Do not connect them to each other or to any other electrical signal. Failure to follow this guideline may result in device damage. Regulated converter output. Connect these pins to the load and place output capacitor between these pins and PGND pins 33-35. NO CONNECT - These pins are internally connected to the common switching node of the internal MOSFETs. They are not to be electrically connected to any external signal, ground, or voltage. Failure to follow this guideline may result in damage to the device. Input/Output power ground. Connect these pins to the ground electrode of the input and output filter capacitors. See VOUT and PVIN pin descriptions for more details. Input power supply. Connect to input power supply. Decouple with input capacitor to PGND pins 36-38. Internal 3.4V linear regulator output. Connect this pin to AVIN for applications where operation from a single input voltage (PVIN) is required. If AVINO is being used, place a 1F, X5R, capacitor between AVINO and AGND as close as possible to AVINO. PMOS gate. Place a 47nF, X5R, capacitor between this pin and BTMP. Bottom plate ground. See pin 51 description. Internal regulated voltage used for the internal control circuitry. Place a 0.22F, X5R, capacitor between this pin and BGND. Ground for VDDB. Do not connect BGND to any other ground. See pin 53 description. Digital synchronization input. This pin accepts either an input clock to phase lock the internal switching frequency or a S_OUT signal from another EN2390QI. Leave this pin floating if not used. Digital synchronization output. PWM signal is output on this pin. Leave this pin floating if not used. Power OK is an open drain transistor (pulled up to AVIN or similar voltage) used for power system state indication. POK is logic high when VOUT is within -10% to +20% of VOUT nominal. Leave this pin floating if not used. Output enable. Applying a logic high to this pin enables the output and initiates a softstart. Applying a logic low disables the output. ENABLE logic cannot be higher than AVIN (refer to Absolute Maximum Ratings). Do not leave floating. See Power Up/Down Sequencing section for details. 3.3V Input power supply for the controller. Place a 1F, X5R, capacitor between AVIN and AGND Analog ground. This is the ground return for the controller. All AGND pins need to be connected to a quiet ground. A logic level low configures the device as Master and a logic level high configures the device as a Slave. Connect to ground in standalone mode. External feedback input. The feedback loop is closed through this pin. A voltage divider at VOUT is used to set the output voltage. The mid-point of the divider is connected to VFB. A phase lead network from this pin to VOUT is also required to stabilize the loop. Optional error amplifier input. Allows for customization of the control loop for performance optimization. Leave this pin floating if not used. Soft-start node. The soft-start capacitor is connected between this pin and AGND. The value of this capacitor determines the startup time. See Soft-Start Operation in the Functional Description section for details. Short circuit protection. Connect a 100k resistor from RCLX to ground. Adding a resistor (RFS) to this pin will adjust the switching frequency of the EN2390QI. See Table 1 for suggested resistor values on RFS for various PVIN/VOUT combinations to maximize efficiency. Do not leave this pin floating. Test pin. For Enpirion Internal Use Only. Connect to GND plane at all times. Not a perimeter pin.

Synchronous Buck Converter The EN2390QI is a highly integrated synchronous, buck converter with integrated controller, power MOSFET switches and integrated inductor. The nominal input voltage (PVIN) range is 4.5V to 14V and can support up to 9A of continuous output current. The output voltage is programmed using an external resistor divider network. The control loop utilizes a Type IV Voltage-Mode compensation network and maximizes on a low-noise PWM topology. Much of the compensation circuitry is internal to the device. However, a phase lead capacitor is required along with the output voltage feedback resistor divider to complete the Type IV compensation network.. The high switching frequency of the EN2390QI enables the use of Protection Features: The power supply has the following protection features: * Short Circuit Protection * Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis. * AVIN Under-Voltage Lockout Protection Additional Features: * * * Switching Frequency Synchronization.

The output of the linear regulator is provided on the AVINO pin once the device is enabled. AVINO should be connected to AVIN on the EN2390QI. In this application, the following external components are required: Place a 1F, X5R/X7R capacitor between AVINO and AGND as close as possible to AVINO. Place a 1F, X5R/X7R capacitor between AVIN and AGND as close as possible to AVIN. In addition, place a resistor (RVB) between VDDB and AVIN, as shown in Figure 5. Altera recommends RVB=4.75k. In this application, ENABLE cannot be asserted before PVIN.

PVIN slew rate limitations as per datasheet PVIN - Recommended to be ramped down after the Vout softshutdown occurs In this application, place a 1F, X5R/X7R, capacitor between AVIN and AGND as close as possible to AVIN. Refer to Figure 7 for a recommended schematic for a dual input supply application. For dual input supply applications, the sequencing of the two input supplies, PVIN and AVIN, is very important. There are two common acceptable turnon sequences for the device. AVIN can always come up before PVIN. If PVIN comes up before AVIN, then ENABLE must be toggled last, after AVIN is asserted. Do not turn off AVIN before PVIN and ENABLE during shutdown. Doing so will disable the internal controller while there may still be energy in the system. The device will not softshutdown properly and damage may occur.

Be sure the output capacitors are not charged or the output of the EN2390QI is not pre-biased when the EN2390QI is first enabled. Rfs vs. SW Frequency 1.800 SWITCHING FREQUENCY (MHz) The ENABLE pin provides a means to enable normal operation or to shut down the device. 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. A logic low will disable the converter. A logic low will power down the device in a controlled manner and the device is subsequently shut down. The ENABLE signal has to be low for at least the ENABLE Lockout Time (8ms) in order for the device to be reenabled. To ensure accurate startup sequencing the ENABLE/DISABLE signal should be faster than 1V/100s. A slower ENABLE/DISABLE signal may result in a delayed startup and shutdown response. Do not leave ENABLE floating. 1.600 1.400 1.200 1.000 0.600 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 RFS RESISTOR VALUE (k) Figure 9. RFS versus Switching Frequency The efficiency performance of the EN2390QI for various VOUTs can be optimized by adjusting the switching frequency. Table 1 shows recommended RFS values for various VOUTs in order to optimize performance of the EN2390QI. PVIN Frequency Synchronization The switching frequency of the EN2390QI can be phase-locked to an external clock source to move unwanted beat frequencies out of band. The internal switching clock of the EN2390QI can be phase locked to a clock signal applied to the S_IN pin. An activity detector recognizes the presence of an external clock signal and automatically phaselocks the internal oscillator to this external clock. Phase-lock will occur as long as the input clock frequency is in the range of 0.8MHz to 1.8MHz. The external clock frequency must be within 10% of the nominal switching frequency set by the RFS resistor. It is recommended to use a synchronized clock frequency close to the typical frequency recommendations in Table 1. A 3.01k resistor from FQADJ to ground is recommended for clock frequencies within 10% of 1MHz. When no clock is present, the device reverts to the free running frequency of the internal oscillator set by the RFS resistor. The efficiency performance of the EN2390QI for various PVIN/VOUT combinations can be optimized by adjusting the switching frequency. Table 1 shows recommended RFS values for various PVIN/VOUT combinations in order to optimize performance of the EN2390QI.

The output voltage rise time is controlled by the choice of soft-start capacitor, which is placed between the SS pin and the AGND pin. During start-up of the converter, the reference voltage to the error amplifier is linearly increased to its final level by an internal current source of approximately 10A. The soft-start time is measured from when VIN > VUVLOR and ENABLE pin voltage crosses its logic high threshold to when VOUT reaches its programmed value. The total softstart time can be calculated by: Soft Start Time (ms): T SS Css [nF] x 0.06 www.altera.com/enpirion Page 16 07515 June 2, 2015 Rev D EN2390QI POK Operation The POK signal is an open drain signal (requires a pull up resistor to AVIN or similar voltage) from the converter indicating the output voltage is within the specified range. Typically, a 100k or lower resistance is used as the pull-up resistor. The POK signal will be logic high (AVIN) when the output voltage is above 90% of the programmed voltage level. If the output voltage is below this point, the POK signal will be a logic low. The POK signal can be used to sequence down-stream converters by tying to their enable pins. Short Circuit Protection The short circuit protection feature will protect the device if the output is shorted to ground. Short circuit protection is achieved by sensing the current flowing through a sense PFET. When the sensed current exceeds the threshold for more than 32 cycles, both power FETs are turned off for the rest of the switching cycle. If the short circuit condition is removed, the device will reactivate soft-start and resume PWM operation. In the event the short circuit trips consistently in normal operation, the device enters a hiccup mode. While in hiccup mode, the device is disabled for a short while and restarted with a normal soft-start. The hiccup time is approximately 32ms. This cycle can continue indefinitely as long as the short circuit condition persists. Use a resistor value of 100k from the RCLX pin to ground to enable this feature. Thermal Overload Protection Thermal shutdown circuit will disable device operation when the junction temperature exceeds approximately 160C. After a thermal shutdown event, when the junction temperature drops by approx 35C, the converter will re-start with a normal soft-start. AVIN Under-Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO) Internal circuits ensure that the converter will not start switching until the AVIN input voltage is above the specified minimum voltage. Hysteresis, input de-glitch and output leading edge blanking ensures Master / Slave (Parallel) Operation: Up to four EN2390QI devices may be connected in a Master/Slave configuration to handle larger load currents. The maximum output current for each parallel device will need to be de-rated by 20 percent so that no devices will over current due to current mis-match. The Master device's switching clock may be phase-locked to an external clock source via the S_IN pin or left open and use its default switching frequency. The device is placed in Master mode by pulling the M/S pin low or in Slave mode by pulling M/S pin high. Note that the M/S pin is also pulled low for standalone mode. In Master mode, the internal PWM signal is output on the S_OUT pin. This PWM signal from the Master is fed to the Slave device at its S_IN input. The Slave device acts like an extension of the power FETs in the Master. The inductor in the Slave prevents crow-bar currents from Master to Slave due to timing delays. Parallel operation in dual supply mode is shown in Figure 11. Single supply mode operation may also be implemented similarly. Note that only critical components are shown. The red text and red lines indicate the important parallel operation connections and care should be taken in layout to ensure low impedance between those paths. The parallel current matching is illustrated in Figure 10.

Type IV Voltage Mode control is a proprietary Altera Enpirion control scheme that maximizes control loop bandwidth to deliver excellent load transient responses and maintain output regulation with pin point accuracy. For ease of use, most of this network has been customized and is integrated within the device package. The EN2390QI output voltage is programmed using a simple resistor divider network (RA and RB). The feedback voltage at VFB is nominally 0.6V. RA is predetermined based on Table 4 and RB can be calculated based on Figure 12. The values recommended for COUT, CA, RCA and REA make up the external compensation of the EN2390QI. It will vary with each PVIN and VOUT combination to optimize on performance. The EN2390QI solution can be optimized for either smallest size or highest performance. Please see Table 4 for a list of recommended RA, CA, RCA, REA and COUT values for each solution. Since VFB is a sensitive node, do not touch the VFB node while the device is in operation as doing so may introduce parasitic capacitance into the control loop that causes the device to behave abnormally and damage may occur. VOUT VOUT COUT EAIN RA CA capacitors are needed in parallel with the larger, capacitors in order to provide high frequency decoupling. Table 2 contains a list of recommended input capacitors.

For smallest solution size, various combinations of output capacitance may be used. See Table 4 for details. Low ESR ceramic capacitors are required with X5R or X7R rated dielectric formulation. Y5V or equivalent dielectric formulations must not be used as these lose too much capacitance with frequency, temperature and bias voltage. Table 4 contains a list of recommended output capacitors Output ripple voltage is determined by the aggregate output capacitor impedance. Capacitor impedance, denoted as Z, is comprised of capacitive reactance, effective series resistance, ESR, and effective series inductance, ESL reactance.

Whenever there are power losses in a system, the heat that is generated by the power dissipation needs to be accounted for. The Altera Enpirion PowerSoC helps alleviate some of those concerns. The Altera Enpirion EN2390QI DC-DC converter is packaged in a 10x11x3mm 76-pin QFN package. The QFN package is constructed with copper lead frames that have exposed thermal pads. The exposed thermal pad on the package should be soldered directly on to a copper ground pad on the printed circuit board (PCB) to act as a heat sink. The recommended maximum junction temperature for continuous operation is 125C. Continuous operation above 125C may reduce long-term reliability. The device has a thermal overload protection circuit designed to turn off the device at an approximate junction temperature value of 160C. The following example and calculations illustrate the thermal performance of the EN2390QI. Example: VIN = 12V VOUT = 1.2V PIN 10.8W / 0.8 13.17W The power dissipation (PD ) is the power loss in the system and can be calculated by subtracting the output power from the input power. PD = PIN - POUT 13.17W - 10.8W 2.37W With the power dissipation known, the temperature rise in the device may be estimated based on the theta JA value (JA). The JA parameter estimates how much the temperature will rise in the device for every watt of power dissipation. The EN2390QI has a JA value of 15 C/W without airflow. Determine the change in temperature (T) based on PD and JA. T = PD x JA T 2.37W x 15C/W = 35.56C 36C The junction temperature (T J ) of the device is approximately the ambient temperature (T A) plus the change in temperature. We assume the initial ambient temperature to be 25C. T J 25C + 36C 61C First calculate the output power. POUT = 1.2V x 9A = 10.8W Next, determine the input power based on the efficiency () shown in Figure 13. Efficiency vs. Output Current 100 80 70 60 50 VOUT = 3.3V 40 VOUT = 2.5V 30 VOUT = 1.8V 20 VOUT = 1.2V VOUT = 1.0V The maximum operating junction temperature (T JMAX) of the device is 125C, so the device can operate at a higher ambient temperature. The maximum ambient temperature (T AMAX) allowed can be calculated. T AMAX = T JMAX - PD x JA 125C - 36C 89C The maximum ambient temperature the device can reach is 89C given the input and output conditions.

Figure 14: Engineering Schematic for Smallest Solution Size www.altera.com/enpirion Page 22 07515 June 2, 2015 Rev D EN2390QI Layout Recommendation Figure 15: Critical Component Layout for Minimum Footprint (Top Layer). See Figure 14 for schematic. This layout only shows the critical components and top layer traces for minimum footprint in single-supply, master mode with ENABLE tied to AVIN. Alternate circuit configurations & other low-power pins need to be connected and routed according to customer application. Please see the Gerber files at www.altera.com/enpirion for details on all layers. Recommendation 1: Input and output filter capacitors should be placed on the same side of the PCB, and as close to the EN2390QI package as possible. They should be connected to the device with very short and wide traces. Do not use thermal reliefs or spokes when connecting the capacitor pads to the respective nodes. The +V and GND traces between the capacitors and the EN2390QI should be as close to each other as possible so that the gap between the two nodes is minimized, even under the capacitors. Recommendation 2: The PGND connections for the input and output capacitors on layer 1 need to have a slit between them in order to provide some separation between input and output current loops. Recommendation 3: The system ground plane 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. Recommendation 4: The 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 0.33mm, and the vias must have at least 1 oz. copper plating on the inside wall, making the finished hole size around 0.20-0.26mm. Do not use thermal reliefs or spokes to connect the vias to the ground plane. This connection provides the path for heat dissipation from the converter. Recommendation 5: Multiple small vias (the same size as the thermal vias discussed in recommendation 4) should be used to connect ground terminal of the input capacitor and output capacitors to the system ground plane. It is preferred to put these vias along the edge of the GND copper closest to the +V copper. These vias connect the input/output filter capacitors to the GND plane, and help reduce parasitic inductances in the input and output current loops. If vias cannot be placed under the capacitors, then place them on both sides of the slit in the top layer PGND copper. Recommendation 6: AVIN is the power supply for the small-signal control circuits. AVINO powers AVIN in single supply mode. AVIN and AVINO should have a decoupling capacitor close to each of their pins. Refer to Figure 15. Recommendation 7: The layer 1 metal under the device must not be more than shown in Figure13. Refer to the section regarding Exposed Metal on Bottom of Package. As with any switch-mode DC/DC converter, try not to run sensitive signal or control lines underneath the converter package on other layers. Recommendation 8: The VOUT sense point should be just after the last output filter capacitor. Keep the sense trace short in order to avoid noise coupling into the node. Contact Altera MySupport for any remote sensing applications. Recommendation 9: Keep RA, CA, RB, and RCA close to the VFB pin (Refer to Figure 15). The VFB pin is a high-impedance, sensitive node. Keep the trace to this pin as short as possible. Whenever possible, connect RB directly to the AGND instead of going through the GND plane. Recommendation 10: Follow all the layout recommendations as close as possible to optimize performance. Altera provides schematic and layout reviews for all customer designs.

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 as shown in Figure 16. Only the thermal pad and the perimeter pads are to be mechanically or electrically connected to the PC board. The PCB top layer under the EN2390QI should be clear of any metal (copper pours, traces, or vias) except for the thermal pad. The "shaded-out" area in Figure 16 represents the area that should be clear of any metal on the top layer of the PCB. Any layer 1 metal under the shaded-out area runs the risk of undesirable shorted connections even if it is covered by soldermask. The solder stencil aperture should be smaller than the PCB ground pad. This will prevent excess solder from causing bridging between adjacent pins or other exposed metal under the package. Please consult the EN2390QI QFN Package Soldering Guidelines for more details and recommendations. Figure 16: Lead-Frame exposed metal (Bottom View) Shaded area highlights exposed metal that is not to be mechanically or electrically connected to the PCB. www.altera.com/enpirion Page 24 07515 June 2, 2015 Rev D EN2390QI Recommended PCB Footprint Figure 17: EN2390QI PCB Footprint (Top View) The solder stencil aperture for the thermal pad (shown in blue) is based on Altera's manufacturing recommendations. www.altera.com/enpirion Page 25 07515 June 2, 2015 Rev D EN2390QI Package and Mechanical Figure 18: EN2390QI Package Dimensions (Bottom View) Packing and Marking Information: www.altera.com/support/reliability/packing/rel-packing-and-marking.html Contact Information Altera Corporation 101 Innovation Drive San Jose, CA 95134 Phone: 408-544-7000 www.altera.com (c) 2013 Altera Corporation--Confidential.
