General Information
Reliability
The failure rate () and mean time between failures
(MTBF= 1/) is calculated at max output power and an
operating ambient temperature (TA) of +40°C. Ericsson
Power Modules uses Telcordia SR-332 Issue 2 Method 1
to calculate the mean steady-state failure rate and standard
deviation ().
Telcordia SR-332 Issue 2 also provides techniques to
estimate the upper confidence leve ls of failure rates based
on the mean and standard deviation.
Mean steady-state failure rate, Std. deviation,
92 nFailures/h 13.0 nFailures/h
MTBF (mean value) for the BMR 464 ser ies = 10.9 Mh.
MTBF at 90% confidenc e level = 9.2 Mh

Safety Specification
General information
Ericsson Power Modules DC/DC converters and DC/DC
regulators are designed in accordance with safety
standards IEC/EN/UL 60950-1 Safety of Information
Technology Equip m ent.
IEC/EN/UL 60950-1 contains requirements to prevent injury
or damage due to the following hazar ds:
Electrical shock
Energy hazards
Fire
Mechanical and heat hazards
Radiation hazards
Chemical hazards
On-board DC/DC converters and DC/DC regulators are
defined as component power supplies. As components
they cannot fully comply with the provisions of any safety
requirements without “Conditions of Acceptability”.
Clearance between conductors and between conductive
parts of the component power supply and conductors on
the board in the final product must meet the applicable
safety requirements. Certain conditions of acceptabilit y
apply for component po wer supplies with limited stand-off
(see Mechanical Information for further information). It is
the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the final
product housing these compo nents complies with the
requirements of all applicable safety standards and
regulations for the final product.
Component power supplies for general use should comply
with the requirements in IEC 60950-1, EN 60950-1 and
UL 60950-1 Safety of Information Technology Equipment.
There are other more product related standards, e.g.
IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD (Ethernet) Access Method, and
ETS-300132-2 Power supply interface at the input to
telecommunications equi pment, operated by direct current
(dc), but all of these standards are based on
IEC/EN/UL 60950-1 with regards to safety.
Ericsson Power Modules DC/DC converters and DC/DC
regulators are UL 60950-1 recognized and certified in
accordance with EN 60950-1.
The flammability rating for all construction parts of the
products meet requirements for V-0 class material
according to IEC 60695-11-10, Fire hazard testing, test
flames – 50 W horizontal and vertical flame test methods.
The products should be installed in the end-use equipment,
in accordance with the requirements of the ultimate
application. Normally the output of the DC/DC converter is
considered as SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) and the
input source must be isolated by minimum Doub le or
Reinforced Insulation from the primar y circuit (AC mains) in
accordance with IEC/EN/UL 60950-1.
Isolated DC/DC converters
It is recommended that a slow blow fuse is to be used at
the input of each DC/DC converter. If an input filter is used
in the circuit the fuse should be placed in front of the input
filter.
In the rare event of a component problem that imposes a
short circuit on the input source, this fuse will provide the
following functions:
Isolate the fault from the input power source so as
not to affect the operation of other parts of the
system.
Protect the distribution wiring from excessive
current and power loss thus preventing hazardous
overheating.
The galvanic isolation is verifi ed in an electric strength test.
The test voltage (Viso) between input and output is
1500 Vdc or 2250 Vdc (refer to product specification).
24 V DC systems
The input voltage to the DC/DC converter is SELV (Safety
Extra Low Voltage) and the output remains SELV under
normal and abnormal operating conditions.
48 and 60 V DC systems
If the input voltage to the DC/DC converter i s 75 Vdc or
less, then the output remains SELV (Safety Extra Low
Voltage) under normal and a bnormal operating con ditions.
Single fault testing in the input power supply circuit should
be performed with the DC/DC converter connecte d to
demonstrate that the input voltage does not exceed
75 Vdc.
If the input power source circuit is a DC power system, the
source may be treated as a TNV-2 circuit and testing has
demonstrated compliance with SELV limits in accordance
with IEC/EN/UL60950-1.
Non-isolated DC/DC regulators
The input voltage to the DC/DC regulator is SELV (Safety
Extra Low Voltage) and the output remains SELV under
normal and abnormal operating conditions.

Stress in excess of Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage. Absolute Maximum Ratings, sometimes referred to as no destruction limits, are
normally tested with one parameter at a time exceeding the limits in the Electrical Specification. If exposed to stress above these limits, function and performance
may degrade in an unspecified manner.
Configuration File
This product is designed with a digital control circuit. The control circuit uses a configuration file which determines the functionality and performance of the product.
The Electrical Specification table shows parameter values of functionality and performance with the default configuration file, unless otherwise specified. The default
configuration file is designed to fit most application need with focus on high efficiency. If different characteristics are required it is possible to change the
configuration file to optimize certain performan ce characteristic s. In this Technical specification examples are included to show the possibilities with digital control.
See Operating Information section for information about trade offs when optimizing certain key performance characteristics.

Layout Recommendations
The radiated EMI performanc e of the product will depend on
the PWB layout and ground l ayer design. It is also important to
consider the stand-off of the product. If a ground layer is us ed,
it should be connected to the output of the product and the
equipment ground or chassis.
A ground layer will increase the stray capacitance in the PWB
and improve the high frequency EMC performance.

Operating information
Power Management O verview
This product is equipped with a PMBus interface. The product
incorporates a wide rang e of readable and configurable power
management features that are simple to implement
with a minimum of external components. Additional ly, the
product includes protection features that continuously
safeguard the load from dama ge due to unexpected system
faults. A fault is also shown as an alert on the SALERT pin.
The following product parameters can continuously be
monitored by a host: Input voltage, output voltage/current,
and internal temperature. If the monitoring is not needed it can
be disabled and the prod uct enters a low power mode reducing
the power consumption. The protection features are not
affected.
The product is delivered with a default configuration suitable
for a wide range operation in terms of input v oltage, output
voltage, and load. The configuration is stored in an internal
Non-Volatile Memory (NVM). All po wer managem ent functions
can be reconfigured using the PMBus interface. Please contact
your local Ericsson Power Modules representative for design
support of custom configurations or appropriate SW tools for
design and down-load of your own configur ations.
Input Voltage
The input voltage range, 4.5 - 14 V, makes the product
easy to use in intermediate bus applications when powered
by a non-regulated bus conve r ter or a regulated bus converter.
See Ordering Information for input voltage range.
Input Under Voltage Lockout, UVLO
The product monitors the input voltage and will turn-on and
turn-off at configured levels. The default turn-on input voltage
level setting is 4.20 V, whereas the correspo nding turn-off input
voltage level is 3.85 V. Hence, the default hysteresis between
turn-on and turn-off input voltage is 0.35 V. Once an in put turn-

off condition occurs, the device can respon d in a number of
ways as follows:
1. Continue operating without interruption. The unit will
continue to operate as long as the input voltage can be
supported. If the input voltage continues to fall, there will
come a point where the unit will cease to operate.
2. Continue operating for a given delay period, followed by
shutdown if the fault still exists. The device will remain in
shutdown until instructed to restart.
3. Initiate an immediate shutdown until the fault has been
cleared. The user can select a specific number of retry
attempts.
The default response from a turn-off is an immediate shutdown
of the device. The device will continuously check for the
presence of the fault condition. If the fault condition is no
longer present, the product will be re-enabled. The turn-on and
turn-off levels and response can be reconfigured using the
PMBus interface.
Remote Control
The product is equipped with a
remote control function, i.e., the
CTRL pin. The remote control
can be connected to either the
primary negative inp ut
connection (GND) or an external
voltage (Vext), which is a 3 - 5 V
positive supply voltage in
accordance to the SMBus
Specification version 2.0.
The CTRL function allows the product to be turned on/off by an
external device like a semiconductor or mechanical switch. By
default the product will turn on when the CTRL pin is left open
and turn off when the CTRL pin is applied to GND. The CTRL
pin has an internal pull-up resistor. When the CTRL pin is left
open, the voltage generated o n the CTRL pin is max 5.5 V.
If the device is to be synchronized to an external clock source,
the clock frequency must be stable prior to asserting the CTRL
pin.
The product can also be configure d usin g the PMBus interface
to be “Always on”, or turn on/off can be performed with PMBus
commands.
Input and Output Impedance
The impedance of both the input source and the load will
interact with the impedance of the product. It is important that
the input source has low characteristic imp edance. The
performance in some applications can be enhanced by
addition of external capacitance as described under External
Decoupling Capacitors. If the input voltage source contains
significant inductance, the additio n a cap acitor with low ESR at
the input of the product will ensure stable operation.
External Capacitors
Input capacitors:
The input ripple RMS current in a buck co nverter is equal to
Eq. 1.

The maximum load ripp le current becomes

ID

I. The ripple
current is divided into three parts, i.e., currents in the input
source, external input capacitor, and inter na l input capacitor.
How the current is divided depends on the impedance of the
input source, ESR and capacitance values in the capacitors. A
minimum capacitance of 300 µF with low ESR is
recommended. The ripple current rating of the capacitors must
follow Eq. 1. For high-performance/transie nt applications or
wherever the input source performance is degraded, additional
low ESR ceramic type capacitors at the inp ut is recomme nded.
The additional input low ESR capacitance above the minimum
level insures an optimized performance.
Output capacitors:
When powering loads with significant d ynamic current
requirements, the voltage regulation at the point of load can be
improved by addition of decoupling ca pacitors at the load.
The most effective technique is to locate low ESR ceramic and
electrolytic capacitors as close to the load as possible, using
several capacitors in parallel to lower the effective ESR. The
ceramic capacitors will handle high-frequency dynamic load
changes while the electrolytic capacitors are used to handle
low frequency dynamic load changes. Ceramic capacitors will
also reduce high frequenc y noise at the load.
It is equally important to use low resistance and low inductance
PWB layouts and cabling.
External decoupling cap acitors are a part of the control loop of
the product and may affect the stability margins.
Stable operation is guaranteed for the following total

For a total capacitance outside the above stated range or

Control Loop Compensation
The product is configured with a robust control loop
compensation which allows for a wide range operation of input
and output voltages and capa citive loads as defined in the
section External Decoupling Capacitors. For an application
with a specific input voltage, output voltage, and ca pacitive
load, the control loop can be optimized for a robust and stable
operation and with an improved load transient response. This
optimization will minimize the amount of required output
decoupling capacitors for a giv en load transient requirement
yielding an optimized cost an d minimized board space. T he
control loop parameters can be reconfi gured using the PMBus
interface.
Load Transient Respo nse Optimization
The product incorporates a Non-Linear transient Respo nse,
NLR, loop that decreases the response time and the output
voltage deviation during a load transient. The NLR results i n a
higher equivalent loop bandwidth than is possible using a
traditional linear control loop. The product is pre-configured
with appropriate NLR settin gs for robust and stable operation
for a wide range of input voltage and a cap acitive load range
as defined in the section External Decoupling Capacitors. For
an application with a specific input voltage, output voltage, and
capacitive load, the NLR confi guration can be optimized for a
robust and stable operation and with an improved load
transient response. This will also reduce the amount of output
decoupling capacitors and yield a reduced cost. However, the
NLR slightly reduces the efficiency. In order to obtain maximal
energy efficiency the load transient requirement has to be met
by the standard control loop compensation a nd the decoupling
capacitors. The NLR settings can be reconfigured using the
PMBus interface.
Remote Sense
The product has remote sense that can be u s ed to
compensate for voltage drops between the output and the
point of load. The sense traces should be located close to the
PWB ground layer to reduce noise susceptibilit y. Due to
derating of internal output capacitance the voltage drop should
be kept below . A large voltage
drop will impact the electrical performance of the regulator. If
the remote sense is not needed +S should be connected to
VOUT and S should be connected to GND.

Output Voltage Adjust using Pin-strap Resistor

RSET also sets the maximum output voltage, see section
“Output Voltage Range Limitation”. T he resistor is sensed only
during product start-up. Changin g the resisto r value during
normal operation will not change the output voltage. The input

Output Voltage Adjust using PMBus
The output voltage of the product can be configured using the
PMBus interface in the range 0.54 to 3.63. S ee Ordering
Information for output voltage rang e.
Output Voltage Range Limitation
The output voltage range configurable by the PMBus interface
is limited by the pin-strap resistor RSET. RSET sets the maximum
output voltage to approximate ly 110% of the nominal output
value, , where
calibration offset is max 70 mV. A PMBus command can not
set the output voltage higher than . This protects the
load from an over voltage due to an acci dental wrong PMBus
command.

Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The product includes over volt age limiting circuitry for
protection of the load. The default OVP limit is 15% above the
nominal output voltage. If the output voltage exceeds the OVP
limit, the product can respond in different ways:
1. Initiate an immediate shutdown until the fault has been
cleared. The user can select a specific number of retry
attempts.
2. Turn off the high-side MOSFET and turn on t he low-side
MOSFET. The low-side MOSFET remains ON until the
device attempts a restart, i.e. the output voltage is pulled to
ground level (crowbar function).
The default response from an overvoltage fault is to
immediately shut do wn as in 2. The device will continuously
check for the presence of the fault condition, and when the
fault condition no longer exists the device will be re-enabled.
For continuous OVP when operating from an external clock for
synchronization, the only allowed respons e is an immediate
shutdown. The OVP limit and fault response can be
reconfigured using the PMBus interface.
Under Voltage Protection (UVP)
The product includes output under vo ltage limiting circuitry for
protection of the load. The default UVP limit is 15% be low the
nominal output voltage. T he UVP limit can be reconfigured
using the PMBus interface.
Power Good
The product provides a Power Good (PG) flag in the Status
Word register that indicates the output voltage is within a
specified tolerance of its target level an d no fault condition
exists. If specified in section Connections, the product also
provides a PG signal output. The PG pin is active high and by
default open-drain but may also be configured as push-pull via
the PMBus interface.
By default, the PG signal will be asserted if the output is within
-10%/+15% of the target voltage. These limits may be changed
via the PMBus interface. A PG delay period is defined as the
time from when all conditions within the product for asserting
PG are met to when the PG signal is actually asserted. By
default, the PG delay is set equal to the soft-start ramp time
setting. Therefore, if the soft-start ramp time is set to 10 ms,
the PG delay will be set to 10 ms. The PG delay may be set
independently of the soft-start ramp using the PMBus interface.
Switching Frequency
The fundamental switching frequency is 320 kHz, which yields
optimal power efficiency. The switching frequency can be set
to any value between 200 kHz and 640 kHz using the PMBus
interface. The switching frequency will change the
efficiency/power dissipation, load transient response and
output ripple. For optimal control loop performance the control
loop must be re-designed when changing the switching
frequency.
Synchronization
Synchronization is a feature that allows multiple products to be
synchronized to a common frequency. Synchronized products
powered from the same bus eliminate beat frequencies
reflected back to the input supply, and also reduces EMI
filtering requirements. Eliminating the slow beat frequencies
(usually <10 kHz) allows the EMI filter to be designed to
attenuate only the synchronization frequency. Synchronization
can also be utilized for phase spreading, described in section
Phase Spreading.
The products can be synchronized with an external oscillator or
one product can be configur ed with the SYNC pin as a SYNC
Output working as a master driving the synchronization. All
others on the same synchronization bus should be configured
with SYNC Input or SYNC Auto Detect (Default configuration)
for correct operation. When the SYNC pin is config ured in auto
detect mode the product will automatically ch eck for a clock
signal on the SYNC pin.
Phase Spreading
When multiple products share a common DC input supply,
spreading of the switching clock phase between the products
can be utilized. T his dramatically reduces input capacitance
requirements and efficiency losses, since the peak curre nt
drawn from the input supply is effectively spread out over the
whole switch period. This requires that the products are
synchronized. Up to 16 different phases can be used.
The phase spreading of the product can be configured using
the PMBus interface.
Parallel Operation (Current Sharing)
Paralleling multiple products can be used to increase the
output current capability of a single power rail. By connecting
the GCB pins of each device and configuring the devices as a
current sharing rail, the units will share the c urrent equally,
enabling up to 100% utiliz ation of the current capability for
each device in the current shar ing rail. The product uses a low-
bandwidth, first-order digital current sharing by aligning the
output voltage of the slave dev ices to del iver the same current
as the master device. Artificial droop resistance is added to the
output voltage path to control the slope of the loa d lin e curve,
calibrating out the phys ical parasitic mismatches due to power
train components and PWB layout. Up to 7 devices can be
configured in a given current shari ng group.

Phase Adding and Shedding fo r Parallel Operation
During periods of light load ing, it may be beneficial to disable
one or more phases (modules) in order to el iminate the current
drain and switching losses associated with those phases,
resulting in higher efficiency. The product offers the ability to
add and drop phases (modules) using a PMBus command in
response to an observed load current chan ge. All phases
(modules) in a current share rail ar e considered active prior to
the current sharing rail ramp to power-good. Phases can be
dropped after power-good is reached. An y member of the
current sharing rail can be dropped. If the reference module is
dropped, the remaining active module with the lowest member
position will become the ne w referenc e. Additionally, any
change to the number of members of a current sharing rail will
precipitate autonomous phase distribution within the rail where
all active phases realign their phase position based on their
order within the number of active members. If the members of
a current sharing rail are forced to shut down due to an
observed fault, all members of the rail will attempt to re-start
simultaneously after the fault has cleared.
Adaptive Diode Emulation
Most power converters use synchronous rectification to
optimize efficiency over a wide range of input and output
conditions. However, at light loads the synchronous MOSFET
will typically sink current and introduce additional energy
losses associated with higher peak inductor currents, resulting
in reduced efficiency. Adaptive diode emulation mode turns off
the low-side FET gate drive at low load currents to prevent the
inductor current from going negative, reduci ng the energy
losses and increasing overall efficiency. Diode emul ation is not
available for current sharing groups. Note: the overall
bandwidth of the product may be reduced when in diode
emulation mode. It is recommended that diode emulation is
disabled prior to applying significant load steps. The diode
emulation mode can be configured using the PMBus interface.
Adaptive Frequency and Pulse Skip Control
Since switching losses contribute to the efficiency of the power
converter, reducing the switching frequency will reduce the
switching losses and incr ease efficiency. The product includes
an Adaptive Frequency C ontrol mode, which effectively
reduces the observed s witchi ng frequency as the load
decreases. Adaptive frequency mode is only available while
the device is operating within Adaptive Diode Emulation Mode.
As the load current is decreased, diode emulation mode
decreases the Synch-FET on-time to prevent negative inductor
current from flowing. As the load is decreased further, the
Switch-FET pulse width will be gin to decrease while
maintaining the programmed frequ ency, fPROG (set by the
FREQ_SWITCH command). Once the Switch-FET pulse width
(D) reaches 50% of the nominal duty cycle, DNOM (determined
by VI and VO), the switching frequency will start to decrease
according to the following equation:
Eq. 5.

2.
Disabling a minimum Sync h-FET makes the product also pulse
skip which reduces the power loss further.
It should be noted that adaptive frequency mode is not
available for current sharing groups and is not allowed when
the device is placed in auto-detect mode and a clock source is
present on the SYNC pin, or if the device is outputting a clock
signal on its SYNC pin. The adaptive frequency an d pulse skip
modes can be configured usin g the PMBus interface.
Efficiency Optimized Dead Time Control
The product utilizes a closed l oop algorithm to optimize the
dead-time applied between the gate drive signals for the switch
and synch FETs. The algorithm constantly adjusts the
deadtime non-overlap to minimize the duty cycle, thus
maximizing efficiency. This algorithm will null out deadtime
differences due to component variation, temperature and
loading effects. The algorithm can be configured via the
PMBus interface.
Over Current Protection (OCP)
The product includes current limiting circuitry for protection at
continuous overload. The following OCP response options ar e
available:
1. Initiate a shutdown and attempt to restart an infinite number
of times with a preset delay period between attempts.
2. Initiate a shutdown and attempt to restart a preset number
of times with a preset delay period
3. Continue operating for a given delay period, followed by
shutdown if the fault still exists.
4. Continue operating thro ugh the fault (this could result in
permanent damage to the product).
5. Initiate an immediate shutdown.
The default response from an over current fault is an
immediate shutdo wn of the device. The device will
continuously check for the presence of the fault condition, and
if the fault condition no longer exists the device will be re-
enabled.The load distribution should be designed for the
maximum output short circuit current specified. The OCP limit
and response of the product can be reconfigured using the
PMBus interface.
Note for BMR464.
When the ratio VO/VI is below 0.07 (e.g. VI = 12 V and VO= 0.6
V), and the default configuration file is used, the OCP limit
threshold may be below specified minimum value. If the
specified maximum output current is reached under such ope-
rating conditions, it is recommended to incr ease the OCP limit.
Start-up Procedure
The product follows a specific internal start-up procedure after
power is applied to the VIN pin:
1. Status of the address and output voltage pin-strap pins are
checked and values associated with the pin settings are
loaded.

2. Values stored in the Ericsson default non-v olatile memory
are loaded. This overwrites any previously loaded values.
3. Values stored in the user non-volatil e memory are loaded.
This overwrites any previously loaded values.
Once this process is completed and the start-up time has
passed (see Electrical Specification), the product is ready to be
enabled using the CTRL pin. The product is also ready to
accept commands via the PMBus interface, which will
overwrite any values loaded during the start-up procedure.
Soft-start Power Up
The soft-start control introduces a time-delay before allowing
the output voltage to rise. Once the start-up time has passed
and the output has been enabled, the device requires
approximately 2 ms before its output volta ge ma y be allowed to
start its ramp-up process. If a soft-start delay period less than 2
ms has been configured the device will default to a 2 ms delay
period. If a delay period greater than 2 ms is configured, the
device will wait for the configured delay period prior to starting
to ramp its output. After the delay period has expired, the
output will begin to ramp towards its target voltage according to
the configured soft-start ramp time.
The default settings for the soft-start delay period and the soft-
start ramp time is 10 ms. Hence, power-up is completed within
20 ms in default configuration using remote control. Precise
timing reduces the delay time variations and is by default
activated. The soft-start power up of the product can be
reconfigured using the PMBus interface.
Output Voltage Sequencing
A group of products may be configured to power up in a
predetermined sequence. This feature is especial ly useful
when powering advanced processors, FPGAs, and ASICs that
require one supply to reac h its operating voltage prior to
another. Multi-product sequencin g can b e achieved by
configuring the start delay and rise time of each device through
the PMBus interface and by using the CTRL start signal.

Voltage Tracking
The product integrates a lossless tracking scheme that allows
its output to track a voltage that is applied to the VTRK pin with
no external components required. During ramp-up, the output
voltage follows the VTRK voltage u ntil the preset output
voltage level is met. The product offers two modes of tracking
as follows:
1. Coincident. This mode configures the prod uct to ramp its
output voltage at the same rate as the voltage applied to
the VTRK pin.

2. Ratiometric. This mode configures the pro du ct to ramp its
output voltage at a rate that is a percentage of the voltag e
applied to the VTRK pin. The default settin g is 50%, but a
different tracking ratio may be set by an external resistive
voltage divider or through the PMBus interface.

Illustration of Ratiometric Voltage Tracking
The master device in a tracking group is defined as the device
that has the highest target output voltage within the gr oup. This
master device will control the ramp rate of all tracking devices
and is not configured for tracking mode. All of the CTRL pins in
the tracking group must be connected and driven by a single
logic source. It should be noted that current sharing gro ups
that are also configured to track another voltage do not offer
pre-bias protection; a minimu m load should therefore be
enforced to avoid the output voltag e from being held up by an
outside force.
Voltage Margining Up/Down
The product can adjust its output higher or lower than its
nominal voltage setting in ord er to determin e whether the load
device is capable of operatin g over its specified supply voltage
range. This provides a conven ient metho d for dynamically

testing the operation of the load circuit over its supply margin
or range. It can also be used to verify the function of supply
voltage supervisors. Margin limits of the nominal output voltage
±5% are default, but the margin limits can be reconfigured
using the PMBus interface.
Pre-Bias Startup Capability
Pre-bias startup often occurs in complex digital systems when
current from another power source is fed back through a dual-
supply logic component, such as FPGAs or ASICs. The
BMR464 product family incorporates synchronous rectifi ers,
but will not sink current during startup, or turn off, or whenever
a fault shuts down the product in a pre-bias condition. Pre-bias
protection is not offered for current sharing groups that also
have voltage tracking enabled .
Group Communication Bus
The Group Communication Bus, GCB, is used to communicate
between products. T his dedi cated bus provides the
communication channel between devices for features such as
sequencing, fault spreading, and current sharing. The GCB
solves the PMBus data rate limitation. The GCB pin on all
devices in an applicatio n should be connected together. For
robust communication it is recommended that 27 ohm series
resistors are placed, close to the GCB pin, between each
device and the common GCB connection. A pull-up resistor is
required on the common GCB in order to gua rantee the rise
time as follows:
Eq. 6 sCR GCBGCB
1 ,
where is the pull up resistor value and is the bus
loading. The pull-up resistor s hould be tied to to an external 3.3
V or 5 V supply voltage, which should be pr esent prior to or
during power-up.
GCB
RGCB
C
Fault spreading
The product can be configur ed to broadcast a fault event over
the GCB to the other devices in the group. When a non-
destructive fault occurs and the device is configured to shut
down on a fault, the device will shut down and broadcast the
fault event over the GCB. The other devices on the GCB will
shut down together if configured to do so, and will attempt to
re-start in their prescribed order if configured to do so.
Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
The products are protected from thermal overload by an
internal over temperature shut down circuit. When TP1 as
defined in thermal consideration section exceeds 120°C the
product will shut down. The product will make contin uous
attempts to start up and resume normal operation
automatically when the temperature h as dropped >15°C below
the over temperature threshold. The specified OTP level and
hysteresis are valid for worst case operation regarding cooling
conditions, input voltage and output voltage. This means the
OTP level and hysteresis in many cases will be lower. The
OTP level, hysteresis, and fault response of the product can be
reconfigured using the PMBus interface. T he fault respons e
can be configured as follows:
1. Initiate a shutdown and attempt to restart an infinite number
of times with a preset delay period between attempts
(default configuration).
2. Initiate a shutdown and attempt to restart a preset number
of times with a preset delay period between attempts.
3. Continue operating for a given delay period, followed by
shutdown if the fault still exists.
4. Continue operating thro ugh the fault (this could result in
permanent damage to the power sup pl y).
5. Initiate an immediate shutdown.
Optimization examples
This product is designed with a digital control circuit. The
control circuit uses a configuration file which determines the
functionality and performa nce of the product. It is possible to
change the configuration file to optimiz e certain performance
characteristics. In the table below is a schematic view on how
to change different configuration par ameters in order to

Thermal Consideration
General
The product is designed to operate in different thermal
environments and sufficient cooling must be provided to
ensure reliable operation.
Cooling is achieved mainl y by conduction, from the pins to the
host board, and convection, which is dependant on the airflow
across the product. Increased airflow enhances the cooling of
the product.
The Output Current Derating graph foun d in the Output section
for each model provides the available output current vs.
ambient air temperature and air vel ocity at specified VI.
The product is tested on a 254 x 254 mm, 35 µm (1 oz), test
board mounted vertically in a wind tunn el with a cross-section
of 608 x 203 mm. The test board has 8 layers.
Proper cooling of the product can be verified by measuring the
temperature at positions P1 and P2. The temperature at these
positions should not exceed the max values provided in the
table below.
Note that the max value is the absolute maximum rating
(non destruction) and that the electrical Output data is
guaranteed up to TP1 +85°C.
See Design Note 019 for further information.
Definition of product operating temperature
The product operating temper atures are used to monitor the
temperature of the product, and proper thermal conditions can
be verified by measuring the tem perature at positions P1 and
P2. The temperature at these positions (TP1, TP2) should not
exceed the maximum temper atures in the table below. The
number of measurement points may vary with different thermal
design and topology. Temperatures above maximum TP1,
measured at the reference point P1 are not allowed and may
cause permanent damage.

PMBus Interface
This product provides a PMBus digital interfa ce that enables
the user to configure many aspects of the device operation as
well as to monitor the input and output voltages, output current
and device temperature. The product can be used with any
standard two-wire I2C or SMBus host devic e. In addition, the
module is compatible with PMBus version 1.1 and includes an
SALERT line to help mitigate bandwidth limitations related to
continuous fault monitoring. The product supports 100 kHz
bus clock frequency onl y. The PMBus signals, SCL, SDA and
SALERT require passive pull-up resistors as stated in the
SMBus Specification. Pull-up resistors are required to
guarantee the rise time as follows:
Eq. 7 sCR pP
1
where Rp is the pull-up resistor value and Cp is the bus
loading, the maximum allowed bus load is 400 pF. The pull-up
resistor should be tied to an external supply voltage in range
from 2.7 to 5.5V, which should be present prior to or during
power-up. If the proper power supply is not available, voltage
dividers may be applied. Note that in this case, the resistance
in the equation above corresponds to parallel connection of
the resistors forming the voltage divider.
Monitoring via PMBus
It is possible to monitor a wide variety of different parameters
through the PMBus interface. Fault conditions can be
monitored using the SALERT pin, which will be asserted when
any number of pre-co nfigured fault or warning conditio ns
occur. It is also possible to continuously monitor one or more
of the power conversion parameters including but not limited
to the following:
Input voltage
Output voltage
Output current
Internal junction temperature
Switching frequency
Duty cycle
Snap Shot Parameter Capture
This product offers a special feature that enables the us er to
capture parametric data during normal operation or following a
fault. The following parameters are stored:
Input voltage
Output voltage
Output current
Internal junction temperature
Switching frequency
Duty cycle
Status registers
The Snapshot feature enables the user to read the parameters
via the PMBus interface during normal opera t ion, although it
should be noted that reading the 22 bytes will occupy the bus
for some time. The Snapshot enables the user to store the
snapshot parameters to Flash memory in response to a
pending fault as well as to read the stored data from Flash
memory after a fault has occurred. Automatic store to Flash
memory following a fault is triggered when any fault threshold
level is exceeded, provided that the specific fault resp onse is
to shut down. Writing to Flash memory is not allowed if the
device is configured to restart following the specific fault
condition. It should also be noted that the device supply
voltage must be maintained during the time the device is
writing data to Flash memory; a process that requires between
700-1400 μs depe nding on whether the data is set up for a
block write. Undesirabl e results may be observed if the input
voltage of the modules drops below 3.0 V during this process
Software Tools for Design and Production
Ericsson provides soft ware for configuration and monitoring of
this product via the PMBus interface.

Ericsson sales representative.
PMBus Addressing
The PMBus address should be config ured with resistors
connected between the SA0/SA1 pins and the PREF pin, as
shown in the figure below. Recommended resistor values for
hard-wiring PMBus addresses are shown in the table. 1%
tolerance resistors are required.

The PMBus address follo ws the equation b elow:
Eq. 8 PMBus Address (decimal) = 25 x (SA1 index) +
(SA0 index)
The user can theoretically configure up to 625 unique PMBus
addresses, however the PMBus address ran ge is inherently
limited to 128. Therefore, the user should use index values 0 -
4 on the SA1 pin and the full range of ind ex values on the SA0
pin, which will provide 125 device address combinations. T he
user shall also be aware of further limitations of the address
space as stated in the SMBus Specification.
Note that address 0x4B is allocated for production needs and
can not be used.
Optional PMBus Addressing
Alternatively the PMBus addr ess can be defined by
connecting the SA0/SA1 pins according to the following table.
SA1 = open for products with no SA1 pin.

Setup and hold times timing diagram
The setup time, tset, is the time data, SDA, must be stable
before the rising edge of the clock signal, SCL. The hold time
thold, is the time data, SDA, must be stable after the rising edge
of the clock signal, SCL. If these times are violated incorrect
data may be captured or meta-stability may occur and the bus
communication may fail. When configuring the pro duct, all
standard SMBus protocols must be followed, including clock
stretching. Additionally, a bus-free time delay between every
SMBus transmission (between every stop & start condition)
must occur. Refer to the SMBus specification, for SMBus
electrical and timing requirements. Note that an additional
delay of 20 ms has to be inserted in case of storing the RAM
content into the internal non-volatile memory.

Soldering Information - Surface Mounting
The surface mount product is intend ed for forced convection or
vapor phase reflow soldering in SnPb or Pb-free processes.
The reflow profile should be optimised to avoid excessive
heating of the product. It is recommended to have a sufficiently
extended preh eat time to ensure an even temperature across
the host PCB and it is also recommended to minimize the time
in reflow.
A no-clean flux is recommended to avoid entrapment of
cleaning fluids in cavities insid e the prod uct or between the
product and the host board, since cleaning residues may affect
long time reliability and isolation voltage.
Minimum Pin Temperature Recommendations
Pin number 2B chosen as reference location for the minimum
pin temperature recommendation since this will likely be the
coolest solder joint during the reflow process.
SnPb solder processes
For SnPb solder processes, a pin temperat ure (TPIN) in excess
of the solder melting temperature, (TL, 183°C for Sn63Pb37) for
more than 30 seconds and a peak temperature of 210°C is
recommended to ensure a reliabl e solder joint.
For dry packed products only: dependin g on the type of solder
paste and flux system used on the host board, up to a
recommended maximum temperature of 245°C could be used,
if the products are kept in a controlled environment (dry pack
handling and storage) prior to assembly.

Lead-free (Pb-free) solder processes
For Pb-free solder processes, a pin temperature (TPIN) in
excess of the solder melting temperature (TL, 217 to 221°C for
SnAgCu solder alloys) for more than 30 seconds and a peak
temperature of 235°C on all solder joints is recommended to
ensure a reliable solder joint.
Maximum Product Temperature Requirements
Top of the product PCB near pin 10B is chosen as reference
location for the maximum (peak) allowed product temperature
(TPRODUCT) since this will likely be the warmest part of the
product during the reflow process.
SnPb solder processes
For SnPb solder processes, the product is qualified for MSL 1
according to IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020C.
During reflow TPRODUCT must not exceed 225 °C at any time.
Pb-free solder processes
For Pb-free solder processes, the product is qualified for MSL 3
according to IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020C.
During reflow TPRODUCT must not exceed 260 °C at any time.
Dry Pack Information
Surface mounted versions of the products are delivered in
standard moisture barrier ba gs according to IPC/JEDEC
standard J-STD-033 (Handli ng, packing, shipping and use of
moisture/reflow sensitivity surface mount devices).
Using products in high temperature Pb-free soldering
processes requires dry pack stor age and handling. In case the
products have been stored in an uncontrolled environment and
no longer can be considered dry, the modules must be baked
according to J-STD-033.
