©Enpirion 2012 all rights reserved, E&OE 10 www.enpirion.com Detailed Description Functional Overview The EP5357xUI require s only 2 small MLCC capacitors for a complete DC-DC converter solution. The device integrates MOSFET switches, PWM controller, Gate-drive, compensation, and inductor into a tiny 2.5mm x 2.25mm x 1.1mm QFN package. Advanced package design, along with the high level of integration, provides very low output ripple and noise. The EP5357xUI uses voltage mode control for high noise immunity and load matching to advanced ≤90nm loads. A 3-pin VID allows the user to choose from one of 8 output voltage settings. The EP5357xUI comes with two VID output voltage ranges. The EP5357HUI provides V OUT settings from 1.8V to 3.3V, the EP 5357LUI provides VID settings from 0.8V to 1.5V, and also has an external resistor divi der option to program output setting over the 0.6V to V IN-0.25V range. The EP5357xUI pr ovides the industry’s highest power density of any 600mA DCDC converter solution. The key enabler of this revolutionary integration is Enpiri on’s proprietary power MOSFET technology. The advanced MOSFET switches are implement ed in deep-submicron CMOS to supply very low switching loss at high switching frequencies and to allow a high level of integration. The semiconductor process allows seem-less integrat ion of all switching, control, and compensation circuitry. The proprietary magnetics design provides high-density/high-value magnetics in a very small footprint. Enpirion magnetics are carefully matched to the control and compensation circuitry yielding an optimal solution with assured performance over the entire operating range. Protection features in clude under-voltage lock- out (UVLO), over-current protection (OCP), short circuit protection, and thermal overload protection. Integrated Inductor The EP5357xUI utilizes a proprietary low loss integrated inductor. The integration of the inductor greatly simplifies the power supply design process. The inherent shielding and compact construction of the integrated inductor reduces the conducted and radiated noise that can couple into the traces of the printed circuit board. Further, the package layout is optimized to reduce the electrical path length for the high di/dT input AC ripple currents that are a major source of radiated emissions from DC-DC converters. The integrated inductor provides the optimal solution to the complexity, output ripple, and noise that plague low power DCDC converter design. Voltage Mode Control The EP5357xUI utilizes an integrated type III compensation network. Voltage mode control is inherently impedance matched to the sub 90nm process technology that is used in today’s advanced ICs. Voltage mode control also provides a high degr ee of noise immunity at light load currents so that low ripple and high accuracy are maintained over the entire load range. The very high switching frequency allows for a very wide control loop bandwidth and hence excellent transient performance. Light Load Mode (LLM) Operation The EP5357xUI uses a proprietary light load mode to provide high effi ciency in the low load operating condition. When the LLM pin is high, the device is in automatic LLM/PWM mode. When the LLM pin is low, the device is in PWM mode. In automatic LLM/PWM mode, when a light load condition is detected, the device will (1) step V OUT up by approximat ely 1.5% above the nominal operating output voltage setting, VNOM, and then (2) shut down unnecessary circuitry, and (3) monitor VOUT. When VOUT falls below VNOM, the device will repeat (1), (2), and (3). The voltage step up, or pre-positioning, improves transient droop when a load transient causes a transition from LLM mode to PWM mode. If a load transient occurs, causing V OUT to fall below the threshold V MIN, the device will
©Enpirion 2012 all rights reserved, E&OE 11 www.enpirion.com exit LLM operation and begin normal PWM operation. Figure 6 demonstrates V OUT behavior during transition into and out of LLM operation. VOUT IOUT LLM Ripple PWM Ripple VMAX VNOM VMIN Load Step Figure 6: VOUT Behavior in LLM Operation Figure 7: VOUT Droop during Periodic LLM Exit Many multi-mode DCDC converters suffer from a condition that occurs when the load current increases only slowly so that there is no load transient driving V OUT below the VMIN threshold. In this condition, the device would never exit LLM operation. This could adversely affect efficiency and cause unwanted ripple. To prevent this from occurring, the EP5357xUI periodically exits LLM mode into PWM mode and measures the load cu rrent. If the load current is above the LLM threshold current, the device will remain in PWM mode. If the load current is below the LLM threshold, the device will re-enter LLM operation. There will be a small droop in V OUT at the point where the device exits and re-enters LLM, as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 8 shows the typical value at which the device will enter LLM operation. The actual load current at which the device will enter LLM operation can vary by +/-30%. Table 1 shows the minimum load current below which the device is guaranteed to be in LLM operating mode. To ensure normal LLM operation, LLM mode should be enabled/dis abled with specific sequencing. For applications with explicit LLM pin control, enable LLM after VIN ramp up is complete; disable LLM before VIN ramp down. Device exits LLM, tests load current
©Enpirion 2012 all rights reserved, E&OE 12 www.enpirion.com For applications with ENABLE control, tie LLM to ENABLE; enable device after VIN ramp up is complete and disable device before VIN ramp down begins. For devices with ENABLE and LLM tied to VIN, contact Enpirion Applications engineering for specific recommendations Increased output filter capacitance and/or increased bulk capacitance at the load will decrease the magnitude of the LLM ripple. Refer to the section on output filter capacitance for maximum values of output filter capacitance and the Soft-Start section for maximum bulk capacitance at the load. NOTE: For proper LLM operation the EP5357xUI requires a minimum difference between V IN and V OUT of 600mV. If this condition is not met, the device cannot be assured proper LLM operation. NOTE: Automatic LLM/PWM is not available when using the external resistor divider option for VOUT programming. Soft Start Internal soft start circuits limit in-rush current when the device starts up from a power down condition or when the “ENABLE” pin is asserted “high”. Digital control circuitry limits the V OUT ramp rate to levels that are safe for the Power MOSFETS and the integrated inductor. The EP5357HUI has a soft- start slew rate that is twice that of the EP5357LUI. When the EP5357LUI is c onfigured in external resistor divider mode, the device has a fixed VOUT ramp time. Therefore, the ramp rate will vary with the output volt age setting. Output voltage ramp time is gi ven in the Electrical Characteristics Table. Excess bulk capacitance on the output of the device can cause an over-current condition at startup. The maximum total capacitance on the output, including the output filter capacitor and bulk and decoupling capacitance, at the load, is given as: EP5357LUI: C OUT_TOTAL_MAX = COUT_Filter + COUT_BULK = 200uF EP5357HUI: COUT_TOTAL_MAX = COUT_Filter + COUT_BULK = 100uF EP5357LUI in external divider mode: COUT_TOTAL_MAX = 2.25x10-4/VOUT Farads The nominal value for C OUT is 10uF. See the applications section for more details. Over Current/Short Circuit Protection The current limit function is achieved by sensing the current flowing through a sense P- MOSFET which is compared to a reference current. When this level is exceeded the P- FET is turned off and the N-FET is turned on, pulling V OUT low. This condition is maintained for approximately 0.5mS and then a normal soft start is initiated. If the over current condition still persists, this cycle will repeat. Under Voltage Lockout During initial power up an under voltage lockout circuit will hold-off the switching circuitry until the in put voltage reaches a sufficient level to insure proper operation. If the voltage drops below the UVLO threshold the lockout circuitry will again disable the switching. Hysteresis is included to prevent chattering between states. Enable The ENABLE pin provides a means to shut down the converter or enable normal operation. A logic low will disable the converter and cause it to shut down. A logic high will enable the converter into normal operation. NOTE: The ENABLE pin must not be left floating. Thermal Shutdown When excessive power is dissipated in the chip, the junction temperature rises. Once the junction temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown temperature t he thermal shutdown circuit turns off the co nverter output voltage thus allowing the device to cool. When the junction temperature dec reases by 15C°, the device will go through the normal startup process.

Output Voltage Programming The EP5357xUI utilizes a 3-pin VID to program the output voltage value. The VID is available in two sets of output VID programming ranges. The VID pins should be connected either to AVIN or to AGND to avoi d noise coupling into the device. The “Low” range is optim ized for low voltage applications. It comes with preset VID settings ranging from 0.80V and 1.5V. This VID set also has an external divider option. To specify this VID range, order part number EP5357LUI. The “High” VID set pr ovides output voltage settings ranging from 1.8V to 3.3V. This version does not have an external divider option. To specify this VID range, order part number EP5357HUI. Internally, the output of the VID multiplexer sets the value for the voltage reference DAC, which in turn is connected to the non-inverting input of the error amplifier. This allows the use of a single feedback divider with constant loop gain and optimum compensation, independent of the output voltage selected. NOTE: The VID pins must not be left floating. EP5357L Low VID Range Programming The EP5357LUI is designed to provide a high degree of flexibility in powering applications that require low V OUT settings and dynamic voltage scaling (DVS). The device employs a 3-pin VID architecture that allows the user to choose one of seven (7) preset output voltage settings, or the user can select an external voltage divider option. The VID pin settings can be changed on the fly to implement glitch- free voltage scaling.

©Enpirion 2012 all rights reserved, E&OE 14 www.enpirion.com EP5357LUI External Voltage Divider The external divider option is chosen by connecting VID pins VS2-VS0 to V IN or a logic “1” or “high”. The EP5357LUI uses a separate feedback pin, V FB, when using the external divider. V SENSE must be connected to V OUT as indicated in Figure 11 . The output voltage is selected by the following formula: () Rb Ra OUT V V+ =1 6 . 0 Ra must be chosen as 237KΩ to maintain loop gain.

The preset voltages range from 1.8V to 3.3V. There are eight (8) pr eset output voltage settings. The EP5357HUI does not have an external divider option. As with the EP5357LUI, the VID pi n settings can be changed while the device is enabled. Table 3 shows the VS0-VS2 pin logic states for the EP5357HUI and the associated output voltage levels.

The PVIN should never be powered when AVIN is off. During power down, the AVIN should not be powered down before the PVIN. Tying PVIN and AVIN or all three pins (AVIN, PVIN, ENABLE) together during power up or power down meets these requirements Pre-Bias Start-up The EP5357xUI does not support startup into a pre-biased condition. Be sure the output capacitors are not charged or the output of the EP5357xUI is not pre-biased when the EP5357xUI is first enabled. Input Filter Capacitor For ILOAD ≤ 500mA, CIN = 2.2uF For ILOAD > 500mA CIN = 4.7uF. 0402 capacitor case size is acceptable. The input capacitor must use a X5R or X7R or equivalent dielectric formulation. Y5V or equivalent dielectric formulations lose capacitance with fre quency, bias, and with
©Enpirion 2012 all rights reserved, E&OE 15 www.enpirion.com temperature, and are not suitable for switch- mode DC-DC converter input filter applications. Output Filter Capacitor For VIN ≤ 4.3V, COUT_MIN = 10uF 0603 MLCC. For VIN > 4.3V, COUT_MIN = 10uF 0805 MLCC. Ripple performance can be improved by using 2x10µF 0603 MLCC c apacitors (for any allowed VIN). The maximum output filter capacitance next to the output pins of the device is 60µF low ESR MLCC capacitance. V OUT has to be sensed at the last output filter capacitor next to the EP5357xUI. Additional bulk capacitance for decoupling and bypass can be placed at the load as long as there is sufficient separation between the V OUT Sense point and the bulk capacitance. Excess total capacitance on the output (Output Filter + Bulk) can cause an over-current condition at startup. Refer to the section on Soft-Start for the maximum total capacitance on the output. The output capacitor mu st use a X5R or X7R or equivalent dielectric formulation. Y5V or equivalent dielectric formulations lose capacitance with frequency, bias, and temperature and are not suitable for switch- mode DC-DC converter output filter applications.
