Centauri (APC08) Non-Isolated DC/DC Power Module
The Centauri (APC08) DC-DC Power Module is a high efficiency non-isolated buck converter designed for use in a wide
variety of applications. It works from a wide input voltage range of 1.8V to 6V or 5V to 13V and offers an extensive array of
output voltages starting from 0.9V to 3.6V (up to 6V in some flavors). Through careful layout and component selection it
achieves the highest efficiency/load in the smallest footprint available in the market today. It is ideal for Point of Load
applications and provides the most flexibility for the ever-changing DSP and ASIC power requirements.

Basic Operation and Features
The APC08 family was designed specifically to address applications where on board distributed power with Point-of-Load
Converters (Conversion needed as close to the IC, usually DSP’s and ASIC’s) is employed. With its wide range input and
flexible programmable output, any change in the load becomes very manageable with little to no impact on time to market. All
of the converters in this family are buck converters. The APC08x03 versions allow 1.8V to 6V input voltage and the
APC08x08 versions allow a 5V to 12V input with 14V max surge.
MODULE PIN ASSIGNMENT

INDUSTRY STANDARD PINOUT
When ordered with no options, the module comes with only 4 pins – Vin, Gnd, Vout and Enable – and is compatible
with other leading manufacturer’s footprint. The PGood, Active Current Share, and Trim pins are options that can be
ordered with any model number. For the optional trim function add a (-9) to the end of the standard part number. For
the optional current share and PGood signal in addition to the trim function, add (-9MA) to the end of the part
number. Please refer to the Part Number Ordering Scheme section.
Note: When using the trim function, this module offers much more trim flexibility than the competitive footprint and also
requires a jumper between the two footprints to be source compatible. Contact Factory for applications note.

Typical Application Circuit (Standard Pinout)
Recommended C1 is a low ESR (<100 mohms) 100 µF tantalum and C2 is a 1 µF ceramic or equivalent. Recommended
output decoupling capacitor C3 for –W models is 22 µF low ESR ceramic capacitor (at a min). For all other models, C3 can go
as low as 1 µF ceramic capacitor.
Figure 2. Typical Application Circuit.
Enable Pin (Standard configuration)
Pin P5 is functioned to enable the output voltage of a
module. If this pin is left open or connected to > 4.1Vdc
up to 14Vdc, the module is turned on. On the other hand,
if this pin is connected to ground or to a voltage potential
from 0 to 0.8Vdc, the module is turned off. The enable pin
can source current up to 60µA max - suited for typical
open-collector transistors readily available in the market.
For TTL compatibility, Figure 3 shows a 7405 open
collector inverter IC utilized to function the Enable
feature. Other common chips that can do the function are
74S05; 74HCT05; non-inverting - 7407; 74S07; 74HC07.
If SMT packaging is preferred, Fairchild's Tiny Logic
NC7SZ05 or TI's Little Logic SN7SLVC1G06 comes in SOT23
or SC70 packages.

Trim Function (-9):
Pin P4 is used for output voltage adjustment. The output voltage can be trimmed through an external resistor or through an
external DC supply as described in the succeeding sections.
Method 1: External Trim Resistor.
By connecting an external resistor across P4 and P3 (Gnd), the voltage appearing on pin P2 (Vo) is adjusted to a higher value.
The output voltage of a module can be adjusted up to a maximum value of 3.3V (nominal) or 83% of the input voltage,
MODEL: APC08 SERIES
OCTOBER 4, 2004 - REVISION 03
SHEET 8 OF 23
Technical Reference Note (APC08)
Method 1: External Trim Resistor (continued)
whichever is lower. By connecting an external resistor across P4 and P2, Vo is adjusted to a lower value. Only small
reductions, 2%, in voltage are recommended, as adjustment to lower voltages tends to affect the loop compensation of the
module.
Full range adjustment (from 0.9V to 3.6V) can be obtained from a module with the lowest Vo setpoint (0.9Vo).
To adjust Vo to a higher value, please refer to
Figure 4. The required resistor value (Rt) can be
determined through Equation (1) where Vo is the
voltage on P2 before the adjustment and Vot is the
voltage of P2 after Rt is connected.

Requiring to adjust output voltage from Vo = 0.9V to Vot = 1.8V. Vref = 0.875V and R1 = 3.09kΩ (from TABLE 1).
Based on Equation (1), Rt can be determined as 3.0kΩ.
To adjust Vo to a lower value, Rt should be connected between P4 and P2. Equation (2) provides the calculation for Rt.

Vo = 3.3V, Vot = 3.234V, Vref = 0.875V, R2 = 1.13kΩ (from TABLE 1).
Based on Equation (1), Rt can be determined as 111.9kΩ.

Method 2: External DC Source
By connecting an external DC supply across P4 (Enable) and P3 (GND) through a limiting resistor Rt, (see Figure 5), output
voltage adjustment can also be achieved. Equation 3 provides the relationship between the External DC supply, Vt, and Vo
(where Vo is the desired output voltage).

on previous sections re: Vo adjustment through external trim resistor.
Example:

Requiring to adjust the output voltage from Vo = 2.5V to 1.8V
Vo = 1.8V, Vr = 0.87V, R1 = 3.09kΩ, R2 = 1.69kΩ (from Table 1). Based on Equation (3), Vt = 3.0V.
Example:

Requiring to adjust the output voltage from Vo = 2.5V to 0.9V
Vo = 0.9V, Vr = 0.87V, R1 = 3.09kΩ, R2 = 1.69kΩ (from Table 1). Based on Equation (3), Vt = 5.9V.

Vo Adjustment to Higher Voltages
Example:
Module version: APC08G03-9 (3V to 6Vin, 2.5Vo).
Requiring to adjust the output voltage from Vo = 2.5V to 3.3V
Vo = 3.3V, Vr = 0.87V, R1 = 3.09kΩ, R2 = 1.69kΩ (from Table 1). Based on Equation (3), Vt = -1.84V.
If application of negative voltage is not desired, the limiting resistor Rt can either be changed to a lower value (Rt = 1kΩ, such
that Vt = 0.60V per Equation 3), or use Method 1.
Power Good Signal Operation (Option (-9MA)):
PG pin provides an output signal indicating the Vout is
operational (TTL logic signal). It can sink current up to a
max of 5mA and can have a maximum external pull-up
voltage of 6V. Please see recommended setup shown on
Figure 6.
For multiple module configurations, the PG pin/signal
can be used to drive the Enable signal of the other
module for simple sequencing scheme.
Figure 6. PGood setup.
Active Current Share Operation (Option (-9MA)):
Active Current share pin is compatible with APC08 modules only. Connecting this pin directly with the same Pin from another
module guarantees current sharing to within 40% to 60% Iout. Note that this pin is not compatible with competitive modules
that employ active current sharing.
To attain efficient current sharing between like modules, the following points are recommended:
a) The modules to be shared should be located as close as possible into the host card.
b) The copper tracks that connect Vo and GND should at least be 0.60" in width with at least 2 oz. Cu.
c) Due to tolerances of turn-on time characteristics, the initial load current of two APC08 units connected in current sharing
configuration should be less than the OCP point of one module. This is to ensure that the first unit that reaches Vo set-point
is capable of supplying the load current. This also eliminates the possibility of false triggering the OCP protection. The load
current can then be ramped up to the desired loading condition (typical 13A max combined for 2 modules in parallel) after
both outputs have stabilized.
d) Due to mismatches on the output voltage setpoints of the two converters in parallel, it is recommended to maintain a
minimum load current (typical 1.5A) on the output.

RECOMMENDED LOCATION FOR PICK AND PLACE
The flat top surface of the large inductor (topside of the board) provides a versatile and convenient way of picking up the
module (see Figure 46). A 6-7mm outside diameter nozzle from a conventional SMD machine is recommended to attain
maximum vacuum pick-up. Nozzle travel and rotation speed should be controlled to prevent this off-centered picked-up
module from falling off the nozzle. The use of vision recognition systems for placement accuracy will be very helpful.
RECOMMENDED REFLOW PROFILE
REFLOW NOTES / RECOMMENDATIONS
240
2.
3.
Refer to the recommended Reflow Profile per
Figure 47. Profile parameters exceeding the
recommended maximums may result to
permanent damage to the module.
The module is recommended for topside
reflow process to the host card. For other
orientations, contact factory.
In the event that the module needs to be
desoldered from the host card, some pins
may be detached from the module.

PACKING AND SHIPPING
Standard packaging for the modules will be in tape and reel. Jedec-style tray packaging is also available (add suffix
"J" in pn). Please refer to the ordering information. Maximum number of modules in a reel is 300pcs. The tray can
hold 33 modules max. Please refer to Figure 49 for the carrier dimensions.
