General Description
The LMZ10503 SIMPLE SWITCHER® power module is a
complete, easy-to-use DC-DC solution capable of driving up
to a 3A load with exceptional power conversion efficiency,
output voltage accuracy, line and load regulation. The
LMZ10503 is available in an innovative package that enhances thermal performance and allows for hand or machine
soldering.
The LMZ10503 can accept an input voltage rail between
2.95V and 5.5V and deliver an adjustable and highly accurate
output voltage as low as 0.8V. One megahertz fixed frequency PWM switching provides a predictable EMI characteristic.
Two external compensation components can be adjusted to
set the fastest response time, while allowing the option to use
ceramic and/or electrolytic output capacitors. Externally programmable soft-start capacitor facilitates controlled startup.
The LMZ10503 is a reliable and robust solution with the following features: lossless cycle-by-cycle peak current limit to
protect for over current or short-circuit fault, thermal shutdown, input under-voltage lock-out, and pre-biased startup.
Design Example
For this example the following application parameters exist.
• VIN = 5V
• VOUT = 2.5V
• IOUT = 3A
• ΔVOUT = 20 mVpk-pk
• ΔVo_tran = ±20 mVpk-pk
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 PC board 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 peakto-peak value (ΔVIN) of VIN is specified as follows:
Design Guideline And Operating
Description
Design Steps
LMZ10503 is fully supported by Webench® and offers the
following: component selection, performance, electrical, and
thermal simulations as well as the Build-It board, for a reduced
design time. 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.
where the PWM duty cycle, D, is given by:
If ΔVIN is 1% of VIN, this equals to 50 mV and fSW = 1 MHz

LMZ10503
RESR is the total output capacitor ESR, L is the inductance
value of the internal power inductor, where L = 2.2 µH, and
fSW = 1 MHz. Therefore, per the design example:
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
The minimum output capacitance requirement due to the
PWM ripple voltage is:
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.
Three miliohms is a typical RESR value for ceramic capacitors.
The following equation provides a good first pass capacitance
requirement for a load transient:
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:
Where Istep is the peak to peak load step (for this example
Istep = 10% to 90% of the maximum load), VFB = 0.8V, and
ΔVo_tran is the maximum output voltage deviation, which is
±20 mV.
Therefore the capacitance requirement for the given design
parameters is:
In this particular design the output capacitance is determined
by the load transient requirements.
Table 1 lists some examples of commercially available capacitors that can be used with the LMZ10503.

Output Voltage Setting
A resistor divider network from VOUT to the FB pin determines
the desired output voltage as follows:
Rfbt is defined based on the voltage loop requirements and
Rfbb is then selected for the desired output voltage. 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 = 2.5V) is accurate to within
-2.5% / +2.5% over temperature and over line and load regulation. Additionally, the LMZ10503 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.

TABLE 2. LMZ10503 Compensation Component Values
VIN CO (µF)
(V)
Loop Compensation
5.0
The LMZ10503 preserves flexibility by integrating the control
components around the internal error amplifier while utilizing
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 2 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 2
should be verified before designing into production. A detailed
application note is available to provide verification support,
AN-2013. 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
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

Estimate Power Dissipation And
Board Thermal Requirements
Use the current derating curves in the typical performance
characteristics section to obtain an estimate of power loss
(PIC_LOSS). For the design case of VIN = 5V, VOUT = 2.5V,
IOUT = 3A, TA(MAX) = 85°C , and TJ(MAX) = 125°C, the device
must see a thermal resistance from case to ambient (θCA) of
less than:
301118b5
FIGURE 1. High Current Loops
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 1. Therefore physically
place input capacitor (Cin1) as close as possible to the
LMZ10503 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 x 6 via array with minimum
via diameter of 10mils (254 μm) thermal vias spaced 59mils
(1.5 mm). Ensure enough copper area is used for heat-sinking
to keep the junction temperature below 125°C.
Given the typical thermal resistance from junction to case
(θJC) to be 1.9°C/W (typ.). Continuously operating at a TJ
greater than 125°C will have a shorten life span.
To reach θCA = 69.5°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 1oz. copper
on both the top and bottom metal layers is:
As a result, approximately 7.2 square cm of 1oz. 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, 10mils (254 μm) thermal
vias spaced 59mils (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. For
an example of a high thermal performance PCB layout with
θJA of 20°C/W, refer to the evaluation board application note
AN-2022 and for results of a study of the effects of the PCB
designs, refer to AN-2026.
PC Board Layout Guidelines
PC board layout is an important part of DC-DC converter design. Poor board layout can disrupt the performance of a DCDC 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.

The LMZ10503 features an enable (EN) pin and associated
comparator to allow the user to easily sequence the
LMZ10503 from an external voltage rail, or to manually set
the input UVLO threshold. The turn-on or rising threshold and
hysteresis for this comparator are typically 1.23V and 0.15V
respectively. The precise reference for the enable comparator
allows the user to guarantee that the LMZ10503 will be disabled when the system demands it to be.
Soft-Start Capacitor
Determine the soft-start capacitance with the following relationship
Enable AND UVLO
where VFB is the internal reference voltage (nominally 0.8V),
ISS is the soft-start charging current (nominally 2 µA) and
CSS is the external soft-start capacitance.
Thus, the required soft-start capacitor per unit output voltage
startup time is given by
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
CSS = 2.5 nF / ms
For example, a 4 ms soft-start time will yield a 10 nF capacitance. The minimum soft-start capacitance is 680 pF.
Tracking
For example, suppose that the required input UVLO level is
3.69V. Choosing Renb = 10 kΩ, then we calculate Rent = 20
kΩ.
The LMZ10503 can track the output of a master power supply
during soft-start by connecting a resistor divider to the SS pin.
In this way, the output voltage slew rate of the LMZ10503 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.
30111844
Alternatively, the EN pin can be driven from another voltage
source to cater to system sequencing requirements commonly found in FPGA and other multi-rail applications. The following schematic shows an LMZ10503 that is sequenced to
start based on the voltage level of a master system rail
(VOUT1).
30111857
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 LMZ10503 output voltage, VOUT2, both rise together and reach their target values at the same time. This is
termed ratiometric startup. For this case, the equation governing the values of tracking divider resistors Rtrkb and Rtrkt is
given by
30111845
Soft-Start
The LMZ10503 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 startup and allows the user more control and flexibility
when sequencing the LMZ10503 with other power supplies.
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 LMZ10503. This offset will cause the
LMZ10503 output voltage to reach regulation slightly before
the master supply. A value of 33 kΩ 1% is recommended for
Rtrkt as a compromise between high precision and low quies13
www.national.com
LMZ10503
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 (typ.) current sink to ground.
Additional Features
Enable
LMZ10503
cent current through the divider while minimizing the effect of
the 2 µA soft-start current source.
For example, if the master supply voltage VOUT1 is 3.3V and
the LMZ10503 output voltage was 1.8V, then the value of
Rtrkb needed to give the two supplies identical soft-start times
would be 14.3 kΩ. A timing diagram for this example, the
equal soft-start time case, is shown below.
Pre-Bias Startup Capability
At startup, the LMZ10503 is in a pre-biased 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 pre-biased in these applications through parasitic conduction paths from one supply rail
to another. Even though the LMZ10503 is a synchronous
converter, it will not pull the output low when a pre-bias condition exists. The LMZ10503 will not sink current during startup until the soft-start voltage exceeds the voltage on the FB
pin. Since 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.
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 softstart pin of nominally 14 µA. Subsequent over-current 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 over-current situation is removed, the part will resume normal operation smoothly.
30111859
Tracking - Equal Slew Rates
Alternatively, the tracking feature can be used to have similar
output voltage ramp rates. This is referred to as simultaneous
startup. In this case, the tracking resistors can be determined
based on the following equation
Over-Temperature Protection
When the LMZ10503 senses a junction temperature greater
than 145°C (typ.), both switching MOSFETs are turned off
and the part enters a standby state. Upon sensing a junction
temperature below 135°C (typ.), the part will re-initiate the
soft-start sequence and begin switching once again.
and to ensure proper overdrive of the SS pin
VOUT2 < 0.8 x V OUT1
For the example case of VOUT1 = 5V and VOUT2 = 2.5V, with
Rtrkt set to 33 kΩ as before, Rtrkb is calculated from the above
equation to be 15.5 kΩ. A timing diagram for the case of equal
slew rates is shown below.

This section provides several application solutions with an
associated bill of materials. The compensation for each solution was optimized to work over the full input range. Many
applications have a fixed input voltage rail. It is possible to
modify the compensation to obtain a faster transient response
for a given input voltage operating point.
