AOZ5276QI
High-Current, High-Performance
Smart Power Stage
General Description
Features
The AOZ5276QI is a general-purpose Smart Power
Stage (SPS) consisting of two asymmetrical MOSFETs
and an integrated driver for high current, high frequency
DC-DC converters.
3V to 20V power supply range
30V HS MOSFET provides better system ruggedness
90A continuous output current
– Up to 100A for 10ms on pulse
– Up to 150A for 10µs on pulse
The AOZ5276QI provides an output voltage signal
(IMON), which represents the real-time module current
with a gain of 5mV/A. The IMON signal can be directly
used to replace inductor DCR sensing or resistor sensing
in multiphase voltage regulator systems without the need
for temperature compensation.
Optimized for switching frequency up to 1MHz
Integrated current monitor (5mV/A) with 5% accuracy
over temperature
Integrated temperature monitor (8mV/°C) with 2%
accuracy
The AOZ5276QI also includes an accurate module
temperature monitor (TMON). TMON is a voltage
sourced signal with a gain of 8mV/°C.
Fault Indicator
Under-Voltage LockOut (UVLO) on VCC
Under-Voltage LockOut (UVLO) on VIN
The MOSFETs are individually optimized for operation in
the synchronous buck configuration. The High-Side (HS)
MOSFET is optimized to achieve low capacitance and
gate charge for fast switching with low duty cycle
operation. The Low-Side (LS) MOSFET has ultra-low ON
resistance to minimize conduction loss. The standard
5mm x 6mm QFN package is optimally designed to
minimize parasitic inductance for minimal EMI signature.

Low-Side MOSFET Gate connection. This is for test purposes only.
Power stage High Voltage Input (Drain connection of High-Side MOSFET).
Output enable pin. When this pin is pulled to a logic low level, the IC disables most blocks.
EN=HIGH enables all blocks inside IC and requires 4µs power up time.
TMON/FLT
Temperature Monitor and Fault Flag Pin. TMON/FLT will be pulled HI (~ 3.3 V) or LOW (0V) to
indicate a fault condition (see Table 5). For multi-phase application, the TMON/FLT pin can be
connected together as a common bus. The highest voltage representing the highest
temperature among all phases will be sent to the PWM controller. No more than 470pF total
capacitance can be directly connected across TMON/FLT and AGND (Pin 2). A higher
capacitance load is allowed with a series resistor (~ 1kΩ) for up to 1nF. At 0°C and in normal
operation, the output voltage is 0.6V with a temperature coefficient value of 8mV/°C. There is
an internal pull up source to 3.3V when a fault condition occurs.
OCSET/ZCD
Setting control for OCP limit threshold and Zero Cross Detect function (ZCD). OCP limit
threshold is detected and latched 120µs after device enabled. Refer to Table 3 for the resistor
value for each current limit threshold level. After 120µs, the OCP limit is set and this pin
becomes ZCD control only. ZCD is active when this pin is floating or pulled HI.
IMON
Current Monitor output signal referenced to REFIN (Pin 39). Connect the IMON output to the
appropriate Current Sense input of the controller. No more than 47pF capacitance can be
directly connected across IMON and REFIN pins. With a 100Ω series resistor, up to 470pF
may be used.
REFIN
Input for external reference voltage for IMON (Pin 38). This voltage should be between 0.7 V
and 2.0V. Nominal value is 1.2V. Place a low ESR ceramic capacitor (~ 0.1µF) from this pin to
AGND (Pin 2). Connect REFIN to the appropriate Current Sense Reference output from the
controller.

AOZ5276QI
Application Information
Power-On Reset (POR)
AOZ5276QI is a fully integrated smart power module
designed to work over an input voltage range of 3V to
20V with 5V supplies for gate drive and internal control
circuits.This smart power stage module features accurate
current monitoring (IMON) which provides both HighSide and Low-Side MOSFET current information in both
constant current and diode emulated mode operation. It
also features temperature monitoring (TMON) which
provides continuous thermal reading of the module
temperature. Additional features such as, Power Input
(VIN) Under-Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO), Control Circuit
Input Voltage (VCC) UVLO, and light load efficiency
control. A bootstrap capacitor "auto-refresh" feature
ensures the boot capacitor is sufficiently charged before
the High-Side MOSFET is being turned on.
During initial start-up, both VCC and VIN voltage rise is
monitored. Once the rising VCC voltage exceeds 3.8V
(VCC_UVLO) and VIN voltage exceeds 2.4V (VIN_UVLO)
for 120µs, normal operation of the driver is enabled. The
PVCC voltage is not being monitored as it should be
connected to VCC. Both VCC and VIN POR are gated to
the TMON/FLT pin, which resumes normal TMON
operation 120µs after both VCC and VIN are above their
POR levels and no other faults occur. For UVLO function
detail, see Table 5.
The High-Side and Low-Side MOSFETs are combined
into a single package with the pin configuration optimized
for power routing with minimum parasitic inductance. The
MOSFETs are individually tailored for efficient operation
in low duty cycle synchronous buck converter
applications. In addition, a high current driver is also
included in the package to minimize the gate drive loop
delay resulting in extremely fast switching.
Powering the Module and the Gate Drives
An external 5V supply (PVCC) is required for driving the
MOSFETs. The MOSFETs are designed with low gate
thresholds so that lower drive voltage can be used to
reduce the switching and drive losses without
compromising the conduction losses. The integrated
gate driver is capable of supplying high peak current into
the gate of Low-Side MOSFET to achieve extremely fast
switching. A ceramic bypass capacitor of 1µF or higher is
recommended from PVCC to PGND. For effective
filtering it is strongly recommended to have a direct
connection from this capacitor to PGND.
The bootstrap supply for driving the High-Side MOSFET
is generated by connecting a small capacitor between
BOOT pin and the switching node (PHASE). It is
recommended that this capacitor Cboot should be
connected as close as possible to the device across
PHASE (Pin 32) and BOOT (Pin 33). Pin 31 (PHASE)
connection is optional as Pin 32 connection is sufficient.
Rboot is an optional external resistor that can be used by
designers to slow down the turn-on speed of the HighSide MOSFET. Selecting the Rboot value is a
compromise between switching speed and the amplitude
of power switching node (VSWH) voltage spikes. Typical
values of Rboot are between 1Ω and 5Ω.
Rev.1.0 February 2022
The AOZ5276QI must be powered up before the PWM
input is applied. During start-up it is necessary for the
PWM signal to go through a proper soft start sequence to
minimize inrush current in the converter. Powering the
module with a full duty cycle PWM signal applied may
lead to a number of undesirable consequences.
PWM Input
The AOZ5276QI is compatible with 3.3V PWM input
logic and supports Tri-State PWM. When the input is high
impedance or left open, both the gate drive outputs will
be turned off and the Low-Side and High-Side gates are
actively held low. The PWM Threshold in Table 1 lists the
thresholds for high-level and low-level logic, as well as
Tri-State operation.

remains in the tri-state window for a set hold-off time
(tTSSHD), the driver will force both MOSFETs to their off
state. When the PWM signal moves outside the tri-state
window, the driver immediately resumes operation and
drives the MOSFETs according to the PWM input.
This feature allows the controller to use PWM as a
method of forcing both MOSFETs to be off. For the
condition that the PWM input is floating, the pin will be
pulled into the Tri-State Clamp Voltage (VPWM_FLOAT)
internally, thus forcing both MOSFETs to a safe off state.
Table 2 shows the logic truth table for PWM and EN
inputs.

Current Monitoring (IMON)
An accurate Current Sense Amplifier monitors the
current through the Low-Side MOSFET. A voltage signal
proportional to that current appears at the IMON (Pin 38),
relative to REFIN (Pin 39), with current sense gain of
5mV/A. Both IMON and REFIN should be connected to
the appropriate current sense inputs of the controller.
This IMON signal effectively eliminates the needs of
using external sense resistor or inductor DCR sensing.
AOZ5276QI monitors its internal temperature and
provides a signal proportional to that temperature on the
TMON/FLT pin. TMON/FLT has a voltage of 600mV at
0°C and temperature gain of 8mV/°C (ATMON_SLP).
Figure 10 shows a simplified functional representation.
The top section represents the protection fault that will
pull the output high. The mid-section shows the symbolic
sensor and the output buffer. The bottom section will set
the initial state of TMON/FLT before the module is active.
The TMON/FLT pin is configured internally such that a
user can tie multiple pins together externally and the
resulting TMON/FLT bus will assume the voltage of the
highest
contributor
(representing
the
highest
temperature).

PWM
Zero Cross Detect (ZCD)
OCSET/ZCD pin controls the functions of ZCD. When
OCSET/ZCD pin is left open or pulled up, ZCD function is
being enabled.
ZCD will detect the valley current when Low-Side
MOSFET is on. If the current is less than 2A (IZCD_OFS),
the MOSFET will be turned off independent of PWM logic
level. This is an automatic light load mechanism and
suitable for most analog PWM controllers.

Negative Current Protection (NCP)
OCSET/ZCD pin also controls the function of NCP. When
OCP threshold is set to any level with a resistor from
OCSET/ZCD to AGND, NCP function becomes active.

For NCP function, the MOSFET will be turned off
independent of PWM logic level if the current is less than
-60 A (INEG_OCP). This is to protect the Low-Side
MOSFET recovering from very high negative current.
NCP will be released when negative current is less than
50A.
See Table 5 for details of NCP function.

Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
High-Side Short Detect (HSD)
If the internal temperature exceeds the OverTemperature threshold (TOTP), the TMON/FLT (Pin 36) is
pulled to 3.3V after 100ns (tTMON/FLT) delay. Both HighSide and Low-Side MOSFETs are turned off under OTP
condition. The TMON/FLT will remain in the fault mode
until the junction temperature drops below the hysteresis
threshold (TOTP_HYST). At that point, the TMON/FLT and
IMON pins resume normal operation. See Table 5 for
OTP function detail.
When Low-Side MOSFET is on, the voltage across the
High-Side MOSFET is monitored. A High-Side short
condition is detected if the voltage is higher than the HSD
threshold. The TMON/FLT pin will be pulled high to
indicate a fault condition. The power module will not
change the High-Side and Low-Side MOSFET status
until the fault condition is released by power cycling.
Over Current Protection (OCP)
An Over Current Production (OCP) fault is detected
when the current running through the power stage
exceeds 120A (ILIM_DEF). The OCP level can be set by
using external resistor at OCSET/ZCD (Pin 37). During
the initial 120µs (tOCP_SETUP) after the part is enabled,
the resistor value is detected and latched within the
system to store the OCP threshold level. After OCP level
is latched, the OCSET/ZCD pin will function as ZCD/
NCP control only. If the OCP event is trigged 9 times
(NOC_COUNT) consecutively, TMON/FLT (Pin 36) will be
internally pulled to 3.3V to indicate a fault condition.
The FAULT flag will be released by a power reset or the
output current is 10A less than the OCP threshold. For
OCP function detail, refer to Table 5.
OCSET/ZCD pin control 3 functions:
1. Zero Cross Detect (ZCD)
2. Negative Current Protection (NCP)
