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.

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

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.





DDII loadinputRMS  1,

where is the output load current and is the duty cycle.

The maximum load ripp le current becomes

load

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.

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 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

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:

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.

VOUT

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.

VOUT

MASTER

SLAVE

Illustration of Coincident Voltage Tracking.

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.

VOUT

MASTER

SLAVE

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

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

achieve an optimization towards a wanted performance.

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.

For more information please contact your local

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.
