(6) Value when no voltage divider is present at the INH/UVLO pin. This pin has an internal pullup. If it is left open, the device operates when
input power is applied. A small, low-leakage MOSFET is recommended for control. Do not tie this pin to VIN.
(7) A minimum of 44 µF of external ceramic capacitance is required across the input (VIN and PVIN connected) for proper operation. An
additional 100 µF of bulk capacitance is recommended. It is also recommended to place a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor directly across the
PVIN and PGND pins of the device. Locate the input capacitance close to the device. When operating with split VIN and PVIN rails,
place 4.7 µF of ceramic capacitance directly at the VIN pin. See Table 4 for more details.
(8) The amount of required output capacitance varies depending on the output voltage (see Table 3). The amount of required capacitance
must include at least 1 × 47 µF ceramic capacitor. Locate the capacitance close to the device. Adding additional capacitance close to
the load improves the response of the regulator to load transients. See Table 3 and Table 4 more details.
(9) The maximum output capacitance of 5000 µF includes the combination of both ceramic and non-ceramic capacitors. It may be
necessary to increase the slow-start time when turning on into the maximum capacitance. See the Slow Start (SS/TR) section for
information on adjusting the slow-start time.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LMZ31710 is a full-featured 2.95-V to 17-V input, 10-A, synchronous step-down converter with PWM,
MOSFETs, inductor, and control circuitry integrated into a low-profile, overmolded package. This device enables
small designs by integrating all but the input and output capacitors, while still leaving the ability to adjust key
parameters to meet specific design requirements. The LMZ31710 provides a wide output voltage range of 0.6 V
to 5.5 V. In most applications, a single external resistor is used to adjust the output voltage. The switching
frequency is also adjustable by using an external resistor or a synchronization pulse to accommodate various
input/output voltage conditions and to optimize efficiency. The device provides accurate voltage regulation for a
variety of loads by using an internal voltage reference that is ±1% accurate over temperature. The INH/UVLO pin
can be pulled low to put the device in standby mode to reduce input quiescent current. The input undervoltage
lockout can be adjusted using a resistor divider on the IN/UVLO pin of the device. The device provides a power-
good signal to indicate when the output is within ±5% of its nominal voltage. The ability to parallel the LMZ31710
allows it to be used in higher current applications. Thermal shutdown and current limit features protect the device
during an overload condition. Automatic pulse skip mode improves light-load efficiency. A 42-pin, QFN, package
that includes exposed bottom pads provides a thermally enhanced solution for space-constrained applications.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 VIN and PVIN Input Voltage
The LMZ31710 allows for a variety of applications by using the VIN and PVIN pins together or separately. The
VIN voltage supplies the internal control circuits of the device. The PVIN voltage provides the input voltage to the
power converter system.
If tied together, the input voltage for the VIN pin and the PVIN pin can range from 4.5 V to 17 V. If you are using
the VIN pin separately from the PVIN pin, the VIN pin must be greater than 4.5 V, and the PVIN pin can range
from as low as 2.95 V to 17 V. When operating from a split rail, it is recommended to supply VIN from 5 V to 12
V for best performance. A voltage divider connected to the INH/UVLO pin can adjust either input voltage UVLO
appropriately. See the Programmable Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) section for more information.
7.3.2 3.3-V PVIN Operation
Applications operating from a PVIN of 3.3 V must provide at least 4.5 V for VIN. It is recommended to supply VIN
from 5 V to 12 V for best performance. See the Powering LMZ3 SIMPLE SWITCHER Power Modules From 3.3 V
Application Note for help creating 5 V from 3.3 V using a small, simple charge pump device.
7.3.3 Adjusting the Output Voltage (0.6 V to 5.5 V)
The VADJ control sets the output voltage of the LMZ31710. The output voltage adjustment range of the
LMZ31710 is from 0.6 V to 5.5 V. The adjustment method requires the addition of RSET, which sets the output
voltage, the connection of SENSE+ to VOUT, and in some cases, RRT which sets the switching frequency. The
RSET resistor must be connected directly between the VADJ (pin 26) and AGND (pin 23). The SENSE+ pin (pin
27) must be connected to VOUT either at the load for improved regulation or at VOUT of the device. The RRT
resistor must be connected directly between the RT/CLK (pin 22) and AGND (pin 23). Table 1 gives the standard
external RSET resistor for a number of common bus voltages, along with the recommended RRT resistor for that
output voltage.

7.3.4 Capacitor Recommendations For the LMZ31710 Power Supply
7.3.4.1 Capacitor Technologies
7.3.4.1.1 Electrolytic, Polymer-Electrolytic Capacitors
When using electrolytic capacitors, high-quality, computer-grade electrolytic capacitors are recommended.
Polymer-electrolytic type capacitors are recommended for applications where the ambient operating temperature
is less than 0°C. The Sanyo OS-CON capacitor series is suggested due to the following:
Lower ESR
Higher rated surge
Power dissipation
Ripple current capability
Small package size
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors provide adequate decoupling over the frequency range of 2 kHz to 150 kHz, and
are suitable when ambient temperatures are above 0°C.
7.3.4.1.2 Ceramic Capacitors
The performance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is less effective than ceramic capacitors above 150 kHz.
Multilayer ceramic capacitors have a low ESR and a resonant frequency higher than the bandwidth of the
regulator. They can be used to reduce the reflected ripple current at the input as well as improve the transient
response of the output.

7.3.4.1.3 Tantalum, Polymer-Tantalum Capacitors
Polymer-tantalum type capacitors are recommended for applications where the ambient operating temperature is
less than 0°C. The Sanyo POSCAP series and Kemet T530 capacitor series are recommended rather than many
other tantalum types due to the following:
Lower ESR
Higher rated surge
Power dissipation
Ripple current capability
Small package size
Tantalum capacitors that have no stated ESR or surge current rating are not recommended for power
applications.
7.3.4.2 Input Capacitor
The LMZ31710 requires a minimum input capacitance of 44 μF of ceramic type. An additional 100 µF of non-
ceramic capacitance is recommended for applications with transient load requirements. The voltage rating of
input capacitors must be greater than the maximum input voltage. At worst case, when operating at 50% duty
cycle and maximum load, the combined ripple current rating of the input capacitors must be at least 5 Arms.
Table 4 includes a preferred list of capacitors by vendor. It is also recommended to place a 0.1-µF ceramic
capacitor directly across the PVIN and PGND pins of the device. When operating with split VIN and PVIN rails,
place 4.7 µF of ceramic capacitance directly at the VIN pin.
7.3.4.3 Output Capacitor
The required output capacitance is determined by the output voltage of the LMZ31710. See Table 3 for the
amount of required capacitance. The effects of temperature and capacitor voltage rating must be considered
when selecting capacitors to meet the minimum required capacitance. The required output capacitance can be
comprised of all ceramic capacitors, or a combination of ceramic and bulk capacitors. The required capacitance
must include at least one 47-µF ceramic. When adding additional non-ceramic bulk capacitors, low-ESR devices
like the ones recommended in Table 4 are required. The required capacitance above the minimum is determined
by actual transient deviation requirements. See Table 5 for typical transient response values for several output
voltage, input voltage, and capacitance combinations. Table 4 includes a preferred list of capacitors by vendor.
(1) Minimum required must include at least one 47-µF ceramic capacitor.

7.3.6 Power Good (PWRGD)
The PWRGD pin is an open-drain output. Once the voltage on the SENSE+ pin is between 95% and 104% of the
set voltage, the PWRGD pin pulldown is released, and the pin floats. The recommended pullup resistor value is
between 10 kΩand 100 kΩto a voltage source that is 5.5 V or less. The PWRGD pin is in a defined state once
VIN is greater than 1 V, but with reduced current sinking capability. The PWRGD pin achieves full current sinking
capability once the VIN pin is above 4.5 V. The PWRGD pin is pulled low when the voltage on SENSE+ is lower
than 91% or greater than 108% of the nominal set voltage. Also, the PWRGD pin is pulled low if the input UVLO
or thermal shutdown is asserted, the INH pin is pulled low, or the SS/TR pin is below 1.4 V.
7.3.7 Light Load Efficiency (LLE)
The LMZ31710 operates in pulse skip mode at light load currents to improve efficiency and decrease power
dissipation by reducing switching and gate drive losses.
These pulses can cause the output voltage to rise when there is no load to discharge the energy. For output
voltages < 1.5 V, a minimum load is required. The amount of required load can be determined by Equation 2. In
most cases, the minimum current drawn by the load circuit will be enough to satisfy this load. For applications
requiring a load resistor to meet the minimum load, the added power dissipation will be 3.6 mW. A single 0402
size resistor across VOUT and PGND can be used.
(2)
When VOUT = 0.6 V and RSET = OPEN, the minimum load current is 600 µA.
7.3.8 SYNC_OUT
The LMZ31710 provides a 180° out-of-phase clock signal for applications requiring synchronization. The
SYNC_OUT pin produces a 50% duty cycle clock signal that is the same frequency as the switching frequency of
the device, but is 180° out-of-phase. Operating two devices 180° out-of-phase reduces input and output voltage
ripple. The SYNC_OUT clock signal is compatible with other LMZ3 devices that have a CLK input.

Up to six LMZ31710 devices can be paralleled for increased output current. Multiple connections must be made
between the paralleled devices and the component selection is slightly different than for a stand-alone
LMZ31710 device. A typical LMZ31710 parallel schematic is shown in Figure 23. Refer to the LMZ31710 Parallel
Operation Application Note for information and design help when paralleling multiple LMZ31710 devices.
Additionally, an EVM featuring two LMZ31710 devices operating in parallel can be evaluated using the
LMZ31710 Parallel User's Guide.

7.3.10 Power-Up Characteristics
When configured as shown in the application circuit on the first page, the LMZ31710 produces a regulated output
voltage following the application of a valid input voltage. During the power-up, internal soft-start circuitry slows
the rate that the output voltage rises, thereby limiting the amount of in-rush current that can be drawn from the
input source. Figure 24 shows the start-up waveforms for a LMZ31710, operating from a 5-V input (PVIN = VIN)
and with the output voltage adjusted to 1.8 V. Figure 25 shows the start-up waveforms for a LMZ31710 starting
up into a pre-biased output voltage. The waveforms were measured with a 5-A constant current load.

7.3.11 Pre-Biased Start-Up
The LMZ31710 has been designed to prevent the low-side MOSFET from discharging a pre-biased output.
During pre-biased startup, the low-side MOSFET does not turn on until the high-side MOSFET has started
switching. The high-side MOSFET does not start switching until the slow start voltage exceeds the voltage on the
VADJ pin. See Figure 25.
7.3.12 Remote Sense
The SENSE+ pin must be connected to VOUT at the load, or at the device pins.
Connecting the SENSE+ pin to VOUT at the load improves the load regulation performance of the device by
allowing it to compensate for any I-R voltage drop between its output pins and the load. An I-R drop is caused by
the high output current flowing through the small amount of pin and trace resistance. This must be limited to a
maximum of 300 mV.
NOTE
The remote sense feature is not designed to compensate for the forward drop of nonlinear
or frequency dependent components that can be placed in series with the converter
output. Examples include OR-ing diodes, filter inductors, ferrite beads, and fuses. When
these components are enclosed by the SENSE+ connection, they are effectively placed
inside the regulation control loop, which can adversely affect the stability of the regulator.
7.3.13 Thermal Shutdown
The internal thermal shutdown circuitry forces the device to stop switching if the junction temperature exceeds
175°C typically. The device reinitiates the power-up sequence when the junction temperature drops below 165°C
typically.
7.3.14 Output On/Off Inhibit (INH)
The INH pin provides electrical on/off control of the device. Once the INH pin voltage exceeds the threshold
voltage, the device starts operation. If the INH pin voltage is pulled below the threshold voltage, the regulator
stops switching and enters low quiescent current state. The INH pin has an internal pullup current source,
allowing the user to float the INH pin for enabling the device.
If an application requires controlling the INH pin, use an open-drain/collector device, or a suitable logic gate to
interface with the pin. Using a voltage supervisor to control the INH pin allows control of the turnon and turnoff of
the device as opposed to relying on the ramp up or down if the input voltage source.

Figure 26 shows the typical application of the inhibit function. Turning Q1 on applies a low voltage to the inhibit
control (INH) pin and disables the output of the supply, shown in Figure 27. If Q1 is turned off, the supply
executes a soft-start power-up sequence, as shown in Figure 28. A regulated output voltage is produced within
2 ms. The waveforms were measured with a 5-A constant current load.

7.3.15 Slow Start (SS/TR)
Connecting the STSEL pin to AGND and leaving SS/TR pin open enables the internal SS capacitor with a slow-
start interval of approximately 1.2 ms. Adding additional capacitance between the SS pin and AGND increases
the slow-start time. Increasing the slow-start time will reduce inrush current seen by the input source and reduce
the current seen by the device when charging the output capacitors. To avoid the activation of current limit and
ensure proper start-up, the SS capacitor may need to be increased when operating near the maximum output
capacitance limit.
Table 6 shows an additional SS capacitor connected to the SS/TR pin and the STSEL pin connected to AGND.

7.3.16 Overcurrent Protection
For protection against load faults, the LMZ31710 incorporates output overcurrent protection. The overcurrent
protection mode can be selected using the OCP_SEL pin. Leaving the OCP_SEL pin open selects hiccup mode
and connecting it to AGND selects cycle-by-cycle mode. In hiccup mode, applying a load that exceeds the
overcurrent threshold of the regulator causes the regulated output to shut down. Following shutdown, the module
periodically attempts to recover by initiating a soft-start power-up as shown in Figure 30. This is described as a
hiccup mode of operation, where the module continues in a cycle of successive shutdown and power-up until the
load fault is removed. During this period, the average current flowing into the fault is significantly reduced, which
reduces power dissipation. Once the fault is removed, the module automatically recovers and returns to normal
operation as shown in Figure 31.
In cycle-by-cycle mode, applying a load that exceeds the overcurrent threshold of the regulator limits the output
current and reduces the output voltage as shown in Figure 32. During this period, the current flowing into the
fault remains high, causing the power dissipation to stay high as well. Once the overcurrent condition is removed,
the output voltage returns to the set-point voltage as shown in Figure 33.

7.3.17 Synchronization (CLK)
An internal phase locked loop (PLL) has been implemented to allow synchronization between 200 kHz and
1200 kHz, and to easily switch from RT mode to CLK mode. To implement the synchronization feature, connect
a square wave clock signal to the RT/CLK pin with a duty cycle between 20% to 80%. The clock signal amplitude
must transition lower than 0.5 V and higher than 2 V. The start of the switching cycle is synchronized to the
falling edge of RT/CLK pin. In applications where both RT mode and CLK mode are needed, the device can be
configured as shown in Figure 34.
Before the external clock is present, the device works in RT mode and the switching frequency is set by RT
resistor. When the external clock is present, the CLK mode overrides the RT mode. The first time the CLK pin is
pulled above the RT/CLK high threshold (2 V), the device switches from RT mode to CLK mode and the RT/CLK
pin becomes high impedance as the PLL starts to lock onto the frequency of the external clock. It is not
recommended to switch from CLK mode back to RT mode because the internal switching frequency drops to
100 kHz first before returning to the switching frequency set by the RT resistor (RRT).
Figure 34. RT/CLK Configuration
The switching frequency must be selected based on the output voltages of the devices being synchronized.
Table 7 shows the allowable frequencies for a given range of output voltages. The allowable switching frequency
changes based on the maximum output current (IOUT) of an application. The table shows the VOUT range when
IOUT 10 A, 9 A, and 8 A. For the most efficient solution, always synchronize to the lowest allowable frequency.
For example, an application requires synchronizing three LMZ31710 devices with output voltages of 1.0 V, 1.2 V,
and 1.8 V, all powered from PVIN = 12 V. Table 7 shows that all three output voltages must be synchronized to
300 kHz.

7.3.18 Sequencing (SS/TR)
Many of the common power supply sequencing methods can be implemented using the SS/TR, INH, and
PWRGD pins. The sequential method is illustrated in Figure 35 using two LMZ31710 devices. The PWRGD pin
of the first device is coupled to the INH pin of the second device, which enables the second power supply once
the primary supply reaches regulation. Figure 36 shows sequential turnon waveforms of two LMZ31710 devices.
Figure 35. Sequencing Schematic Figure 36. Sequencing Waveforms
Simultaneous power supply sequencing can be implemented by connecting the resistor network of R1 and R2
shown in Figure 37 to the output of the power supply that needs to be tracked or to another voltage reference
source. The tracking voltage must exceed 750 mV before VOUT2 reaches its set-point voltage. The PWRGD
output of the VOUT2 device can remain low if the tracking voltage does not exceed 1.4 V. Figure 38 shows
simultaneous turnon waveforms of two LMZ31710 devices. Equation 3 and Equation 4 calculate the values of R1
and R2.

7.4.1 Programmable Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The LMZ31710 implements internal UVLO circuitry on the VIN pin. The device is disabled when the VIN pin
voltage falls below the internal VIN UVLO threshold. The internal VIN UVLO rising threshold is 4.5 V(max) with a
typical hysteresis of 150 mV.
If an application requires either a higher UVLO threshold on the VIN pin or a higher UVLO threshold for a
combined VIN and PVIN, then the UVLO pin can be configured as shown in Figure 39 or Figure 40.Table 8 lists

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 LMZ31710 power module is an easy-to-use integrated power solution that combines a 10-A DC/DC
converter with power MOSFETs, a shielded inductor, and passives into a low profile, QFN package. This total
power solution allows as few as three external components and eliminates the loop compensation and magnetics
part selection process.
8.2 Typical Application
A typical LMZ31710 application requires input and output capacitors, a voltage setting resistor, and a switching
frequency setting resistor. Figure 42 shows a typical LMZ31710 schematic with only the minimum required
components.

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 Setting The Output Voltage
The output voltage of the LMZ31710 is externally adjustable using a single resistor (RSET). Select the value of
RSET from Table 2 or calculate using Equation 5.
(5)
To set the output voltage to 1.2 V, the calculated value for RSET is 1.43 kΩ.
8.2.2.3 Setting the Switching Frequency
The recommended switching frequency for 1.2-V output voltage is 300 kHz. To set the switching frequency to
300 kHz, a 487-kΩRRT resistor is required. Refer to Table 2 for recommended switching frequencies for other
output voltages.
8.2.2.4 Input Capacitance
The minimum required input capacitance for the LMZ31710 is 44 µF of ceramic capacitance. However, adding a
0.1-µF ceramic capacitor placed directly at the input pins of the device will help with high frequency bypassing.
Additionally, adding a bulk input capacitor is helpful in applications with fast changing load current.
In this application, a combination of a 100-µF bulk capacitor, a 47-µF ceramic capacitor, and a 0.1-µF ceramic
capacitor was used.
8.2.2.5 Output Capacitance
The amount of required output capacitance depends on the output voltage setting, as shown in Table 3. For an
output voltage of 1.2 V, the required minimum output capacitance is 200 µF, with a requirement that at least
47 µF must be ceramic type.
In this application, a combination of a 200 µF of ceramic capacitance and a 220-µF bulk capacitor was used. The
additional 220-µF bulk capacitor will help in applications with fast changing load current.
8.3 Additional Application Schematics
Figure 43 and Figure 44 show additional typical schematics. Figure 43 shows a typical schematic for a 3.3-V
output while PVIN and VIN are tied to the same input voltage rail. Figure 44 shows a typical schematic for a
1.0 V output, however PVIN and VIN are powered from separate input voltage rails.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The LMZ31710 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 2.95 V and 17 V. This input
supply must be well-regulated and able to withstand maximum input current and maintain a stable voltage. The
resistance of the input supply rail must be low enough that an input current transient does not cause a high
enough drop at the supply voltage that can cause a false UVLO fault triggering and system reset.
If the input supply is located more than a few inches from the LMZ31710, additional bulk capacitance can be
required at the input pins. A typical recommended amount of bulk input capacitance is 47 μF - 100 μF.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Considerations
To achieve optimal electrical and thermal performance, an optimized PCB layout is required. Figure 45 through
Figure 48 shows a typical PCB layout. Some considerations for an optimized layout are:
Use large copper areas for power planes (PVIN, VOUT, and PGND) to minimize conduction loss and thermal
stress.
Place ceramic input and output capacitors close to the device pins to minimize high frequency noise.
Locate additional output capacitors between the ceramic capacitor and the load.
Keep AGND and PGND separate from one another.
Place RSET, RRT, and CSS as close as possible to their respective pins.
Use multiple vias to connect the power planes to internal layers.

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2) RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance
do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may
reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".
RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.
Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of <=1000ppm threshold. Antimony trioxide based
flame retardants must also meet the <=1000ppm threshold requirement.
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
(6) Lead finish/Ball material - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead finish/Ball material values may wrap to two
lines if the finish value exceeds the maximum column width.
