3 Description
The LMR34215-Q1 regulator is an easy-to-use,
synchronous, step-down DC/DC converter. With
integrated high-side and low-side power MOSFETs,
output current is delivered over a wide input voltage
range of 4.2 V to 42 V.
The LMR34215-Q1 uses peak-current-mode control
to provide optimal efficiency and output voltage
accuracy. Precision enable gives flexibility by enabling
a direct connection to the wide input voltage or
precise control over device start-up and shutdown.
The power-good flag, with built-in filtering and delay,
offers a true indication of system status eliminating
the requirement for an external supervisor.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The LMR34215-Q1 is a synchronous peak-current-mode buck regulator designed for a wide variety of
applications. The regulator automatically switches modes between PFM and PWM, depending on load. At heavy
loads, the device operates in PWM at a constant switching frequency. At light loads, the mode changes to
PFMW with diode emulation allowing DCM. This reduces the input supply current and keeps efficiency high. The
device features internal loop compensation which reduces design time and requires fewer external components
than externally compensated regulators.
The LMR34215-Q1 is designed with a flip-chip or HotRod technology, greatly reducing the parasitic inductance
of pins. In addition, the layout of the device allows for reduction in the radiated noise generated by the switching
action through partial cancellation of the current generated magnetic field. As a result, the switch-node waveform
exhibits less overshoot and ringing.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Power-Good Flag Output
The power-good flag function (PG output pin) of the LMR34215-Q1 can be used to reset a system
microprocessor whenever the output voltage is out of regulation. This open-drain output goes low under fault
conditions, such as current limit and thermal shutdown, as well as during normal start-up. A glitch filter prevents
false flag operation for short excursions of the output voltage, such as during line and load transients. Output
voltage excursions lasting less than t PG do not trip the power-good flag. Power-good operation can best be
understood by reference to Figure 8-2 and Figure 8-3. Note that during initial power-up, a delay of about 4 ms
(typical) is inserted from the time that EN is asserted to the time that the power-good flag goes high. This delay
only occurs during start-up and is not encountered during normal operation of the power-good function.
The power-good output consists of an open-drain NMOS, requiring an external pullup resistor to a suitable logic
supply. It can also be pulled up to either VCC or V OUT through an appropriate resistor as desired. If this function
is not needed, the PG pin must be grounded. When EN is pulled low, the flag output is also forced low. With EN
low, power good remains valid as long as the input voltage is ≥ 2 V (typical). Limit the current into this pin to ≤ 4
mA.
