Dgital-DC™ Controller with Drivers and POLA/DOSA Trim  
Description  
Features Power Conversion  
The ZL2005P is an innovative mixed-signal power  
conversion and management IC that combines a com-  
pact, efficient, synchronous DC-DC buck controller,  
adaptive drivers and key power and thermal manage-  
ment functions in one IC, providing flexibility and  
scalability while decreasing board space requirements  
and design complexity. Zilker Labs Digital-DC tech-  
nology enables a unique blend of performance and  
features not available in either traditional analog or  
newer digital approaches, resolving the issues associ-  
ated with providing multiple low-voltage power  
domains on a single PCB.  
Efficient synchronous buck controller  
3 V to 14 V input range  
0.54 V to 5.5 V output range (with margin)  
Optional output voltage setting with VADJ pin  
± 1% output accuracy  
Internal 3 A drivers support >40 A power stage  
Fast load transient response  
Phase interleaving  
RoHS compliant (6 x 6 mm) QFN package  
Power Management  
Digital soft start/stop  
Precision delay and ramp-up  
Voltage tracking, sequencing and margining  
Voltage/current/temperature monitoring  
I2C/SMBus communication  
Output overvoltage and overcurrent protection  
Internal non-voltatile memory (NVM)  
PMBus compliant  
The ZL2005P is designed to be configured either as a  
standard ZL2005 or as POLA/DOSA compatible  
device.  
All operating features can be configured by simple  
pin-strap selection, resistor selection or through the  
on-board serial port. The PMBus™-compliant  
ZL2005P uses the SMBus™ serial interface for com-  
munication with other Digital-DC products or a host  
controller.

ZL2005P Overview  
Zilker Labs provides a comprehensive set of on-line  
4.1 Digital-DC Architecture  
tools and application notes to assist with power supply  
design and simulation. An evaluation board is also  
available to help the user become familiar with the  
device. This board can be evaluated as a stand-alone  
platform using pin configuration settings. Addition-  
ally, a Windows™-based GUI is provided to enable  
full configuration and monitoring capability via the  
I2C/SMBus interface using an available computer and  
the included USB cable.  
The ZL2005P is an innovative mixed-signal power  
conversion and power management IC based on Zilker  
Labs’ patented Digital-DC technology that provides  
an integrated, high performance step-down converter  
for a wide variety of power supply applications. Its  
unique digital PWM loop utilizes an innovative  
mixed-signal topology to enable precise control of the  
power conversion process with no software required,  
resulting in a very flexible device that is also easy to  
use. An extensive set of power management functions  
is fully integrated and can be configured using simple  
pin connections or via the I2C/SMBus hardware inter-  
face using standard PMBus commands. The user con-  
figuration can be saved in an on-chip non-volatile  
memory (NVM), allowing ultimate flexibility.  
Please refer to www.intersil.com/zilkerlabs/ for access  
to the most up-to-date documentation and the Power-  
PilotTM simulation tool, or call your local Zilker Labs’  
sales office to order an evaluation kit.  
4.2 ZL2005 - ZL2005P  
By default, the ZL2005P is configured as a standard  
ZL2005 device.  
Once enabled, the ZL2005P is immediately ready to  
regulate power and perform power management tasks  
with no programming required. The ZL2005P can be  
configured by simply connecting its pins according to  
the tables provided in this document. Advanced con-  
figuration options and real-time configuration changes  
are available via the I2C/SMBus interface if desired,  
and continuous monitoring of multiple operating  
parameters is possible with minimal interaction from a  
host controller. Integrated sub-regulation circuitry  
enables single supply operation from any supply  
between 3V and 14V with no secondary bias supplies  
needed.  
The main differences between the ZL2005P config-  
ured as a ZL2005P and the initial ZL2005 are the fol-  
lowing:  
TACH pin is not used (reserved for ZL2005P

Figure 5. ZL2005P Detailed Block Diagram  
The ZL2005P operates as a voltage-mode, synchro-  
nous buck converter with a selectable, constant fre-  
quency Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) control  
scheme that uses external MOSFETs, inductor and  
capacitors to perform power conversion.  
QH is on as a fraction of the total switching period is  
known as the duty cycle D, which is described by the  
following equation:

Figure 6 illustrates the basic synchronous buck con-  
verter topology showing the primary power train com-  
ponents. This converter is also called a step-down  
converter, as the output voltage must always be lower  
than the input voltage.  
During time D, QH is on and VIN –VOUT is applied  
across the inductor. The current ramps up as shown in  
Figure 7.

When QH turns off (time 1-D), the current flowing in  
high-side and low-side MOSFETs to optimize the  
overall efficiency of the power supply.  
the inductor must continue to flow from the ground up  
through QL, during which the current ramps down.  
Since the output capacitor COUT exhibits a low imped-  
ance at the switching frequency, the AC component of  
the inductor current is filtered from the output voltage  
so the load sees nearly a DC voltage.  
4.4 Power Management Overview  
The ZL2005P incorporates a wide range of configu-  
rable power management features that are simple to  
implement with no external components. Addition-  
ally, the ZL2005P includes circuit protection features  
that continuously safeguard the load from damage due  
to unexpected system faults. The ZL2005P can contin-  
uously monitor input voltage, output voltage/current,  
internal temperature, and the temperature of an exter-  
nal thermal diode. A Power Good output signal is pro-  
vided to enable power-on reset functionality for an  
external processor.  
Typically, buck converters specify a maximum duty  
cycle that effectively limits the maximum output volt-  
age that can be realized for a given input voltage. This  
duty cycle limit ensures that the low-side MOSFET is  
allowed to turn on for a minimum amount of time dur-  
ing each switching cycle, which enables the bootstrap  
capacitor (CB in Figure 6) to be charged up and pro-  
vide adequate gate drive voltage for the high-side  
MOSFET. See Section 5.2, “High-side Driver Boost  
Circuit,” for more details.  
All power management functions can be configured  
using either simple pin configuration techniques (Fig-  
ure 8) or via the I2C/SMBus interface. Monitoring  
parameters can be pre-configured to provide alerts for  
specific conditions. See Application Note AN2013 for  
more details on SMBus monitoring.  
In general, the size of components L1 and COUT as  
well as the overall efficiency of the circuit are  
inversely proportional to the switching frequency, fSW  
.
Therefore, the highest efficiency circuit may be real-  
ized by switching the MOSFETs at the lowest possible  
frequency; however, this will result in the largest com-  
ponent size. Conversely, the smallest possible foot-  
print may be realized by switching at the fastest  
possible frequency but this gives a somewhat lower  
efficiency. Each user should determine the optimal  
combination of size and efficiency when determining  
the switching frequency for each application.  
4.5 Multi-mode Pins  
In order to simplify circuit design, the ZL2005P incor-  
porates patented multi-mode pins that allow the user to  
easily configure many aspects of the device without  
requiring the user to program the IC. For the ZL2005P  
only a few of the power management features can be  
configured using these pins. The multi-mode pins can  
respond to four different connections as shown in  
Table 5. Any combination of connections is allowed  
among the multi-mode pins. These pins are sampled  
when power is applied or by issuing a PMBus Restore  
command (See Application Note AN2013).  
The block diagram for the ZL2005P is illustrated in  
Figure 5. In this circuit, the target output voltage is  
regulated by connecting the VSEN pin directly to the  
output regulation point. The VSEN signal is then com-  
pared to a reference voltage that has been set to the  
desired output voltage level by the user. The error sig-  
nal derived from this comparison is converted to a dig-  
ital value with a low-resolution analog to digital (A/D)  
converter. The digital signal is applied to an adjustable  
digital compensation filter, and the compensated sig-  
nal is used to derive the appropriate PWM duty cycle  
for driving the external MOSFETs in a way that pro-  
duces the desired output.

The ZL2005P also incorporates a non-linear response  
(NLR) loop to reduce the response time and output  
deviation in response to a load transient. The ZL2005P  
has an efficiency optimization circuit that continu-  
ously monitors the power converter’s operating condi-  
tions and adjusts the turn-on and turn-off timing of the

Resistor Settings: This method allows a greater range  
of adjustability when connecting a finite valued resis-  
tor (in a specified range) between the multi-mode pin  
and SGND. Standard 1% resistor values are used, and  
only every fourth E96 resistor value is used so that the  
device can reliably recognize the value of resistance  
connected to the pin while eliminating the errors asso-  
ciated with the resistor accuracy. A total of 25 unique  
selections are available using a single resistor.

Examples  
I2C/SMBus Settings: Almost any ZL2005P function  
can be configured via the I2C/SMBus interface using  
standard PMBus commands. Additionally, any value  
that has been configured using the pin-strap or resistor  
setting methods can also be re-configured and/or veri-  
fied via the I2C/SMBus. See Application Note  
AN2013 for details.  
Pin-strap Settings: This is the simplest implementa-  
tion method, as no external components are required.  
Using this method, each pin can take on one of three  
possible states: GND, OPEN, or HIGH. These pins  
can be connected to the VR or V25 pins for logic  
HIGH settings, as either pin provides a regulated volt-  
age greater than 2V. Using a single pin, the user can  
select one of three settings, and using two pins, the  
user can select one of nine settings.  
The SMBus device address and VOUT_MAX are the  
only parameters that must be set by external pins. All  
other device parameters can be set via the I2C/SMBus.  
the device address is set using the SA0 and SA1 pins.  
The VOUT_MAX is determined as 10% greater than  
the voltage set by the V0/V1 pins or VADJ pin.

Power Conversion Functional Description  
5.1 Internal Bias Regulators and Input  
Supply Connections  
5.2 High-side Driver Boost Circuit  
The gate drive voltage for the upper MOSFET driver  
is generated by a floating bootstrap capacitor, CB (see  
Figure 3). When the lower MOSFET (QL) is turned  
on, the SW node is pulled to ground and the capacitor  
is charged from the internal VR bias regulator through  
diode DB. When QL turns off and the upper MOSFET  
(QH) turns on, the SW node is pulled up to VDD and  
the voltage on the BST pin is boosted approximately  
5V above VIN to provide the necessary voltage for the  
high-side driver. A Schottky diode should be used for  
DB to maximize the high-side drive voltage.  
The ZL2005P employs two internal low dropout  
(LDO) regulators to supply bias voltages for internal  
circuitry, allowing it to operate from a single input  
supply. The internal bias regulators are as follows:  
VR: The VR LDO provides a regulated 5V bias supply  
for the MOSFET driver circuits. It is powered  
from the VDD pin and can supply up to 100 mA  
output current. A 4.7 µF filter capacitor is  
required at the VR pin.  
V25: The V25 LDO provides a regulated 2.5V bias  
supply for the main controller circuitry. It is  
powered from an internal 5V node and can sup-  
ply up to 50 mA output current. A 10 µF filter  
capacitor is required at the V25 pin.  
5.3 Output Voltage Selection  
Standard Mode (ZL2005)  
The output voltage may be set to any voltage between  
0.6V and 5.0V provided that the input voltage is  
higher than the desired output voltage by an amount  
sufficient to prevent the device from exceeding its  
maximum duty cycle specification. By connecting the  
V0 and V1 pins to logic high, logic low, or leaving  
them floating, VOUT can be set to any of nine standard  
voltages as shown in Table 6.  
Note: The internal bias regulators are designed for  
powering internal circuitry only. Do not attach exter-  
nal loads to any of these pins. The multi-mode pins  
may be connected to the VR or V25 pins for logic  
HIGH settings.  
When the input supply (VDD) is higher than 5.5V, the  
VR pin should not be connected to any other pin. It  
should only have a filter capacitor attached as shown  
in Figure 9. Due to the dropout voltage associated with  
the VR bias regulator, the VDD pin must be connected  
to the VR pin for designs operating from a VDD sup-  
ply from 3.0V to 5.5V. Figure 9 illustrates the required  
connections for both cases. For input supplies between  
4.5V and 5.5V, either method can be used.

If an output voltage other than those in Table 6 is  
desired, the resistor setting method can be used. Using  
this method, resistors R0 and R1 are selected to pro-  
duce a specific voltage between 0.6V and 5.0V in 10  
mV steps. Resistor R1 provides a coarse setting and  
R0 a fine adjustment, thus eliminating the additional  
errors associated with using two 1% resistors in a stan-  
dard analog implementation (this typically adds 1.4%  
error using two 1% resistors).  
To set VOUT using resistors, follow the steps below to  
calculate an index value and then use Table 7 to select  
the resistor that corresponds to the calculated index  
value as follows:

1. Calculate Index1:  
Index1 = 4 x VOUT  
2. Round the result down to the nearest whole num-  
ber.  
3. Select the value for R1 from Table 7 using the  
Index1 rounded value from step 2.  
4. Calculate Index0 using equation  
Index0 = 100 x VOUT - 25 x Index1...  
5. Select the value for R0 from Table 7 using Index0  
from step 4.

The output voltage may also be set to any value  
between 0.6V and 5.0V using the I2C/SMBus inter-  
face. The maximum voltage that can be set is limited  
to 110% of the pin-strap value. See Application Note  
AN2013 for details.

For a module supplier, a 1.5 kΩ 1% pull-up resistor  
from EN to UVLO is required to be compatible with  
the POLA Inhibit/UVLO features (Figure 12). EN  
must be driven by an open collector/drain driver, and  
will default to Enabled unless pulled low. The driver  
must remain open after a transition for a minimum of 1  
ms to allow the measurement of the resistor on the  
UVLO pin.

To stay compatible with existing methods for adjusting  
output voltage, the module manufacturer can add a 10  
kΩ resistor on the module.  
RVADJ = RSET +10 kΩ  
By adding this additional resistor, the resistor values  
shown in Table 8 can be used to set the output voltage  
of a ZL2005P module. These values are close to the  
analog POLA values and are compatible with the pin-  
strap resistor detection methodology of the ZL2005P.

When POLA_VADJ_CONFIG is set to mode 2, the  
ZL2005P uses the VADJ pin for output voltage setting  
and it also disables the SYNC pin. In this mode, the  
ZL2005P is not checking the SYNC pin for synchroni-  
zation to an external signal. Otherwise the resistor  
measurement may not be accurate. This configuration  
allows a module supplier to connect both VADJ and  
SYNC pin to a common pin on the module (Flex pin).  
A single module pin can then be used for one or the  
other function.

Once this process is completed, the device is ready to

accept commands via the I2C/SMBus interface and the  
device is ready to be enabled. Once enabled, the  
device requires approximately 6 ms before its output  
voltage may be allowed to start its ramp-up process. If  
a soft start delay period less than 6 ms has been con-  
figured (using the DLY (0,1) pins), the device will  
default to a 6 ms delay period. If a delay period of 6  
ms or higher is configured, the device will wait for the  
configured delay period before starting to ramp its out-  
put.  
The ZL2005P follows a specific internal start-up pro-  
cedure after power is applied to the VDD pin. Table 11  
describes the start-up sequence.  
If the device is to be synchronized to an external clock  
source, the clock must be stable prior to asserting the  
EN pin. The device requires approximately 10-20 ms  
to check for specific values stored in its internal mem-  
ory.  
After the delay period has expired, the output will  
begin to ramp towards its target voltage according to  
the pre-configured soft-start ramp time.  
If the user has stored values in memory, those values  
will be loaded. The device will then check the status of  
all multi-mode pins and load the values associated  
with the pin settings.

In some system applications, it may be necessary to set  
a delay from when an enable signal is received until  
the output voltage starts to ramp to its nominal value.  
In addition, the designer may wish to precisely set the  
time required for VOUT to ramp to its nominal value  
after the delay period has expired. The ZL2005P gives  
the system designer several options for precisely and  
independently controlling both the delay and ramp  
time periods for VOUT. These features may be used as  
part of an overall in-rush current management strategy  
or to precisely control how fast a load IC is turned on.

NOTE:  
1. When the soft start ramp is set to zero, the device will ramp up as  
quickly as the internal circuitry and output load capacitance will  
allow.  
If the desired soft start delay and ramp times are not  
one of the values listed in Table 11 and Table 12, the  
times can be set to a custom value by connecting a  
resistor from the DLY0 or SS0 pin to SGND using the  
appropriate resistor value from Table 14. The value of  
this resistor is measured upon start-up or Restore and  
will not change if this resistor is varied after power has  
been applied to the ZL2005. See Figure 15 for typical  
connections using resistors.  
The soft start delay period begins when the Enable pin  
is asserted and ends when the delay time expires. The  
soft-start delay period is set via the I2C/SMBus inter-  
face.The soft start ramp enables a controlled ramp to  
the nominal VOUT value that begins once the delay  
period has timed out. The ramp-up is guaranteed  
monotonic and its slope may be precisely set by set-  
ting the soft-start ramp time using the SS (0,1) pins.  
Note: Do not connect a resistor to the DLY1 or SS1  
pin. These pins are not utilized for setting soft-start  
delay and ramp times. Connecting an external resistor  
to these pins may cause conflicts with other device set-  
tings.  
The soft start delay and ramp times can be set to stan-  
dard values according to Table 12 and Table 13  
respectively.

conditions within the ZL2005P for asserting PG are  
met to when the PG pin is actually asserted. This fea-  
ture is commonly used instead of using an external

default, the ZL2005P 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 I2C/SMBus as described in

5.7 Switching Frequency and PLL  
The ZL2005P incorporates an internal phase locked  
loop (PLL) to clock the internal circuitry. The PLL can  
be driven by an internal oscillator or driven from an  
external clock source connected to the SYNC pin.  
When using the internal oscillator, the SYNC pin can  
be configured as a clock output for use by other  
devices. The SYNC pin is a unique pin that can per-  
form multiple functions depending on how it is config-  
ured. The CFG pin is used to select the operating mode  
of the SYNC pin as shown in Table 15. Figure 16  
illustrates the typical connections for each mode.  
The soft start delay and ramp period can be set to cus-  
tom values via the I2C/SMBus interface. When the  
soft start delay is set to 0 ms, the device will begin its  
ramp up after the internal circuitry has initialized  
(approx. 6ms).

Table 15. SYNC Pin Function Selection  
The ZL2005P provides a Power Good (PG) signal that  
indicates the output voltage is within a specified toler-  
ance of its target level and no fault condition exists. By  
default, the PG pin will assert if the output is within -  
10% to +15% of the target voltage These limits may  
be changed via the I2C/SMBus interface. See Applica-  
tion Note AN2013 for details.

Figure 16. SYNC Pin Configurations  
Configuration A: SYNC OUTPUT  
Configuration C: SYNC AUTO DETECT  
When the SYNC pin is configured as an output (CFG  
pin is tied HIGH), the device will operate from its  
internal oscillator and will drive the resulting internal  
oscillator signal (preset to 400 kHz) onto the SYNC  
pin so other devices can be synchronized to it. The  
SYNC pin will not be checked for an incoming clock  
signal while in this configuration.  
When the SYNC pin is configured in auto detect mode  
(CFG pin is left OPEN), the device will automatically  
check for a clock signal on the SYNC pin after enable  
is asserted.  
If a clock signal is present, The ZL2005P’s oscillator  
will then synchronize the rising edge of the external  
clock. Refer to SYNC INPUT description.  
Configuration B: SYNC INPUT  
If no incoming clock signal is present, the ZL2005P  
will configure the switching frequency according to  
the state of the SYNC pin as listed in Table 16. In this  
mode, the ZL2005P will only read the SYNC pin con-  
nection during the start-up sequence. Changes to  
SYNC pin connections will not affect fSW until the  
power (VDD) is cycled off and on.  
When the SYNC pin is configured as an input (CFG  
pin is tied LOW), the device will automatically check  
for a clock signal on the SYNC pin each time EN is  
asserted. The ZL2005P’s oscillator will then synchro-  
nize with the rising edge of external clock.  
The incoming clock signal must be in the range of 200  
kHz to 1.4 MHz and must be stable when the enable  
pin is asserted. The clock signal must also exhibit the  
necessary performance requirements (see Table 3). In  
the event of a loss of the external clock signal, the out-  
put voltage may show transient over/undershoot.

If multiple ZL2005Ps are used together, connecting  
the SYNC pins together will force all devices to syn-  
chronize to one another. The CFG pin of one device  
must have its SYNC pin set as an output and the  
remaining devices must have their SYNC pins set as  
an input or all devices must be driven by the same  
external clock source.  
Design Trade-offs  
The design of a switching regulator power stage  
requires the user to consider trade-offs between cost,  
size and performance. For example, size can be opti-  
mized at the expense of efficiency. Additionally, cost  
can be optimized at the expense of size. For a detailed  
description of circuit trade-offs, refer to Application  
Note AN2011.  
Note: The switching frequency read back using the  
appropriate PMBus command will differ slightly from  
the selected value in Table 17. The difference is due to  
hardware quantization.  
To start a design, select a switching frequency (fSW  
based on Table 19. This frequency is a starting point  
and may be adjusted as the design progresses.

The ZL2005P is a synchronous buck controller that  
uses external MOSFETs, inductor and capacitors to  
perform the power conversion process. The proper  
selection of the external components is critical for  
optimized performance. Zilker Labs offers an online

Inductor Selection  
The output inductor selection process will include sev-  
eral trade-offs. A high inductance value will result in a  
low ripple current (Iopp), which will reduce the output  
capacitance requirement and produce a low output rip-  
ple voltage, but may also compromise output transient  
load performance. Therefore, a balance must be

sient performance. A good starting point is to select  
the output inductor ripple current (Iopp) equal to the  
expected load transient step magnitude (Iostep):  
Output Capacitor Selection  
Several trade-offs also must be considered when  
selecting an output capacitor. Low ESR values are  
needed to have a small output deviation during tran-  
sient load steps (Vosag) and low output voltage ripple  
(Vorip). However, capacitors with low ESR, such as  
semi-stable (X5R and X7R) dielectric ceramic capaci-  
tors, also have relatively low capacitance values.  
Many designs can use a combination of high capaci-  
tance devices and low ESR devices in parallel.

may have currents greater than 2X the normal maxi-  
mum rated output current. It is desirable to use an  
inductor that is not saturated at these conditions to pro-  
tect the load and the power supply MOSFETs from  
damaging currents.

Use these values to make an initial capacitor selection,  
using a single capacitor or several capacitors in paral-  
lel.  
Once an inductor is selected, the DCR and core losses  
in the inductor are calculated. Use the DCR specified  
in the inductor manufacturer’s datasheet.  
After a capacitor has been selected, the resulting out-  
put voltage ripple can be calculated using the follow-

turer, refer to the chosen inductor’s datasheet. Add the

Input Capacitor  
Calculate the desired maximum RDS(ON) as follows:  
It is highly recommended that dedicated input  
capacitors be used in any point-of-load design, even  
when the supply is powered from a heavily filtered 5  
or 12 V “bulk” supply. This is because of the high  
RMS ripple current that is drawn by the buck  
converter topology. This input ripple (ICINrms) can be  
determined from the following equation:  
2
(14)  
R
DS(ON) = PQL/Ibotrms  
Note that the RDS(ON) given in the manufacturer’s  
datasheet is measured at 25°C. The actual RDS(ON) in  
the end-use application will be much higher. For  
example, a Vishay Si7114 MOSFET with a junction  
temperature of 125°C has an RDS(ON) 1.4 times higher  
than the value at 25°C.  
(11)  
ICINrms = IOUT × D×  
(
1D  
)
Select a candidate MOSFET, and calculate the  
required gate drive current as follows:  
Please refer to Application Note AN2011 for detailed  
derivation including efficiency and ripple current.  
(15)  
Ig = fsw ×Qg  
Keep in mind that the total allowed gate drive current  
for both QH and QL is 80 mA.  
Without capacitive filtering near the power supply  
input circuit, this current would flow through the sup-  
ply bus and return planes, coupling noise into other  
system circuitry. The input capacitors should be rated  
at 1.2X the ripple current calculated above to avoid  
overheating of the capacitors due to the high ripple  
current, which can cause premature failure. Ceramic  
capacitors with X7R or X5R dielectric with low ESR  
and 1.1X the maximum expected input voltage are rec-  
ommended.  
MOSFETs with lower RDS(ON) tend to have higher  
gate charge requirements, which increases the current  
and resulting power required to turn them on and off.  
Since the MOSFET gate drive circuits are integrated  
in the ZL2005P, this power is dissipated in the  
ZL2005P according to the following equation:  
P
= fsw ×Qg ×VINM  
(16)  
QL  
Bootstrap Circuit Component Selection  
QH Selection  
The high-side driver boost circuit utilizes an external  
Schottky diode (DB) and an external bootstrap capaci-  
tor (CB) to supply sufficient gate drive for the high-  
side MOSFET driver. DB should be a 20 mA, 30 V  
Schottky diode or equivalent device and CB should be  
a 1 µF ceramic type rated for at least 6.3V.  
In addition to the RDS(ON) loss and gate charge loss,  
QH also has switching loss. The procedure to select  
QH is similar to the procedure for QL. First, assign 2–  
5% of the output power to be dissipated in the RDS(ON)  
of QH using the equation for QL above. As was done  
with QL, calculate the RMS current as follows:  
QL Selection  
The bottom MOSFET should be selected primarily  
based on the device’s RDS(ON) and secondarily based  
on its gate charge. To choose QL, use the following  
equation and allow 2–5% of the output power to be  
dissipated in the RDS(ON) of QL (lower output voltages  
and higher step-down ratios will be closer to 5%):  
Itoprms = ILrms × D  
(17)  
Calculate a starting RDS(ON) as follows, in this exam-  
ple using 5%:  
PQH = 0 .05 × V OUT × I OUT  
(18)  
(12)  
PQL = 0 .05 × V OUT × I OUT  
2
Calculate the RMS current in QL as follows:  
R
DS(ON) = PQH / Itoprms  
(19)  
Ibotrms = ILrms × 1D  
(13)  
Select a MOSFET and calculate the resulting gate  
drive current. Verify that the combined gate drive cur-  
rent from QL and QH does not exceed 80 mA.

R1 should be in the range of 500 Ω to 5 kΩ in order to  
minimize the power dissipation through it. The user  
should make sure the resistor package size is appropri-  
ate for the power dissipated. Once R1 has been calcu-  
lated, the value of R2 should be selected based on the  
following equation:

MOSFET Thermal Check  
If RDS(ON) is being used the external low side MOS-  
FET will act as the sensing element as indicated in  
Figure 18.  
Once the power dissipations for QH and QL have been  
calculated, the MOSFET’s junction temperature can  
be estimated. Using the junction-to-case thermal resis-  
tance (Rth) given in the MOSFET manufacturer’s data-  
sheet and the expected maximum printed circuit board  
temperature, calculate the junction temperature as fol-  
lows:  
5.9 Current Limit Threshold Selection  
It is recommended that the user include a current limit-  
ing mechanism in their design to protect the power  
supply from damage and prevent excessive current  
from being drawn from the input supply in the event  
that the output is shorted to ground or an overload con-  
dition is imposed on the output. Current limiting is  
accomplished by sensing the current flowing through  
the circuit during a portion of the duty cycle.

Current Sensing Components  
Once the current sense method has been selected  
(Refer to Section 5.9, “Current Limit Threshold Selec-  
tion,” ), the procedure to select the component is the  
following:  
Output current sensing can be accomplished by mea-  
suring the voltage across a series resistive sensing ele-  
ment according to equation 26.  
When using the inductor DCR sensing method, the  
user must also select an R/C network comprised of R1  
and CL (see Figure 17).

put current.

ZL2005P  
The ZL2005P supports “lossless” current sensing, by  
The current sensing method can be selected using the  
ILIM1 pin using Table 20. The ILIM0 pin must have a  
finite resistor connected to ground in order for  
Table 20 to be valid. If no resistor is connected  
between ILIM0 and ground, the default method is  
MOSFET RDS(ON) sensing. The current sensing  
method can be modified via the I2C/SMBus interface.  
Please refer to Application note AN2013 for details.  
measuring the voltage across a resistive element that is  
already present in the circuit. This eliminates addi-  
tional efficiency losses incurred by devices that must  
use an additional series resistance in the circuit.  
To set the current limit threshold, the user must first  
select a current sensing method. The ZL2005P incor-  
porates two methods for current sensing, synchronous  
MOSFET RDS(ON) sensing and inductor DC resistance  
(DCR) sensing; Figure 18 shows a simplified sche-  
matic for each method.  
In addition to selecting the current sensing method, the  
ZL2005P gives the power supply designer several  
choices for the fault response during over or under  
current condition. The user can select the number of  
violations allowed before declaring fault, a blanking  
time and the action taken when a fault is detected.

The blanking time represents the time when no current

Once the sensing method has been selected, the user  
must select the voltage threshold (VLIM) based on

the resistance of the sensing element.  
The current limit threshold can be selected by simply

In the ZL2005P, the compensation zeros are set by  
configuring the FC0 pin or via the I2C/SMBus inter-  
face once the user has calculated the required settings.  
Most applications can be served by using the pin-strap  
compensation settings listed in Table 24. These set-  
tings will yield a conservative crossover frequency.  
The parameters of the feedback compensation can also  
be set using the I2C/SMBus interface. A sofware  
(CompZLTM) is also available from Zilker Labs to cal-  
culate automatically the compensation parameters.  
The current limit threshold can be set via the I2C/

Description  
High Q, Low Bandwidth  
Real zeros, High Bandwidth  
Low Q, Low Bandwidth  
The ZL2005P operates as a voltage-mode synchro-  
nous buck controller with a fixed frequency PWM  
scheme. Although the ZL2005P uses a digital control  
loop, it operates much like a traditional analog PWM  
controller. See Figure 19 for a simplified block dia-  
gram of the ZL2005P control loop, which differs from  
an analog control loop by the constants in the PWM  
and compensation blocks. As in the analog controller  
case, the compensation block compares the output  
voltage to the desired voltage reference and compen-  
sation zeros are added to keep the loop stable. The  
resulting integrated error signal is used to drive the  
PWM logic, converting the error signal into a duty  
cycle value to drive the external MOSFETs.  
5.11 Non-Linear Response Settings  
The ZL2005P incorporates a non-linear response  
(NLR) loop that decreases the response time and the  
output voltage deviation in the event of a sudden out-  
put load current step. The NLR loop incorporates a  
secondary error signal processing path that bypasses  
the primary error loop when the output begins to tran-  
sition outside of the standard regulation limits. This  
scheme results in a higher equivalent loop bandwidth  
than is possible using a traditional linear loop.  
When a load current step function imposed on the out-  
put causes the output voltage to drop below the lower  
regulation limit, the NLR circuitry will force a positive  
correction signal that will turn on the upper MOSFET  
and quickly force the output to increase. A negative  
load step will cause the NLR circuitry to force a nega-  
FN6849.3

ZL2005P  
tive correction signal that will turn on the lower MOS-  
FET and quickly force the output to decrease.  
It is therefore advantageous to minimize this dead-  
time to provide optimum circuit efficiency. In the first  
order model of a buck converter, the duty cycle is  
determined by the equation:  
5.12 Efficiency Optimized Driver Dead-  
time Control  
D = VOUT/VIN -------------------- (29)  
However, non-idealities exist that cause the real duty  
cycle to extend beyond the ideal. Deadtime is one of  
those non-idealities that can be manipulated to  
improve efficiency. The ZL2005P has an internal algo-  
rithm that constantly adjusts deadtime non-overlap to  
minimize duty cycle, thus maximizing efficiency. This  
circuit will null out deadtime differences due to com-  
ponent variation, temperature and loading effects.  
The ZL2005P utilizes a closed loop algorithm to opti-  
mize the dead-time applied between the gate drive sig-  
nals for the top and bottom FETs. In a synchronous  
buck converter, the MOSFET drive circuitry must be  
designed such that the top and bottom MOSFETs are  
never in the conducting state at the same time. (Poten-  
tially damaging currents flow in the circuit if both top  
and bottom MOSFETs are simultaneously on for peri-  
ods of time exceeding a few nanoseconds.) Con-  
versely, long periods of time in which both MOSFETs  
are off reduce overall circuit efficiency by allowing  
current to flow in their parasitic body diodes.  
This algorithm is independent of application circuit  
parameters such as MOSFET type, gate driver delays,  
rise and fall times and circuit layout. In addition, it  
does not require drive or MOSFET voltage or current  
waveform measurements.

3. Initiate an immediate shutdown until the fault has  
been cleared. The user can select a specific num-  
ber of retry attempts.  
The input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) prevents the  
ZL2005P from operating when the input falls below a  
preset threshold, indicating the input supply is out of its  
specified range. The UVLO threshold (VUVLO) can be  
set between 2.85 V and 16 V using the UVLO pin. The  
simplest implementation is to connect the UVLO pin as  
shown in Table 25. If the UVLO pin is left uncon-  
nected, the UVLO threshold will default to 4.5 V.  
The default response from a UVLO fault is an imme-  
diate shutdown of the device. The device will continu-  
ously check for the presence of the fault condition. If  
the fault condition is no longer present, the ZL2005P  
will be re-enabled.

The ZL2005P offers an internal output overvoltage  
protection circuit that can be used to protect sensitive  
load circuitry from being subjected to a voltage higher  
than its prescribed limits. This feature is especially  
useful in protecting expensive processors, FPGAs, and  
ASICs from excessive voltages.  
If the desired UVLO threshold is not one of the listed  
choices, the user can configure a threshold between  
2.85 V and 16 V by connecting a resistor between the  
UVLO pin and GND by selecting the appropriate  
resistor from Table 26.

output voltage (seen at the VSEN pin) to a threshold set

If the pre-bias voltage is higher than the target voltage  
6.3 Output Pre-Bias Protection  
exists after the pre-configured delay period has  
expired, the target voltage is set to match the existing  
pre-bias voltage and both drivers are enabled with a  
PWM duty cycle that would ideally create the pre-bias  
voltage. Once the pre-configured soft-start ramp  
period has expired, the Power Good pin will be  
asserted (assuming the pre-bias voltage is not higher  
than the overvoltage limit). The PWM will then adjust  
its duty cycle to match the original target voltage and  
the output will ramp down to the pre-configured out-  
put voltage.  
An output pre-bias condition exists when an externally  
applied voltage is present on a power supply’s output  
before the power supply’s control IC is enabled. Cer-  
tain applications require that the converter not be  
allowed to sink current during start up if a pre-bias  
condition exists at the output. The ZL2005P provides  
pre-bias protection by sampling the output voltage  
prior to initiating an output ramp.  
If a pre-bias voltage lower than the target voltage  
exists after the pre-configured delay period has  
expired, the target voltage is set to match the existing  
pre-bias voltage and both drivers are enabled. The out-  
put voltage is then ramped to the final regulation value  
at the ramp rate set by the SS (0,1) pins. The actual  
time the output will take to ramp from the pre-bias  
voltage to the target voltage will vary depending on  
the pre-bias voltage but the total time elapsed from  
when the delay period expires and when the output  
reaches its target value will match the pre-configured  
ramp time. See Figure 20.  
If a pre-bias voltage higher than the overvoltage limit,  
the device will not initiate a turn-on sequence and will  
declare an overvoltage fault condition to exist. In this  
case, the device will respond based on the output over-  
voltage fault response method that has been selected.  
See Section 6.2, “Output Overvoltage Protection,” for  
response options due to an overvoltage condition.  
6.4 Output Overcurrent Protection  
The ZL2005P can protect the power supply from dam-  
age if the output is shorted to ground or if an overload  
condition is imposed on the output. Once the current

determine the desired course of action to be taken  
when an overload condition exists.

6.6 Voltage Tracking  
on how to select specific overcurrent fault response  
options via the I2C/SMBus interface.  
Numerous high performance systems place stringent  
demands on the order in which the power supply volt-  
ages are turned on. This is particularly true when  
powering FPGAs, ASICs, and other advanced proces-  
sor devices that require multiple supply voltages to  
power a single die. In most cases, the I/O operates at a  
higher voltage than the Core and therefore the Core  
supply voltage, must not exceed the I/O supply voltage  
by some amount (typically 300 mV).  
6.5 Thermal Protection  
The ZL2005P includes an on-chip thermal sensor that  
continuously measures the internal temperature of the  
die and will shut down the device when the tempera-  
ture exceeds the preset limit. The default temperature  
limit is set to 125°C in the factory, but the user may set  
the limit to a different value if desired. See Applica-  
tion Note AN2013 for details. Note that setting a  
higher thermal limit via the I2C/SMBus interface may  
result in permanent damage to the device. Once the  
device has been disabled due to an internal tempera-  
ture fault, the user may select one of several fault  
response options as follows:  
Voltage tracking protects these sensitive ICs by limit-  
ing the differential voltage between multiple power  
supplies during the power-up and power down  
sequence. The ZL2005P 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. The VTRK pin is an analog input that, when  
tracking mode is enabled, configures the voltage  
applied to the VTRK pin to act as a reference for the  
device’s output regulation.  
1. Initiate a shutdown and attempt to restart an infi-  
nite number of times with a preset delay time.  
2. Initiate a shutdown and attempt to restart the  
power supply a preset number of times with a pre-  
set delay between attempts.  
The ZL2005P offers two modes of tracking:  
1. Coincident. This mode configures the ZL2005P to  
ramp its output voltage at the same rate as the volt-  
age applied to the VTRK pin.  
3. Continue operating throughout a specific delay  
time, followed by shutdown.  
4. Continue operating throughout the fault (this  
could result in permanent damage to the power  
supply).  
2. Ratiometric. This mode configures the ZL2005P  
to ramp its output voltage at a rate that is a per-  
centage of the voltage applied to the VTRK pin.  
The default setting is 50%, but an external resistor  
string may be used to configure a different track-  
ing ratio.  
5. Initiate an immediate shutdown.  
If the user has configured the device to restart, the  
device will wait the preset delay period (if configured  
to do so) and will then check the temperature. If the  
temperature has dropped below a value that is approx-  
imately 15°C lower than the selected temperature limit  
(the over-temperature warning threshold), the device  
will attempt to re-start. If the temperature is still  
above the over-temperature warning threshold, the  
device will wait the preset delay period and retry  
again.  
Figure 21 illustrates the typical connection and the two  
tracking modes.  
The Tracking feature is not supported for ZL2005P  
devices in a current sharing group.  
The default response from a temperature fault is an  
immediate shutdown of the device. The device will  
continuously check for the presence of the fault condi-  
tion. If the fault condition is no longer present, the  
ZL2005P will be re-enabled.  
Please refer to Application Note AN2013 for details  
on how to select specific temperature fault response  
options via the I2C/SMBus interface.

The ZL2005P offers a simple means to vary its output  
higher or lower than its nominal voltage setting in  
order to determine whether the load device is capable  
of operating over its specified supply voltage range.  
The MGN pin is a TTL-compatible input that is con-  
tinuously monitored and can be driven directly by a  
processor I/O pin or other logic-level output.

The ZL2005P output will be forced higher than its  
nominal setpoint when the MGN pin is driven HIGH,  
and the output will be forced lower than its nominal  
setpoint when the MGN pin is driven LOW. When the  
MGN pin is left floating (high impedance), the  
ZL2005P output voltage will be set to its nominal volt-  
age setpoint determined by the V0 and V1 pins and/or  
the I2C/SMBus settings that configure the nominal  
output voltage. Default margin limits of VNOM ±5%  
are pre-loaded in the factory, but the margin limits can  
be modified through the I2C/SMBus interface to as  
high as VNOM + 10% or as low as 0V, where VNOM is  
the nominal output voltage setpoint determined by the  
V0 and V1 pins.

The margin limits and the MGN command can both be

Additionally, the transition rate between the nominal  
output voltage and either margin limit can be config-  
ured through the I2C/SMBus interface. Please refer to  
Application Note AN2013 for detailed instructions on  
modifying the margining configurations.  
Figure 21. Tracking Modes  
The master ZL2005P device in a tracking group is  
defined as the device that has the highest target output  
voltage within the group. This master device will con-  
trol the ramp rate of all tracking devices and is not  
configured for tracking mode. A delay of at least 10  
ms must be configured into the master device, and the  
user may also configure a specific ramp rate using  
PMBus.

6.8 I C/SMBus Communications  
The ZL2005P provides an I2C/SMBus digital interface  
that enables the user to configure all aspects of the  
device operation as well as monitor the input and out-  
put parameters. The ZL2005P can be used with any  
standard 2-wire I2C host device. In addition, the  
device is compatible with SMBus version 2.0 and  
includes an SALRT line to help mitigate bandwidth  
limitations related to continuous fault monitoring. The  
ZL2005P accepts most standard PMBus commands.  
Any device that is configured for tracking mode will  
ignore its soft-start delay and ramp time settings and  
its output will take on the turn-on/turn-off characteris-  
tics of the reference voltage present at the VTRK pin.  
The tracking mode for all other devices can be set by  
PMBus. All of the ENABLE pins in the tracking group  
must be connected together and driven by a single  
logic source.  
Please refer to Application Note AN2013 for details  
on how to configure tracking via the I2C/SMBus inter-  
face.

Using this method, the user can theoretically configure  
up to 625 unique SMBus addresses; however, the  
SMBus is inherently limited to 128 devices so  
attempting to configure an address higher than 128  
will cause the device address to repeat (i.e, attempting  
to configure a device address of 129 would result in a  
device address of 1). Therefore, the user should use  
index values 0-4 on the SA1 pin and the full range of  
index values on the SA0 pin, which will provide 125  
device address combinations.  
6.9 I C/SMBus Device Address Selection  
When communicating with multiple ZL2005Ps using  
the I2C/SMBus serial interface, each device must have  
its own unique address so the host can distinguish  
between the devices. The device address can be set  
according to the pin-strap options listed in Table 27 to  
provide up to eight unique device addresses. Address  
values are right-justified.

6.10 Phase Spreading  
When multiple point of load converters share a com-  
mon DC input supply, it is desirable to adjust the clock  
phase offset of each device such that not all devices  
start to switch simultaneously. Setting each converter  
to start its switching cycle at a different point in time  
can dramatically reduce input capacitance require-  
ments and efficiency losses. Since the peak current  
drawn from the input supply is effectively spread out  
over a period of time, the peak current drawn at any  
given moment is reduced and the power losses propor-  
tional to the IRMS2 are reduced dramatically.  
82.5 kΩ  
90.9 kΩ  
100 kΩ  
If more than 25 unique device addresses are required  
or if other SMBus address values are desired, both the  
SA0 and SA1 pins can be configured with a resistor to  
SGND according to the equation (30) and Table 29.  
In order to enable phase spreading, all converters must  
be synchronized to the same switching clock. The  
CFG pin is used to set the configuration of the SYNC  
pin for each device as described in Section 5.7,  
“Switching Frequency and PLL,” .  
SMBus addr = 25x(SA1 index)+(SA0 index) (30)

ZL2005P  
Selecting the phase offset for the device is accom-  
plished by selecting a device address according to the  
following equation:  
Autonomous sequencing mode configures sequencing  
using status information broadcast by ZL2005P onto  
the I2C/SMBus pins SCL and SDA. No I2C or SMBus  
host device is involved in this method, but the SCL  
and SDA pins must be interconnected between all  
devices that the user wishes to sequence using this  
method. Note: Pull-up resistors on SCL and SDA are  
required and should be selected using the criteria in  
the SMBus 2.0 specification.  
Phase offset = device address x 45°  
For example:  
A device address of 0x00 or 0x20 would configure no  
phase offset  
The sequence order is determined using each device’s  
A device address of 0x01 or 0x21 would config-  
ure 45° of phase offset  
I2C/SMBus device address.  
Using autonomous  
sequencing mode (configured using the CFG pin), the  
devices must exhibit sequential device addresses with  
no missing addresses in the chain. This mode will also  
constrain each device to have a phase offset according  
to its device address as described in Section 6.10,  
“Phase Spreading,” on page 34.  
A device address of 0x02 or 0x22 would config-  
ure 90° of phase offset.  
The phase offset of each device may also be set to any  
value between 0° and 337.5° in 22.5° increments via  
the I2C/SMBus interface. Please refer to Application  
Note AN2013 for details.  
The group will turn on in order starting with the device  
with the lowest address and will continue to turn on  
each device in the address chain until all devices con-  
nected have been turned on. When turning off, the  
device with the highest address will turn off first fol-  
lowed in reverse order by the other devices in the  
group.  
6.11 Output Sequencing  
A group of ZL2005P devices may be configured to  
power up in a predetermined sequence. This feature is  
especially useful when powering advanced processors,  
FPGAs, and ASICs that require one supply to reach its  
operating voltage prior to another supply reaching its  
operating voltage. Multi-device sequencing can be  
achieved by configuring each device through the I2C/  
SMBus interface or by using Zilker Labs’ proprietary  
Autonomous SequencingTM mode.  
Sequencing is configured by connecting a resistor  
from the CFG pin to ground as described in Table 30.  
The CFG pin is used to set the configuration of the  
SYNC pin as well as to determine the sequencing  
method and order. Please refer to Switching Frequency  
and PLL for more details on the operating parameters  
of the SYNC pin.

Multiple device sequencing may also be achieved by  
issuing PMBus commands to assign the preceding  
device in the sequencing chain as well as the device  
that will follow in the sequencing chain. This method  
places fewer restrictions on device address (no need of  
sequential address) and also allows the user to assign  
any phase offset to any device irrespective of its  
device address.  
6.12 Monitoring via I C/SMBus  
A system controller can monitor a wide variety of dif-  
ferent ZL2005P system parameters through the I2C/  
SMBus interface. The controller can monitor for fault  
conditions by monitoring the SALRT pin, which will  
be asserted when any number of pre-configured fault  
or warning conditions occur. The system controller  
can also continuously monitor for any number of  
power conversion parameters including but not limited  
to the following:  
Event-based sequencing and fault spreading are broad-  
cast in address groups of up to sixteen ZL2005P  
devices. An address group consists of all devices  
whose addresses differ in only the four least signifi-  
cant bits of the address. For example, addresses 20, 25  
and 2F are all within the same group. Addresses 1F, 20  
and 35 are all in different groups. Devices in the same  
address group can broadcast power on and power off  
sequencing and fault spreading events with each other.  
Devices in different groups cannot.

2. Output voltage  
3. Output current  
4. Internal junction temperature  
5. Temperature of an external device  
6. Switching frequency  
7. Duty cycle  
The Enable pins of all devices in a sequencing group  
must be tied together and driven high to initiate a  
sequenced turn-on of the group. Enable must be driven  
low to initiate a sequenced turnoff of the group.

on how to monitor specific parameters via the I2C/  
SMBus interface.

6.14 Non-volatile Memory and Device  
Security Features  
6.13 Temperature Monitoring Using the  
XTEMP Pin  
The ZL2005P has internal non-volatile memory where  
user configurations are stored. Integrated security  
measures ensure that the user can only restore the  
device to a level that has been made available to them.  
During the initialization process, the ZL2005P checks  
for stored values contained in its internal memory. The  
ZL2005P offers one internal memory storage unit (two  
for the ZL2005) called Default Store.  
The ZL2005P supports measurement of an external  
device temperature using either a thermal diode inte-  
grated in a processor, FPGA or ASIC, or using a dis-  
crete diode-connected NPN transistor such as a  
2N3904 or equivalent. Figure 22 illustrates the typical  
connections required.  
A system designer or a power supply module manu-  
facturer may want to protect the device by preventing  
the user from being able to modify certain values. In  
this case, he would use the Default Store and would  
allow the user to restore the device to its default set-  
ting but would restrict the user from restoring the  
device to the factory setting. Please refer to Applica-  
tion Note AN2013 for details on how to set specific  
security measures via the I2C/SMBus interface.
