PI332x-00
14 – 42VIN ZVS Buck Regulator
Product Description
Features & Benefits
The PI332x-00 is a family of high‑input‑voltage, wide‑input‑range
DC-DC ZVS Buck regulators integrating controller, power
switches and support components all within a high‑density
System‑in-Package (SiP).
• High‑Efficiency HV ZVS Buck Topology
The integration of a high-performance Zero-Voltage Switching
(ZVS) topology, within the PI332x-00 series, increases point‑of‑load
performance providing best‑in‑class power efficiency. The
PI332x-00 requires only an external inductor, two voltage selection
resistors and minimal capacitors to form a complete DC‑DC
switch‑mode buck regulator.
• Parallel capable with single‑wire current sharing
• Wide input voltage range of 14 – 42V
• Power-up into pre-biased load
• Input Over/Undervoltage Lockout (OVLO/UVLO)
• Output Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
• Overtemperature Protection (OTP)
• Fast and slow current limits

PI332x-00
Functional Description
Soft Start
The PI332x-00 is a family of highly integrated ZVS Buck regulators.
The PI332x-00 has an output voltage that can be set within a
prescribed range shown in Table 1. Performance and maximum
output current are characterized with a specific external power
inductor (see Table 3).
The PI332x-00 includes an internal soft-start capacitor to
control the rate of rise of the output voltage. See the Electrical
Characteristics Section for the default value. Connecting an
external capacitor from the TRK pin to SGND will increase the
start‑up ramp period. See, “Soft Start Adjustment and Track,” in
the Applications Description section for more details.

Figure 58 — ZVS Buck with required components
For basic operation, Figure 58 shows the connections and
components required. No additional design or settings are required.
ENABLE (EN)
EN is the enable pin of the converter. The EN Pin is referenced to
SGND and permits the user to turn the regulator on or off. The
EN default polarity is a positive logic assertion. If the EN pin is
left floating or asserted high, the converter output is enabled.
Pulling EN pin below VEN_LO with respect to SGND will disable the
regulator output.
Remote Sensing
If remote sensing is required, the PI332x-00 product family is
equipped with a general purpose op-amp. This amplifier can allow
full differential remote sense by configuring it as a differential
follower and connecting the VDIFF pin to the EAIN pin.
Output Current Limit Protection
The PI332x-00 has a current limit protection, which prevents
the output from sourcing current higher than the regulator’s
maximum rated current. If the output current exceeds the Current
Limit (IOUT_CL) for 1024μs, a slow current limit fault is initiated and
the regulator is shutdown which eliminates output current flow.
After Fault Restart Delay (tFR_DLY ), a soft-start cycle is initiated.
This restart cycle will be repeated indefinitely until the excessive
load is removed.
The PI332x-00 also has short circuit protection which can rapidly
stop switching to protect against catastrophic failure of an external
component such as a saturated inductor. If short‑circuit protection
is triggered the PI332x-00 will complete the current cycle and stop
switching. The module will attempt to soft start after Fault Restart
Delay (tFR_DLY ).
Input Undervoltage Lockout
If VIN falls below the input Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) threshold,
but remains high enough to power the internal bias supply, the
PI332x-00 will complete the current cycle and stop switching. The
system will soft start once the input voltage is reestablished and
after the Fault Restart Delay.

PI332x-00
Input Overvoltage Lockout
Pulse Skip Mode (PSM)
If VIN exceeds the input Overvoltage Lockout (OVLO) threshold
(VOVLO), while the controller is running, the PI332x-00 will
complete the current cycle and stop switching. If VIN remains above
OVLO for at least tFR_DLY, then the input voltage is considered
reestablished once VIN goes below VOVLO -VOVLO_HYS. If VIN goes
below OVLO before tFR_DLY elapses, then the input voltage is
considered reestablished once VIN goes below VOVLO. The system
will soft start once the input voltage is reestablished and after the
Fault Restart Delay.
PI332x-00 features a Pulse Skip Mode (PSM) to achieve high
efficiency at light loads. The regulators are set up to skip pulses
if EAO falls below a PSM threshold (PSMSKIP). Depending on
conditions and component values, this may result in single pulses
or several consecutive pulses followed by skipped pulses. Skipping
cycles significantly reduces gate drive power and improves light
load efficiency. The regulator will leave PSM once the EAO rises
above the Pulse Skip Mode threshold.
Output Overvoltage Protection
Variable Frequency Operation
The PI332x-00 family is equipped with output Overvoltage
Protection (OVP) to prevent damage to input voltage sensitive
devices. If the output voltage exceeds VOVP-REL or VOVP-ABS, the
regulator will complete the current cycle and stop switching. The
system will resume operation once the output voltage falls below
the OVP threshold and after Fault Restart Delay.
Each PI332x-00 is preprogrammed to a base operating frequency,
with respect to the power stage inductor (see Table 2), to operate
at peak efficiency across line and load variations. At low‑line
and high‑load applications, the base frequency will decrease to
accommodate these extreme operating ranges. By stretching the
frequency, the ZVS operation is preserved throughout the total
input line voltage range therefore maintaining optimum efficiency.
Overtemperature Protection
Thermal Characteristics
The PI332x features an overtemperature protection (OTP), which
will not engage until after the product is operated above the
maximum rated temperature. The OTP circuit is only designed to
protect against catastrophic failure due to excessive temperatures
and should not be relied upon to ensure the device stays within
the recommended operating temperature range. Thermal shut
down terminates switching and discharges the soft-start capacitor.
The PI332x will restart after the excessive temperature has
decreased by 30°C.
Figure 59(a) and 59(c) thermal impedance models that can predict
the maximum temperature of the hottest component for a given
operating condition. This model assumes that all customer PCB
connections are at one temperature, which is PCB equivalent
Temperature TPCB °C.
The SiP model can be simplified as shown in Figure 59(b). which
assumes all PCB nodes are at the same temperature.
