The control scheme is based on a constant on-time (COT) regulation loop. An additional power saving mode for light load operation can be engaged based on the condition applied to the MODE pin. The VOUT of the regulator is divided by the feedback resistor network RFBT and RFBB and fed into the FB pin. The internal comparator compares this signal with the internal 0.8V reference. If the feedback voltage is below the reference, the high side MOSFET is turned on for a fixed on-time. The constant on-time control scheme does not require compensation circuitry which makes the overall design very simple. Nevertheless, it requires a certain minimum ripple at the feedback pin. The MagI3 C Power Module 171010550 generates this ripple internally and is supported by the CFF capacitor which bypasses AC ripple directly to the feedback pin from the output. With this architecture very small output ripple values under 10mVPP (similar to current or voltage mode devices) can be achieved.

GND © March 2022 26 171010550 MagI3 C Power Module VDMM - Variable Step Down MicroModule STEP 1 Setting The Output Voltage (VOUT ) The output voltage is selected with an external resistor divider between VOUT and GND (see circuit below). The voltage across the lower resistor of the divider is provided to the FB pin and compared with an internal reference voltage of 0.8V (VREF ). The output voltage adjustment range is from 0.8V to 5.5V. The output voltage can be calculated according to the following formula: V OUT = V REF · ( RFBT + 1) RFBB (1) One resistor must be chosen and then the other resistor can be calculated. For example, if RFBT = 100kΩ then the resistance value of the lower resistor in the feedback network is indicated in the table below for common output voltages.

The external input capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the VIN and PGND pins. For this MagI3 C MicroModule, it is recommended to use an MLCC (multi-layer ceramic capacitor) of 4.7µF. Attention must be paid to the voltage, frequency, temperature derating and thermal class of the selected capacitor. The Würth Elektronik part number 885012107018 has been experimentally verified to work with this MicroModule. STEP 3 Select The Output Capacitor (COUT ) The output capacitor should be selected in order to minimize the output voltage ripple and to provide a stable voltage at the output. It also affects the loop stability. An external MLCC of 10µF is recommended for all application conditions. Attention must be paid to the voltage, frequency, temperature derating and thermal class of the selected capacitor. The Würth Elektronik part numbers 885012107010 and 885012107014 have been experimentally verified to work with this MicroModule. In general, the output voltage ripple can be calculated using the following equation: V OUT ripple = ∆I L · ESR + ∆I L · ( 1 ) 8 · f SW · C OUT (2) where ∆IL is the inductor current ripple and can be calculated with the following equation: ∆I L = Example V OUT · (V IN − V OUT ) f SW · L · V IN (3) In the section OUTPUT VOLTAGE RIPPLE on page 35, a ripple measurement is shown under the following conditions: VIN = 3.6V VOUT = 1.8V L = 470nH (internally fixed) fSW = 4MHz (internally fixed) COUT = 10µF X5R 0805 10V (Würth Elektronik part number 885012107010) Assuming a reduction of the capacitance of about 10% due to the bias voltage, a remaining capacitance of around 9µF can be considered. Another assumption can be used for the ESR, which can be considered lower than 10mΩ. Using Equations (2) and (3), the expected ripple is VOUT_Ripple ≤ 6mV, which matches the results obtained in the measurement. Data Sheet version 2.1 www.we-online.com/powermodules © March 2022 28 171010550 MagI3 C Power Module VDMM - Variable Step Down MicroModule STEP 4 Select The Feed-Forward Capacitor (CFF ) The 171010550 MagI3 C MicroModule allows for the selection of a feed forward capacitor, CFF , providing a trade-off between response time and efficiency while also affecting the transition current threshold between the COT and power save modes. A lower value of CFF will increase the light load conversion efficiency while slowing down the response time and increasing the overshoot and undershoot. Increasing the CFF value will decrease the response time and the overshoot and undershoot while decreasing light load conversion efficiency. Increasing the value of CFF results in higher value of current needed to leave power save mode. A CFF of 22pF has been evaluated experimentally as a value with suitable efficiency and transient characteristics for most applications. The pictures below show the transient behavior of the 171010550 in response to a load transition from 0A to 1.2A using the recommended CFF = 22pF, as well as other values of CFF . Data Sheet version 2.1 www.we-online.com/powermodules © March 2022 29 171010550 MagI3 C Power Module VDMM - Variable Step Down MicroModule This behavior is valid only for this test under the specified conditions and must be verified in the real application. The CFF value only affects the efficiency during light load conditions when the power save mode is chosen. As explained in the section MODES OF OPERATION on page 32, during light load conditions while the module is operating in power save mode (i.e. when the MODE pin is pulled to GND), the device does not continuously switch, instead delivering energy to the load in bursts. The frequency between bursts is influenced by various parameters, including the CFF value. The LIGHT LOAD OPERATION section provides a more in-depth explanation of the additional parameters which affect behavior in this region. Increasing CFF will cause the MicroModule to burst more often, resulting in a decrease in light load efficiency as depicted in the diagram below. In addition, increasing the CFF value will result in an increase in the current threshold required to exit power save mode, also shown below as a difference of almost 100mA.

This customization tailors the behavior of the MicroModule to the application’s needs. Data Sheet version 2.1 www.we-online.com/powermodules © March 2022 31 171010550 MagI3 C Power Module VDMM - Variable Step Down MicroModule MODES OF OPERATION The MODE pin of the 171010550 can be pulled either high or low to alter the light load performance of the module based on the application requirements. When pulled high, COT operation will be forced throughout the entire load current range. When pulled low, power save operation will occur during light load conditions. The MicroModule will operate in one of four modes, depending on the operating conditions. Constant on-time (COT) operation The MicroModule operates at a fixed switching frequency of 4MHz where the duty cycle (DC) is determined by the following equation: V OUT DC = (4) V IN The on-time is determined by the duty cycle and the switching frequency as follows: tON = DC f SW (5) The on and off-times can be related to the switching frequency as follows: 1 = tON + tOFF f SW (6) This mode of operation has a minimum off-time value of 60ns. Fixed off-time operation When the minimum off-time of 60ns is reached and the duty cycle must increase futher, the MicroModule fixes the off-time to 60ns and begins increasing the on-time. This results in a decrease in switching frequency proportional to the increase in duty cycle. 100% duty cycle operation When the input voltage approaches the output voltage and the duty cycle approaches 100%, the MicroModule will leave the high side MOSFET on continuously and the output voltage will be limited by the input voltage. Further decreases of input voltage will result in a corresponding decrease in output voltage. Power save operation Power save operation is initiated when the MicroModule enters discontinuous mode, typically occurring between 0mA and 300mA. A burst of switching cycles increases the output voltage above the set value followed by a period of dead time where the output current is only delivered by the output capacitor. This results in slightly increased output voltage ripple in exchange for significantly increased conversion efficiency. Data Sheet version 2.1 www.we-online.com/powermodules © March 2022 32 171010550 MagI3 C Power Module VDMM - Variable Step Down MicroModule OUTPUT VOLTAGE RIPPLE The output voltage ripple is also influenced by the selection of the MODE pin. If the forced COT mode is selected and the duty cycle is below 76%, the ripple is very low and it always has the same frequency as the internal oscillator (4MHz typ.). If the power save mode is selected and the load current is low enough to be in power save operationor if the duty cycle is high enough to enter the constant off-time mode of operation then the output voltage ripple will be higher and the frequency lower than the nominal switching frequency (see pictures below). Data Sheet version 2.1 www.we-online.com/powermodules © March 2022 33 171010550 MagI3 C Power Module VDMM - Variable Step Down MicroModule PROTECTION FEATURES Overcurrent Protection (OCP) For protection against load faults, the 171010550 MagI3 C MicroModule incorporates a cycle-by-cycle current limiting (see IOCP in ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATION on page 5). During switching, the output current is limited by turning off the high-side switch when the current limit value is detected. This switching behavior continues, limiting the on-time of the device until the overcurrent condition is removed. When the overcurrent condition is removed, normal switching times resume. The output voltage is reduced to zero until the current no longer exceeds the limit.

The junction temperature of the 171010550 MagI3 C MicroModule should not be allowed to exceed its maximum ratings. Thermal protection is implemented by an internal thermal shutdown circuit, which activates when the junction temperature reaches 160°C (typ). Under the thermal shutdown condition both MOSFETs remain off causing VOUT to drop. When the junction temperature falls below 150°C the internal soft-start is released, VOUT rises smoothly, and normal operation resumes. Input Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) The device incorporates input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) to protect from unexpected behavior at input voltages below the recommended values. The thresholds of the UVLO are indicated in the ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS on page 5. Soft-Start The 171010550 MagI3 C MicroModule implements an internal soft-start in order to limit the inrush current and avoid output voltage overshoot during start-up. The typical duration of the soft-start is around 100µs (see figure below).

After setting EN high the module prepares for operation, a process which takes roughly 2ms. Once prepared, the module begins switching and the internal soft-start regulates the output voltage rise until the desired output voltage is met allowing normal operation to take place.

Nevertheless, some recommendations should be followed when designing the layout: 1. The input and output capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the VIN and VOUT pins of the device. 2. The feedback resistor divider should be placed as close as possible to the FB pin. 3. Pins 5 and 2 (EN and MODE respectively) must be always connected to either VIN or ground and they cannot be left floating (an example is shown in the layout depicted above, where EN and MODE pins are respectively connected to VIN and ground). 4. Avoid placing vias in any of the pads for the module. Due to the small size of the pads, significant amounts of solder can be pulled through the vias during heating, resulting in incomplete connections between the module and board. Therefore, vias placed near the module’s pads should either be plugged or covered in solder mask.
