The device is available in an adjustable output voltage option with 2.5-V to 15-V output range, as well as fixed 5-V and 3.3-V output options. The high level of integration and innovative packaging technology utilized in this nano module makes it possible to design a 5-V or 3.3-V 0.5-A switching converter solution with only an input capacitor, an output capacitor, and 27 mm² of available board space. 8.2 Functional Block Diagram VIN ENABLE LOGIC EN VCC THERMAL PROTECTION ADVANCE INFORMATION MODE/SYNC OSCILLATOR INT.

This enables the use of wide range of input voltages while maintaining constant switching frequency and good input and output transient response. The device can be used with 5-V, 12-V, or 24-V typical industrial input voltage rail. The short minimum on- and off-times ensure constant frequency regulation over a wide range of input to output voltage conversion ratios. The adjustable (ADJ) output voltage option operates at 1000-kHz switching frequency. The minimum onand off- times allow for a duty factor window of 5% to 91% at 1000-kHz switching frequency. If the input voltage exceeds approximately 28 V on the ADJ version, the frequency is smoothly reduced from 1000 kHz as a function of input voltage. The switching frequency reduction allows output voltage regulation and the current mode control to operate with a duty factor below 5%. The fixed 5-V and 3.3-V output options operate at 750 kHz nominal switching frequency and the frequency fold back at high input voltage is not active or needed. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2018, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMZM23600 LMZM23600 www.ti.com SNVSB53 – FEBRUARY 2018 Feature Description (continued) The control architecture also uses frequency foldback at low input voltage in order to achieve low dropout voltage, maintaining output regulation as the input voltage falls close to output voltage. The frequency foldback at low input voltage is active for the ADJ as well as the 5-V and 3.3-V output options. The reduction in frequency is smooth and continuous and is activated as the off-time approaches the minimum value. Under these conditions, the LMZM23600 device operates much like a constant off-time converter allowing the maximum duty cycle to reach 97%. This feature allows output voltage regulation with very low dropout. The LMZM23600 features exceptional conversion efficiency at light load. As the load current is reduced, the LMZM23600 transitions to light-load mode if the MODE/SYNC terminal is pulled low. In light-load mode the device uses diode emulation to reduce the RMS inductor current and the switching frequency is reduced. The fixed voltage versions (3.3-V and 5-V) do not need an external voltage divider connected to FB, which results in saving two components and lower standby current when the load is in standby. As a result, the consumed supply current is only 21 µA (typical) with 24-V to 3.3-V conversion and 24 µA (typical) with 24-V to 5-V conversion, while the output is regulated with no load. The LMZM23600 features an internally programmed soft-start time. The soft-start time is fixed internally at about 4 ms and is achieved by ramping the internal reference. The device starts up properly even if there is a voltage present on output before the activation of the LMZM23600. In such cases, there is no switching until the output voltage value programmed by the ramping reference voltage is above the pre-biased output value. Once the prebiased voltage level is reached by the reference ramp, the switching starts, and the output ramps up smoothly from the pre-biased value up to the final output voltage. 8.3.3 Enable and External UVLO Function Some applications may require a precision enable or custom input voltage lock-out (UVLO) functionality. Setting up external UVLO based on the application needs would prevent the converter from trying to regulate the output voltage until after the input voltage has reached a desired minimum level. Such function can be used to lower the current demand from the input supply as the supply is still starting up. The LMZM23600 features a precision enable (EN) input terminal. The EN input logic has two internal thresholds. The first rising threshold is at 0.9V typical. Its purpose is to wake up the internal VCC regulator to bias the internal circuitry. The EN rising threshold to start switching is 1.8V (typical) with 0.5V (typical) hysteresis. A voltage divider from VIN to EN can be used to set the VIN voltage at which the regulator starts the voltage conversion. The EN terminal is rated for up to the input voltage and can be connected directly to VIN for an always-on operation. Pulling the EN pin below 0.4 V puts the LMZM23600 in shutdown mode. In shutdown mode and 12-V input voltage the LMZM23600 only consumes 1.8 µA (typical) of input current. 8.3.4 Current Limit The LMZM23600 devices features two current limits inside the IC. A coarse high side or peak current limit is provided to protect against faults. The high-side current limit limits the duration of the on-period of the high-side power MOSFET during a given clock cycle. A precision cycle-by-cycle valley current limit prevents excessive average output current. A new switching cycle is not initiated until the inductor current drops below the valley current limit.

Current Limit Operation During Output Short Circuit Figure 1 shows the response of the LMZM23600 device to a short circuit on the output: The peak current limit prevents excessive peak current while the valley current limit prevents excessive average inductor current. After a small number of cycles, hiccup mode is activated. 8.3.5 Hiccup Mode In order to prevent excessive heating and power consumption under sustained output short circuit conditions, a hiccup mode operation is included in the control logic. If an over current condition is maintained on the output, the LMZM23600 device shuts off both power MOSFETs and waits for a hiccup interval, tW, of approximately 8 ms. After the wait period, the device restarts operation beginning with a soft-start time interval. Vout Figure 2. Hiccup Operation Figure 2 shows hiccup mode operation: The LMZM23600 attempts to restart periodically, following a hiccup wait interval. If the fault at the output is still present, another hiccup wait interval is initiated, followed by another restart attempt. This sequence continues until the output short circuit is removed. When the output short circuit is removed, the output ramps up during the next restart sequence. 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2018, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMZM23600 LMZM23600 www.ti.com SNVSB53 – FEBRUARY 2018 Feature Description (continued) 8.3.6 Power Good (PGOOD) Function The LMZM23600 has a built-in power-good signal presented at the PGOOD terminal. This signal indicates whether the output voltage is within the regulation window. The PGOOD terminal is an open-drain output that requires a pullup resistor to a nominal voltage source of 15 V or less. The absolute maximum PGOOD sink current is 8 mA. Typically, TI recommends a pullup resistor value between 10 kΩ and 100 kΩ. Refer to Electrical Characteristics for the power-good thresholds and hysteresis for undervoltage and overvoltage detection. 8.3.7 MODE/SYNC Function 8.3.7.1 Forced PWM Mode This feature may be activated and deactivated while the part is regulating without removing the load. This feature activates and deactivates gradually, preventing perturbation of output voltage. When in FPWM mode, a limited reverse current is allowed through the inductor allowing power to pass from the regulators output to its input. 8.3.7.2 Auto PFM Mode If the MODE/SYNC terminal is held low the LMZM23600 device enables automatic power-saving-mode transition at light load. With high load the LMZM23600 regulates the output using normal PWM operation. When the load is light, the control logic smoothly transitions to PFM operation and diode emulation. In this mode, the high side MOSFET is turned on for one or more pulses to provide energy to the load. The on-time of the high side in this mode depends on the input voltage level and a pre-programmed internal IPEAK-MIN current level. The higher the input voltage is, the shorter the on-time is. At this point, there is a longer off-time during which the output would still be in the regulation window because the load is light, and the output is not getting discharged as quickly. The duration of the off-time depends on the load current level. Lighter load results in longer off-time. This mode of operation results in excellent conversion efficiency at very light load. When auto-PFM mode is used, the output voltage at no load is approximately 1% higher than FPWM operation. 8.3.7.3 Dropout Mode When the input voltage level decreases and approaches the output voltage level, the buck regulator reaches its maximum duty cycle or minimum off-time requirement for each switching cycle. At this point the output is no longer regulated and follows the input voltage minus the voltage drops from VIN to VOUT. In order to maximize the input voltage range for which the output is still regulated, the LMZM23600 features frequency foldback at low input voltage. This operation extends the switching period and, for a given fixed minimum off-time, it prolongs the maximum duty cycle of the regulator. As a result, the output voltage can still be well regulated even as the input voltage level is very close to the output voltage. This feature can be useful for battery applications (maximizing the useful battery range) or in applications where large input voltage variations can be expected.

This activates forcedPWM-mode operation. Once activated, this feature ensures that the switching frequency stays constant across the entire load current range, while operating between the minimum and maximum duty cycle limits. The diode emulation feature is turned off in this mode. This means that the device remains in CCM under light loads. The switching frequency in forced PWM mode is only reduced when the input voltage-to-output voltage ratio results in minimum on-time limitation (ADJ version only) or minimum off-time limitation near dropout. LMZM23600 SNVSB53 – FEBRUARY 2018 www.ti.com Feature Description (continued) 8.3.7.4 SYNC Operation It is often desirable to synchronize the switching frequency of multiple regulators in a single system. This technique results in better defined EMI behavior and can reduce the need for capacitance on some power rails. The LMZM23600 MODE/SYNC input allows synchronization to an external clock. The LMZM23600 implements an in-phase locking scheme – the rising edge of the clock signal provided to the input of the LMZM23600 device corresponds to turning on the high-side MOSFET device. This function is implemented using phase locking over a limited frequency range eliminating large glitches upon initial application of an external clock. The clock fed into the LMZM23600 device replaces the internal free-running clock but does not affect frequency foldback operation. The output voltage continues to be well regulated using frequency reduction when duty factors outside of the normal duty cycle range are reached. The device remains in FPWM mode and operates in CCM for light loads when synchronization input is provided. The MODE/SYNC function logic always prioritizes the proper regulation of the output voltage. Table 2 summarizes the MODE/SYNC function and the operating switching frequency with various conditions.

The thermal shutdown threshold for the junction is typically 155°C. Both, high-side and low-side power MOSFETs are turned off until the junction temperature has decreased under the hysteresis level, typically 15°C below the shutdown temperature. 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2018, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMZM23600 LMZM23600 www.ti.com SNVSB53 – FEBRUARY 2018 8.4 Device Functional Modes 8.4.1 Shutdown The LMZM23600 device shuts down most internal circuitry and high-side and low-side power MOSFETs under any of the following conditions: 1. EN is low 2. VIN is below the falling UVLO threshold 3. Junction temperature exceeds TSD threshold The PGOOD flag remains operational with input voltage as low as 1.5 V. 8.4.2 FPWM Operation 8.4.3 Auto PFM Mode Operation If MODE/SYNC is below the VMODE/SYNC low threshold, reverse current in the inductor is not allowed. This feature is called diode emulation. While the load is heavy, the regulator uses PWM mode to control the output. If the load is light, the control logic transitions to PFM mode. The switching frequency is reduced, resulting in excellent energy savings while regulation is maintained. Because the frequency is reduced and switching pulses can come in groups, the output voltage ripple can increase slightly. Under this condition, the output ripple can be reduced by increasing the output capacitance. Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2018, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMZM23600 15 ADVANCE INFORMATION If MODE/SYNC is above the VMODE/SYNC high threshold or a valid synchronizing is applied to MODE/SYNC, constant frequency operation is maintained across load. The ADJ option of the device folds back the frequency when VIN exceeds 28 V typical so that the output voltage can be properly regulated. See Table 2 for all use cases and options. FPWM mode requires negative current be allowed in the inductor if the load is light. If a large negative load is present, operation is halted by a reverse current limit, IL-NEG.

TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality. 9.1 Application Information The LMZM23600 device is a step-down nano module, typically used to efficiently convert a high DC input voltage to a lower DC output voltage with a maximum output current of up to 1 A. The following sections describe a simple design procedure for creating a DC-DC converter design with these modules. 9.2 Typical Applications ADVANCE INFORMATION The LMZM23600 module requires very few external components for a complete DC-DC converter design. If the output voltage for the application is 3.3 V or 5 V, the fixed output voltage option of the LMZM23600 device can be used. In such cases, the design is as simple as adding only an input and an output capacitor. The adjustable output voltage version of the device allows the user to set the output voltage between 2.5 V and 15 V with the addition of two feedback resistors to the bill of materials.

This component provides the pulsing high di/dt current every switching cycle and reduces the input voltage ripple seen by the buck converter. Use a good-quality 10-µF, 1210 (3225) case size, X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor with sufficient voltage rating on the input of the device. Alternatively, in applications with strict size constraints and more stable input voltage it is possible to use a 10-µF 1206 (3216) case size or a parallel combination of 2 × 4.7 µF, 0805 (2012), X5R or X7R capacitors. Ceramic capacitors have a DC bias dependence on their effective capacitance and can de-rate their value significantly when used at higher bias voltage. TI recommends ceramic capacitors with ≥ 50-V rating when using the device with a 24-V input supply. Ceramic capacitors with ≥ 25-V rating are recommended when using the device with a 12-V input supply. Just like with any buck converter, place the input capacitor as close as possible and next to the LMZM23600. Connect the capacitor directly to the VIN (pin 3) and GND (pin 1) terminals of the device. This placement ensures that the area of the high di/dt current loop in the buck converter is kept to a minimum, resulting in the lowest possible inductance in the switching current path. The proper placement of the input capacitor in any buck converter helps to keep the output noise of the converter to a minimum. See Table 4 for several input capacitor choices.

There is a requirement for minimum capacitance on the output of the LMZM23600 in order to ensure stable operation. The minimum output capacitance requirement depends on the output voltage setting. There is also a maximum capacitance value for stability and in order to limit the in-rush supply current. Excessive output capacitance can result in excessive current to be drawn from the input supply during startup. If the overcurrent condition is persistent during start-up, the over current protection of the LMZM23600 can activate and affect the normal output voltage ramp up. In extreme cases, the Hiccup Mode operation can be activated during start-up if the maximum output capacitance is exceeded. Refer to Table 5 for the minimum, recommended, and maximum output capacitance values for each output voltage. For this example with a 5-V output a 22-µF capacitor can be used. Table 5.

The output voltage is then set by a feedback voltage divider formed by two external resistors, RFBT and RFBB. VOUT = VREF u RFBB + RFBT RFBB (1) The range of adjustable output voltage is 2.5 V to 15 V. Choose a value for RFBT in the kΩ range, and calculate the bottom resistor RFBB using Equation 2: RFBT RFBB = VOUT 1 VREF (2) For this design example the output voltage is set to 5 V. The fixed 5-V output voltage option of the LMZM23600 can be used without any feedback resistors. If the adjustable output option is used for this design condition, the top feedback resistor RFBT can be set to 102 kΩ. The RFBB value results in 25.5 kΩ. The PGOOD terminal of the LMZM23600 is an open-drain output. If the application requires a power-good flag, use a 100-kΩ pullup resistor from the PGOOD terminal to an external voltage rail. If a power-good function is not necessary, the PGOOD terminal can be left floating. 9.2.2.5 VIN Divider and Enable If the application requires custom input UVLO level higher than the internal UVLO, a voltage divider can be connected from VIN to the EN terminal to set the turnon threshold.

The required input current depends on the application's minimum input voltage, the required maximum output current, the output voltage, and the converter efficiency η for this condition. IIN t VOUT u IOUTMAX VINMIN u K (4) As an example, assuming that the adjustable output voltage version of the LMZM23600 is used for a 5-V, 0.5-A output converter design with 12-V minimum input voltage. The conversion efficiency for this condition is about 85 %. The required input current from the supply would be 0.49 A, so an input power supply with ≥ 0.5 A current capability would be recommended. ADVANCE INFORMATION 10.3 Supply Input Connections Long input connection cables can cause issues with the normal operation of any buck converter. Some of the issues could be a voltage drop in the input voltage or stability probes because of the added series input inductance. 10.3.1 Voltage Drops Using long input wires to connect the supply to the input of any converter adds impedance in series with the input supply. This impedance can cause a voltage drop at the VIN pin of the converter when the output of the converter is loaded. If the input voltage is near the minimum input operating voltage for the design, this added voltage drop can cause the converter to drop out or reset. If long wires are used during testing, it is recommended to add some bulk (for example, electrolytic) capacitance at the input of the converter. 10.3.2 Stability The added inductance of long input cables together with the ceramic (and low ESR) input capacitor can result in an underdamped RLC network at the input of the buck converter. This circuit may cause instability, or overvoltage transients at the VIN pin each time the input supply is cycled on and off. If long wires are used, TI recommends adding some electrolytic bulk capacitance in parallel with the ceramic input capacitor. The ESR of the bulk capacitor improves the damping. Use an electrolytic capacitor with a capacitance at least four times larger than the ceramic input capacitance. CBULK t 4 u CCER (5) The required ESR from the bulk capacitor depends on the cable inductance. ESRBULK t LCABLE CCER (6) For example, two cables (one for VIN and one for GND), each 1 meter (approximately 3 feet) long with ~1 mm diameter (18 AWG), placed 1 cm (approximately 0.4 inch) apart forms a rectangular loop resulting in about 1.2 µH of inductance. The inductance in this example can be decreased to almost half if the input wires are twisted. Based on a 10-µF ceramic input capacitor, the recommended parallel CBULK is ≥ 40 µF. Using a 47-µF capacitor is sufficient. Based on about 1.2 µH of inductance and 10 µF of ceramic input capacitance, the recommended ESR of the bulk capacitor is 0.35 Ω or larger. See TI User Guide, Simple Success with Conducted EMI for DCDC Converters for more details on input filter design. 26 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2018, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMZM23600 LMZM23600 www.ti.com SNVSB53 – FEBRUARY 2018 11 Layout 11.1 Layout Guidelines 1. Minimize the inductance in the switching current path of the converter. The switching current path in the buck converter is formed by the input capacitor and the power switches (for example, MOSFETs). A common mistake in many buck converter layouts is placing the input capacitor far from the IC. This introduces inductance in the switching current path, which leads to high frequency ringing on the switching node, which results in high frequency noise coupled all the way to the output voltage. The input capacitor placement affects the amount of noise on the output in a buck converter. Place the input capacitor as close as possible, right next to the LMZM23600 ensures that the switching current path area is kept to a minimum. This results in the lowest possible inductance in the path of high di/dt current. 2. Protect any sensitive nodes in the converter design. The feedback node is usually a sensitive area of the converter and needs to be away from any noise sources. The fixed 5-V and 3.3-V output voltage versions of the LMZM23600 have the feedback resistors internal to the device, and the sensitive node is inside the module. However, if the adjustable option is used, then two feedback resistors are required to set the output voltage. A common mistake in many layouts is placing the divider close to the load, far from the device, and then using a long feedback trace back to the regulator. A long feedback trace can potentially pick up noise from other nearby circuits. TI recommends placing the feedback divider as close as possible to the LMZM23600 device so that the feedback node is as small as possible. 3. Provide enough copper for heat dissipation. The board copper provides a thermal resistance path for the heat to flow out of the package and dissipate into the environment. Place a dog-bone shape of ground (GND) copper under the module for proper heat sinking. Also, place thermal vias to provide a heat path to the other board layers. TI recommends an unbroken GND plane or GND area of copper on the top and bottom layers.

A poor layout can ruin an otherwise perfect schematic design. The good news is that it is relatively easy to achieve an optimized layout when using a module because some of the critical nodes for the board layout are internal to the device. To have a good layout with this module, the designer should follow these main objectives: LMZM23600 SNVSB53 – FEBRUARY 2018 www.ti.com 11.2 Layout Examples INPUT CAPACITOR PLACED NEXT TO THE MODULE OUTPUT CAPACITOR MODULE GND GND GND EN VIN FB MODE PG VIN VOUT VOUT ADVANCE INFORMATION FEEDBACK CONNECTION GND COPPER FOR HEAT SINKING =THERMAL VIAS Figure 37.
