User's Guide
ABSTRACT
The LMZ31710 device is a 2.95-V to 17-V input, 10-A output, SIMPLE SWITCHER® power module, which
integrates the PWM controller, power MOSFETs, shielded inductor, and passives in a low-profile, QFN package.
For applications requiring greater than 10 A, it is possible to parallel up to six LMZ31710 devices. This user's
guide provides information on the correct usage of the test board and an explanation of the test points and
jumpers on the board.

1 Description
This test board features the LMZ31710 device configured for parallel operation. The test board operates over the
entire input voltage range of the LMZ31710 device (2.95 to 17 V) with the option to select a split input power
rail. The output voltage can be set to one of four popular values by using a configuration jumper (P4). This board
can be configured to accept an external clock to set the switching frequency. Using a jumper, each paralleled
LMZ31710 device can be configured to operate in phase with the controller or 180° out-of-phase. Input and
output capacitors are included on the board to accommodate the entire range of input and output voltages.
Current monitoring test points are available to measure the current of each device. Monitoring test points are
provided to allow measurement of the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Efficiency
Power dissipation
Input ripple
Output ripple
Line and load regulation
Transient response
Control test points are provided to use the PWRGD, inhibit/UVLO, synchronization (CLK_IN), and slow-start or
tracking features.
2 Getting Started
Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 highlight the user interface items associated with both the 2× and 4× LMZ31710
parallel test board. The polarized PVIN power terminal blocks are used to connect to the host input supply, and
the polarized VOUT power terminal blocks are used to connect to the load. These terminal blocks can accept
up to 16 AWG wire. The polarized VBIAS terminal block is used along with the VIN SELECT jumper (P1) when
optional split power supply operation is desired. Refer to the LMZ31710 10-A Module, 2.95-V to 17-V Input and
Current Sharing in QFN Package data sheet for further information on split power supply operation. Refer to
Table 2-1 for terminal block numbering for either the 2× or 4× LMZ31710 parallel test board.

The PVIN monitor and VOUT monitor test points located near the power terminal blocks are intended as voltage
monitoring points where digital voltmeters can connect to measure PVIN and VOUT.
CAUTION
Do not use these PVIN and VOUT monitoring test points as the input supply or output load
connection points. The PCB traces connecting to these test points are not designed to support
high currents. High currents can damage the PCB traces.
The PVIN Scope and VOUT Scope test points can be used to monitor PVIN and VOUT waveforms with an
oscilloscope. These test points are intended for use with un-hooded scope probes outfitted with a low-inductance
ground lead (ground spring) mounted to the scope barrel. The two sockets of each test point are on 0.1-inch
centers. The scope probe tip should be connected to the socket labeled PVIN, or VOUT, and the scope ground
lead should be connected to the socket labeled PGND.
The current monitor test points located above each LMZ31710 device are intended to be used with digital
voltmeters to monitor the current across a 1-mΩ sense resistor located on the bottom of the board. The controls
test points located on the perimeter of the board are made available to test the features of the device. Any
external connections made to these test points should be referenced to an AGND test point. Refer to Section 3
for more information on the individual control test points.

Test Point Descriptions
www.ti.com
The VOUT SELECT jumper (P4) is provided for selecting the desired output voltage. Before applying power to
the test board, ensure that the jumper is present and properly positioned for the intended output voltage. Always
remove input power before changing the jumper settings.
3 Test Point Descriptions
Wire-loop test points and scope probe test points have been provided as convenient connection points for
digital voltmeters (DVM) or oscilloscope probes to aid in the evaluation of the test board. Table 3-1 provides a
description of each test point.

Connects to the RT/CLK pin of the LMZ31710 devices. An external clock signal can be applied to this point to
synchronize the devices to an appropriate frequency.
Connect this point to control ground to inhibit the LMZ31710 devices. Allow this point to float to enable the device.
An external resistor divider (R3 and R4) can be connected between this point, control ground, and PVIN to adjust
the undervoltage lockout of the device.
Input voltage monitor. Connect the DVM to this point to measure efficiency.
Input voltage scope monitor. Connect an oscilloscope to this set of points to measure input ripple voltage.
Monitors the power good signal of the LMZ31710. This is an open-drain signal that requires an external pullup
resistor if monitoring is desired. TI recommends a 10-kΩ to 100-kΩ pullup resistor.
PWRGD PULL_UP
Power-good pullup voltage connection point. Connect an external voltage (< 6 V) to this pin to supply a voltage for
the PWRGD signal. A 100-kΩ pullup resistor is located on the bottom-side of the board.
SS/TR
Connects to the slow-start connection of the LMZ31710 devices. An external capacitor can be connected from this
point to control ground to increase the slow-start time of the devices. This point can also be used as an input for
tracking applications.
SYNC_OUT
This output provides a clock signal that is 180° out of phase with the PH node of the LMZ31710 device and can be
used to synchronize other devices.
VOUT
Output voltage monitor. Connect DVM to this point for measuring efficiency, line regulation, and load regulation.
VOUT Scope (P3)
Output voltage scope monitor. Connect an oscilloscope to this set of points to measure output ripple voltage and
transient response.

Operation Notes
4 Operation Notes
To operate the test board using a single power supply, the VIN SELECT jumper (P1) must be in the default
PVIN-VIN position as shown in Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2. In this position, the PVIN and VIN pins of the
LMZ31710 devices are connected together. When connected together the input voltage range is 4.5 to 17 V.
Refer to the LMZ31710 10-A Module, 2.95-V to 17-V Input and Current Sharing in QFN Package data sheet for
further information on the input voltage range, UVLO operation, and optional split power supply operation when
using an external Vbias supply.
After a valid input voltage is present, the output voltage ramps to the selected value in approximately 1.2 ms.
The soft-start time can be increased by adding a SS capacitor to the C12 position on the bottom of the test
board. Refer to the LMZ31710 10-A Module, 2.95-V to 17-V Input and Current Sharing in QFN Package data
sheet for further information on adjusting the soft-start time.
All LMZ31710 devices on the test board must be synchronized to the same frequency. This can be accomplished
by either applying an external clock signal to the CLK_IN test point and running the clock to each device, or by
setting the frequency of the controller device using the RRT resistor (R2) and running the Sync_Out signal to the
remaining target devices. The Clock Phase Selector for each device is used to select either the external clock
or the Sync_Out clock signal. The Sync_Out signal is a clock signal that is the same as the switching frequency,
but is 180° out of phase. The test boards are set-up to operate at a free-running frequency of 300 kHz. To
change the free-running switching frequency, the value of R2 can be changed according to the LMZ31710 10-A
Module, 2.95-V to 17-V Input and Current Sharing in QFN Package data sheet.
Table 4-1 lists the switching frequency ranges for each of the VOUT selections. Several factors such as duty
cycle, minimum on-time, minimum off-time, and current limit influence selection of the switching frequency.

Current Limitations
www.ti.com
5 Current Limitations
When operating LMZ31710 devices in parallel, the maximum output current the solution can provide must be
calculated using Equation 1. Due to internal variances between devices, the amount of output current must be
de-rated to ensure none of the devices operate above the maximum output current of a single device (10 A). See
Figure 5-1 for typical current balancing between four LMZ31710 devices.
