90A Digital PoL DC-DC Converter Series
Typical units
FEATURES
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The OKDx-T/90-W12 series are high efficiency, digital
Point-of-Load (PoL) DC-DC power converters capable
of delivering 90A/162W. Available in three different
package formats, Surface Mount, Through-Hole and
Single-Inline-Package, these converters have a
typical efficiency of 94.3%. 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: 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.

Note 1. There are configuration changes to consider when changing the switching frequency, see section Switching Frequency.
Note 2. A default value of 0 ms forces the device to Immediate Off behavior with TOFF_FALL ramp-down setting being ignored.
Note 3. The specified accuracy applies for off delay times larger than 4 ms. When setting 0 ms the actual delay will be 0 ms.
Note 4. Automatic restart ~280 ms after fault if the fault is no longer present. Continuous restart attempts if the fault reappear after restart. See Operating Information for other fault response options.
Note 5. The set OCP limit applies per phase. The total OCP limit will be twice the set value. Note that higher OCP threshold than specified may result in damage of the module at OC fault conditions.
Note 6. TSW is the switching period.
Note 7. See section Over Temperature Protection (OTP).
Note 8. For VO < 1.0 V accuracy is +/-10 mV. For further exceptions see section Output Voltage Adjust using PMBus.

PMBus Interface
Power Management Overview
This product incorporates a wide range of 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.
The product’s standard configuration is suitable for a wide range of 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.
Throughout this document, different PMBus commands are referenced. A
detailed description of each command is provided in the appendix at the end of
this specification.
SMBus Interface
The product can be used with any standard two-wire I2C or SMBus host
device. See Electrical Specification for allowed clock frequency range. In
addition, the product is compatible with PMBus version 1.2 and includes an
SALERT line to help mitigate limitations related to continuous fault monitoring.
The PMBus signals SCL, SDA and SALERT require passive pull-up resistors as
stated in the SMBus Specification. Pull-up resistors values should be selected
to guarantee the rise time according to equation below:
τ = RP C p ≤ 1µs
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 2.5 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.
PMBus Addressing
The PMBus address is configured with a resistor connected between the SA
pin and the PREF pin, as shown in the Typical Application Circuit.
Recommended resistor values are shown in the table below. 1% tolerance
resistors are required.

be stable after the falling 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. All standard SMBus protocols must be followed,
including clock stretching. Refer to the SMBus specification, for SMBus
electrical and timing requirements.
This product supports the BUSY flag in the status commands to indicate
product being too busy for SMBus response. A bus-free time delay according
to this specification must occur between every SMBus transmission (between
every stop & start condition).
The product supports PEC (Packet Error Checking) according to the SMBus

Operating Information
90A Digital PoL DC-DC Converter Series
Input Voltage
The input voltage range 7.5 - 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.
Input Under Voltage Protection (IUVP)
The product monitors the input voltage and will turn-on and turn-off at
configured thresholds (see Electrical Specification). The turn-on input voltage
threshold is set higher than the corresponding turn-off threshold. Hence, there
is a hysteresis between turn-on and turn-off input voltage levels. Once the
input voltage falls below the turn-off threshold, the device can respond in
several ways as follows:
1.
Immediate and definite shutdown of output voltage until the fault is
cleared by PMBus command CLEAR_FAULTS or the output voltage is reenabled.
2.
Immediate shutdown of output voltage while the input voltage is below
the turn-on threshold. Operation resumes automatically and the output is
enabled when the input voltage has risen above the turn-on threshold.
The default response is option 2. The IUVP function can be reconfigured using
the PMBus commands VIN_UV_FAULT_LIMIT (turn-off threshold),
VIN_UV_WARN_LIMIT (turn-on threshold) and VIN_UV_FAULT_RESPONSE.
For products configured to operate in current sharing mode, response option 1
will always be used, regardless of VIN_UV_FAULT_RESPONSE command
settings.
Input Over Voltage Protection (IOVP)
The product monitors the input voltage continuously and will respond as
configured when the input voltage rises above the configured threshold level
(see Electrical Specification). Refer to section “Input Under Voltage Protection”
for functionality, response configuration options and default setting.
The IOVP function can be reconfigured using the PMBus commands
VIN_OV_FAULT_LIMIT (turn-off threshold), VIN_OV_WARN_LIMIT (turn-on
threshold) and VIN_OV_FAULT_RESPONSE.
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. If the input voltage source contains significant
inductance, the addition of a capacitor with low ESR at the input of the product
will ensure stable operation.
External Input Capacitors
The product is a two-phase converter which gives lower input ripple than a
single phase design, see picture below. Thus, ripple-current-rating
requirements for the input capacitors are lower relatively to a single phase
converter.
The input ripple RMS current in a two-phase buck converter can be estimated
to
I inputRMS = I load D(0.5 − D )
(valid for D < 0.5)
Where I load is the output load current and D is the duty cycle. The maximum
load ripple current becomes I load/4. 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.
For most applications non-tantalum capacitors are preferred due to the
robustness of such capacitors to accommodate high inrush currents of
systems being powered from very low impedance sources. It is recommended
to use a combination of ceramic capacitors and low-ESR electrolytic/polymer
bulk capacitors. The low ESR of ceramic capacitors effectively limits the input
ripple voltage level, while the bulk capacitance minimizes deviations in the
input voltage at large load transients.
If several products are connected in a phase spreading setup the amount of
input ripple current, and capacitance per product, can be reduced.
Ceramic input capacitors must be placed close to the input pins of a converter
and with low impedance connections to the VIN and GND pins in order to be
effective.
External Output Capacitors
The output capacitor requirement depends on two considerations; output ripple
voltage and load transient response. To achieve low ripple voltage, the output
capacitor bank must have a low ESR value, which is achieved with ceramic
output capacitors. A low ESR value is critical also for a small output voltage
deviation during load transients. Designs with smaller load transients can use
fewer capacitors and designs with more dynamic load content will require
more load capacitors to minimize output voltage deviation. Improved transient
response can also be achieved by adjusting the settings of the control loop of
the product. Adding output capacitance decreases loop band-width.
It is recommended to place low ESR ceramic and low ESR electrolytic/polymer
capacitors as close to the load as possible, using several capacitors in parallel
to lower the effective ESR. It is important to use low resistance and low
inductance PCB layouts in order for capacitance to be effective.

Dynamic Loop Compensation (DLC)
The typical design of regulated power converters includes a control function
with a feedback loop that can be closed using either analog or digital
circuits. The feedback loop is required to provide a stable output voltage, but
should be optimized for the output filter to maintain output voltage regulation
during transient conditions such as sudden changes in output current and/or
input voltage. Digitally controlled converters allow one to optimize loop
parameters without the need to change components on the board, however,
optimization can still be challenging because the key parameters of the output
filter include parasitic impedances in the PCB and the often distributed filter
components themselves.

Recovery time vs.control loop residual setting and output capacitance.
By default the product is configured with a moderate gain factor to provide a
trade-off between load transient performance and output ripple for a wide
range of operating conditions. For a specific application the gain factor can be
increased to improve load transient response.
Remote Sense
The product has remote sense to compensate the voltage drops between the
output and the point of load. The sense traces should be laid out as a
differential pair and preferably be shielded by the PCB ground layer to reduce
noise susceptibility. If the remote sense is not used, +S must be connected to
VOUT and −S must be connected to GND.
In cases where the external output filter includes an inductor (forming a pi
filter) according to the picture below, the LEXT/CEXT resonant frequency places
an upper limit on the controller loop bandwidth. If the resonance frequency is
high the sense lines can be connected after the filter (as shown in the picture)
– if the resonant frequency is low and the DC drop from LEXT is acceptable,
sensing before the filter may be better.

Load
Control may be set more or less aggressive by adjusting a gain factor, set by
the PMBus command ASCR_CONFIG. Increasing the gain factor, i.e the control
effort, will reduce the voltage deviation at load transients, at the expense of
somewhat increased ripple on the output. Below graph exemplifies the effect
of the gain factor on the voltage deviation during a load transient. The typical
range of the gain factor is 200 - 600.

Dynamic Loop Compensation has been developed to solve the problem of
compensation for a converter with a difficult to define output filter. This task is
achieved by utilization of algorithms that can identify an arbitrary output filter
based on accurate measurements of the output voltage in response to a very
small excitation signal initiated by the algorithm, or occurring due to the
changes in operating conditions, and automatically adjust feedback loop
parameters to match the output filter.
Control Loop
The products use a fully digital control loop that achieves precise control of the
entire power conversion process, resulting in a very flexible device that is also
very easy to use.
A non-linear charge-mode control algorithm is implemented that responds to
output current changes within a single PWM switching cycle, achieving a
smaller total output voltage variation with less output capacitance than
traditional PWM controllers, thus saving cost and board space.

damage the device and must not be used. A graph below illustrates the
effect of the residual factor on the recovery time after a load transient. Note
that also the gain factor will affect the recovery time.

The CTRL pin can be used with active high (positive) logic or active low
(negative) logic.
The CTRL pin polarity can be reconfigured using the PMBus command
ON_OFF_CONFIG.
The CTRL pin has an internal 10 kΩ pull-up resistor to 5 V. The external device
must have a sufficient sink current ability to be able pull CTRL pin voltage
down below logic low threshold
level (see Electrical Characteristics). When the CTRL pin is left open, the
voltage on the CTRL pin is pulled up to 5 V.
If the device is to be synchronized to an external clock source, the clock
frequency must be stable prior to enabling the output voltage.
Output Voltage Adjust using Pin-strap Resistor
Using an external Pin-strap resistor, RSET, the output voltage can be set to
several predefined levels shown in the table below. Only the voltage levels
specified in the table can be set by RSET. The resistor should be applied
between the VSET pin and the PREF pin as shown in the Typical Application
Circuit. Maximum 1% tolerance resistors are required.

operating range. This functionality can also be used to test of supply voltage
supervisors. Margin limits of the nominal output voltage ±5% are default, but
the margin limits can be reconfigured using the PMBus commands
VOUT_MARGIN_LOW and VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH. Margining is activated by the
command OPERATION and can be used regardless of the output voltage being
enabled by the CTRL pin or by the PMBus.
Output Voltage Trim
The actual output voltage can be trimmed to optimize performance of a
specific load by setting a non-zero value for PMBus command VOUT_TRIM.
The value of VOUT_TRIM is summed with the nominal output voltage set by
VOUT_COMMAND, allowing for multiple products to be commanded to a
common nominal value, but with slight adjustments per load.
Output Voltage Range Limitation
The output voltage range that is possible to set by configuration or by the
PMBus interface is hardware limited by the pin-strap resistor RSET. The
maximum output voltage is set to 115% of the output value defined by RSET.
This protects the application circuit from an over voltage due to an accidental
PMBus command.
The limitation applies to the actual regulated output voltage rather than to the
configured value. Thus, it is possible to write and read back a
VOUT_COMMAND value higher than the limit, but the actual output voltage will
be limited.
The output voltage limit can be reconfigured to a lower than 115% of Vout
value by writing the PMBus command VOUT_MAX.
Output 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. The product
can be configured to respond in different ways to the output voltage exceeding
the OVP limit:
1.
Immediate and definite shutdown of output voltage until the fault is
cleared by PMBus command CLEAR_FAULTS or the output voltage is reenabled.
2.
Immediate shutdown of output voltage followed by continuous restart
attempts of the output voltage with a preset interval (“hiccup” mode).
The default response is option 2. The OVP limit and fault response can be
reconfigured using the PMBus commands VOUT_OV_FAULT_LIMIT,
VOUT_OV_FAULT_RESPONSE and OVUV_CONFIG.
RSET also sets the maximum output voltage; see section Output Voltage Range
Limitation. The resistor is sensed only during the initialization procedure after
application of input voltage. Changing the resistor value during normal
operation will not change the output voltage. See Ordering Information for
output voltage range.
Output Voltage Adjust using PMBus
The output voltage set by pin-strap can be overridden up to a certain level (see
section Output Voltage Range Limitation) by using the PMBus command
VOUT_COMMAND. See Electrical Specification for adjustment range.
Voltage Margining Up/Down
Using the PMBus interface it is possible to adjust the output voltage to one of
two predefined levels above or below the nominal voltage setting in order to
determine whether the load device is capable of operating outside its specified
supply voltage range. This provides a convenient method for dynamically
testing the operation of the load circuit outside its typical
For products configured to operate in current sharing mode, response option 1
will always be used, regardless of this command configuration.
Output 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. Refer
to section Output Over Voltage Protection for response configuration options
and default setting.
The UVP limit and fault response can be reconfigured using the PMBus
commands VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT and VOUT_UV_FAULT_RESPONSE.
Power Good
The power good pin (PG) indicates when the product is ready to provide
regulated output voltage to the load. During ramp-up and during a fault
condition, PG is held low. By default, PG is asserted high after the output has
ramped to a voltage above 90% of the nominal voltage, and deasserted if the
output voltage falls below 85% of the nominal voltage. These

thresholds may be changed using the PMBus commands POWER_GOOD_ON
and VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT.
The time between when the POWER_GOOD_ON threshold is reached and when
the PG pin is actually asserted is set by the PMBus command
POWER_GOOD_DELAY. See Electrical Specification for default value and
range.
By default the PG pin is configured as an open drain output but it is also
possible to set the output in push-pull mode by the command USER_CONFIG.
The PG output is not defined during ramp up of the input voltage due to the
initialization of the product.
Over Current Protection (OCP)
The product includes robust current limiting circuitry for protection at
continuous overload. After ramp-up is complete the product can detect an
output overload/short condition. The following OCP response options are
available:
1.
Immediate and definite shutdown of output voltage until the fault is
cleared by PMBus command CLEAR_FAULTS or the output voltage is reenabled.
2.
Immediate shutdown of output voltage followed by continuous restart
attempts of the output voltage with a preset interval (“hiccup” mode).
