The control scheme is based on a peak Current Mode (CM) regulation loop. The VOUT of the regulator is divided by the feedback resistor divider and fed into the FB pin. The error amplifier compares this signal with the internal 0.8V reference. The error signal is amplified and controls the on -time of a fixed frequency pulse width generator. This signal drives the power MOSFETs. The Current Mode architecture features a constant frequency during load steps. Only the on -time is modulated. It is internally compensated and requires no additional external compensation network. This architecture supports fast transient response and very small output ripple values ( less than 15 mV) are achieved only relying on the integrated output capacitors.

VDRM – Variable Step Down Regulator Module we-online.com Würth Elektronik eiSos GmbH & Co. KG –Datasheet 1.0 © February 2018 17/49 Step 2 Select the input capacitor (CIN) The 171031801 integrates already a 10µF MLCC as input capacitor in parallel with a 100nF MLCC. T hese capacitors are enough to fulfil the targeted steady state and transient response under all operating conditions. The resulting input voltage ripple with the internal input capacitors (VIN ripple,INT) is shown in the figure below: If the application has more demanding requirements in terms of input voltage ripple, an external input capacitor can be placed. The input capacitor selection is generally based on different requirements. The first criterion is the input current ripple. Worst case input current ripple rating is dictated by the equation: ICINRMS ≈ 1 2 ∙ IOUT ∙ √ D 1-D (2) where D≈ VOUT VIN As a point of reference, the worst case current ripple will occur when the module is presented with full load current and when VIN = 2 x VOUT. The second criterion is the input voltage ripple. If the system design requires a certain minimum value of pea k-to-peak input voltage ripple then the following equation may be used: CIN ≥ IOUT ∙ D ∙ (1-D) fSW(CCM) ∙ (VIN ripple − ESR∙IOUT ∙ D ) (3) The value of the additional external input capacitor (C IN,EXT) in case a further reduction of the input voltage ripple is required can be calculated with the following equation: CIN,EXT ≥ IOUT ∙ D ∙ (1-D) fSW(CCM) ∙ (VIN ripple − ESR∙IOUT ∙ D ) - CIN,INT (4) where the VIN ripple is the required input voltage ripple and C IN,INT represents the total integrated input capacitance (in this case 10µF+100nF).It is always strongly recommended to pay attention to the voltage and temperature derating of the selected capacitor. -300 -250 -200 -150 -100 -50 100 150 200 250 300 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 Input Voltage Ripple [mV] Time [µs] VIN = 12V, VOUT = 3.3V, IOUT = 3A 250mV

KG –Datasheet 1.0 © February 2018 18/49 Example VIN = 12V, VOUT = 3.3V, IOUT = 3A, VIN ripple ≤ 1% VIN (=120mV). The duty cycle is theoretically defined as the ratio between the output and the input voltage. Actually , a correct estimate of the duty cycle should consider also the efficiency, as shown by the following formula: D= VOUT VIN ∙ 𝜂 (5) where 𝜂 represents the efficiency and its value under the specified conditions can be read on the diagram on page 8 (84%). The equation (4) can be used to calculate the additional external capacitor to achieve the target input voltage ripple. The actual value of the integrated capacitance (CIN,INT) can be estimated by using capacitance derating diagram of the internal capacitor shown below. From the diagram above, the actual capacitance value of 4.7µF can be read. 0 3 6 9 12 15 18 Actual Input Capacitance [µF] Input Voltage [V] 4.7µF

VDRM – Variable Step Down Regulator Module we-online.com Würth Elektronik eiSos GmbH & Co. KG –Datasheet 1.0 © February 2018 19/49 Now equation (4) can be finally used to calculate the required external input capacitor to fulfil the input voltage ripple requirements, assuming ESR = 5mΩ: CIN,EXT = 3A∙0.327∙(1-0.327) Some margin from the calculated CIN,ext value is recommended in order to take into account: - Approximations within the equations to calculate CIN; - Tolerances and variations of some components and parameters involved in those equations (e.g. fSW, ESR, etc.) - Derating of the capacitors with DC applied voltage and temperature A 4.7µF MLCC (Würth Elektronik 885012109012) is selected as CIN,EXT. The resulting input voltage ripple using the additional input capacitor is depicted by the figure below. -300 -250 -200 -150 -100 -50 100 150 200 250 300 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 Intput Voltage Ripple [mV] Time [µs] VIN = 12V, VOUT = 3.3V, IOUT = 3A 120mV

VDRM – Variable Step Down Regulator Module we-online.com Würth Elektronik eiSos GmbH & Co. KG –Datasheet 1.0 © February 2018 20/49 Step 3 Select output capacitor (COUT) The output capacitance determines the performance in terms of output voltage ripple as well as load transient response. The 171031801 integrates already two MLCC of 10 µF as output capacitors, which are enough to operate under a ll conditions. Therefore no external additional output capacitor is necessary. Output voltage ripple The output capacitor should be selected in order to minimize the output voltage ripple and provide a stable voltage at the output. In general, under steady state conditions the output voltage ripple observed at the output can be defined as: VOUTripple=∆IL ∙ ESR+∆IL ∙ 1 8∙fSW∙COUT (6) where ∆IL is the inductor current ripple, calculated with the following equation: ∆IL= VOUT ∙ (VIN-VOUT) fSW ∙ L ∙ VIN (7) The output voltage ripple achievable with the integrated output capacitors only (VOUTripple, int) is around 15mV, as shown by the figure below. In case the application has more demanding requirements in terms of output voltage ripple, additional external capacitors should be used. The value of the external additional capacitance (COUT,INT) can be calculated using the following equation: COUT,EXT ≥ ∆IL 8 ∙ (VOUTripple - ESR∙∆IL) ∙ fSW − COUT, INT (8) where VOUTripple represents the target output voltage ripple whereas C OUT,INT indicates the total amount of the integrated capacitance (20µF). -30 -20 -10 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Output Voltage Ripple [mV] Time [µs] VIN = 12V, VOUT = 3.3V, IOUT = 3A 15mV

VDRM – Variable Step Down Regulator Module we-online.com Würth Elektronik eiSos GmbH & Co. KG –Datasheet 1.0 © February 2018 21/49 Example VIN = 12V, VOUT = 3.3V, IOUT = 3A (this parameter does not influence the output voltage ripple). First of all the actual value of the integrated output capacitance must be estimated, using the derating curve below: At VOUT = 3.3V the value of the output capacitance is not reduced due to the voltage, it is instead slightly higher. Nevertheless, a total value of 20µF can be considered for COUT, INT. Assuming that the application requires an output voltage ripple less than 10m V, the additional ext ernal capacitance should be at least 2µF, according to equation (8): COUT,EXT ≥ 0.853A 8 ∙(0.01V - 0.005Ω∙0.853A) ∙ 0.85 MHz - 20μF = 2μF where a value of ESR of 5mΩ is assumed and ∆IL = 0.853A is the inductor current ripple calculated with the equation (7). Some margin from the calculated COUT,ext value is recommended in order to take into account: - Approximations within the equations to calculate COUT; - Tolerances and variations of some components and parameters involved in those equations (e.g. fSW, ESR, etc.) - Derating of the capacitors with DC applied voltage and temperature 0 3 6 9 12 15 18 Actual Output Capacitance [µF] Output Voltage [V] 3.3V 10.4µF

KG –Datasheet 1.0 © February 2018 22/49 An additional external capacitor of 10µF (Würth Elektronik 885012208069) has been selected as the best performing. The resulting output voltage ripple is shown in the figure below. -30 -20 -10 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Output Voltage Ripple [mV] Time [µs] VIN = 12V, VOUT = 3.3V, IOUT = 3A 9mV

VDRM – Variable Step Down Regulator Module we-online.com Würth Elektronik eiSos GmbH & Co. KG –Datasheet 1.0 © February 2018 23/49 Load transient response The output voltage is also affected by load transients (see picture below). When the output current transitions from a low to a high value, the voltage at the output capacitor (VOUT) drops. This involves two contributing factors . One is caused by the voltage drop across the ESR (V ESR) and depends on the slope of the rising edge of the current step (t rise). For low ESR values and small load current trasnients, this is often negligible . It can be calculated as follows: VESR = ESR ∙ ∆IOUT (9) where ∆IOUT is the load step, as shown in the picture below (simplified: no voltage ripple is shown). 0 t IOUT 0 t VOUT ∆IOUT ∆VOUT VESR Vdischarge td treg trise The second contributing factor is the voltage drop due to discharge of the output capacitor, which can be estimated as: Vdischarge = ∆IOUT ∙ td 2 ∙ COUT (10) In a current mode architecture the t d is strictly related to the bandwidth of the regulation loop and influenced by the C OUT (increasing COUT, the td increases as well).

VDRM – Variable Step Down Regulator Module we-online.com Würth Elektronik eiSos GmbH & Co. KG –Datasheet 1.0 © February 2018 24/49 The figures below show the load transient response achieved with the integrated capacitors only. If the application demands a lower undershoot or overshoot, an additional external capacitance is necessary. In order to choose the value of the external output capacitor COUT,EXT, the following steps should be utilized: 1. Measure td. 2. Calculate the appropria te value of C OUT,EXT for the maximum voltage drop V discharge allowed at a defined load step, using the following equation (11), derived from equation (10). 3. As mentioned above, changing C OUT affects also t d. Therefore, a new meas urement should be perform ed and, if necessary, the step 1 and 2 should be repeated (it is an iterative process and few steps could be required).

KG –Datasheet 1.0 © February 2018 25/49 Example The following application conditions are used as an example to show how to calculate a suitable C OUT,EXT value, in case the application requirements demand a further reduction of the overshoot and undershoot of the output voltage after the load transient. - VIN = 12V - VOUT = 3.3V - load transient from 1A to 3A and vice versa (∆IOUT = 2A) - max allowed undershoot or overshoot ∆VOUT = 150mV Using equation (11), the value of the additional capacitor C OUT,EXT can be calculated . As explained above, some iterations are necessary in order to find the most suitable value because any change in the output capacitance affects t d, which is in turn involved in determining the value of COUT,EXT, and so on. A combination of two MLCC of 22µF (Würth Elektronik 885012109014) are selected. The load transients with the selected COUT,EXT can be tested using the setup depicted below: MagI³C Power Module COUT,EXT RLoad1 RLoad2 IOUT1 IOUT2 VIN GND VIN VOUT GND 6.6Ω 2.2Ω

Driving the EN pin with a voltage lower than 0.4V disables the device and reduces dramatically the input current consumption (typ 2.1µA), while d riving the EN pin with a voltage higher than 1.2V enables the device. An internal pull-down resistor ensures that the device is disabled also when the EN pin is left floating. The EN pin is also VIN compatible. SOFT-START The 171031801 implements an internal soft-start (see figure below) in order to limit the inrush current and avoid output voltage overshoot during start-up. The soft-start is implemented by ramping the reference voltage (non-inverting input of the error amplifier) from 0V to 0.8V in around 1ms (typical duration of the soft-start). 0,0 1,0 2,0 3,0 4,0 5,0 6,0 0,0 1,0 2,0 3,0 4,0 5,0 6,0 0 1 2 3 4 5 Output Voltage [V] EN pin Voltage [V] Time [ms] Output Voltage at Start Up - VIN = 12V, VOUT = 3.3V ENABLE VOUT tSS VIN EN GND Module 1,2,3,4 VIN GND Jumper to VIN MODULE ENABLED VIN EN GND Module 1,2,3,4 VIN GND Jumper to GND MODULE DISABLED VIN EN GND Module 1,2,3,4 VIN GND No jumper (EN floating) MODULE DISABLED

VDRM – Variable Step Down Regulator Module we-online.com Würth Elektronik eiSos GmbH & Co. KG –Datasheet 1.0 © February 2018 30/49 DROPOUT OPERATION The dropout voltage is generally defined as the minimum voltage drop between the input and the output voltages necessary to keep the output voltage regulated. It is usually defined for linear regulators, but it applies also to DC -DC converters when they operate at 100% duty cycle. The 171031801 integrates a p -channel MOSFET as high -side switch. Therefore this module does not need any bootstrap circuitry to create the gate voltage used for driving an n-channel MOSFET. The implementation of a p -channel MOSFET as high-side results in: - there is no minimum off-time, normally necessary to provide the bootstrap circuitry with sufficient voltage - the duty cycle can reach 100%, allowing the output voltage regulation even with a very limited voltage dropout As the input voltage decreases and becomes closer to the output voltage, the duty-cycle rises and reaches then 100%. The voltage dropout in case of 100% duty cycle operation depends fundamentally on the RDSon (resistance of the MOSFET when turned on) of the high-side MOSFET,on the DC resistance of the inductor (DCR) and on the load current. The curve below shows the relation between the dropout voltage and the load current. 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 0,00 0,50 1,00 1,50 2,00 2,50 3,00 Dropout voltage [mV] Output current [A] VOUT = 12V, VOUT = 5V Ta = 25°C Ta = 85°C

VDRM – Variable Step Down Regulator Module we-online.com Würth Elektronik eiSos GmbH & Co. KG –Datasheet 1.0 © February 2018 31/49 PROTECTING FEATURES Overcurrent protection (OCP) The overcurrent protection is implemented by sensing the peak current in the high-side power MOSFET during the on-time. When the peak current exceeds the current limit threshold (I CL, see ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS on page 5) the high- side MOSFET is immediately turned off. The current flows through the low -side MOSFET for the remaining time of the period (see figure below). ICL IO UT IO UT_M AX over curr ent e vent IL t During overcurrent condition, the duty cycle is no longer determined by the control loop, it is instead limited by the curren t limit threshold. Therefore, the output voltage is out of regulation and drops (see figure below). If the volt age at the feedback pin falls below 0.3V, the switching frequency (typ. 850kHz) is reduced to one fourth of the default value and the current limit threshold is folded back to 2A. This additional countermeasure prevents the module and the load from being overstressed by a severe overload condition. The overcurrent threshold foldback is inhibited during the startup, hence allowing the output voltage to properly rise even i n case of big output capacitors, which require a high current to be charged. Overcurrent protection Foldback of the current limit Reduced duty cycle operation Reduced fSW operation switch node VOUT IOUT VOUT drops due to the reduced duty cycle operation Normal operation t

VDRM – Variable Step Down Regulator Module we-online.com Würth Elektronik eiSos GmbH & Co. KG –Datasheet 1.0 © February 2018 32/49 Short circuit protection In case of short circuit condition, the module is protected by the current protection mechanism explained in the previous section. Since a short circuit is present at the output, the voltage at the f eedback pin is surely below 0.3V. Therefore the current fold-back and the switching frequency reduction described above will take place after few switching cycles, as shown in the figure below. Short circuit event Current limit threshold VOUT value corresponding to VFB=0.3V Current limit reduced to 2A VOUT IL t Overtemperature protection (OTP) The overtemperature protection helps to prevent catastrophic failures in case of accidental device overheating. The junction temperature of the 171031801 should not be allowed to exceed its maximum rating. Thermal protection is implemented by an internal thermal shutdown circuit which activates at 150°C (typ.) causing the device to stop switching. In this state the V OUT drops and additionally the internal soft -start capacitor is discharged. When the junction temperature falls back below approximately 135°C (typical hysteresis = 15°C) the soft -start circuitry is re -activated, VOUT rises smoothly, and normal operation resumes.

KG –Datasheet 1.0 © February 2018 33/49 DETERMINE POWER LOSSES AND THERMAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE BOARD This section provides an example of estimation of power losses and definition of the thermal performance of the board. As a starting point, the following application conditions can be considered: VIN=12V, VOUT=3.3V, IOUT=3A, TA(MAX) =85 C and TJ(MAX)=125 C where T A is the maximum air temperature surrounding the module and TJ(MAX) is the maximum value of the junction temperature according to the limits in the “OPERATING CONDITIONS” section on page 4. The goal of the calculation is to determine the junction to ambient thermal resistance ( θJA) that can be used to define the characteristics of the PCB on which the device will be mounted. The basic formula for calculating the operating junction temperature TJ of a semiconductor device is as follows: TJ = PLOSS_TOT ∙ θJA + TA (13) PLOSS_TOT are the total power losses within the module and are rela ted to the operating conditions and ƟJA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance, defined as: θJA = θJC + θCA (14) where ƟJC is the junction to case thermal resistance and ƟCA is the case to ambient thermal resistance. From equation (13) the target junction to ambient thermal resistance can be derived: θJA(MAX) < TJ(MAX)-TA(MAX) PLOSS_TOT (15) From the power dissipation´s diagram on page 10 (here below reported) a power loss of 2.35W is read. 0,0 0,5 1,0 1,5 2,0 2,5 3,0 Power Dissipation [W] Output Current [A] Vout = 5V Vout = 3.3V Vout = 2.5V Vout = 1.8V 2.35W

KG –Datasheet 1.0 © February 2018 36/49 LAYOUT RECOMMENDATION PCB 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 si gnals to the DC -DC converter resulting in poor regulation or instability. A g ood layout can be implemented by following simple design rules. Due to t he integration of both the input and the output capacitor s the user does not need to take care anymore of the switched current loops. The most critical paths, due to discontinuous current flows, are within the module and are already optimized in terms of EMI.
