Digital DC/DC PMBus 10A Power Module ZL9010M Features The ZL9010M is a 10A variable output, step-down PMBus-compliant digital power supply. Included in the module is a high-performance digital PWM controller, power MOSFETs, an inductor, and all the passive components required for a highly integrated DC/DC power solution. This power module has built-in auto-compensation algorithms, which eliminates the need for manual compensation design work. The ZL9010M operates over a wide input voltage range and supports an output voltage range of 0.6V to 3.6V, which can be set by external resistors or via PMBus. Only bulk input and output capacitors are needed to finish the design. The output voltage can be precisely regulated to as low as 0.6V with ±1% output voltage regulation over line, load, and temperature variations. • Complete digital switch mode power supply The ZL9010M functions as a switch mode power supply with added benefits of auto compensation, programmable power management features, parametric monitoring, and status reporting capabilities. • Server, telecom, and datacom • Auto compensating PID filter • ±1% output voltage accuracy • External synchronization • Output voltage tracking • Current sharing and phase interleaving • Programmable sequencing (delay and ramp time) • Snapshot™ parametric capture • PMBus compliant Applications • Industrial and medical equipment • General purpose point of load Related Literature The ZL9010M is packaged in a thermally enhanced, compact (17.2mm x 11.45mm) and low profile (2.5mm) over-molded high-density array (HDA) package module suitable for automated assembly by standard surface mount equipment. The ZL9010M is Pb-free and RoHS compliant. • See AN2033, “Zilker Labs PMBus Command Set - DDC Products” • See AN2034, “Configuring Current Sharing on the ZL2004 and ZL2006” Figure 1 represents a typical implementation of the ZL9010M.

TEST CIRCUIT FOR ALL PERFORMANCE AND DERATING CURVES NOTES: 20. The I2C/PMbus requires pull-up resistors. Please refer to the I2C/PMbus specifications for more details. 21. The DDC bus requires a pull-up resistor. The resistance will vary based on the capacitive loading of the bus (and on the number of devices connected). The 10kΩ default value, assuming a maximum of 100pF per device, provides the necessary 1µs pull-up rise time. Please refer to “Digital-DC Bus” on page 23 for more details. 22. Additional capacitance may be required to meet specific transient response targets. Application Information Internal Bias and Input Voltage Considerations Beside VIN supplying the main power conversion, the ZL9010M employs two internal low dropout (LDO) regulators to supply bias voltages for internal circuitry allowing it to operate from a single input supply. The internal bias regulators are as indicated in the following: VR - The VR LDO provides a regulated 5V bias supply for the MOSFET driver circuits. It is powered from the VDD pin. V25 - The V25 LDO provides a regulated 2.5V bias supply for the main controller circuitry. It is powered from an internal 5V node. When the input supply (VDD) is higher than 5.5V, the VR pin should not be connected to any other pin. Due to the dropout voltage associated with the VR bias regulator, the VDD pin can be connected to the VR pin for designs operating from a supply below 5.5V. The internal bias regulators are not designed to be outputs for powering other circuitry, so keep current into the VDD pin below 80mA. auto-compensation may not work correctly as the VDD voltage is used to measure input voltage as part of the Pre-Bias and Auto-compensation calculation. Pre-programming Configuration The Intersil digital power module allows pre-programming before the main power rail is supplied to the VIN pins of the module. If the system bias (i.e., 3.3V bias) is available, the power module can be programmed to load the configuration file or change the settings without main power being on. See Figure 20 for an example with 3.3V bias voltage and 12V input voltage for the main power rail. To pre-program the module without applying power to the VIN pin, the bias voltage 3.3V is applied to pin VR through a Schottky diode such that 3.0 < VR and less than VDD when VIN is applied. The body diode of the PMOS will be reverse biased, and prevent back feeding to the VIN rail. When the main power rail 12V VIN is ON, the PMOS is ON to supply the power to the module. In this case, only small voltage is dropped on the PMOS, so the controller can still detect the input voltage accurately. If there are more Intersil digital modules on the board, only one PMOS (as shown in Figure 20) is required to drive the VIN voltages of all modules. Typically, VDD is connected directly to VIN. In the case that VDD is powered separately from VIN, the recommended power sequence is to keep EN low, power VDD, and then VIN. When the voltage is applied to VIN, VDD should also be applied to avoid unintentional turn-on of the internal high-side MOSFET. If the VDD voltage is different from VIN, Pre-bias start-up and 12 FN8422.0 March 5, 2013 ZL9010M In addition to the bulk capacitance, some low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitance should be placed as close as possible to decouple between the drain terminal of the high side MOSFET (VIN PAD1) and the source terminal of the low side MOSFET (PGND PAD2). This is used to reduce voltage ringing created by the switching current across parasitic circuit elements. This ripple’s (ICINrms) impact should be considered, and can be determined from Equation 2: I CINrms = I OUT × D × ( 1 – D ) FIGURE 20. PRE-PROGRAMMING CONFIGURATION Design Trade-offs with Switching Frequency For design of the buck power stage, there is a trade-off when choosing switching frequency to achieve higher power supply efficiency, output ripple, and transient response. For output voltages below 2.0V, a lower switching frequency results in higher efficiency. A lower output ripple and faster transient response is achieved with higher switching frequencies, and thereby can reduce the required amount of output capacitance. Also, given an input to output voltage relation, there is a limitation on the allowable switching frequency due to normal part operation. See “Switching Frequency and PLL” for more considerations. To start the design with a goal of high efficiency, select a frequency based on Table 1. To achieve good transient response, a minimum switching frequency of 615kHz is recommended. TABLE 1. OPTIMAL SWITCHING FREQUENCY FOR EFFICIENCY V0-VIN 3.3V (kHz) 5.0V (kHz) 12.0V (kHz) 0.6 - 1.5 300 400 400 1.5 - 2.5 300 615 615 2.5 - 3.6 300 471 800 (EQ. 2) Without capacitive filtering near the power supply circuit, this current would flow through the supply bus and return planes, coupling noise into other system circuitry. The input capacitors should be rated at 1.2X the ripple current calculated in Equation 2 to avoid overheating of the capacitors due to the high ripple current, which can cause premature failure. Selection of the Output Capacitors The ZL9010M is designed for low output voltage ripple. The output voltage ripple and transient requirements can be met with bulk output capacitors (COUT) with low ESR; the recommended minimum ESR is <6MΩ. COUT can be a low ESR tantalum capacitor, a low ESR polymer capacitor or a ceramic capacitor. The typical output capacitance range is from 200µF to 1200µF, and decoupling ceramic output capacitors are used per phase. The optimized output capacitance is 700µF with an ESR of 5mΩ. The maximum recommended product of output capacitance and equivalent ESR value is given by [COUT x ESR] <3600 (µF x mΩ). With a step load faster than 0.2A/µs, the recommended amount of output capacitor is 100µF per ampere of step load. Additional output filtering may be needed if further reduction of output ripple or dynamic transient spikes are required. Functional Description Completing a Power Supply Design Multi-mode Pins To achieve a power supply design with digital capabilities using ZL9010M, only input and output capacitors and two resistors are needed. The two resistors are installed on the SA and V1 pins for setting the I2C address and output voltage, respectively. In order to simplify circuit design, the ZL9010M family incorporates patented multi-mode pins that allow the user to easily configure many aspects of the device without programming. Most power management features can be configured using these pins. The multi-mode pins can respond to two types of configurations summarized in Table 2: pin strapping and resistor programming. These pins are sampled when power is applied or by issuing a PMBus Restore command (see Application Note AN2033). Selection of the Input Capacitor The input filter capacitor should be based on how much ripple the supply can tolerate on the DC input line. The larger the capacitor, the less ripple expected, but consideration should be taken for the higher surge current during power-up. The ZL9010M provides the soft-start function that controls and limits the current surge. The value of the input capacitor can be calculated by Equation 1: D • (1 – D) C IN ( MIN ) = I O • ------------------------------------------•F V P-P ( MAX ) S Where: CIN(MIN) is the minimum input capacitance (µF) required IO is the output current (A) D is the duty cycle (VO/VIN) VP-P(MAX) is the maximum peak-to-peak voltage (V) FS is the switching frequency (Hz) 13 (EQ. 1) With pin strapping, parameters can be set by strapping the pins in one of three possible states: LOW, OPEN, or HIGH. These pins can be connected to SGND for logic LOW as this pin provides a voltage lower than 0.8V. For logic OPEN, they have no connection. These pins can be connected to the V25 pin for logic HIGH settings as this pin provides a regulated voltage higher than 2V when power is applied to the VDD pin. Resistor programming allows a greater range of adjustability when connecting a finite value resistor (in a specified range) between the multi-mode pin and SGND. Standard 1% resistor values are used, and only every fourth standard resistor value is used so the device can reliably recognize the value of resistance FN8422.0 March 5, 2013 ZL9010M connected to the pin while eliminating the error associated with the resistor accuracy. Up to 31 unique selections are available using a single resistor. TABLE 2. MULTI-MODE PIN CONFIGURATION PIN TIED TO VALUE LOW (Logic LOW) <0.8VDC OPEN (N/C) No connection HIGH (Logic HIGH) >2.0VDC Resistor to SGND Set by resistor value ZL9010M supports 100kHz and 400kHz I2C clock speed with communication interval of 20ms between STORE and RESTORE commands, and ~2ms for other general commands. I2C/PMbus Module Address Selection Each module must have its own unique serial address to distinguish between other devices on the bus. The module address is set by connecting a resistor between the SA pin and SGND. Table 3 lists the available module addresses. TABLE 3. PMbus ADDRESS VALUES RSA (kΩ) PMbus ADDRESS LOW 0x23 OPEN 0x24 HIGH 0x25 10 0x50 11 0x51 12.1 0x52 SA sets the I2C address, phase spreading, and Reference/Member assignment in current sharing mode. The effective phase spreading depends on the mode of operation. The Reference/Member is pre-assigned in current sharing mode, and up to 8 two-phase with 5 three-phase current-shared group is possible. 13.3 0x53 14.7 0x54 16.2 0x55 17.8 0x56 FC0 is used to distinguish between the two modes of operation, and is used in combination with SA in current sharing mode. FC0 pin strapping and resistor programming in the range of 10kΩ - 42.2kΩ set the operation to single-phase mode, while the range of 46.4kΩ - 178kΩ is for current sharing mode. FC0 also sets the Autcomp and Sync configuration. 19.6 0x57 21.5 0x58 23.7 0x59 26.1 0x5A 28.7 0x5B SYNC sets the switching frequency, and is only effective in single-phase mode, as SYNC pins are connected together in current-sharing mode. 31.6 0x5C 34.8 0x5D 38.3 0x5E 42.2 0x5F There are five multi-mode pins in ZL9010M: FC0, SA, SYNC, SS, V1. The multi-mode pin configuration can set ZL9010M power management features and mode of operation to both single-phase and current-sharing without any programming. SA and V1 are the only two pins that must be set for a general single-phase operation, which use the default settings associated with the other three pins, or overriding other parameters via the I2C/PMbus. SS sets the ramp timing, UVLO, and tracking. V1 sets the output voltage. SS and V1 are the same purpose in single-phase and current-share modes. 46.4 0x60 I2C/PMbus Communications 51.1 0x61 The ZL9010M provides an I2C/PMbus digital interface that 56.2 0x62 enables the user to configure all aspects of the module operation as well as monitor the input and output parameters. The ZL9010M can be used with any I2C host device. In addition, the module is compatible with PMbus version 2.0 and includes a SALRT line to help mitigate bandwidth limitations related to continuous fault monitoring. Pull-up resistors are required on the I2C/PMbus as specified in the PMbus 2.0 specification. The ZL9010M accepts most standard PMBus commands. When controlling the device with PMBus commands, it is recommended that the enable pin be tied to SGND. 61.9 0x63 68.1 0x64 75 0x65 82.5 0x66 90.9 0x67 100 0x68 110 0x69 The PMbus device address and VOUT_MAX are the only parameters that must be set by external pins. All other device parameters can be set via the I2C/PMbus. The device address is set using the SA pin. VOUT_MAX is determined as 10% greater than the voltage set by the V1 pin. 14 121 0x6A 133 0x6B 147 0x6C 162 0x6D 178 0x6E FN8422.0 March 5, 2013 ZL9010M Phase Spreading for a Single-phase Mode of Operation When multiple point-of-load converters share a common DC input supply, it is desirable to adjust the clock phase offset of each device such that not all devices start to switch simultaneously. Setting each converter to start its switching cycle at a different point in time can dramatically reduce input capacitance requirements and efficiency losses. Since the peak current drawn from the input supply is effectively spread out over a period of time, the peak current drawn at any given moment is reduced, and the power losses proportional to the IRMS2 are reduced dramatically. To enable spreading, all converters must be synchronized to the same switching clock. The FC0 pin is used to set the configuration of the SYNC pin for each device as described in “Switching Frequency and PLL” on page 18. Selecting the phase offset for the device in a standalone mode of operation is accomplished by selecting a device address according to the following equation: Phase offset = device address x 45° For example: • A device address of 0x50 or 0x60 would configure no phase offset • A device address of 0x51 or 0x61 would configure 45° of phase offset • A device address of 0x52 or 0x62 would configure 90° of phase offset The phase offset of each device may also be set to any value between 0° and 360° in 22.5° increments via the I2C/PMbus interface. Refer to Application Note AN2033 for further details. Output Voltage Selection The output voltage may be set to a voltage between 0.6V and 3.6V provided that the input voltage is higher than the desired output voltage by an amount sufficient to prevent the device from exceeding its maximum duty cycle specification. The V1 pins are used to set the output voltage using a single resistor, RSET between the V1 pins and SGND. Table 4 lists the available output voltage settings with a single resistor. TABLE 4.

See Application Note AN2033 for details. The RSET resistors program places an upper limit in output voltage setting through PMBUS programming to 10% above the value set by the resistors. FN8422.0 March 5, 2013 ZL9010M Start-up Procedure The ZL9010M follows a specific internal start-up procedure after power is applied to the VDD pin. Table 5 describes the start-up sequence. If the device is to be synchronized to an external clock source, the clock frequency must be stable prior to asserting the EN pin. The device requires approximately 5ms to 6ms to check for specific values stored in its internal memory. If the user has stored values in memory, those values will be loaded. The device will then check the status of all multi-mode pins and load the values associated with the pin settings. Once this process is completed, the device is ready to accept commands via the I2C/PMbus interface and the device is ready to be enabled. Once enabled, the device requires a minimum delay period following an enable signal and prior to ramping its output, as described in “Soft-start Delay and Ramp Times” on page 17. If a soft-start delay period less than the minimum has been configured (using PMBus commands), the device will default to the minimum delay period. If a delay period greater than the minimum is configured, the device will wait for the configured delay period prior to starting to ramp its output. After the delay period has expired, the output will begin to ramp towards its target voltage according to the pre-configured soft-start ramp time that has been set using the SS pin. It should be noted that if the EN pin is tied to VDD, the device will still require approximately 5ms to 6ms before the output can begin its ramp-up as described in Table 5. TABLE 5. ZL9010M START-UP SEQUENCE STEP # STEP NAME DESCRIPTION TIME DURATION 1 Power Applied Input voltage is applied to the ZL9010M’s VDD pin 2 Internal Memory Check 3 Multi-mode Pin Check The device will check for values stored in its internal memory. This step Approximately 5ms to 6ms is also performed after a Restore command. (device will ignore an enable signal or PMBus traffic during this The device loads values configured by the multi-mode pins. period) 4 Device Ready The device is ready to accept an enable signal. 5 Pre-ramp Delay The device requires a minimum delay period following an enable signal and prior to ramping its output, as described in “Soft-start Delay and Ramp Times” on page 17. 16 Depends on input supply ramp time - FN8422.0 March 5, 2013 ZL9010M Soft-start Delay and Ramp Times It may be necessary to set a delay when an enable signal is received until the output voltage starts to ramp to its target value. In addition, the designer may wish to precisely set the time required for VOUT to ramp to its target value after the delay period has expired. These features may be used as part of an overall inrush current management strategy or to precisely control how fast a load IC is turned on. The ZL9010M gives the system designer several options for precisely and independently controlling both the delay and ramp time periods. The soft-start delay period begins when the EN pin is asserted and ends when the delay time expires. The soft-start ramp timer enables a precisely controlled ramp to the nominal VOUT value that begins once the delay period has expired. The ramp-up is guaranteed monotonic and its slope may be precisely set using the SS pin. The soft start delay and ramp times can be set to a custom value by pin-strapping or connecting a resistor from the SS pin to SGND using the appropriate resistor value from Table 6. See “Input Undervoltage Lockout” on page 19 for further explanation of UVLO setting using SS pin. The value of this resistor is measured upon start-up or Restore and will not change if the resistor is varied after power has been applied to the ZL9010M. TABLE 6. SOFT-START PIN-STRAP/RESISTOR SETTINGS With the SS pin OPEN, the default value for delay time and ramp time is 5ms. The soft-start delay and ramp times are set to custom values via the I2C/PMbus interface. When the delay time is set to 0ms, the device begins its ramp-up after the internal circuitry has initialized (approximately 2ms). When the soft-start ramp period is set to 0ms, the output ramps up as quickly as the output load capacitance and loop settings allow. It is generally recommended to set the soft-start ramp to a value greater than 500µs to prevent inadvertent fault conditions due to excessive inrush current. The ZL9010M has a minimum tON_DELAY requirement that is a function of the operating mode. Table 7 shows the different mode configurations and the minimum tON_DELAY required for each mode. Current sharing is configured with the ISHARE_CONFIG PMBus command, Auto compensation is configured with the AUTO_COMP_CONFIG command, and Standby Mode is configured as Low Power with the USER_CONFIG command. See Application Note AN2033 for details. Resistor programming on the SS pin with a delay time of 20ms can be used to satisfied the minimum tON_DELAY of 15ms. TABLE 7. MINIMUM tON_DELAY vs OPERATING MODE CURRENT SHARING AUTOCOMP LOW-POWER STANDBY MIN. tON_DELAY (ms) RSS (kΩ) DELAY TIME (ms) RAMP TIME (ms) UVLO (V) X Disabled False 5 LOW 5 2 4.5 Disabled Enabled False 5 Disabled X True 10 Enabled Disabled True 15 Enabled Enabled X 15 OPEN 5 5 HIGH 10 10 10 5 2 11 5 5 12.1 10 13.3 20 14.7 5 16.2 10 17.8 20 19.6 5 21.5 10 23.7 5 26.1 10 28.7 20 31.6 5 34.8 10 38.3 20 42.2 5 46.4 10 51.1 5 56.2 10 61.9 20 68.1 5 75 10 82.5 20 3 Power-Good 10 2 4.5 A PG delay period is defined as the time when all conditions within the ZL9010M for asserting PG are met, to when the PG pin is actually asserted. This feature is commonly used instead of using an external reset controller to control external digital logic. 5 By default, the ZL9010M PG delay is set to 1ms, and may be changed using the I2C/PMbus as described in Application Note AN2033. 10 2 5 10 17 The ZL9010M provides a Power-Good (PG) signal that indicates the output voltage is within a specified tolerance of its target level and no fault condition exists. By default, the PG pin asserts if the output is within +15/-10% of the target voltage. These limits and the polarity of the pin may be changed via the I2C/PMbus interface. See Application Note AN2033 for details. 10.8 By default, the ZL9010M PG delay is set equal to the soft-start ramp time setting. Therefore, if the soft-start ramp time is set to 6ms, the PG delay is set to 6ms. The PG delay may be set independently of the soft-start ramp using the I2C/PMbus as described in Application Note AN2033. If Auto Comp is enabled, the PG timing is further controlled by the PG Assert parameter, as described in “Loop Compensation” on page 18. FN8422.0 March 5, 2013 ZL9010M Switching Frequency and PLL SYNC SETTING VIA I2C CONSIDERATION The ZL9010M incorporates an internal phase-locked loop (PLL) to clock the internal circuitry. The PLL can be driven by an external clock source connected to the SYNC pin. When using the internal oscillator, the SYNC pin can be configured as a clock source for other Zilker Labs devices. With the FC0 pin, the SYNC pin can be configured as input, Auto detect, and Output. Pinstrap resistor setting to “input” mode is applicable for member devices used in current sharing mode only. The switching frequency can be set to any value between 300kHz and 1.0MHz using the I2C/PMbus interface. The available frequencies below 1.0MHz are defined by fSW = 8MHz/N, where the whole number N is 8 ≤ N ≤ 27. See Application Note AN2033 for details. When multiple modules are used together, connecting the SYNC pins together will force all devices to synchronize with each other. One device must set its SYNC pin as an output and the remaining devices must have their SYNC pins set as Auto Detect. SYNC AUTO DETECT In Auto Detect mode, the module will check for a clock signal on the SYNC pin immediately after power-up. In this case, the incoming clock signal must be in the range of 300kHz to 1.0MHz and must be stable within 10µs after V25 rises above 2.25V. If the device is in Low Power Mode, it will check for a clock signal on the SYNC pin immediately after EN goes true. In this case, the incoming clock signal must be in range and stable before EN goes true. If a clock signal is present, the ZL9010M's oscillator will then synchronize with the rising edge of the external clock. If no incoming clock signal is present, the ZL9010M will configure the switching frequency according to an external resistor, RSYNC, connected between SYNC and SGND using Table 8, given that FC0 used pin-strap or has a resistor RFC0 in the range of 10 to 13.3kΩ. When FC0 is OPEN, or used with resistor settings in the range, the switching frequency of the ZL9010M is set to a default of 615kHz. The module will only read the SYNC pin connection during the first start-up sequence; changes to SYNC pin connections will not affect fSW until the power (VDD) is cycled off and on. Frequency modifications without restarting the VDD power can disable the SYNC auto detect function. SYNC OUTPUT When the SYNC pin is configured as an output via I2C, the device will run from its internal oscillator and will drive the resulting internal oscillator signal onto the SYNC pin so other devices can be synchronized to it. The SYNC pin will not be checked for an incoming clock signal while in this mode. When FC0 is used with resistor settings in the range of 14.7 to 31.6kΩ, the ZL9010M drives the SYNC pin with frequency as described in Table 9, and will ignore any resistor settings on SYNC pin. Similarly, when FC0 is used with selected value of resistors in the range of 46.4-178kΩ, the ZL9010M operates in current sharing mode with the SYNC pin providing clock out. When FC0 is used with resistor settings in the range of 34.8 to 42.2kΩ, the ZL9010M will first read the SYNC pin connection, and drives the SYNC pin with the frequency described in Table 8. In this mode, the SYNC pin should not be pin strapped to LOW or HIGH (voltage source). It is recommended to connect a buffer with high impedance, as seen by the SYNC pin of the module providing the clock out, to subsequently drive the SYNC pin of other devices. If a value other than fSW = 8MHz/N is entered using a PMBus command, the internal circuitry will select the valid switching frequency value that is closest to the entered value. For example, if 810kHz is entered, the device will select 800kHz (N = 10). TABLE 8. SWITCHING FREQUENCY PIN-STRAP/RESISTOR SETTINGS SYNC PIN/ RSYNC (kΩ) fSW (kHz) SYNC PIN/ RSYNC (kΩ) LOW 400 23.7 471 OPEN 615 26.1 533 HIGH 800 28.7 571 14.7 296 31.6 615 16.2 320 34.8 727 17.8 364 38.3 800 19.6 400 46.4 889 21.5 421 51.1 1000 fSW (kHz) Loop Compensation The ZL9010M operates as a voltage-mode synchronous buck controller with a fixed frequency PWM scheme. The module is internally compensated via the I2C/PMbus interface. The auto compensation feature measures the characteristics of the power train and calculates the proper tap coefficients, and can be configured according to an external resistor, RFC0, connected between FC0 and SGND in Table 9. If the device is configured to store auto comp values, the calculated compensation values will be saved in the Auto Comp Store and may be read back through the PID_TAPS command. If repeat mode is enabled, the first Auto Comp results after the first ramp will be stored; the values calculated periodically are not stored in the Auto Comp Store. When compensation values are saved in the Auto Comp Store, the device will use those compensation values on subsequent ramps. In repeat mode, the latest Auto Comp results will always be used during operation. Stored Auto Comp results can only be cleared by disabling Auto Comp Store, which is not permitted while the output is enabled. However, sending the AUTOCOMP_CONTROL command while enabled in Store mode will cause the next results to be stored, overwriting previously stored values. If auto compensation is disabled, the device will use the compensation parameters that are stored in the DEFAULT_STORE or USER_STORE. If the PG Assert parameter is set to "Use PG Delay," PG will be asserted according to the POWER_GOOD_DELAY command, after which Auto Comp will begin. When Auto Comp is enabled, the user must not program a Power-Good Delay that will expire before the ramp is finished. If PG Assert is set to "After Auto Comp," PG will be asserted immediately after the first Auto Comp cycle completes (POWER_GOOD_DELAY will be ignored). The routine can be set via the I2C/PMbus interface to execute one time after ramp or periodically while regulating, and have 18 FN8422.0 March 5, 2013 ZL9010M either PG Assert behavior described earlier. Note that the Auto Compensation feature requires a minimum tON_DELAY as described in “Soft-start Delay and Ramp Times” on page 17. The Auto Comp Gain control scales the Auto Comp results to allow a trade-off between transient response and steady-state duty cycle jitter. A setting of 100% will provide the fastest transient response while a setting of 10% will produce the lowest jitter. With resistor settings, auto compensation can only be set to execute one time after ramp with option to store auto comp values. With auto compensation disabled, PG is asserted according to POWER_GOOD_DELAY. With auto compensation executed once and auto comp values not stored, PG is asserted after auto compensation is complete at every start-up event. With auto compensation executed once and auto comp values stored, PG is asserted after auto compensation is complete at the first start-up event, and is asserted according to POWER_GOOD_DELAY for subsequent start-up event along with using the stored auto comp values from the first start-up. By default with FC0 OPEN, auto compensation is configured to execute one time after ramp with 70% Auto Comp Gain, PG asserted immediately after the first Auto Comp cycle completes, and auto comp values not stored. Note that if Auto Comp is enabled, for best results VIN must be stable before Auto Comp begins, as shown in Equation 3. ΔVin 100% --------------------- ( in% ) ≤ --------------------------------------Vin Nom 256 • Vout ---------------------------1+ Vin Nom (EQ. 3) The auto compensation function can also be configured via the AUTO_COMP_CONFIG command and controlled using the AUTO_COMP_CONTROL command over the I2C/PMbus interface.

Diode emulation is available to single-phase devices only. Note: the overall bandwidth of the device may be reduced when in diode emulation mode. Disabling the diode emulation prior to applying significant load steps is recommended. The input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) prevents the ZL9010M from operating when the input falls below a preset threshold, indicating the input supply is out of its specified range. The UVLO threshold (VUVLO) can be set between 2.85V and 16V using the I2C/PMbus interface. Once an input undervoltage fault condition occurs, the device can respond in a number of ways, as follows: 1. Continue operating without interruption. Not Stored Store in Flash AUTOCOMP CONFIG Input Undervoltage Lockout AUTOCOMP CONFIG AC FC0 PIN/ SINGLE/ RFC0 (kΩ) DISABLE AC GAIN TABLE 9. FC0 PIN-STRAP/RESISTOR SETTINGS (Continued) Auto Detect 2. Continue operating for a given delay period, followed by shutdown if the fault still exists. The device remains in shutdown until instructed to restart. 3. Initiate an immediate shutdown until the fault is cleared. The user can select a specific number of retry attempts. The default response from a UVLO fault is an immediate shutdown of the module. The controller continuously checks for the presence of the fault condition. If the fault condition is no longer present, the ZL9010M is re-enabled. Please refer to Application Note AN2033 for details on how to configure the UVLO threshold or to select specific UVLO fault response options via the I2C/PMbus interface. 19 FN8422.0 March 5, 2013 ZL9010M Output Overvoltage Protection The ZL9010M offers an internal output overvoltage protection circuit that can be used to protect sensitive load circuitry from being subjected to a voltage higher than its prescribed limits. A hardware comparator is used to compare the actual output voltage (seen at the FB+ pin) to a threshold set to 15% higher than the target output voltage (the default setting). If the FB+ voltage exceeds this threshold, the PG pin de-asserts, and the controller can then respond in a number of ways, as follows: that has been selected. See “Output Overvoltage Protection” on page 20 for response options due to an overvoltage condition. Note that pre-bias protection is not offered for current sharing groups that also have tracking enabled. VDD must be the same voltage as VIN for proper prebias start-up in single module operation. 1. Initiate an immediate shutdown until the fault is cleared. The user can select a specific number of retry attempts. 2. Turn off the high-side and the low-side MOSFETs until the device attempts a restart. The default response from an overvoltage fault is to immediately shut down. The controller continuously checks for the presence of the fault condition, and when the fault condition no longer exists, the device is re-enabled. For continuous overvoltage protection when operating from an external clock, the only allowed response is an immediate shutdown. Please refer to Application Note AN2033 for details on how to select specific overvoltage fault response options via I2C/PMbus. Output Pre-Bias Protection An output pre-bias condition exists when an externally applied voltage is present on a power supply’s output before the power supply’s control IC is enabled. Certain applications require that the converter not be allowed to sink current during start-up if a pre-bias condition exists at the output. The ZL9010M provides pre-bias protection by sampling the output voltage prior to initiating an output ramp. If a pre-bias voltage lower than the target voltage exists after the pre-configured delay period has expired, the target voltage is set to match the existing pre-bias voltage, and both drivers are enabled. The output voltage is then ramped to the final regulation value at the preconfigured ramp rate. The actual time the output takes to ramp from the pre-bias voltage to the target voltage varies, depending on the pre-bias voltage, but the total time elapsed from when the delay period expires and when the output reaches its target value, will match the pre-configured ramp time (see Figure 21). If a pre-bias voltage higher than the target voltage exists after the pre-configured delay period has expired, the target voltage is set to match the existing pre-bias voltage, and both drivers are enabled with a PWM duty cycle that would ideally create the pre-bias voltage. Once the pre-configured soft-start ramp period has expired, the PG pin is asserted (assuming the pre-bias voltage is not higher than the overvoltage limit). The PWM then adjusts its duty cycle to match the original target voltage, and the output ramps down to the preconfigured output voltage. If a pre-bias voltage higher than the overvoltage limit exists, the device does not initiate a turn-on sequence and declares an overvoltage fault condition to exist. In this case, the device responds based on the output overvoltage fault response method 20 FIGURE 21. OUTPUT RESPONSES TO PRE-BIAS VOLTAGES Output Overcurrent Protection The ZL9010M can protect the power supply from damage if the output is shorted to ground or if an overload condition is imposed on the output. The following overcurrent protection response options are available: 1. Initiate a shutdown and attempt to restart an infinite number of times with a preset delay period between attempts. 2. Initiate a shutdown and attempt to restart a preset number of times with a preset delay period between attempts. 3. Continue operating for a given delay period, followed by shutdown if the fault still exists. 4. Continue operating through the fault (this could result in permanent damage to the power supply). 5. Initiate an immediate shutdown. The default response from an overcurrent fault is an immediate shutdown of the controller. The controller continuously checks for the presence of the fault condition, and if the fault condition no longer exists, the device is re-enabled. Please refer to Application Note AN2033 for details on how to select specific overcurrent fault response options via I2C/PMbus. FN8422.0 March 5, 2013 ZL9010M Thermal Overload Protection The ZL9010M includes a thermal sensor that continuously measures the internal temperature of the module and shuts down the controller when the temperature exceeds the preset limit. The default temperature limit is set to +125°C in the factory, but the user may set the limit to a different value if desired. See Application Note AN2033 for details. Note that setting a higher thermal limit via the I2C/PMbus interface may result in permanent damage to the controller. Once the module has been disabled due to an internal temperature fault, the user may select one of several fault response options as follows: 1. Initiate a shutdown and attempt to restart an infinite number of times with a preset delay period between attempts. 2. Initiate a shutdown and attempt to restart a preset number of times with a preset delay period between attempts. 3. Continue operating for a given delay period, followed by shutdown if the fault still exists. 4. Continue operating through the fault (this could result in permanent damage to the power supply). 5. Initiate an immediate shutdown. If the user has configured the module to restart, the controller waits the preset delay period (if configured to do so) and then checks the module temperature. If the temperature has dropped below a threshold that is approximately +15°C lower than the selected temperature fault limit, the controller attempts to re-start. If the temperature still exceeds the fault limit, the controller waits the preset delay period and retries again. The default response from a temperature fault is an immediate shutdown of the module. The controller continuously checks for the fault condition, and once the fault has cleared, the ZL9010M is re-enabled. Please refer to Application Note AN2033 for details on how to select specific temperature fault response options via I2C/PMbus. Voltage Tracking Numerous high performance systems place stringent demands on the order in which the power supply voltages are turned on. This is particularly true when powering FPGAs, ASICs, and other advanced processor devices that require multiple supply voltages to power a single die. In most cases, the I/O interface operates at a higher voltage than the core and therefore the core supply voltage must not exceed the I/O supply voltage according to the manufacturers' specifications. Voltage tracking protects these sensitive ICs by limiting the differential voltage between multiple power supplies during the power-up and power down sequence. The ZL9010M integrates a lossless tracking scheme that allows its output to track a voltage that is applied to the VTRK pin with no external components required. The VTRK pin is an analog input that, when tracking mode is enabled, configures the voltage applied to the VTRK pin to act as a reference for the device’s output regulation. Figure 22 illustrates the typical connection of two tracking modules. The ZL9010M offers two modes of tracking as follows, and can be configured according to an external resistor, RSS, connected between SS and SGND in Table 10 or via I2C/PMbus. The tON_DELAY time is set to 5ms, and tOFF_DELAY time is set to 21 35ms. The RAMP time is set to 2ms, but can track to a slower RAMP time, i.e., >2ms. TABLE 10. TRACKING RESISTOR SETTINGS RSS (kΩ) TRACK RATIO (%) 90.9 100 100 147 178 Limited by target Output does not decrease before PG Limited by VTRK Output does not decrease before PG 121 162 RAMP-UP/DOWN BEHAVIOR Output always follows VTRK 110 133 UPPER TRACK LIMIT Output always follows VTRK 50 Limited by target Output does not decrease before PG Output always follows VTRK Limited by VTRK Output does not decrease before PG Output always follows VTRK 1. Coincident. This mode configures the module to ramp its output voltage at the same rate as the voltage applied to the VTRK pin. Two options are available for this mode: - Track at 100% VOUT limited. Member rail tracks the reference rail and stops when the member reaches its target voltage (Figure 23A). - Track at 100% VTRK limited. Member rail tracks the reference at the instantaneous voltage value applied to the VTRK pin (Figure 23B). 2. Ratiometric. This mode configures the module to ramp its output voltage at a rate that is a percentage of the voltage applied to the VTRK pin. The default setting is 50%, but an external resistor string may be used to configure a different tracking ratio: - Track at 50% VOUT limited. Member rail tracks the reference rail and stops when the member reaches 50% of the target voltage (Figure 24A). - Track at 50% VTRK limited. Member rail tracks the reference at the instantaneous voltage value applied to the VTRK pin until the member rail reaches 50% of the reference rail voltage, or if the member is configured to less than 50% of the reference the member will achieve its configured target (Figure 24B). The master module device in a tracking group is defined as the device that has the highest target output voltage within the group. This master device will control the ramp rate of all tracking devices and is not configured for tracking mode. A delay of at least 6ms must be configured into the master device, and the user may also configure a specific ramp rate. Any device that is configured for tracking mode will ignore its soft-start delay and its output will take on the turn-on/turn-off characteristics of the reference voltage present at the VTRK pin. All of the ENABLE pins in the tracking group must be connected together and driven by a single logic source. Tracking is configured via the I2C/PMbus interface by using the TRACK_CONFIG PMBus command. Please refer to Application Note AN2033 for further details on configuring tracking mode using PMBus.

The MGN command is set through the I2C/PMbus interface. The module’s output will be forced higher than its nominal set point when the MGN command is set HIGH, and the output will be forced lower than its nominal set point when the MGN command is set LOW. Default margin limits of VNOM ±5% are pre-loaded in the factory, but the margin limits can be modified through the I2C/PMbus interface to as high as VNOM + 10% or as low as 0V, where VNOM is the nominal output voltage set point determined by the V1 pin. The margin limits and the MGN command can both be set individually through the I2C/PMbus interface. Additionally, the transition rate between the nominal output voltage and either margin limit can be configured through the I2C interface. Please refer to Application Note AN2033 for further instructions on modifying the margining configurations. Digital-DC Bus The Digital-DC Communications (DDC) bus is used to communicate between Zilker Labs Digital-DC modules and devices. This dedicated bus provides the communication channel between devices for features such as sequencing, fault spreading, and current sharing. The DDC pin on all Digital-DC devices in an application should be connected together. A pull-up resistor is required on the DDC bus in order to guarantee the rise time as shown in Equation 6: Rise Time = R PU∗ C LOAD ≈ 1μs (EQ. 6) where RPU is the DDC bus pull-up resistance and CLOAD is the bus loading. The pull-up resistor may be tied to an external 3.3V or 5V supply as long as this voltage is present prior to or during device power-up. As a rule of thumb, each device connected to the DDC bus presents approximately 10pF of capacitive loading, and each inch of FR4 PCB trace introduces approximately 2pF. The ideal design uses a central pull-up resistor that is wellmatched to the total load capacitance. The minimum pull-up resistance should be limited to a value that enables any device to assert the bus to a voltage that ensures a logic 0 (typically 0.8V at the device monitoring point), given the pull-up voltage and the pull-down current capability of the ZL9010M (nominally 4mA). Output Sequencing A group of Digital-DC modules or devices may be configured to power-up in a predetermined sequence. This feature is especially useful when powering advanced processors, FPGAs, and ASICs that require one supply to reach its operating voltage prior to another supply reaching its operating voltage in order to avoid latch-up. Multi-device sequencing can be achieved by configuring each device through the I2C/PMbus interface. Multiple device sequencing is configured by issuing PMBus commands to assign the preceding device in the sequencing chain as well as the device that follows in the sequencing chain. 23 The Enable pins of all devices in a sequencing group must be tied together and driven high to initiate a sequenced turn-on of the group. Enable must be driven low to initiate a sequenced turnoff of the group. Refer to Application Note AN2033 for details on sequencing via the I2C/PMbus interface. Fault Spreading Digital DC modules and devices can be configured to broadcast a fault event over the DDC bus to the other devices in the group. When a non-destructive fault occurs and the device is configured to shut down on a fault, the device shuts down and broadcasts the fault event over the DDC bus. The other devices on the DDC bus shut down together, if configured to do so, and attempt to re-start in their prescribed order, if configured to do so. Monitoring via I2C/PMbus A system controller can monitor a wide variety of different ZL9010M system parameters through the I2C/PMbus interface. The device can monitor for fault conditions by monitoring the SALRT pin, which will be pulled low when any number of pre-configured fault conditions occur. The module can be monitored continuously for any number of power conversion parameters including the following: • Input voltage • Output voltage • Output current • Internal temperature • External temperature • Switching frequency • Duty cycle The PMBus host should respond to SALRT as follows: 1. ZL device pulls SALRT low. 2. PMBus host detects that SALRT is now low, performs transmission with Alert Response Address to find which ZL device is pulling SALRT low. 3. PMBus host talks to the ZL device that has pulled SALRT low. The actions that the host performs are up to the system designer. If multiple devices are faulting, SALRT will still be low after doing the above steps and will require transmission with the Alert Response Address repeatedly until all faults are cleared. Please refer to Application Note AN2033 for details on how to monitor specific parameters via the I2C/PMbus interface. Temperature Monitoring Using the XTEMP Pin The ZL9010M supports measurement of an external device temperature using either a thermal diode integrated in a processor, FPGA or ASIC, or using a discrete diode-connected 2N3904 NPN transistor. Figure 25 illustrates the typical connections required. FN8422.0 March 5, 2013 ZL9010M Non-Volatile Memory and Device Security Features XTEMP 100 pF ZL 2N3904 SGND Discrete NPN XTEMP 100pF ZL SGND µP FPGA DSP ASIC Embedded Thermal Diode FIGURE 25. EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE MONITORING SnapShot Parameter Capture The ZL9010M offers a special feature that enables the user to capture parametric data during normal operation or following a fault. The SnapShot functionality is enabled by setting bit 1 of MISC_CONFIG to 1. See AN2033 for details on using SnapShot in addition to the parameters supported. The SnapShot feature enables the user to read parameters via a block read transfer through the PMbus. This can be done during normal operation, although it should be noted that reading the 22 bytes occupies the PMbus for some time. The SNAPSHOT_CONTROL command enables the user to store the SnapShot parameters to Flash memory in response to a pending fault, as well as to read the stored data from Flash memory after a fault has occurred. Table 15 describes the usage of this command. Automatic writes to Flash memory following a fault are triggered when any fault threshold level is exceeded, provided that the specific fault’s response is to shut down (writing to Flash memory is not allowed if the device is configured to re-try following the specific fault condition). It should also be noted that the module’s VDD voltage must be maintained during the time when the controller is writing the data to Flash memory; a process that requires between 700µs to 1400µs depending on whether the data is set up for a block write. Undesirable results may be observed if the device’s VDD supply drops below 3.0V during this process. TABLE 15. SNAPSHOT_CONTROL COMMAND DATA VALUE DESCRIPTION 1 Copies current SNAPSHOT values from Flash memory to RAM for immediate access using SNAPSHOT command. 2 Writes current SNAPSHOT values to Flash memory. Only available when device is disabled. If the module experiences a fault and power is lost, the user can extract the last SnapShot parameters stored during the fault by writing a 1 to SNAPSHOT_CONTROL (transfers data from Flash memory to RAM) and then issuing a SNAPSHOT command (reads data from RAM via PMbus). 24 The ZL9010M has internal non-volatile memory where user configurations are stored. Integrated security measures ensure that the user can only restore the module to a level that has been made available to them. During the initialization process, the ZL9010M checks for stored values contained in its internal non-volatile memory. The ZL9010M offers two internal memory storage units that are accessible by the user as follows: 1. Default Store: The ZL9010M has a default configuration that is stored in the default store in the controller. The module can be restored to its default settings by issuing a RESTORE_DEFAULT_ALL command over the PMbus. 2. User Store: The user can modify certain power supply settings as described in this data sheet. The user stores their configuration in the user store. Please refer to Application Note AN2033 for details on how to set specific security measures via the I2C/PMbus interface. Layout Guide To achieve stable operation, low losses, and good thermal performance some layout considerations are necessary (Figure 26). • Establish a continuous ground plane connecting DGND pin and PGND pin F10 with via directly the ground plane. • Establish SGND island connecting (pad 3, pin C1) and the return path of analog signals and resistor programming pin signals • Establish PGND island connecting PGND (pad 2, 5, pin F10). • Make a single point connection between SGND and PGND islands. • Place a high frequency ceramic capacitor between (1) VIN and PGND (pad 2) (2) VOUT and PGND (pad 5) as close to the module as possible to minimize high frequency noise. High frequency ceramic capacitors close to the module between VOUT and PGND will help to minimize noise at the output ripple. • Use large copper areas for power path (VIN, PGND, VOUT, SW) to minimize conduction loss and thermal stress. Also, use multiple vias to connect the power planes in different layers. • Connect remote sensed traces FB+ and FB- to the regulation point to achieve a tight output voltage regulation, and keep them in parallel. Route a trace from FB- to a location near the load ground, and a trace from FB+ to the point-of-load where the tight output voltage is desired. • Avoid routing any sensitive signal traces, such as the VOUT, FB+, FB- sensing point near the SW pad. FN8422.0 March 5, 2013 ZL9010M size of 17.2mm x 11.45mm x 2.5mm. Figure 27 shows typical reflow profile parameters. These guidelines are general design rules. Users could modify parameters according to their application. PGND VIN SGND DGND The bottom of the ZL9010M is a lead-frame footprint, which is attached to the PCB by surface mounting process. The PCB layout pattern is shown in the Package Outline Drawing Y32.17.2x11.45 on page 27. The PCB layout pattern is essentially 1:1 with the HDA exposed pad and I/O termination dimensions. The thermal lands on the PCB layout should match 1:1 with the package exposed die pads. SW VR FB- FB+ PGND SGND VOUT Thermal Vias KELVIN SENSING LINES PGND SGND PCB Layout Pattern Design A grid of 1.0mm to 1.2mm pitch thermal vias, which drops down and connects to buried copper plane(s), should be placed under the thermal land. The vias should be about 0.3mm to 0.33mm in diameter with the barrel plated to about 1.0 ounce copper. Although adding more vias (by decreasing via pitch) will improve the thermal performance, diminishing returns will be seen as more and more vias are added. Simply use as many vias as practical for the thermal land size and your board design rules allow. PGND Stencil Pattern Design FIGURE 26. RECOMMENDED LAYOUT Thermal Considerations Experimental power loss curves along with θJA from thermal modeling analysis can be used to evaluate the thermal consideration for the module. The derating curves are derived from the maximum power allowed while maintaining the temperature below the maximum junction temperature of +125°C. In actual application, other heat sources and design margin should be considered. Package Description Reflowed solder joints on the perimeter I/O lands should have about a 50µm to 75µm (2mil to 3mil) standoff height. The solder paste stencil design is the first step in developing optimized, reliable solder joins. Stencil aperture size to land size ratio should typically be 1:1. The aperture width may be reduced slightly to help prevent solder bridging between adjacent I/O lands. To reduce solder paste volume on the larger thermal lands, it is recommended that an array of smaller apertures be used instead of one large aperture. It is recommended that the stencil printing area cover 50% to 80% of the PCB layout pattern. A typical solder stencil pattern is shown in the Package Outline Drawing Y32.17.2x11.45 on page 27. The gap width pad to pad is 0.6mm. The user should consider the symmetry of the whole stencil pattern when designing its pads. A laser cut, stainless steel stencil with electropolished trapezoidal walls is recommended. Electropolishing “smooths” the aperture walls resulting in reduced surface friction and better paste release which reduces voids. Using a trapezoidal section aperture (TSA) also promotes paste release and forms a "brick like" paste deposit that assists in firm component placement. A 0.1mm to 0.15mm stencil thickness is recommended for this large pitch (1.3mm) HDA. The structure of ZL9010M belongs to the High Density Array (HDA) package. This kind of package has advantages, such as good thermal and electrical conductivity, low weight and small size. The HDA package is applicable for surface mounting technology. The ZL9010M contains several types of devices, including resistors, capacitors, inductors and control ICs. The ZL9010M is a copper lead-frame based package with exposed copper thermal pads, which have good electrical and thermal conductivity. The copper lead frame and multi component assembly is overmolded with polymer mold compound to protect these devices. The package outline and typical PCB layout pattern design and typical stencil pattern design are shown in the package outline drawing Y32.17.2x11.45 on page 27. The module has a small 25 FN8422.0 March 5, 2013 ZL9010M Reflow Parameters 300 PEAK TEMPERATURE ~+245°C; TYPICALLY 60s-150s ABOVE +217°C KEEP LESS THAN 30s WITHIN 5°C OF PEAK TEMP. 250 TEMPERATURE (°C) Due to the low mount height of the HDA, "No Clean" Type 3 solder paste per ANSI/J-STD-005 is recommended. Nitrogen purge is also recommended during reflow. A system board reflow profile depends on the thermal mass of the entire populated board, so it is not practical to define a specific soldering profile just for the HDA. The profile given in Figure 27 is provided as a guideline, to be customized for varying manufacturing practices and applications. 200 SLOW RAMP (3°C/s MAX) AND SOAK FROM +150°C TO +200°C FOR 60s~180s 150 100 RAMP RATE ≤1.5°C FROM +70°C TO +90°C 50 0 0 100 150 200 250 300 350 DURATION (s) FIGURE 27.
