SPM1004
12V Input 6A Output Power Supply in Inductor (PSI2) Module
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
SPM1004 is an easy-to-use 6A output integrated Point of
Load (POL) power supply module. It contains integrated
power MOSFETs, driver, PWM controller, a high
performance inductor, input and output capacitors and
other passive components in one low profile LGA package
using PSI2 technology.
Only one external input capacitor and one external output
capacitor are needed for typical applications. There is no
need for loop compensation, sensitive PCB layout,
inductor selection, or in-circuit production testing. Each
module is fully tested.
SPM1004 integrated POL power module series are offered
with eight models for eight different output voltages:
5.0V, 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V, 1.2V, 1.0V, and 0.8V. Each
output voltage can be trimmed by ±10%.
All SPM1004 models deliver full 6A load current without
derating at 85°C ambient temperature with no airflow.
Small size (15mm x 9mm) and low profile (2.8mm) allows
SPM1004 to be placed very close to its load or on the back
side of the PCB for high density applications.
Constant-on-time (COT) control is used to achieve
excellent transient response to line and load changes
without sacrificing stability and high efficiency at light
load.
Sumida's PSI2 technology ensures optimal inductor design,
uniform temperature distribution and very low
temperature difference between case and IC die.

Description
Input voltage pins, referenced to PGND. Connect input ceramic capacitors between these
pins and PGND plane, close to the power module. It is suggested to place the ceramic
capacitors at both sides of the module, one between PIN A3 and PIN A4-A5 and one
between PIN G2-G3 and PIN G4-G5.
Auxiliary output from an LDO in the module, which is referenced to AGND. An external
capacitor is not normally necessary but can be added if required.
Note: VAUX pin can only provide 1mA maximum current.
Switching node of the Buck converter. Connect these pins together using a small and
isolated copper plane under the module for best thermal performance. Do not connect any
external component to these pins. Do not use these pins for other functions.
Output voltage pins. Connect these pins together onto a copper plane. Connect external
output filter capacitors between these pins and PGND plane, close to the module.
Zero DC voltage reference for power circuitry. These pins should be connected directly to
the PCB ground plane. All pins must be connected together externally with a copper plane
located directly under the module.
Zero DC voltage reference for the analog control circuitry. A small analog ground plane is
recommended, and these pins should be connected directly to the PCB analog ground
plane. A single point external connection between AGND and PGND is recommended.
VADJ, SS, and VSENSE pins should be referenced to analog ground.
Enable and Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO) pin. When floating or above Enable On Voltage
(VEN_ON), the power module will be turned on when the power input voltage (PVIN) is above
startup voltage (VSTART). When EN pin is below Enable Off Voltage (V EN_OFF), the power
module will be off.
Different startup voltage can be programmed by an external resistor if required, as
discussed on page 18.
Output voltage adjustment pin. The output voltage can be adjusted up to ±10% of its
nominal value. A resistor between VADJ and VSENSE will trim the output voltage down. A
resistor between VADJ and AGND will trim the output voltage up. Refer to page 15.
Remote sensing pin. Connect this pin to VOUT close to the load for improved voltage
regulation.
Note: this pin is not connected to VOUT inside the module, and must be connected
externally.
Soft-start pin. Soft-start time can be increased by connecting a capacitor between this pin
and AGND.
Power Good pin, an open drain output. A resistor connected between PWRGD and VAUX
can be used as a pull-up. PWRGD is high if the output voltage is higher than 91% of the
nominal value. It will be pulled down if the output voltage is less than 80% or higher than
120% of the nominal value.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Output Voltage Adjustment
The output voltage of each model of SPM1004 can be trimmed by ±10% from its nominal value. To trim output voltage
up, a resistor (RUP) should be connected between output voltage adjustment pin (VADJ) and analog ground pin (AGND),
as shown in Fig. 17. To trim output voltage down, a resistor (RDOWN) should be connected between remote sensing pin
(VSENSE) and output voltage adjustment pin (VADJ), as shown in Fig. 18. It is recommended to use 1% tolerance or
better for these resistors.

Power Up with and without Enable (EN) Control
The EN pin provides an external on/off control of the power module. Once the voltage at EN pin exceeds the threshold
voltage (1.3V) or is left open, the power module starts operation when the input voltage is higher than the input start
up voltage (VSTART).
When the voltage at EN pin is pulled below the threshold voltage, the switching converter stops switching and the
power module enters low quiescent current state.
If an application requires controlling the EN pin, an open drain or open collector output logic can be used to interface
with the pin, as shown in Fig. 19, where high ON/OFF signal (low EN) disables the power module.

The startup and enable waveforms are similar for other output voltages.
Startup Voltage Setup
By default, the power modules will be turned on when the input voltage reaches the startup voltage (VSTART), and will
be turned off when the input voltage reduces to below the Under-Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO) level. Startup voltage
cannot be reduced from the values provided in the table of Electrical Characteristics. Startup voltage can be increased
by an external resistor (REN) connected between EN pin and PGND pin.
For SPM1004-5V0, the resistor value REN (in kΩ) can be calculated using (17) below based on the required startup
voltage, VSTART_5V0. Note: VSTART_5V0 must be higher than 9V.

Power Good (PWRGD)
The PWRGD pin is an open drain output, and can be used to indicate when the output voltage is within the normal
operating range. It is recommended to connect a pull up resistor (10KΩ to 100KΩ) between PWRGD pin and VAUX pin
of the module. The PWRGD signal becomes high when the output voltage reaches 91% of normal output voltage. The
PWRGD signal is pulled low when the output voltage is lower than 80% or higher than 120% of the normal output
voltage.
Soft-Start Operation (SS)
The soft-start function forces the output voltage to rise gradually to its nominal value rather than rising as rapidly as
possible. When an external soft-start capacitor is not connected, the soft-start time is set to 3.3ms nominal for all the
SPM1004 models. The soft-start time can be increased by connecting an external capacitor between soft-start pin (SS)
and analog ground (AGND) pin. The relationship between the required soft-start time and the external capacitor is
given by the following equation:

Fig. 24 shows a typical schematic for 12V input and 1.8V output application. In this example, the startup voltage has
been changed to 10V with EN resistor REN of 88.7kΩ. The soft-start time has been set to 17.5ms with an external softstart capacitor of 0.47µF.
Note: in Fig. 23 the VSENSE pin is shown connected directly to the output capacitor COUT. This module uses a constant
on-time control and the feedback needs to sense the output voltage ripple as accurately as possible to provide the best
regulation. If there is a significant distance between the SPM1004 and the load, the bulk output capacitor should be
physically located close to the load, and the VSENSE connected at that point. When the recommended capacitance of
4x 47uF is used, one capacitor can be located at the module and the other three close to the load.

Sequencing Operation
The term sequencing is used when two or more separate modules are configured to start one after the other, in
sequence.
Sequencing operation between two or more SPM1004 power modules can be implemented with PWRGD pin and EN
pin. Fig. 25 shows an example configuration when SPM1004-2V5 starts first and SPM1004-1V8 starts after the output
voltage of SPM1004-2V5 has reached 2.5V. In this case, the Power Good signal (PWRGD) of SPM1004-2V5 turns on
SPM1004-1V8 through the EN pin of SPM1004-1V8.
Fig. 26 shows the output voltage waveforms of two SPM1004 modules used in sequential startup mode. It shows that
PWRGD signal becomes high when SPM1004-2V5 enters into regulation and then the SPM1004-1V8 starts up.
Note: The SPM1004 can start in sequence with another SPM1004 or with any other POL having a compatible Power
Good output.

Over Current Protection
For protection against over-current faults, SPM1004 will shut down when the load current is higher than the overcurrent protection (OCP) level. During an over-current condition, the SPM1004 will operate in hiccup mode and will try
to restart automatically. The hiccup operation will continue until the over-current condition is removed or the input
power is removed.
Fig. 35 shows the output voltage and output current waveforms during over-current protection operation for
SPM1004-1V8. When the over-current condition is removed, the output voltage recovers automatically to the nominal
voltage, as shown in Fig. 36.

Thermal Considerations
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150°C but it is recommended to keep the operating temperature well
below this value. Maximum recommended case temperature is 115°C, which corresponds to a junction temperature
of approximately 122°C.
The thermal resistance from case to ambient (θCA) depends on the PCB layout as well as the amount of cooling airflow.
When mounted on the EVM, θCA is approximately 12°C/watt in still air. Please refer to the EVM User Guide for EVM
PCB layout information.
SPM1004 implements an internal thermal shutdown to protect itself against over-temperature conditions. When the
junction temperature of the power MOSFET is above 170°C, the power module stops operating to protect itself from

thermal damage. When the MOSFET temperature reduces to 155°C (hysteresis of 15°C), the SPM1004 will restart
automatically.
Layout Considerations
To achieve the best electrical and thermal performance, an optimized PCB layout is required. Some considerations for
the PCB layout are:
Use large copper areas for power planes (PVIN, VOUT, and PGND) to minimize conduction loss and thermal
stress;
Place ceramic input and output capacitors close to the module pins to minimize high frequency noise;
Place any additional output capacitors between the main ceramic capacitor and the load (see note on page 19);
Connect AGND plane and PGND plane at a single point;
Place resistors and capacitors connected to SENSE, VADJ, and SS pins as close as possible to their respective pins;
Do not connect PHASE pins to any other components;
Use multiple vias to connect the power planes to internal layers.
Refer to SPM1004 Evaluation Module (EVM) User Manual for suggested PCB layout.

Storage and handling
Moisture barrier bag
The modules are packed in a reel, and then an aluminum foil moisture barrier bag is used to pack the reel in order to
prevent moisture absorption. Silica gel is put into the aluminum moisture barrier bag as absorbent material.
Storage
SPM1004 is classified MSL level 3 according to JEDEC J-STD-033 and J-STD-020 standards, with a floor life of 168 hours
after the outer bag is opened. Any unused SPM1004 modules should be resealed in the original moisture barrier bag
as soon as possible. If the module’s floor life exceeds 168 hours, the modules should be dehumidified before use by
baking in an oven at 125°C/1% RH (e.g. hot nitrogen gas atmosphere) for 48 hours.
Handling precautions
1. Handle carefully to avoid unnecessary mechanical stress. Excessive external stress may cause damage.
2. Normal ESD handling procedures are recommended to be used whenever handling the module.
3. If cleaning the module is necessary, use isopropyl alcohol solution at normal room temperature. Avoid the use of
other solvents.
