See the Light Load Efficiency (LLE) section for more information for output voltages < 1.5 V.
The minimum PVIN is 2.95 V or (VOUT + 0.7 V), whichever is greater. See Table 9 for more details.
The maximum PVIN voltage is 17 V or (22 x VOUT), whichever is less. See Table 9 for more details.
The stated limit of the set-point voltage tolerance includes the tolerance of both the internal voltage reference and the internal
adjustment resistor. The overall output voltage tolerance will be affected by the tolerance of the external RSET resistor.
This pin has an internal pull-up. If it is left open, the device operates when input power is applied. A small, low-leakage MOSFET is
recommended for control. When the device is operating and no UVLO resistor divider is present on this pin, the open voltage is typically
2.9 V.

A minimum of 44 µF of external ceramic capacitance is required across the input (VIN and PVIN connected) for proper operation. An
additional 100 µF of bulk capacitance is recommended. It is also recommended to place a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor directly across the
PVIN and PGND pins of the device. Locate the input capacitance close to the device. When operating with split VIN and PVIN rails,
place 4.7µF of ceramic capacitance directly at the VIN pin. See Table 6 for more details.
The amount of required output capacitance varies depending on the output voltage (see Table 5 ). The amount of required capacitance
must include at least 1x 47µF ceramic capacitor. Locate the capacitance close to the device. Adding additional capacitance close to the
load improves the response of the regulator to load transients. See Table 5 and Table 6 more details.
When using both ceramic and non-ceramic output capacitors, the combined maximum must not exceed 5000 µF. It may be necessary to
increase the slow start time when turning on into the maximum capacitance. See the Slow Start (SS/TR) section for information on
adjusting the slow start time.

The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJA, applies to devices soldered directly to a 100 mm x 100 mm double-sided PCB with
2 oz. copper and natural convection cooling. Additional airflow reduces θJA.
The junction-to-top characterization parameter, ψJT, estimates the junction temperature, TJ, of a device in a real system, using a
procedure described in JESD51-2A (sections 6 and 7). TJ = ψJT * Pdis + TT; where Pdis is the power dissipated in the device and TT is
the temperature of the top of the device.
The junction-to-board characterization parameter, ψJB, estimates the junction temperature, TJ, of a device in a real system, using a
procedure described in JESD51-2A (sections 6 and 7). TJ = ψJB * Pdis + TB; where Pdis is the power dissipated in the device and TB is
the temperature of the board 1mm from the device.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Adjusting the Output Voltage
The VADJ control sets the output voltage of the LMZ31704. The output voltage adjustment range is from 0.6V to
5.5V. The adjustment method requires the addition of RSET, which sets the output voltage, the connection of
SENSE+ to VOUT, and in some cases RRT which sets the switching frequency. The RSET resistor must be
connected directly between the VADJ (pin 26) and AGND (pin 23). The SENSE+ pin (pin 27) must be connected
to VOUT either at the load for improved regulation or at VOUT of the device. The RRT resistor must be connected
directly between the RT/CLK (pin 22) and AGND (pin 23). Table 3 gives the standard external RSET resistor for a
number of common bus voltages, along with the recommended RRT resistor for that output voltage.

Capacitor Recommendations for the LMZ31704 Power Supply
Capacitor Technologies
Electrolytic, Polymer-Electrolytic Capacitors
When using electrolytic capacitors, high-quality, computer-grade electrolytic capacitors are recommended.
Polymer-electrolytic type capacitors are recommended for applications where the ambient operating temperature
is less than 0°C. The Sanyo OS-CON capacitor series is suggested due to the lower ESR, higher rated surge,
power dissipation, ripple current capability, and small package size. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors provide
adequate decoupling over the frequency range of 2 kHz to 150 kHz, and are suitable when ambient temperatures
are above 0°C.
Ceramic Capacitors
The performance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is less effective than ceramic capacitors above 150 kHz.
Multilayer ceramic capacitors have a low ESR and a resonant frequency higher than the bandwidth of the
regulator. They can be used to reduce the reflected ripple current at the input as well as improve the transient
response of the output.
Tantalum, Polymer-Tantalum Capacitors
Polymer-tantalum type capacitors are recommended for applications where the ambient operating temperature is
less than 0°C. The Sanyo POSCAP series and Kemet T530 capacitor series are recommended rather than many
other tantalum types due to their lower ESR, higher rated surge, power dissipation, ripple current capability, and
small package size. Tantalum capacitors that have no stated ESR or surge current rating are not recommended
for power applications.
Input Capacitor
The LMZ31704 requires a minimum input capacitance of 44 μF of ceramic type. An additional 100 µF of nonceramic capacitance is recommended for applications with transient load requirements. The voltage rating of
input capacitors must be greater than the maximum input voltage. At worst case, when operating at 50% duty
cycle and maximum load, the combined ripple current rating of the input capacitors must be at least 2 Arms.
Table 6 includes a preferred list of capacitors by vendor. It is also recommended to place a 0.1 µF ceramic
capacitor directly across the PVIN and PGND pins of the device. When operating with split VIN and PVIN rails,
place 4.7µF of ceramic capacitance directly at the VIN pin.
Output Capacitor
The required output capacitance is determined by the output voltage of the LMZ31704. See Table 5 for the
amount of required capacitance. The effects of temperature and capacitor voltage rating must be considered
when selecting capacitors to meet the minimum required capacitance. The required output capacitance can be
comprised of all ceramic capacitors, or a combination of ceramic and bulk capacitors. The required capacitance
must include at least one 47 µF ceramic. When adding additional non-ceramic bulk capacitors, low-ESR devices
like the ones recommended in Table 6 are required. The required capacitance above the minimum is determined
by actual transient deviation requirements. Table 6 includes a preferred list of capacitors by vendor.

VIN and PVIN Input Voltage
The LMZ31704 allows for a variety of applications by using the VIN and PVIN pins together or separately. The
VIN voltage supplies the internal control circuits of the device. The PVIN voltage provides the input voltage to the
power converter system.
If tied together, the input voltage for the VIN pin and the PVIN pin can range from 4.5 V to 17 V. If using the VIN
pin separately from the PVIN pin, the VIN pin must be greater than 4.5 V, and the PVIN pin can range from as
low as 2.95 V to 17 V. When operating from a split rail, it is recommended to supply VIN from 5 V to 12 V, for
best performance. A voltage divider connected to the INH/UVLO pin can adjust either input voltage UVLO
appropriately. See the Programmable Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) section of this datasheet for more
information.
3.3 V PVIN Operation
Applications operating from a PVIN of 3.3 V must provide at least 4.5 V for VIN. It is recommended to supply VIN
from 5 V to 12 V, for best performance. See application note,SNVA692 for help creating 5 V from 3.3 V using a
small, simple charge pump device.
Power Good (PWRGD)
The PWRGD pin is an open drain output. Once the voltage on the SENSE+ pin is between 95% and 104% of the
set voltage, the PWRGD pin pull-down is released and the pin floats. The recommended pull-up resistor value is
between 10 kΩ and 100 kΩ to a voltage source that is 5.5 V or less. The PWRGD pin is in a defined state once
VIN is greater than 1.0 V, but with reduced current sinking capability. The PWRGD pin achieves full current
sinking capability once the VIN pin is above 4.5V. The PWRGD pin is pulled low when the voltage on SENSE+ is
lower than 91% or greater than 108% of the nominal set voltage. Also, the PWRGD pin is pulled low if the input
UVLO or thermal shutdown is asserted, the INH pin is pulled low, or the SS/TR pin is below 1.4 V.
SYNC_OUT
The LMZ31704 provides a 180° out-of-phase clock signal for applications requiring synchronization. The
SYNC_OUT pin produces a 50% duty cycle clock signal that is the same frequency as the device's switching
frequency, but is 180° out of phase. Operating two devices 180° out of phase reduces input and output voltage
ripple. The SYNC_OUT clock signal is compatible with other LMZ3 devices that have a CLK input.

Parallel Operation
Up to six LMZ31704 devices can be paralleled for increased output current. Multiple connections must be made
between the paralleled devices and the component selection is slightly different than for a stand-alone
LMZ31704 device. A typical LMZ31704 parallel schematic is shown in Figure 24. Refer to application note,

Light Load Efficiency (LLE)
The LMZ31704 operates in pulse skip mode at light load currents to improve efficiency and decrease power
dissipation by reducing switching and gate drive losses.
These pulses may cause the output voltage to rise when there is no load to discharge the energy. For output
voltages < 1.5 V, a minimum load is required. The amount of required load can be determined by Equation 2. In
most cases the minimum current drawn by the load circuit will be enough to satisfy this load. Applications
requiring a load resistor to meet the minimum load, the added power dissipation will be ≤ 3.6 mW. A single 0402
size resistor across VOUT and PGND can be used.
(2)
When VOUT = 0.6 V and RSET = OPEN, the minimum load current is 600 µA.

When configured as shown in the front page schematic, the LMZ31704 produces a regulated output voltage
following the application of a valid input voltage. During the power-up, internal soft-start circuitry slows the rate
that the output voltage rises, thereby limiting the amount of in-rush current that can be drawn from the input
source. Figure 25 shows the start-up waveforms for a LMZ31704, operating from a 5-V input (PVIN=VIN) and
with the output voltage adjusted to 1.8 V. Figure 26 shows the start-up waveforms for a LMZ31704 starting up
into a pre-biased output voltage.
Figure 25. Start-Up Waveforms
Figure 26. Start-up into Pre-bias
Pre-Biased Start-Up
The LMZ31704 has been designed to prevent the low-side MOSFET from discharging a pre-biased output.
During pre-biased startup, the low-side MOSFET does not turn on until the high-side MOSFET has started
switching. The high-side MOSFET does not start switching until the slow start voltage exceeds the voltage on the
VADJ pin. Refer to Figure 26.
Remote Sense
The SENSE+ pin must be connected to VOUT at the load, or at the device pins.
Connecting the SENSE+ pin to VOUT at the load improves the load regulation performance of the device by
allowing it to compensate for any I-R voltage drop between its output pins and the load. An I-R drop is caused by
the high output current flowing through the small amount of pin and trace resistance. This should be limited to a
maximum of 300 mV.
NOTE
The remote sense feature is not designed to compensate for the forward drop of nonlinear
or frequency dependent components that may be placed in series with the converter
output. Examples include OR-ing diodes, filter inductors, ferrite beads, and fuses. When
these components are enclosed by the SENSE+ connection, they are effectively placed
inside the regulation control loop, which can adversely affect the stability of the regulator.
Thermal Shutdown
The internal thermal shutdown circuitry forces the device to stop switching if the junction temperature exceeds
175°C typically. The device reinitiates the power up sequence when the junction temperature drops below 165°C
typically.

Output On/Off Inhibit (INH)
The INH pin provides electrical on/off control of the device. Once the INH pin voltage exceeds the threshold
voltage, the device starts operation. If the INH pin voltage is pulled below the threshold voltage, the regulator
stops switching and enters low quiescent current state. The INH pin has an internal pull-up current source,
allowing the user to float the INH pin for enabling the device.
If an application requires controlling the INH pin, use an open drain/collector device, or a suitable logic gate to
interface with the pin. Using a voltage superviser to control the INH pin allows control of the turn-on and turn-off
of the device as opposed to relying on the ramp up or down if the input voltage source.
Figure 27 shows the typical application of the inhibit function. Turning Q1 on applies a low voltage to the inhibit
control (INH) pin and disables the output of the supply, shown in Figure 28. If Q1 is turned off, the supply
executes a soft-start power-up sequence, as shown in Figure 29. A regulated output voltage is produced within
2 ms.

Slow Start (SS/TR)
Connecting the STSEL pin to AGND and leaving SS/TR pin open enables the internal SS capacitor with a slow
start interval of approximately 1.2 ms. Adding additional capacitance between the SS pin and AGND increases
the slow start time. Increasing the slow start time will reduce inrush current seen by the input source and reduce
the current seen by the device when charging the output capacitors. To avoid the activation of current limit and
ensure proper start-up, the SS capacitor may need to be increased when operating near the maximum output
capacitance limit.
Figure 30 shows an additional SS capacitor connected to the SS/TR pin and the STSEL pin connected to AGND.
See Table 8 below for SS capacitor values and timing interval.

Overcurrent Protection
For protection against load faults, the LMZ31704 incorporates output overcurrent protection. The overcurrent
protection mode can be selected using the OCP_SEL pin. Leaving the OCP_SEL pin open selects hiccup mode
and connecting it to AGND selects cycle-by-cycle mode. In hiccup mode, applying a load that exceeds the
regulator's overcurrent threshold causes the regulated output to shut down. Following shutdown, the module
periodically attempts to recover by initiating a soft-start power-up as shown in Figure 31. This is described as a
hiccup mode of operation, whereby the module continues in a cycle of successive shutdown and power up until
the load fault is removed. During this period, the average current flowing into the fault is significantly reduced
which reduces power dissipation. Once the fault is removed, the module automatically recovers and returns to
normal operation as shown in Figure 32.
In cycle-by-cycle mode, applying a load that exceeds the regulator's overcurrent threshold limits the output
current and reduces the output voltage as shown in Figure 33. During this period, the current flowing into the
fault remains high causing the power dissipation to stay high as well. Once the overcurrent condition is removed,
the output voltage returns to the set-point voltage as shown in Figure 34.

Synchronization (CLK)
An internal phase locked loop (PLL) has been implemented to allow synchronization between 200 kHz and
1200 kHz, and to easily switch from RT mode to CLK mode. To implement the synchronization feature, connect
a square wave clock signal to the RT/CLK pin with a duty cycle between 20% to 80%. The clock signal amplitude
must transition lower than 0.5 V and higher than 2.0 V. The start of the switching cycle is synchronized to the
falling edge of RT/CLK pin. In applications where both RT mode and CLK mode are needed, the device can be
configured as shown in Figure 35.
Before the external clock is present, the device works in RT mode and the switching frequency is set by RT
resistor. When the external clock is present, the CLK mode overrides the RT mode. The first time the CLK pin is
pulled above the RT/CLK high threshold (2.0 V), the device switches from RT mode to CLK mode and the
RT/CLK pin becomes high impedance as the PLL starts to lock onto the frequency of the external clock. It is not
recommended to switch from CLK mode back to RT mode because the internal switching frequency drops to
100 kHz first before returning to the switching frequency set by the RT resistor (RRT).
External Clock

Figure 35. RT/CLK Configuration
The synchronization frequency must be selected based on the output voltages of the devices being
synchronized. Table 9 shows the allowable frequencies for a given range of output voltages. For the most
efficient solution, always synchronize to the lowest allowable frequency. For example, an application requires
synchronizing three LMZ31704 devices with output voltages of 1.0 V, 1.2 V and 1.8 V, all powered from
PVIN = 12 V. Table 9 shows that all three output voltages should be synchronized to 300 kHz.

Sequencing (SS/TR)
Many of the common power supply sequencing methods can be implemented using the SS/TR, INH and
PWRGD pins. The sequential method is illustrated in Figure 36 using two LMZ31704 devices. The PWRGD pin
of the first device is coupled to the INH pin of the second device which enables the second power supply once
the primary supply reaches regulation. Figure 37 shows sequential turn-on waveforms of two LMZ31704 devices.

Programmable Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The LMZ31704 implements internal UVLO circuitry on the VIN pin. The device is disabled when the VIN pin
voltage falls below the internal VIN UVLO threshold. The internal VIN UVLO rising threshold is 4.5 V(max) with a
typical hysteresis of 150 mV.
If an application requires either a higher UVLO threshold on the VIN pin or a higher UVLO threshold for a
combined VIN and PVIN, then the UVLO pin can be configured as shown in Figure 40 or Figure 41. Table 10
lists standard values for RUVLO1 and RUVLO2 to adjust the VIN UVLO voltage up.

Layout Considerations
To achieve optimal electrical and thermal performance, an optimized PCB layout is required. Figure 43 thru
Figure 46, shows a typical PCB layout. Some considerations for an optimized layout are:
• Use large copper areas for power planes (PVIN, VOUT, and PGND) to minimize conduction loss and thermal
stress.
• Place ceramic input and output capacitors close to the device pins to minimize high frequency noise.
• Locate additional output capacitors between the ceramic capacitor and the load.
• Keep AGND and PGND separate from one another.
• Place RSET, RRT, and CSS as close as possible to their respective pins.
• Use multiple vias to connect the power planes to internal layers.
