Input voltage feed-forward is used to compensate for loop gain variation with input voltage. Two operating modes allow the user to tailor the regulator to their specific requirements. In forced PWM mode, the regulator operates as a full synchronous device with a 3 MHz (typ.) switching frequency and very low output voltage ripple. In AUTO mode, the regulator moves into PFM when the load current drops below the mode change threshold (see Application Curves). In PFM, the device regulates the output voltage between wider ripple limits than in PWM. This results in much smaller supply current than in PWM, at light loads and high efficiency. A simplified block diagram is shown in Functional Block Diagram. 8.2 Functional Block Diagram 8.3 Feature Description 8.3.1 Nano Scale Package The LMZ20501 incorporates world class package technology to provide a 1 A power supply with a total volume of only 21 mm3 (excluding external components). All that is required for a complete power supply is the addition of feed-back resistors to set the output voltage and the input and output filter capacitors. Figure 7 and Figure 8 show the LMZ20501 package. The regulator die is embedded into a PCB substrate while the power inductor is mounted on top. Vias and copper clad are used to make the connections to the die, inductor and the external components. This package is MSL3 compliant.

Package Photo INDUCTOR EMBEDDED REGULATOR DIE SUBSTRATE PCB Copper Clad Via Figure 8. Package Side View Drawing 8.3.2 Internal Synchronous Rectifier The LMZ20501 uses an internal NMOS FET as a synchronous rectifier to minimize switch voltage drop and increase efficiency. The NMOS is designed to conduct through its body diode during switch dead time. This dead time is imposed to prevent supply current "shoot-through". 8.3.3 Current Limit Protection The LMZ20501 incorporates cycle-by-cycle peak current limit on both the high and low side MOSFETs. This feature limits the output current in case the output is overloaded. During the overload, the peak inductor current is limited to that value found in the Electrical Characteristics table under the heading of "ILIM". In addition to current limit, a short circuit protection mode is also implemented. When the feedback voltage is brought down to less than 300 mV, but greater than 150 mV, by a short circuit, the synchronous rectifier is turned off. This provides more voltage across the inductor to help maintain the required volt-second balance. If a "harder" short brings the feedback voltage to below 150 mV, the current limit and switching frequency are both reduced to about ½ of the nominal values. In addition, when the current limit is tripped, the device stops switching for about 85 µs. At the end of the time-out, switching resumes and the cycle repeats until the short is removed. The effect of both overload and short circuit protection can be seen in Figure 9. This graph demonstrates that the device will supply slightly more than 1 A to the load when in overload and much less current during fold-back mode. This is typical behavior for any regulator with this type of current limit protection. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2012–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMZ20501 LMZ20501 www.ti.com SNVS874C – AUGUST 2012 – REVISED APRIL 2015 Feature Description (continued) 3.5 Output Voltage (V) 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0.0 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2 1.4 1.6 Output Current (A) 1.8 C001 Figure 9. Typical Current Limit Profile VIN = 5 V, VOUT = 1.8 V 8.3.4 Start-Up Start-up and shutdown of the LMZ20501 is controlled by the EN input. The characteristics of this input are found in the Electrical Characteristics table. A valid input voltage must be present on VIN before the enable control is asserted. The maximum voltage on the EN pin is 5.5 V or VIN, whichever is smaller. Do not allow this input to float. The LMZ20501 features a current limit based soft-start, that prevents large inrush currents and output overshoots as the regulator is starting up. The peak inductor current is stepped-up in a staircase fashion during the soft start period. A typical start-up event is shown in Figure 10: EN Output Voltage 2V/div PG Input Current 0.5A/div 500µs/div Figure 10. Typical Start-Up Waveforms, VIN = 5 V, VOUT = 3.3 V, IOUT = 1 A 8.3.5 Drop-Out Behavior When the input voltage is close to the output voltage the regulator will operate at very large duty cycles. Normal time delays of the internal circuits prevents the attainment of controlled duty cycles near 100%. In this condition the LMZ20501 will skip switching cycles in order to maintain regulation with the highest possible input-to-output ratio. Some increase in output voltage ripple may appear as the regulator skips cycles. As the input voltage gets closer to the output voltage, the regulator will eventually reach 100% duty cycle, with the high side switch turned on. The output will then follow the input voltage minus the drop across the high side switch and inductor resistance. Figure 11 and Figure 12 show typical drop-out behavior for output voltages of 2.5 V and 3.3 V.

This will result in degraded efficiency at input voltages below about 2.9 V. Also, combinations of low input voltage and high output voltage increases the effective switch duty cycle which may result in increased output voltage ripple. 2.60 Output Voltage (V) 2.55 2.50 2.45 2.40 2.35 2.30 0A 0.5A 1A 2.25 2.20 2.0 2.2 2.4 2.6 2.8 3.0 3.2 3.4 3.6 3.8 4.0 Input Voltage (V) C009 Figure 11.

Typical Power Good Flag Operation This output consists of an open drain NMOS with an Rdson of about 70 Ω. When used, the power good flag should be connected to a logic supply through a pull-up resistor. It can also be pulled-up to either VIN or VOUT, through an appropriate resistor, as desired. If this function is not needed, the PG output should be left floating. The current through this flag pin should be limited to less than 4 mA. A pull-up resistor of ≥1.5 kΩ will satisfy this requirement. When the EN input is pulled low, the PG flag output will also be forced low, assuming a valid input voltage is present at the VIN pin. 8.3.7 Thermal Shutdown The LMZ20501 incorporates a thermal shutdown feature to protect the device from excessive die temperatures. The device will stop switching when the internal die temperature reaches about 159°C. Switching will resume when the die temperature drops to about 144°C. 8.4 Device Functional Modes Please refer to Table 1 and the following paragraphs for a detailed description of the functional modes of the LMZ20501. These modes are controlled by the MODE input as shown in Table 1. The maximum voltage on the MODE pin is 5.5 V or VIN, whichever is smaller. This input must not be allowed to float. Table 1. Mode Selection MODE PIN VOLTAGE OPERATION > 1.2 V Forced PWM: The regulator operates in constant frequency, PWM mode for all loads from no-load to full load; no diode emulation is used. < 0.4 V AUTO Mode: The regulator operates in constant frequency mode for loads greater than the mode change threshold. For loads less than the mode change threshold, the regulator operates in PFM with diode emulation.

This provides excellent line and load regulation and low output voltage ripple. This operation is maintained, even at no-load, by allowing the inductor current to reverse its normal direction. While in PWM mode, the output voltage is regulated by switching at a constant frequency and modulating the duty cycle to control the power to the load. This mode trades off reduced light load efficiency for low output voltage ripple and constant switching frequency. In this mode, a negative current limit of about 750mA is imposed to prevent damage to the regulator power FETs. 8.4.2 PFM Operation When in AUTO mode, and at light loads, the device enters PFM. The regulator estimates the load current by measuring both the high side and low side switch currents. This estimate is only approximate, and the exact load current threshold, to trigger PFM, can vary greatly with input and output voltage. The Application Curves show mode change thresholds for several typical operating points. When the regulator detects this threshold, the reference voltage is increased by approximately 10 mV. This causes the output voltage to rise to meet the new regulation point. When this point is reached, the converter stops switching and much of the internal circuitry is shut off, while the reference is returned to the PWM value. This saves supply current while the output voltage naturally starts to fall under the influence of the load current. When the output voltage reaches the PWM regulation point, switching is again started and the reference voltage is again increased by about 10 mV; thus starting the next cycle. Typical waveforms are shown in Figure 14. Switch Voltage 2V/div Output Voltage 50mV/div 20µs/div Figure 14.

The frequency of the PFM "bursts" will depend on the input voltage, output voltage, load and output capacitor. Within each "burst" the device switches at 3 MHz (typ.). If the load current increases above the threshold, normal PWM operation is resumed. This mode provides high light load efficiency by reducing the amount of supply current required to regulate the output at small load currents. This mode trades off very good light load efficiency for larger output voltage ripple and variable switching frequency. An example of the typical input supply current, while regulating with no load, is shown in Figure 15. Because of normal part-to-part variation, the LMZ20501 may not switch into PFM mode at high input voltages. This may be seen with output voltages of about 1.2 V and below, at input voltages of about 4.2 V and above. 9 Application and Implementation NOTE Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality. 9.1 Application Information The LMZ20501 is a step down DC-to-DC regulator. It is typically used to convert a higher DC voltage to a lower DC voltage with a maximum output current of 1 A. The following design procedure can be used to select components for the LMZ20501. Alternately, the WEBENCH design tool may be used to generate a complete design. WEBENCH utilizes an iterative design procedure and has access to a comprehensive database of components. This allows the tool to create an optimized design and allows the user to experiment with various design options.

COUT measured at VOUT; CIN measured at 3.3 V. The effective value takes into account the capacitor voltage coefficient. 9.2.1.1 Setting The Output Voltage The LMZ20501 regulates its feedback voltage to 0.6 V (typ). A feedback divider, shown in Figure 16, is used to set the desired output voltage. Equation 1 can be used to select RFBB . 0.6 R FBB R FBT VOUT 0.6 (1) For best results, RFBT should be chosen between 30 kΩ and 300 kΩ. See Table 2 for recommended values for typical output voltages. 9.2.1.2 Output and Feed-Forward Capacitors The LMZ20501 is designed to work with low ESR ceramic capacitors. The effective value of these capacitors is defined as the actual capacitance under voltage bias and temperature. All ceramic capacitors have large voltage coefficients, in addition to normal tolerances and temperature coefficients. Under D.C. bias, the capacitance value drops considerably. Larger case sizes and/or higher voltage capacitors are better in this regard. To help mitigate these effects, multiple small capacitors can be used in parallel to bring the minimum effective capacitance up to the desired value. This can also ease the RMS current requirements on a single capacitor. Typically, 10 V, X5R, 0805 capacitors are adequate for the output, while 16-V caps may be used on the input. Some recommended component values are provided in Table 2. Also, shown are the measured values of effective input and output capacitance for the given capacitor. If smaller values of output capacitance are used, CFF must be adjusted to give good phase margin. In any case, load transient response will be compromised with lower values of output capacitance. Values much lower than those found in Table 2 should be avoided. In practice, the output capacitor and CFF, are adjusted for the best transient response and highest loop phase margin. Load transient testing and Bode plots are the best way to validate any given design. Application report SLVA289 should prove helpful when optimizing the feed-forward capacitor. Also, SNVA364 details a simple method of creating a Bode plot with basic laboratory equipment. The values of CFF found in Table 2 provide a good starting point. A careful study of the temperature and bias voltage variation of any candidate ceramic capacitor should be made in order to ensure that the minimum values of effective capacitance are provided. The best way to obtain an optimum design is to use the Texas Instruments WEBENCH tool. The maximum value of total output capacitance should be limited to between 100 µF and 200 µF. Large values of output capacitance can prevent the regulator from starting-up correctly and adversely affect the loop stability. If values in the range given above, or larger, are to be used, then a careful study of start-up at full load and loop stability must be performed.

An effective value of at least 14 µF is normally sufficient for the input capacitor. If the main input capacitor(s) can not be placed close to the module, then a small 10 nF to 100 nF capacitor should be placed directly at the module, across the supply and ground pins. Many times it is desirable to use an electrolytic capacitor on the input, in parallel with the ceramics. This is especially true if long leads/traces are used to connect the input supply to the regulator. The moderate ESR of this capacitor can help damp any ringing on the input supply caused by long power leads. This method can also help to reduce voltage spikes that may exceed the maximum input voltage rating of the LMZ20501. The use of this additional capacitor will also help with voltage dips caused by input supplies with unusually high impedance. Most of the switching current passes through the input ceramic capacitor(s). The approximate RMS value of this current can be calculated with Equation 2 and should be checked against the manufactures maximum ratings. I RMS | I OUT 2 (2) 9.2.1.4 Maximum Ambient Temperature As with any power conversion device, the LMZ20501 will dissipate internal power while operating. The effect of this power dissipation is to raise the internal temperature of the converter, above ambient. The internal die temperature is a function of the ambient temperature, the power loss and the effective thermal resistance RθJA of the device and PCB combination. The maximum internal die temperature for the LMZ20501 is 125°C, thus establishing a limit on the maximum device power dissipation and therefore load current at high ambient temperatures. Equation 3 shows the relationships between the important parameters. I OUT TJ TA 1 R -$ 1 VOUT (3) It is easy to see that larger ambient temperatures and larger values of RθJA will reduce the maximum available output current. As stated in SPRA953 , the values given in theThermal Information table are not valid for design purposes and must not be used to estimate the thermal performance of the application. The values reported in that table were measured under a specific set of conditions that never obtain in an actual application. The effective RθJA is a critical parameter and depends on many factors such as power dissipation, air temperature, PCB area, copper heatsink area, air flow, and adjacent component placement. The resources found in Table 3 can be used as a guide to estimate the RθJA for a given application environment. A typical example of RθJA versus copper board area is shown in Figure 18. The copper area in this graph is that for each layer; the inner layers are 1 oz (35µm). An RθJA of 44°C/W is the approximate value for the LMZ20501 evaluation board. The efficiency found in Equation 3, η, should be taken at the elevated ambient temperature. For the LMZ20501 the efficiency is about two to three percent lower at high temperatures. Therefore, a slightly lower value than the typical efficiency can be used in the calculation. In this way Equation 3 can be used to estimate the maximum output current for a given ambient, or to estimate the maximum ambient for a given load current. A typical curve of maximum load current vs. ambient temperature is shown in Figure 19. This graph assumes a RθJA of 44°C/W and an input voltage of 5 V. 18 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2012–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMZ20501 LMZ20501 www.ti.com SNVS874C – AUGUST 2012 – REVISED APRIL 2015 Thermal Resistance J-A (°C/W) 100 2-LAYER 70 µm (2 oz) Cu 4-LAYER 70 µm (2 oz) Cu 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 0 5 10 Copper Area (cm2) 15 20 D012 Figure 18.

The PG output is open drain, and requires a pull-up resistor to a logic supply that is commensurate with the system logic voltage levels. If a reset function is not needed, the PG pin should be left open. The EN and MODE inputs are digital inputs, requiring only simple logic levels for proper operation. If the system does not need to control these features, the inputs should be connected to either VIN or GND, as appropriate. Please see Feature Description for details.

TI Application Engineers are ready to help critique your design and PCB layout to help make your project a success. Do: Refer to the helpful documents found in Table 3 and Table 4 10 Power Supply Recommendations The characteristics of the input supply must be compatible with the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions found in this data sheet. In addition, the input supply must be capable of delivering the required input current to the loaded regulator. The average input current can be estimated with Equation 4 I IN VOUT I OUT VIN (4) If the regulator is connected to the input supply through long wires or PCB traces, special care is required to achieve good performance. The parasitic inductance and resistance of the input cables can have an adverse effect on the operation of the regulator. The parasitic inductance, in combination with the low ESR ceramic input capacitors, can form an under-damped resonant circuit. This circuit may cause over-voltage transients at the VIN pin, each time the input supply is cycled on and off. The parasitic resistance will cause the voltage at the VIN pin to dip when the load on the regulator is switched on, or exhibits a transient. If the regulator is operating close to the minimum input voltage, this dip may cause the device to shutdown and/or reset. The best way to solve these kinds of issues is to reduce the distance from the input supply to the regulator and/or use an aluminum or tantalum input capacitor in parallel with the ceramics. The moderate ESR of these types of capacitors will help to damp the input resonant circuit and reduce any voltage overshoots. A value in the range of 20 µF to 100 µF is usually sufficient to provide input damping and help to hold the input voltage steady during large load transients. Sometimes, for other system considerations, an input filter is used in front of the regulator module. This can lead to instability, as well as some of the effects mentioned above, unless it is designed carefully. The following user guide provides helpful suggestions when designing an input filter for any switching regulator: SNVA489. In some cases a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) is used on the input of regulators. One class of this device has a "snap-back" V-I characteristic (thyristor type). The use of a device with this type of characteristic is not recommend. When the TVS "fires", the clamping voltage drops to a very low value. If this holding voltage is less than the output voltage of the regulator, the output capacitors will be discharged through the regulator back to the input. This uncontrolled current flow could damage the regulator.

Bad PCB layout can disrupt the operation of an otherwise good schematic design. Even if the converter regulates correctly, bad PCB layout can mean the difference between a robust design and one that cannot be mass produced. Furthermore, the EMI performance of the regulator is dependent on the PCB layout, to a great extent. In a buck converter, the most critical PCB feature is the loop formed by the input capacitor and the module ground, as shown in Figure 38. This loop carries fast transient currents that can cause large transient voltages when reacting with the trace inductance. These unwanted transient voltages will disrupt the proper operation of the converter. Because of this, the traces in this loop should be wide and short, and the loop area as small as possible to reduce the parasitic inductance. Figure 39 shows a recommended layout for the critical components of the LMZ20501; the top side metal is shown in red. This PCB layout is a good guide for any specific application. The following important guidelines should also be followed: 1. Place the input capacitor CIN as close as possible to the VIN and GND terminals. VIN (pin 8) and GND (pin 6) are on the same side of the module, simplifying the input capacitor placement. 2. Place the feedback divider as close as possible to the FB pin on the module. The divider and CFF should be close to the module, while the length of the trace from VOUT to the divider can be somewhat longer. However, this latter trace should not be routed near any noise sources that can capacitively couple to the FB input. 3. Connect the EP pad to the GND plane. This pad acts as a heat-sink connection and a ground connection for the module. It must be solidly connected to a ground plane. The integrity of this connection has a direct bearing on the effective RθJA. 4. Provide enough PCB area for proper heat-sinking. As stated in the Maximum Ambient Temperature section, enough copper area must be used to provide a low RθJA, commensurate with the maximum load current and ambient temperature. The top and bottom PCB layers should be made with two ounce copper; and no less than one ounce. 5. The resources in Table 4 provide additional important guidelines VIN CIN GND Figure 38.

Example PCB Layout 11.3 Soldering Information Proper operation of the LMZ20501 requires that it be correctly soldered to the PCB. This is especially true regarding the EP. This pad acts as a quiet ground reference for the device and a heatsink connection. Use the following recommendations when utilizing machine placement of the device: • • • • • • • Dimension of area for pick-up: 2 mm x 2.5 mm. Use a nozzle size of less than 1.3 mm in diameter, so that the head does not touch the outer area of the package. Use a soft tip pick-and-place head. Add 0.05 mm to the component thickness so that the device will be released 0.05 mm into the solder paste without putting pressure or splashing the solder paste. Slow the pick arm when picking the part from the tape and reel carrier and when depositing the device on the board. If the machine releases the component by force, use the minimum force and no more than 3 N. For PCBs with surface mount components on both sides, it is suggested to put the LMZ20501 on the top side. In case the application requires bottom side placement, a re-flow fixture may be required to protect the module during the second reflow. In addition, please follow the important guidelines found in: SNOA401. The curves in Figure 40 and Figure 41 show typical soldering temperature profiles.

Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment. TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily performed. TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide adequate design and operating safeguards. TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI. Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of any TI components in safety-critical applications. In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms. No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use. Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use. TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
