Stress in excess of Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent
damage. Absolute Maximum Ratings, sometimes referred to as no destruction
limits, are normally tested with one parameter at a time exceeding the limits
in the Electrical Specification. If exposed to stress above these limits, function
and performance may degrade in an unspecified manner.

This product is equipped with a PMBus™ interface. The product incorporates
a wide range of readable and configurable power management features that
are simple to implement with a minimum of external components. Additionally, the product includes protection features that continuously safeguard the
load from damage due to unexpected system faults. A fault is also shown as
an alert on the SALERT pin. The following product parameters can continuously be monitored by a host: Input voltage, output voltage/current, and
internal temperature. If the monitoring is not needed it can be disabled and
the product enters a low power mode reducing the power consumption. The
protection features are not affected.
The product is delivered with a default configuration suitable for a wide
range operation in terms of input voltage, output voltage, and load. The
configuration is stored in an internal Non-Volatile Memory (NVM). All power
management functions can be reconfigured using the PMBus™ interface.
Please contact your local Murata Power Solutions representative for design
support of custom configurations or appropriate SW tools for design and
download of your own configurations.

The input voltage range, 4.5 - 14 V, makes the product easy to use in intermediate bus applications when powered by a non-regulated bus converter or a
regulated bus converter. See Ordering Information for input voltage range.
Layout Recommendations
The radiated EMI performance of the product will depend on the PWB layout and
ground layer design. It is also important to consider the stand-off of the product. If
a ground layer is used, it should be connected to the output of the product and the
equipment ground or chassis.
A ground layer will increase the stray capacitance in the PWB
and improve the high frequency EMC performance.

Input Under Voltage Lockout, UVLO
The product monitors the input voltage and will turn-on and turn-off at configured levels. The default turn-on input voltage level setting is 4.20 V, whereas
the corresponding turn-off input voltage level is 3.85 V. Hence, the default
hysteresis between turn-on and turn-off input voltage is 0.35 V. Once an input
turn-off condition occurs, the device can respond in a number of ways as
follows:
1. Continue operating without interruption. The unit will continue to operate
as long as the input voltage can be supported. If the input voltage continues to fall, there will come a point where the unit will cease to operate.
2. Continue operating for a given delay period, followed by shutdown if the
fault still exists. The device will remain in shutdown until instructed to
restart.
3. Initiate an immediate shutdown until the fault has been cleared. The user
can select a specific number of retry attempts.
The default response from a turn-off is an immediate shutdown of the device.
The device will continuously check for the presence of the fault condition.
If the fault condition is no longer present, the product will be re-enabled.
The turn-on and turn-off levels and response can be reconfigured using the
PMBus™ interface.
Remote Control
Vext
CTRL
GND
The product is equipped with a remote
control function, i.e., the CTRL pin. The
remote control can be connected to
either the primary negative input connection (GND) or an external voltage (Vext),
which is a 3 - 5 V positive supply voltage
in accordance to the SMBus Specification
version 2.0.
The CTRL function allows the product
to be turned on/off by an external device like a semiconductor or mechanical
switch. By default the product will turn on when the CTRL pin is left open and
turn off when the CTRL pin is applied to GND. The CTRL pin has an internal
pull-up resistor. When the CTRL pin is left open, the voltage generated on the
CTRL pin is max 5.5 V.
If the device is to be synchronized to an external clock source, the clock
frequency must be stable prior to asserting the CTRL pin.
The product can also be configured using the PMBus™ interface to be
“Always on,” or turn on/off can be performed with PMBus™ commands.
Input and Output Impedance
The impedance of both the input source and the load will interact with the
impedance of the product. It is important that the input source has low characteristic impedance. The performance in some applications can be enhanced
by addition of external capacitance as described under External Decoupling
Capacitors. If the input voltage source contains significant inductance, the
addition a capacitor with low ESR at the input of the product will ensure
stable operation.
External Capacitors
Input capacitors:
The input ripple RMS current in a buck converter is equal to
Eq. 1.
I inputRMS
I load D 1 D ,
where I load is the output load current and D is the duty cycle. The
maximum load ripple current becomes I load 2 . The ripple current is
divided into three parts, i.e., currents in the input source, external input
capacitor, and internal input capacitor. How the current is divided depends
on the impedance of the input source, ESR and capacitance values in the
capacitors. A minimum capacitance of 300 μF with low ESR is
recommended. The ripple current rating of the capacitors must follow
Eq. 1. For high-performance/transient applications or wherever the input
source performance is degraded, additional low ESR ceramic type
capacitors at the input is recommended. The additional input low ESR
capacitance above the minimum level insures an optimized performance.
Output capacitors:
When powering loads with significant dynamic current requirements, the
voltage regulation at the point of load can be improved by addition of
decoupling capacitors at the load.
The most effective technique is to locate low ESR ceramic and electrolytic
capacitors as close to the load as possible, using several capacitors in
parallel to lower the effective ESR. The ceramic capacitors will handle highfrequency dynamic load changes while the electrolytic capacitors are used
to handle low frequency dynamic load changes. Ceramic capacitors will
also reduce high frequency noise at the load.
It is equally important to use low resistance and low inductance PWB
layouts and cabling.
External decoupling capacitors are a part of the control loop of the product
and may affect the stability margins.
Stable operation is guaranteed for the following total capacitance CO in
the output decoupling capacitor bank where
Eq. 2.
>Cmin , Cmax @ >300, 15000@ μF.
CO
The decoupling capacitor bank should consist of capacitors which has a
capacitance value larger than C t C min and has an ESR range of
Eq. 3.

The control loop stability margins are limited by the minimum time constant
W min of the capacitors. Hence, the time constant of the capacitors should
follow Eq. 4.

20A Digital PoL DC-DC Converter Series
For a total capacitance outside the above stated range or capacitors that do
not follow the stated above requirements above a re-design of the control
loop parameters will be necessary for robust dynamic operation and stability.
Control Loop
The product uses a voltage-mode synchronous buck controller with a fixed
frequency PWM scheme. Although the product uses a digital control loop,
it operates much like a traditional analog PWM controller. As in the analog
controller case, the control loop compares the output voltage to the desired
voltage reference and compensation is added to keep the loop stable and
fast. The resulting error signal is used to drive the PWM logic. Instead of
using external resistors and capacitors required with traditional analog
control loops, the product uses a digital Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID)
compensator in the control loop. The characteristics of the control loop is
configured by setting PID compensation parameters. These PID settings can
be reconfigured using the PMBus™ interface.
Control Loop Compensation Setting
The products without DLC are by default configured with a robust control loop
compensation setting (PID setting) which allows for a wide range operation
of input and output voltages and capacitive loads as defined in the section
External Decoupling Capacitors. For an application with a specific input voltage, output voltage, and capacitive load, the control loop can be optimized for
a robust and stable operation and with an improved load transient response.
This optimization will minimize the amount of required output decoupling
capacitors for a given load transient requirement yielding an optimized cost
and minimized board space. The optimization together with load step simulations can be made using the Murata Power Designer software.
RSET also sets the maximum
output voltage, see section “Output
Voltage Range Limitation.” The
VSET
resistor is sensed only during product
R SET
start-up. Changing the resistor value
PREF
during normal operation will not
change the output voltage. The input
voltage must be at least 1 V larger
than the output voltage in order to deliver the correct output voltage. See
Ordering Information for output voltage range.
The following table shows recommended resistor values for RSET. Maximum
1% tolerance resistors are required.

Load Transient Response Optimization
The product incorporates a Non-Linear transient Response, NLR, loop that
decreases the response time and the output voltage deviation during a load
transient. The NLR results in a higher equivalent loop bandwidth than is possible using a traditional linear control loop. The product is pre-configured with
appropriate NLR settings for robust and stable operation for a wide range of
input voltage and a capacitive load range as defined in the section External
Decoupling Capacitors. For an application with a specific input voltage, output
voltage, and capacitive load, the NLR configuration can be optimized for a
robust and stable operation and with an improved load transient response.
This will also reduce the amount of output decoupling capacitors and yield
a reduced cost. However, the NLR slightly reduces the efficiency. In order to
obtain maximal energy efficiency the load transient requirement has to be met
by the standard control loop compensation and the decoupling capacitors. The
NLR settings can be reconfigured using the PMBus™ interface.
Remote Sense
The product has remote sense that can be used to compensate for voltage
drops between the output and the point of load. The sense traces should be
located close to the PWB ground layer to reduce noise susceptibility. Due to
derating of internal output capacitance the voltage drop should be kept below
VDROPMAX = (5.25 – VOUT) / 2. A large voltage drop will impact the electrical
performance of the regulator. If the remote sense is not needed, +S should be
connected to VOUT and −S should be connected to GND.
Output Voltage Adjust using Pin-strap Resistor
Using an external Pin-strap resistor, RSET, the output voltage can be set in the
range 0.6 V to 3.3 V at 28 different levels shown in the table below. The resistor

Output Voltage Adjust using PMBus™
The output voltage set by pin-strap can be overridden by configuration file or by
using a PMBus™ command. See Electrical Specification for adjustment range.
When setting the output voltage by configuration file or by a PMBus™
command, the specified output voltage accuracy is valid only when the set
output voltage level falls within the same bin range as the voltage level
defined by the pin-strap resistor RSET. The applicable bin ranges are defined
in the table below. Valid accuracy for voltage levels outside the applicable bin
range is two times the specified.
Example:
Nominal VO is set to 1.10 V by RSET = 26.1 kΩ. 1.10 V falls within the bin
range 0.988-1.383 V, thus specified accuracy is valid when adjusting VO
within 0.988-1.383V.

Output Voltage Range Limitation
The output voltage range that is possible to set by configuration or by the
PMBus™ interface is limited by the pin-strap resistor RSET. The maximum
output voltage is set to 110% of the nominal output value defined by RSET,
VO,MAX = 1.1 x VO,RSET. This protects the load from an over voltage due to an
accidental wrong PMBus™ command.
Output Voltage Adjust Limitation using PMBus™
In addition to the maximum output voltage limitation by the pin-strap resistor RSET, there is also a limitation in how much the output voltage can be
increased while the output is enabled. If output is disabled then RSET resistor
is the only limitation.
Example:
If the output is enabled with output voltage set to 1.0 V, then it is only possible
to adjust/change the output voltage up to 1.7- V as long as the output is
enabled.

interface. A PG delay period is defined as the time from when all conditions
within the product for asserting PG are met to when the PG signal is actually
asserted. The default PG delay is set to 10 ms. This value can be reconfigured
using the PMBus™ interface.
For products with DLC the PG signal is by default asserted directly after
the DLC operation have been completed. If DLC is disabled the configured PG
delay will be used. This can be reconfigured using the PMBus™ interface.
Switching Frequency
The fundamental switching frequency is 320 kHz, which yields optimal power
efficiency. The switching frequency can be set to any value between 200
kHz and 640 kHz using the PMBus™ interface. The switching frequency will
change the efficiency/power dissipation, load transient response and output
ripple. For optimal control loop performance in a product without DLC, the
control loop must be re-optimized when changing the switching frequency.
Synchronization
Synchronization is a feature that allows multiple products to be synchronized
to a common frequency. Synchronized products powered from the same
bus eliminate beat frequencies reflected back to the input supply, and also
reduces EMI filtering requirements. Eliminating the slow beat frequencies
(usually
