The nominal input voltage range is 2.375-5.5V. The output can be set to common pre-set voltages by connecting appropriate combinations of 3 voltage selection pins to ground. The feedback control loop is a type III voltage-mode and the part uses a low-noise PWM topology. Up to 6A of output current can be drawn from this converter. The 5MHz operating frequency enables the use of small-size output capacitors. The power supply has the following protection features: * Programmable over-current protection (to protect the IC from excessive load current) * Thermal shutdown with hysteresis. * Over-voltage protection * Under-voltage lockout circuit to disable the converter output when the input voltage is less than approximately 2.2V Additional features include: * * VS0* Output Voltage 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 3.3V 2.5V 1.8V 1.5V 1.25V 1.2V 0.8V Reserved Input Capacitor Selection The EN5365QI requires about 40-50uF of input capacitance. Low ESR ceramic capacitors are required with X5R or X7R dielectric formulation. Y5V or equivalent dielectric formulations must not be used as they lose capacitance with frequency, temperature and bias voltage. In some applications, lower value ceramic capacitors maybe needed in parallel with the larger capacitors in order to provide high frequency decoupling. Description 22uF, 10V, X5R, 1206 (2 capacitors needed) 47uF, 10V, X5R, 1210 (1 capacitor needed) Output Voltage Programming The EN5365QI output voltage is programmed using a 3-pin voltage-ID or VID selector. Three binary VID pins allow the user to choose one of seven pre-set voltages. Refer to table 1 for the proper VID pin settings to program VOUT. The voltage select pins, VS0, VS1, and VS2, are pulled-up internally and so will default to a logic high, or "1", if left "open". Connecting the voltage select pin to ground will result in a logic "0". 03816 VS1* Table 2. Recommended input capacitors.

At the 5MHz switching frequency output impedance, denoted as Z, is comprised mainly of effective series resistance, ESR, and effective series inductance, ESL: Z = ESR + ESL. Placing output capacitors in parallel reduces the impedance and will hence result in lower ripple voltage. 1 Z Total = 1 1 1 + + ... + Z1 Z 2 Zn Typical ripple versus capacitor arrangement is given below: Output Capacitor Configuration 1 x 47uF 3 x 22 uF The ENABLE pin provides a means to shut down the device, or enable normal operation. A logic low will disable the converter and cause it to shut down. A logic high will enable the converter into normal operation. When the ENABLE pin is asserted high, the device will undergo a normal soft start. Soft-Start Operation The SS pin in conjunction with a small capacitor between this pin and AGND provides the soft start function to limit the in-rush current during start-up. During start-up of the converter the reference voltage to the error amplifier is gradually increased to its final level by an internal current source of typically 10uA charging the soft start capacitor. The typical soft-start time for the output to reach regulation voltage, from when AVIN > VUVLO and Enable crosses its logic high threshold, is given by: Where the soft-start time TSS is in seconds and the soft-start capacitance CSS is in Farads. Typically, a capacitor of around 15 nF is recommended. Compensation The EN5365 is internally compensated through the use of a type 3 compensation network and is optimized for use with about 50F of output capacitance and will provide excellent loop bandwidth and transient performance for most applications. Voltage mode operation provides high noise immunity at light load. Further, Voltage mode control provides superior impedance matching to sub 90nm loads. In some cases modifications to the compensation may be required. The EN5365QI provides the capability to modify the control loop to allow for 03816 Enable Operation TSS = CSS * 75K (seconds) Typical Output Ripple (mVp-p) (as measured on EN5365QI Evaluation Board) 30 15 (c)Enpirion 2012 all rights reserved, E&OE customization for a given application. For more information, contact Enpirion Applications Engineering support. During the soft-start cycle, when the soft-start capacitor reaches 0.75V, the output has reached its programmed regulation range. Note that the soft-start current source will continue to operate, and during normal operation, the soft-start capacitor will charge up to a final value of 2.5V. Power-Up/Down Sequencing During power-up, ENABLE should not be asserted before PVIN, and PVIN should not be asserted before AVIN. The PVIN should never be powered when AVIN is off. During power down, the AVIN should not be powered down before the PVIN. Tying PVIN and AVIN or all three pins (AVIN, PVIN, ENABLE) together 11 September 12, 2012 www.enpirion.com Rev: C EN5365QI during power up or power down meets these requirements. Pre-Bias Start-up The EN5365QI does not support startup into a pre-biased condition. Be sure the output capacitors are not charged or the output of the EN5365QI is not pre-biased when the EN5365QI is first enabled. POK Operation The POK signal is an open drain signal from the converter indicating the output voltage is within the specified range. The POK signal will be a logic high when the output voltage is within 90% 120% of the programmed output voltage. If the output voltage goes outside of this range, the POK signal will be a logic low until the output voltage has returned to within this range. In the event of an over-voltage condition the POK signal will go low and will remain in this condition until the output voltage has dropped to 95% of the programmed output voltage before returning to the high state. The internal POK FET is designed to tolerate up to 4mA. The pull-up resistor value should be chosen to limit the current from exceeding this value when POK is logic low. Over-Current Protection The current limit function is achieved by sensing the current flowing through a sense P-MOSFET. When the sensed current exceeds the current limit, both NFET and PFET switches are turned off. If the over-current condition is removed, the over-current protection circuit will re-enable the PWM operation. If the over-current condition persists, the circuit will continue to protect the load. (c)Enpirion 2012 all rights reserved, E&OE 03816 The OCP trip point is nominally set to 150% of maximum rated load. For diagnostic purposes, it is possible to increase the OCP trip point to approximately 200% of the maximum rated load by connecting a 10k resistor between the ROCP pin (pin 38) and AGND (pin 39). This is intended for troubleshooting purposes only and the specification is not guaranteed. Over-Voltage Protection When the output voltage exceeds 120% of the programmed output voltage, the PWM operation stops, the lower N-MOSFET is turned on and the POK signal goes low. When the output voltage drops below 95% of the programmed output voltage, normal PWM operation resumes and POK returns to its high state. Thermal Overload Protection Thermal shutdown will disable operation when the Junction temperature exceeds approximately 150C. Once the junction temperature drops by approx 20C, the converter will re-start with a normal soft-start. Input Under-Voltage Lock-Out Circuitry is provided to ensure that when the input voltage is below the required voltage level (VUVLO) for normal operation, the converter will not start-up. Circuits for hysteresis and input deglitch are included to ensure high noise immunity and to prevent false tripping. Parallel Device Operation The EN5365QI is capable of paralleling up to a total of four converters to provide up to 24A of continuous current. Please refer to the Parallel Operation Application note, available on the Enpirion website www.enpirion.com, for details on parallel operation. 12 September 12, 2012 www.enpirion.com Rev: C EN5365QI Layout Recommendations Compensation Test Points AGND Test Points High-Frequency Noise Suppression Vias VOUT(+) Copper Local Ground Copper Thermal Pad Vias and Soldermask Opening VIN(+) Copper Vout Slit separating input local ground from output local ground PGND Copper Slit Vin Figure 5. Layout of power and ground copper. Figure 6. Use of thermal & noise suppression vias. Recommendation 1: Input and output filter capacitors should be placed as close to the EN5365QI package as possible to reduce EMI from input and output loop currents. This reduces the physical area of the Input and Output AC current loops. These vias can be the same size as the thermal vias discussed in recommendation 3. Recommendation 5: The system ground plane referred to in recommendations 3 and 4 should be the first layer immediately below the surface layer. This ground plane should be continuous and un-interrupted below the converter and the input/output capacitors shown in figure 6. Recommendation 2: Place a slit in the input/output capacitor ground copper starting just below the common connection point of the device GND pins as shown in figures 5 and 6. Recommendation 6: As with any switch-mode DC/DC converter, do not run sensitive signal or control lines underneath the converter package. Recommendation 3: The large thermal pad underneath the component must be connected to the system ground plane through as many vias as possible. The drill diameter of the vias should be less than 0.33mm, and the vias must have at least 1 oz. copper plating on the inside wall, making the finished hole size around 0.26mm. This connection provides the path for heat dissipation from the converter. Please see figures 6, 7, and 8. Please refer to the Gerber files and summarized layout notes available on the Enpirion website www.enpirion.com for more layout details. NOTE: Figures 5 and 6 show only the critical components and traces for a minimum footprint layout. ENABLE, Vout-programming, and other small signal pins need to be connected and routed according to the specific application. Recommendation 4: Multiple small vias should be used to connect ground terminal of the input capacitor and output capacitors to the system ground plane as shown in figure 6.

However, they do require some special considerations. In the assembly process lead frame construction requires that, for mechanical support, some of the lead-frame cantilevers be exposed at the point where wire-bond or internal passives are attached. This results in several small pads being exposed on the bottom of the package. Only the large thermal pad and the perimeter pads are to be mechanically or electrically connected to the PC board. The PCB top layer under the EN5365QI should be clear of any metal except for the large thermal pad. The "grayed-out" area in Figure 7 represents the area that should be clear of any metal (traces, vias, or planes), on the top layer of the PCB. Figure 8 demonstrates the recommended PCB footprint for the EN5365QI. Figure 9 shows the shape and location of the exposed metal pads as well as the mechanical dimension of the large thermal pad and the pins. Ground copper my extend under this pad. However, DO NOT CONNECT (NC) Figure 7. Lead-Frame exposed metal. Grey area highlights exposed metal that is not to be mechanically or electrically connected to the PCB.
