Description
Power-One’s DP7010 is an intelligent, fully programmable step-down point-of-load DC-DC converter integrating
digital power conversion and intelligent power management. The dPOL is used in conjunction with DM73xx Series
Digital Power Manager (DPM), and completely eliminates the need for external components for output voltage
setting, sequencing, tracking, protection, monitoring, error amplifier compensation and reporting. All performance
parameters of the DP7010 are programmable and managed through Digital Power Manager via the industry2
standard I C communication bus and can be changed by a user at any time during product development and
operation. Telemetry data is available in real time and can be accessed over the I²C bus.

At negative (sink) output current (bus terminator mode) the efficiency of the DP7010 degrades resulting in increased internal power
dissipation and switching noise. Therefore maximum allowable negative current under specific conditions is lower than the current determined
from the de-rating curves shown in paragraph.

8V to 14V Input • 0.7V to 5.5V Output
Setup registers 00h through 14h are programmed at
the system power-up. When the user programs new
performance parameters, they are stored in the
DPM, which overwrites the values in the registers
with the new data. Upon removal of the input
voltage, the default values are restored.
DP7010 converters can be programmed using the
2
Graphical User Interface or directly via the I C bus by
using high and low level commands as described in
the ‘”DPM Programming Manual”.

to 5.5 V. The resolution is constant across the range
and is 2.5 mV. A Total of 3 registers are provided:
one should be used for the normal setpoint voltage;
Page 10 of 35

8V to 14V Input • 0.7V to 5.5V Output
the other two can be used to define a low/high
margining voltage setpoint. Note that each register is
16bit wide and that the high byte needs always to be
written / read first. The writing of the low byte triggers
the refresh of the whole 16bit register (the high byte
is written to a shadow register).

Unlike other configuration registers, the dPOL
controller's VOS registers are dynamic. Changes to
VOS values can be made while the output is enabled
over the I2C bus through register bypass commands
and the dPOL will change its output immediately.

Output Voltage Margining
If the output voltage needs to be varied by a certain
percentage, the margining function can be utilized.
The margining can be programmed in the dPOL

Load Regulation Control
Load Regulation provides for dynamic output voltage
change proportional to load current. This feature
helps to improve step load response by changing the
VI characteristic slope at the point of regulation. This
can be programmed in the GUI Output Configuration
2
window shown in Figure 7 or directly via the I C bus
by writing into the CLS register shown in Figure 25.
Load Regulation can be set to one of eight values: 0,
0.74, 1.48, 2.22, 2.96, 3.71, 4.45, or 5.19 mv/A.
Figure 10 shows a DP7010 dPOL with 0 mv/A (load
current) regulation. Alternating high and low output
load currents causes large transients in Vout to
appear with each change.
In order to properly margin dPOLs that are
connected in parallel, the dPOLs must be members
of one of the Parallel Buses. Refer to the GUI
System Configuration Window shown in Figure 47.
Figure 10 Transient Response with Regulation set to 0 mV/A.
As the Load Regulation parameter is increased, step
offsets in output voltage begin to appear, as shown
in Figure 11.

The Load Regulation parameter is an important part
of Current Sharing. It is used to set one dPOL as a
"master", by assigning a lower mV/A load regulation
than all other dPOLs which share the load as
"slaves". The dPOL with the lowest Regulation
parameter sets the effective overall regulation. (See
Current Sharing elsewhere in this document.)

Sequencing and Tracking
Turn-on delay, turn-off delay, and rising and falling
output voltage slew rates can be programmed in the
dPOL Configure Sequencing window shown in

the DON, DOF, and TC registers, respectively. The

Turn-On Characteristics
Once delays are accounted for, turn-on and turn-off
characteristics are simply a function of slew rates,
which are selectable.
7.3.1
Rising and Falling Slew Rates
Output voltage ramp up (and down) control is
accomplished by programming the rising and falling
slew rates of the output voltage, supported in the
GUI as shown in Figure 12, which is implemented by
the DPM through writing data to the TC register,
Figure 16.
To achieve programmed slew rates, the output
voltage is being changed in 10mV steps where
duration of each step determines the slew rate. For
example, ramping up a 1.0V output with a slew rate
of 0.5V/ms will require 100 steps duration of 20µs
each.
Duration of each voltage step is calculated by
dividing the master clock frequency generated by the
DPM. Since all dPOLs in the system are
synchronized to the master clock, the matching of
voltage slew rates of different outputs is very
accurate as it can be seen in Figure 17 and Figure
22.
During the turn on process, a dPOL not only delivers
current required by the load (ILOAD), but also charges
the load capacitance. The charging current can be
determined from the equation below:

When selecting the rising slew rate, a user needs to
ensure that
ILOAD + ICHG < IOCP
Where IOCP is the overcurrent protection threshold of
the dPOL. If the condition is not met, then the
overcurrent protection will be triggered during the
turn-on process. To avoid this, dVR/dt and the
overcurrent protection
threshold should be
programmed to meet the condition above.

Delay and Slew Rate Combination
The effect of setting slew rates and turn on/off delays
is illustrated in the following sets of figures.

Pre-Bias
In some applications, current leaking from a powered
circuit to an unpowered bus, typically through ESD
protection diodes, will accumulate charge on the
®
unpowered bus filter capacitors. dPWER controller
in the DP7010 holds off turn on its output until the
desired ramp up point crosses the pre-bias point, as
seen in Figure 21.

Rising Slew Rates are V1-1V/ms, V2-0.5V/ms, V3-0.2V/ms.

This figure was captured with an actual system
where a diode was added to pre-bias a 1.5V bus
from a 1.85V bus in order to simulate the effect of
current leakage through protection circuits of
unpowered logic connected to powered logic outputs
(a common source of pre-bias in power systems).

Turn-Off Characteristics
Turn of captures show that combining turn off delays
and ramp rates. Note that while turnoff delays have a
lower upper time limit as compared to turn on delays,
all ramp down rates are available independently to
turn on and off.
Faults in DP7xxx and DP8xxx series sPOLs include
overcurrent protection, overvoltage, overtemperature
and tracking failure detection. Errors include only
undervoltage. Control of responses to Faults and
Errors are distributed between different dPOL
registers and are configurable in the GUI.
Thresholds of overcurrent, over- and undervoltage
detection, and Power Good limits can be
programmed in the GUI Output Configuration

Faults, Errors and Warnings
All dPOL series converters have a comprehensive
set of programmable fault and error protection
functions that can be classified into three groups
based on their effect on system operation: warnings,
faults, and errors. These are warnings, errors and
faults. Warnings include Thermal (Overtemperature
limit near) and Power Good (a warning in a negative
sense.)
BCD.00256 Rev. 1.0, 12 Feb 2013
www.power-one.com
Note that the overvoltage and undervoltage
protection thresholds and Power Good limits are
defined as percentages of the output voltage.
Therefore, the absolute levels of the thresholds
change when the output voltage setpoint is changed
either by output voltage adjustment or by margining.
Overcurrent limits are set either in the GUI dPOL
Output configuration dialog or in the dPOL's CLS
register as shown in Figure 25
Note that the CLS register includes bits which control
the Regulation option settings. When writing into this
register be careful to not change Regulation by
accident.

but rather generate signals that can be transmitted to

7.5.1.1
voltage has reached the steady state level (see
Figure 12). This allows using the PG pin to reset load
circuits properly. The Power Good protection
remains active during margining voltage transitions.
The threshold will vary proportionally to the voltage
change (see Figure 26).
The Power Good Warning pulls the PG pin low and
changes the PG bit of the status register ST to 0.
When the output voltage returns within the Power
Good window, the PG pin is released high, the PG
bit is cleared and the Power Good Warning is
removed. The Power Good pin can also be pulled
low by an external circuit to initiate the Power Good
Warning.
At turn-off the PG pin can be programmed to either
be pulled low immediately following the turn-off
command, or then when the voltage actually starts to
ramp down (Reset vs. Power Good functionality in
Figure 12).
Note: To retrieve status information, Status Monitoring in the GUI
DPM Configure Devices window should be enabled (refer to
Digital Power Manager Data Sheet). The DPM will retrieve
the status information from each dPOL on a continuous
basis.
7.5.2
Faults
This group includes overcurrent, overtemperature,
undervoltage, and tracking protections. Triggering
any protection in this group will turn off the dPOL.
7.5.2.1
Overtemperature Warning
Overcurrent Protection
The Overtemperature Warning is generated when
temperature of the controller exceeds 120°C. The
Overtemperature Warning changes the TW bit of the
status register ST. When the temperature falls below
117°C, the PT bit is cleared and the
Overtemperature Warning is removed.
Overcurrent protection is active whenever the output
voltage of the dPOL exceeds the prebias voltage (if
any). When the output current reaches the OC
threshold, the POL control chip asserts an OC fault.
The dPOL sets the OC bit in the register ST to 0.
Both high side and low side switches of the dPOL
are turned off instantly (fast turn-off).
7.5.1.2
Current sensing is across the dPOLs choke. To
compensate for copper winding TC, compensation is
added to keep the OC threshold approximately
constant at temperatures above room temperature.
Note that the temperature compensation can be
disabled in the dPOL Configure Output window or
2
directly via the I C by writing into the CLS register.
However, it is recommended to keep the
temperature compensation enabled.
Power Good
Power Good (PG) is an open collector output that is
pulled low, if the output voltage is outside of the
Power Good window. The window is formed by the
Power Good High threshold that is programmable at
105 or 110% of the output voltage and the Power
Good Low threshold that can be programmed at 90
or 95% of the output voltage.
Power Good protection is only enabled after the
output voltage reaches its steady state level. A
programmable delay can be set between 0 and
150ms to delay the release of the PG pin after the
BCD.00256 Rev. 1.0, 12 Feb 2013

between different voltage rails which are frequently
recommended by ASIC manufacturers.
Undervoltage Protection
The undervoltage protection is only active during
steady state operation of the dPOL to prevent
nuisance tripping. If the output voltage decreases
below the UV threshold and there is no OC fault, the
UV fault signal is generated, the dPOL turns off, and
the UV bit in the register ST is changed to 0. The
output voltage is ramped down according to
sequencing and tracking settings (regular turn-off).
7.5.2.3
When the tracking protection is enabled, the dPOL
continuously compares actual value of the output
voltage to its programmed value as defined by the
output voltage and its rising slew rate. If absolute
value of the difference exceeds 250mV, the tracking
fault signal is generated, the dPOL turns off, and the
TR bit in the register ST is changed to 0. Both high
side and low side switches of the dPOL are turned
off instantly (fast turn-off).
Overtemperature Protection
Overtemperature protection is active whenever the
dPOL is powered up. If temperature of the controller
exceeds 130°C, the OT fault is generated, dPOL
turns off, and the OT bit in the register ST is changed
to 0. The output voltage is ramped down according
to sequencing and tracking settings (regular turn-off).
The tracking protection can be disabled, if it
contradicts requirements of a particular system (for
example turning into high capacitive load where
rising slew rate is not important). It can be disabled
in the dPOL Configure Fault window or directly via
2
the I C bus by writing into the PC1 register.
If non-latching OTP is programmed, the dPOL will
restart as soon as the temperature of the controller
decreases below the Overtemperature Warning
threshold of 120°C.
7.5.2.4
7.5.3
Faults and Margining
As noted earlier, UV and OV protection settings are
a percentage of Vout. As Vout ramps between
nominal, low or high margin values, UVP and OVP
limits adjust accordingly.This is illustrated in Figure
26. The middle plot of Vo (Vout) level is the result of
a Low Margining command. Note that Tracking is not
re-enabled during changes to Vout from margining
commands.
Tracking Protection
Ramp up and down operations are under control by
the dPOL. Tracking protection, however, is active
only when the output voltage is ramping up. The
purpose of the protection is to ensure that the
voltage differential between multiple rails being
tracked does not exceed 250mV. This protection
eliminates the need for external clamping diodes

PC1: Protection Configuration Register 1
Overvoltage Protection
The overvoltage protection is active whenever the
output voltage of the dPOL exceeds the pre-bias
voltage (if any). If the output voltage exceeds the
overvoltage protection threshold, the overvoltage
error signal is generated, the dPOL turns off, and the
OV bit in the register ST is changed to 0. The high
side switch is turned off instantly, and simultaneously
the low side switch is turned on to ensure reliable
protection of sensitive loads. The low side switch
provides low impedance path to quickly dissipate
energy stored in the output filter and achieve
effective voltage limitation. The OV threshold can be
programmed from 110% to 130% of the output
voltage setpoint, but not lower than 0.5V. Also the
OV threshold will always be at least 0.25V above the
setpoint.

Fault and Error Propagation
The feature adds flexibility to the fault management
scheme by giving users control over propagation of
fault signals within and outside of the system. The
propagation means that a fault in one dPOL can be
programmed to turn off other dPOLs and devices in
the system, even if they are not directly affected by
the fault
7.5.8.1
Fault Propagation
When propagation is enabled, the faulty dPOL pulls
its OK pin low. This signals to the DPM and any
other dPOL connected to that signal, that the dPOL
has a Fault or Error condition. A low OK line initiates
turn-off of other dPOLs connected to the same OK
line with the same turn-off behavior as the faulty
dPOL. The turn-off type is encoded into the OK line
when it transitions from high to low.
7.5.8.2
Note that the turn-off type of the fault as it
propagates through the DPM will remain unchanged.
Propagation options for dPOLs can be read or set in
the dPOL PC3 register shown in Figure 31

Grouping of dPOLs

dPWER dPOLs can be arranged in groups of up to
4, 8, 16 or 32 dPOLs (depending upon the DPM
model used). Membership in a group is set in the
GUI in the DPM / Configure / Devices dialog, and
implemented in hardware by connecting the OK pins
of each dPOL in the group to the matching OK input
on the DPM.

Front End and Crowbar
If an error is propagated to at least the Group level,
the DPM can also be configured to generate
commands to turn off a front end (a DC-DC
converter generating the intermediate bus voltage)
and to trigger an optional crowbar protection to
accelerate removal of the IBV voltage.
7.5.10
Propagation Process
Understanding Fault and Error propagation is easier
with the following examples.
The First example is of of non-propagation from a
dPOL, as shown in Figure 32. An undervoltage error
shuts down the Vo, but since propagation was not
enabled, OK-A is not pulled down and Vo2 stays up.
Figure 33. Turn-On into UVP on V3. The UV Fault Is
Programmed To Be Non-Latching. Ch1 – Vo1, Ch2 –
Vo2(Group A), Ch3 – Vo3 (Group B) Vo4 not shown.
The next example is intra-group propagation, the
dPOL propagates its fault or error events. Here fault
propagation between dPOLs is enabled.
In Figure 34 the dPOL powering output Vo1 again
encounters an undervoltage error. It pulls its OK line
low. Since the dPOL powering output Vo2 (Ch3 in
the picture) belongs to the same group (A in this
case), pulling down OK-A tells that dPOL to execute
a regular turn-off.
Figure 32. No Group Fault Propagation
Figure 33 shows a scope capture an actual system
when undervoltage error detection is set to not
propagate.
In this example, the dPOL connected to scope Ch 1
encounters the undervoltage fault after turn-on.
Because fault propagation is not enabled for this
dPOL, it alone turns off and generates the UV fault
signal. Because a UV fault triggers the sequenced
turn-off, the dPOL meets its turn-off delay and falling
slew rate settings during the turn-off process as
shown in the trace for Ch1. Since the UV fault is
programmed to be non-latching, the dPOL will
attempt to restart every 130 ms, repeating the
process described above until the condition causing
the undervoltage is removed. The 130ms hiccup
interval is guaranteed regardless of the turn-off delay
setting.
BCD.00256 Rev. 1.0, 12 Feb 2013
www.power-one.com
Figure 34 Intra Group Fault Propagation
Since both Vo1 and Vo2 have the same delay and
slew rate settings they will continue to turn off and on
synchronously every 130ms as shown in Figure 35
until the condition causing the undervoltage is
removed.
Page 20 of 35
DP7010 10A DC-DC Intelligent dPOL Data Sheet
8V to 14V Input • 0.7V to 5.5V Output
Note that the dPOL powering the output Vo2 (Ch3)
actually reaches its voltage set point before the error
in Vo1 is detected.
The turn-off type of a dPOL fault/error as propagated
by the faulty dPOL via the OK line is propagated
through the DPM to other dPOLs connected to other
Groups (per configuration in ) through its connection
to their OK line or lines.
This behavior assures that all dPOLs configured to
be affected through Group linkages will switch off
with the same turn-off type.

OK Coding of Faults and Errors
®
dPWER dPOLs have an additional functionality added to the OK line signal. The OK line is used to propagate
and receive information from other devices in the power system belonging to the same group as to the kind of
turn-off procedure a device has initiated because of a fault.
Figure 36 shows the three types of OK encoding. The bubbles show when the SD and OK line logic levels are
sampled by dPOL and the DPM logic.
Figure 36. OK Severity Encoding Waveforms
Note that the OK line state changes are always executed by dPOLs at the negative edge of the SD line.
The chart shows shut down response types as the user can select the kind of response desired for each type of
Fault or Error (within the limits of choice provided for each type of Fault or Error). All dPOL devices in the same
Group are expected to trigger the same turn-off procedure in order to maintain overall tracking of output voltages
in the system. And when fault propagation is set to go from one group to another, the encoding is passed along
un-changed.
7.7
Switching and Compensation
®
dPWER dPOLs utilize the digital PWM controller.
The controller enables users to program most of the
PWM performance parameters, such as switching
frequency, interleave, duty cycle, and feedback loop
compensation.
7.7.1
Switching Frequency
The switching frequency of the DP7010 can be
programmed to either 500KHz or 1MHz in the GUI
PWM Controller window shown in Figure 37 or
directly via the I2C bus by writing into the INT
register shown in Figure 38.
Each dPOL is equipped with a PLL that locks to the
500 KHzSD signal which is generated by the DPM.
This sets up for switching actions to be synchronous
to the falling edge of SD by all dPOLs, which are
thereby kept coordinated to each other.
Figure 37. PWM Controller Window
In some applications, switching at higher frequencies
is desirable even though efficiency is lower, because
it allows for better transient response or lower
application system noise.
Although synchronized to SD, switching frequency
selection is independent for each dPOL, with the
exception of shared load bus groups, where dPOLs
attached to a shared load bus are forced to use the
same frequency by the GUI.

7.7.2
Interleave Selection
Within the same PWM dialog is the switching
Interleave control. Interleave is defined as a phase
delay between the synchronizing slope of the master
clock on the SD pin and the start of each dPOL
PWM cycle. This parameter can be programmed in
the dPOL Controller Configure Compensation
2
window or directly via the I C bus by writing into the
INT register in 22.5° steps.
Figure 40 shows the input voltage noise of the threeoutput system with programmed interleave. Instead
of all three dPOLs switching at the same time as in
the previous example, the switching cycle of dPOLs
V1, V2, and V3 start at 67.5°, 180°, and 303.75° of
phase delay, respectively. Noise is spread evenly
across the switching cycle resulting in more than 1.5
times reduction.

Interleave and Input Bus Noise
When a dPOL turns on its high side switch there is
an inrush of current. If no interleave is programmed,
inrush current spikes from all dPOLs in the system
reflect back into the input source at the same time,
adding together as shown in Figure 39.
Figure 40. Input Voltage Noise with Interleave
7.7.4
Interleave and Current Sharing Noise
Similar noise reduction can be achieved on the
output of dPOLs connected in parallel. Figure 41 and
Figure 42 show the output noise of two dPOLs
connected in parallel without and with a 180°
interleave, respectively. Resulting noise reduction is
more than 2 times and is equivalent to doubling
switching frequency or adding extra capacitance on
the output of the dPOLs.

limit helps deal with transients. However, if this is too

Duty Cycle Limit
The DP7010 is a step-down converter therefore VOUT
is always less than VIN. The relationship between the
two parameters is characterized by the duty cycle
and can be estimated from the following equation:
V
DC = OUT ,
VIN .MIN
Where, DC is the duty cycle, VOUT is the required
maximum output voltage (including margining),
VIN.MIN is the minimum input voltage.
The dPOL controller sets PWM duty cycle higher or
lower than the above to compensate for drive train
losses or to pull excess charge out of the output filter
to keep the output voltage where it is supposed to
be.
A side effect of PWM duty cycle is it also sets the
rate of change of current into the output filter. A high

Feedback Loop Compensation
Programming feedback loop compensation allows
optimizing dPOL performance for various application
conditions. For example, increase in bandwidth can
significantly improve dynamic response.
The dPOL implements a programmable PID
(Proportional, Integral, and Derivative) digital
controller to shape the open loop transfer function for
desired bandwidth and phase/gain margin.
Feedback loop compensation can be programmed in
the GUI PWM Controller window by setting Kr
(Proportional), Ti (Integral), Td (Derivative), and Tv
(Derivative roll-off) parameters or directly writing into
the respective registers (CP, CI, CD, B1). Note that
the coefficient Kr and the timing parameters (Ti, Td,
Tv) displayed in the GUI do not map directly to the
register values. It is therefore strongly recommended
to use only the GUI to set the compensation values.
The GUI offers 3 ways to compensate the feedback
loop:
Auto-Compensation: The GUI will calculate
compensation settings from either information
entered as to output capacitors in the application
Page 24 of 35
DP7010 10A DC-DC Intelligent dPOL Data Sheet
8V to 14V Input • 0.7V to 5.5V Output
circuit, or, if the SysID function has been run, the
frequency response measured through the SysID
function in the target dPOL. This method is usually
sufficient, but is sensitive to accurate accounting of
capacitor values and esr. The GUI displays the
results of running Auto-Compensation as a set of
graphs and compensation values.
Manual Compensation: The GUI supports manually
adjusting feedback compensation parameters. As
the parameters are changed the GUI recalculates
expected frequency and phase performance.
System Identification
(SysID) and
AutoCompensation: Hardware built into the dPOL
controller that injects pseudo random bit sequence
(PRBS) noise into PWM calculations and observes
the response of the output voltage. The GUI collects
this data and calculates actual system frequency
response. Having frequency response data allows
the Auto-Compensation function to have a better
idea of actual output filter characteristics when it
calculates feedback coefficients.
Figure 44. Transient Response with Regulation set to
0.0 mV/A.
As noted earlier, increasing the Load Regulation
parameter provides a droop, or offset, in the output
at the higher current load. This shows up in Figure
45.
Using noise to plumb the output filter requires current
values for compensation be good enough that
injected signal can be extracted from system noise
and the added noise does not trip a fault or error
response. A moderately workable solution for
compensation must be obtained by calculating from
assumed system component values before invoking
SysID.
7.8
Transient Response
The following figures show the deviation of the
output voltage in response to alternating 25 / 75 %
step loads applied at 2.5A/µs. The dPOL converter
switching at 500KHz and had 10 x 22µF ceramic
capacitors connected across the output pins.
Bandwidth of the feedback loop was programmed for
faster transient response.

Load Current Sharing
The DP7010 is equipped with a patented active
digital current share function. Setting up for current
sharing requires both hardware and software
configuration actions.
To set up for the current sharing, interconnect the
CS pins of the dPOLs that are to share the load in
parallel. This pulse width modulated digital signal
drives the output currents of all dPOLs to

Page 25 of 35
DP7010 10A DC-DC Intelligent dPOL Data Sheet
8V to 14V Input • 0.7V to 5.5V Output
approximately the same level (the dominant, or
master dPOL will tend to carry slightly more of the
load than the others).
In addition to the CS interconnection, the DPM must
be informed of the sharing configuration. This is
done in the DPM / Configure / Devices window
shown in Figure 47. Just to the right of each dPOL
address, set the spin control to one of 10 possible
sharing busses (the number is an accounting aid for
firmware.)
The GUI automatically copies common parameters
changed in one dPOL's setup information into all
dPOLs connected to the parallel bus. Some
parameters, such as load sharing, must be set
independently.
7.9.1
CS and Regulation
Load Regulation is an important part of setting up
two or more dPOLs to share load. The dPOL
designated the "master" should have a lower Load
Regulation setting than the other dPOL(s) connected
to its sharing bus.
In operation, the negative CS duty cycle in each
dPOL is proportional to the unit's load current. As the
loading goes up, the negative period gets wider. A
dPOL which sees CS duty greater than its internally
calculated value will increase its output voltage to
increase its load share.
Non-zero regulation, on the other hand, tends to
lower output voltage as loading increases. It also
tends to retard the calculated CS period. The effect
of these two actions, regulation and CS tracking,
cause the dPOL or dPOLS with higher regulation
values to track the loading of the dPOL with a lower
regulation value. The Load Regulation setting
insures the master will carry a slightly higher share of
the common load.
Load Regulation is set in the Device / Configure /
Output dialog as noted earlier. Best sharing is done
when the slave devices have two to three steps
higher Load Regulation values. Less and sharing is
slightly unstable (ripple noise increases), more
regulation and sharing becomes much less equal.
Note that the GUI does not automatically bump up
regulation for dPOLs attached to the same regulation
bus. This must be done by hand. Also, it is
recommended that the dPOL closest to the biggest
load element on the shared output bus be set up to
act as the group's master.
BCD.00256 Rev. 1.0, 12 Feb 2013
www.power-one.com
7.9.2
CS and Interleave
Since shared busses tend to have relatively high
currents, interleaving switching of shared bus dPOLs
is generally desirable. The lowest noise generation is
usually achieved when shared bus dPOL interleave
phasing is set to approximately equally spaced
intervals.
7.10 Performance Parameter Monitoring
dPOL converters can monitor their own performance
parameters such as output voltage, output current,
and temperature.
The output voltage is measured at the output sense
pins, output current is measured using the ESR of
the output inductor and temperature is measured by
the thermal sensor built into the controller IC. Output
current readings are adjusted based on temperature
readings to compensate for the change of ESR of
the inductor with temperature.
A 12-Bit Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) converts
the output voltage, output current, and temperature
into a digital signal to be transmitted via the serial
interface (12Bits for the Voltage, 8 Bits for the
Current and Temperature).
Monitored parameters are stored in registers (VOM,
IOM, and TMON) that are continuously updated in
the DPM at a fixed refresh rate of 1sec. These
2
monitoring values can be accessed via the I C
interface with high and low level commands as
described in the ‘”DPM Programming Manual”.
Shown in Figure 46 is a capture of the GUI System
Monitor while operating the ZM7300 Evaluation
board.
7.10.1
In System Monitoring
In system parametric and status monitoring is
implemented through the I2C interface. The
appropriate protocols are covered in the ZM7300
DPM Programming Manual. The GUI uses the
published commands.
In writing software for I2C bus transactions, it is
important to note that I2C responses are lower in
priority in DPM operation than SD bus transactions.
If an I2C transaction overlaps an SD bus transaction,
the DPM will put the I2C bus on "hold" until it
completes its SD activity. The GUI is aware of this
and such delays are transparent.
When directly polling dPOLs for information, setting
I2C bus timeouts too low can cause hangups where
Page 26 of 35
DP7010 10A DC-DC Intelligent dPOL Data Sheet
8V to 14V Input • 0.7V to 5.5V Output
the DPM is waiting for the I2C master to complete a
transaction and the master has timed out. To avoid
such timeout related problems, set I2C interface
timeout to greater than the time required for polling
all dPOLs, or 150ms (whichever is greater). See the
programming manual referenced above for the
equation used to calculated worst case polling
duration.

Adding dPOLs into the System
®
dPOL converters are added to a dPWER system
through the DPM Configuration/Devices dialog.
Clicking on an empty address location brings up a
menu which allows specifying which dPOL type is
needed. Figure 47 below is an example of a typical
®
dPWER system.
Note that Auto-On, P-Monitor and S-Monitor options
are only configurable by Group, and not by individual
dPOL configuration. These options affect only DPM
behavior. Enabling them does not burden a dPOL.
BCD.00256 Rev. 1.0, 12 Feb 2013
www.power-one.com
Auto-On sets a group to turn on once all IBV power
is available and dPOLs are configured.
P-Monitor enables periodic query of Vout, Iout and
Temp values from each dPOL in the group where it
is enabled (dPOLs will always measure these
parameters in an ongoing basis even if Vout is not
enabled.
S-Monitor enables periodic query of dPOL Status.
While a DPM will always be able to detect a low OK
condition, it requires this option enabled for Monitor
function to query status registers.

Testing Fault and Error Response
®
Included in the architecture of dPWER dPOLs is a
mechanism for simulating errors and faults. This
allows the designer to test their response
configuration without actually needing to induce the
fault.
The Power-One GUI supports this feature in the
Monitor window when monitoring is active (See
Figure 48). When monitoring is off, the Fault Injection
control boxes are disabled and grayed out.
Figure 48. Fault Injection Controls In Monitor Window
Fault injection into a dPOL requires selecting that
dPOL in the POL status dialog in the left column of
the Monitoring dialog window. As long as the
checkbox is checked, the fault trigger is present in
the dPOL. An injected fault is handle by the dPOL in
the same fashion as an actual fault. It therefore gets

Figure 49. Example Overtemp Fault Injection in the GUI
In Figure 49 we see the effects of injecting an
Overtemp (OT) fault. Note that dPOL-0 shows an OT
fault. dPOL-0 and -1 are in the same Group and fault
propagation for the dPOL is to propagate to the
group. dPOL -4 and above are in Groups B and C.
Propagation is not enabled from Group A to B.
The OT fault shows up as an orange indicator in the
dPOL and RUN status LEDs. Group LEDs show
yellow, indicating all of the members of the group
have shut down.
Fault recovery depends whether the fault is a
latching or non-latching fault:
A non latching fault is cleared by unchecking the
checkbox (clears the fault trigger). The dPOL will re-
BCD.00256 Rev. 1.0, 12 Feb 2013
www.power-one.com
start after the 130ms time out of non-latching faults
(hiccup time) (Group and System follows restart).
Latching faults clear in one of two ways. The first
method is to clear the fault trigger (uncheck the
checkbox) (note: the dPOL remains off since the
fault is latching).
Alternately, a latched fault can be cleared by toggling
the EN pin or by commanding the dPOL to turn-off
and turn-off again via the GUI interface (obviously
more convenient). Therefore, once the fault trigger is
cleared, click the “Off” button of the dPOL or Group
(clears the fault, status LEDs turn back to green) and
then the “On” button of the dPOL or Group to reenable it.

Application
Shown in Figure 50 is a block diagram of a multiple dPOL power system. The key interconnections needed
between the DPM and the dPOLs are Intermediate Voltage Bus (IBV), SD, OK (A - D), and, between the first two
dPOLs which share a bus load, their CS connections. Each dPOL has its own output bulk filter capacitors. This
illustrates how simple a dPOL based system is to implement in hardware. SD provides synchronization of all
dPOLs as well as communication. PG, not shown, is optional, though this is usually used with auxiliary power
supplies that are not digitally controlled.
Figure 50. Multi-dPOL Power System Diagram
Shown in Figure 51 is a more detailed schematic of a typical application using a DM7300 series Digital Power
®
Manager (DPM) and at least one DP7010 point-of-load converter (dPOL). Additional dPWER series dPOLs may
be connected (Note SD and OK dashed lines "TO OTHER dPOLS"). As noted earlier, OK connections are
determined by which group a given dPOL is assigned to in the user's application.
In this case the DP7010 is connected to OK-A. Shown connected to the dP7010 OK pin is an optional low value
resistor helpful in some cases for fault isolation.
The type, value, and the number of output capacitors shown in the schematic are required to meet the
®
specifications published in the data sheet. However, all dPWER dPOLs are fully operational with different
configurations of output capacitors. The supervisory reset circuit in the above diagram, U2, is recommended for
systems where the 3.3V supply to the DPM does not turn on faster than 0.5 V/ms.
The DPM does require some passive components which are located close to that part but not shown in the
diagram above.
Note: The DP7010 is footprint compatible with the ZY7010—No change in PCB is needed to upgrade to dPWER
parts. However, configuration data must be altered through the Power-One I2C GUI and programmed into the
®
DPM. When upgrading to dPWER , mixing ZY and DP series devices is not recommended. All parts must be
upgraded.

11. Safety
The DP7010 dPOL converters do not provide
isolation from input to output. The input devices
powering DP7010 must provide relevant isolation
requirements according to all IEC60950 based
standards. Nevertheless, if the system using the
converter needs to receive safety agency approval,
certain rules must be followed in the design of the
system. In particular, all of the creepage and
clearance requirements of the end-use safety
requirements must be observed. These requirements
are included in UL60950 - CSA60950-00 and
EN60950, although specific applications may have
other or additional requirements.
The DP7010 dPOL converters have no internal fuse.
If required, the external fuse needs to be provided to
protect the converter from catastrophic failure. Refer
to the “Input Fuse Selection for DC/DC converters”
BCD.00256 Rev. 1.0, 12 Feb 2013
www.power-one.com
application note on www.power-one.com for proper
selection of the input fuse. Both input traces and the
chassis ground trace (if applicable) must be capable
of conducting a current of 1.5 times the value of the
fuse without opening. The fuse must not be placed in
the grounded input line.
Abnormal and component failure tests were
conducted with the dPOL input protected by a fastacting 65 V, 15 A, fuse. If a fuse rated greater than
15 A is used, additional testing may be required.
In order for the output of the DP7010 dPOL
converter to be considered as SELV (Safety Extra
Low Voltage), according to all IEC60950 based
standards, the input to the dPOL needs to be
supplied by an isolated secondary source providing a
SELV also.
