The LMZ10504EXT power module is a complete,
easy-to-use, DC-DC solution capable of driving up to
a 4-A load with exceptional power conversion
efficiency, output voltage accuracy, line and load
regulation. The LMZ10504EXT is available in an
innovative
package
that
enhances
thermal
performance and allows for hand or machine
soldering.
The LMZ10504EXT can accept an input voltage rail
between 2.95 V and 5.5 V, and deliver an adjustable
and highly accurate output voltage as low as 0.8 V. 1MHz 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 or electrolytic output capacitors.
Externally
programmable
soft-start
capacitor
facilitates controlled start-up. The LMZ10504EXT is a
reliable and robust solution with the following
features: lossless cycle-by-cycle peak current limit to
protect for overcurrent or short-circuit fault, thermal
shutdown, input undervoltage lockout, and prebiased
start-up. The LMZ10504EXT is also fully-enabled for
WEBENCH® and Power Designer tools.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Enable
The LMZ10504EXT features an enable (EN) pin and associated comparator to allow the user to easily sequence
the LMZ10504EXT from an external voltage rail, or to manually set the input UVLO threshold. The turnon or
rising threshold and hysteresis for this comparator are typically 1.23 V and 0.15 V, respectively. The precise
reference for the enable comparator allows the user to ensure that the LMZ10504EXT will be disabled when the
system demands it to be.
The EN pin should not be left floating. For always-on operation, connect EN to VIN.
7.3.2 Enable and UVLO
Using a resistor divider from VIN to EN as shown in the schematic diagram below, the input voltage at which the
part begins switching can be increased above the normal input UVLO level according to:
R
Renb
VIN(UVLO) 1.23 V u ent

For example, suppose that the required input UVLO level is 3.69 V. Choosing Renb = 10 kΩ, then we calculate
Rent = 20 kΩ.

7.3.3 Soft-Start
The LMZ10504EXT begins to operate when both the VIN and EN, voltages exceed the rising UVLO and enable
thresholds, respectively. A controlled soft-start eliminates inrush currents during start-up and allows the user
more control and flexibility when sequencing the LMZ10504EXT with other power supplies.
In the event of either VIN or EN decreasing below the falling UVLO or enable threshold respectively, the voltage
on the soft-start pin is collapsed by discharging the soft-start capacitor by a 14-µA (typical) current sink to
ground.
7.3.4 Soft-Start Capacitor
Determine the soft-start capacitance with the following relationship:
t ss u Iss
CSS
VFB
where
•
•
•
VFB is the internal reference voltage (nominally 0.8 V),
ISS is the soft-start charging current (nominally 2 µA)
and CSS is the external soft-start capacitance.
(2)
Thus, the required soft-start capacitor per unit output voltage start-up time is given by:
CSS 2.5 nF / ms
(3)
For example, a 4-ms soft-start time will yield a 10-nF capacitance. The minimum soft-start capacitance is 680 pF.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.5 Tracking
The LMZ10504EXT can track the output of a master power supply during soft-start by connecting a resistor
divider to the SS pin. In this way, the output voltage slew rate of the LMZ10504EXT will be controlled by a
master supply for loads that require precise sequencing. When the tracking function is used, a small value softstart capacitor should be connected to the SS pin to alleviate output voltage overshoot when recovering from a
current limit fault.

Figure 18. Tracking Using External Power Supply
7.3.6 Tracking - Equal Soft-Start Time
One way to use the tracking feature is to design the tracking resistor divider so that the master supply output
voltage, VOUT1, and the LMZ10504EXT output voltage, VOUT2, both rise together and reach their target values at
the same time. This is termed ratiometric start-up. For this case, the equation governing the values of tracking
divider resistors Rtrkb and Rtrkt is given by:
R trkt
R trkb
VOUT1 1.0 V
(4)
Equation 4 includes an offset voltage, of 200 mV, to ensure that the final value of the SS pin voltage exceeds the
reference voltage of the LMZ10504EXT. This offset will cause the LMZ10504EXT output voltage to reach
regulation slightly before the master supply. For a value of 33 kΩ, 1% is recommended for Rtrkt as a compromise
between high-precision and low-quiescent current through the divider while minimizing the effect of the 2-µA softstart current source.
For example, if the master supply voltage VOUT1 is 3.3 V and the LMZ10504EXT output voltage was 1.8 V, then
the value of Rtrkb needed to give the two supplies identical soft-start times would be 14.3 kΩ. Figure 19 shows an
example of tracking using equal soft-start time.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.7 Tracking - Equal Slew Rates
Alternatively, the tracking feature can be used to have similar output voltage ramp rates. This is referred to as
simultaneous start-up. In this case, the tracking resistors can be determined based on Equation 5:
0.8 V
R trkb
u R trkt
VOUT 2 0.8 V
(5)
and to ensure proper overdrive of the SS pin:
VOUT 2 0.8 u VOUT1
(6)
For the example case of VOUT1 = 5 V and VOUT2 = 2.5 V, with Rtrkt set to 33 kΩ as before, Rtrkb is calculated from
Equation 5 to be 15.5 kΩ. Figure 20 shows an example of tracking using equal slew rates.

7.3.8 Current Limit
When a current greater than the output current limit (IOCL) is sensed, the ON-time is immediately terminated and
the low-side MOSFET is activated. The low-side MOSFET stays on for the entire next four switching cycles.
During these skipped pulses, the voltage on the soft-start pin is reduced by discharging the soft-start capacitor by
a current sink on the soft-start pin of nominally 14 µA. Subsequent overcurrent events will drain more and more
charge from the soft-start capacitor, effectively decreasing the reference voltage as the output droops due to the
pulse skipping. Reactivation of the soft-start circuitry ensures that when the overcurrent situation is removed, the
part will resume normal operation smoothly.
7.3.9 Overtemperature Protection
When the LMZ10504EXT senses a junction temperature greater than 145°C (typical), both switching MOSFETs
are turned off and the part enters a standby state. Upon sensing a junction temperature below 135°C (typical),
the part will re-initiate the soft-start sequence and begin switching once again.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Prebias Start-Up Capability
At start-up, the LMZ10504EXT is in a prebiased state when the output voltage is greater than zero. This often
occurs in many multi-rail applications such as when powering an ASIC, FPGA, or DSP. The output can be
prebiased in these applications through parasitic conduction paths from one supply rail to another. Even though
the LMZ10504EXT is a synchronous converter, it will not pull the output low when a prebias condition exists. The
LMZ10504EXT will not sink current during start-up until the soft-start voltage exceeds the voltage on the FB pin.
Because the device does not sink current it protects the load from damage that might otherwise occur if current
is conducted through the parasitic paths of the load.

8.2.2.2 Input Capacitor Selection
A 22-µF or 47-µF high-quality dielectric (X5R, X7R) ceramic capacitor rated at twice the maximum input voltage
is typically sufficient. The input capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the VIN pin and GND exposed
pad to substantially eliminate the parasitic effects of any stray inductance or resistance on the PCB and supply
lines.
Neglecting capacitor equivalent series resistance (ESR), the resultant input capacitor AC ripple voltage is a
triangular waveform. The minimum input capacitance for a given peak-to-peak value (ΔVIN) of VIN is specified as
follows:
I
u Du (1 D)
Cin t OUT
fsw u ' VIN
where
•
D
the PWM duty cycle, D, is given by Equation 8:

A second criteria before finalizing the Cin bypass capacitor is the RMS current capability. The necessary RMS
current rating of the input capacitor to a buck regulator can be estimated by:
ICin(RMS)
IOUT u D(1 D)
(10)
2.5V § 2.5V·
1ICin(RMS) = 4A x
= 2A
5V ©
5V ¹
(11)
With this high AC current present in the input capacitor, the RMS current rating becomes an important
parameter. The maximum input capacitor ripple voltage and RMS current occur at 50% duty cycle. Select an
input capacitor rated for at least the maximum calculated ICin(RMS).
Additional bulk capacitance with higher ESR may be required to damp any resonance effects of the input
capacitance and parasitic inductance.
8.2.2.3 Output Capacitor Selection
In general, 22-µF to 100-µF high-quality dielectric (X5R, X7R) ceramic capacitor rated at twice the maximum
output voltage is sufficient given the optimal high frequency characteristics and low ESR of ceramic dielectrics.
Although, the output capacitor can also be of electrolytic chemistry for increased capacitance density.
Two output capacitance equations are required to determine the minimum output capacitance. One equation
determines the output capacitance (CO) based on PWM ripple voltage. The second equation determines CO
based on the load transient characteristics. Select the largest capacitance value of the two.
The minimum capacitance, given the maximum output voltage ripple (ΔVOUT) requirement, is determined by the
following equation:
' iL
CO t
8 u fsw u > ' VOUT ( ' iL u RESR )@
where
•
' iL
the peak to peak inductor current ripple (ΔiL) is equal to Equation 13:
(VIN VOUT ) u D
Lu fsw
(12)
(13)
RESR is the total output capacitor ESR, L is the inductance value of the internal power inductor, where L = 1.5
µH, and fSW = 1 MHz. Therefore, per the design example:

The feedback voltage (at VOUT = 2.5 V) is accurate to within –2.5% / +2.5% over temperature and over line and
load regulation. Additionally, the LMZ10504EXT contains error nulling circuitry to substantially eliminate the
feedback voltage variation over temperature as well as the long-term aging effects of the internal amplifiers. In
addition the zero nulling circuit dramatically reduces the 1/f noise of the bandgap amplifier and reference. The
manifestation of this circuit action is that the duty cycle will have two slightly different but distinct operating points,
each evident every other switching cycle.
8.2.2.4 Loop Compensation
The LMZ10504EXT preserves flexibility by integrating the control components around the internal error amplifier
while utilizing three small external compensation components from VOUT to FB. An integrated type II (two pole,
one zero) voltage-mode compensation network is featured. To ensure stability, an external resistor and small
value capacitor can be added across the upper feedback resistor as a pole-zero pair to complete a type III (three
pole, two zero) compensation network. The compensation components recommended in Table 4 provide type III
compensation at an optimal control loop performance. The typical phase margin is 45° with a bandwidth of 80
kHz. Calculated output capacitance values not listed in Table 4 should be verified before designing into
production. The AN-2013 LMZ1050x/LMZ1050xEXT SIMPLE SWITCHER Power Module (SNVA417) is a
detailed application note that provides verification support. In general, calculated output capacitance values
below the suggested value will have reduced phase margin and higher control loop bandwidth. Output
capacitance values above the suggested values will experience a lower bandwidth and increased phase margin.
Higher bandwidth is associated with faster system response to sudden changes such as load transients. Phase
margin changes the characteristics of the response. Lower phase margin is associated with underdamped ringing
and higher phase margin is associated with overdamped response. Losing all phase margin will cause the
system to be unstable; an optimized area of operation is 30° to 60° of phase margin, with a bandwidth of 100
kHz ±20 kHz.

SNVS670J – JUNE 2010 – REVISED APRIL 2019
9 Power Supply Recommendations
The LMZ10504EXT device is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 2.95 V and 5.5 V.
This input supply must be well regulated and able to withstand maximum input current and maintain a stable
voltage. The resistance of the input supply rail must be low enough that an input current transient does not cause
a high enough drop at the LMZ10504EXT supply voltage that can cause a false UVLO fault triggering and
system reset. If the input supply is more than a few inches from the LMZ10504EXT, additional bulk capacitance
may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors. The amount of bulk capacitance is not critical, but
a 47-μF or 100-μF electrolytic capacitor is a typical choice.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
PCB layout is an important part of DC-DC converter design. Poor board layout can disrupt the performance of a
DC-DC converter and surrounding circuitry by contributing to EMI, ground bounce and resistive voltage drop in
the traces. These can send erroneous signals to the DC-DC converter resulting in poor regulation or instability.
Good layout can be implemented by following a few simple design rules.
1. Minimize area of switched current loops.
From an EMI reduction standpoint, it is imperative to minimize the high di/dt current paths. The high current
that does not overlap contains high di/dt, see Figure 29. Therefore physically place input capacitor (Cin1) as
close as possible to the LMZ10504EXT VIN pin and GND exposed pad to avoid observable high-frequency
noise on the output pin. This will minimize the high di/dt area and reduce radiated EMI. Additionally,
grounding for both the input and output capacitor should consist of a localized top side plane that connects to
the GND exposed pad (EP).
2. Have a single point ground.
Route the ground connections for the feedback, soft-start, and enable components only to the GND pin of
the device. This prevents any switched or load currents from flowing in the analog ground traces. If not
properly placed, poor grounding can result in degraded load regulation or erratic output voltage ripple
behavior. Provide the single point ground connection from pin 4 to EP.
3. Minimize trace length to the FB pin.
Both feedback resistors, Rfbt and Rfbb, and the compensation components, Rcomp and Ccomp, should be
located close to the FB pin. Because the FB node is high impedance, keep the copper area as small as
possible. This is most important as relatively high-value resistors are used to set the output voltage.
4. Make input and output bus connections as wide as possible.
This reduces any voltage drops on the input or output of the converter and maximizes efficiency. To optimize
voltage accuracy at the load, ensure that a separate feedback voltage sense trace is made at the load. Doing
so will correct for voltage drops and provide optimum output accuracy.
5. Provide adequate device heat-sinking.
Use an array of heat-sinking vias to connect the exposed pad to the ground plane on the bottom PCB layer.
If the PCB has multiple copper layers, thermal vias can also be employed to make connection to inner layer
heat-spreading ground planes. For best results use a 6 × 6 via array with minimum via diameter of 8 mils
thermal vias spaced 59 mils (1.5 mm). Ensure enough copper area is used for heat-sinking to keep the
junction temperature below 125°C.

10.3 Estimate Power Dissipation and Thermal Considerations
Use the current derating curves in the Typical Characteristics section to obtain an estimate of power loss
(PIC_LOSS). For the design case of VIN = 5 V, VOUT = 2.5 V, IOUT = 4 A, TA(MAX) = 85°C , and TJ(MAX) = 125°C, the
device must see a thermal resistance from case to ambient (θCA) of less than:
TJ(MAX) TA(MAX)
TCA t
TJC
PIC_LOSS
(21)
Board Area_cm 2 t
500
41o C
o
u
Cu cm 2
W
(22)
Given the typical thermal resistance from junction to case (θJC) to be 1.9°C/W (typical). Continuously operating at
a TJ greater than 125°C will have a shorten life span.
To reach θCA = 41°C/W, the PCB is required to dissipate heat effectively. With no airflow and no external heat, a
good estimate of the required board area covered by 1-oz. copper on both the top and bottom metal layers is:
Board Area_cm 2 t
500 o Cu cm 2
u
T CA
W
(23)
Cu cm 2
Board Area_cm 2 t o u
W
41 C
500
o
(24)
As a result, approximately 12 square cm of 1-oz. copper on top and bottom layers is required for the PCB
design.
The PCB copper heat sink must be connected to the exposed pad (EP). Approximately thirty six 8 milsthermal
vias spaced 59 mils (1.5 mm) apart must connect the top copper to the bottom copper. For an extended
discussion and formulations of thermal rules of thumb, refer to AN-2020 Thermal Design By Insight, Not
Hindsight (SNVA419) and for an example of a high thermal performance PCB layout, refer to the evaluation
board application note AN-2074 LMZ1050xEXT Evaluation Board (SNVA450).

10.4 Power Module SMT Guidelines
The recommendations below are for a standard module surface mount assembly
• Land Pattern – Follow the PCB land pattern with either soldermask defined or non-soldermask defined pads
• Stencil Aperture
– For the exposed die attach pad (DAP), adjust the stencil for approximately 80% coverage of the PCB land
pattern
– For all other I/O pads use a 1:1 ratio between the aperture and the land pattern recommendation.
• Solder Paste – Use a standard SAC Alloy such as SAC 305, type 3 or higher
• Stencil Thickness – 0.125 to 0.15 mm
• Reflow - Refer to solder paste supplier recommendation and optimized per board size and density
• Maximum number of reflows allowed is one
• Refer to Design Summary LMZ1xxx and LMZ2xxx Power Modules Family (SNAA214) for reflow information.
