Introduction This application note describes the features and functions of V-Infinity’s VPOL5A-5-SMT series of Non Isolated DC-DC Converters. These are highly efficient, reliable and compact, high power density, single output dc-dc converters. These “Point of Load” modules serve the needs specifically of the fixed and mobile telecommunications and computing market, employing economical distributed Power Architectures. The VPOL5A-5-SMT series provide precisely regulated output voltage range from 0.75V to 3.63 Vdc over a wide range of input voltage (Vi=3.0 – 5.5 Vdc) and can operate over an ambient temperature range of –40 +85 synchronous rectification and drive control techniques. The modules are fully protected against short circuit and overtemperature conditions. V-Infinity’s world class automated manufacturing methods, together with an extensive testing and qualification program, ensure that all VPOL5A-5-SMT series converters are extremely reliable. to . Ultra-high efficiency operation is achieved through the use of ON/OFF COM COM C1 Q2 D1 C2 R1 PWM IC ERR AMP R trim TRIM R2 Figure 1. Electrical Block Diagram 3.2 Thermal Packaging and Physical Design. The VPOL5A-5-SMT series uses a multi-layer FR4 PCB construction. All surface mount power components are placed on one side of the PCB, and all low-power control components are placed on the other side. Thus, the Heat dissipation of the power components is optimized, ensuring that control components are not thermally stressed. The converter is an open-frame product and has no case or case pin. The open-frame design has several advantages over encapsulated closed devices. Among these advantages are: Efficient Thermal Management: the heat is removed from the heat generating components without heating more sensitive, small signal control components. Environmental: Lead free open-frame converters are more easily re-cycled. Cost Efficient: No encapsulation. Cost efficient open-frame construction. Reliable: Efficient cooling provided by open frame construction offers high reliability and easy diagnostics. 2. VPOL5A-5-SMTConverter Features High efficiency topology, typically 94% at 3.3 Vdc Industry standard footprint Wide ambient temperature range, -40 °C to +85 °C Cost efficient open frame design Programmable output voltage via external resistor from 0.75 to 3.63 Vdc No minimum load requirement (Stable at all loads) Remote ON/OFF Remote sense compensation Fixed switching frequency Continuous short-circuit protection and over current protection Over-temperature protection (OTP) Monotonic Startup with pre-bias at the output. UL/IEC/EN60950 Certified. 3. General Description 3.1 Electrical Description A block diagram of the VPOL5A-5-SMT Series converter is shown in Figure 1. Extremely high efficiency power conversion is achieved through the use of synchronous rectification and drive techniques. Essentially, the powerful VPOL5A-5-SMT series topology is based on a non-isolated synchronous buck converter. The control loop is optimized for unconditional stability, fast transient response and a very tight line and load regulation. In a typical pre-bias application the VPOL5A-5SMT series converters do not draw any reverse current at start-up. The output voltage can be adjusted from 0.75 to 3.63vdc, using the TRIM pin with a external resistor. The converter can be shut down via a remote on/off input that is referenced to ground. This input is compatible with popular logic devices; a 'positive' logic input is supplied as standard. Positive logic implies that the converter is enabled if the remote on/off input is high (or floating), and disabled if it is low. The converter is also protected against over-temperature conditions. If the converter is overloaded or the ambient temperature gets too high, the converter will shut down to protect the unit. 20050 SW 112th Ave. Tualatin, Oregon 97062 phone 503.612.2300 fax 503.612.2382 rev. page date 3 of 11 08/2007 PART NUMBER: VPOL5A-5-SMT DESCRIPTION: point of load converter 4.

Main Features and Functions 5.1 Operating Temperature Range V-Infinity’s VPOL5A-5-SMT series converters highly efficient converter design has resulted in its ability to operate over a wide ambient temperature environment ( -40 to 85 ). Due consideration must be given to the de-rating curves when ascertaining maximum power that can be drawn from the converter. The maximum power drawn is influenced by a number of factors, such as: Input voltage range. Output load current. Air velocity (forced or natural convection). Mounting orientation of converter PCB with respect to the Airflow. Motherboard PCB design, especially ground and power planes. These can be effective heat sinks for the converter. 5.4 Safe Operating Area (SOA) Figure 2 provides a graphical representation of the Safe Operating Area (SOA) of the converter. This representation assumes ambient operating conditions such as airflow are met as per thermal guidelines provided in Sections 7.2 and 7.3. Vo Vo,nom VOLTAGE (V) Safe Operating Area 5.2 Over-Temperature Protection (OTP) The VPOL5A-5-SMT Series converters are equipped with non-latching over-temperature protection. A te mperature sensor monitors the temperature of the hot spot (typically, top switch). If the temperature exceeds a threshold of 120 C (typical) the converter will shut down, disabling the output. When the temperature has decreased the converter will automatically restart. The over-temperature condition can be induced by a variety of reasons such as external overload condition or a system fan failure. Io,max Io,CL Io CURRENT (A) Figure 2. Maximum Output Current Safe Operating Area 5.5 Over Current Protection All different voltage models have a full continuous short-circuit protection. The unit will auto recover once the short circuit is removed. To provide protection in a fault condition, the unit is equipped with internal overcurrent protection. The unit operates normally once the fault condition is removed. The power module will supply up to 150% of rated current. In the event of an over current converter will go into a hiccup mode protection. 5.3 Output Voltage Adjustment Section 7.8 describes in detail as to how to trim the output voltage with respect to its set point. The output voltage on all models is trimmable in the range 0.75 – 3.63 Vdc. 5.6 Remote On/Off The remote on/off input feature of the converter allows external circuitry to turn the converter ON or OFF. Active-high remote on/off is available as standard. The VPOL5A-5-SMT series converters are turned on if the remote on/off pin is high, or left open or floating. Setting the pin low will turn the converter ‘Off’. The signal level of the remote on/off input is defined with respect to ground. If not using the remote on/off pin, leave the pin open (module will be on). The part number suffix “N” is Negative remote on/off version. The unit is guaranteed OFF over the full temperature range if this voltage level exceeds 2.8 Vdc. The converters are turned on If the on/off pin input is low or left open. The recommended SMTremote on/off drive circuit as shown as figure 3, 4. 20050 SW 112th Ave. Tualatin, Oregon 97062 phone 503.612.2300 fax 503.612.2382 rev. page date 6 of 11 08/2007 PART NUMBER: VPOL5A-5-SMT DESCRIPTION: point of load converter proper low impedance tracks between power module, input and output +Vin Remote ON/OFF +Vo grounds.

Recommended SMT Footprint (Top View) Figure 4. Negative Remote On/Off Input Drive Circuit 5.7 UVLO (Under-Voltage Lockout) The voltage on the Vcc pin determines the start of the operation of the Converter. When the input Vcc rises and exceeds about 2.0V the converter initiates a soft start. The UVLO function in the converter has a hysteresis (about 100mV) built in to provide noise immunity at start-up. 6. Safety 6.1 Input Fusing and Safety Considerations. Agency Approvals: The power Supply shall be submitted to and receive formal approval from the following test agencies. 1.The power supply shall be approved by a nationally recognized testing laboratory to UL/CSA 60950 3 Edition (North America) and EN60950 (International) 2. CB Certificate from an internationally recognized test house in accordance with EN 60950. The VPOL5A-5-SMT series converters do not have an internal fuse. However, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The safety agencies require a time-delay fuse with a maximum rating of 10A. rd 7. Applications 7.1 Layout Design Challenges. In optimizing thermal design the PCB is utilized as a heat sink. Also some heat is transferred from the SMT module to the main board through connecting pins. The system designer or the end user must ensure that other components and metal in the vicinity of the VPOL5A-5-SMT series meet the spacing requirements to which the system is approved. Low resistance and low inductance PCB layout traces are the norm and should be used where possible. Due consideration must also be given to 20050 SW 112th Ave. Tualatin, Oregon 97062 phone 503.612.2300 fax 503.612.2382 rev. page date 7 of 11 08/2007 PART NUMBER: VPOL5A-5-SMT DESCRIPTION: point of load converter TYPICAL POWER DERATING FOR 5Vin 3.3Vout 6.0 5.0 Output Current(A) 4.0 3.0 2.0 1.0 0.0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 o Ambient Temperature( C) 0LFM 100LFM 200LFM Figure 3.

To a void problems with loop stability source inductance should be low. Also, the input capacitors should be placed close to the converter input pins to de-couple distribution inductance. However, the external input capacitors are chosen for suitable ripple handling capability. Low ESR polymers are a good choice. They have high capacitance, high ripple rating and low ESR (typical
