7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LMZ21700 Nano Module is an easy-to-use step-down DC/DC solution capable of driving up to 650-mA load
in space-constrained applications. Only an input capacitor, an output capacitor, a soft-start capacitor, and two
resistors are required for basic operation. The Nano Module comes in 8-pin DFN footprint package with an
integrated inductor. The LMZ21700 architecture is based on DCS-Control™ (direct control with seamless
transition into power save mode). This architecture combines the fast transient response and stability of
hysteretic type converters along with the accurate DC output regulation of voltage mode and current mode
regulators.
The LMZ21700 architecture uses pulse width modulation (PWM) mode for medium and heavy load requirements
and Power Save Mode (PSM) at light loads for high efficiency. In PWM mode the switching frequency is
controlled over the input voltage range. The value depends on the output voltage setting and is typically reduced
at low output voltages to achieve higher efficiency. In PSM the switching frequency decreases linearly with the
load current. Since the architecture of the device supports both operation modes (PWM and PSM) in a single
circuit building block, the transition between the modes of operation is seamless with minimal effect on the output
voltage.

7.2.1 Package Construction
In order to achieve a small solution size the LMZ21700 Nano Module comes in an innovative MicroSiP™
package. The construction consists of a synchronous buck converter IC embedded inside an FR-4 laminate
substrate, with a power inductor mounted on top of the substrate material. See Figure 12 and Figure 13 below.
The bottom (landing pads) of the package resemble a typical 8-pin DFN package. See the Mechanical drawings
at the end of the datasheet for details on the recommended landing pattern and solder paste stencil information.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Input Undervoltage Lockout
The LMZ21700 features input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit. It monitors the input voltage level and
prevents the device from switching the power MOSFETs if VIN is not high enough. The typical VIN UVLO rising
threshold is 2.9 V with 180 mV of hysteresis.
7.3.2 Enable Input (EN)
The enable pin (EN) is weakly pulled down internally through a 400 kresistor to keep EN logic low when the
pin is floating. The pulldown resistor is not connected when EN is set high. Once the voltage on the enable pin
(EN) is set high the Nano Module will start operation. If EN is set low ( < 0.3 V ) the LMZ21700 will enter
shutdown mode. The typical shutdown quiescent current is 1.5 μA.
7.3.3 Soft-Start and Tracking Function (SS)
When EN is set high for device operation the LMZ21700 starts switching after 50-μs delay and the output voltage
will start rising. The VOUT rising slope is controlled by the external capacitor CSS connected to the soft-start (SS)
pin. The nano module has a 2.5 μA constant current source internally connected to the SS pin to program the
softstart time TSS:
TSS = CSS x 1.25 V / 2.5 μA (1)
The softstart capacitor voltage is reset to zero volts when EN is pulled low and when the thermal protection is
active.
If tracking function is desired, the SS pin can be used to track external voltage. If the applied external tracking
voltage is between 100 mV and 1.2 V, the FB voltage will follow SS according to the following relationship:
VFB = 0.64 x VSS (2)
7.3.4 Power Good Function (PG)
The LMZ21700 features a Power Good (PG) function which can be used for sequencing of multiple rails. The PG
pin is an open-drain output and requires a pullup resistor RPG to VOUT (or any other external voltage less than 7
V). When the Nano Module is enabled and UVLO is satisfied, the power good function starts monitoring the
output voltage. The PG pin is kept at logic low if the output has not reached the proper regulation voltage. Refer
to the Electrical Characteristics table for the PG voltage thresholds. The PG pin can sink 2 mA of current which
sets the minimum limit of the RPG resistance value:
RPG-MIN= VPULL-UP / 2 mA (3)
The PG pin goes low impedance if the device is disabled or the thermal protection is active.
7.3.5 Output Voltage Setting
The output voltage of the LMZ21700 is set by a resistive divider from VOUT to GND, connected to the feedback
(FB) pin. The output voltage can be set between 0.9 V and 6 V. The voltage at the FB pin is regulated to 0.8 V.
The recommended minimum divider current is 2 μA. This sets a maximum limit on the bottom feedback resistor
RFBB. Its value should not exceed 400 k. The top feedback resistor RFBT can be calculated using the following
formula:
RFBT = RFBB x (VOUT/ 0.8 1) (4)
7.3.6 Output Current Limit and Output Short Circuit Protection
The LMZ21700 has integrated protection against heavy loads and output short circuit events. Both, the high-side
FET and low-side FET have current monitoring circuitry. If the current limit threshold of the high-side FET is
reached , the high-side FET will be turned off and the low-side FET will be turned on to ramp down the inductor
current. Once the current through the low-side FET has decreased below a safe level, the high-side device will
be allowed to turn on again. The actual DC output current depends on the input voltage, output voltage, and
switching frequency. Refer to the Application Curves section for more information.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.7 Thermal Protection
The nano module monitors its junction temperature (Tj) and shuts itself off if the it gets too hot. The thermal
shutdown threshold for the junction is typically 160 °C. Both, high-side and low-side FETs are turned off until the
junction temperature has decreased under the hysteresis level, typically 30 °C below the shutdown temperature.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 PWM Mode Operation
The LMZ21700 operates in PWM mode when the output current is greater than half the inductor ripple current.
The frequency variation in PWM mode is controlled and depends on the VIN and VOUT settings. Refer to the
Application Curves section for switching frequency graphs for several typical output voltage settings. As the load
current is decreased and the valley of the inductor current ripple reaches 0 A the device enters PSM operation to
maintain high efficiency.
7.4.2 PSM Operation
Once the load current decreases and the valley of the inductor current reaches 0 A, the LMZ21700 will transition
to Power Save Mode of operation. The device will remain in PSM as long as the inductor current is
discontinuous. The switching frequency will decrease linearly with the load current. If VIN decreases to about
15 % above VOUT the device will not enter PSM and will maintain output regulation in PWM mode.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LMZ21700 is a step down DC-to-DC converter. It is used to convert higher DC voltage to a regulated lower
DC voltage with maximum load current of 650 mA. The following design procedure can be used to select
components for the LMZ21700. Alternatively, the WEBENCH®software can be used to select from a large
database of components, run electrical simulations, and optimize the design for specific performance. Please go
to webench.ti.com to access the WEBENCH®tool.
8.2 Typical Application
For a quick start, the following component values can be used as a design starting point for several typical output
voltage rails and 650 mA of output load current.

Typical Application (continued)
8.2.1 Design Requirements
The design procedure requires a few typical design parameters. See Table 1 below.
Table 1. Design Parameters
Design Parameter Value
Input Voltage (VIN) Range from 3.0 V to 17 V
Output Voltage (VOUT) Range from 0.9 V to 6 V
Output Current (IOUT) Up to 650 mA
Softstart time (TSS) Minimum of 0.5 ms recommended
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Custom Design With WEBENCH® Tools
Click here to create a custom design using the LMZ21700 device with the WEBENCH® Power Designer.
1. Start by entering the input voltage (VIN), output voltage (VOUT), and output current (IOUT) requirements.
2. Optimize the design for key parameters such as efficiency, footprint, and cost using the optimizer dial.
3. Compare the generated design with other possible solutions from Texas Instruments.
The WEBENCH Power Designer provides a customized schematic along with a list of materials with real-time
pricing and component availability.
In most cases, these actions are available:
Run electrical simulations to see important waveforms and circuit performance
Run thermal simulations to understand board thermal performance
Export customized schematic and layout into popular CAD formats
Print PDF reports for the design, and share the design with colleagues
Get more information about WEBENCH tools at www.ti.com/WEBENCH.
8.2.2.2 Input Capacitor (CIN)
Low ESR multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) are recommended for the input capacitor of the LMZ21700.
Using a 10 µF ceramic input capacitor in 0805 (2012 metric) case size with 25 V rating typically provides
sufficient VIN bypass. Use of multiple capacitors can also be considered. Ceramic capacitors with X5R and X7R
temperature characteristics are recommended. These provide an optimal balance between small size, cost,
reliability, and performance for applications with limited space. The DC voltage bias characteristics of the
capacitors must be considered when selecting the DC voltage rating and case size of these components. The
effective capacitance of an MLCC is typically reduced by the DC voltage bias applied across its terminals.
Selecting a part with larger capacitance, larger case size, or higher voltage rating can compensate for the
capacitance loss due to the DC voltage bias effect. For example, a 10 µF, X7R, 25 V rated capacitor used under
12 V DC bias may have approximately 8 µF effective capacitance in a 1210 (3225 metric) case size and about 6
µF in a 1206 (3216 metric) case size. As another example, a 10 µF, X7R, 16 V rated capacitor in a 1210 (3225
metric) case size used at 12 V DC bias may have approximately 5.5 µF effective capacitance. Check the
capacitor specifications published by the manufacturer.
8.2.2.3 Output Capacitor (COUT)
Similarly to the input capacitor, it is recommended to use low ESR multi-layer ceramic capacitors for COUT.
Ceramic capacitors with X5R and X7R temperature characteristics are recommended. Use 10 µF or larger value
and consider the DC voltage bias characteristics of the capacitor when choosing the case size and voltage
rating. For stability, the output capacitor should be in the 10 µF 200 µF effective capacitance range.
8.2.2.4 Softstart Capacitor (CSS)
The softstart capacitor is chosen according to the desired softstart time. As described in the Softstart and
Tracking Function section the softstart time TSS = CSS x 1.25 V / 2.5 μA.

A minimum CSS value of 1000 pF is required for monotonic VOUT ramp up.
8.2.2.5 Power Good Resistor (RPG)
If the Power Good function is used, a pull up resistor RPG is necessary from the PG pin to an external pull-up
voltage.
The minimum RPG value is restricted by the pull down current capability of the internal pull down device.
RPG-MIN = VPULL-UP / 2 mA (5)
The maximum RPG value is based on the maximum PG leakage current and the minimum “logic high” level
system requirements:
RPG-MAX= (VPULL-UP VLOGIC-HIGH) / ILKG_PG (6)
8.2.2.6 Feedback Resistors (RFBB and RFBT)
The feedback resistors RFBB and RFBT set the desired output voltage. Choose RFBB less than 400 kand
calculate the value for RFBT using the following formula:
RFBT = RFBB x (VOUT/ 0.8 1) (7)

8.3 Do's and Don'ts
DO NOT exceed the Absolute Maximum Ratings.
DO NOT exceed the Recommended Operating Conditions.
DO NOT exceed the ESD Ratings.
DO follow the Detailed Design Procedure.
DO follow the PCB Layout Guidelines and Layout Example.
DO follow the Power Supply Recommendations.
DO visit the TI E2E Community Support Forum to have your questions answered and designs reviewed.
9 Power Supply Recommendations
9.1 Voltage Range
The voltage of the input supply must not exceed the Absolute Maximum Ratings and the Recommended
Operating Conditions of the LMZ21700.
9.2 Current Capability
The input supply must be able to supply the required input current to the LMZ21700 converter. The required
input current depends on the application's minimum required input voltage (VIN-MIN), the required output power
(VOUT × IOUT-MAX), and the converter efficiency (η).
IIN = VOUT × IOUT-MAX / (VIN-MIN ×η) (8)
For example, for a design with 10 V minimum input voltage, 5 V output, and 0.5 A maximum load, considering
90 % conversion efficiency, the required input current is 0.278 A.
9.3 Input Connection
Long input connection cables can cause issues with the normal operation of any buck converter.
9.3.1 Voltage Drops
Using long input wires to connect the supply to the input of any converter adds impedance in series with the
input supply. This impedance can cause a voltage drop at the VIN pin of the converter when the output of the
converter is loaded. If the input voltage is near the minimum operating voltage, this added voltage drop can
cause the converter to drop out or reset. If long wires are used during testing, TI recommends adding some bulk
(for example, electrolytic) capacitance at the input of the converter.
9.3.2 Stability
The added inductance of long input cables together with the ceramic (and low ESR) input capacitor can result in
an underdamped RLC network at the input of the buck converter. This can cause oscillations on the input and
instability. If long wires are used, it is recommended to add some electrolytic capacitance in parallel with the
ceramic input capacitor. The electrolytic capacitor's ESR will improve the damping.
Use an electrolytic capacitor with CELECTROLYTIC 4xCCERAMIC and ESRELECTROLYTIC ≈√(LCABLE / CCERAMIC)
For example, two cables (one for VIN and one for GND), each 1 meter (~ 3 ft) long with ~1.0 mm diameter (18
AWG), placed 1 cm (~0.4 in) apart will form a rectangular loop resulting in about 1.2 µH of inductance. The
inductance in this example can be decreased to almost half if the input wires are twisted. Based on a 22 µF
ceramic input capacitor, the recommended parallel CELECTROLYTIC is 88 µF. Using a 100 µF capacitor will be
sufficient. The recommended ESRELECTROLYTIC0.23 Ωor larger, based on about 1.2 µH of inductance and 22
µF of ceramic input capacitance.
See application note SNVA489C for more details on input filter design.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The PCB layout is critical for the proper operation of any DC/DC switching converter. Although using modules
can simplify the PCB layout process, care should still be taken to minimize the inductance in the high di/dt loops
and to protect sensitive nodes. The following guidelines should be followed when designing a board layout with
the LMZ21700:
10.1.1 Minimize the High di/dt Loop Area
The input capacitor, the VIN terminal, and the GND terminal of the LMZ21700 form a high di/dt loop. Place the
input capacitor as close as possible to the VIN and GND terminals of the module IC. This minimizes the area of
the high di/dt loop and results in lower inductance in the switching current path. Lower inductance in the
switching current path translates to lower voltage spikes on the internal switch node and lower noise on the
output voltage. Make the copper traces between the input capacitor and the VIN and GND terminals wide and
short for better current handling and minimized parasitic inductance.
10.1.2 Protect the Sensitive Nodes in the Circuit
The feedback node is a sensitive circuit which can pick up noise. Make the feedback node as small as possible.
This can be achieved by placing the feedback divider as close as possible to the IC. Use thin traces to the
feedback pin in order to minimize the parasitic capacitance to other nodes. The feedback network carries very
small current and thick traces are not necessary. Another sensitive node to protect is the VOS pin. Use a thin
and short trace from the VOUT terminal of the output capacitor to the VOS pin. The VOS pin is right next to the
GND terminal. For very noisy systems, a small (0402 or 0201) 0.1-µF capacitor can be placed from VOS to GND
to filter high frequency noise on the VOS line.
10.1.3 Provide Thermal Path and Shielding
Using the available layers in the PCB can help provide additional shielding and improved thermal performance.
Large unbroken GND copper areas provide good thermal and return current paths. Flood unused PCB area with
GND copper. Use thermal vias to connect the GND copper between layers.
The required board area for proper thermal dissipation can be estimated using the power dissipation curves for
the desired output voltage and the package thermal resistance vs. board area curve. Refer to the power
dissipation graphs in the Typical Characteristics section. Using the power dissipation (PDISS) for the designed
input and output voltage and the max operating ambient temperature TAfor the application, estimate the required
thermal resistance RθJA with the following expression.
RθJA - REQUIRED(125ºC TA) / PDISS (9)

Layout Guidelines (continued)
Then use Figure 80 to estimate the board copper area required to achieve the calculated thermal resistance.
Figure 80. Package Thermal Resistance vs. Board Copper Area, No Air Flow
For example, for a design with 17 V input and 5 V output and 0.65 A load the power dissipation according to
Figure 7 is 0.43 W.
For 85°C ambient temperature, the RθJA-REQUIRED is (125°C - 85°C) / 0.43 W, or 93°C/W. Looking at Figure 80
the minimum copper area required to achieve this thermal resistance with a 4-layer board and 70 µm (2 oz)
copper is approximately 1 cm².
10.2 Layout Example
The following example is for a 4-layer board. Layers 2 and 4 provide additional shielding and thermal path. If a 2-
layer board is used, apply the Layer 1 and Layer 3 copper patterns for the top and bottom layers, respectively.

different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the
associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers
remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have
full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products
used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with
respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous
consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and
take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will
thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.
TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,
including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to
assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any
way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource
solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.
TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI
products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,
enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically
described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.
Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that
include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE
TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF
PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,
DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory
requirements in connection with such selection.
Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
