Technical Reference Notes APC12 Centauri II Centauri II (APC12) Non-Isolated DC/DC Power Module Tiny SMT Footprint – 1.8V-12V Input, 0.9V to 3.6V Output PRELIMINARY The APC12 Centauri II series is Astec’s recent addition to its non-isolated SMT POL line. With the wide acceptance of it’s predecessor (APC08 series) and the continuous system requirement for higher load current, the Centauri platform have been revolutionized to provide 12A load current from it’s original 8A device. The APC12 offers the same standard features common to the Centauri Product Line: wide input voltage range; wide output voltage range; high efficiency; Positive Output Enable; Power Good signal and Current Sharing. It also adapts the same Centauri SMT footprint for optimum user flexibility and multiple sourcing. The APC12 also comes with an output Trim pin, which allows output adjustment from 0.9V to 3.6V through external resistance programming. It works from a wide input voltage range of 1.8V to 13V and offers an extensive array of output voltages starting from 0.9V to 3.6V. It is ideal for Point of Load applications and provides the most flexibility for the ever-changing DSP and ASIC power requirements.

MODEL: APC12 SERIES JANUARY 6, 2002 REVISION A (PRELIMINARY) SHEET 6 OF 23 Technical Reference Notes APC12 Centauri II Basic Operation and Features The APC08/12 Centauri family was designed specifically to address applications where on board distributed power with Pointof-Load Converters (Conversion needed as close to the IC, usually DSP’s and ASIC’s) is employed. With its wide range input and flexible programmable output, any change in the load becomes very manageable with little to no impact on time to market. All of the converters in this family are buck converters. The APC12x03 versions allow 1.8V to 6V input voltage and the APC12x08 versions allow a 5.6V to 13V input with 14V max surge.

MODEL: APC12 SERIES JANUARY 6, 2002 REVISION A (PRELIMINARY) SHEET 8 OF 23 Technical Reference Notes APC12 Centauri II Enable Pin (Standard configuration) Pin P5 is functioned to enable the output voltage of a module. If this pin is left open or connected to ≥ 4.1Vdc up to 14Vdc, the module is turned on. On the other hand, if this pin is connected to ground or to a voltage potential from 0 to 0.8Vdc, the module is turned off. The enable pin can source current up to 60µA max - suited for typical open-collector transistors readily available in the market. For TTL compatibility, Figure 3 shows a 7405 open collector inverter IC utilized to function the Enable feature. Other common chips that can do the function are 74S05; 74HCT05; non-inverting - 7407; 74S07; 74HC07. If SMT packaging is preferred, Fairchild's Tiny Logic NC7SZ05 or TI's Little Logic SN7SLVC1G06 comes in SOT23 or SC70 packages. Figure 3. Output Voltage Enable function diagram. Special Feature Pins (Options): Trim Function (-9): Pin P4 is used for output voltage adjustment. The output voltage can be trimmed through an external resistor or through an external DC supply as described in the succeeding sections. Method 1: External Trim Resistor. By connecting an external resistor across P4 and P3 (Gnd), the voltage appearing on pin P2 (Vo) is adjusted to a higher value. The output voltage of a module can be adjusted up to a maximum value of 3.3V (nominal) or 83% of the input voltage, whichever is lower. By connecting an external resistor across P4 and P2, Vo is adjusted to a lower value. Only small reductions, 2%, in voltage are recommended, as adjustment to lower voltages tends to affect the loop compensation of the module. Full range adjustment (from 0.9V to 3.6V) can be obtained from a module with the lowest Vo setpoint (0.9Vo). MODEL: APC12 SERIES JANUARY 6, 2002 REVISION A (PRELIMINARY) SHEET 9 OF 23 Technical Reference Notes APC12 Centauri II Trim Function (continued) To adjust Vo to a higher value, please refer to Figure 4. The required resistor value (Rt) can be determined through Equation (1) where Vo is the voltage on P2 before the adjustment and Vot is the voltage of P2 after Rt is connected. Rt = Vref R1 Vot − Vo Equation (1) Figure 4. Output Voltage Trim Setup. Please refer to related constants given in TABLE 1 to calculate the Equation.

Example: Module version: APC08J03-9 (1.8 to 6.0Vin, 0.9Vo). Requiring to adjust output voltage from Vo = 0.9V to Vot = 1.8V. Vref = 0.87V and R1 = 3.09kΩ (from TABLE 1). Based on Equation (1), Rt can be determined as 3.0kΩ. To adjust Vo to a lower value, Rt should be connected between P4 and P2. Equation (2) provides the calculation for Rt. Rt = (Vo − Vref )(Vot − Vref ) Vref (Vo − Vot ) R2 Equation (2) Be aware that the minimum Vo is 0.9V. Example Module version: APC08F03-9 (4.0 to 6.Vin, 3.3Vo). Requiring to adjust the output voltage from Vo = 3.3V to Vot = 3.3 (1-0.02) = 3.234V. Vo = 3.3V, Vot = 3.234V, Vref = 0.87V, R2 = 1.13kΩ (from TABLE 1). Based on Equation (1), Rt can be determined as 111.9kΩ. MODEL: APC12 SERIES JANUARY 6, 2002 REVISION A (PRELIMINARY) SHEET 10 OF 23 Technical Reference Notes APC12 Centauri II Trim Function (continued) Method 2: External DC Source By connecting an external DC supply across P4 (Enable) and P3 (GND) through a limiting resistor Rt, (see Figure 5), output voltage adjustment can also be achieved. Equation 3 provides the relationship between the External DC supply, Vt, and Vo (where Vo is the desired output voltage). Rt Rt Rt Vt = 1 + + Vref − Vo R1 R1 R2 Equation (3) Given: Rt = 10kΩ Figure 5. External DC source for output trim adjust. Vo Adjustment to Lower Voltages. This method does not limit the recommended lower Vo adjustment to 2% as mentioned on previous sections re: Vo adjustment through external trim resistor. Example: Module version: APC08G03-9 (3V to 6Vin, 2.5Vo). Requiring to adjust the output voltage from Vo = 2.5V to 1.8V Vo = 1.8V, Vref = 0.87V, R1 = 3.09kΩ, R2 = 1.69kΩ (from Table 1). Based on Equation (3), Vt = 3.0V. Example: Module version: APC08G03-9 (3V to 6Vin, 2.5Vo). Requiring to adjust the output voltage from Vo = 2.5V to 0.9V Vo = 0.9V, Vref = 0.87V, R1 = 3.09kΩ, R2 = 1.69kΩ (from Table 1). Based on Equation (3), Vt = 5.9V. Vo Adjustment to Higher Voltages Example: Module version: APC08G03-9 (3V to 6Vin, 2.5Vo). Requiring to adjust the output voltage from Vo = 2.5V to 3.3V Vo = 3.3V, Vref = 0.87V, R1 = 3.09kΩ, R2 = 1.69kΩ (from Table 1). Based on Equation (3), Vt = -1.84V. If application of negative voltage is not desired, the limiting resistor Rt can either be changed to a lower value (Rt = 1kΩ Ω, such that Vt = 0.60V per Equation 3), or use Method 1. MODEL: APC12 SERIES JANUARY 6, 2002 REVISION A (PRELIMINARY) SHEET 11 OF 23 Technical Reference Notes APC12 Centauri II Power Good Signal Operation (Option (-9MA)): PG pin provides an output signal indicating the Vout is operational (TTL logic signal). It can sink current up to a max of 5mA and can have a maximum external pull-up voltage of 6V. Please see recommended setup shown on Figure 6. Figure 6. PGood setup. Active Current Share Operation (Option (-9MA)): Active Current share pin is compatible with like modules only (APC08 to APC08 or APC12 to APC12). Connecting this pin directly with the same Pin from another module guarantees current sharing to within 40% to 60% Iout. Note that this pin is not compatible with competitive modules that employ active current sharing. To attain efficient current sharing between like modules, the following points are recommended: a) The modules to be shared should be located as close as possible into the host card. b) The copper tracks that connect Vo and GND should at least be 0.60" in width with at least 2 oz. Cu.

MODEL: APC12 SERIES JANUARY 6, 2002 REVISION A (PRELIMINARY) SHEET 20 OF 23 Technical Reference Notes APC12 Centauri II Mechanical Specifications (continued) RECOMMENDED LOCATION FOR PICK AND PLACE The flat top surface of the large inductor (topside of the board) provides a versatile and convenient way of picking up the module (see Figure 56). A 6-7mm outside diameter nozzle from a conventional SMD machine is recommended to attain maximum vacuum pick-up. Nozzle travel and rotation speed should be controlled to prevent this off-centered picked-up module from falling off the nozzle. The use of vision recognition systems for placement accuracy will be very helpful. RECOMMENDED REFLOW PROFILE REFLOW NOTES / RECOMMENDATIONS 240 2. 3. Refer to the recommended Reflow Profile per Figure 57. Profile parameters exceeding the recommended maximums may result to permanent damage to the module. The module is recommended for topside reflow process to the host card. For other orientations, contact factory. In the event that the module needs to be desoldered from the host card, some pins may be detached from the module.
