The device integrates MOSFET switches, PWM controller, Gate-drive, compensation, and inductor into a tiny 3mm x 3mm x 1.1mm QFN package. Advanced package design, along with the high level of integration, provides very low output ripple and noise. The EP53A8xQI uses voltage mode control for high noise immunity and load matching to advanced 90nm loads. A 3-pin VID allows the user to choose from one of 8 output voltage settings. The EP53A8xQI comes with two VID output voltage ranges. The EP53A8HQI provides VOUT settings from 1.8V to 3.3V, the EP53A8LQI provides VID settings from 0.8V to 1.5V, and also has an external resistor divider option to program output setting over the 0.6V to VIN-0.5V range. The EP53A8xQI provides the industry's highest power density of any 1A DCDC converter solution. The key enabler of this revolutionary integration is Enpirion's proprietary power MOSFET technology. The advanced MOSFET switches are implemented in deep-submicron CMOS to supply very low switching loss at high switching frequencies and to allow a high level of integration. The semiconductor process allows seamless integration of all switching, control, and compensation circuitry. The proprietary magnetics design provides high-density/high-value magnetics in a very small footprint. Enpirion magnetics are carefully matched to the control and compensation circuitry yielding an optimal solution with assured performance over the entire operating range. Protection features include under-voltage lockout (UVLO), over-current protection (OCP), short circuit protection, and thermal overload protection. Integrated Inductor: Low-Noise Low-EMI The EP53A8xQI utilizes a proprietary low loss integrated inductor. The integration of the (c)Enpirion 2009 all rights reserved, E&OE 03651 inductor greatly simplifies the power supply design process. The inherent shielding and compact construction of the integrated inductor reduces the conducted and radiated noise that can couple into the traces of the printed circuit board. Further, the package layout is optimized to reduce the electrical path length for the high di/dT input AC ripple currents that are a major source of radiated emissions from DC-DC converters. The integrated inductor provides the optimal solution to the complexity, output ripple, and noise that plague low power DCDC converter design. Voltage Mode Control, High Bandwidth The EP53A8xQI utilizes an integrated type III compensation network. Voltage mode control is inherently impedance matched to the sub 90nm process technology that is used in today's advanced ICs. Voltage mode control also provides a high degree of noise immunity at light load currents so that low ripple and high accuracy are maintained over the entire load range. The very high switching frequency allows for a very wide control loop bandwidth and hence excellent transient performance. Soft Start Internal soft start circuits limit in-rush current when the device starts up from a power down condition or when the "ENABLE" pin is asserted "high". Digital control circuitry limits the VOUT ramp rate to levels that are safe for the Power MOSFETS and the integrated inductor. The EP53A8HQI has a soft-start slew rate that is twice that of the EP53A8LQI. When the EP53A8LQI is configured in external resistor divider mode, the device has a fixed VOUT ramp time. Therefore, the ramp rate will vary with the output voltage setting. Output voltage ramp time is given in the Electrical Characteristics Table. Excess bulk capacitance on the output of the device can cause an over-current condition at startup. Assuming no-load at startup, the 9 12/16/2009 www.enpirion.com Rev:B EP53A8LQI/EP53A8HQI maximum total capacitance on the output, including the output filter capacitor and bulk and decoupling capacitance, at the load, is given as: EP53A8LQI: COUT_TOTAL_MAX = COUT_Filter + COUT_BULK = 250uF Under Voltage Lockout During initial power up, an under voltage lockout circuit will hold-off the switching circuitry until the input voltage reaches a sufficient level to insure proper operation. If EP53A8HQI: the lockout circuitry will again disable the switching. Hysteresis is included to prevent chattering between states. COUT_TOTAL_MAX = COUT_Filter + COUT_BULK = 125uF Enable EP53A8LQI (in external divider mode): COUT_TOTAL_MAX = 2.25x10-4/VOUT Farads The nominal value for COUT is 10uF. See the applications section for more details. Over Current/Short Circuit Protection The current limit function is achieved by sensing the current flowing through a sense PMOSFET which is compared to a reference current. When this level is exceeded the PFET is turned off and the N-FET is turned on, pulling VOUT low. This condition is maintained for approximately 0.5mS and then a normal soft start is initiated. If the over current condition still persists, this cycle will repeat. The ENABLE pin provides a means to shut down the converter 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. NOTE: The ENABLE pin must not be left floating. Thermal Shutdown When excessive power is dissipated in the chip, the junction temperature rises. Once the junction temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown temperature, the thermal shutdown circuit turns off the converter output voltage thus allowing the device to cool. When the junction temperature decreases by 25C, the device will go through the normal startup process.

The VID is available in two sets of output VID programming ranges. The VID pins should be connected either to an external control signal, AVIN or to AGND to avoid noise coupling into the device. The "Low" range is optimized for low voltage applications. It comes with preset VID settings ranging from 0.80V and 1.5V. This VID set also has an external divider option. To specify this VID range, order part number EP53A8LQI. The "High" VID set provides output voltage settings ranging from 1.8V to 3.3V. This version does not have an external divider option. To specify this VID range, order part number EP53A8HQI. Internally, the output of the VID multiplexer sets the value for the voltage reference DAC, which in turn is connected to the non-inverting input of the error amplifier. This allows the use of a single feedback divider with constant loop gain and optimum compensation, independent of the output voltage selected. voltage divider option. The VID pin settings can be changed on the fly to implement glitchfree voltage scaling. Table 1 shows the VS2-VS0 pin logic states for the EP53A8LQI and the associated output voltage levels. A logic "1" indicates a connection to AVIN or to a "high" logic voltage level. A logic "0" indicates a connection to AGND or to a "low" logic voltage level. These pins can be either hardwired to AVIN or AGND or alternatively can be driven by standard logic levels. Logic levels are defined in the electrical characteristics table. Any level between the logic high and logic low is indeterminate. EP53A8LQI External Voltage Divider The external divider option is chosen by connecting VID pins VS2-VS0 to VIN or a logic "1" or "high". The EP53A8LQI uses a separate feedback pin, VFB, when using the external divider. VSENSE must be connected to VOUT as indicated in Figure 8.

Then Rb is given as: EP53A8L Low VID Range Programming The EP53A8LQI is designed to provide a high degree of flexibility in powering applications that require low VOUT settings and dynamic voltage scaling (DVS). The device employs a 3-pin VID architecture that allows the user to choose one of seven (7) preset output voltage settings, or the user can select an external PVIN EP53A8L NOTE: The VID pins must not be left floating. R b = 142.2 x10 3 VOUT - 0.6 VOUT can be programmed over the range of 0.6V to (VIN - 0.5V). NOTE: Dynamic Voltage Scaling is not allowed between internal preset voltages and external divider. 11 12/16/2009 www.enpirion.com Rev:B EP53A8LQI/EP53A8HQI EP53A8HQI High VID Range Programming The EP53A8HQI VOUT settings are optimized for higher nominal voltages such as those required to power IO, RF, or IC memory. The preset voltages range from 1.8V to 3.3V. There are eight (8) preset output voltage settings. The EP53A8HQI does not have an external divider option. As with the EP53A8LQI, the VID pin settings can be changed while the device is enabled. Table 2 shows the VS0-VS2 pin logic states for the EP53A8HQI and the associated output voltage levels. A logic "1" indicates a connection to AVIN or to a "high" logic voltage level. A logic "0" indicates a connection to AGND or to a "low" logic voltage level. These pins can be either hardwired to AVIN or AGND or alternatively can be driven by standard logic levels. Logic levels are defined in the electrical characteristics table. Any level between the logic high and logic low is indeterminate. These pins must not be left floating.

The (c)Enpirion 2009 all rights reserved, E&OE 03651 input capacitor must use a X5R or X7R or equivalent dielectric formulation. Y5V or equivalent dielectric formulations lose capacitance with frequency, bias, and with temperature, and are not suitable for switchmode DC-DC converter input filter applications. Output Filter Capacitor The output filter capacitor requirement is a minimum of 10F 0805 MLCC. Ripple performance can be improved by using 2x10F 0603 or 2x10F 0805 MLCC capacitors. The maximum output filter capacitance next to the output pins of the device is 60F low ESR MLCC capacitance. VOUT has to be sensed at the last output filter capacitor next to the EP53A8xQI. Additional bulk capacitance for decoupling and bypass can be placed at the load as long as there is sufficient separation between the VOUT Sense point and the bulk capacitance. The separation provides an inductance that isolates the control loop from the bulk capacitance. Excess total capacitance on the output (Output Filter + Bulk) can cause an over-current condition at startup. Refer to the section on Soft-Start for the maximum total capacitance on the output. The output capacitor must use a X5R or X7R or equivalent dielectric formulation. Y5V or equivalent dielectric formulations lose capacitance with frequency, bias, and temperature and are not suitable for switch-mode DC-DC converter output filter applications. 12 12/16/2009 www.enpirion.com Rev:B EP53A8LQI/EP53A8HQI Recommended PCB Footprint Figure 9: EP53A8xQI Package PCB Footprint (c)Enpirion 2009 all rights reserved, E&OE 03651 13 12/16/2009 www.enpirion.com Rev:B EP53A8LQI/EP53A8HQI Package and Mechanical Figure 10: EP53A8xQI Package Dimensions Contact Information Enpirion, Inc.
