EZ6303QI Triple Output Module
2.2A DC-DC Buck Module with 2 x 300mA LDOs
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The EZ6303QI is a triple output PowerSoC with one
buck and two low drop-out (LDO) regulators. It has
three separated inputs and outputs. The DC-DC buck
can support up to 2.2A of continuous output current
while the other two outputs are separated 300mA
LDOs.
• Integrated 2.2A Buck Module with 2x300mA LDO
The EZ6303QI employs Intel Enpirion’s lateral
MOSFET technology for monolithic integration and
very low switching loss. The DC-DC switches at
2.5MHz in fixed PWM operation to eliminate the low
frequency noise that is created by pulse frequency
modulation operating modes. The MOSFET ratios are
optimized to offer high conversion efficiency for
lower VOUT settings.
The Intel Enpirion power solution significantly helps
in system design and productivity by offering greatly
simplified board design, layout and manufacturing
requirements. In addition, a reduction in the number
of vendors required for the complete power solution
helps to enable an overall system cost savings.
All Enpirion products are ROHS compliant and leadfree manufacturing environment compatible.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Synchronous Buck Converter
The EZ6303QI is a synchronous, programmable power supply with integrated power MOSFET switches,
integrated inductor and two LDOs. The nominal input voltage range for the buck converter is 2.7V to 3.6V and
1.6V to 3.6V for the LDOs. The output voltage for all three rails can be programmed using external resistor
divider networks. The buck converter uses a voltage-mode type III compensation network. Much of the
compensation circuitry is internal to the device; however, a phase lead capacitor is required along with the
output voltage feedback resistor divider to complete the type III compensation network. The device uses a
low-noise PWM topology. Up to 2.2A of continuous output current can be drawn from this converter. The
2.5MHz switching frequency allows the use of small size input and output capacitors and enables wide loop
bandwidth within a small foot print. The low thermal resistance of the package allows the LDOs continuous
maximum current in the full temperature range.

Precision Enable Operation
The enable (EN, ENL1, ENL2) pins provide means to startup or to shutdown the device. When the enable pin
is asserted high, the device will undergo a normal soft-start where the output will rise monotonically into
regulation. Asserting a logic low on this pin will deactivate the device by turning off the internal power switches
and the POK flag will also be pulled low. Precision voltage reference and comparator circuits are kept powered
up even when the device is disabled. The precision enable circuit ensures the device will enable or disable
within a tight voltage range for both high or low logic. This precision allows accurate sequencing for multiple
power supplies. In order to ensure a known state, the enable pin should be pulled high or low while the device’s
input voltage is above UVLO. When input voltage decays slowly and the device is operating below the
minimum operating voltage, switching chatter may occur due to insufficient voltage. In order to avoid chatter
during power down, a resistor divider may be connected on the enable pin to power down the switching DCDC regulator.

Soft-Start Operation
DC-DC Buck:
The soft-start circuitry will reduce inrush current during startup as the regulator charges the output voltage up
to nominal level gradually. The DC-DC buck output rise time is controlled by the soft-start capacitor, which is
placed between the SS pin and the AGND pin. When the part is enabled, the soft-start (SS) current generator
charges the SS capacitor in a linear manner. Once the voltage on the SS capacitor reaches 0.6V, the controller
selects the intenral bandgap voltage as the reference. The voltage across the SS capacitor will continue
ramping up until it reaches around 1.27V. The rise time is defined as the time needed by the output voltage to
go from zero to the programmed value. The rise time (tRISE) is given by the following equation:
tRISE [ms] = Css [nF] x 0.065
With a 10nF soft-start capacitance on the SS pin, the soft-start rise time will be set to 0.65ms. The
recommended range for the value of the SS capacitor is between 10nF and 100nF. Note that excessive bulk
capacitance on the output can cause an over current event on startup if the soft-start time is too low. Refer to
the Compensation and Transient Response section for details on proper bulk capacitance usage.
LDO:
The LDOs have fixed internal soft-start. When enabled, the output will rise into regulation in a controlled
manner.
POK Operation
The POK signals (POK, POKL1, POKL2) are open drain signals to indicate if the output voltage is within the
specified range. They each require an external pull-up (10k-100k) to VIN. POK is asserted high when the rising
output voltage exceeds 90% of the programmed output voltage. If the nominal output voltage falls outside
the set range (typically 90% to 110% of nominal) the POK signal will be asserted low by an internal 4mA pulldown transistor.
Over-Current Protection
DC-DC Buck:
The current limit function is achieved by sensing the current flowing through the High Side Switch. When the
sensed current exceeds the over current trip point, both power FETs are turned off for the remainder of the
switching cycle. If the over-current condition is removed, the over-current protection circuit will enable normal
PWM operation. In the event the OCP circuit trips for a given number of consecutive PWM cycles, the device
enters hiccup mode; the device is disabled for about 6.5ms and restarted with a normal soft-start. This cycle
can continue indefinitely as long as the over current condition persists.
LDO:
The LDOs have foldback current limit. When an over-current event is detected, the LDO will limit the amount
of output current that is allowed in order to reduce power dissipation. The foldback current is typically 50%
of the nominal current limit.

Thermal Protection
The thermal shutdown circuit disables the device operation (transistors turn off) when the junction
temperature exceeds 155°C. When the junction temperature drops by approximately 25°C, the converters will
re-start with a normal soft-start. By preventing operation at excessive temperatures, the thermal shutdown
circuit will protect the device from overstress.
Pre-Bias Start-up
The DC-DC buck regulator supports startup into a pre-biased output. A proprietary circuit ensures the output
voltage rises from the pre-bias voltage level to the programmed output voltage on startup. During this softstart period, the voltage rise is monotonic for output voltage range from 0% to 90% of nominal. If the pre-bias
voltage is above 90% on startup, there might be a slight dip (~3%) in output voltage before it rises
monotonically. If the pre-bias voltage is above 100% of nominal during startup, the device will not switch until
the output voltage decays below the target voltage. Note that when the device begins switching and the prebias output voltage is higher than nominal, the bottomside NFET will discharge the output quickly (but limited
to 2-cycles to prevent excessive current) to bring the voltage back into regulation. The pre-bias protection
circuit is designed to prevent improper behavior on startup regardless of the pre-bias output voltage during
soft-start.
Input Under-Voltage Lock-Out
When the device input voltage falls below UVLO, switching is disabled to prevent operation at insufficient
voltage levels. During startup, the UVLO circuit ensures that the converter will not start switching until the
input voltage is above the specified minimum voltage. Hysteresis and input de-glitch circuits are incorporated
in order to ensure high noise immunity and prevent a false trigger in the UVLO voltage region.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Each output rail on the EZ6303QI can be programmed using the feedback reference voltage and a simple
resistor divider network (RA and RB). The DC-DC buck regulator feedback reference voltage is 0.6V and the LDO
feedback reference voltage is 0.9V (VFB = 0.6V, VFBL1 = VFBL2 = 0.9V).

The recommended RA resistor value is shown in Figure 6 and Table 1 for each regulator. Depending on the
output voltage (VOUT), the RB resistor value may be calculated as shown in Figure 6. Since the accuracy of the
output voltage setting is dependent upon the feedback voltage and the external ressitors, 1% or better
resistors are recommended. The recommended external compensation values are shown in Table 1.

Compensation
Most of the DC-DC regulator’s compensation is internal, which simplifies the design. In some applications,
improved transient performance may be desired with additional output capacitors (COUT). In such an instance,
the phase-lead capacitor (CA) can be adjusted depending on the total output capacitance. Using Table 1 as the
reference for CA, if COUT is increased, then the CA should also be increased. The relationship is linearly shown
below:
ΔCOUT ≈ +50µF ΔCA ≈ +5pF
As COUT increases and the CA value is adjusted, the device bandwidth will reach its optimization level (at around
1/10th of the switching frequency). The limitation for adjusting the compensation is based on diminished
return. Significant increases in COUT and CA may not yield better transient response or in some situations cause
lower gain and phase margin. Over compensating with excessive output capacitance may also cause the device
Page 18

Decemeber 11, 2017
Rev A
Advance Datasheet | Intel Enpirion® Power Solutions: EZ6303QI
to trigger current limit on startup due to the energy required to charge the output up to regulation level. Due
to such limitations, the recommended maximum output capacitance (COUT_MAX) is 150µF and the recommended
maximum phase-lead capacitance (CA_MAX) is 47pF.
Input Capacitor Selection
The input of synchronous buck regulators can be very noisy and should be decoupled properly in order to
ensure stable operation. In addition, input parasitic line inductance can attribute to higher input voltage ripple.
The EZ6303QI requires a minimum of 10µF input capacitor on each of the rails. As the distance of the input
power source to the input is increased, it is recommended to increase input capacitance in order to mitigate
the line inductance from the source. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors should be used. The dielectric must be X5R
or X7R rated and the size must be at least 0805 (EIA) due to derating. Y5V or equivalent dielectric formulations
must not be used as these lose too much capacitance with frequency, temperature and bias voltage. In some
applications, lower value capacitors are needed in parallel with the larger capacitors in order to provide high
frequency decoupling. Larger electrolytic or tantalum bulk capacitors may be used in conjunction to increase
total input capacitance but should not be used solely as a replacement for the ceramic capacitors.

Output Capacitor Selection
The output ripple of a synchronous buck converter can be attributed to its inductance, switching frequency
and output decoupling. The EZ6303QI requires a minimum of 47µF output capacitance for the DC-DC buck
regulator and 10µF for each of the LDOs. Low ESR ceramic capacitors should be used. The dielectric must be
X5R or X7R rated and the size must be at least 0805 (EIA) due to derating. Y5V or equivalent dielectric
formulations must not be used as these lose too much capacitance with frequency, temperature and bias
voltage.

Output ripple voltage is determined by the aggregate output capacitor impedance. Output impedance,
denoted as Z, is comprised of effective series resistance (ESR) and effective series inductance (ESL):
Z = ESR + ESL
The resonant frequency of a ceramic capacitor is inversely proportional to the capacitance. Lower capacitance
corresponds to higher resonant frequency. When two capacitors are placed in parallel, the benefit of both are
combined. It is beneficial to decouple the output with capacitors of various capacitance and size. Placing them
all in parallel reduces the impedance and will hence result in lower output ripple.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
Thermal considerations are important elements of power supply design. Whenever there are power losses in
a system, the heat that is generated by the power dissipation needs to be taken into account. The Intel Enpirion
PowerSoC technology helps alleviate some of those concerns.
The EZ6303QI DC-DC converter is packaged in a 4mm x 7mm x 1.85mm 40-pin QFN package. The QFN
package is constructed with copper lead frames that have exposed thermal pads. The exposed thermal pad
on the package should be soldered directly on to a copper ground pad on the printed circuit board (PCB) to
act as a heat sink. The recommended maximum junction temperature for continuous operation is 125°C.
Continuous operation above 125°C may reduce long-term reliability. The device has a thermal overload
protection circuit designed to turn off the device at an approximate junction temperature value of 155°C.
The following example and calculations illustrate the thermal performance of the EZ6303QI with the following
parameters:
VIN = VINL1 = VINL2= 3.3V
VOUT = 2.5V, VOUTL1 = 2.5V, VOUTL2 = 1.8V
IOUT = 2.2A, IOUTL1 = 300mA, IOUTL2 = 300mA
First, calculate the total output power based on all rails.
POUT = VOUT x IOUT = 2.5V x 2.2A = 5.5W
POUTL1 = VOUTL1 x IOUTL1 = 2.5V x 300mA = 0.75W
POUTL2 = VOUT x IOUT = 1.8V x 300mA = 0.54W
Next, determine the input power. For the DC-DC buck regulator we can use the efficiency (η) shown in Figure
7 to determine the input power.

The power dissipation (PD) is the power loss in the system and can be calculated by subtracting the output
power from the input power.
PD = PIN – POUT
= 6.4W – 5.5W ≈ 0.9W
For the LDOs, the input current is approximately equal to the output current (note that the quiescent current
of the LDO is assumed to be negligible).
PDL1 = PINL1 – POUTL1
PDL1 = 3.3V x 300mA – 2.5V x 300mA = 0.24W
PDL2 = 3.3V x 300mA – 1.8V x 300mA = 0.45W
The total power loss is the sum of all losses on all rails.
PDTOTAL = PD + PDL1 + PDL2
PDTOTAL = 0.9W + 0.24W + 0.45W
PDTOTAL = 1.59W
With the power dissipation known, the temperature rise in the device may be estimated based on the theta JA
value (θJA). The θJA parameter estimates how much the temperature will rise in the device for every watt of
power dissipation. The EZ6303QI has a θJA value of 11.5°C/W without airflow.
Determine the change in temperature (ΔT) based on PD and θJA.
ΔT = PDTOTAL x θJA
ΔT ≈ 1.59W x 11.5°C/W ≈ 18.3°C
The junction temperature (TJ) of the device is approximately the ambient temperature (TA) plus the change in
temperature. We assume the initial ambient temperature to be 25°C.
TJ = TA + ΔT
TJ ≈ 25°C + 18.3°C ≈ 43.3°C
The maximum operating junction temperature (TJMAX) of the device is 125°C, so the device can operate at a
higher ambient temperature. The maximum ambient temperature (TAMAX) allowed can be calculated.
TAMAX = TJMAX – PDTOTAL x θJA
≈ 125°C – 18.3°C ≈ 106.7°C
The maximum ambient temperature the device can reach is 106.7°C given the input and output conditions.
Note that the efficiency will be slightly lower at higher temperatures and this calculation is an estimate.

regarding layout. Please refer to this Figure 9 while reading the layout recommendations in this section.
Figure 9: Top PCB Layer Critical Components and Copper for Minimum Footprint (Top View)
Recommendation 1: Input and output filter capacitors should be placed on the same side of the PCB, and as
close to the EZ6303QI package as possible. They should be connected to the device with very short and wide
traces. Do not use thermal reliefs or spokes when connecting the capacitor pads to the respective nodes. The
Voltage and GND traces between the capacitors and the EZ6303QI should be as close to each other as possible
so that the gap between the two nodes is minimized, even under the capacitors.
Recommendation 2: The system ground plane should be on the 2nd layer (below the surface layer). This
ground plane should be continuous and un-interrupted.
Recommendation 3: The large thermal pad underneath the device must be connected to the system ground
plane through as many vias as possible. The drill diameter of the vias should be 0.33mm, and the vias must
have at least 1-oz. copper plating on the inside wall, making the finished hole size around 0.2mm to 0.26mm.
Do not use thermal reliefs or spokes to connect the vias to the ground plane. This connection provides the
path for heat dissipation from the converter. Please see Figure 9.
Recommendation 4: Multiple small vias (the same size as the thermal vias discussed in recommendation 4
should be used to connect ground terminal of the input capacitor and output capacitors to the system ground
plane. Put the vias under the capacitors along the edge of the GND copper closest to the Voltage copper.
Please see Figure 9. These vias connect the input/output filter capacitors to the GND plane, and help reduce
parasitic inductances in the input and output current loops. If the vias cannot be placed under C IN and COUT,
then put them just outside the capacitors along the GND slit separating the two components. Do not use
thermal reliefs or spokes to connect these vias to the ground plane.
Recommendation 5: AVIN is the power supply for the internal small-signal control circuits. It should be
connected to the input voltage at a quiet point. In Figure 9 this connection is made at the input capacitor

furthest from the PVIN pin and on the input source side. Avoid connecting AVIN near the PVIN pin even though
it is the same node as the input ripple is higher there.
Recommendation 6: The VOUT sense point should be connected at the last output filter capacitor furthest from
the VOUT pins. Keep the sense trace as short as possible in order to avoid noise coupling into the control loop.
Recommendation 7: Keep RA, CA, RC and RB close to the VFB pin (see Figure 9). The VFB pin is a high-impedance,
sensitive node. Keep the trace to this pin as short as possible. Whenever possible, connect R B directly to the
AGND pin instead of going through the GND plane. The AGND should connect to the PGND at a single point
from the AGND pin to the PGND plane on the 2nd layer.
Recommendation 8: The layer 1 metal under the device must not be more than shown in Figure 9. See the
following section regarding Exposed Metal on Bottom of Package. As with any switch-mode DC-DC
converter, try not to run sensitive signal or control lines underneath the converter package on other layers.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR LEAD-FRAME BASED MODULES
Exposed Metal on Bottom of Package
Lead-frames offer 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, as shown in Figure 10.
Only the thermal pad and the perimeter pads are to be mechanically or electrically connected to the PC board.
The PCB top layer under the EZ6303QI should be clear of any metal (copper pours, traces, or vias) except for
the thermal pads. The “shaded-out” area in Figure 10 represents the area that should be clear of any metal on
the top layer of the PCB. Any layer 1 metal under the shaded-out area runs the risk of undesirable shorted
connections even if it is covered by soldermask.
The solder stencil aperture should be smaller than the PCB ground pad. This will prevent excess solder from
causing bridging between adjacent pins or other exposed metal under the package.
