Functional Description
Synchronous Buck Converter
Protection Features:
The
EN5337QI
is
a
synchronous,
programmable power supply with integrated
power MOSFET switches and integrated
inductor. The nominal input voltage range is
2.375V to 5.5V. The output voltage is
programmed using an external resistor divider
network. The control loop is voltage-mode with
a type III compensation network. Much of the
compensation circuitry is internal to the device.
However, a phase lead capacitor is required
along with the output voltage feedback resistor
divider to complete the type III compensation
network. The device uses a low-noise PWM
topology. Up to 3A of continuous output current
can be drawn from this converter. The 5MHz
switching frequency allows the use of small
size input / output capacitors, and realizes a
wide loop bandwidth within a small foot print.
The power supply has the following protection
features:
• Over-current protection (to protect the IC
from excessive load current)
• Thermal shutdown with hysteresis.
• Under-voltage lockout circuit to disable the
converter output when the input voltage is
less than approximately 2.2V

Additional Features:
•
•
The switching frequency can be phaselocked to an external clock to eliminate or
move beat frequency tones out of band.
Soft-start circuit, limiting the in-rush current
when the converter is initially powered up.
The soft start time is programmable with
appropriate choice of soft start capacitor
value.

•
Power good circuit indicating the output
voltage is between 90% and 120% of
programmed value as long as the feedback
loop is closed.
Enable Operation
The ENABLE pin provides a means to enable
normal operation or to shut down the device.
Applying logic high will enable the converter
into normal operation. When the ENABLE pin
is asserted (high) the device will undergo a
normal soft start. A logic low will disable the
converter. A logic low will power down the
device in a controlled manner and the device is
subsequently shut down.
The device will
remain shut-down for the duration of the
ENABLE lockout time (see Electrical
Characteristics Table). If the ENABLE signal is
re-asserted during this time, the device will
power up with a normal soft-start at the end of
the ENABLE lockout time.
Frequency Synchronization
The switching frequency of the DC/DC
converter can be phase-locked to an external
clock source to move unwanted beat
frequencies out of band. To avail this feature,
the clock source should be connected to the
SYNC pin. An activity detector recognizes the
presence of an external clock signal and
automatically phase-locks the internal oscillator
to this external clock. Phase-lock will occur as
long as the input clock frequency is in the
range of 4.5 to 5.5 MHz. When no clock signal
is present, the device reverts to the free
running frequency of the internal oscillator.
Spread Spectrum Mode
The external clock frequency may be swept
between 4.5 MHz and 5.5 MHz at repetition
rates of up to 10 kHz in order to reduce EMI
frequency components.
Soft-Start Operation
Soft start is a means to reduce the in-rush
current when the device is enabled. The output
voltage is ramped up gradually upon start-up.
The output rise time is controlled by the choice
of soft-start capacitor, which is placed between
the SS pin (pin 30) and the AGND pin (pin 32).
©Enpirion 2009 all rights reserved, E&OE
02638
Rise Time: TR ≈ (Css* 67kΩ) ± 25%
During start-up of the converter, the reference
voltage to the error amplifier is linearly
increased to its final level by an internal current
source of approximately 10uA. The soft start
capacitor should be between 4.7nF and 100nf.
Typical soft-start rise time is ~1mS with SS
capacitor value of 15nF. The rise time is
measured from when VIN ≥ VUVLOR and
ENABLE pin voltage crosses its logic high
threshold to when VOUT reaches its
programmed value.
POK Operation
The POK signal is an open drain signal
(requires a pull up resistor to VIN or similar
voltage) from the converter indicating the
output voltage is within the specified range.
The POK signal will be logic high (VIN) when
the output voltage is above 90% of
programmed VOUT. If the output voltage goes
below this threshold, the POK signal will be at
logic low.
Over-Current Protection
The current limit function is achieved by
sensing the current flowing through the Power
PFET. When the sensed current exceeds the
over current trip point, both power FETs are
turned off for the remainder of the switching
cycle. If the over-current condition is removed,
the over-current protection circuit will enable
normal PWM operation. If the over-current
condition persists, the soft start capacitor will
gradually discharge causing the output voltage
to fall. When the OCP fault is removed, the
output voltage will ramp back up to the desired
voltage. This circuit is designed to provide high
noise immunity.
Thermal Overload Protection
Thermal shutdown circuit will disable device
operation when the Junction temperature
exceeds approximately 150ºC. After a thermal
shutdown
event,
when
the
junction
temperature drops by approx 20ºC, the
converter will re-start with a normal soft-start.

Input Under-Voltage Lock-Out
Internal circuits ensure that the converter will
not start switching until the input voltage is
above the specified minimum voltage.
Hysteresis, input de-glitch, and output leading
edge blanking ensure high noise immunity and
prevent false UVLO triggers.
Compensation
The EN5337QI uses a type 3 compensation
network. A piece of the compensation circuit is
the phase lead capacitor CA in Figure 5. This
network will provide wide loop bandwidth and
excellent transient performance for most
applications. It is optimized for use with about
50μF of output filter capacitance at the voltage
sensing point. Additional load decoupling
capacitance may be placed beyond the voltage
sensing point outside the control loop. Voltage
mode operation provides high noise immunity
at light load, and low output impedance.
In some applications modifications to the
compensation may be required. For more
information, contact Enpirion Applications
Engineering support.
Application Information
The EN5337QI output voltage is determined by
the voltage presented at the XFB pin. This
voltage is set by way of a resistor divider
between VOUT and AGND with the midpoint
going to XFB. A phase lead capacitor CA is
also required for stabilizing the loop. Figure 5
shows the required components and the
equations to calculate the values.

Input Capacitor Selection
The EN5337QI requires between 10uF and
20uF of input capacitance. Low-cost, low-ESR
ceramic capacitors should be used as input
capacitors for this converter. The dielectric
must be X5R or X7R rated. Y5V or equivalent
dielectric formulations must not be used as
these lose too much capacitance with
frequency, temperature and bias voltage. In

some applications, lower value capacitors are
needed in parallel with the larger, capacitors in
order to provide high frequency decoupling.
The EN5337QI has been optimized for use

capacitance at the voltage sensing point
Additional load decoupling capacitance may be

Output ripple voltage is determined by the
aggregate output capacitor impedance. Output
impedance, denoted as Z, is comprised of
effective series resistance, ESR, and effective
series inductance, ESL:
Z = ESR + ESL

the impedance and will hence result in lower

During power-up, ENABLE should not be
asserted before PVIN, and PVIN should not be
asserted before AVIN. Tying all three pins
together meets these requirements.
Thermal Considerations
The Enpirion EN5337QI DC-DC converter is
packaged in a 7 x 4 x 1.85mm 38-pin QFN
package. The QFN package is constructed
with copper lead frames that have exposed
thermal pads. The recommended maximum
junction temperature for continuous operation
is 125°C. Continuous operation above 125°C
will reduce long-term reliability. The device has
a thermal overload protection circuit designed
to shut it off at an approximate junction
temperature value of 150°C.
The silicon is mounted on a copper thermal
pad that is exposed at the bottom of the
package. The thermal resistance from the
silicon to the exposed thermal pad is very low.
In order to take advantage of this low
resistance, the exposed thermal pad on the
package should be soldered directly on to a
copper ground pad on the printed circuit board
(PCB). The PCB then acts as a heat sink. In
order for the PCB to be an effective heat sink,
the device thermal pad should be coupled to
copper ground planes or special heat sink
structures designed into the PCB (refer to the
recommendations at the end of this note).
The junction temperature, TJ, is calculated from
the ambient temperature, TA, the device power
dissipation, PD, and the device junction-toambient thermal resistance, θJA in °C/W::
TJ = TA + (PD)(θJA)
©Enpirion 2009 all rights reserved, E&OE
02638
The junction temperature, TJ, can also be
expressed in terms of the device case
temperature, TC, and the device junction-tocase thermal resistance, θJC in °C/W, as
follows:
TJ = TC + (PD)(θJC)
The device case temperature, TC, is the
temperature at the center of the exposed
thermal pad at the bottom of the package.
The device junction-to-ambient and junction-tocase thermal resistances, θJA and θJC, are
shown in the Thermal Characteristics table on
page 3. The θJC is a function of the device and
the 38-pin QFN package design. The θJA is a
function of θJC and the user’s system design
parameters
that
include
the
thermal
effectiveness of the customer PCB and airflow.
The θJA value shown in the Thermal
Characteristics table on page 3 is for free
convection with the device heat sunk (through
the thermal pad) to a copper plated four-layer
PC board with a full ground and a full power
plane following JEDEC EIJ/JESD 51
Standards. The θJA can be reduced with the
use of forced air convection. Because of the
strong
dependence
on
the
thermal
effectiveness of the PCB and the system
design, the actual θJA value will be a function of
the specific application.

Design Considerations
Exposed Metal on Bottom of Package
Lead frames offers many advantages in
thermal performance, in reduced electrical lead
resistance, and in overall foot print. However,
they do require some special considerations.
In the 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
pads are to be mechanically or electrically
connected to the PC board. The PCB top layer
under the EN5337QI should be clear of any
metal except for the large thermal pad and the
perimeter pads. The “grayed-out” area in
Figure 6 represents the area that should be
clear of any metal (traces, vias, or planes), on
the top layer of the PCB.
Figure 6: Lead-Frame Exposed Metal (package bottom view). Grey area highlights exposed metal
below which there should not be any metal (traces, vias, or planes) on the top layer of PCB.
