tied to VR5 or to an
external 3.3V or 5V supply as long as this voltage is present prior
to or during device power-up. As a rule of thumb, each device
connected to the DDC bus presents approximately 12pF of
capacitive loading. The ideal design will use a central pull-up
resistor that is well-matched to the total load capacitance. In
power module applications, the user should consider whether to

place the pull-up resistor on the module or on the PCB of the end
application. The minimum pull-up resistance should be limited to
a value that enables any device to assert the bus to a voltage that
will ensure a logic 0 (typically 0.8V at the device monitoring
point) given the pull-up voltage (5V if tied to VR5) and the
pull-down current capability of the ZL8802 (nominally 4mA). As
with SMBus data and clock lines, the DDC data line should be
routed with a closely coupled return or ground plane to minimize
coupled interference (noise). Excessive noise on the DDC signal
can cause the voltage on this line to cross the high and low logic
thresholds of 2.0V and 0.8V respectively and will cause
command transmissions to be interrupted and result in slow bus
operation or missed commands. For less than 10 devices on the
DDC bus a 10kΩ resistor provides good performance.
called the “sequel” when the prequel’s Power-Good (PG) signal is
driven high.
Phase Spreading
Fault 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 have coincident rising
edges. Setting each converter to start its switching cycle at a
different point in time can dramatically reduce input capacitance
requirements. 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 IRMS2 are reduced.
Digital-DC devices can be configured to broadcast a fault event
over the DDC bus to the other devices in the group. When a fault
occurs and the device is configured to shut down on a fault, the
device will shut down and broadcast the fault event over the DDC
bus. The other devices on the DDC bus will shut down together if
configured to do so, and will attempt to restart in their prescribed
order if configured to do so.
In order to enable phase spreading, all converters must be
synchronized to the same switching clock. Configuring the SYNC
pin is described in “Configurable Pins” on page 12. Selecting the
phase offset for the device is accomplished by selecting a device
address according to Equation 4:
The PWM outputs of the ZL8802 are used in parallel to create a
dual phase power rail. The device outputs will share the current
equally within a few percent, assuming all external sensing
element variations and tolerances are negligible. Current sensing
element tolerances must be taken into account, or adjusted for
using the IOUT_CAL_GAIN and IOUT_CAL_OFFSET commands in
any application.
(EQ. 4)
The phase offset of each device may also be set to any value
between 0° and 360° in 22.5° increments using the
INTERLEAVE PMBus™ command.
Output Sequencing
A group of Intersil digital power devices may be configured to
power up in a predetermined sequence. This feature is especially
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 from occurring. Multidevice sequencing can be achieved
by configuring each device using the SEQUENCE PMBus™
command.
Multiple device sequencing is 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 enable (EN) 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
turn-off of the group. In order to achieve sequenced turn-off of a
group of sequenced devices, all the devices should be configured
to turn off using the “soft-off”, or ramped down behavior, in the
ON_OFF_CONFIG PMBus command.
When sequencing on, the first device to ramp up, called the
“prequel”, sends a message via the DDC bus to the next device,
Submit Document Feedback
20
Sequencing can also be accomplished by connecting the enable
pin of a sequel device to the power-good pin of a prequel device.
Sequencing is also achieved by using the TON_DELAY and
TON_RISE commands and choosing appropriate delay and rise
durations such that sequel devices start after their associated
prequel devices. The drawback to this method is that if a prequel
device fails to start properly, its sequel device will still start and
ramp on according to its delay and rise time settings.
Active Current Sharing
The ZL8802 will current share between phases without utilizing
output voltage droop.
Droop resistance is used in 4-phase current sharing 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.

FIGURE 10. ACTIVE CURRENT SHARING
When current sharing up to 2 ZL8802s (4 phases total), the
ZL8802 uses a low-bandwidth, first-order digital current sharing
technique to balance the unequal device output loading by
aligning the load lines of member devices to a reference device.
Upon system start-up, the lowest numbered phase is defined as
the reference phase and all other phases are member phases.
FN8760.1
December 11, 2015
ZL8802
The reference phase broadcasts its current over the DDC bus. The
member phases use the reference current information to trim
their reference voltages (VMEMBER) to balance the current
loading of each device in the system.
Figure 10 shows that, for load lines with identical slopes, the
member reference voltage is increased towards the reference
voltage which closes the gap between the inductor currents.
User Store: The user store is the most commonly used store. It
provides the ability to modify certain power supply settings while
still protecting the equipment from modifying values that can
lead to a system level fault. The equipment manufacturer would
use the user store to achieve this goal.
Where R is the value of the droop resistance. The VOUT_DROOP
command is used to set the device output voltage droop to
achieve 4-, 6- or 8-phase current sharing.
Default Store: The default store is less commonly used. It
provides a means to protect the circuit from damage by
preventing the user from modifying certain values that are
related to the physical construction of the circuit. In this case, the
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) would use the default
store in a protected mode and allow the user to restore the
device to its default settings. In this case the user store would be
available to the end-user for making changes, but would restrict
the user from restoring the device to the factory settings or
modifying the default store.
4-, 6- and 8-phase current sharing groups must have their DDC and
SYNC pins tied together in order to achieve current sensing and
ensure accurate phase offsets between current sharing phases.
The user store takes priority over the Default Store. If there are
no values set in the user or default store, then the device will use
the pin-strap setting value.

connections required. A noise filtering capacitor, not exceeding
100pF, should be connected across the external temperature

provide the temperature reading for over-temperature and
under-temperature faults. The external sensors can also be used
to provide more accurate temperature compensation for inductor
DCR current sensing by being placed close to the inductor. These
options for the external temperature sensors are selected using

PMBus™ Use Guidelines
The PMBus is a powerful tool that allows the user to optimize circuit performance by configuring the ZL8802 for their application. When
configuring the ZL8802 in a circuit, the ZL8802 should be disabled whenever most settings are changed with PMBus commands. Some
exceptions to this recommendation are OPERATION, ON_OFF_CONFIG, CLEAR_FAULTS, VOUT_COMMAND, VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH,
VOUT_MARGIN_LOW and ASCCR_CONFIG. While the device is enabled any command can be read. Many commands do not take effect
until after the device has been reenabled, hence the recommendation that commands that change device settings are written while
the device is disabled.
When sending the STORE_DEFAULT_ALL, STORE_USER_ALL, RESTORE_DEFAULT_ALL and RESTORE_USER_ALL commands, it is
recommended that no other commands are sent to the device for 100ms after sending STORE or RESTORE commands.
In addition, there should be a 2ms delay between repeated READ commands sent to the same device. When sending any other
command, a 5ms delay is recommended between repeated commands sent to the same device.
SUMMARY:
All commands can be read at any time.
Always disable the ZL8802 when writing commands that change device settings. Exceptions to this rule are commands intended to be
written while the device is enabled, for example, VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH.
To be sure a change to a device setting has taken effect, write the STORE_USER_ALL command, then cycle input power and reenable
the device.

OPERATION (01h)
Definition: Sets Enable, Disable and VOUT Margin settings. This command can also be monitored to read the operating state of the
device on bits 7:6. Writing Immediate off will turn off the output and ignore TOFF_DELAY and TOFF_FALL settings. This command is not
stored like other PMBus commands. The value read reflects the current state of the device. When this command is written the
command takes effect, but if a STORE _USER_ALL written and the device is reenabled, the OPERATION settings may not be the same
settings that were written before the device was reenabled.

VOUT_MAX (24h)
Definition: The VOUT_ MAX command sets an upper limit on the output voltage the unit can command regardless of any other
commands or combinations. The intent of this command is to provide a safeguard against a user accidentally setting the output
voltage to a possibly destructive level rather than to be the primary output overprotection. If a VOUT_COMMAND is sent with a value
higher than VOUT_MAX, the device will set the output voltage to VOUT_MAX. Note that this command setting does not automatically
scale with a stored VOUT_COMMAND setting.

VOUT_DROOP (28h)
Definition: The VOUT_DROOP sets the effective load line (V/I slope) for the rail in which the device is used. It is the rate, in mV/A at
which the output voltage decreases with increasing output current for use with passive current sharing schemes. For devices that are
set to sink output current (negative output current), the output voltage continues to increase as the output current is negative.
VOUT_DROOP is not needed with a single (2-phase) ZL8802. VOUT_DROOP is needed when multiple ZL8802s are operated in current
sharing mode, i.e., 4-, 6- and 8-phase configurations. In this case, VOUT_DROOP is calculated based on the combined output current of
all phases as applicable.

FREQUENCY_SWITCH (33h)
Definition: Sets the switching frequency of the device. Initial default value is defined by a pin-strap and this value can be overridden by
writing this command. If an external SYNC is utilized, this value should be set as close as possible to the external clock value. The
output must be disabled when writing this command. Available frequencies are defined by the equation fSW = 16MHz/n where
12 ≤ n ≤ 80.

INTERLEAVE (37h)
Definition: Configures the phase offset of a device that is sharing a common SYNC clock with other devices. A desired phase position is
specified. Interleave is used for setting the phase offset between individual devices, current sharing groups, and/or combinations of
devices and current sharing groups. For devices within single current sharing group the phase offset is set automatically. In a
multiphase current share group the same interleave settings must be stored in all devices in the current sharing group in order to
phase spread properly. Interleave Offset refers to the phase offset of Phase 0 of the device; Phase 1 is always Phase 0 + 180 degrees.
INTERLEAVE Phase offset is calculated with Equation 6:
Phase Offset (in degrees) =  Rounded  Position  16  Number    22.5
(EQ. 6)
Phase offsets greater than 360 degrees are “wrapped around” by subtracting 360 degrees.

READ_TEMPERATURE_3 (8Fh)
Definition: Returns the temperature reading from the VMON/TMON pin when the device is configured to read temperature on the
VMON/TMON pin by setting bit 12 in the USER_GLOBAL_CONFIG command to 1. The voltage on the VMON/TMON pin is converted to °C
by the equation TEMPERTATURE 3 = (VMON voltage - 0.6V)/0.008. See MFR_VMON commands starting on page 85 (F5h, F6h, F8h,
F9H) for fault limits when reading temperature on the VMON/TMON pin. When using the Intersil ISL9922X smart power stage, a 2:1
voltage divider is needed between the TMON pin of the ISL9922X and the VMON/TMON pin of the ZL8802.

DDC_CONFIG (D3h)
Definition: Configures DDC addressing and current sharing for up to 8 phases. To operate as a 2-phase controller, set both phases to the
same rail ID, set phases in rail to 2, then set each phase ID sequentially as 0 and 1. To operate as a 4-phase controller, set all phases to
the same rail ID, set phases in rail to 4, then set each phase ID alternately, for example, the first ZL8802 will be set to 0 and 2, the
second ZL8802 will be set to 1 and 3. The ZL8802 will automatically equally offset the phases in the rail. Phase spreading is done
automatically as part of the DDC_CONFIG command. When using CFG pin-strap settings, the DDC_CONFIG command is set
automatically.
NOTE: The output MUST be connected to VSEN0P and VSEN0N when operating as a 2-phase controller.

MULTI_PHASE_RAMP_GAIN (D5h)
Definition: MULTI_PHASE_RAMP_GAIN command value indirectly determines the output voltage rise time during the turn-on ramp.
Typical gain values range from 1 to 10. Lower gain values produce longer ramp times.
MULTI_PHASE_RAMP_GAIN mode is automatically selected when the ZLS8802 is configured to operate in a 4-phase current sharing
group. When in MULTI_PHASE_RAMP_GAIN mode, the turn-on ramp up is done with the high bandwidth ASCR control circuitry disabled,
resulting in a lower loop bandwidth during start-up ramps. Once POWER_GOOD has been asserted, ASCR circuitry is enabled and the
ZLS8802 operates normally. When MULTI_PHASE_RAMP_GAIN mode is enabled, soft-off ramps are not allowed (TOFF_FALL is
ignored). When the ZL8802 is commanded to shutdown, the PWMHO/1 output is tri-stated, turning both the high-side and low-side
MOSFETs off, and the PWML0/1 pin is pulled low (DrMOS disabled). Large load current transitions during multphase ramp-ups will
cause output voltage discontinuities.
When the phase count is 2; i.e., when the ZL8802 is operating standalone, ASCR is enabled at all times and all commands associated
with turn-on and turn-off (TON_RISE, TOFF_FALL, Soft-Off) operate normally.
Rise time can be calculated using Equation 7:
RiseTime = VOUT_COMMAND   14  Input Voltage  FREQUENCY_SWITCH (in MHz)  MULTI_PHASE_RAMP_GAIN 

TEMPCO_CONFIG (DCh)
Definition: Configures the correction factor and temperature measurement source when performing temperature coefficient correction
for current sense. TEMPCO_CONFIG values are applied as negative correction to a positive temperature coefficient. TEMPCO_CONFIG
should be set to 3900ppm (27h) when using inductor DCR current sensing in order to compensate for the variation in inductor
resistance due to the temperature coefficient of copper. When using the ISL9922X Smart Power Stage, TEMPCO_CONFIG should be set
to 0ppm (00h) since the IMON signal from the ISL9922X is internally compensated for temperature.
Paged or Global: Paged
Data Length in Bytes: 1
Data Format: Bit Field
Type: R/W
Protectable: Yes
Default Value: 00h (0ppm/°C, copper)
Equation: To determine the hex value of the Tempco Correction factor (TC) for current scale of a power stage current sensing, first
determine the temperature coefficient of resistance for the sensing element, α. This is found with Equation 8:
RREF  R

(EQ. 8)
RREF (TREF  T )
Where:
R = Sensing element resistance at temperature “T”
RREF = Sensing element resistance at reference temperature TREF
α = Temperature coefficient of resistance for the sensing element material
T = Temperature measured by temperature sensor, in degrees Celsius
TREF = Reference temperature that α is specified at for the sensing element material
After α is determined, convert the value in units of 100ppm/°C. This value is then converted to a hex value with Equation 9:
TC 

ASCR_CONFIG (DFh)
Definition: Allows user configuration of ASCR settings. ASCR gain and residual value are automatically set by the ZL8802 based on
input voltage and output voltage. ASCR gain is analogous to bandwidth, ASCR residual is analogous to damping. To improve load
transient response performance, increase ASCR gain. To lower transient response overshoot, increase ASCR residual. Increasing ASCR
gain can result in increased PWM jitter and should be evaluated in the application circuit. Excessive ASCR gain can lead to excessive
output voltage ripple. Increasing ASCR residual to improve transient response damping can result in slower recovery times, but will not
affect the peak output voltage deviation. Typical ASCR gain settings range from 100 to 1000, and ASCR residual settings range from
10 to 90.

SEQUENCE (E0h)
Definition: Identifies the Rail DDC ID of the prequel and sequel rails when performing multirail sequencing. The device will enable its
output when its EN or OPERATION enable state, as defined by ON_OFF_CONFIG, is set and the prequel device has issued a power-good
event on the DDC bus as a result of the prequel’s Power-good (PG) signal going high. The device will disable its output (using the
programmed delay values) when the sequel device has issued a power-down event on the DDC bus at the completion of its ramp-down
(its output voltage is 0V).
The data field is a two-byte value. The most-significant byte contains the 5-bit Rail DDC ID of the prequel device. The least-significant
byte contains the 5-bit Rail DDC ID of the sequel device. The most significant bit of each byte contains the enable of the prequel or
sequel mode. This command overrides the corresponding sequence configuration set by the CONFIG pin settings.

DDC_GROUP (E2h)
Definition: Rails (output voltages) are assigned Group numbers in order to share specified behaviors. The DDC_GROUP command
configures fault spreading group ID and enable, broadcast OPERATION group ID and enable, and broadcast VOUT_COMMAND group ID
and enable. Note that DDC Groups are separate and unique from DDC Rail IDs (see “DDC_CONFIG (D3h)” on page 65). Current sharing
rails need to be in the same DDC Group in order to respond to broadcast VOUT_COMMAND and OPERATION commands. Power fail
event responses (and phases) are automatically spread in Phase 0 and 1 when the ZL8802 is operating in 2-phase current sharing
mode when it is configured using DDC_CONFIG, regardless of its setting in DDC_GROUP.

SNAPSHOT (EAh)
Definition: The SNAPSHOT command is a 32-byte read-back of parametric and status values. It allows monitoring and status data to be
stored to flash either during a fault condition or via a system-defined time using the SNAPSHOT_CONTROL command. Snapshot is
continuously updated in RAM and can be read using the SNAPSHOT command. When a fault occurs, the latest snapshot in RAM is
stored to flash. Snapshot data can read back by writing a 01h to the SNAPSHOT_CONTROL command, then reading SNAPSHOT.

LEGACY_FAULT_GROUP (F0h)
Definition: This command allows the ZL8802 to sequence and fault spread with devices other than the ZL8800 family of ICs. This
command sets which rail DDC IDs should be listened to for fault spreading information. The data sent is a 4-byte, 32-bit bit vector
where every bit represents a rail’s DDC ID. A bit set to 1 indicates a device DDC ID to which the configured device will respond upon
receiving a fault spreading event. In this vector, bit 0 of byte 0 corresponds to the rail with DDC ID 0. Following through, Bit 7 of byte 3
corresponds to the rail with DDC ID 31.
NOTE: The device/rail’s own DDC ID should not be set within the LEGACY_FAULT_GROUP command for that device/rail.
All devices in a current share rail (devices other than the ZL8800 family ICs) must shut down for the rail to report a shutdown.
If fault spread mode is enabled in USER_CONFIG, the device will immediately shut down if on of its DDC_GROUP members fail. The
device/rail will attempt its configured restart only after all devices/rails within the DDC_GROUP have cleared their faults.
If fault spread mode is disabled in USER_CONFIG, the device will perform a sequenced shutdown as defined by the SEQUENCE
command setting. The rails/devices in a sequencing set only attempt their configured restart after all faults have cleared within the
DDC_GROUP. If fault spread mode is disabled and sequencing is also disabled, the device will ignore faults from other devices and stay
enabled.

SECURITY_LEVEL (FAh)
Definition: The device provides write protection for individual commands. Each bit in the UNPROTECT parameter controls whether its
corresponding command is writeable (commands are always readable). If a command is not writeable, a password must be entered in
order to change its parameter (i.e., to enable writes to that command). There are two types of passwords, public and private. The public
password provides a simple lock-and-key protection against accidental changes to the device. It would typically be sent to the device in the
application prior to making changes. Private passwords allow commands marked as nonwriteable in the UNPROTECT parameter to be
changed. Private passwords are intended for protecting default-installed configurations and would not typically be used in the application.
Each store (USER and DEFAULT) can have its own UNPROTECT string and private password. If a command is marked as nonwriteable in the
DEFAULT UNPROTECT parameter (its corresponding bit is cleared), the private password in the DEFAULT store must be sent in order to
change that command. If a command is writeable according to the default UNPROTECT parameter, it may still be marked as nonwriteable
in the user store UNPROTECT parameter. In this case, the user private password can be sent to make the command writeable.
The device supports four levels of security. Each level is designed to be used by a particular class of users, ranging from module
manufacturers to end users, as discussed below. Levels 0 and 1 correspond to the public password. All other levels require a private
password. Writing a private password can only raise the security level. Writing a public password will reset the level down to 0 or 1.
Figure 12 on page 88 shows the algorithm used by the device to determine if a particular command write is allowed.

FIGURE 12. ALGORITHM USED TO DETERMINE WHEN A COMMAND IS WRITEABLE
Security Level 3 – Module Vendor
Level 3 is intended primarily for use by module vendors to protect device configurations in the default store. Clearing a UNPROTECT bit
in the default store implies that a command is writeable only at Level 3 and above. The device’s security level is raised to Level 3 by
writing the private password value previously stored in the default store. To be effective, the module vendor must clear the UNPROTECT
bit corresponding to the STORE_DEFAULT_ALL and RESTORE_DEFAULT commands. Otherwise, Level 3 protection is ineffective since
the entire store could be replaced by the user, including the enclosed private password.

FN8760.1
December 11, 2015
ZL8802
Security Level 2 – User
Level 2 is intended for use by the end user of the device. Clearing a UNPROTECT bit in the user store implies that a command is
writeable only at Level 2 and above. The device’s security level is raised to Level 2 by writing the private password value previously
stored in the User Store. To be effective, the user must clear the UNPROTECT bit corresponding to the STORE_USER_ALL,
RESTORE_DEFAULT_ALL, STORE_DEFAULT_ALL and RESTORE_DEFAULT commands. Otherwise, Level 2 protection is ineffective since
the entire store could be replaced, including the enclosed private password.
Security Level 1 – Public
Level 1 is intended to protect against accidental changes to ordinary commands by providing a global write-enable. It can be used to
protect the device from erroneous bus operations. It provides access to commands whose UNPROTECT bit is set in both the default and
User Store. Security is raised to Level 1 by writing the public password stored in the user store using the PUBLIC_PASSWORD command.
The public password stored in the default store has no effect.
Security Level 0 - Unprotected
Level 0 implies that only commands which are always writeable (e.g., PUBLIC_PASSWORD) are available. This represents the lowest
authority level and hence the most protected state of the device. The level can be reduced to 0 by using PUBLIC_PASSWORD to write
any value which does not match the stored public password.

UNPROTECT (FDh)
Definition: Sets a 256-bit (32-byte) parameter which identifies which commands are to be protected against write-access at lower
security levels. Each bit in this parameter corresponds to a command according to the command’s code. The command with a code of
00h (PAGE) is protected by the least-significant bit of the least-significant byte, followed by the command with a code of 01h and so
forth. Note that all possible commands have a corresponding bit regardless of whether they are protectable or supported by the device.
Clearing a command’s UNPROTECT bit indicates that write-access to that command is only allowed if the device’s security level has
been raised to an appropriate level. The UNPROTECT bits in the default store require a security level 3 or greater to be writeable. The
UNPROTECT bits in the user store require a security level of 2 or higher.
