3 Description
The LMZ23605 SIMPLE SWITCHER® power module
is an easy-to-use step-down DC – DC solution
capable of driving up to 5-A load. The LMZ23605 is
available in an innovative package that enhances
thermal performance and allows for hand or machine
soldering.
The LMZ23605 can accept an input voltage rail
between 6 V and 36 V and can deliver an adjustable
and highly accurate output voltage as low as 0.8 V.
The LMZ23605 only requires two external resistors
and three external capacitors to complete the power
solution. The LMZ23605 is a reliable and robust
design with the following protection features: thermal
shutdown, programmable input undervoltage lockout,
output overvoltage protection, short circuit protection,
output current limit, and the device allows start-up
into a prebiased output. The sync input allows
synchronization over the 650- to 950-kHz switching
frequency range.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The architecture used is an internally compensated emulated peak current mode control, based on a monolithic
synchronous SIMPLE SWITCHER core capable of supporting high load currents. The output voltage is
maintained through feedback compared with an internal 0.8-V reference. For emulated peak current-mode, the
valley current is sampled on the down-slope of the inductor current. This is used as the DC value of current to
start the next cycle.
The primary application for emulated peak current-mode is high input voltage to low output voltage operating at a
narrow duty cycle. By sampling the inductor current at the end of the switching cycle and adding an external
ramp, the minimum ON-time can be significantly reduced, without the need for blanking or filtering which is
normally required for peak current-mode control.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Synchronization Input
The PWM switching frequency can be synchronized to an external frequency source. If this feature is not used,
connect this input either directly to ground, or connect to ground through a resistor of 1.5 kΩ or less. The allowed
synchronization frequency range is 650 kHz to 950 kHz. The typical input threshold is 1.4-V transition level.
Ideally the input clock must overdrive the threshold by a factor of 2, so direct drive from 3.3-V logic through a 1.5kΩ Thevenin source resistance is recommended.
NOTE
Applying a sustained logic 1 corresponds to zero hertz PWM frequency and will cause the
module to stop switching.
7.3.2 Output Overvoltage Protection
If the voltage at FB is greater than a 0.86-V internal reference, the output of the error amplifier is pulled toward
ground, causing VO to fall.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.3 Current Limit
The LMZ23605 is protected by both low-side (LS) and high-side (HS) current limit circuitry. The LS current limit
detection is carried out during the OFF-time by monitoring the current through the LS synchronous MOSFET.
Referring to the Functional Block Diagram, when the top MOSFET is turned off, the inductor current flows
through the load, the PGND pin and the internal synchronous MOSFET. If this current exceeds 5.4 A (typical) the
current limit comparator disables the start of the next switching period. Switching cycles are prohibited until
current drops below the limit. DC current limit is dependent on both duty cycle as illustrated in the graph in the
Typical Characteristics section. The HS current limit monitors the current of top side MOSFET. Once HS current
limit is detected (7 A typical) , the HS MOSFET is shut off immediately, until the next cycle. Exceeding HS
current limit causes VO to fall. Typical behavior of exceeding LS current limit is that fSW drops to 1/2 of the
operating frequency.
7.3.4 Thermal Protection
The junction temperature of the LMZ23605 must not be allowed to exceed its maximum ratings. Thermal
protection is implemented by an internal Thermal Shutdown circuit which activates at 165°C (typical) causing the
device to enter a low power standby state. In this state the main MOSFET remains off causing VO to fall, and
additionally the CSS capacitor is discharged to ground. Thermal protection helps prevent catastrophic failures for
accidental device overheating. When the junction temperature falls back below 150°C (typical hysteresis = 15°C)
the SS pin is released, VO rises smoothly, and normal operation resumes.
Applications requiring maximum output current especially those at high input voltage may require additional
derating at elevated temperatures.
7.3.5 Prebiased Start-Up
The LMZ23605 will properly start up into a prebiased output. This start-up situation is common in multiple rail
logic applications where current paths may exist between different power rails during the start-up sequence.
Figure 46 shows proper behavior in this mode. Trace one is Enable going high. Trace two is 1.5-V prebias rising
to 3.3 V. Rise-time determined by CSS, trace three.
Figure 46. Prebiased Start-Up
7.3.6 Tracking Supply Divider Option
The tracking function allows the module to be connected as a slave supply to a primary voltage rail (often the
3.3-V system rail) where the slave module output voltage is lower than that of the master. Proper configuration
allows the slave rail to power up coincident with the master rail such that the voltage difference between the rails
during ramp-up is small (that is, < 0.15 V typical). The values for the tracking resistive divider must be selected
such that the effect of the internal 50-µA current source is minimized. In most cases the ratio of the tracking
divider resistors is the same as the ratio of the output voltage setting divider. Proper operation in tracking mode
dictates the soft-start time of the slave rail be shorter than the master rail; a condition that is easy satisfy
because the CSS cap is replaced by RTKB. The tracking function is only supported for the power up interval of the
master supply; once the SS/TRK rises past 0.8 V the input is no longer enabled and the 50-µA internal current
source is switched off.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Discontinuous Conduction and Continuous Conduction Modes
At light load the regulator will operate in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). With load currents above the
critical conduction point, it will operate in continuous conduction mode (CCM). In CCM, current flows through the
inductor through the entire switching cycle and never falls to zero during the OFF-time. When operating in DCM,
inductor current is maintained to an average value equaling IOUT. Inductor current exhibits normal behavior for
the emulated current mode control method used. Output voltage ripple typically increases during this mode of
operation.
Figure 48 is a comparison pair of waveforms of the showing both CCM (upper) and DCM operating modes.

8.2.2.2 Enable Divider, RENT, RENB and RENH Selection
Internal to the module is a 2-MΩ pullup resistor connected from VIN to Enable. For applications not requiring
precision undervoltage lockout (UVLO), the Enable input may be left open circuit and the internal resistor will
always enable the module. In such case, the internal UVLO occurs typically at 4.3 V (VINrising).
In applications with separate supervisory circuits Enable can be directly interfaced to a logic source. In the case
of sequencing supplies, the divider is connected to a rail that becomes active earlier in the power-up cycle than
the LMZ23605 output rail.
Enable provides a precise 1.279-V threshold to allow direct logic drive or connection to a voltage divider from a
higher enable voltage such as VIN. Additionally there is 21 μA (typical) of switched offset current allowing
programmable hysteresis. See Figure 50.
The function of the enable divider is to allow the designer to choose an input voltage below which the circuit will
be disabled. This implements the feature of programmable UVLO. The two resistors must be chosen based on
the following ratio:
RENT / RENB = (VIN UVLO / 1.279 V) – 1
(1)
The LMZ23605 typical application shows 12.7 kΩ for RENB and 42.2 kΩ for RENT resulting in a rising UVLO of
5.46 V. This divider presents 8.33 V to the input when the divider is raised to 36 V which would exceed the
recommended 5.5-V limit for Enable. A midpoint 5.1-V Zener clamp is applied to allow the application to cover
the full 6 V to 36 V range of operation. The Zener clamp is not required if the target application prohibits the
maximum Enable input voltage from being exceeded.
Additional enable voltage hysteresis can be added with the inclusion of RENH. It is possible to select values for
RENT and RENB such that RENH is a value of zero allowing it to be omitted from the design.
Rising threshold can be calculated as follows:
VEN(rising) = 1.279 ( 1 + (RENT|| 2 meg)/ RENB)
(2)
Whereas the falling threshold level can be calculated using:
VEN(falling) = VEN(rising) – 21 µA ( RENT|| 2 meg || RENTB + RENH )

Typical Application (continued)
8.2.2.3 Output Voltage Selection
Output voltage is determined by a divider of two resistors connected between VO and ground. The midpoint of
the divider is connected to the FB input.
The regulated output voltage determined by the external divider resistors RFBT and RFBB is:
VO = 0.796 V × (1 + RFBT / RFBB)
(4)
Rearranging terms; the ratio of the feedback resistors for a desired output voltage is:
RFBT / RFBB = (VO / 0.796 V) - 1
(5)
These resistors must generally be chosen from values in the range of 1.0 kΩ to 10.0 kΩ.
For VO = 0.8 V the FB pin can be connected to the output directly and RFBB can be set to 8.06 kΩ to provide
minimum output load.
Table 1 lists the values for RFBT and RFBB.

8.2.2.4 Soft-Start Capacitor Selection
Programmable soft-start permits the regulator to slowly ramp to its steady-state operating point after being
enabled, thereby reducing current inrush from the input supply and slowing the output voltage rise-time.
Upon turnon, after all UVLO conditions have been passed, an internal 1.6-ms circuit slowly ramps the SS/TRK
input to implement internal soft-start. If 2 ms is an adequate turnon time then the Css capacitor can be left
unpopulated. Longer soft-start periods are achieved by adding an external capacitor to this input.
Soft-start duration is given by the formula:
tSS = VREF × CSS / Iss = 0.796 V × CSS / 50 µA
(6)
This equation can be rearranged as follows:
CSS = tSS × 50 μA / 0.796 V
(7)
Using a 0.22-μF capacitor results in 3.5 ms typical soft-start duration; and 0.47 μF results in 7.5 ms typical. 0.47
μF is a recommended initial value.
As the soft-start input exceeds 0.796 V the output of the power stage will be in regulation and the 50-μA current
is deactivated. The following conditions will reset the soft-start capacitor by discharging the SS input to ground
with an internal current sink.

Internal VCC UVLO (Approx 4.3-V input to VIN)
8.2.2.5 CO Selection
None of the required CO output capacitance is contained within the module. A minimum value of 200 μF is
required based on the values of internal compensation in the error amplifier. Low ESR tantalum, organic
semiconductor or specialty polymer capacitor types are recommended for obtaining lowest ripple. The output
capacitor CO may consist of several capacitors in parallel placed in close proximity to the module. The output
capacitor assembly must also meet the worst case minimum ripple current rating of 0.5 × ILR P-P, as calculated in
Equation 14 below. Beyond that, additional capacitance will reduce output ripple so long as the ESR is low
enough to permit it. Loop response verification is also valuable to confirm closed loop behavior.
For applications with dynamic load steps; the following equation provides a good first pass approximation of CO
for load transient requirements. Where VO-Tran is 100 mV on a 3.3-V output design.
CO ≥ IO-Tran / (VO-Tran – ESR × IO-Tran) × (Fsw / VO)
(8)
Solving:
CO ≥ 4.5 A / (0.1 V – .007 × 4.5) × ( 800000 / 3.3) ≥ 271 μF
(9)
NOTE
The stability requirement for 200 µF minimum output capacitance will take precedence.
One recommended output capacitor combination is a 220-µF, 7-mΩ ESR specialty polymer cap in parallel with a
100-µF 6.3-V X5R ceramic. This combination provides excellent performance that may exceed the requirements
of certain applications. Additionally some small ceramic capacitors can be used for high frequency EMI
suppression.
8.2.2.6 CIN Selection
The LMZ23605 module contains a small amount of internal ceramic input capacitors. Additional input
capacitance is required external to the module to handle the input ripple current of the application. The input
capacitor can be several capacitors in parallel. This input capacitance must be located in very close proximity to
the module. Input capacitor selection is generally directed to satisfy the input ripple current requirements rather
than by capacitance value. Input ripple current rating is dictated by the equation:
I(CIN(RMS)) ≊ 1 / 2 × IO × SQRT (D / 1 – D)
where
•
D ≊ VO / VIN
(10)
As a point of reference, the worst case ripple current will occur when the module is presented with full load
current and when VIN = 2 × VO
Recommended minimum input capacitance is 22uF X7R (or X5R) ceramic with a voltage rating at least 25%
higher than the maximum applied input voltage for the application. It is also recommended that attention be paid
to the voltage and temperature derating of the capacitor selected.
NOTE
The ripple current rating of ceramic capacitors may be missing from the capacitor data
sheet and you may have to contact the capacitor manufacturer for this parameter.
If the system design requires a certain minimum value of peak-to-peak input ripple voltage (ΔVIN) be maintained
then the following equation may be used.
CIN ≥ IO × D × (1 – D) / fSW-CCM × ΔVIN
(11)
If ΔVIN is 1% of VIN for a 12-V input to 3.3-V output application this equals 120 mV and fSW = 812 kHz.
CIN ≥ 5 A × 3.3 V / 12 V × (1 – 3.3 V / 12 V) / (812000 × 0.12 V)
≥ 10.2 μF

SNVS659I – MARCH 2011 – REVISED AUGUST 2015
Additional bulk capacitance with higher ESR may be required to damp any resonant effects of the input
capacitance and parasitic inductance of the incoming supply lines. The LMZ23605 typical applications schematic
and evaluation board include a 150-μF 50-V aluminum capacitor for this function. There are many situations
where this capacitor is not necessary.
8.2.2.7 Discontinuous Conduction and Continuous Conduction Mode Selection
The approximate formula for determining the DCM/CCM boundary is as follows:
IDCB ≊ VO × (VIN – VO) / (2 × 3.3 μH × fSW(CCM) × VIN)
(13)
The inductor internal to the module is 3.3 μH. This value was chosen as a good balance between low and high
input voltage applications. The main parameter affected by the inductor is the amplitude of the inductor ripple
current (ILR). ILR can be calculated with:
ILR P-P = VO × (VIN– VO) / (3.3 µH × fSW × VIN)
Where
•
•
VIN is the maximum input voltage
fSW is typically 812 kHz
(14)
If the output current IO is determined by assuming that IO = IL, the higher and lower peak of ILR can be
determined.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The LMZ23605 device is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 6 V and 36 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 LMZ23605 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 LMZ23605, 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 paths during PCB layout as
shown in the figure above. The high current loops that do not overlap have high di/dt content that will cause
observable high frequency noise on the output pin if the input capacitor (CIN1) is placed at a distance away
from the LMZ23605. Therefore place CIN1 as close as possible to the LMZ23605 VIN and PGND exposed
pad. This will minimize the high di/dt area and reduce radiated EMI. Additionally, grounding for both the input
and output capacitor must consist of a localized top side plane that connects to the PGND exposed pad
(EP).
2. Have a single point ground.
The ground connections for the feedback, soft-start, and enable components must be routed to the AGND
pin of the device. This prevents any switched or load currents from flowing in the analog ground traces. If not
properly handled, poor grounding can result in degraded load regulation or erratic output voltage ripple
behavior. Additionally provide the single point ground connection from pin 4 (AGND) to EP/PGND.
3. Minimize trace length to the FB pin.
Both feedback resistors, RFBT and RFBB must be located close to the FB pin. Since the FB node is high
impedance, maintain the copper area as small as possible. The traces from RFBT, RFBB must be routed away
from the body of the LMZ23605 to minimize possible noise pickup.
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 to 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 a plurality of copper layers, these thermal vias can also be employed to make connection to
inner layer heat-spreading ground planes. For best results use a 6 × 10 via array with a minimum via
diameter of 8 mils thermal vias spaced 39 mils (1.0 mm). Ensure enough copper area is used for heatsinking to keep the junction temperature below 125°C.

10.3 Power Dissipation and Thermal Considerations
When calculating module dissipation use the maximum input voltage and the average output current for the
application. Many common operating conditions are provided in the characteristic curves such that less common
applications can be derived through interpolation. In all designs, the junction temperature must be kept below the
rated maximum of 125°C.
For the design case of VIN = 24 V, VO = 3.3 V, IO = 5 A, and TAMB(MAX) = 85°C, the module must see a thermal
resistance from case to ambient of less than:
RθCA< (TJ-MAX – TA-MAX) / PIC-LOSS – RθJC
(15)
Given the typical thermal resistance from junction to case to be 1.9°C/W. Use the 85°C power dissipation curves
in the Typical Characteristics section to estimate the PIC-LOSS for the application being designed. In this
application it is 5.5 W.

Power Dissipation and Thermal Considerations (continued)
NOTE
For package dissipations above 5-W air flow or external heat sinking may be required.
RθCA = (125 – 85) / 5.5 W – 1.9 = 5.37
(16)
To reach RθCA = 5.37, the PCB is required to dissipate heat effectively. With no airflow and no external heat-sink,
a good estimate of the required board area covered by 2-oz. copper on both the top and bottom metal layers is:
Board_Area_cm2 = 500°C × cm2 / W / RθCA
(17)
As a result, approximately 93 square cm of 2-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. Approximately sixty, 8 mil thermal
vias spaced 39 mils (1.0 mm) apart connect the top copper to the bottom copper. For an example of a high
thermal performance PCB layout for SIMPLE SWITCHER power modules, refer to SNVA457, SNVA473,
SNVA419 and SNVA424.
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
• Refer to Design Summary LMZ1xxx and LMZ2xxx Power Modules Family (SNAA214) for reflow information.
• Maximum number of reflows allowed is one
