Description
Features
The LX7165 is a digitally controlled step‐down regulator
IC with an integrated 40mΩ high‐side P‐channel
MOSFET and a 14mΩ low‐side N‐channel MOSFET. It
features Microsemi’s proprietary constant‐frequency
hysteretic control engine for near‐instantaneous
correction to line/load transients. It does not require
high‐ESR output capacitors and incorporates energy‐
saving “PSM” (Power Save or Pulse Skip Mode) at light
loads, to extend battery life in mobile applications.

The LX7165 has an I C serial interface port for output
voltage margining and monitoring if required (it can
also operate in default mode). In addition it includes
robust fault monitoring functions.
The LX7165 will operate from 3V to 5.5V, and is readily
available in 4 fixed output voltage options: 0.8, 0.9V,
0.95V, and 0.97V (no voltage divider is necessary). After
start up, the reference voltage can be adjusted with I2C
with a resolution 4.7mV between 0.6V and 1.2V. The
output voltage can also be adjusted with an external
voltage divider up to 3.3V.

Layout Recommendations
The LX7165 EVAL Board is a 4‐layer board, the thickness of the board is 63mil in total. The second layer to
top layer is 7mil, the third layer to the bottom layer is 7mil. The recommended BGA PCB layout shown below
requires no microvias or blind vias. Each signal trace can exit the LX7165 directly without any vias under the
device. Also, with the bypass capacitors C2, C3 and C8 implemented as shown it can lower the ESL. Please
see LX7165 User Guide for additional details.

Operation Theory
Basic Operation
The LX7165 compares VOUT voltage to an internal
reference,
VREF. When VOUT is lower than VREF,
the upper switch turns on and the lower switch
off. When VOUT is higher than VREF, the
turns
upper switch turns off and the lower switch turns
on. An internal ramp helps to keep the switching
frequency
constant over a wide range of output
capacitor
values
and parasitic components (i.e.
ESR, ESL). In addition, a frequency control loop
keeps
the switching frequency constant during
continuous conduction mode.
light loads, if enabled, the converter

reduces the switching frequency
and enters discontinuous conduction to optimize
efficiency while ensuring low VOUT ripple voltage.
An integrated I2C bus interface, operating up to
3.4Mbps, adds the following use programmability
to the converter:

Operation Theory (Continued)
Over Current Protection
Negative Voltage Transitions
The LX7165 protects against all types of short
circuit conditions. Cycle by cycle over current
protection turns off the upper switch when the
current exceeds the OCP threshold. When this
occurs, the upper switch is held off for at least
350ns before being allowed to turn on again.
After startup, if VOUT drops below the VOUT
under voltage threshold, a hiccup sequence will be
initiated where both output switches are shut off
for 1.5ms before initiating another soft start cycle.
This protects against a crowbar short circuit. The
VOUT under voltage detection is not active during
start up.
A negative voltage transition occurs when a lower
output voltage is programmed into the VSEL
register, and initiated by asserting the GO bit. In
PSM, the LX7165 will not discharge the output
filter capacitor.
Positive Voltage Transitions
After the initial start up sequence, the output
voltage can be programmed to a new value by
programming the VSEL register bits and then
asserting the GO bit. VREF will transition to the
new value at the programmed slew rate. The
PGOK monitor bit is deasserted during the VREF
ramp time, or when VOUT is outside the error
envelope.

Enabling Regulator from I2C Bus
In addition to the EN pin, the regulator can be
enabled and disabled via the I2C bus by
programming the control register. During disable,
the regulator and most of the support circuitry is
turned off. However, the I2C bus circuitry is still
active and may be programmed.
Switch Node rise rate adjustment
The LX7165 can be programmed to operate in a
lower emissions mode by slowing down the switch
node rise rate. In this mode, the switch node rise
rate will slow down 25%, reducing the switching
frequency harmonic content.

General I C Port Description
LX7165 includes an I2C compatible serial
The
interface, using two dedicated pins: SCL and SDA
for I2C clock and data respectively. Each line is
pulled up to a logic voltage when they
externally
are not being controlled by a device on the bus.
The LX7165 interface acts as a I2C slave that is
clocked by the incoming SCL clock. The LX7165 I2C
port
will support both the Fast mode (400kHz
max) and typically the High Speed mode(3.4MHz
The data on the SDA line must be stable
max).
during the HIGH period of the clock signal (SCL).
The state of the SDA line can only be changed
when SCL is LOW (except for start, stop, and
restart).

START and STOP Commands
When the bus is idle, both SCL and SDA must be
high except in the power up case where they may
be held high or low during the system power up
sequence.
The STX SOC (bus master) signals START and STOP
bits signify the beginning and the end of the I2C
transfer. The START condition is defined as the
SDA signal transitioning from HIGH to LOW while
the SCL line is HIGH. The STOP condition is
defined as the SDA transitioning from LOW to
HIGH while the SCL is HIGH. The STX SOC acts as
the I2C master and always generates the START
and STOP bits. The I2C bus is considered to be busy
after START condition and free after STOP
condition. During data transfer, STX SOC master
can generate repeated START conditions. The
START and the repeated START conditions are
functionally equivalent.

Data Transfers
Data is transferred in 8 bit bytes by SDA with the
MSB transferred first. Each byte of data has to be
followed
by an acknowledge (ACK) bit. The
acknowledged related clock pulse is generated by
master. The acknowledge occurs when the
the
transmitter master releases the SDA line to a high
state during the acknowledge clock. The SDA line
must be pulled down by the receiver slave during
the 9th clock pulse to signify acknowledgment. A
receiver slave which has been addressed must
generate an acknowledgement (“ACK”) after each
byte has been received.
After the START condition, the STX SOC (I2C)
master
sends a chip address. The standard I2C
address is seven bits long. Making the eighth bit a
data direction bit (R/W). For the eighth bit (LSB), a
“0” indicates a WRITE and a “1” indicates a READ.
(For clarification, communications are broken up
into 9‐bit segments, one byte followed by one bit
for acknowledging.) The second byte selects the
register to which the data will be written. The
byte contains data to write to the selected
third
register.
a receiver slave doesn’t acknowledge the
When
slave address, the data line must be left HIGH by
the slave. The master can then generate a STOP
command to abort the transfer. If a slave receiver
does
acknowledge the slave address but,
sometime later in the transfer cannot receive any
more data bytes, the master must again abort the
transfer. This is indicated by the slave generating
the not acknowledge on the first byte to follow.
The slave leaves the data line HIGH and the
master generates the STOP command. The data
line is also left high by the slave and master after a
slave has transmitted a byte of data to the master
in a read operation, but this is a not acknowledge
that indicates that the data transfer is successful.
Data Transfer Timing for Write Commands
In order to help assure that bad data is not written
into the part, data from a write command is only
stored after a valid STOP command has been
performed.
I2C Electrical Characteristics
The minimum HIGH and LOW periods of the SCL
clock specified the I2C Timing Specification table
determine the maximum bit transfer rates of, 400
kbit/s for Fast‐mode devices, and 3.4 Mbits/s for
HS‐mode Plus. Devices must be able to follow
transfers at their own maximum bit rates, either
by being able to transmit or receive at that speed
or by applying the I2C clock synchronization
procedure, which will force the master into a wait
state and stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal.
Of course, in the latter case the bit transfer rate is
reduced.
Figures 22 and Figure 23 show all timing
parameters for the HS & FS‐mode timing. The
‘normal’ START condition S does not exist in HS‐
mode. Timing parameters for Address bits, R/W
bit, Acknowledge bit and DATA bits are all the
same. Only the rising edge of the first SCL clock
signal after an acknowledge bit has a larger value
because the external Rp has to pull‐up SCL
without the help of the internal current‐source.

I2C Interface (Continued)
The HS & FS‐mode timing parameters for the bus
2
lines are specified in the I C Timing Specification
Table. The minimum HIGH and LOW periods and
the maximum rise and fall times of the SCL clock
signal determine the highest bit rate.
With an internally generated SCL signal with LOW
and HIGH level periods of 200ns and 100ns
respectively, an HS‐mode master fulfills the timing
requirements for the external SCL clock pulses
(taking the rise and fall times into account) for the
maximum bit rate of 3.4 Mbit/s. So a basic
frequency of 10 MHz, or a multiple of 10 MHz, can
be used by an HS‐mode master to generate the
SCL signal. There are no limits for maximum HIGH
and LOW periods of the SCL clock, and there is no
limit for a lowest bit rate.
Timing parameters are independent for capacitive
load up to 100 pF for each bus line allowing the
maximum possible bit rate of 3.4 Mbit/s. At a
higher capacitive load on the bus lines, the bit rate
decreases gradually. The timing parameters for a
capacitive bus load of 400 pF are specified in I2C
Timing Specification Table, allowing a maximum
bit rate of 1.7 Mbit/s. For capacitive bus loads
between 100 pF and 400 pF, the timing
parameters must be interpolated linearly. Rise
and fall times are in accordance with the
maximum propagation time of the transmission
lines SDA and SCL to prevent reflections of the
open ends.
