DESCRIPTION
Output voltage. Place output capacitors as close as possible. For best
thermal performance use copper plane(s) at this pin.
Forced PWM or PFM/PWM mode selection pin. Setting this pin high, the
forced PWM mode is selected for any load current. Setting this pin low,
PFM/PWM is selected, with the transition automatically between the two
operations according to the load. This pin must not be left floating.
Feedback pin. This pin must be connected to the external resistor divider
(between VOUT and GND) to adjust the output voltage.
Input voltage. Place the input capacitor as close as possible.
Enable pin. Setting this pin high enables the device, while setting this pin low
shuts down the device. This pin must not be left floating.
Power Ground. It must be connected to the ground plane and the Thermal
Pads.
Exposed Pads. These pins are internally electrically connected to PGND. It is
recommended to connect them to the ground plane for device heat
dissipation

NOTES
(1) Min and Max limits are 100% production tested at 25°C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed
through correlation using Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods.
(2) Typical numbers are valid at 25°C ambient temperature and represent statistically the utmost probable values assuming
a Gaussian distribution.
(3) Depending on heat sink design, number of PCB layers, copper thickness and air flow.
(4) Measured on a 101.5 x 114.5 mm one layer board, with 70µm (2 ounce) copper, no air flow, according to JESD51-9.
(5) The industry standard for comparison of the output voltage ripple between switching regulators or modules requires a
10µF ceramic (sometimes additional 1µF ceramic in parallel) at the point of load where the voltage measurement is done
using an oscilloscope with its probe and probe jack designed for low voltage/high frequency (low impedance)
measurement. The oscilloscopes bandwidth is limited at 20MHz.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The MagI³C MicroModule 171010502 is a synchronous step down regulator with integrated MOSFETs, a power inductor and
an input capacitor. The control scheme is based on a Constant On-Time (COT) regulation loop. An additional 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 R FBB 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 MagI³C Power Module 171010502 generates this
ripple internally and is supported by the C FF capacitor which bypasses AC ripple directly to the feedback pin from the output.
With this architecture very small output ripple values under 10mV (similar to current or voltage mode devices) can be achieved.

Step 1 Setting the output voltage (V OUT)
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 a reference voltage of 0.8V (VFB). The
output voltage adjustment range is from 0.8V to 5.5V. The output voltage can be calculated according to the following formula:
VOUT = VFB ∙ (
R FBT
R FBB
+ 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 voltag es.

MagI3C Power Module
VDMM – Variable Step Down MicroModule
Step 2 Select input capacitor (CIN )
The energy at the input of the MicroModule is stored in the input capacitor. An input capacitor (4.7µF) is integrated inside the
171010502 MagI³C MicroModule, ensuring good EMI performance and helping protect the internal circuitry from possible
voltage transients. Additional input capacitance is required externally to provide cycle-by-cycle switching current and to support
load transients. The external input capacitor must be placed directly at the VIN pin. For this MagI³C MicroModule it is
recommended to use a MLCC (Mutli Layer Ceramic Capacitor) of 4.7µF. Attention must be paid to the voltage, frequency and
temperature deratings of the selected capacitor.
Step 3 Select 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 and temperature deratings of the selected capacitor.
In general, the output voltage ripple can be calculated using the following equation:
VOUT ripple = ∆IL ∙ ESR+∆IL ∙
1
8∙fSW ∙COUT
(1)
where ∆IL is the inductor current ripple and can be calculated with the following equation:
∆IL =
VOUT ∙ (VIN -VOUT )
fSW ∙ L ∙ VIN
(2)
Example
In the section OUTPUT VOLTAGE RIPPLE on page 27 a ripple measurement is shown under the following conditions:
VIN = 3.6V
VOUT = 1.8V
L = 540nH
fSW = 4MHz
COUT = 10µF (external, Würth Elektronik, part number 885012107014)
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 done for the ESR, which can be considered lower than 5mΩ.
Using equations (1) and (2), the expected ripple is VOUT ripple ≤ 2mV, which matches the results obtained with the measurement.

MagI3C Power Module
VDMM – Variable Step Down MicroModule
Step 4 Select the feed-forward capacitor (CFF )
The 171010502 MagI³C Micromodule allows for the selection of a feed forward capacitor, C FF, providing a trade-off between
response time and efficiency while also affecting the transition current threshold between the PFM and PWM modes. A
lower value of C FF will increase the efficiency of the module at light load while slowing down the response time. Increasing
the C FF value will speed up the response time while decreasing efficiency. Increasing the value of CFF results in higher
values of current needed to leave PFM mode.
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 171 010502 in response to a load transition from 0A to 1A using the
recommended CFF = 22pF, as well as other values of C FF.
A higher value of C FF helps to reduce the over and undershoot just after the load transitions and allows the module to settle
to the regulated output voltage in less time.

VDMM – Variable Step Down MicroModule
The C FF value only affects the efficiency during light load conditions when the PFM/PWM mo de is chosen.
As explained in the section LIGHT LOAD OPERATION on page 23, under light load operation while PFM/PWM mode is
selected (MODE pin tied 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 C FF value. The LIGHT LOAD OPERATION
section provides a more in-depth explanation of the additional parameters which affect behavior in this region.

Increasing C FF will cause the module to burst more often (shown in the two images above) resulting in a decrease in light
load efficiency as depicted in the diagram below. In addition, increasing the C FF value will result in an increase in the current
threshold required to exit PFM mode, also shown below as a difference of almost 100mA.

While the recommended C FF value of 22pF will work for most applications, the user can adjust the performance of the module
based on their application by trading between light load efficiency and transient response. This customization tailors the
behavior of the module to the application’s needs.

MODES OF OPERATION
The MODE pin of the 171010502 can be pulled either high or low to alter the light load performance of the module based on
the application requirements.
Forced PWM mode
Pulling the MODE pin high selects the forced PWM mode. In this mode the device constantly functions in PWM mode, switching
at the default 4 MHz fixed switching frequency, independently of the load (see figure below). This mode of operation eases
the filtering requirements to help with noise sensitive applications.

Behavior at varying input voltages
During PWM operation, if the duty cycle is under a certain value, typically 76%, the module controls the off-time based on the
feedback ripple compared to an internal reference that utilizes the inductor ripple. The on-time is fixed and depends on VIN
and VOUT as well as the fixed switching frequency of 4MHz, as indicated by the following equation:
𝑡𝑜𝑛 =
𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡
𝑉𝑖𝑛 ∗ 𝑓𝑠𝑤
When the input voltage decreases (such as with a discharging battery) the duty cycle will increase to deliver the same amount
of power to the load. When the duty cycle reaches a critical point, typically 76%, the module transitions to a fixed off-time mode
where it controls the low-side switch using the feedback ripple and internal comparator, keeping the low-side switch off for a
fixed 60ns and varying the on-time to meet the duty cycle requirements and output voltage. This results in a decrease of
switching frequency as the duty cycle continues to increase.
If the input voltage decreases further and the difference between the input voltage and output voltage is not significantly large,
such that the duty cycle approaches 100% operation, the module enters a drop-out mode of operation, leaving the high-side
switch on continuously and regulating the output voltage using the combined DC resistance of the high -side switch and the
integrated inductor.

PFM/PWM mode
Setting the MODE pin low selects the PFM/PWM mode. This mode provides a much higher efficiency at light loads (shown in
the picture below) by using PFM mode to save energy.

Output Current [A]
During PFM mode the module delivers energy in short bursts to the load (see the figure below). Within each burs t the device
switches at the default switching frequency and the energy is delivered to both the load and the output capacitor. In between
bursts, the device experiences a period where both the high side and low side switches are in an off state. The load demands
are supplied exclusively by the output capacitor during this time and the current consumption of the device drops dramatically
until the feedback system triggers the next cycle. This behavior results in higher efficiency than traditional PWM operation can
deliver.

Please consider that the dead times shown above are examples and measured values are heavily dependent on several
parameters including the output capacitor, routing techniques, distance between the output capacitor and load, and the feedforward capacitor.
The device transitions from PFM to PWM mode automatically when the dead time approaches zero, resuming constant
switching behavior at the default switching frequency of 4MHz.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE RIPPLE
The output voltage ripple is also influenced by the selection of the MODE pin. If the forced PWM 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 (4 MHz). If the
PFM/PWM mode is selected and the load current is low enough to be in the PFM mode of operation or 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).

PROTECTIVE FEATURES
Overcurrent protection (OCP)
For protection agains t load faults, the MagI³C 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 s. The output voltage is reduced to zero
until the current no longer exceeds the limit.

Short-circuit protection (SCP)
When the MagI³C MicroModule experiences a short-circuit condition at the output it will limit the current, typically to 2.2A,
until the thermal protection circuit shuts the module off. If the short-circuit condition is removed, normal switching operation
will begin if the module temperature is not exceeding the thermal shutdown threshold.

VDMM – Variable Step Down MicroModule
Over temperature protection (OTP)
Thermal protection helps prevent catastrophic failures due to accidental device overheating . The junction temperature of the
MagI³C 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 softstart is released, VOUT rises smoothly, and normal operation resumes.
Input undervoltage lockout
The device incorporates undervoltage lockout (UVLO) to protect 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 171010502 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).

Enable
The 171010502 MagI³C MicroModule is enabled by setting the pin EN high. After setting EN high the module prepares for
operation, a process which takes roughly 100µsec. 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 .

The picture above shows a possible layout for the 171010502 MagI3C MicroModule. Nevertheless , some recommendations
should be followed when designing the layout:
1. The exposed pad should be connected to the bottom copper layer of the circuit board with enough vias to assist the
module in dissipating heat during operation. The above example uses 9 vias each with a drill diameter of 200µm .
2. The input and output capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the VIN and VOUT pins of the device.
3. The feedback resistor divider should be placed as close as possible to the FB pin
4. 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).
