Limitation of Liability
General Information
Flex does not make any other warranties, expressed or
implied including any warranty of merchantability or fitness

Example: Product number BMR 461 3001/001C equals a 12A, LGA, PMBus
and analog pin strap, standard configuration variant.
The failure rate (λ) and mean time between failures
(MTBF= 1/λ) is calculated at max output power and an
operating ambient temperature (TA) of +40°C. Flex uses
Telcordia SR-332 Issue 2 Method 1 to calculate the mean
steady-state failure rate and standard deviation (σ).
Telcordia SR-332 Issue 2 also provides techniques to
estimate the upper confidence levels of failure rates based
on the mean and standard deviation.
Mean steady-state failure rate, λ
40 nFailures/h
Std. deviation, σ
8.2 nFailures/h
MTBF (mean value) for the BMR 461 series = 24.98 Mh.
MTBF at 90% confidence level = 19.77 Mh
(calculation based on BMR461 3001)

Safety Specification
General information
Flex DC/DC converters and DC/DC regulators are
designed in accordance with safety standards
IEC/EN/UL 60950-1 Safety of Information Technology
Equipment.
IEC/EN/UL 60950-1 contains requirements to prevent injury
or damage due to the following hazards:
•
•
•
•
•
•
3 (4)
No.
Electrical shock
Energy hazards
Fire
Mechanical and heat hazards
Radiation hazards
Chemical hazards
On-board DC/DC converters and DC/DC regulators are
defined as component power supplies. As components
they cannot fully comply with the provisions of any safety
requirements without “Conditions of Acceptability”.
Clearance between conductors and between conductive
parts of the component power supply and conductors on
the board in the final product must meet the applicable
safety requirements. Certain conditions of acceptability
apply for component power supplies with limited stand-off
(see Mechanical Information for further information). It is
the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the final
product housing these components complies with the
requirements of all applicable safety standards and
regulations for the final product.
Component power supplies for general use should comply
with the requirements in IEC 60950-1, EN 60950-1 and
UL 60950-1 Safety of Information Technology Equipment.
There are other more product related standards, e.g.
IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD (Ethernet) Access Method, and
ETS-300132-2 Power supply interface at the input to
telecommunications equipment, operated by direct current
(dc), but all of these standards are based on
IEC/EN/UL 60950-1 with regards to safety.
Flex DC/DC converters and DC/DC regulators are
UL 60950-1 recognized and certified in accordance with
EN 60950-1.
The flammability rating for all construction parts of the
products meet requirements for V-0 class material
according to IEC 60695-11-10, Fire hazard testing, test
flames – 50 W horizontal and vertical flame test methods.
The products should be installed in the end-use equipment,
in accordance with the requirements of the ultimate
application. Normally the output of the DC/DC converter is
considered as SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) and the
input source must be isolated by minimum Double or
Reinforced Insulation from the primary circuit (AC mains) in
accordance with IEC/EN/UL 60950-1.

Isolated DC/DC converters
It is recommended that a slow blow fuse is to be used at
the input of each DC/DC converter. If an input filter is used
in the circuit the fuse should be placed in front of the input
filter.
In the rare event of a component problem that imposes a
short circuit on the input source, this fuse will provide the
following functions:
•
•
Isolate the fault from the input power source so as
not to affect the operation of other parts of the
system.
Protect the distribution wiring from excessive
current and power loss thus preventing hazardous
overheating.
The galvanic isolation is verified in an electric strength test.
The test voltage (Viso) between input and output is
1500 Vdc or 2250 Vdc (refer to product specification).
24 V DC systems
The input voltage to the DC/DC converter is SELV (Safety
Extra Low Voltage) and the output remains SELV under
normal and abnormal operating conditions.
48 and 60 V DC systems
If the input voltage to the DC/DC converter is 75 Vdc or
less, then the output remains SELV (Safety Extra Low
Voltage) under normal and abnormal operating conditions.
Single fault testing in the input power supply circuit should
be performed with the DC/DC converter connected to
demonstrate that the input voltage does not exceed
75 Vdc.
If the input power source circuit is a DC power system, the
source may be treated as a TNV-2 circuit and testing has
demonstrated compliance with SELV limits in accordance
with IEC/EN/UL60950-1.
Non-isolated DC/DC regulators
The input voltage to the DC/DC regulator is SELV (Safety
Extra Low Voltage) and the output remains SELV under
normal and abnormal operating conditions.

Stress in excess of Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage. Absolute Maximum Ratings, sometimes referred to as no destruction limits, are
normally tested with one parameter at a time exceeding the limits in the Electrical Specification. If exposed to stress above these limits, function and performance
may degrade in an unspecified manner. See technical paper TP023 for details on how data retention time of the Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) of the product is
affected by high temperature.
Configuration File
This product is designed with a digital control circuit. The control circuit uses a configuration file which determines the functionality and performance of the product.
The Electrical Specification table shows parameter values of functionality and performance with the default configuration file, unless otherwise specified. The default
configuration file is designed to fit most application needs with focus on high efficiency. If different characteristics are required it is possible to change the
configuration file to optimize certain performance characteristics.
In this Technical specification examples are included to show the possibilities with digital control. See Operating Information section for information about trade offs
when optimizing certain key performance characteristics.

Note 1. Value refers to total (internal + external) effective output capacitance. Capacitance derating with VO typical for ceramic capacitors (bias characteristics) and
temperature variations must be considered for the external capacitor(s). See section External Output Capacitors.
Note 2. A switching frequency close to 475 kHz should not be used since this frequency represents a boundary of two operational modes of the product. There are
configuration changes to consider when changing the switching frequency, see section Switching Frequency.
Note 3.The restart interval is configurable between 100ms and 700ms in 100ms steps. Severe overcurrent faults occurring with VO > 2.5V may result in a restart
interval of 1200 ms instead of the configured value. See operating conditions for other fault response alternatives.
Note 4. Temperature measured internally at temperature position P3. See section Over Temperature Protection.
Note 5. Same specification applies for soft-stop and TOFF_DELAY/TOFF_FALL if enabled. The internal ramp and delay generators can only achieve certain discrete
timing values. A written TON/OFF_DELAY or TON/OFF_RISE value will be rounded to the closest achievable value, thus a command read-back provides the actual
set value. See section Soft-Start and Soft-Stop.
Note 6.Larger tracking input range is provided by external resistor divider, see section Voltage Tracking.
Note 7. At VO > 3.5V and VO / VI in the approximate range 55-70% there may be an additional current monitoring inaccuracy on the negative side up to -1 A.
Note 8. Factory default settings by PMBUS

Note 1. Value refers to total (internal + external) effective output capacitance. Capacitance derating with VO typical for ceramic capacitors (bias characteristics) and
temperature variations must be considered for the external capacitor(s). See section External Output Capacitors.
Note 2. A switching frequency close to 475 kHz should not be used since this frequency represents a boundary of two operational modes of the product. There are
configuration changes to consider when changing the switching frequency, see section Switching Frequency.
Note 3.The restart interval is configurable between 100ms and 700ms in 100ms steps. Severe overcurrent faults occurring with VO > 2.5V may result in a restart
interval of 1200 ms instead of the configured value. See operating conditions for other fault response alternatives.
Note 4. Temperature measured internally at temperature position P3. See section Over Temperature Protection.
Note 5. Same specification applies for soft-stop and TOFF_DELAY/TOFF_FALL if enabled. The internal ramp and delay generators can only achieve certain discrete
timing values. A written TON/OFF_DELAY or TON/OFF_RISE value will be rounded to the closest achievable value, thus a command read-back provides the actual
set value. See section Soft-Start and Soft-Stop.
Note 6.Larger tracking input range is provided by external resistor divider, see section Voltage Tracking.
Note 7. At VO > 3.5V and VO / VI in the approximate range 55-70% there may be an additional current monitoring inaccuracy on the negative side up to -1 A.
Note 8. Factory default settings by PMBUS

Note 1. Value refers to total (internal + external) effective output capacitance. Capacitance derating with VO typical for ceramic capacitors (bias characteristics) and
temperature variations must be considered for the external capacitor(s). See section External Output Capacitors.
Note 2. A switching frequency close to 475 kHz should not be used since this frequency represents a boundary of two operational modes of the product. There are
configuration changes to consider when changing the switching frequency, see section Switching Frequency.
Note 3.The restart interval is configurable between 100ms and 700ms in 100ms steps. Severe overcurrent faults occurring with VO > 2.5V may result in a restart
interval of 1200 ms instead of the configured value. See operating conditions for other fault response alternatives.
Note 4. Temperature measured internally at temperature position P3. See section Over Temperature Protection.
Note 5. Same specification applies for soft-stop and TOFF_DELAY/TOFF_FALL if enabled. The internal ramp and delay generators can only achieve certain discrete
timing values. A written TON/OFF_DELAY or TON/OFF_RISE value will be rounded to the closest achievable value, thus a command read-back provides the actual
set value. See section Soft-Start and Soft-Stop.
Note 6.Larger tracking input range is provided by external resistor divider, see section Voltage Tracking.
Note 7. At VO > 3.5V and VO / VI in the approximate range 55-70% there may be an additional current monitoring inaccuracy on the negative side up to -1 A.
Note 8. Factory default settings by PMBUS

Note 1. Value refers to total (internal + external) effective output capacitance. Capacitance derating with VO typical for ceramic capacitors (bias characteristics) and
temperature variations must be considered for the external capacitor(s). See section External Output Capacitors.
Note 2. A switching frequency close to 475 kHz should not be used since this frequency represents a boundary of two operational modes of the product. There are
configuration changes to consider when changing the switching frequency, see section Switching Frequency.
Note 3. The restart interval is configurable between 100ms and 700ms in 100ms steps. Severe overcurrent faults occurring with VO > 2.5V may result in a restart
interval of 1200 ms instead of the configured value. See operating conditions for other fault response alternatives.
Note 4. Temperature measured internally at temperature position P3. See section Over Temperature Protection.
Note 5. Same specification applies for soft-stop and TOFF_DELAY/TOFF_FALL if enabled. The internal ramp and delay generators can only achieve certain discrete
timing values. A written TON/OFF_DELAY or TON/OFF_RISE value will be rounded to the closest achievable value, thus a command read-back provides the actual
set value. See section Soft-Start and Soft-Stop.
Note 6. Larger tracking input range is provided by external resistor divider, see section Voltage Tracking.
Note 7. At high duty cycles, VO / VI in the approximate range 55-70% there may be an additional current monitoring inaccuracy on the negative side up to -1 A.
Note 8. Factory default settings by PMBUS

Layout Recommendations
The radiated EMI performance of the product will depend on
the PWB layout and ground layer design. It is also important to
consider the stand-off of the product. If a ground layer is used,
it should be connected to the output of the product and the
equipment ground or chassis.
A ground layer will increase the stray capacitance in the PWB
and improve the high frequency EMC performance.

Operating Information
Power Management Overview
This product is equipped with a PMBus interface. The product
incorporates a wide range of readable and configurable power
management features that are simple to implement
with a minimum of external components. Additionally, the
product includes protection features that continuously
safeguard the load from damage due to unexpected system
faults. A fault is also shown as an alert on the SALERT pin.
The product is delivered with a default configuration suitable for
a wide range of operation in terms of input voltage, output
voltage, and load. The configuration is stored in an internal
Non-Volatile Memory (NVM). All power management functions
can be reconfigured using the PMBus interface. Please contact
your local Flex representative for design support of custom
configurations or appropriate SW tools for design and
download of your own configurations.
Input Under Voltage Lockout, UVLO
The product provides a non-configurable under voltage lockout
(UVLO) circuit that monitors the internal supply of the
converter. Below a certain input voltage level the internal
supply will be too low for proper operation and the product will
be in under voltage lockout, not switching or responding to the
CTRL pin or to PMBus commands.
Input Over Voltage Lockout, OVLO
The product provides a non-configurable over voltage lockout
(OVLO) circuit that will shut down the product when the input
voltage rises above a certain level. The product will not switch,
respond to the CTRL pin or to PMBus commands when being
in over voltage lockout.
Input Turn-On and Turn-Off Voltage
The product monitors the input voltage and will turn-on and
turn-off the output at configured levels (assuming the product
is enabled by CTRL pin or PMBus). The default turn-on input
voltage level is 4.35 V whereas the corresponding turn-off input
voltage level is 3.8 V. The turn-on and turn-off levels may be
reconfigured using the PMBus commands VIN_ON and
VIN_OFF.
Input Under Voltage Protection (IUVP)
The product monitors the input voltage continously and will
respond as configured when the input voltage falls below the
configured threshold level. The product can respond in a
number of ways as follows:
1.
2.
3.

Continue operating without interruption.
Continue operating for a given delay period, followed by
an output voltage shutdown if the fault still exists.

Immediate shutdown of output voltage while the fault is
present. Operation resumes and the output is enabled
when the fault condition no longer exists.
The default response is 4. The IUVP function can be
reconfigured using the PMBus commands
VIN_UV_FAULT_LIMIT and VIN_UV_FAULT_RESPONSE.
Input Over Voltage Protection (IOVP)
The product monitors the input voltage continously and will
respond as configured when the input voltage rises above the
configured threshold level. Refer to section “Input Under
Voltage Protection” for response configuration options and
default setting.
Input and Output Impedance
The impedance of both the input source and the load will
interact with the impedance of the product. It is important that
the input source has low characteristic impedance. If the input
voltage source contains significant inductance, the addition of a
capacitor with low ESR at the input of the product will ensure
stable operation.
External Input Capacitors
The input ripple RMS current in a buck converter can be
estimated to
Eq. 1.
I inputRMS = I load D(1 − D ) ,
where I load is the output load current and D is the duty cycle.
The maximum load ripple current becomes I load 2 . The ripple
current is divided into three parts, i.e., currents in the input
source, external input capacitor, and internal input capacitor.
How the current is divided depends on the impedance of the
input source, ESR and capacitance values in the capacitors.
For most applications non-tantalum capacitors are preferred
due to the robustness of such capacitors to accommodate high
inrush currents of systems being powered from very low
impedance sources. It is recommended to use a combination
of ceramic capacitors and low-ESR electrolytic/polymer bulk
capacitors. The low ESR of ceramic capacitors effectively limits
the input ripple voltage level, while the bulk capacitance
minimizes deviations in the input voltage at large load
transients.
It is recommended to use at least 47 uF of ceramic input
capacitance. At duty cycles between 25% and 75% where the
input ripple current increases (see Eq. 1), additional ceramic
capacitance will help to keep the input ripple voltage low. The
required bulk capacitance depends on the impedance of the
input source and the load transient levels at the output. In
general a low-ESR bulk capacitor of at least 100 uF is
recommended. The larger the duty cycle is, the larger impact
an output load step will have on the input side, thus the larger
bulk capacitance is required to limit the input voltage deviation.
If several products are connected in a phase spreading setup
the amount of input capacitance per product can be reduced.

Input Capacitors must be placed closely and with low
impedance connections to the VIN and GND pins in order to be
effective.
External Output Capacitors
The output capacitor requirement depends on two
considerations; output ripple voltage and load transient
response. To achieve low ripple voltage, the output capacitor
bank must have a low ESR value, which is achieved with
ceramic output capacitors. A small output voltage deviation
during load transients is achieved by using a larger amount of
capacitance. Designs with smaller load transients can use
fewer capacitors and designs with more dynamic load content
will require more load capacitors to achieve a small output
deviation. Improved transient response can also be achieved
by adjusting the settings of the control loop of the product (see
section Compensation Implementation).
It is recommended to locate low ESR ceramic and low ESR
electrolytic/polymer capacitors as close to the load as possible,
using several capacitors in parallel to lower the effective ESR.
It is important to use low resistance and low inductance PCB
layouts and cabling in order for capacitance to be effective.
The control loop of the product is optimized to operate with
low-ESR output capacitors and can achieve a fast loop
transient response with a reduced amount of capacitance.
However, it should be noted that the power stage resonance
frequency FLC (FLC/Fsw) is limited to the range of 1/66 to 1/25.
Using too high or low capacitive load will get FLC is saturated
with value 1/25 or 1/66 and the loop performance will be
impacted. Please contact your Flex sales representative for
further support.
Using different Vout and Iout values could impact the
Cout_DCbias and L_saturation values, and the FLC can be
greatly affected. It’s therefore recommended to read the
ratio_flc to verify that only the LSB varies, and that the MSB is
somewhere in the middle of [25,66].
Dynamic Loop Compensation (DLC)
The typical design of regulated power converters includes a
control function with a feedback loop that can be closed using
either analog or digital circuits. The feedback loop is required
to provide a stable output voltage, but should be optimized for
the output filter to maintain output voltage regulation during
transient conditions such as sudden changes in output current
and/or input voltage. Digitally controlled converters allow one to
optimize loop parameters without the need to change
components on the board, however, optimization can still be
challenging because the key parameters of the output filter
include parasitic impedances in the PCB and the often
distributed filter components themselves.

Dynamic Loop Compensation has been developed to solve the
problem of compensation for a converter with a difficult to
define output filter. This task is achieved by utilization of
algorithms that can characterize an arbitrary output filter based
on behavior of the output voltage in response to a disturbance
initiated by the algorithm, or occurring due to the changes in
operating conditions, and automatically adjust feedback loop
parameters to match the output filter.
Details of the algorithm that is used to characterize an output
filter and the different operational modes can be found in the
following sections.
Compensation Implementation
Unlike PID-based digital power regulators the product uses a
state-space model based algorithm that is valid for both the
small- and large-signal response and accounts for duty-cycle
saturation effects. This eliminates the need for users to
determine and set thresholds for transitioning from linear to
nonlinear modes. These capabilities result in fast loop transient
response and the possibility of reducing the number of output
capacitors.
Compensation calibration is when the resonance frequency FLC
of the output stage is measured. The FLC value is used to
automatically control the compensation. During ramp-up of the
output voltage, robust and low bandwidth default compensation
settings are used based on the default FLC value assigned by
bits 15:0 in PMBus command COMP_MODEL. If the switching
frequency is changed the default FLC should be adjusted
according to Eq. 4 to maintain robust settings.
Eq. 4.
FLC _ DEFAULT =
FSW
32
It is possible for the user to write any FLC value in
COMP_MODEL to be used during ramp-up. This is useful in
cases where improved dynamic performance is needed during
ramp-up. User assignment of FLC in COMP_MODEL is also
needed when calibration is disabled, since in such case the FLC
value used during ramp-up will continue to be used when
ramp-up has finished.
When calibration is enabled (default), an AC low amplitude
measurement signal is applied on the output immediately after
ramp-up has finished. See Electrical Characteristics table for a
specification of this measurement signal. During calibration the
resonant frequency FLC of the power stage is measured. From
the result an internal non-linear model is constructed to
optimize the bandwidth and transient response of the product.
Pole locations of the closed system are automatically selected
based on switching frequency, measured FLC and the output
voltage level.
After each performed calibration, bits 15:0 in COMP_MODEL
are updated with measured FLC, thus this value can be read
out by the user. Note however, as soon as the output voltage is
disabled, the FLC value in COMP_MODEL will revert back to

values of COMP_MODEL should be written to NVM, or, if
written to RAM only, be written before each time the output
voltage is enabled. COMP_MODEL should only be changed in

Calibration is performed continuously in response to a
PMBus command. Controlled by setting/clearing bit 8 in
ADAPTIVE_MODE during operation.
Compensation may be set more or less aggressive by
adjusting the feedback gain factor, controlled by the PMBus
command FEEDBACK_EFFORT. This parameter is
proportional to the open loop gain of the system. Increasing the
gain, i.e the control effort, will reduce the voltage deviation at
load transients, at the expense of somewhat increased jitter
and noise on the output. Users also have access to the PMBus
command ZETAP, which corresponds to the damping ratio of
the closed loop system. By default the product uses 0.5 as the
feedback gain factor and 1.5 for damping ratio, to target a
system bandwidth of 10% of the switching frequency.
In some operating conditions at low output voltages, it is
possible to enhance the recovery time at load release by
enabling Negative Duty Cycle by PMBus command
LOOP_CONFIG.

response due to the compensation calibration, compared to

The CTRL function allows the product to be turned on/off by an
external device like a semiconductor or mechanical switch.
The CTRL pin has an internal 6.8 kΩ pull-up resistor to 3.3 V.
The external device must provide a minimum required sink
current to guarantee a voltage not higher than the logic low
threshold level (see Electrical Characteristics). When the CTRL
pin is left open, the voltage generated on the CTRL pin is 3.3
V.
By default the product provides “positive logic” RC and will turn
on when the CTRL pin is left open and turn off when the CTRL
pin is applied to GND. It is possible to configure “negative
logic” instead by using the PMBus command
ON_OFF_CONFIG.
If the device is to be synchronized to an external clock source,
the clock frequency must be stable prior to asserting the CTRL
pin.

Output Voltage Adjust using PMBus
The output voltage set by pin-strap can be overridden using the
PMBus command VOUT_COMMAND. See Electrical
Specification for adjustment range.
Voltage Margining Up/Down
Using the PMBus interface it is possible to adjust the output
higher or lower than its nominal voltage setting in order to
determine whether the load device is capable of operating over
its specified supply voltage range. This provides a convenient
method for dynamically testing the operation of the load circuit
over its supply margin or range. It can also be used to verify
the function of supply voltage supervisors. Margin limits of the
nominal output voltage ±5% are default, but the margin limits
can be reconfigured using the PMBus commands
VOUT_MARGIN_LOW, VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH. Margining is
activated by the command OPERATION.
Output Voltage Trim
The actual output voltage can be trimmed to optimize
performance of a specific load by setting a non-zero value for
PMBus command VOUT_TRIM. The value of VOUT_TRIM is
summed with VOUT_COMMAND, allowing for multiple
products to be commanded to a common nominal value, but
with slight adjustments per load.
Output Voltage Range Limitation
The output voltage is by default limited to the least of 5.5 V or
110% of the nominal output voltage, where the nominal output
voltage is defined by pin-strap or by VOUT_COMMAND in
Non-Volatile Memory (see section Initialization Procedure).
This protects the load from an over voltage due to an
accidentally written wrong VOUT_COMMAND. The limitation
applies to the regulated output voltage, rather than the internal
value of VOUT_COMMAND. The output voltage limit can be
reconfigured using the PMBus command VOUT_MAX.

Output Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The product includes over voltage limiting circuitry for

OVP limit:
1.

Continue operating without interruption.
Continue operating for a given delay period, followed by
an output voltage shutdown if the fault still exists.
Immediate and definite shutdown of output voltage until
the fault is cleared by PMBus or the output voltage is reenabled.
Immediate shutdown of output voltage while the fault is
present. Operation resumes and the output is enabled
when the fault condition no longer exists.
The default response is 4. The OVP limit and fault response
can be reconfigured using the PMBus commands
VOUT_OV_FAULT_LIMIT and
VOUT_OV_FAULT_RESPONSE.
Output Under Voltage Protection (UVP)
The product includes output under voltage limiting circuitry for
protection of the load. The default UVP limit is 15% below the
nominal output voltage. Refer to section “Output Over Voltage
Protection” for response configuration options and default
setting.
Power Good
PG (Power Good) is an active high open drain output used to
indicate when the product is ready to provide regulated output
voltage to the load. During startup and during a fault condition,
PG is held low.
By default, PG is asserted high after the output has ramped to
a voltage above 90% of the nominal voltage and a successful
compensation calibration has completed.
By default, PG is deasserted if the output voltage falls below
85% of the nominal voltage. These limits may be changed
using the PMBus commands POWER_GOOD_ON and
POWER_GOOD_OFF.
The PG output is not defined during ramp up of the input
voltage due to the initialization of the product.
Over Current Protection (OCP)
The product includes robust current limiting circuitry for
protection at continuous overload. After ramp-up is complete
the product can detect an output overload/short condition. The
following OCP response options are available:
1.
2.
3.
Continue operating without interruption (this could result in
permanent damage to the product).
Immediate and definite shutdown of output voltage until
the fault is cleared by PMBus or the output voltage is reenabled.

Switching Frequency
The default switching frequency yields optimal performance.
The switching frequency can be re-configured in a certain

The default FLC value in COMP_MODEL should be

Adjustment of the fixedDTR and fixedDTF values in
DEADTIME_GCTRL may be required, for higher switching
frequencies in particular.
Changing the switching frequency will affect efficiency/power
dissipation, load transient response and output ripple.
Synchronization
The product may be synchronized with an external clock to
eliminate beat noise on the input and output voltage lines by
connecting the clock source to the SYNC pin. Synchronization
can also be utilized for phase spreading, described in section
Phase Spreading.
The clock frequency of the external clock source must be
stable prior to enabling the output voltage. Further, the PMBus
command FREQUENCY_SWITCH must be set to a value
close to the frequency of the external clock prior to enabling
the output voltage, in order to set the internal controller in
proper operational mode.
The product automatically checks for a clock signal on the
SYNC pin when input power is applied and when the output is
enabled. If no incoming clock signal is present, the product will
use the internal oscillator at the configued switching frequency.
In the event of a loss of the external clock signal during normal
operation, the product will automatically switch to the internal
oscillator and switch at a frequency close to the original SYNC
input frequency.
Phase Spreading

requirements and efficiency losses, since the peak current
drawn from the input supply is effectively spread out over the
whole switch period. This requires that the products are
synchronized.

The default phase offset can be overridden by using the
standard PMBus command INTERLEAVE. The phase offset
can then be defined as
Phase _ offset (°) = 360° ×
Interleave _ order
Number _ in _ group
Interleave_order is in the range 0-15. Number_in_group is in
the range 0-15 where a value of 0 means 16. The set
resolution for the phase offset is 360° / 128 ≈ 2.8°.
Giving the PMBus command INTERLEAVE a value of 0x0000
will revert back to the default address controlled phase offset.

Soft-start and Soft-stop
The soft-start and soft-stop control functionality allows the
output voltage to ramp-up and ramp-down with defined timing
with respect to the control of the output. This can be used to
control inrush current and manage supply sequencing of
multiple controllers.
The rise time is the time taken for the output to ramp to its
target voltage while the fall time is the time taken for the output
to ramp down from its regulation voltage to less than 10% of
that value. The on delay time sets a delay from when the
output is enabled until the output voltage starts to ramp up. The
off delay time sets a delay from when the output is disabled
Once this procedure is completed and the initialization time has until the output voltage starts to ramp down.

Note the following implications of the initialization procedure:
•
If the RSET pin-strap resistance is changed, input voltage
will have to be cycled before the output voltage level is
affected.
•
If VOUT_COMMAND is changed and stored to User NVM,
input voltage will have to be cycled before the output
voltage related commands in the table below are re-scaled
according to the new output voltage level.
See section PMBus Interface for more information about the
Non-Volatile Memories (NVM) of the product.
Soft-stop is disabled by default but may be enabled through the
PMBus command ON_OFF_CONFIG. The delay and ramp
times can be reconfigured using the PMBus commands
TON_DELAY, TON_RISE, TOFF_DELAY and TOFF_FALL.
The internal delay generator can only achieve certain discrete
timing values. A written TON_DELAY/TOFF_DELAY value will
be rounded to the closest achievable value, thus a
TON_DELAY/OFF_DELAY read will provide the actual set
value.
The internal ramp generator can only achieve certain discrete
timing values for a given combination of switch frequency,
output voltage level, set ramp time and trim data. These values
are close, but not exactly the same, when any of the relevant
parameters are altered. A written TON_RISE/TOFF_FALL
value will be rounded to the closest achievable value, thus a
TON_RISE/TOFF_FALL read will provide the actual set value.

Output Voltage Sequencing
A group of products may be configured to power up in a
predetermined sequence. This feature is especially useful
when powering advanced processors, FPGAs, and ASICs that
require one supply to reach its operating voltage prior to
another. Multi-product sequencing can be achieved by
configuring the start delay and rise time of each device through
the PMBus interface and by connecting the CTRL pin of each
product to a common enable signal.

Voltage Tracking
The product supports tracking of the output from a master
voltage applied to the CS_VTRK pin. To select the tracking
mode, a resistance ≤ 4.22 kΩ must be connected between the
VSET and PREF pins.
The tracking ratio used is controlled by an internal feedback
divider RDIV and an external resistive voltage divider (R1, R2)
which is placed from the supply being tracked to GND pins.

Pre-Bias Startup Capability
Pre-bias startup often occurs in complex digital systems when
current from another power source is fed back through a dualsupply logic component, such as FPGAs or ASICs. The
product incorporates synchronous rectifiers, but will not sink
current during startup, or turn off, or whenever a fault shuts
down the product in a pre-bias condition.
When the output is enabled the product checks the output for
the presence of pre-bias voltage. If the pre-bias voltage is
above the output overvoltage threshold the product will not
attempt soft-start. If the pre-bias voltage is less than 200 mV
the soft-start is performed assuming no pre-bias. If the pre-bias
voltage is above 200 mV but below target output voltage, the
product ramps up the output voltage from the pre-bias voltage
to the target regulation as shown in the figure below.

should save the new value to User Non-Volatile Memory (using
STORE_USER_ALL command) and recycle the input voltage
to set a new RDIV operational value.
To simplify resistor selection it is recommended to fix R1 at 10
kΩ and use the following equation to determine R2:
VTRACK
R 2(kΩ) = R1 ×
− 1
RDIV × VOUT
Eq. 6
R2 must be chosen so that the CS_VTRK input does not
exceed 1.2 V.
As seen in Eq. 5, if the resistor-divider ratio from R1//R2 is
chosen such that it is equal to the operational RDIV, the output
voltage follows the tracking voltage coincidentally. For all other
cases, the output voltage follows a ratiometric tracking. These
two modes of tracking are further described below.
1. Coincident tracking. Output voltage is ramped at the same
rate as the VTRACK voltage. To achieve coincident tracking
the desired output voltage should be set by the PMBus
command VOUT_COMMAND. R2 should be set so that R2
= R1 / RDIV – R1. The output will stop ramping when the
VOUT_COMMAND level is reached. Since the voltage at
the CS_VTRK pin must be below 1.2 V, coincident tracking
will not be possible in all cases. A higher R2 value may be
required, giving a ratiometric tracking instead.

2. Ratiometric tracking. Output voltage is ramped at a rate
that is a percentage of the VTRACK voltage. To achieve
ratiometric tracking, R2 should be set according to Eq. 6
with VOUT being the desired output voltage. The PMBus
command VOUT_COMMAND should be set equal to or
higher than the output voltage given by Eq. 5, or not being
set at all giving the default VOUT_COMMAND value 5.25
V. Since the target voltage level is decided by the R1//R2
divider there will be a small regulation inaccuracy due to
the tolerance of the resistors. Note also that VOUT will be
higher than VTRACK if R1 / (R1 + R2) > RDIV.

R2 = 10 / 0.31597– 10 = 21.6 kΩ
During voltage tracking compensation calibration is triggered
when the output voltage is above 450 mV and stable within a
100 mV window for two consecutive measurements at 10 ms
intervals. When calibration is complete, the power good (PG)
output is asserted. The PG output remains asserted until the
output voltage falls below 450 mV, as verified at 10 ms
intervals. For this reason, the PG output may remain high for
as much as 10 ms after the output voltage has fallen below
450 mV.
When voltage tracking is enabled the output over voltage
protection limit is set 12% above VOUT_COMMAND as
default. This limit may be reconfigured using the PMBus
command VOUT_OV_FAULT_LIMIT. Output under voltage
protection is not functional in tracking mode.
Soft-start parameters TON_DELAY and TON_RISE are not
functional in tracking mode and will be set to their minimum
values to prevent interference with tracking. TOFF_DELAY and
TOFF_FALL can be used if soft-stop is enabled. In such case
the output voltage will follow the least of the output levels given
by the soft-stop parameters and the tracking equations.

Thermal Consideration
General
The product is designed to operate in different thermal
environments and sufficient cooling must be provided to ensure
reliable operation. Cooling is achieved mainly by conduction,
from the pins to the host board, and convection, which is
dependent on the airflow across the product. Increased airflow
enhances the cooling of the product.
The Output Current Derating graph found in the Output section
for each model provides the available output current vs.
ambient air temperature and air velocity at specified VI.
The product is tested on a 254 x 254 mm, 35 µm (1 oz), test
board mounted vertically in a wind tunnel with a cross-section
of 608 x 203 mm. The test board has 8 layers.
Proper cooling of the product can be verified by measuring the
temperature at positions P1, P2 and P3. The temperature at
these positions should not exceed the max values provided in
the table below. Note that the max value is the absolute
maximum rating (non destruction) and that the electrical Output
data is guaranteed up to TP1 +95°C.
See Design Note 019 for further information.
Definition of Product Operating Temperature
The product operating temperature is used to monitor the
temperature of the product. Proper thermal conditions can be
verified by measuring the temperature at positions P1, P2 and
P3. The temperature at these position (TP1,TP2, TP3) should not
exceed the maximum temperatures in the table below. The
number of measurement points may vary with different thermal
design and topology.

Definition of Reference Temperature TP1
The reference temperature is used to monitor the temperature
limits of the product. Temperature above maximum TP1,
measured at the reference point P1 is not allowed and may
cause degradation or permanent damage to the product. TP1 is
also used to define the temperature range for normal operating
conditions. TP1 is defined by the design and used to guarantee
safety margins, proper operation and high reliability of the
product.
Alternative Thermal Verification
Since it is difficult to access positions P1 and P3 of the product,
measuring the temperature at only position P2 is an alternative
method to verify proper thermal conditions. If measuring only
TP2 the maximum temperature of P2 must be lowered since in
some operating conditions TP1 will be higher than TP2. Using a
temperature limit of 115°C for TP2 will make sure that the
temperatures at all points P1, P2 and P3 stay below their
maximum limits.
Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
The internal temperature of the product is continously
monitored at position P3. When the internal temperature rises
above the configured threshold level the product will respond
as configured. The product can respond in a number of ways
as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Continue operating without interruption (this could result in
permanent damage to the product).
Continue operating for a given delay period, followed by
an output voltage shutdown if the fault still exists.
Immediate and definite shutdown of output voltage until
the fault is cleared by PMBus or the output voltage is reenabled.
Immediate shutdown of output voltage while the fault is
present. Operation resumes and the output is enabled
when the fault condition no longer exists.
Default response is 4. The OTP protection uses hysteresis so
that the fault exists until the temperature has fallen to a certain
level (OT_WARN_LIMIT) below the fault threshold. The default
OTP threshold and hysteresis are specified in Electrical
Characteristics.
The OTP limit, hysteresis and response can be reconfigured
using the PMBus commands OT_FAULT_LIMIT,
OT_WARN_LIMIT and OT_FAULT_RESPONSE.
The product also incorporates a non-configurable hard-coded
thermal shutdown associated with the temperature monitored
at position P3 to ensure long-term flash-memory integrity. See
Electrical Characteristics.

Unused Pins
Unused pins should be connected according to the table
below. Note that connection of CS_VTRK to PREF is required

Further layout recommendations are listed below.
•
The pin strap resistors, RSET, and RSA0/RSA1 should be
placed as close to the product as possible to minimize
loops that may pick up noise.

Avoid current carrying planes under the pin strap resistors
and the PMBus signals.

Care should be taken in the routing of the connections
from the sensed output voltage to the S+ and S–
terminals. These sensing connections should be routed as
a differential pair, preferably between ground planes which
are not carrying high currents. The routing should avoid
areas of high electric or magnetic fields.
•
If possible use planes on several layers to carry VI, VO and
GND. There should be a large number of vias close to the
VIN, VOUT and GND pads in order to lower input and
output impedances and improve heat spreading between
the product and the host board.

PMBus Interface
This product provides a PMBus digital interface that enables
the user to configure many aspects of the device operation as
well as to monitor the input and output voltages, output current
and device temperature. The product can be used with any
standard two-wire I2C or SMBus host device. In addition, the
product is compatible with PMBus version 1.1 and includes an
SALERT line to help mitigate bandwidth limitations related to
continuous fault monitoring. The PMBus signals, SCL, SDA
and SALERT require passive pull-up resistors as stated in the
SMBus Specification. Pull-up resistors are required to
guarantee the rise time as follows:
τ = RP C p ≤ 1µs
where Rp is the pull-up resistor value and Cp is the bus
loading. The maximum allowed bus load is 400 pF. The pull-up
resistor should be tied to an external supply voltage in range
from 2.7 to 3.6 V, which should be present prior to or during
power-up. If the proper power supply is not available, voltage
dividers may be applied. Note that in this case, the resistance
in the equation above corresponds to parallel connection of the
resistors forming the voltage divider.
See application note AN304 for details on interfacing the
product with a microcontroller.
Monitoring via PMBus
It is possible to monitor a wide variety of parameters through
the PMBus interface. Fault conditions can be monitored using
the SALERT pin, which will be asserted when any number of
pre-configured fault or warning conditions occur. It is also
possible to continuously monitor one or more of the power
conversion parameters including but not limited to the
following:
•

Output current (READ_IOUT)
Internal junction temperature (READ_TEMPERATURE_1)
Switching frequency (READ_FREQUENCY)

Reading Set Parameters
To clearly display the true performance of the product, PMBus
command reads of set levels, limits and timing parameters will
return the internally used values. For this reason, due to
rounding or internal representation in the controller of the
product, there may be a difference between written and read
value of a PMBus command. This applies to PMBus
commands of type Linear or VoutLinear. When verifying write
transactions, tolerances according to the table below can be
used.

Non-Volatile Memory (NVM)
The product incorporates two Non-Volatile Memory areas for
storage of the supported PMBus commands; the Default NVM
and the User NVM.
The Default NVM is pre-loaded with Flex factory default values.
The Default NVM is write-protected and can be used to restore
the Flex factory default values through the command
RESTORE_DEFAULT_ALL. The RESTORE_DEFAULT_ALL
command will load a nominal output level of 0 V. Therefore,
after a RESTORE_DEFAULT_ALL command is sent, the input
voltage must be cycled in order to load correct output voltage
level according to VSET pin-strap resistor (see section Startup
procedure).
The User NVM is pre-loaded with Flex factory default values.
The User NVM is writable and open for customization. The
values in the User NVM are loaded during initialization
whereafter commands can be changed through the PMBus
Interface. The STORE_USER_ALL command will store the
changed parameters to the User NVM.

PMBus Addressing
The PMBus address should be configured with resistors
connected between the SA0/SA1 pins and the PREF pin, as
shown in the table and figure below. Note that five different
values of RSA1 produce the same address. Recommended
resistor values for hard-wiring PMBus addresses are shown in
the table. 1% tolerance resistors are required. The configurable
PMBus addresses range from 0x0A to 0x7F. In total 118
device address combinations are provided.

Soldering Information - Surface Mounting
Lead-free (Pb-free) solder processes
The surface mount product is intended for forced convection or
vapor phase reflow soldering in SnPb or Pb-free processes.
For Pb-free solder processes, a pin temperature (TPIN) in
excess of the solder melting temperature (TL, 217 to 221°C for
SnAgCu solder alloys) for more than 30 seconds and a peak
temperature of 235°C on all solder joints is recommended to
ensure a reliable solder joint.
The reflow profile should be optimised to avoid excessive
heating of the product. It is recommended to have a sufficiently
extended preheat time to ensure an even temperature across
the host PCB and it is also recommended to minimize the time
in reflow.
A no-clean flux is recommended to avoid entrapment of
cleaning fluids in cavities inside the product or between the
product and the host board, since cleaning residues may affect
long time reliability and isolation voltage.

Maximum Product Temperature Requirements
Top of the product PCB near pin A2 or A5 is chosen as
reference locations for the maximum (peak) allowed product
temperature (TPRODUCT) since these will likely be the warmest
part of the product during the reflow process.
Time
Minimum Pin Temperature Recommendations
Pin number C1 or D1 are chosen as reference location for the
minimum pin temperature recommendation since these will
likely be the coolest solder joint during the reflow process.
For Pb-free solder processes, the product is qualified for MSL 3
according to IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020C.
During reflow TPRODUCT must not exceed 260 °C at any time.
Dry Pack Information
Surface mounted versions of the products are delivered in
standard moisture barrier bags according to IPC/JEDEC
standard J-STD-033 (Handling, packing, shipping and use of
moisture/reflow sensitivity surface mount devices).
Using products in high temperature Pb-free soldering
processes requires dry pack storage and handling. In case the
products have been stored in an uncontrolled environment and
no longer can be considered dry, the modules must be baked
according to J-STD-033.

SnPb solder processes
For SnPb solder processes, a pin temperature (TPIN) in excess
of the solder melting temperature, (TL, 183°C for Sn63Pb37) for
more than 30 seconds and a peak temperature of 210°C is
recommended to ensure a reliable solder joint.
For dry packed products only: depending on the type of solder
paste and flux system used on the host board, up to a
recommended maximum temperature of 245°C could be used,
if the products are kept in a controlled environment (dry pack
handling and storage) prior to assembly.

Surface Mount Assembly and Repair
The LGA of the product require particular care during
assembly since the LGA´s are hidden between the host board
and the product’s PCB. Special procedures are required for
successful rework of these products.
Assembly
Automatic pick and place equipment should be used to mount
the product on the host board. The use of a vision system,
utilizing the fiducials on the bottom side of the product, will
ensure adequate accuracy. Manual mounting of solder bump
products is not recommended.
ROUND SPROCKET
HOLES
This module with inductor-glued options can be used on the
bottom side of a customer host board. If such an assembly is
attempted for the module with other options, components may
fall off the module during the second reflow process.
Repair
For a successful repair (removal and replacement) of a LGA
product, a dedicated rework system should be used. The
rework system should preferably utilize a reflow station and a
bottom side heater might also be needed for the operation.
The product is an open frame design with a pick up surface on
a large central component (in this case the choke). This pick
up surface can be used for removal of the module provided
that it is glued against module PCB before removal to prevent
it from separating from the module PCB.
For specific instructions regarding removal and re-solder of
the module refer to 1541 - BMR 461.
