It provides all the active functions to provide local DC/DC conversion with fast transient response and accurate regulation in the smallest possible PCB area. With a minimum of external components, the LMR10520 is easy to use. The ability to drive 2-A loads with an internal 150-m PMOS switch results in the best power density available. The world-class control circuitry allows ontimes as low as 30 ns, thus supporting exceptionally high frequency conversion over the entire 3-V to 5.5V input operating range down to the minimum output voltage of 0.6 V. The LMR10520 is internally compensated, so it is simple to use and requires few external components. Even though the operating frequency is high, efficiencies up to 93% are easy to achieve. External shutdown is included, featuring an ultra-low stand-by current of 30 nA. The LMR10520 uses current-mode control and internal compensation to provide high-performance regulation over a wide range of operating conditions. Additional features include internal soft-start circuitry to reduce inrush current, pulse-by-pulse current limit, thermal shutdown, and output overvoltage protection. 1 * * * * * * * * Input Voltage Range of 3 V to 5.5 V Output Voltage Range of 0.6 V to 4.5 V Output Current up to 2 A 1.6-MHz (LMR10520X) and 3-MHz (LMR10520Y) Switching Frequencies Low Shutdown IQ, 30 nA Typical Internal Soft Start Internally Compensated Current-Mode PWM Operation Thermal Shutdown Tiny Overall Solution Reduces System Cost WSON (3 x 3 x 0.8 mm) Packaging Create a custom design using the LMR10520 with the WEBENCH(R) Power Designer 2 Applications * * * * * * Point-of-Load Conversions from 3.3-V and 5-V Rails Space-Constrained Applications Battery-Powered Equipment Industrial Distributed Power Applications Power Meters Portable Hand-Held Instruments Device Information(1) PART NUMBER LMR10520 PACKAGE BODY SIZE (NOM) WSON (6) 3.00 mm x 3.00 mm (1) For all available packages, see the orderable addendum at the end of the data sheet.

The LMR10520 supplies a regulated output voltage by switching the internal PMOS control switch at constant frequency and variable duty cycle. A switching cycle begins at the falling edge of the reset pulse generated by the internal oscillator. When this pulse goes low, the output control logic turns on the internal PMOS control switch. During this on-time, the SW pin voltage (VSW) swings up to approximately VIN, and the inductor current (IL) increases with a linear slope. IL is measured by the current sense amplifier, which generates an output proportional to the switch current. The sense signal is summed with the regulator's corrective ramp and compared to the error amplifier's output, which is proportional to the difference between the feedback voltage and VREF. When the PWM comparator output goes high, the output switch turns off until the next switching cycle begins. During the switch off-time, inductor current discharges through the Schottky catch diode, which forces the SW pin to swing below ground by the forward voltage (VD) of the Schottky catch diode. The regulator loop adjusts the duty cycle (D) to maintain a constant output voltage. VSW D = TON/TSW VIN SW Voltage TOFF TON 0 VD t IL TSW IPK Inductor Current t 0 Figure 13.

During soft start, the error amplifier's reference voltage ramps from 0 V to its nominal value of 0.6 V in approximately 600 s. This forces the regulator output to ramp up in a controlled fashion, which helps reduce inrush current. 7.3.2 Output Overvoltage Protection The overvoltage comparator compares the FB pin voltage to a voltage that is 15% higher than the internal reference VREF. Once the FB pin voltage goes 15% above the internal reference, the internal PMOS control switch is turned off, which allows the output voltage to decrease toward regulation. 7.3.3 Undervoltage Lockout Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) prevents the LMR10520 from operating until the input voltage exceeds 2.73 V (typical). The UVLO threshold has approximately 430 mV of hysteresis, so the part will operate until VIN drops below 2.3 V (typical). Hysteresis prevents the part from turning off during power-up if VIN is non-monotonic. 7.3.4 Current Limit The LMR10520 uses cycle-by-cycle current limiting to protect the output switch. During each switching cycle, a current limit comparator detects if the output switch current exceeds 2.5 A (typical), and turns off the switch until the next switching cycle begins. 7.3.5 Thermal Shutdown Thermal shutdown limits total power dissipation by turning off the output switch when the IC junction temperature exceeds 165C. After thermal shutdown occurs, the output switch doesn't turn on until the junction temperature drops to approximately 150C. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2011-2019, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMR10520 LMR10520 www.ti.com SNVS730C - OCTOBER 2011 - REVISED JUNE 2019 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 LMR10520 is internally compensated, so it is simple to use and requires few external components. The regulator has a preset switching frequency of 1.6 MHz or 3 MHz. This high frequency allows the LMR10520 to operate with small surface mount capacitors and inductors, resulting in a DC/DC converter that requires a minimum amount of board space 8.2 Typical Application EN 3.3 PH (; YHUVLRQ) U1 R3 6 VIN 4, 5 2 EN SW 1.0 PH VINA/VIND GND VOUT L1 3 FB 1 1.8V R1 20k C3 22 PF C2 C1 2.2 PF R2 10k D1 2.2 PF GND C4 22 PF Chf 22 nF (opt.)

Calculate D by using the following formula: D= VOUT + VD VIN + VD - VSW (1) VSW can be approximated by: VSW = IOUT x RDSON (2) The diode forward drop (VD) can range from 0.3 V to 0.7 V depending on the quality of the diode. The lower the VD, the higher the operating efficiency of the converter. The inductor value determines the output ripple current. Lower inductor values decrease the size of the inductor, but increase the output ripple current. An increase in the inductor value will decrease the output ripple current. One must ensure that the minimum current limit (2.4A) is not exceeded, so the peak current in the inductor must be calculated. The peak current (ILPK) in the inductor is calculated by: ILPK = IOUT + iL (3) 'i L I OUT VIN - VOUT VOUT L L DTS t TS Figure 15. Inductor Current VIN - VOUT L = 2'iL DTS (4) In general, iL = 0.1 x (IOUT) 0.2 x (IOUT) (5) If iL = 20% of 2 A, the peak current in the inductor will be 2.4A. The minimum ensured current limit over all operating conditions is 2.4 A. One can either reduce iL, or make the engineering judgment that zero margin will be safe enough. The typical current limit is 3.25 A. The LMR10520 operates at frequencies allowing the use of ceramic output capacitors without compromising transient response. Ceramic capacitors allow higher inductor ripple without significantly increasing output ripple. See the Output Capacitor section for more details on calculating output voltage ripple. Now that the ripple current is determined, the inductance is calculated by: L= DTS x (VIN - VOUT) 2'iL where TS = 12 1 fS (7) Submit Documentation Feedback (7) Copyright (c) 2011-2019, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMR10520 LMR10520 www.ti.com SNVS730C - OCTOBER 2011 - REVISED JUNE 2019 Typical Application (continued) When selecting an inductor, make sure that it is capable of supporting the peak output current without saturating. Inductor saturation will result in a sudden reduction in inductance and prevent the regulator from operating correctly. Because of the speed of the internal current limit, the peak current of the inductor need only be specified for the required maximum output current. For example, if the designed maximum output current is 1 A, and the peak current is 1.25 A, then the inductor should be specified with a saturation current limit of > 1.25 A. There is no need to specify the saturation or peak current of the inductor at the 3.25 A typical switch current limit. The difference in inductor size is a factor of 5. Because of the operating frequency of the LMR10520, ferrite based inductors are preferred to minimize core losses. This presents little restriction since the variety of ferritebased inductors is huge. Lastly, inductors with lower series resistance (RDCR) will provide better operating efficiency. For recommended inductors, see Other System Examples. 8.2.1.3 Input Capacitor An input capacitor is necessary to ensure that VIN does not drop excessively during switching transients. The primary specifications of the input capacitor are capacitance, voltage, RMS current rating, and equivalent series inductance (ESL). The recommended input capacitance is 22 F. The input voltage rating is specifically stated by the capacitor manufacturer. Make sure to check any recommended deratings and also verify if there is any significant change in capacitance at the operating input voltage and the operating temperature. The input capacitor maximum RMS input current rating (IRMS-IN) must be greater than: IRMS_IN D IOUT2 (1-D) + 'i2 3 (8) Neglecting inductor ripple simplifies the above equation to: IRMS_IN = IOUT x D(1 - D) (9) It can be shown from the above equation that maximum RMS capacitor current occurs when D = 0.5. Always calculate the RMS at the point where the duty cycle D is closest to 0.5. The ESL of an input capacitor is usually determined by the effective cross sectional area of the current path. A large leaded capacitor will have high ESL and a 0805 ceramic chip capacitor will have very low ESL. At the operating frequencies of the LMR10520, leaded capacitors may have an ESL so large that the resulting impedance (2fL) will be higher than that required to provide stable operation. As a result, surface mount capacitors are strongly recommended. Sanyo POSCAP, Tantalum or Niobium, Panasonic SP, and multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) are all good choices for both input and output capacitors and have very low ESL. For MLCCs it is recommended to use X7R or X5R type capacitors due to their tolerance and temperature characteristics. Consult capacitor manufacturer datasheets to see how rated capacitance varies over operating conditions. 8.2.1.4 Output Capacitor The output capacitor is selected based upon the desired output ripple and transient response. The initial current of a load transient is provided mainly by the output capacitor. The output ripple of the converter is: 'VOUT = 'IL RESR + 1 8 x FSW x COUT (10) When using MLCCs, the ESR is typically so low that the capacitive ripple may dominate. When this occurs, the output ripple will be approximately sinusoidal and 90 phase shifted from the switching action. Given the availability and quality of MLCCs and the expected output voltage of designs using the LMR10520, there is really no need to review any other capacitor technologies. Another benefit of ceramic capacitors is their ability to bypass high frequency noise. A certain amount of switching edge noise will couple through parasitic capacitances in the inductor to the output. A ceramic capacitor will bypass this noise while a tantalum will not. Since the output capacitor is one of the two external components that control the stability of the regulator control loop, most applications will require a minimum of 22 F of output capacitance. Capacitance often, but not always, can be increased significantly with little detriment to the regulator stability. Like the input capacitor, recommended multilayer ceramic capacitors are X7R or X5R types.

A Schottky diode is recommended for its fast switching times and low forward voltage drop. The catch diode should be chosen so that its current rating is greater than: ID1 = IOUT x (1-D) (11) The reverse breakdown rating of the diode must be at least the maximum input voltage plus appropriate margin. To improve efficiency, choose a Schottky diode with a low forward voltage drop. 8.2.1.6 Output Voltage The output voltage is set using the following equation where R2 is connected between the FB pin and GND, and R1 is connected between VO and the FB pin. A good value for R2 is 10k. When designing a unity gain converter (Vo = 0.6V), R1 should be between 0 and 100, and R2 should be equal or greater than 10k. R1 = VOUT VREF - 1 x R2 (12) (13) VREF = 0.60V 8.2.1.7 Calculating Efficiency and Junction Temperature The complete LMR10520 DC/DC converter efficiency can be calculated in the following manner. K= POUT PIN (14) Or K= POUT POUT + PLOSS (15) Calculations for determining the most significant power losses are shown below. Other losses totaling less than 2% are not discussed. Power loss (PLOSS) is the sum of two basic types of losses in the converter: switching and conduction. Conduction losses usually dominate at higher output loads, whereas switching losses remain relatively fixed and dominate at lower output loads. The first step in determining the losses is to calculate the duty cycle (D): D= VOUT + VD VIN + VD - VSW (16) VSW is the voltage drop across the internal PFET when it is on, and is equal to: VSW = IOUT x RDSON (17) VD is the forward voltage drop across the Schottky catch diode. It can be obtained from the diode manufactures Electrical Characteristics section. If the voltage drop across the inductor (VDCR) is accounted for, the equation becomes: D= VOUT + VD + VDCR VIN + VD + VDCR - VSW (18) The conduction losses in the free-wheeling Schottky diode are calculated as follows: PDIODE = VD x IOUT x (1-D) (19) Often this is the single most significant power loss in the circuit. Care should be taken to choose a Schottky diode that has a low forward voltage drop. 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2011-2019, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMR10520 LMR10520 www.ti.com SNVS730C - OCTOBER 2011 - REVISED JUNE 2019 Typical Application (continued) Another significant external power loss is the conduction loss in the output inductor. The equation can be simplified to: PIND = IOUT2 x RDCR (20) The LMR10520 conduction loss is mainly associated with the internal PFET: PCOND = (IOUT2 'iL 1 x D) 1 + x 3 IOUT 2 RDSON (21) If the inductor ripple current is fairly small, the conduction losses can be simplified to: PCOND = IOUT2 x RDSON x D (22) Switching losses are also associated with the internal PFET. They occur during the switch on and off transition periods, where voltages and currents overlap resulting in power loss. The simplest means to determine this loss is to empirically measuring the rise and fall times (10% to 90%) of the switch at the switch node.

The most important consideration is the close coupling of the GND connections of the input capacitor and the catch diode D1. Place these ground ends close to one another and be connected to the GND plane with at least two through-holes. Place these components as close to the IC as possible. Next in importance is the location of the GND connection of the output capacitor, which should be near the GND connections of CIN and D1. There should be a continuous ground plane on the bottom layer of a two-layer board except under the switching node island. The FB pin is a high impedance node and care should be taken to make the FB trace short to avoid noise pickup and inaccurate regulation. Place the feedback resistors as close as possible to the IC, with the GND of R1 placed as close as possible to the GND of the IC. Route the VOUT trace to R2 away from the inductor and any other traces that are switching. High AC currents flow through the VIN, SW and VOUT traces, so they should be as short and wide as possible. However, making the traces wide increases radiated noise, so the designer must make this trade-off. Radiated noise can be decreased by choosing a shielded inductor. The remaining components should also be placed as close as possible to the IC. See Application Note AN-1229 for further considerations and the LMR10520 demo board as an example of a good layout. 9.2 Layout Example FB GND 6 EN 1 2 GND PLANE SW 3 5 VINA 4 VIND Figure 24. 6-Lead WSON PCB Dog-Bone Layout Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2011-2019, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMR10520 19 LMR10520 SNVS730C - OCTOBER 2011 - REVISED JUNE 2019 www.ti.com 9.3 Thermal Definitions TJ = Chip junction temperature TA = Ambient temperature RJC = Thermal resistance from chip junction to device case RJA = Thermal resistance from chip junction to ambient air Heat in the LMR10520 due to internal power dissipation is removed through conduction and/or convection. Conduction: Heat transfer occurs through cross sectional areas of material. Depending on the material, the transfer of heat can be considered to have poor to good thermal conductivity properties (insulator vs. conductor). Heat Transfer goes as: Silicon package lead frame PCB Convection: Heat transfer is by means of airflow. This could be from a fan or natural convection. Natural convection occurs when air currents rise from the hot device to cooler air. Thermal impedance is defined as: RT = 'T Power (30) Thermal impedance from the silicon junction to the ambient air is defined as: RTJA = TJ - TA Power (31) The PCB size, weight of copper used to route traces and ground plane, and number of layers within the PCB can greatly effect RJA. The type and number of thermal vias can also make a large difference in the thermal impedance. Thermal vias are necessary in most applications. They conduct heat from the surface of the PCB to the ground plane. Four to six thermal vias should be placed under the exposed pad to the ground plane. Thermal impedance also depends on the thermal properties of the application operating conditions (Vin, Vo, Io etc), and the surrounding circuitry. Silicon Junction Temperature Determination Method 1: To accurately measure the silicon temperature for a given application, two methods can be used. The first method requires the user to know the thermal impedance of the silicon junction to case temperature. RJC is approximately 18C/Watt for the 6-pin WSON package with the exposed pad. Knowing the internal dissipation from the efficiency calculation given previously, and the case temperature, which can be empirically measured on the bench we have: RTJC = TJ - TC Power where * TC is the temperature of the exposed pad and can be measured on the bottom side of the PCB. (32) Therefore: Tj = (RJC x PLOSS) + TC (33) From the previous example: Tj = (RJC x PINTERNAL) + TC Tj = 18C/W x 0.213W + TC (34) (35) The second method can give a very accurate silicon junction temperature. 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2011-2019, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LMR10520 LMR10520 www.ti.com SNVS730C - OCTOBER 2011 - REVISED JUNE 2019 Thermal Definitions (continued) The first step is to determine RJA of the application. The LMR10520 has over-temperature protection circuitry. When the silicon temperature reaches 165C, the device stops switching. The protection circuitry has a hysteresis of about 15C. Once the silicon temperature has decreased to approximately 150C, the device will start to switch again. Knowing this, the RJA for any application can be characterized during the early stages of the design one may calculate the RJA by placing the PCB circuit into a thermal chamber. Raise the ambient temperature in the given working application until the circuit enters thermal shutdown. If the SW-pin is monitored, it will be obvious when the internal PFET stops switching, indicating a junction temperature of 165C. Knowing the internal power dissipation from the above methods, the junction temperature, and the ambient temperature RJA can be determined. RTJA = 165 - Ta PINTERNAL (36) Once this is determined, the maximum ambient temperature allowed for a desired junction temperature can be found. An example of calculating RJA for an application using the LMR10520 is shown below. A sample PCB is placed in an oven with no forced airflow. The ambient temperature was raised to 120C, and at that temperature, the device went into thermal shutdown. From the previous example: PINTERNAL = 379 mW RTJA = (37) 165C - 120C = 119C/W 379 mW (38) Since the junction temperature must be kept below 125C, then the maximum ambient temperature can be calculated as: Tj - (RJA x PLOSS) = TA 125C - (119C/W x 379 mW) = 80C (39) (40) 9.4 WSON Package For certain high power applications, the PCB land may be modified to a "dog bone" shape (see Figure 24). By increasing the size of ground plane, and adding thermal vias, the RJA for the application can be reduced. Figure 25.
