Introduction
This application report describes the various functions of the LM10011 evaluation module, how to test and
evaluate it, and how to use the GUI design tool to change the components for a specific application.
Please check the LM10011 GUI Installer (SNVC071) for the latest software and the 6/4-Bit VID
Programmable Current DAC for Point of Load Regulators with Adjustable Start-Up Current (SNVS822).
For more information on the LM21215A-1 and its operation, please check the LM21215A-1 15A High
Efficiency Synchronous Buck Regulator with Frequency Synchronization (SNOSB87) and the AN-2131
LM21215A-1 Evaluation Board User's Guide (SNVA477).
The LM10011 is a precision, digitally programmable device used to control the output voltage of a DC/DC
converter. The LM10011 outputs a DC current proportional to a 6-bit or 4-bit input word. The current DAC
output is intended to connect to the feedback node of a buck converter in order to adjust the converter
output voltage to a desired range and resolution. As the 6-bit or 4-bit word counts up, the output voltage is
adjusted higher based on the setting of the feedback resistors in the buck converter.
The LM10011 evaluation module provides the power design engineer with a low voltage high current
point-of-load solution with an adjustable output voltage using the LM10011 VID controlled current DAC, an
LM21215A-1 15A integrated buck regulator, and a companion GUI software. The GUI software along with
included hardware are used to assist in the design and understanding of how to implement the LM10011.
The GUI can be used to change the output voltage of the on-board POL based on direct user input. It is
also able to assist the power designer in selecting the correct external components needed for any given
application.

Evaluation Module Introduction
The evaluation module provides a VID interface to test the LM10011 and its control of an LM21215A-1
buck regulator. The LM21215A-1 is capable of driving up to 15A of continuous load current with excellent
output voltage accuracy due to its ±1% internal voltage reference and high gain error amplifier. The
LM21215A-1 also features a clock synchronization input (SYNC), precision enable pin (ENABLE), a power
good output (PGOOD), and a soft-start and track pin (SS_TRK) (as labeled on the PCB). The input
voltage can be operated from 2.97V to 5.5V. On power-up, the output voltage defaults to 0.9V. The
evaluation board allows for control of the LM21215A-1 output voltage from 0.7V to 1.1V in 6.4mV steps
through the 4-pin VID interface of the LM10011. A 10-pin header is included to communicate with the
LM10011. A USB communications dongle is provided along with software to control the output voltage
through a graphical user interface (GUI) and a USB port.

Theory of Operation
The LM10011 can be thought of as a D/A converter, converting the VID codes to analog outputs. In this
device, the output is a current DAC (IDAC_OUT), which is connected to the feedback node of a slave
regulator. Therefore, all VID data words are decoded into a 6-bit current DAC output. The impedance of
the feedback node at DC appears as the top feedback resistor. This is because the control loop of the
slave regulator effectively maintains a constant current and voltage through and across the bottom
feedback resistor. Therefore, as more current is sourced into the feedback node, less current is needed
from RFB1 and the output voltage is reduced. See Figure 2.

Figure 2. Current Injection into the Feedback Node
Looking at Figure 2, the following equation defines VOUT for a given regulator
(valid for VOUT > VFB, VFB = voltage at FB pin):
VOUT = VFB x 1+ RFB1 - IDAC_OUT x RFB1
RFB2
(1)
For the LM21215A-1, VFB is 600mV. For the LM10011, the IDAC_OUT maximum current is 59.2µA, with
64 settings at a resolution of 940nA, adjustable with the 6-bit VID word. Note that as the VID codes count
up, the output current (IDAC_OUT) counts down starting from the highest current. This allows for VOUT to
increment up with the VID code. For a more in-depth analysis of the circuit, see the LM10011 datasheet.
Table 1 shows the codes and some of the resultant values of IDAC_OUT current and corresponding
regulator output voltage for the default resistor values on the evaluation board.

Power-Up Procedures
CAUTION
Read the entire power-up procedures prior to applying power to the evaluation
board.
The LM10011 evaluation kit hardware is shown in Figure 3. The board offers a connection for the system
input voltage on the left side and a connection for the load on the bottom. To the right of the LM10011
evaluation module is a communications dongle. It is connected to the board through the 10 pin right angle
header and is used to communicate with the LM10011. A USB cable connects the dongle to a USB port
on the computer for software control.
Figure 3. LM10011 Evaluation Kit Hardware
6.1
Quick Setup Procedure
Step 1:Before connecting the input power supply, set the output of the power supply to current limit at 10A
and output voltage two any voltage between 2.97V and 5.5V. Disable the power supply output. Connect
the positive output (+) of the power supply to VIN and the negative output (-) to the corresponding GND.
Be sure to disable the output of the power supply before connecting it to the evaluation board.
Minimize the inductance between the power supply and the evaluation board to mitigate any
voltage spikes that may occur.
Step 2: Connect the load (with 15A capability) positive (+) input to VOUT and negative (-) input to the
corresponding GND on the evaluation board.
Step 3: The ENABLE pin should be left open for normal operation.
Step 4: Activate the output of the power supply. The load voltage should be in regulation with a nominal
0.9V output.
Step 5: Slowly increase the load while monitoring the load voltage at VOUT SENSE. It should remain in
regulation with a nominal 0.9V output as the load is increased up to 15A.
Step 6: Slowly sweep the input source voltage from 2.97V to 5.5V (DO NOT EXCEED 5.5V). The load
voltage should remain in regulation with a nominal 0.9V output. If desired, the output of the device can be
disabled by connecting the ENABLE pin to GND.
Step 7: The LM21215A-1 switching frequency can be varied by connecting a 2.0V clock signal between
SYNC and GND.

Over-Current Protection
The evaluation board is configured with over-current protection. This function is completely contained in
the LM21215A-1. The peak current is limited to approximately 17A.
6.3
Quick Setup for Software Control
Once the LM10011 evaluation board is setup and the LM21215A-1 is determined to be correctly regulating
the output voltage, the software can be installed and communication can then be established with the
LM10011. In the evaluation board kit, there should be a CD with all the necessary executable files to
install the LM10011 GUI. If there is no CD, the software can be found in the LM10011 GUI Installer
(SNVC071).
The installation files should be executed on a PC running Windows XP or later.

Connection Descriptions
Terminal Silkscreen
Description
VIN
This terminal is the input voltage to the evaluation board. The evaluation board will operate over the
input voltage range of 2.97V to 5.5V.
GND
These terminals are the ground connections to the device. The input power ground should be connected
next to the input VIN connection, and the output power ground next to the VOUT connection.
VOUT
This terminal connects to the output voltage of the power supply and should be connected to the load.
ENABLE
This terminal connects to the enable pin of the LM21215A-1. ENABLE can be left floating or driven
externally. If left floating, a 2 µA current source will pull the pin high, thereby enabling the device. If
driven externally, a voltage typically less than 1.24V will disable the LM21215A-1 and above 1.35V will
enable the LM21215A-1.
SS/TRK
This terminal provides access to the SS/TRK pin of the LM21215A-1. Connections to SS/TRK are not
needed for most applications. The feedback pin of the device will track the voltage on the SS/TRK pin if
it is driven with an external voltage source that is below the 0.6V reference.
PGOOD
This terminal connects to the power good output of the LM21215A-1. This pin is pulled up through a
10kΩ pull-up resistor to VIN.
AC INJ
This terminal block allows the user to insert an AC injection signal across a 49.9Ω resistor for open loop
gain bode measurements. A jumper shorts this resistor when it is not needed.
SWITCH
SYNC
VIN_SENSE+,
VIN_SENSE-,
VOUT_SENSE+,
VOUT_SENSE-
This terminal allows easy probing of the switch node. Do not apply any external voltage source to this
pin.
This terminal connects to the SYNC pin of the LM21215A-1. The regulator can synchronize the SWITCH
pin to a SYNC signal with a frequency between 300kHz and 1.5MHz. If this pin is left open, the switching
frequency will default to 500kHz.
These terminals allow a sense connection on the board for accurate VIN and VOUT measurements,
respectively.
IDAC
This terminal connects to the LM10011 IDAC output (IDAC_OUT).
PEN
This terminal connects to the enable (EN) pin of the LM10011. EN can be left floating or driven
externally. If left floating, a 2µA current source will pull the LM10011 EN pin high, thereby enabling the
LM10011. If driven externally, a voltage typically less than 1.24V will disable the LM10011 and above
1.34V will enable the LM10011.
FB
This jumper connects the LM10011 output to the feedback node of the LM21215A-1. If the LM10011 is
used to control the output voltage, then this jumper is required. If the LM10011 is to be evaluated alone,
then the IDAC_OUT current can be observed at the IDAC connection by removing the jumper.
J1
This terminal block is used to connect the LM10011 evaluation board with the communications dongle.
JP1
This terminal block controls the source of power for the LM10011. If a jumper is connected between pins
1 and 2, then the LM10011 supply comes from PVIN. If the jumper is connected from pins 2 and 3, then
the LM10011 derives power from an external connection to VDD.
JP2
This terminal block controls the mode of the LM10011. To put the LM10011 into 4-Bit mode, set the
terminal block to VDD. For 6-Bit mode, set the terminal block to GND.
VDD
This terminal can be used as an alternate power source for the LM10011 though terminal block JP1.

Evaluation Board
The evaluation board shows how the LM10011 is used to control the LM21215A-1. However, the
LM10011 can operate independently without the LM21215A-1 by jumpering pins 2 and 3 on JP1 and
applying the supply voltage through the VDD test point. The IDAC_OUT output current can be observed at
the IDAC test point with the jumper removed from FB.
Additionally, the output voltage range of the evaluation board can be adjusted by replacing the RFB1 and
RFB2 feedback resistors on the board. However , a change in the feedback resistors may change the
compensation network for the LM21215A-1 and this may require adjustments in values for CC1, CC2, CC3,
RC1, and RC2. For further guidance with component selection, please see the LM21215A-1 datasheet and
evaluation board user's guide.

LM10011 Control and Design Software
The LM10011 evaluation board comes with a communications dongle and software to control the output
voltage (software can also be found on the LM10011 Texas Instruments Product Folder online). This
section describes software features and modes of operation. The software has a built-in calculator to
determine the feedback resistor values for a given range and resolution of operation. This is only used
when the user decides to remove the existing default resistor feedback values and determines the
LM21215A-1's compensation is correct for the new feedback resistors. The default or updated values are
used to calculate expected output voltages of the point of load regulator. After installing the Texas
Instruments VID GUI, open it by going to Start>Programs>Texas Instruments LM1001X_GUI-0.8.1-xxxxxxxx>LM1001X_GUI. Figure 4 shows the initial screen.

inputs in the Initial Setup section.
• Output Voltage: Use the Output Voltage section to change the nominal output voltage directly.
• Margin Control: The user can set the exact margining value in the Margin Control section. The user
can then use the "Margin Up' and "Margin Down" buttons to adjust the output voltage up or down
depending on the value in the Margin Desired box. The percent of margining is based on the value in
the Nom Vout (Actual) box in the Output Voltage section.

Select VID Operating Mode
When the user first starts the GUI, the software assumes the LM10011 evaluation board is in 6-Bit mode.
The software and hardware must both be operating in the same mode for the GUI to properly
communicate to the evaluation board. The evaluation board has a "MODE" jumper that must be set to the
correct mode before powering the board. The software has a "Select VID Operating Mode" section,
Figure 8, with a listbox giving the user the option to select between 4-Bit communication and 6-Bit

Initial Setup
The Initial Setup section, Figure 9, allows the user to enter the design inputs based on the application
requirements of the VID enabled POL. The default values in this section represent the values used on the
evaluation module.
The inputs include any box with spin buttons (indicated by up and down arrows) . Boxes without spin
buttons are design outputs.
When starting a design, the user must input the nominal feedback voltage of the POL in use in the VFB
POL box. In the case of the LM21215A-1, this is 0.600V. The desired maximum and minimum output
voltage is entered into the VOUT MAX and VOUT MIN boxes respectively. Doing this sets the effective
VID range were each step resolution is defined in the VOUT Resolution box. To set a nominal start-up
voltage, select an IDAC_OUT current from the available currents in the IDAC at Startup list box. The Vout
at Start-up box will display what the corresponding start-up voltage is.

Resistor and Vout Values (Calculated)
The components listed in the Resistor and Vout Values section, Figure 10, are calculated by the inputs in
the Initial Setup section. The Resistor and Vout Values section will provide the user with the standard
components needed to make a working design. The component designators are reflected in the schematic
to the right of this section.
The first component in the Resistor and Vout Values section is the RSET resistor. This resistor is chosen
based on the input in the IDAC at Startup box. This resistor will match the resistors listed in the electrical
characteristics table in the LM10011 datasheet.
The feedback resistors RFB1 and RFB2 are calculated based on the VOUT MIN and VOUT MAX range
set in the Initial Setup section. The values in the RFB1 and RFB2 spin boxes represent calculated
theoretical values and can be changed manually at the users discretion if needed. The RFB1 and RFB2
(Nearest 1%) values represent standard E96 1% resistor values available on the market.
Using the nearest 1% RFB1 and RFB2 resistor values, the actual VOUT MIN and VOUT MAX along with
the VOUT resolution and initial startup voltage is calculated. This gives the user a more realistic preview of
what they can expect to see at the output of the POL under VID control using standard size resistors.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
