9 Typical Application
Figure 3. Typical Application Schematic of Multiple Output System with Digital Power Manager and I
2
C Interface
The schematic of a typical application of a ZM7300 digital power manager (DPM) is shown in Figure 3.
The system includes four groups of Z-One Point Of Load converters (POLs). A group is defined as one
or more POL converters interconnected via OK pins. Grouping of the POLs enables users to program
advanced fault management schemes and define margining functions, monitoring, startup behavior, and
reporting conventions.
All Z-One POL converters are connected to the DPM and to each other via a single-wire
synchronization/data (SD) line. The line provides synchronization of all POL converters to the master
clock generated by the DPM and simultaneously carries bidirectional data transfer between POL
converters and the DPM. The DPM communicates via the I
2
C bus with the host system and/or the
Graphical User Interface.
In this application, besides Z-One POL converters, the DPM also controls and monitors two auxiliary
devices a Voltage Regulation Module (VRM) and a Low Dropout Regulator (LDO). While these
devices are not Z-One compliant and may not even be manufactured by Power-One, they are integrated
into the system by communicating with the DPM via their Enable pins connected to ENX outputs of the
DPM. In addition, the DPM monitors status of the auxiliary devices via its PGX inputs connected to
Power Good and Error Flag outputs of the auxiliary devices. The DPM can control and monitor four or
more independent auxiliary devices.

The DPM can also trigger an optional crowbar circuit and provide undervoltage and overvoltage
protections of the intermediate bus voltage. In addition, the DPM can be controlled by a host system via
the interrupt inputs, RES_N and the ACFAIL_N inputs.
10 Description
The ZM7300 series DPMs perform translation between the I
2
C interface connected to a host system or
the Graphical User Interface and the SD communication bus connected to Z-series POL converters. In
addition, DPMs carry out programming, monitoring, data storage, POL group management, hot-swap
control, protection, and control and monitoring of auxiliary devices.
The DPMs can be controlled via the GUI or directly via the I
2
C bus by using specific commands
described in the “DPM Programming Manual”.
10.1
DPM Memory
The DPM memory consists of RAM and non-volatile memory (Flash). The RAM is used for
programming perations and manipulation of the various blocks of configuration, setup, status, and
monitoring registers. The non-volatile memory is used to store programming and configuration data.
The DPM memory includes DPM registers, POL setup registers, monitoring data, and user memory as
shown in Figure 4. Setup registers for the DPM and the POL converters are protected by CRCs that are
checked during programming of POL converters and at the power-up of the DPM.
The LCK_N pin and the write protection register WP limit the write access to the memory blocks in the
DPM and POL converters. The WP register content is defaulted to write protect upon powering up the
DPM.
Figure 4. DPM Memory and Write Protection
ZM7300G Series Digital Power Manager
Data Sheet
ZD-00896 Rev. 5.0 10FEB2009 www.power-one.com Page 9 of 33
10.1.1 Write Protection
There are hardware-based and software-based memory write protections. The hardware protection
takes precedence over the software protection.
10.1.1.1 Hardware Protection
The LCK_N pin enables the hardware memory write protection. If the pin is pulled low, the hardware
lock is active and the memory blocks are then read-only. I
2
C write commands to the DPM return an
error code (0x00). The write commands to the POL converters bypassing the DPM are also disabled. If
the pin is left floating, the hardware lock is disabled and the software write protection is active.
10.1.1.2 Software Protection
The software write protection allows users to protect the various memory blocks from being overwritten
through the I
2
C bus. At the power-up the WP register is defaulted to write protect.
The software write protection can be disabled by checking appropriate boxes in the Write Protections
window shown in Figure 5 or via the I
2
C bus by writing directly into the register. The write protections
are automatically restored when the DPM’s input power is recycled.
Figure 5. GUI Write Protections Window
10.1.2 DPM Registers
The DPM setup registers occupy 70 bytes and contain all necessary information to set up the DPM
functionality, define POL converters and Auxiliary Devices, group membership and behavior, margining,
interrupt configurations, etc.
The DPM registers are listed in
Table 1
. The table relates to the DPM model number ZM7332 capable
of supporting up to 32 POL converters. For other DPM models some of the registers and/or bits in the
registers are not activated depending on the number of supported POLs/Groups/Interrupts/Parallel
Buses for the specific DPM. Writing into an unsupported register or bit will have no effect, reading from
an unsupported register or bit will return an error code (0x00).

The static registers are saved in the non-volatile memory and used to store the system configuration
data. The run-time registers contain status information and are evaluated during run-time. The Write
Protection register WP is a volatile register that defaults to write protect at power-up.
10.1.3 POL Setup Registers
Since the POL converters contain only RAM, the data defining performance parameters for each POL
and Auxiliary Device, such as the output voltage, protection thresholds, feedback loop compensation,
turn-on and turn-off delays, fault management settings, etc., is stored in the POL setup registers in the
DPM. The POL setup registers consist of 23 data bytes and 2 CRC bytes. The Auxiliary Device setup
registers occupy the same amount of bytes as a POL converter, but only 3 registers have meaningful
data. The other registers should be filled with 0x00. The POL setup registers are listed in Table 2.

10.1.4 Monitoring Data
The DPMs can retrieve current, temperature, output voltage, and status information from each of the
POL converters and status information only from Auxiliary Devices. Monitoring data is stored in RAM
and can be accessed via the I
2
C bus. Monitoring registers are read only.
The monitoring data consists of 5 Bytes for each POL converter and Auxiliary Device as shown in Table
3. When the status monitoring is enabled, the ST registers get continuously updated. When the
parametric monitoring is enabled, the VOH, VOL, IO, and TMP registers get continuously updated.

10.2
Auxiliary Devices
The ZM7300 DPM includes all necessary circuitry to control and monitor four Auxiliary Devices.
Virtually any device which has an on/off input and a monitoring output can be an Auxiliary Device.
Typical examples of Auxiliary Devices include analog POL converters, linear regulators, and fans.
Auxiliary Devices are controlled and monitored via the Graphical User Interface.
The DPM treats Auxiliary Devices as Z-One™ POL converters: each Auxiliary Device has an address
and is assigned to one of the groups as shown in Figure 9 (device at addresses 03). Turn-on and off
delays can be programmed, and faults can be propagated from POL converters to the devices.
Auxiliary Devices are controlled through standard group turn-on and off commands and are fully
synchronized with turn-on/off timing of POL converters.

status of the Auxiliary Devices. The enable outputs and monitoring inputs are paired together and
permanently assigned to specific pins of the DPM as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. Auxiliary Device Type Window
Turn-on and turn-off delays can be programmed for each Auxiliary Device as shown in Figure 8. Timing
of turn-on and turn-off events can be synchronized between Auxiliary Devices and POL converters by
programming appropriate delays for specific types of devices.

DPM Functions
10.3.1 POL Programming
POL programming is the process of downloading the content of POL setup registers stored in DPM’s
non-volatile memory via the SD bus to the POL converters.
Programming of POL converters is performed upon power-up, or when the Program Config… button is
pressed in the GUI System Configuration window shown in Figure 9, or when the specific command is
sent directly via the I
2
C bus.
Figure 9. System Configuration Window
The programming is performed in several steps. Once the supply voltage on the VDD pins of the DPM
exceeds the UVLO protection threshold, the DPM will start copying setup registers from its non-volatile
memory into RAM and execute the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) to ensure integrity of the
programming data. When the voltage on the IBVS pin exceeds the IBV undervoltage protection
threshold, the DPM will download POL setup registers to the respective POL converter via the SD line.
Every data transfer is protected by parity check and followed by the POL acknowledgement and read
data back procedure. If both acknowledgement and readback operations are successful, the POL-

specific bit in the POL Programming Status registers will be set. The DPM considers the POL converter
to be programmed, and continues programming the next POL converter.
Upon completion of the programming, the DPM will turn-on the POL converters, if the Auto Turn-On is
enabled in the POL Group configuration window shown in Figure 10. Otherwise, the user will need to
send the turn-on command via the I
2
C bus.

The programming data (DPM and POL setup registers and the user memory) can be preloaded into
DPMs by Power-One or the DPMs can be programmed by the user via the GUI, I
2
C bus, or JTAG
programming interface. The DPMs can be programmed either before or after installation on a host
board.
To modify POL converter settings, the user can directly access the registers of a POL converter via the
I
2
C bus, bypassing DPM’s POL setup registers. The I
2
C commands are translated by the DPM and
converted into appropriate SD commands to read / write from / into the registers of a POL converter.
Writing into these registers is limited by the hardware (LCK_N) and/or software write protections. Since
POL converters do not have non-volatile memory, data written directly into POL converter registers will
be lost when the input voltage is removed.
10.4
Monitoring
10.4.1 POL Monitoring
Z-One™ POL converters continuously monitor their own performance parameters such as output
voltage, output current, and temperature. The monitored parameters are stored locally in the POL
converters and updated every 1ms. If monitoring feature is enabled, the DPM will be continuously
copying status and parametric data from POL converters into DPM’s monitoring data registers.
The monitoring is enabled by checking the appropriate Retrieve Monitoring bits in the GUI Group
Configuration window shown in Figure 10 or directly via the I
2
C bus by specific commands.
If the status monitoring is enabled, the status of each protection (overcurrent, overvoltage, etc.) is being
reported. If the parametric monitoring is enabled, then real-time values of voltage, current, and
temperature are being reported.
Status and parametric monitoring data of a single POL converter and groups of POL converters can be
examined in the GUI IBS Monitoring Window shown in Figure 11 or directly via the I
2
C bus using
specific commands. Status data for each group of POL converters is presented in the Group Status
block in the left top corner of the window. Parametric data for individual POL converters is shown in
Voltage [V], Current [A], and Temp [T] screens.
DPMs also monitor and report programming status of each POL converter and results of CRC
operations.
ZM7300G Series Digital Power Manager

ZD-00896 Rev. 5.0 10FEB2009 www.power-one.com Page 17 of 33
10.4.2 Monitoring of Auxiliary Devices
The DPM can read status information of the Auxiliary Devices via the PG0…PG3 inputs. The
PG0…PG3 are digital 3.3V compliant inputs with internal pull-up resistors. Logic high input on a PGX
pin should correspond to normal operation of an Auxiliary Device.
Status monitoring data of Auxiliary Devices is stored in the DPM and displayed in the IBS Monitoring
Window shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11. IBS Monitoring Window
10.4.3 Run Time Counter
The DPM also monitors the duration of time that it has been in operation. The 4 bytes Run Time
Counter is active whenever the DPM is powered up. The count rate is 1 second. The counter is loaded
into RAM upon power-up and the new count state is periodically saved to the non-volatile memory.
Contents of the counter can be examined in the GUI IBS Monitoring Window shown in Figure 11 or
directly via the I
2
C bus using specific commands.

10.4.4 IBV Monitoring
The DPM continuously monitors the intermediate bus voltage via the IBVS input and the built-in 10-bit
ADC. The digital representation of the bus voltage is stored in RAM and reported in the IBS Monitoring
window shown in Figure 11.
In addition, the DPM continuously compares the value of IBV to the Undervoltage and Overvoltage
thresholds programmed in the GUI Intermediate Bus Configuration Window shown in Figure 12.
Figure 12. Intermediate Bus Configuration Window
The thresholds have a symmetric, fixed size hysteresis as shown in Figure 13
Figure 13: Undervoltage (IBL) and Overvoltage (IBH) Protections Hysteresis
When the IBV decreases below the IBL threshold minus the hysteresis, the DPM will pull OK lines low
turning off all POL converters. The POL converters will execute regular turn-off ramping their output
voltages down according to the turn-off delay and falling slew rate settings. In addition, the DPM will
clear all bits in the POL Programming Status registers and save the content of the Run Time Counter
into the non-volatile memory. The IBV Low bit in the IBS Monitoring Window will change to red. When
the IBV recovers above the IBL threshold plus the hysteresis, the DPM will first program all POL
ZM7300G Series Digital Power Manager
Data Sheet
ZD-00896 Rev. 5.0 10FEB2009 www.power-one.com Page 19 of 33
converters and then turn them on, if the Auto Turn-On is enabled in the POL Group configuration
window shown in Figure 10. Otherwise, the user will need to send the turn-on command via the I
2
C
bus.
When the IBV exceeds the IBH threshold plus the hysteresis, the DPM will pull OK lines low turning off
all POL converters. The POL converters will execute regular turn-off ramping their output voltages
down according to the turn-off delay and falling slew rate settings. In addition, the DPM will save the
contents of the Run Time Counter into the non-volatile memory. If the IBV does not decrease below the
IBH threshold minus the hysteresis within the next 50ms, the DPM will pull low the FE_EN output and
clear all bits in the POL Programming Status registers. The IBV High bit in the IBS Monitoring Window
will change to red. If the IBV still does not change, in 50ms the DPM will pull the CB pin high for 1ms to
trigger an optional crowbar protection.
One second after the IBV decreases below the IBH threshold minus the hysteresis, the DPM will pull the
FE_EN high and program all POL converters. Upon completion of the programming process, the DPM
will turn on the POL converters, if the Auto Turn-On is enabled in the POL Group configuration window
shown in Figure 10.
The propagation delay between the IBV increasing/decreasing above/below corresponding thresholds
and the DPM pulling down OK lines and triggering the turn-off process is approximately 1ms.
10.4.4.1 Voltage Reference
For the purposes of IBV monitoring the user can select either the DPM’s internal voltage reference or an
external 2.5V voltage reference. The selection is made by clicking an appropriate radio button in the
DPM Type Selection window shown in Figure 14.
Figure 14. DPM Type Selection Window
The DPM’s internal 2.56V voltage reference guarantees 10% overall accuracy of the IBV protection
thresholds. If the accuracy is sufficient, the user does not need to make any changes to the schematic
shown in Figure 3. If higher accuracy of the IBV monitoring is desired, then a 2.5V external reference
ZM7300G Series Digital Power Manager
Data Sheet
ZD-00896 Rev. 5.0 10FEB2009 www.power-one.com Page 20 of 33
can be added as shown in Figure 15. The GUI automatically changes values of the IBL and IBH
thresholds when the reference selection is changed.
Note: If the Reference Voltage setting is changed during operation of the DPM, then the power to the DPM
needs to be cycled or the HRES_N pin needs to be pulled low and released
Figure 15. External Voltage Reference Connections
U1 and R1 are additional components. U1 is an industry standard 2.5V voltage reference such as
TL431 or similar. C1 is an existing component but its value changes depending on the type of voltage
reference. Common voltage reference part numbers and values of associated components are shown
in Table 4.

Accuracy, % 0.5, 1, 2 0.5, 1, 2
R1, Ohms 100-620 510-2000
C1, µF 10 0.01
Accuracy of the protection thresholds in the case of external reference is determined by the sum of
accuracy of the voltage reference, accuracy of the 10k/47k resistive divider shown in Figure 15, and
conversion error of the internal ADC specified in 8.2.
10.5
POL Group Management
POL converters and Auxiliary Devices can be arranged in up to four groups. A group of POL converters
is defined as a number of POL converters with interconnected OK pins. Auxiliary Devices are added to
a group in the GUI, without any external connections. A group can include from 1 to 32 POL converters,
but a POL converter can be a member of only one group. In addition, the OK lines can be connected to
the DPM to facilitate propagation of faults and errors between groups. One DPM can manage up to four
independent groups: A, B, C, and D, depending on model of the DPM.
Group management includes fault and error propagation, margining, turn-on and turn-off, monitoring
setup, and interrupt configuration.
ZM7300G Series Digital Power Manager
Data Sheet
ZD-00896 Rev. 5.0 10FEB2009 www.power-one.com Page 21 of 33
10.5.1 Fault and Error Propagation
Z-series POL converters protect outputs by triggering either a fault or an error depending on the severity
of the problem (see POL converter datasheets). Fault propagation between POL converters belonging
to the same group is a programmable function of POL converters. The DPM allows propagating faults
and errors between groups of POL converters and, in case of an error, to a DC/DC front-end and an
optional crowbar. The propagation delay for fault/error propagations is less than 10µs.
To enable fault and error propagation, the respective bits needs to be checked in the GUI Fault and
Error Propagation window shown in Figure 16. Note that cross propagation of faults/errors (means fault
in Group X propagates to Y and vice versa) should be avoided.
Figure 16. Fault and Error Propagation Window.
The fault propagation from POL converters to the auxiliary devices can be disabled by checking the bit
in the Auxiliary Device Fault Management window as shown in Figure 17. It is not possible to propagate
a fault from an Auxiliary Device to POL converters.

When propagation is enabled, the faulty POL converter pulls its OK pin low. A low OK line initiates turn-
off of other POL converters in the group and signals the DPM to pull other OK lines low to initiate turn-
off of other POL converters as programmed.
The regular turn-off of a POL converter means that the output voltage is ramping down according to its
turn-off delay and falling slew rate settings. If a POL converter triggers an undervoltage or
overtemperature fault, it will initiate the regular turn-off. In the case of an overcurrent or tracking fault,
the POL converter initiates the fast turn-off by opening both high and low side switches instantaneously.
If either output overvoltage or phase voltage errors are triggered, the faulty POL converter initiates the
fast turn-off and turns on its low side switch. In addition, when an error is propagated, the DPM can
generate commands to turn off a front end (a DC-DC converter generating the intermediate bus voltage)
and trigger an optional crowbar protection to accelerate removal of the intermediate bus voltage (IBV).
Once the fault has recovered in the faulty POL converter, the other POL converters will turn on in a
controlled manner according to their turn-on delay and rising slew rate settings.
10.5.2 Margining
Margining can be executed separately for each group by clicking an appropriate radio button in the GUI
IBS monitoring window shown in Figure 11 or directly via the I
2
C bus by the margining command. All
POL converters in a group are margined in the same direction (up or down) by the percentage
programmed individually for each POL converter.
10.5.3 Turn-ON and Turn-Off
Automatic turn–on upon application of the input voltage is enabled by checking the Auto Turn-On bit in
the GUI Group Configuration window shown in Figure 10. Turn-on and turn-off of various groups during
the operation is controlled from the GUI IBS Monitoring window or directly via the I
2
C bus by specific
commands.
10.5.4 Interrupt Configurations
The DPM has four interrupt inputs that can be programmed to:
Inhibit the operation of one or several Groups of POL converters when pulled low or
Act as a Group Reprogramming Trigger.
The two functions are mutually exclusive an interrupt can be either programmed as an Inhibit or as a
Group Reprogramming Trigger.
The interrupts are programmed in the GUI Interrupt Configuration window shown in Figure 18 or directly
via the I
2
C bus by specific commands. In Figure 18 the Interrupt 0 is programmed as the inhibit for
group A and the Interrupt 2 is programmed as the group C reprogramming trigger.
10.5.4.1 Group Inhibit
An interrupt input can be programmed to act as an inhibit on a single or multiple groups of POL converters. When
the interrupt input is pulled low, the DPM will pull the appropriate OK lines low. The affected POL converters will
execute regular turn-off ramping their output voltages down according to the turn-off delay and falling slew rate
settings. Once the interrupt is released, the POL converters will automatically turn-on according to their
turn-on delay and rising slew rates settings.
ZM7300G Series Digital Power Manager
Data Sheet
ZD-00896 Rev. 5.0 10FEB2009 www.power-one.com Page 24 of 33
The inhibit function can be used for a variety of applications, such as
Hardware-based control of groups of POL converters and Auxiliary Devices
Delayed turn-on at power-up (Automatic Turn-On is enabled but the interrupts are held
low during power-up. Note that POL converters can be programmed even when an
interrupt is held low.)
The interrupt inputs should be controlled with open collector devices. The propagation delay between
the external device pulling the interrupt input low and the DPM pulling down OK lines and triggering the
turn-off process is approximately 10µs.
Figure 18. Interrupt Configuration Window
10.5.4.2 Group Reprogramming Trigger
An interrupt that is programmed as a group reprogramming trigger always acts only on one group of
POL converters. Interrupt 0 acts on Group A, Interrupt 1 acts on Group B and so on. The assignment is
fixed and cannot be changed by the user.
When the interrupt is pulled low, the DPM will program the group of POL converters. Upon completion
of the programming, the DPM will turn-on the POL converters, if the Auto Turn-On is enabled. When
the interrupt input is released, the DPM will pull the appropriate OK line low. The POL converters in the
group will execute regular turn-off ramping their output voltages down according to the turn-off delay
and falling slew rate settings. In addition, the DPM will clear all bits in the POL Programming Status
registers.
The group reprogramming trigger is mostly used to support hot swap of boards and daughter cards that
do not have a DPM installed on them as shown in Figure 19.
ZM7300G Series Digital Power Manager
Data Sheet
ZD-00896 Rev. 5.0 10FEB2009 www.power-one.com Page 25 of 33
Figure 19: INT0 Configured as Group A Reprogramming Trigger
In this configuration the Interrupt 0 (INT0_N) is configured as the group A reprogramming trigger. The
DPM is installed on a mother board or a backplane. A daughter card with a group of POL converters is
being inserted in the system during normal operation. At first, the long pins carrying power and the
OK_A line signal make contact. Then the short pins carrying the SD and interrupt signals make contact.
Once the interrupt senses low input voltage, it will command the DPM to program all POL converters in
the group A. Upon completion of the programming, the DPM will turn-on the POL converters, if the Auto
Turn-On is enabled.
When the daughter card is being removed, the interrupt input is released as soon as the short pins
break the contact. The DPM will immediately pull the OK_A line low turning off all POL converters in the
group A according to the turn-off delay and falling slew rate settings.
10.6
Controls
10.6.1 ACFAIL_N and RES_N
The ACFAIL_N and RES_N are active low digital inputs. When one of the inputs is pulled low, the DPM
will pull all OK lines low turning off all the POL converters and the Auxiliary Devices in all groups. The
POL converters will execute regular turn-off ramping their output voltages down according to the turn-off
delay and falling slew rate settings. In addition, the DPM will clear all bits in the POL Programming
Status Registers and save the contents of the Run Time Counter into the non-volatile memory. The
AC_FAIL in or RES_N in bit in the IBS Monitoring Window will change to red. When the input is
released, the DPM will first program all POL converters and then turn them on, if the Auto Turn-On is
enabled. Otherwise, the user will need to send the turn-on command via the I
2
C bus.
The ACFAIL_N is typically connected to an AC-DC front end. Whenever the AC voltage disappears, the
ACFAIL_N signal will be set low. If there is no battery backup, it usually means the DC output will
disappear after 20ms. If the turn-off delays and falling slew rates of each POL converter are set to the
values such that all POL converters will have fully turned off within the hold time of the AC-DC front end,
then output voltage tracking during turn-off is guaranteed.
The RES_N input has the same functionality as the ACFAIL_N input and can be connected to a simple
turn on/off switch or to a sensor that shuts the entire system down when it is activated.
ZM7300G Series Digital Power Manager
Data Sheet
ZD-00896 Rev. 5.0 10FEB2009 www.power-one.com Page 26 of 33
The ACFAIL_N and RES_N inputs should be controlled with open collector devices. The propagation
delay between the external device pulling the input low and the DPM pulling down OK lines and
triggering the turn-off process is approximately 1ms.
10.6.2 Front End Enable
The FE_EN pin is dedicated to the control of a DC-DC Front End. The Front End is typically used to
convert the 48V into the intermediate bus voltage (IBV). If the DPM is powered from an auxiliary
source, not from the IBV, it can control the DC-DC Front End.
When FE_EN is internally pulled up to 3.3V, the Front End is enabled. The FE_EN output can provide
up to 5mA of current. When the FE_EN goes low, the Front End is disabled. The Front End can be
enabled and disabled via the GUI IBS Monitoring Window or directly via the I
2
C bus using specific
commands.
The FE_EN pin should not be directly connected to the Enable pin of the DC-DC Front End. Typically,
the Enable pin is referenced to the primary side of the Front End that is isolated from the low voltage
secondary side. In addition, the Enable pin can be pulled up internally to a voltage potentially damaging
to the DPM FE_EN output. The best method is to interface the DPM with the Front End through an
optocoupler as shown in Figure 20. This configuration provides interface for negative logic front ends.

10.6.3 Crowbar
When the crowbar protection is enabled, the CB pin is internally pulled up to 3.3V for 1ms. It is capable
of supplying 5mA to turn on a crowbar circuit.
10.6.4 HRES_N
The HRES_N is an active low digital input. When it is pulled low, the DPM will perform full hardware
reset including processor, memory, and communication interface. The POL converters and auxiliary
devices will be turned off although sequencing and tracking during the turn-off are not guaranteed.
Communication with a host processor or GUI (if established) will be lost. When the input is released,
the DPM will first program all POL converters and then turn them on, if the Auto Turn-On is enabled.
Unlike all other I/O pins on the ZM7300 DPM, the HRES_N does not have an internal ESD protection
diode connected to VDD. Therefore, it is necessary to add the diode externally as shown in Figure 3.
ZM7300G Series Digital Power Manager
Data Sheet
ZD-00896 Rev. 5.0 10FEB2009 www.power-one.com Page 27 of 33
The HRES_N function is intended as an emergency reset and except as indicated below, should
not be used in normal system operation.
It is necessary to use an external reset circuit (see Fig. 3) to hold the HRES_N line low until the VDD
supply reaches steady state conditions. Power-One Inc. successfully tested the On-Semi voltage
detector p/n NCP303LSN27T1 although other similar devices can also be utilized. Alternatively, the
HW_RES pin can be connected to the output of a CPLD (or similar device) and controlled via the
system supervisory circuitry.
10.7
Communication Interfaces
10.7.1 I
2
C Interface
The ZM7300 series DPMs have the industry standard I
2
C interface fully meeting the requirements of the
I2C -Bus Specification Version 2.1 from Philips Semiconductors. The I
2
C interface is working in the
following configurations:
standard (100kbs) and fast (400kbs) data transfer rates
7-bit addressing: 4 MSBs fixed, 3 LSBs programmable by ADDR[2:0]. The address prefix of the
ZM7300 is 0x50. This allows encoding DPM addresses 0x50, 0x52, …, 0x5E (Bit0 is the
read/write bit)
The DPM always acts as the I
2
C slave while the host processor always acts as the I
2
C master. Refer to
the “DPM Programming Manual” for the detailed description of the I
2
C communications.
Note: It is recommended to use Power-One’s ZM00056-KIT USB to I
2
C Adapter kit for the
communication between a DPM and a computer with the Z-One Graphical User Interface
10.7.1.1 Watchdog Timer
In order to prevent occasional hanging of the I
2
C bus, a watchdog timer is started whenever an I
2
C
command is initiated. If the command is not executed before the watchdog times out, the DPM will
assume that the I
2
C bus is in an error condition (e.g. the SCL or SDA lines are pulled low continuously)
and it will reset the I
2
C bus. The watchdog timeout is 1000ms. Since the watchdog function is not a
part of the standard I
2
C specifications, it can be disabled by the user.
10.7.2 JTAG Interface
The ZM7300 series DPMs feature the JTAG interface that can be used for programming the DPM with
user-specific configuration settings. JTAG boundary-scan capabilities are not currently supported.
JTAG-programmable DPMs have unique 5-digit identifiers listed in Table 6.

Only the DPM part numbers listed in the table can be programmed via the JTAG interface.
Note: The DPMs can be programmed via the JTAG only once. After initial programming via the JTAG, the
DPMs may be reprogrammed via I
2
C as necessary
10.7.2.1 SVF File
In order to program a DPM via the JTAG interface, the Serial Vector Format (SVF) file needs to be
generated. Click Generate SVF button in the System Configuration window shown in Figure 9. It will
open the SVF Generator window shown in Figure 21.
The window allows specifying the location of the target DPM in the JTAG chain and setting delays to
generate the appropriate Serial Vector Format file. The resulting file is used to program the DPMs
through the JTAG interface.
Refer to “Programming ZM7300 DPMs via JTAG Interface” Application Note for more details.
Figure 21. SVF File Generator Window
10.7.2.2 JTAG Instructions
ZM7300 series DPMs support only BYPASS and IDCODE instructions defined by IEEE 1149.1.
SAMPLE/PRELOAD and EXTEST instructions are not currently supported. Summary of the supported
instructions is shown in Table 7.
Table 7. JTAG Instructions

12 Pins Description
ACFAIL_N, AC Fail Input (Pin 16): Schmitt-Trigger
input with internal pull-up resistor (active low).
Pulling low the input indicates to the DPM that an
AC-DC front-end has lost the mains and that a
system shut down should immediately be initiated.
ADDR[0:2], I
2
C Address Inputs (Pins 47, 46, 45):
Inputs with internal pull-up resistor. The 3 bit
encoded address determines the DPM
communication address for the I
2
C interface.
AREF, Analog Reference (Pin 44): An analog
reference which is used internally. A 10nF capacitor
should be connected as close as possible to the
package between AREF and VSS. See 10.4.4.1.
CB, Crowbar Output (Pin 23): A CMOS output
which is used to trigger a crowbar (SCR) in case of
overvoltage on the Intermediate Voltage Bus.
EN[0:3], Enable Outputs for Auxiliary Devices
(Pins 5, 7, 55, 50): CMOS outputs to control
Auxiliary Devices like linear regulators, analog POLs,
fans or other devices.
.
FE_EN, Front-End Enable (Pin 17): A CMOS
output which is used to turn-on/off the DC/DC
converter generating the IBV.
HRES_N, Hardware Reset (Pin 4): Input with
internal pull-up resistor. When pulled low a cold start
of the Digital Power Manager is initiated. Refer to
paragraph 10.6.4 for important information regarding
connections of this pin.
IBVS, Intermediate Voltage Bus Sense (Pin 48):
Analog input to an internal ADC circuit to measure
the Intermediate Bus Voltage. The full scale range
of the input is 2.56V and the IBV should be scaled
down by a factor of 5.7 for proper reporting of the
IBV with the Z-ONE™ GUI.
INT[0:3], Interrupts (Pins 41, 40, 37, 36): Four
active low inputs with internal pull-ups. Each of the
inputs can be configured for two functions: first, the
interrupt input acts on the OK line(s) to stop
momentarily the operation of group of POLs and
Auxiliary Devices, second the interrupt can be used
as a hot swap trigger. In this function the interrupt
input triggers the programming of a group. When
released, POLs are assumed to be disconnected
from the DPM.
IR, Internal Reset (Pin 63): Connect to VSS via a
10kOhm resistor.
LCK_N, Memory Lock (Pin 61): Active low input
with internal pull-up. When LCK_N is pulled low, all
memory within the DPM is write-protected. The write
protection cannot be disabled by software.
OKA, OKB, OKC, OKD, Group OK Signals (Pins
11, 13, 20, 53): An open drain input/output with
internal pull-up resistor. Pulling low the OK input will
indicate to the DPM a fault in a Group, the DPM can
also pull an OK line low to disable a Group.
PG[0:3], Power Good (Pins 54, 52, 51, 49): Input
with internal pull-up resistor. The pin is used to read
the status of an Auxiliary Device.
RES_N, Active Low Reset In/Out (Pin 18): Input
with internal pull-up resistor. When pulled low a soft
reset of the system (sequenced turned off of all
POLs and Auxiliary Devices) is initiated. When
released the whole system is reprogrammed and
started if necessary.
SD, Sync Data Line (Pin 56): An open drain input /
output with internal pull-up resistor. Communication
line to distribute a master clock to all converters and
at the same time to communicate with all POLs.
JTAG Interface (Pins 34, 33, 32, 31): Connect to a
JTAG IEEE-1149.1-compliant programmer
supporting SVF files or leave open, if not used.
VDD, Positive Supply (Pins 6, 25, 42, 57, 60):
Supply voltage. At least 4x100nF decoupling
capacitors should be connected between VDD and
VSS pins. All VDD pins must be connected.
VSS, Ground (Pins 8, 9, 26, 38, 43, 58): Ground.
Decoupling capacitors need to be connected as
close as possible to the pins. All VSS pins must be
connected.
nc, No Connect (Pin 1, 2, 3, 10, 12, 14, 15, 19, 21,
22, 24, 28, 29, 35, 39, 59, 62, 64): All nc pins must
remain floating.
