APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
THEORY OF OPERATION
The following operating description of the LMR10515 will refer to the Simplified Block Diagram Figure 20 and to
the waveforms in Figure 21. The LMR10515 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. ILis 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.
Figure 21. Typical Waveforms
SOFT-START
This function forces VOUT to increase at a controlled rate during start up. During soft-start, the error amplifier’s
reference voltage ramps from 0V to its nominal value of 0.6V in approximately 600 µs. This forces the regulator
output to ramp up in a controlled fashion, which helps reduce inrush current.
OUTPUT OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
The over-voltage 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.
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) prevents the LMR10515 from operating until the input voltage exceeds 2.73V
(typ). The UVLO threshold has approximately 430 mV of hysteresis, so the part will operate until VIN drops below
2.3V (typ). Hysteresis prevents the part from turning off during power up if VIN is non-monotonic.
CURRENT LIMIT
The LMR10515 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 2.5A (typ), and turns off the switch until the
next switching cycle begins.

THERMAL SHUTDOWN
Thermal shutdown limits total power dissipation by turning off the output switch when the IC junction temperature
exceeds 165°C. After thermal shutdown occurs, the output switch doesn’t turn on until the junction temperature
drops to approximately 150°C.
Figure 22. Typical Application Schematic
Design Guide
INDUCTOR SELECTION
The Duty Cycle (D) can be approximated quickly using the ratio of output voltage (VO) to input voltage (VIN):
The catch diode (D1) forward voltage drop and the voltage drop across the internal PMOS must be included to
calculate a more accurate duty cycle. Calculate D by using the following formula:
VSW can be approximated by:
VSW = IOUT x RDSON
The diode forward drop (VD) can range from 0.3V to 0.7V 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 (1.8A) 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 +ΔiL

ΔiL= 0.1 x (IOUT)0.2 x (IOUT)
If ΔiL= 20% of 1.50A, the peak current in the inductor will be 1.8A. The minimum specified current limit over all
operating conditions is 1.8A. One can either reduce ΔiL, or make the engineering judgment that zero margin will
be safe enough. The typical current limit is 2.5A.
The LMR10515 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:
where
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 1.0A
and the peak current is 1.25A, then the inductor should be specified with a saturation current limit of > 1.25A.
There is no need to specify the saturation or peak current of the inductor at the 2.5A typical switch current limit.
The difference in inductor size is a factor of 5. Because of the operating frequency of the LMR10515, ferrite
based inductors are preferred to minimize core losses. This presents little restriction since the variety of ferrite-
based inductors is huge. Lastly, inductors with lower series resistance (RDCR) will provide better operating
efficiency. For recommended inductors see Example Circuits.
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 ESL (Equivalent
Series Inductance). The recommended input capacitance is 22 µF.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:
Neglecting inductor ripple simplifies the above equation to:
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 LMR10515,
leaded capacitors may have an ESL so large that the resulting impedance (2πfL) 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.
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:

LMR10515
SNVS728C OCTOBER 2011REVISED APRIL 2013
www.ti.com
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 LMR10515, 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 µF 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.
CATCH DIODE
The catch diode (D1) conducts during the switch off-time. 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)
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.
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 VOand the FB pin. A good value for R2 is 10k. When designing a unity gain converter
(Vo = 0.6V), R1 should be between 0and 100, and R2 should be equal or greater than 10k.
VREF = 0.60V
PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
When planning layout there are a few things to consider when trying to achieve a clean, regulated output. The
most important consideration is the close coupling of the GND connections of the input capacitor and the catch
diode D1. These ground ends should be 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. The feedback resistors should be placed as close as possible to the IC, with
the GND of R1 placed as close as possible to the GND of the IC. The VOUT trace to R2 should be routed 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. Please see
Application Note AN-1229 for further considerations and the LMR10515 demo board as an example of a good
layout.

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):
VSW is the voltage drop across the internal PFET when it is on, and is equal to:
VSW = IOUT x RDSON
VDis 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:
The conduction losses in the free-wheeling Schottky diode are calculated as follows:
PDIODE = VDx IOUT x (1-D)
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.
Another significant external power loss is the conduction loss in the output inductor. The equation can be
simplified to:
PIND = IOUT2x RDCR
The LMR10515 conduction loss is mainly associated with the internal PFET:
If the inductor ripple current is fairly small, the conduction losses can be simplified to:
PCOND = IOUT2x RDSON x D
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.
Switching Power Loss is calculated as follows:
PSWR = 1/2(VIN x IOUT x FSW x TRISE)
PSWF = 1/2(VIN x IOUT x FSW x TFALL)
PSW = PSWR + PSWF
Another loss is the power required for operation of the internal circuitry:
PQ= IQx VIN
IQis the quiescent operating current, and is typically around 3.3 mA for the 1.6 MHz frequency option.
Typical Application power losses are:

Thermal Definitions
TJ= Chip junction temperature
TA= Ambient temperature
RθJC = Thermal resistance from chip junction to device case
RθJA = Thermal resistance from chip junction to ambient air
Heat in the LMR10515 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:
Thermal impedance from the silicon junction to the ambient air is defined as:
The PCB size, weight of copper used to route traces and ground plane, and number of layers within the PCB can
greatly effect RθJA. 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 if the
WSON package is used.
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.
RθJC is approximately 18°C/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:

RTJA=165°C - 140°C

RTJA=165° - Ta

LMR10515

SNVS728C OCTOBER 2011REVISED APRIL 2013
where TCis the temperature of the exposed pad and can be measured on the bottom side of the PCB.
Therefore:
Tj= (RθJC x PLOSS) + TC
From the previous example:
Tj= (RθJC x PINTERNAL) + TC
Tj= 18°C/W x 0.213W + TC
The second method can give a very accurate silicon junction temperature.
The first step is to determine RθJA of the application. The LMR10515 has over-temperature protection circuitry.
When the silicon temperature reaches 165°C, the device stops switching. The protection circuitry has a
hysteresis of about 15°C. Once the silicon temperature has decreased to approximately 150°C, the device will
start to switch again. Knowing this, the RθJA for any application can be characterized during the early stages of
the design one may calculate the RθJA 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 165°C. Knowing
the internal power dissipation from the above methods, the junction temperature, and the ambient temperature
RθJA can be determined.
Once this is determined, the maximum ambient temperature allowed for a desired junction temperature can be
found.
An example of calculating RθJA for an application using the LMR10515 is shown below.
A sample PCB is placed in an oven with no forced airflow. The ambient temperature was raised to 140°C, and at
that temperature, the device went into thermal shutdown.
From the previous example:
PINTERNAL = 213 mW
Since the junction temperature must be kept below 125°C, then the maximum ambient temperature can be
calculated as:
Tj- (RθJA x PLOSS) = TA
125°C - (117°C/W x 213 mW) = 100°C
WSON Package
Internal WSON Connection
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 RθJA for the application can be reduced.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) reserves the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other changes to its
semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest issue. Buyers
should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete.
TI’s published terms of sale for semiconductor products (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/stdterms.htm) apply to the sale of packaged integrated
circuit products that TI has qualified and released to market. Additional terms may apply to the use or sale of other types of TI products and
services.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is
accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such reproduced
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statements
different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the
associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers
remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have
full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products
used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with
respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous
consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and
take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will
thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.
TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,
including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to
assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any
way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource
solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.
TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI
products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,
enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically
described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.
Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that
include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE
TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF
PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,
DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory
requirements in connection with such selection.
Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
