SWITCHER® Power Module Quick Start Guide

Introduction
The LMZ10503/4 SIMPLE SWITCHER power module is a complete, easy-to-use DC-DC solution capable
of driving up to a 4A load with exceptional power conversion efficiency, output voltage accuracy, line and
load regulation. The LMZ10503/4 is available in an innovative package that enhances thermal
performance and allows for hand or machine soldering.
The LMZ10503/4 can accept an input voltage rail between 2.95V and 5.5V and deliver an adjustable and
highly accurate output voltage as low as 0.8V. One megahertz fixed frequency PWM switching provides a
predictable EMI characteristic. Two external compensation components can be adjusted to set the fastest
response time, while allowing the option to use ceramic and/or electrolytic output capacitors. Externally
programmable soft-start capacitor facilitates controlled startup. The LMZ10503/4 is a reliable and robust
solution with the following features: lossless cycle-by-cycle peak current limit to protect for over current or
short-circuit fault, thermal shutdown, input under-voltage lock-out, and pre-biased startup.

Demo Board Hookup
VOUT Connect the load to VOUT and one of the GND posts. The module can source up to a 3A or 4A
load current, depending on the module installed.
VIN Connect VIN to a positive voltage in the 2.95 to 5.5V range. Connect the negative terminal of the
source supply to one of the posts labeled GND.
EN The enable is configured with a 100 kΩ pull up resistor, which enables the LMZ10503/4, but also
allows the user to disable the LMZ10503/4, by pulling low on the EN post.
Quiescent current If the enable post is pulled low, the module will be disabled and about 260 µA of
supply current will flow into VIN (pin 1). To enable the device, leave the enable post open, there will be
approximately 12 mA of no-load quiescent current into the VIN post. (VIN to ground voltage at the post set
to 3.3V).

Demo Board Passive Components
Soft-start capacitor The soft-start capacitor controls the rise time of the output voltage when power is
first applied and following the clearing of a fault mode.
Feedback divider Regulator output voltage is programmed though the selection of the two resistors, Rfbb
and Rfbt. Ccomp Rcomp is located in parallel with the upper feedback divider resistor, Rfbt. These components
adjust the control loop and will improve the step response to abrupt changes in load current and input
voltage.
Output Capacitor Parallel connections of two 47 µF 6.3V multilayer ceramic are used for the output
capacitor.
Input Capacitor A 47 µF 16V multilayer ceramic (Cin1) supplies the fast switching current generated from
the quick rise time of the internal MOSFET. Cin1 is also the energy reservoir for the input line. Additionally,
Cin2 is not installed, but is a placeholder for an aluminum capacitor to reduce the resonance of the input
line produced by the inductance and resistance in the cables connecting the bench power supply to the
evaluation board and the input capacitors.

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.
