DATEL's LSM D3 Series for SMT (surface-mount) are non-isolated DC/DC
converters that accept a 3.3V input (3.0V to 3.6V input range) and deliver 1V, 1.2V,
1.5V, 1.8V, 2V or 2.5V outputs at 10 Amps. LSM D3 SMT's are designed to take onboard 3.3V power and convert it, with the highest efficiency in the smallest space, to
any lower voltage required by today's current-hungry DSP's, ASIC's and CPLD's.
The LSM D3's miniature size makes them ideal for true point-of-use/load power
processing. They occupy a mere 0.7 square inches (4.5 cm2) and are only 0.34
inches (8.64 mm) high. The SMT package is designed for pick and place including
lead free reflow soldering, and they typically require no additional external components.
The LSM's best-in-class power density is achieved with a fully synchronous,
fixed-frequency (300kHz), buck topology that also delivers: high efficiency (94% for
2.5VOUT models), low noise (30mVp-p typ.), tight line/load regulation (±0.1%/±0.25%
max.), quick step response (100μsec), stable no-load operation, and no output
reverse conduction.
The fully functional LSM's feature output overcurrent detection, continuous shortcircuit and over-temperature protection, an output-voltage trim function, a remote on/
off control pin (pull low to disable), and a sense pin. High efficiency enables the LSM
D3's to deliver rated output currents of 10 Amps at ambient temperatures to +70°C
with no air flow (natural convection).
If your low-voltage, high-current requirements have made the use of inefficient
linear regulators impractical, take a look at one of DATEL's easy-to-use, low-cost
LSM SMT's (or equivalent LSN SIP's). All devices are UL/IEC/EN60950 certified and
EMC compliant. UL, CB, HALT and EMC reports are available upon request.

I/O Filtering and Noise Reduction
All models in the LSM D3 Series are tested and specified with external
22μF tantalum input and output capacitors. These capacitors are necessary
to accommodate our test equipment and may not be required to achieve
desired performance in your application. The LSM D3's are designed with
high-quality, high-performance internal I/O caps, and will operate within spec
in most applications with no additional external components.
In particular, the LSM D3's input capacitors are specified for low ESR
and are fully rated to handle the units' input ripple currents. Similarly, the
internal output capacitors are specified for low ESR and full-range frequency
response. As shown in the Performance Curves, removal of the external
22μF tantalum output caps has minimal effect on output noise.
In critical applications, input/output ripple/noise may be further reduced using
filtering techniques, the simplest being the installation of external I/O caps.
External input capacitors serve primarily as energy-storage devices. They
minimize high-frequency variations in input voltage (usually caused by IR
drops in conductors leading to the DC/DC) as the switching converter draws
pulses of current. Input capacitors should be selected for bulk capacitance
(at appropriate frequencies), low ESR, and high rms-ripple-current ratings.
The switching nature of modern DC/DC's requires that the dc input voltage
source have low ac impedance at the frequencies of interest. Highly inductive source impedances can greatly affect system stability. Your specific
system configuration may necessitate additional considerations.

additional external output capacitors. Output capacitors function as true filter
elements and should be selected for bulk capacitance, low ESR, and appropriate frequency response. Any scope measurements of PARD should be
made directly at the DC/DC output pins with scope probe ground less than

All external capacitors should have appropriate voltage ratings and be located
as close to the converters as possible. Temperature variations for all relevant
parameters should be taken into consideration.
The most effective combination of external I/O capacitors will be a function
of your line voltage and source impedance, as well as your particular load and
layout conditions. Our Applications Engineers can recommend potential solutions and discuss the possibility of our modifying a given device’s internal filtering to meet your specific requirements. Contact our Applications Engineering
Group for additional details.
Input Fusing
Most applications and or safety agencies require the installation of fuses at
the inputs of power conversion components. LSM D3 Series DC/DC converters are not internally fused. Therefore, if input fusing is mandatory, either a
normal-blow or a fast-blow fuse with a value no greater than 17 Amps should
be installed within the ungrounded input path to the converter.
As a rule of thumb however, we recommend to use a normal-blow or slowblow fuse with a typical value of about twice the maximum input current,
calculated at low line with the converters minimum efficiency.
Input Overvoltage and Reverse-Polarity Protection
LSM D3 SMT Series DC/DC's do not incorporate either input overvoltage
or input reverse-polarity protection. Input voltages in excess of the specified
absolute maximum ratings and input polarity reversals of longer than "instantaneous" duration can cause permanent damage to these devices.
Start-Up Time
The VIN to VOUT Start-Up Time is the interval between the time at which a
ramping input voltage crosses the lower limit of the specified input voltage
range (3 Volts) and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains within
its specified accuracy band. Actual measured times will vary with input source
impedance, external input capacitance, and the slew rate and final value of
the input voltage as it appears to the converter.
The On/Off to VOUT Start-Up Time assumes the converter is turned off via the
On/Off Control with the nominal input voltage already applied to the converter.
The specification defines the interval between the time at which the converter
is turned on and the fully loaded output voltage enters and remains within its
specified accuracy band. See Typical Performance Curves.
Remote Sense
LSM D3 SMT Series DC/DC converters offer an output sense function on
pin 6. The sense function enables point-of-use regulation for overcoming
moderate IR drops in conductors and/or cabling. Since these are non-isolated
devices whose inputs and outputs usually share the same ground plane,
sense is provided only for the +Output.
The remote sense line is part of the feedback control loop regulating the
DC/DC converter’s output. The sense line carries very little current and
consequently requires a minimal cross-sectional-area conductor. As such, it
is not a low-impedance point and must be treated with care in layout and
cabling. Sense lines should be run adjacent to signals (preferably ground),
and in cable and/or discrete-wiring applications, twisted-pair or similar techniques should be used. To prevent high frequency voltage differences between
VOUT and Sense, we recommend installation of a 1000pF capacitor close to
the converter.
The sense function is capable of compensating for voltage drops between the
+Output and +Sense pins that do not exceed 10% of VOUT.
[VOUT(+) – Common] – [Sense(+) – Common] b 10%VOUT
Power derating (output current limiting) is based upon maximum output current and voltage at the converter's output pins. Use of trim and sense functions can cause the output voltage to increase, thereby increasing output
power beyond the LSM's specified rating. Therefore:
(VOUT at pins) x (IOUT) b rated output power
Safety Considerations
LSM D3 SMT's are non-isolated DC/DC converters. In general, all DC/DC's
must be installed, including considerations for I/O voltages and spacing/
separation requirements, in compliance with relevant safety-agency specifications (usually UL/IEC/EN60950).
In particular, for a non-isolated converter's output voltage to meet SELV
(safety extra low voltage) requirements, its input must be SELV compliant.
If the output needs to be ELV (extra low voltage), the input must be ELV.
www.murata-ps.com
The internal 10.57 resistor between +Sense and +Output (see Figure 1)
serves to protect the sense function by limiting the output current flowing
through the sense line if the main output is disconnected. It also prevents
output voltage runaway if the sense connection is disconnected.
Note: If the sense function is not used for remote regulation, +Sense
(pin 6) must be tied to +Output (pin 4) at the DC/DC converter pins.
For the "B" model number option (sense pad removed), the sense is internally
connected to +VOUT.

On/Off Control
The On/Off Control pin may be used for remote on/off operation. LSM D3
Series DC/DC converters are designed so that they are enabled when the
control pin is left open (open collector) and disabled when the control pin is
pulled low (to less than +0.8V relative to Common). As shown in Figure 4, all
models have an internal 5k7 pull-up resistor to VIN (+Input).
Dynamic control of the on/off function is best accomplished with a mechanical
relay or open-collector/open-drain drive circuit (optically isolated if appropriate). The drive circuit should be able to sink appropriate current when
activated and withstand appropriate voltage when deactivated.

Output Overcurrent Detection
Overloading the power converter's output for an extended time will invariably
cause internal component temperatures to exceed their maximum ratings and
eventually lead to component failure. High-current-carrying components such
as inductors, FET's and diodes are at the highest risk. LSM D3 SMT Series
DC/DC converters incorporate an output overcurrent detection and shutdown
function that serves to protect both the power converter and its load.

Figure 4. Driving the On/Off Control Pin with an Open-Collector Drive Circuit
Applying an external voltage to the On/Off Control pin when no input power is
applied to the converter can cause permanent damage to the converter. The
on/off control function, however, is designed such that the converter can be
disabled (control pin pulled low) while input voltage is ramping up and then
"released" once the input has stabilized (see also power-up sequencing).
Power-up sequencing
If a controlled start-up of one or more LSM D3 Series DC/DC converters
is required, or if several output voltages need to be powered-up in a given
sequence, the On/Off control pin can be driven with an external open collector
device as per Figure 5.
Leaving the input of the external circuit open during power-up will have the
output of the DC/DC converter disabled. When the input to the external open
collector is pulled low, the DC/DC converters output will be enabled.
Output Overvoltage Protection
LSM D3 SMT Series DC/DC converters do not incorporate output overvoltage protection. In the extremely rare situation in which the device’s feedback
loop is broken, the output voltage may run to excessively high levels (VOUT =
VIN). If it is absolutely imperative that you protect your load against any and
all possible overvoltage situations, voltage limiting circuitry must be provided
external to the power converter.
www.murata-ps.com
If the output current exceeds it maximum rating by typically 70% (17 Amps) or
if the output voltage drops to less than 98% of it original value, the LSM D3's
internal overcurrent-detection circuitry immediately turns off the converter,
which then goes into a "hiccup" mode. While hiccupping, the converter will
continuously attempt to restart itself, go into overcurrent, and then shut down.
Under these conditions, the average output current will be approximately
600mA, and the average input current will be approximately 110mA. Once the
output short is removed, the converter will automatically restart itself.
Output Voltage Trimming
Allowable trim ranges for each model in the LSM D3 SMT Series are ±10%.
Trimming is accomplished with either a trimpot or a single fixed resistor. The
trimpot should be connected between +Output and Common with its wiper
connected to the Trim pin as shown in Figure 6 below.
A trimpot can be used to determine the value of a single fixed resistor
which can then be connected, as shown in Figure 7, between the Trim pin
and +Output to trim down the output voltage, or between the Trim pin and
Common to trim up the output voltage. Fixed resistors should have absolute
TCR’s less than 100ppm/oC to ensure stability.
The equations below can be starting points for selecting specific trim-resistor
values. Recall, untrimmed devices are guaranteed to be p1% accurate.
Adjustment beyond the specified ±10% adjustment range is not recommended.
When using trim in combination with Remote Sense, the maximum rated power
must not be exceeded (see Remote Sense).

Output Reverse Conduction
Many DC/DC's using synchronous rectification suffer from Output Reverse
Conduction. If those devices have a voltage applied across their output before
a voltage is applied to their input (this typically occurs when another power
supply starts before them in a power-sequenced application), they will either
fail to start or self destruct. In both cases, the cause is the "freewheeling" or
"catch" FET biasing itself on and effectively becoming a short circuit.

The highest temperatures in LSM D3 SMT's occur at their output inductor,
whose heat is generated primarily by I 2 R losses. The derating curves were
developed using thermocouples to monitor the inductor temperature and
varying the load to keep that temperature below +110°C under the assorted
conditions of air flow and air temperature. Once the temperature exceeds
+115°C (approx.), the thermal protection will disable the converter. Automatic
restart occurs after the temperature has dropped below +110°C.

The typical output-current thermal-derating curves shown below enable
designers to determine how much current they can reliably derive from each
model of the LSM D3 SMT's under known ambient-temperature and air-flow
conditions. Similarly, the curves indicate how much air flow is required to
reliably deliver a specific output current at known temperatures.
As you may deduce from the derating curves and observe in the efficiency
curves on the following pages, LSM D3 SMT's are more efficient at lower
current levels. Also I2R losses in the output inductor are significantly less at
lower current levels. Consequently, LSN-D3 SMT's deliver very impressive
temperature performance if operating at less than full load.
Lastly, when LSM D3 SMT's are installed in system boards, they are obviously subject to numerous factors and tolerances not taken into account here.
If you are attempting to extract the most current out of these units under
demanding temperature conditions, we advise you to monitor the outputinductor temperature to ensure it remains below +110°C at all times.

Start Up Considerations
Solutions
When power is first applied to the DC/DC converter, operation is different
than when the converter is running and stabilized. There is some risk of start
up difficulties if you do not observe several application features. Lower input
voltage converters may have more problems here since they tend to have
higher input currents. Operation is most critical with any combination of the
following external factors:
To improve start up, review the conditions above. One of the better solutions
is to place a moderate size capacitor very close to the input terminals. You
may need two parallel capacitors. A larger electrolytic or tantalum cap supplies the surge current and a smaller parallel low-ESR ceramic cap gives low
AC impedance. Too large an electrolytic capacitor may have higher internal
impedance (ESR) and/or lower the start up slew rate enough to upset the
DC/DC’s controller. Make sure the capacitors can tolerate reflected switching
current pulses from the converter.
1 - Low initial input line voltage and/or poor regulation of the input source.
2 – Full output load current on lower output voltage converters.
3 – Slow slew rate of input voltage.
4 – Longer distance to input voltage source and/or higher external input
source impedance.
5 - Limited or insufficient ground plane. External wiring that is too small.
6 – Too small external input capacitance. Too high ESR.
7 – High output capacitance causing a start up charge overcurrent surge.
8 – Output loads with excessive inductive reactance or constant current
characteristics.
If the input voltage is already at the low limit before power is applied, the start
up surge current may instantaneously reduce the voltage at the input terminals to below the specified minimum voltage. Even if this voltage depression
is very brief, this may interfere with the on-board controller and possibly
cause a failed start. Or the converter may start but the input current load will
now drive the input voltage below its running low limit and the converter will
shut down.
If you measure the input voltage before start up with a Digital Voltmeter
(DVM), the voltage may appear to be adequate. Limited external capacitance
and/or too high a source impedance may cause a short downward spike at
power up, causing an instantaneous voltage drop. Use an oscilloscope not a
DVM to observe this spike. The converter’s soft-start controller is sensitive to
input voltage. What matters here is the actual voltage at the input terminals
at all times.
Symptoms of start-up difficulties may include failed started, output oscillation
or brief start up then overcurrent shutdown. Since the input voltage is never
absolutely constant, the converter may start up at some times and not at
others.
www.murata-ps.com
The capacitors will not help if the input source has poor regulation. A
converter which starts successfully at 3.3 Volts will turn off if the input voltage
decays to below the input voltage theshold, regardless of external capacitance.
Increase the input start up voltage if possible to raise the downward voltage
spike. Also, make sure that the input voltage ramps up in a reasonably short
time (less than a few milliseconds). If possible, move the input source closer
to the converter to reduce ohmic losses in the input wiring. Remember that
the input current is carried both by the wiring and the ground plane return.
Make sure the ground plane uses adequate thickness copper. Run additional
bus wire if necessary.
Any added output capacitor should use just enough capacitance (and no
more) to reduce output noise at the load and to avoid marginal threshold
noise problems with external logic. An output cap will also “decouple”
inductive reactance in the load. Certain kinds of electronic loads include
“constant current” characteristics which destabilize the output with insufficient
capacitance. If the wiring to the eventual load is long, consider placing this
decoupling cap at the load. Use the Remote Sense input to avoid ohmic
voltage drop errors.
An elegant solution to start up problems is to apply the input voltage with the
Remote On/Off control first in the off setting (for those converters with an
On/Off Control). After the specified start-up delay (usually under 20 mSec),
turn on the converter. The controller will have already been stabilized. The
short delay will not be noticed in most applications. Be aware of applications
which need “power management” (phased start up).
Finally, it is challenging to model some application circuits with absolute fidelity. How low is the resistance of your ground plane? What is the inductance
(and distributed capacitance) of external wiring? Even a detailed mathematical model may not get all aspects of your circuit. Therefore it is difficult to
give cap values which serve all applications. Some experimentation may be
required.

10 Amp DC/DC’s in SMT Packages
Tape & Reel Surface Mount Package
DATEL's LSM series DC/DC converters are the only higher-current (10A)
SMT DC/DC's that can be automatically "pick-and-placed" using standard
vacuum-pickup equipment (nozzle size and style, vacuum pressure and
placement speed may need to be optimized for automated pick and place)
and subsequently reflowed using high-temperature, lead-free solder.
Virtually all SMT DC/DC's today are unprotected "open-frame" devices
assembled by their vendors with high-temperature solder (usually
Sn96.5/Ag3.5 with a melting point +221°C) so that you may attach them
to your board using low-temperature solder (usually Sn63/Pb37 with a melting point of +183°C). Conceptually straightforward, this "stepped" solder
approach has its limitations, and it is clearly out of step with an industry
trending toward the broad use of lead-free solders. Are you to experiment
and develop reflow profiles from other vendors that ensure the components
on those DC/DC never exceed 215-216°C? If those components get too hot,
"double-reflow" could compromise the reliability of their solder joints. Virtually
all these devices demand you "cool down" the Sn63 profile you are likely
using today.
DATEL is not exempted from the Laws of Physics, and we do not have magic
solders no one else has. Nevertheless, we have a simple and practical,
straightforward approach that works. We assemble our LSM SMT DC/DC's
using a high-temperature (+216°C), lead-free alloy (Sn96.2%, Ag2.5%,
Cu0.8%, Sb0.5%). The LSM design ensures co-planarity to within 0.004
inches (100μ1m) of the unit's copper leads. These leads are gold-plated with
a nickel underplate. See Mechanical Data for additional information.
The disposable heat shield (patent pending), which has a cutaway exposing
the package leads, provides thermal insulation to internal components during
reflow and its smooth surface ideally doubles as the vacuum pick-up location
also. The insulation properties of the heat shield are so effective that temperature differentials as high as 50°C develop inside-to-outside the shield.
Oven temperature profiles with peaks of 250-260°C and dwell times exceeding 2 minutes above 221°C (the melting point of Sn96.5/Ag3.5) are easily
achieved.
