The EN5311QI is a complete DCDC converter solution requiring only two low cost MLCC capacitors. MOSFET switches, PWM controller, Gate-drive, compensation, and inductor are integrated into the tiny 5mm x 4mm x 1.1mm package to provide the smallest footprint possible while maintaining high efficiency, low ripple, and high performance. The converter uses voltage mode control to provide the simplest implementation and high noise immunity. The device operates at a high switching frequency. The high switching frequency allows for a wide control loop bandwidth providing excellent transient performance. The high switching frequency enables the use of very small components making possible this unprecedented level of integration. Integrated Inductor Enpirion has introduced the world’s first product family featuring integrated inductors. The use of an internal inductor localizes the noises associated with the output loop currents. The inherent shielding and compact construction of the integrated inductor reduces the radiated noise that couples into the traces of the circuit board. Further, the package layout is optimized to reduce the electrical path length for the AC ripple currents that are a major source of radiated emissions from DCDC converters. The integrated inductor significantly reduces parasitic effects that can harm loop stability, and makes layout very simple. Enpirion’s proprietary power MOSFET technology provides very low switching loss at frequencies of 4 MHz and higher, allowing for the use of very small internal components, and very wide control loop bandwidth. Unique magnetic design allows for integration of the inductor into the very low profile 1.1mm package. Integration of the inductor virtually eliminates the design/layout issues normally associated with switch-mode DCDC converters. All of this enables much easier and faster integration into various applications to meet demanding EMI requirements. Soft Start Internal soft start circuits limit in-rush current when the device starts up from a power down condition or when the “ENABLE” pin is asserted “high”. Digital control circuitry limits the VOUT ramp rate to levels that are safe for the Power MOSFETS and the integrated inductor. The EN5311QI operates in a constant slew rate when the output voltage is programmed with an internal VID code. The EN5311QI, when in external resistor divider mode, has a constant start up time. Please refer to the Electrical Characteristics table for soft-start slew rates and soft-start time Output voltage is chosen from seven preset values via a three pin VID voltage select scheme. An external divider option enables the selection of any voltage in the 0.6V to VIN0.6V range. This reduces the number of components that must be qualified and reduces inventory burden. The VID pins can be toggled on the fly to implement glitch free dynamic voltage scaling. ©Enpirion 2009 all rights reserved, E&OE 03799 Excess bulk capacitance on the output of the device can cause an over-current condition at 7 11/24/2009 www.enpirion.com Rev:B EN5311QI During initial power up an under voltage lockout circuit will hold-off the switching circuitry until the input voltage reaches a sufficient level to insure proper operation. If the voltage drops below the UVLO threshold the lockout circuitry will again disable the switching. Hysteresis is included to prevent chattering between states. startup. Assuming no-load at startup, the maximum total capacitance on the output, including the output filter capacitor, bulk and decoupling capacitance, at the load, is given as: In VID Mode: COUT_TOTAL_MAX = COUT_Filter + COUT_BULK = 700uF Enable In external divider mode: COUT_TOTAL_MAX = 1.22x10-3/VOUT Farads The ENABLE pin provides a means to shut down the converter or enable normal operation. A logic low will disable the converter and cause it to shut down. A logic high will enable the converter into normal operation. In shutdown mode, the device quiescent current will be less than 1 uA. The nominal value for COUT is 10uF. See the applications section for more details. Over Current/Short Circuit Protection The current limit function is achieved by sensing the current flowing through a sense PMOSFET which is compared to a reference current. When this level is exceeded the PFET is turned off and the N-FET is turned on, pulling VOUT low. This condition is maintained for a period of 1mS and then a normal soft start is initiated. If the over current condition still persists, this cycle will repeat in a “hick-up” mode. NOTE: This pin must not be left floating. Thermal Shutdown When excessive power is dissipated in the chip, the junction temperature rises. Once the junction temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown temperature the thermal shutdown circuit turns off the converter output voltage thus allowing the device to cool. When the junction temperature decreases by 15C°, the device will go through the normal startup process. Under Voltage Lockout Application Information Output Voltage Select optimum compensation, independent of the output voltage selected. To provide the highest degree of flexibility in choosing output voltage, the EN5311QI uses a 3 pin VID, or Voltage ID, output voltage select arrangement. This allows the designer to choose one of seven preset voltages, or to use an external voltage divider. Internally, the output of the VID multiplexer sets the value for the voltage reference DAC, which in turn is connected to the non-inverting input of the error amplifier. This allows the use of a single feedback divider with constant loop gain and Table 1 shows the various VS0-VS2 pin logic states and the associated output voltage levels. A logic “1” indicates a connection to VIN or to a “high” logic voltage level. A logic “0” indicates a connection to ground or to a “low” logic voltage level. These pins can be either hardwired to VIN or GND or alternatively can be driven by standard logic levels. Logic low is defined as VLOW ≤ 0.4V. Logic high is defined as VHIGH ≥ 1.4V. Any level between these two ©Enpirion 2009 all rights reserved, E&OE 03799 8 11/24/2009 www.enpirion.com Rev:B EN5311QI values is indeterminate. These pins must not be left floating.

The EN5311QI uses a separate feedback pin, VFB, when using the external divider. ENABLE VOUT Vout Figure 5. External Divider (VIN > 5.5V).

Refer to the section on Soft-Start for the maximum total capacitance on the output. The output capacitance requirement is a minimum of 10uF. The control loop is designed to be stable with up to 60uF of total output capacitance next to the output pins of the device without requiring modification to the compensation network. VOUT has to be sensed at the last output filter capacitor next to the device. Capacitance above the 10uF minimum should be added if the transient performance is not sufficient using the 10uF. Enpirion recommends a low ESR MLCC type capacitor be used. The output capacitor must use a X5R or X7R or equivalent dielectric formulation. Y5V or equivalent dielectric formulations lose capacitance with frequency, bias, and temperature and are not suitable for switchmode DC-DC converter input and output filter applications. Additional bulk capacitance for decoupling and bypass can be placed at the load as long as there is sufficient separation between the VOUT Sense point and the bulk capacitance. The separation provides an inductance that isolates the control loop from the bulk capacitance.

For VIN ≤ 5.5V LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS* *Optimized PCB Layout file downloadable from the Enpirion Website to assure first pass design success. Recommendation 1: Input and output filter capacitors should be placed on the same side of the PCB, and as close to the EN5311QI package as possible. They should be connected to the device with very short and wide traces. Do not use thermal reliefs or spokes when connecting the capacitor pads to the respective nodes. The +V and GND traces between the capacitors and the EN5311QI should be as close to each other as possible so that the gap between the two nodes is minimized, even under the capacitors. Recommendation 2: DO NOT connect GND pins 3 and 4 together. Pin 3 should be used for the Input capacitor local ground and pin 4 should be used for the output capacitor ground. The ground pad for the input and output filter capacitors should be isolated ground islands and should be connected to system ground as indicated in recommendation 3 and recommendation 5. ©Enpirion 2009 all rights reserved, E&OE 03799 10 11/24/2009 www.enpirion.com Rev:B EN5311QI Recommendation 3: Multiple small vias (0.25mm after copper plating) should be used to connect ground terminals of the Input capacitor and the output capacitor to the system ground plane. This provides a low inductance path for the high-frequency AC currents; thereby reducing ripple and suppressing EMI (see Fig. 6, Fig. 7, and Fig. 8). Recommendation 4: The large thermal pad underneath the component must be connected to the system ground plane through as many thermal vias as possible. The vias should use 0.33mm drill size with minimum one ounce copper plating (0.035mm plating thickness). This provides the path for heat dissipation from the converter. Recommendation 5: The system ground plane referred to in recommendations 3 and 4 should be the first layer immediately below the surface layer (PCB layer 2). This ground plane should be continuous and un-interrupted below the converter and the input and output capacitors that carry large AC currents. If it is not possible to make PCB layer 2 a continuous ground plane, an uninterrupted ground “island” should be created on PCB layer 2 immediately underneath the EN5311QI and its input and output capacitors. The vias that connect the input and output capacitor grounds, and the thermal pad to the ground island, should continue through to the PCB GND layer as well. Recommendation 6: As with any switch-mode DC/DC converter, do not run sensitive signal or control lines underneath the converter package. Recommendation 7: The VOUT sense point should be just after the last output filter capacitor next to the device. Keep the sense trace short in order to avoid noise coupling into the node. Recommendation 8: Keep Ra, Ca, and Rb close to the VFB pin (see Figures 4 and 5). The VFB pin is a high-impedance, sensitive node. Keep the trace to this pin as short as possible. Whenever possible, connect Rb directly to the GND pin instead of going through the GND plane. Figure 6 shows an example schematic for the EN5311QI using the internal voltage select.

Design Considerations for Lead-Frame Based Modules Exposed Metal on Bottom of Package Enpirion has developed a break-through in package technology that utilizes the lead frame as part of the electrical circuit. The lead frame offers many advantages in thermal performance, in reduced electrical lead resistance, and in overall foot print. However, it does require some special considerations. As part of the package assembly process, lead frame construction requires that for mechanical support, some of the lead-frame cantilevers be exposed at the point where wire-bond or internal passives are attached. This results in several small pads being exposed on the bottom of the package. Only the large thermal pad and the perimeter pin pads are to be mechanically or electrically connected to the PC board. The PCB top layer under the EN5311QI should be clear of any metal except for the large thermal pad. The “grayed-out” area in Figure 9 represents the area that should be clear of any metal (traces, vias, or planes), on the top layer of the PCB. NOTE: Clearance between the various exposed metal pads, the thermal ground pad, and the perimeter pins, meets or exceeds JEDEC requirements for lead frame package construction (JEDEC MO-220, Issue J, Date May 2005). The separation between the large thermal pad and the nearest adjacent metal pad or pin is a minimum of 0.20mm, including tolerances. This is shown in Figure 10. ©Enpirion 2009 all rights reserved, E&OE 03799 12 11/24/2009 www.enpirion.com Rev:B EN5311QI Thermal Pad. Connect to Ground plane Figure 9.
