The OKDx-T/12-W12 is a high efficiency, digital
Point-of-Load (PoL) DC-DC power converter
capable of delivering 12A/60W. Designed for a
minimal footprint, the high power-density module
measures just 20.8 x 7.6 x 15.6 mm (0.82 x 0.3 x
0.612 in) (SIP version).
PMBus™ compatibility allows monitoring and
configuration of critical system level performance
requirements. Apart from standard PoL performance and safety features like OVP, OCP, OTP, and
UVLO, these digital converters have advanced features: Adaptive compensation of PWM control loop,
fast loop transient response, synchronization, and
phase spreading. These converters are ideal for use
in telecommunications, networking, and distributed
power applications

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.
Configuration File
This product is designed with a digital control circuit. The control circuit uses a configuration file which determines the functionality and performance of the product.
The Electrical Specification table shows parameter values of functionality and performance with the default configuration file, unless otherwise specified. The default
configuration file is designed to fit most application need with focus on high efficiency. If different characteristics are required it is possible to change the
configuration file to optimize certain performance characteristics. In this Technical specification examples are included to show the possibilities with digital control.
See Operating Information section for information about trade offs when optimizing certain key performance characteristics.

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.
Power Management Overview
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 down-load of your own configurations.
Input Voltage
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.
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:
Eq. 1. I inputRMS = I load D (1 − D ) ,
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.
where I load is the output load current and D is the duty cycle.
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
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 high-frequency 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.
CO = [Cmin , C max ] = [300, 7500] µF.
The decoupling capacitor bank should consist of capacitors
which have a capacitance value larger than C ≥ C min and has
an ESR range of
Eq. 3.
ESR = [ESRmin , ESR max ] = [5, 30] mΩ
The control loop stability margins are limited by the minimum
time constant τ min of the capacitors. Hence, the time constant
of the capacitors should follow Eq. 4.
Eq. 4. τ ≥ τ min = Cmin ESR min = 1.5µ s
This relation can be used if your preferred capacitors have
parameters outside the above stated ranges in Eq. 2 and Eq.3.

the remote sense is not needed +S should be connected to
VOUT and −S should be connected to GND.
Control Loop Compensation
The product is configured with a robust control loop
compensation 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
control loop parameters can be reconfigured using the PMBus
interface.
RSET also sets the maximum output voltage, see section
“Output Voltage Range Limitation”. The resistor is sensed only
during product start-up. Changing the resistor value 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.
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 = (5.5−VOUT) / 2 . A large voltage
drop will impact the electrical performance of the regulator. If

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 Vout is set to 1.10V by Rset=26.1kohm. 1.10V falls
within the bin range 0.988-1.383V, thus specified accuracy is
valid when adjusting Vout 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 pinstrap resistor RSET. The maximum output voltage is set to
110% of the nominal output value defined by RSET,
VOUT _ MAX = 1.1× VOUT _ RSET . This protects the load from an over
voltage due to an accidental wrong PMBus command.
Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The product includes over voltage limiting circuitry for
protection of the load. The default OVP limit is 15% above the
nominal output voltage. If the output voltage exceeds the OVP
limit, the product can respond in different ways:
1. Initiate an immediate shutdown until the fault has been
cleared. The user can select a specific number of retry
attempts.
2. Turn off the high-side MOSFET and turn on the low-side
MOSFET. The low-side MOSFET remains ON until the
device attempts a restart, i.e. the output voltage is pulled to
ground level (crowbar function).
The default response from an overvoltage fault is to
immediately shut down as in 2. The device will continuously
check for the presence of the fault condition, and when the
fault condition no longer exists the device will be re-enabled.
For continuous OVP when operating from an external clock for
synchronization, the only allowed response is an immediate
shutdown. The OVP limit and fault response can be
reconfigured using the PMBus interface.
Under Voltage Protection (UVP)
The product includes output under voltage limiting circuitry for
protection of the load. The default UVP limit is 15% below the
nominal output voltage. The UVP limit can be reconfigured
using the PMBus interface.
Power Good
The product provides a Power Good (PG) flag in the Status
Word register that indicates the output voltage is within a
specified tolerance of its target level and no fault condition
exists. If specified in section Connections, the product also
provides a PG signal output. The PG pin is active high and by
default open-drain but may also be configured as push-pull via
the PMBus interface.
By default, the PG signal will be asserted when the output
reaches above 90% of the nominal voltage, and de-asserted
when the output falls below 85% of the nominal voltage. These
limits may be changed via the PMBus 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
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 the control
loop must be re-designed 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 15°C below
the over temperature threshold. The specified OTP level and
hysteresis are valid for worst case operation regarding cooling
conditions, input voltage and output voltage. This means the
OTP level and hysteresis in many cases will be lower. The
OTP level, hysteresis, and fault response of the product can be
reconfigured using the PMBus interface. The fault response
can be configured as follows:
1. Initiate a shutdown and attempt to restart an infinite number
of times with a preset delay period between attempts
(default configuration).
2. Initiate a shutdown and attempt to restart a preset number
of times with a preset delay period between attempts.
3. Continue operating for a given delay period, followed by
shutdown if the fault still exists.
4. Continue operating through the fault (this could result in
permanent damage to the power supply).
5. Initiate an immediate shutdown.
Optimization examples
This product is designed with a digital control circuit. The
control circuit uses a configuration file which determines the
functionality and performance of the product. It is possible to
change the configuration file to optimize certain performance
characteristics. In the table below is a schematic view on how
to change different configuration parameters in order to
achieve an optimization towards a wanted performance.

Thermal Consideration
SIP version
General
The product is designed to operate in different thermal
environments and sufficient cooling must be provided to
ensure reliable operation.
Cooling is achieved mainly by conduction, from the pins to the
host board, and convection, which is dependant on the airflow
across the product. Increased airflow enhances the cooling of
the product.
The Output Current Derating graph found in the Output section
for each model provides the available output current vs.
ambient air temperature and air velocity at specified VI.
The product is tested on a 254 x 254 mm, 35 µm (1 oz), test
board mounted vertically in a wind tunnel with a cross-section
of 608 x 203 mm. The test board has 8 layers.
Proper cooling of the product can be verified by measuring the
temperature at positions P1 and P2. The temperature at these
positions should not exceed the max values provided in the
table below.
Note that the max value is the absolute maximum rating
(non destruction) and that the electrical Output data is
guaranteed up to TP1 +95°C.

Definition of reference temperature TP1
The reference temperature is used to monitor the temperature
limits of the product. Temperature above maximum TP1,
measured at the reference point P1 is not allowed and may
cause degradation or permanent damage to the product. TP1 is
also used to define the temperature range for normal operating
conditions. TP1 is defined by the design and used to guarantee
safety margins, proper operation and high reliability ot the
product.
Definition of product operating temperature

* For these products the PG pin is internally tied to the VTRK input of
the products’ controller. Typically the VTRK input bias current will be
equivalent to a 50 kohm pull-down resistor. This should be considered
when choosing pull-up resistor for the PG signal.

Unused input pins
Unused SDA, SCL and GCB pins should still have pull-up
resistors as specified.
Unused VTRK or SYNC pins should be left unconnected or
connected to the PREF pin.
Unused CTRL pin can be left open due to internal pull-up.
VSET and SA0/SA1 pins must have pinstrap resistors as
specified.
PWB layout considerations
The pinstrap resistors, RSET, and RSA0/RSA1 should be placed
as close to the product as possible to minimize loops that may
pick up noise.
Avoid current carrying planes under the pinstrap resistors and
the PMBus signals.
The capacitor CI (or capacitors implementing it) should be
placed as close to the input pins as possible.
Capacitor CO (or capacitors implementing it) should be placed
close to the load.
Care should be taken in the routing of the connections from
the sensed output voltage to the S+ and S– terminals. These
sensing connections should be routed as a differential pair,
preferably between ground planes which are not carrying high
currents. The routing should avoid areas of high electric or
magnetic fields.

PMBus interface
This product provides a PMBus digital interface that enables
the user to configure many aspects of the device operation as
well as to monitor the input and output voltages, output current
and device temperature. The product can be used with any
standard two-wire I2C or SMBus host device. In addition, the
product is compatible with PMBus version 1.1 and includes an
SALERT line to help mitigate bandwidth limitations related to
continuous fault monitoring. The product supports 100 kHz
bus clock frequency only. The PMBus signals, SCL, SDA and
SALERT require passive pull-up resistors as stated in the
SMBus Specification. Pull-up resistors are required to
guarantee the rise time as follows:
Eq. 7
τ = RP Cp ≤ 1µ s
where Rp is the pull-up resistor value and Cp is the bus
loading, the maximum allowed bus load is 400 pF. The pull-up
resistor should be tied to an external supply voltage in range
from 2.7 to 5.5 V, which should be present prior to or during
power-up. If the proper power supply is not available, voltage
dividers may be applied. Note that in this case, the resistance
in the equation above corresponds to parallel connection of
the resistors forming the voltage divider.
Monitoring via PMBus
It is possible to monitor a wide variety of parameters through
the PMBus interface. Fault conditions can be monitored using
the SALERT pin, which will be asserted when any number of
pre-configured fault or warning conditions occur. It is also
possible to continuously monitor one or more of the power
conversion parameters including but not limited to the
following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Snap shot parameter capture
This product offers a special feature that enables the user to
capture parametric data during normal operation or following a
fault. The following parameters are stored:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Input voltage
Output voltage
Output current
Internal junction temperature
Switching frequency
Duty cycle
Status registers
The Snapshot feature enables the user to read the parameters
via the PMBus interface during normal operation, although it
should be noted that reading the 22 bytes will occupy the bus
for some time. The Snapshot enables the user to store the
snapshot parameters to Flash memory in response to a
pending fault as well as to read the stored data from Flash
memory after a fault has occurred. Automatic store to Flash
memory following a fault is triggered when any fault threshold
level is exceeded, provided that the specific fault response is
to shut down. Writing to Flash memory is not allowed if the
device is configured to restart following the specific fault
condition. It should also be noted that the device supply
voltage must be maintained during the time the device is
writing data to Flash memory; a process that requires between
700-1400 μs depending on whether the data is set up for a
block write. Undesirable results may be observed if the input
voltage of the product drops below 3.0 V during this process.

In the default configuration monitoring is enabled also when

limited to 128. Therefore, the user should use index values 0 4 on the SA1 pin and the full range of index values on the SA0
pin, which will provide 125 device address combinations.

I2C/SMBus – Timing
Setup and hold times timing diagram
The setup time, tset, is the time data, SDA, must be stable
before the rising edge of the clock signal, SCL. The hold time
thold, is the time data, SDA, must be stable after the rising edge
of the clock signal, SCL. If these times are violated incorrect
data may be captured or meta-stability may occur and the bus
communication may fail. When configuring the product, all
standard SMBus protocols must be followed, including clock
stretching. Refer to the SMBus specification, for SMBus
electrical and timing requirements.
This product does not support the BUSY flag in the status
commands to indicate product being too busy for SMBus
response. Instead a bus-free time delay according to this
specification must occur between every SMBus transmission
(between every stop & start condition). In case of storing the
RAM content into the internal non-volatile memory an
additional delay of 20 ms has to be inserted.

Soldering Information - Surface Mounting
Lead-free (Pb-free) solder processes
The surface mount product is intended for forced convection or
vapor phase reflow soldering in SnPb or Pb-free processes.
For Pb-free solder processes, a pin temperature (TPIN) in
excess of the solder melting temperature (TL, 217 to 221°C for
SnAgCu solder alloys) for more than 30 seconds and a peak
temperature of 235°C on all solder joints is recommended to
ensure a reliable solder joint.
The reflow profile should be optimised to avoid excessive
heating of the product. It is recommended to have a sufficiently
extended preheat time to ensure an even temperature across
the host PCB and it is also recommended to minimize the time
in reflow.
A no-clean flux is recommended to avoid entrapment of
cleaning fluids in cavities inside the product or between the
product and the host board, since cleaning residues may affect
long time reliability and isolation voltage.

Pin 2A for measurement of minimum Pin (solder
joint) temperature TPIN
SnPb solder processes
For SnPb solder processes, a pin temperature (TPIN) in excess
of the solder melting temperature, (TL, 183°C for Sn63Pb37) for
more than 30 seconds and a peak temperature of 210°C is
recommended to ensure a reliable solder joint.
For dry packed products only: depending on the type of solder
paste and flux system used on the host board, up to a
recommended maximum temperature of 245°C could be used,
if the products are kept in a controlled environment (dry pack
handling and storage) prior to assembly.

Soldering Information - Hole Mounting
The hole mounted product is intended for plated through hole
mounting by wave or manual soldering. The pin temperature is
specified to maximum to 270°C for maximum 10 seconds.
A maximum preheat rate of 4°C/s and maximum preheat
temperature of 150°C is suggested. When soldering by hand, care
should be taken to avoid direct contact between the hot soldering
iron tip and the pins for more than a few seconds in order to prevent
overheating.
A no-clean flux is recommended to avoid entrapment of cleaning
fluids in cavities inside the product or between the product and the
host board. The cleaning residues may affect long time reliability
and isolation voltage.
