LMZ31520
SLVSBM9E – OCTOBER 2013 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2018
LMZ31520 20-A Power Module With 3-V to 14.5-V Input
in QFN Package
1 Features
3 Description
•
The LMZ31520 power module is an easy-to-use
integrated power solution that combines a 20-A
DC/DC converter with power MOSFETs, a shielded
inductor, and passives into a low profile, QFN
package. This total power solution allows as few as
three external components and eliminates the loop
compensation and magnetics part selection process.

High Density Power Systems
The 15×16×5.8 mm QFN package is easy to solder
onto a printed circuit board and allows a compact
point-of-load design. Achieves greater than 95%
efficiency, has ultra-fast load step response and
excellent power dissipation capability with a thermal
impedance of 8.6°C/W. The LMZ31520 offers the
flexibility and the feature-set of a discrete point-ofload design and is ideal for powering a wide range of
ICs and systems. Advanced packaging technology
affords a robust and reliable power solution
compatible with standard QFN mounting and testing
techniques.

Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating
conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
See the temperature derating curves in the Typical Characteristics section for thermal information.
For soldering specifications, refer to the Soldering Requirements for BQFN Packages application note.

The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJA, applies to devices soldered directly to a 100 mm x 100 mm, 6-layer PCB with 1 oz.
copper and natural convection cooling. Additional airflow reduces θJA.

copper and 100 LFM forced air cooling. Additional airflow reduces θJA.
The junction-to-top characterization parameter, ψJT, estimates the junction temperature, TJ, of a device in a real system, using a
procedure described in JESD51-2A (sections 6 and 7). TJ = ψJT * Pdis + TT; where Pdis is the power dissipated in the device and TT is
the temperature of the top of the device.

the temperature of the board 1mm from the device.

The minimum PVIN voltage is 3.0V or (VOUT+ 1.1V), whichever is greater. See VIN and PVIN Input Voltage for more details.
The stated limit of the set-point voltage tolerance includes the tolerance of both the internal voltage reference and the internal
adjustment resistor. The overall output voltage tolerance will be affected by the tolerance of the external RSET resistor.
