VIN 1, 2 TYPE DESCRIPTION Power Supply input -- Nominal operating range is 6 V to 36 V. A small amount of internal capacitance is contained within the package assembly. Additional external input capacitance is required between this pin and PGND SYNC 3 Analog Sync Input -- Apply a CMOS logic level square wave whose frequency is between 350 kHz and 600 kHz to synchronize the PWM operating frequency to an external frequency source. When not using synchronization this pin must be tied to ground. The module free-running PWM frequency is 350 kHz. EN 4 Analog Enable -- Input to the precision enable comparator. Rising threshold is 1.274 V typical. Once the module is enabled, a 20 A source current is internally activated to accommodate programmable hysteresis. 5, 6 Ground Analog Ground -- Reference point for all stated voltages. Must be externally connected to EP/PGND. FB 7 Analog Feedback -- Internally connected to the regulation, over-voltage, and short-circuit comparators. The regulation reference point is 0.8 V at this input pin. Connect the feedback resistor divider between the output and AGND to set the output voltage. SS 8 Analog Soft-Start/Track input -- To extend the 1.6 mSec internal soft-start connect an external soft start capacitor. For tracking connect to an external resistive divider connected to a higher priority supply rail. See Design Steps for the LMZ23610 Application section. 9 Analog Share pin. Connect this to the share pin of other LMZ23610 modules to share the load between the devices. One device should be configured as the master by connecting the FB normally. All other devices should be configured as slaves by leaving their respective FB pins floating. Leave this pin floating if not used, do not ground. See Design Steps for the LMZ23610 Application section. VOUT 10, 11 Power Output Voltage -- Output from the internal inductor. Connect the output capacitor between this pin and PGND. PGND EP Ground Exposed Pad / Power Ground Electrical path for the power circuits within the module. -- NOT Internally connected to AGND / pin 5. Used to dissipate heat from the package during operation. Must be electrically connected to pin 5 external to the package.

The output voltage is maintained through feedback compared with an internal 0.8-V reference. For emulated peak current-mode, the valley current is sampled on the down-slope of the inductor current. This is used as the DC value of current to start the next cycle. The primary application for emulated peak current-mode is high input voltage to low output voltage operating at a narrow duty cycle. By sampling the inductor current at the end of the switching cycle and adding an external ramp, the minimum ON-time can be significantly reduced, without the need for blanking or filtering which is normally required for peak current-mode control. 7.2 Functional Block Diagram Linear Regulator 2M VIN 1 3 3 CIN EN 2 350 kHz PWM SS 2.2 uH VOUT VREF 3 RFBT CINint 1 SYNC CSS CBST COUT FB RFBB 2 Comp SH Filter AGND Regulator IC EP/ PGND Internal Passives 7.3 Feature Description 7.3.1 Synchronization Input The PWM switching frequency can be synchronized to an external frequency source. The PWM switching will be in phase with the external frequency source. If this feature is not used, connect this input either directly to ground, or connect to ground through a resistor of 1.5 k or less. The allowed synchronization frequency range is 314 kHz to 600 kHz. The typical input threshold is 1.4 V. Ideally, the input clock must overdrive the threshold by a factor of 2, so direct drive from 3.3-V logic through a 1.5-k or less Thevenin source resistance is recommended. Note that applying a sustained logic 1 corresponds to 0-Hz PWM frequency and will cause the module to stop switching. 7.3.2 Current Sharing When a load current higher than 10 A is required by the application, the LMZ23610 can be configured to share the load between multiple devices. To share the load current between the devices, connect the SH pin of all current sharing LMZ23610 modules. One device must be configured as the master by connecting FB normally. All other devices must be configured as slaves by leaving their respective FB pins floating. The modules must be synchronized by a clock signal to avoid beat frequencies in the output voltage caused by small differences in the internal 359-kHz clock. If the modules are not synchronized, the magnitude of the ripple voltage will depend on the phase relationship of the internal clocks. The external synchronizing clocks can be in phase for all modules, 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2011-2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMZ23610 LMZ23610 www.ti.com SNVS707G - MARCH 2011 - REVISED AUGUST 2016 Feature Description (continued) or out of phase to reduce the current stress on the input and output capacitors. As an example, two modules can be run 180 degrees out of phase, and three modules can be run 120 degrees out of phase. The VIN, VOUT, PGND, and AGND pins must also be connected with low impedance paths. It is particularly important to pay close attention to the layout of AGND and SH, as offsets in grounding or noise picked up from other devices will be seen as a mismatch in current sharing and could cause noise issues. Current sharing modules can be configured to share the same set of bulk input and output capacitors, while each having their own local input and output bypass capacitors. A CIN_BYP >= 30 F is still recommended for each module that is connected in a current sharing configuration. A COUT_BYP consisting of 47-nF X7R ceramic capacitor in parallel with a 22-F ceramic capacitor is recommended to locally bypass the output voltage for each module. These capacitors will provide local bypassing of high-frequency switched currents. In a current sharing system using two or more modules, the slaves have their error amp circuitry disconnected. The master overrides the error amplifier outputs of the slaves. This signal is then compared to each module's individual current sense circuitry. Due to this, the current sense gain of the entire system increases according to the number of modules slaved to the master. To compensate for this and ensure good stability, the total output capacitance has to be increased. For example, two modules configured to provide 1.2 VOUT and 20 amps have a required total bulk output capacitance of COUT_BULK = 2 x 450-F (ESR 25 m). This is a thirty six percent increase in the required output capacitance of a stand alone module. Up to 6 modules can be connected in parallel for loads up to 60 A. For more information on current sharing refer to AN-2093 (SNVA460).

Output Voltage Ripple of Two Modules With Synchronization Clocks 180 Degrees Out of Phase 7.3.3 Output Overvoltage Protection If the voltage at FB is greater than a 0.86-V internal reference, the output of the error amplifier is pulled toward ground, causing VOUT to fall. 7.3.4 Current Limit The LMZ23610 is protected by both low-side (LS) and high-side (HS) current limit circuitry. The LS current limit detection is carried out during the OFF-time by monitoring the current through the LS synchronous MOSFET. Referring to the Functional Block Diagram, when the top MOSFET is turned off, the inductor current flows through the load, the PGND pin and the internal synchronous MOSFET. If this current exceeds 13 A (typical), the current limit comparator disables the start of the next switching period. Switching cycles are prohibited until current drops below the limit. NOTE DC current limit is dependent on duty cycle as illustrated in the graph in the Typical Characteristics section. The HS current limit monitors the current of top side MOSFET. Once HS current limit is detected (16 A typical) , the HS MOSFET is shutoff immediately, until the next cycle. Exceeding HS current limit causes VOUT to fall. Typical behavior of exceeding LS current limit is that fSW drops to 1/2 of the operating frequency. 7.3.5 Thermal Protection The junction temperature of the LMZ23610 must not be allowed to exceed its maximum ratings. Thermal protection is implemented by an internal Thermal Shutdown circuit which activates at 165C (typical) causing the device to enter a low power standby state. In this state the main MOSFET remains off causing VOUT to fall, and additionally the CSS capacitor is discharged to ground. Thermal protection helps prevent catastrophic failures for accidental device overheating. When the junction temperature falls back below 150 C (typical hysteresis = 15C) the SS pin is released, VOUT rises smoothly, and normal operation resumes. Applications requiring maximum output current especially those at high input voltage may require additional derating at elevated temperatures. 7.3.6 Prebiased Start-Up The LMZ23610 will properly start up into a prebiased output. This start-up situation is common in multiple rail logic applications where current paths may exist between different power rails during the start-up sequence. The following scope capture shows proper behavior in this mode. Trace one is Enable going high. Trace two is 1.8-V prebias rising to 3.3 V. Trace three is the SS voltage with a CSS= 0.47 F. Rise-time determined by CSS. 16 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2011-2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMZ23610 LMZ23610 www.ti.com SNVS707G - MARCH 2011 - REVISED AUGUST 2016 Feature Description (continued) Figure 48. Prebiased Start-Up 7.3.6.1 Tracking Supply Divider Option The tracking function allows the module to be connected as a slave supply to a primary voltage rail (often the 3.3-V system rail) where the slave module output voltage is lower than that of the master. Proper configuration allows the slave rail to power up coincident with the master rail such that the voltage difference between the rails during ramp-up is small (that is, < 0.15 V typical). The values for the tracking resistive divider must be selected such that the effect of the internal 50-A current source is minimized. In most cases the ratio of the tracking divider resistors is the same as the ratio of the output voltage setting divider. Proper operation in tracking mode dictates the soft-start time of the slave rail be shorter than the master rail; a condition that is easy to satisfy because the CSS cap is replaced by RTKB. The tracking function is only supported for the power up interval of the master supply; once the SS/TRK rises past 0.795 V the input is no longer enabled and the 50-A internal current source is switched off. 3.3V Master 2.5Vout Int VCC 50 PA Rtkt 226 Rfbt 2.26k SS FB Rtkb 107 Rfbb 1.07k Figure 49. Tracking Option Input Detail 7.4 Device Functional Modes 7.4.1 Discontinuous Conduction and Continuous Conduction Modes At light load the regulator will operate in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). With load currents above the critical conduction point, it will operate in continuous conduction mode (CCM). When operating in DCM, inductor current is maintained to an average value equaling IOUT. In DCM the low-side switch will turn off when the inductor current falls to zero, this causes the inductor current to resonate. Although it is in DCM, the current is allowed to go slightly negative to charge the bootstrap capacitor. In CCM, current flows through the inductor through the entire switching cycle and never falls to zero during the OFF-time.

Layout PCB for required thermal performance 8.2.2.2 Enable Divider, RENT, RENB and RENHSelection Internal to the module is a 2-M pullup resistor connected from VIN to Enable. For applications not requiring precision undervoltage lockout (UVLO), the Enable input may be left open circuit and the internal resistor will always enable the module. In such case, the internal UVLO occurs typically at 4.3 V (VIN rising). In applications with separate supervisory circuits Enable can be directly interfaced to a logic source. In the case of sequencing supplies, the divider is connected to a rail that becomes active earlier in the power-up cycle than the LMZ23610 output rail. Enable provides a precise 1.274-V threshold to allow direct logic drive or connection to a voltage divider from a higher enable voltage such as VIN. Additionally there is 13 A (typical) of switched offset current allowing programmable hysteresis. See Figure 52. The function of the enable divider is to allow the designer to choose an input voltage below which the circuit will be disabled. This implements the feature of a programmable UVLO. The two resistors must be chosen based on the following ratio: RENT / RENB = (VIN UVLO / 1.274 V) - 1 (1) The LMZ23610 typical application shows 12.7 k for RENB and 42.2 k for RENT resulting in a rising UVLO of 5.51 V. Note that this divider presents 4.62 V to the EN input when VIN is raised to 20 V. This upper voltage must always be checked, making sure that it never exceeds the Abs Max 5.5-V limit for Enable. A 5.1-V Zener clamp can be applied in cases where the upper voltage would exceed the EN input's range of operation. The Zener clamp is not required if the target application prohibits the maximum Enable input voltage from being exceeded. Additional enable voltage hysteresis can be added with the inclusion of RENH. It is possible to select values for RENT and RENB such that RENH is a value of zero allowing it to be omitted from the design. Rising threshold can be calculated as follows: VEN(rising) = 1.274 ( 1 + (RENT|| 2 meg)/ RENB) (2) Whereas the falling threshold level can be calculated using: VEN(falling) = VEN(rising) - 13 A ( RENT|| 2 meg || RENTB + RENH ) VIN (3) INT-VCC (5V) 13 PA 2.0M RENT 42.2k RENH ENABLE RUN 100: 5.1V RENB 12.7k 1.274V Figure 52.

For VOUT = 0.8 V the FB pin can be connected to the output directly and RFBB can be set to 8.06 k to provide minimum output load. Table 1 lists the values for RFBT , and RFBB. Table 1.

MMSZ5231BS-7-F 8.2.2.4 Soft-Start Capacitor Selection Programmable soft-start permits the regulator to slowly ramp to its steady-state operating point after being enabled, thereby reducing current inrush from the input supply and slowing the output voltage rise-time. Upon turnon, after all UVLO conditions have been passed, an internal 1.6-ms circuit slowly ramps the SS input to implement internal soft-start. If 1.6 ms is an adequate turnon time then the Css capacitor can be left unpopulated. Longer soft-start periods are achieved by adding an external capacitor to this input. Soft-start duration is given by the formula: tSS = VREF x CSS / Iss = 0.795 V x CSS / 50 A (6) This equation can be rearranged as follows: CSS = tSS x 50 A / 0.795 V (7) Using a 0.22-F capacitor results in 3.5-ms typical soft-start duration; and 0.47 F results in 7.5 ms typical. 0.47 F is a recommended initial value. As the soft-start input exceeds 0.795 V the output of the power stage will be in regulation and the 50-A current is deactivated. The following conditions will reset the soft-start capacitor by discharging the SS input to ground with an internal current sink. * * * The Enable input being pulled low A thermal shutdown condition VIN falling below 4.3 V (typical) and triggering the VCC UVLO Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2011-2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMZ23610 21 LMZ23610 SNVS707G - MARCH 2011 - REVISED AUGUST 2016 www.ti.com 8.2.2.5 COUT Selection None of the required COUT output capacitance is contained within the module. A minimum value ranging from 330 F for 6-VOUT to 660 F for 1.2-VOUT applications is required based on the values of internal compensation in the error amplifier. These minimum values can be decreased if the effective capacitor ESR is higher than 15 m. A Low ESR (15 m) tantalum, organic semiconductor or specialty polymer capacitor types in parallel with a 47nF X7R ceramic capacitor for high frequency noise reduction is recommended for obtaining lowest ripple. The output capacitor COUT may consist of several capacitors in parallel placed in close proximity to the module. The output voltage ripple of the module depends on the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the capacitor bank, and can be calculated by multiplying the ripple current of the module by the effective impedance of your chosen output capacitors (for ripple current calculation, see Equation 14). Electrolytic capacitors will have large ESR and lead to larger output ripple than ceramic or polymer types. For this reason a combination of ceramic and polymer capacitors is recommended for low output ripple performance. The output capacitor assembly must also meet the worst case ripple current rating of iL, as calculated in Equation 14 below. Loop response verification is also valuable to confirm closed loop behavior. For applications with dynamic load steps; the following equation provides a good first pass approximation of COUT for load transient requirements. Istep COUT t ('VOUT - ISTEP x ESR) x ( fSW ) VOUT (8) For 12 VIN, 3.3 VOUT, a transient voltage of 5% of VOUT = 0.165 V (VOUT), a 9-A load step (ISTEP), an output capacitor effective ESR of 3 m, and a switching frequency of 350 kHz (fSW): 9A COUT t (0.165V - 9A x 0.003) x ( 350e3 ) 3.3V t 615 PF (9) NOTE The stability requirement for minimum output capacitance must always be met. One recommended output capacitor combination is two 330-F, 15-m ESR tantalum polymer capacitors connected in parallel with a 47-F 6.3-V X5R ceramic. This combination provides excellent performance that may exceed the requirements of certain applications. Additionally some small 47-nF ceramic capacitors can be used for high-frequency EMI suppression. 8.2.2.6 CIN Selection The LMZ23610 module contains two internal ceramic input capacitors. Additional input capacitance is required external to the module to handle the input ripple current of the application. The input capacitor can be several capacitors in parallel. This input capacitance must be located in very close proximity to the module. Input capacitor selection is generally directed to satisfy the input ripple current requirements rather than by capacitance value. Input ripple current rating is dictated by the equation: ICIN-RMS = IOUT x D(1-D) where * D VOUT / VIN (10) As a point of reference, the worst case ripple current will occur when the module is presented with full load current and when VIN = 2 x VOUT. Recommended minimum input capacitance is 30-F X7R (or X5R) ceramic with a voltage rating at least 25% higher than the maximum applied input voltage for the application. TI also recommends to pay attention to the voltage and temperature derating of the capacitor selected. NOTE Ripple current rating of ceramic capacitors may be missing from the capacitor data sheet and you may have to contact the capacitor manufacturer for this parameter. 22 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2011-2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMZ23610 LMZ23610 www.ti.com SNVS707G - MARCH 2011 - REVISED AUGUST 2016 If the system design requires a certain minimum value of peak-to-peak input ripple voltage (VIN) to be maintained then the following equation may be used. CIN 8 IOUT x D x (1 - D) fSW x 'VIN (11) If VIN is 200 mV or 1.66% of VIN for a 12-V input to 3.3-V output application and fSW = 350 kHz then: 10A x 3.3V * 3.3V* x 1(c) 12V (c) 12V CIN 8 350 kHz x 200 mV 8 28 F (12) Additional bulk capacitance with higher ESR may be required to damp any resonant effects of the input capacitance and parasitic inductance of the incoming supply lines. The LMZ23610 typical applications schematic and evaluation board include a 150-F 50-V aluminum capacitor for this function. There are many situations where this capacitor is not necessary. 8.2.2.7 Discontinuous Conduction and Continuous Conduction Mode Selection The approximate formula for determining the DCM/CCM boundary is as follows: (VIN - VOUT) x D IDCB = 2 x L x fSW (13) The inductor internal to the module is 2.2 H. This value was chosen as a good balance between low and high input voltage applications. The main parameter affected by the inductor is the amplitude of the inductor ripple current (iL). iL can be calculated with: (VIN - VOUT) x D 'iL = L x fSW where * * VIN is the maximum input voltage fSW is typically 359 kHz (14) If the output current IOUT is determined by assuming that IOUT = IL, the higher and lower peak of iL can be determined.

This input supply must be well regulated and able to withstand maximum input current and maintain a stable voltage. The resistance of the input supply rail must be low enough that an input current transient does not cause a high enough drop at the LMZ23610 supply voltage that can cause a false UVLO fault triggering and system reset. If the input supply is more than a few inches from the LMZ23610, additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors. The amount of bulk capacitance is not critical, but a 47-F or 100-F electrolytic capacitor is a typical choice. 10 Layout 10.1 Layout Guidelines PC board layout is an important part of DC-DC converter design. Poor board layout can disrupt the performance of a DC-DC converter and surrounding circuitry by contributing to EMI, ground bounce and resistive voltage drop in the traces. These can send erroneous signals to the DC-DC converter resulting in poor regulation or instability. Good layout can be implemented by following a few simple design rules. A good layout example is shown in Figure 59. 1. Minimize area of switched current loops. From an EMI reduction standpoint, it is imperative to minimize the high di/dt paths during PCB layout as shown in Figure 56 above. The high current loops that do not overlap have high di/dt content that will cause observable high frequency noise on the output pin if the input capacitor (CIN) is placed at a distance away from the LMZ23610. Therefore place CIN as close as possible to the LMZ23610 VIN and PGND exposed pad. This will minimize the high di/dt area and reduce radiated EMI. Additionally, grounding for both the input and output capacitor must consist of a localized top side plane that connects to the PGND exposed pad (EP). 2. Have a single point ground. The ground connections for the feedback, soft-start, and enable components must be routed to the AGND pin of the device. This prevents any switched or load currents from flowing in the analog ground traces. If not properly handled, poor grounding can result in degraded load regulation or erratic output voltage ripple behavior. Additionally provide a single point ground connection from pin 4 (AGND) to EP/PGND. 3. Minimize trace length to the FB pin. Both feedback resistors, RFBT and RFBB must be located close to the FB pin. Because the FB node is high impedance, maintain the copper area as small as possible. The traces from RFBT, RFBB must be routed away from the body of the LMZ23610 to minimize possible noise pickup. 4. Make input and output bus connections as wide as possible. This reduces any voltage drops on the input or output of the converter and maximizes efficiency. To optimize voltage accuracy at the load, ensure that a separate feedback voltage sense trace is made to the load. Doing so will correct for voltage drops and provide optimum output accuracy. 5. Provide adequate device heat-sinking. Use an array of heat-sinking vias to connect the exposed pad to the ground plane on the bottom PCB layer. If the PCB has multiple copper layers, these thermal vias can also be connected to inner layer heatspreading ground planes. For best results use a 10 x 10 via array or larger with a minimum via diameter of 8 mil thermal vias spaced 46.8 mil (1.5 mm). Ensure enough copper area is used for heat-sinking to keep the junction temperature below 125C.

Many common operating conditions are provided in the characteristic curves such that less common applications can be derived through interpolation. In all designs, the junction temperature must be kept below the rated maximum of 125C. For the design case of VIN = 12 V, VOUT = 3.3 V, IOUT = 10 A, and TA-MAX = 50C, the module must see a thermal resistance from case to ambient (CA) of less than: TJ-MAX TA-MAX - TJC TCA < PIC_LOSS (15) Given the typical thermal resistance from junction to case (JC) to be 1.0C/W. Use the 85C power dissipation curves in the Typical Characteristics section to estimate the PIC-LOSS for the application being designed. In this application it is 5.3 W. TCA < 125C - 50C - 1.0 C < 18.23 C 3.9 W W W (16) To reach CA = 13.15, the PCB is required to dissipate heat effectively. With no airflow and no external heat-sink, a good estimate of the required board area covered by 2-oz. copper on both the top and bottom metal layers is: Board Area_cm2 8 500 . C x cm 2 TCA W (17) As a result, approximately 38.02 square cm of 2-oz. copper on top and bottom layers is the minimum required area for the example PCB design. This is 6.16 x 6.16 cm (2.42 x 2.42 in) square. The PCB copper heat sink must be connected to the exposed pad. For best performance, use approximately 100, 8 mil thermal vias spaced 59 mil (1.5 mm) apart connect the top copper to the bottom copper. Another way to estimate the temperature rise of a design is using JA. An estimate of JA for varying heat sinking copper areas and airflows can be found in the typical applications curves. If our design required the same operating conditions as before but had 225 LFPM of airflow. We locate the required JA of TJA < TJ-MAX - TA-MAX PIC_LOSS TJA < (125 - 50) C C < 19.23 3.9 W W (18) On the JA vs copper heatsinking curve, the copper area required for this application is now only 2 square inches. The airflow reduced the required heat sinking area by a factor of three. To reduce the heat sinking copper area further, this package is compatible with D3-PAK surface mount heat sinks.
