Theory of Operation
Synchronous Buck Converter
The EN5366 is a synchronous, programmable
power supply with integrated power MOSFET
switches and integrated inductor. The nominal
input voltage range is 2.4-5.5V. The output
voltage is programmed using an external resistor
divider network. The feedback control loop is a
type III voltage-mode and the part uses a lownoise PWM topology. Up to 6A of continuous
output current can be drawn from this converter.
The 5MHz operating frequency enables the use
of small-size input and output capacitors.
The power supply has the following protection
features:
• Programmable over-current protection (to
protect the IC from excessive load
current).
• Short Circuit protection.
• Thermal shutdown with hysteresis.
• Programmable over-voltage protection.
• Under-voltage lockout circuit to disable the
converter output when the input voltage is
less than approximately 2.2V
values be ~2k. Use the following equation to
set the resistor Ra1 for the desired output
voltage:
(Vout − 0.75V ) * Rb1
0.75V
Ra1 =
If over-voltage protection is desired, use the
following equation to set the resistor Ra2 for the
desired OVP trip-point:
Ra 2 =
(OVPtrip − 0.90V ) * Rb2
0.90V
By design, if both resistor dividers are the same,
the OV trip-point will be 20% above the nominal
output voltage.

whether the output voltage is between
90% of nominal VOUT and the OVP trip
point.
Output Voltage Programming
The EN5366 output voltage is programmed using
a simple resistor divider network. Figure 4 shows
the resistor divider configuration.
The EN5366 output voltage and over voltage
thresholds are determined by the voltages
presented at the XFB and XOV pins respectively.
These voltages are set by way of resistor dividers
between VOUT and AGND with the midpoint going
to XFB and XOV.
Input Capacitor Selection
The EN5366QI requires about 40-50uF of input
capacitance. Low ESR ceramic capacitors are
required with X5R or X7R dielectric formulation.
Y5V or equivalent dielectric formulations must
not be used as they lose capacitance with
frequency, temperature and bias voltage.
In some applications, lower value ceramic
capacitors maybe needed in parallel with the
larger capacitors in order to provide high
frequency decoupling.

In some cases modifications to the compensation
may be required. The EN5366QI provides the
capability to modify the control loop to allow for
customization for a given application. For more
information, contact Altera Power Applications

Enable Operation
Output ripple voltage is primarily determined by
the aggregate output capacitor impedance. At

denoted as Z, is comprised mainly of effective
series resistance, ESR, and effective series

optimized for use with about 50μF of output

bandwidth and transient performance for most
applications. Voltage mode operation provides

impedance matching to sub 90nm loads.

The ENABLE pin provides a means to shut down
the device, or enable normal operation. A logic
low will disable the converter and cause it to shut
down. A logic high will enable the converter into
normal operation. When the ENABLE pin is
asserted high, the device will undergo a normal
soft start.
Soft-Start Operation
The SS pin in conjunction with a small capacitor
between this pin and AGND provides the soft
start function to limit the in-rush current during
start-up. During start-up of the converter the
reference voltage to the error amplifier is
gradually increased to its final level by an internal
current source of typically 10uA charging the soft
start capacitor. The typical soft-start time for the
output to reach regulation voltage, from when
AVIN > VUVLO and Enable crosses its logic high
threshold, is given by:
Typical ripple versus capacitor arrangement is
given below:

Compensation
The EN5366 is internally compensated through
TSS = CSS * 75KΩ (seconds)
Where the soft-start time TSS is in seconds and
the soft-start capacitance CSS is in Farads.
Typically, a capacitor of around 15nF is
recommended.
During the soft-start cycle, when the soft-start
capacitor reaches 0.75V, the output has reached
its programmed regulation range. Note that the
soft-start current source will continue to operate,
and during normal operation, the soft-start
capacitor will charge up to a final value of 2.5V.

POK Operation
The POK signal is an open drain signal from the
converter indicating the output voltage is within
the specified range. The POK signal will be a
logic high when the output voltage is within 90% 120% of the programmed output voltage. If the
output voltage goes outside of this range, the
POK signal will be a logic low until the output
voltage has returned to within this range. In the
event of an over-voltage condition the POK
signal will go low and will remain in this condition
until the output voltage has dropped to 95% of
the programmed output voltage before returning
to the high state.
POK signal goes low. When the output voltage
drops below 95% of the programmed output
voltage, normal PWM operation resumes and
POK returns to its high state.
Thermal Overload Protection
Thermal shutdown will disable operation when
the Junction temperature exceeds approximately
150ºC. Once the junction temperature drops by
approx 20ºC, the converter will re-start with a
normal soft-start.
Input Under-Voltage Lock-Out
The internal POK FET is designed to tolerate up
to 4mA. The pull-up resistor value should be
chosen to limit the current from exceeding this
value when POK is logic low.
Circuitry is provided to ensure that when the
input voltage is below the required voltage level
(VUVLO) for normal operation, the converter will
not start-up. Circuits for hysteresis and input deglitch are included to ensure high noise immunity
and to prevent false tripping.
Over-Current Protection
Parallel Device Operation
The current limit function is achieved by sensing
the current flowing through a sense P-MOSFET.
When the sensed current exceeds the current
limit, both NFET and PFET switches are turned
off. If the over-current condition is removed, the
over-current protection circuit will re-enable the
PWM operation. If the over-current condition
persists, the circuit will continue to protect the
load.
The EN5366QI is capable of paralleling up to a
total of four converters to provide up to 24A of
continuous current. Please consult Paralleling
Circuit Design with EN5365/66 for more details
and recommendations.
The OCP trip point is nominally set to 150% of
maximum rated load. For diagnostic purposes, it
is possible to increase the OCP trip point to
approximately 200% of the maximum rated load
by connecting a 10k resistor between the
ROCP pin (pin 38) and AGND (pin 39). This is
intended for troubleshooting purposes only and
the specification is not guaranteed.
Over-Voltage Protection
When the output voltage exceeds 120% of the
programmed output voltage, the PWM operation
stops, the lower N-MOSFET is turned on and the
Power-Up/Down Sequencing
During power-up, ENABLE should not be
asserted before PVIN, and PVIN should not be
asserted before AVIN. The PVIN should never
be powered when AVIN is off. During power
down, the AVIN should not be powered down
before the PVIN. Tying PVIN and AVIN or all
three pins (AVIN, PVIN, ENABLE) together
during power up or power down meets these
requirements.
Pre-Bias Start-up
The EN5366QI does not support startup into a
pre-biased condition. Be sure the output
capacitors are not charged or the output of the
EN5366QI is not pre-biased when the EN5366QI
is first enabled.

Recommendation 1: Input and output filter
capacitors should be placed as close to the
EN5366QI package as possible to reduce EMI
from input and output loop currents. This
reduces the physical area of the Input and
Output AC current loops.
These vias can be the same size as the
thermal vias discussed in recommendation 3.
Recommendation 5: The system ground
plane referred to in recommendations 3 and 4
should be the first layer immediately below the
surface layer. This ground plane should be
continuous and un-interrupted below the
converter and the input/output capacitors
shown in figure 6.
Recommendation 2: Place a slit in the
input/output capacitor ground copper starting
just below the common connection point of the
device GND pins as shown in figures 5 and 6.
Recommendation 6: As with any switch-mode
DC/DC converter, do not run sensitive signal or
control lines underneath the converter
package.
Recommendation 3: The large thermal pad
underneath the component must be connected
to the system ground plane through as many
vias as possible. The drill diameter of the vias
should be less than 0.33mm, and the vias must
have at least 1 oz. copper plating on the inside
wall, making the finished hole size around
0.26mm. This connection provides the path for
heat dissipation from the converter. Please see
figures 6, 7, and 8.
Please refer to the Gerber files and
summarized layout notes available at
www.altera.com/enpirion for more layout
details.
NOTE: Figures 5 and 6 show only the critical
components and traces for a minimum footprint
layout. ENABLE, Vout-programming, and
other small signal pins need to be connected
and routed according to the specific
application.
Recommendation 4: Multiple small vias
should be used to connect ground terminal of
the input capacitor and output capacitors to the
system ground plane as shown in figure 6.

Design Considerations for Lead-Frame Based Modules
Exposed Metal on Bottom Of Package
Lead frame offers many advantages in thermal performance, in reduced electrical lead resistance, ,
and in overall foot print. However, they do require some special considerations.
In the assembly process lead frame construction requires that, for mechanical support, some of the
lead-frame cantilevers be exposed at the point where wire-bond or internal passives are attached.
This results in several small pads being exposed on the bottom of the package.
Only the large thermal pad and the perimeter pads are to be mechanically or electrically connected to
the PC board. The PCB top layer under the EN5366QI should be clear of any metal except for the
large thermal pad. The “grayed-out” area in Figure 7 represents the area that should be clear of any
metal (traces, vias, or planes), on the top layer of the PCB.
Figure 8 demonstrates the recommended PCB footprint for the EN5366QI. Figure 9 shows the shape
and location of the exposed metal pads as well as the mechanical dimension of the large thermal pad
and the pins.
Ground copper my extend under this pad.
However, DO NOT CONNECT (NC)

electrically connected to the PCB.
