PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Synchonization & phase spreading
The OKDx-T/50-W12 series are high efficiency, digital point-of-Load (PoL) DC-DC
power converters capable of delivering
50A/165W. Available in three different package formats, through-hole, single-in-line,
and surface mount, these converters have a
typical efficiency of 97.2%. PMBus™ compatibility allows monitoring and configuration of
critical system-level performance require-
ments. Apart from standard PoL performance
and safety features like OVP, OCP, OTP, and
UVLO, these digital converters have advanced
features: digital current sharing (full power,
no derating), non-linear transient response,
optimized dead time control, synchronization,
and phase spreading. These converters are
ideal for use in telecommunications, networking, and distributed power applications.

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 standoff 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.
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 download 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.
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.
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 default response from a turn-off is an immediate shutdown of the
The most effective technique is to locate low ESR ceramic and electrolytic
device. The device will continuously check for the presence of the fault
capacitors as close to the load as possible, using several capacitors in
condition. If the fault condition is no longer present, the product will be reenabled. The turn-on and turn-off levels and response can be reconfigured parallel to lower the effective ESR. The ceramic capacitors will handle highfrequency dynamic load changes while the electrolytic capacitors are used
using the PMBus interface.

also reduce high frequency noise at the load.

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.
Dynamic Loop Compensation (DLC)
The DLC feature might in some documents be referred to as “Auto
Compensation” or “Auto Tuning” feature.
The DLC feature measures the characteristics of the power train and
calculates the proper compensator PID coefficients.
The default configuration is that once the output voltage ramp up has
completed, the DLC algorithm will begin and a new optimized
compensator solution (PID setting) will be found and implemented. The
DLC algorithm typically takes between 50 ms and 200 ms to complete.
By the PMBus command AUTO_COMP_CONFIG the user may select
between several different modes of operation:
x
x
x
x
Disable
Autocomp once, will run DLC algorithm each time the output is
enabled (default configuration)
Autocomp every second will initiate a new DLC algorithm each 1
second
Autocomp every minute will initiate a new DLC algorithm every
minute.
The DLC can also be configured to run once only after the first ramp up
(after input power have been applied) and to use that temporary stored PID
settings in all subsequent ramps. If input power is cycled a new DLC
algorithm will be performed after the first ramp up. The default setting is
however to run the DLC algorithm after every ramp up.
The DLC algorithm can also be initiated manually by sending the
AUTO_COMP_CONTROL command.
The DLC can also be configured with Auto Comp Gain Control. This scales
the DLC results to allow a trade-off between transient response and
steady-state duty cycle jitter. A setting of 100% will provide the fastest
transient response while a setting of 10% will produce the lowest jitter.
The default is 50%.
Changing DLC and PID Setting
Some caution must be considered while DLC is enabled and when it is
changed from enabled or disabled.
When operating, the controller IC uses the settings loaded in its (volatile)
RAM memory. When the input power is applied the RAM settings are
retrieved from the pin-strap resistors and the two non-volatile memories
(DEFAULT and USER). The sequence is described in the “Initialization
Procedure” section.
When DLC is enabled:
When DLC is enabled, the normal sequence (after input power has been
applied) that a value stored in the user non-volatile memory overwrites any
previously loaded value does not apply for the PID setting (stored in the
PID_TAPS register). The PID setting in the user non-volatile memory is
ignored and a non-configurable default PID setting is loaded to RAM to act
as a safe starting value for the DLC. Once the output has been enabled and
the DLC algorithm has found a new optimized PID setting, it will be loaded
in RAM and used by the control loop.
When saving changes to the user non-volatile memory, all changes made
to the content of RAM will be saved. This also includes the default PID
setting (loaded to RAM to act as a safe starting value) or the PID setting
changed by the DLC algorithm after enabling output. The result is that as
long as DLC is enabled the PID setting in the user non-volatile memory is
ignored, but it might accidentally get overwritten.
When changing DLC from disabled to enabled:
A non-configurable default PID setting is loaded to RAM to act as a safe
starting value for the DLC (same as above).
When changing DLC from enabled to disabled:
When changing DLC from enabled to disabled, the PID setting in the user
non-volatile memory will be loaded to RAM. Any new optimized PID setting
in RAM will be lost, if not first stored to the user non-volatile memory.
When DLC is disabled:
When DLC is disabled and input power has been applied, the PID setting in
the user non-volatile memory will be loaded to RAM and used in the control
loop.
The original PID setting in the user non-volatile memory is quite slow and
not recommended for optimal performance. If DLC is disabled it is
recommended to either:
1. Use the DLC to find optimized PID setting.
2. Use Ericsson Power Designer to find appropriate PID setting.
3. Use Universal PID as defined below.
The Universal PID setting (taps) is:

Note that if DLC is enabled, for best results VI must be stable before
DLC algorithm begins.
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–VO)/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.

voltage. See Ordering Information for output voltage range.

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.
The following table shows recommended resistor values for RSET.
Maximum 1% tolerance resistors are required.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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
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 reoptimized 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
