7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LMZ21701 Nano Module is an easy-to-use step-down DC/DC solution capable of driving up to 1000 mA load
in space-constrained applications. Only an input capacitor, an output capacitor, a softstart capacitor, and two
resistors are required for basic operation. The Nano Module comes in 8-pin DFN footprint package with an
integrated inductor. The LMZ21701 architecture is based on DCS-Control™ (Direct Control with Seamless
Transition into Power Save Mode). This architecture combines the fast transient response and stability of
hysteretic type converters along with the accurate DC output regulation of voltage mode and current mode
regulators.
The LMZ21701 architecture uses pulse width modulation (PWM) mode for medium and heavy load requirements
and Power Save Mode (PSM) at light loads for high efficiency. In PWM mode the switching frequency is
controlled over the input voltage range. The value depends on the output voltage setting and is typically reduced
at low output voltages to achieve higher efficiency. In PSM the switching frequency decreases linearly with the
load current. Since the architecture of the device supports both operation modes (PWM and PSM) in a single
circuit building block, the transition between the modes of operation is seamless with minimal effect on the output
voltage.

7.3 Package Construction
In order to achieve a small solution size the LMZ21701 Nano Module comes in an innovative MicroSiP™
package. The construction consists of a synchronous buck converter IC embedded inside an FR-4 laminate
substrate, with a power inductor mounted on top of the substrate material. See Figure 12 and Figure 13 below.
The bottom (landing pads) of the package resemble a typical 8-pin DFN package. See the Mechanical drawings
at the end of the datasheet for details on the recommended landing pattern and solder paste stencil information.

7.4 Feature Description
7.4.1 Input Undervoltage Lockout
The LMZ21701 features input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit. It monitors the input voltage level and
prevents the device from switching the power MOSFETs if VIN is not high enough. The typical VIN UVLO rising
threshold is 2.9 V with 180 mV of hysteresis.
7.4.2 Enable Input (EN)
The enable pin (EN) is weakly pulled down internally through a 400-kΩ resistor to keep EN logic low when the
pin is floating. The pull-down resistor is not connected when EN is set high. Once the voltage on the enable pin
(EN) is set high the Nano Module will start operation. If EN is set low ( < 0.3 V ) the LMZ21701 will enter
shutdown mode. The typical shutdown quiescent current is 1.5 μA.
7.4.3 Soft Start and Tracking Function (SS)
When EN is set high for device operation the LMZ21701 start switching after 50-μs delay, and the output voltage
starts rising. The VOUT rising slope is controlled by the external capacitor CSS connected to the softstart (SS) pin.
The Nano Module has a 2.9 μA constant current source internally connected to the SS pin to program the
softstart time TSS:
TSS = CSS × 1.25 V / 2.9 μA
(1)
The soft-start capacitor voltage is reset to zero volts when EN is pulled low and when the thermal protection is
active.
If tracking function is desired, the SS pin can be used to track external voltage. If the applied external tracking
voltage is between 100 mV and 1.2 V, the FB voltage will follow SS according to the following relationship:
VFB = 0.64 x VSS
(2)
7.4.4 Power Good Function (PG)
The LMZ21701 features a power good function which can be used for sequencing of multiple rails. The PG pin is
an open-drain output and requires a pull-up resistor RPG to VOUT (or any other external voltage less than 7 V).
When the Nano Module is enabled and UVLO is satisfied, the power good function starts monitoring the output
voltage. The PG pin is kept at logic low if the output has not reached the proper regulation voltage. Refer to the
Electrical Characteristics table for the PG voltage thresholds. The PG pin can sink 2 mA of current which sets the
minimum limit of the RPG resistance value:
RPG-MIN= VPULL-UP / 2 mA
(3)
The PG pin goes low impedance if the device is disabled or the thermal protection is active.
7.4.5 Output Voltage Setting
The output voltage of the LMZ21701 is set by a resistive divider from VOUT to GND, connected to the feedback
(FB) pin. The output voltage can be set between 0.9 V and 6 V. The voltage at the FB pin is regulated to 0.8 V.
The recommended minimum divider current is 2 μA. This sets a maximum limit on the bottom feedback resistor
RFBB. Its value must not exceed 400 kΩ. The top feedback resistor RFBT can be calculated using the following
formula:
RFBT = RFBB x (VOUT/ 0.8 – 1)
(4)
7.4.6 Output Current Limit and Output Short Circuit Protection
The LMZ21701 has integrated protection against heavy loads and output short circuit events. Both, the high-side
FET and low-side FET have current monitoring circuitry. If the current limit threshold of the high-side FET is
reached , the high-side FET will be turned off and the low-side FET will be turned on to ramp down the inductor
current. Once the current through the low-side FET has decreased below a safe level, the high-side device will
be allowed to turn on again. The actual DC output current depends on the input voltage, output voltage, and
switching frequency. Refer to the Application Curves section for more information.

Feature Description (continued)
7.4.7 Thermal Protection
The nano module monitors its junction temperature (Tj) and shuts itself off if the it gets too hot. The thermal
shutdown threshold for the junction is typically 160 °C. Both, high-side and low-side FETs are turned off until the
junction temperature has decreased under the hysteresis level, typically 30 °C below the shutdown temperature.
7.5 Device Functional Modes
7.5.1 PWM Mode Operation
The LMZ21701 operates in PWM mode when the output current is greater than half the inductor ripple current.
The frequency variation in PWM mode is controlled and depends on the VIN and VOUT settings. Refer to the
Application Curves section for switching frequency graphs for several typical output voltage settings. As the load
current is decreased and the valley of the inductor current ripple reaches 0 A the device enters PSM operation to
maintain high efficiency.
7.5.2 PSM Operation
Once the load current decreases and the valley of the inductor current reaches 0 A, the LMZ21701 transitions to
power save mode of operation. The device will remain in PSM as long as the inductor current is discontinuous.
The switching frequency will decrease linearly with the load current. If VIN decreases to about 15 % above VOUT
the device will not enter PSM and will maintain output regulation in PWM mode.

• Print PDF reports for the design, and share the design with colleagues
Get more information about WEBENCH tools at www.ti.com/WEBENCH.
8.2.2.2 Input Capacitor (CIN)
Low ESR multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) are recommended for the input capacitor of the LMZ21701.
Using a ≥ 10 µF ceramic input capacitor in ≥ 0805 (2012 metric) case size with 25-V rating typically provides
sufficient VIN bypass. Use of multiple capacitors can also be considered. Ceramic capacitors with X5R and X7R
temperature characteristics are recommended. These provide an optimal balance between small size, cost,
reliability, and performance for applications with limited space. The DC voltage bias characteristics of the
capacitors must be considered when selecting the DC voltage rating and case size of these components. The
effective capacitance of an MLCC is typically reduced by the DC voltage bias applied across its terminals.
Selecting a part with larger capacitance, larger case size, or higher voltage rating can compensate for the
capacitance loss due to the DC voltage bias effect. For example, a 10-µF, X7R, 25-V rated capacitor used under
12-V DC bias may have approximately 8-µF effective capacitance in a 1210 (3225 metric) case size and about 6
µF in a 1206 (3216 metric) case size. As another example, a 10-µF, X7R, 16-V rated capacitor in a 1210 (3225
metric) case size used at 12-V DC bias may have approximately 5.5 µF effective capacitance. Check the
capacitor specifications published by the manufacturer.
8.2.2.3 Output Capacitor (COUT)
Similarly to the input capacitor, it is recommended to use low ESR multi-layer ceramic capacitors for COUT.
Ceramic capacitors with X5R and X7R temperature characteristics are recommended. Use 10 µF or larger value
and consider the DC voltage bias characteristics of the capacitor when choosing the case size and voltage
rating. For stability, the output capacitor should be in the 10 µF – 200 µF effective capacitance range.

8.2.2.4 Soft-start Capacitor (CSS)
The softstart capacitor is chosen according to the desired softstart time. As described in the Softstart and
Tracking Function section the softstart time TSS = CSS x 1.25 V / 2.9 μA.
A minimum CSS value of 1000 pF is required for monotonic VOUT ramp up.
8.2.2.5 Power Good Resistor (RPG)
If the Power Good function is used, a pull up resistor RPG is necessary from the PG pin to an external pull-up
voltage.
The minimum RPG value is restricted by the pull down current capability of the internal pull down device.
RPG-MIN= VPULL-UP / 2 mA
(5)
The maximum RPG value is based on the maximum PG leakage current and the minimum “logic high” level
system requirements:
RPG-MAX= (VPULL-UP – VLOGIC-HIGH) / ILKG_PG
(6)
8.2.2.6 Feedback Resistors (RFBB and RFBT)
The feedback resistors RFBB and RFBT set the desired output voltage. Choose RFBB less than 400 kΩ and
calculate the value for RFBT using the following formula:
RFBT = RFBB x (VOUT/ 0.8 – 1)
(7)

8.3 Do's and Don'ts
● DO NOT exceed the Absolute Maximum Ratings.
● DO NOT exceed the Recommended Operating Conditions.
● DO NOT exceed the ESD Ratings.
● DO follow the Detailed Design Procedure.
● DO follow the PCB Layout Guidelines and Layout Example.
● DO follow the Power Supply Recommendations.
● DO visit the TI E2E Community Support Forum to have your questions answered and designs reviewed.
9 Power Supply Recommendations
9.1 Voltage Range
The voltage of the input supply must not exceed the Absolute Maximum Ratings and the Recommended
Operating Conditions of the LMZ21701.
9.2 Current Capability
The input supply must be able to supply the required input current to the LMZ21701 converter. The required
input current depends on the application's minimum required input voltage (VIN-MIN), the required output power
(VOUT × IOUT-MAX), and the converter efficiency (η).
IIN = VOUT x IOUT-MAX / (VIN-MIN x η)
For example, for a design with 10-V minimum input voltage, 5-V output, and 1-A maximum load, considering 90%
conversion efficiency, the required input current is 0.556 A.
9.3 Input Connection
Long input connection cables can cause issues with the normal operation of any buck converter.
9.3.1 Voltage Drops
Using long input wires to connect the supply to the input of any converter adds impedance in series with the
input supply. This impedance can cause a voltage drop at the VIN pin of the converter when the output of the
converter is loaded. If the input voltage is near the minimum operating voltage, this added voltage drop can
cause the converter to drop out or reset. If long wires are used during testing, it is recommended to add some
bulk (for example, electrolytic) capacitance at the input of the converter.
9.3.2 Stability
The added inductance of long input cables together with the ceramic (and low ESR) input capacitor can result in
an under damped RLC network at the input of the Buck converter. This can cause oscillations on the input and
instability. If long wires are used, it is recommended to add some electrolytic capacitance in parallel with the
ceramic input capacitor. The electrolytic capacitor's ESR will improve the damping.
Use an electrolytic capacitor with CELECTROLYTIC≥ 4 × CCERAMIC and ESRELECTROLYTIC≈ √ (LCABLE / CCERAMIC)
For example, two cables (one for VIN and one for GND), each 1 meter (~3 ft) long with ~1-mm diameter (18
AWG), placed 1 cm (~0.4 in) apart will form a rectangular loop resulting in about 1.2 µH of inductance. The
inductance in this example can be decreased to almost half if the input wires are twisted. Based on a 22 µF
ceramic input capacitor, the recommended parallel CELECTROLYTIC is ≥ 88 µF. Using a 100 µF capacitor will be
sufficient. The recommended ESRELECTROLYTIC≈ 0.23 Ω or larger, based on about 1.2 µH of inductance and 22
µF of ceramic input capacitance.
See application note SNVA489C for more details on input filter design.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The PCB layout is critical for the proper operation of any DC/DC switching converter. Although using modules
can simplify the PCB layout process, care should still be taken to minimize the inductance in the high di/dt loops
and to protect sensitive nodes. The following guidelines should be followed when designing a board layout with
the LMZ21701:
10.1.1 Minimize the High di/dt Loop Area
The input capacitor, the VIN terminal, and the GND terminal of the LMZ21701 form a high di/dt loop. Place the
input capacitor as close as possible to the VIN and GND terminals of the module IC. This minimizes the area of
the high di/dt loop and results in lower inductance in the switching current path. Lower inductance in the
switching current path translates to lower voltage spikes on the internal switch node and lower noise on the
output voltage. Make the copper traces between the input capacitor and the VIN and GND terminals wide and
short for better current handling and minimized parasitic inductance.
10.1.2 Protect the Sensitive Nodes in the Circuit
The feedback node is a sensitive circuit which can pick up noise. Make the feedback node as small as possible.
This can be achieved by placing the feedback divider as close as possible to the IC. Use thin traces to the
feedback pin in order to minimize the parasitic capacitance to other nodes. The feedback network carries very
small current and thick traces are not necessary. Another sensitive node to protect is the VOS pin. Use a thin
and short trace from the VOUT terminal of the output capacitor to the VOS pin. The VOS pin is right next to the
GND terminal. For very noisy systems, a small (0402 or 0201) 0.1 µF capacitor can be placed from VOS to GND
to filter high frequency noise on the VOS line.
10.1.3 Provide Thermal Path and Shielding
Using the available layers in the PCB can help provide additional shielding and improved thermal performance.
Large unbroken GND copper areas provide good thermal and return current paths. Flood unused PCB area with
GND copper. Use thermal vias to connect the GND copper between layers.
The required board area for proper thermal dissipation can be estimated using the power dissipation curves for
the desired output voltage and the package thermal resistance vs. board area curve. Refer to the power
dissipation graphs in the Typical Characteristics section. Using the power dissipation (PDISS) for the designed
input and output voltage and the max operating ambient temperature TA for the application, estimate the required
thermal resistance RθJA with the following expression.
RθJA - REQUIRED≤ (125ºC - TA) / PDISS
(8)
Then use Figure 80 to estimate the board copper area required to achieve the calculated thermal resistance.

Layout Guidelines (continued)
For example, for a design with 12-V input, 5-V output, and 1-A load the power dissipation according to Figure 7
is 0.53 W.
For 85°C ambient temperature, the RθJA-REQUIRED is ≤ (125°C – 85°C) / 0.53 W, or ≤ 75°C/W. Looking at
Figure 80 the minimum copper area required to achieve this thermal resistance with a 4-layer board and 70 µm
(2 oz) copper is approximately 3 cm².
10.2 Layout Example
The following example is for a 4-layer board. Layers 2 and 4 provide additional shielding and thermal path. If a 2layer board is used, apply the Layer 1 and Layer 3 copper patterns for the top and bottom layers, respectively.
