ENABLE is internally tied to AVIN and ground through a 100k resistor divider. Leaving ENABLE floating will result in voltage at half of AVIN. 4 POK VTT OK flag.

The ENABLE pin should not be left floating. transition is complete for enhanced noise immunity. consumption in shutdown mode.

The overload function is achieved by sensing the output voltage. An overload state is entered when the device is out of soft start and the output voltage drops below ~85% of VDDQ/2. When an OCP condition is detected, the device is disabled, the output is discharged through a 100 resistor for a period of 1.5mS. After the 1.5mS discharge time has expired, a soft start is initiated as described in the soft start section. If an over current condition is again detected the device will repeat the discharge/soft start cycle in a hiccup manner as long as the over current condition persists. Thermal Overload Protection Thermal shutdown will disable operation when the Junction temperature exceeds approximately 150ºC. Output will discharge through a 100 ohm resistor for 1.5mS. If the thermal fault condition is still present then the device will hiccup until temp falls by 25°C. Once the junction temperature drops by approximately 25ºC, the converter will re- start with a normal soft-start. Input Under -Voltage Lock -out Internal circuits ensure that the converter will not start switching until the AVIN voltage is above the specified minimum voltage. www.altera.com/enpirion, Page 13

Thermal considerations are important physical limitations that cannot be avoided in the real world. Whenever there are power losses in a system, the heat that is generated by the power dissipation needs to be accounted for. The Altera Enpirion EV1320QI VDDQ/VTT Converter is packaged in a 3x 3x0.55mm 16-pin QFN package. The recommended maximum junction temperature for continuous operation is 125°C. Continuous operation above 125°C may reduce long- term reliability. The device has a thermal overload protection circuit designed to turn off the device at an approximate junction temperature value of 150°C. The EV1320QI is guaranteed to support the full 2A output current up to 85°C ambient temperature. The following example and calculations illustrate the thermal performance of the EV1320QI. Example: VDDQ = 1.2V VTT = 0.6V I OUT = 2A First calculate the output power. POUT = VTT * IOUT = 0.6V x 2A = 1.2W Next, determine the input power based on the efficiency (η) shown in Figure 8. Figure 8: Efficiency vs. Output Current For VDDQ = 1.2V, VTT = 0.6V at 2A, η ≈ 92.6% η = POUT / PIN = 92.6% = 0.926 PIN = POUT / η PIN ≈ 1.2W / 0.926 ≈ 1.2959W The power dissipation (PD) is the power loss in the system and can be calculated by subtracting the output power from the input power. PD = PIN – POUT ≈ 1.2959W – 1.2W ≈ 0.0959W With the power dissipation known, the temperature rise in the device may be estimated based on the theta JA value (θ JA). The θJA parameter estimates how much the temperature will rise in the device for every watt of power dissipation. The EV1320QI has a θ JA value of 50 ºC/W without airflow. Determine the change in temperature (ΔT) based on PD and θJA. ΔT = PD x θJA The junction temperature (T J) of the device is approximately the ambient temperature (T A) plus the change in temperature. We assume the initial ambient temperature to be 25°C. TJ = TA + ΔT With 0.0959W dissipated into the device, the TJ will be 29.8°C. The maximum operating junction temperature JMAX) of the device is 125°C, so the device can operate at a higher ambient temperature. The maximum ambient temperature (T AMAX) allowed can be calculated. TAMAX = TJMAX – PD x θJA The ambient temperature can actually rise by another 95.2°C, bringing it to 1 20.2°C before the device will reach T JMAX. This indicates that the EV1320QI can support the full 2 A output current range up to approximately 1 20.2°C ambient temperature given the input and output voltage conditions. This allows the EV1320QI to guarantee full 2A output current capability at 85°C with room for margin. Note that the efficiency will be slightly lower at higher temperatures and these calculations are estimates.

Figure 9: Typical Top Side and Bottom Side Layout Recommendation (Top View) Figure 9 shows the critical components along with top and bottom traces of a recommended minimum footprint EV1320QI layout with ENABLE tied to VDDQ. Alternate enabling configurations, and the POK pin would have to be connected and routed according to the specific customer application. Please see the Gerber files at www.altera.com/enpirion for exact dimensions and the internal layers. Recommendation 1: Input and output filter capacitors should be placed on the same side of the PCB, and as close to the EV1320QI package as possible. They should be connected to the device with very short and wide traces. Do not use thermal relief s or spokes when connecting the capacitor pads to the respective nodes. The +V and GND traces between the capacitors and the EV1320QI should be as close to each other as possible so that the gap between the two nodes is minimized, even under the capacitors . Recommendation 2: The C1N- C1P capacitors should be placed as close to the C1N- C1P pins as possible. Use large copper planes to minimize resistance and inductance. The C1P and C1N traces between the capacitors and the EV1320QI should be as close to each other as possible so that the gap between the two nodes is minimized, even under the capacitors. Recommendation 3: The system ground plane should be the first layer immediately below the surface layer (layer 2). This ground plane should be continuous and un-interrupted below the converter and the input/output capacitors. Recommendation 4: The VDDQ and VOUT copper are paralleled on layers 3 and 4 in order to minimize overall series resistance. Please see Gerber files. Recommendation 5: AVIN is the power supply for the internal control circuits. It should be connected to the 3.3V bus at a quiet point. A 10µF bypass capacitor (shown on the backside in Figure 9) is needed on the AVIN node. If the AVIN supply is noisy, an optional 1Ω resistor is recommended in series with AVIN. See Figure 6. Recommendation 6: The AGND pin does not get connected to PGND on layer 1. It connects to PGND on layer 2 ground plane. This provides som e noise isolation between AGND and the noisy PGND trace on layer 1. Recommendation 7: The soft-start capacitor CSS and the AVIN capacitor CAVIN are placed on the back side in Figure 9 so that the input PGND trace is not compromised. Recommendation 8: If POK needs to be used, place a via to the left of pin 4, and route the POK trace on layer 3 to the POK resistor. Place the POK resistor to AVIN such that any modifications to the traces and placements in this recommended layout are minimized. Recommendation 9: Follow all the layout recommendations as close as possible to optimize performance. Altera provides schematic and layout reviews for all customer designs.
