XR77103
Universal PMIC
3-Output Programmable Buck Regulator
Description
The XR77103 features three high efficiency, wide input range,
synchronous buck converters.
Each converter is digitally
programmable requiring minimal external components, thus providing
the smallest size solution possible.
The converters can operate in 5V, 9V, and 12V systems and have
integrated power switches. The output voltage of each converter can
be adjusted by programming the values in the VOUT setting registers
through the I2C interface. The adjustable range is 0.8V to 6V with
50mV resolution. The output voltage also can be set externally using
an external resistor divider. The output sequence among the outputs,
soft-start time, and the peak inductor current limit are also set
through I2C.
The switching frequency of the converters can either be set with I2C
or can be synchronized to an external clock connected to SYNC pin
if needed. The switching regulators are designed to operate from
440kHz to 2.3MHz. Each converter operates in phase or out-of-phase
according to the value in the phase setting register. This can minimize
the input filter requirements.
XR77103 features a supervisor circuit that monitors each
converter output. The PGOOD pin is asserted once sequencing is
done, all outputs are reported in regulation, and the reset timer expires.
The polarity of the signal is active high.
XR77103 also features a light load pulse skipping mode (PSM). It is
set through I2C. The PSM mode allows for a reduction on the input
power supplied to the system when the host processor is in stand-by
(low activity) mode.

XR77103
Applications Information
Operation
XR77103 is a power management IC with three step-down
buck converters. Both high-side and low-side MOSFETs
are integrated to provide fully synchronous conversion
with higher efficiency. XR77103 can support a 4.5V to 14V
input supply, high load current, and 440kHz to 2.3MHz
clocking. The buck converters have an optional PSM
mode which can improve power dissipation at light loads.
Alternatively, the device implements a constant
frequency mode. The wide switching frequency of 440kHz
to 2.3MHz allows for efficiency and size optimization.
The switching frequency is adjustable by writing data
through I2C. The SYNC pin also provides means to
synchronize the power converter to an external clock
signal. Input ripple is reduced by operation 180 degrees
out-of-phase among converters. All three buck converters
have peak current mode control which simplifies external
frequency compensation. Each buck converter has an
individual peak inductor current limit which is set through I2C.
The adjustable current limit enables high efficiency design
with smaller and less expensive inductors. The device has
a power good comparator monitoring the output voltages.
Each converter has its own soft-start independently
controlled through I2C.
When operating in default PSM mode, failure to meet
tON(MIN) can result in overcharging of the output and VOUT
not meeting specification.
Output Voltage Setting
Output voltage of each converter can be programmed by
I2C interface. It can be set from 0.8V to 6V with
6-bit resolution. The registers 00h to 02h are allocated to
setting each output of the converters. Alternatively, output
voltages can be set externally using external resistor
dividers. Setting EXTx (bit 7) of the registers 00h to 02h
allows external resistor divider for feedback. Output voltage
is determined by the following equation.
VOX = 0.8V x 1 + R1

Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM)
This is a natural mode of a synchronous buck converter.
Advantage of the CCM mode is that the switching frequency
is always constant and allows for better EMI control in
the system. The downside of CCM mode is that at light
loads system efficiency will become lower.
Pulse Skipping Mode (PSM)
In order to improve efficiency at light load, the
device implements two functions. Both functions are
enabled simultaneously. One function is a Zero Current
Detect comparator (ZCD) which detects zero current in
the inductor and turns off the synchronous MOSFET,
preventing negative inductor current. This ensures that the
device enters DCM mode as the load decreases. In this
mode, the device still operates at a constant frequency.
The second function is an internal skip comparator.
This comparator detects low levels of output current. If
low level is detected, the device will start to skip pulses.
This is done to improve light load efficiency by effectively
reducing switching frequency.

Figure 35. Output Voltage Setting
This feature can make the device applicable to an AVS
(automatic voltage scaling) system. Output voltage
can be adjusted automatically by external DC voltage.
Figure 36 shows the application circuit of the supply for
the AVS system.
Minimum On-Time tON (min) Considerations
The XR77103 can regulate with pulse widths as low as
95ns. However, to ensure sufficent control range, the
design must use 120ns as the minimum on-time as stated
in the electrical table. Failure to meet this condition when
CCM is selected can result in overcharging of the output to
the point that the OVP will shut down the output.

Switching Frequency Setting
Switching frequency can be set from 440kHz to 2.31MHz

Buck 2, and Buck 3, respectively.
Soft-start Time Setting
Soft-start time of each converter can be set individually
(see Figure 36). The lower 3 bits of the registers 03h, 04h,
and 05h are allocated to setting the soft-start time of Buck
1, Buck 2, and Buck 3, respectively.

on any of the buck converters, set delay time of each
converter. The bits [6:4] of the registers 03h, 04h, and 05h

Synchronization
The status of the SYNC pin will be ignored during
start-up and the XR77103’s control will only synchronize
to an external signal after the PGOOD signal is asserted.
When synchronization is applied, the PWM oscillator
frequency must be lower than the sync pulse frequency
to allow the external signal to trump the oscillator
pulse reliably. When synchronization is not applied,
the SYNC pin should be connected to AGND.
Two Buck Regulators in Parallel Operation
(Current Sharing)
The XR77103 can be used in parallel operation to increase
output current capacity. Figure 39 shows one of possible
configurations. To enable this, a user needs to:
Hardware Configuration
a) Connect both VOUTx together.
b) Connect both COMPx together.
Although the device can lock to an external clock running up
to 2.31MHz, doing this will alter the start-up times, start-up
delays, and PGOOD delays, and there will be higher losses
than what is shown in Figures 22-33.
Out-of-Phase Operation
All converters operate in phase, or one converter operates
180 degrees out-of-phase with the other two converters
(see Figure 38). The phase shift among the converter is
programmable. The bits 6, 5 of the register 09h are allocated
for this feature. This enables the system, having less input
ripple, to lower component cost, save board space and
reduce EMI.
Software Configuration
a) Set 180 out-of-phase operation between
buck regulators (register 09h).
b) Program both VOUTx to the same output.
Then, two out of three bucks will run in parallel and load
current is shared in average.
The ideal case is to use Buck 2 and Buck 3 in parallel
operation since they are both identical in design.

Power Good
The PGOOD pin is an open drain output. The PGOOD
pin is pulled low when any buck converter is pulled below
85% of the nominal output voltage. The PGOOD is pulled
up when selected buck converters’ outputs are more than
90% of their nominal output voltage and the PGOOD reset
timer expires. The polarity of the PGOOD is active high.
The PGOOD reset time is determined by following equation.

In addition, the nWR pin state determines where data gets
read from in case a read I2C command is transmitted on the
bus. When initiating a read transaction while the nWR pin

On the other hand, if the nWR pin is pulled low at the
time when a read transaction is sent, the data is read

the nWR pin low. In designs where the nWR pin is pulled
low permanently, the host shall not initiate read transactions
while channels are enabled. Failing to do so will cause
regulation interruption. Reading in this scenario shall be
done while EN is low and the channels are shut down.

Selectable UVLO Threshold
The threshold for UVLO is selectable (7V/4.2V). When input
voltage is higher, 9V and 12V for example, both settings
can be used. However, when the input voltage is 5V,
the UVLO setting must be 4.2V.
Supply Voltage for Data Programming and
Writing to NVM
VL is the supply voltage for I2C interface and is required for
all I2C transactions. The VL pin can be left floating if the I2C
interface is not used.
To write data to NVM, VIN must be 8V or higher.
The state of the nWR pin determines where the data
gets written to. If the nWR pin is pulled low to ground, the
data is written to the NVM. The I2C write transaction can
start immediately after the nWR pin has been pulled low.
A 100ms delay shall be added in between consecutive
I2C writes to the NVM. After each byte is written to
the NVM location, the data gets automatically transferred to
the run time equivalent register. If the nWR pin is pulled high
or left floating, the data gets written to run time registers.

Thermal Design
Proper thermal design is critical in controlling device
temperatures and in achieving robust designs. There are
a number of factors that affect the thermal performance.
One key factor is the temperature rise of the devices in
the package, which is a function of the thermal resistances
of the devices inside the package and the power being
dissipated.
I2C Bus Interface
The XR77103 features an I2C compatible, 2-wire serial
interface consisting of a serial-data line (SDA) and a serial
clock line (SCL). SDA and SCL facilitate communication
between the IC and the master device at clock rates up to
400kHz. The I2C interface follows all standard I2C protocols.
Some information is provided below. For additional
information, refer to the I2C-bus specifications.
The thermal resistance of the XR77103 (30°C/W) is specified
in the Operating Conditions section of this datasheet.
The θJA thermal resistance specification is based on the
XR77103 evaluation board operating without forced airflow.
Since the actual board design in the final application will be
different, the thermal resistances in the final design may be
different from those specified.
The package thermal derating and power loss curves are
shown in Figures 21 through 33. These correspond to input
voltages of 12V and 5V, and 440kHz and 1MHz switching
frequencies.
Layout Guidelines
Proper PCB layout is crucial in order to obtain a good
thermal and electrical performance.
For thermal considerations it is essential to use a number
of thermal vias to connect the central thermal pad to the
ground layer(s).
In order to achieve good electrical and noise performance
following steps are recommended:
■■ Place
the output inductor close to the LX pins and
minimize the area of the connection. Doing this
on the same layer is advisable.
■■ Central
thermal pad, PGND, shall be connected
as many layers as possible for good thermal
performance. The input capacitors connected
between VIN1, VIN2, VIN3 and PGND represent
an AC current loop which should be minimized.
PGND should connect to the system ground with
vias placed at the output filtering capacitors.
SDA
SCL
S
P
START Condition
STOP Condition
Figure 41. I2C Start and Stop Conditions
Start Condition
The master initiates data transfer by generating a start
condition. The start condition is when a high-to-low transition
occurs on the SDA line while SCL is high, as shown in
Figure 41.
Slave Address Cycle
After the start condition, the first byte sent by the master is
the 7-bit address and the read / write direction bit R/W on
the SDA line. If the address matches the XR77103’s internal
fixed I2C slave address, the XR77103 will respond with an
acknowledgement by pulling the SDA line low for one clock
cycle while SCL is high.
Data Cycle
After the master detects this acknowledgement, the next
byte transmitted by the master is the sub-address. This 8-bit
sub-address contains the address of the register to access.
The XR77103 Register Map is on page 20.
■■ The
AC current loop created by the output
inductors, output filtering capacitors, and the
regulator pins should also be minimized. However
this loop is less critical than the input capacitors.
■■ GND,
AGND, DGND can all be connected at the
device and be connected to system ground at the
output capacitor.
■■ Compensation
networks shall be placed close to
the pins and referenced to AGND.
■■ The
VCC bypass capacitor shall be placed close
to the pin and connected to AGND.

Stop Condition
To signal the end of the data transfer, the master generates a stop condition by pulling the SDA line from low to high while

Applications Information (Continued)
VBUCK2 Register (01h)
The VBUCK2 register has 7 bits of data for setting the output
of Buck 2 and 1 bit of data for use of external feedback
voltage through a resistor divider. The Buck 2 programmable
voltage range is from 0.8V to 6V with 0.05V resolution.
When EXT2 is set to 1, the output voltage is adjusted by
the external resistor divider from the output to ground with
the center tap connected to the VOUT2 pin regardless of
the value of the output voltage setting register. The factory
default NVM value is 00h (0.8V).

The soft-start time 1 and delay time 1 register has 6 effective
bits. Three bits are for setting the soft-start time of Buck 1
and three bits are for setting the delay time from EN to Buck 1
start-up. The factory default soft-start and delay times
are 6ms and 10ms, respectively, at 440kHz switching
frequency. Both soft-start and delay times are relative to the
switching frequency. They will be two times smaller at 1MHz
switching frequency.
VBUCK3 Register (02h)
The VBUCK3 register has 7 bits of data for setting the output
of Buck 3 and 1 bit of data for use of external feedback
voltage through a resistor divider. The Buck 3 programmable

PWR Register (0Ah)
PWR register has 5 effective bits. Bits 0-2 select which
channels will be enabled at the transition of the ENABLE
pin from low to high. The state of bit 3 determines whether
the buck converters operate in Pulse Skipping Mode or not.
Setting this bit to 1 allows Pulse Skipping Mode operation to
minimize power losses at light load levels. Bit 6 determines
threshold voltage for VIN UVLO. The factory default of this
register is 7Fh.
Bits 5 and 6 are for setting the phase shift among the buck
converters. The factory default value is channel 3 180°
out-of-phase in respect to the channels 1 and 2 (10b).
