Description
Power-One’s point-of-load converters are recommended for use with regulated bus converters in an Intermediate
Bus Architecture (IBA). The ZY2105 is an intelligent, fully programmable step-down point-of-load DC-DC module
integrating digital power conversion and power management. The ZY2105 completely eliminates the need for
external components for sequencing, tracking, protection, monitoring, and reporting. Performance parameters of
the ZY2105 are programmable by pin strapping and an external resistor and can be changed by the user at any
time during product development and service without a need for a communication bus.

1 At the negative output current (bus terminator mode) efficiency of the ZY2105 degrades resulting in increased internal power dissipation.
Therefore maximum allowable negative current under specific conditions is 20% lower than the current determined from the derating curves
shown in paragraph 5.5
2 Digital PWM has an inherent quantization uncertainty of ±6.25mV that is not included in the specified static regulation parameters.

In this application three POL converters are configured to deliver three independent output voltages. Output
voltages are programmed with the resistors connected between TRIM and MARGIN pins of individual converters.
POL1 is configured as a master (IM pin is grounded) and all other POL converters are synchronized to the
switching frequency of POL1.
All converters are controlled by the common ENABLE signal. Turn-on and turn-off processes of the system are
illustrated by pictures in Figure 5 and Figure 6.

8. Pin and Feature Description
8.1 OK, Fault Status
The open drain input/output with the internal pull-up
resistor. The POL converter pulls its OK pin low, if a
fault occurs. Pulling low the OK input by an external
circuitry turns off the POL converter.
8.2 SYNC, Frequency Synchronization Line
The bidirectional input/output with the internal pull-up
resistor. If the POL converter is configured as a
master, the SYNC line propagates clock to other
POL converters. If the POL converter is configured
as a slave, the internal clock recovery circuit
synchronizes to the clock of the SYNC line.
8.3 IM, Interleave Mode
The input with the internal pull-up resistor. Pulling
the IM pin low configures a POL converter as a
master.
8.4 PG, Power Good
The open drain input/output with the internal pull-up
resistor. The pin is pulled low by the POL converter,
if the output voltage is outside of the window defined
by the Power Good High and Low thresholds.
Note: See the No-Bus Application Note for recommendations on
PG deglitching.
8.5 CCA, Compensation Coefficient Address
The input with internal pull-up to select one of 2 sets
of digital filter coefficients optimized for different
characteristics of output capacitance.
8.6 MARGIN, Output Voltage Margining
The output of the 2V internal voltage reference that
is used to program the output voltage of the POL
converter.
8.7 EN, Enable
The input with the internal pull-up resistor. The POL
converter is turned off, when the pin is pulled low
8.8 TRIM, Output Voltage Trim
The input of the TRIM comparator for the output
voltage programming.
The output voltage can be programmed by a single
resistor connected between MARGIN and TRIM
pins.
9. Application Information
9.1 Output Voltage Programming
Resistance of the trim resistor is determined from the
equation below:

TRIM V

R×
= k
where VOUT is the desired output voltage in Volts.
If the RTRIM is open or the TRIM pin is shorted to
PGND, the VOUT=0.5V.
9.2 Output Voltage Margining
Margining can be implemented by changing the
resistance between the REF and TRIM pins.
Figure 13. Margining Configuration
In the schematic shown in Figure 13, the nominal
output voltage is set with the trim resistor RTRIM
calculated from the equation in the paragraph 9.1.
Resistors RUP and RDOWN are added to margin the
output voltage up and down respectively and
determined from the equations below.

where RTRIM is the value of the trim resistor in k and
V% is the absolute value of desired margining
expressed in percents of the nominal output voltage.
During normal operation the resistors are removed
from the circuit by the switches. The “Margining
Down” switch is normally closed shorting the resistor
RDOWN while the “Margining Up” switch is normally
open disconnecting the resistor RUP.
An alternative configuration of the margining circuit is
shown in Figure 14. In the configuration both
switches are normally open that may be
advantageous in some implementations.
