3 Description
The LMR36015S regulator is an easy-to-use,
synchronous, step-down DC/DC converter. With
integrated high-side and low-side power MOSFETs,
up to 1.5 A of output current is delivered over a wide
input voltage range of 4.2 V to 60 V. Tolerance goes
up to 66 V. The transient tolerance reduces the
necessary design effort to protect against
overvoltages and meets the surge immunity
requirements of IEC 61000-4-5.
The LMR36015S uses peak-current-mode control to
provide optimal efficiency and output voltage
accuracy. Load transient performance is improved
with FPWM feature in the 1-MHz regulator. 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.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The LMR36015S is a synchronous peak-current-mode buck regulator designed for a wide variety of industrial
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 PFM
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 LMR36015S 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.

9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 Power-Good Flag Output
The power-good flag function (PG output pin) of the LMR36015S 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 tPG do not trip the power-good flag. Power-good operation can best be understood by reference
to Figure 9-2 and Figure 9-3. 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 VOUT 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.

100 kΩ are used. Large values of
RFBT, in combination with the parasitic capacitance at the FB pin, can create a small signal pole that interferes
with the loop stability. A CFF can help to mitigate this effect. Equation 9 can be used to estimate the value of CFF.
The value found with Equation 9 is a starting point; use lower values to determine if any advantage is gained by
the use of a CFF capacitor. The Optimizing Transient Response of Internally Compensated DC-DC Converters

10.2.1.2.9.1 External UVLO
In some cases, an input UVLO level different than that provided internal to the device is needed. This can be
accomplished by using the circuit shown in Figure 10-2 can be used. The input voltage at which the device turns
on is designated VON while the turnoff voltage is VOFF. First, a value for RENB is chosen in the range of 10 kΩ to
100 kΩ and then Equation 10 is used to calculate RENT and VOFF.

10.2.1.2.10 Maximum Ambient Temperature
As with any power conversion device, the LMR36015S dissipates internal power while operating. The effect of
this power dissipation is to raise the internal temperature of the converter above ambient. The internal die
temperature (TJ) is a function of the ambient temperature, the power loss and the effective thermal resistance,
RθJA of the device, and PCB combination. The maximum internal die temperature for the LMR36015S must be
limited to 150°C. This establishes a limit on the maximum device power dissipation and, therefore, the load
current. Equation 11 shows the relationships between the important parameters. It is easy to see that larger
ambient temperatures (TA) and larger values of RθJA reduce the maximum available output current. The
converter efficiency can be estimated by using the curves provided in this data sheet. If the desired operating
conditions cannot be found in one of the curves, then interpolation can be used to estimate the efficiency.
Alternatively, the EVM can be adjusted to match the desired application requirements and the efficiency can be
measured directly. The correct value of RθJA is more difficult to estimate. As stated in the Semiconductor and IC
Package Thermal Metrics Application Report, the values given in Section 8.4 are not valid for design purposes
and must not be used to estimate the thermal performance of the application. The values reported in that table
were measured under a specific set of conditions that are rarely obtained in an actual application.

The effective RθJA is a critical parameter and depends on many factors such as power dissipation, air
temperature/flow, PCB area, copper heat-sink area, number of thermal vias under the package, and adjacent
component placement, to mention just a few. Due to the ultra-miniature size of the VQFN (RNX) package, a DAP
is not available. This means that this package exhibits a somewhat greater RθJA. A typical example of RθJA
versus copper board area can be found in Figure 10-3. Note that the data given in this graph is for illustration

above.

11 Power Supply Recommendations
The characteristics of the input supply must be compatible with Section 8 found in this data sheet. In addition,
the input supply must be capable of delivering the required input current to the loaded regulator. The average
input current can be estimated with Equation 12.
IIN
VOUT ˜ IOUT
VIN ˜ K
(12)
where
•
η is the efficiency
If the regulator is connected to the input supply through long wires or PCB traces, special care is required to
achieve good performance. The parasitic inductance and resistance of the input cables can have an adverse
effect on the operation of the regulator. The parasitic inductance, in combination with the low-ESR, ceramic input
capacitors, can form an underdamped resonant circuit, resulting in overvoltage transients at the input to the
regulator. The parasitic resistance can cause the voltage at the VIN pin to dip whenever a load transient is
applied to the output. If the application is operating close to the minimum input voltage, this dip can cause the
regulator to momentarily shutdown, reset, or both. The best way to solve these kind of issues is to reduce the
distance from the input supply to the regulator, use an aluminum or tantalum input capacitor in parallel with the
ceramics, or both. The moderate ESR of these types of capacitors help to damp the input resonant circuit and
reduce any overshoots. A value in the range of 20 µF to 100 µF is usually sufficient to provide input damping and
help to hold the input voltage steady during large load transients.
Sometimes, for other system considerations, an input filter is used in front of the regulator. This can lead to
instability, as well as some of the effects mentioned above, unless it is designed carefully. The AN-2162 Simple
Success With Conducted EMI From DCDC Converters User's Guide provides helpful suggestions when
designing an input filter for any switching regulator.
In some cases, a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) is used on the input of regulators. One class of this device
has a snap-back characteristic (thyristor type). The use of a device with this type of characteristic is not
recommended. When the TVS fires, the clamping voltage falls to a very low value. If this voltage is less than the
output voltage of the regulator, the output capacitors discharge through the device back to the input. This
uncontrolled current flow can damage the device.

12 Layout
12.1 Layout Guidelines
The PCB layout of any DC/DC converter is critical to the optimal performance of the design. Poor PCB layout
can disrupt the operation of an otherwise good schematic design. Even if the converter regulates correctly, bad
PCB layout can mean the difference between a robust design and one that cannot be mass produced.
Furthermore, to a great extent, the EMI performance of the regulator is dependent on the PCB layout. In a buck
converter, the most critical PCB feature is the loop formed by the input capacitor or capacitors and power
ground, as shown in Figure 12-1. This loop carries large transient currents that can cause large transient
voltages when reacting with the trace inductance. These unwanted transient voltages disrupt the proper
operation of the converter. Because of this, the traces in this loop must be wide and short, and the loop area as
small as possible to reduce the parasitic inductance. Figure 12-2 shows a recommended layout for the critical
components of the LMR36015S.
1. Place the input capacitor or capacitors as close as possible to the VIN and GND terminals. VIN and GND
pins are adjacent, simplifying the input capacitor placement.
2. Place bypass capacitor for VCC close to the VCC pin. This capacitor must be placed close to the device and
routed with short, wide traces to the VCC and GND pins.
3. Use wide traces for the CBOOT capacitor. Place CBOOT close to the device with short/wide traces to the BOOT
and SW pins. Route the SW pin to the N/C pin and used to connect the BOOT capacitor to SW.
4. Place the feedback divider as close as possible to the FB pin of the device. Place RFBB, RFBT, and CFF, if
used, physically close to the device. The connections to FB and GND must be short and close to those pins
on the device. The connection to VOUT can be somewhat longer. However, this latter trace must not be routed
near any noise source (such as the SW node) that can capacitively couple into the feedback path of the
regulator.
5. Use at least one ground plane in one of the middle layers. This plane acts as a noise shield and also act as a
heat dissipation path.
6. Provide wide paths for VIN, VOUT, and GND. Making these paths as wide and direct as possible reduces any
voltage drops on the input or output paths of the converter and maximizes efficiency.
7. Provide enough PCB area for proper heat-sinking. As stated in Section 10.2.1.2.10, enough copper area
must be used to ensure a low RθJA, commensurate with the maximum load current and ambient temperature.
The top and bottom PCB layers must be made with two ounce copper; and no less than one ounce. If the
PCB design uses multiple copper layers (recommended), these thermal vias can also be connected to the
inner layer heat-spreading ground planes.
8. Keep switch area small. Keep the copper area connecting the SW pin to the inductor as short and wide as
possible. At the same time the total area of this node must be minimized to help reduce radiated EMI.

Figure 12-1. Current Loops with Fast Edges
12.1.1 Ground and Thermal Considerations
As previously mentioned, TI recommends using one of the middle layers as a solid ground plane. A ground
plane provides shielding for sensitive circuits and traces as well as a quiet reference potential for the control
circuitry. Connect the AGND and PGND pins to the ground planes using vias next to the bypass capacitors.
PGND pins are connected directly to the source of the low-side MOSFET switch and also connected directly to
the grounds of the input and output capacitors. The PGND net contains noise at the switching frequency and can
bounce due to load variations. The PGND trace, as well as the VIN and SW traces, must be constrained to one
side of the ground planes. The other side of the ground plane contains much less noise; use for sensitive routes.
Use as much copper as possible, for system ground plane, on the top and bottom layers for the best heat
dissipation. Use a four-layer board with the copper thickness for the four layers, starting from the top as: 2 oz / 1
oz / 1 oz / 2 oz. A four-layer board with enough copper thickness, and proper layout, provides low current
conduction impedance, proper shielding, and lower thermal resistance.
