The LMZ10504 is available in an innovative package that enhances thermal performance and allows for hand or machine soldering. The LMZ10504 is a reliable and robust solution with the following features: lossless cycle-by-cycle peak current limit to protect for overcurrent or short-circuit fault, thermal shutdown, input undervoltage lockout, and prebiased start-up. 7.2 Functional Block Diagram VIN 1 1: SS 5 FB Drivers Voltage Mode Control 3 2.2 PF 1.5 PH 6, 7 VOUT N-MOSFET 2 EN P-MOSFET 2.2 PF 4, EP GND 7.3 Feature Description 7.3.1 Enable The LMZ10504 features an enable (EN) pin and associated comparator to allow the user to easily sequence the LMZ10504 from an external voltage rail, or to manually set the input UVLO threshold. The turnon or rising threshold and hysteresis for this comparator are typically 1.23 V and 0.15 V, respectively. The precise reference for the enable comparator allows the user to ensure that the LMZ10504 will be disabled when the system demands it to be. The EN pin should not be left floating. For always-on operation, connect EN to VIN. 7.3.2 Enable and UVLO Using a resistor divider from VIN to EN as shown in the schematic diagram below, the input voltage at which the part begins switching can be increased above the normal input UVLO level according to: R + Renb VIN (UVLO ) = 1.23V ´ ent Renb (1) For example, suppose that the required input UVLO level is 3.69 V. Choosing Renb = 10 kΩ, then we calculate Rent = 20 kΩ. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2009–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMZ10504 LMZ10504 www.ti.com SNVS610N – DECEMBER 2009 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2015 Feature Description (continued) VIN VIN LMZ10504 Rent Cin1 EN Renb GND Figure 16.

Setting Enable and UVLO Using External Power Supply 7.3.3 Soft-Start The LMZ10504 begins to operate when both the VIN and EN, voltages exceed the rising UVLO and enable thresholds, respectively. A controlled soft-start eliminates inrush currents during start-up and allows the user more control and flexibility when sequencing the LMZ10504 with other power supplies. In the event of either VIN or EN decreasing below the falling UVLO or enable threshold respectively, the voltage on the soft-start pin is collapsed by discharging the soft-start capacitor by a 14-µA (typical) current sink to ground. 7.3.4 Soft-Start Capacitor Determine the soft-start capacitance with the following relationship: t ´I CSS = ss ss VFB where • • • VFB is the internal reference voltage (nominally 0.8 V), ISS is the soft-start charging current (nominally 2 µA) and CSS is the external soft-start capacitance. (2) Thus, the required soft-start capacitor per unit output voltage start-up time is given by: CSS = 2.5 nF / ms (3) For example, a 4-ms soft-start time will yield a 10-nF capacitance. The minimum soft-start capacitance is 680 pF.

In this way, the output voltage slew rate of the LMZ10504 will be controlled by a master supply for loads that require precise sequencing. When the tracking function is used, a small value soft-start capacitor should be connected to the SS pin to alleviate output voltage overshoot when recovering from a current limit fault. Master Power Supply VOUT1 VIN VOUT2 VIN VOUT Rtrkt Cin1 EN LMZ10504 CO1 SS VSS Rtrkb GND Figure 18. Tracking Using External Power Supply 7.3.6 Tracking - Equal Soft-Start Time One way to use the tracking feature is to design the tracking resistor divider so that the master supply output voltage, VOUT1, and the LMZ10504 output voltage, VOUT2, both rise together and reach their target values at the same time. This is termed ratiometric start-up. For this case, the equation governing the values of tracking divider resistors Rtrkb and Rtrkt is given by: Rtrkt Rtrkb = VOUT 1 - 1.0V (4) The above equation includes an offset voltage, of 200 mV, to ensure that the final value of the SS pin voltage exceeds the reference voltage of the LMZ10504. This offset will cause the LMZ10504 output voltage to reach regulation slightly before the master supply. For a value of 33 kΩ, 1% is recommended for Rtrkt as a compromise between high-precision and low-quiescent current through the divider while minimizing the effect of the 2-µA softstart current source. For example, if the master supply voltage VOUT1 is 3.3 V and the LMZ10504 output voltage was 1.8 V, then the value of Rtrkb needed to give the two supplies identical soft-start times would be 14.3 kΩ. Figure 19 shows an example of tracking using the equal soft-start time. RATIOMETRIC STARTUP VOUT1 VOLTAGE VOUT2 EN TIME Figure 19.

This is referred to as simultaneous start-up. In this case, the tracking resistors can be determined based on Equation 5: 0.8V ´ Rtrkt Rtrkb = VOUT 2 - 0.8V (5) and to ensure proper overdrive of the SS pin VOUT 2 < 0.8 ´ VOUT1 (6) For the example case of VOUT1 = 5 V and VOUT2 = 2.5 V, with Rtrkt set to 33 kΩ as before, Rtrkb is calculated from the above equation to be 15.5 kΩ. Figure 20 shows an example of tracking using the equal slew rates. SIMULTANEOUS STARTUP VOUT1 VOLTAGE VOUT2 EN TIME Figure 20. Timing Diagram for Tracking Using Equal Slew Rates 7.3.8 Current Limit When a current greater than the output current limit (IOCL) is sensed, the ON-time is immediately terminated and the low-side MOSFET is activated. The low-side MOSFET stays on for the entire next four switching cycles. During these skipped pulses, the voltage on the soft-start pin is reduced by discharging the soft-start capacitor by a current sink on the soft-start pin of nominally 14 µA. Subsequent overcurrent events will drain more and more charge from the soft-start capacitor, effectively decreasing the reference voltage as the output droops due to the pulse skipping. Reactivation of the soft-start circuitry ensures that when the overcurrent situation is removed, the part will resume normal operation smoothly. 7.3.9 Overtemperature Protection When the LMZ10504 senses a junction temperature greater than 145°C (typical), both switching MOSFETs are turned off and the part enters a standby state. Upon sensing a junction temperature below 135°C (typical), the part will re-initiate the soft-start sequence and begin switching once again. 7.4 Device Functional Modes 7.4.1 Prebias Start-Up Capability At start-up, the LMZ10504 is in a prebiased state when the output voltage is greater than zero. This often occurs in many multi-rail applications such as when powering an ASIC, FPGA, or DSP. The output can be prebiased in these applications through parasitic conduction paths from one supply rail to another. Even though the LMZ10504 is a synchronous converter, it will not pull the output low when a prebias condition exists. The LMZ10504 will not sink current during start-up until the soft-start voltage exceeds the voltage on the FB pin. Because the device does not sink current it protects the load from damage that might otherwise occur if current is conducted through the parasitic paths of the load.

On the other hand, all external components can be calculated by following the design procedure below. 1. Determine the input voltage and output voltage. Also, make note of the ripple voltage and voltage transient requirements. 2. Determine the necessary input and output capacitance. 3. Calculate the feedback resistor divider. 4. Select the optimized compensation component values. 5. Estimate the power dissipation and board thermal requirements. 6. Follow the PCB design guideline. 7. Learn about the LMZ10504 features such as enable, input UVLO, soft-start, tracking, prebiased start-up, current limit, and thermal shutdown. 8.2.2.1 Input Capacitor Selection A 22-µF or 47-µF high-quality dielectric (X5R, X7R) ceramic capacitor rated at twice the maximum input voltage is typically sufficient. The input capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the VIN pin and GND exposed pad to substantially eliminate the parasitic effects of any stray inductance or resistance on the PCB and supply lines. Neglecting capacitor equivalent series resistance (ESR), the resultant input capacitor AC ripple voltage is a triangular waveform. The minimum input capacitance for a given peak-to-peak value (ΔVIN) of VIN is specified as follows: I ´ D ´ (1 - D ) Cin ³ OUT fsw ´ DVIN where • the PWM duty cycle, D, is given by Equation 8 (7) V D = OUT VIN (8) Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2009–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMZ10504 15 LMZ10504 SNVS610N – DECEMBER 2009 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2015 www.ti.com If ΔVIN is 1% of VIN, this equals to 50 mV and fSW = 1 MHz. æ 2.5V ö æ 2.5V ö 4A ´ ç ÷ ´ ç 1 - 5V ÷ è 5V ø è ø ³ 20 mF Cin ³ 1 MHz ´ 50 mV (9) A second criteria before finalizing the Cin bypass capacitor is the RMS current capability. The necessary RMS current rating of the input capacitor to a buck regulator can be estimated by: ICin(RMS ) = IOUT ´ D(1 - D ) ICin(RMS ) = 4 A ´ 2.5V 5V (10) æ 2.5V ö ç 1 - 5V ÷ = 2 A è ø (11) With this high AC current present in the input capacitor, the RMS current rating becomes an important parameter. The maximum input capacitor ripple voltage and RMS current occur at 50% duty cycle. Select an input capacitor rated for at least the maximum calculated ICin(RMS). Additional bulk capacitance with higher ESR may be required to damp any resonance effects of the input capacitance and parasitic inductance. 8.2.2.2 Output Capacitor Selection In general, 22-µF to 100-µF, high-quality dielectric (X5R, X7R) ceramic capacitor rated at twice the maximum output voltage is sufficient given the optimal high-frequency characteristics and low ESR of ceramic dielectrics. Although, the output capacitor can also be of electrolytic chemistry for increased capacitance density. Two output capacitance equations are required to determine the minimum output capacitance. One equation determines the output capacitance (CO) based on PWM ripple voltage. The second equation determines CO based on the load transient characteristics. Select the largest capacitance value of the two. The minimum capacitance, given the maximum output voltage ripple (ΔVOUT) requirement, is determined by the following equation: DiL CO ³ 8 ´ fsw ´ [DVOUT - ( DiL ´ RESR )] where • DiL = the peak to peak inductor current ripple (ΔiL) is equal to Equation 13: (VIN - VOUT ) ´ D L ´ fsw (12) (13) RESR is the total output capacitor ESR, L is the inductance value of the internal power inductor, where L = 1.5 µH, and fSW = 1 MHz. Therefore, per the design example: V (5V - 2.5V ) ´ 2.5 5V DiL = = 833 mA 1.5 mH ´ 1 MHz (14) The minimum output capacitance requirement due to the PWM ripple voltage is: 833 mA CO ³ 8 ´ 1 MHz ´ éë20 mV - (833 mA ´ 3 mW )ùû CO ³ 6 mF (15) (16) Three mΩ is a typical RESR value for ceramic capacitors. Equation 17 provides a good first pass capacitance requirement for a load transient: Istep ´ VFB ´ L ´ VIN CO ³ 4 ´ VOUT ´ (VIN - VOUT ) ´ DVo _ tran where • • 16 Istep is the peak to peak load step, VFB = 0.8 V, Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2009–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMZ10504 LMZ10504 www.ti.com SNVS610N – DECEMBER 2009 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2015 • and ΔVo_tran is the maximum output voltage deviation, which is ±20 mV. (17) Therefore the capacitance requirement for the given design parameters is: 3.2 A ´ 0.8V ´ 1.5mH ´ 5V CO ³ 4 ´ 2.5V ´ (5V - 2.5V ) ´ 20mV (18) CO ³ 39 mF (19) In this particular design the output capacitance is determined by the load transient requirements.

Resistors are normally selected as 0.5% or 1% tolerance. Higher accuracy resistors such as 0.1% are also available. The feedback voltage (at VOUT = 2.5 V) is accurate to within –2.5% / +2.5% over temperature and over line and load regulation. Additionally, the LMZ10504 contains error nulling circuitry to substantially eliminate the feedback voltage variation over temperature as well as the long-term aging effects of the internal amplifiers. In addition the zero nulling circuit dramatically reduces the 1/f noise of the bandgap amplifier and reference. The manifestation of this circuit action is that the duty cycle will have two slightly different but distinct operating points, each evident every other switching cycle. 8.2.2.3 Loop Compensation The LMZ10504 preserves flexibility by integrating the control components around the internal error amplifier while using three small external compensation components from VOUT to FB. An integrated type II (two pole, one zero) voltage-mode compensation network is featured. To ensure stability, an external resistor and small value capacitor can be added across the upper feedback resistor as a pole-zero pair to complete a type III (three pole, two zero) compensation network. The compensation components recommended in Table 4 provide type III compensation at an optimal control loop performance. The typical phase margin is 45° with a bandwidth of 80 kHz. Calculated output capacitance values not listed in Table 4 should be verified before designing into production. A detailed application note is available to provide verification support, AN-2013 SNVA417. In general, calculated output capacitance values below the suggested value will have reduced phase margin and higher control loop bandwidth. Output capacitance values above the suggested values will experience a lower Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2009–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMZ10504 17 LMZ10504 SNVS610N – DECEMBER 2009 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2015 www.ti.com bandwidth and increased phase margin. Higher bandwidth is associated with faster system response to sudden changes such as load transients. Phase margin changes the characteristics of the response. Lower phase margin is associated with underdamped ringing and higher phase margin is associated with overdamped response. Losing all phase margin will cause the system to be unstable; an optimized area of operation is 30° to 60° of phase margin, with a bandwidth of 100 kHz ±20 kHz.

This input supply should be well regulated and able to withstand maximum input current and maintain a stable voltage. The resistance of the input supply rail should be low enough that an input current transient does not cause a high enough drop at the LMZ10504 supply voltage that can cause a false UVLO fault triggering and system reset. If the input supply is more than a few inches from the LMZ10504, additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors. The amount of bulk capacitance is not critical, but a 47μF or 100-μF electrolytic capacitor is a typical choice. 10 Layout 10.1 Layout Guidelines PCB layout is an important part of DC-DC converter design. Poor board layout can disrupt the performance of a DC-DC converter and surrounding circuitry by contributing to EMI, ground bounce and resistive voltage drop in the traces. These can send erroneous signals to the DC-DC converter resulting in poor regulation or instability. Good layout can be implemented by following a few simple design rules. 1. Minimize area of switched current loops. From an EMI reduction standpoint, it is imperative to minimize the high di/dt current paths. The high current that does not overlap contains high di/dt, see Figure 29. Therefore physically place input capacitor (Cin1) as close as possible to the LMZ10504 VIN pin and GND exposed pad to avoid observable high-frequency noise on the output pin. This will minimize the high di/dt area and reduce radiated EMI. Additionally, grounding for both the input and output capacitor should consist of a localized top side plane that connects to the GND exposed pad (EP). 2. Have a single point ground. The ground connections for the feedback, soft-start, and enable components should be routed only to the GND pin of the device. This prevents any switched or load currents from flowing in the analog ground traces. If not properly placed, poor grounding can result in degraded load regulation or erratic output voltage ripple behavior. Provide the single point ground connection from pin 4 to EP. 3. Minimize trace length to the FB pin. Both feedback resistors, Rfbt and Rfbb, and the compensation components, Rcomp and Ccomp, should be located close to the FB pin. Since the FB node is high impedance, keep the copper area as small as possible. This is most important as relatively high-value resistors are used to set the output voltage. 4. Make input and output bus connections as wide as possible. This reduces any voltage drops on the input or output of the converter and maximizes efficiency. To optimize voltage accuracy at the load, ensure that a separate feedback voltage sense trace is made at the load. Doing so will correct for voltage drops and provide optimum output accuracy. 5. Provide adequate device heat-sinking. Use an array of heat-sinking vias to connect the exposed pad to the ground plane on the bottom PCB layer. If the PCB has multiple copper layers, thermal vias can also be employed to make connection to inner layer heat-spreading ground planes. For best results use a 6 × 6 via array with minimum via diameter of 8 mils thermal vias spaced 59 mils (1.5 mm). Ensure enough copper area is used for heat-sinking to keep the junction temperature below 125°C.

Bottom Copper 10.3 Estimate Power Dissipation and Thermal Considerations Use the current derating curves in the Typical Characteristics section to obtain an estimate of power loss (PIC_LOSS). For the design case of VIN = 5 V, VOUT = 2.5 V, IOUT = 4 A, TA(MAX) = 85°C , and TJ(MAX) = 125°C, the device must see a thermal resistance from case to ambient (θCA) of less than: TJ (MAX ) - TA(MAX ) qCA ³ - qJC PIC _ LOSS (21) θCA < o o C C 125 oC - 85 oC - 1.9 < 41 W W 930 mW (22) Given the typical thermal resistance from junction to case (θJC) to be 1.9°C/W (typical). Continuously operating at a TJ greater than 125°C will have a shorten life span. To reach θCA = 41°C/W, the PCB is required to dissipate heat effectively. With no airflow and no external heat, a good estimate of the required board area covered by 1-oz. copper on both the top and bottom metal layers is: Board Area_cm 2 ³ Board Area_cm 2 ³ 500 oC ´ cm 2 g qCA W o C ´ cm W 41 C 500 o (23) 2 g (24) As a result, approximately 12 square cm of 1-oz. copper on top and bottom layers is required for the PCB design. The PCB copper heat sink must be connected to the exposed pad (EP). Approximately thirty six, 8 mils thermal vias spaced 59 mils (1.5 mm) apart must connect the top copper to the bottom copper. For an extended discussion and formulations of thermal rules of thumb, refer to AN-2020 (SNVA419) and for an example of a high thermal performance PCB layout, refer to the evaluation board application note AN-2022 (SNVA421). 26 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2009–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMZ10504 LMZ10504 www.ti.com SNVS610N – DECEMBER 2009 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2015 10.4 Power Module SMT Guidelines The recommendations below are for a standard module surface mount assembly. • Land Pattern – Follow the PCB land pattern with either soldermask defined or non-soldermask defined pads • Stencil Aperture – For the exposed die attach pad (DAP), adjust the stencil for approximately 80% coverage of the PCB land pattern – For all other I/O pads use a 1:1 ratio between the aperture and the land pattern recommendation • Solder Paste – Use a standard SAC Alloy such as SAC 305, type 3 or higher • Stencil Thickness – 0.125 to 0.15 mm • Reflow - Refer to solder paste supplier recommendation and optimized per board size and density • Maximum number of reflows allowed is one • Refer to AN Design Summary LMZ1xxx and LMZ2xxx Power Modules Family (SNAA214) for reflow information.
